Chongzhen didn't want to hide anything from Zhu Yujiao, and Wu Chengen was obviously going to talk about things related to the princess next, so it was difficult for him to speak in the presence of the princess, so he didn't dare to say much before the princess left.

Seeing that the stalemate is not a solution, and Chongzhen also understands that Wu Chengen must have a hard time to disregard the consequences of disobedience. After some deep thought, Chongzhen finally made a concession and let the princess leave first.

Zhu Yujiao did not show dissatisfaction, she saluted Chongzhen and left quietly.

"What the hell is going on, say it quickly." Although Chongzhen made concessions, he was still very dissatisfied in his heart.

"Your Majesty, this matter is related to the princess, so the slave doesn't dare to say more in front of her." Wu Chengen explained.

Frowning, Chongzhen said in a condensed voice: "Don't talk nonsense, let's talk about the point." ”

Wu Chengen saw that Chongzhen had begun to be impatient, and immediately did not dare to ink, and hurriedly said: "That Li Dingguo gave us a condition, that is, that the emperor should marry the princess to him." Only in this way will he agree and come to serve the emperor. ”

It was very sudden, Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and then slowly reacted, and said, "Why is there such a condition?" ”

The princess has never had any contact with outsiders, except for staying in the palace, and can only go to live with her master in the deep mountains and old forests. It stands to reason that this Li Dingguo obviously doesn't know Zhu Yujiao, but he just made such an abrupt request, which really made Chongzhen puzzling?

Seeing Chongzhen's confusion, Wu Chengen smiled bitterly: "The emperor doesn't know that this Li Dingguo has been on his own since Zhang Xianzhong's death. This person is dedicated to serving the emperor and wants to make a difference. This time, the emperor gave him a chance, and it can be seen that he cherishes it very much, but he also has his concerns. And if he marries the princess, Li Dingguo feels that it is the safest way to eliminate his concerns. ”

After listening to this long explanation, Chongzhen suddenly came over, and after pondering for a while, he asked in a deep voice, "Then do you think I should agree to him?" ”

Wu Chengen didn't expect Chongzhen to ask himself so directly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, but he couldn't open his mouth.

Chongzhen's eyes were dissatisfied, and he snorted coldly: "If I ask you, I will say anything." ”

Wu Chengen said bitterly: "Your Majesty, slaves and maids don't dare to speculate. ”

Chongzhen was not polite, and snorted coldly: "Say." ”

Helpless, Wu Chengen had no choice but to muster up his courage and replied: "According to the slave's opinion, we have to see what the princess means in this matter first." If the princess agrees to marry Li Dingguo, then we can decide what to do next. ”

Chongzhen also felt justified after hearing this, and after pondering for a while, he asked Wu Chengen to call Zhu Yujiao again.

After Wu Chengen said yes, he left quickly, and it didn't take long for Zhu Yujiao to arrive, and Ying Ying said bluntly after saluting Chongzhen: "What does my father command?" ”

Chongzhen looked at the slim Zhu Yujiao with pity, and asked softly: "Yujiao, my father has something to ask you." ”

It could be seen that Chongzhen's face was full of solemnity, Zhu Yujiao was suddenly a little nervous, and hesitated for a while before responding: "Father, please speak." ”

Chongzhen no longer hesitated, and said bluntly: "This time, my father is recruiting a fierce general, if he helps, my father may be able to compete with Mao Wenlong." But this fierce general has one condition, that is, he hopes that his father can marry you to him, so as to eliminate the worries in his heart. ”

After a pause, Chongzhen sighed and said, "Father understands that doing this will make you feel uncomfortable, but Father really can't help it. Of course, my father is now left with you, a daughter, and I don't want to see you suffer any grievances, so you don't have to worry too much, completely according to your own wishes, don't wronged yourself. ”

Chongzhen said it beautifully, but in fact, he was advancing by retreating, and he couldn't understand Zhu Yujiao's temperament. Like the previous marriage with Mao Wenlong, on the surface, the princess agreed, but in fact, she was very resistant in her heart. It can be said that the failure of the marriage with Mao Wenlong is largely due to the failure of the princess.

Therefore, this time Chongzhen thought things through very clearly, not only did the princess agree to marry Li Dingguo, but also persuaded her to let her be willing.

At this moment, Zhu Yujiao's heart was mixed, and the first thought in her heart was resistance, but when she thought of the predicament Chongzhen was currently facing, she couldn't bear to refuse. After some fundraising, Zhu Yujiao still nodded and said: "Father, my daughter said that she is willing to do anything for you." ”

Chongzhen's heart was suddenly happy, but he was still serious on the surface: "Sister, you have to think carefully, don't wronged yourself." ”

Zhu Yujiao didn't think much about it this time, and responded directly: "Father rest assured, my daughter is willing." ”

successfully persuaded the princess, the stone in Chongzhen's heart fell, and afterwards he discussed with Wu Chengen and agreed to Li Dingguo's request.

Li Dingguo is a well-deserved fierce general, if Chongzhen can get his service, plus some of the old departments he has incorporated in these days of seclusion. All of them add up to a lot of power. But these alone are obviously far from enough to fight Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army openly.

Fortunately, Chongzhen is also smart now, and he can't beat him openly, so he plots to embarrass Mao Wenlong in secret. And Chongzhen's first target is Nanjing, if there is Li Dingguo, a fierce general, to help, he is confident that he will quietly use thunderous means to sneak attack and recapture Nanjing.

Mao Wenlong didn't notice the surging stream in the dark, and he was putting all his mind on Sichuan at the moment. After some discussion with the generals in the army, he had already decided to start the war and take the opportunity to capture Sichuan.

Xu Fu's progress over there is very smooth, and without the burden of King Fu, he can completely let go of his hands and feet to attack. With the cooperation of those martial arts people in Jiuzhaigou, in less than half a month, half of Sichuan has been defeated.

Li Zicheng's old department, even after losing the battle, was so anxious that he grabbed his ears and cheeks, and he didn't know what to do? As a result, they began to have different opinions, and some advocated withdrawing directly and fleeing elsewhere in order to make a comeback in the future. Others advocate that they must fight to the death and not back down at all.

The quarrel between the two sides led to the instability of the army, and in the face of the attack of the Dongjiang Army, there was almost no power to fight back. The defeat of Li Zicheng's old forces has already appeared, and if nothing else, it is only a matter of time before Mao Wenlong recovers Sichuan.

However, just as Mao Wenlong was preparing for the founding ceremony with peace of mind, an accident occurred in Nanjing at this critical moment. A force that came out of nowhere suddenly swept up in Nanjing, quickly capturing several small cities.
