Under the joint persuasion of Xu He and Ma Guozhu, Kong Xingxi still agreed to join them in advising Su Yan to take the throne.

After Kong Xingxi agreed to join, Xu He continued: "Most of the Chinese military officials of the DPRK have received the favor of His Royal Highness, and their hearts are towards the King of Chu, as long as the three of us take the lead in joint persuasion, they will inevitably flock to it, and those few ministers in the DPRK who still have the Ming family in their hearts have no military power in their hands, and they don't have to care."

"Where's the place?" Ma Guozhu asked, "As far as I know, Guo Zhiqi, the governor of Liangguang, Lian Chengbi, the governor of Guangdong, Liu Tichun, the governor of Sichuan, and the thirteen soldiers and horses of the original Kuidong, as well as the Duke of Shu and the Wang of Xining, are all loyal to the Ming family.

There is also the country surnamed Ye in the chicken coop, although he and His Royal Highness are in-laws, but they must also be careful to take precautions."

"That's why we have to be in a good place." Xu He Zhengse said: "The second town deployed by Liangguang is the imperial court's soldiers and horses, if Guo Zhiqi and Lian Chengbi are unwilling to submit and stand on their own, the officers and soldiers of the second town will naturally not let it go.

As long as the two Guangxi are pacified, Li Dingguo, the king of Xining who is currently guarding Nanping, will not be able to form a climate, Nanping is short of materials, and the army of the king of Xining will still rely on the imperial court to supply, once the imperial court cuts off its food and salary supply, within a few months, the army of the king of Xining will definitely collapse first.

And the same is true for Liu Tichun, the governor of Sichuan, and the thirteen soldiers and horses of the original Kuidong, whose essence is the soldiers and horses adapted from the Liukou, who have no fixed place to live and lack stable material supplies, and turning against the imperial court will only put them in a situation from which they will never recover.

Moreover, the Thirteen Families of Kuidong are not monolithic, even if Liu Tichun wants to rebel against the imperial court, the rest of the generals will not agree.

The only thing that is a little threatening is the soldiers and horses of Liu Wenxiu, the Duke of Shu, but Liu Wenxiu and his wife and children are in Nanjing, as long as Liu Wenxiu stays in Nanjing for a day, the soldiers and horses he left in Shu will not dare to rebel for a day.

As for the national surname, the wife and the prince are both in Nanjing, which is enough to show the obedience of the national surname to the imperial court, even if the national surname insists on breaking with the imperial court, he only occupies the island of the chicken coop, what can he do?"

After saying so much in one breath, Xu He picked up the teacup and took a sip, moisturizing and moistening his somewhat dry throat, he looked at Ma Guozhu and Kong Xingxi, who were in thought, and the two glanced at each other, and they both saw the look of approval in each other's eyes.

Then, Kong Xingxi said: "Since Shoufu has come up with a way to defend the place, then we have nothing to worry about, before His Highness returns to Nanjing, I will order people to do more public opinion guidance among the people, and after killing King Han and rebelling against the party, you and I will jointly persuade you, how about it?"

"Seconded." Ma Guozhu said.

"I will also contact the officials of the DPRK and China who are attached to us to build momentum, and the silver taels needed to prepare for the ceremony of the enthronement ceremony will depend on Ma Shangshu to prepare in advance." Xu He said.

After speaking, he remembered one thing and said, "When the people are guiding public opinion to build momentum, you can also release a little unfavorable news for King Han, so that the people can be a little mentally prepared in advance."

……

Under Xu He's layout, public opinion in Nanjing City soon boiled again, and the news of Su Yan's assassination was not deliberately blocked, so the people basically knew about it.

And this time, the folk actually rumored that the Ming clan headed by King Han assassinated the King of Chu on the way to the Northern Expedition, which immediately aroused the anger and dissatisfaction of the people.

The poor performance of the Zhu Ming clan before and after the Qing army entered the customs made the people full of disappointment and distrust of them, and this rumor about King Han pushed this sentiment to a climax.

Some radical people even said in vain among the city: "Zhu Ming has no way, if the king of Chu turns the corner, he should be the new son of heaven and replace him!"

Their remarks were immediately supported by the people around them, and these flat-headed people in coarse cloth shirts constantly criticized the clan, attracting bursts of echo and applause.

Wen Anzhi, dressed in a coarse cloth robe, sat in a corner not far away, picked up a duck leg with the chopsticks in his hand and put it in the bowl of the child sitting opposite him, touched his head lovingly, and asked him to eat more.

This child was an orphan he picked up on the way to Nanjing, and he was told that he was originally from Henan, but was forced to move south because of the war, and his parents starved to death on the way, leaving him alone in the family.

Wen Anzhi is old this year, his children are separated, and there is no descendant around him, so he took this child by his side, and named him Wen Sique on weekdays as his grandson, to represent his nostalgia for his hometown Yaqueling.

After seeing Wen Sique's gobbling up for a while, Wen Anzhi continued to look at the noisy ordinary people, and in the past few days when he came to Nanjing, he did not rush to find the official mansion to identify himself, but first collected some information in the city to increase his understanding of this court.

He listened to the noise of the people, and with a keen sense of politics, he instantly realized that something big was going to happen in the DPRK and China.

Regardless of whether the king of Han really participated in the assassination of the king of Chu or not, as soon as these rumors came out, the imperial court would definitely investigate them strictly, so as to give a satisfactory answer to the excited people.

With the current lukewarm attitude of the imperial court towards the clan, I am afraid this will be a harbinger of the imperial court's action against the clan......

In his opinion, if Su Yan was really seriously injured and dying, the court would definitely be busy fighting for power and profit, not as stable as it is now, and he can still let the people spread rumors.

Under Wen Anzhi's bystander, public opinion among the people intensified, and the remarks of abolishing the Zhu Ming Dynasty and supporting Su Yan as the new emperor emerged one after another.

Some angry civilians even ran to the gate of the Han Wang's Mansion and threw all kinds of garbage at the Han Wang's Mansion, cursing loudly at the Han King and the moth-like clan as they threw it.

Although they are nominally for the King of Chu, they are actually more to vent their daily dissatisfaction and grievances, so no one has taken the risk of storming the palace, and they are not stupid, and they will not put themselves into it for this matter.

In the palace of King Han, King Han Zhu Jingli's face was gloomy, and he scattered all the things on the table on the ground in a rage, and his younger brother Zhu Jingyuan, King of Changsha, stood aside with a nervous expression.

"Brother Wang, why is our conspiracy spreading outside? If the court is ready to attack us with this, we have no soldiers and no power, and we are afraid that we will not be able to resist it!" Zhu Jingyu said.

"How do I know, now I can only go out of the city overnight, no matter whether Su Yan is assassinated or not, you and I can't stay in this Nanjing City, and we must leave Nanjing before the court comes to the door." Zhu Jingli said very quickly, his brain was also spinning rapidly, thinking about how to deal with the current crisis.

Nanjing City must not be able to stay, this is the Longtan Tiger's Den, continue to stay will only be trapped here, only leave Nanjing to have a way to live.

As long as he can leave Nanjing, he can go to the west, recruit troops and horses in eastern Sichuan, where he once fought, and crusade against Su Yan on the charge of usurping the country.

Now he didn't have the heart to think about whether he could defeat Su Yan in the future, he asked the people in the mansion to go out through the side door or the back door, sell the valuable things in the mansion, and at the same time pack up the gold and silver, trying to leave Nanjing before the city gate closed after dark.

As for King Hui and his comrades, I'm sorry, I don't have the energy to care about them anymore.
