Chapter 433

It seems that he has long thought out the next countermeasures. When he spoke, Liu De came right away, and it came naturally.

"That's the truth." Zhu Qizhen nodded when Liu De walked around. But then some questions came up, and he couldn't help saying, "in this way, would Zhongdan Gong like to? And how confident is Aiqing to persuade Beiming?"

In Zhu Qizhen's view, we can't really seal the king. What if Yang Chendong doesn't allow it? What's more, the important event of granting a king with a different surname is something that the Southern Ming Dynasty can't do under the critical situation. Are they willing to admit it when the northern Ming Dynasty doesn't lose? At least I changed myself. I'm afraid I won't agree. It's like that Yang Chendong is a loyal and courageous Duke. Up to now, there are still people who call him a loyal and courageous uncle among the ministers of the northern Ming Dynasty.

Liu De immediately stood up and put forward such suggestions. Naturally, these problems have long been thought about. When Zhu Qizhen asked, he smiled and said: "The emperor doesn't need to worry. Even though the emperor has promised this throne, if Zhongdan is not satisfied, once it is spread all over the world, I'm afraid everyone will rise to blame. Spitting Xingzi sometimes drowns people. Presumably, Zhongdan should know this truth very well. Will Beiming agree? Hehe, emperor, that's not what we need to consider Well, if they don't agree, you can talk to Zhongdan and let him deal with it. If... In short, the emperor is holy. "

If anything, Liu De didn't say it directly. But Zhu Qizhen had heard it. If the king was not granted in Beiming, Yang Chendong must be very angry. This is a good opportunity to alienate them. If not, a big fight between the two sides is also possible. At that time, he can really reap the benefits.

Thinking that once Yang Chendong and Beiming lose both, it will be an opportunity for the rise of Nanming. Then he said with great joy: "Liu Aiqing is worthy of being the humerus of the minister. Well, everything will act according to Aiqing's will, that is, Cao Jixiang, give me a purpose..."

I was still having a headache and wanted to seal a king with a different surname. This is selling my ancestors. Even if one day I become strong again and take everything back, who knows what will be recorded in history books, and will future generations scold me?

But after Liu De said this, a bad thing turned into a good thing. He didn't need to pay anything, so he solved the problem and set up a strong enemy for Beiming. He was very satisfied with such a clever plan.

Zhu Qizhen is satisfied, and several important officials can naturally leave freely.

Liu De walked among several people. It was obvious that Wang Zuo, the Minister of household, looked at him with disdain.

It is well known that Yang Chendong saved Wang Zuo's life on the battlefield. A while ago, Yang Chendong and Liu De had a quarrel over the application of the governor of Hangzhou, which is well known. Just from this aspect, they already dislike each other.

However, this is not the most important problem. The main thing is that Liu De's words today are clearly calculating Yang Chendong. Although there are only a few important ministers here, today's dialogue must be recorded in history books. Zhu Qizhen must be the first to tell the story, so as to prevent future generations from putting such calculations on themselves. In this way, Liu De calculates Yang Chendong's affairs Naturally, love will spread out soon. At that time, will Liu De be spared with his loyalty and courage?

That's why Wang Zuo looked at him with a trace of disdain. When he wanted to use Yang Chendong, he should use it well. He knew it with emotion and moved it with reason. He didn't worry that he didn't own it for the imperial court and didn't do his best for Nanming. After all, from Wang Zuo's eyes, Yang Chendong was still a courtier of Daming, but he just met mercenaries by coincidence.

But if it is calculated like this, it is another matter, and the consequences will be very serious.

Wang Zuo looked at Liu De with some complexity and even some disdain, but some people looked at him with gratitude, that is, Chen Xun, the Minister of civil affairs.

Just now, if Liu De had not spoken in time, he would have either left a handle in the history books and been criticized, or he would have been hated by the emperor. I don't know what kind of end he would have. Liu De's words saved his life at the critical time.

"Thank you, brother Liu," Chen Xun said with a grateful fist.

While he was talking, Xiao Kai, the Minister of punishment, and Jiang Yuan, the Minister of work, also came together.

Liu De is very good at being a man. Among the six books of history, he united three people, namely Chen Xun, Xiao Kai and Jiang Yuan. He originally wanted to bring the imperial censor Shang Yun into their camp. However, the position of imperial censor is too important and has the responsibility of supervising all officials. Such a position is doomed that he cannot participate in other people's camp. Otherwise, he will be suspected by the emperor and will be far from stepping down Even the punishment is not far away.

In other words, among the six, except Kuang Ye Shangshu of the Ministry of war and Wang Zuo Shangshu of the Ministry of household, the other four Shangshu have become a group. Coincidentally, these four Shangshu have no close relationship with Yang Chendong. On the contrary, because of Liu De, there is still some estrangement between them.

Everyone saw the scene that happened just now. Xiao Kai and Jiang Yuan saw the scene that Liu De spoke at a critical time to save Chen Xun. They admired Liu De's actions that were not afraid and did not remember his reputation. Now they come here to express their goodwill.

Liu De naturally noticed the two people's proximity. At present, he had a dispute in his heart. He said with a ha ha smile: "brother Chen, where do we speak, we are originally one. It can be said that one person honors everyone and one person damages everyone. This is what I should do originally."

"Yes, that's good." Xiao Kai and Jiang Yuan nodded their heads and expressed their appreciation. Because of this, the friendship between the four seems to be closer. It can be seen that with them, there are many difficulties for Yang Chendong to want to be king.

......

Mercenary barracks outside Gaozhou mansion.

Five days have passed since the Miao army passed here. At noon on that day, the cold front reconnaissance army came the news that 10000 Miao troops had returned. It is estimated that I will probably pass by Lengfeng barracks in the evening.

When the news came back, many people in Leng Feng's barracks were gearing up to show their skills. Now they just hope that the Miao army can launch hot headed attacks on mercenaries and give them a chance to show themselves.

As Yang Chendong expected, general Zhang Zeng, who led the team on the way back, has been considering whether to start with mercenaries.

Originally, he vowed to kill Leizhou mansion, thinking of breaking there and making great contributions. I never thought that when I really went there, I saw an empty city. Not only that, you can't see anything valuable in the city.

This is futile. This depressed Zhang Zeng, who finally got the job. Since the day of the incident, the Miao army has been sweeping all the way. It's like entering a deserted territory, but when it meets the enemy, it's like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. Why has it ever been like this time to work hard and mobilize the public, but there has been no harvest? I must have gone back like this. I'm afraid other colleagues will laugh at me.

"No, I can't go back like this." Zhang Zeng said in his heart. But if you want to get great achievements and return, it seems that you can only choose to fight against mercenaries.

"Hum, Zou Xiucai's words can't be believed. He was originally a Han and a common people in the Ming Dynasty. Who knows what he thought." before deciding to do it, Zhang once convinced himself in his heart, and then sent scouts to check the situation of the mercenary camp on the grounds of going back to report.

To say that Zhang Zeng is also careful, at least he knows to observe the situation before starting. The scouts sent by this newspaper passed the mercenary barracks and went to the base camp of the Miao army under Gaozhou Prefecture.

Originally, the defense of Lengfeng military camp has always been very rigorous. Usually, we can see soldiers from class to class patrolling and walking back. However, since the use of night to bury mines outside the military camp, it has naturally relaxed a lot. This time, in order to attract the enemy to attack, he deliberately loosened the outside and tightened the inside. But where outsiders can see, soldiers are very lazy, but in the depths of the barracks where no one can see, the training is still very strict.

In this way, the Miao scouts who seemed to pass by but actually explored the situation were fooled and reported the performance of the mercenary camp to Zhang Zeng.

When he heard that the mercenaries were so careless, Zhang Zeng looked very happy. He thought it was an opportunity for him to make great contributions. Then he went to the Miao army camp with his confidants, said that he wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack mercenaries, and listed his reasons, that is, mercenaries are reckless and careless, which is the time to eat and hurt them.

The trusted fast horse passed by the mercenary camp again. After observation, he found that the report of the scouts was correct. He went to the Miao army camp under the city, met the king Miao Jinlong and told his general's plan.

"Raid mercenary barracks?" Miao Jinlong, who was originally in the first place, suddenly came to the spirit when he heard the report from the visitor. When he repeated this sentence, he didn't forget to look at Zou Xiucai, the most educated person in the camp.

Zou de was listening. To say that he really has his own intelligence, when he heard the report from the scouts that general Zhang Zeng led his troops to Leizhou Prefecture and returned without success, he expected that the road to return would not be peaceful.

Now I heard the confidant sent back by Zhang Zeng say so, and I sighed in my heart.

Zou de will not believe that the so-called scouts say that the mercenary barracks are loose, the soldiers are lazy and have no morale.
