When Chen Yongfu heard this, he heard the sound and saw several cavalry coming, and behind them, there were still bandits and cavalry chasing.

However, as soon as Kaifeng City approached, the chasing thieves retreated.

By the moat, the leader of the knight shouted loudly to the head of Kaifeng City: "I am the imperial envoy of the court, come to pass the order and quickly put down the suspension bridge!"

After hearing this, Chen Yongfu put down the suspension bridge, but did not open the city gate. Instead, he first hanged the seal certificate into the city to verify before putting the person in.

The inspector Gao Mingheng heard the news and rushed over, but the imperial edict was given to the King of Zhou, so they accompanied the angels to the King of Zhou's mansion together. Along the way, the soldiers and civilians of Kaifeng heard that an angel was coming and watched.

"The court angels have arrived. Will reinforcements arrive soon?"

"Absolutely, King Zhou is here and will definitely rescue him!"

"This is not necessarily the case. If reinforcements really arrive, why didn't we lead the army, but a few people risk their lives to enter the city?"

"The thief is so powerful. How many troops should the court send to defeat the thief?"

“…”

As the conversation was full of discussion, the angel arrived at the Zhou palace. When King Zhu Gongzi heard this, he hurried out to greet him, burn incense tables, and listened to the imperial edict.

After a while, after the angel read it, the imperial edict was closed and he looked at Zhu Gongzi and said, "Prince Zhou, should you accept the edict?"

Zhu Gongxian was stunned, as if he didn't hear it. When the angel saw it, he couldn't help but repeat it again.

This time, Zhu Gongxian came to his senses and crawled on the ground, replying with a little tremolo: "I have no desire to covet and dare not accept the order!"

Chen Yongfu and Gao Mingheng, who were kneeling behind him, were also surprised, but neither of them spoke, just stared at the back of King Zhou.

Could it be that the King of Zhou took out money and food in the previous Kaifeng Guard Battle and passed it to the court. Some people in the court thought that the King of Zhou was coveting military power? Isn’t there an order before that, when necessary, local officials can collect money and food from wealthy families in the city, including the vassal kings?

Gao Mingheng thought about this a little more. Maybe the last time it was because King Zhou took the initiative to take out money and food instead of local officials to ask for it, or is this the difference?

However, that time was when Luoyang fell, King Fu's experience should have scared King Zhou, so he generously donated money. This time, King Zhou has not donated money and food so far!

When they were thinking about this, the angel had already understood what the King of Zhou meant, and couldn't help but feel speechless. He quickly explained: "The King of Zhou was too worried. This is the content of the order. Please ask the King of Zhou to accept the order first. For details, we can talk about it in detail later!"

Zhu Gongye was a little confused when he heard this, but the angel had already said so, so he had no choice but to hesitate to accept the imperial edict.

When he arrived at the reception room, the tea was served, and the angel said to the King of Zhou: "Your Highness, don't worry too much. The court's national policy has changed. This is the real thing!"

Speaking of this, he saw everyone paying attention to him and explained: "The Battle of Kaifeng is crucial, and the impact of victory or defeat is extraordinary. At the suggestion of the Duke of the State, Your Majesty issued this decree. As long as your Highness goes all out to assist the court in defending Kaifeng, let Your Highness choose a place overseas and become the real Zhou Kingdom!"

When they heard that it was the Duke of Nationality, they immediately knew that this was referring to Duke Xing. After all, who else can have such a great influence in the court today besides Duke Xing?

For Chen Yongfu and Gao Mingheng, they actually welcomed this decree. After all, the Zhou royal palace was passed down from the founding of the country. If they could really take out all the money and grain to help defend the city, they would have more confidence in this battle of Kaifeng.

However, Zhu Gongzi still had doubts after hearing this. Emperors of all dynasties have always been very concerned about the vassal kings. Even if they reward the land once more, they never want the vassal kings to have other powers. Even if they leave the city, they must inform the local government in advance. Only when the local government agrees can they leave the city.

But now, the decree says that after the vassal states, one can have military and political power and become a real vassal king.

Although Zhu Gongye is old and even his grandson is already an adult, it is really possible that he certainly doesn’t want to die in the Zhou royal palace for the rest of his life. From childhood to adulthood, to old age, he is still the vassal palace, and he is really tired!

But, could this be another type of temptation from the priest today?

I remember that in the ninth year of Chongzhen, Jianlu invaded and the emperor issued an edict to serve the king. King Zhu Youjian of Tang led the guards north to serve the king, but was ordered by the current emperor to return. In the end, he was deposed as a commoner and sent the Jinyiwei to lock him up inside the high wall of Fengyang. Now, he is still locked up in Fengyang!

As he was thinking, the angel said to him again: "The Duke of the State suggests that Your Highness might as well choose Luzon as the vassal place where the rice is ripe three times a year. Food is the most important thing for the people. As long as there is food, there will be no thieves."

Speaking of this, the angel showed a mysterious look, glanced at the two people on the side, and then said to Zhu Gongzi: "The Duke also said that he can guarantee that in Luzon overseas, there are minerals such as gold, silver, copper and iron underground, with more than tens of millions of kilograms, only a lot of them! And many trees are also very valuable."

When Gao Mingheng heard this, he immediately thought about it and said, "I remembered that Emperor Wanli believed Zhang Yi about Jiyi Mountain in Luzon. The golden beans on it were born. He sent people to take it and could get a huge amount of words. Therefore, he sent the Haicheng County Magistrate Wang Shihe and Baihu Yuyicheng to Luzon to collect gold. However, after they arrived in Luzon, they did not find it. They suspected that it was Zhang Yi's nonsense and immediately returned to their country."

There is a follow-up to this incident, which caused the tension among the Spanish in Luzon, so he found an excuse to massacre tens of thousands of Ming people in Luzon.

When Zhu Gongye heard this, he looked suspicious. Is there any treasure in the land of Luzon?

Seeing this, the angel smiled and said, "What kind of person is the Duke of the Kingdom? How could he cheat people? What is money in the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the People? Think about it, is it?"

Hearing this, the people present immediately remembered the news they saw in the newspaper, and even had that cement formula. Not to mention, that was true. At least, cement has been used in Kaifeng City Defense!

When Zhu Gongye thought of this, he was moved and asked quickly: "Duke really said that?"

If a person like the Duke of the Kingdom, if he really said that, there should be no falsehood. As for the rumor in the Wanli period, it can also be proved in turn that there may be treasures in the land of Luzon, after all, the ground may not necessarily lead to wind!

Gao Mingheng heard their conversation and before the angel could answer, he immediately interrupted, "I don't know what the emperor means? It's better to send troops to the court and occupy the land of Luzon according to the ideas of the officials!"

Speaking of this, he turned to look at Chen Yongfu and said, "It's time for the imperial court to ask for money now, right?"

What's right? When Zhu Gongye heard this, he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied. He hurriedly looked at the angel and said, "Isn't it just me who is the vassal king who is overseas?"

After hearing this, the angel said with a smile: "It is said that the Duke of China knows many treasures overseas places, and therefore, money is not a big deal in the Duke's eyes. The reason why he made a proposal to make His Highness a good place like a vassal is because His Highness is the first, meaning a thousand gold coins!"

Is this true? Zhu Gongxian thought so and couldn't help but feel very moved.

If it weren't for the temptation of the current saint, but true, I would definitely agree with such a good place!

Seeing Zhu Gongye lowering his head and silent, but his expression was already moving, the angel said again: "You must know that Zuo Liangyu and Hou Xun rebelled, and the small Yuan camp went north to the capital. Although five guerrillas were sent to the court, they were also blocked on the road."

Speaking of this, he paused and added: "In addition, the court did not issue an order for the three-sided governor Sun Chuanting to come out for rescue. Therefore, Kaifeng should not expect reinforcements in the short term. Only when the military and civilians in the city work together and persist for one to two months, and when the court defeats Xiao Yuanying and Zuo Liangyu's rebels, can it be possible to rescue Kaifeng!"

Hearing this, the faces of the few people in the living room became very serious.

From the subsequent news, we can see that the court really hoped that the King of Zhou could take out as much money and grain as possible to support Kaifeng Prefecture to stick to it. In other words, in order to allow the King of Zhou to take out as much money and grain as possible, it seemed reasonable to give the vassal kings overseas plans.

The example of the Blessed King is that after the King of Zhou measured it, he looked up and said to the angel: "With His Majesty's will, I will take out money and food to defend the city, and I will have no more scruples."

He agreed to the implication. However, he did not mention the matter of being a vassal overseas, which was also his prudence.

Not only can you save the lives of the whole mansion by taking out money and food and defending the city, but you can also see if the emperor will let him go overseas. If the emperor regrets it, he can also say that he does not want to take charge of military and political power. Those who are present can testify.

That's it, the arrival of angels has their own good and bad.

In the short term, we cannot expect the court to rescue, but with the emperor's will, Kaifeng City can be united. Kaifeng's victory or loss will surely last for a long time, right?

While King Zhou and Gao Mingheng and Chen Yongfu were discussing the city defense, Li Zicheng was also convening an army meeting on the thieves outside the city.

This central army tent is very large. On the main seat is Li Zicheng, who is one-eyed, sits on his side, Cao Cao Luo Rucai. Then, on the left and right sides of their side, there are leaders in armor standing full of armor.

Li Zicheng frowned and said to the bottom: "It has been more than a month since the attack opened the seal, but Kaifeng's city is solid and has not made any progress so far. What good strategies do you have? Just say it!"

Hearing his words, the leaders were yelling, and they would attack again, because the troops were enough.

Li Zicheng obviously didn't like to listen to this, so he turned to look at the head of the generals. A man in a literary costume asked, "I don't know if the military advisor has a good idea?"
