Hearing this, the ministers were dumbfounded.

Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, was also a little confused, but he felt that this was reasonable, after all, it was only a good document to say that he had wiped out tens of thousands of Qing troops and beheaded a prince, which was not convincing.

Although Guo Zhiqi hates Ma Jixiang and has trouble again, he can't oppose it, otherwise no matter whether the victory in Guangdong is true or not, if someone with a heart plants him and Guangdong to support each other in front of the emperor and form a party in private, he will not be able to get rid of it. After Sun Kewang's defeat, the court purged many courtiers who were close to Sun Kewang, even if these courtiers were out of public interest and wanted to rely on Sun Kewang to prosper the Ming Dynasty, but in the eyes of the emperor, it was not like that.

Guo Zhiqi couldn't object to this matter out of suspicion, Yongli heard Ma Jixiang's words, but his spirits perked up, he looked at Xu Yingyuan, who didn't understand what the situation was, and asked him in a harmonious voice: "Xu Qing, can you report success like last time?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, after the victory of Chaohui, Xingping Bo ordered the minister to come to the court to report the victory, the minister came in a hurry, and the Guangxi flood road was not passable, so the minister came in disguise, so he could not bring a large number of heads. However, the minister brought the puppet Qing prince Jidu Great Seal and Wang Qi. ”

In order to hurry up, Xu Yingyuan took the official road in Guangxi, and the light car was simple, and he really wanted a big car and a small car to load a bunch of heads over, but I was afraid that the Guangxi officials would have to suspect if they didn't suspect it. At the beginning, Guo Shao and the others came to report the victory, but the number was small, and they didn't know that Guangxi had been occupied by the Qing army, so they brought it. The road was indeed intercepted by the Qing army, if it weren't for Liang Shuanghu and their bravery, the Qing army was a small team, and they were afraid that they would be intercepted halfway.

"Oh? The great seal and royal banner of the pseudo-prince? ”

Yongli's face twitched, and the people who came brought Jidu Dayin and Wang Qi both, so presumably Chaohui Dajie must be true, otherwise where did Zhou Shixiang go to find out the big seal of the prince of the court. Even if the battle report is still untrue, just with this prince's seal, it is also a great achievement.

"That's not fake, Xingping's success should be true."

Yongli was a little unhappy, the last thing he wanted to do, but it came true step by step, which only made him feel uncomfortable. It's not that he really thinks that Guangdong Zhou Shixiang is disloyal, but he just feels a little reluctant to give up the title of the prince. When he was crowned Sun Kewang as the king of Qin, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were both feudal county kings, so they were forced to be helpless and ask for help. When he arrived in Kunming, Sun Kewang's army pressed the border, and then he was promoted to Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo as princes, and he actually pointed to the two of them to fight Sun Kewang for him. Compared with the prince's title, Yongli still values his life more seriously, and he really threatens his life, and the prince also says that he will be sealed. However, now that Zhou Shixiang has not threatened his life, it is really difficult for this prince to make up his mind to seal it. But for such a great achievement, if he is not rewarded, how will Yongli face the subjects of the world, and how will he face those generals and people with lofty ideals who work for his Zhu family?

Guangdong brought Jidu Dayin and Wang Qi over, and Guo Zhiqi's heart fell immediately. No matter how thick-skinned Ma Jixiang is, it can't be said that Wang Qi and the Great Seal can't be counted, he stood there, and the emperor didn't make it clear, which was quite embarrassing.

Guangdong victory, how to reward is a matter for the imperial court, how the emperor sealed, Jin King Li Dingguo has no opinion. Since the emperor was moved from Anlong to Kunming, he has always kept the courtiers and did not interfere in the affairs of the court, which is quite similar to Li Chengdong back then. It's a pity that such a high wind and bright festival in exchange for the chaos of the court, all kinds of villains filled the court, at this critical juncture, the cabinet chief assistant actually asked him to lead the army in front of the Qing army to fight a decisive battle, but the court abandoned Kunming and fled to western Yunnan, I really don't know such a mediocre idea, how did he Ma Jixiang come up with it! How could the emperor have to use this person who is said to be killable in the whole dynasty as the first assistant!

Guangdong is a great victory, the Taiping army is so capable of fighting, if it enters Guangxi to participate in the war, the Qing army from Guangxi to Guizhou will inevitably return to the army, so that their pressure can also be reduced.

Li Dingguo didn't have time to deal with Ma Jixiang, who was dazed, and was only thinking about what Guo Zhiqi had just said about the transfer of the king of Guangdong soldiers, but he didn't notice that there was no sound in the palace. The courtiers were looking at the emperor, and the emperor was looking at the courtiers, very quiet.

Ma Jixiang was slapped on the spot again, no matter how thick-skinned he was, it was impossible for him to follow the emperor's wishes, but it was as difficult for him to open his mouth to ask for the king of Guangdong Zhou Shixiang as it was to ask Yongli to open his mouth to make Zhou Shixiang king.

Ma Jixiang refused to come forward, the ministers looked at themselves again, Yongli smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that this matter could not be delayed, and was about to open his mouth to point Guo Zhiqi, wanting to fulfill his request for the king, Xu Yingyuan remembered something again, and said: "Your Majesty, Xing Pingbo has another title to play." ”

"Take it to me."

Yongli waved his hand and motioned for Wang Kun to bring Zhou Shixiang's inscription. After opening it, I saw Zhou Shixiang playing: "The ministers are in the poor country, their parents, wives and children are all captured, and the remains are gone." The way of humanity is to stop staying loyal to the king! With the work of the end, the ministers received the grace of the saint and accumulated the reward. And the monarch's father is in danger in the west, how dare the minister forget it!

The minister is now in Guangzhou, pillowing Ge Xi Rong, and preparing the grain, that is, sending all the troops of Guangdong to the west to conquer Guizhou and Guizhou, in order to relieve the difficulties of Yunnan and Beijing, and to relieve the atmosphere of thieves. However, please drive the car for the time being, and when the soldiers arrive, then attack with His Royal Highness Jin internally and externally, and they will be able to destroy the ugly group in the three rounds. Then the troops went north to take Nanjing, then the fifteen years of filial piety and humiliation were removed, and the emperor's achievements after years of life and gathering were just around the corner. The sincerity of the minister, heaven and earth can be learned! Now when the time of difficulty, the minister asks the emperor to listen to the minister's policy, the minister will not betray the king, and the minister will cry and bow again! ”

Closing the title, Yongli sighed a lot, Zhou Shixiang was still loyal, but after he defeated the Qing army, he wanted to go to Yunnan King Qin immediately, his heart was commendable, and his courage was allowed.

That's it, that's it, as the Son of Heaven, do I really want to give up the title of the prince!

Yongli got up slowly, but he was determined to reward Zhou Shixiang with the prince, so he immediately led troops to King Qin. No, His Royal Highness Xu Yingyuan saw the emperor get up, but he said: "Your Majesty, Xingping Bo also wants the ministers to ask the emperor, no matter how critical the current affairs are, the emperor and the court must not retreat to western Yunnan, otherwise the dynasty will die!" Xingping Bo said that if the emperor wants to move to another place, he must be a traitor, and the emperor can order the armor to kill the thief on the spot, so as not to be ruined by this thief! ”

"What?"

Hearing this, Yongli was stunned on the spot, and Ma Jixiang also opened his mouth wide and looked at Xu Yingyuan incredulously.

Li Dingguo, Mu Tianbo, and Fugang were all stunned: how did Zhou Shixiang know that Ma Jixiang wanted the emperor to retreat to western Yunnan? Could it be that Naxiu has the ability to predict the future?

Yongli subconsciously looked at Guo Zhiqi, but found that Guo Zhiqi was also confused, and his expression did not seem to be fake, and the strategy of retreating to western Yunnan was only mentioned by Ma Jixiang today, Guo Zhiqi did not know about it before this, and after the Guangdong Baojie envoy entered the city, he was taken directly to the main hall, Guo Zhiqi had no chance to reveal this matter to him, so this matter is afraid of coincidence.

"Guangdong Xingping has regarded his ministers as traitors! The emperor, the minister is the first assistant, it is the face of the court, Jinxing Ping pointed out that the minister is a traitor, the minister is tolerable, which is unbearable, please ask the emperor to dismiss the post of the first assistant of the minister, and ask the virtuous minister to appoint him! ”

Ma Jixiang trembled with anger, but he came up with the idea of retreating to western Yunnan, so many people heard it, could he still not admit it. That Guangdong Zhou Shixiang didn't pay him tribute, and now he called him a traitor and asked the emperor to kill him, Ma Shoufu couldn't swallow this breath.

Yongli ignored Ma Jixiang, and only asked Xu Yingyuan: "Xingping has nothing to say to me except if he wants me not to go to western Yunnan?" ”

"Xingping Boyan said that if the last resort, the emperor and the court can go to Guangzhou, and with the protection of tens of thousands of soldiers of our Taiping army, the emperor and the court will never be fine!"

After Xu Yingyuan finished speaking, he glanced at Yongli unnoticed, his eyes were quite flickering, but he didn't know if Xingping really told him to say this, or if he said it himself.

"He wants me to go to Guangzhou, and he wants to take tens of thousands of troops to protect me"

Yongli muttered a few words and suddenly laughed out loud. The emperor's laughter made the ministers very confused, and they didn't know why the emperor was laughing. Ma Jixiang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly the big stone in his heart fell to the ground. Wang Kun, who had been waiting by the side and was silent, looked up and glanced at the emperor who had been served by him since he was a child, and then lowered his head again, but sighed secretly in his heart. The emperor's abnormal behavior made Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, also confused, but Guo Zhiqi was faintly uneasy, and the emperor's laughter did not seem to be happy. (To be continued.) )
