Dinghu Mountain, Qingyun Temple.
Ever since the city of Guangzhou entered the hot summer mode, Zhu Cijiong, the Eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, brought his increasingly larger harem team, accompanied by a small number of confidants, to this summer resort with pleasant scenery and cool climate to continue his work. And cured.
Yes, this is no longer about hanging up, but simply living a life of seclusion and lying down.
There is probably no founding emperor from ancient times who is more carefree than him.
Even Li Yuan, who relied on his son to make a fortune, still had to sacrifice a lot of time for personal enjoyment to deal with government affairs before the Xuanwumen incident.
And since this Zhu Cijiong came to Guangzhou, he has become the winner in life, and he can become the emperor on equal terms. Moreover, the three palaces and six courtyards that he dreamed of have gradually begun to be purchased... The three palaces do not have them, but the quota for the six courtyards is already full. It's not like in Jieyang, where a few brothel girls can handle the matter. After arriving in Guangzhou, the number of people under Zhu Heji's rule exceeded one million, and now there are three million!
Therefore, we can help the Third Prince Zhu choose a few ladies from the world to be his mistresses... Of course they are mistresses. Isn't it enough to have Zhu Hesi as his legitimate son?
Although Zhu Heji never mentioned this, the officials of the Zhongshu Provincial Department and the bachelors of the Academy of Sciences all knew it.
As long as the third prince Zhu can hold hands with the woman he likes every night and bring out a brood of children, he will be satisfied.
He doesn't care about whether he is a direct descendant or a concubine.
As for national affairs, he didn't even care. Anyway, Zhu Heji will arrange everything in order.
Even if Zhu Heji is not in Guangzhou, Mr. Yu, the left minister of Zhongshu Province, and Guo Youde, the right minister, as well as the following six ministers, twelve ministers and others, will handle government affairs in the slightest according to Zhu Heji's instructions. Not messy. Even if something happened, he would not bother King Zhu Tian who was just taking care of things. Instead, he would go to Zhu Heji on Huangpu Island or Haizhu Island to ask for instructions.
Therefore, Zhu Tianwang was happy to have some leisure time. He simply did not stay in Guangzhou and went to Dinghu Mountain in Zhaoqing to escape the summer heat and live his peaceful life... A winner in life, nothing more than that!
The winner in life played mahjong with Qiu Hui, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Eunuch Pang, the eunuch Bingbi, and Zhao Zhongyi, the governor of Guangdong last night. They played mahjong until late at night and lost several thousand taels of silver. I was still a little dizzy when I woke up early this morning. I was yawning with my head propped up on my hands and looking at the table of people nodding and losing appetite, when I heard the sound of rapid footsteps. Before King Zhu Tian had time to ask who it was, he saw the guard at the door lift the curtain, and eunuch Pang and a master named Wang Shiyuan from Dingwang Palace stepped in one after the other. One of them, Wang Shiyuan, walked in a hurry. When he entered the door, he was bumped by the threshold and almost fell.
"Supervise the country, supervise the country...His Royal Highness has gone to Dinghu Mountain!"
The one who spoke was Wang Shiyuan. He was the master that Eunuch Pang had found for King Zhu Tian... It was said that he was from Henan. He was in his thirties, tall and handsome, and he had been working in Fengyang Mansion when he was young. A monk. He can speak fluent Henan dialect and Fengyang dialect, and he also knows a lot about the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty. He can talk to King Zhu Tian very well - King Zhu Tian thinks that he is a talent and wants to recommend him to Zhu Heji. Become a high-ranking official. But this guy had no interest in being an official, so he just worked as a master for King Zhu Tian, copying and writing, and just messing around for a while, which was very satisfying.
He was such a dawdling person, but he seemed very flustered for some reason today, and his voice was trembling when he spoke.
King Zhu Tian was also panicked now. What happened? Shai Zai lost the battle? No way...I never heard of sending troops!
Moreover, Shuai Zai doesn't follow martial ethics when fighting. He blasts him with a thunderbolt before he attacks. How can he be defeated in this way?
At this time, Eunuch Pang finally followed in panting.
King Zhu Tian saw him and asked quickly: "Mr. Factory, what happened?"
"No, it's nothing...it's just that the prince went up the mountain." Eunuch Pang said, "He came here on a fast horse."
"Then, there's something wrong..." King Zhu Tian said this, and then pointed at Wang Shiyuan, who looked panicked, "What does it have to do with him?"
"No, it doesn't matter." Eunuch Pang seemed a little guilty and shook his head repeatedly, "It doesn't matter at all."
King Zhu Tian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "That's good...ask Shai Zai to come over for breakfast."
...
Zhu Heji came to Dinghu Mountain after a long journey. Of course, he came to ask the third prince Zhu to come forward and meet Liu Jinzhong.
On his way to Dinghu Mountain, when passing through Guangdong, he also sent Fengmingshan to Ganzhou Prefecture with his own handwritten letter, asking Liu Jinzhong to meet and have a secret meeting at Meiguan at the junction of Nanxiong Prefecture and Nan'an Prefecture.
"What? You want Liu Jinzhong to trick Geng Jingzhong to death? But the Geng family is kind to Liu Jinzhong!" King Zhu Tian immediately shook his head when he heard Zhu Heji's words, "Liu Jinzhong is not such an unloyal person... ...If you want to force him to defect, send troops to force him, it will probably happen. But if you want him to trick Geng Jingzhong like this, my father is afraid that he won't do it!"
In a living room in Qingyun Temple, King Zhu Tian, who was having breakfast, immediately shook his head after hearing his son's plan.
"What does Geng Jingzhong's kindness to him mean? My grandfather, Emperor Wei Miao, was so kind to him! Abba, you are the third prince of Zhu. If you come forward, he will definitely listen to us... Well... Well, these wontons are pretty good!”
Zhu Heji hurried all the way, so he ate randomly at dawn, and then rode into the mountains before the temperature came up. He was already hungry, so he ate wontons while talking.
Looking at his son who was devouring food, King Zhu Tian didn't know what to say... So is Emperor Chongzhen your grandfather? If that were true, that would be no problem. The kindness of the Geng family is just the icing on the cake for Liu Jinzhong. He can't be the commander-in-chief, but he still has deputy generals.
But Chongzhen's kindness to Liu Jinzhong is equivalent to reincarnation! Without Emperor Chongzhen promoting him to be a minor official in the Yongwei camp, how could he survive the troubled times of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties? His name of "Jin Zhong" was changed at that time!
Moreover, Liu Jinzhong has already repaid a lot for the Geng family's favor in promoting Liu Jinzhong. He fought many tough battles for Geng Jimao in his early years. But what about Chongzhen’s kindness? Has he reported it?
"Sai Zai, my father is Prince Zhu San..."
He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was already written on his face - imaginary!
Although Zhu Tianwang's identity has attacked multiple authentication. But the problem is that Liu Jinzhong was born in the Yongwei camp and was a servant of the emperor. He had met Emperor Chongzhen himself, and maybe he had met the real Prince Zhu San!
Moreover, Liu Jinzhong's team is the old foundation of the Yongwei Camp. There are many old brothers from the Yongwei Camp, and it is inevitable that some of them have met the real Prince Zhu.
King Zhu Tian's dignity is said to belong to the Tang family, so there is no problem at all. To say that he is the son of Chongzhen is really a return to his ancestors.
"Abba, if he joins us, he can be regarded as the founding hero of the country!" Zhu Heji swallowed two wontons in one mouthful and said with a smile, "Besides, we are all descendants of Emperor Taizu. Who can we be loyal to?"
The identity of King Zhu Tian's third prince Zhu is not true, but the identity of Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants is absolutely true.
He paused, then smiled and said: "Let's make him a hereditary and irreplaceable marquis... If it doesn't work, we can increase the money and give him one hundred thousand taels of silver. Is that okay?"
King Zhu Tian frowned, "Then what if he refuses to agree to it?"
When asked by King Zhu Tian, Zhu Heji didn't know what to say. Did they send troops to kill Liu Jinzhong? While he was in a daze, Eunuch Pang who was accompanying him suddenly spoke: "Third Prince, Nan (I) will accompany you on this trip. Nan and Liu Jinzhong are old acquaintances, and Nan's adoptive father was When his benefactor Huang Zongrong saw Da Jue from the Royal Horse Supervisor, he had to call him "ancestor"."
"By the way," Zhu Heji slapped his thigh, "There is also Huang Degong... I gave him the posthumous title of Duke of Jingguo and the posthumous title of Zhongwu!"
