"Mr. Xia can be a secret envoy, it must be some agreement reached between Qian Gong and Ma Gong." Yu Guozhen said slowly: "I don't know what the two of them have in mind. ”

"The envoy is Ruan Dacheng, and the lower officials are here to explore Yu Gongzhen." Xia Yunyi glanced up at Yu Guozhen: "Duke Yu, do you really have to be self-reliant on behalf of Ming, and you don't want to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"The person I am loyal to is not a country with one family and one surname, but a 4,000-year-old inheritance of China, can Mr. Xia understand this?"

Xia Yunyi nodded, and shook his head again: "The first emperor has not lost his morality, and he has only just ascended the throne today, so he should not be the king of the dead country." ”

"First Emperor...... You mean Chongzhen? ”

Yu Guozhen knew in his heart that compared to the positive envoy Ruan Dacheng on the surface, this secret former envoy Xia Yunyi was probably more critical.

Moreover, the rebellion of Xia Yunyi and Xia Wanchun's father and son also had a deep impact on him. Unlike Huang Zongxi, who is full of Donglin supremacy, these two are full of Ming supremacy.

If Donglin is supreme, he will put the interests of one party and one faction above everything, and even above the interests of the country and the nation, and in order to maintain the status of his own faction, he will not hesitate to do some things that will leave his name for a thousand years.

Infamy, of course.

Huang Zongxi himself may not be like this, but there is no shortage of such figures in the Donglin Party.

But Xia Yunyi is different, any leader will appreciate an absolutely loyal figure like Xia Yunyi, even if he is in the position of his opponent.

"When the first emperor was killed, you had the strength to save him, and you had already occupied Qingdao at that time. Division: Jinan Mansion...... He even sent people into Tianjin. But you sit back and watch......"

"Wait a minute, there is one thing you probably don't know yet, Chongzhen did not die in the capital, he was rescued by me, and now he is on Tamna Island."

Xia Yunyi was about to accuse Yu Guozhen of the "responsibility" for sitting back and watching Chongzhen's death, but Yu Guozhen's words after beating him made him stunned. After a long while, he said in a trembling voice, "You...... You mean......"

"Yes, I mean. Emperor Chongzhen did not die. Yu Guozhen looked at Xia Yunyi's face happily, and whenever he used this news to suppress those who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty, he would feel especially happy.

Especially those who think that his wolf ambition is to sit idly by and ignore Chongzhen's death. Every time he said this, he was dumbfounded.

"Really...... Really? ”

"Do you think I need to lie to you?" Yu Guozhen squinted slightly and looked at him: "It just so happens that I will also discuss with him in person about the future affairs of Chongzhen Tianzi, he has been resting for three years, and it is time to come out to play some role - do you want to go with me to Tamna to see him?" ”

"Yes, naturally, I have told His Majesty the Holy Face, if it is a fake, it will definitely not be able to hide it from me!"

This time. Xia Yunyi didn't even choose to say anything, and said everything he thought in his heart.

"The news that Chongzhen is still there may not be good news for the small court of Jinling, and in order to prevent the Fu King of Jinling from doing anything stupid, I have been hiding this matter. I hope you can also keep it a secret for the time being. Yu Guozhen said this, and smiled: "But I don't have to keep it secret for too long...... Oh, and is Ling Lang going with you too? ”

"Naturally, naturally I want to take my son to witness the holy face together."

"If that's the case, I'll invite Ling Lang." Yu Guozhen gestured to the guards.

Among the people who were originally sitting in the room looking at each other, Wang Fuzhi just opened his mouth. I heard the door knock again, and the guard came to Xia Wanchun and said, "Mr. Xiao Xia, the commander of my family and Ling Zun are invited." ”

Xia Wanchun was already uneasy, so he said goodbye to the crime, but the guard did not leave, and after Xia Wanchun left, he said to Gu Yanwu: "Mr. Yanwu, Mr. Xia's father and son are invited to Tamluo as guests for the commander of my family, and it will take more than ten days to come back, you can talk to their relatives and friends." ”

Of course, Gu Yanwu knew that there would be no danger for them to follow Yu Guozhen, so he promised to come down immediately. Huang Zongxi said angrily: "Why did you take away the Xia family's father and son, but abandon us without asking? Yu Jimin has really become a lone husband, proud of the scholars, and not the appearance of the master! ”

"Whether the master is the master or not, it's not up to you to have the final say." Gu Yanwu laughed, he had an excellent relationship with Huang Zongxi, but listening to him repeatedly attack Yu Guozhen, even if he had a good temper, he would have a seizure, not to mention that Gu Yanwu was originally a person with character: "Didn't the commander of Fang Cai say it, if you are not the emperor, see if there is any credit to the people, see if this credit is recognized by the people, as for you, now there are 20,000 people in Huaxia, and your opinion is only one of these 20,000!" ”

"How can this be justified, how can it be justified! The country should be governed by a gentleman, how can a villain be allowed to do so? ”

"The gentlemen you are talking about, I have heard some people say that they are the hemorrhoids of the father-in-law of the Great Interior, and they are all stinky things that can't pull out the shit monster pit."

"Gu Yanwu, if you say this, Huang wants to break off his friendship with the cutting table!"

"I can't listen to the slightest criticism, you are Cai Huan's public avoidance of medical treatment, you are such a friend, don't do it, break off friendship!"

"Why can't Huang listen to the slightest criticism?"

"You ......"

"Okay, okay, let's stop arguing...... Ahem, I'm arguing with you both so much that your heads are dizzy! In the end, it was Wang Fuzhi who came forward to mediate: "That's it, Taichong, we won't see Yu Guozhen in a short time, since that's the case, it's better to look around under his rule, he doesn't appoint Donglin, if he can govern the world well, it means that he is right, if he governs a mess, he can also take this as an example next time, and criticize him!" ”

This is right, Huang Zongxi stopped arguing, just looked at Gu Yanwu and snorted, Gu Yanwu also snorted, and then sneered: "I'm afraid that Huang Taichong will avoid medical treatment again, and he won't admit his mistake even if he knows it's wrong." ”

"Where is Huang such a character, Huang is not you Gu Yanwu!"

As the two spoke, they began to argue again.

Not to mention the dispute between Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu, after Yu Guozhen handed over the matter of Wenxuan to Gu Yanwu this time, he led Xia Yunyi, Xia Wanchun and his son to leave Qingdao and rush to Tamluo Island the next day.

At this time, it is already the end of the year. The north wind over the East China Sea was very strong, so the boat was much more bumpy than usual. When he arrived at the port of Tamluo Yicheng, Xia Yunyi was still fine, Xia Wanchun had vomited so much that he couldn't stand it, but seeing Yu Guozhen was acting as usual, Xia Wanchun couldn't help but say admiringly: "Brother Yu is really good, such a bumpy sea." How many times a year do you have to go through it? ”

"It's nothing, now the speed of steamships is fast, and it takes a day and a half to get from Qingdao to Tamna. It was the real trouble at the beginning, I went to Xinxiang for the first time, and I was floating at sea for three months. And the first time to transport people from Nanzhili to Xinxiang, it took nearly four months! ”

Although Xia Wanchun is young, he has a lot of knowledge, and his thinking is very agile and has a certain depth, so Yu Guozhen admires him very much, and the two have been familiar with each other for more than a day, and they call each other brothers. It's just that Yu Guozhen and Xia Yunyi are also equal friends, so the generations are a little messy.

"This Tamna Island is also the homeland of China, and it was recovered by you, Brother Yu?"

"Huh. Sort of, the big husband should be like this, how can you let those small countries bully, plunder my fishermen today, and occupy my outlying islands tomorrow. If the clowns who jump off the beam are killed, they will be killed, even if they don't kill, they should be rewarded with a stick! ”

"This ...... Mr. Jimin, I don't know when the old man will see the saint! Hearing that his son was pulled over by Yu Guozhen after only taking the same boat once, Xia Yunyi was somewhat embarrassed, and Yu Guozhi's infectious power couldn't even bear a person like him who was nearly half a hundred years old. Not to mention a teenager like Xia Wanchun.

"A carriage will come soon to take you two there, I still have something to do, so I won't go first." Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "Don't worry, Chongzhen is very free here, and I don't want to leak his news, because I'm afraid that someone will disturb his freedom." ”

As Yu Guozhen said, after a while, a carriage carried them to the outskirts of Yicheng. In the past three years, Yicheng has also built a lot of new buildings, but under the intentional control of Jiang'an, it basically did not develop to the villa where Chongzhen lived, so they went out of the city and traveled nearly a mile before arriving at the villa area where Chongzhen lived.

Although Yu Guozhen said that he was not embarrassed by Chongzhen, Xia Yunyi didn't believe it in his heart. But when he saw this villa group from afar, Xia Yunyi couldn't help but be a little surprised: if these villas are really for Chongzhen to live in, then it is not bad.

This villa complex was originally only six, but now it has increased to seventeen, in the past few years, there are life and death, in general, there are more life than death, like Chongzhen's concubines have added five princes and princesses to him.

When Xia Yunyi walked into the courtyard surrounded by a low wall, he saw a man squatting on the edge of the wall, digging the dirt with a shovel in his hand, behind him, several children were following, and a graceful girl was standing with a towel in her hand. Xia Yunyi looked at it at a glance, and felt that the squatting person was familiar, he watched the other party skillfully shovel the dead grass on the ground with a shovel, and then bury it in the mud, and couldn't help but call: "Excuse me, may I ask ......?"

Originally, he just felt that the other party was familiar, but the other party looked up in surprise, and then he only said the word "excuse me", and he couldn't say anything else.

Squatting on the ground, like a gardener, it turned out to be His Majesty Daming Chongzhen!

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty! ”

"Are you...... I remember you, the commander of Changle County, Fujian, who was in the top seven in the evaluation of the officials, so I saw you in the palace. Summer...... Xia Yunyi, the word Yi Zhong, right? ”

Chongzhen saw Xia Yunyi, thought about it and remembered his identity, smiled and beckoned to Kun Xing, who was standing beside him, Kun Xing held a towel, and Chongzhen wiped the mud on his hands.

At this time, Xia Yunyi had already knelt at his feet, almost crying.

Although Yu Guozhen had already told him, he still couldn't help it, and only felt pleasantly surprised. At the beginning, he was received by Chongzhen as a district and county commander, and the grace and glory in it really made him feel nostalgic. The reason why he is so loyal to Chongzhen and Daming is precisely because he feels that he has received the grace of knowing and cannot repay him unless he dies.

"How did you get here...... Is it that Yu Jimin is back again, that guy loves to play tricks on people and scare you out! Chongzhen stretched out his hand to help Xia Yunyi up: "Don't kneel, don't kneel, it's a happy event to see me, what are you crying about!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Xia Yunyi wiped his tears, only to feel that this Chongzhen Tianzi seemed to be more energetic than when he first met, he saw his son who was in a daze on the side, and hurriedly pulled over: "This is a minister, a dog, an animal, don't knock on Your Majesty yet!" ”

Xia Wanchun immediately bowed down.

He was still a little confused in his heart: if this is the Son of Heaven, why does he act freely and look quite pampered? (To be continued)
