Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 33 Chapter 33, Zhou Guozhang couldn't sleep well, Wang Huamin had a new trick
Guozhang's Mansion, night.

Zhou Kui sat blankly in front of his secret treasure house, sighing.

"It's gone, it's gone..."

"This is the prince, the damn prince!"

"Why do I have such a grandson? What a sin!"

Zhou Kui has been talking to himself for a long time, and no one dares to approach him.

Footsteps sounded from behind, followed by another voice.

"The prince is fine, the king."

Zhou Kui's body trembled slowly, and then he turned his head.

In front of him stood three people, Wei Zaode, Cao Huachun and Wang Huamin.

Zhou Kui said coldly: "The prince is all right? Then what are you doing here?"

Cao Huachun smiled slowly and found a chair beside him to sit down: "Abbott, the money is gone. You should look forward and be less angry."

Zhou Kui was still indifferent: "Then your family's money is gone, have you calmed down?"

Cao Huachun paused.

Wei Zaode coughed and said: "Okay, you two, we were all harmed by the prince. We should unite as one at this time. Otherwise, how can we bring down the prince and get our money and official status back?"

Wei Zaode's words had some effect, and the atmosphere eased a lot.

Zhou Kui said: "You said before that you can bring down the prince by mobilizing the ministers, why can't you do it now?"

Cao Huachun showed a helpless smile: "We mobilized all the ministers, but the prince mobilized all the soldiers in the capital camp, as well as most of the lower-level officials in the capital. Under the current situation, it is conceivable which side your majesty believes more in. of."

Zhou Kui did not speak again.

Wei Zaode said slowly: "The thing is in the past, so it is in the past. For the current plan, we should first think of a new way."

Cao Huachun said: "That's true. I wonder what you can do?"

silence.

After a while, Zhou Kui said coldly: "If there is no better way, then it's better to open the city gate and bring down King Chuang!"

After Zhou Kui said this, the other three were shocked at the same time.

Forget about others, but Zhou Kui is the father-in-law of Chongzhen and the father-in-law of Daming, so he wants to surrender to King Chuang?
Naturally, Cao Huachun and Wang Huamin had already made up their minds to surrender to Li Zicheng, but they did not mention it in front of Zhou Kui and Wei Zaode. Out of consideration for their identities, Zhou Kui was the first to say it today.

Cao Huachun was in doubt for a while, and wanted to follow Zhou Kui's words to get the head of the country to join the gang, but he was afraid that what if it was Zhou Kui's bitter trick?
Wei Zaode didn't notice Cao Huachun's psychological activities, but said seriously: "The father-in-law's words are wrong. It's fine if the Chuangjun enters the city. Now the Chuangjun is still blocked outside the city. If we wait If you become a traitor to Ming Dynasty, wouldn't that be infamous in the history books for thousands of years?"

Although Wei Zaode lost his position as chief assistant, he valued his reputation very much, so he immediately objected.

Zhou Kui looked at Wei Zaode, sneered slightly, and asked back: "If King Chuang really led his army into the city in a few days, I wonder if Master Wei will continue to be loyal to Daming?"

This sentence also stopped Wei Zaode from asking, and it took a few seconds before he said with a smile: "I will talk about it later, I will talk about it later."

Looking at the three people in front of him, Wang Huamin was also a little speechless.

Forget it if you say that Zhou Guozhang is a money-grubbing old fool. Cao Huachun at least once controlled the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and Wei Zaode even served as the first assistant. They are all important figures in the inner and outer dynasties. Why did things end up like that? Like an old man or an old lady, she has no other ideas besides scolding people?

I always feel that what the prince took away was not only their money, but maybe even their brains.

With this strong sense of complaint, Wang Huamin said in a deep voice: "Three, I have an idea, maybe I can try it."

Wang Huamin's words immediately attracted the attention of the other three people.

Zhou Kui said, "What idea?"

Cao Huachun said: "Your Majesty, please tell me quickly."

Wei Zaode said: "It's best to get results as soon as possible, otherwise the prince will give away all our money."

Wang Huamin has the urge to roll his eyes, your money is not mine, it's none of my business.

Wang Huamin took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Actually, why did the prince make His Majesty submit today? The answer is very simple, because he has soldiers in his hands!
Before, our idea was to get rid of the prince directly, but now that the prince is given such a large amount of money, the soldiers in the Beijing camp will definitely side with him. In addition, the British prince is also a die-hard supporter of the prince. Even if we continue to seek impeachment from His Majesty, it will be useless.

So we should change our thinking, that is to find someone to share the prince's military power first.Then, let this person replace the prince step by step, and control all the military power in the capital in the shortest possible time.By that time, it will not be easy for us to deal with him without the prince who has military power in our hands? "

When Wang Huamin said what he meant, the other three people immediately understood.

Wei Zaode said with some confusion: "But now where can we find a general who can divide the prince's military power and doesn't like the prince?"

Wang Huamin smiled slightly and said: "Have you three forgotten Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen? He is a close confidant of His Majesty, but he lost the military power to command the Beijing camp because of the prince. Do you think he has no opinions at all?

And if I remember correctly, Uncle Xiangcheng seems to be in-laws with Zhang Guozhang, right?If Zhou Guozhang could personally go out and persuade him a little bit more, this matter should be as stable as Mount Tai. "

Zhou Kui nodded and said: "I will go find Li Guozhen later and have a good talk with him."

Wei Zaode stroked his beard and said, "Even if Uncle Xiangcheng can be lifted up to divide the military power, who can guarantee that Uncle Xiangcheng will perform well? Don't forget, Uncle Xiangcheng is only a young man in his 20s. It's just people."

Wang Huamin laughed: "My lord, isn't war a matter of money in the final analysis? As long as you have money, are you afraid that those soldiers will not work hard? You are not here today, and you can't see those Beijing soldiers after the crown prince sends money." The battalion soldiers wished that the eighteen generations of their ancestors would be like cows and horses for the prince.

Even if Uncle Xiangcheng doesn't know how to fight again, it's impossible that he can't even give out money, right?As long as Xiangcheng Bo can defend for a while, we can mobilize our allies, lobby His Majesty, and gradually transfer the military power from the Prince.

At that time, Uncle Xiangcheng will have more and more soldiers and horses, can he still lose the battle, and still be inferior to the crown prince? "

After Wang Huamin's rhetorical questions, Wei Zaode was finally convinced and smiled: "Eunuch Wang is right. I really don't understand military affairs, and I lack consideration in this aspect. Eunuch Wang's opinion is very reasonable. If Eunuch Cao and the head of the country If there is no objection, the old man thinks it can be done!"

Cao Huachun and Zhou Kui nodded at the same time.

"Let's do it this way, we must make the prince pay the price!"
