After Hou Fangyu got Zuo Liangyu's answer, he didn't leave immediately, he could see that Zuo Liangyu was not positive, he didn't know why, but this was the strength they had to rely on, otherwise this matter would not be done, since Zuo Liangyu could not completely break through, then find someone else to continue to expand the results, Hou Fangyu was also a pioneer at this moment.

Hou Fangyu temporarily stayed here in Hanyang Zuo Liangyu and began to start with the people around Zuo Liangyu, and at this time in Nanjing, his comrades-in-arms were also actively planning this matter, everyone's purpose was the same, that is, to get Cao Bianjiao, even if he couldn't get rid of him, he must be asked to hand over power and be a simple military general.

"Hou Fangyu has arrived in Hanyang, although Zuo Liangyu did not decisively express his support for us, but he also showed kindness, now Hou Fangyu is hurrying to break through, he wrote to say that he is approaching Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Mengeng and his cronies Huang Yi and others, he claims that he is sure to win them over, Zuo Liangyu's side of the matter is solved, and our side can also launch an offensive."

In a pavilion at the foot of Qixia Mountain in Nanjing, many people are entrenched in it, all of whom are famous talents and court officials in the south of the Yangtze River, including Gao Hongtu, Zhou Bi, Gu Gao, Chen Zhenhui, Wu Yingji, Hou Chaozong, Huang Zongxi and other members of the Donglin Restoration Society, and the purpose of their coming here is to bring down Cao Bianjiao.

"Our side is also ready, the candidate has been found, the plan has been prepared, and it can be implemented at any time, as long as it is done, Cao Bianjiao's reputation will definitely be damaged, we will take it step by step, it is not an overnight thing to bring down Cao Bianjiao, after all, the emperor still trusts him very much, and now he has a lot of henchmen, we need a process."

"Tell me about your plan, what are you going to do?"

"We have found a good person, let him pretend to be the prince Zhu Cihong, ready to appear in Yangzhou, and then he will be found and sent to Nanjing, the rest of the thing is that we make a big fuss, the fake prince's family we have controlled, he is a filial son, for his family, he will do what we say."

"That's good! It's important to make it right, and it doesn't involve us......"

After some discussion and discussion, a group of people also dispersed immediately, this time in order to bring down Cao Bianjiao, he did not hesitate to spend his blood, they absolutely did not allow a martial artist to "mislead the country", since ancient times, the court was in charge of the civil ministers, only in the late Eastern Han Dynasty except for Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, the country was lost, and they did not want the old things to happen again.

In the middle of May, a young man named Wang Zhiming appeared in Suzhou, and this person often swaggered in public, revealing a noble appearance, which soon attracted people's attention, and the people whispered behind their backs. When someone was sleeping as a teenager, they accidentally found him wearing a shirt woven with dragon patterns, which caused an uproar for a while.

When the Honglu Temple Shaoqing Gao Mengji's slave Mu Hu passed by Suzhou, on the way to meet the young Wang Zhiming, Mu Hu has long heard about the matter, according to the investigation found that the young man's underwear is indeed woven with dragon patterns, asked his identity, the young man claimed to be the crown prince Zhu Cihong, Mu Hu immediately reported the matter to Gao Mengji, Gao Mengji also immediately wrote to the court, and played the matter.

If the prince goes south, then according to orthodoxy, it should be the crown prince Zhu Cijiong ascending the throne to inherit the throne, but the current situation is that the former king Zhu Cijiong has succeeded to the throne, Zhu Cijiong should not abdicate and give the throne to Zhu Cihong, it stands to reason that this should be the case.

"Brother Tai is my own brother, I am the same mother as Brother Prince, if it is really Brother Prince who goes south, I am willing to abdicate and make way for Xian, I am young and mediocre, Brother Prince has both talent and virtue, and I am the best candidate for the throne......"

When the news reached the palace, Zhu Cijiong also expressed his attitude, if Zhu Cihong came, he could abdicate and make way for Xian, and he would not covet the throne, after all, he was a brother, the throne was not a simple dragon chair, but the burden of the entire Ming Dynasty, and he had to bear it as a last resort.

"Your Majesty, it's too early to say this, now the rumors say that the prince crossed to the south, and the minister thought that there were a lot of doubts, if it was really the prince who went south, why not come directly to Nanjing, but lingered in Suzhou, and why not show his identity, the former prince was detained by Li Zicheng, how did he escape from the enemy, it is rumored that someone found this person wearing a dragon shirt, the emperor just imagined, the prince went south, all the way through the land of thieves, when it was careful to conceal his identity, why was he still wearing a dragon shirt, Wouldn't that be easy to spot, and why did only one person come here......

Shi Kefa threw out a lot of questions at once, these are all things he analyzed after getting the news, there are many doubts, there are too many, which makes him very suspicious, whether this person is true or false, if it is true, he can't figure out these questions, but fake, who dares to be so bold and pretend to be the prince, this is a big crime of the nine clans!

Listening to Shi Kefa's analysis, Zhu Cijiong also thought so, and immediately ordered: "Yuanfu, can I send someone to inform the general about this matter?" ”

"The minister has already sent someone to report, I want to come to the general after getting the news, he will rush back immediately, this matter is very important, the minister does not dare to arbitrarily decide the matter, and needs to discuss with the general in person to decide, but the general is gathering troops in the central capital, trying to recover the lost ground, and now there is such a change, I am afraid that it will be delayed again."

Shi Kefa also deeply regretted, a few days ago he just got the news sent by Cao Bianjiao, saying that Li Zicheng retreated to Beijing after the defeat, but fled the next day after ascending the throne, now the Manchu Qing Dynasty has occupied Beijing City, is pursuing Li Zicheng, the Dashun court almost collapsed, this time is the best time, Cao Bianjiao is ready to recover Shandong and Henan first, and then move to collect the rest of the lost territory.

"Then wait for the general to come back and deal with it, regardless of whether the other party is the prince brother or not, but at the moment, the people are surging, so make arrangements for a good life, and place the future in the Taifu Temple first!"

Zhu Cijiong also issued a clear order, he still wanted Cao Bianjiao to deal with this matter, he couldn't believe these people, even if Shi Kefa said so many doubts, but Zhu Cijiong knew that Shi Kefa was very close to the Donglin Party, and these people had not stopped since the day he ascended the throne, and he thought it would be appropriate to let Cao Bianjiao take charge of this matter.

"Obey the order!" Shi Kefa also went to arrange it.

After Shi Kefa walked out, Zhu Cijiong also looked at Han Zanzhou beside him and asked, "Han Zanzhou, what do you think of this matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, forgive the slave for bluntly saying that there is a chance that this matter will be false, what Master Shi Kefa said just now is extremely reasonable, there are too many doubts, there are so many doubts, it is not difficult to guess whether it is false or not, the slave is worried that someone will take the opportunity to make a big fuss!"

"What you say is reasonable, this matter is careless, you go and tell Chang Yanling, and secretly order him to let Jinyi Wei investigate, you can't sit back and wait for the general to deal with it, you have to do something!"

"Slaves obey!" Han Zanzhou also gladly accepted the order and left.
