634 Checks and balances of power
In the face of Lu Zhi's shirking of responsibility and nonsense, the courtiers were very helpless, and the key black armor guards acted rigorously, and they had no evidence in their hands.
Blaming the black armor guard, it is impossible without evidence, so the courtiers have another plan, they want Lu Zhi to send someone to investigate.
Hey, no matter how you say it, you are also the protector of the country, no matter how much you protect the black armor guard, then you have to push out a few scapegoats.
Lu Zhi also thinks the same way, there must be a scapegoat, but it can't come out of the black armor guard, the southern cities are ruffians, and there are countless scoundrels, so they are the best candidates.
They all say that they are ruffians and scoundrels, so it is normal for them to disturb people's houses, kill people and set fires.
Of course, some of these scum are not worthy of death, but Lu Zhi can judge his life and death with one word, which is where the power lies.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Lawlessness, disregard for law and discipline, is really lawless."
"My lord said cautiously, now that our protector of the country is in power, we can't afford to provoke it."
"Yes, it's the county master again, the Marquis of Zhenbei, and now it's the protector of the country, we really can't afford to provoke it." There are officials who are yin and yang, and at first glance they are old yin and yang people.
"Hmph, what if you can't mess with it? Can he still gag us and stop us from talking? β
"That's it, that's it." "I see that if he acts like this, this protector of the country will not last long." "It makes sense."
After the next dynasty, a group of officials were in the palace, and they talked about it on the way back, and they were full of resentment towards Lu Zhi.
These are either discussions, or complaints, or provocations by people with ulterior motives, Lu Zhi knew it on the way home, and even he knew exactly what an adult said.
Not to mention that the black armor guards are everywhere, let's just say that the little eunuchs in the palace are all Wei Zhong's filial sons and grandsons.
In the face of such "public anger", of course Lu Zhi couldn't kill the matter, he just let people let the wind out, saying that he was preparing to investigate in detail the collusion between the officials of the DPRK and China and the rebellion in the south.
Then this unhealthy trend completely disappeared.
What does this mean? It shows that after several rounds of fighting, Lu Zhi gradually comprehended some rules of officialdom.
Uh, well, this kind of clever plan was naturally not thought up by Lu Zhi, it was all taught to him by Xie Yanxie.
As a staunch main battle faction, Xie Yan agrees with Lu Zhi's hot hand behavior, and rebellion really deserves to be killed.
However, he sneered at Lu Zhi's crude political methods and resolutely criticized them.
Child, if you want to fight with these ministers in the court, you are still too young, and there are still many things to learn.
Lu Zhi naturally humbly asked for advice, and even wanted to leave these things to Xie Yan to deal with.
To be reasonable, it has always been Lu Zhi's best job to shake off the shopkeeper.
Well, although there is some suspicion of laziness, shouldn't professional things be left to professional people? No problem!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Don't talk about these guys who have no military power in the DPRK and China and can only talk every day.
As soon as the Black Armor Guards were killed, the southern clans quickly disappeared, and at the same time, the economy of many cities began to have problems.
No matter how hateful these big clans are, they really hold the lifeblood of the local economy in their hands, and once these people die, the impact on the local economy will still be great.
However, everything was expected by Lu Zhi, and the coping methods were already ready.
First, the market cannot be restored for the time being, and can only try to ensure the needs of the people's lives, and the construction of the granary is for this.
Hey, these granaries are not beautiful to build, and the relief grain of the imperial court will arrive later.
These grains come from the west and the north, which have bumper harvests year after year, and at the same time contribute a large amount of tax grain.
Second, the Golden Scaled Iron Cavalry did not evacuate the south, and they gathered the defeated Southern Coalition forces on the spot, and these people were about to come in handy.
As long as the Black Armor Guard sends back the news, these incorporated coalition forces will take charge of the cities with greater chaos.
As for the smaller mess, let him mess up first, no way, manpower is sometimes exhausted, and Lu Zhi is not a fairy.
As for the loopholes after the demise of the big clan, these have to rely on the big families who have defected, among which Liang Chong's Liang family, Cao Da's Cao family, Wei Xun's Wei family, and Tao Hua's Tao family are the mainstay.
These families are not small, especially the Liang family and the Cao family are both old families, their families are full of talents, and the shopkeeper talents are even richer, I believe they can solve big problems.
Moreover, Lu Zhi can suppress them, and he is not afraid of what great harm will be caused by the expansion of their power.
In the end, LΓΌ Zhi went to the prince of Shuzheng and asked him to speed up the dispatch of officials to the south to preside over the overall situation.
In this way, the military, political, and economic problems will all be settled, and I don't think there will be much of a problem.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Palace.
The king of Yue, the prince of Zheng, and the shadow gathered together, and of course, the great eunuch Wei Zhong was waiting by his side.
The affairs of the south do not need to be done by the shadow himself, he has already returned to Beijing.
At this time, Shadow handed over all the information he had collected to King Yue, and Prince Zheng also presented the excerpts of the officials dispatched by Lu Zhi.
King Yue took a quick look and couldn't help but nod again and again, "Lu family Xiaozhi, you are really a masterpiece!" β
"The king has a discerning eye, and he will not look at the wrong person." Wei Zhong hurriedly offered his fart, and King Yue couldn't help but laugh twice, and then fell into a long thought.
Seeing that King Yue was thinking, the rest of the people didn't dare to make a sound, and they looked at their noses and noses one by one, and even the sound of breathing was lowered a lot.
"Because of the war, the people in the south will inevitably be in hardship at this time, and the relief food must be in place as soon as possible." After a long time, King Yue finally opened his mouth, and Wei Zhong hurriedly recorded it.
"The reorganized Southern Coalition Army lacks leading talents, so let General Zhu of the Acropolis work hard and let him bring some capable generals to manage it."
"Understood." Wei Zhong replied and quickly recorded.
"The four families of Liang, Cao, Wei, and Tao can go to the south to develop, but they alone are not enough, at least one Jiang family must be added."
The Jiang family is the Jiang family of Jiang Guo's uncle.
Wei Zhong thought thoughtfully, and listed several big families behind the Jiang family, and King Yue also said "at least", then there can't be only one Jiang family, but also other families close to the royal family.
Wei Zhong, the great eunuch, is really not covered, these families he added are not only close to the royal family, but also especially to the prince.
"As for the deployment of officials." Yue Wang thought for a while, "This normal deployment is fine, well, don't forget to bring Zhou Runtu and Zhou Tian, they are all from the Champion Building, and they still have the ability." β
"Hey, I made a note of it." Where can Wei Zhong not understand that King Yue is carrying out power checks and balances.
"Father~~~" Prince Zheng hesitated, but still asked in a low voice, "Father doesn't believe in brother-in-law?" β
"No, no, no." King Yue hurriedly shook his head, "For so many years, Lone has never seen someone as loyal as the Lu family." β
"Then this ......" The children of the royal family are very precocious, and Prince Zheng can naturally see something from a series of operations of King Yue.
"Lone trusts Ash, but the courtiers may not be able to trust it." King Yue patted Prince Zheng's shoulder, "Zheng'er, the emperor is not so easy to be, you still have a lot to learn." β
"Hmm." Prince Zheng nodded as if he didn't understand.
