Chapter 1155: The Corner of the Handsome
Zhou Shixiang had another day of being manipulated like a puppet, although he was the king of Qi, the commander of the army, and the butcher who killed the Manchurians, but at the wedding, he was honestly manipulated, and he didn't dare to have any resentment, but he had to hang an extremely bright smile.

For thousands of years in China, if you say when a person is the most amiable and when is the most obedient, I am afraid that it is to marry a daughter-in-law.
Emperor Dingwu had gifts for the princess, and Emperor Dingwu gave him a jade pendant that he wore closely. Although this jade pendant is not a valuable item, it was something that Emperor Longwu wore when he was still the king of Tang. This jade pendant Dingwu Emperor wore it for 30 years, and now he gives this jade pendant as a dowry to the princess, which shows his love and pity for this niece.
Queen Chen's gift to the princess is even more ordinary, but two sets of ordinary children's clothes. But when the princess took these two sets of clothes, she was in tears, because these two sets of clothes were made by Queen Chen herself, and every stitch and thread was a distraction from the queen's mother, who was born as a palace maid in her early years, for her niece.
The princess of the Qi Palace's welcoming team picked up the princess outside the Donghua Gate, Yongxing King Zhu Linwei sent the relatives on behalf of the royal family, and he is also the princess's cousin, Zhou Shixiang, the brother-in-law of the King of Qi.
Last month, Emperor Dingwu had sent a decree to the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites, preparing to crown Zhu Linwei as the king of Tang, so as to inherit the Tang domain, but this will was suppressed by the cabinet's Ding Zhixiang and Yuan Kuoyu.
Shoufu Guo Zhiqi also felt that it was inappropriate for the emperor to canonize King Yongxing as the King of Tang now, because he had vaguely heard some rumors about King Yongxing's weak heart. In addition, now that Tang Fan has replaced Yan Fan and sat on the throne of Emperor Ming, if Zhu Linwei inherits Tang Domain, does that mean that the emperor is ready to canonize him as the crown prince?
Regarding the canonization of the crown prince, Guo Zhiqi once tested Zhou Shixiang's tone, but the other party was noncommittal, and did not have a clear attitude, only saying that the matter of the prince would still be decided by the Son of Heaven at that time.
But Zhou Shixiang is like this, Guo Zhiqi feels that this matter cannot be hasty.
Feeling that Zhou Shixiang's desire to usurp the throne is increasing every day, Guo Zhiqi believes that if the emperor canonizes the crown prince at this time, it is likely to provoke Zhou Shixiang to usurp the throne in advance. Therefore, after knowing that Ding Zhixiang and they suppressed the emperor's holy decree, Guo Zhiqi did not press them as the first assistant and forced the decree to be issued so that the raw rice could be cooked for rice, but remained silent.
After Emperor Dingwu learned that the cabinet did not convey his will, he was a little angry, but also a little helpless, and even understood Guo Zhiqi's thoughts, so the matter was put down. However, Zhu Linwei was so angry that he couldn't do it after knowing that the will of the King of Jin and Tang was beaten back by the cabinet, according to the people around King Yongxing, Zhu Linwei once scolded the cabinet scholars in the house alone.
If you can't be the king of Tang, it doesn't necessarily mean that you can't be the prince.
They advised Zhu Linwei not to be in a hurry to seek the prince's affairs, and should be filial to the Son of Heaven, and visit the emperor in the palace every day, in exchange for the Son of Heaven's favor for him.
During this time, don't mention the matter of King Tang again, in this way, there is blood kinship, and the Son of Heaven is not in good health, and Zhu Linwei will be appointed as the crown prince in the future.
The so-called can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, the current emperor is just such a nephew, who else can the throne be passed on to if it is not passed to him?
Zhu Linwei was right to think about it, so he put away his fiery heart of being a prince, and went into the palace to visit his uncle almost every day these days, asking if he was filial to the cold and warmth. He was also very enthusiastic about the princess's marriage, and after being busy, Queen Chen looked very satisfied, and the princess also had a good impression of this brother.
However, Zhu Linwei has never met his "brother-in-law" Zhou Shixiang, and this time as a regular envoy to send off his relatives, it is also the first time he has the opportunity to meet the rumored commander of the Taiping Army. Before that, the strategists around him repeatedly told him that he must behave appropriately in front of the King of Qi, and he must not let the King of Qi despise him. Because, whether Zhu Linwei can be the crown prince or not, in addition to the attitude of Emperor Dingwu is very important, the king of Qi Zhou Shixiang is also very important.
Zhu Linwei deeply thought of the strategist's words, although Zhou Shixiang, the brother-in-law of the powerful minister, may pose a threat to him in the future, but that is in the future, and at present, the important thing for him is to become the prince first. If you can't even be the crown prince, how can you compete with the brother-in-law of the powerful minister in the future.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a powerful minister who can have a good end, and the power of the government will eventually return to the hands of the emperor.
Zhu Linwei is confident that he is no worse than others, as long as he is the emperor, he will definitely do better than any of the previous emperors, and will never let the Ming Dynasty be surnamed Zhou by Zhu.
However, that is in the future, and now Zhu Linwei has a smile on his face, and he is sincerely happy for the princess and King Qi to get married.
In addition to Zhu Linwei, the main envoy, there are also two deputy envoys, both of whom are from the clan. One is Zhu Hongheng, the son of King Lu, and the other is Zhu Shugui, the king of Ningjing.
However, the two clans obviously kept a distance from Zhu Linwei, in the eyes of others, this is the distinction between the deputy envoys, but the essence is that Lu Shizi and King Ning Jing don't want to stand with Zhu Linwei at all, and they don't want to be close to him, even if he may become the crown prince and become the future emperor.
Zhu Linwei fled from Jinmen regardless of other clans, but it made Zhu Hongheng and Zhu Shugui both disappointed and chilled. They came to the southern capital in March with Zheng Zheng, the prince of Fujian, and dozens of clans in Jinxia came with them.
Since Jiashen, the clan has died, the old is old, and it can be said that it is withered, so after the Jinxia clan came to the southern capital, Emperor Dingwu was very happy. Supporting the sick body to hold a banquet in the palace to entertain them, and sent a decree to the cabinet to redefine the score of the clan, those who should inherit will be inherited, and those who should be promoted to the lord will be promoted to the lord, in order to show the emperor's care for the same clan. However, just like the holy decree of sealing Zhu Linwei as the king of Tang, this holy decree was also suppressed in the cabinet.
This time, it was not Ding Zhixiang and Yuan Kuoyu who stopped it, but Zhou Shixiang personally sent a message to suppress this holy decree. The reason is very simple, Zhou Shixiang doesn't want to have a bunch of Prince Zhu Ming and the prince of the county come out, because he thinks these people are not qualified. If they really want to be princes and county kings, then they will earn it themselves from the battlefield. One of the constitutional reforms is that in the future, unless you make great contributions, you will not be promoted to the king, and all the emperor's sons will be like this.
Regarding the arrangement of the Zhu Ming clan, Zhou Shixiang is in line with letting them support themselves, and the capable and talented can be located in the court, and if you are incompetent and talented, the court will not support you for a lifetime, build a big palace for you, allocate a number of fields, and allocate as many people as tenants for you.
After the Qi Wangfu pick-up team arrived, they happily sent the princess to the Qi Wangfu, and then according to the arrangement of the ceremonial officer, they completed their mission of "sending relatives".
Most of Zhou Shixiang's relatives and generals were outside, and only a few people such as Tie Yi, the governor of the Fifth War Zone, were in Nanjing, and they were also guests directly invited by Zhou Shixiang.
Zheng Zheng, the prince of Fujian, also came to the palace of the king of Qi to congratulate, and brought Zhou Shixiang a good news, his brother Tagawa Nanazaemon borrowed 1,000 troops from the Wa State to return to China, and was willing to help the king of Qi go north to pacify Manchukuo and save his father.
The name Tagawa Nanazaemon made Zhou Shixiang not react for a long time, and after Zheng Xi explained, he learned that this Tagawa was Zheng Zhilong's second son, the younger brother of Zheng Chenggong, but he was passed on by Zheng Zhilong to his wife Tagawa's maiden family, so he did not enter the Zheng family's family tree.
Tagawa has always been the representative of the Zheng family in Japan, Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, after Zheng Chenggong's anti-Qing uprising, Tagawa has been in Japan to help his eldest brother take care of business, send manpower and material resources to supply his brother's army, and maintain the Zheng family's maritime trade routes, and is also very influential in the Tokugawa shogunate.
Zheng Xun said that after Tian Chuan knew that his eldest brother died, he sent someone to Jinxia to contact, knowing that his younger brother Zheng Zheng inherited the title of Prince of the Ming Dynasty from his brother, and that the sailors under the eldest brother's subordinates were under the unified command of the Ming Dynasty to fight in the north, Tian Chuan organized nearly a thousand Japanese warriors and Zheng's family in Japan, ready to return to China to participate in the war against Manchuria, and save his father.
"Tian Chuan vows to serve the country and save his father, how can this king not allow it?"
Zhou Shixiang smiled and agreed to Zheng Xi's request, appointed Tian Chuan as the commander-in-chief, and asked him to lead his troops to Chongming to accept the unified command of the water division.
Zheng Xi was very grateful, and immediately asked Ling to be willing to go north with the sailor, but was politely rejected by Zhou Shixiang.
Zheng Xi knew the reason for the rejection, and he didn't mind, because he was not good at fighting.
However, Zhou Shixiang told Zheng Xi one thing, that is, Huang Wu, who betrayed his eldest brother Zheng Sen, wanted to return to Ming anyway through Huang Zongxi, the general constitution.
"King Qi, how many people in my Zheng family have been killed by Huang Wu's bastard, how can he make him anyway, what does Huang Nanlei think, doesn't he know the relationship between Huang Wu and my Zheng family!"
Zheng Xi was extremely angry when he heard this, not only angry that Huang Wu, the villain, wanted to eat back grass now, but also angry that Huang Zongxi, a big Confucian, actually spoke for this villain.
Zhou Shixiang said with a smile: "Prince Min doesn't need to worry, I have ordered not to accept Huang Wu anyway, in addition, I also asked Zheng Mingjun's uncle and nephew to find a way to capture Shi Lang alive, if this person can be captured, he will definitely be sent to Prince Min for disposal." ā
"Shi Lang?" Zheng Xi was stunned for a moment, "Where is this person now?" ā
"Tianjin Wei."
Zheng Xi was about to ask clearly, when firecrackers sounded outside, and then someone shouted happily: "The princess is here, the princess is here!" ā
"King Qi, congratulations!" Zheng Xi was very knowledgeable, and was busy congratulating Zhou Shixiang and inviting him to welcome Her Royal Highness the princess into the palace.
Zhou Shixiang laughed, arched his fist with all the guests, and stepped to pick up Shuyi to enter the door. The blind man Li shouted that he wanted to go together, but was glared back by Zhou Shixiang: Lao Tzu is going to pick up his daughter-in-law, what does it mean that you are carrying a big hammer?
After another process, the hustle and bustle of the Qi Palace's mansion finally calmed down. But no one dared to make trouble in the cave room of Zhou Shixiang and the princess, but the blind man Li pulled the drunk Tie Yi to listen to the corner of the handsome wall, but was kicked into the flowers by Tie Yi.
"You dare to listen to the corner of the handsome wall, you can't be blind if you want to!"
