Chapter 187: The Captured Emperor
"Lord Lin said it so well." When Huang Xiyin heard this, not only did he not mean to leave, but sat down on a chair next to him, and looked at Lin Yuji with the corner of his eye, "If the general's soldiers and horses are all in Fujian, do you Lord Lin still want to be alone?" ”
Lin Xiangji said with a dark face: "Because the people of Jianzhou are difficult to fill, and they have violated the Ming Dynasty, so they have to lose this way, what does it have to do with me?" ”
"Oh? Can't get enough of it? Huang Xiyin said with a smile, "Xia Guan remembers that when Lord Lin secretly visited the general last month, he seemed to say: 'Your Majesty the Emperor, you should be famous in the world, and the Holy Emperor of the Eight Desolations and Xiange. Mountains and rivers shine with the sun and the moon; Guozuo will ...... forever with Qiankun'"
Lin Xuji's face became even more ugly. Last month, Boluo's 70,000 troops went south in two ways, Zheng Zhilong sacrificed Xianxia Pass, and saw that the 50,000 captives entered Fujian, but they did not encounter the slightest resistance.
At that time, not only he Lin Xuji, but almost the entire Tianxing Mansion officials thought that the Ming Dynasty was going to die. It happened that he went to Yanping Mansion on a business trip at that time, in order to ensure the safety of the family and his future, he took a few henchmen to secretly lose his sincerity to Bolo.
What Huang Xiyin said was exactly the compliment he said to Bo Luo that day, and then he would say, "On the day when the Heavenly Army enters Tianxing Mansion, the lower officials will kneel down to greet each other." ”
He hurriedly interrupted Huang Xiyin, "You, don't talk nonsense......"
"Oh? It doesn't matter if you don't remember," Huang Xiyin continued, "Lord Lin's Shun Table and the Jade Qilin General dedicated to the Great General can be well kept. By the way, the general said that if he can't get out of Fujian, I'm afraid that these things will be searched by the Ming army. ”
Lin Yuji trembled when he heard this, the jade unicorn was okay to say, but the shun table he wrote to the Qing court had his own signature. If this thing is seen, he will be guilty of treason and defection to the enemy, and the Nine Clans will not be able to protect it!
And now that King Chen's army is trapped in the Yanping area and cut off its grain and grass, seeing that the captive army has been unable to make any waves, at this time he Lin Xuji is a Ming official, and he has nothing to do with the captivity.
But Huang Xiyin actually used these to threaten himself. Lin Xuji put his heart sideways, he must not let this surnamed Huang leave alive today!
Huang Xiyin saw him slowly retreating towards the door of the house, his eyes were full of murderous intent, but he took a moment to say: "Please also ask Lord Lin to think of a way as soon as possible, if the lower officials have not left the city after dawn, Lord Lin's yearning for my Great Qing Dynasty will be known to the world." ”
"You ......" Lin Yuji was stunned for a moment, and for a while, he sat on the chair like a wilted cucumber, and said listlessly, "Just this time, when the matter is over, I want to get that thing back." ”
"Well said."
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"As the following officer said before, the general wants all the soldiers and horses to withdraw from Fujian safely."
Lin Xiangji squinted and thought for a while, then shook his head dejectedly, "This is impossible, even if you kill me, you will never be able to do it." ”
Huang Xiyin nodded and said: "The general doesn't want to embarrass Lord Lin, as long as you can arrange the Ming Court and my Qing Regent's envoy to negotiate peace and dismiss the army, it will be the work of the lord." ”
Lin Xiangji pondered again, and still said: "It's difficult, it's difficult!" Thinking about the defeat of Tumubao that year, Yingzong was captured, and the ministers were all opposed to peace. When Salhu was in the air, Yang Hao said that he wanted to negotiate peace, but he was scolded by the official and bloody. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a discussion of peace......"
"This will require Lord Lin to worry a lot." Huang Xiyin just stared at his eyes.
It was already hot in the secret room, and after a short time, Lin Yuji was already sweating profusely, and after a long time, he finally raised his head with difficulty and said: "If you want to do this, your dynasty must give up two people." ”
"Who?"
Lin Xuji's voice trembled slightly, "Emperor Hongguang...... and King Lu. ”
Hongguang was the first emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty after Chongzhen's death, and King Lu was the prison country elected by everyone after Hongguang. The former was captured after the destruction of Nanjing, and the latter took the initiative to surrender to the state soon after, and both were imprisoned in Beijing at this time.
Huang Xiyin only hesitated slightly, and then responded: "This matter is not very difficult, as long as the Ming court agrees to negotiate peace and dismiss the army, these two will immediately return to Ming." ”
Lin Xuji shook his head with a wry smile, "Definitely." When it was the Gui Dynasty who ...... the two of them," he made a downward slash motion, "only then can there be a matter of peace." ”
Huang Xiyin suddenly realized that the Ming Emperor of Fujian was actually a sparse domain, and the blood relationship between him and Chengzu was far away. And Hongguang and King Lu are the grandsons of Wanli and the sons of Longqing, and they both have more legitimacy to inherit the throne than Longwu.
In addition, today's Emperor Tai Zheng of the Ming Dynasty is still a baby, and he is an absolute disadvantage in the face of Hongguang or King Lu. Especially now that there are internal and external troubles, the vast majority of courtiers will definitely expect an adult emperor to rule.
Therefore, Emperor Hongguang and King Lu, who are now captured in Beijing, are a huge threat to the little emperor of Fujian. In a sense, this threat was even worse than that of the 100,000 Qing troops.
This Lin Xuji really pointed out a clear way. Huang Xiyin nodded secretly, he said that if he killed Hongguang and King Lu, he would be able to negotiate peace, in fact, in other words, he could threaten the Ming court with this, if he did not accept the peace, Hongguang and King Lu would return to Fujian.
With this article, I am not afraid of clinging to the power of the little emperor and not bowing my head!
"Good!" He then nodded, "According to what Lord Lin said, the lower official will return to the general, and I will bother you here." ”
Lin Xiangji had a handle in the hands of others, so he had to nod helplessly.
"Oh, there's one more thing." Huang Xiyin said, "Now that there is the intention of negotiating peace, the general will now gather the army and gather in Yanping to wait." However, before the results are discussed, the army will always need to be supplied with some food and grass. ”
