The sudden scene made many people a little confused.

But Zhen Guogong was not in a daze, he just glanced at these people around him, and his face sank.

He turned his head and stared at King Jin coldly.

"King Jin has a good method."

I was fooled, I was tricked early in the morning.

Aren't the people surrounding him now the reinforcements he thought he could win?
Think about the performance of these people when they came here, as well as the letters from Emperor Hongwen, and the pay.

Presumably it was all to numb myself, waiting for today's situation to appear.

At this moment, although Duke Zhen was angry and wanted to draw his sword to kill someone, he knew very well that he had lost.

Completely lost, from the moment the 5 people entered the camp, he had already lost.

No wonder those things between him and Bei Chu fermented so quickly in the barracks. Presumably there must be these people who added fuel to the fire.

"It's not comparable to Duke Zhen."

King Jin said a word lightly, which meant something.

Duke Zhen narrowed his eyes, and then said, "Since you know, why are you still like this?"

He wanted to ask, since you know everything, why do you still cooperate with Emperor Hongwen?After all, he was the one who took away the Xiao family.

"Because Dongzhou will always be the Xiao family's Dongzhou."

The people around couldn't understand this inexplicable sentence, but Lord Zhen understood it.

No wonder the two will cooperate, it turns out that this is a consensus reached.

"He is very sincere."

To be able to hand over the military power of the Northland to the King of Jin is indeed considered to be very sincere by Emperor Hongwen.

"Duke Zhen should be arrested without a fight, let's act according to the imperial decree, maybe there will be a little temptation left, if not"

Hearing this, Duke Zhen smiled, but the smile was full of silence, the defeat was already settled, what else could he hope for?

What's left?It was nothing more than a crime, and he didn't think the other party would leave him with blood or anything.

"I lost, and I am very clear about the result. I just ask King Jin to finally agree to one condition."

"Oh? Tell me about it?"

Lord Zhen Guo turned around and looked at the loyal subordinates who had been subdued.

"His Royal Highness, King Jin, please raise your hands high and give me a way out for these former brothers."

"Naturally, they are my soldiers in Dongzhou. Naturally, this king will not question them for no reason."

Lord Zhen nodded, smiled silently, looked around, shook his head, and said nothing.

A generation of powerful ministers has come to an end at this moment.

The moment Duke Zhen was taken away, King Jin also breathed a sigh of relief.

It is good news for the current situation that the biggest source of civil strife in Dongzhou has been completely wiped out.

When the news came back to the capital, Emperor Hongwen happily laughed for a long time in the imperial study.

The biggest trouble in his heart was finally solved.

At the same time, Lu Yaoyao also got the news.

"It's a good thing. It doesn't look long before Beichu will retreat, and Dongzhou will have a few more years to breathe."

What she said was true. Bei Chu soon knew the news that Lord Zhen Guo had been taken down and the military power in the North had changed hands.

Ten days later, the Northern Chu army retreated and stopped their follow-up actions on Dongzhou.

At the same time, the southern border also fell silent.

Maybe they didn't expect that Duke Zhen, an invincible guy, would be taken down so lightly.

They are all waiting for Lord Zhen Guo to break out. As long as the civil turmoil breaks out in Dongzhou, they will be able to take advantage of it.

But the result was like this, which really disappointed them.

It is worth mentioning that Bei Chu's retreat at this time has once again pushed Duke Zhen to the forefront.

Many people firmly believe that Duke Zhen and Bei Chu must have cooperated. Otherwise, why would Bei Chu run away as soon as Beidi changed its master?
Before, he was still too arrogant.

And this firm belief made Zhen Guogong's life a lot sad.

However, from the moment when Lord Zhen Guo handed over the Northland, he already knew what his end would be. Regarding these things, he had nothing to hold back.

"What does Duke Zhen think about the rumors outside?"

In the big camp, King Jin calmly looked at the indifferent Duke Zhen and asked.

"That's the truth, what else can you think?"

Lord Zhen raised his head slightly. He did have some cooperation with Bei Chu.

"His Royal Highness, do you trust him that much?"

Hearing this, King Jin shook his head and said, "I've never trusted it, it's just a cooperation between you and me."

He knew who Zhen Guogong was referring to.

Emperor Hongwen, he really didn't fully trust him, as he said, it was just a cooperation between you and me.

For now, this cooperative relationship is relatively good, and he is satisfied with the sincerity of cooperation given by Emperor Hongwen.

"Yes, how could you trust him?"

"He is indeed a very powerful person. My country's father underestimated him so much that he ended up today."

Hearing this, King Jin didn't answer, and glanced at Lord Zhen Guo, he knew very well what Lord Zhen Guo meant by what he said at this time.

But he didn't take it to heart at all.

Duke Zhen is not clear about some things, but he is very clear that Emperor Hongwen should not be underestimated.

"In a few days, this king will return to the capital with the Duke of the country. I'm afraid there will be no chance to sit and chat like this in the future."

"How about a drink?"

"it is good."

Lord Zhen nodded.

Soon Yan Yi brought the food and wine.

"Actually, this king has always had a question, why did you do that in the first place?"

Hearing this, Lord Zhen drank a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Ren Gao went away. In the original situation, if he didn't get up, what would happen to me?"

Before Emperor Hongwen ascended the throne, Lord Zhen Guo was his eldest brother-in-law and also the Marquis of Zhenbei in Beidi, holding a lot of military power in his hands.

If Emperor Hongwen hadn't ascended the throne, and other princes ascended to this position, I'm afraid none of them would accommodate him.

"When did you know, he wasn't."

"This is actually just an accident. If I had known earlier, how could I have married my sister to him? After all, he at that time was only in the middle and lower reaches of the kings."

King Jin nodded his head, this is true, his elder brothers were all very strong back then, compared with them, Emperor Hongwen was really not good enough.

If Zhen Guogong had known that Emperor Hongwen was not from the Xiao family, he might not have chosen him. After all, the risk of choosing him was too great.

"I also discovered this secret when he helped clear the palace after he ascended to the throne."

"It's also because I'm too greedy. This country is very beautiful, and that seat is also very attractive. Throughout the ages, many people have gone down the road of no return because of it."

King Jin was silent, he believed what Lord Zhen Guo said.

That seat is indeed very attractive, hasn't he always thought about it?
It was only after meeting Lu Yaoyao that he had a different view on that seat.
