Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 783 Ice and Snow Melting
Wang Yan pulled one with each hand, but the faces of the two kings changed greatly after hearing his words.

No wonder, Master Shaoguo doubted that at this time, if he was a child, anyone would feel that Wang Yan had mischievous intentions and wanted to monopolize the power.

Tang Wang reacted the most violently and wanted to break free, but Wang Yan grabbed him firmly, and then said loudly: "Your Highness, if this vassal wants to monopolize the court, it is time to establish King Gui, but to establish Gui as two Your Highness will definitely not agree, so this clan compromised and never mentioned the matter of establishing Gui. Today, the two His Royal Highnesses are arguing endlessly and will not give in to each other. This clan proposes this plan for the sake of the country. Compromise, do we have to wait for China to fight to the death, is it out of control?"

The card of King Gui was used by Wang Yan to play against Longwu. Now that Longwu has collapsed, he can still use it to warn the two feudal lords.

Wang Yan's words calmed the two of them down a bit. Wang Yan could indeed establish Gui, but the result of Li Gui was that Tang and Lu would jointly anger him as Cao Cao, but Wang Yan expected this situation, and Daming could not do it first One battle, at least not now, so he compromised first, but Tang Lu fought, and didn't pay attention to this.

But having said that, Wang Yan’s reminder to the two kings is also a warning. The vassal has already compromised. Should the two have to give in? Gui's.

In this way, the Ming Dynasty will be broken if everyone lives in his own family.

After Tang Wang heard it, he was hit the hardest. He thought he was invincible, but now he was pulled from the bottom by Wang Yan, and fell from the sky to the ground in one fell swoop. His whole mind went blank for an instant.

He was unwilling to accept it for a while, and struggled to earn it again.

This time Wang Yan didn't pull him again, and Tang Wang staggered, but fortunately Zheng Chenggong helped him up.

Seeing this, Wang Yan went on to say: "This vassal has received many favors from the Emperor Daxing, and the Emperor Daxing has made great contributions to the country. The throne can only be inherited by the lineage of the Emperor Daxing. Under the current situation, it is impossible for His Royal Highness the Tang Dynasty to ascend the throne. Younger, His Royal Highness Tang Wang must be the assistant prince."

This sentence was spoken to the king of Tang, but also to the king of Lu, and even more to the ministers who supported the Tang Dynasty.

For the supporters of the Tang Dynasty, the purpose of supporting the Tang King is to ensure their own interests, to ensure that the Longwu court is still the central court, and that they will not be marginalized.

If Wang Yan only established the eldest son of the emperor as the emperor, then they are still a little worried, but if the Tang king can be the prince of governance, then at least the current situation of the Tang support faction will be preserved. It can be said that it is a situation of neither losing nor winning. .

Seeing that Zheng Chenggong was supporting the pale-faced King Tang, Wang Yan didn't just let it go. Instead, he took advantage of the heat to let go of Queen Lu, and forced him forward step by step, "For the sake of the country, Your Highness, please make a statement!"

Wang Yan pressed forward step by step. In the main hall, Tang Wang's side instantly became quiet. Tang Wang knew that he was out of action, and the thoughts of many ministers became confused because of Wang Yan's words. They didn't know whether to argue or not.

Jin Shenghuandao on the side seemed unwilling to let Tang Wang give up, his face was full of anxiety, but facing the powerful Hengyang Fan, he did not dare to disturb the situation.

"According to King Hengyang's words, the emperor's nephew will succeed him!" King Tang tremblingly said, feeling depressed for a while, then pushed Zheng Chenggong away, and left the hall directly to the mourning hall of Emperor Daxing.

Seeing this, Jin Shenghuan was full of remorse and unwillingness, and the other pro-Tang sects also sighed more or less.

King Lu did not expect that the situation would develop like this, everyone had no expression on their faces, and Hengyang Fan wanted to establish the eldest son of the emperor, which would be a failure for the Lu Fan family.

Seeing that King Tang surrendered, Wang Yan nodded, looked at King Lu, and said directly: "This fan will also order Fang Fengnian to join Dai Zhifan, lead 3 troops to the south at high speed, and force Zhang Cunren to surrender. Regarding the surrender of Zhejiang, we must also invite Lu to surrender." Your Highness, cooperate more!"

King Lu wanted to fight at first, but after hearing what Wang Yan said, he swallowed it back abruptly.

Without Zhejiang, without [-] to [-] Qing soldiers joining his side, how could he have the courage to challenge Wang Yan.

For a while, Lu Fan's faction was discouraged.

Seeing this, Wang Yan immediately said: "His Royal Highness King Lu has resisted the Qing Dynasty for four years, and his prestige spreads in the southeast. After the eldest son of the emperor ascends the throne, he also needs His Highness to consult the national policy and handle the government affairs."

Seeing this, King Lu could only be dumbfounded. Without saying a word, he acquiesced to the fact that the battle for the position had failed, and left the hall with his troops.

The next day, after discussing with his subordinates, King Lu returned to Jiangbei himself, leaving Zhang Kentang to continue the negotiation.

The two kings compromised one after another, and the rest was the distribution of interests and the reorganization of the cabinet.

The King of Lu left Zhang Kentang on his side, Wanji and Gu Yuanjing were sent by the Tang Supporting faction, and Chen Bangyan and Gu Yanwu were on the side of the Chu Party.

After three days of fighting, they finally decided that the two-year-old eldest son Zhu Linyuan succeeded to the throne.

The ninth king of Chu in the Ming Dynasty was killed after Zhang Xianzhong broke through Wuchang, and the Chu clan came to an end.After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the King of Hengyang became the Prince of Chu with the help of recovering the southern capital, and then governed together with the Kings of Tang and King Lu.

Snakes can't do without a head, birds can't fly without a head, and the three kings should be divided into high and low. A central government in a tripartite alliance was established.

There are three parties in the court, and although Wang Yan cannot monopolize the government, it is very inconvenient to do things, but if one family really dominates, in the long run, it will inevitably be a big hidden danger in the future.

In fact, no matter whether it is the ministers of the court, or the kings of Tang and Lu, they all know in their hearts that just after Nanjing came down, this is definitely not the time for fighting each other and fighting for power. Neither of the two feudal states can afford it big picture.

Wang Yan's five loyal troops were 16. This time Li Guo's troops were basically disabled, and each department lost at least 2 people. With his current strength, plus [-] local town troops, it is not enough to cover the entire Sichuan, Hubei, There are three major battlefields in Jiangbei.

Although the Qing army lost Jiangnan, there are still 10 men and horses in Henan who have not moved, threatening Xiangyang, Jiangbei Duoduo also has 10 people, and Beijing has Manchurian elite soldiers. With Sun Kewang's separatist regime in Yunnan, Wang Yan alone cannot face such a chaotic situation. Therefore, he must tie the Tang and Lu feudal clans together in order to make progress and preserve the achievements of recovering Nanjing.

A political crisis within the Ming Dynasty finally melted away. Wanji rushed to Jiangxi to welcome the new emperor, and Wang Yan also began to dispatch officials from Wuchang.

At the end of August, Nanjing, Hong Chengchou was escorted to Xiaoling Mausoleum. It was made of an iron mold that craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry rushed to work overnight. Jin Yiwei locked it into the mold, then poured hot molten iron, cast it into a kneeling statue, and placed it outside Xiaoling Mausoleum. .

At the time of the execution, as many as [-] soldiers and civilians watched, all clapping their hands and applauding.

At the time of execution, outside the city of Huai'an in Jiangbei, a beggar who was in disarray and emaciated fell outside the city gate.
