Yuejing, the royal palace.

King Yue is holding a secret report in his hand, which is not a sentence in many places, it should be a shorthand recording method, which has the feeling of live broadcast.

There are 20,000 troops in Golden Scale City, with neat appearance, consistent pace, and bright armor...... The strong bow and crossbow were in the air, and the four cities were shocked.

After the end of the order, the county horse master met with the representatives of the Sicheng family in the military camp, and the representatives of the Sicheng family took the lead in kneeling and kowtowing, "kowtowing and touching the ground", completely ignoring "I have no such custom".

The representatives of the family even presented a group of good horses, saying that the cavalry of Golden Scale City were brave, but there were not many of them, and they wanted to contribute to the development of the cavalry battalion.

Moreover, these good horses were carefully cultivated and presented to Lu Zhi precisely to express their highest respect.

Jun Ma Ye wrote the documents on the spot, and he said that he wished the five cities to enjoy the blessings of peace and happiness forever.

"In this way, in another year and a half, the five cities will be completely pacified." King Yue muttered to himself while pondering Han Zhibing's strategy, slow is a little slow, but he finally got off to a good start.

"Old dog, pass on Han Shangshu." Surrendering soldiers without a fight, such good news, King Yue naturally wanted to find someone who could speak.

The king was happy, Wei Zhong was happy, and his tone was a lot more lively, "Yes, the old dog will do it." ”

…………

said that on the side of Golden Scale City, Lu Zhi, Lu Ren and Lu Li held a farewell banquet, and then Tang Hu Zhushan went to take up a group of officials from the City Lord's Mansion.

"Hey, fourth, I really can't understand your arrangement for my brother."

It is said that there are four cities over there, so there should be four city lords, but Lu Zhi only sent Tang Hu as a chief official, no matter how you look at it, it is a little mismatched.

Lu Zhi smiled, not only did not explain, but asked rhetorically, "What?" Does the eldest brother think that Tang Hu's ability is insufficient? ”

"Not really." Lu Ren thought that his ability was mediocre, how could he look down on others, "I just think this arrangement is a bit inappropriate, after all, it is four cities." ”

Lu Zhi waved his hand, "Big brother, you don't understand, only if I arrange it like this, it can be called safe." ”

Lu Ren: "??? ”

"But why?" Lu Li on the side also had doubts, it was obviously unreasonable for one person to do four jobs.

"Come, let's sit down and talk." Lu Zhi was about to talk in detail, "That's the case, I'm going to go to the king and ask the king to send three more city lords over." ”

"Oh, that's what the fourth child meant." Lu Ren understood, this was to let Tang Hu take charge of the four cities first, and then let the place go when the court officials arrived.

Thinking about it this way, things are very reasonable, after all, there are not many people available on the side of Golden Scale City, and it is difficult to find four talents who can take on the role of city lord.

Lu Li thought for a moment, "I'm afraid it's more than that." ”

"Indeed." Lu Zhi pondered for a moment, "The king allowed me to be the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, this has already caused a court criticism, if the five city lords are our people, it will inevitably cause a bigger turmoil." ”

The last criticism, Lu Zhi settled it with money, didn't he fund the construction of the Jinjing Grand Canal, but if the criticism resumes, it will be difficult to do.

"So you mean to give up the positions of the three city lords to appease the discontent of the officials in the court?" Lu Li whispered in his mouth, obviously thinking about the problem.

Lu Ren also pondered it carefully, and couldn't help but nodded, he felt that it was feasible.

To be reasonable, the families that participated in the rebellion in the five cities were all wiped out by Lu Zhi's family, and their savings for so many years also fell into the pockets of the Lu family.

The accumulation of several generations is really a lot, and if the Lu family continues to control all the five cities at this time, it is really a little unreasonable, it is inevitable that they are too greedy.

In officialdom, it is most taboo to eat alone, and greedy people will not live long.

After some discussion, the three brothers finally agreed that √ should follow the path of the fourth.

Yes, the three parts of the fold will soon be on the road.

One was written by Lu Ren, in the name of the Lord of Golden Scale City; One was written by Lu Li, in order to supervise the identity of the imperial history; And then it was written by Lu Zhi.

Lu Ren and Lu Li's recitals followed the normal path, and the speed was not fast, but Lu Zhi's part was still passed through the black armor guard, so that King Yue soon understood his intentions.

…………

On the palace side, King Yue summoned Han Zhibing again.

In fact, whenever it comes to changing the law, King Yue must ask Han Zhibing for advice.

King Yue showed Lu Zhi's recital to Han Zhibing, "Han Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

"Well." Han Zhibing touched his double chin, "The old minister doesn't think it's feasible. ”

"Huh? But why? "King Yue also considered," Xiao Zhi gave up the position of the lord of the three cities, one can be exempted from criticism from the court and the central government, and the other can be discussed, and Gu feels that there is nothing wrong with it. ”

What King Yue means is that this is a good opportunity, and we can also take the opportunity to install people and send some capable people to the Golden Scale Five Cities to help.

There is power in numbers, and this is an unbreakable truth no matter what the circumstances.

"Your Majesty, it's not enough to have a lot of people, but you can also win the hearts of the people." Han Zhibing arched his hand, "The old minister thinks that it is better that the Five Cities of Golden Scales are completely in the hands of the county master, so that they can work together." ”

A pun on the words of the top and bottom is not only about the officials of the five cities of Golden Scales, but also about the matter of changing the law.

King Yue pondered along Han Zhibing's train of thought, and felt more and more that his thoughts were a little inconsiderate, and he didn't say whether the people sent there would change the law.

Even if he is bent on changing the law, the local forces in Golden Scale City and this force may not be twisted into a rope, and internal friction will inevitably occur.

Hey, after being the king for so many years, King Yue knows best that these officials under him are the easiest to fight.

Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that the mess in the inner library has been fighting so hard recently that it is about to explode with "internal combustion".

Just like Lu Zhi analyzed at the time, the second prince and the third prince really caught a little mistake of Uncle Jiang Guo and went to death, if it weren't for King Yue's help, it is estimated that Uncle Jiang Guo would be enough to be on death row.

…………

"Hey, it's all in one!" King Yue sighed, these four words are not easy to say.

Han Zhibing lowered his head, and he also noticed this trace of desolation and helplessness, and his heart was also full of bitterness.

The various ministries of the imperial court are fighting, the ministries are also fighting, the court and the local government are fighting, local officials at all levels are also fighting, the court and the family are fighting, and the family is also fighting......

This is not the end, from time to time the fighting forces will join forces, because of the collusion of various interests for a while, sometimes fighting, you don't know which gang you are.

Even if you don't want to fight, you always have relatives and friends around you, and if you don't fight, they will pull you to fight.

Fighting, the history of the entire continent is a history of internal fighting, even if some people see it through, they still can't escape this cage.
