Zhu Tai was panicking at this time. He had always understood the situation in Ezhou, but to what extent it had reached was not very clear.
Initially, his influence in Ezhou and Chaotang was barely able to compete with Zhu Kun's.
However, everything has changed since Zhu Kun took back the princess of Wanxiang Kingdom.
It's not surprising that the officials in the court are very sharp-eyed and can adapt to the situation. His reputation was ruined because of the Danfeng Tower incident last time. It is conceivable that Zhu Kun has won the favor of the Princess of Wanxiang Kingdom.
Those who took advantage of the situation all turned towards Zhu Kun.
This also caused his influence in the court and Ezhou to plummet, so that we only have a general understanding of the situation in Ezhou.
It was said that the Red Lotus Sect was causing trouble, but I never expected that it would be so serious that they would rebel.
Rebellion is not fun. As a prince, it is even more dangerous in such a situation. If you do not do well, the rebels will use it to sacrifice the flag.
So it's normal to be panicked.
But this guy was quite brave. At least he didn't turn around directly, or he knew that if he turned around like this, everything would be over.
It's almost like running away from the battlefield. If this is added to the already infamous reputation, it will definitely be completely hopeless.
That's why he wanted to take a chance.
At this moment, he was speeding towards the dock with the escort.
After all, the great talent is the famous King of the Southwest, and he is granted the title of Xu. As long as he joins the great talent, his safety will be guaranteed, so...
"How is it going?"
Although he walked towards the dock, Zhu Tai did not forget to pay attention to the development of the situation.
The guard asked quickly and said: "Back to Your Highness, the news just came that Ezhou Yamen has been lost."
"How can it be!"
Zhu Tai blurted out, "What does the prefect of Ezhou do for a living? How could he lose it so easily?"
"Isn't it still Zhang Weimin? There are also many Feilong guards in the Supervision Bureau. How could..."
The guard said: "The specific situation is unknown, but there are too many workers in Ezhou New City and the whole city is in a state of shock. In addition, the Red Lotus Sect is causing chaos and deliberately inciting the situation. The situation is very not optimistic."
Zhu Tai's face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The situation was obviously beyond his imagination. He originally thought that the Ezhou Yamen should be able to stabilize the situation. He stayed away from Ezhou City and went to the dock without any serious problems.
When Lin Qingfeng arrives, there will be no problem.
But who would have thought that the Yamen would be captured? This is simply...
He immediately asked: "Has Lin Qingfeng arrived?"
The guard shook his head and said: "Back to Your Highness, I'm not sure yet."
Although it is estimated that it will arrive soon, no one can say exactly when it will arrive.
This also made Zhu Tai feel uncertain.
It is obviously not only Zhu Tai who is concerned about when the great talent will arrive, but also Zhang Weimin, Hua Xingwen and others.
Especially the latter. At the moment, the two of them were in an attic not far from the prefect's Yamen. Standing in the attic, they could faintly see everything in the prefect's Yamen.
Hua Xingwen was watching, seeing countless workers occupying the prefect's Yamen and making various noisy sounds, and his face could not help but turn slightly pale.
He said: "Mr. Zhang, what should we do? The Yamen has been captured. If the superiors blame us..."
As the magistrate of Ezhou, the people of Ezhou rebelled, which was absolutely unforgivable to him. Stability was the first priority at all times.
There was a big mess in Ezhou, and he could not be blamed for it.
However, facing Zhang Weimin and the second prince behind him, he had no say and could only obey orders.
In contrast, Zhang Weimin still looked calm and composed, saying: "Master Hua, don't be nervous, just relax. The court has no money to give to those workers, and some people are deliberately fanning the flames. This matter has nothing to do with you and me."
"With the Second Prince here, I will definitely keep you safe."
Hua Xingwen said: "Where's Mr. Zhang! That's what I said, but the workers are rebelling. We should take some action and we can't let them do whatever they want."
Zhang Weimin smiled and said: "No rush! Lord Hua, you might as well take a look first before talking."
Hua Xingwen didn't know why.
At this time, a soldier came in and said, "Report to Mr. Zhang that the rebels have raised the banner of the King of Southwest, saying that the court is fatuous and that Southwest is the king."
this?
Hua Xingwen's face froze and he looked at Zhang Weimin in surprise. No wonder the other party was so calm. These workers actually rebelled in the name of the Southwest King?
Then he, the prefect of Ezhou, had a suitable reason for whether he should take action against these people from the Southwest King.
However, such a big hat is placed on the head of the Southwest King...
Hua Xingwen felt a little weak, but there seemed to be no turning back.
However, Zhang Weimin's lips curled up with a hint of pride, and he said, "Master Hua, don't worry now, right? Lin Qingfeng is the culprit of all the crimes. It was Lin Qingfeng who persuaded the businessmen to leave, then drained Ezhou New City's funds, and finally incited the people to rebel."
"Everything has been planned by Lin Qingfeng for a long time and has nothing to do with you and me."
Hua Xingwen's eyes jumped wildly.
Good guy!
The King of Southwest has already had a falling out with His Majesty. If this matter spreads again, wouldn’t it be...
Zhang Weimin was extremely proud and continued: "Isn't Lin Qingfeng going to clean up the mess in Ezhou? It's up to me to see how he cleans up the current situation."
At this time, another soldier came in and said a few words in his ear.
Zhang Weimin's eyes widened and he murmured: "Third prince? You didn't leave? That would be even more interesting. If the third prince is involved, the second prince will no longer have a rival."
"Master Hua, just wait and see the show! What you did today will be truthfully reported to His Highness the Second Highness. You will benefit from it in the future."
Hua Xingwen's face was stiff and he could only smile, "Thank you for your cultivation."
at the same time.
In another attic, a man in green robes was also looking at the prefect's Yamen not far away. Beside him was a man in black, who was reporting on the situation inside the Yamen.
"What are you talking about? The imperial court is mediocre and the southwest is king?"
The man in green robe was full of surprise.
The man in black said: "Back to Master Qinglian, it is indeed true. There were many other people mixed in among those workers, and they killed half of the government servants."
The green-robed man's eyes flickered, and then an intriguing smile appeared on his lips, "Interesting, it seems that someone can't wait to embarrass the Southwest King."
The man in black said: "Then what should we do?"
The green-robed man smiled and said: "Since they have carried the banner of the Southwest King, the only thing that will help them is that it doesn't matter whose banner it is, the important thing is chaos."
"Only when there is complete chaos will there be good things to watch."
"Besides, wouldn't it be more interesting if the Southwest King really gets involved? The Southwest King is powerful and has never seen any movement. Now that someone is forcing him to rebel and rebel under his banner, can the Dog Emperor still hold back?"
"If that's the case, it would be more interesting, wouldn't it?"
The man in green robe had a playful smile on his lips.
