Li Jiuyuan looked at Lin Xu with bright eyes and asked.
"I think I support the King of Wu."
Since he had already said this, Lin Xu naturally had no need to pretend to be confused by his understanding.
"That's right!"
Li Jiuyuan stroked his beard and then said solemnly: "However, if you want to support the King of Wu to take office, you must defeat the King of Qi. If you want to defeat the King of Qi, you must kill Yan Dang, and if you want to kill Yan Dang, you must kill Yan Dang,
You must take down Liu Mingju!”
Although Lin Xu had already analyzed the reasons behind Liu Mingju's arrest, after Li Jiuyuan said it in person, he still felt his heart hurt like a needle!
A man who has made great contributions to the country and the people was finally sent to prison because of the party struggle. He devoted his life to resisting Japanese pirates, but in the end he was called a Japanese pirate. There is even more tragic in the world than this.
Something is that?
Although he knew that it was useless to say too much about this, he still couldn't help but want to seek justice for Liu Ming!
"If you want to kill Yan Dang, you can start with the capital. Why do you have to slander Lord Liu? Even if you want to slander Lord Liu, why do you have to make a name for him to communicate with the Japanese?"
"Because Lord Liu is the pillar of Yan Dang!"
Li Jiuyuan said solemnly: "I believe Mr. Lin should have heard this saying: Da Ning cannot be without the southeast for a day, and Liu Mingju cannot be without the southeast for a day!"
Lin Xu nodded.
Li Jiuyuan asked again: "So do you know, who said this?"
"I heard it was said by the Emperor."
"Yes, this sentence is indeed what the emperor said!"
Li Jiuyuan's face became even more serious: "Through this sentence, we can understand how heavy Liu Mingju is in the emperor's heart! Last spring, the court launched a destruction of Yan. At that time, several important officials of the court participated, and the evidence was also
It's very conclusive! The situation is very good! But in the end, it failed! Not only did it fail to defeat Yan, but those important officials were dismissed from office and investigated! Do you know the reason?"
"Is it because of Lord Liu?"
"That's right! Liu Mingju is a member of the Yan Party. If Yan is defeated, Liu Mingju will definitely be out of protection! However, in the southeast, Japanese pirates were rampant, and no one could suppress them except Liu Mingju! Since the southeast cannot be separated from Liu Mingju, then Yan is
It will definitely not be successful!”
Speaking of this, Li Jiuyuan's tone changed: "But the current situation is very different. The southeast has been peaceful for more than a year. Those Japanese pirates are afraid of our country's prestige in Daning and dare not go ashore to rob and harm the people!
Come on, Liu Mingju will naturally not be so important anymore.”
"So, this time, I fell into Yan directly with Liu Mingju as a breakthrough!"
"However, although Liu Mingju's status in the southeast is no longer so important, in the emperor's mind, Liu Mingju is still a pillar of the country. If you want to take him down, ordinary charges will not work! What are the corruption and bribery, collusion with court officials?
, These crimes are completely worth mentioning in the emperor's heart!”
"There are only two charges that can allow the emperor to take Liu Mingju: one is to rebel! the other is to communicate with the Japanese!"
"If you want to say that Liu Mingju rebelled, there is indeed insufficient evidence. But if you want to say that Liu Mingju is connected with the Japanese, it is not considered a false accusation of him! He communicated with the pirate leader Wang Hai many times, and even condoned the customs to release Wang Hai's cargo ship to help him smuggle!"
"Isn't this kind of behavior aligned with the Japanese?"
After hearing Li Jiuyuan's words, Lin Xu felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he was hit by a sledgehammer!
Although he didn't want to admit it, the facts have proved that Liu Mingju was actually harmed by him!
If it hadn't for the strategy of "using Japanese to control Japanese" for Liu Mingju, then the current situation in Daning would still be "the southeast cannot be without Liu Mingju for a day", and then there would be nothing wrong with Liu Mingju!
