Chapter 948 Provocation and Targeting!
Gu Zhilun traveled almost thousands of miles from Bingzhou to Bianzhou, but Lu Zheng's letter came, and he had no way to delay.
It seems that there are many ways for him to go, and he can escape, but according to the feedback from his own intelligence network, Lu Zheng has already made layouts in Liaodong, Northwest, Jiangnan, and even in Gyeonggi, and Gu Zhilun has no possibility of escaping.
The second way, Gu Zhilun can instigate some powerful families to rebel, but Gu Zhilun usually looks at the long-sleeved good dance, and has a lot of resources and strength in his hands, but once these so-called forces are broken, he finds that he can't mobilize a single soldier, and all the powerful families don't have a real army, how can they fight without an army? In fact, Gu Zhilun didn't have the courage to rebel at all, don't look at him in front of others, he was very strong in front of those powerful lords, he was very quick when he really met Lu Zheng, and he didn't have the courage to go against Lu Zheng.
The two roads don't work, and there is only one way to Bianzhou.
Gu Zhilun went to Bianzhou, led five hundred followers, and also brought seven or eight women to accompany him, not only that, according to his style of a marquis, every place to receive a leader is indispensable. There are eighteen dishes for each meal, not one dish is missing, and the requirements for the place to stay are also very strict, and some poor places in the cities south of the state do not meet the conditions, and they are all arranged in advance by the entourage led by Gu Zhilun, and they can be enjoyed only after he arrives.
Gu Zhilun's journey from Bingzhou to Bianzhou is not only Gu Zhilun's walking, but also many people are paying attention, especially Bianzhou, Shengjing and other powerful lords, they all have to see what the result of this confrontation between Lu Zheng and Gu Zhilun is!
Gu Zhilun's various things in the journey of thousands of miles were fed back to all parts of the country, and of course they were also fed back to Lu Zheng's side, Lu Zheng looked at the excerpt of the magistrate, and it said that Gu Zhilun would kill a hundred ducks without eating a meal, only take the duck tongue, and discard the rest of the department.
Gu Zhilun only eats live pork, so every time the cook kills the pig before cooking, only the tenderloin is taken, and the rest of the meat is discarded. Gu Zhilun asked for eighteen dishes for each meal, in order to purchase this banquet, countless resources were consumed, and Gu Zhilun did not go to a place, he needed to rearrange the palace, and there could be no less than eighteen rooms in the palace.
Lu Zheng looked at these excerpts, and was directly happy, and immediately ordered: "Take away the identity of the Marquis of Gu Zhilun, and in addition, degrade Gu Zhilun from the first grade to two levels, and directly change it to the third grade......"
After Lu Zheng's order went down, Gu Zhilun no longer had the identity of the Hou Ye, but the top of the three products was still there, but the local reception was also downgraded.
"Master Hou, it seems that the prince is really angry this time, before you arrived in Bianzhou, he ordered to deprive you of your marquis status, and also degraded your grade......"
Gu Zhilun let out a long breath and said faintly: "I have no other way for today, I can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, isn't everyone in the world watching this matter now?" Then let everyone watch!
How much I Gu Zhilun has done for Dakang over the years, and how many things I have done for the prince, everyone can also see! If the prince is so unkind, then what does he say? As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit dies, and the dog cooks, is my Gu Zhilun a cooked dog?
Listen to me, it's not a big deal, we still eat according to the rules, drink what we should drink, and play ......"
As soon as Gu Zhilun's attitude came out, it was a strategy that Qian Yunzhou offered him, that is, to take care of Zhilun to do his own thing without touching Dakang's laws, so as to attract more attention, but at the same time, many people will analyze this matter.
Gu Zhilun's trick is to advance and retreat, on the one hand, he wants to tell the world how he helped Lu Zheng fight the world, when Lu Zheng was the most difficult, it was Gu Zhilun who supported the business road alone, and helped Lu Zheng to support a huge army with huge wealth, Lu Zheng is relying on such an army to be able to make a comeback, and to be able to fight a bloody way to this day under the huge difficulties, occupy the Central Plains, and become the most powerful force in Dakang at present.
In such a situation, Gu Zhilun is a well-deserved hero, if Lu Zheng wants to do something to the hero this time, what will the people of the world think of this matter? Isn't this typical of the birds, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the dog is cooking? If Lu Zheng does this, he still has so many soldiers and strategists under him, will they rest assured?
It is no exaggeration to say that Gu Zhilun is deliberately creating a situation to take risks, the purpose is to bring Lu Zheng into the army! Now that the first step has been taken, the next steps are already difficult to ride a tiger, and I can't stop walking!
So the next farce is even more exciting, Gu Zhilun not only did not relent, but also intensified, after arriving at a certain place, whenever the magistrate was a little lazy, he immediately used his marquis's style, and he was punished and scolded in various ways, and the luxury of life was not reined in, and the materials consumed were even more remarkable.
Lu Zheng, who was in Bianzhou, was really happy, he had dealt with Gu Zhilun for so many years, and he had never seen Gu Zhilun so just. Is this old boy confused now? Is he begging for death?
In a trance, Lu Zheng remembered that year, at that time, Lu Zheng was just a concubine under the fence, and his life in Yangzhou was precarious. It was in that context that Lu Zheng met Gu Zhilun.
Gu Zhilun ran a bookstore at that time, and his character quality may not be able to enter Lu Zheng's eyes, and then in the end, the two had a lot of intersections, and finally Gu Zhilun completely took a fancy to Lu Zheng's potential and expressed his willingness to follow to the death, which is the story of Gu Zhilun becoming the first businessman in the world.
Gu Zhilun didn't know who was bewitched, and boasted that Lu Zheng was able to have today's ministry because of his Gu Zhilun's meritorious service, and he couldn't even understand a simple truth, that is, as long as Lu Zheng was there, and there was no Gu Zhilun, there was Ma Zhilun or Sun Zhilun, and Lu Zheng could find many people to do these things for him.
But Gu Zhilun got into the tip of the bull's horns, and now it seems that he is too inflated, and he really wants to make his affairs public to the world, and let the people of the world comment on him and seek justice!
In the face of such a situation, Lu Zheng actually has no way out, because others are staring at Gu Zhilun and also staring at him, Lu Zheng is determined to recuperate, that is, to build up the economy, to hide the wealth from the people, to make the people live a rich life, so that they can have the strength to complete the final unification of Dakang!
In this process, the biggest interference to him comes from the powerful and powerful, and the powerful and powerful enclosure divide the power of the country, so that Lu Zheng can not get the most reasonable joint force in the major political strategy, no matter what, the people around him consider the interests of their respective families first, so the harm to the country is too great, too terrifying.
The tragedy of the overly powerful power of the Dakang powerful family must not be repeated, and Lu Zheng wants to make an example of the monkey this time, naturally he wants to show his determination, in this case, Gu Zhilun does not understand Lu Zheng's determination, but provokes in this way, which is tantamount to a kind of "cooperation" for Lu Zheng.
In this way, Lu Zheng gave an order almost every day, degrading Gu Zhilun to a level a day, Gu Zhilun walked for a day, and the official position dropped by one level, and the official position dropped by one level, and the reception and the servants around him had to be demoted, so when Gu Zhilun walked outside Bianzhou City, he had been demoted to the county lieutenant from Jiupin, and his entourage was also reduced from more than 500 people to only two people, and a large number of women who followed him were all driven away, so he took two servants into Bianzhou City step by step.
After arriving in Bianzhou, Lu Zheng didn't see him at all, but directly asked the Third Division of the Criminal Department to interrogate him, you must know that Gu Zhilun has committed too many things over the years, and it is a big problem to catch him casually!
Under such circumstances, the Criminal Department and the Third Division quickly found a total of eighteen major crimes for Gu Zhilun, the first of which was to enclose land, take the people's land for private use, and make the people miserable...... This is precisely the most common trick of the powerful and wealthy, they let their family own the most fertile and vast land through various means, after owning these lands, they can control more people through the land, after controlling they can control the wealth, and even raise private soldiers, in short, enclosing land is the first crime of the powerful and wealthy families.
Gu Zhilun's second sin is to communicate with the enemy chieftain without permission, and this sin is to say that Gu Zhilun has contacted Gyeonggi many times, Jiangnan, and even Beiyan. Especially after Lu Zheng asked him to rush to Bianzhou, Gu Zhilun's first thought was to escape, and he used all his tricks to bring his so-called intelligence network to the extreme, and it was a big taboo to do so.
In fact, Gu Zhilun's style is exactly the same as many powerful and wealthy families, and a popular saying at the moment is the so-called century-old dynasty and thousand-year-old family, which means that no matter how the dynasty changes, the wealthy are still the rich, and the power valve is still the power valve.
In a sense, the powerful lords are above the court, because they have milk and are mothers, and when the building is about to collapse, they will privately connect with the enemy, and even some powerful lords will act as the enemy's internal response.
Lu Zheng did not resist the powerful and wealthy families, because they could not resist at all, and the nature of feudal society determined their existence. But the powerful and wealthy families that Lu Zheng wants are the wealthy families who want to be both prosperous and lose with him, those so-called wealthy families who are two-faced and three-stabbed, and see the wind and steer the rudder, Lu Zheng must be determined to eradicate them, only by eradicating these forces can Lu Zheng be stable!
