"Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor," Xiao Guizi, the eunuch in charge of listening to the cabinet, ran over breathlessly.

Han Zanzhou hurriedly asked, "How is it?" What's going on with the Cabinet? ”

"Chen Yue put forward two conditions, one is to abolish the qualifications of the Tang Crown Prince and let Princess Kunxing supervise the country, and the other is to crown him as the king, and to be the governor of the capital to be in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, the elders of the pavilion are already mad, Shi Ge Lao has decided to convene the noble generals in the city in Zhengyang Gate tomorrow to discuss how to deal with Chen Yue, and Shi Ge Lao will let the old ancestor go over."

"Hah!"

Han Zanzhou didn't know what to say anymore, Chen Yue actually wanted Princess Kunxing to be in charge of the country, and he didn't know what he thought. You said that you have so many troops under your command who can fight and are accustomed to war, and you have such a good reputation among the people, how good it is to simply turn yourself into an emperor, but you have no courage to launch a princess!

Let the princess supervise the country, for a Taoist gentleman like Shi Kefa, it is strange that she can accept it, Han Zanzhou couldn't help but shake his head. Han Zanzhou didn't feel sorry for Shi Kefa's invitation to attend the combat meeting, because he was in charge of the East Factory, and the Jinyi Guard was gone, so of course the matter of supervising the hundred officials of the army would fall on the East Factory.

"You go and tell Shi Ge Lao that our family will attend on time tomorrow!"

......

At night, the Qinhuai River was much colder, and the Duke of Qi Chen Bing occupied Dasheng Pass outside the city, less than 20 miles away from Nanjing, which made the city from the gentry to the merchants all panic, for fear that the situation of the Fuwang Rebellion two years ago would be repeated.

The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and there are always those who do not forget to enjoy themselves, there are still scholars with long robes and wide sleeves, and there is still the sound of silk and bamboo.

A middle-aged man in a black robe and a hat approached the river, went down the steps, and got into a small boat tied to a wooden stake by the river.

On the painting boat, Zheng Zhibao was drinking prodigally, and the two glamorous singers were sitting on both sides of him with a smile, vying to serve him and drink. On the opposite side, a singer with a delicate face was stroking the piano and singing in a low voice.

A subordinate quietly came in and whispered a few words in Zheng Zhibao's ear, Zheng Zhibao clapped his hands, the piano and singing suddenly stopped, and the singers on both sides also retreated.

"Fifth Master Zheng is really good Yaxing." With the words, Liu Kongzhao walked in with a smile.

Zheng Zhibao smiled slightly, "It's just boring, so much so that sincerity makes Bo see it." ”

Nanjing's prosperity is far more than that of Fuzhou and Quanzhou, and Zheng Zhibao has a feeling of being happy in Nanjing these days.

"But Ben Bo thinks that Fifth Master Zheng, you should stay in the barracks now instead of lingering in this land of fireworks."

As soon as the words changed, Liu Kongzhao solemnly admonished, "Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, led 30,000 troops to the city, and the war is about to break out. ”

Zheng Zhibao smiled, "Isn't this to meet you, uncle, where is it convenient to have this place in other places." ”

Liu Kongzhao shook his head and didn't want to say more, "I don't know what is the matter with you, Fifth Master, who are in a hurry to see me?" ”

Zheng Zhibao sat up straight, his expression became serious, "The imperial court sent me a message today, saying that tomorrow the first assistant Shi Kefa will convene a military meeting to agree on the matter of dealing with Chen Yue. I asked you to come over, uncle, just to ask what we should do? ”

"What to do? Is there a way back now? Only defeat Chen Yue to hold the road of Nanjing, if Chen Yue enters Nanjing, all our plans will be frustrated, I can say that I am alone, the fifth master, you still have 15,000 troops in the city, with the festival between the Zheng family and Chen Yue, if he enters the city, can he let you and this army of more than 10,000 people go? ”

Liu Kongzhao said coldly, in fact, for the current Liu Kongzhao, there is also nowhere to go, if the big event is the Tang King ascends the throne, he will be able to restore the title of Earl of Sincerity and restore the former glory status, if the big thing does not work, he will become a lost dog again, and there will be no chance again.

"For today's plan, we can only fight to the death with Chen Yue to the end, we have an army of 15,000, if we contact Wang Zhiren Fang Guoan, we may not be able to fight with Chen Yue, in the end, he only has 30,000 troops!"

"Wang Zhiren Fang Guoan, will they listen to us?" Zheng Zhibao asked suspiciously.

Liu Kongzhao smiled mysteriously, "Fang Guoan is not easy to say, but Wang Zhiren will definitely be." Fifth master, you don't know, Wang Zhiren was originally the general soldier of Dinghai defense, stationed in Dinghai Castle by the Ningbo Sea, relying on the tribute of Ningbo smuggling gentry and maritime merchants, and earning a lot of money every year, but a year ago, Chen Yue's subordinate Lu Tai replaced Fang Guoan as the general soldier of Dinghai, and Wang Zhiren was sent to Quzhou, which is adjacent to Zhejiang and Jiangxi, where birds don't, so Wang Zhiren and Chen Yue have old grudges.

As for Fang Guoan, this person is the most greedy, as long as the money is opened, he has nothing he dare not do. Fifth master, now is the time to show the Zheng family's financial strength! As long as Wang Zhiren and Fang Guoan stand with us, there is no Beijing camp, and we also have more than 50,000 troops, twice as many troops as Chen Yue, how can we be invincible! ”

Zheng Zhibao thought about it for a moment and hit it heavily on the table, "Fuck it, silver is a fart, my Zheng family doesn't have anything else, just silver!" ”

Liu Kongzhao gave a thumbs up, "The fifth master is really bold, yes, the king of Tang ascended the throne, you and I have the merit of supporting it, with this merit, the fifth master, you will at least be crowned an earl, and the Zheng family will become the first family of the Ming Dynasty, how much silver will not be available at that time?" ”

Zheng Zhibao smiled self-containedly, "May I ask Uncle, who should I send to contact Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren?" ”

Liu Kongzhao: "It is said that I should go for such a big matter, but my identity is sensitive now, and it is not appropriate to show my face, but there is one person who is very suitable, and that is the name of Yushi Fangxia." Fang Mingxia and Chen Yue have a deep grudge, and they can't get off the boat anymore, this person has a convenient mouth, and he is the best person to do this. ”

Zheng Zhibao nodded, "Just let him go." ”

Zheng Zhibao said and took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, "Give this to him, as the capital to buy Wang Zhiren and Fang Guoan." Tell him that my Zheng family will be grateful if things are done, and if things don't work out, his good days will come to an end. ”

The two discussed secretly for a long time, and Liu Kong Zhaofang left the painting boat.

"Isn't it Liu Kongzhao?" On the street on the side of the Qinhuai River, more than twenty steps apart, two people were whispering.

"It's him!" The other nodded.

"Do you want to take him?"

"No, do you know whose boat it is? The Zheng family! I don't know how many people from the Zheng family are around here, Liu Kongzhao has a deep background and has a lot of thugs, so we can't act rashly. It's better to be behind him and find his foothold! ”
