On the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month of the third year of the reign of King Ding of the Ming Dynasty, security suddenly became tight outside Zhangjiang Gate in Nanchang Fucheng. Early in the morning, a brigade of officers and soldiers from the First Town of the Ming Army drove over from the military camp outside Hue Gate of Nanchang City carrying long spears and turtle-dove-foot muskets.
A whole town, more than ten thousand elite soldiers, surrounded Zhangjiang Gate and the nearby Ganjiang Wharf inside and out. Moreover, under the pretext of discovering Manchu assassins, martial law was implemented inside and outside Zhangjiang Gate.
No one is allowed in or out!
What Zhu Heji wanted to do was because he was about to deal with a rather troublesome matter.
Today is the day when his most respected father, the former Prince Zhu, the current King of the Prison, and the future Ming Dynasty's "Lying Win Emperor" Zhu Cijiong, arrived in Nanchang City... And here in Nanchang, there are The eldest princess Changping of the Ming Dynasty, who had been separated from the future "Ming Dynasty Sect" for many years, was the "Jiu Nan Master Tai" who had returned to secular life (although Princess Changping did not admit that she had the title of "Nine Nans", Zhu Heji secretly How can I call her below), waiting to recognize his brother and sister.
But these siblings know each other...can they recognize them?
What if you can’t recognize it? What if the "Nine Difficulties Master" does not recognize the legitimacy of the "Ming Lie Sect"?
Although the "Ming Dynasty Sect" and Zhu Heji already had the strength they could pull off, the Jiugongshan Conference was about to begin... Zhu Heji had already made an agreement with Wu Sangui's representative, Liu Xuanchu, and Wu Sangui would He wanted to persuade the third prince Zhu to become emperor in order to complete the "Chongzhen Legacy Edict".
Then the "Ming Dynasty Sect" can accept the support of heroes from all over the world in Ruiqing Palace on Jiugong Mountain and ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
Now the "auspiciousness" is all ready for the "Ming Lying Sect"! If this brother and sister figure out something is wrong, they will be in big trouble.
Moreover, Zhu Heji was a kind-hearted person and could not bear to harm Emperor Chongzhen's only child who was still alive.
Zhu Dashanren, who was sitting in a pavilion outside Zhangjiang Gate, couldn't help but glance at his Yubing cousin again. What he saw was a delicate face like white jade, with an elegant and charming smile hanging on her face, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be... The talking eyes are also looking at Zhu Heji. After looking at Zhu Heji, her pretty face turned red with embarrassment, and she even pretended to hide behind her mother, Princess Changping.
This kind of coquettishness and shyness made Zhu Heji like her from the bottom of his heart... And these days, Zhu Heji often met this Yubing cousin. This cousin Yu Bing is very interested in poetry, lyrics and music. She is a literary young woman who is capable of both literary and martial arts.
And Zhu Heji happened to be a "great poet", so he "borrowed" a few poems by Nalan Xingde, and then selected some jewelry from the seized treasures and gave them to Yubing's cousin. It seemed that he had won the little girl's favor. Heart.
However, it is still a bit inappropriate to keep Princess Changping's daughter young.
Fortunately, Princess Changping had already said that she would have a good marriage to make when she met her brother, Prince Zhu San, and told him not to be anxious!
Zhu Heji thought to himself: "Needless to say, this is a good relationship. I must marry my cousin Yubing as my little wife... Look, what a good Princess Changping is! How can she harm her?"
But Zhu Cijiong's appearance has changed a lot over the years, and his accent has also changed. I wonder if Princess Changping can accept it?
Thinking of this, Zhu Heji couldn't help but glance at Princess Changping, who was wearing a bright red shirt, a Ming Dynasty princess phoenix crown on her head, and a black long sword hanging from her waist.
This future mother-in-law looks a bit fierce!
Zhu Heji turned to look at Yang Qilong again, and Yang Qilong smiled at him and patted his chest again.
Of course, there is a tacit understanding between Zhu Heji and Yang Qilong. Zhu Heji never said that he was a "fake and high imitation of Zhu San's grandson", and Yang Qilong always thought that Zhu Heji was the real Zhu San's grandson - there are some things that are difficult for everyone to step down if they are exposed, but it is beneficial to everyone if they are not exposed.
I wonder if Princess Changping has such wisdom?
"Crackling..."
At this time, the sound of firecrackers suddenly started loudly, followed by the sound of blowing, beating and beating drums.
Zhu Heji turned his head and looked at the nearby Ganjiang River. It turned out that the official ship on which Prince Zhu was riding had arrived at the pier outside Zhangjiangmen at some unknown time.
These days the south wind blows strongly on the Ganjiang River, and it’s a good time to set sail northward!
Therefore, following the Third Prince Zhu north from Ganzhou Prefecture was a whole transport fleet. Hundreds of wooden boats lined up in a long queue on the river. At this moment, they were lowering anchors and lowering sails - this fleet would A large amount of weapons and equipment and Guangdong recruits will be sent to the new army in the six towns in Jiangxi.
After receiving these equipment and new recruits, Jiangxi's six-town new army will fully form combat effectiveness! Moreover, the total military strength will also increase from 60,000 to 72,000.
And among the 12,000 newly arrived people, there were also 3,000 sailors from Guangdong and Fujian.
With them, Zhu Heji's navy town would have the strength to fight against Shi Lang.
...
Amidst the sound of firecrackers and drum music, Zhu Heji's heart ached - because a "Dragon Robe Guan Erye" had swaggered out of the low cabin.
Zhu Heji hurriedly turned to look at Princess Changping. Princess Changping was also stunned for a moment, and then she stood up from the chair and cried loudly. Her very enchanting female apprentice Yang Xiaoqi quickly went up to help her. He picked up the master, and then the master and the apprentice walked together to the official ship where King Zhu Tian was riding.
Zhu Heji also quickly stood up and followed Princess Changping to greet King Zhu Tian. Yang Qilong and Zhou Yubing glanced at each other and immediately stood up to follow them.
"Third brother...sister, I can finally see you!"
Before Princess Changping came to King Zhu Tian, she was crying loudly and calling her third brother... These cries and shouts were so sincere!
"Sister, second sister, I have finally met you!"
Then King Zhu Tian also cried, as if he was really seeing his second sister.
The two siblings who met for the first time did not avoid the suspicion of being male and female, so they hugged each other on the pier and started crying.
Zhu and Ji were stunned at the back, thinking to themselves that this was really the first time these two people met? Isn't this King Zhu Tian really the Third Prince Zhu? Then I...
When Zhu and Ji were doubting themselves, the two "siblings" had almost stopped crying and started talking.
"Third brother, it's been almost thirty years since I said goodbye to Jiashen... You were still so thin at that time. I didn't expect you to be so strong now. You are truly blessed by our ancestors!"
"It is indeed the blessing of my ancestors. When I escaped from the capital and fled to Nanjing, I went to Xiaoling to pray to my ancestors and ask for help to bless me to grow tall and strong. It is best to be like Mr. Guan, so that I can serve my father and my mother. Revenge!"
"And eldest brother, eldest brother died miserably... Qing Yao said that he pretended to be the prince and sentenced him to death in Lingchi! You must take revenge, you must take revenge!"
"Revenge! Revenge must be taken! My father's revenge, my mother's revenge, my eldest brother's revenge, as well as the revenge of my wife and my two sons must be avenged!"
Revenge is probably their common goal, right? Zhu Heji thought to himself: "My mother-in-law's hatred is my hatred..."
As soon as he thought of this, Princess Changping asked King Zhu Tian: "Third brother, your wife is no longer here?"
King Zhu Tian said with tears: "It's gone long ago... It was gone when Wencun was broken by Shang Kexi."
"Have you ever renewed your string?"
"The string has not been renewed yet."
"Oh," Princess Changping immediately pushed her female apprentice Yang Xiaoqi to King Zhu Tian, "Third brother, what do you think of her? Her name is Yang Xiaoqi, and she is a daughter of Uncle Zhangwu's family. Although her family has been in decline since she was a child, she has He has been following me, and he is my disciple. He is also well-educated and has some martial arts skills. I was thinking about third brother, if you don’t have a wife, I will marry her to you. I didn’t expect that you two are so destined, and you are in trouble. It’s your honor, and it hasn’t been renewed yet…”
Zhu Heji became a little anxious when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Is this what you, Princess Changping, mean by a good kiss? Find me a baby mother!"
He was in a hurry when King Zhu Tian suddenly shouted at him: "My son, we are in trouble!"
When Zhu Heji heard this, he said angrily: "Abba, don't worry. With your son here, you won't be afraid of any trouble!"
"Really?" King Zhu Tian shouted again, "Sanhezi, Mr. Wan, come out quickly... quickly tell us about Kang Mazi's meeting in Nanjing and Huang Taichong's presentation of "The Record of Visits to Mingyi" Talk to Zhongshu Ling!"
