Nanjing finally ushered in the first snow of winter, but the whole city was covered in snow, and when the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, the streets and alleys began to become lively.

The sound of children playing began to echo in the snow, adding a lot of joy to Nanjing, an ancient city with a long history.

Chongzhen was wearing a mink coat and stood at the window of the study, looking at the white snowflakes outside the window. Enjoy the warmth of the sun shining on your body and the comfort it brings to your body.

The matter of Huguang has come to an end, and the efforts of half a year have finally reaped full rewards today, and Chongzhen is in a good mood and has no regrets. The only thing that made him unhappy was that King Fu had escaped without a trace, and at present, the officers and soldiers of Huguang were still searching with all their might, and Chongzhen had not slept all night waiting for news.

Outside the house, there was a 'click' sound of stepping on snowflakes, which broke the silence in the garden and awakened Chongzhen's contemplation. looked up and followed the prestige, but saw Wu Chengen under the arch guard of the two small yellow doors, quickly walking towards the imperial study.

Chongzhen's body stiffened slightly, turned around and returned to his dragon chair and sat down. The knock on the door came at the right time, and Wu Chengen's voice came: "Your Majesty ......"

Chongzhen didn't wait for Wu Chengen to finish speaking, and immediately shouted outside the door: "Come in and talk about it." ”

The door opened, and Wu Chengen shook off the snowflakes on his body before entering the study. Closed the door with his backhand, and then hurriedly trotted to Chongzhen, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the news just sent has finally found the trace of King Fu." ”

"Where is he?" Chongzhen looked very impatient.

"Back to the emperor, King Fu has now hid in Xi'an and went to see Mao Wenlong." Wu Chengen didn't dare to slack off, and immediately replied.

"Damn, I really ran to beg Mao Wenlong." Chongzhen suddenly stood upright and began to walk back and forth in the room, looking uneasy.

At this moment, Wu Chengen didn't dare to say much, and carefully stepped aside, so as not to hinder Chongzhen's back and forth.

After a moment of silence, Chongzhen stopped, looked at Wu Chengen and said, "Immediately send Sun Chuanting to come over to see me." ”

"Slave and maid, go now." Wu Chengen agreed and left quickly.

"Mao Wenlong, I hope you don't get involved...... Chongzhen muttered, and returned to his dragon chair and sat down.

After a while, Sun Chuanting arrived in a hurry, and after seeing the salute, he opened his mouth to ask Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I heard that you have found the trace of King Fu?" ”

Chongzhen nodded with a gloomy face and snorted coldly: "As Sun Aiqing expected, this Fu King really ran to seek Mao Wenlong's help. ”

Sun Chuanting was silent for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "Your Majesty, this is not a bad thing, although we can't cut the grass and eradicate the roots now, we can also use this incident to test Mao Wenlong." ”

Chongzhen said suspiciously: "Temptation? Temptation of what? ”

Sun Chuanting explained: "This time, King Fu ran to ask Mao Wenlong for help, if Mao Wenlong promised King Fu, borrow him soldiers and horses or want to stand up for him." can prove that Mao Wenlong is not really assisting the emperor, but he really has ulterior motives. ”

After Chongzhen heard this, his brows were deeply locked and he fell into deep thought. According to what Sun Chuanting just said, this is indeed an excellent opportunity to test Mao Wenlong's true thoughts. But Chongzhen is more concerned about the result at the moment, once Mao Wenlong agrees to King Fu's request and really assists King Fu, then Chongzhen will inevitably fall into an extremely unfavorable situation.

"If Mao Wenlong agrees to King Fu's request, what should we do? At least for now, we are no match for the Dongjiang Army, and all our supplies are still relying on Mao Wenlong. Chongzhen said without worry.

"Your Majesty, it's time for us to really become independent. It may be painful at first, but it's also an opportunity. Now Huguang is under our control, and after integration, our current strength has expanded to nearly 100,000. Moreover, in Huguang, we have also found a lot of food and money, with which we can survive at least one quarter. ”

"Aiqing is ready to completely break with Mao Wenlong!" Chongzhen was surprised.

"Your Majesty, don't miss the opportunity and never come again, this is an opportunity for us, please the emperor must seize it!" Sun Chuanting persuaded earnestly.

Chongzhen was obviously not ready, and he didn't have the courage of Sun Chuanting, his hesitant appearance made Sun Chuanting quite anxious.

Perhaps Chongzhen at this moment is confirming the old saying, only those who have lost will know how to cherish it!

Chongzhen can be said to be a person who has died once, struggling from nothing to now, and finally has a little hope for the future again. But now he has to face a dilemma, once he chooses the wrong one, then he is really to the point of no return, and if he wants to turn over, there is obviously no chance.

After some careful thought, Chongzhen looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "What Aiqing said just now, I will think about it." But as long as it is not until the last moment, I don't want to push myself into a dead end again, let me think again. ”

Sun Chuanting let out a sigh helplessly, he had no intention of continuing the discussion, and bowed before retiring.

Chongzhen didn't keep him, and at the moment he himself was in turmoil, not knowing what to do.

Different positions have different views, Sun Chuanting can fight with everything, but Chongzhen can't. He had already fallen once, and he knew deeply the horror of losing everything and despair.

If he had died on the coal mountain with that resentment, perhaps he would not have had any fear. But who told him that he didn't die, this would have to make him die again, Chongzhen naturally couldn't be as frank and heroic as the last time.

"Cheng'en, come in for a while." Chongzhen raised his head and shouted outside the door.

Wu Chengen walked in in response and said, "What does the emperor command?" ”

Chongzhen said in a deep voice: "Send someone to Xi'an and quietly tell the princess that he will find an opportunity to kill King Fu." ”

Wu Chengen looked up at Chongzhen in surprise, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, will this princess be unsafe......

Let the princess assassinate King Fu, once the matter fails, Wenlong will definitely be extremely angry, if the princess is hurt because of this, Wu Chengen feels unbearable.

Chongzhen said confidently: "It's okay, even if the matter is revealed, Mao Wenlong won't do anything to the princess." ”

"But ......"

"Don't do it, just do it, don't say more." Chongzhen's attitude was resolute, and he did not allow Wu Chengen to say more.

Wu Chengen sighed helplessly, and after saying goodbye, he silently left the imperial study.

Chongzhen is the only one left in the imperial study, this will be no longer in the good mood just now, Chongzhen is in a daze, I don't know what he is thinking?
