Zhu Jie smiled: "Okay, since you have already arranged it, then launch it as soon as possible, and when Inspector Sun and Hou Sui and others return, it is time for the battle to begin......

Li Yan asked: "My lord, what is the attitude of other officials and nobles in Nanjing City now?" ”

Zhu Jie smiled slightly: "I have already ordered someone to invite Wu Dequan and others, and I will have a showdown with them today, I believe that these people can distinguish the pros and cons, hehe, they really think that if they want to stop me from supporting the new monarch, everything will be fine?" Joke! ”

Li Yan woke up suddenly, and suddenly remembered the nobles who formed the Yanhuang Company together, although the power is not the top, but it is also the first-class noble force in Nanjing, the six families, the energy they have is definitely not to be underestimated! Once they are won over, if they can attract a few to come over, or even only need to maintain neutrality, then the power of Ma Shiying and the others will be greatly weakened.

Li Yan smiled: "I forgot that the adult still has this hand, haha......"

While the two of them were talking and laughing, a servant ran up, bowed down and said, "Lord Qiqi Ministry, Lord Shi Kefa of the Imperial History of the Left Capital has visited!" ”

Li Yan said with a smile: "It seems that this Lord Shi is here to test your tone, supporting the new monarch, I have to say, it has alarmed almost all the powerful, and everyone is holding their own little Jiujiu." ”

Zhu Jie glared at Li Yan angrily, and said in a sullen voice: "I really miss that you don't seem to be holding your own little Jiujiu!" Please come in! ”

After a short time, Shi Kefa walked in from outside, his face a little gloomy.

Zhu Jie smiled: "Master Shi, what's wrong with you?" Who are you messing with? ”

"Humph!"

Shi Kefa snorted coldly and replied, "Who else can you follow?" Of course, it's with those bastards who have abandoned the public for personal reasons! Zhen Guogong, I don't understand, can't everyone give up their past suspicions and work together? What time is it? The country's danger is just around the corner, the mountains and rivers are broken, the first emperor is martyred, it's all at this time, and there are still people who are bent on intrigue, how can this be true, it really is unreasonable! ”

Li Yan smiled: "Master Shi, isn't this normal? If the country has no monarch, the courtiers naturally have their own thoughts, and if they have no thoughts, wouldn't they become fools? ”

"Brother Li Yan!"

Zhu Jie hurriedly shouted, "Master Shi, what's going on?" Let's hear it. ”

Shi Kefa sat on the chair and said angrily: "Just now, just now, Lord Gao Hongtu came to visit me in our mansion and told me something!" It's infuriating! Ma Shiying actually summoned Nanjing officials and nobles to gather in his mansion to discuss the matter of supporting the new monarch! ”

Zhu Jie smiled: "Master Shi, isn't this normal?" Why, just because they didn't ask you to go? ”

Shi Kefa said angrily: "Zhen Guogong, who do you think of me Shi Kefa?" Am I that small-bellied chicken intestine? They don't invite me, I don't write about being with this group of people, do you know what they're going to do? If they really are wholeheartedly for the country and the people, discussing the candidates for the new monarch, I, Shi Kefa, respect what they have done, but this Ma Shiying actually openly united with everyone present and aimed the spearhead directly at you! Declare that as long as you Zhu Jie put forward the candidate, no matter who it is, it will not be approved in the court! What is this? What is this? The party is the same! Even if it is a party struggle, it must not be used as a tool for struggle with the throne! The Ming Dynasty is already on the verge of extinction, and they still have the heart to fight! ”

"Master Shi!"

Zhu Jie shook his head with a wry smile and replied, "I already knew about this matter yesterday, what's so strange?" Whether it is Ma Shiying or Xu Hongji, each of them has irreconcilable contradictions with me Zhu Jie, and it is related to their future net worth and life, so they naturally want to do their best to oppose me......"

"You know that, too?"

Shi Kefa was shocked, and immediately pouted and replied: "Even if there is a contradiction, at this time, shouldn't you give up your previous suspicions?" Zhen Guogong, don't you think that you have to live and die, right? ”

Zhu Jie smiled and said: "Master Shi, if I were Zhu Jie like that, I'm afraid you wouldn't come to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials to find me, wouldn't you?" ”

Shi Kefa said in a deep voice: "I came here this time, just to ask the prince of Zhenguo to have an attitude, about supporting the new monarch, should he be a virtuous or a successor?" ”

Zhu Jie didn't speak, this attitude was naturally not suitable for him, Li Yan on the side took over the words in time and asked, "Master Shi, what did Lixian say?" What do you say? ”

Shi Kefa glanced at it, he was quite dissatisfied with Li Yan, he was just a staff member under the command of the Duke of Zhenguo, even if he was quite famous, but when it came to important military affairs, how could he interject at will? However, seeing that Zhu Jie didn't say anything, Shi Kefa didn't dig deeper, after all, Shi Kefa knew very well in his heart that Zhen Guogong attached great importance to this Li Yan, and many of Zhen Guogong's measures were based on Li Yan's suggestion.

Shi Kefa said in a deep voice: "It's very simple, if you are virtuous, you will naturally be selected to ascend the throne based on talent and virtue; If it is a successor, it is naturally based on intimacy, and the king of the first emperor and the close branch of the vassal is elected to ascend the throne; Now that the national crisis is at hand, our courtiers to support the new monarch naturally want to take the Ming Lord as the first, if they choose not to be human, how can they resist the tiger and wolf army of the Manchurian Tartars? But Ma Shiying and others still cling to the concept of establishing a successor, and they have to recommend King Fu of Luoyang to the throne, who in the world does not know that King Fu is insatiable? The old Fu King died without a place to be buried, it is retribution, and the little Fu King is not much better than the old Fu King! Such a person becomes the lord of a country, it is not a blessing for the country, hum, they just want to find a vassal king to ascend the throne, it is better to be like a clay sculpture, nothing cares, just convenient for them to get up and down, open the door of convenience! ”

Although Shi Kefa's ability is limited, his loyalty is undoubted, and his jealous and hateful nature naturally makes it impossible for such pickled things to happen in his eyes.

Li Yan smiled and replied: "Master Shi, it is certainly not advisable to establish a successor, but then, Lixian? Hehe, what the students want to say is that among the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty today, there are people with both talent and virtue? Even if there is, can there be anyone who surpasses the first emperor? The diligent government of the first emperor, the more than ten emperors of the Ming Dynasty almost did not come out of the right, and in the end they did not end up being martyred, these vassal kings? Hehe, students really can't look down on it, they really don't look down on ......"

"Presumptuous!"

Shi Kefa finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted angrily: "Li Yan, I discussed important military affairs with the Zhenguo Gong, how can you be allowed to judge the scholar's character?" Do you still know how to respect the elders and the young? Outrageous! ”
