As a temporary capital, the temporary residence of the orthodox Han emperors, Fuzhou, from high officials to pawns, did not have the awareness of being in the capital.

In their eyes, the most important thing is the vast ocean and endless wealth.

I just caught a young man in Fuzhou and asked about his ambitions. I was probably lit up in my eyes and answered you: I want to do a big businessman, earn the most money, and marry the best-looking woman.

The only people in this city who care about national affairs are now gathered in the palace for morning court.

Emperor Longwu sat upright on the dragon throne, feeling complicated. Even when he was in a state of unstable mood, he tried hard to set off to prevent himself from losing the dignity of the emperor.

There were endless noises in the hall, and all the ministers were making generous speeches to denounce Hou Xuanyan's killing of He Tengjiao.

He Tengjiao's reputation was destined to make many people in the court aggrieved him. Zhu Youjian was inclined to Hou Xuan's actions from the bottom of his heart. After all, they had talked to him in advance in the palace and had told him in advance. He Tengjiao tried every means to shirk his responsibilities and refused to welcome him out of Fuzhou, which also sowed the seeds of hatred in Zhu Youjian's heart.

Huang Zongzhou, the chief assistant of the dynasty, was so angry that he was straightened up, staring and cursing: "Hou Xuan is a wolf-like ambition. He Tengjiao is the pillar of the country, governor of Huguang's military and political affairs, blocking the rebel Zhang Xianzhong in the west, and resisting the Jiannu in Manchuria in the north. Such a pillar of the country was actually killed by him by Hou Xuan."

Zhu Youjian lowered his tone, coughed lightly, and said, "He Tengjiao did not send a single army to rescue Jingzhou, Du Yinxi was in danger..."

Before Zhu Youjian finished speaking, Huang Zongzhou blew his beard and glared, interrupting the emperor and roared almost: "Your Majesty, Hou Xuanyan led a group of soldiers to kill the ministers with tricks. How can Your Majesty exonerate him?"

There were chaos in the court, and people began to allude to the emperor. Zhu Youjian leaned weakly on the dragon throne, looking at the chaos in the court, and was at a loss for a moment.

These are the ministers I rely on, these are my court officials?

Huang Zongzhou saw that the emperor was unable to refute, and became even more excited. He stroked his beard, spitted and cursed.

At this time, a small eunuch outside the hall shouted loudly: "Duke Pingguo entered the court."

The chaotic hall suddenly became quiet, and a burly figure walked into the court as if no one was around. He bowed to the dragon chaise and greeted him. Zhu Youjian quickly straightened his back and said, "Duke Pingguo is exempt from gifts."

Zheng Zhilong looked around for a while, looked disdainful and said, "Just just now, I heard the noise in the hall. Can you save your Majesty some attention? What kind of roaring at the court is? Lao Zheng is a rough man. Everyone knows the etiquette in front of the hall. Everyone is well-read in poetry and books, why are they so rude?"

Huang Zongzhou snorted coldly. He despised Zheng Zhilong from the bottom of his heart, but in front of Zheng Zhilong, he did not dare to really scold him. The spirit of roaring at the emperor had long disappeared. This cold snorkeling was also considered as the Chief Supporter Huang, who thought he was very backbone.

Zhu Youjian's face relaxed. Zheng Zhilong, who had always been disgusting, looked a little pleasant today. He asked with a smile: "Duke Pingguo, I am discussing Huguang with all my dear friends. What are your opinions?"

Zheng Zhilong bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Du Yinxi from Huguang is a man. He dares to attack Jingzhou in the pile of Tartars. I think such a person should be rewarded."

Zhu Youjian coughed lightly and said, "What about He Tengjiao and Hou Xuanyan?"

Zheng Zhilong looked stunned and said, "He Tengjiao is the Governor of Huguang, so he is naturally involved in Huguang's affairs. But Hou Xuanyan is the Governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. What does Huguang have to do with him?"

Zhu Youjian cursed in his heart and said patiently: "Hou Xuanyan led his army to support Du Yinxi in Jingzhou and has led his troops to Huguang for half a month."

Zheng Zhilong stroked his forehead and said, "Oh, I am dedicated to training soldiers for Your Majesty. I forgot to eat and sleep. I didn't listen to things outside the window. I don't know such a big thing, damn it, damn it."

Zhu Youjian suppressed his anger and ignored him. An official promoted by Zheng Zhilong in the court hurriedly said with a flattering smile: "The Duke of the State does not know anything. Hou Xuanyan sent someone to deceive He Tengjiao out of Changsha City and slashed it with one knife..."

Zheng Zhilong's rough face, his eyes flashed with cunning, and he asked in surprise: "Hou Xuanyan He Tengjiao is both a minister of the country, how can he kill each other?"

Huang Zongzhou said in a deep voice, "Hou Xuanyan is a child from Jiading. He has always been arrogant and rude to occupy the city of the Ming Dynasty in the troubled times. In order to seize Huguang, he killed his colleagues. What's so strange about it?"

Zheng Zhilong laughed and turned to Huang Zongzhou and said, "Ge Lao Huang, I heard that you quarreled every day in the court for three days. I really admire you. If I were asked to shout for three days, my voice would really not be able to stand it. Since Hou Xuan is so ruthless, you can't scold him in Fuzhou, why not send troops to wipe him out?"

Huang Zongzhou's eyes lit up and he said, "Duke Pingguo is willing to send troops?" They did shout in the court for three days, and Zheng Zhilong spoke in sarcasm, and Huang Zongzhou couldn't even care about it.

Zheng Zhilong shook his head quickly, his huge head was like a rattle, and said, "Ge Lao is joking. My subordinates are all sea peddlers and pawns. It's okay to let them work hard. Wouldn't you take out a war and die? Huang Ge Lao is highly respected, so why don't you lead troops to Huguang? The righteous army will be surrendered along the way. Huang Ge Lao must seize the time, and take advantage of Hou Xuanyan's presence in Huguang, and it will be easy to wipe out. When he returns to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who can still cure him?"

Zhu Youjian felt nervous and said hurriedly: "No!"

Huang Zongzhou had a tampered with his neck, his face turned red, and he said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Everyone in the world is afraid of Hou Xuanyan, but I, Huang Zongzhou, are not afraid of him! I will lead my troops out of Fujian and swear to capture Hou Xuanyan and leave it to Your Majesty for disposal."

Zhu Youjian was about to refute, but Zheng Zhilong said directly: "How might it be! Master Huang Ge is worthy of being the chief minister of the cabinet. He can not only scold but also fight. He is really a talent. Your Majesty is unstoppable. Hou Xuanyan killed the minister without authorization and brought him back to Fuzhou for inquiries. If he had no intention of rebelling, he would definitely come to Fuzhou to explain the whole story to Your Majesty himself."

The anger on Zhu Youjian's face could not be concealed. He stood up and was about to scold him. Zheng Zhilong said with a straight look and said with a resentment: "This matter is decided. Whoever dares to object is to despise the court and despise His Majesty."

Zhu Youjian clenched his fists tightly, looked at Zheng Zhilong, and finally sat on the dragon throne weakly. He had already seen Zheng Zhilong's purpose clearly, and what was ridiculous was that Huang Zongzhou and others were still excited and generous there.

Zheng Zhilong turned around and left. Without waiting for the eunuch to call for retreat, he left the palace gate. His third brother stepped forward and smiled, "Brother, you have a good method. You can trick the emperor into getting rid of us in one sentence. All the old people you want to support and promote will be killed. I think who else can the emperor rely on?"

"There are too many people in Fuzhou that are annoying. Unfortunately, the emperor didn't open his eyes and promoted a group of idiots, haha."
