Chapter 845 Who is pitiful

"This is unfair. When did weakness and incompetence become an advantage? Zhu Chenhao has been studying poems and books since I was a child, listening to the chicken dancing and trying to cure it. Has it become the reason for my failure?

"Is it fair?" Song Nan narrowed his eyes and said, "Everyone is qualified to talk about this word, but you can't. You used to seize money and commit violence in Nanchang. How many people have been harmed by you without food and clothing? Have you ever wondered if this is fair? When you colluded with bandits to run rampant in Jiangxi, when you eliminated dissidents and killed court officials, when you used the emperor's trust in you to instigate the emperor to take Longhu Huichun pills, when you mobilized soldiers and horses to force me to flee Jiangxi from the sea, have you ever wondered if all this was fair?

Zhu Chenhao's chest was undulating and his face was pale, but he couldn't speak.

Song Nan said coldly, "If you succeed in rebellion and sit in the world, that's the greatest injustice; can't you figure this truth yet? You could have honestly enjoyed a lifetime of wealth, and no one would investigate why you were born rich and fair. You felt unfair and took risks; in fact, you did get justice, and your situation today is the greatest fairness!"

Zhu Chenhao coughed violently, reached out and stroked his chest, and bowed his burly and beautiful body into a shrimp.

After a long time, Zhu Chenhao gasped and said, "Well, it's useless to say this now. Today, I fell into such a field, and I don't have to say anything. Anyway, I would like to thank you for salvaging the bodies of my mother and my beloved concubine into the coffin, leaving nothing else. For this alone, please be worshipped by my Zhu Chenhao.

Zhu Chenhao got up with difficulty and saluted Song Nan deeply. Song Nan returned the salute with his fist and said gently: "The bodies of the old lady and the princess have not been blasphemed. The clothes at the time of entering the coffin are the new birthday clothes I ordered to make. They are the best tailor in Nanjing, and the material is the best Yunjin in Nanjing. The person who enters the coffin to change clothes and wipe is also the old-qualified coffinist invited; although you are rebellious in the court, the old lady and princess are victims, so I naturally treat them with courtesy.

Zhu Chenhao's eyes were moist and whispered, "Thank you very much."

Song Nan sighed, "Look, what have you done? In addition to the suffering of people on the way from Jiangxi to Nanjing, killing and injuring more than 100,000 people and hundreds of thousands of people, you have also harmed your family. Do you want to know the whereabouts of the prince?"

Zhu Chenhao asked with tears in his eyes, "Where is my son?"

Song Nan sighed and said, "Not long ago, your rebel generals cut off his head to ask for credit, and I have buried him."

Zhu Chenhao shouted, and the muscles on his face twisted and fell to the ground.

"That's all, that's all. In short, it's hard to die sooner or later. So, Duke of Zhen, what do you want to do with me? Did you cut my head with a knife, or did you want to bring me to Zhengde?

Song Nan said, "I promised the emperor to bring you to him in person, so I will escort you to the capital."

Zhu Chenhao laughed loudly and cried. After the laughter stopped, he pointed to Song Nan and said, "Song Nan, you think you know me, but in fact, you don't know me well enough. I have a temperament that Zhu Chenhao that you don't know, which is my pride. How can I let you take me to the capital and bow down in front of that incompetent person? Confess and then accept his insult? If you take my body to the capital, I will never bow to the mediocre king.

Song Nan was shocked and stared at Zhu Chenhao, but saw Zhu Chenhao's cheek muscles shaking, his teeth crunching, and then a wisp of green juice flowed out at the corners of his mouth. Zhu Chenhao raised his head and swallowed his mouth and opened his mouth, revealing a neat green unknown** The teeth laughed.

Song Nan was shocked: "What did you do?"

Zhu Chenhao resisted the pain in his stomach and whispered, "I have poisonous drugs in my mouth. I have bitten the pills and taken highly poison. This poison is incurable. You don't have to try to save me. Well...ah...Song Nan, I'm about to die. Finally, I ask you one thing...please...please promise...promise me."

Song Nan sighed and said, "Tell me."

Zhu Chenhao stroked his abdomen with his hand, and his face was full of black air. He gasped vigorously and said, "I hope you... can... bury my mother... and... my beloved concubine. Bury my son... with them... let them be buried... for peace. As for my... body, you can deal with it whatever you want. I will be very grateful to help me do this... and I can also... close my eyes..."

When the words fell, Zhu Chenhao fell to the ground, his eyes were wide open, and black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth and nostrils. Song Nan reached out to probe his breath, and his breath was cut off. Song Nan sighed and whispered, "I promised you."

When the words fell, Zhu Chenhao slowly closed his eyes, and there was a grunt in his throat. The last breath exhaled his heart and lungs, like a long sigh.

......

The vigorous Chenhao Rebellion was completely subsided with Zhu Chenhao's death. Zhu Chenhao had been prepared for several years, and it can be said that he was ready in all aspects, but he never expected that the failure would come so quickly. In less than a month, the rebellion he had carefully prepared to seize the country would disappear.

Song Nan's strategy is indispensable, but in fact, the deeper reason is that the people of the Ming Dynasty are eager for peace. Over the years, the court's foreign wars and civil wars have been endless. Most of the Ming Dynasty has experienced the suffering of war, and people's livelihood has reached a point where it is difficult to survive. At this time, what is most needed is recuperation. Rest and restore peace. Zhu Chenhao's rebellion at this time did not even have a basic mass base, and the hope of success was naturally extremely slim.

Song Nan ordered all places to strictly investigate the remnants of the remnants of the rebellion to avoid a resurgence. At the same time, the army rested for a few days in Anqing Prefecture and was ready to start a triumphant. Wang Shouren arrived in Anqing five days after breaking through Anqing City to see Song Nan. The two met again, although they were like old friends reunited and were overjoyed.

Song Nan hosted a banquet in a restaurant in the city to entertain Wang Shouren, affirming his great contribution to quell the rebellion, and ordered him to deal with the aftermath and then go to the capital. The court will definitely have a reward. After this cooperation, both of them have cherished each other, and Wang Shouren's preconceptions with Song Nan has finally been gradually eliminated.

When the wine was hot, when they talked about the ending of Zhu Chenhao, both of them sighed. Wang Shouren took out his set of philosophical theories to apply Zhu Chenhao's actions, saying that he had no intention, but his intention was evil and no one could curb it, so he became an evildoer.

Song Nan has his own evaluation of Zhu Chenhao. In fact, Zhu Chenhao is not only an ambitious person, but also an ambitious person. As a member of the Zhu family, he has a greater sense of responsibility. He always regards the Ming Dynasty as his own share. The sense of ownership is so strong that he sees Zhengde's As a result, he was dissatisfied from the bottom of his heart, which led to the idea of opposing his replacement.

At the time of smoking, Song Nan couldn't help asking Wang Shouren's views on the situation of the court. Wang Shouren drank wine and was much bolder. I don't know whether it was sincere or fake. The meaning of his words made Song Nan a little panic.

"Today's Ming Dynasty can't withstand any turmoil. If the court is still in this pattern, the culture and martial arts are not compatible, they are mutually restrained, and they are their own parties, but the situation will continue to deteriorate. I am not unfounded. The disunity and mutual distrust in the imperial court are the root cause of internal and external troubles. It is often said that brothers work together to break the gold. The officials in the court serve as ministers, and if the brothers can work together to reverse the bitter situation and blindly serve selfishness, then there is nothing to look forward to.

Song Nan was surprised by Wang Shouren's boldness, but he was also pleased that Wang Shouren shared his own views. He had always thought that the struggle and instability within the court was the root cause of the ultimate national exhaustion. Unexpectedly, Wang Shouren also thought so.

Song Nan put her tongue on her tongue and asked, "What do you mean, Wen Wu Xunqi, how can the inner court and the outer court work together? I'm sorry I can't think of a solution."

Wang Shouren smiled and said with his tongue: "The Duke of Zhen asked me this question. I, Wang Shouren, really can't answer it. All I know is that if the internal and external courts are sincere and united, and the civil and military officials are like brothers."

"What is it compared to?"

"The sun rises and sets in the east..."

Song Nan laughed and said, "That means it's impossible?"

"The subordinate thinks it is impossible. There is only one way to do this."

Song Nan smiled and said, "What's the way?"

Wang Shouren stared into Song Nan's eyes. Song Nan saw that his eyes were extremely sober and he was not drunk at all: "The Duke of Zhen should know what to do. You don't need to talk too much."

Song Nan shook her head with a smile and said, "Song doesn't understand."

Wang Shouren smiled and said, "Don't worry, Shouren is not a pedantic person. As long as no one does anything against him, it is beneficial to Daming, but beneficial to the people. Shouren does not think it is wrong and will not criticize him. On the contrary, Shouren will try his best to support and advocate for him. It's not that the Duke of Zhen doesn't understand, but he just doesn't want to say it.

Song Nan laughed and raised his glass and said, "Drink and drink."

Wang Shouren raised his glass and drank it all, and the two drank a few more cups and dispersed.

On the way back to the camp, Li Daniu secretly asked Song Nan, "Brother, what kind of riddle did Lord Wang play with you? What do you not understand? Do you know what you don't know?"

Song Nan smiled and said, "Brother Daniel, are you also interested in all this?"

Li Daniu scratched his head and said, "I'm just asking, I'm not interested. I just want to learn some skills. I've been confused for too long. If I don't learn some real skills, it will be really difficult to gain a foothold in the future."

Song Nan nodded and said, "Very good, I really need to learn, and I will solve this mystery with you. How can the chaotic situation of the court be stabilized? Would you like to talk about it?"

Li Daniu scratched his head and thought, "I remember that there are three cousins in Taiyuan's family. They are noisy and fighting all day long, and sometimes they fight with knives. Uncle and aunt are so annoyed that they are all their own flesh and blood, and they can't do anything to them. Later, when my aunt died, my cousin continued to play a new cousin and came with a son older than my cousins. The boy was very fierce. Whenever he heard them noisy, he beat him severely. Finally, he set a rule for them. He was allowed to say only ten words a day. Whoever says one more sentence will be beaten and not to eat. After a few years, I will When I went to my cousin's house to visit my relatives, the house was quiet and safe. My cousins fell in love with each other, and there was no more noise. I wonder if a person also needs to come out of the court, just like the adopted son, to suppress them with absolute authority, so that they have no noisy courage and power at all. Maybe this is the solution.

Song Nan picked up his big finger and laughed and said, "Da Niu, you are very progressive. The seemingly simple and rough method is actually the most effective way. Some truths don't make sense, and there is no need to say it."

In the loud laughter, Song Nan waved his whip and urged the horse and left.
