Liu Jun was wearing a python robe and a jade belt around his waist, and strode into the hall of the Prime Minister's Yamen.

All the ministers stood up and saluted Liu Jun, and he returned the salute one by one. The little emperor has not yet arrived, Wu Fu is sitting in the seat of the first assistant, and the vacant seat next to him is Liu Jun's position.

Wu Fu's brows were urgent, and his face was gloomy.

He had just received a report from the privy envoy Fan Jingwen, and Wu Sangui had surrendered.

This was simply bad news, and Wu Fu almost fainted when he heard the news.

There are many important ministers attending the meeting of the Prime Minister's Office today, except for Yuan Jixian and Yao Minggong, two new cabinet ministers who have not yet arrived in Beijing, the other six ministers and Jiuqing and other important ministers have arrived.

Liu Jun glanced at Wu Fu and sneered in his heart. Wu Fu must have regretted the bet he made before, although Liu Jun never thought of driving Wu Fu off the stage with a bet. But this gamble is still a good handle, and if it works well, Wu Fu's reputation will be stinky.

After a while, Zhu Cihong arrived.

Zhu Cihong looked dissatisfied, he looked at Wu Fu, and said angrily, "Elder Wu Ge, I heard that Wu Sangui has been cleared, what is going on?" I have just granted your request, issued a decree to the world, and conferred the title of Earl Wu Sangui, and I am not to blame for his rebellion. But now that my edict has just been issued, Wu Sangui turned around and surrendered to Qing, what is going on? ”

The young emperor started the fire, but he also had a bit of a sublime demeanor.

"Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding here?" Wu Fu's forehead was sweating, and he still didn't understand why Wu Sangui wanted to abandon the Ming Dynasty and surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

"Misunderstanding? What can be misunderstood? The king of the county had long seen Wu Sangui's wolf ambitions, rebellious ministers and thieves, but Shoufu and Chen Yan and others did not say that Wu Sangui was a loyal minister. It's ridiculous, they all started to make a mess, and they were still loyal ministers. The most ridiculous thing is that Wu Sangui is all reversed, and some people in the court still want to appease and surrender, and ask for an edict for him to be knighted, I don't know why they want to do this. I suspect that some people have already been bought by Wu Wei a long time ago, so they will be so bent on helping them speak. ”

Not long ago, Liu Jun merged the East China Sea and the South China Sea fleets into one, and Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Zhibao took over as the chief military officer of the Nanyang Naval Division, with Zheng Zhifeng, Zheng Cai, and others assisting in the management.

Zheng Zhilong has cooperated with Liu Jun since he cooperated, and now his power in the Southeast Sea has increased greatly, and his family wealth has surged again and again. Especially now, the Zheng family has not only surged in wealth, but also entered the officialdom from the business world, and they relied on Liu Jun to successfully bleach themselves. Before cooperating with Liu Jun, Zheng Zhilong was only a deputy general. Although he is the uncrowned king of the sea, his status in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is not high.

But now it's different, in just a few years, a lot of senior officers such as the Admiral of the Zheng Group, the General Staff General, etc., have been bleached from a pirate group to a maritime group, and now they have successfully crossed the threshold, from a group of maritime businessmen, to the top generals in the southeast.

received a letter from Liu Jun to transfer him to Beijing. Zheng Zhilong did not hesitate.

The first time he attended a meeting of the Prime Minister's Office, he did not hesitate to shoot at Shoufu Wu Fu. He didn't care at all that others listed him as the Chu Party, he was a Chu Party, and Liu Jun was the leader. He just wants to tell everyone that he is Liu Jun's person.

Although he has just entered Beijing, Zheng Zhilong has no regard for the entire Beijing Division, and even the entire Ming Dynasty. I still have a very clear understanding. He came from the southeast, and all the way up, he knew the current situation better than these officials in the DPRK and China. As the so-called bystander clears. He understands better than anyone else that in today's world, Liu Jun is in control.

Liu Jun controls the money bag of the Ming Dynasty with one hand, holds half of the army of the Ming Dynasty with the other, or the most elite army, with these two, who can compete with Liu Jun?

Liu Jun has not usurped the throne of the Ming Dynasty until now, and Zheng Zhilong already feels that he admires his restraint very much. But judging from his original experience with Liu Jun, Liu Jun will never be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. Liu Jun did not usurp the throne, it does not mean that he will not usurp the throne in the future, but he has not usurped the throne yet.

Although the Zheng family is very strong in the southeast, it is too far behind Liu Jun.

Especially the nobles who had the Jingshi in the past, and Zuo Liangyu and Wu Sangui and others in the back, Zheng Zhilong didn't want to end up like them.

Zheng Zhilong was just an ordinary person's child in his early years, going to sea to run ships, doing business in Japan, and even later fled to Taiwan, and then plundered the sea, step by step to the present, Zheng Zhilong's life is very rich, but his biggest goal in the past was to be the biggest pirate in the Southeast Sea, and then to be the biggest maritime merchant, and then to now, all he thinks about is that one day, he can also be knighted, so that the Zheng family can become an upstart in the empire.

"Presumptuous, you can't afford to be a pirate here." Wu Fu shouted angrily.

Zheng Zhilong didn't put Wu Fu in his eyes at all, "I am the commander of the Navy of the Sanpin Military Department, with the rank of general." How dare you call me a pirate? He glared at Wu Fu angrily, "What qualifications do you have to insult me, didn't you make a bet with the king of the county before, and insisted on using your official position as a guarantee to guarantee that Wu Sangui would accept Zhao'an and not be cleared?" Now that Wu Sangui has been cleared, why are you still standing here, what face do you still have to stand here, do you want to go back on your word? If I were you, I would have resigned by myself! ”

Wu Fu's face was red, but he really didn't want to resign from his official position.

"Your Majesty, Wu Sangui is a thief, he is a minister, and he knows that he is guilty. But now that the Wu thieves have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army is menacing, and if the minister abandons his post at this time, he is really ignoring the overall situation, and it is not the courtier's loyalty. The minister asked to keep the guilty for the time being, and after the thief was returned, the minister should resign and return. ”

Zheng Zhilong stood in his place and let out a few disdainful sneers.

Fu Shan, chief of the general staff of the Privy Council, also took the opportunity to make up for it at this time.

"Could it be that Shoufu intends to personally lead the troops to break the coalition forces of Wu Sangui and Qing Yu?"

Zheng Zhilong laughed, "I see, it seems that Zheng underestimated Lord Shoufu." Lord Shoufu is really commendable for his courage and loyalty, and his subordinates admire him. Here, Xia Guan wished Shoufu success in advance, a victory, and a victory over the invasion of Wu Yi and Qing Yu in one fell swoop. ”

Wu Fu was blocked.

His so-called guilty retention is just that he doesn't want to resign. But at this time, Fu Shan and Zheng Zhilong sang and drank, but he couldn't shirk it.

"I have this intention, but the imperial court has already appointed the king of the county as the superintendent, and the governor has all kinds of troops and horses to defend against the enemy. The county king battle array is experienced, so it's not good for me to meddle in this matter again. Wu Fu said.

"Nope." Liu Jun stood up and spoke. "I can give up the position of Overseer to Shousuke-sama. Lord Shoufu personally went out, maybe he could persuade Wu Sangui to change his mind and accept the court's invitation again. Wouldn't that be better? ”

Wu Fu was very uncomfortable being blocked, so he could only lower his posture at this time.

"Leading troops to fight, it's not my strength, the county king is still capable of working harder, and now Wu Wei colluded with the Qing captives to invade on a large scale, and continued to increase troops to the west, and the county king has to go out and be responsible for coordinating the defense and counterattack of the soldiers and horses in each town."

This is the left capital of the imperial history Ni Yuanlu and the household department Shangshu Li Banghua, the old Fang Fengnian and so on also came out and mud together. Everyone knows that although Wu Fu is also known as a soldier among the civil ministers, it is limited to suppressing a few bandits and bandits in the local area, and if he is really asked to command this defensive battle, it will definitely not work.

Especially now all the soldiers and horses on the defense line of the Great Wall, they are all Liu Jun's old commanders, and Wu Fu is gone, and they may not sell his account.

"For the sake of national affairs, everyone should unite and help each other at this time, and stop talking about resignation and the like. Now you have to think about arguing with me, Wu Sangui has already surrendered, and the Qing prisoners have also sent more troops and horses to prepare for a large-scale attack. At this time, we have to think about how to repel the enemy army, and there is no need to fight for the rest. At a critical time, Li Banghua came out to help Wu Fu speak.

In the end, after a long day of noisy noise, Zhu Cihong issued an order to dismiss Feng Yuanbiao and Chen Yan, who first proposed to Wu Sangui to be knighted, from their official positions, and as for the real proponent, Wu Fu, he verbally reprimanded him.

In the end, Liu Jun was asked to leave Beijing immediately and go to Tongzhou to be responsible for defending against the invasion of Qing captives.

At the end of the meeting, Liu Jun walked with Fu Shan, Zheng Zhilong, Zhao Shun and others.

"King Jun, today is a good opportunity, why don't you take the opportunity to knock Wu Fu down in one fell swoop and kick him out of the court." Zheng Zhilong asked.

"It's not that simple."

"Then let him continue to stay in the court so shamelessly?"

"One step at a time." Liu Jun said with a smile. Although he did not take the opportunity to bring down Wu Fu at today's meeting, it was only because there are still many officials in the DPRK and China who are still on Wu Fu's side, and some people who were not originally from the Jiangbei Party do not want to see Wu Fu out, so that there will be a situation in which the Chu Party is the dominant family in the DPRK and China.

If Liu Jun forcibly wants to bring down Wu Fu, it will definitely cause a backlash.

However, Liu Jun didn't make a move just now, which doesn't mean that he is ready to let Wu Fu go.

The eyes of the masses are clear, and the power of public opinion is even stronger.

This gambling contract has actually spread a long time ago, and now with such a result, Liu Jun will not miss the excitement of letting the people of Beijing participate.

Mobilize the masses and first make Wu Fu's reputation stink. His reputation is stinky, and it will be much easier to kick Wu Fu away when the time comes.

"The king of the county, this time the Qing prisoner is not small, he dares to collude with Wu Sangui, and now he actually dares to transfer troops on a large scale. Do we pay tribute to them, draw troops and horses from Denglai, Lushun, and Beiyang towns, go directly to Liaodong, and then go straight to Huanglong, plough the court and sweep the caves? Fu Shan asked.

Liu Jun shook his head, "You don't need to make it so big, just send orders to Beiyang, Helushun, and Zhenjiang soldiers and horses, and let them prepare a wave of summer sweeps, just sweep the coastal area again, you don't have to make it so big, you can surround Liaoyang and fight Shenyang at every turn, then the Tartars will immediately retract in fright." They finally came over, let's satisfy them once, let them have a good look at our Great Wall defense. ”

"Our Great Wall defense line is very strong, and they will definitely break their heads."

"It doesn't matter, let the Tartars collide, we won't attack, just let them fight, I want to see how long they can support an army of more than 100,000 people with the current national strength of the Tartars."

"It won't last more than three months." Fu Shan said with a smile.

"That's right, give them a summer sweep first, and when we get back, we'll give them an autumn counterattack, give him a set meal, and let the Tartars come to get their lunches." (To be continued.) )
