"The camp has now spread all over the camp, Pingnan Marquis Chen Yue traveled thousands of miles to ride alone, escorted Emperor Chongzhen to return south, and cut six generals all the way, and said that Chen Yue was like Guan Yunchang. The brothers in the camp were all talking, and they couldn't stop at all. ”

In the Chinese army tent, Weng Zhiqi, a pro-soldier Qianhu, hung his head and told Huang Degong in discouragement.

"Damn!" Huang Degong slapped the table heavily, and the violent vibration caused the tea cup to collapse, and the tea flowed down the table.

"He Chen Yue is Guan Yunchang, he is loyal and courageous, is my Huang Degong the white-faced Cao Cao, a traitor?" Huang Degong roared angrily.

Weng Zhiqi hung his head and was silent, the matter was already clear, Chen Yue was a loyal minister who protected him, and the most right person with him was definitely a traitorous minister.

"Brother-in-law, what should you do, you have to make up your mind as soon as possible! Liu Liangzuo urged three times a day, urging us to march into the army to attack the emperor. When Huang Degong finished getting angry, Weng Zhiqi persuaded.

"It's all said, don't call me brother-in-law in the army!" Huang Degong glared at Weng Zhiqi fiercely and reprimanded.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

Huang Degong's face was gloomy, and he walked around the tent, hesitating. At this moment, a pro-soldier suddenly came to report that an envoy from the imperial court had come to the barracks.

"The envoy of the imperial court, which imperial court? Is it the Hongguang court in Nanjing or the Chongzhen in Yangzhou? ”

Before Huang Degong could speak, Weng Zhiqi scolded angrily at his own soldiers.

"Yes, it's an envoy sent by Emperor Chongzhen of Yangzhou." The pro-soldier hurriedly replied.

"Hmm." Huang Degong stood up suddenly, and his face changed rapidly.

"Brother-in-law, Lord Commander, can we see each other?" Weng Zhiqi hurriedly asked.

"See, of course. Pass him in. Huang Degong said hurriedly.

Soon, a civilian official in a cyan official uniform walked in behind his soldiers.

"Master Tang, it's you!" Seeing the person coming, Huang Degong's expression relaxed. Tang Laihe, the official of Yangzhou Mansion, a native of Luzhou, and Huang Degong can be regarded as half of the same countrymen, and they also have several fates.

"This official is now here on behalf of the Son of Heaven, General Huang, let's talk about business first and then talk about personal friendship."

Tang Laihe said lightly, standing solemnly facing south and north as he spoke, holding a scroll in both hands, and said loudly: "There is a holy decree, Jingnan Bohuang has to kneel down to receive the holy decree!" ”

"Ahh Huang Degong was caught off guard, his face changed a few times, and he said tentatively, "Master Tang, you brought the holy decree to me to see, why make it so complicated?" ”

"Hmph, what is complicated or not, what the official reads is the will of the saint today, and as a courtier, he naturally has to kneel down to receive the decree. Could it be that Jing Nanbo, you dare to defy the emperor? Tang Laihe asked coldly.

"You ......" Huang Degong pointed at Tang Laihe and wanted to scold, but he didn't know how to scold.

"What Jingnanbo, my family's chief soldier is now the Marquis of Jingnan, you should be careful when you speak." Seeing that Huang Degong was angry, Weng Zhiqi on the side hurriedly pointed at Tang Lai and reprimanded.

"Oh? I don't know which emperor this Jingnan Marquis was sealed? Weng Zhiqi looked at Weng Zhiqi with a smile and asked.

"Of course Emperor Hongguang," Weng Zhiqi was about to speak, but Huang Degong turned his head and glared at him fiercely, so frightened that Weng Zhiqi hurriedly covered his mouth.

"It turned out to be Emperor Hongguang? Jing Nanbo, this official wants to ask, which country's era name is Hongguang, why don't I remember that I changed the era name in the Ming Dynasty? ”

Tang Laihe looked at Huang Degong with a sneer, and asked forcefully, but Huang Degong was silent with a blue face.

"I have heard for a long time that Jingnan Bohuang has meritorious deeds, righteousness, loyalty and bravery, defeated thieves, defeated and sacrificed Kou, and made countless meritorious contributions to my Ming Dynasty, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Jingnan. Why, now that the Son of Heaven Chongzhen is still here, Jing Nanbo, you are going to change camps and be willing to be a traitorous traitor? ”

Tang Laihe's words were like knives and guns, cutting at Huang Degong's heart, and he scolded him with a pale face, turned red, and then turned black, but he couldn't get out. For a long time, Huang Degong regarded himself as a loyal minister and a good general of the imperial court, and regarded the name and festival as more important than the sky, but now that he has done something that has failed the minister's festival, how to tell the difference?

"Master Tang, you keep saying that you have the holy decree of Emperor Chongzhen, but the news of Chongzhen's martyrdom has spread all over the world, who knows if what you said is true or false?"

"Besides, Chongzhen was martyred, the Ming Dynasty can't be left without an owner for a day, it is natural for me to support King Fu and succeed to the throne, even if Chongzhen's son survives, I can't just say that I am a traitor who is a traitor, right?"

Huang Degong settled down and reluctantly argued.

"Hmph, Chongzhen Tianzi is on a southern tour, and there are countless officials and gentry in the Huaiyang generation who have seen the holy face, there are two lists of Huaiyang governors, Huai'an prefects, Yangzhou prefects, etc., and there are Zhu Guobi, the chief soldier of the noble Funing Hou Caoyun, and the vassal kings Lu Wang and Hui Wang who live in Huai'an are still in Huai'an, they all recognize that His Majesty's southern tour is true, but what do you say is true and false, what is your Huang Degong's intention?"

Huang Degong's face was blue when he was scolded, and he could only be silent. In another time and space, Huang Degong was dominant, but he also looked at who he was, for the Hongguang court, because of his merits, he believed that the Son of Heaven was established by himself, and he naturally had a natural psychological advantage in the face of the civil officials of the Hongguang Dynasty.

But now Chongzhen is still there, the majesty of the Son of Heaven for seventeen years is there, the tradition of the Ming Dynasty is noble, and the tradition of martial arts is there, in the face of the aggressive Yangzhou Mansion Governor Tang Laihe, Huang Degong can't stand up at all. Not to mention tearing up the holy decree like another time and space, he didn't even dare to scold the court envoys.

Because he knows that if he dares to tear up the holy decree and scold the messenger now, it is tantamount to standing on the opposite side of Chongzhen, facing the turbulent general trend, facing the Pingnan army that can defeat the coalition army of Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo, Huang Degong has no certainty of victory, even the hurdle in his heart He can't get over!

Seeing his brother-in-law's embarrassed appearance, Qianhu Weng Zhiqi had to help.

"Since Huaiyang is recognized by the civil and military, His Majesty's southern tour is naturally true. But Lord Tang, the general soldiers of my family did not know the news of His Majesty's survival before, so he did the thing of supporting King Fu, can Your Majesty not be responsible for the previous behavior of the general soldiers of my family? ”

Tang Laihe glanced at Weng Zhiqi deeply, and his tone softened, "The pursuit and investigation depends on Jing Nanbo's performance." If you are obsessed, you will not forgive, and the traitor Gao Jie will end! ”

"But, but, Keping Nanhou's army is less than 10,000, do you have the certainty of victory?" Weng Zhiqi struggled to himself.

"Hehe, if you don't believe it, you can give it a try." Tang Laihe smiled indifferently, looked at Huang Degong, and said coldly, "Jing Nanbo, do you accept the order?" ”

Huang Degong's face changed for a long time, and he struggled in his heart, and finally came to Tang Laihe and knelt down slowly.
