Wu Shifan has been very comfortable these days, the situation in the Great Zhou has reached a very erosive point, although Xia Guoxiang will not tell him, but he himself has a channel to get the news, I heard that the city of Nanjing began to be covered with defensive ordnance, of course he knows what these mean.

The army of the Ming Dynasty is about to fight under the city of Nanjing, and the army of Shandong is estimated to have been defeated or even annihilated, and he, the emperor, does not know how many days he can do.

Who knew that in less than ten days, the situation was immediately reversed, and many ministers above the court said in righteous words that they would exterminate the false Ming and restore the Great Zhou.

Wu Shifan, who was careful about these ministers, knew very well that they didn't look down on what the emperor had done, and all they thought about was that when the Ming army arrived here, they would immediately submit to it.

What I didn't expect was that Da Ming dug his own grave, and did such a big rebellious thing, Wu Shifan simply wanted to give his ancestors three pillars of high incense, thank the ancestors for their blessings, I don't know if the emperor of Da Ming took the wrong medicine, after all, now Da Zhou has become the target of everyone, but Da Ming has become the target of the public, so Wu Shifan happily handed over the affairs of the court to Xia Guoxiang to deal with, and he quit the dynasty again.

Other emperors probably boycotted the dynasty because of the death of their elders, or because of the death of the courtiers in the court, and they only boycotted the dynasty for a few days to show their grace, Wu Shifan is good, he feels that the situation is not so urgent, and finally he can not be nervous.

The most awkward person in Xia Guoxiang's heart after taking power is Hu Guozhu, although he admires Xia Guoxiang, but admiration and obedience are two different things, his identity is completely qualified and equal to Xia Guoxiang, and now he can only follow Xia Guoxiang's orders.

In times of crisis, he doesn't think about these connections, but now that it's too peaceful, he naturally thinks about these things. He has been under Wu Sangui for so many years, so he naturally has a group of his own henchmen, even if his officials have reached the point where he is satisfied, but those henchmen have not risen to a high enough position.

But now there are only a few important official positions in the DPRK, and Xia Guoxiang also has his own henchmen, this contradiction cannot be adjusted, of course, Xia Guoxiang also gave Hu Guozhu some face, and also promoted several of Hu Guozhu's henchmen, but these official positions are too few in Hu Guozhu's opinion, especially compared with Xia Guozhu.

In fact, there are many times when the contradictions between the two ministers of the DPRK and China do not come from the contradictions between them, since they know that mutual cooperation can achieve greater benefits, and no one is willing to tear their faces, which means that once they make a mistake, they will be chased and beaten by hostile factions, but many things are not at all determined by people's subjective will, and if they do not come out in the face of this kind of thing, this person's heart can be scattered.

Since it is easier to follow Xia Guoxiang, who wants to follow you Hu Guozhu, they are all people with similar skills, why can't I be this official if he can do it?

Xia Guoxiang didn't want to act so ugly, but he couldn't help himself, the fate of these people around him was tied to him, if there were not enough benefits for them, who would want to charge into battle or carry a black pot on top of the court? That's it, they still feel that there are too many official positions given to Hu Guozhu.

When Hu Guozhu asked if he could promote his cronies to be the Ministry of Rites and was rejected, there was a crack in the relationship between the two.

Hu Guozhu's people are all uncomfortable, you must know that the reason why Xia Guoxiang was able to recover was all because of Hu Guozhu's wonderful discussion in the court at the beginning, and now Xia Guoxiang's reinstatement is a bit of a turn of face and does not recognize people, besides, everyone knows who His Majesty is, he is simply a soft-eared king, which means that there will be more and more such things in the future.

In the face of such a situation, Hu Guozhu also began to prepare to win over the civil and military forces in the court, he did not plan to be attached to Xia Guoxiang's disciples, wouldn't he become a slave of the Xia family.

The civil and military forces in the court finally waited for the moment when they saw the blue sky, you must know that they are not looking forward to this moment for a day or two, Xia Guoxiang is proficient in national politics, and it will be difficult for them to get ahead with Xia Guoxiang, unless it is labeled with Xia Guoxiang's logo, but Hu Guozhu's is different, this person is more inclined to lead the army, and many of the ways in the court do not understand, so that they can reach a cooperative relationship with him.

The two sides immediately abandoned their previous suspicions, and planned to join hands to enter a broader world and join hands to carve up the power of the Xia Prime Minister.

Xia Guoxiang did not hesitate after learning the news, since Hu Guozhu gave up the opportunity to become his own command, then he could only become his enemy, one mountain could not tolerate two tigers, and one faction could not come out with two leaders, he could not let Hu Guozhu dominate everything.

The people of both factions are sharpening their knives and preparing to move, who knows that at this time there is news that the army of the Ming Dynasty will break through the city of Kunming ten days ago, and the Pingxi palace will fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, there are not too many important people in Pingxi Palace, but its significance is extraordinary, this is Wu Sangui's former palace, and now it has fallen into the hands of Daming, and all the old ministers have a feeling of sadness.

Wu Shifan was also a little embarrassed, although he had not been in the Pingxi Mansion before, but it was always a symbol of the Wu family, and now it has fallen into the hands of Daming, how can he explain to his grandfather under Jiuquan.

So he put forward his own requirements above the court: "Someone can recover Kunming, the official will be promoted to the third level, and the prince will be crowned!" ”

As for the twists and turns of the various impeachments above the court, Wu Shifan didn't look at it at all: "If you want to fight infighting, at least you must pacify the world first, what kind of ability is infighting now, the son of the landlord is more sensible than you in dividing the land and property, and you know that it is definitely not cheap for outsiders." ”

The courtiers were shocked, it seemed that their emperor was not so easy to deceive, and he could see the essence of many things, but when it came to pacifying Kunming, everyone had a toothache.

The current situation is that if you lead a small number of troops to the past, no one dares to guarantee that you can win, if you can't win and then want to deploy the army, it will be difficult for the emperor to be far away. If you lead the army over, what will happen to the situation in the Great Zhou?

Now it is the civil strife of the Ming Dynasty, Da Zhou always has to do something, taking advantage of his illness to kill him This is an eternal truth, if you wait for Da Ming to slow down, can Da Zhou still take advantage. Therefore, the ministers in the court will definitely not agree to send a large army, and they can only send a few thousand people, and the situation in the court is so tense now, but if you make a small mistake, you will have to be suppressed by the people of the opposite faction, who would dare to boast of going to Haikou to do such a thing.

Wu Shifan's face slowly sank, and he threw the folds on the table to the ground: "When attacking each other, no one is willing to be behind, for fear that other ministers will take the lead, and when it is time to serve the country, they dare not speak one by one, what do you think of this Great Zhou court?" ”
