Zhu San's grandson Zhu Heji's Latin teacher Bei Jiaxin is in a good mood these days, but he also has some worries.
She was in a good mood because she was going to get married soon, to a reasonably satisfactory husband. His character and knowledge are both top-notch. He also has an increasingly prosperous family business, and his background is noble enough. She is the heir to the throne of the Ming Dynasty, and is a step above her cousin Zheng Jing!
And those troubles are that her husband actually has a wife, and there are more than one. Before she married, Zhu Heji already had two wives, and they were still pretty and extremely competitive wives. The eldest wife Qiu Shuzhen and the second wife Ye Yuling are both beauties in the world. Even Bei Jiaxin, who has been extremely confident in her appearance since she was a child, cannot guarantee that she can surpass those two in beauty.
Putting aside her face, her body alone is not as graceful as Ye Yuling!
In fact, before she came here, she was serving Zhu Heji, serving as a Latin teacher and a laboratory assistant. It can be said that she was very close to Zhu Heji. But this bearded man has always guarded the defense between men and women and did not "push" her... The reason for this, in addition to Zhu Heji's noble character, is probably because of Ye Yuling's existence!
Seeing that Ye Yuling finally got pregnant and refused to let Zhu Heji touch her, Qiu Shuzhen, the eldest wife of Zhu Dasheng, came in after her confinement.
Although Qiu Shuzhen is the "eldest" wife, she is not very old. She is several years younger than Ye Yuling and about the same as Bei Jiaxin.
Qiu Shuzhen is very beautiful, young, and has a good family background - she is only the cousin of King Yanping, but she is the daughter of the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the sister of the Governor of the Navy!
And she’s also the original wife! How do you ask Teacher Bei to compete?
It is said that with her words, Ye Yuling, who was favored by Zhu Heji, would also obey the law.
Amidst the crackling sound of firecrackers, Bei Jiaxin, who was covered with a red hijab and being supported by two old ladies to salute Zhu Heji, Qiu Shuzhen and Ye Yuling, felt very anxious at this moment. of.
For fear of offending Mrs. Qiu, she would do the same thing as Da Bo Ling... But when her aunt, Mrs. Dong, taught her the "three obediences and four virtues" of traditional Chinese culture, she repeatedly emphasized that she must compete with Qiu Shuzhen and Da Bo Ling for favor.
Because she married Zhu Heji on behalf of the Yanping Palace! Behind her is the Yanping Palace, the "Hu Jian Gang" in the Ming Dynasty. Qiu Shuzhen and Ye Yuling are both Chaozhou people, and behind the two women are the powerful Chaozhou gang.
If Bei Jiaxin is suppressed by the two of them, then the "Hu Jian Gang" will always be suppressed by the Chaozhou Gang and cannot stand up, and the Yanping Palace will also lose its current honorable status.
Although the words of her aunt, Mrs. Dong, sounded reasonable, Bei Jiaxin still didn't know how to compete with those two women who were as beautiful as herself and whose status was greater than hers. Is it possible to discuss mathematics and natural law issues with Prince Zhu?
Just as she thought of this, Aoi Saiwu's voice suddenly rang out: "The Crown Princess, the second lady, and the third lady are here."
Hearing the voice of this "blue maid", Bei Jiaxin's beautiful eyebrows twisted into a small ball... This girl with a baby face and a very graceful body seems to be very capable of pleasing the prince. I like it!
There is really a blockade in front and a pursuer behind!
Bei Jiaxin, who was wearing a red hijab, had been helped into a hall. Just as she was about to salute the eldest lady Qiu Shuzhen and the second lady Ye Yuling, she heard Ye Yuling speak.
"Third sister, the Crown Prince has guests to meet. I don't know when he will be able to come over. You should bow to the Crown Princess first, and then offer a bowl of tea...I will tell you about the family rules of the Crown Prince's Mansion!"
Then came Qiu Shuzhen's deliberately majestic voice: "The family rules in the Crown Prince's Mansion are very strict. You have to be careful. Don't be like Sister Ling, who is always punished by the Crown Prince!"
Punishment?
Bei Jiaxin asked timidly: "Is the prince very fierce?"
"It's cruel!" Ye Yuling said kindly, "It's terrible! Third sister, you must be careful!"
. . . . . .
"Your Majesty, Xuan Ye is coming with great force this time. It can be said that he has mobilized the whole country's troops. The President also feels that he is not sure of victory, so I hope you can lead your troops to sneak to southern Gansu so that Qing Yao can be caught by surprise at the critical moment. ...
The president also said that the surname Zhu and Wu can be reserved for the future, but the surname must not be Aisin Gioro, otherwise the two surnames Zhu and Wu will not be buried! "
On Zhu Heji's second happy day, it was Wu Sangui's adviser Liu Xuanchu who came to talk about the "burial ground".
He came from Jingzhou after a long journey with a congratulatory gift and Wu Sangui's personal letter in the name of Wu Sangui's congratulatory envoy.
Zhu Heji had already read Wu Sangui's autographed letter, and then showed it to the two great military advisers Zhuge Sanhe and Yang Qilong.
The main content of the letter is just one, asking for an alliance to jointly deal with the Qing Dynasty!
Moreover, Wu Sangui also proposed to invite the great Confucian king Chuanshan who lived in seclusion in Hunan, the great Confucian Huang Zongxi who lived in seclusion in Zhejiang, and Gu Yanwu, Zhu Shunshui, and Qu Dajun from Zhu Heji's side to come forward to preside over the peace conference and promote the formal alliance between the two families to fight against the Qing Dynasty.
"Hmph, Uncle Ping Xi has been a Manchu demon leader for so many years, and now he is acting as an anti-Qing patriot? He still wants to be on an equal footing with my third prince. Is his calculation too accurate?"
The person who raised objections was Zhuge Sanhe, who was famous all over the world. His objection is of course justified. Wu Sangui's wishful thinking is too precise...much more accurate than Geng Jingjing's loyalty!
Now he not only wanted to force Zhu Heji to send troops to Jiangxi to help him defeat Kangxi. Moreover, he also wanted to use the opportunity of forming an anti-Qing alliance to gain equal status with Prince Zhu.
Although Wu Sangui had never admitted that he was a subordinate of Prince Zhu Third, after all, he started the army in the name of "Following" Chongzhen's posthumous edict.
The content of Chongzhen's edict was to ask him to "support King Cijiong and revive the Ming Dynasty." However, the specific "support method" was not specified in the edict, and it could not be specified.
So now that Wu Sangui and Prince Zhu San have formed an alliance to fight against the Qing Dynasty and "divide the south of the Yangtze River equally", does this count as supporting King Ding and reviving the Ming Dynasty?
If the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu agreed to form an alliance with Wu Sangui, wouldn't that mean that "allying against the Qing Dynasty and dividing Jiangnan equally" would be regarded as "supporting King Ding and reviving the Ming Dynasty"?
In this way, Wu Sangui would be able to gain equal status with Prince Zhu III, and then successfully establish his own legal authority... If Wu Sangui could win the Battle of Huguang and seize Wuchang, he would be able to claim the throne and found the country in Wuchang.
They could even maintain their alliance with the Ming Dynasty after proclaiming themselves emperor and establishing their country, and they could deal with the Qing Dynasty together!
Liu Xuanchu nodded with a smile and said: "Of course the president's calculations are very good. Otherwise, how could we have today's status? However, the alliance between the two families to fight against the Qing Dynasty is in line with the common good of the world! The Qing demon is a public nuisance to the world, of course we We should first eliminate public harm, and then strive for private interests... If we can't even do this, how can we say that the world is for the public?"
"Hmph!" Zhuge Sanhe snorted coldly, but he didn't know how to refute Liu Xuanchu - it seemed that he didn't know how to use his ancestors' "war of words"!
"This alliance can be formed!" Zhu Hejie had already made a decision at this time, "But it cannot be led by Huang Zongxi, Wang Chuanshan, Gu Yanwu, Zhu Shunshui, and Qu Dajun... I have to lead them. !”
This is the right to speak!
The right to speak in the world is what the original Confucians must fight for!
And agreeing to Wu Sangui's request and occupying the moral high ground was also to fight for the right to speak.
"Okay!" Liu Xuanchu nodded immediately, "The president will definitely agree to this."
In fact, Wu Sangui couldn't invite Wang Chuanshan and Huang Zongxi at all... Only Zhu Heji could invite these two.
"In addition," Zhu Heji said again, "after I arrive in Ganzhou, I want to get a Wu family member as a hostage!"
The Wu family was thin, and Wu Sangui's brothers were basically killed by Li Zicheng. And he doesn't have many descendants, only two sons and few grandsons.
Therefore, a Wu family hostage is much more valuable than a Shang family hostage.
"This..." Liu Xuanchu thought for a while, "Okay! I can agree, and the president should also agree. Master, today is a good day for you to get married, so Liu won't bother you anymore. This specific covenant will be discussed slowly by me and Mr. Yang, okay?"
Oh, Zhu Heji then remembered that there will be wedding flowers and candles today!
It is really not easy to be a saint and a prince. He is dedicated to serving the country and the people. Even in the good days of taking concubines, he has to be busy with the anti-Qing cause for a long time... I wonder if Teacher Bei is asleep?
