Chapter 410 Murder and Punishment

"Your Highness, Lord Qu asks for a visit!"

Zhu Youlang's personal eunuch Lu Ge said respectfully.

Zhu Youlang was overjoyed when he heard this.

I really hope for whatever I want. If you want to talk about who Zhu Youlang wants to see the most now, it must be Qu Shishi.

Qu Shisi was the highest official position among the officials Zhu Youlang could directly contact, and was also the first to support Zhu Youlang to seize the throne. Zhu Youlang regarded him as his Zhang Liang and Xiao He.

He hurried down from the attic and even trotted without even caring about his demeanor.

Compared with other princes’ mansions, Prince Gui’s mansion is not very big.

This is not because the King of Gui is not popular, but because they fled to Guangxi.

How could the royal palace be perfect in a hurry? However, there are still main halls and pavilions.

Everyone in the royal family knew the relationship between Qu Shixi and his prince, so they naturally did not dare to neglect them. At this moment, Qu Shixi was resting in the side hall for tea.

Seeing His Highness King Gui arrive in a hurry, Qu Shixi quickly stood up to greet him.

"My minister Qu Shizi pays homage to His Highness, Prince Gui, and he is thousands of years old."

Qu Shizi bowed to Zhu Youlang for a long time, and Zhu Youlang smiled and helped him up.

"Mr. Qu, I am just talking about you just now, but I didn't expect you to come."

In the early Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang issued an imperial edict, requiring all officials to kneel down and bow when meeting the prince. Even if he was a official, he had to kneel down and kowtow obediently.

But now it is no longer the early Ming Dynasty. Regardless of military officers, the status of officials has reached its peak, and even the emperor will rule the world with the scholars and officials. The officials are not even afraid of the emperor, are they afraid of a mere vassal king?

It is very rare for Qu Shili to be able to salute Zhu Youlang in this way.

Zhu Youlang naturally would not blame such things and took the initiative to give Qu Shili a seat.

"Prince, I have something important to report to the prince."

Qu Shi said slowly and slowly.

"Oh? But news came from Fujian?"

Although there are people in the Gui Palace to Fujian, Qu Shixi must not be idle either.

Judging from Qu Shixi's attitude, he must have made some progress.

"That's not." Qu Shishi paused and then continued: "It's Ding Kuichu, he let go."

Zhu Youlang was very disappointed when he heard the first half of the sentence, but he couldn't help but feel excited when he heard the second half of the sentence.

"Why did that guy suddenly change his temper?"

In Zhu Youlang's opinion, Ding Kuichu is like an old man who has been in the officialdom for many years. Such a person is not so arrogant and will never jump out on his own when he sees slowness.

This is also the reason why Zhu Youlang repeatedly criticized Ding Kuichu and wanted Ding Kuichu to express his opinion, but Ding Kuichu has always been ambiguous.

But what happened today? Ding Kuichu actually let go?

Zhu Youlang still felt a little unbelievable, so he paused and said, "Is it because of Fujian?"

Qu Shixi nodded and said, "The prince is wise. Although I have not obtained conclusive evidence yet, the clerk reported that Ding Kuichu has been in contact with Zheng Zhilong recently."

I see!

Zhu Youlang suddenly realized.

If so, this would explain.

Ding Kuichu has been in contact with Zheng Zhilong, and must have learned through conversation that Zheng Zhilong decided to cooperate with him, so he simply broke the window paper.

This is of course a good thing for Zhu Youlang.

There will never be too many allies and supporters.

One Qu Shishi is not enough, but Zheng Zhilong and Ding Kuichu are almost the same.

Both of them are local powerful factions, and the combined forces of the two provinces must be about 200,000. In addition, the soldiers from Guangxi can barely fight with the court.

"Zheng Zhilong, Ding Kuichu"

Zhu Youlang repeatedly knocked his fingers and pondered for a moment: "Since the two are on the front line, Ding Kuichu's attitude is Zheng Zhilong's attitude. Now Guangxi, Guangdong and Fujian are connected together. Mr. Qu thought when should he raise his troops to clear the emperor?"

Seeing Zhu Youlang so anxious, Qu Shisi waved his hand and said, "Prince, you must not be too hasty in this matter. Although the three of us are now allies, the relationship between us is very loose. If we really want to fight a tough battle, it will definitely not be enough. Besides, the court had just won a great victory in Sichuan and its reputation was at its peak. At this time, we may be in trouble and we may be in the name of our army!"

Qu Shixi's words are not unreasonable. After all, there is no possibility of turning back when something like rebellion is done, and if you fail, you will be successful.

Therefore, we must make complete preparations.

Take Zhu Youlang's just mentioned Qingjun as an example. Since you are under this banner, you must be able to list the crimes. During the Jingshou Emperor Yongle, did not list the list of Huang Zicheng and other criminals?

And who are you Zhu Youlang going to write?

"This is not difficult. The court won in Sichuan, but it cannot change the fact that the emperor was bewitched by treacherous ministers. We can list the factory guards as treacherous."

The East Factory, the Jinyiwei, and the inner factory established later, have always been the target of criticism by officials and officials.

There is definitely no big problem with using them as treacherous and criticizing them.

But Qu Shixi still felt that this strength was not enough.

"If Your Highness insists on getting up as soon as possible, I am afraid that you cannot use the banner of Qingjunfang."

Zhu Youlang was stunned.

Qu Shisi has always supported his decisions. But now Qu Shisi wants to openly oppose it?

He was a little unhappy, but he still asked with a tight temper: "Sir, do you have a better choice?"

Qu Shixi sighed in his heart. Although His Highness, although His Highness, is still too impatient and not calm enough.

Then let him help King Gui control the rhythm.

"Do your Highness know the identity of the son today?"

Zhu Youlang frowned when he saw him asking such a question: "This is naturally known. The current emperor is the prince of Yizong."

Qu Shizi raised her eyebrows and said, "What if he is not?"

Zhu Youlang woke up like a dream, and felt ecstatic.

Wonderful, it's really wonderful! Why didn't he expect such a good reason?

Compared to this, it is simply not worth mentioning about clearing the king's side.

The Qing dynasty refers to the emperor being bewitched by treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treache

But Qu Shixi means to question Zhu Cilang's true identity and fundamentally deny the legitimacy of your succession to the great power.

"When he broke into the rebellion and besieged Shenjing, Emperor Yizong could not escape, and was in trouble with the empress, the imperial concubine, and the princes. Why did he escape? Perhaps he just looked a little similar to the prince of Yizong."

Tsk tsk, even Zhu Youlang now has to admire Qu Shisi's viciousness.

If the prince is fake, the legitimacy of his ascension to the throne will naturally not exist. Then Zhu Youlang's uprising will be justified. If he replaces it, he will maintain the imperial and Ming ancestry.

"But what is the reason? Just guessing is not enough."
