When Nanjing was busy, Qin Sande quieted down, and the officials who came to the inn to ask for instructions and report matters all went directly to Zhu Youxiang, Qin Sande did not have the slightest opinion, even if some officials wanted to find him Qin Sande, he also tried his best to shirk it, saying that all the big things were decided by Lord Zhu Youxiang, and it was okay to find Lord Zhu directly, most of the officials who were busy would not think about it for the time being, but Sun Tai had already paid attention.

Sun Tai's impression of Zhu Youxiang is gradually changing, when Zhu Youxiang first came to Nanjing, he was a little submissive, everything was Qin Sande's speech, at that time, Sun Tai's impression of Zhu Youxiang was not very good, although he knew the situation in the capital, but Nanjing was not often, there was no such atmosphere for the time being, and then Qin Sande became more and more arrogant, everything was directly in charge, and he didn't even ask Zhu Youxiang's opinion, but every order that could be issued had Zhu Youxiang's signature, which made Sun Tai even more disdainful, even looked down on Zhu Youxiang.

Qin Sande can hold power, maybe this is the emperor's trust in Qin Sande, Zhu Youxiang feels helpless, but since Qin Sande is completely in charge, then all orders issued should be issued in the name of Qin Sande personally, and it has nothing to do with Zhu Youxiang, and Zhu Youxiang can completely shirk it, but Zhu Youxiang doesn't say anything, and is at the mercy of Qin Sande, he is purely a puppet.

But this time Zhu Youxiang's calmness completely changed Sun Tai's opinion, and after suffering such a heavy defeat, Qin Sande, who was completely in charge before, didn't say anything. It doesn't matter, all the burden is pushed to Zhu Youxiang, which is at this time. Zhu Youxiang can completely shirk his responsibility and ask Qin Sande to continue to be responsible to the end, which is completely reasonable, but Zhu Youxiang did not do this and took over the heavy responsibility, which can never be said that Zhu Youxiang is greedy for power and now takes over the burden. It's no longer a power, it's a pure responsibility, if it's not loyalty to the court. If it weren't for the overall situation, Zhu Youxiang would not have done this.

Sun Tai has always been unaccustomed to Qin Sande, not only Qin Sande, Sun Tai is not used to eunuchs. He never had too much contact with eunuchs. After coming to Nanzhili, except for the needs of work, he and the eunuch did not talk at all the rest of the time.

Qin Sande's completely different performance before and after made Sun Tai even more disdainful, and there were also a lot of worries.

When the time came to the afternoon, seeing that Zhu Youxiang was almost busy and a little more leisurely, Sun Tai suggested that Zhu Youxiang go out of the inn. went around the neighborhood, and Zhu Youxiang, who was about to refuse. Seeing Sun Tai's expression was very serious, he nodded and agreed.

"My lord, there are some things that are not easy for the lower officials to say in the official post, and they are only easy to say when they come out, and the words and things that the lower officials are going to say are all speculations, just to remind the adults."

"Master Sun thought of something, just say it."

"Xia Guan thinks that Father-in-law Qin's performance is too strange, and his recent performance, compared with his performance some time ago, is like two people."

"Lord Sun, it's better not to talk about these things, Gonggong Qin's body is a little unwell, it's okay to rest properly, there's nothing strange, Lord Sun don't believe some rumors outside."

"The lower official knows that Lord Lu Dao will say so, and the lower official will say it directly, Qin Gonggong's performance, the lower official thinks it is not ordinary, on the surface, Qin Gonggong because of the wrong decision made before, which led to the current situation, I am afraid that he blames himself in his heart, and he is unwilling to continue to issue orders, so as not to make a bigger mistake, but in fact it is not necessarily the case, the adults are with Qin Gonggong every day, and they are busy arranging, so they don't think so much, the so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders."

Zhu Youxiang is not stupid, the vassal king and the prince of the vassal king have an unusual understanding of the sinister nature of the human heart. It's just that during this time, he has been thinking about the defense of Nanjing and Fengyang, and has not considered anything else, and now that Sun Tai has pointed it out, he will immediately consider the problems inside.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiang was obviously in deep thought, Sun Tai breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't plan to say the rest of the words.

But at this time, Zhu Youxiang spoke.

"I am grateful for Lord Sun's reminder, but the situation in front of me is too tense, and it is better not to think about such things for the time being, and when the situation in Nanjing and Fengyang stabilizes a little, I will think about these aspects."

Sun Tai nodded, it's hard to say anything, people already understand, what else do you need to remind, besides, Sun Tai is also very dissatisfied with Zhu Youxiang's answer, such an answer has a perfunctory meaning, since you Zhu Youxiang perfunctory me, then I don't need to worry so much.

Qin Sande has already started to act, Nanjing's garrison eunuch has been sent to the capital, the task is very clear, one is to find the great eunuch Wang Chengen, begging Wang Chengen to say a few words in front of the emperor, let him go back to the capital, no longer be this prison army, of course, it is also necessary to say that Zhu Youxiang's ability is very good, he can command the battle, the second is to find Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, and implore Zhou Yanru to help, of course, the statement is different, you can use the tense situation in the capital to speak, you can also start from the perspective of recommending candidates, let the emperor consider the substitution.

At this time, Qin Sande completely made up his mind, no matter what method he used, as long as he could leave Nanjing, as long as he could return to the capital, he didn't care about anything, even if he let Zhu Youxiang take all the responsibility, it didn't matter if he came to bear the black pot, Qin Sande's so-called praise of Zhu Youxiang's very capable words were very vicious, on the one hand, the mutual praise between the eunuchs and the ministers of the court would have made the emperor suspicious, and secondly, Zhu Youxiang's identity was different, and he had already encountered the emperor's suspicion, If Nan Zhili's fiasco is folded to the imperial court, where does Zhu Youxiang still have a chance to live, I am afraid that the power to debate will be gone, and his head will be cut off directly.

This is exactly the result that Qin Sande is most willing to see.

There are more than 100,000 troops waiting in Nanjing, and they will not be lost for the time being, but it may not be in the future.

These days, Qin Sande doesn't care about anything, and among the many orders he has issued, he has not signed his name, in fact, he has begun to shirk his responsibility, from this moment on, Zhu Youxiang has entered the trap he has laid.

When Zhu Youxiang entered the house, Qin Sande was a little worried, for two consecutive days, Zhu Youxiang did not come over, according to his knowledge, there are still many things that need to be dealt with, for what Zhu Youxiang came at this time, is there any suspicion, you must know that Zhu Youxiang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, otherwise it is impossible to become the military secretary of the imperial court.

"During this time, the adults are very hard, our family feels uneasy, many decisions made by our family before, now I think about it is very ashamed, if I listened to the advice of the adults, the situation would be much better."

Zhu Youxiang paused for a moment, he didn't expect Qin Sande to say this, he also took the time to take a look, and Sun Tai had to think about what he said.

"Father-in-law, don't say that, I'm just here to see, the emperor and the court's heavy responsibility, don't dare to have the slightest negligence, I don't know when Father-in-law Lu Dao will be able to discuss the matter of Nanzhili with me."

"Don't mention the matter of discussion, our family has been introspecting during this time, the adult has a good schedule, although we lost the first battle, but it's not too late to make amends, everything is relying on adults to turn the tide, our family sees it in the eyes and keeps it in mind, everything in the future is subject to the opinions of adults, the hurdle in our hearts has not yet passed, so I can't lift my spirit, many things, or ask adults to worry more."

"My father-in-law said so, I will be reluctant to make it difficult, victory or defeat is common sense in soldiers, and my father-in-law should not blame himself too much, as long as he can hold Nanjing and Fengyang Mansion, the problem will not be too big."

When Zhu Youxiang was about to leave, he suddenly patted his head.

"Seeing that I have forgotten such a major event, the battle report about Nanzhili, I drafted a copy below, and I am going to report it to the imperial court, also because some situations are not very clear, for example, Huang Degong of Songjiang Mansion, what is the situation, I haven't gotten accurate information yet, this performance is also an approximate situation, what advice does my father-in-law have."

A hint of coldness flashed in Qin Sande's eyes, this was what he was most worried about.

"Let's look at this twist and turn, or temporarily suppress it, the situation in Huizhou Mansion and other places, is not particularly clear, especially the situation of General Huang Degong, not fully known, the emperor and the court are impossible to know that the situation here is extremely complicated, if you see the unclear twists and turns, you will definitely blame, rather than suffer from blame, it is better to figure out all the situation, and then report it, and during this time, the situation in Nanjing and Fengyang and other places seems to be a little tense, deploy the relevant defense, That's the biggest thing. ”

Seeing an embarrassed expression on Zhu Youxiang's face, Qin Sande hurriedly changed his tone.

"Our family is just putting forward suggestions, and everything is still up to the adults."

Finally, Zhu Youxiang sighed.

"In fact, my father-in-law and I have the same idea, the front is extremely chaotic, and the relevant situation has not been thoroughly figured out, in this case, it is impossible to say so clearly, this unclear performance is on the court, I am afraid that my father-in-law and I are not easy to explain, and it will also make the emperor more worried, what my father-in-law said is still very right, the situation of Nanzhili, it is good not to play for the time being, and wait until the defense of Nanjing and Fengyang is implemented, and then it is not too late to report."

"My lord Mingjian, our family admires it."

After Zhu Youxiang left, Qin Sande's face once again showed a cold expression, what Zhu Youxiang came for, he actually knew it, from Zhu Youxiang's subtle attitude, it could be completely seen and felt, which prompted him to make up his mind, speed up his actions, and when necessary, unscrupulous means to achieve the goal.
