Zhu Youlang had already expected that Ding Kuichu would rebel and surrender to the enemy, but he did not expect Ding Kuichu to move so quickly.

Before Ma Jixiang's intelligence network could be opened, Ding Xu disguised himself as a businessman and secretly left the city.

From Zhaoqing to Huizhou, you must pass through Guangzhou City and to Guangzhou City, there are two roads, one through Sanshui and the other through the South China Sea. In these two places, Chen Jitai's army was stationed by Sanshui, and the South China Sea was the main battlefield of the just-concluded two-day war.

After Dingxu left the city, he did not hesitate and headed straight to the South China Sea. The reason is very simple. Sanshui is located at the key point from Zhaoqing to Guangzhou. It must be heavily guarded and the investigation must be strict. After the victory, the navy in the South China Sea should be quickly transferred to Sanshui, and the investigation will inevitably be relaxed accordingly.

Ding Xu's judgment was very correct. The choice to enter Huizhou through the South China Sea allowed him to easily get through the Shaowu Dynasty's investigation - of course, this is a later story.

...

"Your Majesty, Lord Chen, and the three generals Jiao Lian, Bai Gui and Bai Xing asked for an order!" Wang Kun came in and reported.

"Xuan!" Zhu Youlang spit out a word from his mouth, which was simple and powerful, very serious, but it felt very pleasant.

"Xuan Chen Bangyan, Jiao Lian, Bai Gui, Bai Xing enters the palace!" Wang Kun turned around and went out, standing at the entrance of the palace to deliver the order.

"My ministers Chen Bangyan, Jiao Lian, Bai Gui, Bai Xing saw you, Long live my emperor!"

As soon as Wang Kun finished speaking, four people came in at the gate of the hall, signed up one by one, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and bowed.

Zhu Youlang sat upright on the chair and watched the four people perform the ceremony quietly.

The four kowtowed three times, and they finished their salutes, waiting for the emperor to shout.

Zhu Youlang did not shout immediately, but looked at Jiao Lian, Bai Gui, and Bai Xing silently.

In his previous life, he was a chatterbox, a very soft-hearted person, and was very friendly to others, but now, he must get into the role as soon as possible. As an emperor, he still needs the necessary majesty.

And silence was the first killing weapon he used.

This silent silence often creates invisible pressure on people, and sometimes it is better than loud scolding. Especially for people who are kneeling, their eyes cannot look around, their heads cannot move, their eyes can look at the nose, and their noses can look at their hearts. If they don’t know the surrounding situation, they often think randomly and become more and more afraid.

Sure enough, Zhu Youlang's move was very effective. He neither shouted nor spoke, which made the four people kneeling.

Especially Chen Bangyan, it feels very strange.

When I saw the emperor in the past, the emperor was full of spring breeze and was very kind to him. He often ordered not to kneel down. Even if the minister insisted on kneeling down and bowing, he would shout quickly.

Over time, the three great scholars, Qu Shisi, Lu Daqi, and Li Yongmao, just knelt symbolically and stood up immediately as soon as the emperor stopped him. These three were pretty good, like Ding Kuichu, who relied on his status as the chief minister and had a great influence in the court. They basically bowed quickly, just like the rituals of the scholars and scholars.

Chen Bangyan said more than once that the emperor's behavior of being humble and respecting the wise and humble, that's okay? The king is not like a king, and the ministers are not like a minister. Over time, the court will be in chaos.

"Your Majesty is going to change it?" Chen Bangyan vaguely guessed Zhu Youlang's thoughts.

After being silent for about half a minute, Zhu Youlang saw Jiao Lian, Bai Gui, and Bai Xing's sideburns were already sweating, and thought to himself: "Okay, just pretend to be a little bit, don't pretend, after all, these four people have to rely on them now."

"My dear friends, please calm down." Zhu Youlang said calmly.

When the four of them heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief. They quickly stood up, lowered their eyebrows and stood on both sides with their eyes open. Chen Bangyan lived alone in the east, while Jiao Lian and Erbai stood to the west.

Zhu Youlang looked at Jiao Lian and nodded secretly.

I saw Jiao Lian in his thirties, with a fair and clean face, a thin waist and a short back, and his arms were longer than ordinary people. He looked like a person with high martial arts skills.

Looking at Erbai again, Zhu Youlang almost got happy.

Bai Gui is tall and has a pretty white skin, and looks a bit elegant, but his face is a bit long, similar to a horse's face.

Bai Xing is Bai Gui's younger brother, but his appearance and temperament are exactly the opposite of Bai Gui. Bai Xing is not tall but very solid, with big ears, dark skin, and a little fierce.

"Is this a real brother? I don't know how their parents gave birth to these two guys, like black and white impermanence." Zhu Youlang was secretly happy.

"Chen Aiqing, I ordered you to select soldiers. How is it?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers have been selected." Chen Bangyan replied.

"Oh? So fast? Let's go and take a look at these warriors." Zhu Youlang stood up.

"Your Majesty, I am ignorant, I have something unknown, I want to ask the emperor to solve the problem." Chen Bangyan said without moving, bowing his hand.

"Oh?" Zhu Youlang looked at Chen Bangyan, then looked at Jiao Lian and the others, and sat back on the chair: "Tell me."

"Emperor, I have been discussing with General Jiao for a long time, and I always feel that the emperor is too risky to go deep into the tiger's den. I have three questions: First, the emperor's words are firm, saying that the Qing army has arrived in Huizhou, and it will definitely attack Guangzhou on the 25th. All our actions are based on this judgment. If the news is inaccurate, all previous efforts will be wasted; Second, Chen Jitai and Lin Cha's 50,000 troops stationed in Sanshui, and no one can guarantee that they will not attack Zhaoqing, which is a big hidden danger; Third, assuming that everything is as expected by the emperor, we will eliminate it smoothly.

When the Qing army entered Guangzhou city, what about the monarch and ministers of Shaowu? Can they tolerate the emperor? Could it be that the emperor thought that if you personally take the arrows and stones and save them, they will definitely surrender to the emperor? If they do not surrender to the emperor, then there will be Qing army in the east, Chen Jitai in the west, and Shaowu imperial guards in the west, wouldn’t it be even more dangerous?" Chen Bangyan used his fingers and rushed out the three questions in his heart. Jiao Lian and Bai Gui nodded repeatedly, while Bai Xing looked at Zhu Youlang with a blank look on his face, and then at Chen Bangyan, as if he hadn’t figured out what was going on.

"Okay, you can think of these three points, which shows your thoughts in detail. I can answer you, first, the Qing army will definitely attack Guangzhou City on the 25th; second, Chen Jitai, although Lin Cha defeated Lin Jiading, it was mainly because Lin Jiading was too homesick and did not see through Lin Cha's plan to surrender. In my opinion, both of them are not men with deep minds and lofty eyes. They must still be immersed in the joy of victory and will not go west to Sanshui and one step; third, Chen Aiqing was very worried that if he didn't grasp it well, it would definitely put our army in a situation of being attacked from all sides. However, the combat effectiveness of the Qing soldiers was very strong, and I expected that they would soon defeat the Shaowu army's will to resist and eliminate most of the defenders. If we want to counterattack in all sides, the timing of the attack is very important, and it is not too late." Zhu Youlang replied.

"Your Majesty, why are you so sure of the actions of the Qing army and Chen Jitai? Is there any other information channel?" Chen Bangyan asked.

"Chen Aiqing, haven't you heard that you don't lose your ministers secretly, and your ministers secretly lose your body secretly. If you don't know what's secret, it will cause harm?" Zhu Youlang looked at Chen Bangyan unhappily and pulled away the article with awesomeness.
