Chapter 1110
"Ow!"
Zhu Wuji, whose thigh had been pierced by Shi Qing, let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
His body was convulsing with pain, and he cried out at the top of his lungs, "It hurts, it hurts so much I'm dying!"
"It's been bleeding constantly."
"Quickly, stop the bleeding for me!"
"I do not wish to die."
The spot where he lay was a mixture of urine and blood.
Zhu Wuji never expected that this crazy woman in front of him would actually dare to be so ruthless to him.
"Am I speaking to you?"
"Quickly summon the imperial physician to stop my bleeding."
Seeing that Shi Qing, who was holding a Miao sword, remained unmoved, Zhu Wuji turned and roared towards the door.
However, everyone who was guarding there ignored it!
At this moment, Zhu Wuji, who considered himself to be of higher status than the heavens in Shu County, completely panicked.
“Stone, azurite.”
"I...I am the Prince of Shu, a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty. If anything happens to me, you...you..."
'Sizzle.'
Before Zhu Wuji could finish speaking, Shi Qing grabbed his hair and lifted him up by force.
He was in unbearable pain; his face was contorted, but his eyes were filled with terror.
"King of Shu?"
"A vassal king of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Haha."
"Zhu Wuji, do you really think that being enfeoffed as the governor of Shu is due to the emperor's great favor?"
That's because of your incompetence.
"It was Emperor Qiming (the late emperor) who reached some kind of agreement with us, the Red Miao of Guanshan. On the surface, he sent you, this easily manipulated and useless piece of trash, to take charge of Shu Commandery. In reality..."
"It was the Red Miao of Guanshan that Emperor Qiming, Zhu Wushang, presented to me with his hands clasped."
"He, Zhu Wushang, wants to be reincarnated, he needs countless people to be sacrificed, and he also wants a good reputation..."
"So, we're pushing you, you fat pig, to the forefront."
"Otherwise, what merit do you, a piece of trash who hasn't even awakened his ancestral lineage, have to govern a prefecture?"
'Plop.'
After hysterically revealing these secrets, Shi Qing threw Zhu Wuji back into the pool of blood.
"Originally, if you had just been obedient, you could at least have lived a life of luxury."
"But what about you?"
"They insisted on testing the sharpness of my blade, spurred on by those aristocratic families."
"Okay!"
"I will grant your wish."
'Sizzle.'
"what!"
Before the words were even finished, Shi Qing swiftly severed Zhu Wuji's manhood with a swift stroke of his blade.
It turned him into a complete waste!
Shi Qing did not not want to kill him.
The time is just not right yet.
In particular, at this critical juncture when Xu Shan led his troops in a major offensive against Shu County, the living King of Shu was more valuable than the dead Zhu Wuji.
Every order she issues can be promulgated in the name of the King of Shu!
"Shi, Shi Qing, kill me, kill me!"
"You're going to die badly."
"The imperial cavalry will crush the walls of Chengdu."
"Xu Shan, who has stormed in, will definitely not let you, you vixen, go."
"Haha."
Upon hearing this, Shi Qing, who had been laughing wildly, was filled with disdain.
"Who?"
"Xu Shan?"
"The awakened ancestor will be laid to rest in the Miao territory."
"The seemingly invincible imperial army, once leaderless..."
"Without reinforcements, how long can they hold out in Shu County?"
"More importantly, I have another trump card, which I have already ordered to be sent to the capital."
"The crisis in Shu County will be resolved soon!"
……
Inside the Imperial Palace in the capital!
The diligent Zhu Youwei attended the morning court sessions multiple times within a week.
Previously, the focus of the court meetings was on matters such as the opening of the sea and the incursions by the northern Tartars.
The main topic of discussion this morning was sending reinforcements to Shu Commandery.
None of the civil and military officials in the court could have imagined that Xu Shan, who had only been in Shu for a little over a month, would not only quell the rebellion of the former Marquis of Bei with the force of an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, but also launch a surprise attack on Kuimen from within and without, seizing control of the entire eastern Shu region in one fell swoop!
At this time, the Shu army and the Shu forces formed a standoff between east and west.
But anyone with eyes can see it.
With only the Big Sword Battalion, the First Battalion, and the Second Battalion at his disposal, Xu Shan's current ability to occupy the entire eastern Shu region is already his limit.
In terms of military strength, it was not just difficult for them to advance westward and completely recover Shu Commandery for the imperial court, but it was completely impossible.
For this reason, Zhu Youwei wanted to transfer troops from the two lakes and Guanzhong regions into Shu and take over the entire Shu prefecture in one fell swoop.
Of course, in name only, it cannot be said that 'the lost territory has been recovered'. After all, the Shu Commandery is still under the control of the King of Shu.
"Your Majesty, He Zhishan, the leading gentry of Shu Commandery, and Prefect He, along with several officials from Shu, have submitted a memorial to the court..."
"The Princess Consort of Shu, Shi Qing, has usurped the power of the entire Shu Prince's residence and placed the Shu Prince under house arrest."
"As a result, the people of the entire Shu Commandery suffered greatly."
"In addition, the Princess Consort of Shu heavily relied on her clansmen and suppressed loyal officials."
"Now, the entire Shu County, from top to bottom, has been occupied by the Red Miao of Guanshan."
"It seems there is a trend of dividing up the territory."
"Although the Imperial Envoy Xu, who went to Sichuan, did his best to recover the lost territory, his military strength was constrained and he was unable to advance westward."
"Therefore, we, your humble servants, respectfully request Your Majesty to send reinforcements to Shu."
A minister's request opened today's court assembly.
The memorial was submitted at the request of He Zhishan.
The imperial court sent troops to Sichuan because the Queen Consort of Shu, Shi Qing, colluded with the Red Miao of Guanshan to seize territory.
The excuse was there, and the knife was handed over.
The imperial court's reinforcement of troops in Shu Commandery was therefore well-founded.
However, some ministers in the imperial court did not want the Shu region to be recovered so quickly.
There is no other reason...
The current "King Xu" is currently in Sichuan, locked in a full-scale standoff with the Red Miao of Coffin Mountain. He has also taken his elite troops with him...
This is why the proposal to open the sea in Jiangnan has been delayed despite their mediation.
But if Xu Shan resolves the crisis in Shu County sooner and leads his troops back to the capital, those court officials and gentry who were once controlled by "Xu the Half-Day" have no idea what to expect.
The main problem is that kid doesn't play by the rules at all.
What rules, what morality, what influence...
Lao Tzu, drawing your sword is justice!
More importantly, he enjoys extremely high prestige both among the general public and in the political arena!
Therefore, at the very beginning of this court assembly, representatives of the Jiangnan gentry and some ministers who opposed Xu Shan began to offer their advice…
The Li family of Longxi has been making frequent moves lately. The Guanzhong army must not enter Sichuan at this time!
Despite the presence of the Northern Tartars causing trouble, and the presence of the Northern Liang army to resist them, the imperial treasury is severely depleted and cannot withstand a larger war.
What truly broke Zhu Youwei's defenses was that Marquis Anping, a veteran of two dynasties and a man of considerable prestige in the capital, produced a 'last edict of the late emperor' at this crucial moment.
"Your Majesty, the late Emperor's last edict made it very clear."
"The King of Shu had limited abilities, so when the Shu region was granted to him, the late emperor selected a Queen of Shu to assist him."
“The Red Miao of Guanshan are relatives of the emperor.”
"Moreover, it is doing something of great importance for the Ming Dynasty, something that will elevate the nation's destiny."
"Until this matter is completed... no troops shall be sent into Shu!"
'boom! ’
