Li Dingguo shook his head helplessly and looked solemn: "If the Grand Secretary comes to test me, there is no need to do it. Not to mention that this is a way to dig a grave. Even if it is not, I will not do it, and it will definitely not be possible if it does."

Wu Zhenyu was slightly stunned and didn't know how to answer. In fact, he didn't understand this truth. The United States was not a feudal dynasty, and it did not exist when he used the emperor to command the princes. After arresting Li Mingxun, the Senate could immediately find another Zhang Mingxun and Liu Mingxun. He just needed to make Li Mingxun's son the new head of state, and the next one was in charge of the United States as a consul.

This will eventually lead to the complete abolition of the alliance between China and Ming Dynasty. This is unbearable for Zhu Ming, but it is just a scratching point for the United States. The United States is no longer a community stage. As a maritime overlord and has a population of 6 million, the United States only needs to abandon a few fortresses along the coast to live its own life. The one who least wants to see the allies split was Li Dingguo. Because without the support of the United States, the Qing Dynasty's first goal was Guangdong and Guangxi.

Wu Zhenyu sighed: "The state affairs are difficult, and the Ming Dynasty needs a pillar of heaven. Your Highness, the southwest half, depends on you."

Li Dingguo shook his head slightly and said, "What's the matter? Please tell me that the Grand Secretary clearly. I am a martial artist. I can't guess it thoroughly when I play the puzzle like this."

Wu Zhenyu lowered his voice and said, "The emperor intends to secretly entrust His Highness to enter Guizhou to serve the king and rescue the emperor!"

"Secret edict? Is there an edict?" Li Dingguo frowned slightly and said immediately.

Wu Zhenyu took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Dingguo. When Dingguo opened it, he looked shocked and wrote a letter: I hope I will not have the etiquette of a minister. The treacherous minister Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou were so angry that I could not sleep or eat. I listened to the Jin vassal of Anlong. Qiong vassal regained Guangdong and Guangxi, protected the loyalty of the country, and spread the army for a long time. Those who escaped from danger must be the King of Jin Dingguo. The Qin and Jin vassals had already had a rift. I wanted to write a secret imperial edict and sent an official to Guangzhou to summon Dingguo to protect him. If you have the opportunity to go, you should secretly plan this for me.

However, this was not a secret edict from the emperor, but a secret letter written by the emperor on thin silk to Grand Secretary Wu Zhenyu and Wen Anzhi, which was not shy about the words on it. Obviously, Wu Zhenyu did not care about etiquette in order to win the trust of Li Dingguo.

After seeing this, Li Dingguo believed it a little. He thought for a moment and asked, "What does the emperor want after the matter is done?"

This is considered a slight indirect way. In fact, what Li Dingguo meant is that even if I rescue you from Anlong Mansion? The current situation can never allow civil servants to take power, and the two vassals will not be willing to do so. The difference is that it is just that Anlong is a puppet or Zhaoqing is a puppet, or a puppet of Sun Kewang or a puppet of Li Dingguo.

Wu Zhenyu didn't understand what Li Dingguo meant, and said immediately: "After the matter is completed, all the soldiers and horses in the world will be the commander of His Highness, and His Highness will make a decision on the military and national affairs in one sentence!"

"This...why is this?" Li Dingguo didn't believe it even more. Zhu Ming had never trusted the United States. He had a good relationship with Li Mingxun and everyone knew about it. How could Yongli be his puppet? When the Han vassals entered Guangdong, he would rather go to Yunnan than to Qiongzhou.

Wu Zhenyu sighed: "Your Highness doesn't know that Sun Kewang is already planning to usurp the throne and become independent!"

"Take it seriously?" Li Dingguo asked in surprise.

"Take it seriously!" Wu Zhenyu answered without hesitation.

Li Dingguo knew that Sun Kewang was self-reliant. When the four brothers were in charge of the military affairs of the Xiying together, Sun Kewang called himself the king. Now in the southwest, officials of Zhu Ming all called him the king. However, for the great cause of anti-Qing, the four brothers finally discussed and supported Zhu Ming together to avoid triggering the orthodox dispute in the southwest and give the Qing Dynasty an opportunity to take advantage of it. But now, why is Sun Kewang having such ambition that goes against the overall situation? It is really inappropriate.

Li Dingguo didn't know that Sun Kewang resisted Qing and restored Ming Dynasty, and was true for usurping the throne. Among the four generals in the past, Ainengqi had already died in battle. Sun Kewang hoped to suppress Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu to support him to establish himself as emperor. Unfortunately, these two people understood the righteousness and refused to obey. Sun Kewang was afraid of being afraid to mention it again. However, Li Dingguo first fell into the name of the king, and then obtained the vassal of Guangdong and Guangxi. Liu Wenxiu also came to Yunnan to help him, and was completely out of his control. Moreover, the success of Li Dingguo two posed a huge challenge to Sun Kewang's control in the Xiying. Sun Kewang could become the leader of the Xiying, first relying on his identity as the eldest son of Zhang Xianzhong, and then relying on his ability to govern and manage. However, these could not cover up his military achievements as inferior to Li Dingguo.

No matter how good the governance ability is, the Yunnan and Guizhou provinces are not as good as half of Guangdong provinces. Li Dingguo won one after another and already has rich vassals and powerful allies. The generals of the Xiying will sooner or later join their commands. Sun Kewang knew this and had to take risks. Before the Xiying was dispersed, the army was still there, and he was the first to proclaim himself emperor and win over the Xiying lineage.

An Long's Yongli court knew this and asked for help from Li Dingguo. If Sun Kewang became emperor, the first person to die would be Yongli. Although he was trapped in the King of Jin, it was better than death.

After the Battle of Guangdong and Guangxi, Yongli began to plan to ask for help from Li Dingguo. In fact, the emperor knew about the situation where Li Dingguo was very close to the United States, but Yongli had no choice. Although Zheng Chenggong was more reliable than Li Dingguo, he was far southeast and could not serve the king at all. Among the two feudals of Qiong and Jin, Dingguo was still more trustworthy.

There is no doubt that Sun Kewang has planned to usurp the throne from the beginning and proclaim himself emperor. In addition to the crisis, the two men of Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were prevented. Sun Kewang has claimed to be the king of Qin from the beginning. His official Wen Qiben was called the king of the country. He established six ministries in Guiyang, and his administration was self-dedicated. At most, he used such chronological methods as a certain year of Yongli, and actually had already formed his own country.

When Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu actually formed an alliance with the United States, and the Qing Dynasty was unable to attack the southwest because of the defeat of Guangdong and Guangxi. Sun Kewang thought that the time for becoming emperor had come, and it was difficult to have such a good opportunity in the future. Therefore, he even instructed his confidants to support him in ascend the throne. His Minister of War even advocated that the Ming Dynasty had ended, and things could not be done. However, Yu Xuan, the editor of the court, had already "determined the emperor, set the court ceremony, and said that the emperor's star was clear at the Jingdu", and directly persuaded the Secretary of the State to advance.

The same is true in the court of An Long Yongli. The eunuch Pang Tianshou and the Jinyiwei Ma Jixiang believed that the world's general situation had returned to the King of Qin. The two needed to accept it early, thinking that they were in another log. They also became sworn brothers with An Long's Titang official Zhang Yingke, and told Zhang Yingke that "the King of Qin has a great merit and is admired by the world. Today, the destiny of heaven is in Qin. If the destiny of heaven is not done by others, we want to persuade Yongli to abdicate the King of Qin." Ma Jixiang and the other two have prepared for the change of the sect.

After hearing Wu Zhenyu's words, Li Dingguo was furious and punched the table and shouted: "What a wolf-like ambitious man. The great cause of anti-Qing has just improved this time, and Sun Kewang took the rebellion. And Ma Jixiang is a real traitor. I have to cut him into flesh-filled mud!"

As he said that, he was going to draw his sword and start walking. Wu Zhenyu hurriedly blocked it with his body and said, "Your Highness thinks twice. If you kill Ma Jixiang this time, wouldn't you break up with Sun Kewang? The southwest will be in chaos!"

Li Dingguo was not angry about Sun Kewang's attempt to proclaim himself emperor, but thought that the time he chose was wrong. Now the nation is in a dilemma, and it is when the brothers fight against their insults outside the wall. At this time, proclaiming himself will inevitably lead to civil strife, which directly leads to the loss of the situation of the resistance to the Qing Dynasty that he finally obtained.

But what these two people didn't know was that Sun Kewang had actually reached the last step. He asked Fang Yuxuan to plan the Zen ceremony and had "set the rituals and set up the Taimiao, and enjoy the three lords of the temple: Emperor Taizu Gao, the lord of the middle, Zhang Xianzhong, the lord of the right, and Sun Kewang's grandfather." The country's name was Hou Ming. Ten months ago, Sun Kewang personally led his army to Kunming to ascend the throne and become emperor, but heavy rains all the way, and it was impossible to make a move. Sun Kewang was shocked and thought that God would not allow it. Later, the United States sent envoys to come. Sun Kewang thought his fortune was exposed and hurried back to Guizhou, which avoided the farce of wearing a yellow robe.

(The real history is that Sun Kewang arrived in Kunming. The day he ascended the throne was raining heavily and the ceremony was not held. Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were blocked and did not really ascend the throne)

"Hey, I have to spare that dog for the time being!" Li Dingguo said angrily, holding his sword aside and sitting on the chair, feeling depressed, and didn't say anything for a long time, just sighing.

Wu Zhenyu asked carefully: "Your Highness has the will of a royal family, so it is better to send troops to Anlong, rescue the emperor first, and resettle Guangzhou or Zhaoqing. At that time, you can rebel and stop losses in Guizhou."

Li Dingguo didn't understand this truth. Let's not talk about the ability of Emperor Yongli. As long as he exists for a day, the anti-Qing armed forces scattered all over the world will be one mind. If Yongli dies, especially the whole family will be killed, the scattered all over the world will not know how many people proclaim themselves emperors or how many people supervise the country. At that time, the plan to unite the heroes of the world and fight against the Qing Dynasty will be completely over. Li Dingguo thought about it and said, "This matter should still be discussed with the Prime Minister of the Eastern Bandit, which is a sure victory."

Wu Zhenyu panicked: "This...it's not necessary. Dongfan is a foreign country, and even the relatives are forced to do so. How can we keep the matter of keeping the emperor and moving your way!"

Li Dingguo scolded: "Don't be confused. The emperor's move is related to the great cause of the Qing Dynasty. How can we take risks? Don't say that my brother is a current national sage. Even if he wants his elite troops to help him, he must be honest with him. Besides, his brother is the son-in-law of the emperor. Even if he is a foreigner, he should also be concerned about the kindness of his husband and wife, so how can he not let him know."

"Your Highness, please listen to what the emperor said!" Wu Zhenyu hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the king of the Eastern Band has always been able to respond to his requests and will win. In the battle between Guangdong and Guangxi, he will cut off our Ming Chaozhou. I don't know what territory should the Eastern Band have to protect the royal family? In order to recover Guangdong and Guangxi, he surrendered his son to form a charity with him. Later, he formed an alliance to fight. He was called brothers, but he was actually subordinate. He was probably a last resort. Now it is a good opportunity for heaven. If Your Highness saves the emperor, kills the rebels, and subdues the generals of the Western Camp, then Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong and Guangxi will be owned by Your Highness, and 200,000 elite soldiers and powerful generals, and great things are expected. How can you still rely on others to do it!"

Only then did Li Dingguo understand what Wu Zhenyu came here. This guy not only wanted to rescue Yongli from Sun Kewang, but also wanted to take the opportunity to complete the integration of the various factions of the Xiying sects, creating a heavy army group that spans several provinces and dominates the southwest. At that time, he could get rid of the United States and complete the great cause in one fell swoop.

But what Wu Zhenyu didn't know was that in the original history, Li Dingguo did do it. He expelled Sun Kewang, rescued the Emperor Yongli, and mastered the overall situation in the southwest. However, Li Dingguo did not complete the great cause of anti-Qing. He first suspected Liu Wenxiu, which led to Liu Wenxiu's death in depression. Then it collapsed in the large-scale attack organized by the Qing Dynasty. There were many reasons for the destruction of the Southern Ming led by Dingguo. However, it is undeniable that Dingguo was a good commander, but not a good politician. In terms of political skills, he seemed too immature and was even worse than Sun Kewang in conspiracy and intrigues. He was too straightforward and was naturally not suitable for being a politician.

But no matter what, Li Dingguo in front of him was undergoing a huge test. On the one hand, it was Li Mingxun's sincere treatment, and on the other hand, it was the temptation of Xiongxi's dominance of the Southwest and taking charge of the South Ming Dynasty. Li Dingguo was stunned.

"You go first, I...I am tired." Li Dingguo sat on the chair with regret and said naively.

Wu Zhenyu was unwilling to accept it. He leaned over and said, "Your Highness King of Jin, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you go wrong, the Jin vassals and the Ming Dynasty will never be restored."

Li Dingguo was immediately furious. He grabbed Wu Zhenyu's chest, pulled it in front of him, and said word by word: "Let me listen to me, Sun Kewang wins, Zhu Ming will perish, the Qing Dynasty wins, Zhu Ming will perish. If I lead troops to restore the world, Zhu Ming will perish! Don't think that I am a foolish and loyal minister. Let me tell you that the Ming generals I killed are no less than those who killed Tartars!"

Wu Zhenyu said with a serious expression and without retreating: "How can I not understand this principle? But no matter who wins, I cannot let the Eastern Ban lead the world. That will kill the gentry in the world!"

"Get out!" Li Dingguo said angrily, reaching out to push Wu Zhenyu aside.

Wu Zhenyu sorted out his clothes and stepped out. Li Dingguo suddenly drew his sword, slashed the house several times, and smashed the tables and chairs. Li Dingguo roared: "Gentlemen! Gentlemen! If you don't have you gentry, why wouldn't I have ended up in such a land? My adoptive father wouldn't have rebelled. Go away your gentry and get out of the Ming Dynasty!"
