Ge Yi's proposal was of great help to the state affairs of the Tang King. After all, the status of Chengbi and Zhang Xiaoqi was there. Whether Zhou Shixiang recognized them or not, they were all governors and governors of the Ming Dynasty. Even the Qing court recognized this. However, Zhou Shixiang did not ask Ge Yi to send troops to attack Qinzhou. As long as he came to Wencun first, he decided whether to capture Qinzhou and send troops from land to Annan.

Zhou Shixiang's view was that leaving Qinzhou at the moment may give Annan people a room for circumference. After all, he had no intention of capturing the entire territory of Annan because the Taiping Army did not have the ability to destroy the country, and even if he had it, Zhou Shixiang did not have the time and energy to deal with the subsequent large-scale guerrilla resistance of the Annan people. At that time, Chengzu's 300,000 army was unable to eliminate the Annan resistance army in Annan, and later Americans did not succeed. Therefore, Zhou Shixiang did not think that the current Taiping Army could complete the major task of completely occupying Annan. If the investment in Annan was too large, then put the cart before the horse. Compared with the ungrateful Annan, the Qing court was the main concern of the Taiping Army.

Zhou Shixiang used troops to fight Annan for only two purposes, one was for Annan's rice, and the other was for those who were detained. The former was more important than the latter. Although his subordinates all valued the eldest princess as the future Princess Qi, many people yelled to kill Annan to grab the princess back, but in Zhou Shixiang's eyes, the princess he had never seen before may be less important to him than a boat of rice.

The Military Information Department made some progress in the intelligence actions of Annan. It is found that Annan's national conditions are complicated, and the three families in power are each dragging their backs. King Annan is not just a word and is unable to control the domestic political situation. The one who detains the Ming Dynasty ministers and the eldest princess and his party is possessing Annan's north and privately doing it.

This information made Zhou Shi more confident than using troops to Annan. Annan's terrain was narrow and long, the navy's strength was weak, and the coastal defense was almost zero, which was a favorable condition to suppress Annan. What should Annan do? Zhou Shixiang has given Zhao Ziqiang full power to give Zhao Ziqiang. As long as Zhao Ziqiang is not stupid, the ending of Annan people is destined to be the same as that of the Qing Dynasty in later generations - to use the whole country to please the leader of the Ming Dynasty.

Some of the military staff members believed that if the Annan people were under the pressure of the expeditionary army, they would rush towards Guangxi, and then threaten Nanning and other places, like Nong Zhigao during the Song Dynasty. In response, Zhou Shixiang smiled and said that the Taiping Army had only controlled several large towns in Guangxi. The southern part of Guangxi had basically not occupied it, and there were all chieftain armed forces. If the Annan people were interested in going north, Zhou Shi would cheer for them. Because of this, the Annan people would help the Taiping Army to eliminate the chieftain forces that refused to surrender.

If the chieftains turned to Annan and attacked Nanning with the Annan army, Zhou Shixiang would not be worried. Even if the final battle situation really turned like that, the Taiping Army would send troops to capture Qinzhou, and then penetrated from Qinzhou and cut off the retreat of the Annan army to the north and head north and head to the south. The Expeditionary Force landed in Annan again, and the Annan army that wanted to go north alone with one family had to lie down. After all, the one who seized the Ming Dynasty officials and princesses was the one in the north, not the two in the south. If the Ming Dynasty could help those two families kill the north, I am afraid that the two families in the south would be willing to bear the military salary, money, and food expenses, and even directly sent troops to help. There are few people in this world who provide timely assistance, but there is never a shortage of people who take advantage of the situation, let alone the huge disputes of interests involved.

Grand Secretary Guo Zhiqi is now well in good health, so Zhou Shixiang brought him from Guangxi. He knew that Zhou Shixiang returned to Guangdong to support the king of Tang, but Grand Secretary Guo did not object or support, but remained silent.

Gui Yongzhi and the others guessed the true thoughts of Grand Secretary Guo. They all said that this person was a senior official of Yongli's secret master. He did not support the king of Tang, which means that he was looking forward to Yongli. If he was brought to Wencun, he would not have any trouble.

Zhou Shixiang's view is the opposite. Guo Zhiqi is silent, but in this world, silence is often an attitude.

If Guo Zhiqi really opposed the Tang King's Regent, he could shout out directly and show Zhou Shi's appearance as a loyal minister, but he didn't do this. This shows that he actually agreed with the Tang King's Regent. After all, Yongli's abandonment of the country has a bad impact. If the new king cannot be established in the country, everyone will be a coward, an emperor who fled. Which of the soldiers below feels comfortable and who is willing to work for such an emperor? Let me ask, the emperor himself has run away and still hopes that the soldiers and civilians below will continue to fight for him. Is this possible?

Therefore, Guo Zhiqi's silence just shows that he supports supporting the founding of the Tang King's regent, but because of his embarrassing identity, he really cannot speak out to express his support. This is similar to Lianchengbi in Qinzhou and Zhang Xiaoqi.

However, compared to Lianchengbi, Guo Zhiqi was much more enlightened. He did not refuse Zhou Shixiang's invitation to go to Wencun with him. On the way, Zhou Shixiang asked Annan several times what was going on with the will of Annan to be appointed as King of Qi. Guo Zhiqi shook his head and said he didn't know. He only knew that Yongli only enthroned Zhou Shixiang as Duke of Guangdong and married the eldest princess to Zhou Shixiang as his wife.

Zhou Shixiang asked Guo Zhiqi if there was any possibility that Yongli had issued this order before he left the country and fled. Guo Zhiqi hesitated for a while and did not speak because he didn't know if there was any possibility. It would be better if Guo Zhiqi didn't know whether it was true or not, even the ministers of the cabinet department did not know the authenticity of this matter, so there would be even more possibility of operation.

Zhou Shixiang was eager to get the title of King Qi, and the title of Prince was just a matter of being a prince. Therefore, if there was no endorsement of the decree of King Qi of Yongli, it would be that King Tang would be the title of King Tang. For a long time in the future, the title that Zhou Shixiang could get would probably be the Duke of Guangdong, not the King of Qi. As the Duke of Guangdong, he was the Duke of Guangdong to preside over the Tang Dynasty's regime and the Northern Expedition, and command the Ming army forces in various places. Obviously, this identity is not enough, far from enough. Therefore, fakes must be made true.

When they arrived in Taishan, the sixth town general Suna and the cavalry town general Shao Chengguo also rushed over. In this way, the few generals in Guangdong were only Hu Qili, the seventh town in Chaozhou, and Qi Hao, the fifteenth town general in Lianzhou, did not arrive. The other generals rushed to participate in the state affairs of the Tang King. Although Guangxi won a great victory, Yu Shizhong was busy redeploying the Guangxi-Guizhou defense line and would not be able to come to Guangdong for a while. However, Wang, the assistant minister and the blind Li rushed to Guangdong without waiting for the orders of the military commander's office. The two of them were not going to participate in the support of the Tang King, but wanted to come back quickly, otherwise they would be afraid that they would be incorporated into the Guangxi Field Army and could not participate in the Northern Expedition to the Southern Capital.

In Guangxi, anyone with a discerning eye knows that there will be no more large-scale battles. With the annihilation of Roto and the Front Guoan, the Yunnan, Guizhou and Qing troops wanted to organize a large-scale offensive in the short term, but it would not be possible without three or five months. In these three or five months, the Northern Expedition Army had already reached Nandu.

Suna, a town general who was born in Manchuria, came to persuade the King of Tang, and several other Manchuria and Mongolian generals, made the King of Tang even more outstanding. Zhou Shixiang asked them to come over, and wanted the King of Tang to see. Look, even Manzhou and Mongolian Tatars came to persuade you to be a king of Tang, which is the world's heart. What reason do you have to be wrong?

After Zhou Shixiang arrived in Wencun, he immediately led all the officials to invite the King of Tang to the Kingdom of Responsible. When the King of Tang received the second letter of persuading the Kingdom of Responsible, he saw the Grand Secretary Guo Zhiqi behind Zhou Shixiang's name. He was still quite surprised at that time.

On that day, due to a sudden heavy rain before noon, it cleared after the rain, and a rainbow suddenly appeared in the sky. Wang Ming, the magistrate of Taishan outside the palace, saw it, and was very happy on the spot and shouted "Auspiciousness from the sky." So amid the calls of "Auspiciousness from the sky, the King of Tang will respond to the heavens", Zhou Shixiang and all the officials and civil and military officials knelt down to ask the King of Tang to supervise the country.

It was the first time that King Tang saw the rumored "thief scholar" and Zhou Shixiang also saw Tang Fan himself for the first time. The two looked at each other, both guessing the other's true intentions.

"The world's major affairs must not be left without a master. How can Your Highness abandon the world and be fully fame!" Pian Yuan Governor Yuan shouted quickly, and the general came in person, so he could have to show his strength.

"I respectfully ask Your Highness to supervise the country!" Zhou Shiqi led civil and military officials to worship again.

"I have no way to govern the world. Besides, the emperor is still there, so how can I find the matter of governing the country? Don't mention it again." The King of Tang refused again as last time, and did not agree to this matter because Zhou Shi personally arrived.

Wang Guangxing, Duke of Jing, hurriedly said: "The emperor abandons the country, and the military and civilians in the world lose their lords. If Your Highness does not supervise the country, will he endure the separation of the military and civilians and will bear the destruction of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Your Highness is Shaozong's legitimate brother. Do you not want to avenge Shaozong?" said Zhang Zichang, the left governor of Guangxi.

"this...."

The King of Tang was a little hesitant, but after hesitating for a moment, he turned the railway down: "If the emperor does not return, he is nearly fifty years old and his qi and blood have declined, so why should he take on the important task of supervising the country? If you really want to establish a supervising country, you can choose others in the royal family."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Secretary Guo Zhiqi, who had been silent, spoke: "Your Highness is the legitimate brother of Shaozong. If Your Highness does not supervise the country, who can supervise the country?"

The King of Tang was stunned and said, "There is King Lu who can be levied in Jinxia."

King Lu?

Everyone was shocked, why did the Tang King mention King Lu?

Zhou Shixiang's face also changed. Where did the King of Tang play this? Is he really unwilling to be a ruling country? Then King Lu is under the command of the king of the country. If he really supports King Lu, wouldn't he be a wedding dress for others?

Eunuch Pan, Hong's Office, Liu Tichun and others were also surprised. King Lu and Tang Tung Baji could not hit the same place, so why did Your Highness want King Lu to supervise the country?

Pan Hong and the others arrived in Wen Village yesterday, but the King of Tang did not see them, which made them unaware of what the King of Tang thought.

When everyone was surprised, Guo Zhiqi said slowly: "Although King Lu is also a relative vassal, he is too far from Shaozong. Today, I abandon my country. Looking at the country, only His Highness is qualified to be a governor."

When everyone heard this, they all agreed. However, the King of Tang ignored him and said firmly: "I said that I have no intention of governing the country. You don't have to mention this matter. I am tired, so I will go." After that, he got up and left with his hands behind his back. The Lady of Tang looked at Zhou Shixiang hesitantly, and bowed his head to follow the King of Tang.

"Your Highness!"

Everyone didn't want King Tang to leave after saying such a few words, and they were stunned for a moment and didn't know how to react.

Liao Ruixiang, Wang Zhangjun and others looked at Zhou Shixiang. Zhou Shixiang shook his head slightly and signaled everyone to go out first.

After everyone retreated from the Tang Palace, they whispered to each other about what the King of Tang said before, "You Dao is just a second persuasion. The King of Tang may not not want to be a state supervisor. He will definitely agree to the next time he persuades him. There are also people who look at the King of Tang, who seems to be unintentional in charge of the country. This matter may be ruined. Some people are worried that if the King of Tang is unwilling to regulate the country, then who can regulate the country? Could it be that if the King of Lu in Jinxia really wants to succeed?

Eunuch Hong and the Hong Ministry came forward to greet Guo Zhiqi and talked about the reaction of the King of Tang. The three of them had their own guesses, but they all made up their minds to come to the mansion to meet the King of Tang later. Wang Guangxing, Liu Tichun and others gathered together and also discussed this matter.

Zhou Shixiang didn't want to talk about this in front of so many people, so he ordered his guard to go back to Taishan first and wait two days later to persuade him. This would be considered as the three persuasions. Moreover, he was confused, not knowing whether what King Tang said was true or false. It was necessary to send someone to the King Tang to find out, otherwise he would have been busy for most of the day but found that the person involved was not cooperative at all, which would be a big trouble.

Just as I got on the horse, someone shouted and cursed behind me: "Okay, you King of Tang, you are so ungrateful. If you don't become the emperor, my grand commander will become the emperor!"

As soon as these words were said, the civil and military officials who had not yet dispersed were shocked when they heard this. Zhou Shixiang was almost scared to fall off his horse after hearing this.

Which turtle is causing trouble for me!

Zhou Shixiang was furious and turned his head to look, but found that the bald man was scolding Jiang He, and there were three people around him, one was Ge Yi, the other was Suna, and the other was Shao Chengguo.
