"It is said that this person is just the head of the Ministry of War, the sixth rank! It is still a figure when viewed from the local area, but in the capital, a sixth rank chief is really nothing!"
Speaking of this, Fang Jinglan suddenly changed his tone again: "But, I heard from that old friend that the head of the Ministry of War has a fellow villager, Zhan Shi from the King of Wu's Mansion."
"Jess of the King of Wu's Mansion!"
A sharp light appeared in Lin Xu's eyes: "It seems that the head of the Ministry of War wrote a memorial to impeach Lord Liu, probably because the drunkard was not drinking!"
Fang Jinglan has been in business for so many years and has developed a cautious personality. She will not discuss topics involving the court with others on weekdays. Even if she hears it, she will not make her own comments!
But this matter is different!
He knew that his third brother had a very close relationship with Liu Mingju, and the matter of reforming and relieving was completed with the support of Liu Mingju!
Therefore, he was very worried that if Liu Mingju really fell, then would his brother be implicated?
That's why he decided to talk to Lin Xu about this matter. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, at least let Lin Xu be mentally prepared in advance.
So he sighed, "After all these are hearsay words, I don't know whether they are true or false! If this is true, I'm afraid it's like the third brother said, some people are drunk but not drinking!"
"Mr. Liu has guarded the southeast in recent years, defeated the Japanese pirates many times, and maintained the peace in the south of the Yangtze River. It has made great contributions to the court and the people!"
"If you are involved because of party struggles, it would be so sad!"
"Third brother, you have a close relationship with Lord Liu. I don't know if you will be targeted! No matter what, third brother, you have to prepare early!"
Lin Xu nodded with a serious expression: "Don't worry, brother, I know it!"
After hearing the news, Lin Xu was not in the mood to have dinner here. After injecting artemisinin into Fang Jinglan himself, he stood up and said goodbye.
Fang Jinglan understood Lin Xu's mood, so she did not try to keep him. However, he kept Yue Yao because the osmanthus cake was not ready yet. When Yue Yao went back, he brought some osmanthus cakes to Lin Xu.
......
After leaving the Fang family, Lin Xu immediately went to the Governor's Office.
Along the way, he was looking forward to the news that Fang Jinglan heard was fake, or that the emperor did not really send someone to Hangzhou to investigate the matter!
When Lin Xu arrived at the Governor's Office, he found out that Liu Mingju had already set off for Hangzhou early this morning.
Since Liu Mingju is currently the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he still serves as the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and he needs to make decisions on all major matters himself, he often runs back and forth between Suzhou and Hangzhou.
If it were normal, Liu Mingju would have gone to Hangzhou, it would be nothing.
However, Liu Mingju just came back from Hangzhou a few days ago, so he hurried back to Hangzhou. It was obvious that there was a reason for this!
If nothing unexpected happens, what Fang Jinglan said is true. The emperor must have sent someone to Zhejiang to investigate!
Although Lin Xu believed that even if Liu Mingju was investigated, he might not be able to find anything. At least it is impossible to communicate with the Japanese!
But the key is the emperor's attitude. His sending someone to Jiangsu to investigate the matter means that he no longer trusts Liu Mingju so much!
In the feudal dynasty, once a vassal official holding military power loses the emperor's trust, even if the emperor only has some suspicion, the consequences will be unimaginable!
