One hundred and thirty-seven times
His passionate words were about to come out, which immediately made many military officers excited. They did not have much Confucianism or the principles of a king and a father in their hearts, but they led troops to fight with their hatred against the Manchus. They heard Zhang Chun's words in their ears. Zu Dabi glared at his elders and shouted: "My ancestor is the first to follow you. Brother, if you are afraid of death, then go to peace with the enemy soldiers!" Zu Dashou frowned and said: "I am naturally not afraid of death. But if we are too tough and really harm Your Majesty's life, wouldn't we become a sinner for eternity?"
Wen Tiren had never spoken, and suddenly interrupted, "General Zu is such a bad word. If Your Majesty knew that we had to do it to ensure the peace of the country, we would be extremely pleased. How could we blame it?" Among the civil servants present, half of them were Wen Tiren's forces. His words were agreed with him, and there was a sound of echoing. Only Liang Tingdong was as timid as a mouse, afraid that he would knock out his black veil, but hesitated and refused to express his opinion.
Huan Zhen was confused by him. How could Wen Tiren be so active in putting Chongzhen to death? Could it be that his current status was obtained by relying on Chongzhen's credit? When the big tree of Chongzhen fell, how long could his vine last? I just felt that this person was becoming more and more elusive. Compared with him, Zhou Yanru was really just a scheming young man.
But since everyone agreed, they hit their own wishes. Tomorrow, Chongzhen will inevitably die and the world will be purified. But the prince is also in the palace now. Once Chongzhen dies, how can the prince be spared? In the end, it will still give King Fu a cheaper position. This situation is like a wolf in the front door and a tiger in the back door. Although Huan Zhen is deeply unwilling to see him, there is indeed no better choice in the current situation.
After the meeting ended, Huan Zhen began to deploy the siege tomorrow, and wanted to attack Huang Taiji by surprise. He was injured for a long time and was busy for a long time. He felt that he was not as good as the energy, so he went back to sleep. However, when he returned to his barracks and lay down, he heard a noise outside. He was in a bad mood and his chest hurt again. He became irritated and called a personal soldier to ask who was making noise here and was preparing to hit him with a hundred military sticks.
The personal soldier shook his head and said, "He is a madman, I have to see the Lord General." Huan Zhen was surprised and ordered the man to come and see him. After a while, a man followed the personal soldier in. Seeing Huan Zhen leaning on the bed, he was slightly stunned and said carelessly: "Are you Huan Zhen?"
Huan Zhen saw that he was arrogant and unceremonious. Although he didn't care about the red tape of the officialdom, he was quite unhappy and suppressed his anger and said, "Yes, it's just me. Can you ask who you are, what do you think?"
The man raised his head and smiled, "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who my sister is." Huan Zhen said patiently, "Then who is Ling Mei?" The man glanced at him, shut up and said without saying a word. Huan Zhen understood his meaning, and immediately told him to retreat, and he was not allowed to summon him or her.
The man came up and attached himself to Huan Zhen's ear and said, "My sister is the current queen Zhou." Huan Zhen was shocked and remembered that he had indeed claimed to be his uncle just now, but he had some plans to do it when he came here. For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with it.
The man seemed quite satisfied with Huan Zhen's reaction and smiled and said, "My father was sent down to ask General Huan to come over to the mansion." Huan Zhen was stunned and looked at him for a long time. He turned a hundred circles in his heart, not knowing whether to go or not.
The father of Empress Zhou was Zhou Kui, the Marquis of Jiading. The Ming Dynasty strictly prohibited foreign relatives from interfering in politics, and he had no contact with them. Zhou Kui invited him at this time, but he didn't know what was going on. He thought about it and did not want to go now. However, if he didn't go, he always had a worry. He thought about it and said, "The military affairs are busy, and Huan cannot leave for a moment. If he has any teachings, please condescend to the bottom." After that, he called his personal soldiers in and made a gesture of "sending off guests".
The man wanted to speak, but pushed it out. Huan Zhen then remembered that he had not asked his name yet, but he must have no doubt that his surname was Zhou. It was already four times, and there was another update, so he had to launch a general attack. He had to hurry up and take a good rest for a while. But he just fell asleep, but his guard came to report that someone asked for a meeting outside the door. Huan Zhen sighed, thinking that he was a royal relative, and he was afraid he would not have to sleep tonight.
The person who came was Zhou Kui himself. During the Ming Dynasty, Duke and Marquis were still before the officials of the six ministries. Huan Zhen had seen him many times. Although he had no close friends, he clearly recognized that he was the Marquis of Jiading. He was shocked when he came. The emperor's father-in-law actually came to see him. It was obvious that it was not a trivial matter, so he quickly woke up and greeted him.
Zhou Kui was much more polite than his son. After reporting to his family, he apologized for his son. Huan Zhen told him a few words and asked him directly why he came. Zhou Kui looked around and hesitated. Huan Zhen thought to himself why the Zhou family was all sneaky, so he kept his left and right away as usual, and asked him again.
Zhou Kui said, "The little marquis is here, and I have something to ask Lord Huan." Huan Zhen nodded, but heard him say, "Maybe, who should succeed to the throne if the king dies?" Huan Zhen replied casually, "It is common sense for the father to die, and the son to succeed, and the brother to succeed to the brother to the end." Zhou Kui looked strange and asked, "What if I say a very disrespectful word, what if I am going to ride a crane now?" Huan Zhen's heart was thrilled and stared at him without saying a word. Zhou Kui smiled and said, "Sir, don't hide it from me. I know that Your Majesty has fallen into the palace. Now you are troubled."
Seeing that he knew, Huan Zhen simply smiled and said, "The Marquis's news is well-informed." Zhou Kui bowed and said, "How dare, how dare? The little marquis is just strange. Since you have agreed to attack the city in the Ming Dynasty, you will have no eyes when the war is gone. If the lives of Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are injured, who will inherit the throne?" Huan Zhen sneered, "That's not something that Huan can interfere with." The implication is not something that you, a mere Marquis of Jiading, can be interfered with.
Zhou Kui was not angry and said with a thick face, "If the prince is here, it will naturally be in accordance with the law of nature." Huan Zhen heard his words become more and more strange, so he asked, "The Marquis might as well make it clear and say it straightforward. Huan doesn't like to beat around the bush, let alone there is military affairs at the moment, so he really has no time to chat with the Marquis." Zhou Kui laughed and said, "General Huan is a happy man, so the little Marquis will not be seen." As he said that, he took out something and held it in front of Huan Zhen.
Huan Zhen looked down and looked carefully. It was a yellow satin belly with a golden dragon embroidered on it. He didn't know what to do, looked up at Zhou Kui, and waited for him to say something.
Zhou Kui said in a low voice: "This is the quilt of the grandson of the little marquis." Huan Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that his grandson was Zhu Cixuan. He was the queen's biological father and the prince's grandfather. It was not too outrageous to have such things in his home, and it was nothing to be surprised. But his following sentence made Huan Zhen shocked: "A few days ago, the queen had already sent the prince to the little marquis' home to reincarnate."
For a moment, Huan Zhen really suspected that something had happened to his ears, or that the old man had a problem with his head. But when he looked at him carefully, he clearly didn't look confused. Could it be that the prince had already left the palace and hid in his house? But how could that be possible?
Seeing Huan Zhen’s half-believing and half-doubtedness, Zhou Kui knew that he was still worried, and immediately said, “The Empress knew that Your Majesty was planning to make a southern tour, thinking that the journey of the little prince was too dangerous, but if he wanted to leave him in the palace, His Majesty would not agree, so he had already ordered the eunuch to send him to the little marquis’ house for foster care.”
Huan Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't believe it. The huge prince suddenly disappeared. How can Your Majesty not realize it? Can you bear the crime of deceiving the king?" Zhou Kui smiled and said, "Your Majesty is worried about national affairs all day long and is exhausted. He has never seen the prince for more than a decade. Besides, the Empress has given up her, and even if His Majesty is angry, he will never tell where the prince is. After all, they are a couple in distress. When the soldiers retreat, they will carry the prince back to the palace and say a few good words, and then they will be a good family again. What is the crime?"
Huan Zhen still felt unbelievable when he said this. Don’t say that the world does not have such a father, even the courage of Queen Zhou is beyond the reach of others. But did Chongzhen not think of coming to Zhou Kui’s house to search? Zhou Kui said that he would keep the prince in a secret villa, and even his wife didn’t know. Don’t talk about others.
After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, he said with a faint expression: "Since the prince is Your Majesty's dragon vein, he should naturally succeed the throne. Since the prince has not fallen, the marquis should report to you all, asking them to work together to support the saint, how can we argue with Huan Zhen and a martial artist?" Zhou Kui laughed and said: "Don't pretend to be confused. Master Huan is well-versed. Do you know that the saint has always been a mediocre minister?" Huan Zhen's heart moved, "The saint has many mediocre ministers" just came to his heart. But in front of Zhou Kui, he did not want to be moved at all, and still said coldly: "Mr. Huan just kill me."
Tartars, there was no need to care about the affairs of the court." Zhou Kui encountered a big nail and was not angry. He said with a slight slightest saying, "Yes, yes. Lord Huan abides by the court. The little Marquis admired him very much. However, Master Huan did not remember Xiong Tingbi?" Xiong Tingbi was the early Liaodong governor, and was a general who was accustomed to the civil and military affairs. He defeated the Tartars on the frontier, but he had no aid in the court. He angered Wei Zhongxian for some accidents, so he was unjustly killed and passed on to the nine borders. Huan Zhen usually heard many stories about Liaodong veterans, so he naturally knew about these things. It seems that Zhou Kui was determined to pull himself into doing things today?
Thinking carefully, I realized that there was always something strange. I suddenly asked, "But now you come to find me, what's the matter?" Zhou Kui smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Huan also praised the little marquis for being a good person. You guys want to be Yu Qian, how can you not know?" Huan Zhen understood immediately that once Chongzhen died, fighting for the great throne would become a first-class major event. Not to mention the marquis of Fu, the next marquis will not be moved.
Jing. If someone comes to fight for the throne on the grounds that the country is in danger and needs to be appointed as the eldest prince, the person who supports the young prince ascended the throne will be the heroes of Celiu, and there will be countless benefits from it. However, if the matter is defeated, there is no need to say that there is no place to die. Zhou Kui knew that he could do such a big thing alone, so he had to use Huan Zhen and other generals with real power to win him over. This is exactly the same as the actions done by King Fu, and it is no different.
However, should I agree with him? Huan Zhen secretly thought in his heart that King Fu is rich and powerful, but his bloodline is not as superior as Zhu Cixuan, who is born to Chongzhen. From this point of view, it seems that he still cooperates with Zhou Kui to insurance. But now I don’t know which forces King Fu has won be won be able to compete with him with his own strength? At this moment, you must be careful every step and not make any mistakes. Let’s explain that the Japanese attack on the city, Chongzhen said that
