In Zhang Shi's opinion, Chen Bei asked this question without any surprise.

It would be better to say that he doesn't ask this question.

So Zhang Shi decided to follow his wishes and continue.

"I also feel a little bit difficult to get on, but... I have to do this."

Zhang Shi pretended to be helpless and said, "I must bear the mistakes I made. Before the Ming Dynasty Yellow River Project is truly completed, I must drive away the Ming Dynasty instructor."

Seeing him say this, Chen Gai's doubts disappeared more than half again, and he even began to consider the feasibility of this matter for Zhang Shi.

"Did the Ming Dynasty watch the fat meat in his mouth be taken away?"

"The initial agreement was two years, and there was only one month left, so we could drive away the Mingguo instructor openly."

Zhang Shi nodded and said, "If we take the initiative to propose, it is ours, and if the Ming people are not willing to leave according to the contract, then it is the Ming people. We have a great reputation, so don't be afraid of them. People from Zhongdu court come, and I also say it."

Chen Gai thought for a moment, frowned slightly and said, "Ming's country is powerful, will it deliberately deny it? Moreover, what if the imperial court puts pressure on us? What should we do if the Ming Dynasty is the superior country after all, the imperial court will be under great pressure."

"I can only take one step at a time."

Zhang Shi shook his head and said, "The current situation is very dangerous for us. Any slightest movement will cause unexpected reactions. Therefore, I must eliminate all the possibility of restlessness so that I can truly stick to Hangzhou, otherwise I will not be able to defend it for a day."

Chen Zai agrees with this.

"If so, what else do you need me to help? Just speak up. I will not refuse what you can, but... Jingfu, are you really not leaving?"

Zhang Feng pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, then laughed out loud, shook his head.

"I won't leave anymore. I've said that. I have to do so many things. I still have to leave. It's not appropriate."

“……………………”

Chen Gai was silent for a long time, and finally looked at Zhang Feng, sighed deeply, said nothing, and said goodbye and left.

A few days later, Zhang Feng was busy preparing to "express" the instructor of Mingguo. Chen Qiao, who had a lot of opinions and doubts about Zhang Qiao, came to Chen Qiao again to express his distrust of Zhang Qiao and suspected that Zhang Qiao had collusion with Mingguo.

Chen Qiao told Ge Shou what Zhang Xiao said to him. Ge Shou heard this and refused to believe it even more.

"Zhang Shi is a Privy Councilor, a high-ranking official and a nobleman. Such a person is willing to give up his wealth and honor to live with the country? It's a big ridiculous thing in the world! Don't you think it's strange? Do you really exist like this?"

Chen Qiao started to hear this and felt that it was no big deal, and even felt a little vaguely agreeing.

But I soon felt something was wrong.

You boy...

Could it be that you are scolding me?

I am also a high-ranking official and noble.

Do you scold me for being greedy for life and fear of death? Do you scold me for being accused of being a sacred person?

Chen Gai looked at Ge Shou with strange eyes.

Ge Shou was proud for a while, and suddenly felt something was wrong in his words. It seemed that not only scolded Zhang Feng, but also brought Chen Jiong in with him...

Ah this...

"My husband, I...I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Zhang Shi, just Zhang Shi."

Ge Shou quickly explains.

Chen Ji's expression was still not good.

"I heard before that you wanted to ask for a position in the Privy Council for a relative, so I asked Zhang Jingfu on the head. Zhang Jingfu refused because your relative was an ignorant gambler. Could it be that you kept holding a grudge against Zhang Jingfu because of this incident?"

Ge Shou was immediately scared.

"Mr., I...I...I'm not. I don't mean that. Zhang Jingfu...He...he is really a little unreasonable, really a little..."

"Enough! In the face of national crisis, you are still making trouble! Only with more people like you can the Song Dynasty reach this point today!"

Chen Gai suddenly became angry, and Ge Shou was so scared that he collapsed on the ground.

Chen Gai's anger was not extinguished, so he ordered Ge Shou to be dismissed and directly driven out of the Hangzhou court, and even the quota for running away that he had been left for him was not given.

Ge Shou lost his wife and soldiers, and he was completely dumbfounded.

After this incident, Chen Gai's doubts about Zhang Shi were greatly reduced. Although it was not considered absolute trust, the inexplicable doubts were gone. He even had a little admiration in his heart, and even a little bit of shame for himself.

He felt a little bit of shame for not being able to achieve Zhang Shi's decisiveness and courage.

After all, he was not a completely shameless person. Perhaps he also wanted to be a model of loyalty and good in his heart. He even thought that the reputation of those loyal and good examples was actually easy to survive, but he just died.

When things came to an end, he realized how difficult it was to say that "just die".

What kind of courage did Li Ruoshui curse the cruel Wanyan Zonghan back then?

What kind of pain did you endure to die?

He once admired Li Ruoshui's integrity and courage, and hoped that he could become such a person, admired by everyone and commemorated by future generations.

But now it seems that he will always have only admiration for Li Ruoshui and cannot imitate it.

He has no courage.

Facing a powerful enemy, facing an enemy who can take his own life at any time, and even the entire Southern Song Dynasty was controlled by the survival of the entire Southern Song Dynasty, Chen Qiao did not have the courage to compete with it head-on.

Chen David, who recognized this, sighed and reconciled with himself.

Although he did not have the courage, as long as he recognized his weakness, running away was an acceptable choice.

Chen Gai has already accepted the ending of lying flat, but Zhang Shi has not.

Zhang Shi still has many things to do.

Although the Skynet Army and the Ming Navy were ready to snipe the bureaucrats who tried to escape overseas, if possible, Zhang Shi wanted to catch them all in Hangzhou.

To do this, it requires the military power of Hangzhou City, the trust of Shenji, and the full grasp of their escape plan.

So Zhang Xiao decided to do something.

He conveyed the news to Su Changsheng through his friend, comrade and colleague Lu You, who was in the Privy Council, hoping to get the cooperation and help from Su Changsheng in expelling Ming army instructors, so that he can gain enough prestige.

In this way, there is a greater probability that the military power in Hangzhou will be obtained, and then all the bureaucrats and powerful people in the entire Hangzhou city will be defeated and solved all the problems.

It would be a good thing to take down the base of the bureaucratic compradors in one breath and help Mingguo eliminate them all in one breath!

Lu You agreed with this.

So with such an instructor, Lu You set out secretly.

After Lu You went to the Ming Kingdom, he kept in contact with Su Changsheng secretly.

He witnessed the social situation of the Ming Dynasty with his own eyes and had a long talk with the officials of the Ming Dynasty. After reading the first and second volumes of "Hongwu Political Commentary", he had a deeper understanding of the revolutionary concepts and social revolutionary policies of the Ming Dynasty, and also had his own views on historical and social issues including the dynasty law.

He finally agreed that the path of Ming Dynasty was the path for the country and nation to move towards the future.

So with the introduction of Su Changsheng, Lu You officially became a secret revival member.

Having said that, he was somewhat hesitant about the issue of the Southern Song court until he knew clearly that Zhao Shen and Yu Yunwen planned to destroy the Yellow River embankment, and he was desperate for the rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty.

After the Second Ming and Song War, the nominal fall of the Southern Song Dynasty and the chaotic struggles among the ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty made him disheartened, so he returned to his hometown to live in idyllic for several months.

Until the situation stabilized, in order to get more help, Zhang Shi contacted Lu You through Su Changsheng's relationship, hoping that Lu You could come back to help him.

[Since the Southern Song Dynasty has lost its final dignity, let us give him a dignity in the end and let it die completely.]

This sentence touched Lu You.

With the idea of ​​completely destroying the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu You returned to Hangzhou and held a position in the Privy Council with the support of Zhang Feng.

He was nominally a middle-level official of the Privy Council, but in fact he was the contact person between Zhang Shi and Su Changsheng. When Zhang Shi was inconvenient, Lu You came forward to negotiate with Su Changsheng.

This time, the same goes for the same.
