Pang Tianshou, the eunuch in charge of the Nanjing Imperial Household Department, shook his head vigorously: "No, absolutely not! Fujian is Zheng Zhilong's territory. Since he sent out the troops, he has either not put in any effort or has been defeated in every battle."

"There are only two possible outcomes if you go to Fujian: either you are taken hostage by Zheng Zhilong, or you are betrayed by him."

Cao Rong pointed at Pang Tianshou's nose and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Pang Tianshou replied: "Anywhere is fine, as long as it's not Fujian."

"Bah, nonsense!" Cao Rong spat at Pang Tianshou and turned to look at Zhu Cilang: "Your Highness, the only person we can count on now is Zheng Zhilong! But Pang Tianshou took this opportunity to alienate the relationship between you and Zheng Zhilong. He is so cruel, so cruel!"

Ren Jun suggested: "Your Highness, please behead him immediately and set the court right."

Several ministers jumped out to respond: "I second the motion."

"I second this motion."

Pang Tianshou immediately counterattacked: "Zheng Zhilong and Fujian are a pit of fire, and you are pushing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the pit of fire. It is you who should be beheaded in public, not me!"

"I second the motion. Kill them all."

"Yes, they are in cahoots with Zheng Zhilong and want to harm Your Highness!"

The Chunhe Hall is not big, but it is crowded with people.

Everyone attacked each other and the scene soon became chaotic.

Wang Duo, the newly appointed Minister of Rites of Nanjing, shouted: "Everyone, stop arguing and listen to me."

Everyone subconsciously shut up and looked at Wang Duo.

The scene soon returned to silence.

Under everyone's gaze, Wang Duo slowly said: "You can't go to Fujian!"

Pang Tianshou nodded vigorously: "That's right, we must not go to Fujian!"

Wang Duo rolled his eyes at Pang Tianshou and said, "But we can't just find a random place."

Ren Jun, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and Pang Tianshou asked at the same time: "Where are you going?"

Wang Duo answered seriously: "Go to Yunnan and seek refuge with the Duke of Qian!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with a chorus of opposition.

"Come on, going to Yunnan is like walking into a trap!"

"Yeah, that's a totally bad idea!"

"That's very well said. Don't say it next time."
