Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 38 The Furious King

I have to say that it is good to have the support of the prince. In the past, they didn't talk about storytelling like this, and they were often bullied by the government servants. They either extorted some money today, or made it clear that you should be filial tomorrow.

But ever since these storytellings with heavy political implications were spoken, the yamen servants dared not come over. They were afraid that being involved in these political struggles would lead to their own lives being lost.

In this way, it seems that Zhu Cihong is like the protector of the ordinary people. After a long time, even the traffickers and pawns in the streets and alleys praise Zhu Cihong's virtue, and they all think that he was born from heaven to save Ming Dynasty and change the image of the end of the world since Wanli society.

……

In Prince Fu's mansion, inside the main hall.

"This is unreasonable. It's really ridiculous, ridiculous." King Fu patted the red sandalwood coffee table next to him so hard that even the fat on his body trembled.

The literati of Fushe ran for Zhu Cixiang, spreading his reputation, and at the same time, the news of attacking King Fu reached his ears.

He didn't expect that Zhu Cihong would use these methods. The fight between them was above the court, but Zhu Cihong did such a thing in the market.

In fact, Fu Wang didn't care about the voice of the people. The politics above the court had nothing to do with the common people. Even if they wanted to know, it was almost impossible for them to know.

The reason why King Fu was really angry was that he felt that Zhu Cixiang's actions undermined the majesty of the royal family and even embarrassed him.

"It's really bad. If someone like him becomes emperor, Daming doesn't know what will happen." Zhu Yousong said.

Ruan Dacheng was originally talking about his own experience, and by the way asked King Fu when he could arrange an official position for him, but he didn't expect that King Fu would be even more angry than himself.

So he quickly persuaded Prince Fu to calm down, "Your Highness, that guy did this just to please others, so don't be angry."

"Nonsense, you are the one who called me the boy, no matter what he is, Zhu Cihong is the crown prince, so be careful with your mouth, don't let anyone catch you." Hearing Ruan Dacheng say that Zhu Cihong is a boy, King Fu immediately taught him a lesson.

He paid great attention to the etiquette and order of the feudal society. Of course, he would not use these things to restrain himself, otherwise he should have resigned from the position of supervisor and asked the prince to ascend the throne.

Ruan Dacheng never thought that by saying this casually and cooperating with King Fu to vent his resentment, he would offend King Fu again.

He thought to himself, why is he so unlucky, he can't get any good things, and all the bad things come to himself.

But no matter how resentful he was, how dark he was, he had to laugh and talk in front of King Fu.

"Your Highness, I've made a slip of the tongue. But, should we just let those yellow-mouthed children who have been rehabilitated yell wildly? Their deceitful words will probably cause panic in Jinling City."

"What's even more exasperating is that they actually posted them on the door of the minister's house. How can such a shameful humiliation be endured? If the minister hadn't owned this real estate and had no official office to go to, he would have left home long ago to find a clean place. .”

Ruan Dacheng said this, although he was complaining about the attacks from the Fushe literati, which disturbed his life and made him very embarrassed, but in the eyes of King Fu, it was Ruan Dacheng who was asking for an official position.

After all, people follow King Fu just to become an official in the future, and Ruan Dacheng is no exception, and King Fu promised him that he would be an official long before King Fu supervised the country.

But now, King Fu has supervised the country for ten days, and he still has nothing. In name, he is still a sinner involved in the eunuch's rebellion case and cannot be an official for life.

"Ruan Dacheng, it's not that I don't want to give you an official position. It's just that your reputation is too bad now. I dare not use you casually. I'm afraid that the court ministers will criticize you. But don't worry, after a while, I will definitely find an excuse. Let you enter the sixth part."

King Fu still doesn't want to give Ruan Dacheng an official position for the time being, not because he is stingy, but because Ruan Dacheng's reputation is too bad and there are too many opponents.

"Yes." Ruan Dacheng bowed down respectfully and answered.

He didn't dare to bargain with Fu Wang, after all, he was just a literati in the field without any authority in his hands, even if Ma Shiying came and heard Fu Wang's words, he would not dare to say anything in person.

But respectful and respectful in person, Ruan Dacheng scolded King Fu's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart.

Straight mother thief, the old Zhu family is really stingy. From Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Youjian, they are all stingy iron cocks. The same is true for you, King Fu. It can be said that the family does not enter the house.

I ran back and forth for you, and worked hard to contact, but in the end I got this. It's a pity that I got on your thief ship, and now I can only go to the dark one way.

"Okay, you go back, I'm tired." King Fu waved his hand, and a waiter around him invited Ruan Dacheng out, not allowing him to stay any longer in the palace.

……

King Fu was furious over there, but Zhu Cihong looked at the list in his hand but smiled happily.

Zhu Cihong wrote down the names of the civil servants who had written to express their approval for Zhu Cihong's immediate ascension to the throne, as well as the names of the Fushe literati who joined him two days ago, all on a piece of paper, so that he can more intuitively show who his supporters are and how many there are. .

Liu Bao was serving Zhu Cixiang. He was shocked when he saw so many names written on the white paper. He took a breath and said, "My dear, how come there are so many people on the list of princes?"

Standing beside Zhu Cihong, Liu Bao saw that Shi Kefa, Qian Qianyi, Chen Zilong, Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Hou Fangyu, Wu Ciwei... and more than 100 names of civil officials and scholars were written on the white paper.

Among them, there are people who are officials in Jinling, or people who live in Jinling, and there are many names of magistrates, prefectures, and prefects who are local officials.

This is not because Liu Bao knew each other, but because Zhu Cihong also wrote the official position behind the name, so Liu Bao was able to know who the people on this piece of paper were.

"Haha, don't look too much, in fact, there are basically three types of people." Zhu Cihong is also very happy with his achievements these days.

Originally, he thought that there were not many people who supported him, but recently, some local officials in remote areas, as well as chieftains, after hearing the news that Shi Kefa had written to request the crown prince to hold the enthronement ceremony immediately, they all wrote to him one after another.

Although these people are as high as the sky and the emperor is far away, for some reason, they are more loyal than the guys who usually think of themselves as loyal ministers and righteous men. They all said that they would not recognize anyone as the emperor except Zhu Cihong.

But it's a pity that the influence of these people can only be limited to the borders of the empire, and they speak lightly, so the help to Zhu Cihong is very limited.

"Oh, what about the three types of people?" Liu Bao asked.
