"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Wang Chang saw the emperor lifting his legs and leaving, and hurriedly shouted.

"I have important official duties to do, so you can play."

"Then, I saw the time for meals. Let's go to office after meals."

"No, I don't care about the meal."

Zhu You didn't look back without looking back, and waved his hand and left the palace by himself.

"Hmph, three are missing and one, how can I play? The emperor always doesn't make people enjoy it!" Dai Yilan muttered in a low voice.

"Alan, aren't you brave? The emperor has so many major things to do, just take some time to accompany us. Are you still not satisfied?" Wang Chang scolded sternly.

"Oh, I understand." Dai Yilan didn't dare to talk back and closed her mouth obediently.

...

Zhu Youlang opened his heart and his steps became very light.

When he returned to Qinzheng Hall, it was getting late and Gu Yanwu had already left. Zhu Youlang asked Li Hong to light the red candles in his palm, and illuminated the hall clearly. He stood in front of the map and pondered.

Because he lacked the constraints of the territory psychologically, Zhu Youlang quickly thought about understanding the overall strategy again this time.

"Don't Jiergalang focus on attacking Jiangxi? Well, I'll let you attack. Not only will you attack, but I will also let you succeed in attacking and let you drive in. Jiujiang, Wuchang, and Ganzhou can all give up. Guangzhou cannot give up when necessary. As long as you end up eating up your big pile of vitality, then victory will be mine.

I think Yan'an can give up in the future. What can't be given up in Guangzhou? I have nothing at all. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. At worst, they can lose all their money before coming back. What's there to be afraid of?"

Zhu Youlang thought about it carefully for a while, picked up the wooden stick, tapped the place in Guangzhou on the map, and made his final decision.

...

After the cabinet ministers received news that the Qing army was about to invade a large amount, they were very nervous. Because of the decree of the meeting in three days, they each prepared many plans for inquiries. Unexpectedly, the next day, the emperor issued an order to cancel the meeting and issued three more decrees.

All orders to stop the attack, and the army stationed and stood on standby. Mu Tianbo, Li Chengdong, Chen Bowen, Shi Lang, Chen Zhongwu, Zhang Jiayu, He Wuzuo, Jin Shenghuan, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Ma Bao, Li Guo, He Tengjiao, Wang Huacheng, Jiao Lian, Bai Gui and others returned to Sui to report their duties before the fifth day of the June lunar month.

A command to Chen Jitai and Ma Jixiang closely monitor the movements of Qing soldiers in various units;

One of them ordered the military weapon battalion to speed up the production of grenades and landmines, and at the same time accelerate the research on steel guns.

After these three decrees, the emperor never mentioned this matter again, and the cabinet ministers were confused. They all thought: "What medicine did the emperor sell in his gourd? Even if the Qing soldiers had not gathered in Nanzhili, the preparations should be carried out, right? What should we not plan early on food, pay, weapons, public opinion? Is the emperor helpless or confident?"

Wu Bing raised this question during the dawn meeting. Zhu Youlang just ordered everyone to do their jobs step by step, handle all government affairs as usual, and promote all reforms as usual, and wait until the generals of the army and local governors arrive.

Since the emperor said this, it is obvious that he has made a decision and no one asks anymore.

...

On the 10th day of the fifth month, there were crowds outside the north gate of Guangzhou. Headed by Qu Shisi, Huang Zongxi and Guizhuang, hundreds of scholars and literati gathered here to welcome Qian Qianyi, the literary master.

Most of these scholars came to take the Imperial College Examination, and of course, some of them were unwilling to take the exam and had already achieved fame.

These people come here, and they are probably divided into three categories. One is simply to see Qian Tanhua, who is famous in China. Among these people, they also want to see Liu Rushi; the other is ambitious to see if they can talk to Qian Qianyi. If they worship him, they can become brothers with Qu Shisi and Guizhuang, and they will be appointed to have a prosperous career in the future. The other is to despise someone who despise Qian and want to criticize him in person to gain a reputation.

Among them, Huang Youlin and Ji Xuewen are the third type of people.

Huang Youlin and Ji Xuewen were banned by Wu Bing because they formed a "Winter Society" to oppose the new policy. They were naturally dissatisfied, but then the Wushishan victory came, and the emperor's prestige reached its peak. No one was willing to listen to them if they wanted to spread rumors and cause trouble. Later, the Guangning case occurred. The emperor used iron-blooded means to kill a group of corrupt officials and gentry involved in the case, making their "Winter Society" members scattered like birds and beasts. Only Huang and Ji were left with their determination to oppose the emperor's new policy.

Both of his families are large families and have thousands of acres of land in their industries. After the Guangning case, both of his families returned the land donated by the tenants without exception.

Whenever they think of the huge amount of money and food, they no longer enter his house like flowing water, and they never run out of time, and they want to overthrow the Yongli Dynasty overnight and return to yesterday's glory.

Today, I saw a great writer like Qian Qianyi coming to Guangzhou to worship Emperor Yongli. The two of them made up their minds and wanted to ask a few questions. Of course, the purpose was to humiliate Qian Qianyi and to make the world's people who wanted to imitate him deterred.

...

"Here, come..." Qu Shixiu saw dozens of big cars coming from the mountain road on the east side of Yuexiu Mountain from afar, and quickly met him in surprise. His junior brother Guizhuang followed closely.

Huang Zongxi's arrival to welcome him did not mean that the court was purely based on his admiration for Qian Qianyi's knowledge. As a senior official of the court, he could not move forward to greet him like Qu Shisi and Guizhuang, but just stood there waiting.

After a while, Qu Shixi and Guizhuang were hiding an old man with a wide-banded robe, medium-sized figure, rosy and energetic stalwart, and Huang Zongxi then met.

"Teacher, this is the Chief Censor and the Grand Secretary of the Dongge. Taichong, this is the teacher in the lower class."

When he came close, Qu Shixi hurriedly introduced the two of them.

"Mr. Muzhai, the Four Seas Sect Alliance has been around for more than 30 years. Now he is here in Guangzhou. Huang can ask for advice day and night. It is really a blessing in his life." Huang Zongxi bowed.

"Mr. Huang has been too rewarded, and Qian is ashamed. Master Huang's "Mingyi Waiwenlu" has clearly distinguished the cause and effect of the rise and fall of the world, and has a clear understanding of the truth. No one has been able to surpass him throughout history. Qian admired him very much. He had long longed to ask for advice from the master every day. Today, he would be enough to comfort his whole life." Qian Qianyi returned a tribute, with a smile on his face, and also highly praised Huang Zongxi's proud work.

When Huang Zongxi heard Qian Qianyi's words, his heart moved and felt something was wrong, but he didn't think of something wrong in a hurry. He just saw that although he was smiling, he seemed to have sorrow in his eyes, and his smile was not so happy and a bit fake.

When literati meet, they praise each other.

Huang Zongxi praised Qian Qianyi's knowledge, while Qian Qianyi in turn praised Huang Zongxi's political propositions.
