Lu Yu didn't know how many people had kneeled before him in his life, but at this time, seeing these crippled subordinates who had been loyal and loyal in the past kneeling in front of him, with ragged clothes, disheveled faces, and loud cries, the whole family was moved.
His head banged on the stone slab, begging him for a way out. To be honest, Lu Yu felt really uncomfortable.
Even when the Ouchi guards and imperial guards looked over at him, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel that they were mocking or flogging him!
------- I worked so loyally for you that I became crippled and finally ended up like this! With such a ready-made role model, come on, I can do whatever I have to do. It's good to be worthy of the salary.
After Lu Yu asked a few more questions in detail, his heart felt even colder. The people in Qing Dynasty had been kneeling here for almost a day and a night. They were only a few miles away from his palace. If Mr. Hong hadn't come, they would have been here.
You still have to be kept in the dark! What if this time it’s not people who complain about injustice, but assassins? What if it’s an army that wants to change the palace?
At this time, Lu Yu suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, and felt that the military morale of the Snake-Eating Army he had worked so hard to build was rapidly losing, so he gritted his teeth and actually aimed at this group of people who were crying.
The old man knelt down.
At this moment, everyone around was shocked, and the guards all wanted to help Lu Yu up. However, Lu Yu was the king on horseback. He insisted on doing this, and no one could stop him. At this time, Lu Yu
Yu was also moved, knelt down and cried loudly:
"I, Lu Yu, am sorry for all of you. I made you bleed and shed tears after fighting for the country. But this is definitely not my true intention. Someone is deceiving China and foreign countries and stirring up trouble. Today I will give you justice."
At this time, Lu Yu not only wanted to appease his old subordinates, but also wanted to win over the military morale of his current subordinates. Therefore, he started killing in an instant!
The first thing Lu Yu sent the message was to the seven eunuchs from the inner palace. These people were responsible for passing on news from home and abroad, so that Lu Yu would not be blinded. After these eunuchs were called, Lu Yu did not ask the reason at all.
Without saying anything, he gave the order to kill him!
At this time, Cui Zhijie had already rushed over. He had just fallen asleep and rushed over in a hurry. When he saw this scene, his legs were shaking like chaff. He couldn't help but kneel down, but no one paid attention to him.
At this time, the eunuch of the "Yinyongjian" who took over the No. 1 soup in the world was also called over, but Lu Yu still ordered to kill him!
Kill the eunuch next to Cui Zhijie!
The Ministry of Household Affairs came on the spot and sealed the account of No. 1 Soup in the World. Anyone found to have any corruption or engulfment will be killed!!
With this killing, more than fifty heads were already rolling to the ground.
At this time, Lu Yu was slightly angry, but this was not the end. Lu Yu began to delegate power at this time. He asked the veterans of the Snake-Eating Army kneeling there what they were dissatisfied with, and stood alone.
They came out and said that when they were carrying the body, the government officials from Yedu came to drive them away and beat them.
Lu Yu's eyes turned red, and he immediately grabbed all the government officials in Yedu, identified those people, and killed them on the spot!!
Next, a child said that when they were kneeling here, a guard laughed at them, saying that they were making trouble for nothing, and even spat at his father. Obviously, the person who spat was also doomed!
At this time, Cui Yuemo, the commander of the Forbidden Palace, came out to dissuade him, saying that spitting would not lead to death. At this time, in order to restore the morale of the Snake-Eating Army, Lu Yu really refused to recognize his relatives and kicked Cui Yuemo over with a livid face, making Cui Yuemo vomit blood.
He was paralyzed on the ground speechless. At this time, Lu Yu started a big purge in the palace. He conducted strict inspections and investigations, and a lot of contraband was found. At this time, Lu Yu was getting angry.
When the butcher's knife was raised, everyone was killed without mercy, and immediately heads fell to the ground.
That night, there seemed to be a blood cloud hanging over the top of Yedu. Everyone was in a state of panic all day long. The ministers gathered outside the Meridian Gate one after another and asked Lu Yu to summon him.
Lu Yu was born in a humble beginning. It can be said that everything he did was killed with the sword in his hand. At this time, he suddenly felt a sense of panic and crisis. Naturally, he could only use blood and killing to reassure him!
After getting very angry, Lu Yu ordered that the homes of all those who were killed be ransacked! Their property would be divided equally among the veterans of the Snake-Eating Army who came to Weeping Meridian Gate as compensation.
In this case, it can be said that the compensation is quite generous, mainly because among the eunuchs who were killed, there were quite a few wealthy people. When Lu Yu saw the huge sum of money on the list, his eyes became even colder.
After passing by, he drove back to the palace.
Only the earth-colored Cui Zhijie was trembling and kneeling there, as if he were a stone statue, and no one paid attention to him.
After returning to the palace, Lu Yu still didn't sleep, pouring glass after glass of wine at him. After about an hour, the commander of the Ouchi guards came back to report:
"Returning to the Holy Spirit, there is no trace of other people in the turmoil of the No. 1 soup in the world."
Lu Yu suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes shot out with a fierce light, and said word by word:
"Are you sure? Do you know why I didn't use the Snake-Eating Army to investigate this matter, but you?"
The commander of the Ouchi guards said in a seductive voice:
"I know that because that person has a deep connection with the Snake-Eating Army, he is afraid of malpractice for personal gain, so he hired a slave. However, after repeated investigations by the slave, he did not find anything wrong. The best soup in the world.
At the time of the handover, half of the experienced clerks and shopkeepers resigned, and the key positions were replaced by "bank supervisors". There is irrefutable evidence that these eunuchs were corrupt and bribery. It was precisely because of bribery that the retired soldiers were killed.
It’s such a tragedy, if someone could point out something like this, it would be almost impossible not to see it.”
Lu Yu snorted coldly, waved his hand to let him go down, and his mood gradually calmed down. The uncomfortable feeling of being deceived and deceived by his confidants got better.
His feelings for Cui Zhijie were trust, just like the trusting and familiar feelings he had for an old dog he had raised since childhood.
His feelings for Lin Fengjin were mixed with friendship. To him, Lin Fengjin was not only a very capable minister who had never let him down, but also had a rare feeling of being a friend, even vaguely.
There is still a touch of brotherly friendship.
His feelings for Wan Helin were somewhat mixed with his feelings for his teacher. These three people were like an iron triangle, supporting the softest corner of Lu Yu's heart.
Although he was hurt by Cui Zhijie at this time, he felt somewhat comforted when he found that the others did not betray him.
At dawn, Lu Yu ordered the court to stop, but he received news that Lin Fengjin requested to meet the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit was missing, please hand over the information.
Lu Yu really didn't want to see anyone at this time, so he accepted Lin Fengjin's note. After reading it, a faint warmth arose in his heart.
Lin Fengjin's explanation had two meanings. First, he was interceding for Cui Zhijie, saying that he did something wrong this time not because he was not loyal enough to the king, but because he was too greedy and had no reason to kill him.
And it is easy to kill him, but the current sadness and pain will eventually pass. Cui Zhijie has followed you for decades, just like an old dog, with no merit but hard work. When the time comes, it will be difficult for him to live. If you are the king, you must
If you want to kill him, please go through the formal procedures of the Ministry of Punishment. If your Majesty still feels that this person is hateful and worthy of death during the Autumn Judgment of the Ministry of Punishment, then it is not too late to kill him. Please, Your Majesty, do not kill people at this time of weak rationality.
Lu Yu was really struggling with this matter in his heart. After reading this sentence, he felt that what Lin Fengjin said made sense and couldn't help but nodded. He also had the habit of reviewing memorials, so he drew the following
One horizontal stroke.
The second meaning of Lin Fengjin's note is that he took out the best soup in the world at that time to avoid suspicion, because the Snake-Eating Army was an army of the Imperial Guard, and he was supported by a minister like this, which was "worry and fear of slander".
He was worried about "ridicule", but he didn't expect that it would cause so many troubles. Now if Lu Yu doesn't mind, he is willing to take over and take over for you.
Lu Yu snorted coldly at Lin Fengjin's second suggestion. He was a little unconvinced. He felt that he also had Ruoyun, a civil servant under his command, and it seemed that he couldn't handle business matters without you, Lin Fengjin, so
So I put a cross under this suggestion.
After reading this excerpt from Lin Fengjin, Lu Yu finally began to feel sleepy. At this time, he felt that his mount, Mr. Hong, was reliable and trustworthy. No one else could trust him.
The husband took him to his bedroom and then fell asleep peacefully.
At this time, the concubines in the palace finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that the Holy Lord had rested. They knew that the matter had been revealed, but several scheming concubines asked more questions, that is
What did the Holy One do before he went to sleep? The first answer they got was to bring Mr. Hong over, and the second answer was to read a booklet.
-------At this juncture, there are still people who dare to submit the book, or can actually hand it over to Lu Yu?
Soon, these people all knew that it was Lin Fengjin who made the mistake.
The palace is a place where it is easy to spread news. Within half a day, almost everyone who was interested knew the contents of Lin Fengjin's excerpt.
In the next few days, these concubines went to "Lin Fu's" one after another to get the best monthly package, and those who already had a monthly package directly renewed it for one year.
A person who has a huge influence on the Holy Emperor and can provide help in times of need is worthy of a good handover.
After Lu Yu woke up, he wiped out all the positions on Cui Zhijie, who had already fallen unconscious on his knees, confiscated all his family property, and finally sent him a mission, which was the "Golden Cabinet". What does this mean?
It is the dirty work of carrying the toilet and passing the spittoon.
After Cui Zhijie heard the news, he started to cry under the quilt. The sound was louder than a wild wolf in heat ------- He really survived the disaster. Although his job was gone, he was still doing the most despicable dirty work.
Yes, but at least he can show his face in front of Lu Yu every day, which means there is still a chance of recovery!
If you are punished to guard the mausoleum, even if your duties remain unchanged, you will never recover. You can't show your face often in front of Lu Yu, and you may be killed by your enemy at any time! I will report you a serious illness.
Death means there is no hope of recovery.
Next, the position of the chief eunuch left by Cui Zhijie was divided into three. The position of eunuch Bingbi was set up to handle political affairs, the eunuch in charge was set up to handle internal affairs, and the eunuch in charge of handling secrets was set up.
Governor Supervisor, in this case, the three eunuchs will restrain each other and share power, and Lu Yu will feel much more relieved.
It is worth mentioning that Eunuch Li, who is in charge of the Governor's Supervisory Committee, is the guy who Lin Fengjin went to inform. Without Lin Fengjin's advance greeting, he would have been prepared to deal with his biggest competitor.
There was a stumbling block, otherwise, no matter what, you would not have gotten this position, so I owe it to Lin Fengjin.
Finally, Lu Yu accidentally mentioned among the courtiers who owned the "No. 1 Soup in the World" thing, hoping that someone would share his worries. However, when the people next to him heard this, their faces changed drastically. This thing is
It's a hot potato, and quite a few people have died just because of it.
Besides, who are the people raised here? They are all disabled sergeants who retired from the Snake-Eating Army! They are more uncles than uncles!
If you offend the uncle, you will probably be hit on the head a few times with a cane, but your head will not fall off and your property will be confiscated.
And if these people in the "No. 1 Soup in the World" neglect to do things, their bloody heads will be the end. How can you dare to ask them to do things? Who would do this after they are full! So one by one
All of them have become mouthless gourds, looking at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses.
Lu Yu was a little angry when he saw it, and naturally his face felt a little uncomfortable. The group of people observed their words and felt that it would be bad if they didn't speak, so a "smart man" stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, I think it is better to let Lin Fengjin continue to take charge of it? He founded this shop, and it has been operating very well under his hands before, and with his qualifications and prestige in the Snake-Eating Army, he can also shake it up.
These arrogant soldiers and strong generals, lest they become arrogant due to favor..."
These words immediately reached Lu Yu's heart, but they seemed to be stabbed in like a knife. Lu Yu immediately snorted coldly and said:
"I thought we had a lot of talented people in Daqi, but I didn't expect that even for a simple resettlement matter, I couldn't even find a replacement for the scholar. Is it because there are too many people in the corpse position, or is this just too difficult to handle?"
Hearing the words "vegetarian meal with a corpse", all the ministers felt as if they were pricked by needles in their hearts. If any minister left such an impression on the king, it is estimated that it will not be long before he returns home to farm. At this time, it is already
There was absolutely nothing to shirk. Wan Helin winked at the person next to him, and Li Ji, the doctor from the Ministry of Finance, stood up and said:
"I am willing to take over the No. 1 soup in the world."
After Lu Yu heard this, his anger calmed down a little.
However, after retreating from the court, Li Ji looked sad, grabbed the teacher Wan Helin, and kept calling for help. Wan Helin also went directly to find people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works, and said simply:
"I, this disciple, stand up to help everyone. If this matter goes wrong, Li Ji will not get any good results. This hot potato will have to continue to be dealt with by you. It's up to you to decide."
The officials from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development thought about the same idea, gritted their teeth, and offered conditions such as tax exemption, exemption of regulatory fees and miscellaneous fees, etc. The people from the Ministry of Works promised free renovations, etc. However, Li Ji was very dissatisfied and stayed here.
He refused to leave until the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue came forward and agreed to give the No. 1 Soup in the World a special monthly payment, which would come from military expenditures. This was when everyone was happy.
Of course, Lu Yu also knew about these private transactions of his ministers, but it only made Lu Yu sigh in vain. Although he was very unconvinced, he still felt that Lin Fengjin was indeed a rare genius in terms of business management.
.
At this time, Lin Fengjin had already set off for three days with a mighty motorcade, and had already passed the four-victory level. This is the advantage of having no official position and being light-hearted. I want to explain it to my master.
You can leave as soon as you leave. Once you take up a position in the yamen, you can only take a few days off during the Spring Festival every year.
***
Although it is windy and cold on the grassland, the breath of spring has inevitably penetrated in, and the grass on the ground has begun to appear light green shoots. Looking up from a distance, the grassland seems to be a large piece of grassland.
The lake-dyed coarse cloth, with patches of yellow and patches of green, is really beautiful. Occasionally when you pass by a river, you will hear the ice inside melting. The ice cubes will make one or two crisp sounds from time to time under the slow push of the stream.
sound.
Lin Fengjin and his party were walking slowly on this grassland, seemingly aimlessly. In fact, the few people he brought with him walked back and forth on this road seven or eight times a year, so there was no need to worry about getting lost.
Wait what's the problem.
It's just that this time Lin Fengjin established a private army and redeployed all the clerks and tour operators in his caravan. Most of the new caravans came now, and they had to be well trained, so the speed of travel must be
It's a little slower. But the Lin family is doing business all over the world, and the guys they recruit are all good people who have been carefully selected from remote areas where there is no food. Every one of them is very energetic, and they are all honest, loyal, and reliable. There is nothing wrong with them.
Habits can be trained very quickly.
As for the army that Zhang Lei went to train, Lin Fengjin knew that it would probably not be able to escape Lu Yu's eyes and ears, so the name was quite low-key and was simply called the First Brigade.
When they were separated last time, Lin Fengjin had already seen the results of Zhang Lei's training, which can be said to be quite good, because what Lin Fengjin asked Zhang Lei was to train to a level roughly equal to that of the soldiers of the Zhongtang Dynasty.
The last time Feng Jin saw him, apart from seeing no blood, he was indeed eight times as energetic as the soldiers of the Zhongtang Dynasty he had seen. However, this is also very different from the base of soldiers provided by Lin Fengjin.
Because of his relationship, the people he handed over to Zhang Lei had already received advanced military training, so it was not surprising at all to have such a level.
At this time, more than half a month has passed, and the training of the first team should be almost complete, and Lin Fengjin has very high requirements for this army. What he requires is that this first team will play a role in defending the city.
The role of the core backbone can at least unite and lead tens of thousands of herdsmen into battle. After all, this army is tasked with defending the city rather than fighting in the field. If such an elite level is used for defense, it should be more than enough.
Judging from the progress of the training at this time, Zhang Lei and others should be starting to prepare for the issue of training the herd slaves with a large team as the backbone. At this time, Lin Fengjin only hopes that there will be more time, and it is best to have another one
A month is not bad, but if you think about it, it is almost impossible. No matter how much the opponent delays the opportunity, it will not be delayed until that time.
Seeing that it was almost noon, the driver who cleared the road in front ran back waving a flag, signaling to stop and rest, and prepare to bury the pot for cooking. Even in summer, the temperature difference on the grassland is quite large, let alone the early spring season now.
?As soon as night falls, the breath almost turns to ice, so the caravan usually sets up camp at around four o'clock in the afternoon, and has to put blankets on the animals and build sheds, so three meals a day must include hard food and hot soup.
Belly, otherwise I really can’t bear it.
When a slaughtered sheep was cut into eight pieces and the aroma of gurgling came out from the pot, everyone present suddenly heard the faint sound of horse hooves in the distance. If you were on the road in this weather, you wouldn't be able to hear it.
The horse was galloping so hard, and once the sweat on his body froze when it got cold, half of the horse's life would be lost.
Everyone looked at Lin Fengjin, hoping that he could come up with an idea. Lin Fengjin stood up first and said:
"If you're not busy forming a formation, go and do what you have to do. You can tell by the sound of horse hooves that there are only two or three of them. Let's go and take a look first."
Soon, two or three people from Lin Fengjin's caravan galloped out, but they also quickly returned, holding a man off his horse. At this time, the grassland had not yet reached the "willow wind that is not cold on the face."
"In this world, this man's face is covered with a finger-thick layer of mutton fat. It looks like he has an extra hard-shell mask. His face cannot be seen for a while. He must have been riding a horse for a long time.
Because of this, my legs were stiff. After meeting Lin Fengjin, I drank a few mouthfuls of hot mutton soup. I finally regained my breath and said in a hoarse voice:
"Young Master, Young Master, I am Han Buli, and this is my seal."
Lin Fengjin took the seal in his arms and looked at it, then nodded and said:
"you say."
Han Buli said:
"The enemy, the enemy's vanguard has appeared. They have already come into contact with our sentinels and have captured a few prisoners. They say that the Allied Forces of the Seven Nations have come to attack our Wuzuo City. Please hurry up and take charge, otherwise,
, some people in the city are already unstable, which is not a good sign." (To be continued.)
