Chapter 117
When the imperial court order was passed to Fang Guoan's headquarters, it was like water pouring into a pan of oil, and the crowd was excited. Only a fool would believe such nonsense as being transferred to Nanjing.

At the residence of Commander-in-Chief Fang Guoan in Hangzhou, there was a sound of smashing things in the distance. The servants didn't understand what happened to their master today, and he was so angry.Based on the idea of ​​​​protecting oneself wisely.No one dared to come forward and ask.He was afraid that his master would spread his anger on him.

"Fraud! National traitors! Fang Xiaobai and Zhu Dadian are causing trouble for the court! Holding His Majesty hostage, their hearts will be punishable!"

Fang Guoan vented his anger wantonly, smashing everything in the study.Everything that can be kicked is also kicked, and the room is in a mess, but it cannot be extinguished
The anger in his heart caused by fear.

He stared blankly at all this, and suddenly sat down on the ground.As the commander-in-chief of Hangzhou, he actually has a lot of power. He has [-] "elite soldiers and strong generals" under his command to dominate one side.

He also partnered with Lu Wang in Hangzhou to do a monopoly business, and it is not too much to make money every day, just when he is getting carried away with his own money.There was actually a transfer order from Nanjing, and it was obvious at a glance that it was Fang Xiaobai's handwriting. He had ulterior motives, and if he didn't agree, it looked like he was going to attack him.

Fang Guoan was unwilling to be captured without a fight. After enjoying the rights brought by the high position, he couldn't stop and was unwilling to let go.He was a little timid again.

"No, I can't fight against Fang Xiaobai's army alone, what should I do? Well... that's right! Zheng Zhilong of Fujian will not sit back and watch me be annexed by the imperial court. He understands the truth of death and coldness better than me, and Su Guansheng of Guangdong..."

It has to be said that the more anxious people are, the more bad ideas they come up with, and he doesn't want the imperial court to send troops. It's almost as good as biting off a piece of meat.

But now Fang Guoan has been carried away by anger and is not as calm as before: "Come here! Prepare a carriage for me immediately!"

Fang Guoan was sitting in the carriage, constantly calculating his gains and losses: "According to the information, Fang Xiaobai will lead an army of [-] to go south. Although I have an army of [-] in my hand, I am not in the battle formation and the military discipline is lax. I am afraid that I am not his opponent. In the north, there is no danger to defend, and it is not a good place, so what should we do?"

While he was deep in thought, a servant's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage: "Sir! Prince Lu's Mansion has arrived."

Through the small window on the carriage, Fang Guoan looked at the three characters "Lu Wang's Mansion" on the gate plaque, gritted his teeth, jumped off the carriage, came to the gate and said to the porter: "The official Guoan of the Hangzhou General Army came to visit. Is His Royal Highness at the mansion?"

The porter naturally knew Fang Guoan, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "It turns out that it is Master Fang. King Lu is in the mansion and has not gone out. Master Fang wait a moment, and I will report to you."

"It's work."

Fang Guoan stood with his hands behind his back. Not long after, the porter appeared in front of him again: "Zongbing Fang, my lord is here to invite you."

"Please lead the way."

Follow the concierge all the way in, pass the front hall, the hall, the study, and come to the back garden of the palace. From a long distance, you can see King Lu playing with his beloved parrot there.

The concierge wanted to announce loudly, but Fang Guoan pressed his shoulders, and Shiyu could just go over by himself.The concierge thought they were all old acquaintances, so he nodded in agreement.

Fang Guoan went straight to King Lu, bowed respectfully, and said softly, "His Royal Highness King Lu is in a good mood."

Lu Wang Zhu Changhao heard Fang Guoan's voice, and turned around slowly: "Fang Zongbing, why do you have time to visit my house today? Could it be that you have found some way to get rich?"

"His Royal Highness King Lu, the official's visit this time is a very good thing."

"Oh? What a good thing, let's hear it."

Since Zhu Changhao cooperated with Fang Guoan, he has made a lot of money, not to mention, there are a few more charming concubines in the backyard. On the three-acre land of Hangzhou Mansion, he is the emperor of the land, and he says what he says. Bass up, since Fang Guoan said it was a good thing, then it is probably a good thing.

"The lower official boldly asks His Highness King Lu to inherit the throne and ascend the throne in Shaoxing Mansion and proclaim himself emperor."

Fang Guoan's words immediately caused Zhu Changfang to panic. He looked at Fang Guoan in disbelief and was speechless for a long time.

"Well, Rock! Now that King Fu is still alive, it has been half a year since Yu Yingtian Mansion ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. The country has its own lord. Isn't it tantamount to rebellion to be proclaimed emperor at this time? Only you and I know about this matter, so don't talk about it again." .”

Zhu Changhao was not an ambitious person at all, so if he was asked to give up the superior material life in front of him and accompany Fang Guoan to rebel, he would not be willing to kill him.

"Your Highness, King Fu is called the emperor, but he is actually a puppet. Fang Xiaobai is a treacherous minister like Cao Mengde, and sooner or later he will replace Daming. Now only you can represent Daming and save Daming from fire and water. You are not an official, but you are willing to give your all. , to help His Highness."

Fang Guoan will not give up until he achieves his goal, he has no way to retreat: "Your Highness! If you can raise the orthodox banner, I can assure you that the banner of righteousness will be raised everywhere, and there will be countless responders. , but two fists are no match for four hands."

It has to be said that Fang Guoan's big cake for Zhu Changhao is well-founded.But Zhu Changhao is a dou who can't help but is timid, afraid of death and stubborn. Otherwise, in the original history, when the Ming army and the Qing army fought bloody battles in Hangzhou, they would not have packaged the food in a grand manner and delivered it to the siege This kind of coquettish operation by the Qing army.

Seeing that Zhu Changhao disagreed with life and death, Fang Guoan was a little disappointed, and had no intention of staying in Lu Wang's mansion for dinner, so he found an excuse and left.

As soon as I walked to the front hall, I accidentally met Chen Hongfan, the former supervisor of the four coastal towns. The current Chen Hongfan, because Fang Xiaobai and others deliberately suppressed him, relegated his official position, and was transferred to Hangzhou as a fifth-rank Hangzhou prefect. He was transferred from the central government to the local government at once. Far away from the center of power, Fang Xiaobai's hatred is no less than Fang Guoan's.

"Master Chen?"

Chen Hongfan was stunned. He and Fang Guoan were just acquaintances and had no contact with each other on weekdays. He never expected to meet him in the palace today: "Master Fang! Are you also in Prince Lu's palace?" The civil servant's mind turned quickly, and he instantly understood what Fang Guoan meant. Plan, Fang Xiaobai annexes Zhejiang, and he is the number one person whose interests will be harmed. He cannot let Fang Xiaobai slaughter him. It seems that his plan coincides with his own!

"Master Fang, I have some personal matters to attend to His Highness King Lu, so I'd like to say goodbye."

Fang Guoan didn't pay much attention, nodded and passed him by.Looking at Fang Guoan's leaving back, Chen Hongfan raised his mouth slightly: "It seems that the commander-in-chief has returned without success. I have to help him."

Chen Hongfan withdrew his gaze, resumed his low-key appearance, and followed the concierge to the back garden.

At noon on the second day, Fang Guoan, who was preparing to resist the enemy, unexpectedly received an invitation from King Lu Zhu Changzi to the palace. As soon as he walked into the study room with a puzzled look on his face, he saw Chen Hongfan, whom he met by chance yesterday, standing respectfully aside and quietly talking to Fang Guoan. Wink.

"Pan Shi, you are here. What happened yesterday was due to my lack of thoughtfulness. The Great Ming Dynasty cannot fall into the hands of others. For the sake of the people of the world, this king is duty-bound."

Zhu Changhao actually agreed!Fang Guoan was overjoyed, and when he looked at Chen Hongfan again, he understood that it was his credit: I don't know what method Mr. Chen used to make King Lu change his mind, but it doesn't matter, as long as we stand on the same side, we are friends.

In 1646 AD, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the second year of Hongguang, King Lu supervised the country in Shaoxing, declared Fu Wang Zhu Yousong as a false emperor, Fang Xiaobai as a national traitor, and appointed Chen Hongfan as a scholar of Dongge University, Fang Guoan as a Duke of the state, and the orthodox of the Ming Dynasty. , the common people of Li, went to war with them, and invited Zheng Zhilong of Fujian, Su Guansheng of Guangdong and Guangxi to fight against the thieves.
