Chapter 285: I Swear


Since moving to Kunming, Emperor Yongli felt the merits of Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and others, and ordered Li Dingguo to be the king of Jin, Liu Wenxiu to be the king of Shu, Bai Wenxuan to be the Duke of Gongguo, Wang Shangli, the Marquis of Guyuan, the prince of Baoguo, the general Wang Ziqi to be the Duke of Kuiguo, He Jiuyi to be the Marquis of Baokang, and Li Bengao, the governor of the naval army, to be the emperor of Chongxinbo, and in addition, Sun Kewang's cronies in Kunming to protect Zhang Hu were also crowned as Chunhuabo.

In addition to the generals of the Great Western Army of Jinfeng, Emperor Yongli also reused Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, who was originally a Ming minister, in addition to allowing him to enter at any time in case of emergency, he also let him take charge of the forbidden army guarding the palace.

At the same time, Li Dingguo built a palace for the Yongli Emperor in Wuhua Mountain in Kunming, and from An Long to Kunming's bachelors Fugang, Lei Yuelong, Zhang Zuochen, and Wang Jiao, the secretary of the Ministry of Wenxuan, Wang Jiao and others formed the six departments and nine secretaries of the Kunming court.

At the same time, the cabinet was also established, and what was surprising was that the new bachelor in the cabinet actually had Ma Jixiang, a powerful minister who had colluded with Sun Kewang in the past.

Ma Jixiang was born as a martial artist, and in his early years, he followed Ming Lei to pacify the rebellion of King Jingjiang, and commanded envoys to Guangdong.

Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, and Ma Jixiang was in Guangdong.

In the first year of Hongguang, he was dismissed due to an incident, and later the Yongli Imperial Court was established in Zhaoqing, and he was appointed as the secretary of the military department, responsible for guarding Zhaoqing.

When Emperor Yongli fled west to Guangxi, Ma Jixiang led people all the way to protect him, so he won the trust of Yongli.

But since Emperor Yongli arrived at Anlong Mansion and was placed under house arrest by Sun Kewang, Ma Jixiang abandoned the old master and colluded with Sun Kewang, and he also took refuge with Sun Kewang and the eunuch Pang Tianshou.

On the way to Kunming, Pang Tianshou was afraid that Li Dingguo would find him to settle accounts, and Yongli was also indifferent to him along the way, Pang Tianshou was afraid that he would be dragged out and beheaded after arriving in Kunming, so he gritted his teeth and committed suicide by taking poison.

His nephew Pang Tianci escaped while others were unprepared.

After Pang Tianshou's death, Li Dingguo asked his general Jin Tongwu to take care of Ma Jixiang, but Ma Jixiang was really shrewd, and he actually begged for mercy and flattered Jin Tongwu, and continued to say good things about Li Dingguo in front of Le, scolding Sun Kewang, plus Emperor Yongli also missed Ma Jixiang's old feelings, so Li Dingguo let him go.

After the formation of the Kunming cabinet, Emperor Yongli appointed Ma Jixiang to enter the cabinet to do things, Li Dingguo did not object to this, and as a result, Ma Jixiang's entry into the cabinet attracted the scolding of those upright Yongli courtiers.

But no matter what, after moving to Kunming, the Yongli court finally had some weather, in addition to the emperor is no longer subject to others, the loyal Yongli ministers can finally operate the court.

In the past, the affairs of the Yongli court were handled by Sun Kewang, who was far away in Guiyang, and the Anlong Mansion was just an empty shelf.

This letter did not receive any response from Emperor Yongli, nor did it receive a response from Li Dingguo.

In terms of how to treat Sun Kewang, the lord of the Qin Kingdom, Li Dingguo and Emperor Yongli had the same attitude, and they didn't want to meet Sun Kewang.

Therefore, Emperor Yongli sent Bai Wenxuan and Zhang Hu as envoys to Guiyang with the seal book, hoping to persuade Sun Kewang to eliminate the estrangement and get back together.

Before leaving, Emperor Yongli summoned Bai Wenxuan and Zhang Hu, gave him a golden grate for each of them, and advised: "The two Qing families are going to Guiyang, and they must convey their intention of reconciliation to the King of Qin, hoping that the King of Qin can think of the common people in the world for the sake of his ancestors, and not make the same room fight."

If I and the King of Qin can reconcile, I will live up to the two Qing families, and he will restore the country one day, and the descendants of the two Qing families can share weal and woe with the Ming Dynasty for generations."

Bai Wenxuan already respected the Yongdi calendar, and was busy at the moment: "The emperor can rest assured, after the minister arrives in Guiyang, he will definitely persuade the king of Qin to come to Kunming to meet the emperor." ” Zhang Hu on the side snorted secretly and said: "The minister went to Guiyang but transferred what His Majesty said to the King of Qin, whether the King of Qin can do what His Majesty wants, it is not up to the minister." ” Hearing this, Emperor Yongli nodded slightly, and raised his hand to signal the inner supervisor to send the two out.

After Bai and Zhang left, Yongli Fang said to Queen Wang, who walked out from behind the screen: "Bai Wenxuan is loyal, but that Zhang Hu is a rebellious person, I am afraid that he will do bad things after he goes to Guiyang." ” Queen Wang was a little puzzled, and wondered: "Your Majesty knows that Zhang Hu is not credible, why do you still let him go, can't you send other ministers to go?"

"Nope."

Yongli shook his head, smiled bitterly, and explained to Queen Wang: "Zhang Hu is Sun Kewang's cronies, and I named him Chunhuabo for Sun Kewang to see, so as to show that I don't care about his past, but trust him more than what he means.

After a pause, he said: "This time I sent someone to Guiyang, and the King of Jin thought that others were not enough to convince Sun Kewang, only if this Zhang Hu went, Sun Kewang would believe that I was not annoyed with him, and I had no intention of hating him." ” Queen Wang deeply felt the great grace of Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, and believed in him as a person and knew his loyalty, so when she heard that Zhang Hu was the person chosen by Li Dingguo, she immediately nodded and said: "The concubine thinks that if Sun Kewang can really serve the emperor with his courtiers, she doesn't care who the person who goes is bigger, if he is still ambitious, whoever is sent will be the same."

This Zhang Hu is the candidate of the King of Jin, so presumably the King of Jin has his own plans, and the emperor does not have to worry about the King of Jin being able to fight well, and there are tens of thousands of Tiger Ben soldiers under his command, and the Qing army is still invincible. ” "With the King of Jin, I am where I am today, and I also believe that he will help me restore my ancestors.

However, if Sun Kewang really wants to fight with me, I can only fight him to the end, and then everything will depend on the king of Jin. ” Yongli sighed with emotion, stepped forward to hold Queen Wang's hand, thought of the suffering that Queen Wang had suffered with him over the years, and then looked at her increasingly thin body, he couldn't help but have a sour nose, and said softly: "I can't stand the queen these years, I have suffered a lot of hardships, I am ashamed to be the son of heaven, and I am ashamed to be my husband" After speaking, his eyes were red.

Queen Wang also had tears in her eyes, and said softly: "How did the emperor talk about this, the concubines don't feel bitter, as long as they can be with Your Majesty, the concubines will be happy even if they suffer greatly." ” "It's going to get better, it's going to get better, and I swear I'll never let you live that precarious life with me again."

Emperor Yongli hugged Queen Wang affectionately, and the husband and wife hugged each other tightly, at this moment, time seemed to stand still, and the husband and wife only felt that there was nothing else in the world, only the two of them stood quietly here.

The eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting in the palace dared not to be interested, they all quietly breathed breathing, and they did not dare to gasp in the atmosphere, for fear of alarming the emperor and queen. oshow7 t1706231537:
