……

Ningguo Mansion.

A state capital that was not famous before, except for a Nanling in the territory, the others can be said to be unknown.

However, it has now become the most watched place in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Not only did the powerful people of the dynasty look here, but even the emperor was paying close attention.

It's just that the current Ning Guofu almost determines the future of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is a repeat of the old Jingtian in the Chengzu period, or the Ning King Rebellion in the Wuzong period.

Everything depends on whether Ning Guofu can resist Zhu Di when the imperial army reinforcements arrive.

And for Zhu Xiyuan, the prefect of the entire Ming Dynasty, who looked at Ning Guofu, he was very frightened.

In the past, when I begged my grandfather and grandmother, I thought that I could make the ministers in the court pay more attention to Ning Guofu.

But now that they were really paying attention, he panicked again.

After all, when this traitor attacked, if he didn't handle it well, I am afraid that he would be exposed to the court in a magnified state.

At that time, even if the traitor is repulsed, it is estimated that he will be disposed of in one piece.

"Alas, tell me, why did this traitor suddenly come from Zhejiang?"

"Didn't you say some time ago that there was just a displacement unrest in Zhejiang? How did he suddenly become a traitor? ”

"It's really incomprehensible!"

Zhu Xiyuan, the prefect of Ningguo, sighed with a sigh on his face.

Why is he so unlucky, he has just been the prefect for less than two years.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty was first overthrown by the thieves, and then finally re-established in Nanjing.

Now he is going to be beaten to the bottom of the capital again.

And this time it is the same Zhu Ming royal family.

This is really worrying for him.

The great enemy is still fighting here and there, what are the difficulties, can't you sit down and talk?

I have to fight here to the death.

But don't get me wrong, although he is also surnamed Zhu, he also has a word next to the gold letter.

In fact, he has nothing to do with the Zhu Ming royal family, otherwise he would not have been able to become a jinshi in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen.

So what he was worried about was not that Zhu Di was going to rebel, but that Zhu Di was excited to raise troops.

He thinks that at this time, fighting in the nest will only damage Daming's own interests, after all, no matter whether Zhu Di wins or Nanjing wins in the end.

Da Ming will be more or less traumatized.

And judging from the current form, the trauma suffered by Daming is not ordinary.

So why didn't King Yongming fight?

Since King Yongming was able to make Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi all obey his orders, he could use it as a political force to compete with the one in Nanjing step by step.

And not like now, the fight is inextricable.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiyuan once again worried about the future of Daming.

I really don't know where the future of Daming is...

"Lord Prefect, do you think it's possible, Huang Mingjun, the governor of Zhejiang, also voted for Guangdong at the beginning!"

Zhu Xiyuan, who was sighing, was suddenly stunned by the words of Cao Ding, the general judge around him.

"Huang Mingjun defected to the enemy? No way! ”

Zhu Xiyuan, who came back to his senses, hurriedly shook his head.

Said with an affirmative face.

"He didn't let the good governor of Zhejiang do it, and went to vote for the one in Guangdong, what did he want?"

"The picture is glorious and rich, and it will leave a name in history."

Cao Ding continued.

"You must know that the one in Guangdong, except for Ding Kuichu, the governor of Liangguang, and the people under his command, there is no one who can rank the number of the Ming Dynasty."

"The so-called great merit is only the work of the dragon."

"If the one in Guangdong really succeeds, won't Lord Huang soar into the sky?"

"So why can't Lord Huang vote for Guangdong in advance?"

Listening to Cao Ding's words, Zhu Xiyuan had the heart to refute but couldn't say anything to refute.

Because he thought about it carefully, he found that the facts were indeed as Cao Ding said.

King Yongming was from Guangdong to Fujian to attack Nanjing, but as a result, there was no news from Fujian.

also let King Yongming quietly arrive all the way to Zhejiang.

This is enough to show that Zheng Zhilong, the general soldier of Fujian, has surrendered to King Yongming.

And when King Yongming entered Zhejiang, Huang Mingjun actually sent someone to the court to say that this was a turmoil among the displaced people.

He also said that because he was afraid of hurting innocent people, he did not dare to send troops to attack, and asked the imperial court to send a messenger to deal with it.

This method of disposal can be seen by a discerning person who knows that it is fake.

After all, when will he be a Ming official who cares about the people?

However, this kind of thing that even a fool would not believe, the imperial court actually agreed?!

Not only agreed, but also sent Qin over!

As a result, he completely missed the problem of solving the traitor, and the traitor directly hit him all the way to Ningguofu!

It's scary, it's scary to think about!

"My lord, do you want us to ...... too?"

Seeing that Zhu Xiyuan was a little moved, Cao Ding continued to bewitch, and while speaking, he also arched his hand to the west.

Zhu Xiyuan saw this meaning at a glance, this is the one who wants him to surrender to Guangdong!

And more importantly, Cao Ding actually has this idea now!

Doesn't that mean that the people under his command have begun to divide?

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiyuan suddenly remembered something.

"Judge Cao Tong, this mansion remembers that you married a concubine yesterday, right?"

"You're really old and strong~"

Zhu Xiyuan looked at Cao Ding deeply and asked.

"Where, where, it's just that the lower officials often exercise, so they look younger."

Cao Ding, who had white hair mixed with black hair, said modestly.

Of course, he knew what Zhu Xiyuan meant by asking this, and he probably guessed that he had a connection with King Yongming.

However, he was not afraid that Zhu Xiyuan would arrest him directly.

Because this is no longer the meaning of one person, but all the officials of Ning Guofu.

Sure enough, Zhu Xiyuan's subsequent reaction was also within his expectations.

"Is your idea to take refuge in King Yongming?"

Zhu Xiyuan looked at Cao Ding with a fearless look, so he simply didn't continue to go around in circles.

He asked directly, "What chips did he give you, can you tell me about it?"

"Of course you can, sir."

Cao Ding said with a smile.

"The emperor promised us those of us that each of us would be promoted to three ranks, rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and would continue to serve in this state."

"This is already a very good condition for us low-ranking officials."

"Huh."

After listening to Cao Ding's words, Zhu Xiyuan smiled coldly.

said: "The promise is very good, but didn't you think that this promise can't be redeemed at all?"

"Didn't you think that if King Yongming was defeated by Nanjing, what would you do then?"

"Continue to surrender Nanjing, it's all the Ming Dynasty anyway, isn't it the same for everyone who surrenders?"

Cao Ding shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

And his appearance completely shocked Zhu Xiyuan!

He had never seen such a brazen person, betrayed in his mouth, and actually exposed it so lightly?!

Don't they have face? Don't you know what courtesy, righteousness, honesty, loyalty, and patriotism are?!

What a wonder of the world!

Although Cao Ding said just now that he was very moved, he still refused.
