Three hundred and eighty fifth chapter tit for tat (three)

Qian Sule smiled bitterly and said, "Duke Xingguo, you are also an important official of the previous dynasty. How can you join him and ignore the court?"

Wang Zhiren said seriously: "Mr. Qian said this. In any case, Wu Zheng made great contributions to the court when he restored the Nine Palaces. Although he was indeed more arrogant and domineering, there was no evidence of rebellion in the hands of the two, and there was no real behavior to pursue. The two judged Wu Zheng only by speculation to do the old things in Wang Mang, which is too arbitrary?"

Chen Zilong said angrily: "Since Duke Xingguo has already stood on Wu Zheng's side, it is useless to say more. Either kill or release it. What is the purpose of you imprisoning us like this?"

Wang Zhiren said coldly: "Mr. Wozi is accusing me of being accused of being abducted?"

This problem is serious. Wang Zhiren was an old minister of the previous dynasty and the Duke of the State when King Lu was supervising the State. Now Changping still holds the position of Duke of the State. Now he cooperates with Wu to make an important contribution to the restoration of Nanjing City. If it is truly discussed, it is not an exaggeration to be named the king.

Although there was a precedent in the Qing Dynasty before, it was not long, only two or three months ago, and he did not turn against the Ming army.

To be honest, Qian Sule still has to accept the help of Wang Zhiren.

Therefore, Wang Zhiren caught Chen Zilong's grammatical problem and turned against him, making Chen Zilong really dare not fight back like he was against Wu Zheng.

Qian Sule quickly smoothed out the situation, "Duke Xingguo misunderstood. Everyone knows the loyalty and righteousness of the Duke... Mr. Wozi's meaning is actually because he is afraid that Duke Xingguo will be deceived by Wu Zheng and be deceived by him..."

"No need." Wang Zhiren interrupted without hesitation, "I am not a three-year-old child. There are not many people in this world who can deceive me."

Qian Sule was so angry that he couldn't speak.

The so-called evil people are beaten by evil people, and this is a good thing for them to make sense.

Seeing that Wu Zheng had gone away, Wang Zhiren stopped stopping the two of them, but sat down and drank it himself.

By the way, you just drink. Wang Zhiren kept "smacking" his lips and repeatedly praised "good wine".

It is said that wine is the inspiration and courage of famous scholars. In this era, who has claimed to be famous scholars has not ordered the alcohol content yet?

Everyone who drinks knows that alcoholism is achieved through practice.

Now that Wu Zheng is gone, Chen Zilong's wine worm has been aroused. He whispered his throat and didn't even want his face. He rushed forward and snatched the wine jar from Wang Zhiren.

Even the step of pouring wine was saved. I directly raised my head to my mouth and took a few sips of it.

Qian Sule was older and more polite. He looked at Chen Zilong quietly to satisfy his cravings, then reached out to take the wine jar from Chen Zilong and poured a cup in the empty cup on the other side.

He took a deep breath into the wine and praised: "Duke Xingguo said nothing wrong, this must be aged for more than thirty years."

Wang Zhiren looked at the two of them in shock, and after a while he pointed at them with his fingers, cursing with a smile: "Two old guys... these are Wu Zheng's wine, do you drink it too?"

Chen Zilong held the jar and sipped it again: "How can the rioters enjoy such a good wine alone? He is not worthy!"

Wang Zhiren was really angry now, and he said sternly: "Mr. Wozi, don't be shameless! Do you think Wu Zheng is really afraid of you? Although this public urged him to not harm you, there are so many talented people in the world. It's really not that the sky will fall without two of you. Not to mention anything else, just say that the court really did not have any support for this Northern Expedition of Wu Zheng, but instead kept dragging his back, and Yingtian Mansion was still restored. What does this mean? It means that without you, the great cause of anti-Qing and restoration of Ming Dynasty could be accomplished, and even better than when you were there!"

Qian and Chen looked at each other.

Wang Zhiren said: "I advise you to stop at the right time. If you don't say anything else, at least the top priority is to resist the Qing Dynasty. As Wu Zheng said, seek common ground while reserving differences, and put any dissent after reorganizing the country, then sit down and talk calmly. Even if the swords and weapons are against each other, at least the world is still the Han people. I agree with this, and I don't know what you mean by you?"

Chen Zilong sneered and said, "If the reputation is not right, the words will not be smooth. Wu Zheng wants to support Princess Changping, which will only make people laugh at the world. If Duke Xingguo wants to persuade us and the other two to shake hands with Wu Zheng, it is not impossible. As long as Wu Zheng agrees to support His Royal Highness Lu ascend the throne, Chen will now go and apologize to him. Even if Chen kneels down and apologizes, he will never refuse."

Wang Zhiren shook his head helplessly, and he thought to himself, Wu Zheng, this persuading literati to change his mind is much more tiring than killing enemies on the battlefield. The words you teach don’t seem to work.

However, Wang Zhiren continued to say in advance: "Mr. Wozi said a little too much. Princess Changping is the daughter of the late emperor. How could he make people laugh at the world? Besides, Wu Zheng did not mean to support Princess Changping as emperor. I'm afraid you're trying to make things wrong?"

Chen Zilong was stunned and turned to look at Qian Sule.

Qian Sule shook his head and said, "Although he didn't say anything, who can guarantee that after completing his great cause, His Royal Highness the Princess will not be supported by Wu Zheng to become emperor? How can he prevent Wu Zheng from usurping the throne and stealing the country?"

Wang Zhiren cursed in his heart, snatched the wine jar from Chen Zilong and poured it into the glass. Only then did he realize that Chen Zilong and Qian Sule were not idle when they spoke, and drank all the jar of wine.

Wang Zhiren slapped the wine jar on the table in annoyance and retorted to Qian Sule: "Talk you are still Wu Zheng's Taishan. How can you be afraid of Wu Zheng? Why should you betroth your daughter to him?"

Qian Sule said righteously: "Qian's move is nothing more than for the court and the world. This heart is only for the heavenly way."

Wang Zhiren shook his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I believe you. But I have said that Wu Zheng promised in front of me that at least he did not intend to support Princess Changping ascend the throne before driving Jianlu out of the Central Plains. Why? Do you both of you even believe me?"

At this time, Chen Zilong suddenly asked: "Zhao Duke Xingguo's intention, Wu Zheng wanted to let Princess Changping take charge of national affairs as a supervisor?"

Wang Zhiren picked up the corner of his mouth, "What's wrong?"

"Absurd." Chen Zilong flatly refused, "Now the court has returned to Nanjing, and it is time to support the new king and command the world. It is still acceptable to govern the country in the short term. After a long time, it is not justified and unpleasant. How can you obey the ministers and how can you obey the hearts of the people in the world?"

Wang Zhiren rolled his eyes and said, "What's wrong? Are you waiting for it today and staying in Nanjing City?"

In fact, Wang Zhiren was not happy about this matter, but Wu Zheng's words also make sense. If you have a rank, you may be able to better balance the power of the court.
