The reason why Zhu Mai agreed to give up Lu Zhenfei to meet the prince Zhu Ciyang was because Zhao Peng had already investigated this person. Through the investigation of the Jinyiwei, he learned that Lu Zhenfei was an upright official and a reliable loyal minister. Only then did the two decided to let the prince show up in front of Lu Zhenfei and discuss the next countermeasures together.

Everyone in the lobby was cleared. Zhao Peng went out to call the prince. Only Lu Zhenfei and Zhu Meiyu were left in the lobby. At this time, Zhu Cilang, wearing a black six-pound pointed iron helmet, a black flying fish suit, and a black iron armor covering her outside, walked in.

Lu Zhenfei was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Tianqi. He served as a censor in the capital for a period of time, so he naturally met Zhu Cilang. Later, because he offended Zhou Yanru, he was taken to Nanjing to work as a free job. Although Nanjing also had a set of six ministries like the capital, the officials who worked in Nanjing were basically retired. After all, Lu Zhenfei was young, so he had the opportunity to be promoted. In the sixth year of Chongzhen, he was transferred to Fujian Inspector Censor.

Seeing the Crown Prince Zhu Cilang, Lu Zhenfei quickly stood up from the chair of the Grand Master, walked to Zhu Cilang, and knelt down and saluted: "I don't know that there are many negligences in the Eastern Palace coming to Huai'an. I hope the Crown Prince will forgive me!"

Zhu Cixuan helped Lu Zhenfei up: "What is the crime of Lu General System? This is because our palace does not want to reveal its whereabouts."

"Who knows that the Crown Prince, if the Crown Prince can ascend the throne to Nanjing, I will support the Prince to establish him!" Lu Zhenfei saluted again. He naturally knew the prince's meaning. After all, Zhu Yousong had ascended the throne. At this time, the crown prince would abdicate and give it to the crown prince to sit on the throne? It is obviously impossible. Zhu Cixuan's move must be to prepare for the change of siege. The crown prince did not reveal his whereabouts and secretly arrived in Nanjing. Kill Zhu Yousong by chance could only regain the throne.

Although the incident of the Sect-Slaying Sect may cause internal strife, Lu Zhenfei still recognized the prince's doing this in his heart. After all, the prince Zhu Cilang of Chongzhen was the most orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yousong was still far from it.

In fact, when the four towns in Jiangbei and a group of civil servants in the court supported Zhu Yousong, Lu Zhenfei did not support him. After all, King Fu's reputation was too bad, and he was stinking to the wind for ten miles! However, at that time, the whereabouts of the prince were unknown, and there was no other more suitable candidate among the vassal kings. Lu Zhenfei had to pinch his nose and recognize King Fu as the emperor.

Now that the purest prince is here, can Lu Zhenfei still go and report to others and cheat His Highness? Lu Zhenfei immediately stood on the side of the prince with a clear stand. If His Highness can successfully seize the change of the sect, then Lu Zhenfei will be the minister of the dragon!

"I should take back the orthodox Ming Dynasty, but most of the Chinese civil and military officials in the court supported King Fu. I really lacked manpower in my hands, so how can I take back the throne?" Zhu Cixuan sighed.

Lu Zhenfei said respectfully: "I will fully support His Highness Zhengoru Prince. I also know that there is one person who will definitely support His Highness. This person is in Yangzhou. The former Minister of War Shi Xianzhi (Shi Kefa) of Nanjing will fully support His Highness! I can follow His Highness to Yangzhou and discuss it after seeing Shi Xian."

Shi Kefa actually always opposed Zhu Yousong's ascension to the throne. He listed the greed, lust, alcoholism, unfiliality, abuse of subordinates, and failure to study. Originally, the emperor he elected was King Lu, Zhu Changqing, but Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng joined forces with the Caojiang Admiral Liu Kongzhao and the four towns in Jiangbei to escort Zhu Yousong to Yizhen, and Shi Kefa had to welcome him.

If the crown prince Zhu Ciyang suddenly appeared in Yangzhou, then who would Shi Kefa support? Of course, it goes without saying that he would definitely support the crown prince Zhu Ciyang. After all, people like Shi Kefa have very high requirements for their own moral standards. Without knowing the life and death of the crown prince, Shi Kefa opposed the rise of Fu King Zhu Yousong. If he saw the living crown prince in front of him, could Shi Kefa not support the crown prince?

"Zhoulu must not expose the identity of the prince's brother in front of outsiders." Zhu Mei-seok interrupted.

"Please rest assured Your Highness, Princess, I know the severity of this matter." Lu Zhenfei turned around and bowed.

That night, the Zheng family, the boss of the Lianghuai salt merchant, invited a banquet for the princess and the son-in-law. Zheng Yuanxun, the head of the Zheng family, was a Jinshi last year and is now the head of the Qing official department of the Ministry of Personnel. His father, Zheng Ziyan, was a salt merchant sacrificial wine, which is equivalent to the later chairman of the salt merchant chamber of commerce. The Zheng family was the leader of the Lianghuai salt merchant who was a combination of official and business, so there is no need to mention the financial resources.

Although Zheng Yuanxun, the head of the Zheng family, had no time to come from Yangzhou, his nephew Zheng Weihong arranged the banquet very grandly.

A grand banquet was held in Liuyi Garden on the bank of Xiaohu. Although the gardens in Huai'an are not as good as those in Yangzhou and Suzhou, they are also extremely luxurious. Princess Kunxing and Fei Zhen'e and other female relatives were arranged in the inner hall to be with the Zheng family's female relatives. The female relatives in the inner hall had more than ten tables. In addition to the female relatives of the Zheng family, there were also the nobles and nobles in Huai'an city and the wives and ladies of the salt merchants. Zhao Peng, Gao Wencai and other Jinyiwei officials were arranged in the outer hall, and more than twenty tables were placed in the outer hall. Except for Lu Zhenfei that did not come, all the nobles and nobles in Huai'an city arrived, including the governor of Huai'an, the general of the river patrol, the general of the river patrol, Cao Hu, Hu Shoujin, Qin Dapeng and other generals of the major salt merchants, and the well-known local figures arrived.

Among the people brought by Zhao Peng, the Ming army was invited to Liuyi Garden with the Jinyiwei flag and above. More than 100 tables of banquets were placed in the open air. In addition to Zhao Peng's people, the local garrison officers and gentry above arrived. Of course, scholars disdained the same table as vulgar martial artists, so scholars naturally sat with the officers.

Of course, the wine and food for the outdoor banquets in the inner and outer halls are different. The standards for the banquets used by the nobles in the outer hall and the women in the inner halls are the same, all filled with delicacies. The outdoor banquets outside are just ordinary chicken, duck, fish and meat. However, Zhao Peng's Jinyiwei officers and infantry officers were displaced and displaced refugees not long ago, and they were all bitter. When did they see such a scene? Naturally, as soon as the wine and food were served, people couldn't wait to feast, which made the students at the table next to them frown.

"A group of vulgar martial artists will never be able to go to the table!" Someone in the hall heard the noise outside and muttered.

"Shh, whisper, this is not an ordinary martial artist, they are all Jinyiwei." Someone reminded the man to be careful when speaking.

Although the man spoke very lightly, he still couldn't escape Zhao Peng's ears. Hearing that a scholar was so humiliating the soldiers, Zhao Peng stood up and walked to the man. He saw that this man was white and tender, and a handsome handsome young man. However, in Zhao Peng's eyes, he always felt that this guy seemed a little too feminine and lacked masculinity, just like a sissy man in later generations.

"Who are you?" Zhao Peng stared at the man's eyes, making the man dare not look directly at him. "Why are he so arrogant? A vulgar martial artist? If there were no vulgar martial artists like us, could you still be here? The iron hooves of the Tatars would have flattened here long ago!"

Someone next to him said, "Mr. Prince Consort, this is the son of the Hou family, and Hou Fangyu, the son of Hou Dazhen (Hou Xun) family."

"Hou Fangyu?" Zhao Peng felt that this name seemed very familiar. Although he was a novice in history, he had heard of the reputation of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, including the stories of Li Xiangjun and Hou Fangyu. Thinking of this, he sneered, "Young Master Hou? Hahaha! I heard that he was a soft-fed man who didn't spend money on brothels and relied on women to support him?"

As he said that, Zhao Peng punched Hou Fangyu hard in the face, which made his little white face bloom on the spot and two of his front teeth fell off. Only Zhao Peng yelled: "Management and capital hate soft-fried men the most! Bah, he is simply not a man!"

"Why did you hurt someone?" Everyone was upset.
