Jiang Yueguang finally met Emperor Chongzhen.

Wu Yan had a long talk with Jiang Yueguang that day, but Jiang Yueguang did not hide it and told the attitude of the important officials in the south as the truth. Naturally, these news were quickly sent to Dengzhou, because Zhu Cilang went ashore in Dengzhou and returned to Laizhou.

Since Zhu Cilang is unwilling to be a traitor like Caomang, of course, he cannot deliberately prevent Jiang Yueguang from meeting His Majesty the Emperor. Otherwise, the IQ of the ministers in the south might really cause "clearing the king's side" and other things to do. However, after mastering the movements in Jiangnan, Zhu Cilang was relieved. Obviously, the south was still in a low IQ tangle. The Donglin Party clamored to send troops north to welcome the emperor, but the governor of Fengyang, Ma Shiying, who held military power, was not a fool.

So Ma Shiying sent Song Yingxing and went to Laizhou with Jiang Yueguang to see what happened to the emperor's journey.

Emperor Chongzhen had long wanted to see Jiang Yueguang, but he did not agree immediately after considering his son's emotions. In order to appease Jiang Yueguang, Chongzhen asked someone to find a singer in the palace and sang a Kunshan tune. Jiang Yueguang was mixed with a group of honors and relatives, and also attended and listened to the song and saw Chongzhen from afar.

This undoubtedly means that the emperor is now in good health and in a stable mood.

Jiang Yueguang returned to the official post and immediately ordered someone to send a letter to Nanjing to inform the news. However, he also mixed some private goods and explained the Kunshan accent of Emperor Chongzhen's arrangement as "the emperor may have the wish of Nanyou but could not do it." This undoubtedly greatly stimulated the Donglin Party, which boasted of being loyal ministers, and sent memorials to express his willingness to spend all his family's wealth and welcome the emperor to the south.

"It's fine to show loyalty, but at this time, he still didn't forget to impeach Ma Shiying and respect himself and refused to serve the king." Zhu Cilang couldn't help laughing when he saw these memorials.

Sun Chuanting said: "Your Highness, Donglin is not worth worrying. Those who should worry are the generals under Feng." He said with great emotion: "Song Yingxing was the commander of Feng, but even the guards borrowed Jiang Yueguang. This is Ma Shiying who wanted to tell the court that it is difficult for him to control one army and one soldier."

Zhu Cixuan smiled and said, "Our dynasty has been governing military affairs for 200 years, but the current governor doesn't even dare to put a stamp on it. Do you still have to use such code words?"

Sun Chuanting didn't seem to be a joke. He said seriously: "Your Highness, if you put a note on it, someone may rebel immediately."

Zhu Cilang was shocked and said seriously: "Suspicion has been a taboo for the monarch and his subjects since ancient times."

Of course, Sun Chuanting knew how serious it was to rebel, but he could not ignore it for both public and private matters. Sun Chuanting was about to say something, but Zhu Cilang said again: "I naturally believe in governor Sun! There are people who rebel in the country in peace and stability. What's more, in today's chaotic times, some individuals think that it's not possible to take governors seriously."

Sun Chuanting breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had a wrong intention, and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"Liu Zeqing was dispelled by Luo Yukun; Gao Jie escaped all the way, but his foundation was not stable. These two teams must not dare to do anything randomly. As for Huang Degong, does Liu Liangzuo and Sun Duke know?"

"Huang Degong is a man with a brave and scheming man, and he is a tiger general, not a good general." Sun Chuanting said: "If he said he would rebel and rebel, I think it may not be. However, if someone deceived him with great righteousness, he would be very likely to be deceived."

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "It seems he is a reckless person."

Sun Chuanting also smiled and said, "That's right." After a pause, Sun Chuanting said, "I don't know much about Liu Liangzuo, but he is a powerful general under the command of Feng Governor, with a population of 100,000 troops. If Ma Shiying was afraid, it would be this person."

Zhu Cixuan asked, "Where is stationed now?"

"Shouxian."

Zhu Cilang stood up and said, "It's beyond the reach."

"I'm also unable to do anything," Sun Chuanting said: "Now that the Qing army occupied Beijing, Li Zicheng fled west. Our army still needs to consolidate Shandong, and things in the south may be difficult to support."

Zhu Cixuan asked again: "If someone really had a heart of great rebellion, what would he do?"

Sun Chuanting pondered for a moment: "Support the new master."

In the late Ming Dynasty, it was not easy to become a king. Only a poor and innocent thief like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong would have to do it. Even so, Li Zichengfei had hoped that there would be a court enthronement. A smooth transition would lead to him support for justice and reduce the conflicts between scholars.

Even if those generals who hold military power really want to rebel, they must consider their own weight and think about what the outcome will be if they are defeated. Consider these two aspects. Instead of raising the flag to rebel, it is better to support a puppet, which is simple and safe, and has a lot of room for maneuver. At critical moments, you can also throw it out as a scapegoat.

Zhu Ciyang lamented in his heart when he thought of the messy things in Nanming. If Nanming had not consumed his power in the internal struggle, how could the Qing Dynasty occupy this great country? Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen was still in power, and there was such a surging undercurrent.

The two were in silence, and Wu Yan walked quickly and whispered: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is coming out."

Zhu Cixuan then checked the prince's regular clothes on his body, moved his muscles under his lower body, and went over to meet him.

Chongzhen took King Ding and King Yong out of the inner palace. When he saw Zhu Cilang, he walked straight forward without saying a word. Zhu Cilang knew that the emperor's father had a grudge against him, so he had to follow him and be above the two kings. Chongzhen seemed to be able to feel a pressure coming from behind, but he regretted it in his heart: Is it because he brought his sons to the court meeting that the eldest son was so prematurely wise?

In the lobby of Laizhou Prefecture, the original yamen runners were replaced by ministers who fled here with the sage, and they were divided into two groups. With Wang Cheng'en's shout, the civil officials bowed to the ground and welcomed the sage. Chongzhen sat on the imperial throne in the middle, looked around for a while, and saw Jiang Yueguang.

Zhu Cixuan also looked at the old man, but his spirit was more about how to develop and utilize these ministers. These people who have read books have a higher understanding than those of illiterate people, not to mention that they are all Jinshi on the list and have been in the officialdom for so many years. Sometimes he really hopes that he has enough evidence to send them to the village and teach in elementary schools.

But even if he really did this, the emperor would not agree. In the eyes of the emperor, these ministers were his last team and were all loyal talents in life. How could they be easily released?

"I would like to ask Your Majesty to return to the court as soon as possible to calm people's hearts." Jiang Yueguang stepped forward and spoke.

Emperor Chongzhen was radiant and immediately asked: "The ministers of the Southern Capital are already preparing for the welcome? Should they take land or water?"

Zhu Cixuan sneered in his heart: Those who are empty talk in Nanjing still expect them to organize a large army to serve the king and welcome him? It would be great if he could not surrender in a hurry.

As expected, Jiang Yueguang's face was solidified and said, "If Your Majesty is lucky in the south, as long as you have an edict, the ministers in Nanjing will naturally focus on the matter of welcomeing the emperor."

Chongzhen's face darkened and said, "In this way, there are no soldiers and horses to welcome him."

Jiang Yueguang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Zuo Zhen has 200,000 troops, and there are 200,000 troops under the command of Feng Zhuang! If Your Majesty is lucky in the south, how could there be no soldiers?"

Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cilang. Although he was unwilling to believe that his son was holding the emperor to command the princes, he had to believe in a fact: if the crown prince did not nod, the sage would definitely not be able to leave Laizhou Prefecture.

"My Majesty, the Emperor of Father, issued an edict to the world to support the king as early as February," Zhu Cilang coughed dryly. "In March, he issued an edict to the ministers of the Nandu to welcome the emperor and guard the key pass. Now he has not even seen any soldiers and soldiers in the Southern Army. How can he announce the Nanhui? It is a last resort to take the water route. How can he be dangerous and dangerous? If he goes by land, there are no soldiers guarding, no palaces, no food and grass to help him, and there are many bandits along the way, how can he go?"

Jiang Yueguang was stunned by the crown prince's question and said, "I went north along the way, and the road surface was quite peaceful."

Zhu Cilang laughed.

At this moment, there was no need for the crown prince to say anything. The civil officials standing in the hall attacked one after another, which made Jiang Yueguang red and unable to get down. If he hadn't been healthy in body and mind, he would have been blocked and died of sudden heart.

"It's too rude." Zhu Cilang whispered, but deliberately let the emperor hear it clearly.

Chongzhen was immediately extremely disappointed with Jiang Yueguang, and felt that sitting down would be a waste of time.

"Father," Zhu Cilang suddenly said to the emperor who was about to leave, "What Jiang Yueguang said makes sense. If the father does not come to Nanjing for one day to ask about politics, the hearts of the world will be uneasy."

The hall suddenly became quiet.

"However, the road is not open and there are insufficient guards, so His Majesty the Father and Emperor cannot promptly urge him to take up the throne. My son thought that he could send a reliable eunuch to serve as the eunuch in Nanjing to coordinate the matter of welcomeing the throne." Zhu Cixuan said.

Jiang Yueguang didn't expect the crown prince to talk about his own interests. Instead, he thought about it, but he suspected that the crown prince wanted to arrange a confidant in Nanjing.
