The father-in-law's mansion, night.

Zhou Kui sat blankly in front of his secret treasure house, sighing.

"It's gone, it's gone..."

"It's this prince, damn prince!"

"Why did I have such a grandson? I'm so fucking!"

Zhou Kui has been talking to himself for a long time, and no one dares to get close to him.

The sound of footsteps sounded from behind, and there was another sound that followed.

"The prince is fine, the father-in-law."

Zhou Kui's body shook slowly, and then he turned his head.

In front of him were three people, Wei Zaode, Cao Huachun and Wang Huamin.

Zhou Kui said coldly: "The prince is okay? Then why are you here to do?"

Cao Huachun smiled slowly and looked for a chair beside him and sat down: "Bestie, the money is gone, so you should look forward and be less angry."

Zhou Kui was still cold: "Then your family's money is gone, are you relieved?"

Cao Huachun stopped.

Wei Zaode coughed and said, "Okay, we are both harmed by the prince. We should be united at this time, otherwise how can we bring down the prince and how can we get back our money and official position?"

Wei Zaode's words played some role and the atmosphere eased a lot.

Zhou Kui said: "You said before that you can bring down the crown prince by mobilizing all ministers. Why can't you do it now?"

Cao Huachun showed a helpless smile: "We mobilized all the ministers, but the prince mobilized all the soldiers of the Beijing camp, as well as most of the lower-level officials in the capital. Under the current circumstances, Your Majesty believes more and more that you can imagine which side you can think of."

Zhou Kui didn't speak anymore.

Wei Zaode said slowly: "Things are over, and for the sake of the present, we should think of a new solution first."

Cao Huachun said: "That's true, I wonder what you can do?"

silence.

After a while, Zhou Kui spoke coldly: "If there is no good way, it's better to open the city gate and surrender the King of Chuang!"

After Zhou Kui said this, the other three were shocked at the same time.

It would be fine if others were not. Zhou Kui was Chongzhen's father-in-law and the father-in-law of the Ming Dynasty. He actually wanted to surrender to the King of Chuang?

Cao Huachun and Wang Huamin naturally had already made up their minds to surrender to Li Zicheng, but they had not mentioned it in front of Zhou Kui and Wei Zaode. They just took into account the identities of these two people. Unexpectedly, Zhou Kui actually spoke out first today.

Cao Huachun was shocked and confused for a moment, and wanted to speak up as Zhou Kui said and bring this father-in-law into the gang, but he was afraid that what if it was Zhou Kui's bitter plan to sing?

Wei Zaode did not notice Cao Huachun's psychological activities, but said seriously: "The father-in-law said this is wrong. If the rebel army enters the city, it would be fine. Now the rebel army is still blocked outside the city. If we wait to be this traitor of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be a badass in history books for thousands of years?"

Although Wei Zaode lost his position as chief minister, he originally valued his reputation very much, so he immediately objected.

Zhou Kui looked at Wei Zaode, sneered slightly, and asked back: "If the King of Chuang really leads his army into the city in a few days, I wonder if Lord Wei will continue to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty?"

This sentence also stopped Wei Zaode, and after a few seconds, he laughed dryly: "I'll talk about it later, and I'll talk about it later."

Wang Huamin looked at the three people in front of him and felt speechless.

It would be fine if you say that the father-in-law of the Zhou Dynasty is a greedy old man. Cao Huachun at least has control over the Sili Supervisor, and Wei Zaode has served as the chief minister. He is both a big shot in the inner and outer courts. Why does it seem like an old man and an old lady when it comes to an end, and he has lost any idea except cursing people?

I always feel that the prince moved away not only their money, but also their brains.

With this strong sense of complaint, Wang Huamin spoke in a deep voice: "Three, I have an idea, maybe I can try it."

Wang Huamin's words immediately attracted the attention of the other three people.

Zhou Kui said: "What's the idea?"

Cao Huachun said: "Grandpa Wang, come on, come on."

Wei Zaodedao: "It is best to be effective as soon as possible, otherwise the prince will send all our money."

Wang Huamin had a little urge to roll his eyes. Your money is not mine, it has nothing to do with me.

Wang Huamin took a deep breath and said slowly: "Actually, why can the prince make His Majesty surrender today? The answer is very simple, because he has soldiers in his hands!

Before, our idea was to get rid of the prince directly, but now that the prince's money has been paid, the soldiers from the Beijing camp will definitely stand on his side wholeheartedly. In addition, the British Duke is also a hard-core supporter of the prince, so it would be useless even if he continues to impeach His Majesty.

So we should change our thinking, that is, first find someone to share the prince's military power. Then, let this person replace the prince step by step and control all the military power in the capital in the shortest time. By that time, if the prince who has military power is not in his hands, it will be difficult for us to deal with him?"

When Wang Huamin said what he meant, the other three immediately understood.

Wei Zaode said with some confusion: "But, where should we find a general who can divide the prince's military power and does not like the prince?"

Wang Huamin smiled slightly and said, "Did you forget the Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen? He is his confidant, but he lost the military power to command the Beijing camp because of the prince. Do you think he has no objection in his heart?

And if I remember correctly, Xiangcheng Bo seems to be a relative of Mr. Zhou, right? If Mr. Zhou can personally persuade him, this matter should be as stable as Mount Tai."

Zhou Kui nodded and said, "I will go find Li Guozhen later and have a good talk with him."

Wei Zaode touched his beard and said, "Even if he can lift Xiangcheng Bo up and divide the military power, who can guarantee that Xiangcheng Bo will perform well? Don't forget that Xiangcheng Bo is just a young man in his twenties."

Wang Huamin laughed: "Master Wei, fighting is just a word for money in the final analysis? As long as you have money, are you afraid that the soldiers will not work hard? You are not present today, and you can't see the soldiers in the Beijing camp after the prince sent the money. After the prince gave the money, the eighteen generations of ancestors wanted to make cows and horses for the prince.

Even if the Xiangcheng Bo cannot fight, it is impossible for him to not even send money, right? As long as the Xiangcheng Bo can defend it, we can mobilize our allies to lobby against His Majesty, and transfer the military power from the prince step by step.

At that time, Xiangcheng Bo will have more and more troops. Can he still lose and not be as good as the prince?"

After Wang Huamin asked these questions, Wei Zaode finally became convinced and smiled: "Eunuch Wang is right. I am indeed not a military man and lack consideration in this regard. Eunuch Wang's opinion is very reasonable. If Eunuch Cao and the father-in-law have no objection, I think this can be done!"

Cao Huachun and Zhou Kui nodded at the same time.
