"Elder Hong is here, not just to show off your achievements!"

Lu Heng put down the teacup, looked at Hong Fat Man with a smile, and asked lightly.

"What a fart!" Hong Quan rolled his eyes speechlessly. Said with a sigh.

Who has ever seen the things that he embarrassed himself to show off as a record! Hong Quan said speechlessly.

Seeing that Yongzheng was still looking at himself with a smile, in those clear eyes, it seemed that everything could not escape.

Hong Quan smiled bitterly in his heart, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly arose in his heart. Yongzheng is a terrible character, hey, speaking of which.

As soon as I entered the door, I started chatting with him, and I never said anything irrelevant. However, how could this man know that there was another reason why he had come?

After putting down the teacup, Hong Quan put away the playful look on his face. Instead, there was a solemn face.

He got up and walked to the door of the inner chamber, shutting it tightly. Then he walked back to the table. Solemnly, he took out a letter from his sleeve and placed it on the table. Pressing the letter with his fingers, he looked at Lu Heng and said in a low voice: "Yizhou is here!" ”

"Oh, Yizhou?" Lu Heng frowned slightly, thought carefully for a moment, turned his head to look at Hong Quan, and said in surprise: "Old Zhang? ”

"Well, it's Lord Zhang!" Hong Quan nodded and said in a deep voice, and at the same time, he pushed the letter paper on the table in front of Lu Heng.

Lu Heng took the letter, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper in it, unfolded it, and a very warm smile flashed on his indifferent face.

"Yongzheng Xiaoyou" This is the first sentence at the beginning of this letter, and the vigorous and powerful writing reflects the tenacity of Zhang Lao's literati. "Jiang Ning said goodbye, thinking that it was more than half a year. I don't know if Xiaoyou is good, I don't know if Ning Yuangong is good, whether he has gone to Tokyo! ……”

Lu Heng pinched the letter paper in both hands, leaned back on the chair, and watched quietly.

After seeing the following, Lu Heng's brows furrowed slightly.

On the letter, in addition to greetings to himself and Wu Ningyuan, it is Zhang Wenshan's summary of what he has seen and known in Yizhou in the past six months.

Zhang Wenshan covertly revealed in the letter that the reason for the Miao rebellion was because of the exploitation and suppression of local Great Zhou officials. Moreover, there are multiple families involved.

In the end, Zhang Wenshan used a light tone to show his determination to destroy this group of black sheep of the Great Zhou.

Although, in the letter, Zhang Wenshan's tone is so bland. But Lu Heng could still feel Zhang Wenshan's huge indignation at what he saw and heard and his determination to make a decision.

After closing the letter, Lu Heng slowly stuffed the letter into the envelope, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and was silent.

Zhang Wenshan has lived in Jiangning for decades, and now it has been reactivated. Naturally, I have an infinite passion for serving the country in my heart.

It's just that it seems that the means are a little too drastic!

Lu Heng leaned back in his chair, thinking of what was said in the letter, Zhang Wenshan was ready to exterminate all the families that had been determined, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

It's not because Zhang Wenshan's wrist is too ruthless. Rather, it was Lu Heng who thought of the fate of those who were called cool officials since ancient times.

There have been many cool officials recorded in the history books, these people are either ruthless, iron-faced and selfless, or honest and honest, and their relatives do not recognize. They are often born in troubled times, but they will also be overwhelmed by troubled times in the end.

Although these officials are referred to in the history books as cool officials, this is only because of their ruthless skills and the Confucian concept of benevolence, which is not tolerated, and they are called cool officials.

In fact, speaking of which, these people are often loved by the people because of the iron-faced selflessness. They shoulder the holy decree to destroy the powerful and the powerful, and to destroy the people. Kill officials who violate the law and discipline. And these cool officials are very kind in dealing with the people.

These cool officials, like swords and bows and arrows in the hands of kings, will inevitably be rivers of blood when they are unsheathed. However, as the old saying goes, the bird hides the bow, and the rabbit dies and the dog cooks.

When they complete their duties, they are often swallowed up by the counterattack of the family clans that they suppressed at the beginning. And the king, in order to stabilize the country, will abandon them.

It's not that the king is cold-blooded and ruthless, this kind of approach, in fact, to put it bluntly, is the method of sacrificing the light and taking care.

Therefore, all the cool officials who have been recorded in the history books often do not end well.

From the Shang Dynasty of the Qin Dynasty, to the nephew of the Western Han Dynasty, to the later Zhang Tang. One by one, they all died in the end and had no place to be buried.

After thinking of the turmoil that Zhang Lao might cause if he used such ruthless methods. Lu Heng couldn't help but worry about him in his heart.

Seeing that Lu Heng read this letter, his face changed slightly. Hong Quan on the side frowned, pointed to the letter paper with a puzzled expression, and said, "Childe, this letter ......."

Lu Heng picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, pushed the envelope in front of Hong Quan, and said lightly: "Lord Hong, take a look!" ”

Seeing that Lu Heng's face was as calm as water, Hong Quan also knew that something seemed to be said in this letter. With a smile on his face, he opened the envelope and took a look.

......, after reading what Zhang Wenshan said in the letter, he was ready to destroy dozens of powerful families in the Yizhou generation, Hong Quan suddenly gasped.

On the letter, ten of the dozen or so families named by Zhang Wenshan are related to the families of the Central Plains generation. Some are even branches of the Central Plains family in the Sichuan and Shu generation. And these big families, ten out of ten have heirs who are officials in the court.

If Zhang Wenshan really wiped out these dozens of families, it would anger half of the courtiers of the Great Zhou.

"Master Zhang, do this. It's awesome! Thinking of the grim consequences that Lord Zhang would face once it came true at this time. Hong Quan squeezed out a trace of an ugly smile, and said with a dry smile without words.

Having said that, I was still shocked by Zhang Wenshan's skill.

Seeing Lu Heng turn his head, he looked at himself quietly. After Hong Quan laughed dryly, he finally put away the smile on his face, sighed with a wry smile, shook his head and said, "It's just that it seems to be a little too aggressive!" ”

He took a sip of tea with a trembling sip of tea. frowned and said: "It's just that the Sichuan and Shu areas have been difficult to reach since ancient times. There, there is often collusion between officials and bandits, and there are often cases of officials coercing the people to rebel. The emperor also vigorously rectified it, but the effect was not satisfactory! It is often the case that some officials who violate the law and discipline are killed, but the last successor official still follows the old path! Hey, so back and forth, to this day, the Yizhou generation is still like this! ”

He put down the teacup, with a look of helplessness in his eyes, shook his head and sighed: "So, Master Zhang can understand what he does!" ”

Lu Heng leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and shook the chair under him, holding the teacup while gently cultivating the fragrance of tea. Thinking about it.

"It's just, it's too awesome!" Lu Heng opened his eyes, sighed and said, "With such a state in Yizhou, I am afraid that some officials in the DPRK and China also have a relationship that they can't figure out. Today's Yizhou is a move to the whole body! ”

He held the teacup in his hand in the palm of his hand, warmed his hands, and said: "Zhang Lao has done such a simple way to wipe out the evil family, and I don't know how many courtiers he has offended secretly!" ”

On the side, Hong Quan pondered Lu Heng's careful analysis, touched his bare chin, and nodded approvingly with a worried look on his face.

After sighing, Lu Heng straightened up, his fingers lightly knocked on the armrest of the chair, and his eyes were full of melancholy: "Once these courtiers come back and deal with Zhang Lao, I am afraid that no one will be able to stop this force!" ”

After hearing Lu Heng's conclusion, Hong Quanshen nodded approvingly.

He has been an official for many years, so he can naturally see the stakes at this time.

However, he still felt in his heart that the consequences of this matter were not as severe as Lu Heng thought. After all, Zhang Wenshan did this with the support of His Majesty.

Thinking of this, Hong Quan lowered his voice, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty should be able to ......"

Although Hong Quan was sent to heaven and almost lost his head when he was in that incident. However, over the years, he could still feel the emperor's tolerance for him. Otherwise, for his repeated attempts to resist the order, I am afraid that he would have been cut more than a dozen times.

Therefore, he still has a sense of gratitude to the emperor in his heart.

Hearing that Master Zhang might be doomed in the future, Hong Quan was frightened and could only pin his hopes on the emperor.

Lu Heng looked at the bright sunlight outside the window calmly, squinted his eyes and thought about it, then shook his head with a faint smile.

"Could it be that Your Majesty will ......" Hong Quan's face changed slightly, and there was an unbelievable look in his eyes, and he asked in a voice.

Lu Heng held the teacup, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled: "At that time, the emperor will only push the boat down the river!" ”

Hong Quan's body was shocked, and his face changed. There was a look of surprise in his eyes. Lowering his head, his expression was a little erratic for a while, and he muttered in a low voice: "Could it be that Your Majesty would really do this?" ”

"Now in the court, although His Majesty is vigorously supporting the rise of the Shu clan, but for thousands of years, the strength formed by the family family cannot be changed overnight! Therefore, after the last incident with the Wang family, the emperor only disposed of an insignificant official, and did not do anything too radical. In doing so, the emperor saw the situation clearly. He was afraid that the action would be too big and provoke the huge force of the family. And make the country unstable! ”

Lu Heng sighed, shook his head with a wry smile, looked at Zhang Wenshan's impassioned momentum in the past although he was dying, he smiled helplessly, sighed, and said helplessly in his heart, this old man is really a tendon!

But...... Lu Heng picked up the letter paper and glanced at it, and this time he finally saw some clues.

What Zhang Wenshan said in this letter is also quite mysterious. In the letter, the old guy also said that he was going to do this, but he hadn't done it yet.

Since it has not been done, at least so far, nothing has happened.

secretly speculated on the meaning of Zhang Wenshan's letter. After thinking for a moment, Lu Heng seemed to have grasped some of the keys.

After picking up the teacup and tasting a mouthful of fragrant Longjing, he smiled and smacked his mouth and said: "Heh, however, I have to say that Zhang Lao's courage is really as sharp as Lord Hong said!" ”

Hong Quan, who was sitting opposite, with a shocked look on his face, was listening intently to Lu Heng's analysis, and when he heard the end, he never thought that Lu Heng would suddenly pop out of such a sentence.

Suddenly, Fat Hong raised his head, his eyes were full of sluggish looks, and he looked at Lu Heng in amazement. The mouth is wide open, and the two front teeth emit warm sunlight and flicker with fluorescence!

"What, don't you feel it, Lord Hong?" After Lu Heng took a sip of the teacup, he turned his head, looked at Hong Quan, who looked sluggish, holding the teacup, and asked with a smile.
