"Fourth uncle, you have to think of a way, three days at most, at most three days, my father will personally lead the army to the Northern Expedition, when the time comes, it will be too late, we can't drag the entire family into a state of no recovery because of one Jiro, Jiro is a human being, is it possible that the Zheng family is full of hundreds of people up and down the family and decided that it was not raised by his father's biological parents? What's more, in this way, all of us in the Zheng family will become rebels, and this infamy will follow the children and grandchildren for generations to come, and everyone will be nailed to the pillar of shame! ”

Zheng Chenggong said urgently.

Not to mention anything else, treason to the enemy, admit a thief as a father, and rebel against his son and a second minister, no one wants to bear this infamy, not to mention Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chenggong has studied in Guozijian over the years, and now Guozijian has been influenced by Yingtian Academy, and at the same time, because of Zhu Jie's subtlety, the concept of loyalty and patriotism has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially young students, there is no shortage of enthusiastic loyalists, Xia Wanchun is one of the representatives, Zheng Chenggong is no exception.

"How? What do you think? What can we do? The power of the entire Zheng family is in the hands of your father, and it is useless for anyone to oppose it, not to mention that your third uncle is also fully supporting him, and it is more difficult to persuade your father to turn back than to ascend to the sky......"

Zheng Hongkui is also worried, what should I do? This is a dead knot, no one can help it, it involves the life and death of Tagawa Shichizaemon, the rise and fall of the Zheng family, Zheng Zhilong also has no way out, as for the imperial court, now the imperial court has been forced into a corner by Zheng Zhilong, there is also no good strategy, first robbed the arms, then assassinated the Qincha in Zhejiang, and now it is going to officially raise the flag to rebel, even if the imperial court wants to let go of the Zheng family, it must ask the people of the government and the opposition whether they agree!

"Fourth uncle, otherwise, let's surrender! I'm in solitary confinement now, aren't you okay yet? Immediately, in the name of the two of us, we sent a letter to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to be magnanimous, spare the Zheng family, only punish the evil, and ignore the accomplices, on this condition, the two of us are willing to act as an internal response, contact and mobilize Fuzhou Town, Fujian Sailors and all the soldiers of the Zheng family who are unwilling to betray the imperial court, and wait for the opportunity to dispatch! ”

Zheng Chenggong said in a low voice.

"Only the first evil? Only the first evil? ”

Zheng Hongkui's face was gloomy, and he roared: "Then what do you mean is that all the black cauldrons have been thrown to your father, and you don't care about your life and death?" You are loyal, what about filial piety, are you filial piety? ”

"Fourth uncle!"

Zheng Chenggong also said in a low voice: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma, I have tried my best to convince my nephew, in order to be able to convince him, I have turned my face against him, and even been imprisoned by him, I have been imprisoned for more than ten days!" Do I want to watch his old man die? But if he doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, what can I do? can only save one and count one, at least the family that is bigger than Nuo will die completely, right? I'm in Guozijian, you are in Zhenjiang, how much ability does this emperor have, you and I know better than anyone in the entire Zheng family, it's not that the Manchurian Tartars were forced into a corner by the imperial court, and he Dolgon would send people to Fuzhou to form an alliance? What's more, from Zuo Liangyu to Ma Shiying, which person's power is small, and which one is not completely defeated in a short period of time? Even if our Zheng family is stronger than Zuo Liangyu, can it be stronger than Zhang Xianzhong's army of nearly 200,000? ”

Zheng Hongkui was dumbfounded, Zheng Chenggong said well, others in the Zheng family don't know Zhu Jie's ability, but he and Zheng Chenggong know best, the real unfathomable, the dragon can't see the end, no one knows how much ability this emperor has, and what tricks are hidden behind it.

Zheng Hongkui smiled bitterly: "It's just, do you think it's possible?" Can the emperor believe our words? Even if you believe our words, how can you agree, even if the emperor agrees, the courtiers can agree? Committing rebellion, treason and joining the enemy, any of which is a heinous felony, I don't know the canonical punishment, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, and it will be difficult to deter people who have bad thoughts in the future......"

"Fourth uncle, I have seen the emperor, although I only listened to his words in the country eunuch, and did not talk, but I can also see a lot of unusual places in the emperor, he has a mind, a bearing, courage, a decisive decision to kill but a compassionate heart, can not kill, he will never kill, as long as we sincerely submit to the loyalty, I don't think there is any problem, not to mention that now the court is facing huge pressure, the court is also trying to reduce the enemy, unite all the forces that can be united, It's just that my father and Jiro are not possible, but there is still hope that the other clansmen will be saved......"

Zheng Chenggong said in a deep voice, "It's just that I'm soft-spoken, and my identity is still very sensitive, even if I say it, it's useless, but Fourth Uncle, you're different, you are the dignified Zhenjiang Town Commander, General Zhenhai, the weight of your words is enough!" ”

Zheng Hongkui's eyes flashed, Zheng Chenggong definitely didn't have any selfish intentions in this matter, if he had selfish intentions, he wouldn't be like this, but he couldn't just be brave and loyal, he had to come up with something real and convince the court! With a red mouth and white teeth, just relying on a letter, he wants to win the trust of the court, even if the emperor has the grace, it is difficult to believe it.

"Okay, this letter, let's write it jointly, no matter what, if you can save it, you can save it, Sen'er, what are you going to do next? If that's all there is to it, I'm afraid it's not enough......"

Zheng Hongkui asked.

Zheng Chenggong said in a low voice: "Fourth uncle, the next 8,000 good horses of the Manchurian Tartars will be transported to Fuzhou by sea, we can just use this batch of war horses to make a petition, you personally ask for the order to escort the war horses, and directly transport the war horses to Nanjing halfway, and at the same time lead the troops to start an incident, as long as we show sincerity, compared to this time, the imperial court will not reject the ......"

Zheng Hongkui nodded, what Zheng Chenggong said is good, no matter what, if you want to convince people that you only really want to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, then you have to show sincerity, and you still have to hand over the letter of nomination.

"Okay, I'll get it done on your father's side, now it's the time for him to employ people, otherwise he wouldn't have called me back from Zhenjiang, and I wanted to come over to meet the mission of eight thousand war horses, we will write the letter now, and I will take it away directly after writing, and send my cronies to Nanjing immediately, but at the same time, let go of the incident first, if I have an accident halfway, what should you do in Fuzhou? If you want to start an incident, then we must start an incident in Fuzhou, and try our best to instigate the Zheng family's sailors to fall to the court again! Only then do we have the capital to plead for mercy......"
