Zuo Maodi left, and left by boat full of resentment with Chen Yue's conditions to stop the attack.

Chen Yue's conditions are more unacceptable than the other, if they are accepted in their entirety, there will be a super powerful minister who can no longer control the military power, and the princess is even more unprecedented, and it is even more unacceptable.

However, Zuo Maodi knew that he was just a soldier and had no right to decide such a major matter, and Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, was extremely domineering and completely non-negotiable. So I have to hurry back to Nanjing, and ask Shoufu Shi Kefa to call the shots. However, Chen Yue had already promised that he would give the imperial court three days to discuss, and he would not attack the city within three days.

Zuo Maodi left, and Chen Yue sat quietly, his expression incomprehensible.

"Guogong, we have already approached the city, with the combat effectiveness of the defenders of Nanjing, with the personalities of the ministers in the city, coupled with our internal response, there is no problem at all to capture Nanjing, it will not take three days at all. When the time comes, you don't want to do what you want? Why negotiate with them! ”

Liu Neng couldn't help but say, in the past few days since he returned to Nanjing, Liu Neng has already figured out the situation in Nanjing, although there are as many as 100,000 troops in Nanjing, they are definitely not the opponent of these 30,000 troops. Moreover, several generals in the Beijing camp have been rebelled by Jinyi Wei, and even Zhu Guobi, the governor of the Beijing camp, has an ambiguous attitude. Liu Neng believed that as long as the army was in the city, there was no need to attack, and someone would open the door and surrender to welcome the army into the city.

"Commander Liu, the situation is very complicated, and it is not as simple as attacking the city. It's easy to siege a city, but what about after entering a city? You can't kill all the civil officials in the cabinet and court, right? Even if we have mastered the imperial court, how can there be so many people available? Gu Junen said with a smile. Among all the people, Gu Junen was the one who knew Chen Yue's plan the most, because many of the plans were made by the two of them after discussion.

For Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi Guo, it is rare not to break through Nanjing, but how to quickly stabilize the situation after defeating Nanjing. Although the officials of the cabinet court are selfish and incompetent, without them, the court will not be able to function at all, and it will inevitably cause long-term turmoil, and once this turmoil spreads to the localities, the situation will no longer be controllable.

The violence is simple and direct, but the harm it can cause is too great, and most of the current court officials are Donglin Party members, and the entire southeast is the base camp of the Donglin Party. If Chen Yue dared to violently eradicate the imperial court, it is conceivable that it would inevitably lead to chaos in the entire southeast.

The gentry not only control the imperial court but also the vast countryside, and its power and its huge size are the basis for the rule of the entire Ming Dynasty.

What can you do if you capture Nanjing and eradicate the imperial court? If these gentry did not cooperate, Chen Yue's orders would not have been able to pass out of Nanjing.

As for self-establishment as the emperor is even more undesirable, Chen Yue is a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, the image of the Chen family's father and son for generations of loyalty and kindness is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Ming Dynasty, once Chen Yue seeks to usurp the throne, his people set up a horse collapse. There may be many officials who have taken refuge in Chen Yue for the sake of glory and wealth, but these people are also people with inferior character and tend to be inflammatory, and a truly loyal person like Shi Kefa Zuo Maodi will never give in, but such a person has a very high reputation and can influence a large number of people. And there will be local gentry officials who will elect the vassal king to the throne to continue the Ming Dynasty, such as supporting the Gui Domain, which will inevitably end up in trouble at that time, and there will be no time for a few years to flatten the civil strife. And now there are thieves inside and full of tartars outside, where is there so much time.

And for Chen Yue, he didn't have much desire to be the emperor, and he couldn't bear to take away the Ming Dynasty and make Princess Kunxing sad.

Therefore, the situation is like this, it is easy to break into Nanjing, but it is difficult to stabilize the situation quickly. Therefore, Chen Yue had to compromise with Shi Kefa, hoping to negotiate the most favorable result. However, in order to show his determination to achieve his goal, Chen Yue put forward tough conditions, as long as these conditions could be accepted by Shi Kefa, the imperial court became his vassal.

The princess is in charge of the monarchy, and she is the governor of the capital and holds the military power, and the power of the cabinet and the court is greatly weakened.

With the assistance of these civil officials, the imperial court can quickly stabilize, and there will be no chaos in the local area. In this way, he has the energy to recruit and train the army, although the Ming is broken, but still has the richest region in the south, with the national strength of the Ming, it will take less than two years to train a strong army, and then it will not be a problem to cut down the thieves and annihilate the Manchu Tartars.

And at that time, his prestige will reach its peak, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is incomparably at its peak, and he has time to slowly clean up these shameless civil officials. As for the successful retirement promised to Zuo Maogeng, it is just a trick to deceive people, and if Chen Yue does not hand over power at that time, who will dare to mention it?

However, Chen Yue also knew that the conditions he proposed were really harsh, and it was just enough to destroy Han Zanzhou, whether he was crowned the king as the governor of the capital, or the princess was in charge of the country, it was difficult to accept any of the conservative people like Shi Kefa.

Becoming the Metropolitan Governor means having sole control of the military and being able to threaten the royal rule at all times, and the civil servants absolutely do not want to see so much power. But that's it, after all, the situation is stronger than people, and they don't have much choice in the alliance under the city, but the most difficult thing for them to accept is probably the princess supervising the country!

In this era of prevalence of masculinism, the status of women is extremely low, especially in the Ming Dynasty, which believes in Zhu Xi's religion, and the status of women is even lower. For these pretentious scholars, kneeling to a woman every day is probably more difficult than cutting off the head, even if the woman is the emperor's daughter and a princess of noble blood.

Oh, the princess's bloodline is noble, but in this Ming Dynasty, there is no status, the princess can only marry the tradition of commoners, which makes the princess's status even lower, even if you are the emperor's daughter, the final husband may be a butcher who slaughters dogs and a businessman, in this era, a wealthy family with a little property can marry a princess county lord......

Therefore, it is too difficult to let a princess who is not at all in the eyes of civil officials on weekdays supervise the country!

Although Liu Neng is clever and intelligent, this kind of thing involving the political level is beyond his comprehension, and he shuts up and doesn't ask anymore when he doesn't understand.

Lu Zhenfei naturally understood, but he didn't want to ask more. As a deputy assistant to the cabinet, he naturally knew what it would mean once Shi Kefa agreed to Chen Yue's conditions. It means that the cabinet will no longer be able to dominate, and it means that the power of the imperial court will be in the hands of the Duke of Qi.

However, it is a good thing for Lu Zhenfei, because he will definitely be able to enter the cabinet again, and it is not impossible to even replace Shi Kefa as the first assistant.
