Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 30 The Department of Shige wrote a letter, and King Fu was in the way
"Idiots, idiots, all are idiots." Fu Wang heard that all the more than 100 assassins he sent out died in the vegetable market, and angrily grabbed a powder-painted vase made by the official kiln in the Xuande period and threw it on the ground.

A servant saw it, and hurriedly squatted on the ground to clean it up, so that King Fu would not step on it and get hurt.

Unexpectedly, King Fu was so angry that he kicked him down. The servant was kicked. Although the pain was unbearable, he dared not speak, and crawled in the corner without daring to move, for fear of making King Fu angry again.

"I don't know that Zhu Cixiang was not captured alive. If he was, they would testify that I assassinated the prince, and that would be the end of it." Prince Fu was very afraid that Zhu Cixiang would bring the matter of his assassination to the line.

This kind of thing can't be small, it can only be big. If ordinary people dare to do this, the Yi tribe will take it lightly. If they don't kill the whole street, it will be considered kindness.

Seeing that Prince Fu was angry and frightened, Lu Jiude quickly persuaded him to calm down and calm down. He said, "My lord, don't worry, that kid will not dare."

"He was lucky enough to escape this time, but next time he won't be so lucky."

Lu Jiude thought for a while and added, "We have soldiers in Jinling City. The Xiaoling Guards are ours, the four towns in Jiangbei are also ours, and the Jinling Prefecture is also ours. It would be detrimental to him to break up his face. He will definitely not dare to put him This thing came out."

"That's right. Well, when I ascend the throne, let's see if he dares to go against me." King Fu seemed to gain confidence from Lu Jiude's words, so he said.

……

Back in the mansion, Zhu Cihong couldn't sleep all night, he really didn't expect that Zhu Yousong would dare to send troops to attack and assassinate him.

He felt that he had to fight back and let these guys see how powerful he was, otherwise they would all think that he was just a kid who could play tricks.

So that night, Zhu Cihong wrote a letter and sent someone to Yangzhou to send it to Shi Kefa, asking him to write a letter and propose preparations for the crown prince's enthronement ceremony.

Jinling is not far from Yangzhou, but the water network in the south is densely covered, coupled with the obstruction of large rivers, the delivery speed is very slow.

The people sent by Zhu Cihong arrived in Yangzhou on the second day, while Shi Kefa's people arrived on the third day. It took a few days to come and go.

However, the actions of Zhu Cihong and Shi Kefa also caused an uproar in Jinling City. Of course, not the whole city, but mainly people in the officialdom. In this society, only those in the officialdom have well-informed and true news.

When King Fu saw that Shi Kefa was on Zhu Cihong's side, he also proposed to hold a ceremony immediately to let Zhu Cihong ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and he panicked all of a sudden.

Once Zhu Cihong ascends the throne, his position as supervisor of the country will naturally be invalidated. Considering what he has done before, it is hard to say whether he can be a vassal king who can enjoy peace of mind in the future.

"Your Highness, don't panic. Don't forget that you still have the support of the four towns in Jiangbei, as well as the support of many officials and gentry in Jinling City. Ruan Dacheng and I have been running for you." Seeing that King Fu was scared and panicked, Ma Shiying quickly spoke to comfort him. .

Only then did King Fu realize that he had a lot of cards in his cards, which Zhu Cihong could not match.

"Yes, let them write a letter to me, saying that they don't support Zhu Cihong's ascension to the throne." Fu Wang said.

Ma Shiying quickly agreed and said, "Okay, I'll contact them right away and ask them to write a letter saying that Zhu Cihong has no talents and may be harmful to state affairs, so he cannot be established as a monarch."

"Okay, let's do it this way, let that kid see who really owns Jinling City, haha." After finishing speaking, Fu Wang smugly poked his waist and laughed.

……

In the main hall of the Prince's Mansion, Zhu Cihong called Li Wenkui and Zhou Yuantong over to discuss matters with him.

"When you come to Jinling now, the situation is very different from when you were in the capital. You should have felt this too." Zhu Cihong asked them.

"Yes." Li Wenkui thought to himself, isn't this nonsense, the dignified prince doesn't live in the East Palace, even a fool can see that there is a ghost.

"I was assassinated again two days ago. The water in Jinling is really deep, but do you know who the enemy is under the deep water?" Zhu Cihong asked them.

This point must be made clear, if one's subordinates don't even know who their enemies are, and make a joke at that time, then Zhu Cihong's face will be completely lost.

When Li Wenkui and the others were silent, Zhou Yuantong crossed his legs and wore Taoist robes, and said like a wild Taoist priest, "Isn't it King Fu? Why are you talking so much?"

Hearing Zhou Yuantong's appearance and such a frivolous tone, Li Jin became angry all of a sudden, stood up and pointed at Zhou Yuantong and said, "It's really presumptuous, the prince is here, how dare you speak in such a tone with your legs crossed? Is there any etiquette here?"

"Li Jin, Zhou Yuantong is a capable man, he is used to wandering in the mountains, don't restrain him." Zhu Cihong stood up and spoke for Zhou Yuantong.

"A few days ago, I asked Shi Kefa to write a letter saying that I would immediately prepare for my enthronement ceremony, but unexpectedly, I encountered a lot of resistance. King Fu's power is much deeper than I imagined." Present the same list to four people.

Li Wenkui and the other three were familiar with the officialdom, and saw on it the names of the four towns in Jiangbei and their generals and majors, as well as Fengyang garrison eunuch Lu Jiude, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and his gang, as well as a group of eunuchs who wanted to make a comeback with the help of Prince Fu. , and there are many names of Jinling local officials.

The paper is densely packed, and almost all of them are filled with such names.

"There are so many people, how dare they, what are they doing?" Li Wenkui was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. King Fu has 2 people in Jinling alone, and he has much more military power than me." Zhu Cihong sighed.

He thought to himself, fortunately, it was the last years of the Ming Dynasty, when Confucian culture, and the concept of father and son were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If it was changed to the Tang Dynasty and Five Dynasties, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, how could King Fu talk nonsense to himself and directly transfer the army outside the city to take him away? Killed himself.

"What about those who support you? I have been supporting scholars for 300 years in the Ming Dynasty, and there must be many loyal ministers and righteous men." Li Wenkui looked at Zhu Cihong with firm eyes.

"Not much, mainly Shi Kefa, Qian Qianyi, these few people." Zhu Cihong was not afraid to tell the truth and scare Li Wenkui and the others, so he said it openly.

Anyway, they are all his trusted subordinates, and they cannot betray him no matter what.

In fact, Zhu Cihong was very shocked when he heard Liu Bao say that Qian Qianyi and a group of Donglin Qingliu had written to support him. You must know that he and Qian Qianyi had no intersection and had never paid attention to him.
