As soon as Lu Daqi said the four words "Hui Lie Min'e", Yang Zhan pulled out the Fuhu Sword with a swish and said angrily: "My mentor can send Yang Zhan for anything, but don't mention this matter again!"

The King of Shu sighed: "Don't worry, instead of letting Shu become a hunting ground for others one day, it is better to join forces with Nanming now."

Yang Zhan looked at the King of Shu in disbelief, and did not shy away from Lu Daqi. He asked hoarsely: "Has your Majesty forgotten our wish? Even now, you still count on others to save Shu?"

The King of Shu opened his blind eyes and said slowly: "I don't want to be the emperor, and I can't be the emperor. You should not just be the general of Shu, you should be the general of tomorrow! You have An Tianxia

You have the talent to make the people of Ming have enough to eat. I can't be selfish, and you can't be narrow-minded. You have to believe Mr. Lu, there are people like him in Nanming, and with you, there will be a good future.

."

Yang Zhan couldn't believe his ears. The King of Shu, who had always been like-minded with him, was about to change his mind. A strong feeling of abandonment arose in his heart.

He subconsciously wanted to grasp the hand of the King of Shu, "Your Majesty, this is not a matter between you and me. This is a matter for the two million people of Shu. Are we going to put them in the chaos of the world again?"

The King of Shu insisted: "Master Lu just said it very well. As long as the Ming Dynasty is not restored, we can protect the people of Shu for a while, but we cannot protect them for life. How can the eggs be intact after the nest is overturned? Junior brother, it's all me who delayed you.

From now on, let’s join hands with Mr. Lu and work hard to restore the Ming Dynasty!”

Yang Zhan turned around and asked Lu Daqi again: "What on earth did his mentor say to the King of Shu to make him abandon Yang Zhan?"

Lu Daqi did not hide anything, saying: "The king of Shu is righteous and sensible. Lu just told him that if Shu takes the lead in separatism and everyone in the world follows suit, the Ming Dynasty will never be restored. If Shu takes the lead in subsuming Nanming

, will become a bridgehead to win over people's hearts, and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty will be just around the corner. Moreover, you will be the number one contributor to the Ming Dynasty."

Yang Zhan sneered and said: "My teacher is really good at it! Then how will you hunt Min'e with us?"

"Now, everyone is fighting for the Yongle Emperor. The brothers Sun Kewang sent people to Zhaoqing again and again, trying to welcome the emperor to Guizhou and coerce the emperor to order the princes, but the emperor used excuses to shirk. The king of Shu and the emperor are in the same line.

The general is talented enough to assist the emperor, so the court chose this place as the emperor's residence. If the king of Shu and the general agree, they will send me back to Zhaoqing to welcome the emperor to Jiading."

Yang Zhan understood that Emperor Yongle also took a fancy to Sichuan and wanted to use Sichuan as the base camp to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

He complained to the King of Shu in his heart, "You are confused, Your Majesty, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, how can one country have two masters? When Emperor Yongle comes, will it still be able to accommodate you, the King of Shu?"

But he couldn't say that. He could only use Sun Kewang as an example. After making up his mind, he said: "My mentor Rong Zhen, you are sending this great fame to Yang Zhan, please forgive Yang Zhan for not being able to appreciate it. Because I did this

The people of Shu cannot bear the consequences!"

Without waiting for them to ask, he continued speaking eloquently. "According to you, the person who most wants to welcome Emperor Yongle is Sun Kewang from Guizhou. If I snatch him to Shu, won't this be another target for Sun Kewang's brothers?"

Have you lured them here? You must know that we spent the lives of one million Shu people and spent all our efforts to drive them out. In this life, we never want to fight with such a tiger and wolf army again.

The ruins of Chengdu are still covered with weeds. We cannot heal our scars and forget about the pain."

As expected, the King of Shu hesitated and said no more. But Lu Daqi became even more impassioned, "That's why you just watch Emperor Yongle being exploited by tigers and wolves? In that case, the whole world will suffer!"

Yang Zhan sighed: "The world is so big, there are always capable people to deal with him. Moreover, Sun Kewang's brothers, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu are all people who can be fought for. If you really go there, you can definitely get something out of it."

Lu Daqi obviously came prepared, and immediately retreated to the next best thing, saying: "It's understandable not to welcome Emperor Yongle. But, it shouldn't be difficult to be included in Nanming, right? You just continue to run the Kingdom of Shu and be relatively independent. It's just that Shu

The king is the King of Shu in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the general is the general in the Southern Ming Dynasty. The six ministries of the cabinet have been removed, and the rewards of civil and military officials, big and small, will all be stamped with the Yongle Emperor's seal. As long as you take the lead, the situation in the world will soon be reversed, and the Ming Dynasty will be at peace.

Sichuan is naturally at peace."

The King of Shu waited for Yang Zhan to express his position, but Yang Zhan handed the decision-making power back to him and said, "I listen to the King of Shu on this matter."

The King of Shu said: "It is indeed inappropriate to welcome Emperor Yongle, but it has always been my wish to join the Ming Dynasty."

Yang Zhan added: "Let us advance this matter slowly by ourselves. We will not accept any officials sent by Nanming."

Lu Daqi sighed: "The world is in chaos, and there are all kinds of people. No wonder you have lingering fears for Nanming. As long as you nod and recognize Emperor Yongle, it will be done. You are the one who makes the final decision on the internal affairs of Shu."

Yang Zhan was overjoyed and thanked: "Thank you, my mentor, for making it possible. I hope Emperor Yongle and the Nanming court will live up to our expectations."

Lu Daqi said: "General Yang, what are you good at? You don't want the things that others are struggling to fight for. Others are afraid of shouldering the responsibility, so you insist on taking it."

The King of Shu laughed at the side and said: "So, if you tell me that I can hunt Min'e, it will be fine. If you tell him, he will be so anxious that he draws his sword!"

After saying that, the two laughed knowingly.

Yang Zhan always felt like he was betrayed. He didn't know that joining the Ming Dynasty was indeed the long-cherished wish of the King of Shu.

In the past, the behavior of the officials in the Ming Dynasty made the King of Shu feel cold, so he supported Yang Zhan to rely on his own strength to rescue the people of Shu. But since he contracted the blood pupil, he was always worried that he and his brothers would be overly motivated.

The lack of power actually harmed the people of Shu.

Lu Daqi's words, especially that only when the world is at peace, will Shu be at peace, touched him greatly.

Yang Zhan is different. Although it has been very difficult to deal with various crises recently, he believes that he still has enough ability to maintain the tranquility of Shu. He just wants to create a peach blossom garden, so that he can always live a peaceful life when the world is in chaos.

Peach Blossom Spring.
