Zhu Xieyuan led Xu Jianqiang to the back of the tent. He poured a cup of tea, drank it for himself, and said coldly, "if you have anything to say." he is in a very unhappy and depressed mood. He just wants to kill and vent his anger. The person in front of him is very suitable.
Xu Jianqiang said coldly, "Zhu Xieyuan took the order."
Zhu Xieyuan was stunned. He said, "the emperor has died. Where is the will?"
At this time, Xu Jianqiang's face became gloomy. He said darkly, "emperor Chongzhen's last edict is here. Does Zhu Xieyuan take the order?"
He took an edict from his arms and held it high in his hand.
Zhu Xieyuan was surprised, hesitated for a moment, knelt down and said, "minister, take the order! Ask Saint bows?"
This is a normal response of foreign ministers when they receive the decree. They must first greet the emperor. At the moment of the decree, the other party is equivalent to the emperor's attachment, that is, the representative of the emperor. They can receive a gift from anyone and then answer.
Xu Jianqiang shed tears. He said, "the emperor has died. It must be uneasy."
Zhu Xieyuan also knew about it. He had to say, "I take the order."
However, Xu Jianqiang did not publicly read out the edict, but handed it to Zhu Xieyuan. Zhu Xieyuan saw that it was an edict to support the orphans: "At the end of April in the year of Ding Chou, the thieves approached the capital, and all officials were helpless. There were several imperial decrees, but there was no king Qin's teacher. I lost my virtue and invited heaven to criticize, which made the rivers and mountains fall into the hands of the thieves. The people were in deep water and fire. I had no face to see my ancestors and ancestors. I killed myself and killed my country, and allowed the thieves to split my body. Only the prince, CI Jiong, and the princess, Chi Jiong, were young and innocent. The ancestral blood could not be broken. I was entrusted to him Xu Jianqiang brought him up and protected his life. All princes, ministers, commanders and generals loyal to the Ming Dynasty helped him and protected my blood. Zhu Youjian thanked him. "
Seeing this, Zhu Xieyuan was ecstatic. He said, "the prince and the prince and princess are still on earth?"
Xu Jianqiang made a bow to the capital and said, "thanks to the blessing of the emperor's spirit in heaven, the prince and princess are still there. Now they are properly arranged."
Zhu Xieyuan said, "the bodies found in Kunning palace...?"
Xu Jianqiang said, "this is a double. If you don't think of it, our East Hall supervisor will be in vain."
Zhu Xieyuan said angrily, "well, you are a rebellious eunuch Xu, who left the emperor and escaped alone. What crime should you commit?"
Xu Jianqiang said, "on the day the city broke down, a group of dead men led by our family broke into the imperial palace to protect the former Emperor and break out of the siege. However, the former Emperor knew that things could not be done and died for the country to cover our withdrawal. If the Emperor didn't return to heaven, the traitors wouldn't relax their vigilance. We couldn't escape."
Hearing this, Zhu Xieyuan felt sad. This was the last emperor of the Ming Empire. He didn't doubt what Xu Jianqiang said, because it was reasonable for the other party to say this. It's not strange for parents to sacrifice themselves in order to let their children live. If he did it himself, he would do it like this.
Ben Zhu Xieyuan was very poor. He was like a person carrying a heavy burden and moving forward alone. Suddenly, he put down the heavy burden and had so many like-minded people, which made him very happy. He said happily: "Zhu is fighting for this old bone, but also to help the young Lord ascend the throne and ZTE Daming."
If emperor Chongzhen's son was still alive, he would naturally be the first heir to the throne, and his qualifications and appeal would be better than that of King Fu. Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide and died in the country. How many people felt his loyalty and aroused anger and anger, and would throw themselves under their command to help protect the young Lord, resist the Chinese thieves and prosper the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, his subordinates do not support his plan and his establishment of the king of fortune as emperor. Now he understands the concerns in everyone's heart, but this is a forced choice. Now that there is a choice, his soldiers should not object. Generally, it is the best of both worlds, right?
Who knows, Xu Jianqiang said, "Duke Zhu, I'm afraid you misunderstood the holy meaning."
Zhu Xieyuan said coldly, "what does Duke Xu mean by this?"
Xu Jianqiang just now was eunuch Xu, who was greedy for life and afraid of death. He ended him later and sent him to serve the emperor. However, he was so loyal that when the imperial city was broken, he was able to enter the harem and save the prince regardless of danger. His courage and style alone deserved his respect. He was called a man, so he was called a man I am a man of the same mind.
Xu Jianqiang said, "the assistance mentioned in the imperial edict means that we have fled here and you provide necessary help."
Zhu Xieyuan punched the capital. He said, "I will die in pieces." since the former Emperor had descendants, he should not hesitate to establish him as the Lord and continue to be loyal to him.
Xu Jianqiang said, "Zhu Gong, you don't understand now. Since the former Emperor would rather die himself than protect the prince, that is to say, the former Emperor had the intention of death and didn't want the prince to be involved in right and wrong. He only wished his life safe and happy. Before leaving, the former Emperor sighed: may he not be in the emperor's house for all his life."
Zhu Xieyuan was very angry when he heard such bad words. He said, "what nonsense? How can you be so ungrateful? If others rob you, you'll get it back."
From Zhu Xieyuan's point of view, he thought so. Just a few decades ago, when he was very young, the candy he ate in his mouth was robbed by the strong children of his neighbors. He risked being beaten by the other party. He also wanted to beat the other party and run away. He dug back his own sugar from his mouth and ate it sweetly. How could he be so discouraged and robbed by others, Just swallow it?
Xu Jianqiang was displeased. He said, "this is the will of the former Emperor. Are you questioning the former Emperor?"
Since he was the first emperor, he was a God. To speak ill of him was to slander him. If he questioned him, it would be great. Zhu Xieyuan had to say: "I dare not. I mean, Daming is the legacy of our ancestors and the responsibility of every descendant, not the job you want to do. The former Emperor was in a desperate situation and couldn't figure it out for a moment. It's understandable. Now I have 300000 troops in my hand, and several provincial squire generals echo each other. As long as I shout, millions of troops are at hand to defeat China The summer thief is just around the corner. Can he be a shrinking turtle? "
Xu Jianqiang said: "the former Emperor and the empress are fighting for their death. They also want to let Wei Chen bring the prince out. They just want them to live. If the emperor still has the heart, he will follow Yu Chen to escape and join the marshal. Now we are desperate to join the marshal. I hope the marshal can make arrangements. The blood of the former Emperor can't be broken, and the blood of the Taizu emperor can't be broken."
Zhu Xieyuan really didn't like to hear this. He said angrily, "generally speaking, there is no dispute in this world?"
Xu Jianqiang said, "as far as the late emperor was concerned, with tears on his deathbed, he would like to be away from the emperor's house for generations to come. The queen said that he only wanted the prince to grow up safely without disease and pain in his life. No one mentioned his fame, wealth and wealth."
Hearing this, Zhu Xieyuan suddenly fell to the ground. He said, "the first emperor wanted to give up the country and the world, which made him feel embarrassed and ashamed to see all his ancestors."
Xu Jianqiang said, "we are the ministers of the Ming Dynasty and the servants of the emperor. Since the emperor has made a decision, we will implement it. Even the emperor has decided to give up this family property. We are unwilling to struggle. What can we do? In the end, we just add casualties."
What he said was a bit similar to that of King Fu. If King Fu said it, Zhu Xieyuan dared to slap him in the face. If the emperor told him face to face, he also dared to argue with reason and return the order.
But this is the first emperor. He has become an immortal. You can't question it. The first emperor is also a wise man. It's possible to make such a decision before his death. But Zhu Xieyuan is not reconciled. In his eyes, there are millions of troops and several provinces in front of Daming. You can still take risks. If you give up this opportunity, there will be no real opportunity in the future.
But the emperor's painstaking efforts, he also understood that as a parent, he should exhaust all means and methods to let his children live.
His whole family was killed, and only one child was left to wait around him, so he escaped the disaster. That is, the last blood he left behind was too dangerous to be targeted by the public. It was easy to be assassinated by Chinese thieves. Therefore, Zhu Xieyuan also got a sum of silver to let him find a remote place, hide his name and pass on his blood of the Zhu family.
As for Zhu Xieyuan, who is already an old bone and deeply loved by the emperor, he must be loyal to the emperor.
Now the emperor's idea actually coincided with him and made the same arrangement. This is what parents will do. They will sacrifice themselves in order to preserve their offspring.
But in dealing with their own problems, they are very casual. The emperor and queen committed suicide and died in order to save their children. They are not like this. At this moment, Zhu Xieyuan burst into tears.
Eunuch Xu knew that he was persuaded this time, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. Xu Jianqiang tried his best and left the capital.
But it was almost exposed that his influence in the capital was uprooted by the Chinese army. It can be said that there were not many people left around him, and it was not enough to ensure the safety of the prince. Therefore, he ventured to Zhu Xieyuan, hoping to get his help, at least transfer him a batch of people and money and food.
Xu Jianqiang knew that Zhu Xieyuan was a very loyal and upright person. Even if he did not agree with them, he would not murder them.
Zhu Xieyuan said, "Duke Xu, tell me what you think."
Xu Jianqiang said: "Since the former Emperor has ordered the prince to stay away from the world's disputes and be away from the royal family from generation to generation, this is to let him live in peace and anonymity for the rest of his life. I hope to get the help of the public and send some loyal men to protect them. In addition, I need some money and food, find a place where there is no one and hide his name. From then on, I study and farm and spend the rest of my life in peace, You can also make an explanation when you see the former Emperor and queen. "
Zhu Xieyuan said: "Xu Gong thinks like this. He is very mature and safe, but from the perspective of future generations, it is very bad. The rivers and mountains handed down by his ancestors, as future generations, how can he say to give up and give up. It is very unfilial for his cubs to sell their fields."
