Ming: I am fake, walking on thin ice

Chapter 2 Do you dare to be the emperor?

The old general almost cried out, but he immediately held it back.

His name was Zhang Fu, Duke of Ying of the Ming Dynasty, and he was the eldest son of Zhang Yu, a famous general in the Jingnan Rebellion.

When he was young, he followed Prince of Yan Zhu Di to quell the rebellion. He earned military merits on the battlefield with his own abilities and was granted the title of Marquis of Xincheng.

During the Yongle period, he led a large army to sweep across Annan, changed Annan into Jiaozhi, and established the Jiaozhi Provincial Administration. After the war, he was awarded the title of Duke of Yingzhou for his merits.

Afterwards, he followed Emperor Yongle in the Northern Expedition and conquered the Wolf's Lair.

In the first year of Xuande, he helped Emperor Xuanzong to quell the rebellion of King Han.

After Yingzong ascended the throne, he was given the title of Yilian Zuoli Gongchen.

A veteran minister of four dynasties, he had made outstanding military achievements.

But his glorious reputation in this life was ruined at Tumu Fort.

He watched helplessly as the emperor's central army was surrounded by Yesen's army. He launched several attacks but failed to break in, and all his personal guards were killed in the battle.

"This young man is not Your Majesty." Zhang Fu calmed down.

The young man in front of him looked exactly like Your Majesty, and even his voice was similar when he spoke just now.

But he is not His Majesty, because His Majesty has been captured by Yesen. This was told to him by the veteran general Fan Zhong with his last breath after he broke out of the siege.

That's why he hurried to Huailai City to lead his troops back to rescue His Majesty.

But where do the soldiers come from in Huailai City now?
"You!" Zhang Fu pointed at Zhu Qizhen, "Follow me, General."

"I... I don't know how to fight, General, I'm just passing by." Zhu Qizhen was numb.

Zhang Fu was sure that this was not His Majesty.

Because he is an old minister who has served four dynasties and has watched Your Majesty grow up, Your Majesty recognizes him even more.

"If you keep talking nonsense to me, I will kill you right now." Zhang Fu shouted coldly.

Zhu Qizhen shut up.

It seems that he is a general of high rank. If he gives the order to kill me, I will be finished.

……

Zhu Qizhen followed Zhang Fu into a military tent.

After Zhang Fu sat down, his brain started working rapidly.

Your Majesty was captured by Yesen.

If soldiers are gone, they can be called up again; if ministers die, they can be promoted again. In fact, it doesn’t matter if the emperor dies, just appoint another one.

The tricky problem now is that the emperor has been captured.

He thought of the two emperors Huizong and Qinzong of the Song Dynasty who were abducted by the Jin people. What a shame that was.

Jingkang shame is still not snowing; when the courtiers hate, when will they die.

Several generations after Yue Fei were unable to avenge their humiliation.

In the end, it became a shame for China.

"No!" Zhang Fu sat up suddenly, "I can't be such a minister! The Ming Dynasty cannot have such a shame!"

At this time, he even hoped that the emperor would die.

The most troublesome thing is that the emperor did not die but became a prisoner.

If he dies, you can appoint a new one. If he is missing, at least you can appoint an emperor first and solve the current problems.

But the current situation is exactly the worst one. Not only are people still alive, but they are also held hostage by Yesen.

Yesen would certainly seize this opportunity, use the emperor in his hands to issue orders to the Ming Dynasty, and blatantly demand a ransom.

The ransom is not a problem, the Ming Dynasty can afford it, but the problem is that even if the ransom is paid, the person will probably not be released. Yesen has tasted the sweetness, and he will definitely use it for a long time, asking for ransom every year. If you dare not to pay the ransom, you will be disregarding the emperor's life and death. How will the subjects of the world see it?
The Ming Dynasty will be in dire straits as a result.

Your Majesty, why can't you sacrifice your life for your country?

I told you not to fight this war, but you insisted on fighting it. Do you want to emulate Taizong and Xuanzong? Is that something you can learn?
And that damned eunuch Wang Zhen! He is such a traitor and a traitor to the country!
"General, can I leave now?" Zhu Qizhen raised his hand weakly.

He is also anxious.

If we don't leave now, Yesen's army of hundreds of thousands will arrive.

…Zhang Fu’s eyes fell on him.

This person actually looks exactly like Your Majesty, even I can't tell them apart, it's hard to mistake the fake for the real thing...

and many more!

He stood up, looked Zhu Qizhen up and down, and an idea came to his mind that would definitely kill all nine generations of his clan.

"What if we let him pretend to be His Majesty? Then we can announce to the public that the His Majesty that Yesen captured is a fake!"

"In this way, all problems are solved and difficulties are gone."

At this moment, Zhang Fu's heart was beating wildly.

Pretending to be the emperor would mean more than just the confiscation of property and the extermination of the clan.

As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, I have received the grace of four generations of emperors. How can I do this? How can I be worthy of the kindness of Emperor Xuanzong who entrusted me with his orphan?
Do not! Do not!
I just want to defend the Ming Dynasty.

Once the current dilemma is resolved, let this fake emperor abdicate to Prince Qing, and the country will still belong to the Zhu family.

No, absolutely not!
If something happens, my Zhang family will be finished.

But if the Ming Dynasty is over, where would the Zhang family come from? The Zhang family has been blessed by the emperor for generations, and I shouldn’t only consider the Zhang family.

At worst, I will kill this fake emperor.

Everything, for the Ming Dynasty!

"Report~" a voice came from outside the tent, "General, Yesen's army is heading towards Huaiyuan City, they... they are holding Your Majesty!"

Zhang Fu stood up suddenly.

This is what he is most worried about.

As long as Yesen's army put the Ming emperor at the front of his team, the Ming army would be afraid to attack.

I can’t defend, and I can’t fight back. What should I do?

Then Yesen would take advantage of the Ming Emperor to go directly to the capital.

The Ming Dynasty is in danger of being destroyed.

……

Zhang Fu's face was twisted with entanglement. He stared at Zhu Qizhen and said in a deep voice: "Little brother, this general has a huge fortune for you!"

"No!" Zhu Qizhen shook his head quickly.

Don't think about it, it's definitely not a good thing, the old man is very bad.

"Hahaha!" Zhang Fu laughed, "Little brother, do you know who this general is?"

"Who are you?" Zhu Qizhen was really curious.

"This general is the Duke of Ying of the Ming Dynasty, the Left Pillar of the State, Zhang Fu." A gleam of light flashed in Zhang Fu's eyes.

Zhu Qizhen was secretly shocked.

In his previous life, he was also familiar with the History of Ming Dynasty, so of course he knew Zhang Fu. But it was not right, because the history books said that Zhang Fu died in the Battle of Tumu.

Damn, isn’t it the same Ming Dynasty?
Who changed the plot?
"My Lord, based on my short life experience, if something suddenly goes well for no reason, there will definitely be something bad happening afterwards." Zhu Qizhen spread his hands, "You are definitely not lending me money, then you are probably lending me my life."

That's exactly what he thought in his heart.

It's so hard to live a new life, don't let it end before you even leave the Novice Village.

What is the current situation? Yesen's army of hundreds of thousands has arrived, and the first priority is of course to escape.

"It's rare to find such a calm young man." Zhang Fu's eyes were cold. "Lend your life? Haha, forgive me for being blunt, it's just a rotten life, who would care?"

Zhu Qizhen shuddered.

A rotten life?
I've lived two lives, can't I be a little more heroic?
"Don't you want to know what this general wants you to do?" Zhang Fu's eyes were filled with madness. "That's what all men have wanted since ancient times."

Zhu Qizhen was curious and asked, "What? What can a small shrimp like me do?"

Zhang Fu came close to him and asked in a low voice, "Do you dare to be the emperor?"
