Second update, please give me a recommendation vote to thank the book friend for finding the inverter artifact.
Why is the book friend free?
The day before yesterday was not the 100 coin reward for the book friend.
Gao Hongtu sighed and said: "Your Majesty has other plans for Ling Yan, I can't say any more."
Hou Fangyu wanted to ask again, but he swallowed the words.
Since it concerns the emperor, there must be a limit to what Gao Hongtu can say.
For him to be able to speak like this is already a great honor to Hou Fangyu.
Hou Fangyu didn't want to offend Gao Hongtu and cut off the only thread.
"It's my nephew Meng Lang."
Hou Fangyu raised his hand to Gao Hongtu and was about to leave.
Gao Hongtu said: "Ling Yan may not have a chance to be reinstated, but whether he can be reinstated depends on the Holy Emperor.
I advise my nephew to avoid going to Fireworks and Willow Alley during these days.
It should be noted that there are many people in Goulan, and disasters often arise from it. this."
Hou Fangyu nodded: "Thank you, Uncle Shi, for your concern."
Then he walked away.
Gao Hongtu shook his head and said, "I hope he really listened."
Nanjing Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Cixiang felt very good after reading a memorial that was urgently delivered from Huguang.
The memorial was written by Du Yinxi, and its content was generally about obeying the holy order to win over and divide Zuo Liangyu's tribe.
Du Yinxi wrote in his memorial that among the thirty-sixth battalion of Zuo Liangyu, the Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong tribes were the strongest.
Because they were both soldiers from Shaanxi, they were very crowded out by other battalions.
Du Yinxi took advantage of this and used He Tengjiao's skill to make Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong's dissatisfaction with Zuo Liangyu reach its peak.
Now the two of them are inseparable from Zuo Liangyu.
This is exactly what Zhu Cixiang wants to see.
Zuo Liangyu's army was the largest in the entire Southern Ming Dynasty, numbering hundreds of thousands.
If Zhu Cixiang wanted to compete with the Manchus, he would not be able to rely solely on the Shence Army he formed.
He must recruit Zuo Liangyu's tribe.
If everything develops according to history, Zuo Liangyu will have less than a year to live, and the Zuo Department will definitely fall apart by then.
If it is collected by then, it will be too late, and preparations must be made in advance.
That's why Zhu Cixi issued a secret order to Du Yinxi and asked him to take action on this matter.
Zhu Cixiang only said in the imperial edict that Du Yinxi should be divided and conquered.
As for how to do it specifically, Du Yinxi has to figure it out for himself.
If Du Yinxi couldn't even understand this, Zhu Cixiang would have to reconsider his positioning of Du Yinxi.
Fortunately, Du Yinxi did not disappoint Zhu Cixiang and completed the task well.
Zhu Cixiang had a thorough understanding of history, so he knew the importance of Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong.
Du Yinxi is not a time traveler, but he is able to target Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong, and his eyes on people can be described as vicious.
At present, Du Yinxi has completed the initial task very well.
What he does next is directly related to the success or failure of the Chu tribe in the future.
Zhu Cixiang thought about it again and again, and felt that it was too early for Du Yinxi to reveal his trump card to Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong now, so he should wait.
Of course, before that, Du Yinxi can take the initiative to get closer to Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong, which can also pave the way for the subsequent showdown.
"Your Majesty, urgent report from Dongchang" One of the eunuchs walked into the Nuan Pavilion and knelt down on the ground, singing a report loudly.
Zhu Cixiang took out the emergency report, tore open the mud seal and read it slowly.
After reading it, Zhu Cixiang frowned.
It turned out that Dongchang fanzi reported that Hou Fangyu took the initiative to visit Gao Hongtu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the two had a pleasant conversation.
Although the purpose of Hou Fangyu's trip was not stated in the urgent report from Dongchang, Zhu Cixiang could guess that he was running for Hou Xun.

Speaking of Hou Xun, he is a quite complicated character.
This man is undoubtedly the leader of the Donglin Party, but he has been repeatedly defeated in court battles.
He was imprisoned twice because of character issues, and his experience was a rough one.
Of course, Hou Xun is far less famous than his son Hou Fangyu.
Hou Fangyu became famous in large part because of the publicity of the Peach Blossom Fan.
The poignant love story between Li Xiangjun and Hou Fangyu has indeed attracted the attention of young literary and artistic people.
But there is a big difference between the legendary script and reality.
Hou Fangyu was a complete traitor in history.
This person not only participated in the imperial examinations sponsored by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and was evaluated by the princes who should be elected in the two dynasties, he also made suggestions for the Manchu and Qing rulers and suppressed the uprising of the Yuyuan Army.
No one with any remaining humanity would suggest that the Qing Dynasty suppress the uprising by tearing open the Yellow River embankments.
But Hou Fangyu did so without hesitation.
When the Yellow River embankment in Jinglongkou burst, millions of people died in Zhili, Shandong, and Henan.
What he did was outrageous.
In the late Ming Dynasty, there was no shortage of national heroes with backbone, as well as leading parties and traitors.
Hou Fangyu definitely belongs to the latter.
In this man's eyes, power is above all else.
In order to gain power, he would sell millions of his fellow citizens without hesitation.
To describe such a person as a scum is an insult to the word.
Although Wu Weiye was shameless, he was only an official of the Qing Dynasty and did not make any suggestions for the Qing court to kill the rebels.
But Hou Fangyu was really working for the tiger, with no bottom line at all.
How did this man get together with Gao Hongtu?
Zhu Cixi's expression immediately darkened.
He had no ill feelings toward Hou Xun, but he deeply disliked Hou Fangyu.
He immediately issued an order to watch Hou Fangyu closely in Dongchang, and report any changes at any time.
As for Hou Xun, there is still room for him.
Although this person has limited political power, his ability to recognize people is first-rate.
Zuo Liangyu, the largest warlord in Southern Ming Dynasty, was recommended and promoted by him.
It was precisely because of Hou Xun's kindness to Zuo Liangyu that Zuo Liangyu respected Hou Xun throughout his life.
Maybe Zuo Liangyu wouldn't listen to what the emperor said, but Zuo Liangyu would more or less listen to what Hou Xun said.
Zhu Cixiang's purpose was to let Hou Xun hold Zuo Liangyu back with his personal friendship, at least not to let him send troops down the Yangtze River to take Nanjing in the name of the Qing emperor like in history.
As long as Zuo Liangyu is dragged to his death, Zuo Mengeng, his prodigal son, will never dare to raise an army to invade because of his guts.
By then, Zhu Cihong can effectively control the situation in Zuozhen as long as he recruits some generals such as Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong.
But the premise of all this is that Hou Fangyu doesn't cause trouble.
In the inner hall of Jishengchang Grain Store in Nanjing, a fat middle-aged man wearing a uniform and a Liuhe hat was sipping a cup of tea.
A tall young man in his twenties couldn't help pacing the room.
He wanted to open his mouth several times but finally held back.
It wasn't until the middle-aged man finished drinking the entire cup of tea that the young man said, "Dad, the Chamber of Commerce is just waiting for a word from you.
As long as you say a price increase, we will raise the price immediately."
"Extremely stupid" The middle-aged man glared at his son fiercely and asked sternly: "Are you doing this so obviously because you are afraid that others will not be able to get a handle on you?"
