After hearing this, Wang Xijue, Liu Yingjie, Zhang Xueyan and others couldn't help looking at each other.
Then, Hu Runing, the right hand of Li Ke, impeached Luo Zun, the governor of Huguang, and Yan Jingzu, the governor of Huguang, for colluding with the King of Chu in order to plot a major rebellion.
As soon as this performance was played, the whole court was shocked.
Soon the censor Rao Shen defended Luo Zun and Yan Jingzu, saying that this was impossible. The general meaning was that these two people were not so stupid.
Immediately, Wang Yao, the Right Prime Minister of Dali Temple, Yang Ji in Geishizhong, Cheng Zongyi, Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and other ministers defended Luo Zun and Yan Jingzu.
Shen Shixing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, decisively followed the wishes of these superior civil servants in accordance with the holy will. He accused Hu Runing of slandering his clan and being good at making false accusations about borderland, and demoted him to a foreign post.
At this time, Huguang Mansion.
Luo Zunzheng secretly met with Wang Bihe, the chief historian of the King of Chu, in the private garden of the palace.
"Yangluo Town has a stockpile of three thousand wind-chasing blunderbuss that will be shipped to our standard camp. Your Highness can quickly go there to get them after the incident. I have arranged for the person who will take care of the big blunderbuss to be yours."
Luo Zun spoke to Wang Bihe.
Wang Bihe nodded after hearing this.
"When you start an incident, our hospital will leave Wuchang early."
Luo Zun said again.
Wang Bihe nodded again and said with a smile: "With Fu Yuan secretly helping me, great things can be expected."
Luo Zun did not continue this topic, and only talked about his next plan: "After raising the army, I should advise His Highness to quickly capture Jingzhou and Xiangfan, and finally occupy Yueyang and Jiujiang, and then go east to attack Huaining, and never attack Jiangxi. You are in danger! In addition, your Highness should block water transportation as soon as possible, and stand on your own in the south of the Yangtze River. Don't rush to proclaim yourself emperor. You should first strengthen your army, store up crops, and at the same time abolish the New Deal to win people's hearts. This may be possible."
"It's true as the public says."
"I have advised His Highness to start implementing policies to win people's hearts wherever he gets a place."
"The first is to restore the ancestral system, abolish the imperial examination, abolish the Privy Council, abolish the political affairs hall, abolish the imperial ministers, return power to the six ministries, and restore the preferential exemption of gentry."
"The second step is to cease war, reduce the number of troops, withdraw the Chief Secretary of Japan, the Chief Secretary of Daning and other government offices, and re-ban maritime and border trade, so that the world will not be able to have disputes."
"Then we need to share the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, not with the common people, remove factory guards, remove the informant system, relax sentences and prisons, put scholars at the head of the four people, and return etiquette to the right path."
Wang Bihe said at this time.
Luo Zun nodded after hearing this, and then sighed with emotion: "I hope things can come true!"
"It's just that the money is not enough right now, so we can't recruit too many soldiers at the moment. I wonder if Fuyuan can transfer the money from the Chief Secretary's treasury to help His Highness start the rebellion?"
Wang Bihe suddenly asked at this time.
After hearing this, Luo Zun stood up and said, "Your Highness has accumulated millions of dollars, how come you still don't have enough money to pay?"
"But His Highness said that he doesn't have much money. The main reason is that the government's expenses are too high. Besides, when it comes to money matters, for the prosperity of the king's business, the more the better."
Wang Bihe said.
Luo Zun thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it then."
Wang Bihe asked: "Can we have three thousand cannons without cash?"
"That won't work!"
"Of course I can refuse to accept it, but you cannot refuse to give it."
Luo Zun rejected Wang Bihe without hesitation.
After hearing this, Wang Bihe stretched out his hand to slap the table, but he took it back and said: "Then it seems that I can only suggest that His Highness charge more rent to the farmers in Wangfu Village."
"It's okay for villagers to suffer. As members of the royal palace, they should naturally contribute more to His Highness's great cause and endure more hardships."
“Their benefits will be indispensable in future memberships.”
After Luo Zunyan said that, he added: "But after raising the army, we should not extort money from the big gentry households, but we should also protect the shops, otherwise we will be no different from bandits!"
Wang Bihe knew that Luo Zun's relatives had a lot of property in Huguang, so he did not advocate blackmailing large households, so he just nodded and said:
"Please rest assured, Fuyuan! But it would be better if we can temporarily transfer the money to us for use now. If it doesn't work, you can lend it to our Highness first, how about it?"
"Let me think about it, I think about it seriously, this is a good idea."
After Luo Zun answered, he saw his staff Wu Zheng walking quickly and said solemnly: "Dong Weng, there is news from Beijing."
Luo Zun asked: "What news?"
"Hu Runing impeached you and the inspector for colluding with His Royal Highness the King of Chu to conspire in rebellion during the Li Ke right incident, and suggested that the imperial court expedite the expulsion of all nine of your clans!"
Wu Zheng replied at this time.
Luo Zun stood up immediately after hearing this, and then froze in place again.
"How did 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 time and asked him, "What do you know?"
Wang Bihe replied: "Of course it is a matter of Fengtian Jingnan."
Luo Zun didn't answer, just turned around and walked out.
Wu Zheng followed all the way.
Wang Bihe shouted loudly: "Come here!"
Not long after, more than a dozen royal guards stopped Luo Zun and his party.
Because Luo Zun was afraid of letting things slip, he didn't bring any troops, only a few servants.
Therefore, when Luo Zun was stopped by these royal guards, he had no choice but to stop and ask, "What do you want from the public?"
"Of course I would like to invite you to join us, Your Highness."
"After all, the situation is defeated now, and we can't do it even if we don't have troops."
Wang Bihe said.
Luo Zun pretended to be surprised: "So, His Highness is really planning to cause chaos, and what he said in Hu Sishan is not groundless?"
Wang Bihe: "..."
Luo Zun laughed again and said: "Who is causing trouble with you? This court has always been loyal to the imperial court. It only reports the sins of the public, how can it make peace and plot rebellion with the public!"
As Luo Zun spoke, he said righteously: "Let's do it! The only thing you can do now is to kill me!"
After hearing this, Wang Bihe came over and suddenly asked Luo Zun in a low voice: "Is this the only way?"
Luo Zun smiled helplessly and whispered: "What else can I do?"
After saying that, Luo Zun sighed and said: "There are experts in the court! I must die!"
"Come here, take Luo Fuyuan to see His Highness!"
"Tell Your Highness that now we can only provide relief in advance!"
Wang Bihe gave loud instructions.
Not long after, Luo Zun was escorted to the King of Chu.
The King of Chu also learned from Wang Bihe that Hu Runing had impeached Luo Zun and Yan Jingzu for colluding with him to rebel, and was shocked: "How did the court know?"
"Why bother asking, Your Highness? It's either the factory guards' meticulous work, or the traitors in our house took the initiative to spread the news."
Wang Bihe said at this time.
"Luofuyuan, there are only nine clans. If you help me succeed, I will have children and grandchildren in the future, and even be granted a kingdom and worship the prime minister. It will be better than being loyal to Zhu Yijun now."
"Besides, don't you hate him very much?"
Chu King Zhu Huakui looked at Luo Zun at this time.
The King of Chu obviously did not 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 appease Fengtian.
But Luo Zun directly shouted at this time: "Your Highness, King of Chu, please don't talk nonsense. This court has always regarded the king and father as heavenly. How dare you bully him?! Now I only advise your highness not to make the same mistake as Zhu Chenhao. If your highness doesn't If you are willing, please give this hospital a happy life!"
After hearing this, King Chu could only wave his hand: "Drag it down and chop it down!"
As a result, Luo Zun was dragged down.
Uh-huh!
Not long after, Luo Zun was beheaded by the King of Chu.
