The noisy hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Shihong. Uncle An Xiang on one side also realized something was wrong, looked at Fang Shihong on the other side, and gently put down the wine glass in his hand.

"Master Fang, what's the matter?" Cheng Yi, the Minister of Rites of Nanjing on the side, saw Fang Shihong sitting there blankly, his expression suddenly became complicated, and he asked slightly hesitantly.

Fang Shihong didn't speak. He waved his hand and motioned for all the irrelevant people to leave. When everyone left, Fang Shihong glanced at Liang Shiying beside him and ordered in a hoarse voice: "Go to the door! Let people guard the surroundings.

Don't let anyone get close to you."

"Yes, Master!" Nodding with a serious face, Liang Shiying strode out with a trace of worry on his face.

"Master Fang, what happened? You should speak!" Uncle An Xiang didn't have that much patience and asked urgently.

After picking up the wine glass in front of him and drinking the wine in one gulp, Fang Shihong finally stabilized his emotions. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Everyone, this is the news that just came from the capital!" He raised his hand as he spoke.

of stationery.

"Who was sent here?" Cheng Yi's face became serious and he asked with a slightly solemn voice.

Ever since the assassination of Zhou Jiamo and Wei Guogong, I have been prepared in my heart. Regardless of whether the thing is successful or not, it is no different from rebellion! Now Zhou Jiamo is seriously injured, and it has not been confirmed whether he is dead. Now it seems that the memorial has arrived in Beijing. However,

Negotiations have been reached in Luoyang, Prince Fu's crown prince is on his way, and major events have begun. At this time, the people sent by the imperial court have become the key to the matter.

"The Emperor is here in person! The Emperor has arrived in Nanjing!" Fang Shihong felt a bitter taste in his mouth at this time, and a sense of failure came into his heart.

Bang! The sound of the wine glass falling to the ground was very clear, but no one present paid attention to it. Fang Shihong's words had already calmed everyone down.

"So what if the Emperor is here? Now we have military power. Nanjing City is our world, and Prince Fu is already on the way. The situation has unfolded, so what if the Emperor is here?" A crazy look flashed across his face, Uncle An Xiang said

He said through gritted teeth.

No one takes Uncle An Xiang's words seriously. The emperor's name alone can overwhelm a group of people, and that is the emperor! No matter who comes from Nanjing, as long as he is killed, the situation is settled, and welcoming King Fu is the beginning of peace.

Yes! But now that Emperor Tianqi is here, the opposition will definitely become louder.

If people like me dare to kill the emperor, then even if the peace is successful, I am afraid that people like myself will be used to quell public anger. What's more, the emperor is so easy to kill? It can be said that a lot of secret chess was used to assassinate the imperial minister this time.

, people like myself have almost been put on the table.

"It's not just the emperor himself who is here. He is also accompanied by Sun Chuanting, the left governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion in Beijing, and there are also 23,000 elite soldiers from the battalion!" If what he just said shocked everyone, Fang Shihong's words shocked everyone.

Hit rock bottom!

Are there few soldiers in Nanjing? Quite a few! There are two to three hundred thousand troops, but how many of them can really fight? How many are willing to fight? I'm afraid that before the fighting starts, people like myself will be tied before the emperor.

Cui Fu, who had just dropped his wine glass on the ground, now had no blood on his face and his body began to shake. He was different from them. They had official positions and families. Emperor Tianqi might take it into consideration. But he

It’s different, I’m just a eunuch!

The guarding eunuch is powerful in all directions, but who will be chosen in front of him! He will not lose in front of the prince, but only facing the emperor, there is no chance at all. As the emperor's domestic slave, he can directly fight.

No one will plead for mercy!

Cui Fu thought very well at the beginning. Once the peace was successful, he would definitely be the eunuch of ceremony. Maybe he could also become another godfather, which was the coveted position of eunuchs. But now it is different. Emperor Tianqi has come

When you go to Nanjing, you may not look for these officials, but you will definitely look for yourself. The first person you look for is yourself!

The hall fell into a long-lasting silence, no one spoke, and you could hear a pin drop! The occasional sound of swallowing saliva sounded so harsh.

"Master Fang, think of a way quickly! We can't sit still and wait for death!" Cheng Yi's voice trembled violently, looking at Fang Shihong for help, and whispered.

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Fang Shihong, as if they had grasped the last straw!

"We can't let the emperor come to Nanjing! Together with Prince Fu, we can start to pacify Nanjing. No matter whether we can win or not, it is still a chance of survival. If it doesn't work, we can still rely on the Yangtze River to resist and establish a court!" Fang Shihong suddenly said

He felt that people like him were ridiculous, but he couldn't say it and pulled away.

Cheng Yi also had the same feeling. People like him were dazzled by the results! Rebellion was too simple! When Emperor Yongle was in Beijing, could the Yangtze River be defended? In the name of the emperor, the army

The combat power is also quite impressive, but what happened to Emperor Jianwen in the end?

There are too many examples of King Han and King Ning. Which one succeeded? People like you still want to rebel? The army in the north is so elite. Although I have not seen it with my own eyes, it is the army that just defeated the Jiannu and Tatars. Its elite can be

Just imagine!

Once Emperor Tianqi arrives in Nanjing, who among them can escape? What to do? What to do? Everyone is beating in their hearts, but no one has a good idea!

"Send someone to stop the emperor. We can't let the emperor arrive in Nanjing before Prince Fu arrives in Nanjing. Then we still have a glimmer of hope, otherwise everything will be over!" Fang Shihong glanced at everyone's faces and said through gritted teeth.

"I wonder if Mr. Fang has any good ideas?" Uncle An Xiang looked at Fang Shihong and asked with a gloomy face.

After pondering for a long time, Fang Shihong spoke again: "Choose capable personnel and assassinate him on the way! Regardless of success or failure, try to delay the emperor. King Fu sent people to urge Prince Fu to speed up! Once Prince Fu arrives in the capital,

Let’s start the fight!”

Everyone looked at each other and were all shocked by Fang Shihong's remarks. Cheng Yi said uneasily: "With countless guards around the emperor and elite soldiers by his side, how can it be possible to succeed?"

"The letter said that the emperor was taking the water route, and there were 5,000 Beijing troops escorting him on both sides of the strait. The remaining 15,000 people had already come to Nanjing. As long as something happened to the emperor on the way, it would not only buy us time, but also Beijing

It will definitely be chaotic for a while! Whatever we do, we have enough time!" Fang Shihong said in a deep voice with a crazy look in his eyes.

"But how to do it? I'm afraid it won't be easy!" Uncle An Xiang shook his head and said with a sad face.

Nodding, Fang Shihong said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "It's not easy. There are a lot of maritime businesses in your family. Isn't it difficult to find some people with good water skills? Attack the fleet at night in the river and go straight to the emperor.

As long as there is a fire, the whole dragon boat will turn into ashes! The people and horses on the shore are elite, but the water far away cannot quench the thirst of the near!" At first, it was just self-comfort, but the more Fang Shihong talked about it, the more feasible it became.

Once Emperor Tianqi is killed, there will definitely be chaos! People like myself can take advantage of the situation. Even if they fail to succeed, they will definitely be able to protect themselves! As for settling accounts in the future, I don’t have to worry about so much now! Take one step at a time and see what happens.

There is no time to think.

His eyes swept over everyone's faces, and Fang Shihong said seriously: "At this time, I hope you will work together and not have any second thoughts, otherwise don't blame Fang for being ruthless! When we go back to look for people, I will inquire about the emperor's itinerary. Once

After confirmation, the troops will set off!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Fang, we will do our best! There are many people doing maritime business here, and there must be a lot of people who have firearms at home. Bring all you can, and don't hide them!" Cheng Yi nodded!

He nodded, turned to the side and said to Uncle An Xiang: "Uncle An Xiang, see if you can bring out some strong crossbows and hard bows, preferably a few tiger cannons, they must be foolproof!"

Nodding, Uncle An Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll get ready when I get back! Let me tell you when we start taking action, I have three hundred soldiers under my command, all of them are my confidants, send them all out!"

After making the decision, everyone seemed to have found the direction and nodded. There was no way to hold the celebration party, so everyone dispersed and went to prepare separately.

In the Duke of Wei's Mansion, Duke Wei, who had been declared bedridden, was sitting in front of the table. There were more than a dozen dishes on the table, all meat, and a pot of 20-year-old daughter's red wine was placed on one side. There was no need for a cup.

Eat a bite of meat and take a sip of wine!

Opposite him, Mu Tianbo, the prince of the Duke of Guizhou, was sitting there with a smile on his face. He put his chopsticks on the table and didn't move a mouthful. He only took a sip of wine from time to time.

"It makes me laugh, my nephew. I can't live without wine and meat on weekdays, but these days I've been suffocating myself to death!" Putting down the wine jar in his hand, Wei Guogong said with a smile.

"The Duke of Guo has a true nature. Our martial arts family does not have so many false etiquettes. Eating meat and drinking heavily are the true qualities of a man. The Duke of Guo is not pretentious at all. This is the true nature of a man!" Mu Tianbo shook his head.

He shook his head and said with a smile.

Pointing at Mu Tianbo, Wei Guogong said with a smile: "Whatever words come into my nephew's mouth, they sound so pleasant to my ears. They are much better than my sons!"

"The Duke of Guo is too modest. All the brothers are outstanding among the younger generation. The Duke of Guo has a strict family style and has a good way of educating his children. This is what my nephew has seen with his own eyes!" Mu Tianbo waved his hand quickly, with a sincere expression on his face.

said.

Just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly sounded outside, saying: "Master, there is news from the capital!"
