After returning to the house, Zhang Wenshan directly pulled Lu Heng into the study, and instructed those Qianniuwei that no one was allowed to get close to the study for half a step.

In the antique study, incense curls and is as warm as spring. The setting sun shone in through the window lattice, casting a dappled spot of light on the ground. This shone into the golden beam of light in the study, and tiny dust was clearly visible. With the breeze blowing, it flutters regularly.

On the wall facing the door in the room, there is a rare and confused plaque, and on both sides below the plaque is a couplet that he talked about when he was in Jiangning before, when he chatted casually with Zhang Wenshan and Wu Ningyuan.

The upper link is: the life and death of the country for profit; The following couplet is: Do you avoid the trend because of misfortune and fortune, but these are two verses in the verses written by a famous minister in later generations. It is about the people who are officials, have noble conduct, and have the ambition and ambition to serve the country and the people.

Now, this couplet is hung in Zhang Wenshan's study for self-encouragement.

Seeing Lu Heng raise his head and look at the couplet, Zhang Wenshan, who was standing on the side, raised his head to look at the couplet, and explained with a smile: "At the beginning, when I heard you talk about this couplet, I wrote it down!" ”

Lu Heng smiled slightly, nodded, and after withdrawing his gaze from the couplet, he looked at Zhang Wenshan, who was full of silver hair in front of him, and described him as much haggard compared to when he was in Jiangning. I sighed slightly.

If the country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of good and evil?

Oh, isn't Zhang Wenshan the person mentioned in this couplet, a true portrayal!

After the two sat down, they summoned their subordinates and made a pot of tea.

With the fragrance of tea, the two of them continued the things in the carriage and talked about how to deal with this family.

"In Chengdu, there has been a tradition of the Pao Ze brothers since ancient times. The officials here are influenced by this atmosphere. Over time, a situation of forming a party for personal gain has also been formed! Zhang Wenshan took the teacup, took a sip, frowned and said: "Moreover, Chengdu Mansion is far away from Tokyo, which is basically a situation where the emperor is far away. Therefore, violations of law and discipline have been repeatedly prohibited. Over the years, the collusion between the big families and local officials to harm and oppress the people has become more and more serious. Last year, the Miao people made a rebellion, and the cause was the Hu family's bullying of men and women. Over the years, although His Majesty has the intention to rectify it, he has no choice but to involve too much in the matter of Chengdu. Therefore, I am also cautious and do not dare to stimulate these people too much! ”

Lu Heng tasted fragrant tea while quietly listening to Zhang Wenshan's introduction to the situation in Chengdu.

"Now, in Chengdu, there is another scourge, that is, the Qingcheng Demon Dao!" Zhang Wenshan's eyes narrowed, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a sneer: "Moreover, according to the news that came, the families of Chengdu Mansion are all connected to this Qingcheng Dao!" It seems that there are many people who are still elders in Qingcheng Dao. Every year, they will give Qingcheng Dao a large sum of silver to promote the spread of Qingcheng Dao to the whole of Yizhou! ”

After hearing this, Lu Heng didn't seem too surprised. Along the way, I saw that this Qingcheng Road seemed to be flooded. If you think about it, you can also guess that this Qingcheng Dao must be related to the family. After all, the promotion of any organization requires huge financial support. Qingcheng Dao can have such a rapid momentum, and there must be the support of a big consortium behind it.

Lu Heng frowned, glanced at Zhang Wenshan, nodded, and continued to listen.

"So, you must be cautious in dealing with the big family. If you're not careful, you'll startle the snake. The bamboo basket is empty! Zhang Wenshan put down the teacup, frowned, sighed deeply, and said with a wry smile: "The old man has thought about it for a long time, but he has not been able to come up with a foolproof solution. ”

Turning his head and looking at Lu Heng, who was listening quietly, he smiled, hugged his fists and said, "I don't know if Yongzheng has a good plan?" ”

Lu Heng smiled, put down the teacup, thought for a moment, and then turned his head and saw Zhang Wenshan's eyes full of expectation. He smiled slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "I have some ideas!" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Wenshan looked overjoyed and hurriedly sat down. He hugged his fist at Lu Heng and said, "Yongzheng hurry up, the old man listens!" ”

Seeing this old man's serious appearance, Lu Heng shook his head with a smile, waved his hand and said, "It's just some ideas, and the right should be a reference!" ”

Stand up, walk to the fire, take the boiling hot water, and fill the teacups of the two of them. Lu Heng sat down at this time, held the teacup, and said quietly: "I just heard what you said, but I thought of something!" ”

He took a sip of his tea, then put down his cup, his fingers lightly touching the tabletop. There was a calm look in his eyes, and he reorganized what Zhang Wenshan had just said in his heart, peeled off the cocoon, and found out the key points before he said slowly: "So, now that I talk about it, this Qingcheng Dao is the biggest threat at present?" ”

After thinking about it, Zhang Wenshan nodded and said, "Well, you're right. The reason why those big families are so arrogant, in addition to their unclean relationship with local officials, is this Qingcheng Dao! ”

"There are countless Taoist sects in Qingcheng, and their strength is extremely huge. Even the previous Zhizhou, when he saw the head of the teacher surnamed Zheng, he had to give three points of courtesy to others! What's more, for Qingcheng Dao, those family clans who provide them with gold and silver are like their right-hand men, you think, if we move these clans, we will inevitably suffer from Qingcheng Dao's revenge, and even ......"

Zhang Wenshan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "It's a rebellion!" ”

When Zhang Wenshan said this, he naturally didn't say anything. Historically, there have been many people who have plotted rebellion and rebellion in the name of doctrine. is the ancestor of Qingcheng Mountain, it seems to be so.

"Hehe, but if we want to move Qingcheng Dao, we must start with this family!" Lu Heng nodded and smiled, took over the conversation, and after thinking about it, he said calmly.

"As long as these families are dealt with, it is equivalent to abolishing the right-hand man of Qingcheng Dao, and when the time comes, as long as we act quickly, we will not let them have a chance to react. Knock them all out in one fell swoop. That's half the battle. Afterwards, as long as the government is in Yizhou, it will be overwhelmingly publicized that Qingcheng Dao is an evil way. At the same time, those who have bad intentions and intend to incite rebellion will be killed. According to this approach, there is a year or two, and the matter of Qingcheng Road can basically be decided! Lu Heng knocked his fingers on the table, suddenly stopped, turned his head, looked at Zhang Wenshan, and said lightly.

In his calm expression, there is a bold wrist and ruthless measures. said it so calmly and unsurprisingly, such a meticulous and ruthless method, which made Zhang Wenshan's heart chill.

Seeing Zhang Wenshan's stunned appearance, Lu Heng smiled slightly, picked up the teapot, added a new cup of tea, took a sip, and continued: "Of course, this is all in general. Moreover, it is also an afterword. At present, the first thing we need to solve is how to deal with these disobedient families! "As Zhang Lao, you just said, the officialdom of Chengdu has long been infiltrated by the family and Qingcheng Dao. Moreover, it is estimated that many of those officials outside are believers in Qingcheng Dao! Lu Heng raised his finger and pointed out the window, and said to Zhang Wenshan in a low voice.

"This ......" Zhang Wenshan's face changed, and he just wanted to refute. But I suddenly thought of the attack I suffered not long ago. Suddenly, as if he had figured out something, his heart suddenly sank, and his face became extremely ugly.

"They ......" Zhang Wenshan took a deep breath, snapped, slapped the table, grimaced his face, and gritted his teeth: "They, this is looking for death!" ”

Lu Heng shook his head slightly, smiled and said, "Heh, actually, I don't care about their affairs!" They too are deceived! ”

"Hmph, these guys!" Zhang Wenshan snorted, but did not refute, acquiescing to Lu Heng's words.

Seeing that Zhang Wenshan had calmed down, Lu Heng continued: "Heh, so, if you want to move the family, then you officials can't count on it!" ”

"The only way to do this now is to enter Sichuan with the elite army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which has not been affected by Qingcheng Dao, outside of Tiyi Prefecture, and arrest these disobedient clans. to achieve a one-hit effect! Lu Heng took a sip of tea, turned his head, looked at Zhang Wenshan with burning eyes, smiled faintly, and said to him: "At the same time, the crackdown on Qingcheng Dao will also be launched." Moreover, it must be done with lightning speed. They can't react! ”

"As for how to mobilize the army, and then let the army enter Chengdu unnoticed, you should know it in your hometown!" At this point, the basic policy has been outlined. For the rest, Zhang Wenshan also knows what to do. Therefore, when Lu Heng said this, he stopped.

Zhang Wenshan nodded, thought about it, and said, "Your Majesty has granted me the right to act cheaply, and he has also granted me the Emperor's Scepter. With the Scepter, I can mobilize no more than five thousand troops. As for how these troops entered Chengdu, hehe, let them be divided into batches, change into the clothes of the people, and come in! Zhang Wenshan smiled, stroked his beard, and said happily.

"It's just that when we move the family, no matter how we take precautions, Qingcheng Dao will definitely learn the news. If you startle the snake and force Qingcheng Dao to take risks, wouldn't it be infinitely harmful? Zhang Wenshan frowned, and said with a sad look in his eyes.

Lu Heng smiled, took a sip of the teacup, and said slowly: "So, we must act both hard and soft. When arresting those big families, the charges can be set up a little nonsense, such as bullying men and women, and violating the law and resisting taxes. In short, in external propaganda, the word "rebellion" must not be revealed. Moreover, once you have caught them, do not put them to death immediately. Leave them in prison for the time being, and treat them well. In this way, it can create a false appearance for Qingcheng Road. It is not intended to be anything other than that the government simply cannot tolerate their evil deeds. When the time comes, Qingcheng Dao will inevitably send someone to the Zhizhou Mansion to intercede. And you, old man, so hypocritical, will definitely disdain those little ones who plead for mercy. Wait until it is delayed for seven or eight days, kill some insignificant people, and force the key people of Qingcheng Dao to appear on the scene! ”

Lu Heng paused slightly, took a sip of tea, moistened his lips, raised the cup, touched it on the cup in the hand of Zhang Wenshan, who was already shocked, and said with a slight smile: "When the time comes, a Hongmen banquet can hit Qingcheng Dao hard!" ”

Listening to Lu Heng's meticulous reasoning and strategy, Zhang Wenshan was extremely shocked in his heart.

He looked up and took a look. Lu Heng, who is still so light and calm, laughing and talking about the situation, is overturning the river and the sea in his heart, and he can't calm down for a long time.

After a long time, he stood up, tidied up his clothes, smiled sincerely, and hugged his fists at Lu Heng and said, "What Yongzheng said is like an empowerment. The old man is not as good as you! ”
