Xu Yingyuan was embarrassed, but Chen Jian did not look down on the Guangdong people as Mu Tianbo, Fu Gang and others on the same day. Instead, he nodded deeply and said, "The situation is critical now. Since the emperor promised marriage, it would be fine for you to pick up Your Highness the Princess to go back to Guangdong. Otherwise, if your Highness has any accidents, the Duke of Guangdong will not look good. Well, even if it is an ordinary person's home, he will have to save his wife who has not passed the door in trouble, let alone the Duke of God."

"That's exactly what we mean!"

Xu Yingyuan was thinking of Chen Jian’s confidant, but he didn’t know that although Chen Jian was a uncle, he actually didn’t know a big word. He rebelled with King Xi since he was a child to seek survival. Naturally, he was not as pedantic as Duke of Qian, Mu Tianbo, Grand Secretary Fu Gang and others, and what are the ethics and moral rules? In Chen Jian’s opinion, since the emperor issued an order to grant Zhou Shixiang of Guangdong, it would be normal for his subordinates to pick up the Duke of the Kingdom who had not passed the family. However, he didn’t think much about the others, so he said casually: “The sage is in Anning City, you can just pick up people.”

Unexpectedly, Xu Yingyuan coughed dryly, looking embarrassed: "My uncle doesn't know anything, the emperor doesn't agree with us to pick up people."

"Don't agree?" Chen Jian was stunned, feeling strange, "Since the emperor disagrees with you to pick up people, why do you still have to pick up people?"

Xu Yingyuan looked at him and said in a deep voice: "It was because the emperor did not agree to letting go that I decided to pick him up." There was something in his words.

"you?"

Xu Yingyuan understood. He looked at the Taiping Army men holding swords and guns behind Xu Yingyuan, and suddenly laughed and said in admiration: "I dare to think and do, I am worthy of being the Duke of Guangdong, I have a genital! However, Jin Tongwu is there on the side of the Saint Chariot, and thousands of soldiers under him are all old soldiers of the King of Jin, who are quite capable of fighting. It is a bit difficult to snatch people out of their hands."

"It's just difficult to deal with, so I decided to do it." Xu Yingyuan smiled and asked Chen Jian sincerely and said, "I wonder if there is any good way for uncle to help me?"

Chen Jian laughed and said, "I'm having a headache and just go to Guangdong to join Duke Wu empty-handed, and I'm afraid it's a little bad. If I don't do it well, I'll be neglected and sit on the bench. To be honest, Yunnan cannot be saved, and the Shengjia is also dangerous. It's a coward to go to Sichuan. It's better to go to Guangdong to do this with your country and country. I have to accept a letter of vote for you as a bandit. My letter of vote is to send your country and country to a marriage for thousands of miles."

Upon hearing that Chen Jian was willing to help and also go to Guangdong, Xu Yingyuan was immediately overjoyed and quickly bowed to the editor to thank him. Guo Shao was a little disbelief and thought that Chen Jian had only five or six people, and he could not protect himself, so how could he help them steal the princess? Chen Jian saw his question and chuckled, saying, "The King of Jin ordered me to take over and also seized my military power, but if I go back, my soldiers would still listen to me."

Ding Yong at the side also nodded and said, "Where are the soldiers in our Shu Palace who are really willing to listen to Jin Tongwu? Previously, Jin Tongwu's bastard tricked us away and suddenly attacked us. The people below were still kept in the dark. If we really go back, our soldiers can still help him, Jin Tongwu deal with us! There is nothing wrong with this, brothers will do it!"

The other generals and schoolmen of the Shu Prince's Mansion were not told. If it weren't for the Taiping Army's rescue, they would still be alive? Now that Chen Jian decided to take them to the Taiping Army, they would naturally take the initiative to steal the princess.

"No further ado, you can go to peace with me."

Chen Jian did it as soon as he said, and immediately asked Xu Yingyuan and the others to divide a few horses, and the group rushed to Anning City. On the way, they ran into a large group of officials running out of Anning. Chen Jian knew several of them, but they were Wannian Ce, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Liu Mi, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Qian Bangqi, the left assistant censor, and others.

The Minister of Revenue, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the Censor of the Left Chief Censor are one of the nine ministers of the six ministries and a real important minister of the court. But now they don’t stay in An Ning and go out to the city to do something. Moreover, these officials not only ran out by themselves, but also took their relatives together. Some even took off their official robes and changed their clothes to the common people.

Wan Niance, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was shocked when he saw the Guangping Bo Chen Jian, and thought to himself that this person had just called King Jin to escort him out of the city, why did he come back in a blink of an eye?

"Sir Wan, what happened? Why did you all come out?" Chen Jianyu asked immediately.

"My uncle, don't call me any more master. I won't do this official anymore."

Wan Niance felt distressed in his heart, and sighed and went forward to tell the truth: "We originally thought that the priest was going to Sichuan, but half an hour ago, the priest suddenly told everyone to retreat to western Yunnan. Everyone felt that retreating to western Yunnan was a dead end and was disappointed with the court, so they didn't want to be this official anymore. They thought that before the Qing army came, everyone would find a hiding place to take refuge."

Liu Qin and other officials also came forward to express their dissatisfaction and despair with the imperial court going to western Yunnan. Some cursed Ma Jixiang and bewitched the Holy Lord, while others scolded the King of Jin for being so confused. They actually agreed to go to western Yunnan.

Amid the noise, Xu Yingyuan suddenly said loudly to the officials: "My lords, the soldiers are in chaos. It's not a big deal for you to run away like this. Don't mention the Qing soldiers, even some bandits and strong men can take your lives."

What Xu Yingyuan said is true. Although these officials in front of him are all important officials of the court, they are all weak scholars. Not to mention strong people, even an old farmer with a hoe can kill them with one hoe, so they will definitely not be able to run like this.

Wanniance didn't recognize Xu Yingyuan, so he looked at Chen Jian with inquiring eyes and asked, "Bo Guangping, who is this?"

Chen Jian was stunned, and then he remembered that he didn't know the names of the subordinates of the Duke of Guangdong. He hurriedly asked in a low voice, and then said to Wan Niance and others: "This is the Guangdong Victory Envoy, Lord Xu Yingyuan, the Duke of Guangdong."

"The Duke of Guangdong?"

Only then did the officials remember that Guangdong sent two victories to Kunming in the previous episode. Some officials who had seen Guangdong victories from all walks of life and thought that it was no wonder they looked so familiar.

"Mr. Xu is telling the truth, but since we have decided not to become an official, we can't go to western Yunnan with the sage. We will naturally find a place to hide, otherwise we can't stay in Anning and wait for the Qing soldiers to come." Qian Bangqian, the left-level censor, said.

The other officials were talking nonsense, and they were just talking nonsense, otherwise anyone would have been willing to leave the city and escape. Now, they have taken one step at a time. If they really encounter a bandit and strong man, they can only admit that they are unlucky.

Chen Jian frowned, not knowing how to persuade these officials to go back, but they decided not to be officials and what to do. He watched them flee like the people, but he didn't know how many they could survive.

Xu Yingyuan said, "You are all well-educated people and pillars of the court. It is really a loss for our Ming Dynasty to abandon the official position."

"What does Lord Xu mean?"

"I mean, you might as well go to Guangdong. My general has more than 100,000 elite troops. Recently, he defeated the army led by Prince Jian of Qing, Jidu. There is nothing wrong with the territory of Guangdong. It is time to be in trouble and to be able to do anything. It is time to use the skills of all the masters."

"this"

Wan Nian Ce, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was very moved, but he was a little embarrassed: "Guangdong is thousands of miles away from Yunnan, and we can't even go if we want to."

Xu Yingyuan said: "If you believe it, you can return to Guangdong with us."

Wan Niance nodded and said, "Mr. Xu, wait a moment, I will discuss with all my colleagues."

Xu Yingyuan smiled and said, "Please give me a gift, Mr. Wan."

After Wanniance told the officials about Xu Yingyuan's intentions, many officials immediately agreed, and some refused to go. In the end, about 40 officials were willing to go to Guangdong. Xu Yingyuan asked Guo Shao to lead a team of people to temporarily settle them in a village several miles away on the roadside. After they grabbed the princess, they came to meet.

Guo Shao was very puzzled by Xu Yingyuan's inclusion of these officials and asked him: "Brother Xu, what are you bringing them for?"

"If the general wants to support the new monarch, he always has to talk about orthodox and name, and the court's arrogance must be built. If these important officials of the Yongli court all went to Guangdong, would you say that this new monarch is orthodox?"

"Orthodox is orthodox, but these people are too burdensome. How can we take them back to Guangdong? There are Qing troops in Guangxi, so we can't take these people over."

"Who said he was leaving Guangxi?" Xu Yingyuan shook his head and said, "The general before I came, we ordered that we would go to Annan when we returned, and then take a sea boat to Guangdong."

"Go to Annan?"

Guo Shao thought about it and no longer objected. Annan was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. He naturally did not have to pass through Guangxi with the Qing army when he returned to Guangdong from Annan. There was no need to worry about security issues.

After leaving Guo Shao to resettle the group of officials who left An Ning, Xu Yingyuan, Chen Jian, Liang Shuanghu and others continued to rush to An Ning. On the way, they met Zhang Zuochen, the Minister of Personnel, Wang Jiao and others. Zhang Zuochen was originally from Guangdong, but after hearing Xu Yingyuan's persuasion, they naturally had no objection. Wang Jiao and other officials were desperate. Seeing that the Minister of Personnel agreed to go to Guangdong and the Taiping Army was also taken care of, they naturally had no objection.

The closer they were to Anning, the more officials Xu Yingyuan and others would be accommodated. In addition to the Minister of Personnel, there were two important officials, Sun Shun, the Minister of War and Cheng Yuan, the Minister of Rites. Like the previous groups of officials, these two ministers were disappointed with the court and abandoned their official positions. After some persuasion, they coaxed and deceived them and vaguely threatened. As a result, Guo Shao actually hosted Yongli court officials and nearly a thousand family members, and became a Yongli court official host.

The number of officials who abandoned their official positions and fled the city was extremely scary. The number of important officials was even more shocking, but what was even more shocking was that at this moment, Anning City was already in chaos and a group of emperors were robbed.

Another section ends the Yunnan plot, and the vision turns back to Guangxi. A book friend said that Bones’s depiction of Yongli and King Jin is too dark. What I want to say here is that although Emperor Yongli died, his performance in the more than ten years before his death was a mess and was definitely not done by the monarch. If history chose another emperor to replace Yongli in those ten years, I believe that it would be several times better than Yongli.

As for King Jin, Botou respected him and always believed that King Jin was a national hero of the Han people. However, some of the weaknesses of King Jin and some of the things he did in the last two years were not very good. They were all direct stories from history and had no artistic processing elements.

If there is no gold, no one will be perfect. (To be continued.)
