Zheng Zhilong did not adopt Yuan Changzhi's Jian, in his opinion, now bowing to Zhu Ping'an, even if he occasionally shows the weakness of his side, he will be mistaken by the world for the Zheng family to be afraid of Zhu Ping'an. In fact, Zhu Ping'an is just a concubine who has no hope of inheriting the unification, and in the future he will be at best a vassal king, the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, and the vassal king is synonymous with house arrest.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong did not hesitate, and immediately ordered all the soldiers and generals, and hundreds of people went to Zhu Ping'an's mansion to ask for someone at night.

Although Yuan Changzhi was anxious, he did not have the ability to influence Zheng Zhilong's thoughts, so he could only immediately send someone to inform Huang Daozhou and the cabinet members. The Yixing Rebellion has just subsided, and the new monarch is about to ascend the throne, and at this time, there must be no more chaos.

Today's Nanjing is destined to spend a sleepless night. The matter of Zhuangyuanlou has flown to every corner of Nanjing like wings. Zhou Zhifan's Jinyi Wei and Ouchi's Dongchang Fanzi were frequently mobilized, and the soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division were on guard along the street, and the attention of the government and the opposition was all attracted to Zhu Ping'an's mansion.

But Zheng Zhilong didn't see Zhu Ping'an's shadow at all, and when he just arrived at the entrance of the streets and alleys of the General Soldier's Mansion, he was blocked by Zhang Dingbian's two hundred cavalry, and the two hundred cavalry were quietly hidden in the night, and the men and horses were silent, but this kind of momentum as steady as Mount Tai made Zheng Zhilong and others have to stop.

"Commander Zhang in front?" Zheng Zhilong temporarily suppressed his anger and asked, "Ben Hou has something important to ask to see Zhu Dashuai!" ”

Zhang Dingbian's mount hissed, walked back and forth in front of the cavalry formation for two years, and saw Zheng Zhilong's appearance clearly, so he bowed his hand, "Master Hou is here, and my handsome family also knows what is going on." The marshal of my family also made it clear that for some trivial things, the Hou Ye did not have to come in person, and insulted the marshal of my family and the immortal death hall to Yuan Chong, committing the crime of great disrespect. The handsome man of my family is a royal family, and to insult him is to insult the Son of Heaven. Therefore, my marshal has punished him in accordance with the laws of the imperial court! ”

After speaking, Zhang Ding waved his hand, but a figure walked out of the crowd behind him, holding a wooden box in his hand, and strode towards Zheng Zhilong.

As soon as he saw the wooden box, Zheng Zhilong's pupils shrank. Zheng Sen and the others stepped forward one after another, wanting to block the future people.

Zheng Zhilong looked at it, but he frowned, waved his hand to rebuke everyone, and the figure got closer and closer, but it turned out to be a young man in green clothes.

Look at the young man, who is only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a wide forehead and big eyes, but his hair has been tied, the hair on his head is neatly bunned, and his face is calm, but there is no trace of panic.

"Who are you?" Zheng Zhilong saw the young man standing still in front of him.

The young man held the wooden box and bowed slightly, "Villain Zhou Chang, right now he is personally with the handsome, and when the handsome general orders, he will dedicate this thing to the Hou Ye!" ”

Zheng Zhilong's eyes narrowed instantly, the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily twice, but his hand pressed his sword. "What's in the box?"

"Return to the Hou Ye! In the box is Xiang Yuanchong's head! Zhou Chang replied in a deep voice.

"Ahh Zheng Zhilong shouted, casually drew his sword, and slashed down. Zhou Chang did not avoid it, and stood in place without moving.

With a "click", everyone exclaimed, the wooden box split into two, and Xiang Yuan Chong's bloody head rolled down from the wooden box.

Zhou Chang reacted quickly, flipped his palm, and had already copied the head's bun in his hand, still presenting it to Zheng Zhilong with both hands. "Hou Ye, take care, Xiang Yuanchong is your subordinate after all, although he has been subdued now, but the death is empty, please don't treat his body slowly. By the way, there is a carriage parked outside the backyard door, carrying Xiang Yuanchong's body, please send someone to collect it! ”

Zhou Chang finished his words without humility or arrogance, and looked at Zheng Zhilong with an expressionless face.

Zheng Zhilong almost spit out a mouthful of blood, but Zheng Zhibao next to him screamed strangely, and he had already taken more than 20 henchmen under his command to ride out and kill him, "Zhu Ping'an, you dare to kill my generals, I will never give up with you!" ”

But the cavalry under Zhang Dingbian was neatly wielding the crossbow in his hand, and under a salvo, Zheng Zhibao and others fell down one after another, and the crossbow arrows were aimed at the war horses under them, except for the abrasions and bumps that fell to the ground, they did not hurt them at all.

Zheng Zhibao was unrelenting, and he wanted to swing his knife forward, but Zheng Zhilong stopped them.

At this time, Huang Daozhou, Shi Kefa, Su Guansheng, Huang Mingjun and others had also arrived, and when they saw this situation, they secretly complained in their hearts, so they wanted to come forward to persuade them.

But Zheng Zhilong waved his hand, "Princess, although I, Zheng Zhilong, am a martial artist, but I know how to advance and retreat, and it will be the new monarch's enthronement ceremony soon, and my Zheng family will never make it difficult for His Majesty at this time." The coming day is long, today's events, I Zheng Zhilong keep in mind, there will always be a time for reckoning in the future! ”

Zheng Zhilong's words made Huang Daozhou and others breathe a sigh of relief.

Zheng Zhilong looked at Zhou Chang in front of him and nodded, "Yes, you young man is quite bold!" ”

Zhou Chang saluted, "The marshal still has something to say to the villain to tell the Hou Ye." These days, there has been a lot of gossip about our house in the Jingshi. The person behind this plot obviously has ulterior motives, my family is handsome and has a word first, all the gossip against him, he can ignore it, but if it involves the high hall of immortal death, then please don't blame his subordinates for being ruthless. These days, our general military palace has not been idle, and we have sent people to visit and investigate early, and we have arrested a lot of people involved in this matter, some of whom are inseparable from the Zheng family, and the marshal asked me to tell Hou Ye that Xiang Yuanchong is only the first, and next, these people and others are all like this! ”

After speaking, Zhou Chang turned around and went straight back to Zhang Dingbian's formation.

Zhang Dingbian gave up his hand from afar, "It's not early, the people Hou Ye wants, we have already handed them back, and the matter between us and Hou Ye can be regarded as having a beginning and an end." Hou Ye is a pillar of the imperial court, and there are many opportunities for the day, please go back and rest early! I don't send it! ”

Zhang Dingbian led the cavalry to slowly retreat along the streets and alleys, but Zheng Zhibao, who was unbearable to retreat, was unrelenting, "Big brother, we can't just forget it, Zhu Ping'an humiliated me like this today, ......!" ”

Zheng Zhilong was full of anger, his face was pale, but Zheng Sen and Zheng Hongkui leaned up on the left and right, "Father, it's better to stop today's business, the future will be long, and when the little prince establishes the position of the prince, then Zhu Ping'an is the general trend has gone, and sooner or later it will be in our hands, why bother to fight with him now!" ”

Zheng Hongkui also said: "Big brother, the cabinet ministers are all here today, but His Majesty has not sent an edict until now, which is to imply that we will temporarily suspend the army and stop the war, the ceremony is imminent, Zhu Ping'an's intention is to provoke us, I don't know if I still have the idea of delaying the ceremony, we must not lose a big one because of a small one!" ”

Zheng Zhilong stared at the brightly lit General Military Mansion in the distance, and only snorted from his nose for a long time, arching his hand at Huang Daozhou and others not far away, and then turned his horse's head and slowly retreated with a group of subordinates.

Huang Daozhou, Su Guansheng, Huang Mingjun and others glanced at each other, and they all saw the meaning of stretching in each other's eyes. Huang Daozhou stroked his long beard, but his eyes looking at Zheng Zhilong's back were plain and worried.

Su Guansheng, Huang Mingjun and others said goodbye to Huang Daozhou and left, but none of the people greeted Shi Kefa who was standing aside.

Shi Kefa stood with his hands in his hands, and did not pay attention to the snub of everyone, seeing that the matter was over, he silently bowed to the zodiac and wanted to turn around and leave.

"Xianzhi, let's go back together in the old man's carriage, the old man still has a few words to ask you!" Huang Daozhou suddenly spoke.

Shi Kefa was stunned for a moment, but did not refuse, and followed Huang Daozhou into his carriage, while his own mount was led by his family to follow the carriage.

After the fall of Beijing, Shi Kefa, who was the head of Nanjing's civil and military affairs, was mishandled and indecisive, and was coerced by Ma Shiying and others, and had to unify and support King Fu as the emperor, which also laid the groundwork for the Yixing Rebellion that occurred later. I have to say that Shi Kefa's personal mistakes caused a series of bad consequences later.

His people were also spurned by the courtiers, and Zhu Yousong, who once served the blessed king, also became the biggest stain on his personal body, and later, when Ma Shiying and others were in chaos, Shi Kefa and Sun Chuanting also failed to return in time to help, and had to defect to Yue Jinfeng in Suizhou. This series of experiences also made the civil and military of the court avoid him and regarded him as an ominous person. In private, there are still people who call it "three family slaves". Therefore, although Shi Kefa is now a cabinet minister, he is only a shadow in the court, and no one pays attention to it at all.

Huang Daozhou is a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, more than ten years older than Shi Kefa, and studied under Yuan Keli. During the Chongzhen Dynasty, he repeatedly made direct admonitions. When Chongzhen was sixteen years old, he resigned and returned to his hometown, until Zhu Yujian entered Nanjing, and then invited him to return to the court and serve as the first assistant to preside over government affairs.

Huang Daozhou saw a series of mistakes made by Shi Kefa in the early stage, but it was because of these many changes that Huang Daozhou felt more and more that Shi Kefa now had earth-shaking changes compared with the past. Others may not be aware of this, but Huang Daozhou, as the first assistant, has a deep understanding in these days.

The carriage walked slowly, Huang Daozhou closed his eyes slightly, and said clearly: "Xianzhi, what do you think of tonight's events?" ”

Shi Kefa sat beside Huang Daozhou's hand, didn't think about it at all, and replied directly: "From the student's point of view, it's just Zhu Ping'an's momentum!" ”

"Oh?" Huang Daozhou opened his eyes, "What is the use of building momentum?" ”

"Students don't know!" Shi Kefa did not hide his thoughts, "But with the student's understanding of Zhu Ping'an, he will never do something meaningless." In fact, if you look closely, for a long time, what Zhu Ping'an has planned is just to correct the name of the Tang Dynasty. But what exactly does he have to get through this hurdle in front of him, to be honest, the students are also very curious! ”

Huang Daozhou was surprised in his heart, but the expression on his face still did not change. "What do you think of the matter of the opposition to the prince?"

"The position of the prince of Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xiaolie has long been decided, so why argue now?"

Shi Kefa's answer surprised Zodiac Zhou. R1152
