Chapter 312 Qu Shixu's Problem
Du Yonghe turned his head and looked at Qu Shixu with a cold face, his eyes showed a fierce look, and said coldly: "I can't? The king of Tang is a rebel, Emperor Longwu dared to establish himself as emperor in Fuzhou before his bones were cold, relying on the support of rebellious ministers such as Su Guansheng and Zheng Zhilong , stand side by side with the emperor, the so-called one country does not allow two monarchs, the king of Tang did this, but he put the emperor in his eyes, such a reverse practice, what is the same line? We have not fought with the king of Fuzhou once or twice, why? Can’t we march into Fujian?”

Every time he said a word, he took a step forward and pushed towards Qu Shixu step by step. At the end of the sentence, he had already stood in front of Qu Shixu. Compared with Qu Shixu's thin body and bones, his strong body was too huge, like an elephant The difference with a sheep.

Qu Shishu looked at Du Yonghe who looked like a villain, but he was not afraid. The graceful demeanor he had cultivated over the years allowed him to face people as fierce as Du Yonghe without any stage fright. He said coldly: "The king of the Tang Dynasty did not respect his dignity, peeped at the great treasure, and brazenly proclaimed himself emperor. Of course, he deserved death. However, the throne of the emperor has been determined, and everyone in the world has surrendered. It is known to everyone in the world, and it is unreasonable for a young man to become arrogant. The sentence has been shaken, and Fuzhou has been defeated now, the king of Tang, the pseudo-Shaowu Emperor, is dead, Su Guan died in the rebellion, and Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Donglu. At this time, we should focus on the overall situation and concentrate on When you focus on dealing with Donglu, why bother caring about the fake Emperor Shaowu who no longer exists?"

The coldness on Du Yonghe's face became more and more intense, and he said coldly: "Since that's the case, Fujian has already fallen into the hands of Donglu, so Qu Shoupu taught me a warrior, why can't I march into Fujian?"

When Qu Shixu mentioned the words of Emperor Shaowu, blue veins appeared on the forehead of Emperor Yongli who was sitting on the dragon chair. Ninety percent of the excitement just now was feigned. The excitement at this time is basically his true colors.

Shaowu Emperor Zhu Yujian, the eighth grandson of the hereditary Tang King, and the younger brother of Longwu Emperor Zhu Yujian.

More than a year ago, when Emperor Longwu, who inherited the position of Emperor Hongguang, was raged to the extreme in Fuzhou by the Zheng's pirate group that was pushing against the Qing Dynasty, the most passionate and young emperor among the emperors of the Southern Ming Dynasty was enraged. He sent Huang Daozhou as the vanguard to resist the Qing troops attacking Fujian. He was defeated and captured in Tingzhou, and finally died on a hunger strike.

Seeking truth from facts, this method of death, as an emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is very virtuous.

But when Emperor Longwu died, who would be the emperor immediately became a problem.

Everyone wants to be the emperor of Taiping, and the sons and grandsons of the dragon may not be able to be the emperor if they squeeze their heads, because in the peaceful and prosperous age, there are conditions for wanting to be the emperor.

This condition is that your father, that is, the current emperor, has taken a fancy to you and made you the prince, so he is qualified to succeed the emperor. Therefore, the dragon sons who are not the eldest sons have to die as soon as possible.

Including the current Emperor Yongli, as a side relative of Shenzong, of course he is also in the list of giving up.

Since he could not become the Emperor of Taiping, being an emperor in troubled times became the next best thing. Li Zicheng entered Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on Meishan Mountain. None of his three sons escaped and died in the Qing court one after another. In his hands, Emperor Hongguang, the first emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, became the first side emperor to take advantage.

As soon as the precedent was set, the descendants of the Zhu family who survived by luck were regarded as sweet pastries by various powerful ministers and warlords. In the case of backward communication conditions at that time, emperors who relied on warlords of all sizes appeared in many places to stand on their own. Chongzhen's descendants were completely out of reach, and I don't know how many layers of distant relatives separated them. Most of these emperors were wiped out in the chaos of war and became a joke.

Emperor Shaowu was one of them.

Of course, the people he relies on are stronger and can survive longer.

With the support of Su Guansheng, Huang Daozhou, Zheng Zhilong and others, relying on the identity of Emperor Longwu's younger brother, he established his capital in Guangzhou, succeeded him as Datong, and became emperor for more than a month.

In this short month, Emperor Yongli succeeded to the throne in Guangxi with the support of Ding Kuichu, Qu Shishu and others, and also proclaimed himself emperor.

One mountain can't tolerate two tigers, let alone an emperor who dominates the world. Both Shaowu and Yongli looked at each other disliked. emperor.

Of course we can't agree.

Emperor Shaowu acted first and cut off the person Yongli sent to reason.

Emperor Yongli's men couldn't do anything to Shaowu's men, so they were completely defeated and retreated to Guangxi. Before Emperor Shaowu had time to be happy, the Qing soldiers entered the city of Guangzhou. The leading general was standing in the court at this moment Li Chengdong, after he entered the city, killed all the 24 clans of Ming dynasty vassals who had taken refuge in Emperor Shaowu.

The final outcome of Emperor Shaowu was to hang himself after being captured.

So for Emperor Yongli, Emperor Shaowu is not a name he likes to hear. More importantly, when he is mentioned, where is Li Chengdong who has put it all wrong?

So Emperor Yongli's gaze towards Qu Shixu gradually became cold, and the original intimate gaze disappeared.

But Qu Shixu seemed to be unaware, still arguing with Du Yonghe.

"Why? Because at the border between Fujian and Guangdong, the remnants of the Tang king are still staying behind." Qu Shishu frowned and said with some sadness: "Although Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he has a son named Sen, who is only twenty-five years old. He was as brave as a man of ten thousand men, and he was well versed in military books and well versed in military strategies. Emperor Longwu loved his talent and gave him a special name. This son summoned the rest of the Zheng family and gathered tens of thousands of soldiers. They were active in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou. If When we march into Fujian, there will inevitably be a conflict. In line with the principle that those who oppose the Qing Dynasty are our allies, we should avoid it for the time being. Marching from Jiangxi can break the siege of Jin Shengheng's Nanchang and fight against the Donglu."

Having said that, everyone basically understands that Qu Shisi is proceeding from the overall situation and wants to put aside the family status dispute for the time being and concentrate on fighting the Qing army.

However, some people don’t like to hear these words.

Du Yong and Jiu Jiu Wufu, after hearing such a big paragraph, they still couldn't think of a reason to refute it, they stood there like a piece of wood, and they didn't know what to say in a daze.

The hall was full of civil and military officials, buzzing and discussing, some people nodded and others shook their heads, Emperor Yongli's face was gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Qu Shixu disdained to talk to Du Yonghe, so he wanted to turn around and make a generous speech to Emperor Yongli.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, a voice spoke from behind him.

The voice is sinister, it sounds murderous, and it makes people feel cold all over.

"May I ask Qu Shoupu, then Zheng Chenggong, who is orthodox now? Who do you worship as emperor?"
