"Report, the winter snow in Jingyang melts, and hot springs gush out——"
"Report, Lutai's snow-white white wolf——"
"Report, a giant turtle suddenly appeared from the river in Xianyang, with ancient inscriptions engraved on its back——"
…
In other words, officials are the most motivated.
In the past few days, all the auspicious things that appear in ancient books have appeared in Xi'an Mansion, and they have come in groups, which can be said to be overwhelming.
Moreover, more than 90% of these auspicious signs are real. White wolves, giant turtles, golden harvests, hot springs, etc. are all real objects, and then they are sent to Xi'an City one by one.
He was even so arrogant that he wished he could beat gongs and drums, advertise it widely, and present himself in front of His Highness King Yu.
Xi'an Prefecture is happy to see its success.
As a result, the Prince of Qin's palace was filled with auspicious things from all over the place, and the animals and plants were densely packed, but they couldn't be allowed to starve to death, so they could only serve them well.
When Zhu Meng came to the Prince of Qin's Mansion, he saw such a scene of chickens flying, dogs flying, animals and birds everywhere, and he couldn't help but marvel:
"Almost in one day, everything in Xi'an was auspicious!"
"Who says it's not!"
Thirteen was in a state of embarrassment, directing the servants to feed them from time to time, and said helplessly: "It's hard for me. I have been serving them these past few days, and I am really too busy."
"Things that fly in the sky, things that walk on the ground, things that swim in the water, everything you want."
Seeing the smile on Zhu Meng's face, Thirteen couldn't help but complain: "I'm tired now. I can't make any mistakes, otherwise I'll be scolded."
"You are such a lively kid. I leave this matter to you, it will just sharpen your temperament."
Zhu Meng shook his head and said amusedly: "Your Highness gave you the name Zhu Jing because you have high hopes!"
After saying that, he ignored his troubled expression, quickened his pace, and left quickly.
"Your Highness, Commander Zhu wants to see you!"
Zhu Yixi was communicating with Sun Changzhou about the situation in Shaanxi Province. Hearing this, he couldn't help but order: "Let him come in!"
"Your Highness, Li Zicheng has gone to Gongchang Mansion and Lintao Mansion. He probably wants to go to Lanzhou to make plans for Shaanxi Xingdusi."
Sun Changzhou bent down and reported.
"Lanzhou!"
Zhu Yixi showed a smile: "Forget it, let him go. The northwest is barren and cannot support many people. Let him take care of himself for a while."
Shaanxi Province in the Ming Dynasty was so big that it included not only Ningxia, but also most of Gansu and Qinghai. If we really wanted to pursue it, it would only take a few years.
Li Zicheng, who has lost his spirit and old camp, has nothing to worry about.
"Closely monitor the three towns of Yulin, Ningxia and Guyuan. There are a huge number of military households and the collusion between the gentry is very deep. No mistakes can be made."
"Yes!" Sun Changzhou responded solemnly.
At this time, Zhu Meng also arrived in time, and the former slowly retreated, very consciously.
The secret agents and the army did not interfere with each other.
This is his principle.
Zhu Meng didn't take it seriously. He cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, public opinion is fierce, and there are undercurrents in the army. Some people even want to imitate the Northern Song Dynasty and join you in the yellow robe."
"Um?"
Zhu Yixi was surprised, and immediately said dissatisfied: "How can a warrior interfere with the ownership of the throne?"
"Yin Jian is not far from the four towns in Jiangbei."
"Feng Xianzong is a scholar, and all he does is write. You have to monitor me carefully. Such rebellious ideas must be suppressed."
Due to their merit in supporting Emperor Hongguang, the four towns in Jiangbei almost separatized the entire Jiangbei and were actually warlords. After witnessing it with his own eyes, Zhu Yixi also had a deeper understanding of the sudden destruction of Nanming.
Civil strife was the root cause of Nanming's demise.
"The last general takes command!"
Zhu Meng's rough voice sounded. For a long time, he looked hesitant before saying:
"Your Highness, although I know this is an unpleasant thing to say, I have to say that now is not a good opportunity to become emperor..."
King Yu turned his head sharply, his eyes burning like fire, making people tremble with fear.
Even Zhu Meng felt regretful at this moment and was trembling all over, as if his head would be at risk if he made the slightest move.
After a long time, King Yu said: "You are right."
The young prince walked lightly and smiled from the bottom of his heart: "In the past few days, among so many people, you have been flattering me and trying to persuade me to come forward, but you are the only one who dares to tell me the truth."
"good!"
Zhu Meng's tense heart suddenly dropped, his legs seemed to be a little weak, his clenched hands were loose, and his palms were full of sweat.
Zhu Yixi patted his shoulder affectionately and said: "Proclaiming yourself emperor requires a step-by-step approach. If you do it suddenly, the foundation will not be solid, and it will be easy to be misunderstood with bad intentions."
In fact, Sun Changzhou's trip was to report that Azig did not capture Emperor Hongguang and his chief minister Ma Shiying in Nanjing.
Moreover, Emperor Hongguang and Huang Degong seemed to be spotted near Taiping Mansion, which forced Zhu Yixi to think.
Of course, he could also learn from Liu Bei and directly open an altar for the funeral of the emperor thousands of miles away, but in the end, the issue of eating and appearance lies here.
The so-called popular sentiment refers to the property owners, that is, the landowners and landowners.
"Your Highness is wise!" Zhu Meng praised.
"Take your time!"
King Yu waved his hand and said: "At the critical moment, you can't make a mistake."
However, this public request from the military sounded the alarm for Zhu Yixi.
Although there is a Military Justice Department, it is obvious that there is not enough supervision over the military.
It seems that it is time for the military to arrange an internal inspection agency.
…
At this time, Xiangyang City also received a personal letter from King Yu.
Zhao Shu, Yan Chongxin, and Zhang Shenyan all agreed that proclaiming the emperor must be delayed.
Regardless of the emperor's life or death, he could not wait to proclaim himself emperor as soon as he learned of his disappearance.
Moreover, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still in the south at this time, so it was not a good time to rashly provoke him.
"Supervising the country can take the first step."
Zhao Shu said calmly: "The original King of Fortune started from supervising the country. His Highness's supervision of the country is a blessing to the court and the world."
Zhang Shenyan was the first to agree: "It is the right time to supervise the country, and it is extremely appropriate."
Yan Chongxin also nodded and said: "Now, neither the imperial court nor the local government is ready to welcome the new emperor."
"In this case, I will write everyone's opinions back to His Highness for review."
Zhao Shu said calmly, and then said something surprising.
At this moment, several people's faces immediately fell. If His Highness saw this and became a little narrow-minded, the consequences would be disastrous.
Several people looked at each other and sighed.
The meeting adjourned.
Zhao Shu returned to the Military and Political Department, summoned Hu Cao, and couldn't help but order: "Prepare 300,000 silver yuan, and no misappropriation is allowed."
"Li Cao, go find out all the etiquette about the emperor, and be proficient in it without making mistakes."
"Yes!" Several people looked confused and could only accept it.
Finally, Zhao Shu breathed a sigh of relief and clenched his fists: "I have finally waited for this day..."
