Chapter 23: Escalation of Contradictions

When Lu Lin saw Xu Chunshen's embarrassed appearance, he laughed indifferently and said, "Xu Sheng, good look." ”

Xu Chunshen tidied up his clothes and said, "Duke Lu, didn't you think that the current situation would end like this?" ”

Lu Lin smiled lightly and said, "It's not me who wants to end the show. It's Wang Shu. He sent several letters to Xu Chunshen.

Xu Chunshen took a look, and his originally relaxed body suddenly stood up, he glanced at Lu Lin, but saw Lu Lin smiling slightly, not saying anything, as if he was confident.

Xu Chunshen understood in his heart.

Now he is no longer qualified to sit back and watch success or failure, he can only choose a side to take sides.

As for which side to choose, he still had some doubts before he did it again, but the treatment that Wang Shu gave him today, coupled with the confidence that these letters gave him.

Let him know immediately what to do.

Xu Chunshen said: "Please ask Duke Lu to command, what do you want me to do?" ”

Lu Lin said: "Let's talk about it first, what did Wang Shu tell you to do?" ”

Xu Chunshen said: "By letting me return to the original price within three days." ”

Lu Lin sneered and said, "Yuanmu begged for fish." Then he stretched out his hand, called Xu Chunshen to his side, and whispered in Xu Chunshen's ear: "What I asked you to do is --------"

Lu Lin's voice was low, almost unheard, as light as a mosquito, and only Xu Chunshen heard it.

When he heard this, he was shocked and said, "This --------"

Lu Lin said: "I can't bear the child, I can't trap the wolf, besides, I'm not alone behind me." You have to figure it out. ”

Xu Chunshen's face turned pale and said, "Let me think about it." ”

Lu Lin said: "Okay, but your time is running out, whether it's from Wang Shu's side or from my side." ”

Xu Chunshen's face turned even paler.

Right now.

Wang Shu heard the Jinyi guard whispering in his ear, waved his hand and said, "You go down." ”

The brocade guard immediately saluted.

Wang Shu said to Chen Yue beside him: "Lord Chen, what do you think of Lu Lin?" ”

Wang Shu has been in charge of the place for a long time, known as the blue sky.

Naturally, it is not something that can be done just by having a hard temper and a high moral character. More than enough wisdom.

This situation of Suzhou shaking.

Wang Shu knew very well that Xu Chunshen could not do it, so he decided that there was someone behind this, just like before he came, he was reminded by Cao Nai, the water in the south of the Yangtze River is very deep.

Not to mention other people, there must be a person with enough weight behind Xu Chunshen to contact the Suzhou gentry to have the current situation.

Wang Shu wants to know who this person is, so that he can prescribe the right medicine.

He didn't know, but he believed that Xu Chunshen must know.

That's why he put Xu Chunshen in a life-and-death dilemma, look at him and Who to contact.

Of course, his words to Xu Chunshen are not adulterated at all. Xu Chunshen's change of course may not solve the fundamental problem, but it can also ease the situation.

Of course, if he refuses, Wang Shu will borrow someone's head.

Of course, this trick threw stones to ask for directions, and it really smashed out the swimming fish in the troubled water.

Chen Yue listened, just hesitated for a while, and then told Lu Lin's identity 1510, but he finally paused slightly and said: "There is a rumor, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" ”

Wang Shu said: "Even if you talk about it. ”

Chen Yue said: "It is rumored that the Lu family has a close connection with the Shi family in the old port, and together with the Shi family in the old port, they are all members of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Wang Shu listened, and his brows furrowed slightly.

To be honest, Lu Lin was behind the scenes, and it was not much beyond Wang Shu's expectations.

After all, the people who are qualified to be the masterminds behind the scenes, in Suzhou Shilin, there are only about a dozen candidates, either Zhishi officials, or the heads of big families who have fame but are not famous.

Lu Lin is one of them.

However, Lu Lin may be the crown prince's person, which really surprised Wang Shu.

Just think about it, it makes sense.

Zhu Qizhen kept the prince in Jiaozhi for more than ten years, and he really wanted to say that the prince was already full-fledged, and there were more than 100,000 soldiers of Jiaozhi and Nanyang Dusi, all of which were mastered by the prince. As for the princes of the Nanyang countries, they are all appeased one by one, and they are willing to be the wings of the Son of Heaven.

In addition, there is a queen in the palace as an Austrian aid, above the court, there is an incense affair with Han Yong, plus officials such as Yu Mian as eyeliner, and Xie Qian and others under his command as assistants.

In terms of financial resources, there is Xian Jing as a money bag, and the prince has not let go of Nanyang trade, and he has a lot of control.

It can be said that behind the prince is almost independent Nanyang Town.

If the person who rules Nanyang Town is not the crown prince.

It has long been unknown how many people have been impeached.

Even so, many officials played and asked the prince to return to Beijing to settle the country.

It is to see that the prince is powerful, and he is worried that there will be something unbearable between father and son.

Zhu Qizhen naturally ignored it.

He wanted the crown prince to gain experience in the south.

Only by skillfully controlling the courtiers and completing the development of Nanyang can it be proved that the prince can be qualified for the position of Emperor Ming.

Of course, Zhu Qizhen did not consider the gap between father and son.

After all, the prince has only returned to Beijing for nearly ten years, and the time he has spent in Beijing is only a few months.

The reason why Han Yong can sit firmly in the position of first assistant may not be this reason. Zhu Qizhen tolerated the prince's presence in the imperial court, and did not allow the eldest four sons to return to Beijing.

This guarantees one thing.

That is, even if he had a case, he suddenly died. The queen cooperated with Shousuke, and the only successor they chose was the crown prince.

Zhu Qizhen felt that he did not have the heart to abolish the prince

, there shouldn't be any problems between father and son.

Most of the Lu family's wealth routes come from the Nanyang route, and if Lu Lin has a relationship with the prince, wouldn't it be a very normal thing.

However, Wang Shu is upright, but he is not a fool.

He deliberately avoided Lu Lin's question and said: "Lord Chen has been in Suzhou for a long time, and what should be the current situation?" Please teach me. ”

Chen Yue pondered slightly.

He is not too surprised by this situation.

It's just that if he copes, there is a little bit of a dilemma for him.

After all, this problem is a new problem for Wang Shu, and it is also a new problem for Chen Yue. He suddenly said: "My lord came by the order of the imperial court, representing the majesty of the imperial court, these Xiumin do not know the power of the sky, do not know the soldiers, the lower officials think that they should be severely punished and punished, so that they know the majesty of the sky." ”

Chen Yue has no solution.

It's not that these people are so difficult to deal with now, but that there must be a premise for any disposition they have.

The premise of this is that Jiangnan cannot be chaotic.

The imperial court is already more difficult now.

Jiangnan is also the important place of money and grain for the imperial court. Once the Jiangnan was in turmoil, the commercial tax of the imperial court could not be collected. Even the money and grain that could have been collected had to be depreciated by a considerable amount.

This is to add insult to the fact that the imperial court is not rich and the life is worse.

Wang Shu, who bore the brunt of the attack, will definitely not end well.

That's why Lu Lin said to Xu Chunshen that it was not Lu Lin who was going to end now, but Wang Shu.

Admittedly, this mess continues. There is no benefit to the Jiangnan gentry.

After all, their roots are in Jiangsu.

And for Wang Shu, it is even more unacceptable.

Chen Yue's answer does not solve the problem, but expresses his position.

He has always shown himself as a pioneer in changing the law, and he must not change his course. However, the current situation is a little unpleasant, and it is natural to sing a high profile and express his resolute stand, but as for the method he proposed, whether it will work or not, it is a matter of ability.

This is also a kind of cutting from the local gentry in front of Wang Shu.

Of course, if Wang Shu agreed.

Chen Yue will also be ruthless, and will not show mercy because of certain transactions between him and certain people. It is even because of this that it is even more necessary to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, kill people and eliminate mouths.

Anyway, he has Wang Shu on top of him.

After Wang Shu heard this, he didn't know if he saw through Chen Yue's thoughts, or that it was not the same as Chen Yue's thoughts, it seemed that Chen Yue had been for a while, and said: "Suzhou is in chaos, and other prefectures must not have such a thing again, if there is another one, I want you to ask." ”

Chen Yue said: "Please rest assured, there will be no more accidents." ”

The Jiangnan gentry don't want to make it bigger, Suzhou is their decisive field and weather vane, and the situation in Suzhou directly feels their tendencies, and other places don't need it.

Wang Shu said: "You go and do things, I will deal with Suzhou." ”
