Chapter 2214 Delay
Because they disliked the prefect of Hangzhou so much, everyone submitted memorials one after another, unanimously requesting the emperor to recruit Shao Yunduan.
Everyone knows that Shao Yunduan defeated the prefect of Hangzhou and made him flee in disarray. As long as Shao Yunduan is recruited, let's see how that Liu guy can still be so arrogant!
Everyone still had a good impression of Shao Yunduan. After all, most of the old ministers came from the capital and were familiar with Shao Yunduan. The Third Prince had never had any direct conflict with the Crown Prince before, and he had no old grudges against Shao Yunduan.
Besides, the prince has passed away long ago. If Shao Yunduan comes and can deal with this annoying prefect Fu, he will be everyone's friend.
The prefect of Hangzhou knew what everyone was thinking and sneered inwardly.
He also fully agreed with this.
Why don't you agree?
He is now a popular figure in front of the emperor, and his daughter is also favored by the emperor. In the Jiangnan area, his network of contacts is much stronger than Shao Yunduan's.
Even though he can't do anything to Shao Yunduan now, as long as Shao Yunduan surrenders to the emperor, he will have plenty of ways to deal with him.
He was more eager than any of them for Shao Yunduan to submit to the emperor as soon as possible.
When they petitioned the Emperor to recruit Shao Yunduan as soon as possible, he immediately petitioned to express his agreement, speaking sincerely and from the bottom of his heart. The Emperor was very pleased and praised him for his broad-mindedness and for not holding grudges!
Seeing those people's frustrated expressions as if they had eaten a fly, he felt so happy.
It was also because he understood that what Shao Yunduan said was not groundless that Liao Mingzhong's expression changed slightly, and he instantly lost the confidence to continue to persuade him.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that the emperor now favors and relies on the man named Fu, Shao Yunduan is worried about this, so he has no reason to blame Shao Yunduan.
In today's world, what's wrong with a person thinking about his own safety first? Who can blame him for this?
It was impossible for Liao Mingzhong to tell Shao Yunduan the truth about how important Prefect Fu was to the Third Prince. He could only try his best to persuade him: "Shao is the top scholar chosen by the late Emperor. The late Emperor relied on Shao very much and regarded Shao as a pillar of the country. Now that Daqin is in trouble and the country is about to fall, please put the people of the world first and don't let down the late Emperor's trust and love!"
"The Emperor has always been filial and values Lord Shao just as much. Lord Shao, please consider this carefully."
Shao Yunduan: "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Liao. I will consider it carefully. However, this matter is of great importance, and I think I will not be able to give Lord Liao a satisfactory answer in the near future."
Liao Mingzhong quickly asked: "Then I wonder when Lord Shao can give me a reply?"
Shao Yunduan glanced at him and smiled: "It's hard to say..."
Liao Mingzhong...
It’s not that it’s hard to say, it’s that I just don’t want to say it!
Liao Mingzhong forced a smile and said, "Master Shao, please make a decision as soon as possible. After all, the situation does not wait for anyone."
"Well, I'll think about it."
At this point, Liao Mingzhong realized that there was no way to reach an agreement on this matter.
He didn't force it - after all, he couldn't force it even if he wanted to.
He was also worried that the prefect Fu would do something naughty around the emperor. He was a person trusted by the emperor, so it would be better if he was around. If he was not around, it would be even worse.
After staying for a few days, Liao Mingzhong said goodbye and went back.
The news that the Third Prince sent people to Huaixi Province, but left in disgrace after staying for a few days spread. The Second Prince was secretly happy and became more convinced that Shao Yunduan was firmly on his side.
