Qin Mufeng smiled and took out Empress Yi'an's edict and said, "Lord Huang, who said that Zhenguo Gong is not the heir of Emperor Taizu?" Do you take a look at this? ”

Huang Degong was stunned and took over the decree, it is the decree of Empress Yi'an, it is clearly written, Zhu Jie is the prince Zhu Ciran born to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Empress Yi'an, because of the poison of the eunuch party, he was born and faced untimely death, was rescued by a stranger, and was taken out of the palace, and returned to be a good general of the country, but Emperor Chongzhen was on the throne, if he recognized the former prince, he would inevitably face the battle for the throne.

Think about it, after Emperor Taizu, it was not so easy for courtiers with foreign surnames to be knighted, when Lu Xiangsheng fought in the south and the north, he had countless achievements, and he did not get the title, and Hong Chengchou also did not have a title; As for the military generals, although it is easier to get the knighthood, but most of them are earls, except for the beginning of the founding of the country, the great heroes, the later generations to get the title, not to mention the prince, even the marquis is rare! Although Zhu Jie has made immortal achievements, he was suddenly named a duke in his twenties, and he is the Duke of Zhenguo, which is too rare, which is too rare, I can't say it, there is this meaning, the emperor wants to appease Queen Yi'an and Zhu Jie!

Could it be that Zhu Jie is really the sister-in-law of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the former crown prince Zhu Ciran?

Huang Degong's heart trembled, of course he thought that this matter was true, a court can get a Ming monarch, that is a good thing to be a courtier, Zhenguo Gong is majestic and strategic, there is no doubt that in the entire Ming Dynasty, it is not as rare as he can be compared! Even if Huang Degong is arrogant, he has to admit that Zhu Jie is far stronger than him, not a little bit, but a world of difference!

"Lord Qin, is this true? You must know that this is not a trivial matter, and if you fake an edict, it will destroy the clan! ”

Huang Degong said in a deep voice.

Qin Mufeng smiled and said, "Lord Huang, don't say anything else, this queen's seal won't be fake, right?" This is the day of the city's breakdown, flowing out of the palace, if it weren't for the emperor's insistence on martyrdom, the prince fell into the hands of the traitor Chen Yan, Empress Yi'an would not have written this edict, you should know that if the emperor is alive and makes the life history of the Duke of Zhenguo public, what kind of shock will it cause......"

Huang Degong's expression was stunned, this is the truth, the identity of the former prince is too sensitive, this is not an ordinary prince, but the crown prince of the first emperor, and he has not been deposed, if he does not leave the palace, then there is no dispute, Chongzhen's throne should be his, Chongzhen can only be the prince of peace, at this time, once the identity of the former prince is announced, it is difficult to ensure that there is no one among the courtiers below.

"So, is the Duke of Zhenguo interested in this throne?"

Zhu Jie said angrily: "Lord Huang, at the moment of national crisis, the survival of Guozuo is in an instant, I can't allow Zhu Jie to retreat, and I have no way back, either I ascend to the throne of God, lead the army to the north to build slaves, and expel the Tartars, or, choose someone else, I have made too many enemies in the court, you also know, whether it is the capital, or Nanjing, there are political enemies everywhere, and the entire court will definitely not tolerate me, and I don't believe that without me Zhu Jie and the Tianwei army, the new emperor can fight against the eloquent Dolgon!" In today's world, rule the world peacefully, expel the Tartars, who else will I be? ”

Huang Degong looked at Zhu Jie with a proud face in a daze, who has this momentum of contempt for heaven and earth? Dolgon is a generation of heroes, and Manchuria is a famous general, except for Zhu Jie, I really don't know who has such the ability to turn the tide! In front of Zhu Jie, there are only these two roads, either to ascend to the great treasure, dominate the world, and become the Ming Jun of the Kuang Dynasty who carries forward the past and forges ahead into the future, and the Ming Dynasty of Zhongxing; Either they will become cannon fodder for the court party struggle and end up depressed, but the difference is that the life and death of tens of thousands of Li people in the Ming Dynasty are over.

Zhu Jie continued: "Lord Huang, I am a descendant of Taizu and Miao, so naturally it is my responsibility to recover the mountains and rivers and support the society, and I cannot be allowed to retreat; Similarly, as a human minister, you are deeply grateful to the royal family, and you can't retreat, the Northern War Jiannu, I can't do without a fierce general like you, how can you help me? ”

Huang Degong naturally understands in his heart, does Zhu Jie lack a fierce general? Whether it is Qin Mufeng in front of him, or Xu Yifan and Cha Zhu who are far away in the Central Plains; Even Li Dingguo of Huguang, no matter which one of them is a peerless warrior in the world, he is afraid that he will not be able to rank in the top five; But is it a crack soldier? Not to mention the Tianwei Army, which is famous in China, even the current combat power of the three towns of Nanjing is not inferior to the soldiers of Luzhou Town, and even Zhu Jie has to form a naval division of the Ming Empire! At this time, he stretched out an olive branch to himself, and there was only one willingness, Zhu Jie moved his heart to love talents, that is, to include himself under his command!

Is there a more reliable backer than Zhu Jie? Ma Shiying? That's a joke, don't say a Ma Shiying, even if it's a hundred Ma Shiying, there is no way to compare with Zhu Jie, in terms of force, strategy, the ability to govern the country, and the ambition, Zhu Jie is far beyond Ma Shiying, just look at the soldiers under Zhu Jie's command, which one is not dead-hearted? No matter whether Zhu Jie is up or down, he will never give up, who can compare with this charm?

What's more, taking a step back, even if he assists Ma Shiying in setting up a new monarch, Ma Shiying can't be the emperor, and he is still a pawn under Ma Shiying; But if he supports Zhu Jie, once Zhu Jie ascends the throne, he will be a hero from the dragon, and from the dragon's merit, is there a greater merit than this?

Huang Degong smiled bitterly: "Zhenguo Gong, I understand what you mean, a prodigy in the emperor's throne, is better than a waste wood on the emperor's throne, I don't understand the truth, forgive the sin, the Ming Dynasty has declined to this point, and has been repeatedly bullied by Jiannu, I have to say that it has something to do with the apocalypse and the abolition of the government and the eunuch party's power, I don't want another waste wood to ascend to the emperor's throne, for the sake of the people of Li, I only have one way to support you!" ”

Zhu Jie also smiled bitterly, now the Emperor of the Apocalypse is his cheap father, this hat has been firmly buttoned, and all the sins he has done have to fall on him, what can he do?

"Okay, Lord Huang, in that case, I, Zhu Jie, assure you that once I ascend to the Great Treasure, I will definitely raise an army to the Northern Expedition, just like Taizu Chengzu expelled Meng Yuan, drive Jiannu to the extremely cold land of Beihai, and return the people of the world to peace! As for you, the male monkey is naturally no longer in trouble, and of course, there is one thing I must state first......"

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Jie said: "But all the soldiers under my command, the military discipline is strict, the first is not to disturb the people, not to loot, you need to strictly restrain Luzhou Town, if I know that there is someone who is corrupt and perverts the law, and the people are prey, then they will become my mortal enemy, and they will never die!" ”
