What's the big picture?

Lao Tzu has nearly a thousand years of knowledge more than you, looking at the past and present, grasping the overall situation of history, and clarifying the essence of all the famous villains in this era, can you deceive me? Playing the common trick of officialdom such as pulling the banner, it is easy to deal with ordinary people, and it is good to deal with my family, hehe, Lao Tzu can't torture you.

Zhao Yue was disdainful.

When Zheng Juzhong heard that all the officials of the Great Song Dynasty wanted to fight pirates, his face turned dark.

Not to mention the profligacy of the officials, who only hate the money and squander it recklessly, how can they use the money to suppress the bandits.

Whoever advocates letting the emperor pay will be hated by the emperor, and sooner or later he will be unlucky.

Lao Cai's people are Pixiu, and they have always only been in and out.

If you ask them to pay, no matter how little they pay, no matter how much they can get back, they are also committing their taboos and provoking authority. What's more, it is to ask these important ministers to set an example and dedicate a lot. It hurts like picking their skin.

offended the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and still want to have a way to live?

Lao Cai alone will rectify us and our family, and it is better to die.

Zhao Yue smiled: "Why are your faces so ugly? “

"Could it be that you think that Shengshang and Cai Xiang have low consciousness and are unwilling to contribute money and effort to their own country and duties?"

Zheng Juzhong responded, no, not responding, no, simply ignoring Zhao Yue's question.

Zhao Yue would not let them go.

You scumbags dare to bully my house, and you want to set up a clever name to loot the people of this state, and put the shit basin on my head.

"Hehe, I see. You are still highly conscious, and you are willing to sacrifice your wealth for the country and the people. Respectful and admirable. Zhao Yue was so moved.

When you donate money, Yue will definitely be present to announce the amount of money you have donated to the people, so that the people of Cangzhou can clearly measure and verify how much loyalty and sincerity you have to the country.

Enough sincerity. In the future, if anyone dares to question your integrity? The people of Cangzhou did not agree first.

You are for the country and the people. Good people have good rewards, and good officials should be even more so.

I heard that there are sons in the family who are not successful, and I regret that the children can't go on a career and glorify their ancestors?

My family can't see good people and no future.

As soon as the prefect said that he would assist in defense, he mentioned that the suppression of bandits was the business of the entire Cangzhou people, but I had a good way.

Defending the motherland, strengthening border defense, and fighting against the Liao Kou are also the business of every Song Dynasty person.

With such a high level of integrity, how can your family members sit idly by and not do their best for national defense?

So be it. I wrote to my eldest brother to send these children of your family to Cheongju to help defend them.

It doesn't matter if you don't write or not.

They live a good life, at least young and strong, all of them are literate, and they have been taught by you to be loyal to the monarch, patriotic and loyal to their duties, and they don't have to worry about them not doing their best, they can start from small things, such as conveying orders to the border fortress in the army, or guarding the border warning beacon tower, they can definitely take on the sacred responsibility, and the worst can also help build and strengthen the city, transport grain and grass during the battle, send bows and arrows, roll wood and stones, and do their best to strengthen our army's defense.

A son who eats meat is better than a common man who eats grass, isn't it?

As long as they do something in Cheongju and take some risks, my eldest brother will have an excuse to exaggerate their merits and go to the imperial court to give them an official and a knight. In this way, they have a future. You don't have to worry about it. Save yourself from staying by your side and doing nothing all day long, causing the people of Cangzhou to be hated, and damaging your reputation. ”

Zheng Juzhong listened to this, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold, and goosebumps all over his body rose.

We'll pinch your family's money. This boy wants our son to die. What a ruthless idea.

But after thinking about it, I was relieved again.

It's just a scare play.

I don't agree. It would be difficult for Zhao Gonglian to forcibly recruit their son to death. However, we have to guard against it.

Zhao Gonglian is not only a heavy minister who guards the border passes, behind him, there are strong reinforcements from both the military and political circles, and he has a good relationship with the emperor and knows the emperor deeply.

Even Lao Cai Jing, who has a deep foundation in the political arena and has unparalleled political skills, is very jealous of this young marquis, and regards him as a rare rising star who does not dare to have a contemptuous heart.

A political figure like Zhao Gonglian may not be able to skillfully get the son of a political enemy to the border to rectify it through some means, and even say that the emperor himself will make an order.

Zheng Juzhong secretly took a breath of cool air, looked at Zhao Yue, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice that this kid was too tender, and he actually leaked the clever revenge methods that he could use, just to use them as threats and play prestige, so that I don't have to be afraid of these means if I have precautions in advance.

He didn't know that Cangzhao not only rebelled, but also had a strong force and vast territory, and he didn't know that he was just a caged bird that Cangzhao could pinch to death at any time.

He didn't know that Cangzhao knew that he came to Cangzhou to govern with bad intentions, but he didn't kill him on the way to office, that is, to let him control and monitor the decorations of Cangzhou and Cangbei in Cangzhou, and use the emperor's high trust in him to achieve the purpose of making the emperor not worry and not suspect that Cangzhao was dangerous and harmful.

In other words, Zheng Juzhong dealt with Cangzhao, but covered up the truth of Cangzhao's rebellion, deceived the imperial court on behalf of Cangzhao, and invisibly became Zhao Zhuang's free umbrella, and was despised and hated before winning gratitude, which was very wronged.

If an official is replaced to govern, it will not be able to make the emperor and the court completely reassured.

Zhao Yue hated to strangle Zheng Juzhong and these people, but he was reluctant to kill Zheng Juzhong now.

Zheng Juzhong had a contempt for Zhao Yue again, put on a posture of single-mindedness for the public, and said solemnly: "At present, the elimination of pirates is the most important. All other trivial matters have to be put aside. The virtuous nephew agreed to borrow a boat and borrow the dock, and when he went back, he reported to his family and was ready to cooperate with the handover. This official is also worth the trip. ”

Zhao Yue didn't squeak, didn't respond to the virtuous nephew, and didn't affirm that he had agreed to the request, so he reverted to a expressionless face, and directly lifted the reins of the horse and turned the horse's head to leave, not even bothering to do the superficial farewell etiquette to Zheng Juzhong.

Wang chanted the scriptures and lifted the knife to open the way in front. Zhao Yue is behind.

The two of them slowly rode past the officers and soldiers' guards.

Hei Yongkang, Lu Caihou and others also figured it out at this time.

As long as he hugged Zheng Juzhong's thighs, Zhao Gonglian couldn't emphasize that they would return to Qingzhou to die, and his panicked and uneasy minds would settle down.

Looking at Zhao Yue again, they became more and more hostile in their hearts.

When Zhao Yue passed by Hei Yongkang's side, Hei Yongkang squinted and clenched his gun, wishing to stab Zhao Yue in the heart with one shot, but he could only watch Zhao Yue pass slowly and steadily.

I thought that was the end of today.

Unexpectedly, a special horsewhip nearly two meters long suddenly whipped on Hei Yongkang's head from behind.

Although Hei Yongkang is a general at the border pass, he has been absent from the battle formation for a long time, his martial arts are wasted, his skills are ineffective, his reaction is slow, and he is caught off guard, how can he dodge, he feels that his head is shocked, and the mighty iron helmet he is wearing is concave and deformed by the whip, and his neck is almost broken.

His head was buzzing, his eyes were clouded, he couldn't sit on his horse, and he fell headlong.

Fortunately, he used to be an extraordinary martial arts general, coupled with instinct, in the blink of an eye when he landed, he also knew the key to protecting his head with his head and covered his head, and supported the ground with both hands in time, and his palms were wiped off by the road sand into bloody flesh sand palms, which was in severe pain, but avoided the tragedy of bleeding and disfigurement with his head on the ground.

This happened suddenly, and no one expected it.

Hei Yongkang's personal guards also stared at the murderer Zhao Yue in horror, and he was stunned when he heard Hei Yongkang snort in pain. Some hurriedly dismounted to take care of their masters, and some stared at Zhao Yue with horizontal knives and guns, but they were afraid of Zhao Yue's identity, and hesitated to know whether to rush forward to retaliate.

Hei Yongkang's brain buzzed a little softer, and when he woke up a little, he pointed at Zhao Yue with red eyes and trembling and shouted wildly: "Kill him for me." ”

How many years has he been pampered and pampered, when has he suffered this kind of loss, at this moment he is angry and loses his mind, and he has no timidity and concerns, like a mad dog, he just wants to chop Zhao Yue into meat and mud to relieve his hatred.

Several guards responded with a promise, and the horses rushed over together, raising their spears at Zhao Yue and preparing to viciously stab a few bloody holes.

Wang Nianjing had long wanted to give these birdmen a little color, rushed over from behind Zhao Yue, the big knife flew, clicked, cut off all the guns stabbed by the guards, smashed them with the back of the knife, knocked these people off the horse in a few strokes, rushed to Hei Yongkang's place and smashed down the two relatives who supported Hei Yongkang, the tip of the knife was against Hei Yongkang's throat and sneered: "Dog thing, even my stern old lady is reluctant to point at my second master's finger, you slut dare to instruct the murderous slave to kill my second master?" ”

"Look for death."

Hei Yongkang was whipped by the whip at this time, and there was still a roaring sound in his brain, and he was still a little foggy, and he was not very stable when he stood up, and he couldn't resist Wang Chanjing at all, but he felt the cold and cold of the steel knife in his throat, and his life was in danger, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and his consciousness was also much clearer.

At this time, Wang Nianjing was lightly sent by the tip of the knife.

Hei Yongkang's neck was bleeding from pain, thinking that Wang Nianjing was going to stab him, and the fear of death essence of Wu Yong's iron bones was immediately revealed, so he was so frightened that he peed his crotch, and blurted out in horror: "Grandpa Haohan spares his life." ”

This plea for mercy silenced the noisy scene.

Ji Xingliang and Wei Jianye were angry and came to the rescue, and when they heard the voice, they couldn't help but look at each other, and their faces turned red.

The guards of the forbidden army who were not from Cheongju all looked at Hei Yongkang with their mouths open in surprise.

It was Cheongju who came and lowered his head in shame and twisted his face.

As a soldier, there is such a leader who is afraid of death.

Zheng Juzhong sat in the car, didn't see what was happening, heard the commotion, frowned and shouted angrily, "What happened?" ”

When he learned the truth, he was furious.

Cangzhao Xiao'er was so arrogant that no one was in sight.

He couldn't sit still, got out of the car, and asked Zhao Yue in person: "Zhao Yue, why did you attack my general for no reason and threaten his life?" ”

"Could it be that you can't see the court, and you have arrogance and rebellion?"

This time he was not buttoning his hat, but he really had some doubts that Cangzhao had a heart of disobedience, otherwise how could he be so bold.

Zhao Yue smiled, but his voice was still indifferent.

"The prefect doesn't know.

I've had an ability since I was a kid. Whoever approaches me will feel it immediately if he has the intention of murder.

When I passed by this black deputy commander just now, I clearly felt a strong murderous intent from him. I was afraid that he would go crazy and take advantage of my unpreparedness to stab me from behind with a black gun, so I involuntarily took defensive countermeasures.

Lord Prefect, if someone hates you for your life for no reason, will you take care of the law and wait for the murderer to kill you first? ”

This is obviously impossible.

In this era, even if you just glare, hate, or curse at the court officials in front of you, you will be taken down and punished. If it is suspected that someone has a ghost and may threaten the life of an official, he will first be severely interrogated, or even directly physically eliminated to prevent future troubles.

How could Zheng Juzhong know that someone was going to kill him and not treat people first.

Zheng Juzhong couldn't refute it legally, so he shouted angrily: "What kind of heresy? ”

"Evil words confuse the public, and there are many nonsense. Nonsense. You can't get away with it. ”

Zhao Yue said indifferently: "Okay, let's not mention the ability." ”

"The hatred of this brainless black general for me can be felt by a blind person. I won't feel it?

Why did he want to kill me so much. The reason for this is well known to the prefect. You don't have to be able to argue with your tongue. ”

Hei Yongkang's life is still under the tip of Wang Chanjing's knife.

Zheng Juzhong can ignore this, and he can just use Hei Yongkang's death to bring down Cangzhao.

It's a pity that Zhao Yue obviously wouldn't be stupid enough to really kill Hei Yongkang, and automatically sent the handle. Only the stupid Hei Yongkang, who was stupid, would think that Zhao Yue really dared to kill him.

Zheng Juzhong wanted to take Zhao Yue on the spot, but he didn't dare to do it here, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take it. In this way, we cannot ignore the danger of Hei Yongkang and chill the hearts of the soldiers.

I had no choice but to make concessions.

"Let go of the Black General. Otherwise, the official will be in your house. By holy decree, no matter how official your brother is, he can't protect you. ”

Zhao Yue smiled, "This kind of slut, killing him also defiled my family's treasure knife." ”

"Then again. If anyone dares to commit murder against me again, don't blame me for killing people without saying hello beforehand. God also gave my family the right to protect themselves. ”

He glanced at Hei Yongkang, whose face was as pale as earth and did not dare to be reckless, and then looked at Zheng Juzhong and said indifferently: "I have a few words to give you a parting word." My ancestors taught the younger generations that life is made by oneself, and happiness is born from the heart. In the house of goodness, there will be afterglow. Man, if you don't die, you won't die. “

Only then did Wang Nianjing put away his knife and escorted Zhao Yue away.

"Second master, my subordinates don't understand, it took more than ten years for our family to make Cangzhou rich and prosperous, and contributed a lot of taxes to the country; The eldest prince worked hard to govern Cangzhou in peace and tranquility, and Liaokou did not dare to attack. These gang of forced playmates claim to be loyal and patriotic gentlemen and ministers, come to sit back and enjoy their success, but they don't know how to be grateful and respect our family, do not do their duty for the country and the people, and are busy drinking flowers and drinking all day long to play with women to make money and scourge Cangzhou to deal with our family, and they don't do anything at all, how did their brains grow? Could it be that he is born with the heart of a beast who does not know kindness and righteousness and does not know shame?

If the people are in turmoil today, and the country is in turmoil, do these gang force them to do this, do they think that the civil unrest can't destroy the Great Song Dynasty and threaten them, or do they feel that the Liao Kou can't kill them who are shrinking in the city as turtles, and they can be the scum of the world unscrupulously? How could the emperor use this gang of coercive arts to govern the country and the country?"

Wang Chanjing's spicy questioning and mocking voice came with the wind. The officers and soldiers heard it clearly, and their eyes scanned the officials, silently expressing their contempt and disgust.

Zheng Juzhong's face was flushed with shame, as if he had drunk a vat of old wine, but the shame immediately turned into strong anger and hatred.

The way of thinking, morality, and professional outlook of bureaucrats are different from those of ordinary people.

In the Zhengju Center, making money and enjoying the natural power benefits of being an official, there is nothing that should not be done, doing things according to the emperor's (Shangguan's) wishes, and pleasing the emperor (Shangguan) is loyalty and justice. As for the rest, it's all. (To be continued.) )
