Chapter 17 How can there be no infighting where there are people?

Then Zhao Shi turned around and said mysteriously at Wu Zheng: "Brother Wu, there are many small Bodhisattvas in Shaoxing Prefecture Temple. Don't stand in the wrong team."

Wu Zheng asked in confusion: "Where did Brother Zhao start with this? Isn't Shaoxing Prefecture the State of Lu Jianguo? "

"Look, I know you are not sophisticated." Zhao Shi glanced at Wu Zheng, but his eyes really seemed to have the same meaning as a brother who blamed his younger brother. "We are my own family, so my brother won't hide it. Now there are many forces in Shaoxing Prefecture. Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the most important three parties."

Speaking of this, Zhao Shi swallowed.

Wu Zheng was hearing the important point, and suddenly he broke down, feeling uncomfortable like a cat's claw.

Fortunately, Zhao Shi did not deliberately swear Wu Zheng's appetite, he just said he was tired and took a break. "Lu Jianguo, Lord Zhang, Minister of War, Lord Qian, and others are naturally one side. Duke Yue, General Fang, General Fang of Zhennan, Lord Fang, and King Xingguo, also benevolence..."

Wu Zheng couldn't help but interrupt, "Brother Zhao, now the Tartars are going south. If the court has not learned the lessons of the Hongguang Dynasty, how could there be internal struggles?"

Zhao Shiwen was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said, "Brother Wu, Brother Wu, how could there be no internal struggle in places where there are people? This is related to such great interests. The imperial court can really control the prefectures around Shaoxing. However, the only ones that can actually collect taxes are the eight counties of Shaoxing Prefecture. The taxes of the other prefectures and counties are in the hands of Duke Yue and Duke Xing. Brother Wu is still young and has a long future in the future, but the first premise is to choose the right path."

"So, the State of Lu Jian cannot actually order Duke Yue and Duke Xing?"

"That's not the case. After all, it's still under the command of the Lu Jianguo in name. It's just... you know." Zhao Shi laughed.

"Then are there any other forces?" Wu Zheng sincerely asked for advice at this time.

Zhao Shi looked at Wu Zheng's face, felt the sincerity, nodded with satisfaction, "Brother Wu will choose among these three forces, and the rest of the forces are not in a good way... However, there is a force, Brother Wu must not provoke him, otherwise he will not know how to die."

Wu Zheng asked, "Please give me advice from Brother Zhao."

Zhao Shi looked around and lowered his voice: "Short after King Lu came to Shaoxing to supervise the country, King Zhu Youjian of Tang established the Longwu Dynasty in Fuzhou. Many civil officials suggested that the Lujian State recognize the Longwu Dynasty, but was suppressed by Duke Yue and Duke Xing State."

Wu Zheng said: "We should join forces to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Wouldn't the Lu Jianguo issue an order?"

Zhao Shi glared and said, "Just say you are young. Just say this in front of your brother. If this is passed to outsiders, your future will be over. Not to mention Duke Yue, Duke Xingguo will regard you as an enemy, and even the governor of Lu doesn't like you."

At this time, Zhao Shi's voice was lowered, and he almost touched Wu Zheng's ear and said, "After acknowledging the Longwu Dynasty, Lu Jianguo became a minister of Emperor Longwu. How could anyone who ascends to that position be willing to walk down again?"

Wu Zheng felt a chill and bowed to Zhao Shi solemnly: "Thank you, Brother Zhao, for your advice today, Wu Zheng remembers it in mind."

To be honest, Wu Zheng's impression of Zhao Shi was completely reversed at this time.

Before, the two sides had a bad dialect, and Wu Zheng believed that Zhao Shi was a dirty villain.

But now, Wu Zheng believes that Zhao Shi is still half a good person, at least a real villain.

Zhao Shi was caught off guard by Wu Zheng's solemn bow. He was stunned for a while before laughing: "Everyone said it was his own family, Brother Wu is so polite."

Then he lowered his voice and said, "I want to hide it from my brother. Although my brother is a family, these subordinates are okay to recharge the situation on weekdays. If they really come to the battlefield, I am afraid that few of them will dare to fight to the death. There are still some self-knowing brothers. If there is that day in the future, I hope Brother Wu will think of today's love and bring brothers a hand."

Wu Zheng replied: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, as long as Wu Zheng is not dead, he will repay the advice of Brother Zhao today."

Zhao Shi nodded repeatedly, patted Wu Zheng on the shoulder, and smiled and said, "Okay, okay! Brother Wu is a person who does big things, so he will do his best."

....

Shaoxing Prefecture, government office.

Now it is the headquarters for the Lu State to convene all ministers and ministers to discuss matters.

Zhu Yihai, the 28-year-old King of Lu, sat upright in the middle.

Two or thirty civil and military officials on both sides were arranged.

At this time, a young civil official came out and said: "I report to the State Supervisor, and I want to impeach Duke Yue and Duke Xing. The two Dukes took over the original battalions and guards in eastern Zhejiang without authorization, claiming to be the main soldiers, excluding all the Yi soldiers and cutting off the food and supplies of Yi soldiers."

Fang Guoan, the Duke of Yue, who was the first military minister on the left, pointed at the civil minister and cursed: "You Zhang Huangyan, you are a mere seventh-rank military officer, and dare to frame and impeach your Duke?"

The king of Xingguo was beside Fang Guoan, but he did not scold Zhang Huangyan like Fang Guoan. He said: "I am the Duke of the country and Duke of Yue took over the camp and guards to purify the military force and fight against the Qing army in Jiangbei. What's wrong with the Duke of the People's Republic of China? As for the rebel army, it is true that his fighting power is full of enthusiasm, but his combat power is low, and a group of mobs have only paid the court's food and money. The Duke of the Kingdom and Duke of Yue did not order them to disband, which is a blessing from the law."

Zhang Huangyan said angrily: "But why did the two Dukes intercept taxes from various prefectures and counties in eastern Zhejiang? This year, except for Shaoxing Prefecture, more than 600,000 yuan of grain in eastern Zhejiang were secretly intercepted by the two. Shouldn't this be distributed by the court? Where did the two Dukes establish the Lu Jianguo and the court?"

Fang Guoan snorted lightly and said, "This money and grain are originally the army's food and money. It's just a few more losses."

Faced with such shameless face, Zhang Huangyan was extremely angry and fought back speechlessly.

At this time, a thin middle-aged official walked out of the civil servants on the right.

He first bowed to the State of Supervisor Lu, and then the other party and the other party said, "What the two Dukes said is different. Money, grain and taxes are the lifeline of the court. How to distribute it is the authority of the State of Supervisor and the court. How can the two Dukes be usurped as ministers?"

Fang Guoan shook his sleeves and reached out to point out the thin middle-aged official and shouted: "Qian Sule, are you talking too much? Who doesn't know that you still have thousands of rebels under your command. It turns out that you just want to get one of them."

Qian Sule snorted coldly, turned around and bowed to the Lu Jianguo and said, "Report to the Jianguo, I am willing to disband the rebel army from now on. However, Duke Yue and Duke Xingguo's actions will not be an example, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Fang Guoan was furious and stepped forward and said, "Super the country, Qian Sule instigated, disbanded, slandered, and falsely accused his own Duke and Xingguo Duke, and asked the State to punish him."

Zhu Yihai, who looked like a wooden man, finally moved.

He looked at Zhang Guowei, the Minister of War who had been silent.

When Zhang Guowei saw that the Lu Jianguo seemed to be unable to avoid it.

So he went out and said, "In the autumn of war, the country is destroyed and is about to be restored. You are all loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all for the great cause of anti-Qing. Why can't we discuss it carefully?"
