Zheng Chenggong's words really surprised his subordinates. He didn't know why the vassal lord looked down on the King of Tang so much. You should know that the King of Tang Zhu Yue was the legitimate brother of Emperor Longwu, and the friendship between Emperor Longwu and Zheng Chenggong is well known to everyone in the world. Emperor Longwu admired Zheng Chenggong's talent very much back then. He sighed and said, "I am sorry that there is no woman in my favor. You should be loyal to my family, so don't forget each other!" In order to show his favor for Zheng Chenggong, Emperor Longwu even gave Zheng Chenggong the most respected surname Zhu to Zheng Chenggong, and changed Zheng Chenggong's original name to Chenggong. Since then, Zheng Sen's name has become Zhugong, and people in the world have called Zheng Chenggong the "national surname".

The King of Tang was the legitimate brother of Emperor Longwu. The vassal lord had a very deep friendship with Emperor Longwu back then. Chen Yonghua, Liu Guoxuan, Huang Ting, and Feng Chengshi broke his head and didn't understand why the vassal lord suddenly looked down on the King of Tang. But they remember that when Yongli was appointed as the emperor in Zhaoqing, the vassal lord was unwilling to be the main person, but wanted to establish the King of Huai Zhu Changqing. As a result, the King of Tang sent letters to persuade him, and the vassal lord changed his mind and supported Yongli. From this, it can be seen that in the mind of the vassal lord, the King of Tang, the legitimate brother of Emperor Longwu, was very important.

Yongli abandoned the country and fled, and the Taiping Army supported the Tang King's Responsible Kingdom in Guangdong. If things were done, it would represent that the Ming Emperor's Responsible Kingdom. Although the Tang King Zhu Yue was just a brother of Longwu and was not a nephew, no matter what, the imperial imperial army finally returned to the Tang King's Responsible Kingdom. Therefore, with the old love between Emperor Longwu and the actual interests of Emperor Longwu back then, Zheng Chenggong was reasonable and both public and private, and he now regarded the Tang King so lightly and believed that he was not qualified to responsible Kingdom. This really confused Chen Yonghua and others, and did not know what the vassal lords sold in the gourd.

The former army governor Huang Ting couldn't figure it out, but he also knew the relationship between his vassal lord and Emperor Longwu, so he had to remind Zheng Chenggong tactfully, saying: "The world cannot be without a master for a day. The King of Tang is the legitimate brother of Shaozong. The brothers will eventually become brothers. Since Yongli abandoned the country, the King of Tang is nothing wrong with the king of Tang."

"From Emperor Shaowu, the Tang Dynasty's reign is reasonable," Feng Chengshi also said.

When officials and generals under the vassal were still quarreling in the afternoon, Feng Chengshi asked his son Feng Xifan's opinion. Feng Xifan's opinion was that he must support the Tang Dynasty, and that he must be fast and not delayed. Otherwise, the Qing court would use Yongli to abandon the country to create public opinion, which would make the world support the Ming Dynasty, and restore the Ming army, civilians and gentlemen to the Ming Dynasty, and completely despaired. Secondly, the old events would repeat in the early Yongli period. The old events in the early Yongli period said that at that time, there were Ming royal families in various places claiming to be the governor of the country and were not convinced by Yongli. They each had their own support, which led to the continuous consumption of the anti-Qing forces due to internal struggles.

Feng Chengshi valued his son very much and often told people that his son would not be inferior to his future achievements, so he turned to Gan Hui and his friends to support Tang. Therefore, he suddenly heard that the vassal lord seemed to be unwilling to be the king of Tang to supervise the country, so he was naturally surprised and subconsciously tried to persuade him.

Liu Guoxuan didn't say anything, just wondering why the vassal lord opposed the Tang king's supervision. The meaning of the vassal lord just now seemed to have other meanings. Could it be that the vassal lord wanted to establish another royal family supervision, such as the example of Zhu Changqing, the King of Huai, back then?

Chen Yonghua and Liu Guoxuan thought of going together, but he thought to Zhu Yihai, the King of Lu, that he thought that the vassal lord wanted to support the king of Lu. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not like that. If the vassal lord really wanted to support the king of Lu, he would not be indifferent to the King of Lu for so many years. When Zhang Mingzhen was there, he should have joined forces with two Zhangs to support the king of Lu. Why did he wait until today?

He really couldn't think of why the vassal lord changed his attitude towards the Tang King, so Chen Yonghua asked directly: "The vassal lord is of great importance to support the ruling state. If the vassal lord has other thoughts in his heart, please inform his subordinates!"

Feng Chengshi, Huang Ting and others looked at Zheng Chenggong nervously. Zheng Chenggong nodded slightly and said to them: "Yongli abandoned the country, and my vassal will no longer regard him as the master. It's better not to have such an emperor."

Chen Yonghua and others knew that the vassal lord had some other words, so they all listened. As for the vassal lord, it was fine if the vassal lord said that Yongli was not allowed, he was still unremarkable. If anyone in the world ignored the emperor Yongli the most, except the Qing army and the Ming Dynasty, there would be no other person.

Zheng Chenggong's next words made his subordinates even more puzzled, because what he said was, "You have followed me for many years, and naturally know the friendship between this vassal and His Majesty Shaozong, so if you really establish a candidate for the country, this vassal will naturally support the Tang Dynasty."

"Since the vassal lord decided to support Tang, why did he face the King of Tang again?"

Chen Yonghua and the others looked at each other.

Zheng Chenggong said: "You all say that brothers are finally brothers. Indeed, the King of Tang is justified in this way, but this vassal believes that the King of Tang is the king of Tang. What does this relationship have to do with His Majesty Shaozong? Shaozong is his brother and the King of Tang is his younger brother. There is no reason for the younger brother to inherit the elder brother in this world, so this vassal has no intention of supporting Zhu Yue, but this vassal agrees to supporting Tang."

Chen Yonghua understood a little, but was a little confused, and couldn't help asking: "What is the idea of ​​the vassal lord?"

Zheng Chenggong did not go around the circle with them and told him bluntly, saying, "Our vassal possesses Tang, but he does not own him Zhu Yue. This vassal intends to adopt King Yongxing to His Majesty Shaozong as his heir, and then lead the military and civilians of Jinxia to support the king Yongxing, so His Majesty Shaozong has successors, and his blood heirs are incense."

"King Yongxing? How can this work!"

Liu Guoxuan said in a lost voice. No matter how he guessed, he didn't expect that the vassal lord would think of adopting a descendant for Emperor Longwu and to possess this inheritor as the governor!

"Father Lord, the origin of this Yongxing King is unknown. How can you inherit His Majesty Shaozong?" Huang Ting's head shook and said no.

Chen Yonghua also said that King Yongxing’s true identity is difficult to be verified. Whether or not the descendants of Emperor Tang Duan cannot be verified. How could he be adopted by Emperor Longwu? The military and civilians of Jinxia should be regarded as the main one.

Feng Chengshi met Zhu Linwei, who claimed to be the King of Yongxing. He was only 20 years old. He said that he was the third son of Zhu Yuyan, the King of Tang. King of Tang was the half-brother of Emperor Longwu. When Emperor Longwu was the King of Tang, he led his troops north to serve the king. As a result, he was ordered to be deposed as a commoner and imprisoned in Fengyang Prison by the furious Emperor Chongzhen. King of Tang died of illness in the 16th year of Chongzhen. A few months later, the Qing army went south and Nanyang fell. Several officials of the royal palace protected Zhu Linwei, who had just inherited the King of Yongxing, and then hid in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River.

After Emperor Longwu ascended the throne in Fujian, the officials of the royal family took Zhu Linwei to join. Unexpectedly, when they arrived in Fujian, the Qing army had already occupied Fujing, and Emperor Longwu also died in Tingzhou. Several officials of the royal family had no way out and scattered. Only one old official took the eight-year-old Zhu Linwei around. Two years later, the old official heard that there was still Ming army activities in Jinxia, ​​so he brought the ten-year-old Zhu Linwei to Xiamen begging all the way, and was taken to Zheng's army after reporting his identity. Because of Emperor Longwu and Zheng Chenggong was always very tolerant to the Ming royal family, he attached great importance to the nephew of Emperor Longwu, and asked him to study with his son Zheng Jing and deliberately trained him.

There were no less than a hundred Ming royal families coming to take refuge here. King Zhu Yihai of Lu, King Zhu Changqing of Huai, King Zhu Shugui of Ningjing and others were there, so everyone under Yanping's vassal never thought that Zhu Linwei would be supported by the vassal lord, and he was shocked. However, Liu Guoxuan thought that the vassal lord had always been obsessed with the successor to Emperor Longwu. He had no chance before, but now Yongli abandoned the country. If Zhu Linwei really had to adopt Emperor Longwu, he would be a suitable candidate for the ruling of Emperor Longwu in the minds of the gentry and people.

"There is no doubt about the identity of King Yongxing. This vassal has long since asked people to check it carefully. At that time, many officials and servants from the Tang Dynasty's Mansion were found, and they can all prove that King Yongxing is true." Zheng Chenggong knew that his subordinates would question and object to his idea of ​​supporting King Yongxing, but he said this matter in an unquestionable tone, which obviously had already made up his mind and could not be changed.

Listening to the tone of the vassal lord, Chen Yonghua knew it was difficult to persuade him, so he said, "If the vassal lord insisted on supporting the King of Yongxing, his subordinates would have nothing to say. But this move would inevitably conflict with the Taiping Army and Zhongzhen Camp, which would be unfavorable to the overall situation of the anti-Qing Dynasty."

Zheng Chenggong pondered slightly and said, "I want to support King Yongxing, so I don't need to inform Guangdong for the time being."

Chen Yonghua looked embarrassed and said, "The Guangdong envoy is waiting for the letter in the royal palace. If the vassal lord does not agree to support Tang, how will his subordinates reply?"

Zheng Chenggong said without thinking: "I said that my vassal will lead the army north soon and decide on this matter after taking Nandu. Leave it to you to do this."

Chen Yonghua had no choice but to agree.

Liu Yongxuan thought for a while but said, "When King Yongxing conquered the Nandu, he went to Xiaoling to worship, and the King of Tang would be at a disadvantage. At that time, the Taiping Army and Zhongzhen Camp would have to turn to support the King of Yongxing. He would not say that His Majesty Shaozong not only had successors, but also could restore his ancestors."

"This is what this vassal means."

Zheng Chenggong let out a long sigh and looked at the dark night sky again. After a moment, his eyes were red.

When Huang Ting and the others met, they knew that the vassal lord was missing Emperor Longwu again. After looking at each other, they quietly retreated. The vassal lords supported King Yongxing and had to tell Gan Hui, Zheng Tai and the others quickly, otherwise they might have to quarrel until dawn.
