Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1224 Three Conditions
When approaching Linqing City, nearly ten thousand soldiers lined up in a neat formation by the pier beside the canal, with flags waving and swords and guns everywhere.

Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang, Liu Tichun, Li Laiheng, Dang Shousu, Yang Yanchang and others, except for Li Guo who was on the front line of Tongguan, and some generals in important positions, the main figures of the Shun line were basically there.

At the beginning, Wang Yan had only 3 people, but later he accepted more than [-] Shun troops in Huguang, and turned the situation in Huguang in one fell swoop.Later, although Wang Yan gave great support to Dai Zhifan, Liu Shun and others, and recruited a lot of surrendered soldiers from the Qing army, as well as the Daxi army, as well as troops from the Lu royal line and the Gan line, the proportion of the Shun line in the Ming army was at least Also accounted for about [-]%.

This point can be known from the names of a large number of generals such as Gao Yigong, Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, Li Laiheng, Dang Shousu, Liu Tichun, Liu Tiren, and the proportion of the Shun line in the Ming army.

Wang Yan looked around and saw these generals standing at the pier. When they saw Wang Yan's boat coming, they got off their horses one after another, ready to wait.

According to the current laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, their behavior of leaving the station privately and mobilizing troops privately in order to obtain authorization will be decapitated if they are serious, but what they are going to do now is to decapitate the clan Naturally, he would not care about this matter.

At this time, Wang Yan looked at them, his face darkened. He had to say that the Shun family and the Wang family had put him under tremendous pressure, but fortunately, the Wang family also knew that if the generals were to support him, the Shun family would be in trouble in the future. To grow rapidly is not what the Wang family wants to see, so Wang Fuzhi and others, as well as the officials and gentry of the Chu faction, did not participate, but let the Shun family throw stones to ask for directions.

Fortunately, the civil servants and generals behind Wang Yan are not of one mind, but their differences are only how and when the new dynasty will be established, and who will get the greatest merit and the greatest benefits.

Right now, it is a fact that more and more people are forcing Wang Yan. At this point, according to most people's thinking, it is time to replace him.

Wang Yan also understood the thoughts of these people in his heart.However, the time is still early, he has come to the present step by step, how can he obey the wishes of others just because someone forces him, people still have to be a little bit persistent.

This may be a bit selfish, and it is more about realizing one's own value, but history needs people like him, and someone has to start and make a change.

Shunxi's behavior was within Wang Yan's expectation, but the thoughts of the Wang family made Wang Yan feel lonely and groping in the dark alone.

This made him a little sad, whether to stick to his own ideals, or to fulfill the wealth of others, Wang Yan was also vacillating, but it was still early, why did he give up so quickly?

From the change in Qingzhou to the present, he has worked it out step by step. How difficult it is, so what if he tries harder?

Now, he is only 30 years old, and he can live for at least 30 years. In these [-] years, what he says counts, why not give it a try?If he doesn't do it, how will he know the result?

Gu is not dead yet, when Gu dies, if it doesn't work, let you flood the sky, but during this time, whoever wants to fight, then fight, the emperor wants to fight, then fight with him, the minister wants to fight, then fight with him If he fights, let the lonely king be a living Cao Cao.

Thinking of Li, Wang Yan couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief. He is indeed under tremendous pressure now, but he has come through the most difficult time. Now he still has a lot of cards, so what is it?

However, he has some thoughts, which can no longer be expressed, at least not in front of people like the Wang family and Shunxi who want him to be emperor, because he can't talk about ideals with ordinary people, but when facing Du Yinxi, Su Guansheng and others, It has to be like an establishment, and he needs to deal with it.

Wang Yan suddenly turned his head and said unhappily: "Let them board the boat, the lonely king will not enter Linqing."

Lu Shikui stood behind Wang Yan all the time, watched his back, and when he heard the order, he clasped his fists in response, then jumped from the big boat to the small boat, and slowly reached the shore.

When Gao Yigong and others saw him, they rushed up to greet him, "Hongxi, where is Your Highness?"

Lu Shikui glanced at several people, hesitated to speak, breathed out a long breath, and then sighed: "Great Governor, Your Highness asked you to board the boat to meet him, but His Highness will not disembark!"

Hearing the words, Gao Yigong couldn't help but exchanged glances with Liu Fangliang next to him, and the generals behind were a little panicked.

They heard that several scholars from the cabinet had come to the north and wanted to prevent the king of Chu from enshrining Zen in Mount Tai, so they went to Linqing to meet them, and wanted to take Wang Yan with them and go overland to Mount Tai through Jinan to avoid the scholars.

Although the Shun family accounted for a large proportion of the Ming army, Wang Yan's control over the army was actually very strong, especially the middle and lower level generals. Many of them could be regarded as Wang Yan's disciples, and the Shun family did not dare to They are trying hard, so they are mainly building momentum, making Wang Yan feel that the world wants him to usurp him, and after shaking him, they will look for opportunities to wrap up in yellow robes, and big things will happen.

Along the way, His Royal Highness the King of Chu would disembark from the ship, go to the prefectures and counties to appease the people who had just surrendered, meet the gentry, and declare the policies of the imperial court, so that the order in the north can be restored as soon as possible.

Linqing is a very prosperous city in Shandong Province. The king of Chu suddenly stopped, which made Gao Yigong and the others feel nervous. It seems that the king of Chu knew about their affairs.

After all, this matter is their own initiative, and no one will be happy if they are persecuted, but they are not all for themselves. His Highness is the emperor when he ascends the great treasure, and they are doing it for His Highness's benefit.

Under the current situation, they could not snatch King Chu off the boat, so Gao Yigong was silent for a while, then handed the whip and weapons to the guards, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's follow Hongxi to see His Highness!"

Seeing this, several other people could only unarm their weapons, and a group of people boarded the boat, and waited for the boat to get close to Wang Yan's boat before going up the boat ladder.

Wang Yan's boat was a three-story boat with a large hull. At this time, Wang Yan had already returned to the cabin.

Several people were led into a very large cabin, with nanmu chairs placed on both sides, Wang Fuzhi and several officials sat on both sides, and Wang Yan sat in the middle hall with a serious face. The whole layout was like entering a room. festival hall.

Seeing this, Gao Yigong and the others hurried forward and saluted Wang Yan together, "I'll see Your Highness!"

Wang Yan didn't let them get up, but just glanced at them, and then said in a cold voice: "You are not cowardly, not to mention leaving your post without authorization, but also bringing a large army here, in your eyes there is no loneliness, and there is no imperial court."

The few people listened and bowed their heads in silence for a while. They were still in awe of Wang Yan's prestige today, but at this point, what should be said still had to be said. Gao Yigong suddenly kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, how could we Don't take Your Highness seriously, I waited to come this time because of His Highness's important affairs!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Fangliang also knelt down and said: "Your Highness, all the officers and men in the army feel that Your Highness..."

"Okay! Take it to heart, you come here with soldiers? This can make the lonely king feel at ease, how can the lonely heart be at ease?" Wang Yan suddenly shouted.

Gao Yigong was taken aback when he heard the words, he has been stationed in Nanjing for a long time, he understood a little more, he immediately reacted, and then his face turned pale.

Liu Fangliang didn't understand what Wang Yan meant, so he hurriedly explained. "Your Highness, that is to give His Highness a boost!"

"His Royal Highness recovers Shenjing, Desheng returns to court, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We are all willing to follow His Highness and support His Highness!"

Wang Yan waved his hand, seeing them explaining one after another, he sighed, then changed his tone and said softly, "Gu Wang knows what you want to say and what you want to do, but this matter is not as simple as you think. The king will give you an explanation, so you stay on the boat first, and after three days, Gu will give you a satisfactory answer!"

After speaking, Wang Yan got up and left, leaving Gao Yigong and others behind. Li Laiheng couldn't help being a little frightened, and wanted to say something, but Wang Fuzhi stood up and said, "Three days later, the army will arrive in Tai'an. What's the point of waiting for three days for a few generals?"

Tai'an Mansion is located in the south of Jinan, on the east side of the Grand Canal, and Mount Tai is located in Tai'an Mansion.

When attacking Beijing, the army led by Wang Yan was mainly the East Route Army led by Dai Zhifan, which included Liu Shun's Zhongwu, Zhang Mingzhen's Zhenwu Zuojun, and Li Yuanyin's Wuwei Youjun. He did not bring any Shun troops to attack Beijing. .

This is mainly because the Shun army captured Beijing and forced Emperor Chongzhen to death. After Wang Yanguang returned to Shenjing, he must perform sacrifices, and Shun would feel uncomfortable.

He left Gao Yigong and others on the boat because he was also worried that if the Shun Department caused a bigger incident.

At this time, Wang Yan already knew that Du Yinxi and others had already gone north, and it was estimated that they would stop him in Tai'an and prevent him from climbing to the top of Mount Tai, so he was going to deal with the matter when everyone arrived, and gave Shun a When explaining to make them feel at ease, they must also force the court to back down and compromise.

However, Wang Yan obviously underestimated the eagerness of Du Yinxi and the others. They ran all the way, instead of waiting for Wang Yan to pass by in Tai'an, they went directly to Dongchang Mansion.

Du Yinxi and others stopped Wang Yan in Dongchang Mansion.

They were also very well informed, knowing that Gao Yigong and others boarded Wang Yan's boat in Linqing, Du Yinxi was afraid that Wang Yan would be persuaded, so Xingye came to Dongchang.

Wang Yan didn't hide from them, but asked people to bring them to the boat as well.Du Yinxi walked the fastest, leaving behind several elders and guards leading the way.

He got into the cabin, and saw Wang Yan sitting in the main seat, on the seats on both sides, only Wang Fuzhi and Xia Wanchun sat on the left, and on the right were all generals, most of them were from the Shun line.

Seeing Gao Yigong and others sitting in the cabin, Du Yinxi's face suddenly collapsed, and he was about to speak, but Wang Yan said first: "Several cabinet ministers sit first, and then listen to the lonely king!"

Seeing this, Du Yinxi and the others had to take a seat on the left first, but Wang Yan saw that they were seated, and then straightened his body, and said in a deep voice, "The matter is here, the lonely king will get straight to the point. The current situation is in everyone's mind." I know everything, Wan Chun thought about a few things, how about listening to them?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for everyone's response, he slightly raised his hand to signal Xia Wanchun, who immediately stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Masters, in order to balance the interests of all parties, I suggest three things. Second, after the recovery of Beijing, Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager should return to Shenjing, but the Jianguo and the imperial court will still stay in Nanjing. Third, Your Majesty will immediately issue an edict to announce to the world that the affairs of the Ming Dynasty Appointment to the supervisory state and the cabinet. In addition, it needs to be stated in the imperial decree that His Majesty only has the power to appoint the supervisory state and cannot order to interfere with state affairs at will. If His Majesty's order is opposite to the imperial court's order, the subjects of the world should follow the imperial court's order... "..."
