Chapter 212 Liu Rushi disrupts the situation

As soon as he finished speaking, two beautiful figures had already entered the side hall gracefully. The man in front of him was wearing bright red silk skirts, with gentle and virtuous behavior, and looked even more beautiful. It was Chen Yuanyuan. The girl following Chen Yuanyuan was tall, wearing a lake green silk skirt, looking straight, and her behavior showed a heroic spirit.

Chen Yuanyuan bowed to Sun Chuanting and said in a sweet voice: "My daughter-in-law has met her godfather."

Sun Chuanting smiled and said, "Haha, no gift."

Following the girl behind Chen Yuanyuan, she also bowed to Sun Chuanting slightly, and Sun Chuanting said, "This girl is..."

Before Chen Yuanyuan could speak, the girl had already said softly: "Little girl Liu Rushi, see Lord Sun."

"Uh, it turns out it's Miss Liu." Sun Chuanting stroked his beard and said, "I have been recognizing my reputation for a long time, but I don't know what the girl said just now?"

Liu Rushi said: "Mr. Sun, you have not been in Jiangnan for a while and don't know much about the people in Donglin Fushe, but the little girl has been in Jiangnan for many years. She interacts with these Confucian scholars in Donglin Fushe every day, and knows their nature well! The Donglin Fushe is no longer the Donglin Party in the Wanli period."

Sun Chuanting asked Liu Rushi in sternly, Chen Yuanyuan took the seat, and he also sat down and asked, "Can Miss Liu explain it clearly?"

Liu Rushi said: "Mr. Sun, the Donglin Party members in the Wanli period, such as Gao Panlong, Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian, etc., were all loyal ministers. For the foundation of the country, for the country, and for the people of the Ming Dynasty, they could abandon their heads and shed their blood to fight to the death. Therefore, the dispute over the foundation of the country that year has been passed down to be a legend for the ages."

"I know this." Sun Chuanting said, "I admire Gao Panlong and others very much."

Liu Rushi said: "But now Donglin Fushe is extremely intriguing and extorting one's ability. He has long lost the integrity of the Donglin Party members back then. If the adults reveal the news that the prince and General Wang Pu came to the south, the young woman thought that the Donglin Fushe would definitely collude with Ma Shiying and harm the prince and General Wang Pu halfway."

Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice: "They dare!"

"Sir." Liu Rushi said calmly, "There is nothing they dare not do!"

Sun Chuanting's expression changed a lot, and finally realized that what Liu Rushi said was not without reason. Having a way is to harm others, but beingware of others is necessary. If the people from Donglin Fushe are brave and dare to harm the prince, Wang Pu and others halfway, wouldn't Sun Chuanting become a sinner forever?

Thinking of this, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but burst into a cold sweat and said in a cold voice: "Miss Liu, what should we do now?"

Liu Rushi said: "It is imperative to support the new king. Even if you want to stop it, you can't stop it. But you are not powerless to fight back. Now you have a good move to stir up the scene of supporting the new king. Just delay it for ten days and half a month, and when General Wang Pu escorts the prince back to Nanjing, you can turn the situation around in one fell swoop."

"Oh?" Sun Chuanting said happily, "What good chess?"

Liu Rushi said: "Now, send someone to contact the honorary relatives in Nanjing City to jointly support King Fu!"

Sun Chuanting frowned and said, "Support King Fu?"

"Yes, support King Fu." Liu Rushi said, "If the little girl expected it was not bad, Donglin Fushe would definitely support King Lu, because they were afraid that after King Fu took office, they would overturn the case of the country's foundation. As long as the adults and the honorary relatives in Nanjing insisted on supporting King Fu, this matter would be in a stalemate!"

"Okay." Sun Chuanting said, "I'll contact Chang Yanling and Li Zushu now."

Liu Rushi said: "In addition, it is necessary to send a message to General Wang Pu, so that he can pay attention to his hidden signs along the way, and not be known by Liu Zeqing from Huai'an and Gao Jie from Yangzhou."

Sun Chuanting asked Liu Qingyan: "Can you send a message to the stinky brat?"

"Yes." Liu Qingyan said, "There is a church in Jining that is the Holy Church."

Nanjing Ministry of War.

The proposal to support the King of Lu was temporarily deadlocked. Although the vast majority of people from Donglin Fushe agreed to support the King of Lu, Keshi Kefa and Ma Shiying believed that they should support the King of Fu. There were also some officials of Ming Dynasty who only had bloodline theory and firmly supported the support for the King of Fu. The two groups quarreled for a long time, but in the end they did not make a conclusion, so they had to discuss it another day.

That night, the Donglin Fushe League advocated Zhang Pu's residence.

Donglin veteran Qian Qianyi, Liu Zongzhou, Zhang Pu, Fushe League leader, Zhou Biao, Wu Yingji, Chen Zhenhui and more than a dozen Fushe backbone gathered to discuss countermeasures.

There is only one issue, that is, no matter what, Lu Wang should be supported to the throne. In this way, Donglin Fushe will have a decisive contribution. At that time, Lu Wang can only rely on the people of Donglin Fushe to govern half of the south of the Yangtze River. In this way, Donglin Fushe will become the ruling party of the Ming Dynasty again.

Qian Qianyi said: "Everyone talks about how to promote King Lu to the throne?"

Speaking of the tricks, no one in Donglin Fu Society could get the right hand of Zhou Biao. Qian Qianyi finished speaking, and almost everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Biao.

Zhou Biao stroked his chin and said in a deep thought: "Whether to wait for the prince to come to Nanjing to succeed the throne, or support the new king as soon as possible, is it no longer a problem. The current problem is whether to support King Fu or support King Lu? Everyone here knows the grudge between our Donglin Fushe and the old King Fu. Therefore, no matter how you use, you cannot let King Fu take the throne!"

Zhang Pu said: "Zhongyu (Zhou Biaobiao), don't keep it a secret. What's the solution?"

Zhou Biao said: "In fact, as long as Ma Shiying can change his position and support the support of King Lu, this matter will be done."

"It's not easy to talk about it." Qian Qianyi said disapprovingly, "It is said that Ma Shiying has taken King Fu to his residence, and King Fu has also made private promises to him that as long as he can get to power, Ma Shiying will have the right to make a decision. In the future, he will be the Grand Secretary of the Dongge and the Chief Cabinet of the Ming Dynasty."

"Hmph." Zhou Biao sneered, "If Ma Shiying wants to make a decision, he has to ask whether our Donglin Fushe people agree."

"Oh." Liu Zongzhou said anxiously, "Where is Zhong Yu, you have something to say, hurry up."

Zhou Biao said: "There is only one way. First, drag this matter away, and then send people to Huai'an, Yangzhou and Fengyang separately to contact Liu Zeqing, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and others in private. They only have interests in their eyes, and they may not be very loyal to Ma Shiying. As long as they promise benefits, they will make up some bad deeds of King Fu. It is not difficult to convince them."

"Okay, a good plan!" Zhang Pu said, "This trick is great to remove firewood from the bottom of the pot! He Ma Shiying never dreamed that the three major towns that he was trusted by him would jointly write a letter to oppose him. Hehe, in this way, the people from our Donglin Fushe shaking flags and shouting, and in the outside, Liu Zeqing, Gao Jie, and Liu Liangzuo's three town generals echoed each other, and great things could be accomplished!"

Jining.

Liu Zeqing had already led a large army to evacuate. The bandits who entered Shandong soon received Li Zicheng's military order and were transferred back to Beijing. Shandong is now completely in anarchy. Thieves are rising and refugees are in disaster. Wang Pu and his friends heading south from Tongzhou. What they see along the way is full of people living in poverty.

Although refugees attacked the fleet on the way, they were easily repelled.

A few days later, the fleet arrived in Jining. The officials of Jining Prefecture died and fled. Jining City became a completely unprepared city. Most of the people in the city fled to the south. Only a very small number of elderly, weak, women and children who were unwilling to walk or could not walk remained, guarding this chaotic land wither.

At this time, Shandong Province can only be described in one word, that is, erosion, and erosion is extremely erosion!

The initiator of all this was not a thief, but an official army guarding this land, to be precise, Liu Zeqing's soldiers!

Wang Pu stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the wounded sides, gritted his teeth and said, "Old beast Liu Zeqing, one day I will peel him off!"

Huang Degong, Shi Lang, Zhang Monk, Zhang Yanlin and Li Ang were also filled with righteous indignation!

As the general of a town in the Ming Dynasty, it would be fine if he could not protect the territory and the people, but he actually poisoned the people like Jiannu. His behavior was even more cruel than Jiannu, and he was simply worse than beasts!

The fleet slowly moored at the Cao Transport Wharf in Jining. This area was originally the hottest urban area in Jining. There were restaurants on both sides of the streets and teahouses lined up one after another, but now it was depressing. Looking around, I didn't see a restaurant with an open shop.

"General." Huang Degong sighed, "Why eat some dry food to continue on the way?"

"etc."

Wang Pu suddenly stretched out his hand, and his eyes were attracted by a quiz stall on the dock. He could tell at a glance that Mr. Cialis was from the White Lotus Sect, and the quiz master was pronounced by Liu Qingyan who told Wang Pu that the joint incision was, which meant that there was a hundred thousand urgent news.

Wang Pu turned around and said to Shi Lang: "Go and bring that quizer here."

"yes."

Although Shi Lang felt a little strange, he didn't ask too much and took the order.

In less than a moment, Shi Lang took Mr. Cezi into Wang Pu's cabin. Wang Pu waved his hand, and Shi Lang turned and left the cabin. Wang Pu asked Mr. Cezi and said, "Are you a member of the White Lotus Sect?"

"That's right." The man named Seizi bowed with his fists and said, "The villain is the left deacon of the Jining Branch of the Holy Sect. It should be General Wang Pu, right?"

"Yes." Wang Pu nodded, "You said there was a 100,000-year-old news?"

"Yes."

The White Lotus Sect Deacon nodded, took out a small scissor from his sleeve, cut open the collar, took out a small note from it, and handed it to Wang Pu, "This is what the leader sent from Nanjing with a letter from Fei Ge. The villain has been waiting for the general on the dock for three days."

Wang Pu slowly unfolded the small note. It was indeed Liu Qingyan's handwriting. There were only a few words on it, which roughly explained the current situation in Nanjing. It is estimated that Donglin Fushe might collude with Liu Zeqing and others, which would be detrimental to the prince. Wang Pu would pay attention to his hidden traces along the way and never leak the news.

Wang Pu pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you get horses from your Jining Branch?"

The White Lotus Deacon thought about it and said, "It should be no problem to get more than twenty horses, but you won't get them any more."

"Okay." Wang Pu nodded and said, "Please wait for a moment at the dock first."

"You are welcome, General."

Deacon Bailian bowed with fists and turned around and left the cabin.

Wang Pu turned around and said to Lu Liudao: "Liu'er, go and call Huang Degong and Shi Lang in."

Lu Liu took the order and left. Soon Huang Degong and Shi Lang entered Wang Pu's cabin. The two of them clasped their fists and said, "General."

Wang Pu waved his hand and said, "Two generals, news came from Nanjing just now that the situation there was not optimistic. The governor and the prince must rush back as soon as possible, but the water route is too slow. I want to change from Jining to land route and rush back to Nanjing as quickly as possible."

"Turn on land?" Huang Degong said in a voice, "General, is it too dangerous to take land?"

"It's even more dangerous to walk on the water." Wang Pu said in a deep voice, "Our trip to Beijing has been delayed for too long. The situation in Nanjing is very complicated now. Someone may intercept the prince halfway! In this way, Monk Zhang and I led more than 20 brothers Qiao Zhuang horse thieves to protect the prince and go on land. You two led a large group of people to still walk on the water to cover up your eyes and ears."

Huang Degong and Shi Lang said solemnly: "The last general will receive the order."

Nanjing.

Sun Chuanting first contacted Wang Pu's brothers Chang Yanling and Li Zushu. These two guys have now inherited the Marquis of Huaiyuan and Linhuai, and have become Marquis. Chang Yanling and Li Zushu also contacted King Zhu Tongzheng of Jian'an, Liu Kongzhao of Chengyi, Zhao Zhilong of Xincheng, and Xu Hongji of Wei.

Nanjing Xunqiu quickly reached an agreement on his opinion and firmly supported King Fu to take office.

Since Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, honors and nobles were deprived of their power to participate in state affairs and lost their right to speak politically. Although they were after their meritorious deeds and had a transcendent title, they, like the generals of the Ming Dynasty, had no real power. The ones who were in power were the civil officials.
