Xing Jiamu smiled and said: "It's not strange that you don't know these two people, because they are not celebrities in the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but although they are not celebrities, their family has had celebrities." ”

"This Wu Xiang is Wu Sangui's father, Zu Dashou is Wu Sangui's uncle, and he will also be Yuan Chonghuan's right-hand man in the future, these two people are figures who can influence history, according to the order of historical development, Wu Sangui is still studying hard at home, and has no official position, he will not emerge until next year."

After listening to Xing Jiamu's words, Zhu Changming clapped his hands and applauded: "No wonder Old Xing, you were so excited just now, it turns out that you are killing many birds with one stone." ”

"Contain Nurhachi, restrict Huang Taiji, elevate Yuan Chonghuan, and squeeze out Wu Sangui, so that we can sit back and relax in the northeast, now as long as we get rid of those rebel leaders in the northwest, and then suppress the mob that has lost their leaders, and turn around, we can concentrate on dealing with Nurhachi, and then my Daming Jiangshan will not be far from the day of Zhongxing."

Seeing that Zhu Changming became more and more excited, and even a little carried away, Xing Jiamu had to let him sober up, "Although this arrangement is seamless, we still have many practical issues to consider, first of all, people, who to send to the northeast to supervise the army, who to send to lead the team to the northwest to carry out tasks, and who will fill the vacancies in the court now, have you considered all of this?" ”

"Also, the people who crossed over with us are there now, they've been gone for almost a month, do you really think they're just giving up? We are familiar with history, and they are not ignorant of history, and if they undermine it, it will not be so easy to implement. ”

After listening to Xing Jiamu's words, Zhu Changming fell into deep thought, during this time, he was only busy with these things in front of him, and the few people who came with them had long been forgotten by him.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Changming suddenly got up, bowed deeply to Xing Jiamu and said, "Thank you, Lao Xing." ”

Xing Jiamu smiled and accepted Zhu Changming's worship, not because Xing Jiamu was trusted, but because he deserved it.

Returning to his seat again, Zhu Changming had already put away his excitement and began to humbly ask Xing Jiamu how to proceed with the following matters.

When the two were talking happily, someone outside suddenly came to report that someone from the palace had arrived.

Zhu Changming glanced at Xing Jiamu, saw Xing Jiamu nodded, and then said, "Please!" ”

After the visitor came in, he didn't bow down, but directly took out a letter, and Lu Zhiyong next to him saw that the person who came didn't worship, so he was about to step forward and take him down, Zhu Changming stopped: "You don't have to be like him, reward him with two taels of silver, let him leave." ”

The person who came arched his hand and said: "The silver will be free, and the king of my family will reward me, if it's okay, I'll go first." ”

With that, he turned and walked out.

After the person left, Zhu Changming also sent Lu Zhiyong out, opened the letter and read it, and handed it to Xing Jiamu.

Xing Jiamu took the letter, and there were only two short lines on the letter:

At noon tomorrow, in the back garden of King Xin's mansion, a Hongmen banquet will be set up, and I implore Lord Zhu to enjoy the light.

The payment is, Zhu Youzhen.

After reading the letter, Xing Jiamu said: "It seems that this Zhu Youzhen is a little out of breath. ”

Zhu Changming said: "It is inevitable that young people will be a little impetuous. ”

Xing Jiamu said: "Then are you going to go to the banquet?" ”

Zhu Changming said: "Go, why don't you go, not only I want to go, but you also have to go with me, let's go and meet this Zhu Youzhen to see if he is the same as recorded in history, whether he is a material with Daomingjun." ”

Xing Jiamu said: "Do you need to bring someone?" ”

Zhu Changming said: "You don't need to bring someone, just let us go over." ”

Xing Jiamu nodded and said: "That's what I mean, this is the first time we have tried each other, if we bring someone over, in terms of momentum, we will lose first." ”

Zhu Changming said: "I hope he won't let me down." ”

Xing Jiamu said: "I don't think it will disappoint you, by the way, what are you going to talk to him?" ”

Zhu Changming said: "I haven't thought about it yet, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Xing Jiamu said: "My opinion is to be open and honest, without reservation, what to say to him." ”

Zhu Changming was a little surprised and said, "What do you say?" Including where we come from? ”

Xing Jiamu nodded and said, "If you want him to be the emperor, I don't mind if you leak our identity to him." ”

Zhu Changming said: "Wouldn't it be too risky to do this, once we tell him, we will have no way out." ”

Xing Jiamu smiled and said: "We have never retreated, if Zhu Youzhen becomes the emperor, we will not be able to control him like Zhu Youxiao, and if we want him to be obedient at that time, we must come up with something that convinces him." ”

Zhu Changming smiled bitterly and said, "Let Zhu Youzhen be the emperor, don't I bring a tight spell to myself." ”

Xing Jiamu said: "Who made you not the emperor, if you become the emperor yourself, these things will be solved." ”

Zhu Changming sighed and said, "I'm not here, just like you don't like power." ”

Xing Jiamu said: "Don't think about it so much, if you don't let him be the emperor, you have to wait until you see what he is saying, and then we can improvise." ”

Zhu Changming said: "Don't deceive yourself, this month of monopoly has made me see one thing clearly, you and I are not the material for governing the country, and Zhu Youxiao is not, so now Zhu Youzhen is the only candidate, we all know this in our hearts, but we just don't want to admit it." ”

Xing Jiamu smiled bitterly and said: "We are here to change history, but the first important decision we made is still moving forward according to the trajectory of history, which is indeed a bit ironic. ”

Zhu Changming said: "Irony is sarcasm, as you often say, the process is not important, as long as the result is satisfactory." ”

Xing Jiamu said: "Will Zhu Youzhen's result satisfy us?" ”

Zhu Changming said: "Maybe." ”

After the two ended their conversation, Zhu Changming went to He Yue again, and after handing over He Yue's group of special fighters to Lu Zhiyong, he asked Lu Zhiyong to go to Xing Jiamu to get the information, and took these people and He Yue to immediately set off to the northwest to carry out the beheading mission.

After Lu Zhiyong received the task, he began to get busy non-stop, in addition to bringing thirty special soldiers, he also brought seventy brocade guards, he brought these brocade guards not to pretend to be a façade, but to protect He Yue, because he knew that He Yue's position in Zhu Changming's mind, if He Yue had any mistakes, let alone him, it was Wei Changsheng, Zhu Changming would not hesitate to dispose of it.
