On the early morning of the eighth day of June, the clouds were thick, the whole sky was gray, and the humidity, heat and dullness made people feel breathless.

Li Bao and the palace guards hurried to Zhang Guowei's residence and knocked on the courtyard door.

Last night, after Zhang Huangyan sent Zhang Guowei to his residence, he was persuaded by Zhang Guowei to stay. The two chatted for a while, and they felt like they had met their close friends.

When they heard someone coming from the palace, Zhang Guowei and Zhang Huangyan hurried out to greet them.

In the courtyard of the Square, Li Bao read out Zhu Changzi's decree, appointed Zhang Guowei as right deputy censor of the capital, patrolled Zhejiang, and was given the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and governor of Zhejiang's military affairs.

Zhang Guowei didn't have many surprises. It was obvious that King Lu would reuse him, so he thanked him and accepted the decree.

"Governor Zhang, congratulations!" Li Bao handed the decree to Zhang Guowei with a smile and congratulated him sincerely.

"Thank you so much, Chamberlain Li." With that said, Zhang Guowei took out a piece of white silver from his sleeve and quietly stuffed it into Li Bao's hand.

Zhang Huangyan on the side frowned, with some confusion on his face.

Li Bao did not accept Zhang Guowei's money, but gently stepped back and said without changing his expression: "Governor Zhang, this morning, Huzhou Prefecture sent another Tang News. The vanguard of the Qing army has reached the front line of Jingai Mountain.

Deqing is not far away."

"Time is not waiting for me. I will open a mansion here and prepare to defend the war in Hangzhou! Please tell the governor to tell the governor to quickly issue an edict from King Qin and order the righteous troops to gather in Hangzhou City." Zhang Guowei silently put away the money and said with some urgency. After passing the golden lid,

The mountain is Deqing County, and Deqing is about a hundred miles away from Hangzhou. It can be said that the Qing army will really attack the city soon!

Li Bao also knew that the matter was urgent, nodded and handed all the seals to Zhang Guowei, then bowed and left, turned around and left in a hurry.

Zhang Huangyan was also about to return to the palace, but he didn't want to be stopped by Zhang Guowei: "Xuanzhu, just follow me and I will tell you where the prison is!"

"Thank you, Governor!" Zhang Huangyan was overjoyed. He was full of ambitions, but he always had no way to serve the country. In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen's reign, he passed the exam. During the exam, the court asked the candidates to "test shoot", and he hit all three arrows.

The whole audience was shocked. But despite this, he could only wait for the vacancy to be filled. As he waited, Beidu fell and Nanjing surrendered.

Now that he is under the supervision of King Lu, he finally has a place to use himself.

"Xuanzhu, the Fangying outside the city must be captured in our hands first. You should immediately take the governor's Yamen order to collect food and pay and send it to Fangying."

"Students will do it now!"

After that, Zhang Huangyan took the token handed to him by Zhang Guowei and left in a hurry. He had to go to the prefect Zhang Yinli to handle this matter.

At this time, a group of royal guards came outside the door. The leader was Chen Hongfan, who was staring at the dark circles under his eyes and feeling listless. He held something in his hands, sighed at the door, and entered the courtyard.

"See you, Lord Governor. I am here to help you with your duties. This is your robe." Chen Hongfan knelt on the ground, raised his official uniform in front of Zhang Guowei with both hands, and said respectfully.

Seeing Chen Hongfan dressed in military uniform, Zhang Guowei secretly said that he was just in time, so he said in a deep voice: "Get up and put him in the room."

A soldier stepped forward, took the official uniform from Chen Hongfan's hand, and went into the house.

"Chen Hongfan, I order you to go immediately to find out the actual strength of each guard station in Hangzhou Prefecture, select available troops, and assemble in the city." After Zhang Guowei said this, he handed him a governor's token.

Chen Hongfan, who had been punished by King Lu, did not dare to neglect at all. He took the order and left. A small banner of palace guards followed closely behind Chen Hongfan. They were the "personal bodyguards" assigned to Chen Hongfan by Zhu Changzi.

On the other side, King Lu Zhu Changzi convened the ministers at the palace. After an intensive discussion, Ma Shiying drafted the edict. King Qin's edict, which King Lu nodded, came out of the palace and was quickly spread throughout Zhejiang.

"He who oversees the country's stability in times of crisis, and his literary and military skills are actually the masters of ZTE!" Seeing that the important matter was over, Ruan Dacheng moved his buttocks that were numb from sitting for a long time and complimented Zhu Changzi. Now that everything has gone well, it's time

Find a future for yourself.

Ma Shiying, who was sitting aside, glanced at Ruan Dacheng. He was also a little uneasy and confused in his heart. King Lu had already supervised the country, but he had not appointed himself as the old ministers of Hongguang. On the contrary, Zhang Guowei of Suzhou was secretly ordered to go to Hangzhou and become Zhejiang Province.

Governor-General, this really makes Ma Shiying feel very unhappy. After all, he has the merit of self-reliance and support.

Seeing that Ruan Dacheng started talking, Ma Shiying also wanted him to explore King Lu's tone first, so he remained silent.

Zhang Bingzhen, the right minister of the Ministry of War, also felt very uncomfortable at the moment. He was originally the governor of Zhejiang, but now he was overthrown by Zhang Guowei. At this time, in Zhejiang, it can be said that Zhang Guowei, the powerful governor, is truly under one person. He wanted to say no

It was impossible to be angry. After all, King Lu was supported by himself and Ma Shiying. As a result, the peach was picked by others. He really didn't understand how Zhang Guowei, who had little interaction with King Lu, gained King Lu's favor.<

/p>

Zhu Dadian, former Shangshu of Hongguang Ministry of War and Governor of Shangjiang Military Affairs, watched the three of them with cold eyes. Seeing Ruan Dacheng's coquettish appearance, he couldn't help but feel sick in his heart.

When Zhu Changzi heard Ruan Dacheng's words, he didn't reply. He just smiled and looked through the local newspapers in his hand.

Ruan Dacheng was stunned for a moment, then he fell to the ground and cried loudly: "The great talents of the supervisory country have great strategies, and the people of the south of the Yangtze River are attached to them. Why not take advantage of this to take a step further and get the big treasure early. In this way, the people's hearts can be permanently settled and foreign invaders can be deterred!"

Ma Shiying secretly observed King Lu, and saw that his expression did not change. He could not guess what King Lu was thinking, and he hesitated to follow Ruan Dacheng.

Zhang Bingzhen, on the other hand, knelt down without hesitation and agreed: "I also ask the supervisor to come to the Ninth Five-Year Plan as soon as possible to turn things around and restore the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Changzi looked at the two people on the ground with their buttocks sticking out with interest. He couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart. He thought, can I still lose my position as emperor? If Hangzhou defends, I will ascend the throne. If Hangzhou cannot defend, what will happen if I ascend the throne?

What's the use? You guys are just flattering me here for your own power.

The First Emperor gradually became disgusted with the two people in front of him. Look at the three of them, how come they are both scholars, but there is such a big gap?

At this time, Zhu Changzi noticed that Zhu Dadian, who was sitting far away, lowered his head and meditated as if nothing had happened. He was a little curious and asked, "What is Yanzhi thinking about?"

Zhu Dadian hurriedly stood up and saluted and replied: "When I return to the prison, I am thinking about the approaching Qing army. If kowtow is useful, I would like to kowtow until death!"

As soon as they said this, Ruan Dacheng and Zhang Bingzhen, who were kneeling on the ground, instantly turned green and felt embarrassed as they knelt there.

Ma Shiying looked at Zhu Dadian in surprise. Zhu Dadian had never dealt with them in the Nanjing court before. Now this man is still so sharp. It seems that he needs to be more careful in the future.

Zhu Changzi didn't expect that Zhu Dadian's words were so surprising. He was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, thinking that this is really an interesting person.

At this moment, Li Bao hurriedly came to Zhu Changzi's side and said in a low voice: "I would like to report to the Supervisor, Governor Zhang, please allocate money to prepare for the city's defense."
