Nanjing, Wenhua Pavilion.

Grand Secretary He Tengjiao was handling memorials sent from various places in the public housing. After discussing the bill with several other bachelors, he then sent it to the palace.

At this time, He Tengjiao was busy, and an official suddenly walked in and whispered to He Tengjiao.

"Take it seriously!" He Tengjiao stopped the brush in hand, looking surprised.

The visitor bowed and bowed, "The Pavilion, it's true! Here are letters from Fang Guoan who sent him a quick horse!"

He Tengjiao placed his brush on the inkstone, shook his sleeves, revealing a large piece of white lotus-like arm, "Where is the faith? Let the pavilion take a look!"

The visitor quickly took out a cloth bag from his arms and placed it on He Tengjiao's table.

He Tengjiao hurriedly opened it, and there were two letters inside. He took out the letters eagerly and quickly glanced at them. An uncontrollable smile appeared on his thin face.

These two letters were written by Zhu Yihai to Fang Guoan, and ordered him to mobilize troops to Huai'an, put pressure on the Qing army in Xuzhou, and asked him to draw elite troops to send them to Jiangdong, and participate in the Liaodong War in the name of Donghai Town.

When the Qing army invaded the south and invaded Zhejiang, Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren jointly supported Zhu Yihai as the governor of the country in Shaoxing and established the regime of Lu. Wang Zhiren was named Duke of Anguo, and Fang Guoan was named Duke of Yue, and served as the general, controlling the army of Zhejiang.

It can be said that in the early days of the regime of the Lu State, Fang Guoan took over military power and was the second largest figure in the Zhejiang system under Zhu Yihai.

Later, the Qing army swept across eastern Zhejiang and Wang Zhiren died in battle. The Zhejiang faction should have been the dominant leader of Fang Guoan, but the joining of Zhao Ming, Li Chengdong and Wu Zhaosheng caused Fang Guoan's status to decline a lot, from a second person to a third and fourth person, and the limelight was completely blocked by Zhao Ming, Li Chengdong and others.

This made Fang Guoan's heart inevitably have a gap. In the battle of Hangzhou, his son Fang Shiyan died in battle, which made Fang Guoan even more resentful to Zhao Ming.

Although Zhao Ming killed Ma Guanghui's head after a great victory outside the pass and sent him to Hangzhou to relieve Fang Guoan, Fang Guoan actually did not forgive Zhao Ming in his heart. In addition, he gradually surpassed him to Zhao Ming, Li Chengdong, and Zhang Mingzhen, which made him jealous.

After Nanjing was restored, the Zhejiang clan did not share any benefits, but was suppressed by the court. In addition, Longwu had the intention of abolishing Zhu Yihai and establishing another crown prince, which made Fang Guoan gradually want to leave the Zhejiang clan.

After He Tengjiao re-in charge of the government, in order to dismantle the Zhejiang clan, he used the authority of the court to suppress the Zhejiang clan towns, without supplying supplies or promotions, and made things difficult for the Zhejiang clan towns to understand that Zhu Yihai had no future or interests, and while secretly spent gold and silver, he promised to bribe the Zhejiang generals with high officials and generous titles.

He Tengjiao had a stick and candy in one hand. After several contacts with Fang Guoan, he realized that Fang Guoan was not strong and wrote a letter to lobby himself, which eventually led Fang Guoan to surrender to He Tengjiao.

After reading these two letters, He Tengjiao was overjoyed, but said angrily: "It's outrageous. As the crown prince, he did not share the worries of the country, but actually secretly disobeyed the court's national policies, provoked trouble, and fought against Your Majesty and the court. Now our cabinet will come to the palace to meet the saint, and I will refer to him!"

Yang Wencong, a college student who was dealing with political affairs, couldn't help but stand up and asked, "What made the cabinet angry?"

He Tengjiao handed two letters to Yang Wencong, "The court finally signed a peace talk with the Northern Dynasties, but the Eastern Palace wanted to provoke trouble, destroy the peace talks, and provoke wars, which would affect the court's plan to reduce the vassals. It was really a deception of the emperor and the crime was extremely evil!"

Yang Wencong frowned, took the letter and looked at it, shocked, not because Zhu Yihai ordered Fang Guoan to secretly reinforce Donghai Town to fight against the court's resolution, but how could such a confidential letter fall into He Tengjiao's hands?

Yang Wencong finished reading it in a hurry and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "What should I do with the Master Ge?"

He Tengjiao sneered repeatedly, "The Eastern Palace actually secretly confronted the imperial court. What qualifications are there to be the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty? Naturally, he would impeach him. Please abolish the position of crown prince of Zhu Yihai and punish him!"

Yang Wencong frowned and couldn't help but persuade: "Gei Master, the Eastern Palace has the support of Zhejiang generals and has made great contributions to the state. With these two letters alone, it is probably difficult to convince the public?"

Zhu Yihai, Zhejiang, fought against the Qing Dynasty for ten years and first invaded Nanjing and recovered the Nandu. He had a high prestige in the court and the country and had strong support.

This is the reason why Emperor Longwu wanted to abolish Zhu Yihai, but he never dared to take action rashly.

When Yang Wencong saw He Tengjiao silent, he immediately said: "Gei Master, the East Palace secretly assisted Donghai Town, in order to resist the Qing Dynasty and recover the rivers and mountains. Your Majesty also said that peace talks about the ministers, and peace talks are just a temporary solution. The Ming Dynasty will sooner or later recover the Shenjing! The East Palace is also a act of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. The Pavilion Master will depose the crown prince with this point. I am afraid that the court and the public will criticize it and even cause mutiny!"

"Damn it!" He Tengjiao suddenly said anger: "Is this loyalty to the emperor and patriotism in the East Palace?"

Yang Wencong said: "Although the court negotiated peace with the Qing Dynasty, Your Majesty also knew that sooner or later there would be a battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. Isn't it counting when the Eastern Palace dealt with the Qing Dynasty?"

He Tengjiao sneered: "Who has the final say whether you are loyal to the emperor and patriotism? It's not you, nor me, but Your Majesty! Your Majesty says you are loyal to the emperor and patriotism, then you are loyal to the emperor and patriotism. Your Majesty says you deceive the emperor and traitor, then you are deceive the emperor and traitor."

As he said that, He Tengjiao stared at Yang Wencong and said, "Friends! We are ministers. If we want to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, we have to understand the superior intentions, think what Your Majesty thinks, and be anxious about what Your Majesty is anxious. We can clearly distinguish what Your Majesty said is the truth and what Your Majesty is lies. The most urgent thing for Your Majesty is to weaken the vassal states. When the war comes, all the efforts of reducing the vassal states will be wasted. The Qing people occupied the north and seized the Shenjing of our Ming Dynasty. Under the pressure of the court and the opposition, your Majesty had to tell some lies in front of the ministers. If you don't understand, you will lose your official position like Du Yinxi, and the worst of it will be to lose your head. Therefore, resisting the Qing Dynasty is not loyal to the emperor and patriotism, but to reduce the vassal states. Besides, the Eastern Palace is really trying to resist the Qing Dynasty. It is just to take the opportunity to provoke war and destroy the court's strategy of reducing the vassal states, so that he can continue to join forces with the outside towns, threaten Your Majesty and take the position of crown prince!"

Yang Wencong said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty often says to us. Peacekeeping is just a delaying strategy. The Ming Dynasty will sooner or later recover the lost territory. This is rarely false, but I took it seriously!"

"Friends, Friends, Friends, Long!" He Tengjiao said: "Your Majesty is over fifty years old. It is what Your Majesty wants to keep half of the country and hold the throne!"

Yang Wencong sighed, "I only realized today why the gates of the Pavilion Master cannot fight against the Pavilion Master. It turns out that His Majesty is the real master and sect leader!"

He Tengjiao frowned when he heard the words, "Youlong, you are a little wrong today! Why are you focusing on the Zhejiang Party!"

Yang Wencong was shocked when he heard the words and hurriedly bowed, "Gei Master, I just want to remind Mr. Ge that the East Palace has the support of the Zhejiang Army, and the matter of abolishing and establishment must be cautious!"

He Tengjiao heard the words, stroked his white beard and said in a deep voice: "What you reminded is that this is an excellent opportunity. You must plan carefully and then act to ensure that everything is foolproof!"
