Wang Pu raised his head, looked at Chen Yuanyuan and Liu Ruis in amazement, and said, "Madam? Miss Liu? ”

"If my sister has something to say, I want to talk to Xianggong." Chen Yuanyuan smiled at Wang Pu Yanran and said, "Then you can talk about business, and the concubine will go and prepare supper for you." ”

After that, Chen Yuanyuan walked away.

Wang Pu spread his hands and asked Liu Rushi, "I don't know what Miss Liu has to say to you?" ”

Liu Ruying bowed down and said in a coquettish voice: "The little girl is here to ask for the lives of millions of living beings in Jiangbei. ”

"Ask for the lives of millions of living beings in Jiangbei?" Wang Pu was stunned and said, "Where do you start with this?" ”

Liu said: "The new army of the Yanziji battalion is gathering at Puzikou, if the little woman is not mistaken, the general must be going to make a move on Liu Zeqing in Huai'an, right?" ”

Wang Pu's face sank and asked, "Miss Liu, how do you know?" ”

Liu Ru is really not wrong, Wang Puzhen plans to send troops, but the object to deal with is really Liu Zeqing of Huai'an, Liu Zeqing, an old brute, not only gave up Shandong, but also preyed on the people, this scourge is not eliminated, Huai'an and even the people of Jiangbei will not be able to live in peace.

Liu Ru hurriedly said: "The general doesn't have to be suspicious, no one has leaked military information, the little woman guessed." ”

"Guess?" Wang Pu's heart sank, and he asked in a condensed voice, "Why don't you guess Gao Jie?" ”

Liu said: "General Gao Jie's command of the army is quite strict, and the little woman is definitely not expected to be him." ”

Wang Pu said: "Then what Miss Yiliu means, shouldn't Liu Zeqing crusade?" ”

Liu said: "Liu Zeqing gave up the whole province of Shandong without a war, and he was in the fish and meat township, oppressing the people, although he deserved to die for the crime, but the general had not thought about it, once Liu Zeqing's army was defeated, a large number of stragglers would become bandits, and it would be the innocent people in Jiangbei who would suffer at that time." ”

Wang Pu frowned and said, "This is also something that can't be helped. ”

Liu said: "Why didn't the general try to change his strategy? ”

"Change strategy?" Wang Pudao, "What strategy?" ”

Liu said: "The general's strategy against the White Lotus Sect. ”

"You mean divisions disintegrate?" Wang Pu shook his head and said, "It's not easy to talk about, Liu Zeqing is not the White Lotus Sect, he has been a general soldier in Shandong for many years, and he has a deep foundation in the Shandong army, how can it be so easy to divide and disintegrate?" ”

Wang Pu has not thought about division and disintegration, if he can really solve Liu Zeqing without blood, it can not only preserve the military strength of the Ming Dynasty, but also save the people of Jiangbei from the suffering of swords, it can be said that he kills two birds with one stone, why not Wang Pu? The problem is that it's far from that simple.

Liu said: "As far as the little woman knows, Liu Zeqing has an uncle Liu Konghe, a nephew Liu Hongji, who is a decent person, and he is quite unimpressed with what Liu Zeqing did, but Liu Zeqing is powerful in the army, and the two are helpless. ”

"Liu Konghe, Liu Hongji?" Wang Pu said in a condensed voice, "Miss Liu, how do you know that there are these two people in the Shandong army?" How did you know that these two people are decent people and are not the same as Liu Zeqing? ”

"Ugh." Liu Ru sighed softly, a trace of resentment flashed over her fair-skinned pink face, and said in a low voice, "The general has forgotten that the little girl has been in the party for many years, and the people in this party are the most mixed, and the news that can be heard is naturally varied and all-encompassing. ”

Wang Pu said: "But after all, this is just hearsay, unconfirmed." ”

Liu said: "In this case, the little woman still has a strategy that can help the general divide and disintegrate Liu Zeqing's Shandong army." ”

"Oh?" Wang Pu said happily, "Let's hear it." ”

Liu Ru said: "The crown prince will soon hold an enthronement ceremony, the general can invite the general soldiers of each town to come to Nanjing with his cronies in the name of observing the ceremony, and then add officials to the cronies of the general soldiers of each town, and then add a false title to Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, and Zuo Liangyu to stay in Nanjing, and only send their generals back to lead the army, won't the purpose of division and disintegration be achieved?" ”

Liu Ru is hand is indeed clever, after raising Liu Zeqing, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Zuo Liangyu and others, their cronies will have the opportunity to lead the army alone, for the military generals of Rong Ma Xuan, the biggest dream is undoubtedly to lead an army alone and conquer the world!

As long as Wang Pu delegated his military power and let the capable and ambitious generals under the general army of the four towns lead his troops, they would be more than happy to accept such an outcome.

In addition, after the four people of Liu Zeqing were killed, the army of the four towns lost its backbone, and it was bound to be decomposed into a number of military groups with relative reading power, and the strength of each military group was much weaker, and it was impossible for each other to be monolithic, and there would inevitably be such and such frictions, and at this time, Wang Pu would be able to control the army of the four towns by taking advantage of mediation.

But there must be a premise for all this, that is, Liu Zeqing and they must be willing to come to Nanjing, if they don't come, Wang Pu will have nothing to do with them.

Wang Pu said: "What if they don't come? ”

Liu said: "Then the general will try to win their trust and let them come with confidence." ”

While the two were talking, the young lady suddenly came in and said, "General, there is an urgent letter." ”

"Urgent letter?" Wang Pu asked casually, "Where did you come from?" ”

Nen Niang said: "Huai'an Liu Zeqing." ”

"Liu Zeqing!?" Wang Pu hurriedly said, "Bring it quickly." ”

After reading the letter in a hurry, Wang Pu couldn't help but frown, and said to Liu: "Miss Liu, I am worried that I can't let Liu Zeqing come to Nanjing, no, this guy will send it to the door by himself, hehe." ”

As he spoke, Wang Pu handed the letter to Liu Rushi.

Liu Ru read the letter but his face changed slightly, this letter is actually Liu Zeqing's invitation letter, saying that he received King Yong, King Ding and Princess Changping in Huai'an Mansion, and is personally leading troops to escort to Nanjing, and at the same time mercilessly betrayed the Donglin Restoration Society, dictated by Zhou Bi, written by Qian Qianyi, and signed by Zhang Pu, Lu Daqi and others.

Liu Ru knew that the people of the Donglin Restoration Society were not good birds, but she still didn't expect that they would even dare to kill the prince for their own interests!

"General." Liu Ru asked, "After Liu Zeqing comes to Nanjing, what are you going to do with him?" ”

"What to do?" A sly smile flashed in Wang Pu's eyes, and he said, "General Liu has made meritorious contributions in escorting King Yong, King Ding and the princess into Beijing, exposing the ulterior criminal conspiracy of the Donglin Restoration Society. ”

Liu Ru heard Leng Sensen's murderous intentions from Wang Pu's banter, and deliberately kept Liu Zeqing from killing, apparently in order to deceive Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo and Zuo Liangyu to Nanjing.

"Miss Liu." Wang Pu looked at Liu Ruis and said sincerely, "Don't go, stay by my side." ”

Liu Ru is fair face couldn't help but flush, and protested: "Who does the general think of the little girl?" ”

"Well, Miss Liu, don't get me wrong." Wang Pu hurriedly said, "I don't mean what you think, I want to ask you to stay and be my military secretary." ”

"Military Secretary?" Liu Ru was puzzled and said, "What is a military secretary?" ”

"Well, this ......," Wang Pu scratched his head and explained, "almost like joining the army." ”

"Join the army?" Liu said, "How can there be a woman in the army who joins the army?" ”

Wang Pu smiled and said, "If Miss Liu agrees, won't there be women in the army to join the army?" ”

Liu Ru turned her beautiful eyes and said in a low voice: "That little woman has to go back and think about it." ”

"Hehe, there's no hurry." Wang Pu smiled, "Miss Liu has time to think about it slowly. ”

■■■

The next day, the governor was in charge.

Wang Pu put the urgent letter sent by Liu Zeqing in front of Sun Chuanting's case, and attached a secret letter from the Donglin Restoration Society instructing Liu Zeqing to intercept and kill the prince.

After reading these two letters, Sun Chuanting's face was so angry that his face turned blue and trembled.

Sun Chuanting originally had a good impression of the people of the Donglin Restoration Society, and last time Liu Ru alluded to the fact that the people of the Donglin Restoration Society were likely to take extraordinary measures for their own interests, Sun Chuanting was still skeptical, but he never thought that the people of the Donglin Restoration Society would really dare to intercept and kill the prince halfway!

"Hateful, hateful!" Sun Chuanting said angrily, "His heart can be punished, and his deeds can be punished!" Take people, hand over these two letters to Yin Wei Daben of Yingtianfu, and let him take people immediately, arrest those who should be caught, kill those who should be killed, and never tolerate them! ”

"Catch? Kill? Wang Pu frowned and said, "Dad, do you want to set off a bloody storm in Jiangnan, and you want the entire Jiangnan scholars to stand on the opposite side of us?" ”

Sun Chuanting said disapplauded: "With these few clowns who jump off the beam, they are also worthy of leading Jiangnan scholars?" ”

"Dad, they're not jumping clowns, they're the leaders of the Donglin Restoration Society!" Wang Pu said in a deep voice, "As long as they ascend to the heights and shout, the nearly 10,000 Confucian students scattered in Jiangnan will respond in droves, and at that time, only the voice of the Donglin Restoration Society will fill the entire Jiangnan, and no one will believe our explanation." ”

Sun Chuanting shook the two letters in his hand, and said excitedly: "Jiangnan scholars should always distinguish between right and wrong, right?" These people dare to plot to intercept and kill the prince, what else in this world they can't do? Such chaotic ministers and thieves, the old man doesn't believe that there are still people who will protect them. ”

"There are two skins in the human mouth, both the front and the back are reasonable!" Wang Pu said coldly, "When the time comes, they say that these two letters were forged by us, how do you explain them?" And how to explain it? You are the governor of Zhejiang, I am the governor of Nanjing, either a feudal official or a general with heavy troops, but the Donglin Fushe is a Confucian student with no official or position, who do you say the people will believe? Don't forget that Donglin Restoration Society has extremely deep connections in Jiangnan, not to mention that people are sympathetic to the weak, and when the time comes, the people will only believe in Donglin Restoration Society, because they are a vulnerable group! ”

Sun Chuanting said awe-inspiringly: "Then is this matter just settled?" ”

"Of course you can't just leave it at that!" Wang Pu said and picked up the two letters, and said in a deep voice, "But these two things, if we make them public, then they are worthless waste paper, and they will force the Donglin Restoration Society to completely tear our faces, but if we keep these two letters secret, they can become a sharp weapon to blackmail the Donglin Restoration Society!" ”

Sun Chuanting said: "What do you think? ”

Wang Pudao: "It's very simple, use these two secret letters to force several leaders of the Donglin Restoration Society to submit, let the huge connections of the Donglin Restoration Society in Jiangnan be used by us, and when we build our own connections, we will go back and settle this old account with the Donglin Restoration Society!" ”

Sun Chuanting said: "Will they give in? ”

Wang Pu said with a cruel smile: "Donglin Fushe, these people, it is really difficult to deal with it, it is easy to deal with it, it is actually easy to deal with it, the key is that you have to find their weaknesses, as long as you grasp their weaknesses, you can firmly control them in the palm of your hand, so that they are willing to do things for us." ”

"Weakness?" Sun Chuanting said, "What is the weakness of the Donglin Restoration Society? ”

"These two letters are the biggest weakness of Donglin Restoration Society!" Wang Pu said, "The people of Donglin Fushe cherish their reputation, as long as these two letters are not made public, they must always be careful, worried that if we are unhappy one day, we will publish this letter to the public, so they will be ruined, so they have to endure everywhere, everything is accommodating, and when they get to the court, they have to look at the faces of you and my father and son." ”

Sun Chuanting looked at Wang Pu in some surprise, and said in a condensed voice: "Stinky boy, I didn't expect your scheming to be quite deep?" ”

"Dad, don't worry." Wang Pu smiled, "No matter how scheming my son is, he won't use it against you." ”

"You dare." Sun Chuanting feigned anger and said, "If you dare to betray Lao Tzu, be careful that Lao Tzu will break your dog's leg." ”

Wang Pu smiled, and then said: "Actually, there is no way to kill this group of people from the Donglin Restoration Society for the time being, seeing that the prince is about to ascend the throne, the list of hundred officials of the new dynasty should also be drawn up, but looking at Jiangnan, how many people can be called you and my confidants?" Can these few people control the government? ”

"That's right." Sun Chuanting nodded, and said, "Speaking of the list of officials of the new dynasty, the old man has already drawn up a batch of candidates and positions, so it is better for you to take a look first." ”
