Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 383 Move the holy driver, Wang Yan annoyed Guansheng

The time has entered mid-September. On the official roads in Guangnan, there are fast horses coming out of Zhaoqing and Guangzhou every day. They bring rewards and canonized edicts to the state capital that is still controlled by Nanming. Members, promised to be high-ranking officials, in the hope that they will support him in the next reign.

Countless knights rushed to Huguang and Jiangxi to convey the will of the two small courts in Guangzhou and Zhaoqing respectively, but when these knights were heading north, a group of Ming army knights came from Ganzhou.

On the official road leading to Guangzhou, ten knights of the Ming army galloped past. They had the banner of [-] li speeding up, and no one dared to stop them.

The cavalry's horses are under their legs, and their hooves are flying like flying. The flags on the knights' backs are flying along with the horses, and are blown by the wind.

"Eight hundred miles in a hurry, those who stand in the way will die, and those who oppose it will perish~"

The knights shouted loudly and urged their horses, and the passers-by and gatekeepers evaded one after another, and they entered the city of Guangzhou directly amidst the crowd's discussion.

In Guangzhou city, in the palace of the Tang king rebuilt by the chief envoy’s yamen, Su Guansheng rushed into the palace with a decree in his hand, and asked the guards in the palace excitedly as he walked, “Where is Your Highness?”

A group of guards and servants of the royal residence, seeing Su Guansheng's appearance of losing his composure, were startled, and after a while, a member of the palace pointed timidly at one place and said: "Mr. Huige, Your Highness seems to be in the study~"

Su Guansheng was very familiar with the palace rebuilt by the chief envoy's yamen, he was a frequent visitor here, and he was quite clear about the layout of the palace, so he hurried towards the study immediately.

The king of Tang was studying with a copy of "Zizhi Tongjian" in his room. Except for the princes who had the opportunity to inherit the throne, the imperial clan of the Ming Dynasty basically received no education, and very few could read. It is precisely because of the flaws in the successor training system that once the previous emperor dies, the next one is mostly a strange king who has not been trained in the study of emperors.

The king of Tang had not been taught the study of emperors, but the current historical tide pushed him ahead of the times. He could only read as many books as possible, hoping that he would be qualified for the great task entrusted to him by his ancestors.

Fortunately, under the influence of the emperor's brother Longwu, King Tang could read and break characters. It was not difficult for him to read many historical classics. Every time he read an article, he had a feeling in his heart, but when he was fascinated by it, , but came from outside the house, Su Guansheng called excitedly, "Your Highness~Your Highness~"

Hearing the words, King Tang frowned slightly, then put the books away, got up and left the study room, just in time to meet Su Guansheng who was a bit out of control.

"Ge Lao is this?" Tang Wang saw that the jade belt on Su Guan's official robe was not fastened, and the black sand on his head was not fastened. He was obviously excited for a while and forgot everything, so he couldn't help talking secretly.

"Your Highness~" Su Guansheng bumped into King Tang, the excitement on his face remained undiminished, and he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is safe and sound. He has been welcomed out of Fujian by the Duke of Chu, and will soon enter Guangdong~"

"What?" King Tang was surprised when he heard the news.

Su Guansheng hurriedly presented the edict he had just received to the king of Tang, and said, "This is an edict sent from northern Fujian to southern Jiangxi. Your Majesty is indeed safe and sound~"

King Tang took it over to watch, knowing that the news would not be false, his body relaxed immediately, he thought he didn't want to take over Longwu's foundation, and he always hoped that the emperor's brother would be safe and sound, and he could rebuild his ancestor's land, but when he really When I heard the news of Longwu's safety, I was worried about gain and loss, and couldn't be happy at all.

At this moment, Tang Wang felt that Su Guansheng was still watching him, so he could only say, "Very good~very good~" to cover up his embarrassment.

Over the past few days, the things Tang Wang experienced were richer and more exciting than his entire first half of his life. He defended the city with the soldiers and civilians of Guangzhou, and accepted the support and shouts of the soldiers and civilians.

The voice of "His Royal Highness is a thousand years old" said that he was not tempted, and no one would believe it. Now that the emperor's brother Longwu is safe and sound, his mission will be completed. The ministers who support him are all supporters of the Tang Dynasty, and they will definitely return to Longwu , and he can only abdicate and return to the vassal.

Compared with the experience of these days, the suzerain vassal life, which is subject to many restrictions and cannot participate in state affairs, is simply equivalent to a cage for the current king of Tang. Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling sad.

The Qing army occupied Fujian for a short period of time, and many forces that originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty had not had time to clean up. This made Wang Yan quickly contact the Fujian Jinyiwei who had gone underground after the Battle of Hegu, and obtained a large number of Fujian troops. ground information.

The news of the Battle of Hegu was quickly spread throughout Fujian in various versions. The Ming forces who were still insisting on resisting the Qing Dynasty learned that Longwu was still alive, and Wang Yan defeated Boluo in Yanping. The sleeves are ready to do a big job, it is best to drive the Qing soldiers out of Fujian in one go, and restore the whole of Fujian.

Some officials who had just surrendered to the Qing Dynasty also showed repeated attitudes, and began to contact Nanming's secret operations in Fujian, providing Wang Yan and Zheng Chenggong with a lot of information.

Wang Yan did not have the ability to take the opportunity to restore the whole of Fujian. In the first battle of Hegu, he killed and injured tens of thousands of people, and the army was already weakened. Yan had achieved his strategic goal, and at this time there was not enough food and grass, so the army immediately retreated to southern Jiangxi. He left Jin Shengheng and borrowed some food and grass from Wanji, and took Shengjia to Guangdong.

At the end of September, outside the city of Guangzhou, Tang Wang and Su Guansheng led a hundred officials out of the city for ten miles, and met each other at the Changting Pavilion. They waited from morning to afternoon when the sun was about to set, but they still did not wait for the holy car.

At this time, a civil servant stood on tiptoe, looked into the distance, saw a red line appeared in the sky, and immediately said happily: "Your Highness, Elder Ge, Chu Guogong and Shengjia have arrived~"

When the officials heard the words, they saw a troop of horses and horses approaching in a continuous manner. The cavalry in front cleared the way, and the flags were flying, so they hurriedly adjusted their official robes and waited patiently.

After about a stick of incense, the army arrived outside the long pavilion. Wang Yan took the lead, and he went directly to the outside of the pavilion. A group of officials hurriedly greeted him. Su Guansheng greeted him, "Your Majesty has worked hard all the way, where is Your Majesty?"

Wang Yan's face was full of frost. He got off his horse and pulled Su Guansheng aside. Instead of answering, he asked in a questioning tone, "What's the matter with Mr. Su Ge? After leaving two prison countries, do you still think the world is not chaotic enough?"

Su Guansheng was slightly taken aback, and quickly explained: "The matter of the Tang king supervising the country is a matter of necessity, and the facts are forced. At the beginning of the siege by the Qing soldiers, only by supporting the Tang king in Guangzhou can people's hearts be stabilized. Now that His Majesty has returned, His Highness Tang has already His majesty will not blame you for deciding to abdicate and return to the vassal, so you don't have to worry about it."

Wang Yan's complexion did not improve, "What about Zhaoqing? Didn't the Zuoge Department send an edict for His Majesty's safety to Guangzhou more than half a month ago? Why is Zhaoqing still sending out edicts in the name of Jian Guo?"

There was a sneer on Su Guansheng's face, "I have received the news, but the envoys sent to Zhaoqing and Guangxi were all stopped by the hall. Zhaoqing should not know about His Majesty's news yet."

Wang Yan frowned, and his face changed greatly: "Ge is so confused~ If this matter is taken off like this, even if King Gui wants to abdicate and return to the vassal, the supporters below will not agree, and then it will be another dispute of the same surname."

"No, the current situation is quite different from the dispute between Tang and Lu." Su Guansheng shook his head, apparently disagreeing with Wang Yan, "This hall has carefully read the letter of the Duke of the Kingdom. At present, the imperial court controls Huguang, Jiangxi, and Guangdong. It is not comparable to when His Majesty first ascended the throne. King Lu and His Majesty fought because the imperial court was not strong enough at that time, but now the imperial court directly controls no less than 20 soldiers and horses. It is right to sweep away disobedient ministers and eliminate hidden dangers. This hall is also doing this to make His Majesty make up his mind. Thoroughly cut out those forces that are disloyal to His Majesty."

Wang Yan was annoyed when he heard this, "The old general's thinking is too simple. King Gui is a descendant of Shenzong, and his influence is too great. He issued an edict in the name of supervising the country, Xu Guan Xu Jue, it will inevitably cause chaos in the court~"

There is one more thing that Wang Yan didn't say. He also received Gui Fan's edict, and he was named the King of Hengyang County. Then He Tengjiao and others will definitely receive it. He can't be tempted, but his subordinates and other local officials Woolen cloth?
