Chapter 467
"Not only that, but before this, I heard that Lord Xu ordered the raiding of several Western Factory bases in Beijing."
‘Wow! ’
When the whole hall heard Yu Huatian's words, it was in an uproar!
What is the Jinyiwei going to do?
Have we launched a full-scale war against the Western Factory?
'boom! '
Lin Ruoyun immediately slammed the table and stood up, demanding in a cold voice, "Master Xu, who gave you the guts to run to the Imperial Palace and the Western Factory to confiscate property?"
"Queen Dowager, are you sure you want to bring an army to punish me at this time?"
"I'm afraid it will disturb today's birthday."
"Of course, if the Queen Mother insists on digging into the matter, I will answer you..."
"It is I who grant you the right to execute those below the third rank who have committed crimes and for whom there is irrefutable evidence, report to the emperor later."
"What rank is the head of the Western Factory? Doesn't the Imperial Palace belong to the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Youwei, who transformed herself into a "husband-protecting demon", responded with full force.
On the contrary, Mr. Xu, who was living off his wife, acted like a good guy and hurried forward to appease her.
Zhu Youwei's tough attitude also made Lin Ruoyun's face turn ashen.
"Your Majesty, you said it yourself, the evidence is conclusive..."
"Master Tan, what has happened?"
Lin Ruopu suddenly stood up and questioned.
"He stole the key and took it for himself. Not only did he resist in the name of the Queen Mother, but he also attacked the Imperial Guards."
"In my opinion, how could the Queen Mother secretly order the theft of the key, preventing the Ming Dynasty's most important 'Shushan Wuhai' from being opened?"
"Falsely convey the imperial decree and bring chaos to the world!"
"Minister Lin, tell me, which of his deeds shouldn't have resulted in his property being confiscated?"
Hearing this, Lin Ruoyun, Cao Zhengchun and others suddenly widened their eyes.
They knew that Song Qingshu was going to present the Wudang 'Secret Key'.
They were prepared to use this as a bargaining chip to secure several important positions in the new army, so they gladly accepted the offer.
Now, why did such a big change happen?
"Secret key? Which sect's key?"
"The two royal swords and the one from Tianyi are both in your Majesty's hands."
"The only ones left are Wudang and Wudi City. Whose property did you steal from, Chief Tan?"
After Lin Ruopu finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on the faces of Gong Banque of Wudi City and Song Yuanqiao, the head of Wudang.
The former is a loyal supporter of Prince Ning's Mansion; the latter, under the order of Master Zhang, will never participate in the court disputes.
In the eyes of the Donglin Party, this was a murder plan directed and acted by Xu Shan himself, just to disrupt the Empress Dowager's birthday.
"Hey, skinny old man!"
"Lingchen, you are one of the participants, so you have to testify for me!"
As Xu Shan spoke with a smile, Song Yuanqiao, who was already deeply tied to the Inspection Department, had no choice but to stand up and say, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty..."
"Last night, it was none other than Tan Luzi, the head of the Western Factory, who broke into our Wudang base and stole the 'key'."
"Thanks to the help of Lord Xu and the Jinyiwei, Wudang was spared from disaster."
'boom.'
When Song Yuanqiao said this, the entire hall almost boiled over!
Who is he? The head of Wudang, the first disciple of Master Zhang, and the leader of the righteous faction in the Ming Dynasty.
Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, he stood up openly at this time to testify for Xu Shan...
Does it mean that Wudang has abandoned its previous views and completely sided with His Majesty?
At this moment, not to mention Lin Ruoyun, Cao Zhengchun and others, even Yuan Tiangang and Zhu Youwei stared at the young man on the stage who was directing this show.
"Master Song, you must be responsible for your words."
"Are you sure it wasn't your only son, Song Qingshu, who took the initiative to bring him out?"
Cao Zhengchun, who couldn't sit still, questioned on the spot!
"Who? Song Qingshu?"
"Don't you know? My nephew Qingshu has long since turned from evil to good and has become a spy outside my Inspection Department."
"For this purpose, he even took the initiative to gift the Inspection Department five [Taiqing Pills] and even gave the Jinyiwei the Wudang sword forging technique, which was never passed on to outsiders."
"I even swore a blood oath with Sect Leader Song and kowtowed to him."
"Lord Cao, you cannot slander my beloved nephew whom I am ready to protect my whole life."
Xu Shan's words...
