For Liu Ruyi, this is a very sensitive issue, after all, she is still Qian Qianyi's favorite concubine, how can she talk about other men, but she is such a dare to love and hate: "I came here this time to ask Miss Lizhen to help deal with this matter, and secondly, I want to hear Miss Lizhen tell the story of His Royal Highness King Yue, I am very interested in hearing it!"

Speaking of this, Liu Ru is mouth was full of smiles, but she had a peerless bearing, which made Ruan Lizhen feel intoxicated.

Looking at this strange woman with a twisted fate, she suddenly thought of many stories in the drama, and immediately stretched out her hand and said: "I have good tea, Hedongjun, let's have a cup together!"

She felt that Liu Rushi should be a good listener, and Liu Rushi also smiled and said, "Then I'll play the piano then!"

For the small court of Longwu in Fuzhou, the result of the Battle of Hangjiahu can be described as a "disaster", even more uncomfortable than defeat on the battlefield.

Although everyone knows that the small court of Yue Ming is by no means orthodox, and Liu Yongxi's turbid court is by no means groundless, but under the pressure of the Great Qing Dynasty, Jiangnan Shi Dafu has no bottom line, and their cooperation with the small court of the prison state is extremely pleasant, but they leave the orthodox court of Longwu aside.

Therefore, when Hong Chengchou contacted the Longwu court from the sea, neither the Tang king himself nor the Wenchen, mainly Huang Daozhou, refused to turn away, but conducted several secret negotiations in the name of "plotting against Hong Chengchou", but it was difficult to continue the negotiations soon.

Whether it was Duoduo, Haoge or Hong Chengchou, they all hoped that the Longwu court could stab the small court in the back, so that the Qing army in Nanjing could have a respite, but Tang Wang and Huang Daozhou knew very well that this was not only a military suicide, but also a political suicide.

But now all the expectations of the small court of Longwu are on the battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River, but they do not want the Qing army to win a complete victory nor do they want the Zhejiang people to take the south of the Yangtze River, they can only hope that the two sides can confront each other for a long time, but everyone knows that the situation of confrontation will be broken sooner or later, and no matter who is the final victor, it will be the end of the small court of Longwu.

It's just that after a series of bad news, the small court of Longwu finally got clear good news, that is, He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, not only recognized the legitimacy of the Longwu court, but also brought an unexpected important news: "The thief begged for appeasement? He also asked the imperial court to give him a name!"

Although this news was controlled within a very small range, the entire Longwu Imperial Court fell into a new wave of politics because of this news: "How can this group of thieves be so cheap, if it weren't for this group of thieves, how could the world get to this point!"

"Yes, we can talk about other things, we can fight against Hong Chengchou, but we can't be so cheap thieves!"

"Well said, Hong Chengchou is at least a gentleman's family, why should this group of mud-legged people be crowned marquis, and the country and the thieves are not separate!"

The reason why this incident has aroused such a fierce discussion is naturally because this group of thieves is Li Zicheng's remnant, and now they still support Li Zicheng's widow, Mrs. Gao, and even under the banner of "Dashun" and "Yongchang", which is the enemy of the Ming Dynasty in the real sense of destroying the country.

Although the thieves are very sincere, not only willing to give up the original "Dashun" and "Yongchang" banners, but also willing to become the master of the imperial court, but almost all the people in the court feel that this is a matter of principle that cannot be traded, and they must not compromise with this group of mud legs.

Even if he negotiated with Hong Chengchou, he couldn't compromise with this group of mud legs who overthrew the rule of the Ming Dynasty, after all, Hong Chengchou was not only born in Fujian but also a gentleman's family, and the thieves didn't know that An Fenshou had already started an incident, and there was no way to compromise with the thieves in any form.

Emperor Longwu told the truth to his first assistant Huang Daozhou: "If you start from the perspective of life and death in the imperial court, you should temporarily give these thieves in the name of the snake, but if you look at the Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations, today's things are all the fault of the thieves, and killing them clean is considered to spare them, how can you compromise with them!"

Huang Daozhou was also extremely entangled: "Your Majesty is wise, but this matter must be considered in the long run, if it is not handled well, I am afraid that the Zhejiang people will have an excuse to send troops!"

This is also where Emperor Longwu is entangled, now it is the two small courts of Fujian and Zhejiang that are fighting for orthodoxy, if Fujian is too weak in the matter of thieves, I am afraid that Zhejiang will have a chance: "This matter must be dealt with perfectly, and the people of Zhejiang must not be allowed to find the slightest fault!"

But they didn't know that Liu Yongxi was also talking about this issue at this moment: "The crimes of Qianqiu are all Li Zicheng alone, Li Zicheng is dead, hundreds of thousands of thieves can be used by me, as long as they abide by the law and serve the court, we should let them be used by me with an attitude of embracing all rivers!"

Speaking of this, Liu Yongxi said in a very solemn tone: "Whether or not you can win this force is very important to the imperial court, so I hope that Sister Yan and Jin'er will be consistent with me in this matter!"

This is not a big problem for Empress Zhang, although she feels that Li Zicheng is extremely evil, but there should be many good people among the thieves, and she has always supported Liu Yongxi unconditionally since Nandu, so she nodded very gently.

And Princess Kunxing's thoughts are different, Li Zicheng has a grudge against her father for killing her, but when she heard Liu Yongxi calling herself "Jin'er", her daughter's heart also became soft, so she asked a question first: "Li Zicheng is really dead?" ”

Liu Yongxi said very clearly: "It is indeed dead, it is precisely because Li Zicheng is dead, hundreds of thousands of thieves have no leader, and now they are begging He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, for care, but He Tengjiao is the governor of Huguang over there in Fujian!"

As soon as Liu Yongxi said this, the princess of Jianguo already understood that although the two small courts were in harmony on the surface, how could the sun and the moon really be harmonious when they fought with the hanging Minyue, since He Tengjiao threw himself into the Tang Dynasty, then Liu Yongxi and Zhejiang must dig his foot.

But this answer still did not satisfy Princess Kunxing, and she continued to ask: "Can these hundreds of thousands of thieves be used by the state?" It's not once or twice that the state recruits them, but every time it's all in vain!"

This is the real key, Empress Zhang and Princess Kunxing are more concerned about the actual effect of this recruitment, after all, the imperial court almost recruited almost all the thieves back then, but the final result was that most of the thieves in Zhao'an restarted to harm the world.

And Mrs. Xing, who was beside Liu Yongxi, stood up: "I have talked to my husband about this matter, and it should not be a problem for me to come forward!"

As soon as Mrs. Xing said this, Empress Zhang and Princess Kunxing remembered that Mrs. Xing was not only the surviving person of Xingping Bo Gaojie, but also Li Zicheng's ex-wife.

And now the remnants of Gao Jie, who are regarded as the mainstay by the imperial court, also originate from Li Zicheng's department, but Gao Jiejun has always been the sworn enemy of the thieves, so he will forget the thief background of Gao Jie and Mrs. Xing.

Of course, there are still many people who remember that Gao Jie and Mrs. Xing were once born as thieves, and directly equate them to thieves, even including Shi Kefa Xiangguo, who was martyred in Yangzhou.

After thinking about this, Empress Zhang and Princess Kunxing were persuaded by Liu Yongxi, although they had a hatred of killing their father and destroying the country with the thieves, but the culprit Li Zicheng had already died, and most of the other thieves were killed and injured.

As for whether these hundreds of thousands of thieves can be used by the imperial court, it depends on whether the imperial court can really subdue these hundreds of thousands of thieves, but it is easy to handle this matter with Mrs. Xing coming forward, and it is not a bad thing that some thieves are unwilling to be used by the imperial court, and it is completely possible to use the thieves to deal with the thieves.

Although women are very stubborn many times, they like to think on the bright side of this kind of thing, and Empress Zhang immediately made a decision: "Then go back and convene the ministers to finalize this matter, this is a major policy of the imperial court, and the country is established not to have the opinion that there is no scholarly spirit!"

She knew that there would be many Wenchen who would have different opinions, but since the two of them and Liu Yongxi had reached an agreement, they were not allowed to hear any dissent in the court.

Now that the small court is in the stage of the rising sun, she believes that several ministers and Shangshu will do this, and there will be no disagreement, and even if there is any disagreement, she and Princess Kunxing have absolute confidence to suppress it, after all, they are the real authority in this matter.

The more she thought about it, the more optimistic she became, and felt that even if Zhao'an failed, there would be no loss, after all, He Tengjiao was still the governor of Huguang in the Longwu Dynasty, but at this time, Mrs. Xing was also very optimistic and said: "If you can appease these hundreds of thousands of thieves, then Azig is not to refuse!"

Now the Yue Ming small court is most worried about the Azig army from the upstream, although Jin Sheng, Wang Sunfan and Xing Shengping all said that they have gained a lot, but their opponent is only the first wave of reinforcements sent by Azig, and the main force of Azig is still in the point of standing still.

Unlike the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River, which suffered heavy losses, the Qing army under Azig did not suffer many blows, and now that Huguang and Jiangxi are generally pacified, Azig can concentrate 100,000 troops along the river and march east to give the Yue Ming court a fatal blow, which is exactly what the Yue Ming court is most worried about, so Liu Yongxi will make up his mind to send Xing Shengping to lead 20,000 troops to fight upstream.

However, no one can answer the question of whether Xing Shengping's 20,000 soldiers and horses, plus Jin Sheng and Wang Sunfan's troops, can stop Azig's army, but if the remnants of the hundreds of thousands of thieves in Huguang can be used by the imperial court, then the situation in the Huguang battlefield and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River will be completely changed.

And more importantly, even if this appeasement fails, there is no loss for the imperial court, but the small court of Longwu suffers even greater losses!

Empress Zhang also wanted to understand this, and she decided to fully support Liu Yongxi on this issue: "As long as the thieves are willing to be appeased and march into Jingzhou, no matter what conditions they propose, the imperial court can agree to it!"
