Chapter 707 Return to Wuchang

Zhu Hongsan sneered in his heart when he saw Du Yinxi's hesitation. These stinky old ninths were like women. After being raped by force, they were willing to do so. They insisted on losing face. It's fine! Who said that I'm short of people now? Let's give him a step forward!

Zhu Hongsan nodded to Li Chengen, and Li Chengen opened the imperial edict in his hand and said, "For the heavens, the emperor said: Use Du Yinxi as the governor of Sichuan, control all the secret spies in Zhou Yumen and Jinyiwei in Sichuan, and give them the right to act cheaply! I respect this!"

Other positions are easy to say, and the governor was only transferred to the level, but this "cheap act" was rare. In the military system of the Ming Dynasty, only the governor gave the emperor the right to "cheap act" when he left the capital to control the local area. This was a right that only the emperor's confidant could obtain.

After reading, Li Chengen saw Du Yinxi stunned, and without saying anything, he pushed the imperial edict into Du Yinxi's arms.

Du Yinxi didn't know what to do for a moment, and it was not a bad ceremony to hold the imperial edict or a bad ceremony.

Zhu Hongsan said directly, "Du Yinxi, I have appointed you as the governor of Sichuan, not to deal with Sichuan warlords, but to monitor He Tengjiao!"

When Du Yinxi heard the emperor say this, he blurted out and asked, "Your Majesty, did you find that He Tengjiao has the intention of being disobedient?"

Zhu Hongsan nodded: "Yes! He Tengjiao is greedy for profit and forgets righteousness and is fickle. Although he surrenders to me now, I guess he still doesn't give up. But now I am going to return to the capital to prepare for the Northern Expedition, and Sichuan is really unable to intervene, so the situation in Sichuan is going to ask Lord Du!"

Du Yinxi was originally incompatible with He Tengjiao. He Tengjiao's allies in the Yongli court were Qu Shixi and Lu Daqi. Du Yinxi, as the chief assistant Ding Kuichu, was of course bullied by He Tengjiao. Now, when he heard the emperor ask him to monitor He Tengjiao, Du Yinxi couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"Your Majesty, He Tengjiao has more than 200,000 troops under his command. I am afraid that I will not be able to control him!"

"Don't worry, Zhou Yu's army has a total of 30,000 troops, which is enough to deal with He Tengjiao. What's more, don't you have a good relationship with Li Chixin? Li Chixin can also protect you at the critical moment!"

Du Yinxi didn't expect that the emperor knew He Tengjiao's subordinates so carefully, so he quickly bowed to answer the order.

"Your Majesty, I am just a surrendered minister. I was insulted by Your Majesty just now. Why can Your Majesty be honest with me and grant me the most important power?"

"Sir Du, you know that I don't study. I only know that being good to the people is a good official. You dared to insult me ​​just now for the sake of the people of Changsha. You should be a good official, so I decided to use you more!"

Du Yinxi felt very comfortable when he heard the emperor say this. Although he hated Zhu Hongsan, no matter what, Zhu Hongsan has become the actual and only King of Ming Dynasty. So when he heard the emperor say that he was a good official, Du Yinxi was still a little proud.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. When I go to Sichuan, I will monitor He Tengjiao, and sweep Sichuan, and give Your Majesty a safe land of Shu!" After Du Yinxi said that, he bent down and prepared to enter Sichuan with He Tengjiao.

After watching Du Yinxi go out, Zhu Hongsan said to Yao Qisheng beside him: "Xizhi, do you find that these surrendered ministers are the same as who are?"

Yao Qisheng didn't know what the emperor said, so he quickly bowed and asked, "I don't know!"

"These guys are just like the raped women. They are feeling well, but they still insist on saying that you get my body but not my heart! Damn, I just want your body, what do you want your heart? Should I live with a baby?"

Yao Qisheng heard the emperor's vulgarity, but when he thought it was really the case, Yao Qisheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty's metaphor is very appropriate!"

Zhu Hongsan was exhausted after a day of traveling. Now that the matter is over, he has a few jokes with Yao Qisheng and then has a rest.

The next day, He Tengjiao left the city to see him off. He Tengjiao didn't sleep well after learning that the emperor had enabled Du Yinxi and went to Sichuan. Now He Tengjiao found that the emperor's kindness was unpredictable. Du Yinxi and Li Chixin in Zhongzhen Camp were in good faith. Now he followed him into Sichuan and immediately divided half of his strength. Now He Tengjiao regretted it. It would be better to secretly kill Du Yinxi in prison at that time, which would leave such a disaster.

But now there is nothing to do. The emperor ordered the emperor to entrust him. After Du Yinxi was released from prison, he hid in the loyal camp immediately, and he had no choice but to do anything to him.

After Zhu Hongsan left Changsha, he went directly to Yueyang. Now the entire Yangtze River is under the control of Zhu Hongsan's navy, so Zhu Hongsan is preparing to board the ship to Wuchang here.

Zhu Hongsan finally returned to his hometown of Wuchang on the first day of October, but it was not Wuchang County, but Wuchang Prefecture City. Zhu Hongsan's hometown, Wuchang County, is still ten miles away from Wuchang Prefecture City, which is Jiangxia District of Wuchang in later generations.

On the wharf, Huguang Governor Liu Silai, led more than 100 officials from all over Wuchang, standing on the wharf to welcome Emperor Shenwu.

Liu Silai had never seen the emperor himself before. When he was living in his hometown in Nanchang, he happened to meet Jin Shenghuan, so he went to join his mentor Jiang Yueguang. At that time, Liu Silai thought that he would repay the king with his death, which would be better than living with a rat-tailed braid with money. But he did not expect that Zhu Hongsan would emerge and wipe out more than 200,000 Qing army troops outside Nanchang City. Liu Silai made contributions and became the governor of Jiangxi. Later, he became the governor of Huguang Yu Yinggui and transferred to Yangzhou, and Liu Silai took over as the governor of Huguang.

In the past, Liu Silai was born in Qingliu and did not look down on Zhu Hongsan, who was born in a hooligan. But there was no way at that time. Zhu Hongsan was strong, and his teacher Jiang Yueguang defected to Zhu Hongsan early, so Liu Silai naturally joined Zhu Hongsan's revolutionary team. Liu Silai's impression of Zhu Hongsan was changed when Jier Harang, the Prince of the Qing Dynasty, led his troops to approach Wuchang two years ago. The situation was urgent at that time. There were only 15,000 troops in Wuchang City. In addition, the Shanghai Army was destroyed, it was absolutely impossible to defend Wuchang. Liu Silai judged the situation and made the most correct decision at that time, abandoned Wuchang and retreated to Jiujiang.

Liu Silai's decision was definitely the most correct at that time, but that's how it was. Some people could pick out bones for you in their eggs. When they evacuated Wuchang, some royal family members said that Liu Silai wanted to look good. In addition, the then governor of Jiangxi Zhang Jiayu and Liu Silai were not in the way and put on small shoes in front of the emperor. Liu Silai had already made plans to follow the Jinyiwei to go to the imperial prison, so when he arrived in Jiujiang, he handed over the military affairs to Ma Kun and the government affairs to the governor Xia Yunyi, and hid in the room and waited for death.

But to Liu Silai's surprise, the emperor did not punish him, but praised him for his correctness in abandoning Wuchang, and demoted the villain Zhang Jiayu to Jiujiang as the prefect and handed it over to Liu Silai to vent his anger. After receiving the imperial edict, Liu Silai discovered that Zhu Hongsan could become a warlord occupying half of China, but Zhu Hongsan was really charming. Until now, Liu Silai was really convinced by this gangster emperor orally admired.

When Liu Silai saw a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe coming down from the boat, it should be the Emperor Zhu Hongsan, so he hurried forward to salute: "I am the governor of Huguang, Liu Silai, long live my visit to my emperor!"

Zhu Hongsan quickly stepped forward and helped Liu Silai up, looked at it carefully and said, "You are Liu Silai? Let me take a good look. You are very brave and dare to lose my hometown. Do you know how many people wrote to me to kill you?"

After hearing what the emperor said, Liu Silai's face turned red and quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake: "I know that I should not lose Your Majesty's Dragon Xing Land without resistance. Please punish me!"

"Liu Silai, don't worry! I am not the confused Chongzhen, and I won't even kill innocent people by listening to some people's slander. I know that there are only 15,000 people in Wuchang, and the navy is still wiped out in Yueyang! Staying here at such dangerous moments is a bad idea! As for other people who say bad things about you, don't worry, I have already punished them for you!"

Liu Silai knew who the emperor was talking about, Zhang Jiayu, the prefect of Jiujiang behind him. Half a month ago, Zhang Jiayu also received news that the emperor was going to Wuchang, so he quickly took a boat from Jiujiang to Wuchang, saying that he wanted to pay homage to the emperor.

Liu Silai is not a good person. Zhang Jiayu was troubled by him in the past two years. When Jiujiang besieged the city, Liu Silai forced Zhang Jiayu to go to the city to fight in person and almost died in Jiujiang.

Zhang Jiayu, a prefect, finally squeezed into the front and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, my Lord Zhang Jiayu pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Hongsan waved his hand and asked Zhang Jiayu in and asked, "Yuanzi, how about it? How can you do it under Governor Liu's command?"

Liu Silai was right in front of him. Zhang Jiayu dared to say he was unhappy and quickly said, "Your Majesty, I am happy! I know that I am wrong. I should not slander Governor Liu. Please punish him!" Zhang Jiayu meant that he was a governor and was exiled to be a prefect. It is almost the same now! Why do you say that you are also the emperor and your confidant, and you have to fight a dog depends on the owner. Should you be restored to your post now?

But Zhu Hongsan ignored Zhang Jiayu, but saw his son, King Qin Zhu Jiang.

Zhu Jiang has grown very tall after not seeing him for a few years, 1.75 meters tall, and his body is much stronger. When he sees his whole body is full of heroism.

Zhu Hongsan likes this son the most. Now that he saw his son’s promising future, he happily stepped forward and patted Zhu Jiang on the shoulder: "Good boy, it seems that the Japanese expedition is doing well!"

Zhu Jiang hadn't seen his father for many years, so he quickly knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "My son is paying homage to my father! My father has not seen him for several years, has he lost a lot. Isn't he eating well in Guizhou?"

Zhu Hongsan was also moved to see his son's true love revealing, and pulled Zhu Jiang up and said, "Silly kid, isn't I working hard on the front line for you guys?"

Liu Silai on Zhu Hong’s three sides frowned when he heard the emperor say this. What does the emperor mean? Does the emperor intend to change the prince? This is absolutely not possible! Liu Silai is deeply educated by Confucianism and is talking about establishing a legitimate leader. Can he watch the emperor change the prince and not stand up and speak?
