In late spring, the four fields are lush and green, and the seedlings in the fields are knee-high.

An army marched out of Songjiang Prefecture and entered the territory of Changzhou Prefecture via Suzhou Prefecture.

Zhang Mingzhen was riding on a gray-white war horse, his head half-drooping. The march was slow, and his body was bowing slightly on his horse, swaying with the horse's footsteps. He wasn't so pessimistic, and of course he didn't know the bottom of his heart.

He was loyal to King Lu, so he hoped that the scene in Shaoxing Mansion would be repeated in the city of Nanjing.

Everyone in Jiangnan knew that the general was dissatisfied with the imperial court, but he couldn't figure out that person's mind.

Zhai Zhe, the general of Pingyu, will not bear the notoriety of deposing the emperor, he must take the brunt. At least, Zhai Zhe had acquiesced in his actions, otherwise he would not have arrived at the boundary of Zhenjiang Mansion so smoothly.

Since the night before, after leaving his barracks, Zongmao has been delivering news to him, and he is acting exactly according to Zongmao's instructions.

Nanjing City.

The people and merchants are still the same, as long as they don't know that the Qing captives have crossed the Yangtze River, they will not panic. Even if there is a change of emperor, what does it have to do with them? These days, the banks of the Qinhuai River are lively again. Whether it is an old minister or a new noble, when you have money, you will learn to enjoy it. In addition to the scholars from all over the south of the Yangtze River, there are also wealthy merchants, as well as all kinds of people with ulterior motives, because this is the fastest source of information in Nanjing City.

In the Jingying General Military Mansion, Xiao Zhiyan put on his official uniform, and asked Gu Mei to look left and right, confirm that there was nothing wrong, and step forward to go out.

"Sir!" Gu Mei wanted to speak and stopped. She was very worried, she didn't have to go out, she knew what was born in the world, because Liu Ru often came to the door.

"Don't worry, there will be no chaos in Nanjing!" Xiao Zhiyan raised his riding boots and walked out. In the courtyard, two eunuchs dressed in soap were already waiting, and four mighty soldiers were standing.

"Let's go!"

The group went out and met four or five people.

Xiao Zhiyan looked up and saw that it was a person, and hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to grab his arm, "Zong Mao, you came just in time, I was looking for you!" ”

Zong Mao saluted respectfully: "I'm also here to find Uncle Xiao!" ”

Xiao Zhiyan turned his head to look at the little eunuch who was following him, let go of his hand again, and said, "I have something to enter the palace to face the saint, and you wait for me to come back in the mansion!" ”

"Okay!"

Zong Mao nodded and got out of the way.

This is the words of Emperor Longwu who summoned Xiao in the palace.

In the current situation, everything is fake, only the 40,000 soldiers and horses of Zheng Sen and Xiao Zhiyan guarding Nanjing are true.

This is the last chance, and Emperor Longwu is making a last stand. If he loses this game, he will really lose the ****. He was able to ascend the throne in Nanjing, not only relying on Zhai Zhe, but also with the support of the Zheng family. In such a short period of time, Zheng and Zhai Zhe were both leading troops, and Zhu Yujian didn't believe that they could reach an agreement. However, if he refuses Zhai Zhe's request, he will have to take a huge risk.

Last year in Fuzhou, Zheng Zhilong didn't take him seriously, but Zheng Sen left a good impression on him, otherwise he would not have the saying "It's a pity that no daughter married Yu Qing". Zheng Zhilong also let Zheng Sen lead his troops to garrison Nanjing because of these considerations.

Zheng Sen's reply was crisp. Emperor Longwu originally didn't have any illusions about Xiao Zhiyan, but someone recently told him that Xiao Zhiyan had been unprecedentedly anxious about King Lu's entry into the dynasty recently.

That at least shows that Xiao Zhiyan did not agree with King Lu's entry into the court, so his holy decree had been prepared, but he had not yet gone out.

Kunning Palace.

Xiao Zhiyan looked left and right all the way in, and he entered the palace for the first time, and there was a fresh energy. With his temperament, Mo said that he was the chief soldier of the Beijing camp today, even if he was a grassland horse thief at the beginning, he might not be nervous.

When he looked up and saw a middle-aged man with thick hair sitting on the high platform in front of him, he came to his senses.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Flat!"

"I heard that General Xiao and General Pinglu are like brothers, and the thief Duoduo was captured by General Xiao, and half of the credit for General Pinglu will fall to General Xiao. When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary. ”

This sentence seems to have a bit of a flattering taste, but every word is a mystery.

Although Xiao Zhiyan was a little dull about the court dispute, the meaning of these words could still be heard.

"The last general is just a pawn of the general! The general strategized in order to drive the Qing captives out of Jiangnan. ”

"The day before yesterday, I ordered you and General Zheng to arrest King Lu who left the fiefdom without permission, but there is a result?"

This is a difficult question to answer, Xiao Zhiyan racked his brains and came up with a very clumsy answer, "King Lu has been intercepted in Suzhou Mansion." ”

"What are Jiangfang's soldiers and horses doing?" Zhu Yujian was furious, and he was furious, "Does the Pingyu General's Mansion want to connive at King Lu's rebellion?" ”

Xiao Zhiyan is a straight man, he is the oldest among the generals in the Pinglu General's Mansion, and his scheming is far from catching up with Zong Mao and Feng Qin and other juniors. Even Zuo Ruo has a few more eyes than him.

Zhu Yujian was just pretending to test him.

Xiao Zhiyan knelt down again and defended: "The general is loyal to His Majesty and will never betray the imperial court. ”

Zhu Yujian showed an imperceptible smile, and he was playing with Zhai Zhe.

He was imprisoned in the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum for eight years, so many lonely and painful years have passed, and now that he is sitting on the throne, how can he still be slaughtered? Nine years ago, he dared to ignore the ban of the ancestral system and privately recruit troops into King Qinjing in Nanyang.

"General Xiao, I believe you, General Pinglu is a loyal minister of my Ming Dynasty, and you are also a loyal minister of my Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yujian looked at Xiao Zhiyan who was kneeling in front of him, and wanted to laugh out loud, giving birth to unprecedented confidence.

The General's Mansion is not monolithic. He can use the Zheng clan to contain Zhai Zhe, and then secretly divide the generals.

If Xiao Zhiyan's attitude is a little more arrogant, if Xiao Zhiyan shows his disdain for Zhu Yujian like Liu Suifeng did at the beginning, his holy decree will go out later. But now, he's going to wait.

Xiao Zhiyan said goodbye and returned home, and on the way back, he walked quickly.

Zong Mao was drinking tea in the General Soldier's Mansion.

Xu Yiyang was talking to him.

The two talked casually, and Xu Yiyang talked about things in the army. Zong Mao was very interested, and told him the secret story of their battle with the Jurchens on the grassland, and the sixteen-year-old boy who listened to it didn't roll his eyes. He was adopted by Xiao Zhiyan when his family was in decline, Xiao Zhiyan and Gu Mei had no son, and they always regarded him as their own son, and he liked to listen to the story of his father-in-law's scenery on the grassland.

Gu Mei just came out to receive him and immediately returned to the back room. She is now Mrs. Hou, and she will not show her face at will.

There was a sound of talking and laughing here, and there was a sound of horses' hooves at the door. Before Zong Mao could get up and go out, Xiao Zhiyan's voice came from the courtyard: "Zong Mao, are you still there?" ”

"Uncle Xiao, I'm here!"

Zong Mao stood at the door with a smile on his face.

Xiao Zhiyan saw Xu Yiyang following behind him, and he couldn't do anything, so he beckoned: "You come with me!" ”

The two entered the wing room of the martial arts training ground in the backyard.

Xu Yiyang stood far away and vaguely heard the sound of arguments coming from inside.
