Chapter 68 Four Kings

 What a joy it is to have friends from far away!

Zhu Hengjia is entertaining distinguished guests. These two distinguished guests today are of great importance. They are both famous bachelors of the Longwu Dynasty.

One was He Wuzou, a native of Xiangshan, named Longyou, known as Xianzu Taoist, and a Shujishi in Wanli years. This man was talented. He not only wrote good poems and essays, but also had excellent calligraphy. Xing, one of the four famous calligraphy masters at that time

Dong, Dong Qichang, Mi Wanzhong, Zhang Ruitu and others praised him as "setting up a new school outside the mountains".

The other one is Su Guansheng, a native of Guancheng, whose courtesy name is Yulin. This person failed in the imperial examination and was only admitted to the imperial examination at the age of thirty. He was not elected to the Imperial Academy until seven years after Chongzhen. Although he failed in the imperial examination, he had a strong character and was sent to another country.

No. "Three do not want the master".

This nickname has its origin. In that year, Su Guansheng was appointed as the magistrate of Wuji County. He redressed unjust cases for the people. He offended Shangguan and was framed. He said: "I don't want an official position, I don't want money, I don't want my life. What can I do?" What can the common people do?

He was given a nickname: "Master Sanwu". When he left Wuji, the people set up a monument for him.

As a time traveler, Zhu Hengjia knew that after the death of Emperor Longwu in history, these people initially wanted to defect to Emperor Yongli. Emperor Yongli's important ministers Ding Kuichu, Lu Daqi and others were afraid that the arrival of these highly respected guys would affect their status and harm them.

Very cold. As a result, these people became angry and supported Emperor Longwu's younger brother, Tang Wang Zhu Yuxuan, as emperor, with the reign name Shaowu. Then Emperor Yongli and Emperor Shaowu fought a civil war.

This is not okay. Now that we have traveled through time, we must correct this mistake and treat Longwu’s surviving ministers favorably. To avoid killing each other and making the Tatars laugh!

Therefore, Zhu Hengjia was very kind to the two bachelors who came to seek refuge. He undressed and provided food and took care of them in every possible way. He immediately appointed the two as his Dongge bachelors and held a banquet to welcome them.

"How did the two elders come to Guilin?"

"Reporting to the supervisory state, it was Fu Mingbo who protected the King of Tang and us, the remaining ministers, who retreated to Sanshui."

Zhu Hengjia nodded. As a time traveler, the commander-in-chief of the Sanshui Navy, and the assistant to the Ming Dynasty, he knew the name of Bolincha.

Lin Cha was very good at fighting and joined the army in his early years. During the Longwu period, he was awarded the title of Governor of the Left, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and was granted the title of Assistant Ming Bo. In history, the two emperors of the Southern Ming Dynasty fought for power, and Emperor Yongli sent troops to attack Emperor Shao Wu, but Lin Cha was severely defeated.<

/p>

This man was not only strong in the internal war, but also ruthless in the foreign war. After Emperor Shao Wu was killed by the Qing army, this man defected to Zheng Chenggong, fought against the Tatars, and made many military exploits. In the fourteenth year of Yongli, General Dasu of Annan of the Qing Dynasty led the coalition forces of the three provinces.

During the invasion of Fujian, Lincha fought bravely to kill the enemy and killed the Qing army guards Jiamuyana, Shangjitu, Dadu and Malaqi. He was also seriously injured and died in the army.

Such a powerful general, I must win him over! I can’t let Zheng Chenggong take it easy.

Zhu Hengjia walked up to He Wuzou and Su Guansheng and bowed deeply: "If you have anything to do, please ask the two elders to help me. I hope the two elders will not give up their hard work!"

"Oh, Supervisor! This can't be done! If you have something to do, please give me your instructions!"

"I would like to ask the two elders to go to Guangdong and recruit the old officials of Longwu for me. I want to reuse them. In addition, I would like to ask the two elders to invite the King of Tang to Guilin for me."

"This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. No matter how hard it is, I am willing to go."

??

Under the guidance of two bachelors, the recruitment of Longwu's ministers went smoothly. Zeng Daowei, a bachelor of Dongge in the Longwu Dynasty, Bolincha of the Assistant Ming Dynasty, Gu Yuanjing, the chief envoy of Guangdong, and Wang Yinghua, minister of the Ministry of Rites, Shaanxi

Taoist censor Lian Chengbi, official doctor Guan Jiexian and others came to vote one after another.

Longwu's younger brother, Tang Wang Zhu Yuxi, also led Zhou Wang, Yi Wang, and Liao Wang to Guilin.

Zhu Hengjia was overjoyed and consecrated Zeng Daowei as the Grand Scholar of Dongge University. Lin Cha, Gu Yuanjing and others all remained in their original posts, but Guan Jiexian was appointed as the right chief historian of the Tang Palace Chief Shi Department.

The reason why Guan Jie was not allowed to stay in the civil service first was mainly because Zhu Hengjia vaguely remembered that this person had bad moral character. Historically, he was worshiped as a bachelor of Dongge by Emperor Shaowu, but was demoted to the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, Zhu Hengjia simply let him accompany Tang Dynasty.

Wang Zhuyu relieves his boredom.

Zhu Hengjia also asked the King of Tang to grant Nanning Prefecture in Guangxi, the King of Zhou to grant Taiping Prefecture in Guangxi, the King of Yi to grant Sicheng Prefecture in Guangxi, and the King of Liao to grant Siming Prefecture in Guangxi. They were asked to grant vassal status immediately.

Seal them all in Guangxi, ostensibly to take care of them and keep them away from the war. In fact, these places are their bases, making it easier to control them.

Zhu Hengjia also prepared a certain number of bodyguards for each vassal king according to the ancestral system. They were called bodyguards, but in fact they were all selected royal guards.

Zhu Hengjia said to his confidant Tao Cheng, the commander of Jin Yiwei: "Tao Qing, these four vassal kings are all descendants of Taizu and have noble blood. You must watch over Gu Gu, no, take good care of them. You can't leave your care for a day."

”.

Tao Cheng understood this with heart: "Don't worry, the supervisor, I already have all the officials, guards, and servants in the four princes' palaces. Every move of the four princes is under my care."

Surface work still needs to be done. The four kings went to the front of the vassal. Zhu Hengjia, along with all the civil and military officials, treated the four vassal kings to a meal.

This banquet was held in the Ziguang Pavilion of Jingjiang Palace. In order to win over the four kings and Longwu ministers, a very sumptuous banquet was prepared, including delicacies from mountains and seas, jade delicacies, and wine.

The banquet was half eaten, and both the king and his ministers were drunk.

Suddenly I heard a burst of crying.

Zhu Hengjia turned around and saw Fuming Bolincha with tears in his eyes and sobbing. He couldn't help but be surprised: "Why is Lin Qing crying?"

Lin Cha's eyes were red and he said: "I saw that His Highness gave a banquet, the dishes were exquisite, and all the utensils were gorgeous. Suddenly I remembered that when Emperor Longwu gave a banquet, there were only a few dishes and the utensils were ordinary. I couldn't help but feel sad because of the scene.

Sad".

After Zhu Hengjia heard this, his face turned red.

Emperor Longwu, Zhu Yujian, was so dedicated to the Ming Dynasty that he was reluctant to eat or drink. His dragon robes were made of coarse cloth and he refused to replace them when they were old. He only ate a few dishes for each meal. The money he saved was used to revitalize the Ming Dynasty.

Compared with Emperor Longwu, my moral character is indeed inferior.

Zhu Hengjia hurriedly explained: "I usually live a very frugal life, with only four dishes and one soup for each meal. This time, it was because the Qing family came from afar, so they were more prepared. I won't do this next time." He also said to Guanglu

Tang Han, the minister of the temple, said: "Tang Qing, starting from today, the court banquet will only be served with a maximum of eight dishes and one soup for each banquet. No waste."

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

The great scholar He Wuzuo secretly kicked Lin Cha.

Lin Cha reacted and hurriedly left the table, knelt down and apologized: "I made a mistake while drunk, please imprison the country and punish my crime."

Zhu Hengjia hurriedly helped Lin Cha up, soothed him and said: "Uncle Fu Ming is loyal by nature and never forgets the late emperor. What crime is he guilty of? I like Lin Qing, a bold and upright man, who is really the backbone of our Ming Dynasty!"
After appeasing Lin Cha, Zhu Hengjia picked up the wine glass again: "This is an extravagant act, and it won't happen again. The food has been cooked, so it would be a pity not to eat it. Come on, let me have a drink with you. Let's have a drink with you today. I won't go home until I'm drunk.
