.However, Wang Fu has a headache when dealing with the fake prince who suddenly appeared in the capital. It is said that this prince was discovered by Mu Hu, a servant of Gao Mengji, Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple. Mu Hu used to be trapped in Beijing and fled to the south until the end of the year. He met a young man along the way. The two walked together. When they slept in the same room at night, Mu Hu suddenly found that the young man had dragon patterns in his underwear. He was shocked and asked quickly that the young man had only the crown prince.

Mu Hu was careful to curry favor with the young man along the way south, and took the man who claimed to be the crown prince all the way to Nanjing and reported to his master that Gao Mengji did not dare to confirm it, and reported to Ma Shiying and others. This was why the case of the crown prince was spreading in Nanjing. Now that he passed by Xuan Ran of the Donglin Party, the identity of the crown prince seemed to be confirmed.

What is the identity of Chongzhen's crown prince? How could the Manchus allow him to escape when he captured Beijing? The confirmed dead person at that time has now been revealed again. Most court officials were half-believing and half-doubted. After the Donglin Party members, most people in the people believed that the crown prince was real. It was really ridiculous.

Mu Hu's words were too suspicious. Even if the crown prince escaped from the capital, he would definitely be extremely panicked. How could an outsider easily see his underwear with dragon patterns?

This kind of scam may have deceived most people, but for Wang Fu who has experienced the era of various scammers flying in the sky in later generations, you don’t need to look at it and know that the prince is absolutely fake. But even though you know that the other party is fake, how to deal with it is still a difficult problem. After the Donglin Party members, the people have already preconceived ideas and think that the prince is the truth. If they are not handled well, it will be a huge blow to the reputation that Wang Fu has established now.

Along the way, Wang Fu was thinking about how to solve the problem of the crown prince, but he still did not think of a good way to deal with the crown prince. If he directly pointed out that the crown prince was false, no matter how much evidence was found, many people would still think that the crown prince was true, but the emperor deliberately fabricated evidence because he was afraid that his throne would not be guaranteed. After all, from a legal perspective, the crown prince was the heir to the throne.

The easiest way is to admit the crown prince directly regardless of whether it is true or false, and appoint him as an idle prince. With Wang Fu's current prestige, he is not afraid that the crown prince will threaten the throne. However, this crown prince is an irregular bomb, which will definitely cause some people to be excited. Maybe it will burst out at any time, especially now that the emperor has no descendants, which gives many people room to imagine.

I can't think of a good idea, but Wang Fusuxing didn't want to. He even defeated the army of tens of thousands of people. Will he be stumped by a fake boy of sixteen or seventeen years old?

In the early February of the first year of Hongguang, the emperor's imperial guards who had been out for more than a month finally returned to Beijing. Over the past month, the Ming Dynasty seemed to have experienced a roller coaster, first facing the panic of the Qing army southward, then the burden of the emperor's personal struggle, and then the news of the emperor's victory over the Tartars came. When he heard this good news, most people did not believe their ears, and then became ecstatic. The previous burden of the enemy was immediately wiped out.

On the day when Wang Fu returned to Beijing, not only all civil and military officials came to the dock to greet him. Almost all the people near Nanjing City went out and hid on both sides of the road. Just to witness the dragon's face once, many people were still excited and unspeakable, as the emperor's car drove by, the sound of the long live the world, and it is said that they could be heard dozens of miles away.

Faced with the cheers of dozens or millions of people, each Yulin Guard held his head up and accepted it calmly. After the baptism of this war, their faces seemed to have matured a lot all of a sudden. With their performance this time, it is worthy of the cheers of these people.

Master Wang, Huang Zongxi, Hou Fangyu and other Donglin Party members also stood among the crowd of people who were welcomed. Facing nearly one million people cheering for the emperor, everyone was in a daze. Since Wanli, the Donglin Party members have taken the world as their responsibility. They think they are righteous gentlemen. The so-called taking the world as their responsibility means that all the rights of the land must be held in the hands of their own people. All the subjects who do not belong to the Donglin Party are rejected by them. Even if they cannot fight in the court, the people will make them bad.

In the Wanli Dynasty, the Donglin Party and Concubine Zheng fought. The so-called fighting for the foundation of the country. Both sides did not do anything. Every day, they made a big spy. After the 15th year of the battle, the Donglin Party won a great victory. Wanli had to make Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the Earth Emperor, the crown prince.

The Tianqi Dynasty. The Donglin Party members fought with Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian was an eunuch party. The Donglin Party members fought with the eunuch party to be very pleased. This made the Donglin Party members gain a great reputation. With the fall of Wei Zhongxian, the Donglin Party members achieved great success. For a while, the Donglin Party members were all over the court. Unfortunately, these gentlemen failed to save the fate of the Ming Dynasty in the mountains. In the end, Li Zicheng entered the capital and the emperor was hanged in the coal mountains.

When Hongguang was first established, the Donglin Party members started another big fight. In order to prevent the former son of Concubine Zheng, the King of Fu, from ascending the throne, the Donglin Party members did not hesitate to pour waste water on King Fu. They proposed to establish a virtuous person but not a virtuous person. In sharp contrast to the position of establishing a virtuous person when competing for the foundation of the country, forcing King Fu to take advantage of the power of the four towns in Jiangbei to ascend the throne. This also laid the disaster of the domineering four towns in the future. If it weren't for the arrival of Wang Fu, this small court would have a few months of life, as if it were the Qing people who had plowed the court.

Now the Donglin Party can be said to be defeated in the court. The only place to rely on is folk theory. But seeing the people's enthusiasm for worshiping the emperor, how can the Donglin Party members not feel discouraged?

"Hmph. Wasn't it just that the emperor defeated the Tartars in person?" Huang Zongxi became angry. When he said this, he felt guilty himself. The voice behind him became low.

More than 40,000 beheaded and thousands of Tartars surrendered, including Duoduo, the Prince of Yu of the Qing Dynasty. Even the total number of Tartars killed by the Ming Dynasty in decades of fighting with the Manchus was not as high as this time. How could it be summarized simply by winning once?

It is not that no one doubts the authenticity of the emperor's military achievements. If the statistics of military achievements reported by the border generals in the past have been destroyed dozens of times, so every time the border generals report their merits, the court will send someone to check the head. This time the emperor personally commanded the army, so naturally there will be no problem of checking the head. Then the emperor is still allowed to do so.

However, when I heard that even Duodou surrendered, those who were suspicious kept their mouths shut. Duodou was the younger brother of a comrade-comrade-in-law of the Qing Dynasty, and the commander of the Manchus' southward journey this time. Duodou surrendered, which only means that everything is true, otherwise Duodou would not be able to surrender.

Huang Zongxi's words frightened the Donglin Party members around him. Wang Fuzhi hurriedly said, "Taichong, keep the sound." He hurriedly looked around. Fortunately, all the people focused on the emperor and the Yulinwei who came over. Otherwise, Wang Fuzhi suspected that if someone heard it, would anyone come to tear them apart?

"Let's go, there's nothing to see." Hou Chaozong pulled the sleeves of the two of them.

"If the prince can ascend the throne again, my Donglin Party members are in the court for assistance..." A Donglin Party scholar murmured to himself like a dream. This was exactly what the Donglin Party members thought a few days ago. In order to achieve this goal, they made a big theory without waiting for confirming the authenticity of the prince. However, the news of the emperor's victory over the Tartars came, and this idea was immediately shattered.

"Hmph, even if the late emperor is resurrected, he will not be able to achieve the wise wisdom of the current emperor. Let's not talk about the authenticity of the prince. You have famous lords but do not know how to assist you, but put your hope on a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old. Is it really thinking about the country or is it too selfish? Don't you still know how to reflect on it?"

Hearing these words, Huang Zongxi, Hou Fangyu and others were shocked. He was relieved when he saw that it was Fang Yizhi, Chen Zhenhui and others. Hou Fangyu said unhappily: "Mizhi, what does this mean? It's not that we don't want to enter the court, but the emperor asked Donglin and all the Xianxian to resign and let Ma Shiying and others take power in the court. How can we wait for the day to stand out?"

Fang Yizhi and the others were not inferior to Ma Shiying's hatred. He could only say, "No matter what, the emperor is now a famous emperor. Even if we scholars cannot assist the emperor, we should not destroy it behind our backs."

"It may not be that the emperor can only be a military force. The Yulin Guard, who was founded by one, has such high military salary and benefits, which is even worse than that of the Ming Dynasty officials. The emperor attaches so much importance to warriors, which may not be a blessing to the Ming Dynasty." Huang Zongxi said coldly.

Indeed, the salary that Taizu of the Ming Dynasty gave to a county magistrate was only 45 taels a year, but now the military salary of ordinary soldiers of Yulin Guards has reached 60 taels. Although the actual income of the county magistrate is ten times or even dozens or hundreds of times his official salary, on the surface, the salary of a county magistrate is indeed not as good as that of an ordinary Yulin Guard soldier.

Fang Yizhi naturally wanted to defend the emperor a few words. It was not unreasonable for the emperor to treat Yulin Guard so seriously. This victory was proof that neither side conquered each other. In addition, there were fanatical people around, Huang Zongxi, Wang Fuzhi and others could not shout loudly, and they could only part in disagreement.

Although the emperor has always suppressed the people of the Donglin Party, which has made the people of the Donglin Party angry, as the emperor's achievements become more and more important, some knowledgeable people in the Donglin Party will definitely reflect, and division will not be avoided. The differences between Fang Yizhi, Chen Zhenhui, Huang Zongxi, Wang Fuzhi, Hou Fangyu and others are just the beginning, and the Donglin Party will definitely become more and more divided in the future.

Their dispute was not paid attention to for the time being, and naturally had no effect on the welcome people. As the Emperor Yulin Guard advanced, the people's cheers became more and more intense. Until the emperor returned to the palace, the emperor's shouts of the emperor in the city were still endless. After a long time, everyone dispersed one after another.

It is said that the pharmacy shops in Nanjing were very good that day, either used to treat various bruises and injuries, or most people treated their throats and itchyness. Many people were too devoted to shouting and hurt their throats. The next day, almost half of the people in the city spoke in a hoarse voice.
