Inside the divine machine hub!

Everything that happened in the Heavenly Prison was reported to Yuan Tiangang by the people below immediately.

The situation at the Inspection Department is also summarized here!

After learning the news, Yuan Tiangang, who was responsible for the Zhenjiang massacre, nodded heavily.

Then he said to Qinglong beside him, "Have the two armies stationed in the capital been divided into small groups and marched south of the Yangtze River?"

"We've already set out! Bai Hu, personally serve as the military supervisor."

"But Master Tian, ​​with such a big commotion, it's impossible for the various princes who covet the capital to not get any news at all."

"Plus, rumors are rife that His Majesty will not live long. The various local princes do not expect Jiangnan to return..."

"I'm afraid they'll take advantage of the lack of military strength in the capital and invade!"

Hearing this, Yuan Tiangang smiled and replied, "Qinglong. He has two sides to every matter."

"What you saw was them taking advantage of the situation and sneaking in. But what I saw was them catching them all in one fell swoop!"

"Hmm? Master, you mean..."

"As far as I know, the Longxi Li clan, the Bashu Liu clan, and other princes, upon learning that Your Majesty has a 'poisonous body' and is nearing death, have secretly contacted Prince Ning."

"They really hope that Zhu Wusi can enter the palace."

"Of course, the prerequisite is that our Prince Ning, after ascending the throne, enfeoffs them as hereditary kings of different surnames."

"Hmm? Isn't this equivalent to tearing the Ming Dynasty apart?"

"But Zhu Wusi agreed! In return, these forces helped him seize the capital when His Majesty's poison took effect."

After Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, Qinglong said nervously, "Master, the more this is the case, the more we cannot let the garrison leave the capital."

"Haha! Only by creating favorable conditions for them will these forces dare to gamble everything on it!"

"Can……"

This time, before Qinglong could finish his words, Yuan Tiangang suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Qinglong, how much do you know about the Thousand-Faced Buddha?"

"Thousand-Faced Buddha, Zhichun? Wasn't he destroyed by Xu Shan? All I know is that he is extremely skilled in disguise. His Zen method of 'Substitute Dharma Image' is unparalleled in the Ming Dynasty."

"It is said that this Dharmakāya can transform into anyone's appearance. The Divine Machine Shu surrounded him many times, but he always escaped by using this Zen method."

"This time, if Xu Shan hadn't taken the initiative to attack and locked him with the temple protection formation, it would have been difficult to kill him."

"Master, why do you suddenly ask this?"

'Pah.'

As soon as Qinglong finished speaking, Yuan Tiangang clapped his hands.

The next second, an extremely familiar figure of Qinglong appeared in front of him.

"Ning, King Ning?"

After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Qinglong blurted out with an exaggerated expression.

"Xing Tongzhi, how are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the face that looked exactly like Zhu Wusi's suddenly changed and returned to the appearance of Elder Zhenwu.

"A substitute Dharma image? Heavenly Master, what on earth is going on?"

As soon as Qinglong finished speaking, he saw something extra in Elder Zhenwu's hand.

"This, this is, a relic?"

"Could it be..."

"Zhichun's relics!"

"This contains 70% of his mortal body and Zen."

"It might be difficult for Zhenwu to refine it in a short period of time. But using the 'Substitute Dharma Image' to conceal the truth should be no problem."

"Do you really think that I ordered Xu Shan to attack Jiming Temple just to challenge the Heaven?"

"In this round, even if it means risking the life of Shen Jishu, I must get Zhichun's relic."

"It's just that Xu Shan is better than I thought."

After Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, Qinglong belatedly said, "I understand."

"Using the fake Prince Ning as a lure, these forces entered the game. In the end, they were all captured in one fell swoop?"

"You can understand it this way, but you still need to be cautious during the actual operation!"

"You should talk to Xu Shan about this first."

"Just tell him directly that Zhu Wusi...is not unkillable."

"But how can we kill him to maximize our benefits? Let him make a plan for me!"

"This round is entirely under his control!"

Hearing this, Qinglong's eyes suddenly lit up.

This is to push that brat Xu Shan to the top!

"understand!"

"Subordinates, I will go find him right away."

"Don't worry..."

"Right now, Living Buddha Xu and Xu Bantian should be busy heading to Suzaku Avenue."

"Is this the most glorious moment since entering Beijing?"

"Lin Ruopu..."

"He has spent most of his life in government, and has few rivals."

"I'm old, but I was completely defeated by a young man who had just come of age!"

"Tsk tsk!"

"Nothing could be more ironic than this."

Inside the Lin Mansion...

Lin Ruopu, dressed like a scholar, was standing in front of the desk, writing something!

"Master, master..."

"Something bad is going on."

"Ok?"

When the old housekeeper ran in hurriedly, Lin Ruopu looked up and glanced at him, then continued to write.

"Why are you so panicked?"

"The Jinyiwei suddenly rushed into Suzaku Avenue and surrounded the Lin Mansion."

"Who's leading the team?"

"Judging from their faces, they are all from the Inspection Department."

"Right now, the guards and attendants in the palace are confronting him outside the gate."

"Oh!"

After saying this, Lin Ruopu said no more, but changed a piece of paper and started writing something again.

Seeing this, the old butler asked cautiously: "Master, what should we do?"

'Snapped. '

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ruopu, who had finished writing the calligraphy, threw the brush on the inkstone.

He immediately picked up his painting, admired it carefully, and said, "Hang this calligraphy outside the mansion."

"what?"

Hearing this, the old butler immediately came forward.

He muttered, "The Lin Mansion is a restricted area, no imperial henchmen are allowed to enter!"

At the signature point, he left his name, Lin Ruopu, and seal.

"Master, this..."

"Just do it!"

"This Prime Minister has only been confined to his residence, not dismissed from his post or investigated."

"Even if the Heavenly Master comes in person, he still has to politely hand over his name card!"

"A bunch of court lackeys dare to come and surround this Prime Minister's residence?"

“Who gave them the confidence?”

As the head of the civil service of the Ming Dynasty and the leader of the Donglin Party, Lin Ruopu, whose disciples are spread all over the Ming Dynasty, is confident that as long as the internal and external troubles are not eliminated...

She, Zhu Youwei, didn't dare to really touch herself!

Lai Mingcheng's trip to the south of the Yangtze River did indeed cause a lot of trouble for the Yangzhou Lin family.

Xu Shan's strong rise squeezed the Donglin Party's voice in the court.

But so what?

Unless the Jiangnan gentry collectively "rebel" and become a chaotic mess; otherwise, the current empress would not dare to really investigate and prosecute Lin Ruopu.

What's more, Prince Ning doesn't want him to fall, and neither do the princes. The entire capital is united as one!

With the current strength of Zhu Youwei and Shen Jishu, they are not yet brave enough to declare war on all forces, right?

"Master, I understand."

"Indeed, it's time to dampen the arrogance of these court lackeys."

"Let them know that the capital is still supported by the Donglin Party; half of the Ming Dynasty's remaining national destiny is still in the hands of the master."
