Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 233 Du Yinxi's Worry, Zuo Liangyu's Invitation
After unfolding the manuscript, Du Yinxi was the first to look at the seal of the jade seal.

Before Chongzhen died for the country, he had achieved the positions of prefect of Changsha and Wuchang and Huangzhou soldiers. Although his official position was not high, it was not low.

So he took a look and could tell that the seal of the jade seal was probably real.

But after thinking about it, he felt that this didn't actually mean anything.

The capital was breached by Li Zicheng, and if Princess Kunxing escaped, she might have taken away the 24 imperial seals of the Ming Emperor.

Then he browsed the contents of the handbook.

Princess Kunxing said that it will be difficult for Li Zicheng to hold on to Shaanxi, and he will retreat to Huguang in the future. If his defeat is unstoppable, he will definitely plot Jiangnan.

At the same time, after the Qing army defeated Li Zicheng, they would inevitably plot Jiangnan.It is likely that a large army will be sent south from the east line to Xusi Huaiyang, and then break through Nanjing.

She led [-] soldiers and horses to Nanzhili this time, in order to prevent the Qing army from going south.

But here in Huguang, the West Road Qing army will also follow Li Zicheng's Shun army.Therefore, Huguang not only needs to deal with Li Zicheng's Shun army, but also needs to resist the Qing army.

She prefers Du Yinxi, Governor of Huguang Military Affairs, but the official appointment can only be issued after she has met Du Yinxi.

Therefore, please Du Yinxi must go to Yuezhou Mansion to wait for the navy army led by her before March.

After reading the manuscript, Du Yinxi frowned even tighter.

Nowadays, there are wars everywhere in the world, or there are people who support their own self-respect, and the news spreads very slowly.

How the puppet Shun fought with the Qing army, not to mention that he is just a Huguang admiral studying politics, even the Nanjing court may not know.

Therefore, he had no way of judging the authenticity of what was said in the handbook.

Only through some news from other sources, he had a vague feeling that Li Zicheng probably really couldn't stop the Qing army.

And with Li Zicheng's habit of being a bandit, it is indeed possible that he will flee to the south of the Yangtze River at that time.

If the Qing army drove the Shun army down to the south of the Yangtze River, and then followed by the east and west armies, the remaining half of the Ming Dynasty might not be able to keep it!
Thinking of this, Du Yinxi looked at Li Siming with blazing eyes, and asked, "Have you read this handbook?"

Li Siming said: "With the permission of the supervisor, I have seen it. Du Xuezheng does not believe that Her Royal Highness is a matter of supervising the country under the order of the late emperor? If Du Xuezheng knows the handwriting of the late emperor, here is something to prove it."

With that said, Li Siming took out a strange picture from under the box where the manuscript scroll was previously held.

Du Yinxi took it over and looked at it.

I saw that the picture was tough, with one side white, but the other side "drawing" a shrinking "imperial decree" unfolded!
After taking a closer look, Du Yinxi's pupils suddenly shrank.

Because he could see that the miniature "imperial decree" was the original handwriting of the first emperor!

Then he went to look at the content of the "Imperial Decree", and it turned out that Chongzhen appointed Princess Zhu Yu of Kunxing as the supervisor of the country.

It's just that the content is relatively simple. As for the reason for this appointment, it seems that "the princess is blessed by nature, has great supernatural powers, and can communicate with future generations", which makes Du Yinxi confused.

But Chongzhen's handwriting does not look like a fake.

So Du Yinxi stared at Li Siming again, and asked, "What is this? Why is there the handwriting of the first emperor?"

Li Siming said: "This is a photo, and it can be regarded as a painting that is [-]% copied from the real thing. With this photo, it can prove that the emperor's edict is true.

It's just that the late emperor's last edict is important, and it's inconvenient to hand it over to a humble official to show it to Du Xuezheng, so Jian Guo used this photo to prove it. "

Du Yinxi still had a lot of doubts after hearing this, so he decided to ignore it for the time being, because he had more important things to ask.

"Since you have read the handbook, it says that Li Zicheng is unable to resist the Qing army and will go south to Huguang and Jiangnan, but is it true?"

Li Siming actually left Chengdu and came to Huguang before the Chinese New Year, and he didn't know much about the war in Shaanxi.

But he knew another thing, that is, what Jian Guo said was correct.

So he said: "Since Jian Guo said so, it is naturally true."

After hearing this, Du Yinxi couldn't help frowning and walked a few steps left and right, and then said: "Li Baihu, what you said is too strange, I'm sorry that I can't believe it. In addition, in order to avoid trouble, I hope You can live here for a while."

After finishing speaking, he signaled his followers to take Li Siming into the house.

Li Siming immediately realized that Du Yinxi was going to put him under house arrest, and immediately shouted: "Du Xuezheng, the prison country trusts you so much, you must not let it down, remember to go to Yuezhou on time to meet!"

"Shut your mouth!"

The captain of the entourage, who is also Du Yinxi's servant, was startled when he saw Li Siming yelling so loudly, and quickly found something to block his mouth.

Du Yinxi watched Li Siming being locked into the room, but shook his head and sighed: "This Jinyi guard is doing his duty, and his own safety is in danger, and he even reminded me to see the princess."

Another servant next to him couldn't help saying: "Then you want to go?"

Du Yinxi frowned and said: "I'll talk about this later, half of you will be optimistic about this Jinyiwei, and the rest will follow me to see Governor He."

"Yes!"

Du Yinxi was going to see He Tengjiao.

In the 16th year of Chongzhen, because Zhang Xianzhong ravaged Huguang and slaughtered the clan, the former Huguang governor Wang Yangji was unable to control, so he was arrested and imprisoned by the court.

He Tengjiao was appointed governor of Huguang in the 17th year of Chongzhen. When the Hongguang court was established, in order to win over him, he was promoted to governor of Huguang.

Du Yinxi hopes to find out the situation in Jiangbei as soon as possible, especially the movements of the Shun army and the Qing army.

He thought that He Tengjiao, governor of Huguang Military Affairs, should know more about this matter than him.

Even if He Tengjiao is not clear, he also hopes to remind He Tengjiao to take relevant precautions.

Because as far as he knew, the Nanjing imperial court seemed to have sent an envoy for peace talks to the Qing court in Beijing before, in an attempt to "borrow captives to suppress the bandits", and then imitate the Southern Song and Jin, and draw rivers with the Qing to rule.

If what the princess said in the handbook is true, the Qing Dynasty obviously has no intention of peace talks.

So the previous agreement to peace talks must have been a false delay to paralyze the Nanjing court.

From this point of view, the Nanjing court was not as clear as the Chengdu Jianguo court in dealing with the Qing Dynasty.

The governor's yamen is in Changsha city.

While thinking about it, Du Yinxi had already arrived in front of the yamen.

As the admiral of Huguang, he was the prefect of Changsha before, and he can be regarded as one of the top officials in Huguang, so he is not afraid that he will not see He Tengjiao.

Unexpectedly, he told Menzi, but Menzi said that He Tengjiao had gone to Wuchang.

Du Yinxi immediately frowned and asked, "When did the supervisor leave? Why did you go to Wuchang?"

Menzi said: "The supervisor left yesterday morning, it seems that the Marquis of Ningnan invited him."

"Zuo Liangyu?" Du Yinxi frowned even tighter.

In the 17th year of Chongzhen, the imperial court had no choice but to buy Zuo Liangyu, who had used hundreds of thousands of soldiers and was self-respecting.

When the Hongguang court was established, Zuo Liangyu, who supported the heavy army and was located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, naturally also made great efforts to win over him, so he was promoted to Marquis of Ningnan.

However, it is well known that the Marquis of Ningnan is self-respecting and ambitious.

At this time, He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, was invited to meet Zuo Liangyu. Du Yinxi instinctively felt that it was not a good thing, and there might even be some conspiracy.

It's a pity that He Tengjiao has been away for more than a day now, even if he sends someone to chase him, he can't catch up.

What's more, even if he can catch up, what reason should he use to prevent He Tengjiao from seeing Zuo Liangyu?
After all, the Nanjing court still needs Zuo Liangyu to resist the Shun army in Jingxiang area of ​​Jianghan.

Thinking of this, Du Yinxi could only sigh, and turned back.

He planned to inspect the armaments of Changsha Mansion again, and sent spies to Jiangbei to investigate the news.

There is only so much he can do now.
