Chapter 708: Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Lu Ning to be arrested
The people are basically talking about it.
Things are already going on.
Gradually.
Not only did the people know about it, but even everyone in the palace was in danger, especially those who were closer to Lu Ning, and they all felt a burst of fear.
Even this matter has reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears.
At this time.
Zhu Yuanzhang was in the imperial study and heard the people below report the matter.
Jin Yiwei's Mao Xiang had already come over, his face was a little heavy, and when he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, he said, "Your Majesty, we got a rumor from the people about protecting the king."
After hearing Mao Xiang say this, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the fold in his hand, nodded and said, "What is it about?"
Mao Xiang was a little hesitant, and said hesitantly, "Suddenly, there is a paper note of the White Lotus Sect circulating on the market, and the key is that this banknote has a portrait of the King Protector painted on it, and the one holding him with is the White Lotus Holy Mother."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was not calm, and stood up directly, frowning and said, "What, there is such a thing?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang also knows that the White Lotus Sect has developed for hundreds of years and has never been broken, so in the whole world, tens of thousands of people can be called on to join this kind of sect!
You can imagine how terrible the power of the condensation is!
Even since ancient times, so many imperial courts have wanted to attack the White Lotus Sect, but there is still no result.
Now, the White Lotus Sect resurfaced and attacked Lu Ning, Zhu Yuanzhang squinted.
For a while, they couldn't remember who Lu Ning had offended them.
That's why this kind of trouble is incurred!
Jin Yiwei's Mao Xiang asked Zhu Yuanzhang, "Your Majesty, what should I do about this matter?" Should we send someone to clean up this rumor?"
Mao Xiang is still very worried that if this rumor continues to deepen, it will affect Lu Ning's status in Daming.
You must know that Lu Ning is the god of war of the Ming Dynasty, he swept away so many countries hostile to the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, and has a lofty identity and honor, which was given to him by Zhu Yuanzhang and the entire Ming Dynasty.
If the matter of the White Lotus Sect really affected his fundamental position in the Ming Dynasty, then the people of the world would no longer let him continue to serve as the protector of the king.
If there are other enemies who oppose Lu Ning and take this opportunity to stir the water more and more turbid, then it is very likely that Lu Ning will not be able to get out.
Come to think of it.
Mao Xiao felt worried about Lu Ning, but Zhu Yuanzhang was still patient, and he stretched out his hand and tapped on the table.
As if thinking about how to deal with this kind of thing, after a while, he waved his hand and said, "No, such rumors, if you directly order the suppression of the people, it is very likely that it will be even more uncontrollable!"
Heard this. Mao Xiang didn't understand what Zhu Yuanzhang thought.
"Isn't that what that means it? Your Majesty, are we really going to let this rumor go unattended and let the Protector King get into such a situation?"
"After that, the pressure on him will be even greater! Maybe he really won't be able to stay in the capital anymore."
When he said this, Mao Xiang added a sentence, and said with a somewhat ugly face: "Your Majesty, there is one more matter, which is investigated to the point that in addition to the people outside are discussing, this matter."
"There are people behind it, this matter has only happened for one day, and it is impossible for the whole city to know about it, it should be the people in the capital who are against the protector king, and deliberately let people spread rumors, so it spread so quickly."
"What they need is to pull the Protector King into the water, so that he will not continue to get his current status and honor in Daming."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't be calm.
Although he was very disgusted that Lu Ning had something to do with the White Lotus Sect, all this did not completely show that Lu Ning must be a member of the White Lotus Sect.
What's more, he felt that Lu Ning
There is no reason to do so.
Someone in the back is adding fuel to the fire, which means that there must be something strange about this matter.
He commanded Mao Xiang, "Now, spread our will!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Mao Xiang walked in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and after hearing what he said clearly, he immediately nodded, and then turned around and went down to do so.
......
Nearly half an hour passed.
A pair of people in brocade clothes came out of the palace in a hurry, and then headed in the direction of the palace.
Along the way, many people were speculating whether this matter was related to the White Lotus Sect.
"Look, look!! These brocade guards are menacing, and something big must have happened when they appear at this time."
"Jin Yiwei has always obeyed the emperor's orders, so it can only be said that the emperor has important things to tell them to do!"
"It can't have anything to do with today's rumors, right?"
"Yes, it must be the White Lotus Sect!"
"I think that's the case, too."
Some of the people immediately became excited, clapped their hands and said, "Doesn't that mean that the protector king is about to be unlucky, he is related to the White Lotus Sect, and even the emperor can't stand it, so he sent the Jinyi guard to take action, is that to arrest the protector king?"
"Hahaha! That would be great!"
These people are excitedly discussing.
But when she heard this, Princess Lan, who was still selling rouge, was not good, and the rouge in her hand fell to the ground.
The owner of the rouge shop said to him, "Oh, what's the matter with you? My rouge!!"
Princess Lan just turned around and gave the other party a cold look, and then said to the maid next to her, "Give him silver."
After finishing speaking, he immediately headed in the direction of the palace!
