Zhu Yi looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him with hesitation in his eyes and asked.
"Trust? There's no such thing as trust."
Zhu Cixiang took a sip of tea and calmly said to Zhu Yi who was standing aside: "It's just that you don't need to be suspicious of people. It's just that you don't doubt the people you employ. What's more, aren't there you guys?"
As he spoke, Zhu Cixiang looked at Zhu Yi in front of him with a smile on his face and said.
"Understood! Your Highness!"
Zhu nodded.
After saying that, Zhu Yi slowly disappeared into the shadows.
Zhu Cixiang continued to read the memorials on his desk. There were still a lot of military and political matters in the north.
Zhu Cixi dared to say that he had never worked so hard in his previous life.
There is no way, the Donggong system is still under construction.
There are still too few talents under my command!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang secretly sighed in his heart.
Otherwise, he would not be like a newly surrendered intruder. He actually made him the prefect of Yanzhou Prefecture. You know, the entire East Palace now occupies Shandong.
Yanzhou Mansion is also an extremely important place. It feels a bit strange to let a surrendered general occupy Yanzhou Mansion.
However, I can’t care about so much!
Zhu Cihong shook his head and continued to look at the memorial in front of him.
At this time, Song Xiance walked out of the prince's room in a daze.
There was a hint of emotion in his eyes, and he didn't know what to say.
He always felt that the Crown Prince in front of him had a feeling of being completely superior to ordinary people, but yet integrated into ordinary people, but he didn't know how to describe this feeling in words.
What should I say?
Detached?
A trace of hesitation flashed in Song Xiance's eyes.
Perhaps, the word detachment is not so appropriate, but it seems to be extremely ordinary.
What a detachment!
There was a hint of emotion in Song Xiance's eyes.
Is this a hexagram warning?
It was really the only time in his life that he had such a hexagram. Song Xiance really didn't know how to describe this feeling.
With a slightly dazed expression, Song Xiance walked to the reception room of the intruder envoy nearby.
"Military advisor, you are back!"
"military adviser!"
Although the intruder soldiers around them were somewhat welcoming in tone, they looked at Song Xiance with some surprise and uncertainty. No one knew what Song Xiance said to the Crown Prince when he entered Zhu Cixiang's room.
.
Song Xiance also noticed the change in the eyes of the soldiers around him, with a faint smile in his eyes.
"Military advisor, what did you say to His Highness the Crown Prince?"
At this time, Li Chuang looked at Song Xiance in front of him and asked.
His eyes were full of distrust. King Chuang had told him before he came that he must keep an eye on Song Xiance.
At first, he thought there was no need for this, but he didn't expect that the military advisor would meet the Ming Prince alone.
This made Li Chuang suddenly highly concentrated. With a hint of vigilance in his eyes, he looked at Song Xiance in front of him and said.
Song Xiance saw the vigilance in Li Chuang's eyes. He smiled slightly, looked at Li Chuang in front of him and said, "General Li, I have decided to leave King Chuang's command! I will join His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"What???"
Li Chuang's expression suddenly changed.
"Military advisor, you!"
"Military advisor, what do you mean??"
The expressions of the envoys around him suddenly changed, and they looked at Song Xiance in front of them with disbelief in their eyes and asked.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the master of my destiny! Some things must be determined by fate! I once got together with King Chuang by fate, and now it is time for us to part ways!"
Song Xiance looked at the people in front of him with a smile on his face.
Li Chuang's expression changed for a while.
"Okay! I'm leaving first!"
After saying this, Song Xiance showed a smile on his face and turned to leave.
Looking at Song Xiance's back, the other envoys on the side looked at Li Chuang in front of them.
"General Li, what should we do now!"
"Yes, General Li, now that the military advisor has left, should we continue this negotiation?"
The envoys around them looked at General Li in front of them with blank expressions on their faces.
"Don't worry!"
Li Chuang's expression changed for a while, his eyes filled with resentment when he looked at Song Xiance, and he said to the envoys around him.
"Let's inform King Chuang first! Let's see what King Chuang thinks!"
With that said, Li Chuang ordered a messenger and quickly left Qingzhou Mansion.
Soon, Li Zicheng in Beijing received the news.
"What????"
Li Zicheng's face became extremely ugly. He asked the messenger in front of him with an ugly face: "Song Xiance really defected??? He took refuge with the Ming Prince???"
"Yes! Your Majesty, that Song Xiance even came to our room to talk to us!"
The messenger's face didn't look good either, and he said to Li Zicheng in front of him.
After hearing the words of the messenger, Niu Jinxing on the side said to Li Zicheng in front of him: "Your Majesty! What I said is right! This Song Xiance has long wanted to defect! Now it's just that his wish has come true.
That’s all!”
"Hmph! Thank you for giving him such a high status in the army! Such a wolf-hearted person! I was blind before!"
Li Zicheng said with an ugly expression.
Niu Jinxing on the side had a smile on his face. He looked at Li Zicheng in front of him and said: "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is not Song Xiance, but about this negotiation. Should we talk about it? How to talk about it? Who should we let go?
talk?"
Niu Jinxing pondered for a moment, looked at Li Zicheng in front of him and said.
"What are you talking about?? That Song Xiance defected, and the Ming Crown Prince's conditions were so high, he actually asked us to pay half of the Liao salary. If I agree to this, where will I put it in the face of the king??"
Li Zicheng looked at Niu Jinxing in front of him with an ugly expression and said.
Niu Jinxing pondered for a moment, looked at Li Zicheng in front of him and said: "Your Majesty, although that Song Xiance has defected, some of what he said still makes sense.
If Shanhaiguan is breached, we will definitely be greeted by the Manchus. Do you think we can defend the city of Beijing? If Shanhaiguan cannot be defended, then we cannot defend the city of Beijing either!"
“What should I do??”
Li Zicheng asked Niu Jinxing in front of him with a somewhat ugly expression.
“Do we really have to agree to his statement??”
Li Zicheng's face still didn't look very good.
"Of course we won't provide salary! Otherwise, where will our Dashun's face be? However, we can find another way!"
"what way?"
Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and looked at Niu Jinxing in front of him and asked curiously.
