PS: Chapter 2, ask for recommendation votes!

The simply decorated hall was flickering with lights and candles, and there were neatly placed files and slips everywhere, and outsiders probably would not have thought that the administrative center of the Lu State was so simple.

After a few years, Zhang Mengtan grew a new beard, two sagittal whiskers accurately outlined the lip line, and there was a little more short beard on his chin. However, because he is well organized, he is more polite, he is now wearing a cloth robe, sitting in the general's mansion, the desk in front of him is piled up with letters and slips, and there are pen officials holding more important documents next to him, waiting for him to sign them, holding the pen for too long, outlining too much, Zhang Mengtan holds the pen on the slender knuckles are stained with ink.

If you don't know, I'm afraid you won't believe that this slightly thinner young man in his twenties is actually the actual ruler of the Lu State in the past year!

Compared with the ruling secretaries of the Central Plains countries, Zhang Mengtan is too young, and he is not high-born, just a doctor's concubine, but because he is in the first position of the family minister in Zhao Wuxian's forces, when Zhao Wuxian left, he was in charge of the Lu State as a family elder.

Because the current Lu State is like Zhao Wuxian's private backyard......

Although Zhang Mengtan is low-key, the world is still surprised by his youth and ability, and they have compared him with Chang Hong, the doctor who actually manages the Zhou family.

"But after all, it is still the courtiers who are in charge of the country, and it is not in accordance with the etiquette and law......" In addition to admiration, there are more discordant doubts.

The situation of the state of Lu was not optimistic, although it was reunited under Zhao Wuxian's crusade to the east and west, and the two huans and the doctors also expressed their submission. But it's only three years, and there is too little time left for them. Although the county system was introduced, the rule was too thin; Although the scholars were promoted. But he still respects the monarch and the secretary of the world in his thinking; Although the small landlords created by military merit and land were all over the country, their number and status in the township still needed time to grow.

Zhang Mengtan knows. This is just a forcibly pinched whole, and if Zhao Wuxian leaves the Lu State, the shogunate's military suppression in various places will be relaxed, and it will be met with a backlash from the Shiqing and the old nobles.

"How can a servant be young enough to take on such a heavy responsibility?" When Zhao Wuxian really wanted to leave the Lu State and entrust the state affairs to him, Zhang Mengtan was quite a little scared. Although he was young and wise, he was full of wisdom, but after all, he was too young. When he was in charge of national politics, when his childhood dream suddenly came true, he was too timid to accept it.

Zhao Wuxian said to him with a smile: "Because you are my elder, and you have won the country of Lu for me with all your wisdom, this responsibility of guarding Lu will naturally be handed over to you, except for Meng Tan, I can't think of any other suitable candidate." ”

The so-called "Zhao Shogunate" was completely supported by a group of young scholars with low status. Compared with Zhang Mengtan, whether it is Ran Qiu, Zai Yu or Kan Zhi, they are not as good as him.

Since Zhao Wuxian trusted him so much, Zhang Mengtan could only take over the mission head-on. But I still felt a lot of pressure.

It is easy to win the country, but it is difficult to defend the country, and such a heavy burden is suddenly pressed on the shoulders. Zhang Mengtan couldn't sleep well at first, it was simply unpleasant. He was in the time of "ruling the country" in this year. It can be said that it is like being on the edge of the abyss, like walking on thin ice. Think before and after every aspect, be careful.

"I can understand why Zhou Gong conquered Yin Shang and Dongyi back then, why he had to bathe and catch hair three times, and spit out three meals and three spit out......" He looked at himself who had been working hard all day long in Tongjian, and he had lost a lot of weight, and smiled bitterly.

Although he was tired and tired, with his efforts to maintain it, except for some small turmoil at first, the government of Lu was generally stabilized. The prestige of the bureaucrats of the Zhao Shogunate was not enough, so Zhang Mengtan personally went to invite Yan Yan, a sage of the Lu State who was in the opposition.

This Yan Yan is an old-timer who even Kong Qiu is very convinced, and more importantly, he is not the same as the Confucian disciples who are becoming more and more powerful in the shogunate. Yan Qi openly criticized some of the pedantic practices of Confucius during the Xianglu period, but because of public intentions, Ran Qiu, Zai Yu and others could not hate.

Zhao Wuxian also went to visit Yan Yan when he was there, but he couldn't induce him to come out, what the lord couldn't do, Zhang Mengtan did it, he didn't know how to persuade Yan Yan, and came out to be a national elder who helped Xuandejiao.

This is a sign of Yan Qi's blatant support for the Zhao shogunate, Zhang Meng talked about the hearts of the scholars of the Lu country by talking about the famous scholars, and the scholars of the upper class were peaceful.

Coupled with the military meritorious soldiers who benefited the most from the Zhao shogunate and supported the Zhao regime the most, the seemingly crumbling plate of the Lu State stabilized again within three months of Zhang Mengtan's acceptance, and withstood the first wave of temptation of the Qi people, without allowing them to take advantage of it too much. Moreover, he continued to export troops and weapons from west to west to help Zhao Wuxian win the war in Hanoi and Hebei.

But Zhang Mengtan knew very well that Lu not only had a foreign enemy, Qi State, but also internal hidden dangers, that is, in the process of Zhao Wuxian's theft of Lu, the interests of the nobles and doctors who were most damaged.

No, just after dealing with Xilu's urgency and Donglu's complaint, Liu Xiajiao walked in from outside, and he also maintained a certain degree of respect for Zhang Mengtan, and saluted slightly: "Old man, I'm here to restore my life." ”

"It's hard work General Liuxia, how are things going?" Zhang Mengtan didn't make a big deal at all, got up and smiled and saluted the thief.

The thief said with some pride: "Sure enough, as Zhang Zi expected, Ji Sun Xiao'er really planned something in the dark room. Ji Sunfei and more than ten others were arrested on the spot, and under the confession of Ji Yihou, a lot of letters between Ji's family, Qi Hou and Bao Mu were also found. ”

The surveillance of the Ji family lasted for several years, and when Ji Sunfei thought that the watchdog relaxed his vigilance and began to jump up and down after Zhao Wuxian left, he didn't expect that Zhang Mengtan's eyes had been staring at him all the time! and discovered this secret meeting that attempted to overthrow the Zhao Shogunate.

Hearing that there was no accident, Zhang Mengtan breathed a sigh of relief, "Dare to ask where these people are now?" ”

The thief grinned: "The Ji Clan's mansion is surrounded by me, and they are divided into different rooms. ”

The willow plantar is brave and strategic, and the thickness is fine, and the handling is quite appropriate. Zhang Mengtan was very glad that Zhao Wuxian sent this good helper to him, so that he had more confidence in defending the Lu State before the return of the monarch.

"Dare to ask Zhang Zi, what should I do with these people?"

Zhang Mengtan's slender fingers tapped on the desk, and after a while, he frowned and said: "Now the people of the Lu country are panicking, the Qi country has invaded the hinterland, and the rumors of the generals coming to Qufu are flying all over the sky. If Ji Sun Fei is killed at this time, he is afraid that he will shock the Lu people and cause even greater chaos, so he and the entire Ji clan will be completely placed under house arrest, and then let the lord fall after the war is over. ”

The thief pouted slightly, as a thief who was once wanted, he knew best the thoughts of those who tried to make trouble, and he sought wealth and danger! Only strict punishment and strict laws can make them jealous, and they should be used in troubled times!

This old man is still too soft-hearted.

However, the next sentence of Zhang Meng's talk made the thief dispel this prejudice.

"As for the others, interrogate them first, let them correct each other, pick out those who have committed more serious crimes, give Bai Aya, let them judge themselves, but leave a decent one!"

The thief was stunned for a moment, and then clapped his hands and applauded: "That's how it should be!" Several of them were already very unhappy to watch. ”

Zhang Mengtan's eyes were full of the calmness and ruthlessness of those who held the country's orders. "This is not enough, as for the convicted Ji Yihou, he usually misbehaves, often hooks up with the wife and daughter of Dr. Qing, which is disgusting, even if this person dies, it will not be missed, so he can be regarded as a typical example, sent to Dongshi, and beheaded in front of tens of millions of people! He died for Ji Sunfat, and by the way, he also told the Shiqing and nobles of Lu State......"

The young doctor put his hands behind his back, turned around and raised his eyebrows at the thief and smiled: "In the Lu country, under the rule of the Zhao family, the era of not punishing the doctor is over, if you dare to rebel against the shogunate again, no matter what your identity is, there is only one end, death!" ”

……

After the thieves left convincingly, Zhang Mengtan wiped the sweat on his forehead, Ji Sunfei and his party were wiped out, and the dark tide in Qufu City almost subsided, but the Qi army had already swept Xilu with its strength advantage, and I don't know when black clouds would overwhelm the city. What's more, outside the city, there are still people who are ready to move......

He muttered to himself: "Meng, Zifu He, I hope you won't be confused, let me be ruthless again!" ”

You must know that in order to fulfill the promise of helping Zhao Wuxian "defend the country", the Zhang family, who has a kind temperament and always keeps a bottom line in doing things, can always raise the butcher's knife without hesitation! No matter who the other person is!

Zhang Meng talked about Zhao Wuxian, not only the meeting between the monarch and the minister, not only the grace of knowing the encounter, but also the trust of friends in friends......

With such faith, even if he has worked hard in this Taidai land, he should repay him with death!

At this moment, someone from outside came in again, and Zhang Mengtan was used to it, and the shogunate officials basically came to ask him for advice when they encountered major events.

The footsteps are getting closer and closer, just look at the lights, but it is Kan Zhi who has just returned from Xilu, Zhang Mengtan smiled slightly, and stepped forward to greet him, this year, Kan Zhi can be said to be his right-hand man, fortunately, the lord also found such talents in Lu State.

However, Kan Zhi didn't have the heart to say hello, his face was solemn, his steps were hurried, and after coming over to salute casually, he said straightforwardly: "Zhangzi, I learned a message in Xilu. ”

Zhang Mengtan's spirit was shocked: "Oh, what is the news, it must be the lord's side......"

"It's not a patriotic country." Kan Zhidao, his face became more and more serious.

"It's the Jin Kingdom, the Han family, defeated again!"
