Fuzhou.

The weather is no longer hot, and there are piles of refugees gathering everywhere on the roadside around the corner of the street.

Business here has always been very prosperous, and the most lively market is unimaginable, not rice, silk, porcelain, or rare objects sold back from the South China Sea. The most lively market has only been a month since it was a big market for human trafficking.

There were wars in Ningguo Mansion, wars in Huizhou Mansion, and wars in Yanzhou Mansion. Although Zhai Zhe had resettled relief porridge sheds in various places, all his financial resources and food must ensure that the army will not be short of shortages.

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

More and more people crossed the mountains of northern Fujian to Fuzhou, because the Tang King was here, which was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. But no matter where he went, there would be no pie falling from the sky. Zhai Zhe didn't have much food in his hands, so he was willing to take some out. He could not see a few grains of rice for disaster relief, which could barely prevent the refugees from starving to death. The emperor of Fuzhou did not have much silver in his hands, and Zheng Zhilong ignored his edict.

Liu Suifeng quietly took the business of the Shang League, occasionally returning to the teahouse on the street to have a cup of tea. His life here has always been so comfortable. After the news of Huang Daozhou's defeat reached Fuzhou, there was no depressed here as expected. Perhaps the only one who suffered was the King of Tang in the deep palace.

Afternoon.

Liu Suifeng woke up from a brief nap.

The shopkeeper of the business was looking out and saw him getting up and preparing to go out. He walked to the door and bowed, "Mr. Liu, there is a letter for you." Liu Suifeng took the letter, opened the seal and pulled out the letter paper, glanced over, his face was still, and he felt relieved. He had waited for so long, and finally he could have a result.

The war in Huizhou ended, and the deadlock should end. The King of Tang lost the bet, which was a destined end from the beginning. Liu Zhongzao had not come to the Shang League for a month, and he seemed to have forgotten Liu Suifeng, and Liu Suifeng also seemed to have forgotten him.

He happily drank tea in the teahouse for an hour. Things went smoother than expected. When the sky was blurry, Liu Zhongzao came to the Shang League alone. He did not call lanterns or took the butler.

The two of them are old friends, and when they have nothing to do, it will take a few hours to chat. But this time, Liu Zhongzao didn't even hold up the tea cup and said solemnly: "Your Majesty wants to see you."

Liu Suifeng gracefully picked up the small porcelain cup and said, "I forgot to tell you that the general will send a letter today and ask me to return to Shaoxing in a few days."

Liu Zhongzao's face changed drastically and he asked, "What does General Zhai want to do?"

Liu Suifeng sneered and said, "I heard before that others would not cherish the good things delivered to my door. I don't believe it. The King of Tang has taught me this truth in the past two months."

"Your Majesty wants to see you!" Liu Zhongzao emphasized.

Friends are friends, and positions are positions. He is familiar with the ins and outs of this matter and feels embarrassed, but he cannot make decisions for King Zhu Youjian of Tang. When Huang Daozhou was in the cabinet, his small military department could not say a few words, and even the King of Tang was not good at refuting Huang Daozhou's face.

In the past two months, the minister who had a little cleverness in the court has been completely disappointed with Zheng Zhilong. From his protection of Hong Chengchou's family, it can be seen that this Zhenhai Hou had already been indifferent.

Liu Suifeng shook his head calmly and said, "I have already said that I came to Fuzhou as the general, and it is impossible to meet the Tang King."

"Your Majesty wants to see you privately." Liu Zhongzao lowered his head and used a begging tone. This sentence made him and the King of Tang very embarrassed.

The private meeting was not seen as the emperor, because Zhai Zhe had never expressed his support for King Tang.

Liu Suifeng sipped several sips of tea, frowned and fell into deep thought, and finally said after a long time, "I had returned to Zhejiang in the past two days. The general thought it was useless for me to stay in Fuzhou again, and there was a lot of things to be busy in Shaoxing." He slowly leaned his body, approached Liu Zhongzao, and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "I heard that the general was so anxious to let me go back, because there was something big to do."

"What's the big deal?" Liu Zhongzao's vigilance increased to the extreme.

Liu Suifeng shook his head, smiled, and said, "I don't know the specifics either."

Even if your best friend is in the court dispute, it is nothing, let alone a friend for two months. There is no so-called mutual appreciation, no morality and kindness here, only the goal you want to achieve, Liu Suifeng is deeply attracted by three of them.

These words have made Liu Zhongzao have infinite imagination. Liu Zhongzao sighed and said sadly: "Before leaving, do you really want to see Your Majesty? In fact, Your Majesty appreciates General Zhai very much. You should have been in Fuzhou for several months that Your Majesty is a rare sage lord, much better than King Lu."

He really didn't want the Ming Dynasty to split into two parts, and the Han people would have to fight with each other.

Liu Suifeng shook his head slowly, suddenly turned to nodding, gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, I will disobey the general's order today."

"Really?" Liu Zhongzao was ecstatic, afraid that Liu Suifeng would change his mind, so he said first: "Okay, I will report to Your Majesty tomorrow, and I will arrange it next day."

The King of Tang could not hold back his anger, and Zhai Zhe was not anxious. This was a patient contest. Obviously, the war in Huizhou Prefecture became the last straw that broke the King of Tang's psychology.

Liu Suifeng understood Zhai's intention. After the war in western Zhejiang ended, regardless of the outcome, the dispute between Tang and Lu must be resolved, otherwise Zhai Zhe would not be able to successfully intervene in Huguang and Jiangxi to get the war. If Nanjing is really recovered one day, the King of Tang would not be able to stay in any corner of Fuzhou. Zhai Zhe supported King of Tang and had the convenience of holding the emperor to command the princes.

The shopkeeper was busy packing Liu Suifeng. In fact, he went back to eastern Zhejiang alone, so there would be no luggage. He was just for those who were interested to see.

After a leisurely day, on the evening of the third day, Liu Zhongzao came to the Shanglian Business Network business in a sedan. The sedan entered the business. The two exchanged positions in the backyard. Liu Suifeng got into the sedan. Liu Zhongzao stayed in Liu Suifeng's study and waited.

The sedan chair was covered tightly. Sitting alone, he couldn't see his five fingers. Liu Suifeng simply closed his eyes and rested. The sedan chair was up and down with the pace of the sedan chair's footsteps. After about half an hour, the sedan chair fell to the ground, and someone gently stepped up and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair. Liu Suifeng broke away his eyes and walked down.

It was already dark, this was a quiet little yard, I don’t know where in Fuzhou City.

In the dark light, I couldn't see what the person lifting the curtain looked like, and the man reached out to lead the way: "Your Majesty is waiting for Mr. Liu." His voice was very sharp, and he knew that he was a castrator from the inner palace when he heard it.

Liu Suifeng didn't say anything, swung the corner of his robe and followed the eunuch who was walking with his toes.

Why is it so mysterious? Does Zheng Zhilong like the relationship between King Tang and Zhai Zhe? He muttered to himself. As long as he knows how to think, he can see the changes in the court situation even if he has little things.

The two walked slowly into the house, and there was a bright light inside. There was a man sitting in the main hall, wearing dark green clothes, thick black beard on his chin, a bit gray in his temples, and a pair of bright eyes.

The little eunuch knelt down and reported, "I will report to Your Majesty, Mr. Liu will bring it here."

Liu Suifeng looked at Zhu Youjian, and Zhu Youjian was also watching Liu Suifeng. The two looked at each other for a while. Liu Suifeng lowered his head and hid in his robe and his knees trembled slightly.

Things in the world are unpredictable. When he was cooking in the bandit camp, he would never have thought that he would still see the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in this life, and he was straight and not kneeling down in front of the emperor.

"Greetings to King Tang!" Liu Suifeng bowed and forced himself to calm down.

"I'm not the King of Tang!" Zhu Youjian's voice was angry.

Liu Suifeng dared not contradict him. If the talk went smoothly, this person would indeed be his emperor, and the talks would definitely go smoothly.

Zhu Youjian looked at Liu Suifeng up and down for a long time and asked in a suspicious tone: "Can you represent General Zhai?"

Liu Suifeng nodded, raised his head and said in a very confident tone: "Yes, General Zhai ordered me to come to Fuzhou for that reason."

"General Zhai is the pillar of my Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Youjian praised first and was silent for a long time. "I will treat General Zhai as much as possible if Mr. Liu is asked to go back and tell General Zhai that I will treat him equally. As long as King Lu can retire from the throne of the state, I will admit his official positions in eastern Zhejiang."

Liu Suifeng felt sorry for his tone, "General Zhai wanted to join Zhejiang to the Ming Dynasty. It might be easy a month ago, but it is difficult now. After Fang Guoan led his army to take down Huizhou Prefecture, several college students in Shaoxing Prefecture changed a little. Some people think that King Lu should take advantage of General Zhai's victory to ascend the throne."

Zhu Youjian was furious and scolded: "Bold!" His face turned red first, and finally pale. Since he ascended the throne in Fuzhou, there has been no progress in military affairs. However, the King of Lu from East Zhejiang won victory step by step, which made him hold his breath and unable to spit it out in his chest.

"Your Majesty calmed down!" Liu Suifeng quietly changed his name, "General Zhai is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but many generals and officials from the Shaoxing Prefecture are thinking about the achievements of supporting the plan."

"Are you going back to Shaoxing?" Zhu Youjian obviously couldn't sit still after hearing Liu Zhongzao's report.

"That's right, General Zhai saw that I was idle in Fuzhou for two months, and wrote a letter to scold me severely, blaming Weichen for not expressing his intention to His Majesty."

This is accusation in person! Zhu Youjian turned sideways, and all the weight of his body was pressed on the handle on the right side of the wooden chair, and asked: "If King Lu abdicates, Zhejiang East will be in Ming. How can I sit to satisfy General Zhai?" His tone was slouching. This emperor was very frustrated. No matter whether Zheng Zhilong or Zhai Zhe was really treating him as an emperor. After Zhejiang East will be in Ming, his only threat will no longer exist, and he will no longer have to worry about Jiangnan's victory day and night. Judging from the plan to expel the Qing enemy, he could only swallow his anger again.

Liu Suifeng bowed first, pondered for a long time, and said, "In my opinion, General Zhai actually only wanted to recover Jiangnan and was not willing to be involved in the court dispute. If Your Majesty could make General Zhai the king and supervise the war in Jiangnan, I would go back and turn your Majesty's desire to seek talents, General Zhai would not disappoint Your Majesty.

"Enjoy the King?" Zhu Youjian was stunned, and quickly gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, if you become the King, you will be appointed as the King."

Liu Suifeng chased after him and reported again: "There is a small matter, and I want to ask Your Majesty to make the decision for General Zhai."

"You said!" King Tang was completely willing to do his best today.
