Chapter 727: There is a storm in Lu County 1
(Updated, broken!!) )
The much-anticipated Imperial Assembly passed, but the aftershocks it caused still shook the entire Wei State.
With five edicts, the monarch knocked nearly one-seventh of the Wu'an clan down to the clouds in one fell swoop, and all the clans of the clan were demoted to one level.
The most terrifying thing is that the Xie family, as one of the four major clans, ended up being killed by the whole clan......
What a severe punishment this is, this is the most thought of all those in the know!
But for the generals who followed Wei Wuji to raise troops, this news was enough to be very happy, and others suffered but they were the ones who benefited.
After these five edicts, Wei Wuji also issued another decree, that is, to give domestic officials to the captains of the capital, and those who have no titles will be knighted.
Among them, the captain will be given two knights, and the captain will be given one level!
This will is undoubtedly crazy, but it is the easiest way to win the hearts of the army, and the most backbone of the whole army is these captains and lieutenants, and Wei Wuji feels that it is necessary to win over these people.
At the same time, this kind of wanton reward of the title is also the fastest way to devalue the title, so that Wei Wuji can invisibly dilute the influence of the clan.
Think about it, when everyone has a title, will the Wu'an clan still have such a strong appeal?
When most of these generals from poor families have titles, even if they are low-level titles of the first or second ranks, they are not worried at all, because the monarch has just ascended the throne!
If they want to continue to follow the monarch, they have no possibility to go further, and even rise step by step!
You must know that there are already two first-level feudal monarchs now...... This can't help but make everyone think that they will not be able to achieve this achievement in a few decades.
…………
On the fourth day of the seventh month of the eighteenth year of the Marquis of Wei, in the southern part of the Wei State, the Wei occupation area of the Lu State, Xu Anhong just arrived here today!
In this land, which belonged to the country of Lu more than a year ago, Xu Anhong stood on the city and looked at the far south.
In that direction, the army of the Lu State was gathering, and the southern border of the Wei State was again in flames of war.
But what really unsettled Xu Anhong was the Qi army, which had already marched north, and they won a victory in the south, not only defeating the Wu people, but also incorporating Xu into their territory.
And now, the state of Wu in the south is fighting a fierce war with the state of Chu, but it allows the state of Qi to withdraw!
But this withdrawal means that the pressure on the southern border of Wei will increase, and to put it bluntly, the pressure on the Xiangping camp will increase.
Therefore, when Xu Anhong came to Lu County to inspect this time, he also transferred 10,000 foot soldiers from the Xiangping camp to ensure the stability of Lu County.
"General Zhuguo, you have really become the pillar of the country now, and the king really values you!" Before arriving at the barracks, a general beside Xu Anhong sighed.
This general is the chief general of the 10,000 foot soldiers brought by Xu Anhong, named Zeng Shou, who is now nearly forty years old, and was recently given the title of Shangzao by Wei Wuji.
Although the title of Shangzao is not low, compared with Xu Anhong's feudal monarch, it is more than a star and a half.
At this time, Xu Anhong said calmly: "Yes, the pillar of the country, ranked as a feudal monarch...... He is already a great man! ”
This is not bad, Xu Anhong can indeed be called the best of the people now, and his title and position have reached the peak.
But this is exactly what Xu Anhong is worried about, such a situation where there is no seal and no reward is actually very dangerous.
It's not just talking......
When most of the people in the army were applauding the five edicts, what Xu Anhong saw was the ruthless king behind the edicts!
If the Marquis of Zhao is ruthless, then this marquis is even more ruthless now...... After a few edicts, I don't know how many heads of the Qing clan doctors were cut off.
Wei Wuji can do it to these people, so will he do it to those who have high merit?
Xu Anhong can give the answer without thinking, this monarch would definitely do such a thing!
When the Huns entered the customs twice, Xu Anhong heard about the hidden secrets, and it seemed that there was a reason for Wei Wuji's laissez-faire.
At that time, Wei Wuji was still a son with no military power, and he could do such things in order to be in power, so what else could he not do?
Therefore, Xu Anhong sees his position very clearly, and he will naturally not be complacent like some people, but more cautious.
When Xu Anhong learned that he was also crowned, he even gave the court a thank you note, and at the same time politely refused the celebration party of the Xiangping camp.
After doing all this, Xu Anhong found that since the replacement of the old and new monarchs, he seemed to have changed as if he had changed.
Even at this time, Xu Anhong was asking himself, is he still the heroic Xu Zhuguo before?
So Xu Anhong could only comfort himself that he was old, and when he was old, he naturally lost his sharpness, so he was "relieved".
But deep down, I have to say that Xu Anhong still has a sense of loss, the monarch he worked hard to help up is not what he imagined!
Seeing Xu Anhongleng standing in place for a while, Zeng Shouzai next to him couldn't help but call: "General Zhuguo...... General of the Pillar Kingdom? ”
Xu Anhong woke up at this time, he didn't care about his gaffe, so he said: "Keep walking, the front is almost there!" ”
Zeng Shou nodded, their team still contains 10,000 foot soldiers, so they have to rush to the city of Lu County as soon as possible.
Zeng Shou was also an idle character, so he listened to him: "Zhuguo, this General Liu Xuanba, who is now stationed in Lu County, is really a ruthless person!" ”
In fact, Xu Anhong didn't want to talk much now, so he said casually: "Oh? What did General Zeng hear? ”
Zeng Shou laughed, and then said, "Do you still need to hear about this?" You see that we have come all the way, and the Lu people along the way have been treated obediently, which is very different from three months ago! ”
Xu Anhongdao still agrees with this, Liu Xuanba was sent to Lu County by him, and he has also achieved results!
But before Zeng Shou's words were finished, he listened to him continue: "The last general heard that after the new General Liu took over the burden of the third prince, he set up a harsh law in Ludi, and killed a group of people!" ”
Xu Anhong continued: "In troubled times, it is understandable to use heavy codes!" ”
Zeng Shou also nodded, and then saw him look left and right, and then carefully approached Xu Anhong's ear and said: "And the last general also heard that after Liu Xuanba deprived the third prince of military power, he also persecuted him......"
"I heard that when the third prince arrived in Wu'an, he was no longer human!" Zeng Shou said with some regret.
When Xu Anhong heard this, his face changed greatly, and his eyes were full of anger when he looked at Zeng Shou, this is also something you can say casually?
Whether this news is true or not, don't you know who the person behind Liu Xuanba is? You say that Liu Xuanba persecuted the third son, doesn't it mean that the monarch of Wu'an persecuted his siblings?
In fact, Xu Anhong, the third son, Wei Jianlin, also heard about it, but everyone kept it secret, so they deliberately downplayed it...... Not to mention that someone dares to associate it in this direction.
So, I heard Xu Anhong say coldly: "General Zeng, do you know the truth that trouble comes from the mouth?" ”
General Zhuguo's face changed suddenly, and it was still a little difficult for Zeng Shou to adapt, but he still explained: "The general forgives the sin, and the last general is just hearsay, saying that this is just to relieve the general's boredom!" ”
Xu Anhong still said in a cold tone: "General Zeng Shou should not get carried away if he gets the title, once such unfavorable words come out, he will lose his head!" ”
In order to make Zeng Shou understand the seriousness of the matter, Xu Anhong continued: "Don't forget, those people in Wu'an whose titles are several levels higher than you, the king has already killed a lot!" ”
"The heads of these people are still hanging on the palace gate, looking at us living people with their eyes open!"
Hearing Xu Anhong say this, Zeng Shou couldn't help but shudder......
So he couldn't help but look back on himself, only to find that he was reckless, these days he is immersed in the joy of the knighthood, he is indeed a little fluttering and don't know why!
If those words were heard by outsiders, it would be a big deal...... This is simply looking for death!
After Zeng Shou bowed to Xu Anhong, he said solemnly: "General, the last general knows his mistake!" ”
