Chapter 497 Forced to Be Loyal

Chapter 497 Forced to Be Loyal

Wang Xijue, Liu Yingjie, Zhang Xueyan and others couldn't help looking at each other after hearing this.

And then, Hu Runing went up to impeach Huguang Governor Luo Zun and Governor Yan Jingzu for colluding with the King of Chu to plot a great rebellion.

As soon as this performance was played, the whole court shook.

Soon there was a censor, Rao Shen, who defended Luo Zun and Yan Jingzu, saying that this was impossible, roughly meaning that these two people were not so stupid.

Immediately, Wang Yao, Youcheng of Dali Temple, Yang Ji in Geshizhong, Cheng Zongyi, Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, etc., defended Luo Zun and Yan Jingzu.

Shen Shixing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, resolutely followed the wishes of these civil servants according to the holy will, and accused Hu Runing of slandering his clan relatives and arbitrarily slandering Xinjiang, and demoted him to a foreign post.

At this time, Huguang Mansion.

Luo Zunzheng met Chu Wang Changshi Wang Bihe secretly in the private garden of the palace.

"Yangluo Town has [-] wind-chasing blunderbusses that will be shipped to our standard battalion. Your Highness can go there to get them after the incident. I have arranged for you to take care of the blunderbuss."

Luo Zun spoke to Wang Bihe.

Wang Bihe nodded after hearing this.

"When you start an incident, the court will leave Wuchang early."

Luo Zun said again.

Wang Bihe nodded again, and said with a smile: "With Fuyuan's secret assistance, great things can be expected."

Luo Zun did not continue this topic, but only talked about his plan for the next step: "After raising troops, I should advise Your Highness to take Jingzhou and Xiangfan quickly, and finally occupy Yueyang and Jiujiang, and then go east to attack Huaining. Don't attack Jiangxi, but You are in danger! In addition, let His Highness seal off the water transportation as soon as possible, rely on the south of the Yangtze River to stand on your own, and don’t be in a hurry to become emperor. You should first train a strong army, stockpile food and fodder, and at the same time abolish the New Deal to win people’s hearts. This may be possible.”

"That's exactly what the public said."

"I have already persuaded His Highness to start a policy of winning people's hearts every time he gets a place."

"The first is to restore the ancestral system, abolish the examination, abolish the Privy Council, abolish the Zhengshitang, abolish the Imperial Secretary, return the power to the six ministries, and restore the gentry's preferential exemption."

"Secondly, stop fighting, reduce the number of troops, withdraw the chief ministers of Dongying and Daning, and re-ban the sea and border trade, so that there will be no disputes in the world."

"Then it is to share the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, not with the common people, withdraw factory guards, abolish the system of informants, extend punishment and prison, make scholars the head of the four peoples, and bring rites back to the right path."

Wang Bihe said at this moment.

Luo Zun nodded after hearing this, and then sighed: "I hope things can come true!"

"It's just that the salary is not enough now, so we can't recruit too many soldiers for a while. I wonder if the Fuyuan can move the money from the chief secretary's treasury to help His Highness start an incident?"

Wang Bihe asked suddenly at this moment.

After hearing this, Luo Zun stood up and said, "Your Highness has accumulated millions of dollars, why is it not enough for salary?"

"However, His Highness said that he doesn't have much money, mainly because the government's expenses are too large, not to mention money matters, for Xing Wangye, naturally, the more the better."

Wang Bihe said.

Luo Zun thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Wang Bihe said: "Then can the three thousand guns not be charged?"

"That won't work!"

"Of course I don't have to accept it, but you have to give it away."

Luo Zun rejected Wang Bihe without hesitation.

After hearing this, Wang Bihe stretched out his hand to slap the table, but took it back again, and said, "Then, I can only suggest that His Highness charge more rent for the tenants of the Wangfu estate."

"It's okay for the farmers to suffer a lot. As members of the palace, they should naturally contribute more to His Highness's great cause and suffer more."

"Their benefits will be indispensable in future meetings."

After Luo Zunyan said that, he added: "But after the army is raised, you can't blackmail the big gentry, but also protect the shops, otherwise you will be no different from bandits!"

Wang Bihe knew that Luo Zun's relatives had a lot of property in Huguang, so he didn't advocate blackmailing the big family, so he just nodded and said:

"Please don't worry about Fu Yuan! But it would be better if we can temporarily transfer the Fan Bank to us now. If it is really not possible, you can lend it to our Highness first, how about it?"

"I'll think about it, I'll think about it seriously, it's a good idea."

After Luo Zun answered, he saw Wu Zheng, his aide, walking quickly, and said with a serious face, "Dong Weng, there is news from the capital."

Luo Zun asked, "What news?"

"Hu Runing impeached you and the inspector for colluding with His Royal Highness the King of Chu to conspire against you during the matter of Li Keyou, and suggested that the imperial court quickly deprive you of the nine clans!"

Wu Zheng replied at this time.

Luo Zun stood up immediately after hearing this, and then froze in place again.

"How did he, Hu Runing, know?"

After hearing this, Wang Bihe looked at Luo Zun with a complicated expression.

Luo Zun also noticed Wang Bihe's gaze at this moment, and asked him, "Know what?"

Wang Bihe replied: "Naturally, it is difficult for Feng Tianjing to do so."

Luo Zun didn't answer, just turned around and walked out.

Wu Zheng followed all the way.

Wang Bihe shouted at this moment: "Come on!"

Not long after, more than a dozen palace guards stopped Luo Zun and his party.

Luo Zun didn't bring any soldiers because he was afraid of letting things go, but only a few servants.

Therefore, when Luo Zun was stopped by these palace guards, he had no choice but to stop and ask, "What does the Lord want to do?"

"Naturally, I invite you to join us with His Royal Highness."

"After all, things have been defeated at the moment, and we can't afford to fight."

Wang Bihe said.

Luo Zun pretended to be surprised: "So, His Highness really wants to plot chaos, and what Hu Sishan said is not groundless?"

Wang Bihe: "..."

Luo Zun laughed again and said, "Who is going to cause trouble with you? This Court has always been loyal to the imperial court. It will only report the crimes of the public and others. How can it make peace with the public and seek chaos!"

As Luo Zun said, he said righteously: "Do it! The only thing you can do now is to kill this court!"

Wang Bihe came over after hearing this, and suddenly asked Luo Zun in a low voice, "Is this the only way?"

Luo Zun had no choice but to smile bitterly, and said in a low voice, "What else can I do?"

As he said that, Luo Zun sighed and said, "There is an expert in the court! I must die!"

"Come here, take Luo Fuyuan to see His Highness!"

"Tell Your Highness that now we can only calm down in advance!"

Wang Bihe gave orders loudly.

Not long after, Luo Zun was brought before King Chu.

The King of Chu also learned about Hu Runing's impeachment of Luo Zun and Yan Jingzu's collusion with him from Wang Bihe, and was shocked: "How did the court know?"

"Why do you need to ask again, Your Highness, it's either the secret work of the factory guards, or the villains in our mansion took the initiative to spread the news."

Wang Bihe said at this time.

"Luo Fuyuan is only from the nine clans. If you help me succeed, I will have children and grandchildren in the future, and even enshrine the country to worship the minister. It is better than being loyal to Zhu Yijun now."

"Besides, don't you hate him very much?"

Zhu Huakui, king of Chu, looked at Luo Zun at this moment.

The king of Chu obviously didn't want to kill Luo Zun. After all, he hoped to use Luo Zun's advantage as the governor of Huguang to make it easier for him to obey Tian Jing.

But Luo Zun said directly at this time: "His Royal Highness Chu, please don't talk nonsense. This court has always respected your father as the sky, how dare you bully him?! Now I only advise His Highness not to repeat the mistakes of Zhu Chenhao. If His Highness does not Ken, just give this hospital a good time!"

After hearing this, the king of Chu still had no choice but to wave his hands: "Drag it, cut it off!"

Therefore, Luo Zun was dragged down.

Swish!

Not long after, Luo Zun was beheaded by the king of Chu.
