Lu Xuan looked at Zhang Zhao with a faint look in his eyes, and said calmly: "Zhang Shangshu's starting point is also for me to be king in the south and to be a solitary person. If I make progress, you can follow my progress, and the people behind you can make progress, no
?"
Zhang Zhao's scalp went numb when he heard it. He could hear the dissatisfaction and even more sarcasm in Lu Xuan's words. He knelt on the ground, regret growing in his heart, and said loudly: "My lord, you are guilty of underestimating your position."
Lu Xuan asked: "What crime do you have?"
Lu Xuan was grateful to Zhang Zhao.
When he had nothing, Zhang Zhao followed him decisively. He was the veteran under his command and the mainstay. It was precisely because of this that Zhang Zhao's changes now were something Lu Xuan didn't want to see.
You have your own selfishness, that's okay, you can have it, because everyone has selfishness.
This is normal.
However, if you want to form an interest group behind you and form a huge system, that won't work.
So Lu Xuan wants to beat it.
Zhang Zhao's body fell to the ground more and more. He had no intention of struggling anymore. He couldn't be deceived in front of Lu Xuan.
Zhang Zhao summoned up all his strength and said loudly: "Report to my lord, there are three major sins in lowering one's position."
Lu Xuan asked: "What are the three major sins?"
Zhang Zhao replied: "The first crime is to persuade the lord to advance without authorization and put the lord at a disadvantage. Both Zhou Yu and Lu Su have made it very clear that the lord cannot break the precedent of the White Horse Alliance. He despises his position and insists on going his own way, regardless of
The big picture.”
"The second crime is that as the lord's official, Cao Shangshu, he is in charge of government affairs and is also responsible for personnel affairs. Officials like Zhu Wen made auspicious and flattering acts, but did not stop them because of their despicable duties. Instead, they aided the evil and derelict in their duties."
"The third crime is to associate with the Cao family, the Peng family, the Chen family and other Yangzhou big families under a low position, and collude with them, intending to seek benefits for them, willing to stand up for them, and willing to fall."
Zhang Zhao's thoughts were expressed directly.
During this period, Lu Xuan's power expanded rapidly, taking control of Yangzhou and seizing Xuzhou, and his strength became stronger and stronger. So much so that Zhang Zhao also got involved with the powerful people in Yangzhou and became connected.
He was a little distracted.
Zhang Zhao regretted it endlessly and continued: "Beizhi definitely did not collude with Zhu Zhi, and he knew nothing about Zhu Gou. Beizhi just wanted to get the first success in persuading people to move in. Please tell me, my lord.
"
Lu Xuan stood up.
He walked down, glanced at everyone, and finally landed on Zhang Zhao.
Lu Xuan's tone was deep and cold: "Zhang Zhao, how long has it been since our good days? Have you forgotten how difficult it was for us to just establish a foothold in Lujiang?"
"The year before last, Yuan Shu arranged for Sun Ce to lead a large army and march to the city. We could only defend passively. Last year, Danyang was in turmoil. I mobilized all the troops to quell the rebellion, but the number of troops was even smaller than others."
"Until now, we are not strong enough."
"We have Cao Cao in the north, and Yuan Shao in Jizhou in the far north. These are our enemies, and they are all stronger than us. We are just wandering around Yangzhou. If we really go north, we will only be beaten."
"If now, we are pampered and self-righteous, we will start to fight for power within ourselves, and even start to covet pleasure. Yuan Shu's lesson is our future."
Lu Xuan's eyes became sharper and sharper.
His tone became more and more serious.
Lu Xuan walked up to Zhang Zhao, stared at Zhang Zhao on the ground, and further said: "Have you forgotten how Yuan Shu was defeated? Yuan Shu was arrogant, extravagant and enjoying himself, and his officials fought among themselves, so he died in Jiujiang
county."
"You, the head of the civil service, take the lead in fighting for power and profit, taking the lead in forming cliques, and taking the lead in offering auspiciousness. How can you behave like this?"
"Where is your original intention?"
"Did a wealthy family in Yangzhou buy you Zhang Zhao with just a little profit? This kind of Zhang Zhao is not the Zhang Zhao that I, Lu Xuan, know. The Zhang Zhao that I, Lu Xuan, know, is one who aspires to the world and can draw up the blueprint for the world.
, the person who can help me rise to the ninth heaven."
Lu Xuan knelt down, looked at Zhang Zhao on the ground, and asked word for word: "Where did this Zhang Zhao go?"
Everyone looked solemn.
Everyone looked at Lu Xuan with eyes filled with awe and more excitement.
Because Lu Xuan has great ambitions.
Zhang Zhao fell prone on the ground, listening to Lu Xuan's words, and thinking about what he had done, he felt extremely sad. Was he ever won over by a wealthy family in Yangzhou once upon a time?
Willing to seek benefits for Yangzhou's wealthy family.
I am willing to support the wealthy people in Yangzhou.
While Zhang Zhao regretted it endlessly, he also felt that he was unworthy of his trust in Lu Xuan. He looked at Lu Xuan in front of him, his eyes were red, and he choked with sobs: "My lord entrusted the rear to the humble post, but the humble post betrayed the lord's trust."
"This is a humble position, and I am ashamed of my lord."
"Please, my lord, punish me."
Zhang Zhao's eyes were already filled with tears.
He completely regretted it in his heart.
Lu Xuan looked at Zhang Zhao's appearance and was a little moved. He stood up again, looked around at the people under his command, and continued: "My goal, Lu Xuan, has never been Yangzhou or Xuzhou."
"Can we be satisfied with just two states, located in a corner?"
"cannot!"
"I have many talented people under my command. You, Zhang Zhao, have the talent to assist the country. You can take care of the rear for me and keep the food supply going. Zhou Yu can lead the army, fight for me in the world, and wipe out the enemies. Lu Su has long-term strategies and is able to make wise plans."
country, prepare a strategy."
"Other people, such as Yan Xiang, Gu Yong and others, are all very talented."
"Our foundation is no worse than that of any prince, no worse than Cao Cao, and no weaker than Yuan Shao."
"What we have to do is to lay a solid foundation step by step and move forward step by step. What we need is to be taken by our own hands, not by any auspiciousness."
"Yan Xiang is right in saying that this kind of method was done by Wang Mang and his ilk."
"That's usurpation!"
"It was obtained through conspiracy on other people's foundations. I don't even bother to do it."
Lu Xuan said loudly: "I, Lu Xuan, want to be king, and I will be a king worthy of the name. No one in the world can resist and stop me. I even hope that all the gentlemen will work with me to make this road more practical. Let's go hand in hand and work together."
Compete in the world, not play some auspicious tricks, not play some conspiracy."
"This is a humble position and I am unworthy of my lord."
Zhang Zhao burst into tears.
He knocked his head on the ground and banged it, feeling regretful in his heart.
"My lord is wise!"
Lu Su's eyes sparkled, he admired in his heart, and bowed in salute.
"My lord is wise!"
"My lord is wise!"
Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, Yan Xiang and others all saluted. Lu Xuan's words were the first time he truly expressed his ambition. However, such ambition was upright and not based on any other conspiracy.
This is what a hero does.
Lu Xuan nodded slightly. He wanted to integrate his thoughts through Zhang Zhao's affairs so that everyone could unify their strategies and completely unify their direction. His eyes fell on Zhang Zhao again, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhang Zhao!"
"The sinner is here!"
Zhang Zhao choked up and answered.
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "You go to the Five Classics Museum and serve as Doctor of the Five Classics, taking charge of the affairs of the Five Classics Museum. Zheng Xuan will be responsible for all teaching matters. You will be responsible for all logistics and external liaison affairs. When will the Five Classics Museum be ready?
, you will come back when you have made political achievements."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Zhang Zhao replied loudly.
His scalp was even numb.
He is the representative and leader of the powerful families in Yangzhou. Now, he is assigned to the Five Classics Hall to train scholars from poor families. For Zhang Zhao, it is a huge blow to the powerful families behind Zhang Zhao.
This method is too awesome.
Lu Xuan waved his hand for Zhang Zhao to stand up. He turned his eyes and fell on Pang Tong, making further arrangements: "Zhang Zhao went to the Five Classics Hall to serve as a doctor of the Five Classics. As for the official Cao, Pang Tong, as the official Cao Langzhong, temporarily acted on behalf of the official Cao Shangshu.
"
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Pang Tong bowed and answered.
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Pang Tong, Zhu Wen immediately dismissed from office, demoted to common people, and will never be hired. Zhu Gou Ming canonically punished and executed on the spot."
"As you command!"
Pang Tong answered immediately.
Gu Yong took the words and took the initiative: "My lord, Zhu Zhi took the Sun family to the sea to establish a foothold in the Japanese country. How should we deal with it?"
