Zhai Zhe is making tea.

This was a habit he had learned from Fan Yongdou, and in the midst of the incomparably complicated steps and gestures, a cloud of water vapor rose in front of his vision.

Fishing is better than fish, tea is not drinking.

His movements were soft, and there was strength in the softness, but his thoughts were no longer drifting anywhere.

There were three people standing in front of them, Zong Mao, Zhang Huangyan and Yao Qisheng. Among these three, only Zhang Huangyan is the lifter, and Yao Qisheng and Zong Mao are only from Xiucai. They were incompatible with the princes of the court, but they were the most powerful local governors of the Ming Dynasty. Zhai Zhe was already in the layout, and the three local governors of the Ming Dynasty were all from the staff of the General's Mansion.

"Please take the throne of regent, take charge of the dynasty, sweep away the haze of the government, and wait for the day when the glory of the Ming Dynasty is restored, and then return to the government of His Majesty." Zong Mao's voice was crisp, his spirit was uplifting, and he was implicitly aggressive.

"Please ask the prince to ascend the regent throne, this is what everyone expects" Yao Qisheng followed.

Zhang Huangyan shrugged his shoulders, as if there were countless insects and ants crawling on his body. At the beginning, he liked King Lu, and he didn't have much feeling for Zhu Yujian, the former Tang King who was now sitting on the throne. But this does not mean that he can calmly accept the great general he admires in his heart to ascend to the regency throne.

Saying anything about returning the government to the Zhu family is just a pretext, which can only deceive those ignorant and foolish people.

He took half a step forward, King Jin's eyes were only fixed on the teapot in his hand, but he always felt King Jin's eyes on his face.

He squirmed his lips, just about to speak.

Zhai Zhe picked up the dark brown teapot, and a wisp of pale yellow tea broke through the mist and filled three white porcelain cups.

"Three, please have a cup of tea"

Zhai Zhe's voice was a little hoarse, and his voice was a little vicissitudes.

"Twenty years ago, Xiao Zhiyan and I left Dongkou and led hundreds of horse thieves into the Tumut Mongol tribe. At that time, I just wanted to suppress the Liaodong Jurchens for the Ming Dynasty. My family sold grain to Liaodong, and I betrayed my family. I've been in Mongolia for 10 years and haven't slept a few times. The wind is cold in Mobei, and the Jurchens are like sharp swords all the way to my throat, who in the world can understand that kind of taste? ”

Zhai Zhe closed his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling the years of youth and Jin Ge Iron Horse.

"Then I followed Lu Gong to fight Xuanda, Lu Gong was not close to me, but there was the grace of knowing and encountering, and then Lu Gong ordered the giant deer to fall in the snowfield, and I came to Jiangnan. I haven't seen the hardships and hardships of going to the west exit, and you don't understand how rich Jiangnan is. ”

He paused for a moment and waved his hand to signal the three of them not to be restrained and take a cup of tea.

"Lu Gong said to me, 'Don't forget the original intention, you can always be, so over the years, I have been living in the temple, I dare not have a trace of slackness, Lu Gong's original intention is the Ming Dynasty, and my original intention is the Han people."

Zong Mao came up first, Yao Qisheng and Zhang Huangyan followed, respectfully holding a small white porcelain cup and drinking the tea. For many years, Zong Mao has been following Zhai Zhe's side, and he has a sense of every step of Zhai Zhe's experience. Yao Qisheng and Zhang Huangyan listened attentively.

"It wasn't until after the shaving order that I worked together with all the people in Jiangnan to recover Nanjing, and I finally knew that I could change this era"

Zhai Zhe was laughing, smiling confidently.

The reconquest of Nanjing established his position in the Ming Dynasty.

The three people on the other side all thought that King Jin wanted to say that it was natural for him to be crowned regent with his merits. It was indeed the most glorious moment of King Jin.

"Who understands what I mean?" Zhai Zhe shook his head slightly. He used to feel lonely because of this, but now he was used to it. As the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty and Ningshao, it is different from wandering outside the Saiwai, and when he is the king of the Ming Dynasty (or the regent), it is another realm.

Three cups of tea are drunk, and three cups of tea are returned to their places

Zhang Huangyan was about to speak, but was suddenly blocked by Zhai Zhe. The three governors recalled by King Jin did not express his position.

He considered the words, coughed lightly, and arched his hand: "The prince is trying his best to save the Han family, no one in the world can match, and he should enter the position of regent, but it is just ......, but if it is undecided today, the king of Yanping is ready to move in Fujian and Guangdong, and the prince will enter the regent throne at this time, and the lower officials are worried that they will give people a handle and make the hearts of the people in the world turbulent."

After he said these words, his legs were already stiff, and he was worried about attracting Zhai Zhe's anger. There are good reasons for this, and it takes a lot of courage to speak out against it at this time.

"Lord Zhang's words are wrong" Zong Mao first stood up and retorted, "Nanjing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the court is respectful and orderly, does the prince need the permission of King Yanping to be promoted to regent?" The Zheng clan led Fujian and Guangdong, and originally promised to pay tribute to the imperial court, but I heard that this year, the Zheng clan used the disaster in Guangdong as an excuse to intercept Wucheng Tianfu. The wind and rain in Guangdong are smooth, and such a clumsy excuse can also deceive the princes of the court, which shows that the king of Yanping has long been disobedient, and now Fujian and Guangdong are equal to the feudal towns, and Lord Zhang wants to connive at the Zheng family, I dare not agree. ”

Yao Qisheng and Zhang Huangyan were from eastern Zhejiang at the same time, and their tone was much more soothing, and they also stood up and said: "The Zheng family is about to move, and the court should be-for-tat, and not show cowardice." In my opinion, Zheng Zhilong has no ambition and does great things and spares his life, if the court is tough enough, the Zheng family will not dare to act rashly."

Zhang Huangyan saw that the two people around him refuted him at the same time, and it seemed that his previous opposition was very inappropriate.

Zong Mao said coldly: "The prince is so fortunate that it is for the Han family, not for the Zhu family. Duke Lu died at the hands of the villain, the prince was also in danger in Nanjing, and the Zhu family still had the face to stand above the court. "He has always been full of fighting spirit, and there is a fire burning in his breast.

Zhai Zhe stopped his movements, leaned back on the comfortable chair, looked directly at Zhang Huangyan, and said, "Cangshui, what you said is very reasonable. But you also know that Yanping Wang An has been stable for two years, why is he ready to move this year? Now, the Holy Majesty and I, there is only one person who can speak in the court, who do you think is more suitable? ”

Zhang Huangyan was frightened, knelt on the ground and knocked: "The lower official is dull"

"The righteous people of eastern Zhejiang, the living beings of the south of the Yangtze River, rose up for the anti-shaving order, not for the maintenance of the Ming Dynasty, nor for me Zhai Zhe. Go down and think about it. ”

After a lengthy meeting, the three governors withdrew from the Jin Palace. In the eyes of the Nanjing courtiers, these three people became the most loyal lackeys of the Jin king.

Seeing off the three of them, Zhai Zhe got up and went to the side room, he suddenly wanted to see the two Hai Dongqing.

After the war in Jiangbei at the beginning of the year, he returned to Nanjing in a hurry last time, and this time he returned to Nanjing to be busy, and he had no leisure and elegance to feed the two eagles.

Able to minister like a bird, a bird like a capable minister. Harnessing the skills of the ministers, he knows it as well.

Yao Qisheng said that Zheng Zhilong did great things and spared his life, why is this not the case for Jiangnan scholars? The person who was shaved at the beginning did not have the face to directly oppose him again, and the people of eastern Zhejiang who did not shave had had already voted under the account of the General's Mansion.

A few years ago, he let Chen Zilong take power, and confined Zong Mao, who could compete with Chen Zilong. And how many of the scholars of the Restoration Society have not shaved?

In late July, the governors of the three places of the Ming Dynasty jointly played a joint performance, asking the king of Jin to be the regent, and the cabinet assistant Ma Shiying seconded the proposal.

Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, kept silent, Zhang Kentang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Du Yinxi, submitted their resignations in anger, and Chen Zilong, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, was still hiding at home to recuperate.

At the same time, the thirteen imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate jointly played the King of Jin and did not respect the dynasty. The inner court reacted quickly, and the little eunuch issued an edict, and thirteen people were removed from their posts and demoted to serve in the Huguang army.

Yushi's reaction to the impeachment of the Jin Dynasty can be seen as Zhai Zhe's way of dealing with opponents. Because from all indications, although the emperor's jade seal is in the palace, it is not in the hands of Emperor Longwu.

The government and the opposition were in turmoil, and the next day, four more people who were not afraid of death came forward again to petition for impeachment.

This time the punishment of the imperial court was extremely strange, and the inner court issued a decree to expel these four people to the island of Taiwan, and they were not allowed to ascend to the big 6 again without a pardon.

Many people immediately asked, what exactly is Taiwan? Read 10,000 books and walk 10,000 miles. The court ministers have read a lot of books, but except for the scholars from southern Fujian, most of them don't know where Taiwan is.

Like a great popularization of geographical knowledge, the scholars in Nanjing City quickly set their sights on the island in the South China Sea. As a result, Zhai Zhe was unexpected, and the opposition of the court continued, but no one wrote to impeach the king of Jin.

That wild and isolated island was much more terrible in the eyes of the courtiers than the vast land of the lake.

A few years ago, the Fujian disaster, Zheng Zhilong had migrated a lot of Fujian people to Taiwan, but there were fortresses built by the Xifan people, there were natives who were hidden in the jungle, and the miasma was born.

There is no more noise in Nanjing, but it is only after tea and dinner.

Zong Mao, Yao Qisheng and Zhang Huangyan discussed in the Jin Palace's mansion for three days, and the general ordered the three to return to their stations. It seems that they arrived in Nanjing just to jointly sign a fold, but this twist is very powerful, so that everyone in the court can understand that the king of Jin has a strong control over the Ming dynasty.

Before Zong Mao left, he came to Liufu to visit Liu Suifeng.

Zong Mao didn't like the poor conditions in Liu Suifeng's mansion, and the attendants and wine and food he brought with him. Liu Suifeng does not entertain guests with wine and meat, but he does not refuse the food delivered to his door.

The old man set up the tables and chairs, and the attendants brought by Zong Mao put away the wine and food.

The two of them ate and talked.

Zong Mao pointed left and right with chopsticks, and said bluntly: "Brother Liu's move makes people think that you are too good at being a hypocrisy."

Liu Suifeng was not angry, and said: "It is easy to be a fake for a day, but it is difficult to be a fake for a lifetime"

Zong Mao couldn't understand Liu Suifeng's world, and said disapprovingly: "You and I are extremely human ministers, don't be extravagant, but there is no need to be like you" The two of them have completely different personalities. Liu Suifeng is like a Tai Chi master, and Zong Mao is like a warrior who is proficient in strength and degree.

"What about being fake?" Liu Suifeng raised his chopsticks to hold a piece of saltwater duck, and said with a smile: "Above the court, who doesn't be a hypocrisy?" Even if you can't deceive others, you can't deceive yourself, as long as you conform to the court, you will be invincible. ”

"I don't fake, I only do things" Zong Mao's voice is like a golden stone.
