After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

With Yu Zizhen, the jewel that he and Princess Zhenbei pushed out with their own hands, in front of him, the anxious King Zhenbei looked at his sons and felt upset no matter how he looked at them.

Ever since Yu Zizhen's true identity was exposed, Yu Zicheng and others have been disliked by him. At first, they were not convinced, but now they have stopped trying to compete with Yu Zizhen because the gap is getting bigger.

They even felt that if their father was destined to fail to reach the summit, it would be better for Yu Zizhen to be the one who could take that position in the future, rather than Duke Jingguo or someone else.

Although Yu Zizhen has not gotten along with the people in Zhenbei Palace very much, their blood relationship with her is real. Judging from her previous performance, she still has some affection for them. As long as they are more honest, she will most likely They will not be exterminated to death.

Most of the staff of Prince Zhenbei's Mansion, who knew that they had reached a dead end and that there was no possibility of a comeback, had the same idea as the sons of Prince Zhenbei.

After they read the letter of persuasion sent by Yu Zizhen to persuade him to surrender, they began to tactfully persuade King Zhenbei who was in a very complicated mood.

With their help in analyzing the pros and cons, King Zhenbei was still unhappy, but in the end his reason prevailed. With everyone's persuasion, he was determined to accept Yu Zizhen's suggestion and lead everyone under his command to join her.

Even earlier than the Zhenbei Palace, Duke Jing, who was aware of current affairs, personally took several staff and guards to see Yu Zizhen.

It should be said that although he and King Zhenbei hated Yu Zizhen who came from behind, they were very confident in Yu Zizhen's character and character.

If he were Yu Zizhen, Duke Jing would not dare to go into battle in person like this, but as long as he thought that the person he was about to face was Yu Zizhen, who was straight-talking and true to his word, he would feel weird. He wasn't worried at all about what the other party would do to him.

As expected, Yu Zizhen not only did not take the opportunity to kill him, but also treated Chen Hushan very respectfully because she had been her classmate.

Duke Jingguo is an old man, and of course he will not make a show of Qiao in front of Yu Zizhen just because he lowers his profile.

Yu Zizhen gave him face, and of course he had to take advantage of the opportunity to give him face.

The two exchanged polite but warm greetings for a while, and then Duke Jing smiled and explained the purpose of his visit - he agreed to surrender, and he would not negotiate terms with Yu Zizhen regarding military power and land, but he made a proposal regardless of Yu Zizhen. An exchange condition that I cannot agree to.

He wanted a marriage between the Chen family and Yu Zizhen, and the marriage partner was none other than his eldest grandson Chen Hushan.

He has already fully seen what Yu Zizhen is capable of. Duke Jing has long stopped dreaming about killing her and eroding her power. Now he simply wants to marry the future emperor, and then let the Chen family use this opportunity to strengthen their relationship. Just one step further.

He said to Yu Zizhen: "You and Hushan have been studying together in the capital for ten years, and you know him very well. Marry him as your imperial husband."

"No, no, no!" Yu Zizhen waved his hands repeatedly with a look of horror on his face, "To tell you the truth, I have always treated Hushan as a real brother, and getting married to a real brother, this, this is really too harsh. It's against the rules. It’s against human ethics!”

Duke Jingguo: God’s damn brother!
Yu Zizhen: They are brothers, half-brothers!

Duke Jing was determined not to give up, and was about to recommend his other grandsons to Yu Zizhen, when Yu Zizhen, who was pretending to be shy, suddenly said: "And I already have someone I like."

Duke Jingguo:? ? ? Duke Jingguo:! ! !

All of Yu Zizhen's subordinates present had blank expressions on their faces. Yes, not only that, she had already pulled the person into the palm of her hand. She also doesn’t know how the other dignified prince was coaxed into thinking about her and paying for her wholeheartedly.

Duke Jing's eyes quickly scanned the faces of Yu Zizhen's subordinates, and their expressions confirmed to him that Yu Zizhen was really not lying.

He was very sorry and curious, "I wonder which family is so lucky?"

After being almost sold by his fourth uncle, Chen Hushan, who was almost sold by his grandfather, said he was not convinced: Do you think being favored by Yu Zizhen is a blessing? What is your vision?
Yu Zizhen also feels that Xiao Yuanjin is very lucky. You know, this guy has been protected by her since he was a child.

If it weren't for this guy who really helped her a lot in the process of conquering the city and handling government affairs, and also showed her amazing talent and brains, she wouldn't be thinking about how to get him into the situation. In his own bowl, let him continue to work for me without complaint.

"The candidate will be kept secret for the time being. When I succeed in capturing the other person's heart, I will report the good news to you."

Duke Jingguo clicked his tongue inwardly. He did not expect that there would be a second foolish man like his eldest grandson in the world who was not attracted to Yu Zizhen, who represented the supreme authority.

Knowing that Yu Zizhen had also been rejected, Duke Jing was immediately relieved that he had been rejected. He discussed with Yu Zizhen the details of Duke Jing's surrender, and then took his staff and guards back to arrange the surrender. .

What he didn't know was that Yu Zizhen was not rejected. She was just as busy as a spinning top, so she didn't even bother to pursue her favorite candidate for the royal wife.

Not long after Duke Jingguo left, the envoy from King Zhenbei also arrived at Xuzhou City, where Yu Zizhen is now located.

They told Yu Zizhen that King Zhenbei was also willing to surrender to her, but he asked Yu Zizhen to cancel the restriction on whether his family members could stay in Beijing.

Yu Zizhen shook his head and refused without thinking, "If he doesn't want to be separated from his wife and children, then he should give up his military power and stay in Beijing to rest in peace."

After a pause, she continued: "Jing Guo Gong has already negotiated the details of his surrender with me. It is impossible for me to give him the same surrender conditions as King Zhenbei. Don't tell me that he is my father, he is my ancestor. From the perspective of governing the country, I will never do such things as change orders day and night and destroy the Great Wall just because I care about family ties."

The messenger was speechless. They said to themselves, as expected, this Yu Zizhen is just a bastard with no respect for his elders. But unfortunately, they had nothing to do with Yu Zizhen, a bastard.

They surrendered only after they were defeated. If they insist on taking Qiao, if they insist on taking advantage of them, can't they continue to use the army to greet them?

The situation was stronger than the people, and the envoys gave up the idea of ​​gaining more rights for the King of Zhenbei in despair.

However, they still had different opinions on the matter of the throne.
