Chapter 257 Riding a tiger is difficult

Wu Zheng could only tell Li Dingguo a lot about the ten generations of the Wu family protecting the descendants of Huizong, "...It's not that I have the kindness of a woman, but that this matter is really difficult... If I force myself, I will be accused of being a prisoner and robbed by the world... I won't ignore my reputation for a while, but the new dynasty will have to bear this bad reputation... It's really hard to do it cruelly!"

Li Dingguo was originally a loyal and righteous person. After hearing Wu Zheng’s remarks, he slowly fell silent.

"Then do you want to bow your head and surrender?" Li Dingguo asked directly and sharply.

Wu Zheng smiled slightly, "If there is no better way... I'm afraid that this will be the only way."

"A woman who is in heaven and heaven has made a woman ascend the throne to become the emperor... Wouldn't it make the world laugh?!" Li Dingguo slapped the table in annoyance, but looked at Wu Zheng's face, "Forget it... Since you have no intention of competing for the world with her, Li doesn't force it... With Li here, we can't get any loss... I think that I can't suffer."

Both of them fell silent.

After a while, Li Dingguo asked, "Then... the rebellion in Hangzhou Prefecture... what exactly do you want to do?"

Wu Zheng sighed lightly, "The eldest princess went north quietly that day. When she launched a coup, I was suspicious of the problems within the general, but she had been unable to determine who it was... This time, Zhu Yihai suddenly came ashore to ascend the throne, which made me even more sure there was internal problems, so I had never reacted, just to see who this person or these people were..."

"However, Qian Su was happy... said that he was told by Zheng Sen, but I thought... not all." Wu Zheng sighed, "His death was said to be killed, rather than asking for death... But why he wanted to die? I have never understood why he wanted to die. Some said it was for the people of the world, and some said it was for me... But I don't need him like this. After a squinting, he should be very clear in his heart... Then, why did he insist on asking for death?"

Li Dingguo frowned, "Qian Sule...isn't he your father-in-law?"

Wu Zheng smiled bitterly, "He is my father-in-law... I am even more loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty!"

Li Dingguo understood and snorted, "Although Li admired his character and loyalty before, today it seems... he is just a person who is invincible!"

Wu Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This matter is not right or wrong. Black and white are so clear. Whether it is a minister or an elder, Mr. Qian's character is enough to be a role model for the world!"

Li Dingguo looked at Wu Zheng and determined that Wu Zheng was saying what he said was in his heart. He slowly nodded in agreement, "What you said...is reasonable!"

Wu Zheng continued: "Mao Xiang once reminded me that if the eldest princess connects Qian Sule and Chen Zilong to do such a big situation is for the protection of the world and the future royal family, then there must be someone hiding in order to supervise me, or in other words, I can restrain me when I attack the royal family in the future... This made me feel a flash of inspiration... With the identity of Chen Zilong, Qian Sule and Princess, being able to give up their lives for this person is naturally a powerful enough existence...!"

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng smiled bitterly, "So, my eyes began to turn to the general's mansion... Qian Suguang and Zhang Guowei died in this chaos one after another, only Zhang Huangyan... and, I'm just not obsessed with it!"

Wu Zheng slapped his head in annoyed manner, "But what I never expected was that the person who was assisted by them with death would be...my sister!"

Li Dingguo was upset when he heard this, and slapped the table with a "bang", slapped the table, and shouted: "These people's thoughts are all twists and turns... I feel a headache when I hear it!"

"The King of Jin has a headache, I'm... heartache!" Wu Zheng sighed, "I thought they were righteous people. Seeing that the Northern Expedition was about to succeed, I still hope that they could contribute to the reconstruction of this devastated land, but they... didn't think so, and they didn't want these... what they wanted... the Ming royal family!"

"They knew that no one in the royal family could fight me... so they actually asked my sister to fight me!" Wu Zheng became angry, "But I can't figure it out... Even if she is not my real sister, she has been in the Wu family since she was a child. How could she bear it... She is really not afraid that I will ignore the affection between brother and sister?!"

Wu Zheng finally had someone to vent his emotions. Perhaps only in front of Li Dingguo, he could complain unscrupulously.

Because Li Dingguo is more like a warm feeling to him... brother.

Seeing that Wu Zheng was a little out of control, Li Dingguo waved to the guards beside him and then said to Huang Changping: "Go and get two jars of wine."

Huang Changping left in response.

Wu Zheng did not stop him. He never wanted to get drunk like he is now.

....

"If the two dynasties become one, can the new king tolerate the existence of the Western Army alone?"

Li Dingguo drank more than Wu Zheng, "...What should you do if you ask me to have hundreds of thousands of men under my command?"

Wu Zheng was also drunk, "Uh... King Jin is the King of Jin of the Yongli Dynasty, and you can negotiate with her..."

"But what if Li had no intention of subsidering under a woman?"

When Wu Zheng heard this, he suddenly felt shocked, and his drunkenness disappeared in half. He stared at Li Dingguo in a daze.

Li Dingguo drank another bowl of wine and slapped the bowl on the table, "Don't look at me like this. For the Zhu family, I am a thief, and the one who rebels the Zhu family... How could Li fall under the skirt of an unknown little woman...?"

Wu Zheng was shocked, "The King of Jin's intention... is to split China?"

Li Dingguo glanced at Wu Zheng, "Jianxing and Yongli belonged to two dynasties, how could there be division?"

"But... both dynasties used the banner of rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty..."

"It's right to fight against the Qing Dynasty, but why did you restore the Ming Dynasty?" Li Dingguo sneered, "Li followed his adoptive father for more than ten years to fight. In the end, the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of people was the Zhu Dynasty who ate people but did not eat bones... How do I explain to my dead brothers? How do I face the adoptive father's spirit in heaven?"

Wu Zheng was shocked and his drunkenness disappeared, "King Jin must not...!"

Li Dingguo waved his hand and said, "You have the blood edict of the late emperor in our dynasty... If you intend to ascend the throne to the emperor, Li will definitely assist you with it with all your might. If you don't want to, Li will not force you... But, don't stop Li!"

Wu Zheng was stunned. He never expected that this would end up like this in this trip.

Looking at Li Dingguo's drunkenness, Wu Zheng didn't know whether Li Dingguo was talking nonsense or speaking the truth after being drunk.

This is by no means Wu Zheng’s original intention. In the seven-year Northern Expedition, countless people shed blood and sacrificed for it, and in the end, they split China into two countries, East and West. This... was like a joke that was unpleasant to laugh.
