Chapter 755
"boom!"
An exquisite teacup was thrown to the ground and shards splashed everywhere, and the tea in it stained the feet and robes of the people in front of them, but no one dared to reach out to wipe it, and they all stood with their heads bowed and their hands tied.
"Who is plotting against me?! Huh? Don't you have any news?"
Another shout came from the spirit king Yang Shu who was sitting at the top with an angry expression on his face. It's rare for him to get angry like he is now, because of his personality, he is more used to handing people a knife in a joke instead of being mad like this now. It can be seen how miserable it is to be angry.
Standing in front of Yang Shu were his counselors, the most daring ones are all there now, and there is a cover-up circle in the study to explain that the matter is confidential, and outsiders can actually guess about seven or eight points of what can be discussed.
Recently, Yang Shu's situation is very bad. After changing the good trend of the dark horse going forward, it suddenly turned into a target of public criticism and was attacked by the crowd.
Now the remaining five princes, including Yang Shu, are all relative in strength, one-on-one comparison, and there is no such a situation where one fights a few. So even if Yang Shu was blessed with luck all the way in the "big test" and surpassed in strength, how much better than his elder brothers can he really say? That's hard to say.
At least on the bright side, the eldest prince Yang Baicheng can beat Yang Shu by half a block. What's more, now that the boss, third child, fifth child, and sixth child have all gathered together to play a joint game, how can Yang Shu be able to bear this combined force?
Now not only is there a layer of solid ice in the imperial city, making Yang Shu feel cold and difficult to walk, even business houses in various places are now beginning to be jointly suppressed.
Don't think that Yang Shu has many merchants in his hands. Although the other princes are not mainly recruiting merchants, how can there be no way to get money among the forces? More or less, there will be their own business names as downstream support. Nowadays, the combination of various families is also a powerful force that cannot be ignored, and it is also uncomfortable to beat Yang Shu all at once.
The counterattack of the forces within the establishment is even more powerful. The powerful families of the great families used to hide in the corners, unwilling to fight with Yang Shudingniu, who was controlling the money and austerity, and worried about being taken advantage of by others, but now they are quite different, jumping out one by one arrogantly Fearing that Yang Shu would not be trampled to death, the scene was described as violent.
It was hard to get some improvement in the establishment, but now, in just a few days, Yang Shu felt some signs of being overwhelmed.
The most obvious and most directly "attacked" are the newly acquired defenders of the south gate of the imperial city and the local yamen of the imperial city.
The guard at the South Gate spoke yesterday, saying that the voices against him in the Ministry of War were suddenly extremely loud, and that several lieutenants under his command had all been raped, and a lot of dirty things about old rotten grains had been picked up, and some of them were even Turning the corner to the distant relatives to bring up the matter, it is clear that some people are unreasonable and want to smear.
This sign is very unusual. Generally speaking, the more important the position, the more strict checks are required. It is no child's play whether it is up or down. But it's not easy to say what the direction of the wind is now. Except for Shang Shu Wen Mingju, everyone in the Ministry of War is secretly standing in line, and it is not impossible to attack in groups.
The situation of the local yamen in the imperial city is similar to that of the south gate defenders, even more dangerous. Because the local yamen was established by Bai Changqing on Yang Shu's behalf and then fell to him. Several huge donations were involved, and even Bai Changqing was involved. As for the yamen itself, even Bai Changqing might not be able to escape unscathed at that time, which can be described as a dilemma.
In addition to these two important events, the surrounding armed forces also reported that there have been several times more unidentified monks wandering around the palace in recent days than before, and their cultivation is getting higher and higher. The Lingwang Mansion has penetrated into the perception, and it can be concluded that there will be more persecution in the future.
When the critical moment came, it was hard to say whether those who surrounded him would also join forces to send force to kill him.
However, the situation has gone from bad to worse for many days without any way to fight back. This is unacceptable to Yang Shu, and it is also the reason why he lost his temper today.
Don't get angry when you get hit, but get angry when you get hit and can't fight back.
Yang Shu got angry and dropped his glass, and the counselors below all dared not speak. Only the chief conspirator bowed his hands and replied: "My lord, calm down, the situation is difficult now, let alone your anxiety affect your judgment."
This can be regarded as exhortation, the duty of a counselor, but there are very few people who dare to push back like this when their master is angry.
A murderous look flashed in Yang Shu's eyes, and it quickly dissipated. He took a deep breath, and his chest heaved several times before regaining his composure. With a snort, the tone was still not friendly, and he said, "Agitated? If you can't come up with countermeasures, then it's not just agitation. It's hard to say whether it will be possible to enter the coffin."
Killing people is easy to behead, so that people's lives can be taken away without fear of any tricks. That's why Yang Shu said "it's almost in the coffin". There can be no happy ending.
"My lord, I'm afraid the only solution for now is to strike first."
"Huh? Keep talking!"
The mastermind was also ruthless. These days, he hardly slept a wink, and spent the whole day working with his colleagues on how to break the situation. Of course, they also knew that if things were difficult to deal with, their fate would not be better, and decades of achievements would be ruined. However, in the face of the situation of a group attack, it is almost impossible to cleverly avoid it. Cleverness or tricks are useless in this kind of thing.
Only courage is the root of the possibility of breaking the situation today.
Going forward bravely, fighting to the death may still have a glimmer of life, otherwise you will soon be tied up and finally torn to pieces.
Therefore, the words of the mastermind are not only his own thoughts, but also the thoughts of all the main counselors present. They have basically reached a consensus. What is needed now is to see if Ling Wang Shu will agree to such a rather risky idea. Behavior.
After a pause, the mastermind took a step forward after considering his words, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, a pack of hungry wolves has surrounded us, and we only need to cut off the head of the wolf king to drive them away. Now we have no choice but to stand up and fight!" Fang has a chance!"
"Wolf King? You mean my elder brother Yang Baicheng?" Yang Shu frowned deeply. He understood it, but in his heart he didn't want to fight so early with his elder brother, because he might be taken advantage of by others.
"Yes, my lord. Now King Jing is the most powerful, and this time the siege is coming, and his subordinate forces are leading the charge. As long as we can defeat King Jing or make him lose his arm, we will definitely be able to escape from the situation.
And if King Jing shows his timidity, then it is not impossible for us to turn our backs on customers! "
