The military arrangement was decided like this. After the meeting was dispersed, everyone left, but Li Yan stayed. After all the others left, they came to find Shang Yi alone.-

Shang Yi said: "Is there anything else Mr. Li?"

Li Yan nodded and said, "Mr. General Secretary, now King Lu and King Lu are both appointed as supervisors, and the envoys they sent are already in Hangzhou. I don't know which one of them is going to choose to support them."

Shang Yi smiled and understood that Li Yan meant to let him play the game of using the emperor to command the princes. He did have this plan at the beginning, but later, under the inspiration of Ye Xingshi, he had changed his mind. However, now he can listen to Li Yan's opinions, so he said: "So, Mr. Li's opinion, who should he support?"

Li Yan said: "These two kings have their own strengths. The King of Lu is the nearby branch of the Zhu family, and it is also a historical branch. The two old masters of Wu are willing to choose. They are a suitable candidate, but now they are established by the remnants of the Donglin Party, and most of the former Ming ministers are under their jurisdiction. They may not be able to control them. However, the King of Lu is a single person and has no capable person around him. They are easy to control, but he is a remote branch of the Zhu family and it is difficult to convince the public. However, the meaning below is that no matter which one is chosen, as long as one of them is supported, from then on, the adults can command the entire south in the name of orthodox, and then the great cause will naturally be visible. Moreover, their locations are not far from Hangzhou, so the adults should make a decision, otherwise they may be taken first by others."

Shang Yi smiled, shook his head, and said, "Mr. Li, I will not choose these two supervisors."

Li Yan was stunned for a moment. He didn't choose either. It was so difficult to say that Shang Yi planned to raise the flag and stand on his own immediately? Although this was exactly what Li Yan wanted, now is not a good time to stand on his own, because the Ming Dynasty had just been destroyed and had considerable influence. Moreover, Shang Yi was a famous debate and was a minister of the Ming Dynasty. Ma declared his independence, which was probably not popular. He was thinking about how to persuade him.

Shang Yi seemed to see his thoughts and said, "Or, we support these two governors."

Li Yan was a little confused now and said, "Both support?"

Shang Yi then smiled and explained: "It is indeed possible to provide many conveniences to the princes, but this must be based on the premise that there is only one emperor. Now two supervisors have appeared. No matter which one of them we support, they will not admit it or obey our orders. If it were in the period of stability, we might have been able to conquer the other side by force, but now the army of the Qing army is approaching, how can we kill each other? And now only now

I think there will be more people who will support the descendants of the Zhu family in a few months, and they will even be directly supported by the king. Therefore, if there are more states, they will be worthless. On the contrary, they will also bring a lot of trouble. For example, the remnants of the Donglin Party and some former Ming officials who often support themselves with loyalty and righteousness, and are proud of their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. They will definitely focus on the state and oppose us everywhere, and even cause party disputes. Although we are not afraid, why bother to cause these troubles?"

After hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. What Shang Yi said was indeed reasonable. He only thought of the favorable side of supporting a state-controlled state, but he did not expect that there was another disadvantage.

Shang Yi continued: "So, as long as we are descendants of the family, whether they are promoted to be a ruling or emperor, we can admit it in the famous discussion, but this is the case. We will neither take him to Hangzhou for worship, nor will we truly obey his orders. We should develop ourselves, resist the Qing army, and still resist the Qing army. We should be the main one. They will let them make trouble any troubles themselves. Isn't this better? As long as we have mastered enough strength, what are we afraid of others?"

Li Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and had to admit that Shang Yi's countermeasure to adapt to changes in a constant manner seemed clumsy, but it was indeed more powerful than wielding the emperor to make the princes, because he was a Tianjie who could not command the princes. What's the use? On the contrary, it was indeed a trouble. Shang Yi's power was able to develop smoothly to this day because Shang Yi gave up the opportunity to settle in Nanjing several times before, and seemed to have lost the opportunity to enter the central organization, but he avoided the political struggle in Nanjing and could develop calmly in Zhejiang according to his own wishes.

The reason is the same now. Everyone supports it, and if there are a few stations, they will not be held accountable. In this way, they will not be held accountable and maintain the status of the Ming Dynasty ministers in famous discussions, and can develop themselves without being disturbed by other disturbances. Shang Yi is right. In troubled times, his own strength is the most important thing. Without strength, everything else is a cloud.

After all, Li Yan was also a very talented person, so he immediately figured out this point, but Ma thought of it and said, "If the supervisor took the initiative to come to Hangzhou, what should we do? You can't keep him out?"

Shang Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Li is worried too much. Even if a ruling state wants to come to Hangzhou, will the official who supports this ruling state come at the same time?"

After hearing Shang Yi's words, Li Yan couldn't help laughing. Everyone knew that Zhejiang was Shang Yi's territory. Once he arrived in Hangzhou, he naturally came to Shang Yi's control. In the end, Shang Yi picked up a ready-made one. Of course, no one was willing to do it. It seemed that Shang Yi had already calculated this point. But he didn't expect that Shang Yi was not only good at using military forces and governing government, but also did not make any mistakes in playing tricks.

Therefore, Li Yan also bowed to Shang Yi and said, "Sir, you are so smart, I'll take your leave first."

After Li Yan left, Shang Yi ordered someone to invite Shi Kefa and Wu Qi to come.

In fact, after Shi Kefa returned to Hangzhou, he also discussed with Wu Yan how to deal with Lu and Lu's two supervisors, but this matter was too sensitive, and the position they were now in is embarrassing. Although both of them now have a high reputation and are willing to support Lu Wang, unfortunately they have not received the title of Lu Wang Wang. In other words, they are not considered officials in the court of Lu Wang Wang's supervisor. After understanding this, the two of them could not help but exhale most of the enthusiasm of the two. Now the only hope is that Shang Yi can take Lu Wang to Hangzhou, so that there will be a chance. Therefore, when Shang Yi asked them to discuss matters, they all rushed to the Supervisor's Mansion.

After hearing Shang Yi's attitude, both of them were stunned. Isn't Shang Yi showing his footsteps on two boats? But there is really no way to say that Shang Yi is wrong, because Shang Yi did not refuse to recognize these two governors, but both admitted it. Although in terms of blood, Lu King Zhu Changqing was indeed closer than Lu King Zhu Yihai, in terms of procedures, neither of them received proof documents such as the edict of the late emperor. Therefore, neither of them had a legitimate reason to serve as governors, and they could not just say who was truly orthodox.

Moreover, Shang Yi also gave the ancestral teaching that the Ming Dynasty generals were not allowed to interfere in government affairs. With this treasure weapon to protect him, Shi Kefa and Wu Qi were completely speechless. However, Shi Kefa was still a little unwilling to accept it and asked again: "Yiheng, what if both the governors came to Hangzhou?"

Shang Yi also smiled and said, "The major affairs of the state supervision are not something that can be discussed below. If both state supervision have come to Hangzhou, of course, the main ones will be the first ones."

After Shang Yi said this, Shi Kefa had nothing to say, because what Shang Yi said made sense, first come first served. Shang Yi said again: "Two Pavilion Masters, I will invite two envoys to meet at the same time tomorrow and officially announce the decision of Zhejiang to them. Therefore, I also invite the two Pavilion Masters to attend together."

Shi Kefa also nodded, said goodbye to Wu Qi, and left the governor's mansion. After leaving the governor's mansion, Shi Kefa immediately pulled Wu Qi to find Huang Zongxi.

Wu Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Xianzhi, what are you doing?"

Shi Kefa said: "Go and find Taichong, ask him to write a letter to Huizhou immediately, and ask Lu Wangma to come to Hangzhou, Huizhou, and Wenzhou. The two places are similar. If we can get one day in advance, we will definitely be in front of Lu Wang."

Wu Yan shook his head and said, "It's useless. What if Tai Chong writes a letter back to Huizhou? Will those people in Huizhou ask King Lu to come to Hangzhou?"

Shi Kefa was also stunned for a moment, calmed down and thought about his situation in Huizhou, and understood that Zhu Dadian, Yuan Hongxun, and Zhang Bingzhen would definitely not let King Lu come to Hangzhou, because when King Lu arrived in Hangzhou, they naturally stood aside. Their wishful thinking was to control King Lu in his hands and command Shang Yi. In fact, after returning to Hangzhou, Shi Kefa also figured out this point, but he forgot about it just now.

At this time, Wu Qing said again: "Don't say that King Lu won't come to Hangzhou, I think even King Lu won't come to Hangzhou."

Shi Kefa thought about it, couldn't help but smile bitterly, nodded, and said, "Lu, you're right. So what should we do now?"

Wu Xuan said: "The most urgent task now is to resist the southern invasion of the Qing army. Now Shang Yi is the only one who can resist the Qing army in the south. Therefore, it is best for us to stay in Hangzhou now and help Shang Yi resist the Qing army's attack, which is also considered to be a useful thing for the court." After a pause, he said: "And neither Lu nor Lu are we invaded!"

In fact, Wu Yan's political sensitivity is much stronger than Shi Kefa. When he heard Shang Yi's attitude, he understood Shang Yi's plan, which was to be able to get along with King Lu and King Lu, and to maintain the status of Ming Dynasty as a minister, but he still maintained the separatist independence of Zhejiang without participating in their struggle for power and profit. However, he had to say that this move was very clever. Now his only way out is to tie him up with Shang Yi, use Shang Yi's momentum to increase his reputation, and then look for other opportunities.

Shi Kefa was not as much as Wu Qi thought, so he couldn't help but sigh, shook his head, and didn't say anything else.
