Chapter 342 The Emperor and His Officials

"In your opinion?" Hu Zongxian hurriedly asked after hearing Zhang Mo's words.

"If we can't handle it properly, although Wang Zhi is in our hands, he can only be a hot potato, which will have no effect on our plan." Zhang Mo continued, and when he said this, he couldn't help sighing: "This... Jin Yiwei's The ability is too great, just a peripheral Wang Zhi, his energy is overwhelming... It's hard to imagine, without Master Zhu, how we would face Lu Bing and the Thirteen Taibao..."

Hearing Zhang Mo's words, Zhu Liu's expression and heart were extremely complicated, both proud and sad.

"Wang Zhi has already landed, at least our first step has been successful." Zhang Mo boosted morale. He is the one who needs the help of the court and Zhu Liu most. Of course, Hu Zongxian and Zhu Liu cannot be allowed to be depressed. Encouragement, showing a kind of self-confidence and orderliness, continued: "Now, we must start the next action as soon as possible, and we must be coherent. We must not give Lu Bing a chance to react until we knock Lu Bing down."

"What shall we do next?" Hu Zongxian said after hearing the words: "The emperor is still waiting for Wang Zhi's confession. This is also the most direct weapon against Lu Bing. We can't abandon the basics and chase the end, right?"

"Wang Zhi is also an outstanding man of his generation. How could his mouth be so easy to pry open?" Zhang Mo shook his head and said, "I said it just now, maybe Wang Zhi's mouth has not been pried open yet, and his subordinates have already entered Ningbo. And at that time, Lu Bing may have gotten the news and started to deal with us."

"This..." Hu Zongxian suddenly turned to Zhu Liu who had been silent all this time, and said, "Master Zhu, if you come forward, can you persuade Wang Zhi to stand on our side?"

Seeing that Hu Zongxian pointed the finger at Zhu Liu again, Zhang Mo knew that Hu Zongxian was always worried about Zhu Liu, so he hoped that Zhu Liu would be completely nailed to the opposite of Lu Bing as soon as possible.

Zhang Mo originally disagreed with the premature exposure of Zhu Liu.

But at this time, he also felt that if Zhu Liu could persuade Wang Zhi to cooperate with himself and others, then he would be of great help.

Zhang Mo was from Jiang Hu, and he knew better than the imperial court what Wang Zhi's name represented in the southeast of Ming Dynasty and the vast sea area.

If Wang Zhi can cooperate with him, the White Lotus Sect is no less than having the support of a real monarch.And the territory of this monarch... wherever the huge ship sails, it is his territory.

So Zhang Mo did not stop Hu Zongxian from oppressing Zhu Liu this time.

Zhu Liu seemed to be dazzled just now, and he took a deep look at Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian suddenly regretted, regretting that he seemed to have acted too hastily.

When dealing with a murderous person like Zhu Liu, if you make a wrong step, your head may fall to the ground... If the person dies, everything will be forgotten.

If he wants to kill someone... Although he is a big official in Xinjiang, in the eyes of Jin Yiwei, he is no more difficult to deal with than an ordinary gentry.

Hu Zongxian subconsciously glanced at Zhu Liubaijing's hand.On Zhu Liu's hands, there was a strong blood that seemed to be dripping out. Those high-ranking officials who fell into his hands were precedents.

Hu Zongxian swallowed dryly, and Zhu Liu spoke.

For some reason, Zhu Liu's voice suddenly became a little hoarse, that dark voice seemed to be restrained murderous intent.

"Wang Zhi...wouldn't betray Lu Bing...the reason why he agreed to go ashore when he heard me coming was not because of me, but because Lu Bing entrusted me with the affairs here..." Zhu Liu said softly Without looking up, Zhang Mo was thinking, is Zhu Liu a little guilty?
"If I come forward, my betrayal of Lu Bing will be exposed...we can't fight him..."Zhu Liu sighed and continued: "At the end of the day, I have today, Wang Zhi has today, and Wang Zhi is able to land happily today, all because of him, all because of his name."

Zhu Liu raised his head to look at Hu Zongxian, and then turned his gaze to Zhang Mo: "You should understand... But don't think that you can challenge him because you don't know everything about him. Don't think that these In [-], he seems to have lost a lot of edge. It will give you such an illusion because there are so few things that require him to appear in person... Many things have already been dealt with properly before they come to him. "

Zhu Liu looked at Hu Zongxian again, and continued: "Master Hu is a member of the imperial court, and he may know less about it, so he thinks that as long as the emperor gets evidence of Lu Bing's crime, it's not like 'the king makes the ministers die'? Hehe..." Zhu Liu's eyes and corners of his mouth were full of sarcasm: "Do you really think that the emperor is afraid of the world's words? Afraid that the world will say that he can't tolerate others? Afraid that the court officials behind Lu Bing will resist the order? That's why you didn't do it directly, get rid of Lu Bing? You're wrong! You forgot how our emperor came to power, and how much blood our emperor's imperial staff was stained with. This... is now insane."

Listening to Zhu Liu's words, Hu Zongxian's expression kept changing, from unhappiness, to anger, to astonishment...

Zhu Liu's voice didn't change in the slightest: "Master Hu, have you ever thought that the emperor wants to move him, and he has to attract so many people together, regardless of whether the people who are attracted are from the court, or from the people, or even traitors?" ..."

Zhang Mo and Hu Zongxian looked at each other, they both knew what Zhu Liu was talking about, of course he was referring to Zhang Mo and the White Lotus Sect.

"Even disregarding the biggest taboo, the emperor chose to forget about Chen Hong, Bi Yun, who almost killed the king, and Sun Hong, who once controlled the forbidden palace, and let Dongchang join in, giving Dongchang a chance to rise again. Opportunity...the emperor used so many tricks, did so many things in private, and went around...Isn't it just to keep Lu Bing from knowing and not to give Lu Bing a chance to launch?" Zhu Liu did not hide the mention of the emperor at all. The disdain and contempt of time.

Zhu Liu's words were rebellious, but at this time Hu Zongxian and Zhang Mo were in no mood to refute and reprimand.

Because they knew that this was a fact they were unwilling to admit...the emperor was too cowardly when he faced Lu Bing, and the way he chose to deal with Lu Bing.

They also know that the current emperor is not cowardly, even bold, or even reckless!
The current emperor is neither uncouth nor unwise. His skills over the years are known to all the officials.

At this moment, Hu Zongxian and Zhang Mo suddenly realized that there was always a shadow behind that tough emperor...

That shadow is one of the important pillars supporting Jiajing to face the ministers toughly!

That shadow...is Lu Bing!
It's... Jin Yiwei!

The two of them couldn't help but look ashen...
