Chapter two hundred and seventy-first

Qian Qianyi and Chen Zilong are preparing to go south in Dinghai. Zhu Hongsan, who is thousands of miles away, is waiting for Feng Ruoshu to send good news. Today, Feng Ruoshu is going to persuade Chen Zizhuang to surrender. This is an important part of whether Zhu Hongsan's group can obtain full support from local forces in Guangdong, so there must be no mistakes.

A few days ago, Chen Zizhuang had already received a reply from Zhu Hongsan to the King of Tang, but Zhu Hongsan only put Chen Zizhuang's entourage back to Fujian. Because Chen was about to give birth, his grandfather could not stay away from him.

Chen Zizhuang didn't expect that Zhu Hongsan was so shameless and vulgar, and he cursed Zhu Hongsan in the post station every day.

Today, Chen Zizhuang had nothing to do after having enough food in the morning, and was about to start scolding Zhu Hongsan's ancestor, King Chu Zhu Zhen. At this moment, someone came in outside to inform him that Lord Feng Ruoshu and Feng were here.

Chen Zizhuang snorted, it seemed that the lobbyist was coming. Zhu Hongsan also found several people a few days ago, including Chen Zizhuang's younger brother Chen Zisheng, who was also sent, and they were all scolded by Chen Zizhuang.

But Feng Ruoshu is unusual today. Not to mention that his age and qualifications are far above Chen Zizhuang. Feng Ruoshu and Chen Zizhuang's father Chen Xichang are close friends. They were both Qingliu back then, and they wore pairs of pants. Can the relationship be shallow?

Chen Zizhuang thought for a while and said, "Please!" No matter what, Feng Ruoshu is Chen Zizhuang's uncle, and it is really unreasonable to not see him.

The Prime Minister did not wear official uniforms today, but just wore a long linen gown, a square flat scarf on his head, and an origami fan in his hand. In addition, Old Man Feng is hypocritical and fairy-like, so he really wants to show off and show off.

Chen Zizhuang knew what Feng Ruoshu was here for, but he was willing to live up to his face. Seeing Old Man Feng come in, he quickly stepped forward and said, "I don't know that uncle has come and my nephew has not gone out to greet him. It's a death sentence!"

Feng Ruoshu stepped forward and helped Chen Zizhuang up, and said with a smile: "Jisheng, it has been twenty years since you and your father and son separated from each other for the third year of the Apocalypse. I didn't expect that I could still see my nephew!"

"Yes, in the third year of Tianqi, my father and son were both dismissed from office because of the eunuch party. The father and son were both dismissed from office on the same day and were demoted to the people. At that time, my uncle was released from Henan's governor, so he did not part with his uncle!"

Feng Ruoshu's face turned red. The father and son fought with the eunuch party back then and also looked for him. But he did not agree to them for the sake of his career. It seems that Chen Zizhuang still holds a grudge against him now!

Feng Ruoshu laughed, "It's better not to mention those old things!" After that, he came to the hall and sat down on the main seat.

Chen Zizhuang was also so shameless that he couldn't help it, but this old guy was his uncle. If he didn't respect his reputation in Shilin, he would be completely ruined, so he had no choice. He stepped forward and sat down to accompany Feng Ruoshu.

Chen Zizhuang also knew what Old Man Feng was doing, so he said first: "Uncle, if you are here to reminisce about the past today, your nephew will greet you. If you are a lobbyist for the King of Chu, please stop talking about it. Chen Zizhuang will never be loyal to the evil King of Chu!"

"Jisheng, Uncle is not here today to persuade you, but just to show you a military order from the King of Chu, which is related to your Emperor Longwu!" After Feng Ruoshu said that, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Chen Zizhuang.

Chen Zizhuang didn't want to answer, but when he heard that it was related to his side, he reached out to take the paper and looked at it.

The order was very simple, and Zhu Hongsan asked Li Zhi from Zhoushan to stop all military activities in Nanzhili and Zhejiang.

Chen Zizhuang was not a useless scholar. After reading it, he immediately understood Zhu Hongsan's plan. This was to use the Qing Dynasty to eliminate competitors. Without Li Zhi and others' restraint, the Qing Dynasty could mobilize a large army to move south. The first unlucky one was the Lu regime in Shaoxing, and the second unlucky one was the Tang King in Fujian.

Chen Zizhuang stood up and cursed: "This bastard prince, he ignored the righteousness of his family and country for his own selfish interests, and was attracting the wolf into the house!"

Feng Ruoshu smiled and looked at Chen Zizhuang standing in the room and cursing Zhu Hongsan. After waiting for ten minutes, Chen Zizhuang was tired of scolding. Feng Ruoshu continued, "Jisheng, there is another thing that I want to tell you, that is, in my reply to the King of Tang, I wrote a letter to the King of Tang for you."

Chen Zizhuang felt something was wrong and stood up and asked, "What letter?"

"It's nothing. I just use Ji Sheng's handwriting to tell the King of Tang that you offered this military order from the King of Chu. At the same time, your family is in Guangdong, so you are going to stay in the King of Chu to develop and let the King of Tang eat himself!"

Chen Zizhuang really didn't expect that Feng Ruoshu could do such a shameless thing.

Chen Zizhuang's hands were trembling with anger. He stood up and pointed at Feng Ruoshu with his fingers and said, "Hello! Hello! My Chen family will be ruthless with you in the future!" After that, he raised his head to look at the north and shouted, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent, I can only repay the king with one death!" After that, Chen Zizhuang was about to hit him head-on. But when Old Man Feng came, he was guarding against this move. He had already occupied two powerful soldiers from Kong Wu at the door. Seeing that Chen Zizhuang was about to play tricks, he immediately went into the house to hug Chen Zizhuang.

Chen Zizhuang was not dead, so he jumped and cursed: "Feng Ruoshu, if you ask me to die, I will not be in the same sky as you, the insidious villain!"

Feng Ruoshu asked the two soldiers to tie Chen Zizhuang to a chair. When Chen Zizhuang scolded him tired, Feng Ruoshu stood up and said, "Jisheng, since King Tang and King Lu have no way to live, why can't they serve the King of Chu?"

"Fuck, your monarch and minister are so despicable and vulgar. I, Chen Zizhuang, will never serve the bastard Zhu Hongsan. You guys will die! "

Feng Ruoshu sighed and said, "Since Jisheng doesn't agree, then you can die, but what should you do with your younger brother, son, daughter, grandson, and family? When the Qing Dynasty fought in Guangdong, you can die, but they have to live their lives with an ugly braid!"

"Hmph, I believe they can sacrifice their lives for the country!"

"Even if they can, what about the people of Guangdong? Do you want them to still go to the sea in Yashan like the Southern Song Dynasty? Do you want the Yuncong Academy you run to become a fishy place from now on?"

Hearing Feng Ruoshu say this, Chen Zizhuang stopped talking. He could die, and even the whole family could die, but what should the people in Guangdong do?

Feng Ruoshu saw Chen Zizhuang like this and knew that his plan worked. Old Man Feng's plan was very simple, which was to cut off all the retreats of Chen Zizhuang, and then use the righteousness of the country to force Chen Zizhuang to submit. Although Zhu Hongsan was not a good monarch, he was better than the Qing Tartars who shave their heads and change their clothes!

"Jisheng, you don't understand the King of Chu. The King of Chu was born in poverty and knew the sufferings of the people. In addition, the King of Chu himself had the talent of Liu Bang, so he would be the best candidate for the restoration of the Ming Dynasty in the future." Chen Zizhuang agreed with this sentence. Zhu Hongsan was cruel and ruthless, even thick-skinned, even better than Liu Bang.

"Jisheng, the world is in chaos now, and I am the Han people who are about to repeat the disaster of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China. What I need now is the King of Chu who is firm in his mind and talented and wise, not the indecisive person like the King of Tang!"

"No, I, Emperor Longwu, is diligent in my work and love the people, and I am not comparable to you, King Chu!"

"Okay, your Fujian army is in the hands of Zheng Zhilong's pirate. Your King of Tang is just a puppet he supported. Even if Jisheng is right, the King of Tang can handle the relationship between all parties and restore the Ming Dynasty. By then, Zheng Zhilong will probably become the second Cao Cao!"

The strength of the various factions in the Longwu Dynasty was indeed a problem, and Chen Zizhuang understood very well. Feng Ruoshu said that Chen Zizhuang was speechless.

"But our King of Chu is different. All our Guangdong troops are under the control of the King of Chu. All soldiers are proud of their loyalty to the King of Chu. The governments and orders are clear and the people live and work in peace. You have also seen this few days after you come back. Dongguan is in a prosperous situation. You don't know yet. Just in Dongguan, I have collected nearly five million taels of tax this year, and nearly ten million taels of tax in Guangdong. There is also the King of Chu who took in millions of refugees from the south. There was no case of starving to death and freezing to death this winter. Do you think such a King of Chu is not good enough?"

Chen Zizhuang's hometown is in Guangzhou. Of course, he knows the situation in Guangzhou and Dongguan. In recent years, the business around Guangzhou has been booming. Not to mention others, even his own family has earned tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Chen Zizhuang looked up at Feng Ruoshu and asked, "Aren't these all the achievements of the cabinet headed by his uncle? Why is it counted on the head of the King of Chu?"

"Yes, this is the result of the efforts of several people in our cabinet, but the King of Chu also made contributions. His Highness delegated all the rights to internal affairs to the cabinet, and he himself did not care about it. Jisheng, isn't this the real regime of the virtual king that our scholars hope for?"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Hongsan had such a great courage to delegate all internal affairs to the cabinet, which was a major event that Emperor Longwu had not done.

Chen Zizhuang thought about it and could not go back to Emperor Longwu of Fujian. Now the only one who has the strength in the country to fight against the Qing Dynasty is the King of Chu in Guangdong. However, he just scolded the King of Chu just now, but he really can't stand it if he wants to stay after the change.

Feng Ruoshu was a mature spirit. When he saw Chen Zizhuang's face hesitation, he knew that his heart was already moving, but he was just a step away. Feng Ruoshu used a color to a soldier behind him, and the soldier went out to report to Zhu Hongsan. As for what to do, it depends on Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hongsan, who was in the King of Chu's mansion, heard the situation at the post station and knew that Chen Zizhuang had the intention to surrender to him, but he just needed a step. This was very simple, wasn't it just for face? Just give it to him.

Zhu Hongsan called Zhu Bao, who was standing guard at the door, who was Zhu Hongyi's second son.

"Second, go to the backyard woodshed to find me a bundle of wood for burning firewood!" Zhu Bao agreed to go to the backyard to find it.

Zhu Hongsan made it a trick of carrying a thorn to apologize. Seeing Zhu Bao bringing firewood, he picked out a few unthorny ones, took off his dragon robe and shoes, put on only one pair of pants, tied the firewood behind him with a rope, and went to the post station to see Chen Zizhuang.

Chen Zizhuang was still engaged in ideological struggles. In theory, Zhu Hongsan is indeed much stronger than Fujian Longwu. But he was so loyal to Zhu Hongsan and could not come to Taiwan. Just when Chen Zizhuang was in a fierce struggle in his heart, Zhu Hongsan came.

Feng Ruoshu was stunned when he saw Zhu Hongsan dressing up like this. Unexpectedly, the King of Chu used all the tricks to apologize for Chen Zizhuang.

Zhu Hongsan entered the room and saw Chen Zizhuang sitting on a chair. Without saying a word, he stepped forward and knelt down and shouted: "My father-in-law, I was rude a few days ago. Today I came to ask my father-in-law to punish me!"
