December 24th.
The specific date of the Jiugongshan Heroes Meeting was finally determined today. After repeated discussions between Zhu Heji and Liu Xuanchu who visited Nanchang, it was finally decided that the Heroes' Meeting would be officially held on the second day of February in the third year of King Ding's supervision of the country or the forty-seventh year of Chongzhen!
The specific location for the heroic meeting was chosen at Ruiqing Palace, a Taoist holy land on Jiugong Mountain.
Heroes also need the protection of gods!
At that time, not only Zhu Heji and Wu Sangui would have to attend in person, but Prince Zhu San, who was far away in Guangzhou, would also have to come to Ruiqing Palace in Jiugong Mountain to discuss state affairs with the heroes of the world.
After discussing the country's affairs, Prince Zhu San still had to form an alliance with Wu Sangui to fight against the Qing Dynasty.
After the two sides formed an alliance, Wu Sangui would also persuade Prince Zhu to join the alliance and persuade him to take over the legal system left by Emperor Chongzhen and ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
As long as the third prince Zhu accepts Wu Sangui's persuasion to join, it means that Wu Sangui has completed the "Chongzhen Edict", his merits have been completed, and he has been officially cleared. Then he can go to Jingzhou City and become his Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty... It's really unfair!
The alliance between the Ming and Zhou Dynasties will continue to be maintained until the Qing Yao is completely driven out of the Great Wall.
The above conditions had actually been agreed upon by both parties before the Heroes Meeting began.
Only when an agreement is reached can the meeting begin!
If the heroes quarreled and fought at the meeting, wouldn't it be a joke to Qing Yao?
Moreover, Zhu Heji and Wu Sangui already knew that Kang Mazi was also preparing to hold a Nanjing Heroes Meeting... and it was estimated that it would be a minion meeting.
But the minion skills are more beautiful than the fighting skills!
How good would it look to see the "heroes" of various provinces under the Qing Dynasty sticking their butts out and kowtowing to Kangxi?
So these days, in addition to training troops, giving lectures, and handling government affairs, Zhu Heji was busy meeting and discussing with Liu Xuanchu, Wu Sangui's representative.
Today we finally reached an agreement.
Because the New Year was approaching, Liu Xuanchu was anxious to return to Jingzhou to celebrate the New Year, so he left Nanchang City on the day when the agreement was reached, while Zhu Heji sent him twenty miles away in person. When he returned to his camp in Nanchang City, it was almost dark.
"Your Majesty, your aunt is here!"
As soon as they walked into the courtyard, Zhu Heji met Pang Siming, the minister in charge and the attendant...it was Eunuch Pang's godson, Pang Siming, known as the "little father-in-law". Now he not only kept his "little brother", but also He is also married to "Bai Fumei" and recently gave birth to a son!
Eunuch Pang has become a grandfather this time, and he has a successor for his nine thousand year old career.
"Auntie is here?" Zhu Heji was startled by Pang Siming's words.
Isn't his good aunt Dabo Ling? She is pregnant! And counting the days, giving birth this month is considered premature, and giving birth next month will be just right. Why are you here in Nanchang now? Coming with a big belly? impossible! Could it be that she had a miscarriage?
The thought of "miscarriage" made Zhu Heji very distressed. I don't feel sorry for the child, but I feel sorry for my aunt. My aunt's body looks fertile, but I don't know why, but it's not easy to get pregnant.
Qiu Shuzhen and Bei Jiaxin both "touched" each other a few times, but it took a long time to work with her... If this "fails", it may be more difficult in the future!
And "miscarriage" has a great impact on a woman's body!
Thinking of this, Zhu Heji's face turned green, "She, where is she?"
"In the Cunxin Hall." Pang Siming was still smiling, not in a hurry, and still wanted to say something. Zhu Heji had already galloped towards the Cunxin Hall in Prince Ning's Mansion, which had been in disrepair for a long time. valley
Cunxin Hall is one of the three main halls of the Ming Dynasty palace and is the office of the vassal king. The other two main halls of Prince Ning's Mansion have collapsed, but the Cunxin Hall is still there. It was occupied by an official office of the Qing Dynasty and can still be maintained to some extent, so Zhu Heji now works and works in the main hall of Cunxin Hall. Receive guests.
Although Prince Ning's Mansion was very large, Zhu Heji, who was galloping on horseback, quickly arrived outside the Cunxin Hall. The minister on duty at Cunxin Hall today was Zhao Desheng. He heard the sound of horse hooves and came out of it. He saw Zhu Heji Just as he got off his horse, he walked up to him, bowed, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, your aunt is here..."
"I got it!" Zhu Heji didn't talk nonsense to him, threw the reins directly, and then ran into the Cunxin Hall, shouting loudly as he ran back: "Aunt, aunt, why are you here? My child... ....Where is aunt? Where is aunt?"
Where is the aunt?
I saw that the huge Cunxin Hall was empty. There were two people sitting on both sides of a long table in the hall, and two people standing behind one of them.
One of the two people sitting was Yang Qilong, and the other seemed to be a nun...a nun in white with a noble temperament and extremely beautiful appearance, about forty years old.
"Your Majesty," Yang Qilong stood up with a smile, then pointed at the nun who was still sitting upright and said, "This is your aunt."
"My aunt..." Zhu Heji thought to himself: "Besides Da Bo Ling, do I have other aunts?"
Just when he thought of this, Zhu Heji saw that the nun's left sleeve was empty, and there seemed to be no arm inside!
This is a one-armed nun...Nine Difficulties?
"You, you are Master Jiu Nan?" Zhu Heji blurted out.
"Nine Difficulties?" The female nun was stunned, "I was ordained as a nun just for the convenience of walking. I am not really a monk, so I don't have a fixed dharma title... But I don't remember ever taking the Nine Difficulties as a nun. Walking in the name of the emperor, did the emperor’s nephew remember it wrong?”
"Are you..." Zhu Heji looked at the smiling nun, "Are you Princess Changping? No, aren't you already dead?"
Yang Qilong at the side took Zhu Heji's question and said: "Master, there are many Ming Dynasty ministers in Beijing. The princess was determined to escape after mourning the death of the emperor. She first asked the Qing court to become a monk, and then married after failure. She gave it to Zhou's prince-in-law, and then faked her death to escape. After the princess escaped, she pretended to be tonsured and hid in a temple and nunnery, secretly taken care of by her late father and several other loyal loyalties."
The "Emperor Mourning" mentioned by Yang Qilong was Zhu Cixiang, the eldest son of Chongzhen. The "father" he was talking about was a member of the Chong family of Zhangwu Bo Yang's family. He did not receive a title, but he held an important position in the Jinyi Guards.
When Li Zicheng and Dorgon successively entered Beijing, in order to stabilize the situation in Beijing in the shortest time, they both adopted the policy of pretending to recruit Jin Yiwei at the beginning. Therefore, Yang Qilong's father was given time to transfer assets and lurk in the dark.
In the city of Beijing at that time, there were still some remnants who were still loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Especially after Dorgon's evil laws such as land enclosure, house occupation, surrender, and escape were introduced one by one, they appeared around Beijing. A group of Ming loyalists who wanted to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. The second rebellion of Prince Zhu San in the second year of Kangxi took place in Zhili.
These people even started an uprising in Zhili territory, and it was not impossible to cover the escape of a subjugated princess.
Moreover, Dorgon also wanted to coax the fleeing Chongzhen disciples into surrendering themselves by "preferential treatment" to Princess Changping. Moreover, at that time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty engaged in large-scale house occupation and land enclosure in Beijing and the surrounding areas of Beijing, and a large number of Han people were expelled. , it would not be difficult for Princess Changping to sneak out of Beijing.
"Since Military Advisor Yang has testified, it must be right!" Zhu Heji glanced at Yang Qilong, and then hugged his fists at the nun in white, "My nephew Zhu Heji has seen my aunt... My aunt is out there. It’s been a lot of suffering for many years!”
After saying this, he took a seat next to Yang Qilong with great dignity.
The nun in white smiled and said: "No matter how hard it is, it's not as hard as your father and son rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty in Guangdong! By the way, when will your father come to Jiangxi? I haven't seen him for more than 20 years."
Haven’t seen each other for more than 20 years? Zhu Hexin said: "That's not all, you siblings have never met before! I don't know if this nun still remembers what his brother looks like?"
Thinking of this, Zhu Heji turned his head and looked at Yang Qilong. Yang Qilong smiled and said: "Sir, it has not been easy for Your Highness the Princess these years. It has also been easier for the brothers in Beizhili and Shanxi who insist on resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty! Just Yongli During the Zhili Uprising in 16 years, many of us died!"
Zhu Heji understood now!
It turns out that Princess Changping is here to ask for an explanation... to ask for an explanation for those martyrs in the north who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty and died at the hands of the Qing court!
Since King Zhu Tian and Zhu Heji have taken over the throne of Prince Zhu, they cannot just take the benefits without taking responsibility.
