    The kings seize the legitimate sons¡¿Chapter 19 The eldest uncle of the Marquis of Liao

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Snow and willows, fresh sunshine, Chen Yuanyuan is looking at Beijing, which has just begun to clear up. At this time, the white snow world under the sunshine is very magnificent, and there is no trace of the raging wind and snow last night.  At this point, Chen Yuanyuan remembered some past events in Jiangnan in his early years.  Chen Yuanyuan, who heard the noise, turned around and saw that her husband Wu Sangui was fully dressed, and said with a slight smile: "Master, the snow is still very heavy outside! Are you going out so early?"

    Wu Sangui nodded, "Although we are passing through Beijing, as we are traveling from the north to the south, we must not leave behind anyone we should visit, especially Yan Yingyuan. He is a close ally, unlike me. Besides, King Qin is ill in Beijing.  I should go and see it from all aspects." Wu Sangui returned from the northernmost part of the Ming Dynasty three months ago at the behest of Emperor Hongguang. As a Marquis of Liao, although his status is lofty, he can be regarded as the twenty-sixth Marquis of the Ming Dynasty.  One of them, but his relatives are far and near, and his friends are thick and thin. Wu Sangui knows that he is incomparable with those who have always protected Hongguang Emperor. Otherwise, he would not have been allowed to do the hardest and most tiring work for so many years.  He was stationed in Heilongjiang and had to go to Dabeihai to suffer. This time he was transferred back to Zhejiang. I don¡¯t know whether it was because his family¡¯s ancestral graves were smoking, or because Emperor Hongguang felt uneasy about leaving him in one place for too long. After all, he had "  Criminal record" Ah!

    Regarding the military reform, Wu Sangui admired Emperor Hongguang. Now looking at the vast country of the Ming Dynasty, no general can stay in one place for three years. He is completely a command pawn of Emperor Hongguang. Soldiers only think that  Emperor Hongguang commanded and dispatched alone, and Wu Sangui led so many soldiers.  In the end, except for his three hundred generals, he had no confidants at all. Thinking about the Guan Ning cavalry outside the Weiguan pass, now it has disappeared. It is not that they are all dead, but they have been disrupted and reorganized, disintegrating their own in one fell swoop.  power.

    Chen Yuanyuan nodded.  "This time the emperor has transferred me back to the south. I think even if it is a defensive transfer, he will be transferred to several places in the south. The emperor is also considerate of me. After all, he has been outside for more than ten years!"

    "I hope so! I don't have anything to do. I just suffered for you and me. I heard that Ningxia Hou Li Chengdong was also transferred back this time and might pass by Beijing. If it's a coincidence, I can find time to go see him in person.  , The kindness of that year has not been repaid yet!" Wu Sangui bid farewell to Chen Yuanyuan and left the temporary residence, and first rushed to the Governor's Yamen to meet Yan Yingyuan.

    Yan Yingyuan knew that Wu Sangui had entered the city yesterday and thought that Wu Sangui would definitely come to see him, so he did not go to the Forbidden City to visit Zhu Cixuan in the morning. When he heard that Wu Sangui was visiting, he immediately sent Wu Sangui to the second hall.  The two of them were old acquaintances. Although they had not seen each other a few times over the years, they were familiar with each other and exchanged polite greetings.

    Wu Sangui was polite to Yan Yingyuan, and then asked about the condition of Qin King Zhu Cixuan. As soon as he entered Beijing, he heard that the local lama was praying for Qin King Zhu Cixuan.  He was really ill.

    Yan Yingyuan sighed bitterly, "Master Hou came just in time, I was just about to take a look! King Qin's illness has become more and more serious these days. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive for a few more days. It seems that he will inevitably be scolded by the emperor."  Regardless of the fact that his daughter beat the King of Qin, at least he failed to fulfill his responsibility to take care of the King of Qin.

    Lin Zhouxing and Li Dongsheng saw Yan Yingyuan coming, and he was followed by a very powerful man. Although they didn't recognize him, they saw that this man's aura was not that of an ordinary person. Lin Zhouxing stepped forward to say hello.  "Sir, the prince insisted on going out to enjoy the snow scenery last night, but he fainted when he came back. Moreover, he smelled of alcohol. I don't know who brought the wine to the prince. Several doctors were looking after him inside!" Lin Zhou Xinghe  Li Dongsheng had complained to Zhang Zhong a long time ago. The prince was already weak, but why didn't he take care of it and let the prince drink so much wine? This made Zhang Zhong feel extremely wronged and it was none of his business.

    It was not convenient for Yan Yingyuan and Wu Sangui to go in. They waited outside for nearly twenty minutes before several doctors inside came out.  Yan Yingyuan was the first to ask, "Guys, how is the prince?" Yan Yingyuan was really afraid that some people would shake their heads.

    The leading "attending doctor" breathed a sigh of relief, "Now it seems that it is still the same, neither good nor bad. This is the only way it can be now. We have tried our best and opened the places where we should. We should endure it."  I¡¯ve taken all the medicine, and I can only rely on God¡¯s will next.¡±

    Wu Sangui thought it would be better to meet the King of Qin, "So, when will the prince wake up?" Wu Sangui felt like a stepmother in these years. Not only was he demoted from the king of Liao to the bottom, but he later recovered after accumulating military exploits.  Being a Marquis of Liao, the hardships involved are not enough to be appreciated by outsiders.  Although the King of Qin had never heard of him before, he was the son of Emperor Hongguang after all and a member of the royal family. To have a good relationship, he had to have a good relationship.

    "I just gave the prince a bowl of soothing decoction. He has to wake up the day after tomorrow! I don't know how much wine the prince drank. He almost knocked over our old bones! He had to be drunk all night.  Ah"The attending doctor was very dissatisfied with Zhu Cixuan's drunkenness, but he had no choice but to smile bitterly.

    Li Ningqiu gave Zhu Cixuan a bowl of medicine. She didn't think the prince drank much wine yesterday, but when she came back and entered the house, she smelled the strong smell of alcohol. For this, the two guards Zhang Zhong and Lin Li complained about her. Fortunately, the prince  Before she woke up, she had to explain not to tell what happened last night, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to withstand the questioning from three people.

    Li Ningqiu was lying on the edge of the bed and felt something moving on her head. When she opened her eyes, she saw the prince smiling at her. She got up quickly and said, "Your Majesty, wake up. I'll tell them!"

    After Zhu Cixuan woke up, he felt his head was a little heavy, but the symptoms of confusion and weakness of the previous days were gone. He stopped Li Ningqiu and said, "Ningqiu, give me a glass of water! I'm a little thirsty." Zhu Cixuan felt a bitter taste in his mouth.  , knowing that he had been drugged while sleeping.

    After drinking a cup of warm tea, Zhu Cixuan felt a little stronger than before. It seemed that he was sweating after being drunk. "Ningqiu, what time is it now? Why is it still dark outside?"

    Li Ningqiu brought over another cup of tea, "Your Majesty, it's the morning of the fourth day, and it's not yet dawn! Your Majesty slept for two days and one night. It scared us all."

    Zhu Cixuan didn't expect that he had slept for so long. Li Ningqiu smiled and said, "Ningqiu has been with me? Are there cakes on the table? Bring some." The feeling in his stomach was a bit uncomfortable.

    Li Ningqiu placed the box of soft cakes and other snacks prepared by Yan Yingyuan in front of Zhu Cixuan. Seeing that Zhu Cixuan asked her to sit on the bed, she hesitated and sat down.  Although Li Ningqiu is young, she has experienced the changes in the world and the changes in human relationships far more than many people.  At the moment, Zhu Cixuan is the only one she can rely on in her heart.  She had long classified herself as Zhu Cixuan's woman, at least serving Zhu Cixuan as his slave. As for the future, that was something she could not hope for. After all, the gap between the status and status of the two was too great, and Li Ningqiu had not yet suffered from paranoia.

    Zhu Cixuan ate half of the box of snacks in one go before he remembered Li Ningqiu next to him.  He took a piece and handed it to Li Ningqiu's mouth, forcing her to eat it, "Ningqiu, you have worked hard during this period. I feel like I am not going to die. Sometimes my feelings are quite accurate. If not,  Drinking that wine, not sweating. I really don¡¯t know if I can survive until now." Zhu Cixuan feels that his body is weak now, but his energy is many times better than before, and he can think much more clearly. This is his condition  Signs of development in a good direction.

    "It is Ningqiu's duty to serve the prince. If something happens to the prince, who will I rely on in the future?" Li Ningqiu also saw that Zhu Cixuan was in good spirits.  This made her happy from the bottom of her heart.

    The door creaked open, and Zhang Zhong came in to see Zhu Cixuan, and also to replace Li Ningqiu who had been guarding him all night, but when he came in, Wang Ye and Li Ningqiu were feeding each other!  This makes him neither advance nor retreat. He thinks that this little girl Li Ningqiu has quite a lot of evil intentions.

    Zhu Cixuan heard the door knock and saw it was Zhang Zhong.  "Come in! I've made you worried these days." Zhu Cixuan scratched Li Ningqiu's nose, and Li Ningqiu obediently got off the bed and went out.

    Zhang Zhong found that Zhu Cixuan's expression was much stronger than before.  "My lord, how do you feel? Are you feeling well?" Zhang Zhong has also lost weight due to the worry over the past few days. Now he can see that Zhu Cixuan is showing signs of improvement.  His heart was beating unsatisfactorily.

    "Looking at it now, I can't die. It's so hard to endure this crime!" Zhu Cixuan thought of what his mother said, if you have anything, you have illness, if you don't have anything, you have money. It seems that illness is not a thing, but it can  It's really not a thing, and it's enough to get rid of it. "Nothing happens these days, right? Those lamas and Muslims are all here, right?"

    Zhang Zhong said while tidying up the quilt for Zhu Cixuan, "The great lama is quite good. He has done many rituals and prayed for the prince. People from the three religions in Beijing are also busy. Yan Yingyuan comes to visit every day. By the way, that Liao man  Hou Wu Sangui also came to see me twice."

    Zhu Cixuan said, "As far as he knew, the generals who led the troops were basically guarding the border outside. This Wu Sangui could be regarded as a handsome man who could stand alone in the Ming Dynasty. He was demoted from his official position to the end by his father and then became a marquis for his military merits. It can be seen that his character  There are really capable people, one is Wu Sangui and the other is Li Chengdong. These two people can be said to be typical examples of the submissive ones. "Zhang Zhong! Go and do something for me."

    When Zhang Zhong heard this, his ears were stunned, "Your Majesty, if you have anything to do, just ask me." As soon as Zhang Zhong heard the prince's tone, he knew that it was something very important to the prince.

    "Go and find out why Wu Sangui came back from Beihai. Is it a normal transfer of the imperial court or some other reason? Whether Wu Sangui has another appointment or returns to the Nanjing Ministry of War to report on his duties. Ask smartly and don't make people feel that the question is abrupt." Zhu Cixuan added  After thinking for a while, "I'll sleep for one more day, and you'll tell Ningqiu to say goodbye."Spread the word that I'm awake.  "

    Seeing Zhang Zhong nodded and agreed to go out, Zhu Cixuan's heart started to boil. It was normal for the military to transfer garrison generals, but it was not normal to transfer several important generals back to Nanjing at this time.  Ding Hou Gao Di, Xingping Hou Gao Yuanzhao, then Changning Hou Jin Shenghuan, and now they meet Liao Hou Wu Sangui, and other places may also be transferred back. There are various signs that the father is going to make some important decisions and needs to consult  Based on the opinions of the military, this important decision may be to establish a reserve!

    On this day, Zhu Cixuan was thinking about several possibilities. He didn't stop thinking until Zhang Zhong came back, "Have you found out everything?"

    Zhang Zhong nodded and shook his head, "Your Majesty, this Wu Sangui is ordered to return to Nanjing to report on his duties, and then he may be sent to Zhejiang to guard. It should be regarded as a normal transfer of the imperial court. By the way, Ningxia Hou Li Chengdong also came to Nanjing from outside the customs. It seems that  The Emperor also wants to reassign the two of them to their respective locations."

    When Zhu Cixuan heard this, he felt more and more that his father had transferred back so many senior military generals. Something must have happened. Now that the world is at peace, except for some troubles in overseas colonies, there is almost no need to mobilize so many generals, but things overseas are basically  Everything is under the control of Prince Consort Jinghai Shi Lang. Why did the father do this?

    Zhu Cixuan, who couldn't figure it out, felt very depressed. He shook his head and said, "Zhang Zhong, tell Yan Yingyuan the news of my waking up tomorrow! I want to be quiet now."

    When Yan Yingyuan heard that Zhu Cixuan had woken up and his condition had improved greatly, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had just received a letter from Emperor Hongguang asking about it. Now he could relax the emperor. Yan Yingyuan, who did not dare to reply immediately, thought of  Let¡¯s first see how much better King Qin is.

    When Yan Yingyuan arrived, he happened to see the doctor coming out of Yuqing Palace. He stepped forward to inquire and learned that King Qin's condition had indeed improved greatly. When he came in, Zhu Cixuan's face was no longer so pale and had some color.

    Zhu Cixuan said with a smile, "I have caused trouble to Mr. Yan during this period. I didn't expect that I would fall ill. Really, it seems that I am a little acclimatized!"

    Yan Yingyuanxin said, don't worry about whether you obey or not. As long as you are fine, it is better than anything else. "This is what the subordinate should do. If something happens to the prince, it will be difficult for the subordinate to explain to the emperor. If the prince is fine, it is better than anything else."  ah!"

    Zhu Cixuan smiled and said politely, "Master Yan, I heard from Zhang Zhong that the Marquis of Liao Wu Sangui and General Wu have arrived in Beijing, and the Marquis of Ningxia Li Chengdong and General Li have also arrived. I wonder if the two Marquises are still there?"

    Yan Yingyuan responded casually, "The Marquis of Ningxia arrived yesterday, and both of them are still there. Yesterday, I said I would come to see the prince! The prince's condition has improved, which makes us all relieved! Even the emperor sent an urgent message to inquire about the prince.  Due to his condition, now the official has the excuse to reply to the emperor."

    Hearing Yan Yingyuan mention his father¡¯s letter asking about his condition, Zhu Cixuan felt warm in his heart, but he also had many doubts in his heart. He decided to test his father¡¯s intention of doing this.
