Chapter 525 Crisis

Zhu Hongsan's team left Nanjing Wharf on the first day of December, delaying five days from Qian Sunai because he wanted to prepare a prince's ceremonial guard for Prince Zhu Hai.

The Chinese people are the most concerned about the storefront. In ancient times, officials had to ring the gongs and open the way when they traveled, and any glorious things at home had to be posted on the gate. This was especially true for the emperors who were the rulers of the country. The trips of the Ming emperors were divided into three modes: Da Jialuo Book, the ceremonial guard, and the ceremonial guard. Da Jialuo Book was used for court sacrifices, the ceremonial guard was used for traveling within the imperial city, and the ceremonial guard was used for traveling around the world. These systems were decided by Zhu Yuanzhang after the founding of the country. In addition to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di was on the horse.

The emperor had used it, and the most unreasonable Emperor Zhengde had used it in Jiangnan. The other emperors rarely used it. In the late Ming Dynasty, the wars inside and outside the pass were tight, and the emperor had to wear patched clothes. This kind of ceremonial war that showed its majesty was not used for many years. When the emperors of the Southern Ming Dynasty could not even eat anything, they were still considering the superiority. Zhu Youjian, the most miserable king of Tang, asked his servants to find two dumplings after escaping Fujian and ate them with the queen (it was really two dumplings).

However, Zhu Hongsan from Guangdong is much stronger than those hard-working emperors. Guangdong has not been affected by the war. In addition, Zhu Hongsan's Guangdong new army has very strong combat effectiveness, so Zhu Hongsan doesn't have to run away in a hurry like his predecessors.

Although Zhu Hongsan was rich, he had two gold-eating beasts, the Army and Navy. Zhu Hongsan's personal life was probably not much different from that of the King of Tang. Zhu Hongsan had only four dishes and one soup for a meal. Among all the emperors in the Ming Dynasty, only Zhu Yuanzhang could compare. Because Zhu Hongsan had no money, the emperor's ceremonial guards were naturally arranged in Guangdong. Zhu Hongsan himself was the emperor of the horse. He believed that the most awesome thing was to take hundreds of thousands of troops out, which was no better than any ceremonial guards. Therefore, Zhu Hongsan never looked at such a face-saving project, so even the Taipu Temple ministers in charge of the emperor's chariots and horses were vacant in the Guangdong court.

But when he arrived in Nanjing, these institutions and ceremonial wars were ready. When Emperor Hongguang Zhu Yousong ascended the throne, he prepared a complete set. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yousong was caught in Beijing and beaten his head after only one year. These chariots and horses piled in the palace were cheaper Zhu Hongsan.

When Zhu Hongsan ordered Li Chengen to send someone to Wuchang to pass the imperial edict to the prince, he brought a complete set of emperor ceremonies for the prince to use. This was not what Zhu Hongsan had any idea, but Zhu Hongsan realized that he wanted Zhu Hai to join the army and almost died on the battlefield. He felt a little guilty towards Zhu Hai, so he was going to compensate Zhu Hai on this.

It was precisely because it took time and effort to prepare the chariots and horses, so it was not until December 15 that the eunuch sent to the palace to announce the imperial eunuch was the second-person in the palace, the eunuch of the internal official and the deputy director of the East Factory. Han Qi. Han Qi was 36 years old this year and was not as handsome as Li Chengen. He was only 1.6 meters tall and looked like a ground tank.

Logically speaking, this appearance is completely incomparable to Zhu Hongsan's eyes, but Han Qi and Zhu Hongsan met once. Zhu Hongsan was named King of Chu in Nanjing, and the eunuch was Han Qi. Therefore, after the city of Nanjing was broken, Han Qi sneaked out to Guangzhou and defected to Zhu Hongsan. Zhu Hongsan saw that this guy was also very pitiful, so he ordered him to serve as the eunuch in charge of the seal and manage everything in the palace.

Zhu Hai asked, "Who are you? You won't be a relative of this palace again!"

This young man is Han Wei, the godson of Han Qi. He was ordered by Han Qi to inform Zhu Hai. When he saw that there was another person beside Zhu Hai, he was anxious. Han Wei took out the waist card in his arms, presented it to Zhu Hai with both hands, and whispered: "Your Highness, I have something to say to the prince alone!"

When Zhu Hai heard this man say this, he knew it was an eunuch. After taking the sign, he saw the words "Inner Official Supervisor" engraved on it. Zhu Hai thought something was wrong in Nanjing, so he stood up and asked, "What's going on? Is there any change in Nanjing?"

Han Wei looked at Qian Sunai next to him and stopped talking.

Zhu Hai knew that he was afraid of leaking the news and whispered: "This is Mr. Qian, my confidant. Tell me what you have!"

Since the prince said that this person was a confidant, Han Wei no longer concealed it. He knelt down and kowtowed and whispered: "My master, I am the godson of Han Qi, the internal official supervisor. Now Eunuch Han has arrived in Wuchang with His Majesty's imperial edict. The godfather of the servant asked the prince to report the letter first, so be prepared!"

What does the father’s will mean? If it is normal for me to return to Beijing, I don’t have to be so sneaky and read it directly. Why is this now?

Han Wei continued: "My master, in addition to bringing the imperial edict to return to Beijing, the slave's godfather also has a secret to execute the secret edict to his wife. The slave's godfather is afraid that he will not know, so he secretly sends the slave to report the message first!"

Zhu Hai was shocked when he heard the news. He was also very upset about Xiang Rong'er's affairs in the past few months. He originally planned to return to Nanjing to explain to his father, but he didn't expect that his father was so well-informed that he knew it early. Zhu Hai did not expect that his father was so ruthless. Xiang Rong'er was pregnant with his own child, so his father could not care about his family affection and say he would be given death if he said he would be given death.

Qian Sunai, who was next to him, heard the little eunuch say this. He had contact with his cheap brother-in-law Zhu Hongsanshen in Guangdong. He knew that this brother-in-law was not a thing. In his eyes, there was only the world. The throne was the most important. Women could abandon any other family affection. A few days ago, Qian Sunai learned that Zhu Hai was carrying Zhu Hongsan and he knew that it was not good. According to Zhu Hongsan's temperament, he must secretly deal with the woman.

Zhu Hai sat in the chair for a long time before he recovered. Seeing Qian Sunai sitting beside him, yes! There is also such a strategist, let me hear what he said!

"Mr. Qian, what do you think should be done?"

Qian Sunai said in his heart: The safest thing now is to let go and let the emperor deal with Xiang Rong'er quietly, so that there would be nothing to say in the Ma family. But Qian Sunai knew that he could not say this, and heard the prince ask, "Your Highness, what do you want to do?"
