Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 307
"Report, the winter snow in Jingyang melts, and hot springs gushes out—"

"Report, the snow-white white wolf in Lutai—"

"Report, from the river in Xianyang, a giant tortoise appeared, with ancient characters engraved on its back—"

……

In other words, officials are the most self-motivated.

In the past few days, all the auspicious signs that appear in ancient books have appeared in Xi'an Mansion, and they came in groups, which can be said to be overwhelming.

Moreover, more than [-]% of these auspicious omens are real. The white wolf, giant tortoise, Jiahe, hot spring, etc., all have real objects, and they are sent to Xi'an City one by one.

He even swaggered, wishing to beat gongs and drums, spread the word, and present himself in front of His Royal Highness King Yu.

Xi'an Prefecture is happy to see its success.

As a result, the palace of King Qin was filled with auspicious animals from all over the place, and the animals and plants were densely packed, but they couldn't starve to death, so they could only serve them well.

When Zhu Meng came to Prince Qin's mansion, he could not help but marvel at the sight of chickens flying and dogs jumping and beasts and birds everywhere:
"In almost a day, Xi'an is full of auspiciousness!"

"Who said no!"

Shisanyi was in a mess, commanding the servants to feed them from time to time, and said helplessly: "It's hard for me, I have been serving them for the past few days, and I am really too busy."

"Things that fly in the sky, things that walk on the ground, and things that swim in the water, everything that one expects to find."

Seeing Zhu Meng's smiling face, Shisan couldn't help complaining: "I'm so tired, I can't make any mistakes, or I'll be scolded by the nose."

"You kid, you are just a lively spirit. I entrust this matter to you, and it will just sharpen your temper."

Zhu Meng shook his head and said amusedly: "Your Highness gave you the name Zhu Jing, just to place high hopes on you!"

After saying that, regardless of his distressed expression, he quickened his pace and left quickly.

"Your Highness, Commander Zhu, please see me!"

Zhu Yixi was exchanging information with Sun Changzhou about the situation in Shaanxi Province. Hearing this, he couldn't help ordering: "Let him in!"

"Your Highness, Li Zicheng has already left Gongchang Mansion and went to Lintao Mansion. He reckoned that he was going to Lanzhou for the idea of ​​the Shaanxi Xingdu Division."

Sun Changzhou bent down and reported.

"Lanzhou!"

Zhu Yixi showed a slight smile: "Forget it, let him go. The northwest is barren and can't support many people. Let him take care of himself for a while."

In the Ming Dynasty, Shaanxi Province was too large, not only including Ningxia, but also most of Gansu and Qinghai. If we really pursue it, it will take a few years.

Li Zicheng, who lost his spirit and Lao Ying, was no longer a cause for concern.

"Closely monitor the three towns of Yulin, Ningxia, and Guyuan. There are a large number of military households, and the collusion between the gentry is very deep, so there can be no mistakes."

"Yes!" Sun Changzhou replied in a deep voice.

At this time, Zhu Meng also arrived in time, and the former retreated slowly, consciously.

The spies and the army do not interfere with each other.

This is his principle.

Zhu Meng didn't take it seriously, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, the public opinion is raging, and there are also undercurrents in the army. Some people even want to follow the example of the Northern Song Dynasty and wear a yellow robe with you."

"Ok?"

Zhu Yixi was surprised, and immediately dissatisfied: "How can a warrior interfere with the ownership of the throne?"

"The lessons from the four towns in Jiangbei are not far away."

"Feng Xianzong is a literati, and what he does is just a pen. You have to monitor it for me. Such rebellious ideas must be suppressed."

Because of their meritorious service in supporting Emperor Hongguang, the four towns in Jiangbei almost separated the entire Jiangbei. They were actually warlords. After witnessing it with their own eyes, Zhu Yixi also had a deeper understanding of the sudden demise of Nanming.

Civil strife was the root cause of Nanming's demise.

"The last general takes orders!"

Zhu Meng's rough voice sounded. After a long time, he hesitated, and then said:
"Your Highness, although the last general knows that these words are unpleasant, he has to say that now, now is not a good opportunity to become emperor..."

King Yu turned his head abruptly, his eyes were like torches, and they seemed to have a burning sensation, which made people tremble with fear.

Even someone like Zhu Meng felt remorse at this moment, trembling all over, as if if he made a slight move, his head would be lost.

After a long time, King Yu said: "You are right."

The young prince walked lightly and smiled from the bottom of his heart: "In the past few days, among so many people, they are all flattery and persuasion, and only you dare to tell me the truth."

"Not bad!"

Zhu Meng's tightly entangled heart fell instantly, his legs seemed to be a little limp, his clenched hands loosened, and his palms were full of sweat.

Zhu Yixi patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and said: "Proclaiming the emperor needs to be done step by step. If you go up suddenly, the foundation is not solid, and it is easy to be misunderstood with bad intentions."

In fact, Sun Changzhou came here to report that Azig did not capture Emperor Hongguang and his chief assistant Ma Shiying in Nanjing.

Moreover, near the Taiping Mansion, Emperor Hongguang and Huang Degong seemed to be spotted, which made Zhu Yixi fall into thinking.

Of course, he can also learn from Liu Bei and directly open an altar for the emperor who is thousands of miles away to mourn, but it is the question of eating.

The so-called people's will refers to the property owners, that is, the owner farmers and landlords who own the land.

"Your Highness is wise!" Zhu Meng praised.

"Don't rush!"

King Yu waved his hand and said, "At critical moments, one step cannot be wrong."

However, this request from the military has sounded the alarm for Zhu Yixi.

Although there is a military justice department, it is obvious that there is not enough monitoring of public opinion in the army.

It seems that it is time for the military to arrange an internal inspection agency.

……

At this time, Xiangyang City also received a letter from King Yu.

Zhao Shu, Yan Chongxin, and Zhang Shenyan all agreed that proclaiming the emperor must be delayed.

Regardless of the emperor's life or death, proclaiming himself emperor as soon as he learned of the emperor's disappearance can be said to be a big loss of standard and ugly.

Moreover, Man Qing was still in the south at this time, so it was not a good time to rashly provoke him.

"Jianguo, you can go ahead."

Zhao Shu said indifferently: "The original King Fu began as a supervisor of the country. His Highness's supervision of the country is a blessing for the court and the world."

Zhang Shenyan was the first to agree: "Jianguo is at the right time, it's extremely appropriate."

Yan Chongxin also nodded and said: "Nowadays, neither the imperial court nor the local government is ready to welcome the new emperor."

"In this way, I will write everyone's opinions back to His Royal Highness Yu Lan."

Zhao Shu said calmly, and immediately said something surprising.

At this moment, the faces of several people immediately fell down. If His Highness saw it, his mind would become narrow-minded, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Several people looked at each other before sighing.

The meeting adjourned.

Zhao Shu returned to the Military and Political Department, summoned Hu Cao, and could not help but order: "Prepare 300,000 silver coins, and do not embezzle any of them."

"Li Cao, go to find out all the etiquette about the emperor, and be proficient without making mistakes."

"Yes!" Several people looked confused and could only agree with each other.

In the end, Zhao Shu heaved a sigh of relief and clenched his fists: "The day is finally here..."
