Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 996: Dingwu's nephew

In Kinmen, in Prince Lu's mansion, the prince Zhu Hongheng and Prince Ningjing Zhu Shugui both looked worried.

"Yanping's father and son are in a big fight, and I and other clans are caught in the middle. It's really a dilemma."

Zhu Shugui is the eighth-generation grandson of Emperor Taizu, the descendant of Zhu Zhi, the fifteenth prince of Liao, and the younger brother of Zhu Shuya, the king of Changyang. In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong captured Jingzhou, and Zhu Shugui, King Hui and his clan took refuge in the lake. Two years later, Chongzhen Meishan hanged himself, and the Manchus entered the customs. King Fu proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing. Zhu Shugui and his elder brother, King Changyang, entered the dynasty and were named generals of Zhenguo. Later, when the Qing army went south, Zhu Shugui was separated from his brother during the escape. At that time, Zheng Zunqian, a hero of all life, welcomed King Lu from Shaoxing as the supervisor of the country. Because he did not know the whereabouts of King Changyang, Zhu Shugui gave him the title of King Changyang. Later, Zheng Hongkui established the Tang King as Emperor Longwu, Zhu Shugui congratulated him on a table, and Emperor Longwu also recognized his title of "King of Changyang". Soon after Zhu Shugui learned that his brother was still alive, Shangshu returned the title of king, and Emperor Longwu changed him to the king of Ningjing and went to Fang Guo'an to serve as the governor of the army.

After the Qing army crossed the Qiantang River, Zhu Shugui fled. On the way, he rendezvoused with King Lu of the supervisory state and was greeted by Zheng Cai to Xiamen. At this time, Emperor Longwu was dead, and King Gui was established as Emperor Yongli. Zhu Shugui went to the court, and Emperor Yongli ordered him to stay in Zheng Hongkui's army. In the second year of Yongli, Zhu Shugui was ordered to supervise Zheng Chenggong's teacher at the same time. Later, the forces of Nanming gradually collapsed. Only Zheng Chenggong maintained a relatively large power and avoided the clan in Siming Prefecture. Zhu Shugui went to seek refuge, and Zheng Chenggong treated him with Wang Li and let him live on the two islands of Kinmen and Xiamen.

In the ninth year of Yongli, because Emperor Yongli and Zheng Chenggong were far apart from each other, Emperor Yongli specifically allowed Zheng Chenggong to set up six officials to facilitate his administration, and at the same time allowed him to appoint officials. Every time Zheng Chenggong honored officials, he invited Zhu Shugui and the Ming clan to watch the ceremony to show respect for the system.

Among the kings of the Jinxia clan, Zhu, the king of Lu, respected Hai the most, but he was old and afflicted with illness, so the clan all pushed Zhu Shugui to be the leader, and he was the only one to see everything.

Zhu Shugui came to Kinmen to visit King Lu who was seriously ill, and Zhu Hongheng, the prince of King Lu, accompanied him to drink tea in the hall. Now Jinxia's top priority is naturally that Yanping's father and son turned against each other. The father wanted to kill the son, but the son refused to hold his head. With the support of many generals and uncle Zheng Tai and others, the power of the prince has become strong, and his father was not allowed to half a point.

In order to make his father change his mind, Zheng Jing even cut off the army's food and forage, so that Yanping had to relieve the siege from Fuzhou. On the way to withdraw the army, the army was chased by the elite soldiers of Dasu, and the general Ma Xin and more than 4,000 soldiers were killed. After Yanping heard the news, he was even more heartbroken. He beat his chest and killed his elite soldiers and strong generals, ruining the overall situation of Fujian's recovery. Now the army is stranded in Fuqing. It is reported that Yanping was so angry that he vomited blood and had been in a coma for many days. The person in charge of the army is Yanping's younger brother Zheng Xi. As a result, Zheng Jing refused to give in even more. Jin Xia's rumors that Yanping had no intention of killing his wife and children at all was Zheng Xi's presumptive proposition. True or false, unknown.

Zhu Ming's clan said in Jinxia that they were treated with courtesy, but in reality they were just relying on others. In the past, when Yanping was in Jinxia, ​​at least on the bright side, he was very polite to the clan. However, since the prince Zheng Jing took over the power of Jinsha, the treatment of the imperial family has been worsening day by day. Zhu Shugui came from Xiamen this time, firstly to visit King Lu who was seriously ill, and secondly to discuss with Lu Shizi whether the clan should leave Jinxia and go to the southern capital.

"I'm afraid you don't know one thing. Before I came, Feng Xifan, the son of Feng Chengshi, came to me. He told me that Zheng Jing had secretly received Wu Sangui's messenger, and the messenger brought him the title of Prince of Fujian. ." Zhu Shugui revealed a surprising news.

"Wu Sangui's messenger, the title of the Prince of Fujian?" Zhu Hongheng was taken aback by the news and said, "Yanping has already received the title of Prince of Dingwu, how can the prince still receive the title of Prince of Yongli?"

Zhu Shugui smiled bitterly: "It's already unfilial, why can't you bear the title of a prince?"

Zhu Hongheng said worriedly: "If Nandu knew about this, I'm afraid it would be difficult to be kind."

"It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. Zheng Jing will cause trouble, so let him go. It's not safe here. I'll wait for the clan to gather on another day, so let's discuss it." Zhu Shugui had already left before he came to Kinmen. Determined to persuade the clans to go back to Nandu no matter what.

"Ugh."

Zhu Hongheng sighed, and was about to say that his father's greatest wish now was to be able to pay homage to Emperor Taizu's mausoleum in Nandu before he died, but when he heard the palace steward rush over, he shouted: "Prince, Your Highness is afraid that it is impossible, you Go and see!"

"It was fine just now, why can't it work!"

Zhu Shugui and Zhu Hongheng were both shocked and hurried to the residence of King Lu. When they entered the room, the two saw King Lu lying on the bed, gasping for breath, with a dark face and blood stains on his beard.

"Father!"

Zhu Hongheng hurried forward, and when he saw his father's appearance, tears fell immediately. Zhu Shugui also sighed, seeing half a bowl of medicine left on the table, and turning to ask the maid serving King Lu, "Has Your Highness drunk the medicine?"

At this time, the weak King Lu was struggling and beckoning to Zhu Shugui, and said with difficulty, "King Ningjing, come here, I'm afraid it won't work."

Zhu Shugui hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed King Lu's hand, comforting him: "Uncle King Lu, you're fine, just rest more."

"You don't need to comfort me, I know my illness myself, cough, please let me finish," Zhu Yihai took a breath, held Zhu Shugui in one hand and his son in the other, and said with difficulty: "After I die~www .wuxiaspot.com~ Don't bury me in the Golden Gate, burn my bones into ashes, put them in a jar, take the jar back to the southern capital, and bury me outside the Xiaoling Mausoleum"

Because he said so many words at once, Zhu Yihai coughed violently, and Zhu Hongheng cried and helped him up.

"After I die, you don't stay here anymore, remember, you must go back, you must go back." After speaking, Zhu Yihai poured out a mouthful of blood and shouted, "Taizu, the children and grandchildren are unfilial!"

"Father!"

Zhu Hongheng cried into tears, and the servants and maids in the house were also crying. With a bitter nose, Zhu Shugui barely stood up and pulled Zhu Hongheng up, persuading him: "Uncle Lu has gone, you, as the prince, should prepare for the funeral immediately, and I will inform the clan and Zheng Jing. If you do things decently, you should also hurry up and write a memorial on the court side, and King Lu will still want you to attack in the future."

"I"

The death of his father made Zhu Hongheng feel numb, how could he think so much. Seeing this, Zhu Shugui asked the people from Prince Lu's mansion to prepare immediately, and he went to inform the clan and Xiamen. After leaving King Lu's Mansion, because King Yongxing Zhu Linwei was in Kinmen, Zhu Shugui asked someone to inform Zhu Linwei first. Unexpectedly, after his entourage went, he went back and forth saying that King Yongxing had taken people out of Hong Kong in the morning.

"Going out of port? Do you know where you went?" Zhu Shugui frowned, not knowing where Zhu Linwei was going out of port at this time.

"I asked someone from the Yongxing palace when I was young, and they said that the Yongxing prince was going into the river to go to the southern capital."

"Um?"

Zhu Shugui was stunned for a while, and then gave a wry smile, that Zhu Linwei really couldn't wait a day, he went to Nandu in such a hurry, I am afraid he went for the future treasure. However, Zhu Linwei is the nephew of Emperor Dingwu after all, and has a good relationship with the Jinxia clan. It is not a bad thing for them to stay in the Jinxia clan first.
