Li Jiuyuan looked at Lin Xu with bright eyes and asked.

"I think it's to support King Wu."

Now that he has spoken to this extent, Lin Xu naturally has no need to pretend to be confused anymore.

"Of course!"

Li Jiuyuan stroked his beard and then said solemnly: "However, if you want to support the King of Wu to ascend to the throne, you must defeat the King of Qi. If you want to defeat the King of Qi, you must kill the Yan Party. If you want to kill the Yan Party, you must kill the Yan Party."

We must capture Liu Mingju!"

Although Lin Xu had already analyzed the reasons behind Liu Mingju's arrest, after hearing Li Jiuyuan say it himself, he still felt a pain in his heart like a needle!

A man who made great contributions to the country and the people was eventually imprisoned because of party disputes. He devoted his whole life to resisting Japanese pirates, but in the end he was known as a Japanese invader. There is nothing more tragic than this in the world.

thing?

Although he knew that talking about this matter would be useless, he still couldn't help but want to seek justice for Liu Mingju!

"If you want to kill the Yan Party, you can start from the capital. Why do you have to slander Mr. Liu? Even if you want to slander Mr. Liu, why do you have to fabricate a name for him to be a traitor to the Japanese?"

"Because Mr. Liu is the pillar of the Yan Party!"

Li Jiuyuan said solemnly: "Mr. Lin must have heard this saying: Da Ning cannot live without Southeast Asia for a day, and Southeast China cannot live without Liu Mingju for a day!"

Lin Xu nodded.

Li Jiuyuan asked again: "Do you know, sir, who said this?"

"I heard it was the emperor who said it."

"Yes, this sentence was indeed said by the emperor!"

Li Jiuyuan's face became more solemn: "Through this sentence, we can understand how important Liu Mingju is in the heart of the emperor! Last spring, the imperial court launched a rebellion. At that time, several important officials of the imperial court participated in it, and the evidence is also

It’s very conclusive! The situation was great! However, in the end, everything fell short! Not only did they not succeed in defeating them, but those important ministers were dismissed from their posts and investigated! Sir, do you know the reason? "

"Is it just because of Mr. Liu?"

"That's right! Liu Mingju is a member of the Yan Party. If he betrays his face, Liu Mingju will definitely be in danger! However, at that time in the southeast, Japanese pirates were raging, and no one except Liu Mingju could suppress them! Since the southeast cannot do without Liu Mingju, then the betrayal of Yan is inevitable.

It’s bound to fail!”

At this point, Li Jiuyuan's tone changed: "The situation now is very different. The southeast has been peaceful for more than a year. Those Japanese pirates are afraid of the power of our country, Daning, and dare not go ashore to rob or harm the people! Such a situation

Come, Liu Mingju will naturally no longer be so important."

"So, this time, Liu Mingju was directly used as the breakthrough point!"

"However, although Liu Mingju's status in the southeast is no longer so important, in the heart of the emperor, Liu Mingju is still the pillar of the country. If you want to take him down, ordinary charges will not work! What about corruption, bribery, and collusion with courtiers?

, these crimes are totally not worth mentioning in the Emperor’s heart!”

"There are only two crimes that can allow the emperor to take down Liu Mingju: one, treason! The other, treason with the Japanese!"

"To say that Liu Mingju committed rebellion, there is indeed insufficient evidence. But to say that Liu Mingju had treason with the Japanese, it does not mean that he was framed! He corresponded with the pirate leader Wang Hai many times, and even connived at the customs to release Wang Hai's cargo ship to help him smuggle!"

"Isn't this kind of behavior a sign of Japanese aggression?"

After hearing what Li Jiuyuan said, Lin Xu felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he was being hit with a sledgehammer!

Although he didn't want to admit it, facts have proven that Liu Mingju was actually harmed by himself!

If he hadn't proposed the strategy of "controlling Japanese with Japanese" to Liu Mingju, then the current situation in Daning would still be "the southeast cannot live without Liu Mingju for a day", and nothing would have happened to Liu Mingju!
