Shang Zhixin, who was over teenager, stood on the side of the boat, looking worriedly in front of him) (Hai, he is Shang Kexi's eldest son and the prince of Zhennan. This time, Shang Kexi wanted to contact the Ming army on Qiongzhou Island, but he dared not take action. After all, once the Qing Dynasty discovered it, it would be a serious crime of chasing the house and extermination of the clan. He had to deal with it personally.

The waves kept beating the bottom of the boat, and the wooden bottom was clattering. Because of the secret of this operation, Shang Zhixin only pretended to be a merchant and brought dozens of confidants. However, he still had some knowledge and knew that the trip would be safe and sound. His father's instructor was vivid in his mind that day. Shang Zhixin was also a smart person. He could not understand the situation of the Shang family at that time, but after being pointed out by Shang Kexi, he immediately smelled a trace of crisis.

It is better to plan ahead and leave more ways for yourself. The cunning rabbit still has three holes. It is not possible that Oboi will seriously cut off the vassals and tear off his face. At least there is a foreign aid from the Ming Dynasty in Guangdong. Shang Zhixin felt the importance of this trip, so he became even more concerned and rushed to Guangzhou without stopping, gathered more than a dozen confidants, prepared some gifts overnight, and found a sea boat to go out to sea.

On the sea level, a black shadow suddenly appeared in Shang Zhixin's eyes. Shang Zhixin's confidence shrank. This was the area across the sea from Guangdong and Qiongzhou. Since the Qing Dynasty issued a ban on the sea and burned down all coastal fishing villages, it was common sense that there would never be any ships here. Several confidants on the deck obviously also found the shadow of the ship near, and some people shouted: "The prince, it is probably a warship of the Ming Dynasty."

Shang Zhixin nodded. What he was looking for was the Ming Dynasty's navy. Now that the Ming Dynasty's warship was in front of him, he became a little scared. After calming down, Shang Zhixin gave an order to his confidant: "Download the sails, no provocation is allowed."

A moment later, the giant Ming warship finally approached Shang Zhixin's "small" sea ship. More than a dozen Ming soldiers were hung off the deck of the sea ship with baskets. A leader in the head held the short turtle vigilantly. The Ming army behind him surrounded him. The leader looked around and shouted with a majestic volume: "Who is the ship owner?"

"That's right." Shang Zhixin came forward with reassurance, still feeling a little uneasy.

Seeing Shang Zhixin's appearance as a noble young man, Shi Chang couldn't help but relax his vigilance and asked, "Where are you from? Are there cargo on the ship?"

Shang Zhixin said: "I am the prince of Zhennan. At the order of his father, he came to give some gifts to the Qiongzhou naval commander." Shang Zhixin said, while looking at Shi Chang nervously, for fear that he would commit a crime.

"King of Zhennan?" Shi Chang murmured, and then his face changed: "Is it still joyful?"

"It's my father."

"Come on. Please invite this princess to the ship. Let some sailors come down and take over the ship for the time being." Shi Longdi's fingers had already pulled the trigger of the short gun and shouted loudly.

Shang Zhixin did not resist. With these Ming troops leading the way, he felt much more relaxed. He winked at the distant confidant. The group of people arrested the Ming soldiers and hung the baskets. Then they were hung to the deck of the warship. Then they hung the team of Ming soldiers. The chief ordered the soldiers on the deck to stare here and hurried into the cabin.

After about a moment, Nash brought an officer out. The officer looked at Shang Zhixin with a knife hilt on his waist. Then he said, "Are you Shang Zhixin?"

Shang Zhixin nodded.

"But what certificate is there?" The officer raised his thick eyebrows. Obviously, he still didn't believe it.

Shang Zhixin said: "Sir, who dares to pretend to be Shang Zhixin?"

The officer pondered for a while and was really tired of living his life as a son who pretended to be a traitor in front of the Ming army. Ninety-nine percent of the person was real. So he continued to ask: "What are you doing in sea? What's the matter with General Liu?"

Shang Zhixin said: "I came to the entrusted by my father and came to give General Liu a generous gift, and told me about it in important matters."

The officer nodded: "Since that's the case, I'll let you down.

"He waved, and dozens of Ming soldiers quickly took Shang Zhixin and a dozen confidants to the bottom cabin.

This warship was originally going to harass the coast of Guangdong, but now that I have encountered such a thing, the captain Qianhu could only order the warship to turn the rudder and return to sail. The warship had been bumping in the sea for a day and finally arrived at Haikou Port. Haikou Port is a temporary port, and many facilities are very old. Near the harbor, a new port is being established. The warship is parked at the wharf, and Shang Zhixin was lifted out of the bottom of the bilge. After getting off the wharf, Shang Zhixin was stuffed into a carriage.

…

Half an hour later, Shang Zhixin finally saw Liu Guoxuan. Liu Guoxuan had a calm face, held his chin, and sat high on the chair. At his lower head, a Jinyiwei official in Jinyiwei suit. Liu Guoxuan was not a fool. The son of a traitor came to find him and did not invite the Jinyiwei official in the resident to come to listen. He was so itchy that he was afraid that the ministers in the court would not impeach him.

"Are you Shang Zhixin?" Liu Guoxuan put on an stance and tried to judge the criminal.

"That's right." Shang Zhixin nodded.

"Are you not afraid of death if you have the courage to come to see me?"

Sutra of faith

Next is to give some gifts to the general. My father was originally a Mingchen, but he was helpless | I was very upset, hey...

Liu Guoxuan looked at the Jinyiwei official, and both of them were secretly shocked. The Jinyiwei official was the chief in charge of spying information on the southeast coast. He also felt that it was too abrupt. There was no news in Guangzhou. Could this father and son of the Shang family really plan to surrender? No, he had to send some more people to Guangzhou to spy, and he must find out the truth.

"Sir, I have prepared a ship of gifts, but I have been temporarily detained by Ming Ship." Shang Zhixin expressed his sincerity.

Liu Guoxuan nodded and said, "Let's ignore these for now. What do you mean is that Shang Kexi wants to surrender to my Ming Dynasty?"

This sentence was asked a little more deeply. Shang Zhixin said: "This is not something my father can decide. Everything depends on the meaning of His Majesty Xinshi." Shang Zhixin kicked the ball back to Liu Guoxuan in one sentence. He neither gave the person a clear guide, and expressed his willingness to surrender. He also revealed that if Zhu Jun was willing, the Shang family could change their flag at any time. Of course, there is another detail issue that has not been agreed upon, that is, the treatment of the Shang family. For the Shang family, reducing the Qing Dynasty is also a reduction, and Shunming is also a reduction. As long as you offer a starting price, nothing is a problem.

Liu Guoxuan was really unaware of his decision. He could not do such a major matter, and Shang Kexi was capricious. Who knew that it was a real and false surrender. Therefore, he looked at the officer of the Jinyiwei, and the officer was confused and unable to make up his decision. Liu Guoxuan had to smile helplessly and said to Shang Zhixin: "Xu Tu discusses this matter again. The young master comes far away, but for some days in Haikou, you and I are each the masters, but I still have to do the friendship of this landlord."

Liu Guoxuan did not say anything. His idea was to keep this person while keeping him, and immediately write to Haidu, and then make a decision after the emperor sanctions.

Shang Zhixin said: "Thank you for your kindness. I am just the prince of Zhennan. If you suddenly disappear, you will inevitably be suspicious. After all, this is not something that can be achieved overnight. Shang must return to Guangzhou first. If Lord Liu gets the correct letter, he can come to Guangzhou at any time. However, this matter is shameful after all, and I hope Lord Liu will be more cautious."

Liu Guoxuan wandered for a while. If he forced this prince to stay in Qiongzhou, it would not be of much use. Instead, he would push Shang Kexi to the side of the Qing Dynasty. It would be better to put it back and maybe he could handle a one-time deal. So he said, "Okay, you can stay for a few days first, and I will protect you back to the flight in a few days."

After relocating Shang Zhixin, Liu Guoxuan immediately called the Literature Office and wrote a simple memorial, which made people rushed to Haidu.

After more than ten days, the secret memorial was spread into Zhu Jun's hands. Zhu Jun looked at the incredible secret memorial, closed it and placed it on the imperial desk. Beside him was Yang Side, who was on duty in the cabinet. Yang Side and Zhu Jun had a tacit understanding. They quickly picked up the secret memorial memorial on the table for a while, and pondered: "The emperor thinks, is this really awesome or a fake surrender?"

Zhu Jun narrowed his eyes and nodded without comment. The little eunuch who was serving him next to him served the fragrant tea. Zhu Jun opened the cover and blew the tea foam, then took a sip and said, "It should be true, otherwise Shang Kexi would not send his son out. Shang Kexi is a cunning and fickle person. If he could participate in the Qing Dynasty, he would naturally be able to rebel in the face of the battle and take my Ming Dynasty back."

Yang Side clammed with his eyebrows and remained silent. Zhu Jun raised his eyes and said, "Why didn't Yang Aiqing speak?"

Yang Sidedao: "Emperor, I'm thinking that Shang Kexi is now the King of Zhennan in the Qing Dynasty and is at its highest position. Why do you have to submit to the Ming Dynasty? There must be an allusion in this. If the emperor cannot observe clearly, he may really be deceived by this old fox. Once it is a false surrender, then...

Yang Side did not continue to say that the consequences of false decline were very serious.

Zhu Jun understood history, so he said: "The Qing court has been causing a lot of controversy over the withdrawal of the Three Feudals. In the tenth year of Shunzhi, a minister had already written a letter to abolish the Three Feudals. Originally, Wu Sangui and other three Feudals were not afraid of the Qing court turning against each other. After all, they were holding half of the southeast, southwest and southwest, and there were 100,000 elite soldiers. Even if the Qing court wanted to withdraw, they would probably not be able to do so. But now that Wu Sangui, the King of Pingxi, died in battle, the Three Feudals was equivalent to breaking an arm and losing the leader. If the Qing court sacked the Three Feudals at this moment, there would be no need to worry about Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong. After all, their strength was slightly weak, and even if they wanted to resist, they would sooner or later be wiped out by the Eight Banners."

Zhu Jun paused: "If Shang Kexi wants to preserve the vassal state and the throne, he must find a way out before the Qing court officially withdraws the vassal state, otherwise it will only be a matter of time before the vassal state is withdrawn. Therefore, they found me."

After listening to Zhu Jun's analysis, Yang Side also felt it made sense, so he asked: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
