Volume 2 Chapter 54 Crossing I Am the Great Villain
When he went to the court again, Lin Ran found that there were a lot fewer civil and military officials before, at least a dozen, and General Sun, who had scolded him yesterday, was gone.
Looking at the fifth general who had already come to his side, he asked.
"What about them?"
The fifth general bowed to Lin Ran and replied respectfully.
"Returning to the general, we suspect that those people are colluding with the people who assassinated the emperor, so we are imprisoned and waiting for your whereabouts, general."
Lin Ran nodded.
"Do you suspect that they colluded with the assassins to assassinate the emperor?"
"Haven't found it yet."
Lin Ran frowned, this fifth general is very easy to use, but sometimes he doesn't have a brain.
"Since I haven't found it, then I won't look for it, and I'll find the other party's mansion if I turn it over, you know?"
The mansion is turned over and has to be found, and the remaining officials are trembling in their hearts, Lin Ran is completely shameless, and what scolds him is to plot rebellion and rebellion.
It doesn't matter what evidence is not evidence, as long as Lin Ran says that you are rebelling and you collude with assassins to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor, then you will assassinate His Majesty the Emperor.
This group of officials couldn't help but feel sad, and they also felt unwilling.
No one would want to die, not to mention that people like them in high positions had already expressed their support for Lin Ran, so why didn't Lin Ran let them go.
Didn't Lin Ran know that this was likely to cause their anger? When the time comes, Lin Ran will attack Lin Ran in a group, even if Lin Ran has the power of the army in his hands, but when the time comes, their group of officials will attack collectively, even if they have the army in hand, it may not be effective.
Lin Ran also knew this, so why did he do this?
The reason is very simple, killing chickens and making an example of monkeys!
Since you have decided to clean the court, should you start cleaning up with the small shrimp or start cleaning up with the big boss first?
He cleans up very regularly, first of all, he has scolded his own people, people who disobey him, and people who have different intentions, these are the objects of his cleanup.
Of course, if all the people who have dissenting intentions towards him are cleared out, then it is estimated that there will be no more than two or three left in the entire court.
He just wants to catch a typical example, and that General Zhao is very good.
I scolded myself head-on last night, and in front of many officials, I cleaned up the other party by myself, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Moreover, the other party held hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and Lin Ran coveted the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.
If he can get it, then the army he holds in his hands will exceed 500,000, and once he gets the army of Western Xia again, he can call himself a million heroes at that time.
Millions of heroes, the Song Dynasty, the Western Xia, Dali, the Liao State, and even the Jin State, which began to become stronger... Mongolian steppes, he was confident to conquer.
What happened to General Sun? Was he really caught in jail? Not at all.
After General Sun left the palace last night, he mysteriously disappeared and never appeared in this world again.
As for the soldiers and horses under General Sun's hands? Will you do something impulsive? Lin Ran had already sent one of his absolute henchmen to take over General Sun's soldiers and horses.
If there were no accidents, Lin Ran would now have controlled General Sun's more than 100,000 horses.
I would like to thank Mr. Confucius for brainwashing the land of China for so many years, and now, what this group of ordinary people believe in is still loyalty and patriotism.
In addition to General Sun, there are some other generals, all of whom are not in Lin Ran's faction, and they all hold military power to some extent.
Thousands, tens of thousands, and even a soldier like General Sun, with nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.
However, that guy was smarter, and when the shadow guard did something to him, he directly handed over the military power, and swore allegiance to Lin Ran, so he escaped the catastrophe.
Speaking of which, the purge of military attachés is still relatively small, and the largest is the civilian clique.
The prime minister of the first command died yesterday, the guy in command also died, and the third in command also disappeared mysteriously when he went back, and now the cultural group has no leader, and no one dares to be the leader, whoever does it dies is not a fool.
The neutral faction that believes in the golden mean has also mysteriously disappeared a few people, but the leader Wang Shangshu is really fine.
Lin Ran didn't talk about those people's problems anymore, and the civil and military officials didn't dare to scold Lin Ran anymore.
Now the entire Imperial Palace, the entire Tokyo City is Lin Ran's world, it is Lin Ran's Yiyantang, what Lin Ran says is what he says, they will do whatever they want, as long as they don't love it.
Anyway, Lin Ran wouldn't let them leave Tokyo City, the news couldn't be passed on, and the group of officials and generals outside didn't know what was going on in Tokyo?
Maybe it won't take long to become clear, but at least not now, their lives are still in Lin Ran's hands.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the main purpose of convening everyone to hold this great court meeting today is to avenge His Majesty the Emperor, last night I got secret news that the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor was not only the people of Shaolin Temple, but also the people of the beggar gang, as well as the people of the former super power Xiaoyao faction, this assassination of His Majesty the Emperor can be said to involve the entire rivers and lakes, and the entire rivers and lakes have participated in the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor."
"As the saying goes, chivalry is forbidden with martial arts! Those people in the rivers and lakes relied on their martial arts and strength, and they created a sect that did not take us seriously, and killed people and robbed the rich to help the poor at will. ”
"Especially Buddhism, which has built so many temples and enjoyed the incense offerings of ordinary people, but they don't farm, produce, or pay taxes, this is the cancer of our entire imperial court."
"His Majesty the Emperor wanted to rectify the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes before, but the result caused the dissatisfaction of the people in the rivers and lakes, and they united to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor, and now we want to avenge His Majesty the Emperor, clean up the entire rivers and lakes, and return the ordinary people of the world to a bright future."
"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, these people in the rivers and lakes must not continue to go unpunished, my purpose is very simple, that is, to mobilize our country's army and start cleaning up the rivers and lakes of the entire Central Plains, what do you think?"
The entire playground was silent, this time it was not silent, but horrified, it was hard to imagine that Lin Ran's hand was so big.
Want to clean up the whole world? It's like no one before or since.
Jianghu and Chaotang have been two factions since ancient times, and the Jianghu does not care about the affairs of the court, and the court does not care about the affairs of the Jianghu. The well water on both sides does not interfere with the river water.
Now that Lin Ran wants to break this balance, is this crazy death? Or is Lin Ran crazy.
Want to clean up the rivers and lakes completely?
How big are the rivers and lakes? No one can say clearly, and no one can say clearly how many people there are.
Those top masters can be said to be people in the rivers and lakes, and those little people who rob houses on the side of the road can also be said to be people in the rivers and lakes.
Crazy, crazy, all crazy!!
Lin Ran looked at the silent court hall and continued.
"Last month, Your Majesty secretly summoned me to discuss the matter of cleaning up the rivers and lakes, and now Your Majesty has been killed by the people of the rivers and lakes, I have the right to help Your Majesty take revenge, help Your Majesty complete your unfulfilled wishes, and clean up the rivers and lakes."
"If you have any opinions, just put them forward. Bring it up. ”
Everyone shuddered, Lin Ran was really crazy, not only was he crazy, but he was looking for death... I also want to take them crazy together and find death together.
They won't go crazy with him and do that kind of self-defeating thing.
Wait, what Lin Ran said seems to... There seems to be a trace of truth, the people of the rivers and lakes are indeed not a good thing, what kind of murder and arson... rob the rich and help the poor, kill people casually, and don't care about the pursuit of the government, it's a big deal to kill all the people in your government.
Even some of the top masters in the rivers and lakes entered the palace at will, regarded the palace as their own back garden, entered their mansions, and did something to their wives and concubines, their sons and daughters may be those people in the rivers and lakes.
Even some officials who have offended the people in the rivers and lakes are afraid that some people in the rivers and lakes will retaliate and do something terrible to them.
If it is said... If it is really possible to clean up the entire rivers and lakes, then it is a happy thing for everyone.
If there is no martial arts, there is no Jianghu people, then they can rule the entire Central Plains more perfectly, and whoever does not obey dares to resist and behead directly.
Without martial arts, without the strength to resist, when the time comes, when they overthrow the rule of His Majesty the brutal emperor, won't the whole world be theirs again?
People love fantasy, Lin Ran didn't draw a big pie for them, he just said that he would clean up the entire rivers and lakes, and as a result, they automatically made up so many benefits. Really... There is no simple person who can be above this court.
Lin Ran couldn't help nodding in his heart after seeing the performance of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, interests are always the biggest driving force.
"Colleagues, didn't you hear what I said? I want to fulfill His Majesty's wish to clean up the entire rivers and lakes for His Majesty the Emperor, and you can put forward any ideas you have. ”
This time, Lin Ran accentuated his tone and woke up all the civil and military officials who had fallen into fantasy.
Glancing at each other, they originally thought that Lin Ran was crazy and wanted to kill himself, but now they had a little bit of expectation.
If Lin Ran fails, then he will fail, anyway, you Lin Ran is a chaotic minister and thief, it's not a big deal.
If he succeeds, he succeeds... Then there will be no such thing as rivers and lakes in the world, and they can truly unify the Central Plains.
"Wechen agrees with General Zhenguo's proposal."
"Weichen also agrees with General Zhenguo's proposal."
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"Seconded!"
“……”
Sure enough, those who can mix in the court are smart people, and no fool is willing to jump out to be this bird.
They all knew what happened yesterday and what happened this morning, and if they went against Lin Ran's intentions, they would be the next ones to disappear.
Lin Ran didn't know what the civil and military officials thought, but he didn't want to know, what he wanted was for the civil and military officials to express their opinions, and then said.
"Since all of you have no objections, let's send troops."
Lin Ran said and couldn't help but look at the military attachés who held the soldiers and horses, these guys did not take refuge in Lin Ran, they had soldiers and horses, and they needed to teach them a lesson.
And after those military attachés heard Lin Ran's words, Gu's face changed, and they finally understood what Lin Ran's idea was, and they actually asked them to send troops to encircle and suppress the rivers and lakes.
Although their army is relatively elite, compared to the people in the rivers and lakes, the people in the rivers and lakes who have martial arts are still ordinary people.
If you say that you encircle and suppress a sect, a force... They may be able to do it, but if it is said that they will encircle and suppress the entire rivers and lakes, they really can't do it with their little soldiers.
"General Zhenguo, the last general has objections."
"Oh?"
Lin Ran looked at the guy who dared to give his opinion, and found that he was also an acquaintance, who could be said to be another representative of the military attache group, and he didn't have a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands, only forty or fifty thousand, but the other party's army was very disciplined, similar to Yue Fei's Yue family army, with extremely strong combat effectiveness, and it was also an ace army of the Great Song Dynasty.
He didn't have any conflicts with this general on weekdays, but now that the other party jumped out, did he want to oppose Lin Ran?
"What does General Guo think? Say it. ”
General Guo took a step forward and bowed to Lin Ran.
"The last general thinks that your idea is unrealistic, General Zhenguo."
"Impractical? How is it unrealistic? ”
Lin Ran was really interested, looked at General Guo, and was also interested in the other party.
If the other party can answer satisfactorily, then Lin Ran can spare the other party's life, and as for dissatisfaction, of course, it has disappeared mysteriously.
Although the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all bowing their heads, their eyes couldn't help but glance at this General Guo, it was really just, if you asked you to soldier, you would give it, but you had to kill yourself, did you forget the one who scolded Lin Ran yesterday? and those first-in-command and second-in-command who mysteriously disappeared at noon today......
I felt a little pity for this General Guo in my heart, especially those civilian officials.
Sure enough, none of the generals' brains are easy to use, and they will still be in the world of literati in the future.
That Guo Jiajun ignored Lin Ran's interest and the mercy of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, and still stood there respectfully, and said loudly.
"First of all, General, you don't know what the entire Jianghu represents?"
Lin Ran's interest really came up, he knew that this General Guo was an elder of the Beggar Gang before he served the country, and the Beggar Gang was the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, and his understanding of the rivers and lakes should be very clear.
It seems that General Guo did not intend to scare him.
"Then General Guo, can you talk about the rivers and lakes?"
General Guo nodded, and then without hesitation, he just said.
"Jianghu is a very general concept, it is not like our imperial court... The Song Dynasty also had a clear territorial division. Rivers and lakes! Where there are people in the rivers and lakes, it can be called rivers and lakes. The scope of the rivers and lakes is not only our Great Song Dynasty, Dali, Liao State, Western Xia... Even the countries of the Western Regions have their own rivers and lakes. There are even rivers and lakes where there are people. ”
And the people in the rivers and lakes are also a very general concept, not that those who have martial arts are people in the rivers and lakes, and those who may have martial arts are not people in the rivers and lakes, and those who do not know martial arts are not people who are unrestrained, and they may also be people in the rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes exist in everyone's heart, and everyone has their own rivers and lakes in their hearts. ”
"If you want to clean up the rivers and lakes in the Central Plains, General, we will never be able to do it with a million soldiers and horses, this is not something that can be completed overnight, and it is currently estimated that it will take at least a few decades."
Lin Ran is still an ordinary person, he can't be perfect, he is not a saint... Mistakes are also made.
The previous idea was good, but it was only his own thought, he didn't know the rivers and lakes of this Heavenly Dragon Babu World, even if he came into contact with another Lin Ran's memory.
He is a dictator and likes to make everyone do his bidding, but he is also not dictatorial to the point of being one-of-a-kind ......
Well, this is already his word, but this General Guo still listens to his words.
General Guo was an elder in the beggar gang before, and he knew much more about the affairs of the rivers and lakes than him, the general of Zhenguo, who had fought for so many years but rarely participated in the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
Lin Ran's idea may be just an idea, not suitable for the rivers and lakes, maybe this General Guo can give him a better plan.
I couldn't help but smile on my face, this General Guo is also a smart person.
"Then I don't know what advice you have General Guo?"
General Guo looked up at Lin Ran, was silent for a moment, and then asked Lin Ran.
"General Zhenguo, you are sure that you really want to clean up the entire rivers and lakes, you must know that once you make a decision, it will cause great changes, and it may cause a civil war in our Great Song Dynasty, the people will be displaced, and the people will not be able to make a living."
"At that time, even if you clean up the entire rivers and lakes, the general, you will not leave a good image in the eyes of the people, and in their eyes, you are a faint king."
Calling Lin Ran such a clear as the faint monarch, it seems that this General Guo has no meaning for Lin Ran to sit in that supreme position.
Lin Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
Now that this General Guo has already said it thoroughly, what is he hiding?
Rhetorical question.
"General Guo, do you think I will care about my reputation? Since I've done this kind of thing, fame is an empty word to me. ”
General Guo was speechless, Lin Ran was right, all his good reputation disappeared when Lin Ran rebelled.
Although the rebellion will be concealed, what is told to the people is still that His Majesty the Emperor died at the hands of the people in the rivers and lakes, and the general of Zhenguo swept the entire rivers and lakes in order to avenge His Majesty, and when the great success was completed, Lin Ran successfully sat in the supreme position.
But the people of the world are not really stupid, maybe they know it in their hearts, but they are just unwilling to say it, and they are more willing to accept that fact.
PS: I recommend a friend's book "Crossing Me to Be the Villain", the author D, like me, is on the street.
The poison has been tested, so far it is okay, and if there is a shortage of books, you can try the poison.
Although I'm also a street fighter, and no one reads this book, and it's useless to recommend it, who made us make a py deal......
