Zhu Cihong was so angry that he trembled all over, and pointed at Wu Zheng speechless.

But he already understood in his heart that Wu Zheng obviously did it on purpose, otherwise it wouldn't be so abnormal.

Everyone, except Qian Qianyi, saw this abnormality.

Qian Sule slowly stepped forward, blocked in front of Wu Zheng, and bowed to Zhu Cihong and said: "Zhenguo Gong is coming from afar, I am afraid that there is a big event to play alone with His Majesty, please retreat outside the hall and wait." ”

Chen Zilong and Wang Yi immediately bowed down and said, "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”

Zhu Cihong pursed his lips and was silent for a long time before waving his hand vigorously.

The ministers came out silently, and the palace guards who came in carried Qian Qianyi, who was crying out in grief, and retreated.

The temple was finally quiet.

Zhu Cihong and Wu Zheng looked at each other up and down.

"Zhenguo Gong is so majestic!"

"Your Majesty is magnanimous."

"I'm not as magnanimous as Zhen Guogong thought." Zhu Cihong said in a deep voice, "Before I change my mind, Zhenguo Gong still explains why he is so rampant!" ”

"The minister just wants to see how magnanimous His Majesty can go."

Zhu Cihong's eyes shrank, "That's it?" ”

"That's it!"

Zhu Cihong smiled, "You shouldn't come." ”

"I know."

"But you're still here."

"Yes."

"You think I won't dare kill you?"

"Yes."

Zhu Cihong's face froze, "It seems that you really have something to rely on." But in my opinion, your biggest reliance is only the four guards under your command, but the four guards can't save the near fire, even if I kill you now, they can't come to save you in time. ”

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is wrong. The minister does not rely on the Siwei Northern Expeditionary Army, but Your Majesty! ”

"What do you mean?" Zhu Cihong was really surprised.

"If Your Majesty is not the emperor, the minister will not dare to come alone." Wu Zheng said calmly, "It is precisely because you are the emperor and the world is yours that Your Majesty does not dare to kill the ministers." ”

Zhu Cihong was a little dizzy, and he looked at Wu Zheng with a frown.

Wu Zheng sighed lightly and said: "The Qing army is about to attack, it is easy for Your Majesty to kill the ministers, but after killing the ministers, you have to face the enemy on both sides. ”

Zhu Cihong understood, and he shouted: "You dare to threaten me? ”

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "The minister doesn't dare." The minister had no intention of coming alone to take risks just to threaten His Majesty. ”

Zhu Cihong eased his anger and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Pushing the gold mountain and pouring the jade pillar, Wu Zheng suddenly lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please give the Jiangbei soldiers' families a way to live!" ”

Zhu Cihong was stunned, he looked at Wu Zheng who was kneeling in front of him and said: "I am confident that I have not done anything wrong, they are the family members of the rebels, and the rebels have surrendered, it is true, you ...... You plead with me for their family? ”

Wu Zhengzheng said solemnly: "No." They are not rebels, they have been fighting bloodily for the country and the Qing army. ”

"I don't believe it!" Zhu Cihong said coldly, "I know, there are your people in the rebels, including Taifu's only son, and a person named Shen Zhiyuan...... You're begging for their lives. ”

"Hey......." Wu Zheng sighed and told Zhu Cihong about the things before and after.

Zhu Cihong was shocked at first, and then his face changed several times, and he said coldly: "In this way, these things are all related to you. I understand, the sailors used to raise the banner to support you, and now they are all loyal to you, not me! ”

Wu Zheng was stunned.

Zhu Cihong's way of understanding was beyond his expectations.

"I can be trusted by their deceit, but I cannot be trusted that it is I who are loyal to them. Therefore, I cannot forgive their families. ”

Wu Zheng's face began to freeze, he slowly got up, looked at Zhu Cihong and said: "This is your world, if you think that killing them and me can make your country stable, you might as well do it now." But there is one sentence that I can tell you clearly, I am dead with them, the end of the Yixing Dynasty is just around the corner, and I am waiting for you under the spring. ”

Zhu Cihong was unmoved, he said: "In my opinion, what you and the Tartars want is my country, you and the Tartars are no different!" ”

Wu Zheng said angrily: "How can it be different? The Tartars are to enslave our people, and I, even if I want to take the world, will I not reduce the Han people in the world to slavery. ”

Zhu Cihong was a little moved, but he still said: "Since we are doomed, what do the people of the world have to do with me?" ”

Wu Zheng was dumbfounded, stunned for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I came by mistake, I thought that even if you were faint, at least there was a trace of compassion for the people of the world that the Zhu family had enjoyed the country for three hundred years." I thought that at least you would be as considerate of your people as your father was...... Well, I'm out of words, you can order me and the soldiers' families to be killed. ”

Zhu Cihong looked at Wu Zheng quietly, and Wu Zheng slowly closed his eyes.

"How are you going to save it? What do you want me to do? ”

Wu Zheng opened his eyes in an instant and asked in surprise, "Have you changed your mind?" ”

Zhu Cihong replied: "You have a right saying, I am the lord of the world, and I must always take care of my people...... Say, what do you want me to do? But I must remind you that once I issue an order to pardon them, the Qing court will see through the fraudulent surrender of the Jiangbei rebels. ”

Wu Zheng was overjoyed and nodded, "Your Majesty is right. Therefore, the minister came here to ask His Majesty to secretly contact a few credible ministers, so that they could write a letter in the name of benevolence and righteousness to advise Your Majesty not to even the families of the rebels, and to issue an amnesty. This is in the way of the saints, so that His Majesty may issue a decree of pardon of capital sins and exile all the families of the prisoners. As for the previous minister's beating of Qian Qianyi in the palace, it was also out of secrecy...... Qian Qianyi is the first assistant after all, but the minister doesn't trust him, and if he doesn't do this, he can't avoid him...... This matter is too big to allow a single rumor to leak, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me. ”

Zhu Cihong didn't dwell on this matter, he frowned and asked: "I count Jinhua and Ningbo, only the land of twelve prefectures, where will I be exiled?" ”

Wu Zheng said: "The ministers want to build a new city in Wusong, but there is a shortage of manpower, and Your Majesty can exile them to Wusong in the name of labor to pay for their crimes." ”

Zhu Cihong glanced at Wu Zheng strangely, "Build a new city, you are so generous." ”

Wu Zheng said: "It is said that it is a new city, but in fact, it is just to move the general's mansion north to Wusong, and the minister can't even raise the money to build the city wall." ”

"You dare to move north without a city wall?"

"The minister is just to boost morale."

Zhu Cihong had no intention of dwelling on this matter, he said: "In the end, you are just trying to buy people's hearts. ”

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Yes, I really want to win people's hearts." But is it wrong? ”

Zhu Cihong was stunned, and Wu Zheng's calmness was beyond his expectations.

This kind of unadorned, almost real villain's temperament really caught Zhu Cihong a little off guard.

yes, is that wrong?

Zhu Cihong frowned with some annoyance: "But why do I want to help you win people's hearts? ”

It's like a bit of a gamble.
