Chapter 938 The Way of the Faint Lord
Hong Chengchou replied: "The solution is very simple. Huguang is the territory of Li Lao Er and the thieves, and a large number of gentry fled. We can win over the gentry of Huguang to deal with Li Lao Er and the thieves, and we will surely win over the hearts of the people of Huguang. Anyway, we have three years of agreement with the Ming Dynasty. We should not act too rush, so we should slowly take it."
Dorgon asked again: "Can Grand Secretary Hong deal with Li Laoer by way of discord and use Chongzhen to get rid of Li Laoer?"
"Impossible!" Hong Chengchou sighed, "Li Lao Er saved Chongzhen, and the gentry in the world made Chongzhen feel sad. How much money did Li Lao Er and Zhang Shuheng help Chongzhen earn? Now the military power of the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of Li Lao Er, and unless Chongzhen is stupid, he will be counter-espionage! If Chongzhen wanted to kill Li Lao Er, he might fall off his horse, fall into the water, and take medicine one day and die."
After hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Dorgon suddenly had a year in his mind: "Master Hong, do you have a way to let Chongzhen die? The whereabouts of the three princes of Chongzhen are unknown. If Chongzhen dies at this time, wouldn't Yongli become orthodox? If Yongli becomes orthodox, then Li Laoer is attacked from both sides, wouldn't our chance come?"
Hong Chengchou quickly stood up and praised: "The prince is wise! This method can be tried! Chongzhen's tyrant monarch harmed the gentry in the world, and the people were already living in poverty and complained! The gentry in the world wished that the tyrant monarch would return to heaven as soon as possible. If we bribed people, we might find a way for this tyrant monarch to die."
In fact, the safety work of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was very poor. If you really wanted to find a way to fall into the water, fall off a horse, take drugs, hit a stick, and cover yourself with a quilt, there was always a way suitable for Chongzhen to die.
Although the climate in Nanjing is thousands of miles away, there are countless eunuchs on the banks of Xuanwu Lake. The Han general serves as a warning. Two figures in the lake are swimming in the winter. The two swimming in the lake are Chongzhen and Wang Chengen. Because the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was too easy to fall into the water, Chongzhen learned to swim every day after he arrived in the south. Now his water quality is very good. Even in the cold winter, he has to go into the water to swim in the winter.
Well, the way to fall into the water and die can be rejected.
Chongzhen climbed ashore, and immediately a group of eunuchs surrounded him. Someone handed him a bath towel, someone helped him wipe his body, and then someone handed him clothes.
"Parent Wang, the winter swimming mentioned by Duke Chu is really very effective. My body is much stronger now. In this winter, only two pieces of clothes are enough." Chongzhen said with a smile.
Climbing up the shore from the cold water, the cold wind blew, Chongzhen didn't feel cold at all. This was the effect of winter swimming. In fact, before Chongzhen's first winter swimming, he jogged 3,000 steps in the palace every day according to Li Guodong's requirements, and practiced barbells, push-ups, leg pressing and other training every day. He didn't feel cold until winter, and then started his first winter swimming. Of course, he had already started swimming many times in the summer and had already practiced a good body.
Chongzhen is as strong as a cow, and the white hair on his head has almost disappeared. When he just fled from Beijing, Chongzhen, who was in his thirties, looked like an old man in his sixties. In fact, Li Guodong was only two years younger than Chongzhen, but at that time, Li Guodong looked like a young man in his early twenties, and compared with Chongzhen. From his appearance, the little old man Chongzhen looked like he could be his grandfather.
Now Chongzhen, a middle-aged man who is nearly forty years old, looks like a young man of twenty-five or six years old. If Li Guodong stood in front of Chongzhen now, Chongzhen would look younger than Li Guodong.
People who exercise regularly look much younger. In addition, Zhang Shuheng and Wang Chengen helped him solve financial problems and have fewer worries. They are in a good mood every day and have a reasonable schedule. Chongzhen has become younger in recent years.
Seeing that her father was getting younger and younger, Zhu Huixiu was naturally getting better and better. Now she is nineteen years old, but she has not yet gotten married. In this era, a nineteen-year-old woman has not yet gotten married and is already an old girl. Zhu Huixiu is not in a hurry at all. She already has a crush on someone in her heart. Although she thinks it is impossible, she still holds a glimmer of hope. Emperor Chongzhen is not in a hurry to find a son-in-law for her daughter. She has chosen several son-in-laws before, but none of them can be seen.
Some people are happy and some are worried. Seeing Chongzhen's body getting better and better day by day, Chongzhen's family and Wang Chengen were happy, but some people in the court were not happy at all. They secretly cursed in their hearts: "When will this foolish monarch die? If the foolish monarch dies at this time, it is the most perfect thing. If the three princes are missing, Yongli will become orthodox!"
Originally, falling into the water was the best way to die, but now Chongzhen's water quality is very good, and it is comparable to the pirates of the Zheng family army. Can he still maintain the tradition of Emperor Ming falling into the water?
These people are worried about finding a reasonable way to die for the foolish monarch. If they continue to drag on it, maybe Chongzhen may have several more princes, then it will be too late to let Chongzhen die again. Then the little emperor ascended the throne, whether it is the princess or the queen mother, they will let the Duke of Chu return to Nanjing. At that time, it will be the Duke of Chu who has the final say. The orphan and widowed mother and a princess are still in the hands of Duke of Chu. Duke of Chu will do whatever he wants?
It is necessary to do a big thing as early as possible. When Chongzhen has a son, he will make wedding dresses for others. At that time, maybe Duke Chu will wake up from his dream.
And where are the three princes of Chongzhen?
Outside Yumen Pass, the Qing army camp.
Teams of alert green camp soldiers on the periphery patrolled back and forth with various weapons in their hands. The inner layer was heavy armored Han Eight Banners soldiers serving as the warning. In addition to the "Qing" flag of the Qing Dynasty flying from the Qing Dynasty, there was also a "Wu" flag.
Near the Central Army Camp, in an inconspicuous barracks, Wu Sangui, wearing casual clothes, knelt in front of a young man wearing the military uniform of a soldier in the Eight Banners of Han: "My minister Wu Sangui kowtows to the Crown Prince!"
This young man dressed as a servant of the Eight Banners was Zhu Ciyang, who was hidden in his camp by Wu Sangui!
Four years ago, after Zhu Cilang was sold to Li Zicheng by Zhu Chunchen, Li Zicheng ascended the throne in the capital, but in a blink of an eye, the Qing army entered the pass. Zhu Cilang was taken to Shaanxi by Li Zicheng, but he ran away halfway and fell into Jiang Xiang's hands. Later, Wu Sangui's people discovered the prince in Jiang Xiang's hands, so they asked the prince over.
"General Wu, when can I go back to Nanjing to reunite with my father?" Zhu Cixuan asked.
Wu Sangui hurriedly said, "Your Highness, your lords are silent! There are many Jiannu in my army! If they hear it, your life will be difficult to protect! I have been looking for opportunities to send your lords back to Nanjing, but Jiannu has been keeping an eye on it, so I have no chance. But please rest assured that your lords, as long as you have the chance, I will definitely send you back to Nanjing."
In fact, Wu Sangui didn't want to send Zhu Cilang to Nanjing at all, because he believed that Zhu Cilang was a trump card in his hands to save his life! In the future, if Li Guodong regrets it, he will attack Guan Ningjun. If he has His Royal Highness in his hands, Li Guodong must have to consider it.
In addition, even if Dorgon knew about the crown prince, the crown prince would not be in danger of his life. Now Li Guodong's power is too strong. At most, the Qing Dynasty took Zhu Cilang hostage, so it is impossible for him to really kill the crown prince.
