As the long night passed, a glimmer of light appeared in the east,
In the Youzhou Thorn History Mansion, Li Chongjiu sat in the mansion all night without closing his eyes, and Xu Wu and Wang Mahan were sitting on chairs with helmets and armor.
Wang Mahan had already drunk the teacup to the bottom, and he was a little impatient.
Xu Wu looked at Li Chongjiu, got up and said: "Envoy Qi, the sky is already bright, as long as you give an order, you will immediately lead the army to surround the Lu Mansion, and you will not be able to leave." β
Li Chongjiu glanced at Xu Wu, he knew that as long as he nodded his head, in half an hour, thousands of heads would fall to the ground. The longer Li Chongjiu is in a high position, the more indifferent he is to life.
He has given the opportunity to the Lu family, but if the Lu family no longer knows what to do and stubbornly resists to the end, at this point, it is not a line left, but a real move to destroy the door, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.
At this moment, the outside of the mansion said: "County Sima Lu Chengqing, bring Lu Ziqian's corpse to ask to see." β
When Li Chongjiu heard this, he said, "Please let him in." β
Immediately, Lu Ziqian walked into the lobby dressed in white and said, "Humble Lu Chengqing, meet the assassin history." β
"No courtesy," Li Chongjiu asked, "Why did Lu Juncheng come in white clothes?" β
Lu Chengqing wept and said: "Back to the history of assassination, Uncle Dou Jiande was in the house, plotting against him, and he tried to persuade him after knowing it, but Uncle Jia insisted on going his own way, and he couldn't bear to make Uncle Dou deeper and deeper, so he was poisoned and killed. Uncle rebelled, and Lu knew that it was difficult to get rid of it, so he removed himself from the official body and implored the assassin to be punished together. β
Wang Mahan. Xu Wu glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in the other party's eyes. I didn't expect this Lu Chengqing to be ruthless enough. actually killed his relatives and poisoned his uncle.
Li Chongjiu did not speak. Lu Chengqing then took out a piece of paper and said: "This is the list of people involved in the rebellion of my Lu family, and the people above have all participated in this matter, and now they have been taken down by me, and I will wait for the assassination to fall." β
Li Chongjiu took the letter, swept the name on it, and looked at Lu Chengqing, only to see that his face showed grief.
Li Chongjiu sighed, stepped forward to help Lu Chengqing, and said, "I know that you have a deep relationship with Lu's uncle and nephew. This righteous annihilation, your heart must be full of grief and compulsion. β
Lu Chengqing was even more sad when he heard this, shook his head, and couldn't cry.
Li Chongjiu said: "I will hand over this matter to Chen Sima, and Lin Sima and Sima will thoroughly investigate and convict you, not only will I not remove you from office, but I will continue to reuse it in the future, but Dou Jiande is already a big army." In the past few days, you have temporarily removed the post of county Sima, and cooperated with Chen and Lin to thoroughly investigate the matter, which is also to help you avoid suspicion. As for the Lu family, who has nothing to do with this rebellion. I will not pursue any of them, not only to keep them safe, but also to treat them equally in the future. What do you think of hiring virtuous people from them? β
Hearing this, Lu Chengqing knelt down and said, "Thank you Shanggu Gong for not killing." To make Jun benevolent and righteous, my Lu family is grateful. In the future, I can only report it by grass, and I have no objection to this matter, and the thousands of people in my Lu family will be subject to Shanggu Gong's fate. β
Li Chongjiu nodded, Lu Chengqing is a generous person, it is impossible to poison his uncle in person, this Lu Ziqian knew that after the defeat, he committed suicide and used his own death to protect the Lu family.
For Li Chongjiu, Lu Chengqing's attitude and sincerity to plead guilty on behalf of the Lu family this time have been achieved.
To be tolerant of the enemy is to be cruel to oneself, to accept it when it is good, and to give an explanation to its subordinates, and at the same time to warn those scholars with ulterior motives in Youzhou. In other words, if you kill them all, you will have a reputation for being unkind and unjust, and what warriors will be willing to vote for you in the future.
Within the Lu family, he eliminated Lu Ziqian, who opposed him, and reused Lu Chengqing in the future. Otherwise, if you really want to do things, with the Lu family operating in Youzhou for hundreds of years, and the protΓ©gΓ©s and old officials are all over the place, Li Chongjiu wants to completely eradicate the Lu family, and his own vitality will also be damaged, which is very unfavorable to the decisive battle with Dou Jiande and the fight for the world with Li Valve.
Looking at Lu Chengqing's expression, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart, this matter was handled quite satisfactorily, and he finally cleared up the internal troubles before the decisive battle with Dou Jiande.
Soon Lin Dangfeng and Chen Xiaoyi immediately entered the lobby and asked, "Shanggu Gong, what is the important matter of calling the humble position?" β
Li Chongjiu handed the list to Lin Dangfeng and said, "The two of you will go to Lu Mansion to get people according to the list, and Lu Sima will go with you." β
Lin Dangfeng glanced at Lu Chengqing and guessed most of the matter, Wang Ma Han said: "A certain army went with you, and they were all idle birds." β
"Wait," Li Chongjiu glared at Wang Mahan and said, "Who wants you to go." β
Wang Mahan immediately sneered back in his chair and said, "If you don't go, you won't go." β
Li Chongjiu said: "You are all rough people, rampage the inner house, what if you alarm the daughters of the Lu family, transfer people from the county government, if it is not enough, then transfer people from the county government." β
Lu Chengqing showed a look of gratitude when he heard this, Lin Dangfeng, and Chen Xiaoyi immediately went to the Jixian County Government to mobilize hundreds of fast catchers, government officials, archers and others, and went to Lu's house to get people together with Lu Chengqing.
When the two arrived at the Lu family, the Lu family did not dare to resist at all, they knew that they were coming to arrest quickly, and the officials were fine, but if they were officers and soldiers, it would really be a raid on the house.
Lu Chengqing directly called all the people of the Lu family to the compound.
The two of them saved convenience and took people according to the list, while Lin Dangfeng supervised the Lu family for many days and took more than a dozen people, these are all fish on the list that have not been recorded, and the only one is Lu Ziqian's wife and children, but they all committed suicide by taking poison.
Lin and Chen had no choice but to take these people and the corpses of Lu Ziqian's wife and children back to Li Chongjiu.
In the Assassin's Mansion, after listening to the two people's confessions, Li Chongjiu was very satisfied, and immediately asked Wang Jue of the Records Room to draft a list of books for himself and paste them everywhere in the city. The text told him that Lu Ziqian's rebellion was already a matter of ambush, and said that if he was left behind with the offender, those who were willing to surrender would be punished lightly.
The notice also has a list of more than 30 people who have been captured by the Lu family, and the notice says that these people will be investigated and convicted, if they are really guilty, they will be convicted according to the order of the Great Sui, and the sentence will not be heavy, nor will the sentence be light, if they are not guilty, they can be released, and at the same time, Zhao Heran, Gao Xudao and several famous figures in the Youzhou clan are invited to participate in the trial.
As soon as the notice came out, the news spread throughout the city in one day, and Li Chongjiu's open and honest approach made the people of the Shi clan unanimously approve, and the people who were panicked because of the rebellion of the Lu family and feared that there would be greater chaos were also relieved.
A storm that was supposed to be a catastrophe dissipated silently, making all forces relieved in the midst of this change.
At the same time that the Lu family was stable, the news came, Dou Jiande was in Leshou on the fifth day of the ninth month, saying that he was the Dou family of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his family was poor when he was young, and he cultivated between Qianmo, and he had no intention of being in the world, but later saw the three expeditions to Liaodong, and the people of Li suffered, so they had to raise troops and raise righteousness to relieve the people from fire and water. After five birds came to the court, auspicious Rui appeared in Jincheng, Dou Jiande was ordered by heaven, ascended the throne as the emperor, and was ordered to cut off the stubbornness.
And Youzhou Li Chongjiu stole the land of Jingbian Hou Luoyi, self-proclaimed as the assassin of Youzhou, and exhausted the army, the people of the Quartet hated it, Dou was the master of the mandate of heaven, and the people of Li were appeased, crusading against Youzhou, eliminating violence and peace, in order to comfort the Quartet.
Immediately after Dou Jiande sacrificed to the sky, he went to the altar to worship Gao Shida as the vanguard, Luo Chengzuo as the deputy vanguard, Wang Fubao, Gao Yaxian, Liu Heimin, Su Dingfang, etc. were all named generals, Song Zhengben, Ling Jing joined the army for the march, his wife and brother Cao Dan were in the line, and Zhang Xuansu, the squire of the Yellow Gate, stayed in the rear to provide grain and grass, raised 100,000 troops, and claimed to be 200,000 to crusade against Youzhou.
After Dou Jiande worshiped the generals, the Xia soldiers all cheered, and the Great Xia complied with the mandate of heaven and crusaded against the rebels, which was the right move, so the soldiers all had high morale and fighting spirit.
Dou Jiande dispatched more than 100,000 troops this time, and marched from Leshou in a mighty way. The array of the army, stretching from Leshou all the way to the city of Gaoyang, stretches for dozens of miles. The Xia army was in an endless stream, walking along the road, Lin Dangfeng's meticulous work was reported three times a day, and after Zhuo County's neighboring counties heard the news, they were all shocked overnight, and they all sent urgent reports to Li Chongjiu to ask for reinforcements.
After hearing the news, Li Chongjiu also fully mobilized, and at the same time convened all the ministers in the Assassin's Mansion to discuss the strategy of the Xia army. (To be continued......)
