Chapter 588
Chapter 588
From a geographical point of view alone, King Ning's strength is closer to Shu.
Even if Zhou Zhiruo has the support of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, once she returns to Shu, won't she be out of reach?
But this is the capital after all.
We still have to give what is due.
However, there was a hint of irony in his respect for Zhou Zhiruo.
Love the house and the bird?
What this means is that the Heavenly Master's preference for you, Zhou Zhiruo, is because of the man named Xu Shan.
Naturally, Zhou Zhiruo heard this and, while maintaining outward politeness, decided not to stay here.
'Pah-ta-ta.'
However, the hurried footsteps of dozens of female officials and palace guards on the imperial road leading to the Fengtian Palace still attracted the attention of representatives from various sects.
The representatives of the various sects present had already heard about what was happening in the court.
This was due to the Donglin Party's hype and the secret instigation of the Jinyiwei.
It seems that as far as everyone knows, Lord Xu is doomed this time.
After all, if there was no solid evidence to prove the Jiangnan gentry, Your Majesty would definitely push Xu Shan out to take the blame in order to maintain stability.
What's more, even the Donglin Party's chief minister, Lin Ruopu, invited the "King Whip" to the court, and with the help of Prince Ning...
Even if the emperor's grace is great and the heavenly master favors you, you will still fall from the altar.
Given how much Ning Wang and the Donglin Party hate Xu Shan, it will be difficult for him to make a comeback in the future.
"After arriving in Beijing, I have heard of Lord Xu's reputation."
"I am in awe of this young and powerful man who holds a high position at such a young age."
"Tsk tsk..."
"But this time, he seems to have incurred the wrath of heaven and man."
"Master Zhou, if he is taken back to the capital, please send him your regards on behalf of the Songshan Sect."
"I also want to express my respect for him."
The Songshan School, which belongs to the Central Plains, is one of the few available chess pieces under Cao Zhengchun.
Now that Prince Ning and the Donglin Party have joined forces and have a common enemy, they naturally form a group.
"The Qingcheng Sect is also like this!"
Yu Canghai, who appeared respectful, clasped his fists and added.
"Wu Di City, too!"
At this moment, Gong Banque naturally heard the two sect leaders' sly, veiled riposte to the injustice he had just suffered...
Therefore, I also expressed my position.
"Huashan Sect, same."
"Flying Tiger Gang, second the motion."
……
For a time, many representatives of the sects that were affiliated with Prince Ning and the Donglin Party came together to echo!
Express respect for Xu Shan?
Look at his joke!
As these representatives spoke, their eyes glanced in the direction of the Divine Machine Hub.
This move was not only aimed at Zhou Zhiruo and the Emei Sect, but also at an alternative resistance against the tyranny of the Shen Ji Shu priests.
Even though you, the Divine Machine Hub, are surrounded by powerful people, are you planning to wipe out all the martial arts sects?
"Tsk tsk!"
Taoist Wuqing naturally heard the hidden meaning in the words and shook his head with a smile.
Then he said to Zhou Zhiruo, "Master Zhou, please write down all the friendly greetings from the sect representatives and the master for Master Xu."
"When he comes back, I'll go to each of them to return the gifts."
After saying this, Taoist Wu Qing glanced at them with disdain and said, "The ignorant are fearless!"
'Pah-ta-ta.'
Just as Taoist Wuqing finished speaking, an imperial guard carrying a small flag hurried into the hall.
Everyone who is familiar with this knows that this is an urgent report.
"Great victory in Jiangnan, great victory in Jiangnan!"
"what?"
Upon hearing this, all the sect representatives present were subconsciously stunned.
Great victory in Jiangnan?
What happened in Jiangnan?
Not long after, outside the Fengtian Hall, the screams of the imperial guard were faintly heard by the representatives.
"Your Majesty, Duke Qing colluded with the Japanese pirates and the remnants of the Demon Sealing Clan to launch a surprise attack on the Jiangnan Navy's station in Yingzhou last night."
"Thankfully, Imperial Envoy Xu orchestrated a brilliant plan. This morning, we completely wiped out the main force of the Japanese pirates, numbering over 10,000 men, and beheaded over 20 Kagezoe-class pirates."
"This battle can ensure that the Jiangnan coast will be worry-free for several years."
'Wow.'
The representatives of the various sects who had just been worried about Xu Shan's future were suddenly in an uproar after vaguely hearing this.
Before they could react, several more urgent voices, deliberately increased in volume by the female officials and palace guards, resounded throughout the palace.
Shen Jishu had no intention of keeping this matter secret, and wanted to spread everything that happened in the court today throughout the capital quickly.
"Suzhou Prefecture, urgent news from eight hundred miles away."
"Your Majesty, Imperial Envoy Xu has used a clever tactic to force Duke Qing to reveal his true identity. Over one million taels of tax silver lost from Jiangnan has been recovered by the Imperial Guards."
"According to investigation, the Suzhou nobles involved included Jia, Hu, Li... and others!"
"unambiguous evidence."
"Report..."
One wave is not flat, another wave rises!
While the representatives of the sects outside the Shenjishu were still digesting these contents.
They saw that the palace guards, led by the commander of the imperial guards Li Xujiu, were dragging the representatives of the Suzhou aristocracy who had come to Beijing to file a complaint with the emperor, and were walking towards the outside of the palace.
Among them, the already "dead" old lady Jia was even carried out.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we acknowledge our guilt."
"Your Majesty, please give us a chance to make amends. We are willing..."
'Snapped. '
Without waiting for the representatives of the aristocratic families to finish their words, Li Xujiu, who was trying to teach them a lesson, slapped the people who shouted the loudest in the face and knocked them unconscious.
"Join forces and go to the capital to impeach Xu Shan?"
"You probably don't know his vindictive nature."
"Escort him to the dungeon and wait for Lord Xu's triumphant return before conducting an interrogation."
"Yes!"
'boom.'
Li Xujiu's words on the Imperial Road were like invisible slaps in the face of all the sect representatives who were gloating over the misfortune.
As a result, their heads were buzzing and they stood there in amazement.
