Han’s Son is Not a Slave: Chapter 626 Respectfully invite Tang Wang to supervise the country!

On the road from Taishan to Wencun, the horses galloped fast.

The whole territory of Taishan was restored the year before last. Chen Bingwen, the Manchu green camp originally stationed in Taishan, knew that Guangzhou had fallen, and the King of Pingnan, Shang Kexi, died. After the King of Jingnan, Geng Jimao, surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he took his cronies to Wencun to confront King Tang and General Hu Ben. Wang Xing, please surrender. Chen Bingwen was saved from death because he saw the opportunity quickly. Now he is serving as a brigade deputy in the tenth town of the Taiping Army. This will be suppressing bandits in the south of Guangxi. Guo Zhiqi, a scholar of the Yongli court who fled from Yunnan to Guangxi, is Chen Bingwen's subordinate. found.

After Taishan was restored, there was a lesson from the famine in Wencun, so Tang Wang Zhu Yue asked Wang Xing to organize the army and civilians of Wencun to move to Taishan, and sent people to recruit refugees to reclaim the barren fields in the county, so that in just one year, Taishan could be It is self-sufficient and no longer needs assistance from the outside world, especially from Guangzhou.

After Zhou Shixiang issued a call to the king of diligence to the various Ming army miscellaneous cards along the coast of Guangdong, Tang Wang persuaded Wang Xing to respond to the call immediately. I went to the letter and hoped that they could put aside their prejudice against Zhou Shixiang and the Taiping Army, and respond to the call of supporting King Qin as the governor. However, after Zhang Xiaoqi received the letter, he said that Tang Fan's involvement in politics was not a national blessing. In order to make Lianchengbi stand by himself, Zhang Xiaoqi moved out of the old affairs of Tang Fan in the Chongzhen Dynasty to persuade him.

Tang Fan's old story is that in the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Manchu Qing sent Doluo County King Azige to lead his troops to attack Beizhili and other places. When the fief was in Nanyang, Henan, the Tang King Zhu Yujian was eager to invite the Qin King, but the Chongzhen Emperor refused. When they went to Yuzhou, the governor Yang Shengwu made a speech, and Emperor Chongzhen ordered him to return. In desperation, King Tang had no choice but to return to Nanyang, where he fought against the peasant army halfway through, and fought a few times, each with a winner and a loser.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was difficult for Chengzu Jing, so after Chengzu, he was very strict with the vassal kings. Therefore, even if Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang, only saw that the country was being oppressed by the Eastern captives, and he had a warm-blooded guard and a diligent king, he still made Emperor Chongzhen furious.

Zhang Xiaoqi mentioned the old events of Tang Fan, obviously reminding Liancheng Wall to prevent the recurrence of the old events of Longwu. At present, the Qing army has invaded Yunnan and Guizhou on a large scale, and there is no communication between the imperial court and Guangdong. However, the Taiping army has hit the Qing army one after another in Guangdong and regained the whole province of Guangdong. Therefore, Zhang Xiaoqi is very worried that the thief show, who has a strong army, will not make a fuss about the king of Tang. .

Since Nandu, Hongguang was established for the four towns in Jiangbei, Longwu was established for the Zheng family in Fujian, and Emperor Yongli was established for Qu Shiti, the governor of Guangxi who had military power, and others. Only with the support of soldiers and horses did he become emperor. Now that the imperial court is declining, Guangdong is strong, and the thief Xiucai has shown disrespect to the imperial court twice. Therefore, Zhang Xiaoqi's worry cannot but be unreasonable. In addition, this time Zhou Shixiang crossed the city wall, the Governor of Guangdong issued a call to the King of Diligence, They attacked those soldiers and horses who were unwilling to respond, and even sent troops to force Qinzhou, and even sent the governor to the city wall and captured it under the city.

Lianchengbi didn't like Zhou Shixiang in the first place, and the governor's yamen's delay in moving back made him have no sympathy for Zhou Shixiang. In addition, Gao Lei, who was finally recruited, went into the library and rebelled against the water. Therefore, Zhang Xiaoqi said this, Lianchengbi naturally had a crush on King Tang. Be vigilant, he is the governor of Guangdong appointed by Yongli, and it is impossible for him to turn his back on Yongli and support the king of Tang even if he takes 10,000 steps back.

Furthermore, Tang Fan was not officially recognized by the Yongli court. After Emperor Longwu ascended to Fujing, he named his second brother Zhu Yuyan the king of Tang. Later, Zhu Yuyan proclaimed himself emperor in Guangzhou and gave the prince of Tang to his third brother Zhu Yue. And Zhu Yuju's Shaowu regime has been an enemy of Zhaoqing's Yongli regime since its establishment. Neither side recognizes the other's orthodoxy. One is enthroned according to the line of Emperor Shenzong, and the other is enthroned according to the system of brotherhood and succession. In terms of righteousness, it makes sense for both parties to ascend the throne. However, this is a dispute between the emperors. Zhu Youlang or Zhu Yuju will give up. The final outcome is an infighting in Guangdong.

Yongli did not recognize Shaowu's regime, and naturally he would not recognize Zhu Yu'e as a Tang Fan. If Wang Xing hadn't welcomed Zhu Yu'e to Wenchun, Zhu Yu'e would have already died. After the eldest princess of Changle was brought to Kunming by the scholar Guo Zhiqi, Yongli, out of appeasement, attracted the power of Tang Fan left by Longwu and Shaowu, and paid great attention to Changle Zhu Shuyi, but until he abandoned the country and fled to Burma, He has never issued a formal edict and canonized Zhu Yue, so Zhu Yue, the Tang king, was named by Emperor Shaowu, and he did not enter the genealogy. If even the city walls did not recognize him as a Tang fan, Zhu Yue was a commoner, and he even wanted to Take on the name of a big rebel.

"Brother end brother Ji", but Zhu Youlang, Emperor Yongli, is the least willing to see the four words, Shaowu brother end brother Ji and him to grab the throne, who can guarantee that Zhu Yue will not come here too. Even if Zhu Yue took the initiative to express his support when Yongli ascended the throne in Zhaoqing, and persuaded Jinxia Zheng to support Yongli, and even insisted on staying in Guangdong to fight against the Qing in order not to be calculated by the military, even if he was on the verge of starvation. Leave Wencun. There are various indications that Zhu Yu'e, the king of Tang, really supported Yongli with sincerity. But this sincere heart is so pale and powerless compared with the words "brother and brother". The more Tang Wang does, the more suspicious the Yongli court will be of him. Let me ask, with just one word from Zhu Yu'e, Zheng Sen, who has a strong army, can be changed to support Yongli, and will he make Zheng Sen support him again in the future?

Therefore, Zhu Yue didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but it was such a letter that was purely for the sake of fighting against the Qing Dynasty and to save the emperor, but it made Lian Chengbi and Zhang Xiaoqi greatly afraid.

Lianchengbi is determined to ignore Tang Wang's persuasion, and would rather hide in Qinzhou to be the governor of his government, rather than bow his head to Guangzhou, let alone say that he has the idea of ​​Tang Wang ascending the throne. It is beneficial for the people of Guangdong to have the Tang king ascending the throne, but he has no advantage even for the city walls, because he is now the highest official of the Ming Dynasty in Guangdong, and he has the power to control the lower than the king of the county, even if this power has never been exercised, but in name he Is the first person in Guangdong. If you can switch to the lintel, what are the benefits of connecting the city walls? The thief scholar is not even willing to let him go back to Guangzhou. He has no soldiers and no generals to cater to the thief scholar, and even participates in the support of the Tang Dynasty, so that he can have a share of the water!

The letter did not work, and Tang Wang Zhu Yu'e was a little disappointed, but on second thought, he was right. The Yongli court had never recognized his title of Tang Fan, so why did he want the governor and governor to unite with Zhou Shi.

After Wang Xing brought his soldiers into the tenth town of the Taiping Army and went to Guangxi from Zhaoqing, King Tang stayed in Wencun. His subordinates wanted King Tang to go to Taishan County, where the conditions were much better than Wencun, but King Tang refused to go, but said that although Wencun is a small place, it has beautiful mountains and rivers. If he can die here, he will have no regrets in life.

When the city of Guangzhou was destroyed, Tang Wang's family was in distress, and only a concubine escaped with him. Ten years later, the elegant concubine of the year has now become a middle-aged woman. Wencun's hard life tortured not only the anti-Qing army and civilians, but also his husband and wife Tang Wang.

Early in the morning, King Tang, as usual, carried his **** to the palace, which was actually just an open space behind a few larger thatched cottages. There is a lot of open space, and there are some small vegetables growing on it, all of which were planted by Tang Wang and his wife.

One was weeding with a hoe, the other was pouring water with a bucket, and the couple enjoyed themselves happily. If you are tired, sit down and take a break; if you are thirsty, take a scoop of water to drink; if you are sweating, take a smear on your sleeve. Every move is like ordinary people, and there is no sign of wealth.

Tang Wang had a very hard life in his life. He remembered that when he was very young, he was locked up by his grandfather with his father and two older brothers. Grandpa even wanted the four of them to die, and he wanted to starve them to death.

Tang Wang remembered clearly that the eldest brother Zhu Yujian was only 12 years old, the second brother Zhu Yujian was 10 years old, and he was only 4 years old. I don't know why my grandfather hates them. He only knows that he, his father, brother, and the others are locked in a dark room. If there was not a secret official in the palace, Zhang Shutang, who helped deliver some brown rice to them, I'm afraid they would have starved to death. in that house.

16 years, exactly 16 years!

Tang Wang, who was scooping water, shuddered suddenly. He thought that he was a 20-year-old young man when he came out of that room, but his father was dying and died since then. But his grandfather still didn't change his mind. In order to seal his concubine's son as Prince Tang's heir, he wanted to cancel his eldest brother Zhu Yujian's heir status. Later, when Chen Qiyu, a local official in Nanyang, couldn't stand it when he mourned his father, he warned his grandfather that the cause of his death was unknown, and that he hastily changed the hereditary candidate. Maybe the court would blame him in the future. In this way, the grandfather, the king of Tang, became afraid and hurriedly named his eldest brother Zhu Yujian a "grandson". That cruel grandfather also passed away.

Zhu Yuyan gave a wry smile, wondering if he should hate that cruel grandfather. He let out a long sigh and sat down with the help of Concubine Ai. The hardships he suffered in his childhood combined with the hardships he endured in these years made others look older, looking like an old man in his 60s or 70s, but in reality he only 49 years old.

Tang Wang admired his eldest brother, because the eldest brother really had the courage. He remembered that on the day his eldest brother became Queen Tang, he killed his two uncles, Zhu Qixuan and Anyang King Zhu Qixun, who had murdered his father. Because of this, he offended many ministers in the court. At that time, despite the dissuasion of the officials of the palace, he resolutely recruited Ma Bei to Qin Wang, but only after being released from the dark cell for less than half a year, he was once again trapped in the royal prison in Fengyang, which made the clan daunting. In prison, the **** of Fengyang Shouling couldn't ask for bribes, so he tortured the elder brother with the method of piercing the lock.

In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Fengyang Governor Lu Zhenfei visited Zhu Yujian in prison. Zhu Yujian had already worn away a lot of his vigor at that time, and he treated Lu Zhenfei very politely, which made him very fond of him, and sent someone to take special care of the Tang king. Later, Lu Zhenfei told Emperor Chongzhen that Gaoqiang was abusing the imperial family. After Chongzhen got the report, he ordered to kill Shi Ying Zhao, the tomb supervisor who bullied the Tang king. A year later, at the invitation of Liu Liangzuo, an uncle of Guangchang, Zhu Yujian was released and named King of Nanyang. It was also in that year that Zhu Yujian was enthroned as emperor by the Zheng family in Fuzhou.

When the eldest brother died, Zhu Yu'e and the second brother Zhu Yujian fled to Guangdong, and then Su Guansheng, a university scholar in Guangdong, supported the second brother Zhu Yujian to be the emperor, and then Tang Gui fought. The city of Guangzhou was broken, he escaped from the city and came to Wencun...

Scenes of past events emerged from Tang Wang Zhu Yu'e's mind one by one, and his expression became more and more lonely. His father died, his brothers also died, and his two sons also died in Guangzhou. Now, he is the only one in the world.

King Tang coughed. The suffering of childhood coupled with severe malnutrition made King Tang's body and bones worse and worse.

Mrs. Tang Wang, who was called the princess by outsiders, held Tang Wang's hand nervously with one hand, and gently patted his back with the other hand.

"My lord, go back to the house and rest, you can do the rest alone." Mrs. Tang Wang looked at her husband with concern, her eyes were full of tenderness.

Tang Wang calmed down, he smiled, rolled up his trousers like an old peasant, and reached for his hoe.

"One grain of millet is planted in spring, and tens of thousands in autumn. There are no idle fields in the four seas, and the farmer still starves to death. On the afternoon of the hoeing day, sweat drips down the soil. Who knows that the meal on the plate is hard work."

The lady also laughed, and instead of discouraging her husband, she turned around and prepared to fetch water. Just when Madam lifted the bucket, Wang Xing's subordinate, Chen Qing, who stayed behind in Wencun to guard King Tang, hurried over.

Seeing Tang Wangguo in the vegetable garden, Chen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted in a hurry, "Your Highness, they have come to invite Your Highness to supervise the country!"
