Chapter 525
"Wuxi can't be saved."
Duke Qing shook his head and said meaningfully.
He knew better than anyone that neither His Majesty nor the Heavenly Master would let go of such an opportunity!
You know, Xu Shan has already handed the knife to them.
On this day, several urgent memorials, traveling over 800 miles, were sent from Wujin and Wuxi to the capital!
In the Fengtian Hall, the furious Zhu Youwei firmly controlled the right to speak.
There was no way out. The knife Xu Shan handed over was fast and sharp enough that the Donglin Party could not find any reason to smooth things over.
Colluding with bandits, endangering the local area, accepting bribes, and leading his troops in mutiny...
Today, Lin Ke has been nailed to the pillar of shame.
Even Wuxi, which was under his rule, had to be handed over!
Following the voices of "seconding" from the ministers, the troops directly under His Majesty's command immediately entered Wuxi.
At this point, Wuxi, the bridgehead of Suzhou Prefecture and connecting to Yangzhou Prefecture, was lost from the hands of the Jiangnan gentry!
But after the morning court session, Zhu Youwei hurried to the Shen Ji Shu with Ren Feng's memorial in hand.
"Tianshi, the Xu...Xu Qing mentioned above has an unknown injury. What is the specific situation?"
Yuan Tiangang, who was feeding the cranes, turned his head with a smile when he heard Zhu Youwei's anxious and worried voice and said, "Your Majesty, the governor now is just a pen in Xu Shan's hand. It is used to pass the knife to Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, only believe eight words of the contents. The rest is exaggeration."
"Which eight words?"
"The whip is too long to reach, and I will never let down the emperor's grace!"
"what?"
When Yuan Tianshi said these eight words seriously...
Zhu Youwei, who had been humiliated by Xu Shan twice, couldn't help but think of the vicious words he had said!
My thoughts are running wild, wandering outside the atmosphere.
It also made her whole pretty face turn red!
But in Yuan Tiangang's eyes, Zhu Youwei's silence seemed to indicate that she only understood half of the truth.
Then, he explained in detail: "The whip is too long to reach. To put it bluntly, it means they are asking for power for you."
"Faced with the complex and ever-changing situation in Suzhou Prefecture, if we make decisions after submitting reports on many matters, we will definitely miss the opportunity to fight."
"He wishes to place the garrison stationed in Wuxi under his full command, to prevent any special circumstances from arising that would put Your Majesty beyond his reach."
After hearing the explanation from her own Taoist priest, Zhu Youwei felt ashamed of herself.
It's me, I thought too much.
No, it was me who was led astray by Xu Shan!
"Since I have allowed Lord Xu to go south of the Yangtze River and handle this matter with full authority, I will naturally order the garrison stationed in Wuxi to fully cooperate with his actions."
After Zhu Youwei finished speaking, Yuan Tiangang solemnly stated, "It's not about cooperation, it's about obedience. Absolute obedience without any perfunctory attitude!"
Hearing this, Zhu Youwei nodded heavily and said, "I will definitely issue an order to explain everything clearly."
"Xu Shan's plan for this trip wasn't just for one person or one city, but for the entire Jiangnan region."
"Duke Qing is the backbone of the Donglin Party in Jiangnan. His downfall will accelerate the disintegration of the alliance among the Jiangnan gentry."
"For this reason, I took the initiative to hand over the few thorns that Shen Jishu had planted in Suzhou and even in the Duke of Qing's mansion to Xu Shan."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for this matter."
When Yuan Tianshi clasped his fists and bowed, Zhu Youwei hurried forward and said, "Tianshi, you are too kind."
"I trust Xu Qing."
Hearing this, Yuan Tiangang showed a kind and gratified smile on his face and said: "This kid is as amazing as always."
"Also, in order to expedite Xu Shan's actions in Jiangnan, His Majesty's daily vomiting of blood must continue. Huacishu will continue to cooperate with His Majesty."
"Only by making everyone mistakenly believe that His Majesty is dying, and then radically clearing the way for the Second Princess..."
"Be it the Donglin Party or the Ning Palace, they would make decisions based on assumptions and reveal their true colors."
After Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, Zhu Youwei nodded carefully and said, "I understand."
……
After the morning court session ended, some ministers of the Donglin Party were eager to visit Lin Ruopu, who was under house arrest.
When the servants came to report, Chief Minister Lin, who was playing chess with the patriarch of the Tianfeng tribe, Shangguan Jingteng, declined all of them.
