Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Sword in One Hand, a Cross in the Other

"The French court attaches great importance to the visit of the Crown Prince of Vietnam," said Tang Jingsong, "The Crown Prince spent ten months in France, most of the time, in the palace, and he was the same age as the French Crown Prince. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the French couple may have other plans in mind, but on the face, they treat the crown prince of Yingrui very kindly, and the shape of 'treating it as their own' is probably not too much. ”

"Some small means of enveloping are also very beautifulβ€”the court hairdresser named a hairstyle 'Prince of Cochinchina,' and the court painter painted a portrait of the Crown Prince of Eng Rui -- a replica of this portrait that I saw when I was in Vietnam, and the Crown Prince of Ting Rui was dressed in a dress, and the whole person was ...... Hey, hey, in good spirits. ”

The audience looked at each other: Well, sure enough...... It's beautiful.

"I think," Guan Zhuofan said slightly, "Crown Prince Yingrui has been in exile for as long as he can remember, and even ...... In the past ten months in France, he has probably never had one. At that time, the crown prince was only a six- or seven-year-old child, and it is conceivable that for him, the deep impression of traveling to France will be indelible for life, and when he gets older, he will not be able to get rid of the law. ”

"The prince is wise!" Tang Jingsong said, "That's right! ”

After a pause, "Bai Duolu also has a very profound impact on the Crown Prince of Yingrui. Bai Duolu is the teacher of the prince of Yingrui, and in the battle for the restoration of the country, the two brothers and sisters led an army together, and they have been fighting side by side, born and died together. For the crown prince, this French missionary can be regarded as 'both a teacher and a father'. ”

"In terms of feelings alone, Prince Yingrui is probably more cordial to Baiduolu than to King Jialong."

"Bai Duolu followed the king of Jialong, fought in the south and the north, and finally became ill and died of illness on the journey. The death of Bai Duolu was a great blow to the crown prince of Yingrui, and almost overnight, the crown prince's temperament changed greatly, and he was addicted to wine and indulged in indulgence. But two years later, he fell ill and died. ”

"The official version of the Crown Prince is smallpox, but the French, as well as the 'teaching' people in Vietnam, believe it...... The crown prince was poisoned. ”

Everyone's hearts sank slightly.

"The secret affairs of the palace can not be investigated," Tang Jingsong said, "However, it may not be without reason. ”

"The crown prince is very 'Western' -- that's all, the point is that he believes in Catholicism."

Belief?

"Although he was never 'baptized' because of his too sensitive identity, after he returned to Vietnam from France, his daily behavior was the same as that of 'Zaijiao' - he did not bow down and worship at the temple; In front of the altar, there is a "cross" ceremony, and there is also a regular "mass" in the church. ”

The audience looked at each other.

It's really-

Well, this is really good material for the "Belt and Road Party".

"King Jialong is heartbroken," said Tang Jingsong, "but there is nothing he can do about it, he cannot accuse the crown prince - not even in private." ”

He promised to pass through Baiduolu, the restoration of the country was successful, and the Catholic Church was allowed to spread freely in Vietnam, and there was no reason not to allow his son to believe in religion first. At that time, a hundred battles were difficult, and militarily, before relying on legal persons and the overall situation was undecided, they must not be suspicious of each other. ”

"However, many people have already paid attention to what the crown prince Yingrui has done, and many people have muttered in private, even if the restoration of the country is successful, but how can the Ruan family's Jiangshan Sheji be passed on to such a person? Didn't the left hand take it, and the right hand handed it to the French? ”

"In this way," Guo Songtao said, "King Jialong was not passed on to the crown prince in the end, which is reasonable, and I can't rest assured that whoever is replaced." ”

"Yes," Tang Jingsong said, "but some people are happy and some are worried." ”

After a pause, "The French and the 'teaching' people are very disappointed, and there are many people who have nothing to do with themselves, and there are also many who are unhappy with the father and son of the Prince Yingrui. In order to appease the dissatisfaction, King Jialong named the two brothers of the prince and grandson as the Duke of Ying and the Duke of Taiping, and made it clear that the two brothers of the Duke of Ying and the Duke of Taiping were not as good as ordinary clans and were the same as the princes. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled, "It should be said that it is 'prince' - 'prince', which is the Vietnamese themselves." ”

Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly, "The trick that people play behind closed doors, let's ignore him for the time being-the day when we have him reasoned." ”

After a pause, "King Jialong's hand is not clever!" He has good intentions, but good intentions do bad things! Those who should be dissatisfied, as they are still dissatisfied--the throne is gone, where is a fluttering 'Yitong...... The Prince's compensation? Besides, isn't this a thorn in the heart of the one who succeeds to the throne? It is not only a calamity for the crown prince of Yingrui, but also a calamity for the country! It's really ...... Love is enough to harm! ”

"The prince is wise!" Tang Jingsong said, "Within a few years, something happened!" ”

"In the fourth year after King Ming Ming succeeded to the throne, it was reported that the eldest son of the crown prince Ying and Gong Nguyen Fu Mei Tang - that is, the original prince grandson - and his mother Song Shi Juan *** Ming ordered Wang Li to arrest Ying and Gong and the mother and son, and after the investigation, Ying and Gong were abolished as concubines, and the crown princess of Ying Rui was drowned in prison."

All the audience, including Guan Zhuofan, frowned.

Why is it so dirty? Why don't you charge someone with ...... "rebellion"?

After a little thought, I understood: If it is a "rebellion", the disaster of Ruan Phuc Mei Tang will not only stop at "abolishing the concubine" - he will have to be killed, but at this time, the king of Ming Ming did not dare to do such a hot hand to his nephew.

"The Ming Destiny King wants to put an end to future troubles forever," Wen Xiang shook his head slightly, "However, it has gone too far, and it must not be convincing!" ”

"Zhongtang is right," Tang Jingsong said, "big trouble is still to come!" ”

"The identity of the person who 'denounces' should be the same as the male mother and son** is very paradoxical. This person's name is Li Wenyue, and he is one of the two ministers who followed King Jialong's restoration of the country and Dingding, and King Jialong's deathbed entrusted Gu. Li Wenyue continued to rise in the Ming Dynasty, and finally became the head town of Nanqi, and he was one of the three points, and he was really a prince. ”

"That's it, the key is that Li Wenyue is 'teaching', and the relationship with the French is also very close, and in the battle for the heir, he originally supported Nguyen Phuc My Tang and opposed King Mingming, even if King Gia Long finally persuaded him that he would no longer oppose King Mingming's succession, he would not turn upside down and devour the Yingrui Crown Prince's line!"

"Some people say that Li Wenyue was caught by King Mingming, and he can't help but obey; Some people say that the king of Ming Ming promised him that he would 'after the deed is completed' and that he would be forever in Nanqi for generations - if it was the latter, Li Wenyue would have greatly regretted it, because as soon as he died, the king of Ming Ming would abolish the post of the general town and send the governor, the governor, and the governor to take over the military administration of Nanqi. Soon after, a decree was issued to severely condemn Li Wenyue for all kinds of lawlessness during his lifetime, and severely punished him: he was stripped of his name, his graves were demolished, and his henchmen were arrested. ”

After a pause, "More than a dozen of Li Wenyue's relatives were all executed. ”

The audience said in their hearts: Okay, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking.

However, although the net is dense, there will eventually be a mistake, Li Wenyue's adopted son Li Wenkui escaped from prison, led the dead soldiers, turned back to kill, slaughtered Buzheng, killed the governor, and then pulled the flag and set off the cannon. Li Wenyue's prestige in Nanqi was long-awaited, and Li Wenkui responded to it, and soon, most of Nanqi rebelled. ”

"At this time, the French came to join in the fun, and a missionary named Mar Champ called on the Catholics to raise up their troops and turn Vietnam into a 'land of God's blessings'. Many believers in Vietnam, including the French, Cham and Chinese, responded to the call and praised the work. ”

"Le Van Kui and Ma Thanh Yi are the callers of Nguyen Phuc My Tang, who was deposed as a concubine at that time, and they claim that Nguyen Phuc Kyauk is a usurper, and Wang Taisun is Zhengshuo."

"Well, King Mingming's name is Nguyen Phuc Kyauk."

"Lai's father and son are in this Ruan Phuoc Mei Tang, it can be said that they have turned their hands into clouds and covered their hands into rain!" Cao Yuying sighed and said, "Li Wenyue supported his succession first, and raised his mother and son ** after him - almost caused his catastrophe!" Turning his head, Li Wenkui embraced him as 'Zhengshuo' -- it was really the world turned upside down. ”

"What Zhuo Gong saw was very true," said Tang Jingsong, "but, in any case, the words 'usurpation' and 'Zhengshuo' were quite demagogic, and for a time, the rebels were very powerful, and soon captured the six provinces of Nanqi; later, even Siam also made Le Van Kui's foreign aid -- King Rama III of Siam sent a large army, divided into five routes, and advanced by water to invade Vietnam. ”

"This rebellion was finally put down, Le Van Kui died early, and his sons Le Van Ju and Mar Huong and others were also captured and sent to the capital Hue and executed by Ling Chi, but the country has been greatly damaged, and the aftermath continues."

"After the rebellion of Li Wenkui was put down, the imperial court involved relatives of the rebellious party, including Li Wenkui's brother-in-law, Nong Wenyun. At that time, Nong Wenyun was doing the governor of Polyna, and he was unwilling to be killed, so he simply pulled the flag and set off the cannon. So, the south has not stopped, and the north is chaotic again. ”

"Nong Wenyun couldn't defeat the official army, so he crossed the border and ran to China to hide, and the official army retreated, so he returned to Vietnam and continued to make trouble. In the end, Ruan Chao asked the Celestial Empire for help, and the ruling party at that time also felt that it was really not a matter if it continued to make trouble like this, so he drove the Nong Wenyun brothers out of the realm, and this mess was finally eliminated. ”

"Wei Qing," Wen Xiang said, "you said before that the king of Ming ordered the ban on religion, 'there is also a reason for him - it is the French missionaries who can't stand me first', is that referring to this chaos?" ”

"Yes!"

"This matter," Wen Xiang said, "Speaking seriously, the song is in the legal person, not in the Ming Ming King, and it seems that the Ming Ming King can't be blamed for 'breaking his word and getting fat' for the previous king-you preach obediently, how can you get involved in the dispute between the heirs of others?" ”

"Zhongtang is right!" Tang Jingsong said, "However, the French in Vietnam absolutely refused to just 'obediently proselytize,' and they seemed to be addicted to the struggle for the unification of Vietnam."

After a pause, "The rebellion of Li Wenkui caused the relationship between the Ruan Dynasty and the Catholic two families to tie a dead knot, and after the Ming Dynasty ordered the king, the Shaozhi Dynasty continued to ban religion and did not loosen it slightly; In the Side Dynasty, it was even more severe - King Side issued two bans on Christianity. The French finally couldn't stand it anymore, so they repeated their tricks and colluded with Nguyen Phuc Hong Bao, the king of An Phuong County, with the intention of launching a coup d'Γ©tat, helping him to ascend the throne and replacing him with the heir King Duc. After the incident, Nguyen Phuc Hong Bao was given death, and all his descendants changed their surname to Ding. ”

"It was precisely because of the failure of the coup d'Γ©tat that the French felt that there was no other way to go, so they made up their minds to attack Vietnam."

"In my opinion," said Xu Gengshen, "in fact, it is not the case that the missions of the Taixi countries have never been 'obedient', and this is true in Vietnam, and in our China, in fact, it is also the same -- otherwise, why would Emperor Sejong Xian issue an edict to ban religion? ”

Among the audience, there was more than one person, nodding slightly.

"'Spreading the gospel' is certainly high-sounding," Cao Yuying said, "but there must be something else behind it, and when the time comes, it will naturally do what it wants." Therefore...... although it is no longer feasible to 'ban religion', we still have to find ways to make it a barrier. ”

This is a very heavy topic, and all the people here have solemn faces -- the alliance under the city is still there, how to "find a way"? How to "make it fence for me"?

"There's a saying from Tessie," Guan Zhuofan said slowly, "'One hand holds a sword, the other holds a cross'β€”everyone, remember this sentence!" ”

Everyone's hearts sank, and they said in unison: "Yes, obey the prince's edict!" ”
