"Aren't they going to toy everybody to clapp? This time, the Pavilion wants to have a good time with them. Shi Kefa sneered.

"Yuanfu, are you saying that we agree to Qi Guogong's conditions?" Zuo Maodi hurriedly asked. Now the city is coerced by the Zheng family to support the Tang Dynasty's succession, with the celebrant supervisor, the cabinet, the six ministries and nine secretaries, and even tens of thousands of troops in the city. Although Shi Kefa is the first assistant, he has become a lonely widow, and there are few subordinates who can be used, if he wants to deal with these people, he must cooperate with Chen Yue.

"Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, is not a good thing, once he agrees to his conditions, it will inevitably make him more and more powerful, if his ambition continues to swell, and he really has the intention of becoming the emperor, we will all be sinners of the Ming Dynasty." Shi Kefa sighed.

"But Yuan Fu, if we don't cooperate with Qi Guogong, we can only compromise with the Zheng family forces that support King Tang. Qi Guogong Chen Bing is outside the city, less than twenty miles away from Nanjing, I'm afraid it won't give us much time. And before I came back, the Duke of Qi had already sworn to me that he would never be a rebel and thief of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Zuo Maodi hurriedly said, now that Shi Kefa has been caught in the middle, the forces of both sides are like wolves and tigers, and either side has the ability to subvert the Ming Dynasty. Compared with the Zheng family, a rebellious minister and thief who dared to kill the prince and harm the king, Zuo Maodi was more willing to believe in Chen Yue, who had made countless military exploits.

"If the oath can be believed, Cao Wei will not replace Liu Han!" Shi Kefa shook his head and said, "But now we really don't have many choices, if we really force Chen Yue to attack Nanjing City, then things will be completely out of our control, and everything will be put to rest." ”

After experiencing the joint attack on Jinyiwei by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and Ying Tianfu, Shi Kefa had lost confidence in the army in the city. Moreover, Chen Yue has a deep foundation in the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei, Sihai Commercial Bank, Xungui, ministers, I don't know how many of his people there are. If Chen Yue really attacked Nanjing, maybe how many people would take the initiative to surrender.

Even if the imperial court can hold Nanjing, but without Chen Yue, a general, and his elite troops, is there any hope for the Ming Dynasty?

Therefore, Shi Kefa decided to seek skin with the tiger and temporarily agreed to Chen Yue's conditions and cooperated with him. And on the moral level, it also made it impossible for Shi Kefa to work with the rebellious ministers and thieves who killed the prince and harmed the king. Although Chen Yue is domineering, although he is under the slogan of the Qing monarch, his purpose is to avenge the emperor's father and son, which is much more noble than the Zheng family.

However, Chen Yue's ambitions must be curbed and made to serve the Ming Dynasty loyally! As long as Chen Yue can restrain his ambition and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, it cannot be a problem to expel the Manchurians and restore the land with his martial arts, and the Ming Dynasty is hopeful!

But if you want to cooperate with Chen Yue, you must accept his conditions, and the king is just that, although the king with a different surname is rare in the Ming Dynasty, but Chen Yue's merits are enough to be crowned king, and now it is almost the moment of life and death in the Ming Dynasty, and the king can encourage the soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy. As for the Grand Governor, now that Chen Yue has mastered the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, it is just a matter of justifying his name to be the Grand Governor.

But the most difficult thing for Shi Kefa to accept is that Princess Kunxing is in charge of the country, and a woman is in charge of the country, which is really unseen, and it is not a blessing for Mao Ji Si Chen!

"Zhong Ji, you go and talk to Chen Yue again, except for the princess's affairs in charge of the country, other pavilions can agree." Shi Kefa gritted his teeth and said to Zuo Maodi.

Zuo Maodi's face showed a look of embarrassment: "Yuanfu, the lower officials can go and talk, but from the perspective of the lower officials, everything else is easy to say, but the princess of Qi will definitely not change his words." I look at the meaning of the Duke of Qi, he thinks that without him, the Ming Dynasty would have died a long time ago, and he is not willing to support anyone other than His Majesty's family to become the emperor, even if it is the king of the Jinzhi domain......"

"But Your Majesty has no children, what if Your Majesty has a good one? Do you want Princess Kunxing to be the emperor? Shi Kefa finally roared.

Zuo Maodi sighed: "I'm afraid that's what Qi Guogong meant." ”

"Sure enough, it's a rebel and a thief! When the princess becomes the emperor, the throne will definitely pass to the princess's son, who is also his son. Although he Chen Yue will not usurp the throne, wouldn't it be the same to leave the throne to his son! Shi Kefa said angrily.

"Yuanfu, the lower official doesn't know if he should say a word." Zuo Maodi sighed.

"You say."

"Yuanfu, with all due respect, this country belongs to the Zhu family, although the princess is a daughter, she also has His Majesty's blood, and although the woman is in charge of the country and even the emperor, it is not in line with tradition, but there is no way.

In the future, the princess and Chen Yue's son will become emperors, and this country will not be considered for outsiders. You and I are just courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to considering the legitimacy of the change of the throne, we must also think about the people of the world.

Although the princess is not in line with reason, she can ensure that the Duke of Qi serves the court wholeheartedly. Although the Duke of Qi is strong, he is only a military general, and he has to rely on us to govern the country. And as long as we work together with the public of Qi and the court is united, the country of the Ming Dynasty is bound to flourish. Only when war and chaos are eliminated and peace is restored can the people of the world live a good life.

And if we insist on refusing to let the princess supervise the country, it will inevitably make the Duke of Qi turn against him, and it is difficult to say whether Daming can exist, let alone any future! ”

On the way back from negotiating with Chen Yue, Zuo Maodi had already carefully considered it, and he sadly found that there was no other way to eliminate the impending war and stabilize the imperial court than to accept Chen Yue's conditions.

Listening to Zuo Maodi's words, Shi Kefa closed his eyes painfully and nodded heavily.

"Okay, promise Chen Yue, but the old man also has a condition, after Chen Yue enters Nanjing, he must solemnly swear in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military that he will never covet the throne, and the Ming dynasty will always be surnamed Zhu!"

Zuo Maodi nodded repeatedly, and Shi Kefa was able to turn the corner to make him feel very relieved.

"Motosuke, what should we do next? Qi Guogong has other conditions, the first is to take down the eunuch Han Zanzhou! And there are many comrades in the city who support King Tang, especially the Zheng family's army! Zuo Maodi asked worriedly.

The current situation is very grim, the inner palace is in the hands of Han Zanzhou, and Chongzhen's father and daughter are under his control. There are many ministers in the court who support the Tang Dynasty, and although Shi Kefa is the first assistant, he is the weakest faction.

"It turned out that they secretly carried out a conspiracy, and the old man was kept in the dark, now that we know their details, if the old man can't deal with them, he is not worthy of being this first assistant!" Shi Kefa said confidently.

"Moreover, since we have agreed to Chen Yue's conditions, Chen Yue's hidden power in the city should assist us. Now it is equivalent to us dealing with them with Chen Yue, how can it be invincible! ”

ps: I'm very tired today, I'm physically and mentally exhausted, I didn't want to write, but I think about it, I persevered, gritted my teeth and wrote another chapter. It feels a little messy, so let's make do with it.
