In the 16th year, after Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to capture Hengyang, he took his son Zhu Youyuan and Zhu Youlang to Wuzhou, Guangxi.

In this way, although the ministers in Nanjing all believed that the country could not be without a king for a day and had to seize the time to discuss the establishment of a new emperor, they always argued about who the throne belonged to.

Although King Fu was the first in charge, these ministers did not want him to take office. Shi Kefa directly rejected the proposal to get him to power on the grounds that he was "unfaithful and unfilial in the vassal state, and he might not be able to dominate the world."

In addition, Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, listed the ten major crimes of King Fu, the seven major crimes: "greed, lust, alcoholism, unfiliality, failure to study, and intervention in the Youshi Department". The seven must not be

stand.

These seven crimes are really wonderful. Although these crimes seem to be quite harmful, they are common problems for most children of officials. In other words, these shortcomings are facts and cannot be refuted at all.

But what if the prince has no such problems?

The so-called enemy's enemy is a friend. Since some people do not want King Fu to take the throne, there will be someone supporting him.

This person is the eunuch Lu Jiude. In fact, the reason why he firmly supports King Fu is because of his high character in the Donglin Party.

In fact, at the beginning, Lu Jiude did not say that he had to be the plan of King Lifu Zhu Yousong.

Unfortunately, after receiving the news of Emperor Chongzhen's suicide, the Donglin Party members ran around and held countless secret meetings.

Just say you have a secret meeting, but you should ask those important people to come and discuss them together.

Unfortunately, the Donglin Party members have always regarded themselves very well and did not take Lu Jiude, a eunuch, seriously. Therefore, although the secret gatherings were held countless times, they never invited an important figure, Lu Jiude.

In their opinion, Lu Jiude was just a slave, and the great thing that Lu Jiude, a eunuch, could not participate in the support of the emperor.

So after a fierce discussion, they directly denied King Fu.

According to their ideas, since the candidate has been decided, as long as he is taken to stay, it will be decided to hold a throne ceremony.

But I never thought that it was Lu Jiudehuai, who didn't even want to take a look at him, who had their good things.

If this matter is really the case of the Donglin Party members, Lu Jiude did not actually say that he must establish King Fu, but just waited quietly for the Donglin Party members to invite him to discuss the major matter of establishing the king.

But he waited around but saw no one coming to invite him. Seeing that the Donglin Party members had no movement for several days, he finally couldn't sit still and immediately sent someone to inquire.

It doesn't matter if this inquiry is made. The Donglin Party members have actually selected the emperor's candidate and have even sent people to the south to welcome the new emperor.

This is not the most annoying thing. What is most annoying is that not only did these people not call him, they also called him a eunuch and a slave, without taking him seriously at all.

After hearing this news, Lu Jiude was furious at that time and finally calmed down after some blows and smashes.

"Didn't you say you can't establish King Fu? Our family is going to support King Fu." After Lu Jiude said that, he disguised himself as he left the city and took a boat across the river overnight.

His purpose this time is very simple, that is, to win the support of warlords like Jiangbei.

At this time, the military forces of the Ming Dynasty were not completely destroyed. At this time, there were at least five major forces in Jiangbei, and they were all not simple.

These five forces are Lin Dong's Andong army, Liu Zeqing's Shandong army, and there are three armies, including Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo and Huang Degong.

These people all held heavy troops and became princes in the same place.

Compared to the nerds of the Donglin Party, Lu Jiude obviously sees the current situation more clearly.

If you want to support the emperor ascend the throne, it is not OK to have no military power. If you can get the support of the five towns in Jiangbei, are you afraid that Donglin and other nerds will not be able to do it?

Of course, in addition to having enough military power in your hands, you must also move quickly enough.

After all, no matter what happens, there is a way to come first and then arrive. As long as you take control of Nanjing before King Gui Zhu Youying enters Beijing, the throne is still in your own hands.

If you don’t move fast enough and wait until King Gui enters Beijing to become emperor, then as long as the other party gives an imperial edict, he and King Fu will become traitors. If the reputation is not right at that time, everything will be done.

At this moment, among the four towns in Jiangbei, Lindong, occupied the narrow zone of Huai'an to Dengzhou, while Liu Zeqing's Shandong army occupied a large area of ​​land from Jinan Prefecture to Xuzhou, and Gao Jie occupied Xuzhou to Fengyang.

In the area of ​​the mansion, Huang Degong occupied Chuzhou, while Liu Liangzuo's power was sandwiched between Gao Jie and Huang Degong.

In other words, from here to the four towns in Jiangbei, the nearest one is Huang Degong's army.

Due to the tight time, Lu Jiude naturally chose Huang Degong's army first. What surprised him was that when he said he supported King Fu, Huang Degong agreed directly.

This made Lu Jiude very happy. He immediately headed north and headed straight for Huai'an, preparing to lobby for other towns and bring King Fu to Nanjing. In this way, he could not only win over other towns, but also not waste too much time

.

As the saying goes, there are unexpected events in the world and people will have good fortunes and good fortunes. Just as Lu Jiude went north to lobby for other towns, Qian Qianyi learned from some news that Lu Jiude crossed the river to lobby for Huang Degong and obtained support. He was shocked.

.

It was not until this time that he realized that he had made a huge mistake and ignored the important figure of Lu Jiude because of his contempt.

Unfortunately, a big mistake has been made. At this time, I would be afraid that there would be no other effect to ask Lu Jiude to be humiliated.

In a big hurry, Qian Qianyi immediately gathered important figures in the Donglin Party and held a secret meeting overnight.

No one knew the content of the meeting, but the next day, the rising star of Donglin, Mao Pijiang, passed the river the next day.

Lu Jiude naturally didn't know these small actions of the Donglin Party members. He went north and visited Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie respectively. After making some profits, the two of them agreed to Lu Jiude's request and agreed to it one after another.

He supported the proposal of King Fu and agreed to send troops to stay in the capital at that time to strengthen his momentum.

Seeing that things were so easy to accomplish, Lu Jiude was naturally very happy. After coming out from Gao Jie, Huai'an was ready to pick up King Fu and returned to Liudu to ascend the throne.

However, at this moment, a news came, which shocked Lu Jiude. The news was that Huang Degong, who had already agreed to support King Fu, had rebelled for some reason and turned to Donglin to support King Fu.

It's right.

When he heard this news, Lu Jiude almost vomited blood. The support he had spent so much effort to get was turned against by the Donglin Party in a blink of an eye.

What made him even more depressed was that just a short time later, Liu Liangzuo's troops also turned against each other and turned to support King Gui.
