The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 827 Several joys and sorrows

With a heavy heart, Zhou Hou has no interest in dressing up, and is still leaning on the quilt in a daze.

It is most appropriate to describe her state at this time with "fancy in the sun, warblers wearing willow belts, lying under a fragrant quilt. Warm and crisp, tired of clouds, tired of combing all day long."

It is inevitable to think a lot when encountering changes. Zhou Hou thinks that marrying her daughter to Nan Wang is really a blessing in misfortune. If she, the prince and the princess do not leave the capital, what kind of disaster will she face?

The female official's announcement interrupted Queen Zhou's wild thoughts, and her daughter was not an outsider, so she sent it directly.

Kun Xing came to his mother happily and said: "Mother, great joy, my lord has received a report confirming that the Duke of England is protecting his elder brother to break through the siege of bandits and retreat to Tianjin Acropolis which is heavily fortified by the 'Nanming' army. My elder brother's safety is guaranteed." It is possible that they have already gone to Huangjiawan Island to wait for us."

This is really great news. Empress Zhou sat up and clasped her hands together and said: "Thank you Bodhisattva for blessing, thank you Mantian God Buddha, thank you ancestors, Namo Amitabha..."

Zhou Hou has been worrying about her heart these days. In fact, she is more concerned about her son. A mother's love is always selfless and great. When she learned that her son was not harmed by a thief, Zhou Hou was a little excited and incoherent.

Kun Xing sat next to his mother, held her hand and asked tentatively: "Mother, elder brother is the prince of Ming Dynasty, what are you going to do?

"Sigh! As a woman, I don't have any plans. Whether the crown prince can do anything depends not on him, but on Nan Wang's attitude. Now that the Ming Dynasty has been ruined and its family is ruined, only Nan Wang can turn things around."

Kun Xing nodded and said, "My mother is right. The Great Ming Mountains and Rivers are shattered. The King of the South will send his troops to wipe out the intruders and take back the capital to take control of the Central Plains. At that time, does the mother expect her brother to succeed the emperor?"

Zhou Hou shook his head and said: "The country is ruined and the family is destroyed. It's lucky that Lang'er escaped from death. Mother doesn't want him to be emperor, but just wants him to live a peaceful life. Whether or not it will depend on Nan Wang's attitude."

Mother's attitude was expected by Kun Xing, she simply picked up the topic and said: "Mother, there are so many civil servants and military generals in the 'Nanming', and they are not reconciled to the prince defending Daming everywhere.

Now they have collectively written a letter to invite the prince to ascend the throne and achieve the emperor's career.The prince's accession to the throne is not only the emperor of the 'South Ming', but also the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. What does the mother think her daughter should do? "

The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of flesh, and Zhou Hou is most worried about fighting with the same room. Besides, the prince has no foundation to become the new emperor of the Ming Empire, so of course he must let nature take its course and let his son-in-law become the emperor.

She said: "My son, you are already the concubine of 'Nanming', so naturally follow the will of Nanming to be a good wife. Daming has been accumulated for a long time, so it is understandable for Nanwang to take back Daming from the intruders and bring it into the territory of 'Nanming'.

It was a blessing that Lang'er was able to escape the burglar's clutches, I just wanted him to live a peaceful life, and he really didn't have the slightest intention of letting Lang'er compete with the Southern King for the throne. "

Empress Zhou is virtuous, but it doesn't mean that she has no opinions and is ignorant of things. On the contrary, she is very good at protecting herself and her son. She knows the intention of her daughter's question today, and understands that her and her daughter's statement will reach the ears of Nanwang.

She knew that her husband, Emperor Chongzhen, could not keep the Daming country even with all his efforts, and her son was just an ignorant boy with no financial power, military power, and no support from civil servants and generals. Wouldn't it be death if he didn't know each other?
Zhou Hou did not hesitate to express his support for Nanwang's proclaiming emperor, and also supported "Nanming" and the merger of Ming Dynasty, which clarified the attitude of Queen Daming's full support for Nanwang's decision.

Kunxing immediately felt relieved when she received her mother's reply, she leaned into her mother's arms and said: "Mother, my husband is not a person who does not recognize his relatives, he has already sent elite soldiers to the capital to protect the emperor.

The husband concluded that the father should be living well now, but the husband didn't know why it took so long to see the elite soldiers who performed the mission come back to do business. "

Zhou Hou was not calm anymore, and asked anxiously, holding Kun Xing's hand tightly, "My son, did the King of Nan really send troops to the Daming capital to rescue him? He really wanted your father to live? Why? It stands to reason that Daming is gone. Your father, it is more logical for the Southern King to rule the Central Plains!"

Zhou Hou was really insightful, pointing out the crux of the problem straight to the point. It stands to reason that Nanwang would have done his best if he didn't attack and kill Chongzhen.

Kun Xing said proudly: "My husband is an upright hero, he doesn't bother to add insult to injury, he is more willing to save people in danger.

He has always insisted on speaking with his strength. He believed that he would bring the people of Daming a good life with ample food and clothing, and wanted his father to see with his own eyes that under his rule, the Haiqinghe Yan Kingdom was prosperous and the people were strong. "

Zhou Hou was skeptical, but it was inconvenient to refute at this time, she echoed: "Everyone can see the ability of King Nan to govern the country, and the people of Ming Dynasty are blessed to meet this king."

Kun Xing blinked mischievously, and asked: "Mother, knowing that the father is alive, does it still count if you supported my prince's ascension to the throne just now?"

"This..." Empress Zhou pondered for a moment, then said firmly: "I still support Nan Wang as the new emperor of Ming Dynasty. If I can see your father, I will also urge Your Majesty to give up the throne and give up to Nan Wang. There is only one thing. I can't worry about it."

"Mother, my daughter knows why you are worried. Yesterday, my husband personally promised to treat my father and several brothers well. I can trust your husband's character."

"Hey! How much is a character worth in front of the throne? No emperor in history who was forced to abdicate can die well!"

"Man is doing what the sky is watching. Your husband should have thought about the pros and cons of this matter after working so hard to save the father from the capital. If the father really abdicates the throne, I believe he will not do anything to the father."

"Now your father and the crown prince are under the protection of King Nan, and so are we. There is really no capital to negotiate conditions. As long as I can ensure the safety of the whole family, I will do my best to persuade your father, and you must also persuade Nan Wang You can't just kill the donkey!"

Zhou Hou seemed very helpless at this time. Her daughter asked her to express her opinion today. Although it is not considered a forced palace, it is almost the same. The throne is not important now. The question is which emperor who lost the throne can live at ease.

"Mother, don't worry. In history, Song Taizu Huang Paojia treated Zhou Shizong Chai Rong's descendants kindly after his death. The land area of ​​the new Daming is more than five times larger than that of the Song Dynasty. How can Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi compare in the mind of the Southern King."

"That's right! King Nan has a reputation for benevolence and love. He should be able to accommodate a non-threatening Ming emperor."

Even so, there was still loneliness in Zhou Hou's voice.Seeing this, Kun Xing didn't know how to comfort her. He held his mother's hand tightly and wept with her.

In the world, some families are happy and some are sad. In the flagship meeting room, the conspirator Huang Sheng, who was listening to He Xiang's report on today's schedule, was interrupted by the report of his own soldiers.
