Chapter 165 (7) Competition for candidates for the throne

Li Zicheng was injured and did not return to Zhiding Town, but lived in Yuhuang Pavilion. His Majesty's concubines brought him exquisite meals, and invited His Majesty to have a meal.As soon as Li Zicheng picked up the chopsticks, he received an urgent report: Report, Wu Sangui was gnawing dry buns and drinking cold water, and chased after him again. Li Zicheng laughed when he heard this: This Wu Sangui is really a workaholic. He doesn't care about his body when he works, and he is not afraid of getting stomach problems.I don't have the same knowledge as him, so I will go to Shanxi first.

Li Zicheng fled into Shanxi, and Wu Sangui chased after him for a while. Feeling that his strength should also be repaired, he gave up the pursuit and returned to Beijing. Dorgon walked out to meet him, very enthusiastic.Firecrackers blared in Beijing, making it very lively. At the same time, as far away as the accompanying capital Nanjing, the sky is full of gongs and drums, drums and music are playing in unison, and the sound of firecrackers is deafening. The level of excitement is no less than that of Beijing. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing was the capital. Later, King Zhu Di of Yan moved the capital to Beijing. However, Nanjing has all the palaces and houses, and the system is sound. Since then, it has become the second political center of the Ming Dynasty.

With underdeveloped information, no television, no newspapers, and no Internet, the people of Nanjing are ignorant of what is going on in the world.At the beginning, I heard that the capital had fallen, but no one could tell how it fell. Shi Kefa, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Gao Hongtu, Minister of the Ministry of Households, launched a round of fundraising activities, calling on everyone to sell their houses, land and wives, and donate all their money. Donate, but donate money to do?Even Shi Kefa himself couldn't explain clearly. A few days later, the news was finally confirmed. Not only did Beijing fall, but even Emperor Chongzhen was dead. The most terrible thing was that before Chongzhen died, he was afraid that some prince would secretly ascend the throne outside and take away his power. His own son was not allowed to leave Beijing, so all the princes became Li Zicheng's captives.

It doesn't matter if there is no prince, there is still the clan. What is clan?It's that the blood relationship with Chongzhen is relatively close. There are really two such people in Nanjing: One is Fu Wang Zhu Yousong, this child is pitiful. His biological father fell into the hands of Li Zicheng, who was killed by Li Zicheng and ate meat.The child Zhu Yousong was so frightened that he was schizophrenic and fled all the way to Nanjing. The other is Lu Wang Zhu Changfang. Speaking of which, he is still the uncle of Fu Wang Zhu Yousong, but now the two uncles and nephews have become opponents in the election.

Thus, the grand election for the emperor of the Nanming Dynasty kicked off with vigor and vitality. Let me talk about these two candidates first. Fu Wang has seven major hobbies. The first is that he likes to bully his own father, which is unfilial; The third is that the administrative ability is extremely poor, but he especially likes to be a tyrant; the fourth is that he doesn't like reading, and he is proud of himself as a big boss; He is reluctant to let go; the sixth is particularly lustful, and pervert is his pet name; Compared with King Fu, King Lu is much inferior. He is courteous to corporals and treats people with humility. These things are very boring to talk about, and they will not enrich life.

So which of these two candidates should be the emperor? It just so happened that Shi Kefa, Minister of the Ministry of War, was not there-this Shi Kefa was very strange, and he would definitely not be there when it came to important occasions.It's really strange that he can find something more important than this to get out of such a matter as supporting a king-so Ma Shiying, the Minister of the Ministry of War, made the decision. Ma Shiying decided to become King Fu. Why Li Fu Wang? Because he is unfilial, cruel, arbitrarily powerful, stupid, addicted to money, lustful, drunk, and full of seven poisons.

If there is democratic deliberation and voting, King Fu will definitely have no chance to become emperor.But because of this, Ma Shiying acted decisively and elected King Fu. If Fu Wang, who had no chance to be emperor at all, became emperor on the recommendation of Ma Shiying, who should he thank? Of course I want to thank Ma Shiying. In order to achieve this goal, Ma Shiying started canvassing.
