Xia Wanchun defended unwillingly: "Princess Changping is the legitimate daughter of the late emperor, and has a noble status..."

"No matter how noble she is, it cannot change the fact that she is a woman. According to your words, if Princess Changping enters the city, how can she support King Lu, and how can the Duke of Jinghai be willing to submit? At the beginning, it was Wu Zheng who proposed to support Princess Changping, and wanted to discuss with him, and undoubtedly seeking a flirt with the tiger! If you still recognize me as a husband, just step aside and obey my orders, otherwise today will be the time when you and my master and apprentice break up."

Xia Wanchun was scolded speechless, so he had to bow his head and retreat.

Qian Qiaogong started from Jiaxing Prefecture and had a good personal relationship with Xia Wanchun. Like Xia Wanchun, he admired Chen Zilong very much. When he met, he was called a gentleman.

But at this time, Qian Qiaogong couldn't sit still. He was a young man, and he was full of energy and would rather kill him than not say anything in his heart.

"Mr. Wozi said, there may be some truth. Originally, Mr. Wozi had an old relationship with his father, and the students did not dare to rebel. However, this matter is related to the future of the court and the success or failure of the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. Students did not dare to hide their own personalities, and they would be happy to say something."

Chen Zilong heard Qian Qiao's implicit meaning and said in a deep voice: "As long as you have the world in mind and keep the people in your heart, you can naturally say anything. As for my friendship with Lingzun, you don't have to worry about it!"

Qian Qiaogong bowed and then said aloud: "Today we are fortunate to gather in front of Hongwu Gate. Although yesterday was not very pleasant, we were able to sit down and discuss calmly. It was not easy for us to have no bloody incident. But have you ever thought about it? Who can we attribute this to?"

Qian Qiaogong glanced around and said with a sigh: "The first contribution should be Jinghai Hou. He advocated the Northern Expedition. Even after capturing Suzhou, Shaoxing Prefecture was besieged by the Qing army. More than a dozen imperial decrees of the court urged Jinghai Hou to return. Jinghai Hou had no choice but to transfer back 10,000 troops. After that, he resisted the opposition and led only a few thousand people to the rescue of Yingtian Prefecture. If it weren't for him, how could we discuss supporting the new king in front of Hongwu Gate today?"

Chen Zilong's face turned pale and pointed at Qian Qiao and cursed: "How could Zhiting have a son who is ignorant? Do you know that these warriors with heavy troops have always been the source of chaos. They should be warned and guarded against it! Not to mention that he did not obey the orders and made the northern expedition without authorization, just say that he was the only one who restored Yingtian Mansion? I, countless good men of the Ming Dynasty, sprinkled blood on the battlefield, but instead achieved his first achievements? Absurd!"

Qian Qiaogong was not Xia Wanchun after all. He did not retreat, but instead retorted: "Mr. Wozi, the students are indeed ignorant, and they have become warriors who were banned and guarded by Mr. Wozi. I was the thousand households under the command of Jinghai Hou at that time."

Chen Zilong said in a whisper, "He is so respected that he thinks it is natural to be respected."

Now that I am being criticized by a young man like Qian Qiaogong in public, how can I not be angry?

"How dare you bully me?" Chen Zilong knocked on Qian Qiaogong with a loud shout.

Fortunately, the literary people around Chen Zilong hugged him, and Xia Wanchun immediately rushed to meet him, which avoided a "civil and military" fight in front of Hongwu Gate.

At this time, Wang Zhiren finally spoke, "Calculate the time, Your Highness of the Superintendent should have arrived in Yingtian Mansion. Should we go and welcome it?"

Hearing Wang Zhiren's words, Chen Zilong calmed down instead. He shook the person who hugged him and sneered at Wang Zhiren: "Originally, there was someone who chose Duke Xingguo. It seems that you are going to stand against the scholars in the world?"

Wang Zhiren sneered and said, "I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty, loyal to the emperor, and supervising the country. As for whom I am honored, I do not want to get involved. In my opinion, this kind of thing should not be interfered with by the ministers. Do Mr. Wozi agree?"

Chen Zilong's face froze, and he could naturally hear Wang Zhiren's disguised accusation of being a minister in disguise.

"Ha...he!" Chen Zilong said coldly, "Duke Xingguo said it naturally, but Chen didn't understand. Since Duke Xingguo had no intention of this, why should he lead his army to Hongwu Gate?"

Wang Zhiren replied directly without hesitation: "I was entrusted by Jinghai Hou Nan before returning to the south, and the matters of the Prime Minister Yingtian Prefecture is temporarily. Moreover, I am the only Duke in the court, and he also holds the two naval navy troops in his hand, and is responsible for the heavy responsibility of garrisoning the southern capital. I heard that there was a small trouble in front of Hongwu Gate, how could I not lead my troops to come?"

Chen Zilong sneered: "Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart."

Wang Zhiren replied: "If someone wants to save the treacherous man with the heart of a villain, I will not be able to stop him."

Chen Zilong was so angry that he was furious that he laughed angrily: "Hingguo Gong has good intentions, how can he make wedding clothes for others?"

Wang Zhiren's face changed a little now, "What do you mean?"

Chen Zilong shook his sleeves and said, "You are just trying to follow Wu Zheng here and support Princess Changping. Do you think that only in this way can you not be in opposition to Wu Zheng. But you didn't expect that if Princess Changping ascended the throne, not to mention whether this can convince the hearts of the world. Just say that after Changping ascended the throne, Wu Zheng would definitely not be able to escape the regaining of his first merit. In terms of merit, at least he would be granted a title of Duke, and the merit of supporting him seems that it would be no problem to be granted a title of King of the Different Family. At that time, the Duke of the Court and the Duke of Xingguo even surpassed Duke Xingguo to be a King of the Different Family. What should Duke Xingguo do to do? Is it only Wu Zheng's order to obey him?"

Wang Zhiren did not respond, but his face became more solemn.

"Duke Xingguo may be broad-minded and doesn't care. But Princess Changping is a marriageable age. I heard that Your Highness and Wu Zheng were a little... What would happen if the princess married Wu Zheng? The king would not be able to satisfy Wu Zheng's ambitions. The whole court would become his one-man. Duke Xingguo, then you will have no room for resistance except to bow down and surrender. And Zhu Ming Tianxia might become the Wu family at any time."

Wang Zhiren said sternly: "You are sowing discord."

"Doesn't you provoke discord? With Duke Xingguo's wisdom, you will naturally be clear in your heart." Chen Zilong pointed back and pointed at the surrendered soldiers and said, "Duke Xingguo now has heavy troops, but Wu Zheng's troops are far more than you. These people may be in a yellow robe at any time. Should Duke Xingguo be a Ming minister or a Wu minister?"

Wang Zhiren's face was dark and he sat down on the chair dejectedly.

But at this time, the surrendered generals heard Chen Zilong's words and started to make noise, "Chen Zilong, you are slandering." "Well, since they don't believe us, why don't we support Jinghai Hou as the emperor?" "That is, Jinghai Hou is generous and has clear rewards and punishments. He is much better than these literati as an emperor."

...For a moment, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Chen Zilong smiled, and pointed behind, heading towards Wang Zhiren, "Duke Xingguo heard it, this is what you think is loyal ministers and good generals. I hope that they will regain their wisdom and will undoubtedly seek skin from the tiger."
