Hangzhou, the capital of the king of Wuyue.After Zhao Ming said that after the establishment of the feudal system, Hangzhou was designated as the capital of Wuyue Kingdom, and the royal government and the parliamentary government were moved from Suzhou to Hangzhou.In this regard, many officials in the parliamentary government raised objections, believing that the new annexation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is not like the long-term annexation of Jiangdong, and the capital should be located in Laochao, not in the newly occupied Hangzhou.Zhao Ming believes that it is precisely because of the new annex of Zhejiang that the capital must be located in Hangzhou.In the land of Jiangdong, Zhao Ming has been operating for many years, the people's hearts are attached, and the capital is located in Suzhou, which is indeed safe, but it is not much help for Jiangdong.Zhejiang is newly attached, many prefectures and counties are unstable, and Wu Yueguo is in Hangzhou, first, it can show that the parliamentary government attaches importance to and trusts Zhejiang, and second, it can directly command and influence Zhejiang, so as to prevent the local yang from violating the yin, and facilitate the parliamentary government to quickly digest Zhejiang.With these two points, at the insistence of Zhao Ming, the Wu Yue Guoyi government left the relatively comfortable and comfortable Suzhou and moved to the unfamiliar Hangzhou.In the city of Hangzhou, there is the palace of Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, Zhao Ming did not move in, but was protected, and no one was allowed to occupy and harass, and he himself spent money to buy a mansion as the palace of Wuyue Wang.At this time, Wu Yue set the capital of Hangzhou, and it had been half a year, and the parliamentary government was already on the right track.Early in the morning, Zhao Ming, the king of Wuyue, had breakfast in the palace and came to the parliamentary government to deal with government affairs.Administratively in Wu Yueguo, after the establishment of the parliamentary government and the six-cao two-chamber system, many things in the feudal kingdom were handed over to the parliamentary government, and he mainly focused on external affairs.At this time, in the House of Representatives, Zhao Ming was wearing regular clothes and sitting on the throne, and Chen Mingyu, Chen Zilong, Gu Yanwu and others were sitting on both sides, discussing the current situation."
Gentlemen, what's on the agenda today?"
Zhao Ming took a sip of strong tea to wake up, and then asked casually.The deliberations of the House of Representatives are very casual, with tea and pastries, and they are not serious, and everyone can speak freely according to the current situation.Chen Mingyu, the leader of the council, said: "Your Highness, yesterday I talked about the matter of Hu Cao and Gong Cao, and today I will mainly talk about the matter of Bing Cao. ”When Zhao Ming heard this, he looked like Chen Zilong and said, "That being the case, Mr.
Otaru will talk about it." ”Chen Zilong said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, there are two main things today, one is the ambush of Sun Kewang by the imperial court, and the other is the war in Liaodong. ”Fu Shangrui ambushed Sun Kewang, and this matter had spread to Jiangdong, and Zhao Ming could be said to be extremely shocked when he first heard it.Zhao Ming became interested, "The ambush of Sun Kewang, what new news does Bing Cao have?"
”Chen Zilong said: "Back to His Royal Highness, according to the news obtained by Bing Cao, Fu Shangrui, the governor of Huguang, claimed that after Sun Kewang forcibly occupied Jingzhou, he pretended to negotiate with the imperial court, but in fact he wanted to try Huguang, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the imperial court to take Yunyang. ”Zhao Ming frowned, "Is this credible?"
”Chen Zilong shook his head and said: "The minister thinks it is not credible, Sun Kewang wants to want to Huguang, and it is unreasonable to take Changsha, Yuezhou, and Xunyang." ”Zhao Ming also thinks so, but only Fu Shangrui and Sun Kewang know the specific situation, Wu Yueguo is too far away from Huguang, and they can't know the inside story of the matter for the time being."
Is there any news from Sun Kewang?"
Zhao Ming frowned.Chen Zilong said in a deep voice: "There is no news for the time being, it is said that it has flowed to Hanzhong." ”After speaking, Chen Zilong couldn't help but worry: "At this time, the imperial court will start a war with Sun Kewang and force Sun Kewang into Hanzhong, I'm afraid~" Zhao Ming stroked his short beard and muttered: "Mr.
Otaru, are you worried that Sun Kewang will die in battle, or are you worried that Sun Kewang will surrender?"
”In history, the Yongli Dynasty was infighting, and after Sun Kewang was defeated by Li Dingguo, he took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty in a fit of anger.After the Manchus received Sun Kewang's surrender, they obtained detailed information about Yungui and the deployment of the Ming army, and finally succeeded in attacking Yungui and destroying the Yongli court.Therefore, Zhao Ming also had this worry in his heart.Chen Zilong said: "Your Highness, whether Sun Kewang is dead or alive, or descends to the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that the Manchu Qing will benefit." ”Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "What do you say?
”Chen Zilong said: "If Sun Kewang survives, he will definitely be angry with Fu Shangrui's ambush, and it is very likely that he will send troops to take revenge.If Sun Kewang dies and Xichuan is in chaos, the Manchus will definitely take the opportunity to invade Sichuan.If Sun Kewang surrendered, the situation would be even worse. ”Zhao Ming was silent when he heard this, and said in a half annoyed voice: "Fu Shangrui, it's really not enough to succeed and more than to lose!"
Lone should have killed him in the first place. ”In the hall, several people were also silent for a while, and Zhao Ming changed the topic after half a ring, and asked, "How is the war in Liaodong?"
”Chen Zilong retracted his thoughts and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Highness, the war in Liaodong is progressing smoothly, and the Qing army's attack has been repelled. ”Zhao Ming was overjoyed when he heard this, "This is a good thing, every year the war is fighting, the Qing army is temporarily retreating, and the soldiers can finally rest for a period of time and recover their strength." ”Chen Zilong said: "However, there is a letter from Jiangbei, Zhang and Li, both governors, hoping that His Royal Highness can return the soldiers and horses they sent to Liaodong, and let Li Yuanyin and others return to Jiangbei!"
”Although it shows that the Qing Dynasty is in a state of war, Jiangbei is temporarily peaceful and there is no war, and Zhu Yihai's pressure is not great.At this time, Li Chengdong and Zhang Mingzhen demanded that their seconded soldiers and horses be returned, could it be that Jiangbei has made any recent moves?
Zhao Ming couldn't help asking: "Is there any news in Jiangbei recently?"
”Chen Zilong shook his head, "No abnormalities found!"
Zhao Ming waved his hand, "No, send a detailed investigation and strict monitoring." ”Zhu Yihai was deposed as the crown prince by Longwu, he will definitely not be reconciled, and Li Chengdong and Zhang Mingzhen want to take back the soldiers and horses of Liaodong, and Jiangbei is most likely to make some moves."
Obey orders!"
Chen Zilong saluted, and then asked, "That person still won't pay it back?"
”Zhao Ming shook his head and said, "I don't pay it back!"
”The deliberations in the council hall lasted for a morning, and at noon, Zhao Ming returned to the palace, and several councilors had to deal with various Cao affairs.At this time, as soon as Zhao Ming returned to the palace, a guard reported, "Your Highness, there are two gentlemen who ask to see you." ”Since Zhao Ming established the country, there have been many scholars in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, who have come to take refuge, and Zhao Ming has to meet a few people every few days."
Oh, no names?"
Zhao Ming asked casually."
The people who came called themselves Yan Qiheng and Zhang Jiayu!"
The guard said.Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard this, after Yan Qiheng resigned, he lived in seclusion in his hometown in Zhejiang, Zhao Ming got the news and was about to send someone to invite, but he was rejected by Yan Qiheng, and then when Zhao Ming sent someone again, Yan Qiheng had already accepted the appointment of the imperial court and sent an envoy to Xichuan."
They didn't go to Xichuan, how could they come to Hangzhou?"
Zhao Ming was puzzled for a while, and then said: "Let them wait in the side hall!"
”In the side hall, Yan Qiheng and Zhang Jiayu sat upright, Yan Qiheng was drinking tea, and Zhang Jiayu was a little uneasy.At this time, the guards outside the hall shouted, "Your Highness has arrived!"
”Zhang Jiayu got up immediately, Yan Qiheng took a sip of tea, stood up unhurriedly, and bowed to greet him."
Haha~ Lord Yan didn't go to Nanjing, he was ordered to send an envoy to Xichuan, how could he come to Guwang!"
Zhao Ming laughed and entered the side hall alone.Yan Qiheng heard Zhao Ming's words, and he was sarcastic about not accepting Zhao Ming's kindness before, and now he came to Hangzhou.He smiled slightly, and saluted neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your Highness, in today's world, not only the monarch is choosing his courtiers, but the ministers are also choosing the king!"
Previously, Yu thought that the court trusted, so he obeyed the order of Nanjing, but now he knows that the lord of the court is faint and mediocre, and it is difficult to save the people, so he came to seek refuge in His Royal Highness. ”()
