Wen Xu was slightly startled, and then asked: "So, Mr. Lu is dissatisfied with King Zhennan and King Huainan?"

These two people are in charge of the army, and their direction is very clear.

Lu Zhengyuan said calmly: "They have selfish motives. How can they succeed if their selfish motives are greater than their public motives?"

"The Southern Dynasty Army and the Zhennan Army have a total of more than 100,000 troops, but they do not attack or fight. Isn't this absurd enough?"

These words spoke directly to Wen Xu's heart.

"What Mr. Lu said is absolutely true. Selfishness is greater than publicity. Naturally, nothing can be done. It's just that the military power is on the side. This king is unwilling and powerless!"

Wen Xu couldn't help but sigh, feeling that the road to rebellion was dark and there was no hope at all.

"It is important to solve the crisis now, so maybe paying autumn taxes is not a bad thing."

"What do you think?"

Lu Zhengyuan said in a deep voice: "Paying the autumn tax means those two people have not done anything. This will naturally reduce their reputation. It is clear who is dedicated to the public and who is too selfish."

"Isn't this an opportunity?"

Wen Xu's eyes lit up.

He understood what Lu Zhengyuan meant and took the opportunity to make trouble and take power.

This is indeed an opportunity.

Even the officials in the Southern Dynasties were unwilling to pay autumn taxes. After the announcement of this resolution, it had a great impact.

This was not his fault, but the fault of those two people.

They would rather pay autumn taxes than send troops.

How can it be convincing?

This is where he starts to seize power.

"Master Lu will help me, right?"

"Whoever is really for the Southern Dynasty, I will help him. If the Southern Dynasty collapses, we are all doomed."

"But some people just don't understand this."

Wen Xu asked again: "I want to know how much corruption Dong Zheng committed during the raids on his house?"

"this......."

Lu Zhengyuan looked troubled, and then said: "I can't tell you, but if you find out yourself, it has nothing to do with me."

"Don't worry, I won't tell you."

Wen Xu knew Lu Zhengyuan's difficulties. He was just a worker and had no foundation in the Southern Dynasty. Such a person could not be persecuted and must be well protected.

In this way, Lu Zhengyuan secretly became Wen Xu's person again.

That night, he appeared at Dong Zheng's house again.

"Your Majesty, King Linxian went to the Ministry of Household Affairs not to check the treasury and tax rolls, but actually to check you."

"Check me?"

"What did he check on me?"

"Check that you were searching your home..."

Lu Zhengyuan didn't say anything, after all, it wasn't a good thing.

Did Dong Zheng reach out?

Of course I reached out.

People change, and when they take the wrong path, they start to fall apart.

Now Dong Zheng is no longer the general of the Nanfu Army he once was. He has become greedy and extravagant.

"This guy!"

Dong Zheng's complexion immediately became ugly.

"Check me?"

"What does he want to do?"

"Does he want to ruin my reputation and make me an emperor? He is dreaming. The Southern Dynasty did not have an army to suppress the south and it has long since collapsed. He pretends to be noble and arrogant all the time."

Dong Zheng scolded him harshly.

This was what Lu Zhengyuan expected, and he immediately started to add fuel to the fire.

"Because you did not send troops this time, King Linxian was very dissatisfied with you. He found that he was under the control of others without being in charge of the army, and he wanted to seize power."

"ridiculous!"

Dong Zheng sneered: "If he wants to get rid of me, I will get rid of him first!"

"No matter what time, Lu will always follow the lead of King Zhennan."

"Ha ha!"

The hearty laughter of the two people rang out in the room.

Because Dong Zheng was satisfied with Lu Zhengyuan's attitude, he was able to make suggestions and work conscientiously by his side.

Where can I find such a person?

Lu Zhengyuan was naturally more satisfied.

They talk nonsense when seeing people, and talk nonsense when seeing ghosts. Under his instigation, the conflict between the two became more and more acute.

In the past two days, Lu Zhengyuan was also stepping up his calculations. If the ten years of Yuanwu were used as the standard, the actual tax revenue was not enough at all, and some of the proceeds from house confiscation would have to be disbursed.

This is of course impossible.

After another discussion, it was decided to hand over the money based on actual collection.

Since the establishment of the Southern Dynasty, the Jianghuai and Jianghuai areas were merged and brought under the management of the Southern Dynasty, and Huaizhou tax revenue also arrived in Lin'an early.

The sum of the two places is not a small amount even if it is actually paid.

This was proposed by Linxian Wang Wenxu.

It's obvious that he also has selfish motives.

Most of this money and food will be used for military supplies and military expenditures. Who is benefiting from this?

It was an advantage to Dong Zheng and Fang Jie, which did not do him any good.

If he wants to seize military power, he must first make these two people lose their military power.

This was Lu Zhengyuan's idea.

Dong Zheng was very opposed to this.

But Wen Xu insisted that he was selfish and did not send troops first, and the two had a big quarrel, and the conflict was directly put on the table.

In the end, Fang Jie supported Wen Xu.

His reason was to stabilize the court first and then make plans after His Majesty left Beijing and the country.

This proposal has been supported by many people.

Dong Zheng left the scene angrily, taking several of his close associates with him.

The atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Wen Xu, who had always been relatively elegant, was furious because of this. He didn't expect Dong Zheng to be so ignorant of the overall situation.

If you leave the market like this, there will be no room for maneuver in the future.

This also strengthened his determination to get rid of Dong Zheng.
