Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Xu Yingyuan was embarrassed, but Chen Jian didn't look down on the people from Guangdong like Mu Tianbo, Fu Gang and the others did, but nodded in agreement: "The situation is critical now, since the saint has promised to marry, you go and pick up Her Royal Highness Princess back to Guangdong. It doesn't matter, otherwise, if there is any accident with His Highness, the Duke of Yue's face will not be good. Well, it is the home of ordinary people, and the daughter-in-law who has never been through the door will also have to be rescued, and the dignified Duke."

"That's what I'm waiting for!"

Xu Yingyuan wanted Chen Jian to be a confidant, but he didn't know that although Chen Jian was an uncle, he actually didn't know one big character. He followed the King of the West to fight for a living when he was a child. Naturally, he was not like Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qian, Fugang, a great scholar, and the others. So pedantic, what are the rules of etiquette and morality. From Chen Jian's point of view, since this princess was the emperor's decree for Zhou Shixiang, the Duke of Yue, it was normal for his servants to pick up the lady of the country who had never been there. The others didn't think much about it, so he said bluntly: "The holy car is in Anning City, you can pick up people in the past."

Xu Yingyuan didn't want to, but he coughed dryly, with a confused look on his face: "Uncle doesn't know something, the sage doesn't agree with me waiting for someone to pick him up."

"Disagree?" Chen Jian was stunned there, and felt strange, "Since the sage doesn't agree with you to pick up people, why do you still want to pick up people?"

Xu Yingyuan looked at him and said solemnly, "It's because the sage doesn't agree to let him go, so I decided to pick him up after waiting." There was something to be said for this.

"you?..."

Xu Yingyuan understood, he glanced at the men of the Taiping army behind Xu Yingyuan who were holding knives and guns, suddenly laughed, and said with admiration: "I dare to think and do it, as expected of the Duke of Yue, there is something!" .. But there is Jin Tongwu on the holy drive, and his thousands of soldiers are old soldiers of the King of Jin.

"It's hard to do, so I decided to do it after waiting." Xu Yingyuan smiled, and sincerely asked Chen Jian for advice: "I wonder if Uncle has any good way to help me wait?"

Chen Jian laughed and said: "I'm having a headache, so I'm afraid that I'm going to vote for Yue Guogong so empty-handed. If I don't get it right, I'll be left out and sit on the bench. Now I don't have a headache... To be honest, Yunnan can't keep it. The holy car is also dangerous, and it is useless to go to Sichuan. It is better to go to Guangdong to do business with your home country... I will help you in this matter. You have to submit a certificate to be a bandit. My name is for your home country. Sending a kiss for thousands of miles."

Hearing that Chen Jian was willing to help, and that he was willing to go to Guangdong, Xu Yingyuan was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly handed over his hands to write a series of thanks. Guo Shao was a little unbelievable, secretly thinking that Chen Jian had five or six people, and he couldn't protect himself, how could he help them to rob the princess. Seeing his doubts, Chen Jian chuckled and said, "The King of Jin ordered to take me and also seize my military power, but if I go back, my soldiers will still listen to me."

Ding Yong also nodded and said: "How can our soldiers in the Prince of Shu are really willing to listen to that Jin Tongwu, Jin Tongwu's **** deceived us before, and suddenly attacked us and took us down, and the people below are still in the dark. Let's really go back , our soldiers can still help him Jin Tongwu to deal with us! It's okay, brothers do it!"

The other generals of the Shu Palace had nothing to say. If it wasn't for the help of the Taiping Army, would they still be alive? Now that Chen Jian decided to take them to join the Taiping Army, they would naturally do their part to rob the princess.

"It's not too late, you can go to peace with me quickly."

Chen Jian did what he said, and immediately asked Xu Yingyuan and the others to divide up a few horses, and the group hurried to Anning City. On the way, they bumped into a large group of officials who ran out of Anning. Several of them, Chen Jian knew, were Wanniance, the minister of household affairs, Liu Mi, the young minister of Dali Temple, Qian Bangqi, the censor of Zuoqidu, and others.

The Minister of Hubu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the Censor of Zuo Yudu are one of the six nine ministers, and they are the real important officials of the imperial court. And these officials not only ran out by themselves, but also ran with their relatives, and some even took off their official robes and changed into the clothes of the common people.

Wan Niance, the minister of households, was also shocked to see Chen Jian, the uncle of Guangping, thinking that this person was not the one called the King of Jin who had just been escorted out of the city, why did he come back in a blink of an eye.

"Master Wan, what happened, why did you all run out?" Chen Jianyu immediately asked.

"Uncle, don't call me an adult again, I won't do this official."

Wan Niance felt bitter in his heart, sighed and stepped forward to tell the truth: "At first we thought that the holy car was going to the middle of Sichuan, but half an hour ago, the holy priest suddenly told everyone to retreat to the west of Yunnan, and everyone felt that they would retreat to the west of Yunnan. It's a dead end, and I'm disappointed with the court, so I don't want to be this official anymore. I'm thinking about finding a place to hide before the Qing army arrives."

Liu Qin and other officials also came forward to express their dissatisfaction and despair about the imperial court going to western Yunnan. Some scolded Ma Jixiang's generation for bewitching the holy chariots, while others scolded the king of Jin for why he was so confused and agreed to the holy chariots to go to western Yunnan. .

In the noise, Xu Yingyuan suddenly said loudly to the officials: "My lords, the soldiers are in chaos. It's not a problem for you to run like this. Not to mention the clear soldiers, even some bandits and strongmen can kill you."

What Xu Yingyuan said is true. Don't think that the officials in front of them are all important officials of the court, but all of them are weak scholars, let alone strong men. Even an old farmer with a **** can kill them with a hoe, so they run like this. Certainly not the law.

Wanniance didn't know Xu Yingyuan, looked at Chen Jian with inquiring eyes, and asked, "Uncle Guangping, who is this?"

Chen Jian was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he didn't know the names of these Duke Yue's men, so he asked in a low voice, and then said to Wan Niance and the others, "This is the envoy of the Guangdong News, Mr. Xu Yingyuan under the Duke of Yue."

"People from Duke of Guangdong?"

Only then did the officials remembered that Guangdong had sent two envoys to Kunming before, and there were also officials who had seen Guangdong envoys from afar, secretly thinking that it was no wonder they looked so familiar.

"Master Xu is telling the truth, but since I have decided not to be an official, I can no longer go to western Yunnan with the holy car. I have to find a hiding place, otherwise I can't stay in An Ning and wait for the Qing soldiers to come. ” said Qian Bangxian, the censor of Zuoyadu.

The other officials also talked a lot, saying that there was really no way, otherwise who would want to go out of the city and escape like this. Up to now, it is a step by step, and if you really encounter a bandit strongman, you can only admit that you are unlucky.

Chen Jian frowned, and he didn't know how to persuade these officials to let them go back. Everyone decided not to be an official and what to do when they went back. I watched helplessly as they fled like the common people, but I didn't know how many of them would survive.

But Xu Yingyuan said, "You are all learned men and pillars of the imperial court. It is my great loss to abandon official positions like this."

"What does Master Xu mean?"

"I mean, you may wish to go to Guangdong. My commander has more than 100,000 elite troops, and recently defeated the army led by Prince Jian of the Qing Dynasty. There is nothing to do in Guangdong. When you get what you adults can do."

"This..."

Wan Niance, the servant of the household department, was very excited, but he was a little confused: "Guangdong is thousands of miles away from Yunnan, and I can't go even if I want to."

Xu Yingyuan said: "If you can trust me, you can return to Guangdong with me."

Wan Nian Ce nodded and said, "Master Xu, wait a moment, I will discuss with your colleagues."

Xu Yingyuan smiled and said, "Master Wan, please do it."

After Wanniance told a group of officials what Xu Yingyuan meant, many officials immediately agreed, and some refused to go. In the end, more than 40 officials were willing to go to Guangdong. Xu Yingyuan asked Guo Shao to lead a group of people to temporarily settle them in a village a few miles away from the road. After they grabbed the princess, they would come to meet.

Guo Shao was very puzzled about Xu Yingyuan taking in these officials, and asked him, "Brother Xu, what are you taking them for?"

"If the commander wants to establish a new monarch, he always has to talk about orthodoxy and a name, and the court's shelf must be built. If these important ministers of the Yongli court all go to Guangdong, do you think this new monarch is orthodox and unorthodox?"

"Orthodoxy is orthodox, but these people are too cumbersome. How can we bring them back to Guangdong? There are Qing troops in Guangxi, so we can't take these people over there."

"Who said we were going to Guangxi?" Xu Yingyuan shook his head and said, "The commander before I came here told us to go to Annan on the way back, and then take a sea boat back to Guangdong."

"Go Annan?"

After thinking about it, Guo Shao did not object anymore. Annan was a vassal of Daming. From Annan to Guangdong, there was no need to pass through Guangxi, where there were Qing troops, so there was no need to worry about security issues.

After leaving Guo Shao to settle the group of officials who had abandoned their positions from Anning, Xu Yingyuan, Chen Jian, Liang Shuanghu and the others continued to drive towards Anning. On the way, they met Zhang Zuochen, Minister of Officials, Wang Jiao, a minister of Shaozhan, and others. Zhang Zuochen was originally from Cantonese, and he naturally had no opinion after hearing Xu Yingyuan's persuasion. Wang Jiao and other officials were also desperate. Seeing that the Minister of Officials agreed to go to Guangdong, and there were people from the Taiping Army to take care of him, he naturally had no opinion.

The closer they were to Anning, the more officials Xu Yingyuan and the others took in~www.NovelMTL.com~ In addition to the Minister of Personnel, there were also two important ministers, Sun Shun, Minister of War, and Cheng Yuan, Minister of Rites. Like the previous batch of officials, these two Wei Shangshu was also disappointed with the imperial court and gave up his post. After some persuasion, coaxing, deception and vague threats, Guo Shao actually took in nearly 1,000 Yongli court officials and their families, and became a living Yongli court official reception team.

The number of officials who abandoned their officials and fled to the city is extremely frightening, and the number of important officials is even more shocking, but what is even more shocking is that at this moment, the city of Anning has become a mess - the emperor was killed. robbed.

......

There is another section to end the Yunnan plot, and the line of sight turns back to Guangxi. Some book friends said that the bones' depiction of Yongli and King Jin is too dark. What I want to say here is that although Emperor Yongli died, his performance in the ten years before his death was a mess, and it was definitely not the work of a human king. . If history chooses another emperor to replace Yongli's performance in those ten years, I believe it will definitely be several times better than Yongli.

As for King Jin, the bones respect him and always think that King Jin is a national hero of the Han people. However, some of the weaknesses of King Jin and some of the things he did in the last two years are not very good, so there is no need to hide them. They are all based on history. , there is no artistic processing component.
