"For Mr. Xia to be the secret envoy, it must be some agreement reached between Qian Gong and Ma Gong." Yu Guozhen said slowly: "I don't know what the intentions of the two of them are."
"The official envoy is Ruan Dacheng, and the lower official is here to find out about Yu Gong." Xia Yunyi raised his head and glanced at Yu Guozhen: "Yu Gong, do you really have to stand on your own behalf for the Ming Dynasty instead of being a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty?"
"My loyalty is not to the country of one family and one surname, but to the four thousand years of inheritance of China. Can Mr. Xia understand this?"
??
"The late Emperoryou mean Chongzhen?"
Yu Guozhen knew in his heart that compared to the official Ruan Dacheng on the surface, the secret former envoy Xia Yunyi was probably more critical.
Furthermore, the rebellious deeds of Xia Yunyi, Xia Wanchun and his son had a profound impact on him. Unlike Huang Zongxi, who was obsessed with the supremacy of Donglin, these two were obsessed with the supremacy of the Ming Dynasty.
Huang Zongxi himself may not be like this, but there is no shortage of such figures in the Donglin Party.
But Xia Yunyi is different. Any leader will appreciate an absolutely loyal figure like Xia Yunyi, even if he is standing on the side of his opponent.
"When the late emperor was in danger, you had the strength to save him. You had already occupied Qingdao Pass. You came to Jinan Prefecture and even sent people to Tianjin Guards. But you just sat back and watched"
"Wait a minute, there is something you probably don't know yet. Chongzhen did not die in the capital. He was rescued by me and is now on Tamluo Island."
Xia Yunyi was minding his own business and was about to accuse Yu Guozhen of being "responsible" for sitting back and watching Chongzhen's death, but what Yu Guozhen said after calling him made him suddenly stunned. After a while, he said in a trembling voice: "Youyou mean"
"Yes, I mean. Emperor Chongzhen is not dead." Yu Guozhen looked at Xia Yunyi's face happily. Whenever he used this news to calm those who were die-hardly loyal to the Ming Dynasty, he would feel particularly happy.
Especially those who think that he was too ambitious and ignored the death of Chongzhen. Every time he said this, I would be speechless.
"Reallyreally?"
"Do you think I need to lie to you?" Yu Guozhen squinted his eyes slightly and looked at him: "It just so happens that I have to discuss with Emperor Chongzhen in person about his future affairs. He has been resting for three years and it is time for him to come out. It has played some role - do you want to go to Tamluo with me to see him?"
"Yes, of course I want it. I have paid a visit to His Majesty's Holy Face. If it is a fake, you will never be able to hide it from me!"
at this time. Xia Yunyi even said what was on his mind without hesitation.
"The news that Chongzhen is still alive may not be good news for the small imperial court of Jinling, and in order to prevent Prince Fu from Jinling from doing something stupid, I have been hiding this matter. I hope you can keep it secret for the time being." Yu Guozhen said Here, he smiled and said: "But I guess I don't have to keep it a secret for too long Oh, will your master also go with you?"
"Of course, I will take my son with me to see the holy face."
"If this is the case, I will invite your son here." Yu Guozhen motioned to the guard.
Among the people sitting in the room looking at each other in disbelief, Wang Fuzhi just started talking. Then there was another sound on the door, and the guard came to Xia Wanchun and said, "Mr. Xiao Xia, my commander-in-chief wants to invite your father."
Xia Wanchun had been uneasy for a long time, so he went over after complaining, but the guard did not leave. After Xia Wanchun left, he said to Gu Yanwu: "Mr. Yanwu, Mr. Xia and his son have invited me to Tamluo as a guest for our commander-in-chief. It will take about ten days to come back, please tell their relatives and friends."
Of course Gu Yanwu knew that there would be no danger if they followed Yu Guozhen, so he agreed immediately. Huang Zongxi said angrily: "Why did you take away the Xia family father and son, but abandon us without asking? Yu Jimin has indeed become an independent man, and looks down upon the scholar-bureaucrats. He is not the master of a human being!"
"It's not up to you whether you are the master or not." Gu Yanwu laughed. He and Huang Zongxi originally had a very good relationship, but after hearing him attack Yu Guozhen repeatedly, even his good temper would break out, let alone Guiqi. Gu Guai, Gu Yanwu was originally a person with character: "Didn't the commander-in-chief just say that before he should be an emperor, see if he has contributed to the living people, and see if this contribution is recognized by the living people. As for you, there are two people in China now. Out of millions of people, your opinion is only one in 20,000,000!"
"How can there beIt makes no sense! The country should be governed by gentlemen, how can we leave it to villains? "
"The gentlemen you are talking about, I have heard some people say that they are the hemorrhoids of the great concubine's father-in-law, they are all smelly things who can't poop out of the latrine."
"Gu Yanwu, if you say so, Huang will break up with Juegexi!"
"You can't listen to any criticism. You are Cai Huangong who hides his illness and avoids medical treatment. It doesn't matter if you don't want a friend like you. If we end our friendship, we will end our friendship!"
"How can Mr. Huang not listen to any criticism?"
"you¡¡"
"Okay, okay, stop arguingcough, cough, cough, I've been arguing so much that I've lost my head because of you two!" In the end, Wang Fuzhi intervened: "Let's do this, Taichong, we won't see each other in a short time. Yu Guozhen has risen. In this case, it is better to look around under his rule. If he can manage the world well without using Dong Lin, it means that he is right. If his rule is a mess, you can use this next time. For example, let¡¯s criticize him!¡±
"This is the right thing to say, so Huang Zongxi stopped arguing. He just looked at Gu Yanwu and snorted. Gu Yanwu also snorted, and then sneered: "I'm afraid that Huang Taichong will hide his illness and avoid medical treatment, and he will not admit his mistake even though he knows it is wrong."
"How can Huang be such a person? Huang is not your Gu Yanwu!"
The two started arguing again while they were talking.
Not to mention the dispute between Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu, after Yu Guozhen handed over the propaganda matter to Gu Yanwu, he led Xia Yunyi, Xia Wanchun and his son to leave Qingdao Port and rush to Tamluo Island the next day.
It is already the end of the year. The north wind was very strong over the East China Sea, so the ship was far more bumpy than usual. When they arrived at the port of Tanluoyi City, Xia Yunyi was still fine, but Xia Wanchun had already vomited and couldn't bear it. Seeing Yu Guozhen's expression as usual, Xia Wanchun couldn't help but admire him and said: "Brother Yu is really awesome, the sea is bumpy like this. How many times do you have to go through it every year?"
"This is nothing. Nowadays, steamships are very fast. It only takes a day and a half from Qingdao Port to Tamluo. It was really troublesome at the beginning. I went to Xinxiang for the first time and spent three months on the sea. And the first time I came from Nanzhi It took nearly four months to transport the people to Xinxiang!"
Although Xia Wanchun is young, he has a lot of experience, and his thinking is very quick and has a certain depth. Therefore, Yu Guozhen admires him very much. The two of them have become familiar with each other in more than a day, and they call each other brothers. It's just that Yu Guozhen and Xia Yunyi are also friends of the same generation, so the generational relationship is a bit confusing.
"This Tamluo Island is also the homeland of China. Brother Yu, did you recover it?"
"Haha. That's right. That's what a man should do. How can we let those small countries bully us and plunder my fishermen today and occupy my offshore islands tomorrow? The clowns will kill when they are supposed to, but even if they don't kill, they should be given a beating!"
"UmMr. Jimin, I wonder when I will see your Majesty!" Xia Yunyi felt a little embarrassed when he heard that his son was pulled over by Yu Guozhen after they had only been on the same boat once. Can't even bear it. What's more, a young man like Xia Wanchun.
"A carriage will be coming soon to take you two off. I have something to do, so I won't go yet." Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "Don't worry, Chongzhen is very free here. I don't want to leak his information, that is, Afraid that someone would disturb his freedom."
As Yu Guozhen said, after a while, a carriage took them to the outskirts of Yi City. In the past three years, many new buildings have been built in Yi City, but under Jiang An's intentional control, they have basically not developed towards the villa where Chongzhen lived. Therefore, they left the city and traveled nearly a mile before arriving at Chongzhen. Living villa area.
Although Yu Guozhen said that he did not embarrass Chongzhen, Xia Yunyi did not believe it in his heart. But when he saw this group of villas from a distance, Xia Yunyi couldn't help but feel a little surprised: If these villas were really for Chongzhen to live in, then that wouldn't be bad.
This villa complex originally had only six buildings, but now it has increased to seventeen. In the past few years, there has been life and death. Generally speaking, there are more lives than deaths. Concubines like Chongzhen have added more to him. Five princes and princesses.
When Xia Yunyi walked into the courtyard surrounded by a low wall, he saw a man squatting by the wall, digging the soil with a shovel in his hand. Behind him, several children were following, and there was a graceful girl holding a Standing with a towel on. At a glance, Xia Yunyi felt that the squatting man looked familiar. He watched the man skillfully shovel away the dead grass on the ground and then bury it in the mud. He couldn't help but call out: "Excuse me, please"
He originally just thought that the other person looked familiar, but when he said "please", the other person raised his head in surprise, and then he only said the word "Excuse me", and he could no longer say anything else.
Squatting on the ground like a gardener is actually His Majesty Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty!
"Your Majesty Your Majesty!"
"You areI remember you, the magistrate of Changle County, Fujian Province, who once served inRanked among the top seven in the national examination, so I saw you in the palace. XiaXia Yunyi, whose courtesy name is Yizhong, right? "
When Chongzhen saw Xia Yunyi, he thought about it and remembered his identity. He smiled and waved to Kun Xing who was standing beside him. Kun Xing held up a towel and Chongzhen wiped the mud off his hands.
By this time, Xia Yunyi had knelt down at his feet, almost sobbing.
Although Yu Guozhen had already told him, he still couldn't help it and felt a mixture of surprises. When he was received by Chongzhen as a county magistrate, he was really moved by the grace and honor he received. The reason why he was so loyal to Chongzhen and the Ming Dynasty was because he felt that he had received a favor from Zhiyu and could not repay it without death.
"How did you get here Is Yu Jimin back again? That guy loves to play tricks on you and scare you!" Chongzhen stretched out his hand to help Xia Yunyi up: "Don't kneel down, don't kneel down, it's a happy event to see me. , why are you crying!"
"Yes, yes!" Xia Yunyi wiped his tears and felt that the Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be more energetic than when he first met him. When he saw his son in a daze, he quickly pulled him over: "This is your son, a beast. , and you haven¡¯t even kowtowed to His Majesty!¡±
Xia Wanchun immediately bowed down.
He was still a little confused in his mind: If this is the emperor, why does he move freely and seems to be quite pampered?
