Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 323 Chapter 323, Zhu Yousong incites people's hearts, and the clans are excited

King Fu's name is Zhu Yousong.

Speaking of this King of Fortune, there is still a lot of history.

Zhu Yousong's father is Zhu Changxun, the last generation of King Fu, the third son of Emperor Wanli, and the half-brother of Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo (father of Chongzhen).

Wanli loved Zhu Changxun, the previous generation of Fu Wang, very much, and even wanted to make Zhu Changxun the prince, but he gave up under the strong opposition of the officials.

Zhu Changxun later lived in Luoyang, living a luxurious and corrupt life, spending money like dirt.

Four years ago, Li Zicheng captured Luoyang and captured Zhu Changxun.

It is said that Zhu Changxun was thrown into a cauldron alive by Li Zicheng and cooked to death.

Moreover, Li Zicheng even ate his meat!

Then, Chongzhen appointed Zhu Yousong, Zhu Changxun's son, as the successor of King Fu, and placed Zhu Yousong in Nanjing.

Although Zhu Changxun's death greatly damaged the vitality of King Fu's lineage, compared to other Zhu royal families in the Central Plains who were almost wiped out, King Fu's lineage is still a powerful force in the clan.

Just look at the mansion of King Fu in Beijing, which was personally rewarded by Emperor Wanli. It covers an area of ​​tens of mu, and has everything you need in flower and bird gardens, pavilions, pavilions, and pavilions.

Not to mention ordinary officials, even the residences of important cabinet ministers have to bow down.

Zhu Yousong sat in the main seat and looked around at the other guests present.

These are all the big bosses of the Zhu family, various uncles and lords, but they still have to be respectful to Prince Fu.

Zhu Yousong said slowly: "What His Royal Highness did this time is really too much! As the mainstay of the clan, we should resist this kind of behavior."

Several clan chiefs looked at each other, and seemed to be a little hesitant.

Zhu Yousong became a little impatient, and said: "Why, don't you just watch so much money allocated from the national treasury slip away from your hands every year? Don't everyone here feel that after the prince did such a thing, , he will take the initiative to promote you to princes, right? Stop having those big dreams!"

The faces of several clan chiefs were a little ugly at Fu Wang's words.

Indeed, there is a rumor that Zhu Cixiang will promote some more obedient clans to become the new princes after canceling the treatment of most clans.

An old man with white hair pondered for a moment and then said: "However, His Highness the Crown Prince's methods have always been famous for his thunderous methods. If we come forward to oppose him, we will definitely have to suffer some hardships."

Another middle-aged man also said: "This is exactly the reason. Whether it is Beijing or Nanjing, how many people are being harassed by His Royal Highness? We can't get into trouble with him, or something big will happen."

The clan chiefs spoke one after another, and their opinions were unanimously unanimous, and they were all unwilling to stand up and be the one who opposed Zhu Cihong.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yousong didn't seem to be angry either, but just sat there calmly, looking at the big guys in front of him playfully.

The atmosphere became awkward. The white-haired old man stood up and said to Zhu Yousong: "Prince Fu, if there is nothing else, I will leave soon."

Zhu Yousong smiled and said, "Wait a little longer."

The white-haired old man froze for a moment, and said helplessly: "Fu Wang, even if you say that again, the opinion of the old man and others will not change."

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came.

Everyone in the lobby was a little confused. This was the majestic Prince Fu's Mansion. Who dared to cause trouble here?

A large group of people suddenly rushed in.

"I have seen His Royal Highness Fu!"

"Your Highness, you must help us seek justice."

"Your Highness, the crown prince is too much, we can only count on you!"

Hundreds of people huddled together, pushing and shoving. I don't know how many mouths shouted here. The originally quiet lobby suddenly turned into a vegetable market.

Zhu Yousong smiled, stood up, and stretched out his hand to press down.

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to what I have to say!"

Everyone fell silent.

Zhu Yousong said sternly: "You must have seen these clan elders around me. I am with them today just to deal with the wrong tyranny of His Highness the Crown Prince!"

After everyone heard this sentence, they immediately cheered up.

"That's right, it's tyranny!"

"Tyranny must be abolished!"

"You are all clan elders, you can definitely give us a fair explanation."

Zhu Yousong laughed, and said: "But, to tell you the truth, the elders have some concerns. They think that His Royal Highness is using the method of thunder, which may bring disaster to everyone and make things worse. It gets worse.”

When everyone heard this, they immediately went crazy.

"Are you also worthy to be clan elders?"

"Looking forward and backward about a little thing, I don't know how to work for the benefit of our clan."

"Step down! Let me take over."

Facing the accusations of the crowd, the faces of several clan chiefs quickly turned pale, and they hurriedly explained.

"Everyone, calm down and speak up if you have something to say."

"That's right, everything is negotiable."

However, the hundreds of clan members who arrived at Prince Fu's Mansion did not appreciate it.

"What are you discussing! You all have official positions and property. You can't starve to death without the court's money. We will starve to death without money!"

"If we don't have money, we will die. Anyway, our lives are dead. If we can't do it, we will trade our lives for our lives!"

"That's right, fight, either you go with us to fight with His Royal Highness, or we will fight with you here!"

The anger of the crowd surged towards these clan bosses like an overwhelming mountain, making it difficult for them to resist.

Zhu Yousong watched this scene with a smile, feeling very happy in his heart.

Afraid of offending Zhu Cihong, right?

First, let you old fritters see what will happen if you offend me!

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Zhu Yousong said loudly, "Everyone, be quiet!"

Everyone became quiet again and looked at Zhu Yousong.

Zhu Yousong is their last hope now.

Zhu Yousong looked at the pale-faced elders of the clan, and said with a smile: "Actually, these elders are also doing it for everyone's benefit, but they just want to be more stable. I believe that after listening to everyone's opinions, the elders will You should be very willing to go to the palace with everyone to protest against His Royal Highness, right?"

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on several clan leaders.

The expressions on the faces of several clan leaders were very exciting, but in the end, they could only nod helplessly.

"Of course the old man agrees."

"Yes, yes, yes, I agree, we are against His Royal Highness's policy."

"As a clan member, of course we stand with everyone."

It doesn't matter if you don't agree. Looking at the appearance of these guys, if you really don't agree, they will come up and fight for their lives in minutes.

Seeing this, Zhu Yousong couldn't help laughing.

"Then what are we waiting for? Go to the palace now and let His Royal Highness see the power from our clan!"
