Chapter 114: Special Methods in Special Times
Zhu Houxi's case file is full of accusations against Lu Bing by officials from all over the country, and the accusations are nothing more than accusations against Lu Bing for not abiding by the laws of the Ming Dynasty and for his barbaric and tyrannical behavior. Zhu Houxi sent all these twists and turns back, and only replied with one sentence, that is, I am the world, and Lu Bing is the general of the Dragon Shadow, that is, I am the one who does what I do, and what I do should be the Son of Heaven, and there must be no difference.
Zhu Houyu still supports Lu Bing unconditionally, although his suspicion is committed again, but Zhu Houyu is a smart person, he knows that Lu Dao can only trust Lu Bing unconditionally at this time, whether it is removal or checks and balances, it is inappropriate, how many faint monarchs have died here.
Zhu Houxi put down the case file and walked out of the main hall, and there was an internal supervisor who ordered Xia Yan to see him. People say that Xia Yan's rise is a joint product of inadvertent promotion, and Lu Bing's deliberate Xian makes Xia Yan stand out, but the more Zhu Houxi finds that Xia Yan is a talented person, so he begins to deliberately cultivate Xia Yan. Sure enough, no matter where he is, Xia Yan's political achievements are remarkable.
The most important thing is that Xia Yan can write green words, although it seems that Xia Yan is not very willing to write, and his writing is slightly sharp, but the literary talent for writing green words is unparalleled in the world. Zhu Houyu couldn't help but think about the imperial examination system when he chatted with Lu Bing once, Lu Bing said that the imperial examination was too rigid and imprisoned people's talents, Zhu Houxi only thought it was true at this time, indeed, a last jinshi can write green words that others can't write, doesn't this just explain the problem.
Zhu Houyu believes in Taoism, whether it is his own son-seeking event, or Duan Qingfeng saved his life, or Wudang has always been the spokesperson of the Zhu family's monarchy, no matter what, Zhu Houyu is inseparably related to Taoism.
Xia Yan, who can write green words as a beneficiary, has been promoted recently, and the speed of sesame blossoming can be said to be increasing. A few days ago, he was promoted to Shao Zhanshi, and was crowned as a bachelor and academician of the Hanlin Academy, leading the Hanlin Academy. It's only been a month. Just because he can write green words, he was promoted to the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and at the same time he is still in charge of the Hanlin Academy, this promotion speed can make many people in the court envious. But the problem also slowly arose in Xia Yan's heart, the green words written became more and more ugly rather than used to sacrifice to the sky, Xia Yan expressed his anger with a pen, but fortunately, the green words were difficult for ordinary people to understand, so the literary style was generally unknown to the emperor and the eunuchs. It can be regarded as Xia Yan who escaped.
Since Lu Bing left, Xia Yan has entered the palace significantly more often, and has become the number one celebrity in the court. Comparatively. The veteran celebrity Zhang Xuan is becoming more and more lonely, fighting with Xia Yan and losing more and winning less, he can't help but lie dormant secretly, saying that he will wait for Lu Bing to come back and make Xia Yan look good.
Zhu Houxi let Xia Yan enter the palace. Zhu Houxi walked ahead. Xia Yan followed, Zhu Houxi walked to the imperial garden, stretched out his hand to fold a flower and said: "The flower can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches." ”
"There are flowers that can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches." Xia Yan said from behind, these are the two versions of this poem, Zhu Houxi turned his head and looked at Xia Yan, quite a sense of being a hero and cherishing a hero.
"Xia Yan." Zhu Houxi said.
"The minister is here."
Zhu Houxi groaned slightly, fiddling with the flowers in his hand and said, "Xia Yan." What do you think of Lu Bing? ”
"Your Majesty, have you heard someone slander?" Xia Yan said, Zhu Houxi smiled and said, "Into the slander? Just listen to your word and know the way. You still support Lu Bing. ”
"Forgive the minister bluntly, although the minister has inherited Lu Bing's favor, but the minister has a lot of complaints about Lu Bing, and there have been some contradictions, which is not a grudge but also a close friend. This man is too domineering, a little rough and not a man of great talent. But this person can be called a generation of ghosts, he can always come up with something unexpected, not to mention how much business he has done in Shandong to make him rich and rival the country can be called an all-rounder, that is, just talking about recruiting staff, since ancient times, most of the generals and high-ranking officials have staff, but they are not as powerful as Lu Bing, and they dare to learn from the various princes and princes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and recruit disciples on a large scale. Although most of these people are soldiers on paper, and it is useless to lead troops to fight, the policy of governing the country, especially the rule of culture, is indeed good, and the technique of attacking the heart is even more powerful, which is a pioneering act. Xia Yan said.
Zhu Houyu nodded, but he was anxious in his heart, this is exactly the problem that Zhu Houxi was worried about, Lu Bing wants soldiers and soldiers, money and money, and now he is gathering a group of civil officials and strategists, isn't it the rhythm of forming a small court?
However, Zhu Houxi remained silent, his face could not tell whether he was happy or sad, and motioned for Xia Yan to continue, Xia Yan hugged his fists and continued: "Of course, this is very different from the saint's favor for Lu Bing, just imagine, if someone else does this, he will be said by others to be disobedient, but Lu Bing is fine." To tell the truth, Lu Bingzheng is successful because of his character, but he is also destined to be less perfect because of his personality. In the future, with the continuation of the war, Lu Bing will become stronger and stronger, and the political and military power in his hands will continue to accumulate, so that he may be crowned with great achievements! ”
Zhu Houxi's face turned cold, his body was shocked, and he twisted the flowers in his hand into a ball. Xia Yan continued: "But! But the minister is willing to use a head to guarantee that Lu Bing will never betray the Ming Dynasty, let alone betray the saint. Even if he sets himself up as a king in other places, he will definitely be outside the Ming Dynasty, and he will not have any impact on the Ming Dynasty. ”
"Why did Xia Aiqing say this?" Zhu Houxi's face softened.
Xia Yan said: "Because Lu Bing is the Great General of the Dragon Shadow, and the Holy Lord treats him like a brother, Lu Bing will also swear loyalty to the death." This is also his character, human nature is immortal, his righteousness is difficult to change, even in the face of the position of the king of a country, Lu Bing will be like a child's play, just a righteous word. ”
Zhu Houxi nodded and said, "I understand what to do." ”
"Long live the Holy Wisdom."
—————————————————————————————————————
Lu Bing sneezed and said to Gosu, who was sitting next to him with one arm hanging from him: "Who said bad things about me, causing me to sneeze all the time." ”
"Lord Lu Shi forcibly gathered 20,000 regiments of major villagers in the south to train the army, how many people do you say scolding you." Gosu laughed.
Lu Bing read a military report without looking up and said: "It should be like this, what soldiers do the people want, isn't this a rebellion." Hiding soldiers in the people is for use, hiding them is not using them, and if you don't use them, you think these people are honest, they are all ruffians and hooligans in the township, so let them bully their neighbors It is better to let them fight and kill the enemy. The barracks may be the best way for them to vent their youth that they have nowhere to release, haluha, special means in special times, if it is not wartime, I may also give some subsidies to those rich people, forget it now, especially when I hear about their evil deeds, it is light not to behead them. Let's put it this way, it is not easy for one of the ten rich men who raise soldiers to be good, and if it were not for the war, I would not have done anything to them. ”
"With all due respect, Lu Shizhu is so jealous and hateful, it is really not suitable to be an official, it is impossible for an official to have a clean breeze on his sleeves, let alone be righteous and benevolent, and political art is nothing more than a compromise." Gosu said.
Lu Bing read the Chinese book in his hand, called the herald to send him away, and then said with a smile: "Political art is not applicable to me, because I didn't want to be an official in the first place." I wanted to retire several times, but the grudge continued, and now it seems that revenge is no longer so important, and there are too many lives owed to each other between me and Mi 13, and we are not only revenge nor old enemies, in short, we will never die. In addition, it's not that I'm benevolent, it's just that I can't see others suffering, these enemy countries and thieves provoked by Mi 13 have committed crimes against me, and I must beat them out, the land is a big deal, and the people are innocent How can they be slaughtered. ”
"Amitabha, Lord Lu seems to be tyrannical, but he is actually compassionate, and he really has a heart to save people and help the world, and the old man admires it." Gosu said.
Lu Bing walked over, pinched the arm that Wu Su was hanging and said: "It takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, but the master can get better in less than a month by applying this ointment on time, and now it has naturally recovered for more than ten days, well, after applying the ointment, your arm will be improved in more than ten days." ”
"Lu Shi's main medical skills are passed down from the divine doctor Wan'er Wan, and the medical skills are brilliant and skillful to rejuvenate, which is natural." Wu Su said, Lu Bing sat back, poured two cups of tea, one drank by himself, and then waved the other cup with his sleeve and flew straight to Wu Su, Wu Su turned his sleeve with one hand, and the teacup fell into Wu Su's hand steadily, and the water in the cup was not spilled.
Wusu took a sip and said: "The white feathers of this secret thirteen are really powerful, my Shaolin eighteen monks besieged him, but he still ran away, no, I also broke an arm." ”
"That's natural, not to mention the eighteen of you, I didn't kill him at that time with many musketeers in the Lu Mansion. Ji Lianhong and I fought against Bai Yu with manpower, but in the end it was still empty. Although Bai Yu played a treacherous trick, in all fairness, even if he didn't play tricks, Ji Lianhong and I couldn't keep him. This person is so hateful, but his skills are so great, hey, God really can't open his eyes. Lu Bing said.
Wusu nodded, and Lu Bing continued: "I think I and Qingfeng, you and Ji Lianhong, the ability of the four of us can already be said to be against the sky, compared to the five grandmasters back then, it may be insufficient, but it is not too bad." But after looking at Bai Yu, I realized that Lu Dao is a small thing, this guy is not a human at all. ”
"Of course the secret art that is not passed on is powerful." Wu Su said: "However, the open gun is easy to block and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, can Lord Lu think of using another method to make an appointment with Bai Yu in the name of peace talks, and then the four of us will work together to ambush other masters to make up for the sword." During the bad period, we will poison or something, so that we can prevent future troubles. ”
Lu Bing sighed and said, "Master, you are becoming more and more like a monk. ”
Wusu laughed awkwardly twice and said, "I'll give you back what you just said, special means in special times." (To be continued......)
