Abelo looked respectful and took the lead in saying: "Reply to your majesty, we came together because we received a message from Xizhou, saying that the newly appointed governor of the west, Shi Zhuge Liang, arrested local officials on a large scale during his tenure."
"After Zhuge Liang captured someone, he beat him to death, and finally executed him directly in front of everyone without giving him a chance to appeal."
"People in Xizhou are in panic. Please make the decision, Your Majesty."
Abelo said: "Xizhou surrendered to Your Majesty and became the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The good situation cannot be ruined."
Pu Dan also looked worried and said: "Your Majesty, when General Manager Xun governed Xizhou, everything was stable and without any disorder. Now in Xizhou, the people are in dire straits, which is not conducive to the development of Xizhou, let alone the interests of the Ming Dynasty.
.”
Chanshu said: "Your Majesty, please take a closer look."
Lu Xuan felt funny in his heart when he heard what the three people said.
For the time being, he didn't know how involved the three were, and he didn't know whether the interests of the three were harmed before he planned to deal with Fang Geliang.
Or maybe the three of them came on behalf of the nobles of the Western Regions.
There is no doubt that Zhuge Liang dealt with corrupt officials. Although he dealt with a group of Ming scholars, more importantly, he weakened the interests of the nobles of the Western Regions in Xizhou and eliminated many local forces.
Only in this way can Zhuge Liang further arrange more Ming scholars to control the Western Regions.
This is a common tactic used by those in power.
A person in power must appoint people on merit, but on the basis of appointing people on merit, he must use his confidants. If he does not arrange his confidants to serve, but instead arranges people who are against him to serve, isn't that asking for trouble?
As long as people govern, they must first arrange for their own people.
reliable!
loyalty!
These are preferred.
Lu Xuan supported Zhuge Liang, but he did not know the involvement of Chanshu and others, so he asked: "Zhuge Liang did deal with many people when he was working in the Western Regions. Were you affected by it?"
Pu Dan was a little sensitive when he heard Lu Xuan's words.
Something is wrong!
As for the emperor, there are some problems.
Pu Dan cheered up and said honestly: "Your Majesty, I am not affected. After all, the family's strength has migrated to Tianzhu and followed me to conquer Tianzhu. It's just that some old friends sent letters from behind, asking us to report.
Please make a decision before coming to see Your Majesty."
Chanshu said: "The same goes for me."
Abelo said: "I am the same."
The three people all have their eyes on Tianzhu and have transferred their power to Tianzhu. Furthermore, they themselves are quite well-behaved, so they have not been liquidated.
Lu Xuan squinted his eyes and asked, "Really?"
The words were very soft, but full of doubt.
Pu Dan even felt that the situation might be complicated, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true."
Chanshu and Abeluo also expressed their opinions, looking like they were swearing and swearing, and looking like they would let Lu Xuan handle it if their own interests were involved.
Lu Xuan examined the three people and said in a deep voice: "Since you don't understand the situation in the Western Regions, you should stay less involved. Otherwise, you will easily be used as a weapon. If someone in the Western Region nobles breaks the law and disciplines, they will naturally be dealt with. However, do things honestly.
, the well-behaved nobles of the Western Regions have not been punished. If you encounter something, please inquire more about it."
brush!
Abelo, Chanshu and Pudan all changed their colors.
They have been with Lu Xuan for some time and know him well.
Lu Xuan's words were already a knock.
thump!
Abelo was the first to kneel on the ground. He was terrified and even more angry.
Anger is exploited by those at the rear.
In this attack on Tianzhu, he has made great achievements, and there is absolutely no problem in serving as the governor of a county. If things at the rear affect his interests on the front line, then the gain outweighs the loss.
This time the nobles of the Western Regions went south, many of them were domineering and arrogant, and many of them robbed money and did not distribute it according to the original plan, and they have been punished.
However, Abelo never made any mistakes.
Abelo always restrained his soldiers, distributed the benefits according to the 50-50 ratio agreed with Lu Xuan, handed over 50% of the benefits, and then used his own benefits to encourage the soldiers, so that he had the opportunity now.
Abelo looked anxious and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on in the rear, and I definitely didn't get involved. This time, it's really just some close friends in the rear who sent a message saying that Zhuge Liang is domineering.
Say something."
"My goal is to serve the Ming Dynasty."
"I just want to make meritorious service in Tianzhu."
"If I am half-hearted and has ulterior motives, I am willing to accept any punishment."
Abelo's speech was a little incoherent, and he looked nervous and said urgently: "Your Majesty, please be aware that I, Abelo, will swear allegiance to Your Majesty to the death, and am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty. It is impossible for me to do anything illegal or against the Ming Dynasty, let alone go against the Ming Dynasty.
"
Plop! Plop!
Pudan and Chanshu also knelt down.
The two of them cursed in their hearts.
Looking at Lu Xuan's attitude, they knew they had been tricked.
Obviously, Lu Xuan knew what was going on in the rear and Zhuge Liang's handling. It was definitely the nobles of the Western Regions in the rear who were in conflict with the government for their own interests.
Now use them as guns.
Pu Dan knelt his head on the ground and said loudly: "We will follow His Majesty to the death without any second thoughts."
Chanshu said: "We follow your majesty's heart unswervingly. Everything in the rear is only due to kindness. Unexpectedly, we did bad things out of good intentions. Your majesty, I am willing to send a letter back, and these
People cut ties.”
Pu Dan quickly echoed: "Your Majesty, I am also willing to sever ties with them. Please tell me clearly."
The three of them talked to each other.
Everyone is very anxious.
The nobles from the Western Regions who entered Tianzhu went south to sweep the Tianzhu area. Pudan, Chanshu and Abeluo gained the greatest benefits. Pudan and Chanshu themselves were united and were relatively strong.
Abelo's abilities are relatively outstanding and they have their own system. They are already vested interests.
Don't want your interests to be damaged.
Lu Xuan saw the expressions of the three people and roughly understood that they were not involved. Furthermore, Zhuge Liang's letters did not mention that these people's families had committed crimes.
However, what needs to be beaten should still be beaten.
Lu Xuan hammered further: "At any time, you must be in awe, and you must think before and after doing things, and don't be used as a weapon. This time, I believe in you."
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Pudan, Chanshu and Abelo all breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Xuan continued: "Some of the soldiers from the nobles of the Western Regions who entered Tianzhu were well-behaved. However, there were also some who were disobedient and disobedient, allowing the soldiers to plunder, hiding money privately, and not turning it over according to the original plan."
"This matter will be left to the three of you."
"Go and make arrangements, and notify those who violate laws and disciplines to stop immediately and hide ill-gotten gains. Those who do not follow the regulations will voluntarily turn over their illegal gains. Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy."
"I obey!"
Pudan, Chanshu and Abeluo answered again.
All three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
At least we won't hold them accountable, otherwise we will definitely lose money this time.
Lu Xuan waved his hands and said: "Go down, have a good talk with the other people, and arrange things. I appreciate the contributions you nobles from the Western Regions have made in Tianzhu. However, I don't want to be the one to deal with people.
"
On the way south, Lu Xuan noticed the situation of the local people. The local people of India had a good life because of the overthrow of the Brahmans and Kshatriyas. However, Lu Xuan also heard about the nonsense of the nobles in the Western Regions.
In fact, no one can stop it.
As long as there are people, there is selfishness.
Some people just don't want to cooperate, they are selfish and want to gain more benefits. This time I received Zhuge Liang's letter, and these people happened to be here again, so I just dealt with it.
Take this opportunity to see if Chanshu, Abeluo and Pudan are on his side or on the side of other Western nobles on this issue involving the nobles of the Western Regions.
This is a test opportunity.
Take this opportunity to find out the following situation.
"I resign!"
Pudan, Chanshu and Abeluo retreated hand in hand.
Everyone walked out of the city lord's mansion and wiped away cold sweat.
Pu Shan changed his previous meekness and his expression became more serious than ever before. He looked at Chanshu and Abelo and said: "You two, we have been tricked. This matter cannot be settled like this. The nobles in the country must pay the price."
.”
Chanshu's eyes lit up and he said: "Yes, the three of us joined forces to order the people in the country who sent us letters to pay compensation. We were almost punished. If we hadn't upheld our integrity, we would have been completely ruined."
Abelo also said with murderous intent: "That's it, we must make it clear to the country."
He changed the topic and said: "We all know about the fact that among the nobles of the Western Region, there are people who hide money secretly and are unwilling to hand it over in accordance with the original rules. Now that His Majesty has arranged it, what do you think we should do?"
Pudan replied: "I think this is more of a test for us by His Majesty. If this matter cannot be done or cannot be done well, His Majesty will not entrust it with important tasks again. We already know the general situation and summon these people
Get up and order them to hand over their illegal gains."
Chanshu looked approving and said: "I agree with Brother Pu's arrangement. This should be your majesty's test. If you do it well this time, your majesty will approve it. If you don't do it well, your majesty will support someone else."
Abelo said: "Your Majesty has always been kind to his own people. If we have made meritorious deeds, Your Majesty will definitely reward us with awards and rewards. We must do a good job. Those who do not cooperate will be directly killed and their tribes will be annexed. All the money will be taken away."
Hand it over. Your Majesty cannot arrange the affairs of the nobles of the Western Regions, but we can arrange them very easily."
Pu Dan's eyes were burning and he said with a smile: "Abelo said it very well, just kill when you should. Your Majesty has given us the opportunity to annex the other party's forces. If we miss it, wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity."
"Yes, kill them all."
Chanshu also became excited.
The three of them have bright eyes and value money and interests.
Lu Xuan asked them to complete the task, and they had to do it. Under this premise, they could seek benefits for themselves, which was an arrangement that killed two birds with one stone.
The three of them went to Pudan's camp together, discussed it carefully, checked the situation of the nobles in the Western Regions, and counted the people they knew together. Then, they immediately arranged for someone to send a message to everyone to come to Pudan.
Discussing matters in a single camp.
After everything was arranged, the three of them looked expectantly, waiting for everyone to arrive.
