Chapter 53: Succession

The funeral was held in the afternoon, in fact, before that, the preparations were also prepared, but because the two sons fought for power last night, which eventually led to Lu Bu breaking the city, so that Yuan Shao's funeral could only be shelved, if Lu Bu didn't care, those courtiers who were loyal to Yuan Shao would probably also secretly bury Yuan Shao, but now that Lu Bu has decided to bury Yuan Shao, no matter how he looks at Lu Bu in his heart, at least in this matter, let these people have some good feelings towards Lu Bu.

"Lord, Duke Yuan's wife Liu and her family brought it." Jiang Jian led the hussar guards to escort a group of women and children up.

Lu Bu looked back, led by a middle-aged woman of thirty years old, as Yuan Shao's wife, not to mention virtue, at least the appearance is not picky, even if it is over thirty, it is still charming, perhaps it is a psychological effect, I always feel that between the eyebrows and eyes of this woman, with a little meanness.

"The concubine has seen the champion Hou." Seeing Lu Bu's view, Liu hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and saluted: "The concubine is the champion Hou." ā€

"Don't dare to be." Shaking his head, Lu Bu watched Yuan Shao's coffin being slowly lifted out, and said faintly: "The title of the general is above me, although the political views are different, but Bu has always admired the general, how dare Mrs. Lao make such a big gift?" ā€

"When my husband was alive, he often praised the champion Hou as a hero in the world, unparalleled in the world." Liu Shi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly raised a sentence.

These words are naturally polite words, with Lu Bu's understanding of Yuan Shao, just by coming out, Yuan Shao has a reason to rank Lu Bu at the end of the princes, even if he has great merits, he should look down on him.

"The general is lonely all the way, and it's not good to have no one to accompany him after all." Lu Bu didn't look at Liu again, clapped his hands, and several slave soldiers came out carrying an empty coffin and placed it side by side with Yuan Shao's coffin.

As if thinking of something, Liu's face changed, and he fell to his knees with a puff, begging bitterly: "Champion Hou spare his life, spare his life~ The concubine is not guilty!" ā€

"I want to spare you too." Lu Bu shook his head, looked at Yuan Shao's coffin, turned his head to look at Liu, and a trace of disgust leaked from his eyes: "Yuan Benchu is a dignified general, a generation of heroes, although he is hostile, he also respects his reputation, such a person, he can be defeated and die, but he should not die at the hands of a poisonous woman, if I spare you, wouldn't I tell the world that this move is okay?" ā€

"The concubine has no ......" Liu wanted to quibble, but his voice weakened when he looked at Lu Bu's cold eyes.

"Didn't you?" Lu Bu pointed to the surrounding group of Yecheng officials, and said with a smile: "These are all the ministers of the great general, you ask them, if they want to let you go, if they are willing, this general has nothing to say, let you go immediately." ā€

When Liu Shi heard this, a flash of expectation flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the people around him pleadingly, hoping that these Yuan Shao's courtiers could save her life by looking at Yuan Shao's face, but when her eyes looked, the eyes with disgust in her indifference made her heart gradually sink to the bottom.

No matter what attitude towards Lu Bu is, but Lu Bu's words resonated with these people, this kind of thing, if it is placed in the people, may not be a big deal, but Liu's influence is too great, she killed Yuan Shao, directly changed the pattern of the world, causing Yuan Shao's power to split, women like Liu's status often have an exemplary role, obviously, Liu is unqualified in this regard, if she is released today, will more women follow suit in the future?

"Come on, send your wife to be buried, be born with Qiu, and die with the same cave!" Lu Bu waved his hand and ordered someone to send Liu into the coffin.

"Nope! Lu Bu, you can't do this, I can persuade my son to come down! Beg the champion to spare me! Liu struggled hard, just a woman, how could she break free from the hands of the hussar guards, and was quickly pressed into the coffin by two hussar guards, and someone quickly closed the coffin board and nailed the coffin to death.

"Bang bang bang~" A violent crash sounded in the coffin, however, no one felt sympathy.

"Buried." With Lu Bu's order, the two coffins gradually sank into the tomb, and more than a dozen laborers began to fill the tomb with soil.

Looking at the tomb that was slowly leveled, a group of Jizhou officials had complicated expressions, for them, Yuan Shao represented an era, even if Guandu was defeated later, but Yuan Shao's position as the overlord of the north was still not shaken, but unfortunately, now that Yuan Shao is dead, everyone can see that the Yuan family is under the attack of the two princes, Lu Bu and Cao Cao, how can they stop the two evil tigers of Lu Bu and Cao Cao with only Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang?

When Yuan Shao was alive, neither Lu Bu nor Cao Cao dared to act in vain, but now, as soon as Yuan Shao died, Lu Bu was the first to come in, and directly captured Yecheng, which also made the prestige of the Yuan family almost lost, even if Yuan Shang could be revived in the Bohai Sea, but the gateway to Jizhou has been broken, with a broken Jizhou, a stinky boy who has not dried up, can he stop Lu Bu?

With mixed feelings, watching Lu Bu leave, except for Yuan Shao's funeral, Lu Bu basically ignored these people, because he knew that even if Yuan Shao was not mentioned, most of these Jizhou officials were from the family, and it was unlikely that they would really be loyal to Lu Bu at present, and Lu Bu also did not want to let the family enter the game too early before he established his authority in Jizhou.

Therefore, early the next morning, when many officials came to resign, Lu Bu accepted without hesitation, although Chang'an Academy did not cultivate any powerful figures, but in the past year or so, it has taught many cadres who can be competent for grassroots work, as long as the grassroots are not chaotic and the military power is in hand, no matter how fierce the struggle above is, it will not be able to jump out of Lu Bu's control.

What Lu Bu wants is that the order of this city can operate stably, as for these families, there are indeed many talents, but they can't be used by me, let alone kill for no reason, so he can only hang it first, if he can stand firm, these families will bow to themselves sooner or later in order to survive, if he can't gain a foothold in the end, even if Lu Bu puts down his dignity now and slaps them, it's useless, but it will fuel their arrogance, Lu Bu doesn't feel that his dignity has been cheap to this point.

Although it is not perfect, but with the breakthrough of Yecheng, Guangping County has gradually stabilized, Lu Bu is not in a hurry to continue to expand the results, Yecheng is different from Bingzhou, here is a real family everywhere, any strategy of Lu Bu in the past, in Yecheng will not work, he must fight steadily, step by step to digest his own results, and spread too open, these slave soldiers may not be as honest as now after they are far away from themselves, once the wildness is opened, it will also be a disaster for the people of the north.

In this era, from the high-ranking officials and nobles, down to the common people, the regional concept is very strong, and there is a strong xenophobia, Lu Bu's first step here is a little difficult, and the work of those officials who were sent to the grassroots level is not going well, and the decree issued by Lu Bu cannot be effectively implemented at all, even if it is a policy of benefiting the people, it will be resisted by many people.

"Lord, the family is indispensable in Jizhou, we can first attract a group of families for my use......" Jia Xu and Li Ru sat down with Lu Bu, helping Lu Bu deal with the copywriting, looking at the rolls of official documents, Li Ru couldn't help but suggest.

"The family wants to use it, but not now." Lu Bu shook his head, put down the official document, and rubbed his temples: "Our credibility must be established, so that the people can accept it invisibly, the government has absolute credibility, and at the same time, the majesty of the law is established, which people dare not touch!" ā€

Governing the country according to law, this is the core rule of Lu Bu's forces, and it is also the soul of Lu Bu's forces, Lu Bu can have a strong cohesion in Yongliang, Bingzhou, Hetao and even the Western Regions, it is because Lu Bu's government has a strong credibility among the people, which is also Lu Bu's bottom line, the family can exist, but it must be bound by the law, if you compromise on this, then everything Lu Bu has done before will lose its meaning, and in the future, even if he wins the world, what is the difference between it and the previous dynasty, it is still an unbreakable circle.

"It's just that at the moment, these families are secretly obstructing, and it may not be easy for our people to gain a firm foothold." Li Ru shook his head and sighed.

"It's not easy, then create the conditions to make it easy." Lu Bu leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest.

Jia Xu silently sat in the position of Lu Bu's hand, under normal circumstances, he will not easily express his position on these things, after nearly two years of promotion and implementation in Yongliang, the investment in the legal system is undoubtedly more amazing than the investment required for the rule of virtue, but in the same way, the results achieved are equally amazing, even if it is Jia Xu, I didn't expect such an effect, unceremoniously said, as long as Lu Bu is still alive, even if this battle does not get Jizhou, but any prince in the world wants to enter Lu Bu's rule without a million army and twenty years of struggle, It is absolutely impossible to do.

"That's it." After a long time, Lu Bu sat up, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Li Ru and said: "Send someone to investigate secretly, I don't believe that those families have no public grievances at all, let me even find out the bitter master together, a few things, let them make trouble, but secretly add fuel to the fire, and make the matter as big as possible." ā€

The family occupies most of the resources, rights and the right to speak, there is a good saying, absolute power will also lead to absolute corruption, it is undeniable that because of the innate cultural inheritance and edification and the different angles of the family, it is easier to appear talents than the poor family, but in the same way, the tree has dead branches, Lu Bu does not think that the children of the family are all virtuous saints.

If it is really a case of anger and resentment, even if the family relies on its family affairs, it is impossible for that resentment to be forgotten and dissipated so easily.

Since these wealthy families secretly blocked him Lu Bu, then don't blame Lu Bu for pouring dirty water on them, as long as this entry point is opened, Lu Bu can also take this opportunity to gain a firm foothold step by step from the hearts of the people, establish the credibility of the government, and at the same time weaken the influence of the family on the people's hearts, and directly skip the people's hearts and control them in their own hands, as long as this is established, the next step, you can start to accept the family, at that time Lu Bu's credibility is established, even the family can only be in the circle specified by Lu Bu.
