Fang Yuan and Liu Ru hadn't seen each other for a year, and there should have been endless words, and even Fang Yuan had thought that he would directly take down this beauty tonight.

But at the moment, Fang Yuan couldn't say a word, just ten meters away from Liu Ru, sitting alone and drinking.

Liu Ru is eyes were already oozing some tears, and the ridicule of everyone in the open and secret made her ashamed, and she said in a low voice, "Brother Fang, now you and I have become the laughing stock of others after dinner, this is what you want?" ”

Fang Yuan was angry, but he was helpless, he could seal Zheng Zhibao's mouth today, and seal the mouth of the world tomorrow?

He wanted to ask Liu Ru about the situation of slaughtering Fuzhou City in the past year, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, and said indifferently on his gloomy face, "Sister Liu, I saved you back and did you save the wrong one?" You didn't want to come back, and you couldn't bear Qian Qianyi, did you! ”

Liu Ru said gloomily, "Brother Fang, of course I want to come back, and it has nothing to do with Qian Qianyi. He has lost his mind now in order to oppose you, and I don't want to say anything more to him. Brother Fang never understood that all this had nothing to do with Qian Qianyi. ”

Fang Yuan said unhappily, "Sister Liu, I would like to hear about any other fallacies and heresies you have." ”

She looked at Fang Yuan in a daze and said, "Before, when I married Qian Qianyi, I was pointed at behind my back and ridiculed a prostitute in a green mansion for seducing an old man who was about to die. Now that I am still Mrs. Qian, I have abandoned the lost Qian Qianyi and the hottest brother in the world, how many gossips will there be behind me, scolding me for being shameless and climbing the dragon and the phoenix? ”

"In Hongdou Villa before, when I was free, I could also go to Kou Mei and get together and have a chat. Now that the Qian clan has been killed by you, and Hongdou Villa has been completely abandoned, where do I still have the face to meet them? Even if they don't ask you about you, brother, if they ask me where I live now, how will I answer? Can I answer that I live in Brother Fang's Canglang Pavilion? ”

"Even if I stay in the Canglang Pavilion, I can't see the light, I can't see anyone, even if it's a golden silk bird in a cage, what glory can I have?"

Fang Yuan realized that he had done everything possible to save Liu Ru is back, but in fact, Liu Ru didn't appreciate it, maybe she had deliberately hid far away in Fujian before.

Fang Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Liu, everything is my own passion? ”

Tears in Liu Ru's eyes crossed her cheeks and landed on her chest and shoulders, "Brother Fang, you are good to me, how can I not know?" But, what about people's words! Brother Fang, you don't care, I really care. I'm afraid, afraid of being treated as a shameless lowly woman; I'm afraid of being scolded as a ** slut behind my back. I want what you give, but I don't dare to ask for it, let alone ask for it! ”

Liu Ru's words have been revealed in her true feelings, Fang Yuan is completely clear about her thoughts, if she says that she is not moved by Fang Yuan at all, it is false, but if she is moved, it does not mean that she can accept it.

In this era, it is a shame for a good family woman to divorce and remarry, and even the royal princess cannot remarry, and must start from the beginning. What's more, Liu Ru is still under the identity of Mrs. Qian, and Fang Yuan is together, according to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, it should be immersed in the pig cage.

Fang Yuan, as a traverser, can not care about the world's eyes, but Liu Ru can't not care, she has now been whitewashed from a woman in the Qinglou to a woman from a good family, so she would rather be single than accept Fang Yuan, and then return to the situation of being scolded by thousands of people.

As she said in her heart, what Fang Yuan gave, she didn't dare to ask for it, and she couldn't ask for it!

Fang Yuan's heart twitched in pain, his eyes closed slightly, and his hands clenched into fists. If she is forcibly locked up in Canglang Pavilion, what is the difference between such a willow and a walking corpse?

After a long time, the tenderness in his heart prevailed, Fang Yuan sighed and said, "Okay, good, Sister Liu will temporarily live in Canglang Pavilion tonight, these days, I will let Sister Liu go to find another place to live, and then arrange a livelihood for Sister Liu." ”

Seeing that he finally softened his mouth, Liu Ru wiped away his tears, and saluted Ying Ying, who was grateful, "Brother Fang, thank you!" ”

Fang Yuan said to Hu Qi, "Jin Yiwei, go home!" ”

In the carriage back to Canglang Pavilion, Fang Yuan and Liu Ru sat opposite each other, both of them without saying a word.

Liu Ru suddenly asked, "Brother Fang, what do you think about this peace talk?" ”

Fang Yuan was shocked by her, and said casually, "There's nothing to talk about, it's just a matter of delaying the start of the war." ”

Liu Ru said again, "Brother Fang, Zheng Zhilong is really here for peace talks. ”

Fang Yuan looked at her, smiled and said, "Zheng Zhilong is holding peace talks on the one hand, and he is also sending a fleet to the north on the other hand, this is also a sincere peace talk?" Hehe! ”

Liu Ru said solemnly, "As far as I know, it was not Zheng Zhilong who sent the fleet north, but Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Sen. ”

Zheng Sen is the future Zheng Chenggong, Liu Ru actually provided such an important information about the Zheng family, Fang Yuan was interested at this time, and hurriedly asked, "Is there a difference between Zheng Sen and Zheng Zhilong?" ”

Liu Ru said unhurriedly, "I have been in Fujian for a year, and the situation of the Zheng family is still clear. Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Sen's father and son's strategy is still different, Zheng Zhilong's mind is to land and surrender, while Zheng Sen wants not to land and divide overseas. ”

Fang Yuan nodded thoughtfully, Zheng Zhilong's thoughts, the history after that had already been verified. Zheng Zhilong just wanted to go ashore and seek an official position in the imperial court, whether this imperial court was the Ming Dynasty or the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Zheng Sen, on the contrary, did not land and became a warlord on one side, regardless of whether this court was the Ming Dynasty or the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

It is true that Zheng Sen is a national hero in recovering Taiwan, but he is far from patriotic. At least in Fang Yuan's view, Zheng Sen's subsequent performance was that of a warlord who relied on his naval superiority to seize Taiwan and confront the mainland.

There is resistance to the Qing Dynasty, and if you can't regain your sight, then say another matter.

Although Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he was always on guard against Emperor Han Xian, at least he also placed Emperor Han Xian on the emperor's altar. Although Dong Zhuo was chaotic and changed the emperor as he wanted, he at least set up a living emperor of the Han Dynasty. These two people, throughout the ages, there is no history book that recognizes that the two are loyal and patriotic.

On the other hand, looking at Zheng Sen's actions, he would rather support a Yongli Emperor who was far away in Guangxi and could not be beaten by eight poles as orthodox. And Zhu Yihai, the king of the prison state Lu who was running around to resist the Qing Dynasty, was exiled by Zheng Sen to drink wind in Kinmen, and finally died in Kinmen. But all the living princes of the Ming Dynasty clan have no place to live in the territory under the jurisdiction of Zheng Sen and Zheng Jing.

The Zheng family can really succeed in opposing the Qing Dynasty, and it is the Zheng family who is the emperor, not the Ming Dynasty clan.

Such a Zheng regime that intends to secede Taiwan, but is praised by history books as a loyal monarch and patriotic, Fang Yuan really can't understand. If Zheng Sen's standards can be regarded as loyal and patriotic, then Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo are all loyal ministers, and Fang Yuan, who carefully cultivated the success of King Yong and King Wuyue, is a loyal minister comparable to Zhuge Liang.

Seeing that Fang Yuan was silent, Liu Ru said again, "Brother Fang, among the Zheng family brothers, Zheng Zhilong wants to go ashore, while Zheng Zhifeng and Zheng Sen, including Shi Fu, the commander of the sailors, all support not landing and separating overseas. Zheng Zhibao, the envoy this time, was a neutral faction that could not be offended by either side, so he was sent to negotiate peace. ”

Fang Yuan also knew from the historical trend that the Zheng group supported the secession of overseas and accounted for the vast majority, so after Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, he immediately betrayed his relatives and left. Zheng Sen, Zheng Zhifeng, Zheng Zhibao, Shi Fu, and Shi Lang all drew a line with it.

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong was already alone, the Manchu Qing Dynasty directly killed this abandoned son who was abandoned by the Zheng group.

In other words, even if Fang Fang in front of him could have reached a peace agreement with the envoy sent by Zheng Zhilong, in fact, this peace agreement was also a piece of waste paper. Zheng Sen, as well as other powerful factions of the Zheng Group, would never allow a force that could challenge the Zheng Group's maritime hegemony to appear, which would almost mean a catastrophe for the Zheng Group that wanted to divide overseas.

What's more, all the financial resources of the Zheng Group are smuggling, as well as the protection fee for overseas trade. If Fang Yuan was divided, the Zheng family would have a part less. If the Zheng Group lacks this financial resource, how can it support the First Fleet of the East with more than 500 warships?

Whether Zheng Zhilong wants to go ashore and reconcile or not does not matter, if he can represent the Zheng Group's route of separating overseas, he is the leader of the Zheng Group. If he tries to go against this line, all the powerful will find an excuse to remove him from the position of leader.

All the father-son affection is all nonsense in the face of the political interests of the group.

However, the important information provided by Liu Ru this time can be said to be quite timely, at least it made Fang Yuan clear about the strategic policy of conquest of the Zheng Group in the future. Zheng Zhilong, who doesn't have much ambition, can actually force surrender with both soft and hard, while Zheng Sen, Zheng Zhifeng and other ambitious factions can only seek peace by force, and there is no room for surrender.

Fang Yuan gratitatively grabbed her delicate hand and kissed it gently, "Sister Liu, this information you provided is too important, I really want to thank you." ”

Liu Ru hurriedly retracted his hand, and said solemnly, "Brother Fang, I don't want to owe you favors, you don't need to thank or anything, you don't have to hate me in your heart, a stubborn woman who doesn't know the times." ”

Fang Yuan sighed, closed his eyes and began to recuperate, with the news provided by Liu Rus, he was already confident about what strategy to adopt in the negotiation with Zheng Zhibao.
