"Brother Li, can you really bring this boy Kewang to meet you?"
"Yes, that's what Long Live Master said...Bingzhong, do you really only have a godson named Kewang?"
"Huh? Godson? You don't even have a godson, and Kewang isn't your godson either!"
"Isn't it? But Long live the Lord said yes!"
"Then, that's it! Kewang, from now on you will be the one to fuck Ada, and you will be Zhang Kewang! Come on, call Ada!"
"Ah, Ada..."
In the Imperial City of Xi'an, outside the Chengyun Hall, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang, who were waiting to be received by Emperor Zhu Youjian, were talking quietly. As he talked, he referred to Sun Kewang as Zhang Kewang. Zhang Xianzhong was happy to be a father, and Sun Kewang also had a father for no reason. It was really gratifying and congratulatory!
Of course the father and son were happy, but Li Zicheng's face darkened, looking a little worried. It turns out that his nephew Li Guo recently got a fat boy named Li Laizhong. This kid has to stop calling Li his uncle! They are all uncles, but they don’t have a son and a half daughters yet, and there is still no movement in his wife’s belly! Are you in a hurry? If Li Zicheng had married the daughter of an ordinary family, he could still have a concubine if he could not have a son, but he happened to marry the daughter of a Fengguo lieutenant.
That is Lord Long Live's distant cousin, and that girl is Lord Long Live's distant cousin! Long Live Lord sometimes calls Li Zicheng his cousin-in-law!
Li Zicheng felt that he could achieve great success all because he married the emperor's distant cousin. How could he dare to divorce his wife and remarry? You don’t even dare to ask for your little wife!
Just when Li Zicheng was worried about having no son, Wu Sangui, who had just returned to Zhu Youjian as a student and an official, had already led Liu Chao, the eunuch who supervised the Dongchang (Zhu Youjian's new official position), out quickly. ——Liu Chao is Zhu Youjian's professional house confiscator. Of course, he is indispensable for taking over the task of Prince Qin's palace this time.
Zhu Youjian's move to eliminate the vassals of the Qin Mansion this time was really lightning fast. Before he arrived at Tongguan Guard, no one knew about it. Therefore, there were vassal kings from all over the world on the side of the Qin Mansion and the imperial court. No one has time to react... If they have time to react, this thing might go wrong.
After all, the Prince of Qin's Palace had nothing wrong... Don't make any excuses for robbing civilian girls, occupying civilian fields, occupying military villages, etc. in Xi'an. These are not a problem to the Ming Dynasty vassal king.
Last time, the king lost his mind and wrote a memorial to curse the emperor. This is a big deal!
And that Prince Fu was unlucky enough to be pushed out to succeed Zhu Youjian's throne. This was a fatal event!
Zhu Youjian did not throw them into the high wall of Fengyang, but only deprived them of their palace and property. This was already a great favor from the emperor, and no one would say anything or dare to say anything. It's too late to hide from this kind of thing, who dares to get involved?
However, the Prince of Qin's Mansion did not have any of these fatal matters. It was just that the Crown Prince of Qin (the actual Prince of Qin) died and there was no son to succeed him.
I don’t have a son, but I still have brothers!
Zhu Youjian himself was the emperor's younger brother who ascended the throne. How could he not let Qin Shizi's younger brother succeed?
Therefore, although Zhu Youjian's approach is in line with the "ancestral precepts of the Emperor Ming", it is actually a bit unkind. Moreover, the ancestor of the Qin vassal was Zhu Yuanzhang's second son - this was the number one vassal in the world!
Therefore, this matter must be cut quickly. As soon as Zhu Youjian entered the Qin King's vassal mansion, he immediately sent troops to seal the treasury and account rooms, and also placed all the eunuchs in charge under house arrest. All the princes of the Qin Prince's Mansion, including Prince Ziyang, were also under house arrest.
The account books of the Prince of Qin's Mansion are currently being reviewed by Widow Xu and her professional accountant, and many errors have been found (how can a group of eunuchs who make fake accounts withstand the inspection of a professional Shanxi merchant accountant?). So Liu Chao was called to see Zhu Youjian, and then took the list sent by Widow Xu to pick up the people... Oh, it doesn't necessarily take the people, you can also choose to exchange food for indulgences. If hundreds of thousands of stones can be dug out, the situation in the five towns of Shaanxi can be stabilized.
After Wu Sangui sent Liu Chao out of the hall, he said goodbye to him, and then said to Li Zicheng, "Li Youqi, long live the Lord asked you to bring Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang to the hall with me to see you."
Zhang Xianzhong on the side heard this and said with a smile: "This little general, Sun Kewang has now become Zhang Kewang... He has recognized Edu as Gan Ada."
"Dry Ada?" Wu Sangui was stunned, "Is there any wet Ada?"
Of course there is! If a dry ada falls into the water, it will become a wet ada. If it is not picked up in time, it may be dead.
However, neither Li Zicheng nor Zhang Xianzhong responded, and Wu Sangui didn't ask any more questions, because the three people in front of him made him disgusted - and he didn't know why he was disgusted? Anyway, I just don’t like it!
And Li Zicheng also disliked Wu Sangui...but no matter how displeasing he was, he still had to become an official.
Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui now both have the rank of Qianhu, and their subordinate units are guerrillas. They can lead a battalion of 500 cavalry with cavalry, and can lead a battalion of 1,000 people in the infantry. With their current age and the degree of favor they enjoy around Zhu Youjian, even if they cannot be knighted in the future, they can still become the left governor and the chief military officer.
So these two are currently very loyal!
And Zhang Xianzhong is also loyal now. He joined the former army without taking the test, and he was not an infantryman, but was directly given to a knight, with 500 acres of land and an annual salary of 30 taels... Yes It's just Zhang Xianzhong, this salary is already high enough.
Moreover, Chen Hongfan, the "divine fortune teller", has said that he, Zhang Xianzhong, will either be a loyal person or a traitor... This is his destiny!
How to live your life, choose one of the two!
But looking at the infantry in front of the camp singing war songs while marching, and thinking about the heroic appearance of the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty challenging the first warrior of Mongolia, Zhang Xianzhong felt that it would be better for him to choose to be Zhongliang... Besides, Who would want to be a traitor when he can be a loyal and loyal person who is rich and prosperous?
And being a rebel doesn’t mean you can be a rebel emperor!
Now in Shaanxi, there are 36 people who are rebelling against the king. Even if Zhang Xianzhong goes there, he won’t be able to be ranked among them! It's better to follow the little emperor and be a loyal person... Now the little emperor asked him to be a loyal person. Wouldn't he be a fool if he didn't?
...
Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Zhang Kewang had already entered the Chengyun Hall. Wu Sangui walked to Zhu Youjian and stood next to him, holding his sword in his hand and looking at Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Zhang Kewang with bright eyes.
Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Kewang knelt in a row in front of Zhu Youjian's case and shouted together: "I respectfully wish His Majesty the Emperor to be in peace."
"Pingshen." Zhu Youjian smiled and waved to the three of them.
The three of them were not polite, they all stood up and stood in front of Zhu Youjian respectfully.
Zhu Youjian's eyes swept back and forth over the faces of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong - I didn't know how much I wanted to get these two heads in my previous life, but unfortunately, I didn't succeed until the power returned to the treacherous son.
It's fine now, they are all Ming Zhongliang!
Then Zhu Youjian saw Zhang Kewang again and asked with a smile: "Young man, are you Sun Kewang?"
"Ah, Your Majesty, my name is Zhang Kewang now." Zhang Kewang is also a bold child. Facing Zhu Youjian, a ninety-five-year-old man, he is not at all panicked or polite, and he looks at him with a smile. other side.
"My name is Zhang Kewang...does he recognize Zhang Xianzhong as his godfather?"
"Yes!" Zhang Kewang nodded, "I just recognized my father..."
"Okay," Zhu Youjian asked with a smile, "Are you willing to serve the court?"
Serving the imperial court?
Although Zhang Kewang is young, he is the son of a poor man who has already become the head of the family! I know the benefits of being an eagle dog!
As soon as he heard this, he knelt down to Zhu Youjian, "Long live Lord, Zhang Kewang has long wanted to be the eagle dog of the imperial court. Long live Lord, I don't mind that I am young, so I will work hard for Long live Lord!"
"Hahaha," Zhu Youjian nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I plan to set up another youth army under the Zhangqian Army to recruit a group of lonely teenagers between the ages of 10 and 15, teach them loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and teach them civility, Taoism and martial arts. strategy and teach them the art of battle formation.
Zhang Xianzhong, you trained Zhang Kewang very well. He knew at a young age that he would serve as a hawk for the court. It seems that you are good at raising children. This is your specialty... Great! Otherwise, you should first serve in the Youth Army and become a coach of the Youth Army! Select orphaned young men for me and teach them martial arts and the principles of loyalty and filial piety! "
After Zhang Xianzhong heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded - why did his specialty become taking care of children? In his previous life, he was Long Live the Great West, now he becomes the King of Children of the Ming Dynasty?
