Chapter 258: Exchange of Interests
The most important thing is that Wu Zheng knew very well that there were too many factions within him and could not form a joint force. Fortunately, his orders were executed without fail, but once he failed, it would be a disaster and his foundation was too shallow.
This kind of compromise is not so much about resting from the enemy, but rather about self-cultivation and resting.
Wu Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "This matter is settled. Please tell the Qing court that our army is willing to cease the war."
After saying that, Wu Zheng left the table, leaving behind the noise behind him without caring about it.
A smile appeared on Wang Zhiren's lips. He thought for a while, then stood up and followed.
"Lin'an Bo, are you unwilling to accept it?" Wang Zhiren rushed to a few steps behind Wu Zheng.
Wu Zheng knew that Wang Zhiren was following, but there were many people outside, and Wu Zheng himself had some things to discuss with Wang Zhiren in private, so he brought Wang Zhiren into the inner palace.
Wu Zheng turned around and smiled, turned around and stepped into a side room.
The king's will understand and followed closely.
As soon as he entered, Wang Zhiren immediately expressed his position, "Wu Zheng, you can rest assured that I have no intention of opposing you. Also, the Qing Dynasty sent an envoy not to this invitation. With the merits established by me in this battle, unless Dorgon was willing to give way, there would be no suitable position to accommodate me."
Wu Zheng understood Wang Zhiren's meaning, and it was indeed not an exaggeration to use Wang Zhiren to conquer the title of Yingtian Prefecture with Wang Zhiren.
The Qing court had not had enough hatred for him, so it was inappropriate to recruit Wang Zhiren. Moreover, the greatest military power of Shaoxing Prefecture is controlled by itself. If the Qing court wants to recruit him, it should also recruit him. After all, he is younger and more powerful, right?
Wu Zheng reached out and pointed out: "Duke Xingguo is too worried. Wu Zheng has no doubt about Duke Xingguo's intentions. Come, please sit down!"
Wang Zhiren was not polite and stepped forward and sat in the main seat.
"Wu Zheng, I actually guessed that you have something to say." Wang Zhiren smiled strangely.
Wu Zheng's face remained unchanged and asked with a smile: "Oh? Then Duke Xingguo might as well talk, what do I have to discuss with Duke?"
Wang Zhiren glanced at Wu Zheng and slowly uttered five words: "Shaoxing Prefecture, the State of Responsible."
Wu Zheng's face turned solemn, Wang Zhiren was indeed experienced and he had guessed it before he could speak.
Wang Zhiren sighed casually and said, "Actually, you don't have to say that I want to find you too. There is no third person here, so I will say it clearly. Given that Chengzu's strict orders and the royal family are respectful since childhood, but they are not skilled, they are not enough to lead the world's Ming people to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Although Princess Changping is smart and caring about the Ming Dynasty, you insist on supporting it, but after all, she is a woman and does not understand military and political affairs. I have no objection to support her. But now Yingtian Mansion is restoration, this is the best time to command the world. With Princess Changping and a woman, it may be difficult to convince the hearts of the world. Do you agree?"
Wu Zheng looked straight at Wang Zhiren and asked for a long time: "Who is suitable for Duke Xingguo's opinion?"
Wang Zhiren's eyes shrank and he asked, "Do you have someone to choose?"
Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "I still think it is appropriate to supervise the country by Princess Changping."
Wang Zhiren was stunned. He was very surprised. He thought that his heartfelt words could lead to Wu Zheng's thoughts. Even if Wu Zheng spoke wildly at this time and said that he was suitable, Wang Zhiren would not be as surprised as he is now.
After a while of a moment, Wang Zhiren said, "Do you want to support Princess Changping ascend the throne?"
Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "I said in Shaoxing Prefecture that Princess Changping can supervise the country or ascend the throne, but I think that princess is suitable for supervising the country and not for being an emperor."
Wang Zhiren was even more puzzled, "What do you mean? You must know that if you restore Yingtian Mansion and support the emperor, you will be so greedy for the achievements of heaven, even if someone spends his whole life, you will not be able to reach it. Wouldn't you, you don't want to support the emperor? Oh my God!"
Wang Zhiren exclaimed, "You don't want Princess Changping to supervise the country in Yingtian Prefecture, right?"
Wu Zhengqing raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "What's wrong?"
"You... Wu Zheng, do you know that if you support an emperor, Yingtian Mansion will be the capital, and all power and righteousness will be in your hands?"
Wu Zheng naturally understood this. Even if he wanted to support Princess Changping as the empress at this time, as long as he gave Wang Zhiren enough bargaining chips to him, Wang Zhiren would agree. Otherwise, Wang Zhiren would definitely not come with him and said this at the beginning.
As long as Wang Zhiren stands on his side, no one in the entire Shaoxing Prefecture court can compete with him.
Even if Qian Sule and everyone else stand on the opposite side, it will be useless.
In this world, strength determines everything.
But Wu Zheng didn't think so, he had his plans.
Wu Zheng looked at Wang Zhiren strangely and said, "Could Xingguo Duke intend to win the title?"
Wang Zhiren opened his mouth wide and looked at Wu Zheng in surprise. After a while, he repeatedly denied: "Don't make such a joke. Even if I have the courage to do this, I will not dare to steal the country."
Wu Zheng immediately responded, "Okay! Since Duke Xingguo has no such heart and Wu Zheng has no such heart, why bother with whom to take charge of the world? Now Princess Changping is very popular with the subjects of the court and the country, so why can't she continue to supervise the country?"
Wang Zhiren said anxiously: "Assessing the throne, he ordered the world in the name of the emperor and commanding the world in the name of the country. What a huge difference between this? Don't you understand the reason for the dirty filth between Shaoxing Prefecture and Fujian Longwu?"
Wu Zheng naturally knew, but he still insisted: "Most half of the world is still in the hands of Jianlu. How to support the new emperor now will create a pattern of the two emperors of the north and the south? It will inevitably lead to disputes and even mutual conquests in the future. Does Duke Xingguo want to see such compatriots who cannot bear to say that they want to be disabled?"
Wang Zhiren said with a grin: "Do you want to support Fujian Longwu?"
Wu Zheng yelled and shook his head and said, "This matter is not urgent. It is not too late to discuss this matter when the Tartars are expelled."
Looking at Wu Zheng's expression that was a little strange, Wang Zhiren suddenly felt aroused in his heart, "Do you want to give a reward to the world with the position of emperor, lure all the princes and princes against the Qing Dynasty?"
Wu Zheng smiled mysteriously, "Duke Xingguo should understand this way, that's fine."
"You...ah, I'm really speechless. Such a good opportunity will make you miss it in vain. Do you know that such a good opportunity will be too late for you to regret it if you miss it."
Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Wu Zheng is young, and there will be a chance in the future. But this time I did feel wronged Duke Xingguo."
This is true. If the two of them discuss the proper support in private today, no matter who the supporter is, they will never be able to escape the merits of the dragon. At least they can be awarded the title of Grand Tutor, Grand Tutor, etc., and they may even be named King of the different surname.
