Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 332 Competition
"Send someone to Huai'an to check if that eunuch is the eunuch next to King Fu."

Yang Chao finally remembered some clues, as if King Fu succeeded to the throne because of the operation of an eunuch, so he immediately gave the order.

He worked so hard to pick up the princes, just to prevent civil strife in the south of the Yangtze River. He knew that after King Fu succeeded to the throne, the Donglin Party quarreled endlessly with other parties. The main reason is that King Fu has enmity with the Donglin Party.

If it were Chongzhen's son, no one would be able to say anything. Only then would everyone be united in thinking and Jiangnan would be able to stabilize as soon as possible.

If he took back the prince and allowed King Fu to succeed him, what would he face when he went back? A civil war with the people who supported King Fu?
This is something Yang Chao absolutely does not want to see.

"Forget it. Lu Mo, you go there yourself and ask Huang Fengfu to write a letter to explain it to me. Ask him two questions, the first is how the situation in Jiangnan is, and the second is how he has been active before. Then tell him I brought the prince here and let him spread the news among the civil officials in the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible."

Yang Chao wants everyone to know the news of the prince as soon as possible, and to unify everyone's minds, not to think about just pulling out a vassal king to compete for the throne, but to make up his mind to welcome the prince back.

Let others worry about it, and let Lu Mo go there in person. Fortunately, Lu Mo can also ride a horse, but his level is not as good. It is not as good as Li Wuliu, who is the best on horseback, and not as good as Yu Jiye's personal soldiers, but Lu Mo's cultural level is relatively high.

In fact, what Yang Chao didn't know was that these civil servants were more eager to make contributions than he imagined.

As early as a few days ago, on April 26, Nanjing had established the decision of Fu Wang to inherit the Datong, and announced to the Taimiao, built the Wuying Hall, and sent people to Jiangbei to meet Fu Wang.

Did the civil servants figure it out? No, it was because they were forced to do nothing.

They wanted to establish Zhu Changhao, but all of them only knew about empty talk, and held a lot of meetings. As a result, their internal opinions were not unified at first, and civil officials who had a big picture, such as Lu Zhenfei, the governor of Huai'an, wrote a letter to Shi Kefa, saying that the preface should be correct. King Lifu, I hope Shi Kefa can determine the owner of the country early.

But Shi Kefa's lack of decision-making ability began to flare up again, and he was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he thought about the Donglin Party, and the Donglin Party would not allow King Fu to be established.

In a dilemma, Shi Kefa invited Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, to meet in Jiangpu. The two discussed a compromise. Ma Shiying suggested that if King Fu was not established, King Gui should be established, but the speed must be fast.

Shi Kefa approached Ma Shiying to discuss important matters because he valued that Ma Shiying was in Fengyang and held a heavy army. He originally had Huang Degong's tribe under him.

Ma Shiying also felt that he had a high position and authority. After discussing with Shi Kefa, he immediately summoned the officials of the six ministries in Nanjing to Jiangpu to discuss matters.

As a result, Ma Shiying returned to Fengyang very angry.

And Shi Kefa returned to Nanjing to continue the discussion.

They came and discussed, and Lu Jiude had already finished what he needed to do. He had won Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, and Gao Jie in Fengyang.
At this time, Ma Shiying returned to Fengyang. He was already dissatisfied with the officials of the six ministries in Nanjing. Seeing that the generals supported the King of Fu, he immediately changed his original intention, expressed his support for the King of Fu, and sold the civil officials in Nanjing directly.

The civil officials in Nanjing also discussed it and decided to go to Guangxi to welcome the King Gui, and the imperial guard of honor began to prepare.

At this time, it was heard that the generals supported King Fu, and they were dumbfounded, only to realize that in troubled times, you have to ask those who have soldiers in their hands.

Seeing that the overall situation cannot be changed, they changed their tunes one after another, saying that they also supported King Fu.

In the end, Shi Kefa, who was supposed to have the most power and was the most powerful man in the world, became a man inside and out. He changed to King Gui because the Donglin Party didn't want King Fu to succeed him. As a result, the Donglin Party members changed their minds. And where does Ma Shiying still have his letter, it can be used as evidence that Shi Kefa does not support King Fu, and Shi Kefa will not benefit from the new king.

The first blame Shi Kefa's indecision, and the second blame pig teammates like Donglin Party.

At this time, Shi Kefa thought of Yang Chao. In this competition for the position, it is not that no one thought about Yang Chao. With Yang Chao's strength, everyone felt that they could still use it, but they just thought about it, because Yang Chao went north to serve as the king. , there has been no news, and many people wonder if Yang Chao was beaten to death by Li Zicheng.

Shi Kefa also thought about it, but he had no choice but to accept the result of King Fu's succession. Anyway, he didn't have much objection at first, but because of the firm opposition of the Donglin Party, he never dared to take a stand to welcome King Fu.

As a result, on April 29, all the ministers greeted King Fu across the river.

At this time, Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, who was behind the scenes against Fu Wang, changed his face and said in a high-profile way, "Houjia Longjiang Pass!"

With a backbone of Donglin, he waited for King Fu at Longjiang Pass early.

Yang Chao's fast horse had already arrived in Huai'an, and Huang Feng's mansion was also very anxious these days, with several large blisters on his mouth.

These days are also inevitable for him day and night.

He was also involved in the vortex of fighting for the position, because he has always been the master of Yang Chao in the eyes of outsiders, so he can represent Yang Chao to a certain extent.

Lu Jiude is so smart, he has already started to win over Yang Chao, and he started from Huangfeng's mansion.

The price Lu Jiude offered to Huangfeng's mansion was to welcome King Fu, Yang Chao would be ennobled, and Huangfeng's mansion would join the Ministry of War as a servant.

Huang Fengfu was born as a commoner, and his father was a hawker who bought vegetables for a living.

Huang's father is a very honest small businessman. Although he has no worries about food and clothing, he can't become rich and rich. Big, but there are always regular customers.

Every day, Huangfeng's mansion would get up before dawn to help his father pick vegetables, throw away all the rotten vegetables and leaves, and then push them to the market to sell. There are always a few regular customers who come to buy Huang's vegetables.

However, Huang Feng's mansion dismissed it. Every time he saw his father's humiliation, and the domineering expressions of those women or servants of rich families, he felt very ashamed, so he helped his father push the vegetable cart to the market. After that, he leaned against the city wall with a book and read for a day.

Looking at the endless stream of pedestrians every day, Huang Feng's mansion was thinking about when he would be able to make a fortune, when he would be able to break away from these mortal beings and become a master.

Huang Fengfu has been ambitious since he was a child. He yearns for the encounters with those soaring characters in the books. He has read many books, many miscellaneous books, popular novels such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin, and the Four Books, Five Classics, Bagua and Zhou Yi, no? He has a wide range of hobbies, but he can read any books he can borrow, and he depends on borrowing for reading.

But the fate of Huangfeng's mansion was very bad. He met a county magistrate who appreciated him, and passed the childbirth examination, but he still failed the examination for scholar. Every year he failed.

Huang Fengfu did not despair, he continued to work hard, he felt that he only needed one chance.

But where is the opportunity? He couldn't wait for the imperial examination twice in three years. He quietly told his fortune to the old blind man on the street corner.

So Huangfeng's mansion began to look for a nobleman again, but for so many years, except for the old county magistrate, no one liked him at all, and he was not even interested in talking to him, a white-bodied scholar. , Returning disappointed again and again.

Until when the scholars were making noise in Jiangnan, he felt strongly that his opportunity had come, so he joined the ranks of scholars, hoping to get to know the influential figures among them, but the Fourth Young Master dismissed him at all. He pretended to be ridiculed by Pijiang, but met Yang Chao and treated him with more courtesy. Huang Fengfu was very happy. At that time, he believed that Yang Chao was his nobleman, and he had to rely on Yang Chao for the rest of his life.

Sure enough, Yang Chao has been promoted all the way since then. Although the status of Huangfeng Mansion has not changed, he has been doing things conscientiously. He believes that his day of prosperity is not far away.

This time when Beijing fell, Lu Jiude came to the door and promised that Huang Feng's mansion would see a chance to make a move that he had long cherished for many years. Therefore, he did not go north with Wang Pu, and concentrated on staying in Huai'an to socialize. He believed that he would stay in Huai'an. It is more important than going north. He can give himself and win greater benefits for Yang Chao by staying here.

It's just that he waited for Yang Chao not to return, and then waited for Yang Chao not to return, but he was still unable to answer Lu Jiude. However, Lu Jiude persuaded other warlords and finally put King Fu on the throne. A great opportunity passed by.

It was not until a few days later that he received the news from Yang Chao that Lu Mo had arrived in Huai'an.

Lu Mo asked him two questions.

How is the situation in Jiangnan?

King Fu has already crossed the river, and now he is temporarily in charge of the country. Passing is just a name. As long as the news of the death of Beijing Chongzhen and the prince is confirmed, he will be the undisputed emperor.

How does Huangfeng Mansion work?
He was active with Lu Jiude, but he didn't make any promises, he just said that he would wait for Yang Chao to make a decision.Let Lu Jiude agree to make Yang Chao uncle.

After answering the two questions, Lu Mo told Huang Fengfu a piece of news, which directly shocked Huangfengfu in place, and instantly lost his ability to think.

The crown prince is in Yang Chao's hands!The crown prince is in Yang Chao's hands!
Huang Feng's mansion was full of this information. He had argued with Lu Jiude for a long time, and he had already tacitly agreed that both Chongzhen and the prince were dead. Now that the prince suddenly jumped out, what should he do?Moreover, he was very suspicious. It was rumored that the prince was missing and most of the rebellious army was dead, but Yang Chao said that he brought the prince back. Is this true or false?

Could it be that Yang Chao wants to forcefully establish the emperor, just designate someone, maybe a son of a vassal prince, and then compete with the civil officials in the south of the Yangtze River and the warlords of the four towns for the right to hold the emperor!
Huang Fengfu thinks a lot, so his thinking ability is not enough.

Lu Mo told him step by step that Yang Chao hoped that the Huangfeng Mansion would immediately spread the news from Huai'an to Nanjing, so that all officials in the south of the Yangtze River would know.
