"Master Huang, since you already know everything and don't hide your identity, can you tell me the purpose of this trip?" Chen Zizhuang asked after each of them drank a few glasses of wine.

"Haha, Lord Chen, this is wrong with you."

"Why is it wrong? Please give me some advice."

"If I were you, I wouldn't ask a word, and I would secretly hand me over to your emperor, and he would ask him personally. The key is that I dare to say some things, but I'm afraid you won't listen."

"Master Huang, you may not know that I have retired."

“Resignation? Why?”

"There are two reasons. First, I see that the court officials from Su Guansheng are all stupid people, short-sighted and lack of planning, so Chen is unwilling to work with them. For example, if this victory in the South China Sea is based on my wishes, the army will take advantage of the victory to attack Zhaoqing and Wuzhou. Even if they cannot capture Master Huang alive, they will suffer severe damage and must retreat to Guangxi. From then on, the land in Guangdong will no longer be owned by Master Huang. However, the emperor did not listen to me and insisted on stationing troops in Sanshui, allowing Master Huang to retreat calmly. It's fine, after all, they are fighting against each other. However, Tong Yangjia of the Qing army, Li Chengdong has already

After quickly conquering Fujian, he would attack Guangdong soon. According to Chen's intention, he had to quickly move the strategic focus eastward, increase the guards of Huizhou and Chaozhou. In addition, he transferred the Lincha naval army to move eastward so as to respond on the side. However, Su Guansheng said that the Qing army had just conquered Fujian and could not attack Guangdong so quickly without three months of rest. Therefore, in the past few days, the civil and military officials and military officials were busy in the suburbs, offering sacrifices to the earth, and studying for their luck, and celebrating victory. Alas, Chen had no choice but to submit a memorial to retire, return to his hometown to train his arms, repair the city defense, and protect his hometown."

Chen Zizhuang knew that he had to tell his thoughts first, otherwise Zhu Youlang would not have revealed a single word.

When he heard Chen Zizhuang's knowledge, Zhu Youlang's heart moved: "Ji Sheng Gong, what is the second reason?"

"The second reason is related to Master Huang. When Emperor Longwu was arrested, I supported you to supervise the country. After all, you are the master of Master Wanli, and you even had a big fight with Su Guansheng for this. It is conceivable that Emperor Shaowu ascended the throne, how could I have a good life?" Chen Zizhuang replied.

Zhu Youlang knew about this past. At the beginning, the original owner of his body also asked him to invite Chen Zizhuang, but Chen Zizhuang did not respond.

"Then, why didn't you go to Zhaoqing at the beginning?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"To be honest, Mr. Huang, I have a deep conflict with Ding Kuichu. He is the chief minister and his power is growing. I can't stand his selfish and shameless face. Therefore, he is unwilling to obey the imperial edict." Chen Zizhuang replied.

"Ji Shenggong, since you treat each other with sincerity, I will repay you with sincerity. In my opinion, you have two different things, don't you want to listen?" Zhu Youlang asked.

He felt confident after hearing Chen Zizhuang's words: "This Chen Zizhuang was not comfortable in Shaowu Dynasty, and he was originally interested in me, Yongli, so he resigned. It seems that as long as I can show my strategic vision and talent, I will definitely take it to my use. Even if I can't, I can save my life."

"Please give me advice from Master Huang!" Chen Zizhuang bowed and said.

He always called Master Huang, but he did not change his name. On the one hand, "Master Huang" and "The Emperor" were respectful; on the other hand, he did not see Zhu Youlang's trump card, and he would not surrender until he did not see his loyalty.

"Okay, then I'll just say it. Let's talk about it first." Zhu Youlang stood up, put his hands on his back, and talked happily while walking.

"First, loyalty. Whether you are looking for Yongli, living in Shaowu, or resigning from office to return home to protect your hometown, it is all due to loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. This is very rare. On this occasion of storm, especially under the butcher knife of the Qing soldiers, few people can do this."

"Second, foresight and knowledge. We can offer a strategy to move forward quickly and force me to retreat into Guangxi, and we can also see that the Qing soldiers are about to come to the city, and our vision is indeed extraordinary."

When he heard that Zhu Youlang had such a high opinion of himself, Chen Zi grew up and knew what he knew about him, he quickly stood up and thanked him: "Master Huang praised him, but Chen was ashamed of him. I just don't know what Chen's shortcomings are in Master Huang's eyes?"

"I haven't fulfilled my loyalty, this is a short one." Zhu Youlang said.

"I haven't fulfilled my loyalty? What does this mean?" Chen Zizhuang asked in confusion.

"Since you know that I am the orthodox of the royal family, you should do your best to be loyal, how can you give up for Ding Kuichu? Is it because there are treacherous ministers in the court that loyal ministers are not loyal? Furthermore, since you become Shaowu as an official, you should do your best to assist. Emperor Shaowu will fight for a day without accepting loyal advice. You cannot let go because of different political views, or start a new job. Is this what the loyal ministers do? In short, there is a factor in their personality that allows themselves and forget the righteousness of the king and his subjects." Zhu Youlang said bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zizhuang immediately woke up and thought about it carefully, it was not a complete loyalty. In fact, Emperor Yongli still gave him face. He also served as a minister in Emperor Chongzhen and Emperor Hongguang. After the two emperors were in trouble, if he was a loyal minister, he should have committed suicide. Not only did he not commit suicide, he took refuge in the hometown and found a reason for himself, saying that it was "preserving a useful body to serve the wise king". Isn't it that he was robbing the bell? Can he bully the eyes of the world? Can he gain a good reputation in later history books?

Thinking of this, Chen Zizhuang sweated coldly!

"Master Huang, Chen has been taught! I dare to ask Master Huang, what is another weakness of Chen?"

“The pattern is too small.”

"Please make it clear by Mr. Huang."

"The Qing army is powerful, and neither the Ming army nor the trespass or the rebels are their opponents. When the Ming army is in danger, the Ming Dynasty must first strive to stabilize its position, and then recruit all the knowledgeable people in the world who are interested in the Ming Dynasty, and slowly plan to drive it to expel the Qing army and restore my Chinese clothes. You wrote to Alan's mother early to invite wolf soldiers to help the battle, which shows that you are not optimistic about the situation. However, relying solely on Jiujiang, a small place, do you expect to resist the Qing army? In addition to letting the people of Jiujiang follow you to make unnecessary sacrifices, what are the benefits for the great cause of anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Youlang said.

"What Mr. Huang said is very true, and his evaluation of Chen is also very pertinent. However, Chen knew that resisting the Qing army in Jiujiang was a mantis arm to block the chariot. However, when the nation was in danger, what I did was to keep a sense of righteousness in the world and to wait for future generations. If there was no such sense of righteousness in the world, wouldn't the great cause of rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty be even more like a flower in the water and a moon in the mirror?" Chen Zizhuang said passionately.

"This person is still not convinced." Zhu Youlang said in his heart: "It seems unlikely that if he doesn't bring out some real things, it will be impossible to make him surrender."
