When he returned to Zhongzuo City, Chen Kai couldn't quite remember clearly how he left Shenqianwo. However, the fierce conflict did not break out again, and vaguely, he remembered in his mind that he seemed to reply to something like "taught", and deduced that there were still many things to deal with in the city, and left.

Zheng Hongkui's choice can be said to be reasonable and unexpected. Chen Kai asked himself that his rhetoric was enough to reverse the situation in terms of persuasion, but Zheng Hongkui's stubbornness, or his strong sense of responsibility to the family, was really beyond Chen Kai's imagination.

There was no danger on the road, the Qing cavalry was still under surveillance, Chen Kai returned to the city, only officially announced the arrival of reinforcements, and locked himself in the official room.

There was already a slight whisper outside, as if they were rejoicing at the arrival of reinforcements. Outside, it seems that there are more cheers outside the courtyard, and it seems that the news has spread in the city of Zhongzuo, and the soldiers and civilians in the city can finally breathe a sigh of relief for the rest of their lives.

The arrival of reinforcements meant that the fighting was coming to an end. Everyone can understand this truth, and even many of them are still imagining that the Zheng family's fleet would blockade Xiamen Island, and then land on the island to attack and kill, leaving all the Qing troops on this island, thinking that future generations would learn from it.

"I still have to figure out a way."

Chen Kai doesn't plan to give up, and he has never been someone who gives up so easily. However, after thinking about it, it is still difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

"Next, it probably comes down to luck."

Since the last time he was in Guangzhou, it rained heavily in the process of burning the city, and Chen Kai began to doubt his luck. Similar things have not happened before, such as the appearance of the staff of the Guangdong governor Yamen in Chaozhou, and the almost lost in Pantuoling, in fact, it is normal, after all, people are not as good as heaven, and the ancestors can see it. But once you start to have doubts, this similar, originally completely inconspicuous small details are one after another I don't know where to jump out, and I just want to pestle in front of me, and I can't do it without looking at it.

Chen Kai has been a little shy about this word, but now he believes more in careful planning and improvisation. But at this point, it is no longer possible to solve it by relying on IQ and ability.

Chen Kai was still carefully calculating the time in the official room, and after about two hours, a small official outside knocked on the door and brought a disciple of Zeng Ying, who seemed to be called Ruan Minxi, who came to report the news.

"Tell Chen Daotai that the family teacher has become ill from hard work, and I am afraid it will be difficult to get out of bed in the near future."

It is not surprising that the 71-year-old man, who has been doing his best for more than ten days, will feel unwell. When Chen Kai heard this, he didn't care about any calculations, so he simply asked Ruan Minxi to lead the way, and called a few Lang Zhong and some good tonics in the city, and went straight to Zeng's house.

The people of the Zeng family had obviously expected that Chen Kai would make a special trip to come, and they had already made preparations. After not much greetings, Chen Kai inquired about his condition and went inside to visit.

Compared with the previous few days, Zeng Ying's face was already a little haggard, lying on the bed, her eyelids drooping weakly, but the sound of breathing was heavy, but it always made people feel a little hard to be like this, revealing a sense of exhaustion.

"Old cabinet, it's good to live and recuperate, and the court still needs an experienced old courtier like you to help."

Raising her eyelids with great effort, Zeng Ying saw that it was Chen Kai who came, but she also felt a little relieved. Next, Zeng Ying didn't seem to plan to say any more polite words, but just asked Chen Kai how his trip was, and got an unexpected answer, so he waved his family and servants out.

"It's done, you son-in-law, hey...... I remember that back then, Liu Xiang attacked Guangdong, and Governor Zou thought that Liu Xiang was the old department of the Taishi and refused to let him enter Guangdong. Later, the old man was framed for castration, and the Taishi accepted it on his behalf, which can be regarded as repaying this work...... Speaking of which, the two of us have a good relationship, and there are many places to help each other in official affairs. But when the first emperor entered Fujian and promoted the old man to the cabinet, he was still restrained by the Taishi and couldn't do anything......"

“…… Those people in the Zheng family have always only cared about their own interests, even their personal interests. In the old man's opinion, the surname of the country is an outlier...... Your Taishan, I'm afraid that you take into account the interests of the family more than the Taishi, so the old man will say that more this morning, just hoping that you can deal with it. ”

In the early years, it was secret, and now it is speculated that Zeng Ying came one by one, tired in her words, and she could feel it when she smelled it. Speaking of which, Emperor Yongli also sent Jin Zengying as the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian to lead the Ming army of the two provinces to fight, but this old man knows very well that all the Ming armies in Zhejiang obey the Lu King Zhu Yihai as the emperor and Ming orthodoxy, and the powerful Ming army in Fujian is controlled by the Zheng family. If it weren't for Chen Kai, he would have hanged himself when the Qing army entered the unguarded Zhongzuo City, and he would have died with his full name. Now that there is a better result, I just think it is a peach in return, so I will mention a few more sentences with Chen Kai.

“…… Actually, you are a national soldier, a person who can really do things honestly, which is completely different from them. Seeing you, it's like watching Sun Kaiyang and Xu Zixian do things back then, which makes people feel that youth is not something that only young people can do......"

Sun Kaiyang is Sun Chengzong, and Xu Zixian is Xu Guangqi, although the owners of these two names have not been the first assistant of the cabinet, but they are still thunderous in the political arena of the late Ming Dynasty.

"The old cabinet has a good reputation, Kai is just a child, and he hasn't even tried it as a child, how dare he expect anything to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister."

These words are just humble words, because Chen Kai knows that in the future, there will be a guy who is not even a child and will achieve the throne of the first and auxiliary minister of the Ming Court. However, this incident happened many years later, but at this moment, Zeng Ying still has great confidence in Chen Kai.

"Many people say that only Shu Jishi can enter the cabinet, so what are Li Xian and Zhang Zhang? In this world now, there are many ministers who are not from the Ji Shi, and the old man is an example. Actually, you are a smart person, and you will not dwell on this. With your talent, Daming Zhongxing, it is not difficult to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and this will not become an obstacle. But remember, don't let those guys hold you back, let go of your hands and feet, and there will be a future! ”

Zeng Ying's advice seemed to be a dying gift, and Chen Kai was taught. It's just that when he left, looking at the increasingly yellow sky, he just secretly said in his heart, "What I want, you don't understand" and set off to return to the office.

When he returned to the official room, it was already time for dinner, Chen Kai let go of his mind and was about to eat more, but unexpectedly, the first bite had not yet entered his mouth, but the luck he had been waiting for for a long time had arrived.
