Chapter 259
Seeing the unexpected reinforcements arriving ahead of schedule, Liang Yizhang naturally danced and clamored for joy, which seemed like madness.

But those few thousand bosses didn't think there was anything wrong with Liang Yizhang's actions.

After all, Liang Yizhang gambled his whole family's life on this one, betting on defending Shangqiu to the death.Who can survive and become a loyal minister and hero, who will not be ecstatic, and who can live will want to die.

On the contrary, the general managers felt that this was the true temperament of the Futai adults, and their attitude towards him suddenly turned 180 degrees, and they were full of compliments.

One of the chief executives, returned the righteous words and turned his back on his sins with tears and tears: "Master Futai is lucky! Keeping the soldiers and civilians in Shangqiu safe is all thanks to your lord! We were all bewitched by Song Shoubei and fooled by lard before!"

"Master Futai, you don't know! It was Song Quan who took the initiative to call us and told us about the despicable style of the bandits that 'if they break the city after encountering stubborn resistance, they will massacre the city', otherwise we wouldn't be afraid!
This Song Quan is simply deliberately trying to shake the morale of the army!As long as you say a word, Mr. Futai, we will immediately arrest that dog breeder Song Quan! "

It was only at this time that Liang Yizhang fully confirmed the inside story, and sneered coldly: "There is such a thing? Then Song Quan is considered to be collaborating with the enemy and treason on his own initiative! He still hasn't taken it!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Song Quan's fate. After getting off the tower, he frantically rode his horse back to the magistrate's yamen to announce the good news to His Royal Highness Lu Wang, saying that the rescuers from Shenfutai had arrived.

And several Qianzong had to order, in order to wash away the guilt that they had wavered, of course they ran like wolves and tigers to the west city gate tower where Song Shoubing was located.

Everyone had a tacit understanding and never leaked any news along the way until they rushed in front of Song Quan. Song Quan didn't know what happened, but he was easily taken down.

……

While the officials and soldiers at the top of the city cheered for the arrival of reinforcements,

In a clean courtyard next to the magistrate's yamen, at this moment, a group of dude clans are restless there.

There is no other reason, just because they don't know the vague movement outside, what happened.

In the yard, a middle-aged man who was slightly older than King Lu was pacing back and forth, gnashing his teeth irritably:

"Why is there such a big commotion? Why is there such a big commotion? Could it be that the thieves are attacking with all their strength again? Uncle Wang, if you had listened to me earlier, we would have thrown everything away and continued to flee south, even going directly to Fengyang. It's not that much anymore."

This person is Zhu Yousong, the king of succession, who is said to be Zhu Changhao's nephew, but is actually one year older than his uncle.He had more experience in escaping than Zhu Changhao, so he started to get scared when he vaguely heard the sound of guns and guns.

In the original history, when Zhu Yousong was defeated in Luoyang and Huaiqing successively, he also went to seek shelter from his uncle, and then King Lu, King Fu, King Zhou, and King Zhao went south together.

The only difference now is that King Zhou has not had an accident and is still besieged in Kaifeng City. All other Henan kings who survived basically fled and gathered all the way, and were not affected by the butterfly effect.

Zhu Changhao was robbed by his nephew, and he should have shown the dignity of an elder, but at the moment what his nephew said seemed more reasonable, so he couldn't help but weaken his momentum, and just explained:
"Is it because I am reluctant to part with my belongings? This is because I am worried that there will be insufficient guards, and the army will not be able to go to Fengyang mansion. What's more, the vassal king will not be able to enter the three capitals without a call. Not only can he not go to Nanjing and Beijing, but even Fengyang, the central capital, may be blocked by others. For impeachment, what's wrong with being cautious?

Besides, Fengyang must be safer than this Shangqiu?Back then, who knew that the bandits would come here so quickly, I just waited and watched..."

Zhu Changhao felt that his decision-making was okay. He was most afraid of being reprimanded by such a cruel and resolute nephew emperor as Chongzhen. Even when he was running for his life, he was still worried about the court's law.

The vassal king cannot enter the capital casually, or even approach the capital casually!This system of the Ming Dynasty not only targeted Beijing, but also included Nanjing and Zhongdu.

Especially at the end of Chongzhen's 15th year, this kind of thing is even more sensitive.

Because if one day Beijing falls, the other two capitals of Ming Dynasty may go directly to the top at any time and become the actual administrative capital.

If at that time, a certain vassal king was in Fengyang City or Nanjing City, wouldn't it be possible for him to be supported by the ministers nearby?
Such suspicions, timid and fearful people must hide as far away as possible, otherwise they will cause a commotion, or in the future Chongzhen will take a break and come to liquidate after autumn, wouldn't it be a big loss?

"The fire is imminent, impeachment is impeachment, life matters!" Zhu Yousong couldn't help but get angry, the fear of death made him ignore the courtesy to his uncle, and secretly hated his cowardice and incompetence.

If he could decide for himself, let alone go to Fengyang, so what if he fled to Nanjing?
The world is like this, wealth and wealth are in danger!If something happens to his imperial brother and nephews... Tsk tsk, the rich and powerful are right in front of us!

Even if the bet is wrong, the worst is death.Compared with other uncles and brothers, Zhu Yousong is quite willing to gamble his life.

It's a pity that he is now dependent on others.The guards of the palace are all Tang Shu's, and Tang Shu asked for stability before, and he couldn't command those people even if he wanted to bet.
In the end, I fell into this field, standing under a dangerous wall, I hate it.

……

During the quarrel between the two, Zhu Changhao quickly lost his momentum because of his weakness, which also alarmed more and more maids, and everyone was in a hurry.

Fortunately, there are still people who understand and know that they shouldn't quarrel at this time, so a little girl finally jumped out to persuade them to fight.

She is fourteen or fifteen years old, bright and pure, graceful and graceful, making one forget the vulgarity.I just listened to her protecting Zhu Changxiao and saying to Zhu Yousong:

"Brother Fu! If my father hadn't taken you in, you would have died in Huaiqing. You don't know how to repay kindness, and you still want to find fault with your nephew? You think my father and... are also greedy for money What about people?

He was afraid that there would be too many female relatives, and there would be a mistake on the journey of thousands of miles.If you just run for your life and leave your mother and wife behind, are you still a man? "

The little girl originally wanted to say, "You think my father is as greedy as your father, but in the end he was killed by Li Zicheng, and the family property was still divided."
But after thinking about it, after all, Old Fu Wang is also her uncle, if she also violates dignity by baseness, no matter how big or small, she will have no position to persuade a fight.And the dead are the most important, no matter how greedy the old Fu Wang was in the past, he is dead, so let's accumulate some virtue.

"You..." But Zhu Yousong still couldn't help being furious. He was refuted by his cousin. Although the other party didn't finish what he said, he could fully hear the implication. The cousin tore it apart.

It turned out that this little girl was Zhu Changhao's only daughter, Zhu Yuchan, the little princess of the Prince Lu's Mansion.

Zhu Changhao is only 34 years old this year, but his body is weak and sycophant, so the energy of men and women is not enough. Occasionally favoring concubines and concubines, most of them need the other party to serve them and move by themselves.

More than ten years ago, when Zhu Changhao was just 20 years old, it was still a short period of time, and he left behind a daughter who grew up to adulthood.It's a pity that she was too lustful and demanded too much, and her body quickly collapsed.

At that time, other concubines and concubines were also pregnant, but the other two daughters died in infancy.And the son was not even born alive, at most he was not kept, and when he was born, he was stillborn.

This kind of death rate is not surprising, and it is not a joke, because the health of the royal family in the late Ming Dynasty was already very problematic.

For example, Zhu Changhao's cousin, Guangzong Zhu Changluo, gave birth to seven sons and only two survived, and ten daughters only survived three, and the death rate exceeded [-]%.

Otherwise, it would not be the turn of Tianqi and Chongzhen to become emperors. Guangzong himself died suddenly after only being emperor for a month, and Tianqi also died at a young age in his 20s.

Starting from Longqing and Wanli, the feudal lords who were in poor health were the mainstream.

Zhu Changhao's current temperament is cowardly, and most of it has something to do with his family situation, because he has no son, so he has no ambition to fight for many things, just live in harmony.

If he really won something great, he doesn't have a son to pass it on to, so what's the point of fighting for it?
He also knew that it was almost impossible for his body to give birth to a son, so he became more and more vegetarian, playing music or appreciating antiques and bronzes every day. Over time, he felt that this was very chic and refreshing.

At this moment, his nephew Zhu Yousong and his daughter Zhu Yuchan had a quarrel, and Zhu Changhao also had a headache. After persuasion for a long time, the quarrel became more and more chaotic.He only felt that his heart was throbbing, and he just wanted to take a breath, and a sense of powerlessness also emerged spontaneously.

Fortunately, at the moment when he was extremely depressed, a piece of good news finally came down like rain after a long drought.

"Your Highness! Your Highness King Lu! Good news! Great joy!" There was a lot of noise outside the courtyard, and the sound of horseshoes approaching quickly from far away. After a few steps into the courtyard, the voice of Liang Yizhang, the prefect of Guide, could be vaguely heard.

Zhu Changhao was depressed for a while: Didn't you agree to keep it a secret, so that no one would know your existence?It's only been a few days, and this guy forgot to keep his mouth shut?

Feeling resentful, he ran to the gate of the courtyard and ordered Liang Yizhang to silence himself.But just now, he had a headache from the quarrel, and now he was anxious, and his eyes almost went dark.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuchan had sharp eyesight and quick hands, so she hurriedly stepped forward to support her father, and then turned around and scolded the maids: "Are you all blind? Hurry up and help her!"

The maids who were afraid of harming Chi Yu just now hurried up to take it.

After a while of busy work, Liang Yizhang had already passed the two entrance gates.

Zhu Yuchan knew that men and women were different, so she should have avoided it, but she was afraid that her father would be excited, so she could only wink and asked one of the maids to bring the veil and veil that were always on hand.

Just after putting it on, Liang Yizhang had already appeared in the Chuhuamen, and Zhu Yuchan ignored Yuezu as a substitute, and calmly asked, "Prefect Liang! My father and king have repeatedly asked you to keep our whereabouts secret, why are you so reckless and yelling as soon as you enter the courtyard!"

Liang Yizhang was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he was too excited. In order to apologize, he had no choice but to kneel down and salute first: "His Royal Highness, Princess Lu, please forgive me! I am just excited for a while, and there is no malice.

The next official was about to teach the prince that there was no need to keep his whereabouts secret anymore. Yuan Zongdi, a burglar outside the city, had been broken into one side of the camp by the imperial reinforcements!It was Shen Shuren, governor of Huguang, who was ordered by His Majesty to go north to Henan to meet the intruders!

Huang Degong, the chief soldier under his command, and Zhu Wenzhen, the general, have already killed Shangqiu!At least ten thousand cavalry!With the protection of such a heroic army, the king and the king of Fu will surely be able to withdraw safely! "

When Zhu Changhao heard it, his expression brightened in an instant. He was shocked at first and couldn't believe it, and then he was ecstatic: "The imperial court has [-] cavalry to rescue? And broke the siege? There is no unparalleled road! Hurry up, go back and copy three more volumes for Gu Lotus Sutra! Heaven bless you!"

"Is it Huang Degong and Huang Chuangzi's cavalry? That must be very elite! I said two months ago that I should go to Anlu via Fengyang and rest in Huang Chuangzi's defense area, and I will be safe and sound! Uncle Wang, early You don’t have to take these detours if you listen to me!”

Fu Wang Zhu Yousong also exclaimed in surprise, although there was still some complaints, but it was obviously not as irritating as it was at the beginning.

Anyway, the problem has been solved. After all, Tang Shu took him in for two months, so he should be grateful to Dade.

Liang Yizhang waited for their initial surprise to calm down before continuing: "The officials have sent people to negotiate with Mr. Huang in the city, and they have also accidentally learned that His Highness is waiting in the city. If His Highness wants to break through, please move." , comfort Huang Zongzhen, and personally give him an order."

Zhu Changhao nodded again and again: "It should, it should, if Gu and his nephews can escape, they must report to His Majesty the honor of the Battle of Shangqiu in detail. You are commendable for your loyalty in the Liangfutai, and naturally you should be rewarded.

Generals Huang Zongbing and Zhu Cang are loyal to the country and forget their lives. They must be reused in this difficult time.Please Liang Futai quickly lead the way, and go to meet the generals alone! "
