Zhu Yousong was full of confidence at this time. After hearing this, he said indifferently: "Bad news? What bad news? Let me tell you."

"The whistle cavalry sent by the old slave also found out another piece of news, saying that the imperial envoy Li Banghua, sent by Chongzhen, had fled to Xuzhou, and there were thousands of people accompanying him to protect him. Even among them, there might be a prince..."

"Ah!" Zhu Yousong's face suddenly showed horror when he heard this, and he felt even more dizzy and dark. Before he could even feel a little proud, his incompetent nature was directly exposed.

"Brother-in-law, what should I do?"

Zhu Yousong didn't expect that there would be some imperial envoy and prince, so wouldn't his throne become a dream of spring and autumn?

However, Lu Jiude had no worries on his face, but instead smiled gloomyly and said:

"King, this matter has not been concluded yet. Li Banghua is true, but what prince is, I think it may not be true.

Moreover, how did that so-called imperial envoy team break through the many obstacles and arrive in Xuzhou? There are many doubts here!"

What Lu Jiude meant was obvious. When Zhu Yousong heard this, he immediately understood, and then he put away the terror on his face and looked like a vassal king.

The capital was trapped, the emperor and the empress died, the prince and the prince were all captured, but these were all news from the north. It doesn’t matter if the truth is true or false. If someone believes it, it means it is true. No one believes it, and it can become fake.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yousong felt a stream of passion surge into his heart. He leaned forward slightly and held Lu Jiude's hand tightly again, and his lips trembled violently with excitement:

"Then...then...this matter, this matter..."

Lu Jiude looked at Zhu Yousong's nervous and panic, and couldn't help but frown in his heart. This little prince is not as good as a eunuch in qi cultivation.

However, Lu Jiude didn't take Li Banghua seriously. In fact, among the news he found out, there was also a so-called prince-consor Zhou Shixian, but Li Banghua didn't even catch his eye, let alone a little prince-consor who was still unhealthy and had never heard of.

"King, as long as there is no will in the capital, these people are pretending to be thieves. That old guy Li Banghua may have already surrendered to the thief."

"Yes, what if there is?"

"Even if there is, it is still forged. The jade seal is in the hands of the thieves. What's the difficulty of forging a will?"

"This, this..." Zhu Yousong was so nervous that he kept swallowing his saliva, and had no idea for a moment.

Since Lu Jiude took him to the manor and learned about the other party's loyalty, he had thought that he would take some extraordinary measures when necessary.

After all, according to the rules of the succession of the throne of the Ming Dynasty, now that Emperor Chongzhen has died, the three princes have fallen into Li Zicheng's hands, and the first heir to the throne is Zhu Yousong.

But Zhu Yousong has no emperor's appearance at all, is cowardly, has no idea about anything, and has no power in his hands. Everything is now just Lu Jiude is in charge of it.

Seeing this, Lu Jiude immediately bowed his hand and persuaded in a sincere tone:

"King, this throne should be yours. You just took back your own things. Anyone who criticizes this is a remnant of the Donglin Party with ulterior motives.

Besides, the so-called imperial envoy convoy is probably pretending to be a thief. Otherwise, how could they break out from hundreds of thousands of bandits and travel thousands of miles? Unless they are heavenly soldiers and generals.

Now that the capital is in decline, Chongzhen and his three sons are missing again, the country is in danger, and the king must stand up and preside over the overall situation, otherwise the situation will be in chaos!”

Lu Jiude has been in Nanzhili for many years, so he naturally knew that the six ministries in Nanjing were all mediocre officials, and he didn't take the so-called Shi Kefa seriously. The nerd might not even be able to handle his move.

After hearing this, Zhu Yousong was still a little hesitant. In the Nanjing officialdom, the Donglin Party members were an extremely powerful force, and he could not have no scruples at all.

"Yes, those..."

"King." Seeing that Zhu Yousong was still hesitating, Lu Jiude said anxiously:

"The world is already different now. There is no knife in the pen and mouth. As long as the troops in Nanzhili are in our hands, even if they are real princes, what if they are?

The prince didn't have to be afraid of the civil servants in Nanjing who had only sluts but only pens. The soldiers and horses in our hands would not reason with them.

What's more, these hypocritical hypocrites always only speak reason when the truth stands with them. Where is this reason in the world?"

After hearing this, Zhu Yousong couldn't help but feel slightly moved and even nodded slightly. Lu Jiude is the Fengyang Army Supervisor and does have many soldiers in his hands.

In fact, Zhu Yousong and Lu Jiude did not believe in those civil officials, but those guys were never reasonable people. If they were reasonable, according to the ancestral system and the ritual system, as long as the Guangzong lineage was outstanding, no one could compare to Zhu Yousong.

"Brother-in-law, what are you going to do?" Zhu Yousong was completely moved, but he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Can the troops in our hands fight with the group of civil servants in Nanjing?"

"Don't worry, my master, the old slave has said hello to the several troops in the Nanzhili territory. Except for Lu Zhenfei, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo and others in the city, they have agreed to support the king ascend the throne." Lu Jiude said, smiling proudly, and then said:

"In a few days, the old slave will summon them all to Huai'an. As long as the king comes out and favors him a few words, they will definitely be willing to betray the prince and die after death. If Lu Zhenfei is not convinced, we will solve him at that time to eliminate future troubles.

Nanjing Jing Camp is just a virtual shell, with less than a thousand soldiers capable of fighting, and Shi Kefa is even more a pedantic scholar. There is no need to worry about the king. They are not the opponents of Lao Nu.”

"Can Lu Zhenfei fight for it together? He came to see Gu a while ago, and I think the person is not bad." Zhu Yousong thought about it and said, "After all, they are all their own people. If they really fight to the death, it will not end."

"Lu Zhenfei is indeed a person who is very wise and righteous. Moreover, if he can get the position of governor Huaiyang, he will thank the help of his old slave. This person is indeed available." Lu Jiude smiled and continued:

"Among those four generals, Gao Jie has the strongest force, Huang Degong is second to him. Both of them intend to surrender to the king. Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, one from Shandong, has not yet stood firm, and the other is not strong in the army. They should not dare to act rashly.

Moreover, many of the soldiers and horses under the two of them had done things under the old slave. Lao Nu had been suppressing bandits in Nanzhili for more than ten years, and there was still some thin side.

A few days later, when they all arrived in Huai'an, the old slave decided on this matter and they could not help but regret it. Lu Zhenfei had only thousands of local heroes. If he was stubborn, the old slave would have to deal with him with his own hands."

"Treat him with your own hands?" Zhu Yousong said in confusion.

"King, when we meet that day, we must not be neglected at all. Inside and outside Huai'an City, old slaves will deploy their own troops, restless and hinder our major affairs, no one can be kept." Lu Jiude's lips raised and he smiled sinisterly.

"But that's how..." Zhu Yousong originally wanted to ask what if someone refused, but now he heard it, he knew that he had extra thoughts. What is there to refuse to do about this kind of thing, and what is difficult to deal with?

Kill all those who should be killed!

"Don't worry, the old slave will definitely handle this matter properly and will never worry the king." Lu Jiude immediately issued a military order.

Almost all the soldiers and horses in Nanzhili were in their hands. Of course, he felt that he was sure to win, and naturally he would not take the so-called imperial envoy team seriously.

"Dadfather, I will leave all the matters in the world to you." Zhu Yousong smiled happily, even the claim had changed, and seemed to be sure to win:

"This world will eventually return to my hands..."

When Lu Jiude heard this, he knew that the little prince in front of him had made up his mind, so he could use all his strength. He immediately echoed: "If these thieves dare to ignore the legal system of their ancestors, then we will send them to see Taizu Taizong, and see if they dare to say more."

Lu Jiude was very clear about the situation in the Southern Zhili Region. As long as there was no strong external force interference, his plan would be successful. It depends on how powerful the so-called guards of hundreds of people had, and he could actually break directly from the capital to Nan Zhili.

This is what Lu Jiude did not tell Zhu Yousong. He had basically confirmed that the fleet was Chongzhen and Empress Zhou, and even set up an ambush on the only way to Suqian to Huai'an.
