The title of King Lu as the crown prince was the condition that Zhejiang East surrendered to him. Zhu Youjian was silent after hearing Zhao Ming's words.

The princes are usually the emperor's sons. Only when the emperor has no sons will he choose a royal family with a close relationship to be the prince.

The emperor naturally wanted to pass the throne to his son. How could he pass the throne to others unless he had no choice?

Furthermore, as an emperor, even if there is a prince, the emperor will not usually establish a crown prince too early. Because once the crown prince is established, ministers will inevitably curry favor with the crown prince and thus divide the emperor's rights, which most emperors cannot tolerate.

Zhu Youjian did not have a prince, but it did not mean that there would be no one in the future. He was unable to accept it for a while to make him the King of Lu the crown prince.

After Zhao Ming finished speaking, seeing Zhu Youjian frowning, he winked at Zheng Sen next to him. Zheng Sen hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am brave. I think that the enemy is in front of me, and it is not appropriate to fight with my surname. This is an excellent opportunity for Your Majesty to unify the Ming Dynasty and become the common ruler of the world."

Zhu Youjian looked at Zheng Sen, feeling a little disappointed, "Your dear also agrees with this proposal!"

Zheng Sen nodded, "I think this proposal of Bo'an is conducive to resisting the Qing Dynasty!"

Zhao Ming saluted again and looked at Emperor Longwu with a little deep meaning, "Your Majesty, my opinion can resolve Your Majesty's current dilemma!"

Zhu Youjian narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Ming. He realized something that could solve the current dilemma and moved him. He suddenly turned around, turned his back to the two of them, and then waved his hand: "The two Qing families retreat first. This matter is very important, let me consider it!"

Seeing this, Zhao Ming and Zheng Sen looked at each other, then bowed and left the imperial study room.

When the two walked in the palace, Zhao Ming remembered Yan Yingyuan and others, so he said to Zheng Sen: "Damu, Mr. Yan and I arrived in Fujing with him. There were many scholars accompanying him. We had used up all the money, so please help me."

Zheng Sen's face showed joy, "Oh, Mr. Yan has arrived too! Rest assured about this matter, hold it on my body!"

Zhao Ming said again: "After all, I am a member of King Lu. Recommending Lord Yan to Your Majesty will only affect Lord Yan's future. I hope you will come forward to recommend Lord Yan so that Lord Yan will not be marked as King Lu and will not be trusted by Your Majesty."

Zheng Sen frowned and said, "After I arrived in Fujing, I recommended Bo'an to Your Majesty, as well as Duke Yan and Duke Chen, and his Majesty also issued an order to go to Zhoushan. However, General Huang of Zhoushan said that you have surrendered to the King of Lu. Your Majesty was still angry about this matter. Did Duke Yan not accept the title of King of Lu?"

When Zhao Ming heard the words, he immediately understood that Huang Binqing had no idea why he didn't want Zhao Ming and others to be valued by Emperor Longwu, so he deceived the emperor.

"I am the only one who accepts the canonization. Mr. Yan has been on Jintang Island, waiting for the imperial edict from the court!" Zhao Ming said indifferently.

Zheng Sen was silent. Huang Binqing had a close relationship with Zheng Zhilong. This matter might have something to do with his father. He was silent for a while, "I will explain to Your Majesty that I would recommend Mr. Yan to become an official in the court."

The two were talking, and they were about to leave the palace, when the eunuch suddenly caught up and called out from behind, "General Zhao wait!"

Zhao Ming and Zheng Sen stopped, turned around, the eunuch walked over quickly and saluted, "Your Majesty General Zhao has something to ask you!"

Zheng Sen said: "Have your Majesty called me?"

The eunuch saluted and said, "Your Majesty only called General Zhao, but did not mention the surname of the country."

Seeing this, Zheng Sen immediately said to Zhao Ming: "Then I'll leave first!"

Zheng Sen left the palace, while Zhao Ming followed the eunuch and returned to the imperial study room. Zhu Youjian was still standing in front of the map and lost his mind.

Although he was an emperor who wanted to restore his foundation, he was trapped in Fujing City. Longwu poured his wish to regain his rivers and mountains on the map.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing this, Zhao Ming felt a little sympathetic to the person in front of him.

Zhu Youjian turned around and looked at Zhao Ming, but his eyes were sharp, "What does the Qing family mean to solve the current dilemma?"

Zhao Ming understood what Zhu Youjian meant, and saw that there was no one left and right in the study, so he said, "Your Majesty's dilemma is that there are Jiannu who is eyeing him outside, there are conflicts between the same surname and the constrained by powerful ministers. It can be said that he is both internal and external.

Zhu Youjian did not deny it, but said in a deep voice: "How to solve this situation?"

Zhao Ming replied: "Your Majesty cannot change the threat of Jiannu at the moment. The key to breaking the situation is to solve the internal troubles first, and only by resolving the internal troubles can you fight against external troubles."

When Zheng Sen was not here, Zhao Ming had no scruples, so he became bold and bowed to salute, "Your Majesty's internal worries are, one is King Lu, and the other is Zheng Zhilong. Now Your Majesty is in Fujing and the government is controlled by Zheng Zhilong, so Your Majesty can do it. In this situation, continuing to fight with King Lu will neither suppress King Lu nor solve Zheng Zhilong, but will instead let Jiannu benefit. Now the King of Lu is willing to surrender, and Your Majesty only needs the position of crown prince to satisfy the hearts of 100,000 soldiers in eastern Zhejiang. If Your Majesty is supported by King Lu, Zheng Zhilong will have checks and balances, and Your Majesty can use the power of King Lu to fight Zheng Zhilong and carry out the business of revival."

Zhu Youjian pondered for a while, and he called Zhao Ming back, but he was actually already moved.

If the status quo will continue to be maintained, the Fujing court and eastern Zhejiang will be destroyed by the Qing army sooner or later. To change the situation, Zhu Youjian will have to make changes to end the current puppet state.

Obviously, it is impossible to change the situation in the court with Zhu Youjian's own strength now. Then accepting King Lu and turning King Lu into his own ally is a good choice.

As for the position of crown prince, it doesn’t matter if it is given to Zhu Yihai now.

First, use Zhu Yihai to get rid of Zheng Zhilong's control, resist the attacks of the Qing army, wait until the throne is firm and the country is stable, and then talk about the issue of inheritance of the throne.

After all, the crown prince is not the king, so he can be abolished.

As an emperor with great ambitions and talent, Zhu Youjian quickly saw the pros and cons.

Suddenly, Zhu Youjian came over and held Zhao Ming's hands clasped his fists, "I misunderstood the Qing family. The Qing family is really for me and for the country of Ming Dynasty." As he said that, Zhu Youjian shook Zhao Ming's hands heavily and said sincerely: "I decided that if King Lu is willing to regard me as the truth, I will be the crown prince of the day and I am willing to enthrone the King of Lu as the crown prince!"

Zhao Ming couldn't help but feel happy, "This is really a blessing for the country!"

Zhu Youjian let go of Zhao Ming's hand and suddenly said melancholy: "In this way, although Zhejiang East is not fighting with me, Zheng Zhilong is domineering in the court, and the northern barbarians are fierce in the offensive, and the country and the country are still in danger!"

Zhao Ming took a step forward and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have a plan to get rid of Zheng Zhilong and at the same time fight against the Qing army."

Zhu Youjian was stunned when he heard this. He had trusted Zhao Ming more now, so he hurriedly asked, "He Ce?"

Zhao Ming said: "Fujian is the old nest of Zheng's family. Zheng Zhilong has strong power. If you want to get rid of Zheng's control, you can move to southern Jiangxi and inspect Huguang. The land of Fujian is far away from the front line of the anti-Qing. Your Majesty is in Fujian. One is that Zheng Zhilong is restrained, and the other is that you cannot command the front line. Now the Ming formation is like a snake in Changshan, headed by eastern Zhejiang, Jiangxi as the belly, Hunan, Guangxi, and Yungui as the tail. Now the King of Lu has restrained the main force of the Qing army in eastern Zhejiang, and the elite of the Eight Banners are in Jiangnan. If Your Majesty moves upstream, integrates the people of Chu and Gan, take advantage of the emptiness of the Qing army in Huguang and Jiangxi, seize Wuchang and go down to Jiujiang, and then fight with the King of Lu to join forces with Jinling. The southeast half of the wall is not impossible to fight and return."

"Move to southern Jiangxi and inspect Huguang?" Zhu Youjian's eyes lit up, and he was shocked by the grand strategy described by Zhao Ming.

I thought Zhao Ming was a powerful general, but I didn't expect to be a wise general. Zhu Youjian looked at Zhao Ming happily, but then calmed down and shook his head and said, "The Northern Barbarians are in Jiangnan, Huguang is empty, but my Ming Dynasty is in Huguang, and there are no war soldiers!"

Zhao Ming stretched out three fingers and said, "Your Majesty is in Huguang, and there are actually many soldiers, and there are only a lot of them, with a total of 300,000!"

Zhu Youjian raised his eyebrows and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Your family is talking about the rest of the thief!"

Zhao Ming clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty is wise. Now that the rebellion has been destroyed, the remaining troops of the rebel army have no leader. Your Majesty can collect the remaining troops with an edict and use it for your Majesty!"

Zhu Youjian was excitedly paced back and forth, suddenly stopped and said excitedly: "The defeat in Nanjing began with the alliance of enemies and pacified the enemy! Now my confidant's trouble lies in the enemy, not in the thief. If you take a decree and collect 300,000 people, this is a good idea!"

Zhao Ming couldn't help but bow and praised: "Your Majesty is such a powerful and talented master!"
