After a while, Wu Zheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Remember, what I want is not to defeat them, they are not qualified to be my enemies. My enemy is on the other side of the river, and I will ask for your contributions. But if you want to destroy the court, I will dig the ancestral grave of your Lao Ma family!"

Ma Shiying felt awe-inspiring in his heart. He instantly recalled that he was afraid that he had expressed his loyalty in the wrong way, so he quickly remedyed: "Ma was stupid and actually got the lord's intention wrong. He deserved to die. But... I hope the lord will make it clear."

Wu Zhengxu sighed and said, "Look at them and stare at them. Yingtian Mansion is my back and cannot be misunderstood."

Ma Shiying quickly responded: "I understand. The lord wants to make the lord a pair of eyes and ears in Yingtian Mansion."

When Wu Zheng saw that Ma Shiying had realized it, he slowed down his tone, "There is Zhang Cangshui in government affairs and the Duke of Xingguo in military affairs. I just have to watch out for those people's private actions for me. In addition, you have to keep the money bag of the Ministry of Revenue for me."

When Ma Shiying heard this, he said in surprise: "What is the lord who means, is the subordinate who is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue?"

Wu Zheng stared at Ma Shiying and said coldly: "I don't care what others say about you, but I don't think you are like the rumors. As for what you think, I will wait for time to prove my judgment. This is a good opportunity for you to gain a reputation behind you. I hope you don't mislead yourself, and don't let my expectations down. If the rumors say, we will cut off your dirty hands as soon as possible."

Ma Shiying seemed extremely solemn, "Reply to the lord's words, Hongguang Dynasty has been in destruction for more than two years. Ma traveled thousands of miles and lived in the world. His goal was to win the reputation behind him. Don't worry, lord, starting today, his subordinates will never mislead others or themselves."

"Okay, that's good." Wu Zheng was not sad in his heart. Will he really be like what Ma Shiying said? There are too few people around him.

"Lord, what happened to Mr. Mo in Hangzhou?"

"What's the matter?" Wu Zheng asked again. He was not as upright as Qian Sule. He would think that Mo Zhongnian would not explain the matter clearly and return to Hangzhou.

Only Qian Sule would believe that Ma Shiying was telling the truth.

Sure enough, Ma Shiying reported: "My old man sent a message and Zhang Mingzhen led his army to join the lord."

Wu Zheng was stunned, "Zhang Mingzhen, the general of Zhoushan, was appointed as the army of Zhang Binqing?"

"Yes. According to the messenger, Zhang Mingzhen led more than 1,200 people under his command and dozens of warships have arrived in Hangzhou."

Wu Zheng was a little puzzled. He knew Zhang Mingzhen. He was a famous general in the anti-Qing Dynasty in history. He was not famous yet and was just a stand-alone person.

Zhoushan Navy also belonged to the Ming army. When King Lu was supervising the country, it was originally owned by the Shaoxing Prefecture court. Later, Zhu Youjian ascended the throne in Fujian to establish the Longwu Dynasty. Zhoushan General Huang Binqing turned to the Longwu Dynasty in greed for his official position.

Not long ago, due to the Zhengshu dispute, the Longwu Dynasty and Shaoxing Prefecture were beheaded and envoys came to each other, and they were in trouble. Although Wu Zheng was only a hundred households at that time and was fighting with the Qing army that invaded Shaoxing Prefecture and could not participate in it, there were also heard of such major events.

Now that both sides are incompatible, Zhang Mingzhen suddenly came to surrender. Could it be that something happened?

This matter is of great importance. If it is handled improperly, not only will Wu Zheng lose his reputation, but it will also cause another conflict between the two sides.

It really made Wu Zheng feel a little tricky.

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Thank you to Mr. Mo, treat Zhang Mingzhen and his soldiers well. I will return to Hangzhou to deal with it within three days."

"yes."

....

To everyone's expectations, the grand court meeting was as smooth as yesterday.

Chen Zilong easily occupied the position of chief minister as the head of the five ministers.

Ma Shiying entered the Ministry of Revenue, and was appointed as the Minister of Revenue and the Grand Secretary of the Dongge to the cabinet.

It was not as tense as I imagined.

However, only a few people know that this is the result of the exchange of interests.

But it was a good thing, and the Great Court ended in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Unanimously approved, Princess Changping was appointed to supervise the country and changed the reign to "Qingtai", and the following year was the first year of Qingtai.

It also established that all military and political affairs were subject to the cabinet resolution, and the cabinet officially became the supreme authority of the Qingtai Dynasty.

This time, several forces shook hands and made peace, allowing the Qingtai Dynasty to quickly get rid of internal friction and enter a period of rapid recovery.

The counties under the nine prefectures were quickly included in the rule of the court.

The people began to calm down slowly and their hearts began to gather.

But Wu Zhengjue did not expect that the first major event facing the Qingtai Dynasty was not a threat from the Qing court in Jiangbei, but a request for help from the Longwu Dynasty in the south.

The zodiac is here.

Just when Wu Zheng arranged the matter of Yingtian Prefecture and was about to return to Hangzhou to deal with the issue of Zhang Mingzhen and his soldiers coming to surrender, the important figure in the Longwu Dynasty in the south, Huang Daozhou, who was the Minister of Personnel and Minister of War and the Grand Secretary of Wuying Hall, came.

This is the first civil servant of the Longwu Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the chief minister.

Such a person who is so powerful and personally takes on an envoy means that the Longwu Dynasty is already extremely critical.

The civil and military officials of the Qingtai Dynasty did not even have time to vent their resentment from the beheading of each other on the same day. In just three days, the third grand dynasty meeting began.

Unlike the previous two Da Dynasty, the atmosphere of Da Dynasty has become very depressing this time.

No one who can stand in the court is a fool. Everyone knows the consequences of the Longwu Dynasty's annihilation.

But knowing in my heart is one thing, but how to do it is another.

There are always people who want to use their own selfishness to ignore the current situation.

And there are definitely not a few such people, even in the so-called clear stream, there are also many such people.

Huang Daozhou, a native of Fujian, was a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi. He served as a editor of the Hanlin Academy and was the youngest Zhanshi in the Zhanshi Mansion.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he reached the top of the Longwu Dynasty and served as two ministers.

This rocket-like promotion is no longer new in the chaotic times.

However, when Huang Daozhou became famous, he had to serve as a censor at the time, to argue for Qian Longxi's grievances and oppose Yang Sichang's peace talks and direct advice to the emperor.

Huang Daozhou, who was over forty years, was deeply influenced by his teacher Yuan Keli (a famous loyal minister during the Wanli period, who was first engraved with three levels by Emperor Wanli for bluntly speaking, and then demoted and then returned to his hometown for twenty-six years).

At that time, when Yuan Chonghuan's case was discovered, many officials were implicated and held accountable, and former Grand Secretary Qian Longxi was also implicated and died.

When the incident happened, no one dared to say anything in the court.

Only Huang Daozhou was infuriated by righteous indignation, and the grass was sparse in the night, and he opened his doors and knocked on the brink of the lords to defend Qian Longxi.

The memorial directly points out the faults of Emperor Chongzhen, "now killing the poor will only harm the country."

Emperor Chongzhen was furious when he saw this and "slandered the Qupi" and ordered him to reply.

Huang Daozhou submitted another memorial to defend himself, expressing his mere intentions and "leaving this truth for the national system, border plans, morale, and people's hearts."

This time, he was demoted to the third level to call for "several punishments" in his anti-trial.

But because he argued on the ground, Qian Longxi was unable to die.

Huang Daozhou became famous for his arguments.
