Chapter 163: You're Old

Xiliang retreated, and left a large public area on the border with Bashu as a courtesy exchange, this area can be reconnoitred by both sides, and also serves as a strategic buffer zone. The people of Bashu quickly settled down under the governance of Qi Shuhai, and after the corresponding officials came, Qi Shuhai evacuated the management of Bashu and rushed back to Shandong. After all, that's where he belongs, and there's his beloved waiting for him.

In addition, Bashu began to enjoy the treatment that the people of the new country should have, these policies made them feel very novel and unheard of, and some people even suspected that this was just Lu Bing's deliberate show, nothing more than to show the people of Bashu. Without Zhu Houxi's seclusion and seclusion, news continued to reach the ears of the people, and they found that this was the case in the new country, everyone was equal, and there was no class difference in personality. At the same time, he did not hire the heavy law because of Bashu's previous resistance, which made the last trace of worry of the Bashu people disappear. Zhu Houxi's image collapsed in an instant, and everyone learned that the original court was just deceiving everyone, and the new country was the real country of goodness. In the face of deception, the masses were angry, and the fresh policies and relaxed treatment made the people of Bashu feel like they were drinking sweet dew.

The people of Bashu lived happily under the national policy and official system of the new state, and began to restore the economy that had been destroyed by the war, but the damage was not severe. They finally have the feeling of being alive and the dignity of being alive, but the next few things let them see the benevolent and righteous side of the new country, and at the same time, they have a strict law and discipline, and they must repay themselves.

The first is to build a mausoleum for Yang Tinghe and give him the nickname "Duke Wen". Yang Tinghe is originally from Sichuan. The official to the position of the first assistant, high morality, once had "Yang Gong independent." Where is the king of the world". Although the remnant Ming regime did not give Yang Tinghe much praise, because of Zhu Houxi's stubbornness and resentment, and did not give Yang Tinghe any grace or inscription, Yang Tinghe is still a proud figure among the people. Therefore, this move is not only to comfort Yang Ting and the spirit in the sky, but also to repay the kindness, not only a kind of grace to Yang Shen, but also to appease the Sichuan people. Really. The Sichuan people praised this very much, facing the Dragon Shadow General who had heard of it, and the new emperor Lu Bing, who they were not familiar with today. began to scramble to recite. And the movement of the artists also brought the story after the retreat to Bashu, and since then the story of Lu Bing has spread in Bashu again.

Sichuan people are happy and cheerful, and they like the joyful life of hanging children on weekdays, but they are also affectionate and righteous. Once the country needs it, it will be desperate to see death as if it were home. Although the physique is not as strong as the northerners. But they dared to fight for their lives, so Qi Jingtong and Yu Dayou were able to train such a strong army, and it was precisely because of this that the remnant Ming regime of Bashu did not collapse at the touch of a button, but sighed that the difference in science and technology was too great, so it had to be defeated.

And the Sichuan people don't know if it's because it was the land of Shu Han. Therefore, he also believes in the word loyalty, which coincides with Lu Bing's policy of governing the country. On the question of Chen Hong. Ren Tianxiang and Master Wuzen both said that they had let go and no longer cared about listening to Lu Bing's arrangement, so Lu Bing also buried Chen Hong and set up a monument for him, telling Chen Hong's life fairly. The people of Bashu hated the eunuchs, but they didn't hate Chen Hong, because Chen Hong was indeed a good eunuch.

If there is no Chen Hong, I am afraid that the remnants will be destroyed early tomorrow, and the policies that Chen Hong has taken to benefit the country and the anti-corruption actions that have never stopped have also made Lu Bing and the Sichuan people remember in their eyes. It's just that the national policy and the bureaucratic system have accumulated disadvantages over the years, which is not as powerful as the policy of the new country. And Lu Bing erected a monument for Chen Hong, which made the people of Bashu even more admired, a king who can even treat his opponent fairly and can accommodate his opponent, how can he not accommodate his own people? In this regard, Yu Dayou specially wrote a letter to express the emperor's grace and gratitude, claiming that he would enter Beijing to apologize to the saint after resigning.

Lu Bing won the reputation of the Sichuan people in just half a year, the people believed in the rule of the Lu family, the Ming Dynasty was left behind, and everyone was relieved and happy that they were from the new country. In fact, who is the emperor and what does the people have to do, only the ruler who makes the country rich and the people strong, and allows the people to live a good life is supported by the people. Only when the people are rich, loyal, filial piety, honesty, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and faith can truly be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Qi Jingtong is really powerful, he escaped the search and pursuit of Jinyiwei, but he was not willing to fail like this. So he raised the banner to recruit the villagers and prepare to start an uprising, even if he could not overthrow the new country, he could disturb them. At this time, Qi Jingtong was no longer the loyal and patriotic, but an avenger filled with family hatred and paranoid patriotism, and his heart was already distorted.

Such a large-scale recruitment of village warriors has indeed deceived the support of some young people who are boiling with blood and have nowhere to vent, and they claim to be loyal to the monarch and patriotic to seek thieves to restore their sight, but in fact they are just to vent their restlessness and attempt to be able to be a great minister and prosperous minister. Qi Jingtong had no money or food, but he began to form this team with his personal charm, but before he recruited a hundred people, such a big move was discovered by Jinyiwei. Then the army came to beg for it, and within a single cup of tea, everyone who had just been formed was captured. And Duan Qingfeng rushed to hear the news and effortlessly cured Qi Jingtong, who was about to flee again.

Duan Qingfeng did not escort Qi Jingtong back to Beijing, and Lu Bing's holy decree did not let him do so, in the face of Qi Jingtong who scolded him, Duan Qingfeng chose to remain silent, but the former old friend finally parted ways and became a mortal enemy who was a stranger and then an endless mortal enemy, and now he has become a prisoner of the order. The reason why Duan Qingfeng endured it was not because of the deep relationship between the two, but because of a kind of providence that made people changeable. In the end, Duan Qingfeng ordered Qi Jingtong to sacrifice the flag in front of the three armies.

On that day, Qi Jingtong was pressed under the military flag, and the soldiers held wine bowls one after another, drank the wine in the bowls, paid tribute to the 100,000 soldiers who died in the Battle of Changling, and avenged the general Xu Yang. Under the ghost head knife, Qi Jingtong's blood was splashed three feet, and Jin Ge Tiema's life came to an end.

Everyone knows that Qi Jingtong and Lu Bing are old friends, and Qi Jingtong's family is still supported by the Lu family, but the law is not forgiving, but Lu Bing is ruthless and kills, letting everyone know that Lu Bing is not only benevolent, but also ruthless.

Besides. After the reform of the Bashu bureaucratic system, the things done by the previous officials were written off and not pursued. Officials rejoiced. But in the next few months, he violated the laws and discipline of the new country one after another and challenged the authority of the new country. The new country was strict in its hair, and punished more than 30 officials who embezzled and took bribes during this period, or recklessly disregarded people's lives, all of which were unforgiving. When the officials heard the order of Jinyiwei, they were terrified. Each of them will not dare to do anything illegal anymore. And many squires and tyrants were also dealt with by the local yamen for violating laws and disciplines, and the atmosphere of both the people and the officialdom was boosted. Except for a few unvirtuous and powerful people who secretly jumped to scold the streets, the people were all jubilant. I call my lord Lu Bingzhi wise.

The power of heaven cannot be violated, the law of the country cannot be lenient, everyone is frightened, and there are no rats in the world.

—————————————————————————————————————

In the middle of Beijing. Zhu Houxi, whose face was pale, was carried into the Forbidden City. Zhu Houxi was suddenly full of emotion. Less than two years ago, he was sitting on the Golden Luan Palace, giving orders, and ruling a country. Today, he was still carried into this magnificent palace, but it was no longer driven by a golden chariot, but a very thin stretcher, and the golden body of the king of the world was reduced to a prisoner under the rank of the king of the dead country.

The two strong men carried one end and went up and down the ladder, which was inevitably a little bumpy, and Zhu Houxi's body recovered a lot along the way. But it was also uncomfortable. This day was the first time that Lu Bing announced that he would not go to the early dynasty since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and even the time when Lu Bing vomited blood a few days ago did not delay the early dynasty. They all went to the early dynasty with their sick bodies. And yesterday, when he learned that Zhu Houxi was coming, Lu Bing decided not to go to court early, and he was anxious to meet this old man.

Zhu Houxi was carried into the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, the palace he built after he ascended the throne. At this time, the temple of nourishing the heart was empty. The strong man put down the stretcher, and then left here with the other four guards, the saint did not need to be guarded, when he attacked the capital, they had seen Lu Bing's ability, if it were not for hundreds of people to fight to the death, it would be difficult to defeat the might of the saint.

In an instant, Zhu Houxi was left alone in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and he stood up from the stretcher, and couldn't help but pull the wound and cough again and again. When the palace maid stabbed indiscriminately, a palace maid and a hairpin pierced Zhu Houxi's lungs, and the lungs were damaged.

Zhu Houxi looked at the Palace of Nourishing Heart that had been separated for more than a year, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, how could the magnificent Beijing Palace be compared to the palace in Bashu, in comparison, he spent more than a year in the countryside. Such a palace is the royal prestige and the place where the emperor should be. The orders issued by such a palace are justified and can be powerful all over the world.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houxi suddenly laughed, especially the Heart Cultivation Hall he had cultivated, and now it has changed hands to Lu Bing, when Lu Bing knelt below, but now the position is reversed, it is really feng shui in turn. Now that Lu Bing has invited himself to meet in the Heart Cultivation Palace, it seems to be full of ridicule.

Zhu Houxi smiled and laughed, but coughed violently again, so that he didn't even hear the door behind him open and close again. A person patted him on the back and brought in a warm current, which immediately made Zhu Houxi feel a lot more comfortable. Zhu Houxi doesn't need to look back to know who this person is, he is too familiar with him, since he was born, he has known him for nearly 40 years. The two laughed and scolded together to gallop on horseback, faced the ministers together to maintain orthodoxy, and finally parted ways and turned against each other, but Zhu Houxi didn't want to kill him all the time, but every time he saw him, he couldn't do anything. He is Lu Bing, a man who is still envious and jealous even though Zhu Houxi was once the Son of Heaven, a legendary man.

Zhu Houxi waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay." ”

"Now that you're well, don't pretend to be sick, sit up and talk." Lu Bing's voice did not have the joy and arrogance of the powerful, nor did he deliberately pretend to be modest and restrained, as if it was many years ago, and it was still the same tone as the same big brother as always.

Zhu Houxi didn't know why, his nose was a little sour, and he raised his smile to suppress the dew in his eyes, he didn't want to cry or show weakness in front of Lu Bing. Zhu Houxi tried to stand up, but he still touched the wounds on his body, and he was about to sit down, Lu Bing supported Zhu Houxi with a heavy hand and helped him up.

Zhu Houxi's injuries are not serious, but they are not light, although the wounds are not as important as the vital ones, but there are too many wounds, and excessive blood loss has also caused damage to his body. Zhu Houxi was born weak, and his health has not been very good since he was a child, but he got better but was hollowed out by wine after ascending the throne. If it weren't for the miraculous effect of the elixir that Lu Bing had made, and the fact that he had been exercising for more than a year, he was afraid that even if he had the Immortal Golden Pill, he would not be able to save it.

Zhu Houxi turned his head and looked at Lu Bing behind him, and Lu Bing also looked at Zhu Houxi. The two looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "You are old." (To be continued......)
