Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 471 The News of Yongwang Dingwang

If it was before the Qing captives revealed their intention to steal China, some officials in the Ming Dynasty would have recognized Wu Sangui's statement of "borrowing the captives to suppress the bandits".

But since the Qing captives went south twice to destroy the great Ming country, officials with a slightly normal mind knew how ridiculous it was to say "borrow captives to suppress the bandits".

Because of this, many officials loyal to Ming Dynasty hated Wu Sangui who let the Qing captives into the customs.

Now the ministers of the Military Affairs Council know how much Aimee Zhu hates Wu Sangui, so naturally they won't intercede for Wu Sangui, a big traitor.

Therefore, it was decided that Wu Sangui would return to the Ming Dynasty to accept the reorganization unconditionally anyway.

Later, Zhu Yuxi discussed some other military issues with the ministers of military affairs, and the meeting was adjourned.

Seeing that it was already noon, Auntie Zhu saw that there was nothing urgent in the unprocessed memorials, so she was going back to the old house in Zhulin, learning modern knowledge for a while, and then having lunch.

Unexpectedly, Liu Shuying came from the apse at this time, and handed over a telegram with a very serious expression.

"Your Majesty, Zeng Junmen and Bai Xiaosheng, a thousand households of Fusi Qianhu in Zhongbei Township of the Army, jointly sent a telegram and secret report, saying that they found King Ding and King Yong in Qingzhou. May I ask how to deal with it?"

Aunt Zhu was taken aback when she heard this.

Since she took power in Chengdu, she has been sending people to search, but there is no news about Zhu Cihong, Zhu Cijiong, or Zhu Cizhao.

For a long time, she wondered whether the three brothers were still alive.

I never thought that I would suddenly get news about Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Cizhao today.

When she came back to her senses, she took the telegram from Zeng Ying and Bai Xiaosheng and looked at it.

According to the telegram, the two brothers first appeared in Yishui County, with only two guards around them.

At that time, a battalion of the Second Town of the Frontier Defense Army was repairing in Yishui County. The brothers probably heard that this team was a direct descendant of Aimee Zhu, so they went to the barracks to reveal their identities.

Although the generals of the battalion could not determine the identity of the two brothers, they knew that it was a big deal, so they sent them to Zeng Ying immediately.

But Zeng Ying couldn't tell the truth from what the two brothers said, so he could only ask some questions to make a judgment.

It turned out that Li Zicheng took the three of his brothers to a stone to fight the Guanning army and the Qing army. After the defeat, the two brothers were separated from Zhu Cihong.

Later, when the Qing captured the capital, the two brothers fled slowly to Shandong under the protection of several guards.

Because the identities of the two brothers are too sensitive, they are relatively young, and the group lacks support, so they are either bandits or bandits, or Qing captives.

So the two brothers listened to a guard's advice and first hid in Yimeng Mountain. Although there are many bandits in Yimeng Mountain, which is not a peaceful land, the danger is always less than that of the outside world.

However, because the two of them were hiding in the mountains, the information they got from the outside world was very limited.It wasn't until the past two months that they heard some rumors that "Princess Jian Guo defeated the Qing captives in Yangzhou".

After leaving Yimeng Mountain, the surrounding prefectures and counties have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and even the descendants of Kong Sheng in Qufu have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, giving people a feeling that the whole world has been occupied by the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, people in Yimeng Mountain only listened to "Princess Jianguo defeated the Qing captives in Yangzhou" as a joke, and few people believed it.

The two brothers are just young men, and they are willing to believe such news that is beneficial to Daming.But the guards protecting them were all adults, they didn't believe this at all, and naturally they wouldn't risk taking them south.

Thus, until the defeat of the Qing captives in Shandong, the Ming army took over the lost ground one after another.

The guards protecting the two brothers inquired and confirmed some news. Only after one month after Yishui County was recovered, did they find an opportunity to take the two brothers to the army...
Aimee Zhu knew that the encounters of the two brothers described in the telegram seemed simple, but there must be many dangers that were not explained.

After all, as princes, the two brothers will easily be coveted and used by various forces and ambitious people once their identities are revealed.

But Zeng Ying and Bai Xiaosheng's position is very clear.

The two first stated in the telegram that they could not judge the identity of the two brothers, and then asked Aimi Zhu how to deal with it.

That is to say, if Aimee Zhu doesn't want to meet these two people, she thinks they are fake.Zeng Ying and Bai Xiaosheng were able to secretly execute the two of them and the two accompanying guards directly in the army.

Liu Shuying was also looking at Aimee Zhu, wanting to know how Aimee Zhu planned to deal with this matter.

As for making suggestions - she knew that this kind of matter was definitely not something that a courtier could interfere with, it could only be decided by Aimee Zhu herself.

Auntie Zhu put down the telegram and said, "Let Zeng Ying and Bai Xiaosheng send people to escort them to Nanjing secretly. There must be no mistake, otherwise they will be the only ones to ask!"

"Yes."

After hearing Zhu Yu's words, Liu Shuying understood that Zhu Yu really wanted to see the "Yong Wang" and "Ding Wang", and did not hint at Zeng Ying's capsized boat or something.

Even in order to prevent Zeng Ying and Bai Xiaosheng from presuming the holy will, Zhu Wei deliberately linked the safety of "Yongwang" and "Dingwang" with Zeng Ying and Bai Xiaosheng.

Afterwards, Auntie Zhu went to the back hall in person, watched the telegram sent by the telegraph office, and then returned to the old Zhulin house.

Because Concubine Zhu came back earlier today, Hao Guangming was waiting for the chicken soup to be cooked in the kitchen, and he hadn't even cooked the dishes yet, and not even Concubine Zhu came back.

"Why did you come back so early today?" Hao Guangming said.

"I have news about my two younger brothers." Auntie Zhu answered the wrong question.

Hao Guangming was slightly stunned, and then said, "Are you sure about your identity?"

In fact, since Aimee Zhu came to the throne, some people have pretended to be King Yong and King Ding, but they were full of loopholes, and the end result was naturally arrested and questioned by the government.

Therefore, Hao Guangming thinks that it is not unusual to hear about Aimee Zhu's brother, but the key is whether it is true or not.

"I have asked Zeng Ying to send people to escort them to Nanjing." Aunt Zhu said, "As for whether it is true or not, I will not know until I have seen it. However, I have a hunch that it is probably true this time."

"If it's true, isn't it a good thing for you? How do you think you are a little worried? You don't think that King Yong and King Ding can threaten your throne now, right?"

"Of course not." Aunt Zhu rolled Hao Guangming's eyes, "I was thinking how to arrange them, so that they would not be used by people with ulterior motives, and they would not feel wronged."

"If you care about it, you will be chaotic." Hao Guangming shook his head with a smile, "You have already issued a series of new policies for vassal kings. Although King Yong and King Ding are your brothers, they are also vassal kings. He was only twelve or thirteen years old, so he could just send him to the feudal king's school to study after he came back.

In the future, you can let them choose for themselves—if they choose to stay in the country, you will reward them with some money from your own money, so that they can live well enough.

If they choose to go overseas to become a vassal, then find them a good fief and find a group of capable men to assist them. "

After hearing Hao Guangming's words, Auntie Zhu found that she was really concerned about chaos.

It is impossible for her throne to be given to King Yong and King Ding. If she agrees, the civil and military ministers of the court will not agree, so the two can only become vassal kings.

Since he is a vassal king, of course he has to be arranged according to the new policy of the vassal king.

If she disregarded the feudal lord's new policy, how could other feudal lords, county kings and clans be convinced?

If the later emperor of the Ming Dynasty followed suit, the New Deal of the vassal king would become a joke.

Thinking of this, Auntie Zhu finally showed a relaxed look, and said, "My husband is right. I know what to do."

···
Auntie Zhu was thinking about how to arrange for her two younger brothers, but she didn't know that, far away in Shandong, some people were more worried and annoyed by this matter than she was.
