Chapter 41: Everything is for Profit

Later, some people said that on that day, the water of Dianchi Lake was stained red with blood; It is also said that His Majesty asked a Beijing temple to be placed on the shore of the lake, which frightened all the barbarians; It is also said that from that day on, after every nightfall, there will always be a crying sound in Dianchi Lake.

Some people say that it is the souls of those who have died unjustly crying; Some people also say that it is because the soul who has done evil has no ** return, and has become a lonely soul and a wild ghost, and cannot be reincarnated as a human being; Some people also say that it was His Majesty who used a spell to suppress the souls of those people forever at the bottom of Dianchi Lake, so that they could repent and reform.

No matter what, in short, Liu Xie killed again!

In fact, in the minds of many people, this situation has been known for a long time. Maybe those barbarians didn't feel anything before, but now this murderous 'Demon Emperor' is right under their noses, killing so many people in one day, it really frightens them. At the same time, he was secretly glad that His Majesty did not take such a 'cruel' method against them, otherwise, this Yizhou County really didn't know what to become.

The barbarians can think so, but the heroes and powerhouses in other places are directly frightened, and while they are secretly distressed in their hearts, they are also secretly glad that they did not listen to the deception of those people, otherwise, the next one is probably themselves!

Of course, there are also some heroes who can't stand Liu Xie's 'brutality' and move their families. Of course, it's more about turning the target from the field to the business. From Liu Xie's series of measures, many smart people can see that this tyrant is unusually disgusted with the occupation of land, but is not opposed to business.

From the business atmosphere and business heat in Yizhou for more than half a year, many people with brains have seen it.

Of course, not everyone will want to do business, because Liu Xie has already said that if he wants to do business, then his immediate family members are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination. If you want to be in power, don't go into business. If you want wealth, don't think about being an official. But this does not hinder the development of those families, there are policies and countermeasures! As long as the family is divided, one of them is in business and the other is administrative, won't this solve the problem?

This kind of thing, Liu Xie can naturally think of it. But this is also something that can't be helped, he can ban it again, but how can this be stopped! Throughout the ages, who can really stop the trading of power and money?

He just needs to act like a person and not be too blatant. At the same time, it is also to improve the law. Set up a framework for your future ambitions. Governing the country with filial piety and Confucianism alone is not ideal, and only by joining the law can it be relatively fair.

This is also the reason why he wants to break the exclusive Confucianism, as long as the rules are perfect, who said that a hundred schools of thought will not work? Of course, this process will definitely be very difficult and long-lasting, and it will not be achieved overnight, after all, this is not a single-player game, and you can easily rewrite the data when you think of it.

And this process is absolutely extremely difficult. From ancient times to the present, this has been the case for every reform. It's just that he knows one thing, all things, can't escape the word 'interests', as long as enough benefits are given to those who follow in his footsteps, not to mention that those who follow him will not easily abandon themselves, even those who want to share the benefits will join in and maintain this order together.

For killing so many people, Liu Xie's psychological pressure is actually not much. Although he also knew that there must be many innocent people among them. For example, some of the powerful clansmen, even before the incident, they didn't know what their head of the family had done.

But this does not prevent Liu Xie from killing them, who told them to be born in such a family! As the saying goes, cutting grass does not remove roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows. Even if the child was only a few years old, he didn't let it go. It may seem a little cruel, but why keep it!

Do they still have the seeds to go back and continue to rebel against themselves? In this era of fire, he doesn't want to do such a brain-dead thing. Even if he is called a tyrant, so what? If you don't kill people, people will kill you, there is no reason to talk about, there is no right or wrong to say.

Therefore, Liu Xie was at ease when he killed. The means of self-soothing can be described as clever.

……

The next morning, Liu Xie saw Wei Yan and Lu Kai at the Dianchi County Government Office, and looked at the appearance of the two of them, which showed that they had not delayed any time along the way. In fact, it was exactly like this, Lu Kai was much more anxious than Wei Yanke.

After all, Buwei is his hometown, if Wang Yu is mad, and after a long time, he thinks that Liu Xie will not agree and make them afraid and do some miserable things, then they will be miserable in the end. When the time comes, even if he lives, what's the point?

After meeting Liu Xie, Lu Kai gave Liu Xie a clear explanation of all the circumstances of Buwei, and finally exonerated Fei Shi, saying that Fei Shi did not know about this matter in advance, and he was only the last to be notified, in order to save his family, he could only temporarily be with the thief.

For this, Liu Xie doesn't care very much. As for Lu Kai, Liu Xie still has a vague impression. It's just that he didn't know where he had seen this name, and he couldn't remember the specific content. Yes, he doesn't want to evaluate this Lu Kai.

But judging from Wei Yan's private report, this Lu Kai is definitely a thoughtful person, and his courage is not small, otherwise, he would not be so calm in that situation, and he could still see Wei Yan's whereabouts. Such a person, as long as he is not an enemy, Liu Xie still likes it.

As for Fei Shi, Liu Xie is somewhat tired, after this time, he will not stay in Yongchang County, and go back to Chengdu to be a Beijing official! Of course, it's an idle job.

Moreover, Fei Shi did not participate at this time, which also made Liu Xie secretly relieved. He actually didn't want to do anything to Zhao Wen and these old ministers, after all, if he moved those old ministers now, it would bring some unstability to the court, which was not what he wanted to see now.

If you want to move, you have to wait until the world is almost unified. Of course, if the old guys really went too far, he wouldn't mind another assault. Since they want to make him unhappy, he is naturally not obligated to bring happiness to others.

"How is Brother Wu Yi?" Liu Xie suddenly asked Lu Kai.

Lu Kai pondered, and was a little confused about the meaning of Liu Xie's words. However, he also knew that the Wu Yi brothers were related to the former Yizhou Mu, but he didn't know what His Majesty's attitude was towards them. So, under the uncertainty of Liu Xie's thoughts, he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Captain Wu is a very good person, and he can treat soldiers equally, only ...... It's just that sometimes it's too talkative. Lu Kai pondered for a while and said: "He is brave and thoughtful, and he is also an expert in leading the army and managing the army, and he is a good captain!" ”

"Since you are thoughtful, how can you not see the movements of those barbarians, and how can you not see the abnormality of the powerful family?" Liu Xie frowned.

So Lu Kai smiled helplessly, "Back to Your Majesty, Lu Mou didn't mean to please Wu Duwei, in fact, this incident happened suddenly, as soon as the barbarians started to make trouble, they directly killed those prison officers, almost none of them stayed, they didn't seem to be just venting, but purposeful and methodical...... Yes, Fei Taishou also attached great importance to it at the beginning. But it's because they attach too much importance to it and ignore the existence of those powerful people. We only thought that this was the power of the rest of the princes trading with the leaders of the barbarian clans, but we never thought that it was not those who really traded with the leaders of the barbarian clans, but the powerful people of the world......"

"By the time everyone reacted, we had already been taken, and when Captain Wu was also leading his troops to suppress the barbarians, he was directly tied up by his soldiers. In fact, the eight-layer defenders of Buwei are all from major powerful families...... Even the lower officials ......"

Speaking of which, Lu Kai also felt quite ashamed. usually prides himself on being smart, but in this matter, he didn't find anything abnormal.

At the same time that Lu Kai was depressed, Liu Xie was also depressed, and at the same time looked at Jiang Li, as if asking: Why haven't those barbarian leaders arrived yet?

The reason why Liu Xie was depressed was entirely because the barbarians were instigated by Haoqiang to kill those prisoners, making these prisoners change from 'sinners' to 'martyrs', which made Liu Xie's idea of punishing them and thus their family directly frustrated.

Of course, in this way, the object of his punishment was transferred to the other powerful and barbarian leaders, although the purpose was similar, but the result made him feel that things were out of his control. This feeling made Liu Xie feel a little unhappy, as an emperor, he still had some desire to control.

Shaking his head and shaking off these helpless thoughts, Liu Xie looked at Lu Kai and said, "Then how is Lu Qing going to solve this matter?" ”

Hearing Liu Xie's question, Lu Kai was stunned at first, and then at the end he revealed a sense of excitement, and said: "What the lower officials mean is that the lower officials will be the internal response, drag the pace of the various heroes, and respond to the conditions of those people, and then cooperate with Your Majesty at the end, and take down those heroes and ......."

Brother Zhu, who had been sitting on the side and had never spoken out, couldn't help coughing when he heard this, and said, "Lu Gongcao, is this trying to limit His Majesty from being righteous?" ”

When Lu Kai heard this, he couldn't help but kneel down in fright, and said, "The lower official has no such intention. Xia Guan just didn't want those people to jump over the wall in a hurry and do stupid things that people regretted. If there is really a killing ring between the barbarians, then ......"

Seeing Lu Kai's sincere and frightened look, Brother Zhu bowed to Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, although Lu Gongcao's plan is a bit clumsy, if it is slightly changed, it can be used." Of course, this still needs Lu Gongcao's cooperation! By the way, I would like to ask Lu Gongcao, how many families in Buwei City have the same mind as Lu Gongcao? (To be continued.) )
