Chapter 669: White Lotus Demon Sect! Stupid and Unaware Chief Minister!

Jinan, Shandong Province, Chief Secretary's Office.

Chu Gui, the chief envoy on the left, was discussing important matters with Zhang Hai, the chief envoy on the right.

Compared with the trivial matter of students not taking exams, they now have bigger troubles coming.

Not long ago, Tang Sai'er, a witch from Po Tai, rebelled and openly formed a "White Lotus Army" to resist the imperial court.

The White Lotus Army first conquered the important military town of Qingzhou, seized weapons, and opened warehouses to provide relief to the people. Gao Feng, the commander of the Qingzhou Guard, was shocked when he heard the news. He quickly led his troops to pursue him, and was surrounded by the rebel legions ambushing in the mountains. At night, Tang Saier suddenly An attack was launched, Gao Feng was killed, and more than a thousand officers and soldiers were wiped out.

Afterwards, states in Shandong responded one after another. The White Lotus Army swept through nine states and counties including Qingzhou, Laizhou, Juzhou, Jiaozhou, Anqiu, Shouguang, Zhucheng, and Jimo. The rebel team quickly expanded to tens of thousands.

They punished corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry in Juzhou, Rizhao, and Zhucheng. In Shouguang, Anqiu, Jiaozhou and other places, they "destroyed government offices and burned warehouses" and attacked the imperial garrison.

The whole of Shandong is on the verge of chaos.

Zuo Buzheng envoy Chu Lai is now in a panic. He feels that he is about to be in disaster!

At first, the White Lotus Sect spread rumors in Shandong to confuse the people. Chu Lai knew about this, but he didn't take it to heart.

Because the White Lotus Sect has been inherited for a long time, the imperial court repeatedly banned it and wiped out a group, and soon another group appeared. Moreover, they were just clowns jumping up and down, and they could not become anything at all, so Chu Chu He just informed Qingzhou Guard Commander Gao Feng and left this small matter to him.

Secondly, compared to the White Lotus Demon Sect, which was making small fuss, Chu Li paid more attention to the new learning mentioned by Yan Shenggong.

This new theory is obviously fallacy and heresy, no different from the White Lotus Demon Cult. But the key is that the White Lotus Demon Cult is rootless duckweed, but this new theory has been vigorously promoted by the imperial court!

The old man couldn't understand how the Emperor, who had always been wise and mighty, could do such a stupid thing, suppressing the orthodox Cheng-Zhu Confucianism and instead promoting the New Learning.

Cheng-Zhu Confucianism has been flourishing as orthodox Confucianism for hundreds of years. There are thousands of Cheng-Zhu disciples in the world. Why did the imperial court want to deviate from the classics and promote fallacies and heresies?

However, as the political envoy of Zuo in Shandong, Chu Lao did not dare to openly disobey His Majesty the Emperor's holy orders, and could only secretly hinder the implementation of the new learning.

When Duke Yan Sheng came to him and formulated a plan for students to strike out from the exams, Chu Li nodded and agreed without hesitation.

After all, he had been studying Cheng Zhu for his whole life, and he had risen to great heights by virtue of being named in the Cheng Zhu Golden List. He often regarded himself as a "disciple of the Lesser Sage" and "a great scholar of Cheng and Zhu".

Now that Cheng and Zhu are in trouble, how can he ignore it?

However, what Chu Lai never expected was that the White Lotus Demon Sect, which he had always despised, would cause trouble in the entire Shandong!

Now it is impossible for him to free up his hands to deal with the White Lotus Demon Cult, unless he reports it to the court and asks the court to send an army to suppress it.

But in this way, he, the governor of Shandong Province, has reached his end and is very likely to be imprisoned!

Thinking of the terrible consequences, Chu Lai couldn't help but tremble.

"How could this be?"

"How could things develop like this?"

"The commander of the Qingzhou Guard, Gao Feng, is really a fool. He died after failing to exterminate the rebels!"

Chu Lao roared angrily, feeling a little desperate.

Zhang Hai, the right chief envoy, sighed, his expression equally ugly.

"Sir, report it to the court!"

"This matter can no longer be suppressed!"

"If we delay any longer and wait for the White Lotus Demon Sect to capture the entire Shandong Province, we will not only be in a dilemma of life and death, but it will also affect the entire clan!"

Hearing Zhang Hai's words, Chu Li's heart immediately trembled.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, rebels have never captured a province!

If the White Lotus Demon Sect really captures the entire Shandong Province, it will be a fatal blow to the prestige of the imperial court, enough to shake the country of the Ming Dynasty!

And none of them Shandong officials will be able to escape, their homes will be confiscated and their families will be exterminated!

When he thought of the terrible consequences, any trace of luck in Chu Li's heart disappeared instantly.

"Report to the court!"

"Eight hundred miles urgent, hurry!"

At this moment, Lu Xin and Lin Zhong, Shandong's left-right and right-wing political advisors, rushed in rolling and crawling.

"grown ups!"

"It's terrible, sir!"

The old man looked at the two men with an angry look on his face. Before the two men could speak, the Imperial Army soldiers rushed in and restrained them all!

The old man was shocked when he saw this, and roared angrily.

"Bastard thing!"

"Who among you dares to treat me like this?"

"I am the chief envoy of Shandong Province, Chu Gui. Do you want to rebel?"

"President, right?" Gu Zuoshi walked in calmly, "Your matter has been exposed, and you will no longer be the chief envoy of Shandong!"

When Chu Lai saw Gu Zuo, his face instantly turned pale!

The censor of Zuodu, Gu Zuo!

How could he suddenly come to Shandong?

Is it possible that the imperial court has already learned the news?

Chu's calves immediately became weak, and he was still trying to survive.

"Master Gu!"

"Please give me a warning, Sir!"

"The matter of the White Lotus Demon Cult..."

Gu Zuo was stunned when he heard this, what is the White Lotus Demon Sect?

What else did this governor do without telling the court?

Gu Zuo walked forward quickly and flipped through the official documents in the official office. After a while, the Zuodu censor became extremely angry and kicked the old man to the ground.

"Chu Lao, Chu Lao, you damn fool, are you looking for death?"

"The White Lotus Demon Sect has swept across Shandong, and you still dare to hide it and not report it?"

"I wish I could kill you with my sword right now!"

Gu Zuo was furious. He really didn't expect that this old man could be so stupid and short-witted!

The matter of the study strike, UU Reading www.uukansｈhu.net The most he committed was an oversight. If he was involved in it intentionally, it would probably be a dispute of ideas. Considering his status as the second-rank chief envoy , the most that can be done is to be dismissed from office!

But things in the White Lotus Demon Sect are completely different!

Chu Lao obviously had the opportunity to kill all the demons such as Tang Sai'er, so that the following incidents would not happen again, but this idiot just thought he was right, and sat back and watched the White Lotus Demon Cult develop and grow, without reporting it to the court, until it led to the current evil consequences!

This old man should really be killed!

"Master Gu, listen to my explanation, Master Gu!"

"The official is just thinking..."

Gu Zuo was too lazy to talk nonsense to this idiot, so he immediately called Qianhu of Dongchang and handed him the official documents of the White Lotus Demon Cult.

"Immediately use your Dongchang channels and send it back to the capital immediately!"

"We must be quick, otherwise Shandong will be in chaos!"

When the Qianhu of Dongchang took the official document and read it, their expressions suddenly changed and they left in a hurry.

The White Lotus Demon Sect has swept across the entire Shandong region!

The court still doesn’t know about this!

Damn it!

Gu Zuoyu was still angry and looked at Chu Xi, Zhang Hai and others.

"Come here, arrest and imprison all the Shandong chief envoys and inspectors!"

"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

After hearing Gu Zuo's words, Chu Xi and Zhang Hai completely collapsed on the ground and fell into despair.

Gu Zuo looked at these two idiots who were causing harm to the country and the people, and he made no secret of his murderous intention.

"If you had reported it to the court as soon as possible, none of this would have happened!"

"Now you have not only implicated tens of thousands of innocent people, but you have also put yourself in a dilemma of life and death. Even after your family is confiscated and your clan is exterminated, your two names will be nailed to the history books, and you will be spit on by future generations and will be infamy for thousands of years!
