Wen Tiren's face changed color.
He said: "It can't be the British Duke. You and I both know who the British Duke is. I believe that others have taken refuge in the tiger thieves. There is absolutely no way that the British Duke has taken refuge in the tiger thieves."
"No, except for the British Duke, it is impossible for anyone else to do this without leaking. It was not until the tiger thief entered the city and the nobles came to show their flaws." Zhou Yanru determined that the British Duke was indispensable.
Even though the British prince and several other nobles had burned themselves to accompany the Ming Dynasty at Donghua Gate, he still firmly believed that the person among the nobles who traded the Tiger Flag was the British prince.
Wen Tiren said: "Even if there is something about the British prince, but now that he is dead, the people in Nandu will never pursue his crime. Instead, it will be you and me. Because of the matter about the crown prince, Nandu is afraid that without you Where I set my feet.”
Zhou Yanru's face suddenly darkened.
I originally thought of taking the crown prince to Nandu and doing the Dragon Cultivation Technique myself, but I didn't expect that in the end, the possibility of going to Nandu was cut off.
"Don't worry about them, Xungui. Do they have any dealings with tiger thieves? You might as well think about what the two of us should do next!" Wen Tiren looked at Zhou Yanru.
"Succumb to the thieves!" Zhou Yanru blurted out.
Wen Tiren was stunned for a moment, thinking that he heard wrongly, and asked again: "No, what did you say?"
"If you don't surrender to the thieves, is it possible that you want to defect to the aliens in Liaodong?" Zhou Yanru glanced at Wen Tiren and said immediately, "As the first and second assistants of the Ming Dynasty, you and I are exactly what the tiger thieves are lacking. Only the two of us Many officials of the Ming Dynasty will defect to the tiger thieves. With the strength of the tiger thieves and the help of us people to help the tiger thieves govern the world, even the Ming Dynasty will not be able to hold on for long in Nandu. Sooner or later, it will fall into the hands of the tiger thieves. At that time You and I are the founding heroes of our country."
After saying this, Wen Tiren in front of him took a long time to respond.
Zhou Yanru continued: "Do you still think that after going to Nandu, there is still a place for you and me? Without Conglong Gong, the first people in Nandu have to deal with are our two cabinet ministers. .”
"Not long ago, you and I wanted to take the crown prince to Nandu. In the blink of an eye, we have to turn from thieves to thieves. This change is a bit too big." Wen Tiren couldn't accept such a big change in Zhou Yanru for a while.
Zhou Yanru faced him and said: "Brother Changqing, if you still want to stay in the officialdom, becoming a thief is the best choice. Of course, if brother Changqing is not willing, I will rely on the mountains and rivers, but I have decided to stay in the Tiger Character Banner." Officer." Zhou Yanru said.
The title of Tiger Thief also changed from his mouth to Tiger Flag.
"Will Tiger Character Flag take you and me in? We have had a lot of trouble with Tiger Character Flag in the past." Wen Tiren said worriedly.
When Zhou Yanru heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Naturally, it was understood that Wen Tiren did not want to leave officialdom.
For him, he definitely needs helpers when he first enters the officialdom of Tiger Character Banner, and Wen Tiren is his best helper. And after entering Tiger Character Banner, their previous conflicts will naturally cease to exist because there is no conflict of interest, and because The familiar relationship can achieve the same tacit understanding as when they blocked Qian Qianyi from joining the cabinet.
"What are you laughing at!" Wen Tiren was furious when Zhou Yanru saw him, and said, "The Tiger Character Banner also has its own officials. Even if we join the Tiger Character Banner, it will not be easy to get a high position."
Zhou Yanru stretched out the index finger of his right hand and waved it left and right in front of Wen Tiren's eyes, and said: "They come from a bunch of mud-legged people and don't know a few Chinese characters. They know how to govern the country. If the tiger-character flag wants to be stable, it will need people like you and me." Officials help them govern the world."
"It's not all idiots, there are still some officials who defected from the Ming Dynasty." Wen Tiren said.
After hearing this, Zhou Yanru sneered and asked, "Are you talking about Hong Hengjiu? And Sun Boya, who was sent to Shandong by the imperial court?"
It is no secret that Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting are working for Tiger Character Banner, especially Hong Chengchou, who has reached the position of governor and is a proper local official, so naturally it is impossible to hide it.
"That Sun Chuanting is just a county magistrate, mainly Hong Hengjiu. The fact that he can stay in Shandong as governor shows that he has the attention of Liu Dongzhu of Tiger Character Banner." Wen Tiren said.
Zhou Yanru said with disdain: "One Shaanxi chief envoy is involved in politics, and the other is just a deputy inspector in Shandong. How can these two people be compared with you and me? They can manage one place, but they want to govern the world. These two men are completely unqualified."
"That's true. Although these two people have political experience, they don't have much experience." Wen Tiren agreed with Zhou Yanru's words and immediately asked, "Brother Yusheng, what are you going to do next?"
They are all smart people, and he knows that one must pay attention to methods when seeking refuge, otherwise he will not be taken seriously even if he seeks refuge in the past.
Zhou Yanru looked thoughtful, tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and then asked: "What kind of contribution do you think has the greatest credit?"
"Of course it's from Long Gongchen." Wen Tiren blurted out.
They wanted to take the crown prince to Nandu, not just for the sake of serving the dragon.
Zhou Yanru said: "You are right. No matter how great your contribution is, it is nothing more than serving the dragon and rescuing him. You and I are not the old people in Tiger Character Banner. If we want to be valued by Liu Dongzhu in Tiger Character Banner, we naturally need to find another way." It’s just something weird.”
"Stop being pretentious and just tell me what you want to do?" Wen Tiren asked.
Zhou Yanru asked unhurriedly: "What do you think Dongzhu Liu wants to do most after the Tiger Character Banner captures the capital?"
"Of course he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor." Wen Tiren said smoothly.
Zhou Yanru slapped the table with his palm and said: "Yes, it means ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor. If you and I want to establish a firm foothold in the new dynasty, we must think more about this matter."
"There are so many people in the Tiger Character Banner who want to put that Dongzhu Liu on the throne. What do you think can happen to us?" Wen Tiren wrinkled his nose and shook his head.
I'm not optimistic about Zhou Yanru's approach.
After hearing this, Zhou Yanru shook his head and said: "You are wrong. There are some things that we can do, but others in Tiger Flag cannot do at all. This is our advantage!"
"We are all former ministers of the former dynasty. If there is anything they can't do, we are remote and can do it." After saying this, Wen Tiren paused, then widened his eyes and said, "You don't want to take it with you?" The other ministers should give a petition to Mr. Liu and ask him to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, right?"
Zhou Yanru said with a smile: "It seems that you have also thought of it, Brother Changqing."
"Why don't you think about it? You're not doing this alone. Isn't it the same every time there is a change of dynasty?" Wen Tiren curled his lips.
He thought there was some good solution, but in the end it wasn't just copying things from history.
