Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 337 Zuo Shi personally opens the door, Zhu Youjian respectfully presents
  Nanjing City, Governor's Office.

Zuo Guangdou looked at the ragged and skinny Shi Kefa in front of him. His original harshness and anger were stuck in his throat and he couldn't let it out no matter what.

"I already know what happened in Beijing," Zuo Guangdou was not as angry and hoarse as he imagined. Zuo Guangdou's expression was unusually calm, and he even reached out to help Shi Kefa straighten his shirt collar: "Go down and rest first."

"Sir." Shi Kefa's throat trembled.

"It's not your fault, Wang Qi. He is a monster that has not appeared in the world for hundreds of years. It's normal that you can't fight him." Zuo Guangdou tried to comfort his student: "At least, Wang Qi will not really kill the king now. As long as he has a day If he doesn't proclaim himself emperor, then the emperor is safe. He can't bear the title of regicide. You can go down and rest first, and come back to see me later."

"The student is incompetent." Shi Kefa bowed deeply again, then was supported by the servant and left slowly.

Zuo Guangdou clasped his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky in the courtyard. The willows in the south of the Yangtze River in May were covered with beautiful scenery. Birds flew across the blue sky from time to time, giving people a sense of tranquility and leisure.

"Alas," Zuo Guangdou finally sighed, and then slowly sat back at the table.

Looking down, there was a secret letter on the table - personally signed by Master Zuo, from Zhu Youjian.

As soon as his eyes touched the envelope, as if being pricked by a needle, Zuo Guangdou immediately turned his head away.

The emperor was imprisoned in Beijing, and His Royal Highness King Xin immediately wrote a letter to himself impatiently - He must praise the diligent king for saving him, he must speak for the king's treason, and it is not a pity to die, and he must speak for the affairs of the world, and it should be the emperor's and If the scholar-bureaucrats rule together, what do the warriors have to do with it?
  Three key pieces of information, Xin Wang Zhu Youjian's thoughts, appeared on the paper.

Although Zuo Guangdou does not like the current emperor, the relationship between monarch, minister, father and son is still an iron law in the heart of this great Confucian!
  Now that the emperor is at peace, how can the prince go on stage to advocate for King Qin?
  If the old incident of Yingzong reappears, wouldn't he be deeply harmed by it? Disgraced? Let Jun's father be humiliated too!

After thinking for a long time, Zuo Guangdou twisted the letter paper with his hands, stood up and removed the veil, slowly ignited the letter paper, and then threw it into the copper furnace.

Looking at the slowly burning letter, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard outside the door.

No need to think, Zuo Guangdou already knew who was coming.

"Wang Qi, the traitor, finally showed his ferocious face. Mr. Yang was born to fight against thieves. Now I swear to fight against thieves until death!" Yang Lian's voice was still so loud, ringing from the front yard to the corridor until he entered the room. In the house.

Behind him, Gao Panlong, Zhao Nanxing, Wei Dazhong, and Zhou Zongjian followed closely.

"Why are you here so fast?" Zuo Guangdou stood up, welcomed everyone into the room, and then ordered the servants to watch the tea.

"After receiving the news, we stopped teaching and sent the students home. We came to the mansion together to discuss countermeasures!" Gao Panlong, who had the highest qualifications and prestige among the people, said, "Why don't you see Xianzhi?"

"It's been a long journey, so I asked him to rest first and see you later." Zuo Guangdou asked Gao Panlong to take a seat, while he and Yang Lian sat at the bottom.

As soon as Yang Lian sat down, he said: "Now, the situation has become clear. What to do, we just have to wait for Mr. Jing Yi to say a word!"

"It seems that all the northern provinces have turned against the party?" Gao Panlong did not rush to make a conclusion, but wanted to understand the situation first. He looked at Zuo Guangdou with a wise look: "Where is Shi Xianzhi? What news do you bring back?"

"In the northern provinces, there is currently no large-scale opposition to the anti-Party voice. In other words, under the shock of the Liaodong cavalry, no one dares to take the lead for the time being," Zuo Guangdou carefully considered his words and said slowly: "But I learned from Xianzhi that in fact, there are still many righteous people in the entire city of Beijing, hiding and lurking in the capital, and are planning a plan to rescue the emperor at the founding ceremony of the rebel party in one month, so as to give him A fatal blow!"

"A month later?" Gao Panlong exclaimed, his thick eyebrows furrowed: "In such a short time, I'm afraid we won't be able to raise a sufficient number of rebels to march north to defeat the rebels!" "In my opinion, one month is enough to defeat the rebels!" He wants to set up a parliament and enshrine the emperor on a high platform like a clay Buddha. How is this behavior different from that of Wang Mang of the new dynasty? As long as we expose his conspiracy to the world, all the ambitious people in the nine states will be at my disposal. , We have a righteous name, so why worry about not being able to accomplish it?" Yang Lianxing was like a raging fire, and he got even more excited at this moment. He stood up and said loudly: "I'm going to write an essay to attack the king and the thieves to boost the reputation of the Northern Expedition!"

"Wen Ru, please don't act rashly. If you offend Wang Qi and harm the emperor, wouldn't you be a sinner through the ages?" Zhao Nanxing, a senior person in Donglin, spoke slowly, stopped Yang Lian from talking, and added Gao: "I thought that if the traitors do not harm Your Majesty within a short period of time, can we get a letter and have peace talks between the two parties to promote a peaceful solution at this time?"

"A soldier is an unknown weapon. If a war breaks out suddenly, the people will still suffer. Is it our original intention to harm the people?"

Zhao Nanxing's words silenced everyone for a while.

Peace talks or Northern Expedition, that is the question.

"The key is, what does the emperor himself mean?" Finally, Wei Dazhong asked: "Whether it is peace or war, your majesty is the most important thing in this matter. It is meaningless for me to wait here and talk in vain!"

"According to Shi Xianzhi's words, Your Majesty wants to unite the ten tribes of Yi Wang Qi," Zuo Guangdou replied calmly.

Zuo Guangdou's words made Wei Dazhong and Zhao Nanxing's brows jump.

"Then" Zhao Nanxing coughed twice and said solemnly: "Then I think that the crime of rebelling against the party is unforgivable and causing such a disaster, it is necessary to kill them as a warning to others. The Northern Expedition is inevitable!"

"In this case, I will be the master for once," Gao Panlong shook his sleeves and said solemnly: "Yang Wenru will draft the petition to punish the thieves. Zuo will post it. Wei Kong will be responsible for supporting my Northern Expedition. I and Zhao Gongji will do it tomorrow. Then he went to the various government offices and summoned everyone to discuss the matter of raising an army."

"Huguang, Fengyang, the Governor-General of Zhejiang Province is the closest. I can send someone to write a letter to discuss important matters together!" Zuo Guangdou and the Governor-General of Huguang have an old relationship and have quite a friendship.

"How about money, food, salary?" Zhou Zongjian, who had been silent for a while, spoke.

This question made everyone in Donglin silent.

After all, Taoist articles are readily available, and the smell of money, yuan, and copper is not what scholar-bureaucrats are good at!
  "I have discussed this matter with Liu Bingcui, the Minister of Household Affairs. This matter should not be difficult. It is a small matter, a small matter." Gao Panlong felt that such a major event as the savior of King Qin, not to mention that everyone dispersed their family wealth, officials and gentry It’s appropriate to contribute money and effort, right?

"There's one more thing," Zuo Guangdou thought for a moment before speaking.

"What's the matter?" Gao Panlong asked.

"His Royal Highness King Xin, you are very worried about the safety of His Majesty the Emperor."

Everyone in the room looked at each other with complicated expressions.

His Majesty the Emperor is imprisoned in the palace. At this delicate moment, the Emperor's younger brother Xinwang Zhu Youjian suddenly appears to show his presence, which is not a good sign.

"Don't let King Xin interfere in this matter first. It will harm his reputation." Gao Panlong shook his head, and finally refused King Xin to interfere in this matter.
