Chapter 11 (11) The Unidentified King of Chu

Li Zicheng, Zuo Liangyu, and Zhang Xianzhong, the three elder brothers, were sticky and tugged all the way to the edge of the Yangtze River. Li Zicheng said: "Teacher a million zucchini, Wu Shan will go crazy immediately, and I will lead my brothers across the south of the Yangtze River." They sent a cavalry team of one thousand men straight to the ferry, and while they were walking, Zuo Liangyu suddenly appeared on the hillside in front of them, and fired more than a dozen cannons, blasting at the cavalry team, killing them alive. half of the people. Li Zicheng was furious, so he simply pulled out his teacher to take the white horse. When he got there, he found the camp at the Baima Ferry lined up, full of murderous looks.

At this time, Li Zicheng understood a little bit, and said: "Old Zuo, I understand what you mean. You just don't want me to cross the river. Then I will go to Beijing to be the emperor." So Li Zicheng turned around and ran to Beijing. Zuo Liangyu crossed the river and came to Wuchang.But according to internal and external investigations, in fact this Zhu Huakui is not of the Zhu family. What is going on here? It turned out that the previous generation of King Chu was King Min Zhu Xianrong.Zhu Xianrong has a son named Zhu Yingyao.This Zhu Yingyaoduan was very handsome and likable, before he even grew up, he got his father's most beautiful concubine.After the incident, he was worried that his father would criticize him, so he simply stabbed his father to death at night, and reported his death to the imperial court.

But he never imagined that Jin Yiwei would find out such a secret operation.After the case was solved, Zhu Yingyao was dragged to the capital Lingchi. So the seat of King Chu fell into the hands of Zhu Xianrong's younger brother Zhu Yingqian. But this Zhu Yingqian was barren and had no son.So the concubine returned to her natal home and lived with her brother Wang Youyan for a year. When she came back, she held a baby in her arms and claimed that he was Zhu Yingqian's son. This child was Zhu Huakui, so he ascended to the title of king of Chu. But within a few years, the concubine's elder brother, Wang Youyan, gave birth to another daughter.After this girl grew up, she married Zhu Huayue, another clan member. The couple told the story when they were talking on the pillow at night.Zhu Hua was overjoyed when he heard about it, so he didn't care about wearing clothes, so he rushed out and reported Zhu Huakui, demanding that he inherit the throne of Chu King.

So the Zhu royal family made a big disturbance in Wuchang City, and the Zhu Huakui and Zhu Huayue families destroyed the governor's office several times.The first governor, Wang Sizhen, was dismissed from his official position, and the second governor, Zhao Kehuai, was even more miserable. He was beaten to death in his official position by these Zhu family thugs.After that, Zhu Huakui and Zhu Huayue's two families paid a lot of money to recruit assassins, assassinated each other, and even intercepted the stage horses entering Beijing on the way. While the fight was in full swing, Zuo Liangyu came to see the king of Chu, Zhu Huakui, and said, "I have something to tell my lord. The bandits are about to cross the river. You must be careful."

Rogue?Zhu Huakui said with a smile: "There is nothing to be afraid of rogues!"I don't believe they can be more difficult to deal with than Zhu. This... Zuo Liangyu said: I am willing to protect the safety of Wuchang here, but since I joined the army, the imperial court has only paid my salary once, so can I ask the prince, um, to borrow some money? Zhu Huakui shook his head: You are really weird, we don't even know anyone, so you borrow money from me, that's too much... Don't you think so? Zuo Liangyu said: If the prince refuses to pay the loan, I am afraid that the army will break out and Zuo will not be able to suppress it.

Zhu Huakui laughed: Old Zuo, are you threatening me?Let me tell you too, I am afraid of everything, I am not afraid of chaos, if you don't believe me, give it a try. You, my lord... Zuo Liangyu was so angry that he had no choice but to say goodbye and leave the house. Just as Zuo Liangyu left, Zhang Xianzhong hurried over.
