Chapter 4 The death of the Son of Heaven

Although Xiong Wencan doesn't know much about sailing, at least he also knows that it is obviously much faster to travel by sea than to send news by land.

After this incident, Xiong Wencan couldn't help relying more on Xiaotian. At least with Yu Xiaotian's road in the future, he can get the news from the Beijing Normal University faster. This is an extremely important thing for them. If the Beijing Normal University is fast and slow, If something good happens, if you receive the news early, you can definitely arrange it early. If it's late, I don't think you can eat hot shit.

So based on this alone, he has to look more highly at Yu Xiaotian. This time, the news given to him by Yu Xiaotian is really timely. Although today's emperor is still young and generally, under normal circumstances, there will be no death, but it is hard to know how many emperors in the world are not young in all dynasties. There are not many emperors who died young and could really live.

Now that the emperor is seriously ill from Beijing, there may be such an unexpected situation. You know, the death of a generation of emperors is definitely a major event in a dynasty, which involves countless variables.

What's more important is that today's emperor. Since inheriting the unification, no prince has been born over the years. In case the emperor dies, who will inherit the unification next? The variables in this will be bigger.

Although Xiong Wencan was an official in Shandong before, he always kept a close eye on the affairs of the capital. He also specially bought a house in the capital and arranged reliable family members to stay in the capital to inquire about what happened in the capital, so he naturally knew more clearly about the royal affairs.

When he learned the news that the emperor was seriously ill, he would naturally make some analysis. In the end, he gradually turned his attention to Zhu Youjian, the current saint's brother, the king of letters, and Yu Xiaotian seemed to point to the king of letters to him.

So after thinking about it, Xiong Wencan still decided to send someone to the capital and find a way to contact the king first. No matter whether the emperor can get through this time, this investment is still necessary. He is not afraid of ten thousand. If he bets on the treasure, there is no doubt for his future career. It will be a good help.

Think about who can be a fool in such a position as a governor? It can be said that all the people who can do this level are elites. They should be very sensitive to the affairs of officialdom. Of course, Xiong Wencan is no exception. Otherwise, he will not leave a strong mark in history. Although his end in history is really a little sad, it does not mean that his IQ is better than anyone else. How low, only because of his ability and a little cheap mouth, eventually led to him to recruit Zhang Xianzhong, and then Zhang Xianzhong rebelled again, causing him to be arrested and beheaded.

However, Yu Xiaotian is not too entangled in this matter. Although he knows best about the future trend of the Ming Dynasty, now he is just a small general. Although he is also a little status in the Ming military system, he can also stamp his feet in Fujian. The character who called the rain, but if he is put on the whole Ming Dynasty Hall, he is really just a small shrimp.

With his current status, if he wants to take the opportunity to praise the future Emperor Chongzhen, it is really not enough. Even if he barely makes abusing Chongzhen's suspicious personality, it is really not necessarily a good thing or bad thing.

What Yu Xiaotian wants now is to secretly develop and expand his strength. In the future, when the world is in chaos, he will be born to lead an army to pursue the Central Plains. Before that, he thought that he had better not show off the mountains and rivers and be seen by the future wise and powerful Emperor Chongzhen.

Otherwise, one day, the great Chongzhen Emperor, who was forced by the eyes of the people of Tazi or Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, suddenly remembered that he was the number one person and asked him to lead his troops north to be his thugs, which would be very sad!

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian will sell this cheaply to Xiong Wencan. I hope that Xiong Wencan can seize this opportunity and move forward. If nothing unexpected happens, Xiong Wencan will not stop as the governor of Fujian. According to the development of the original process of history, Xiong Wencan will rely on Fujian in the next few years. Political achievements, promoted to governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

What he needs now is to help Xiong Wencan take this step. As long as Xiong Wencan can follow the normal development and become the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, he can use Xiong Wencan's power to extend his tentacles to Guangdong, Guangxi and other places in the future.

You should know that in the future, in addition to Nanzhili and Zhejiang, Guangdong will be the richest and most stable areas. Once he can operate Guangdong as his rear base in the future, then at least the source of grain can be guaranteed to a certain extent.

However, if he wants to extend his tentacles to Guangxi, Guangdong with the help of maritime power alone, I'm afraid he is still weak at present. At best, he can only sweep the seas of Guangdong and become the real hegemon of Daming Sea, but if he wants to develop into Guangdong, it is estimated that there are still a lot of variables.

Therefore, he needs Xiong Wencan to help him now. Xiong Wencan wants to use him to achieve some political achievements, so why hasn't he also been using Xiong Wencan to make himself?

In the following days, Yu Xiaotian, like an audience, quietly watched all kinds of news from Beijing.

All the news is showing that the historical giant does not seem to have too much deflected and is rolling in the original direction.

In August, a period of time after Emperor Xizong fell into the water and was rescued, Emperor Zhu Youxiao also seemed to feel that his body could not stand it. He felt that he might not have much time, and he suffered from the fact that he did not give birth to a son to inherit his throne. Once he died one day, then the Ming Dynasty could not No emperor inherits the throne.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, he recruited Xinwang Zhu Youjian into the palace...

On August 22, Emperor Xizong finally failed to survive and died in the Qianqing Palace, taking his unfulfilled dream to the west.

Two days later, Zhu Youjian, the king of Xin, that is, Emperor Chongzhen, came to the world with the will of his brother, Emperor Zhu Youxiao, and became the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

This time, the news of the death of the emperor and the accession of the new emperor, the court summoned various places at the fastest speed, so even when Yu Xiaotian received the news, he only had time to give it to Xiong Wencan. Before he could make more reactions and arrangements, the fast riders summoned by the imperial capital had arrived in Fuzhou and sent the news to Fujian officials. Fang.

Yu Xiaotian thought for a moment and finally decided to go to Fuzhou City in person to meet Xiong Wencan. By the way, he also took Lin Yiyang to Fuzhou City together to see Xiong Wencan.

When he rushed to Fuzhou City, Xiong Wencan did not seem to recover from the shocking news, with a sad look on his face.

Xiong Wencan felt a little surprised by Yu Xiaotian's sudden visit. Although he has been very respectful to him since Yu Xiaotian's caress, after all, he is a provincial governor and usually has to stay in Fuzhou City, and Yu Xiaotian, as a major general, naturally has to stay on the land under his jurisdiction. The two usually just each other Just send people to exchange information, but we haven't met directly.

This time, Yu Xiaotian came without calling, which made Xiong Wencan a little surprised, so he put down the matter at hand and recruited Xiaotian into his outer study.

After Yu Xiaotian took Lin Yiyang into the study, he saluted Xiong Wencan together and briefly said that after the two sides exchanged greetings, Xiong Wencan ordered people to have tea and retreated all the left and right idle people.

Xiong Wencan is not a stupid person. He knew very well that at this time, Yu Xiaotian suddenly rushed from Weitou Bay to Fuzhou City. There must be quite important things to discuss with him, so it was not easy for too many people to know about these things. Therefore, he drove people out of the outer study and ordered that no one should approach the outer study.

"Filial, I don't know what's important if you don't call me to see me this time? There are no outsiders here anymore. You might as well make a straight deal!" When Xiong Wencan saw that there were no outsiders, he asked Xiaotian without covering it, as if he treated Yu Xiaotian as his confidant.

However, Yu Xiaotian did not become presumptuous because of Xiong Wencan's attitude. He still pretended to be cautious and said respectfully to Xiong Wencan, "Your Excellency, I recently received some news from Beijing. I didn't pay attention to it, but my subordinate Lin Zanhua noticed something from these news. Love may be beneficial to adults! This kind of thing is of no use to my subordinates, but I'm afraid it will be helpful to Futai!

So after thinking about it, I still decided to come to see the adult rashly. Whether the adult adopts it or not, it is also my subordinates's intention!"

After listening to this, Xiong Wencan raised his eyebrows slightly. During this period, he had the most news about the capital. He specially arranged for people to rush to the capital to collect all the news about the court and send the news back to him as soon as possible.

And through Yu Xiaotian's performance some time ago, he has determined that Yu Xiaotian has a faster way to get information from the capital, even better than the information collected by his personnel in Beijing, so today Yu Xiaotian's words immediately attracted enough attention.

Yu Xiaotian saw that there was no one else left and right, and he did not hesitate, because this matter was of great importance. Although on the surface, it was not much involved with him, but in essence, it still had a lot to do with him.
