Looking at the death of Feng Jinjie, King Zhao has often been stunned in the past few years. At that moment, looking at this sealed report with his own eyes, he was glad for his decision back then.

That person, too powerful, too terrifying, too unfathomable potential. No matter how talented he is and how willing he is to do his best for the country, this kind of person can only reassure the monarch who is on the throne by dying. No matter how much this monarch privately admires him, admires him, and desires to win him over, the result will not be any different.

As long as it is in the way, whether it is thorny grass or fragrant zhilan, it is just a weed that must be removed.

"It seems that the Wind Festival is to leave an heir, a way to continue to manipulate the influence, such a huge business circle. That fake Qu Dao is far from this person. ”

King Zhao sighed for a moment, and finally spoke: "Feng Jinjie is also an idiot. Lu Dongli was ruthless and unjust, and let him die in vain, but he still had to arrange a retreat for him behind him and protect him. ”

Lu Zewei was silent for a moment, but after all, he couldn't bear it: "Lu Dongli is not ruthless and unjust. The two of them, they just take this country too seriously! ”

King Zhao didn't expect Lu Zewei to contradict him, he was stunned for a moment, his face changed several times, and he was almost annoyed and ashamed, but finally let out a long breath and didn't pick up Lu Zewei's topic.

He just stood up, slowly walked in front of Lu Zewei, and looked side by side with him at the map full of red dots on the wall. Then he stretched out his hand and slowly wiped it from the left and right sides of the picture: "These are his strengths." It doesn't matter who inherits this power, Zewei. You see, should we all take advantage of the fact that he has no time to do anything, and the autumn wind sweeps away the leaves. Let's cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

Lu Zewei looked at the red dots on the entire map and sighed deeply: "They are just businessmen, they don't have force to protect themselves, it's easy for the emperor to destroy them." But ......" he involuntarily stretched out his hand and gently stroked the great mountains and rivers of Zhao State: "I am afraid that most of the commercial lifeline of the entire Zhao Kingdom will be destroyed." ”

As an emperor. Zhao Wangdi's vision ability is extremely good. So he was silent. In terms of the art of the world, he has a certain attainment, so he can despise and despise businessmen, but he definitely does not have the courage to let a country waste all its industries from now on.

He thought for a long time, and said slowly: "Zhao Guo is not the only businessman who came out of his Fengjinjie family, if it really can't work, the imperial court can also collect those businesses and send people to run them......"

Lu Zewei only felt cold sweat dripping behind him: "Your Majesty, these Shengdou small people can make ordinary business prosperous and prosperous." But if it's done at official expense. No matter how simple a business is, in the end, it will either be exclusively controlled and disturb the people, or it will be a big loss and a special loss......"

Seeing that King Zhao's face showed an unhappy look, he hurriedly added: "The imperial court is naturally full of talents, but it is just a business technique. The way of economy. But the matter of Chinese martial arts in the DPRK is completely different. The difference between one thought and the error is a thousand miles. Your Majesty must not repeat this thought. ”

King Zhao frowned and said: "Zewei, I know what you want to say, it is nothing more than that if the big boss is the imperial court, then the people from top to bottom will not be able to exert all their efforts, but everyone will benefit from it." It's a big deal for me to learn the wind and strength, and I can let them pour four or six accounts......"

Lu Zewei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If the boss is a private person, if he authorizes the distribution of profits in this way, everyone will call him a benevolent and trustworthy person, and he sincerely appreciates it." But the things of the court, in the eyes of people, are equivalent to the things that have no owner. Don't say that the profit of four or six points is down, that is, the bottom of nineteen, and the people's hearts are still insufficient. They will not be tolerant and sincere, but will only see that they are easy to deceive. The interests of the court do not belong to the people who supervise the court, so they are in collusion to the detriment of the country and themselves, and they have no scruples, so they cannot be eliminated......"

He was a strategist, not a prime minister. When the secret room is privately discussed, there is no scruple in speaking, and the words are very straightforward.

King Zhao is not a person who does not understand the way of the world, and he also understands that although the strength of these merchants is not small, they have now been discovered by them one step ahead, as long as they are checked and supervised, it is impossible for this latent force to degenerate into a terrible anti-court force. However, as an emperor, looking at the red dots on the wall, my heart is extremely uncomfortable no matter what.

"Zewei, could it be that you are too worried? Even if the government office cannot be long-term, it can always be temporarily supported for a period of time. During this period, there will naturally be other businessmen who will rise up at the opportunity, and those businesses will always be rushed to do in the end. ”

Lu Ze sighed slightly, stretched out his hand and crossed the entire map, pointing to the dense red dots that were innumerable for a while: "Your Majesty, here is half of the commercial power of Zhao State, involving all walks of life, intertwined, and how many of them are closely related to the interests of local officials and families. Your Majesty, what reasonable reason can you have to come up with a famous teacher, to wipe them all out and destroy them all, without causing turmoil and panic? ”

King Zhao was finally speechless. Lu Dongli and the wind are these hidden things, he will never be able to announce them to the world. And to use trumped-up charges, the entire country, all walks of life, and all major influential businesses will be destroyed, and their property will be confiscated, which will inevitably cause everyone to be in danger.

He is the emperor, and he can destroy these merchants for any reason. In history, there have indeed been precedents for emperors to be short-sighted, jealous of the wealth of merchants, and suppressed the rich merchants of the world for no reason. But he's not that kind of fool.

When all the merchants frantically sold their properties, hid their wealth, and bought a large amount of fertile land, in order to abandon the merchants and cultivate their own families, which led to large-scale land annexation, and the turmoil caused by the unemployment of a large number of merchants, and the serious dissatisfaction of the local forces behind these merchants, he could not take advantage of the various attacks of this turmoil, so he could not act rashly.

King Zhao looked at the map in a daze, and only after a long time did he mutter: "What a strong festival...... It's a windy festival. ”

He sighed infinitely and sighed infinitely. At first glance, once the hidden power of the wind and earth is exposed, it has no ability to protect itself, and it can be left to the king's disposal at will. But when he really wanted to wipe out all threats, he found that it would be so costly and contradictory to destroy the forces established by Feng Jinjie during his lifetime.

If these are really all anti-thieves and rebels against the party, no matter how much he suffers, he must also wipe them all out. However, they are mostly lowly businessmen, and most of them don't even know what is going on. Among them, only a very small number of people will risk the sky to help Feng Jinjie do a little bit of disobedience to the court for the sake of kindness and righteousness.

For example, Qu Daoyuan is ready to rescue Lu Dongli. For example, when the Lu family was in trouble, Su Wanzhen's mother and son were rescued in advance by the so-called folk knights.

This net, the Wind Festival is only maintained purely by old feelings. Businessmen have always made heavy profits, and where will anyone really devote themselves to it, regardless of it

Who do you want to serve? So this net, it's scary to watch. The role is not to be regarded as the heir of the wind.

As a king, can he be suspicious and uneasy, just to destroy such a fragile network, and rashly destroy everything, so that his country will lose countless business elites, and let all industries wither and people panic? It's not worth it!

It's just that King Zhao couldn't let go of the unhappiness in his heart after all: "In any case, this Feng Jinjie calmly and casually controlled the Ruxu forces." In the end, it can't help but make people feel emotional. ”

Lu Ze smiled slightly: "Your Majesty." Where is the wind festival calmly and casually. How much effort did he put into teaching talents, giving grace everywhere, and accumulating years and months to accumulate such a little connection. And his so-called power, His Majesty wants to use it for his own use, but it is just easy. ”

King Zhao was slightly stunned. Lu Ze smiled slightly: "Feng Jinjie wants to use grace and righteousness to tie everyone up." Others will not listen to him. Whether you want to help him or not depends entirely on whether others remember their kindness or not. But His Majesty only needs a holy decree. Who would dare to disobey? No matter where these people come from or who their benefactors are, they are all the people of the Great Zhao Kingdom, and they are all serious and law-abiding businessmen. They will certainly honor His Majesty and obey His Majesty's commands. Therefore, the so-called power of the Wind Festival actually belonged to His Majesty. ”

King Zhao was stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Zewei, Zewei, you can tell you everything." Although I also know that you are a word of comfort and a favor to me, I really love to hear it. Hah, let's go. They are all my people, and what if I spare their lives? ”

Lu Zewei finally relaxed, bowed and smiled: "Your Majesty is wise." The more they are allowed to stay still, the more difficult it is to startle the snake, and it is convenient to catch the two of them. ”

King Zhao's eyes flashed: "Recently, these two people have completely disappeared, and the whereabouts of these two people cannot be found anywhere, and they have never been aware of any connection with any of the old genus of the Wind Festival. What do you have to do to capture these two? ”

Lu Zewei said eloquently: "Now, around all the businesses related to the Wind Festival, I am ambushed. The higher the status, the stronger the influence, the greater the power, and the closer the relationship with the Fengjin Festival back then, the more people I arranged. I believe that the concealment of the heirs of the Wind Festival and Lu Dongli must be temporary, and it is impossible for them to never use the power left by the Wind Festival, and as long as any of them try to contact these merchants, I will be able to detect it immediately. But ......"

Lu Zewei's face showed a confident look: "It's still too slow to wait for the rabbit like this." Rather than us bothering to wait for him in all directions, it is better to let them jump out of their own hands and crash into the palm of His Majesty's hand. ”

As soon as he said this, King Zhao already had a clear expression, and nodded with a sneer: "You go and arrange it!" I just waited to see someone. His expression suddenly became strange: "I must see with my own eyes what kind of person he is the successor of the land he has chosen for himself, and I must also see with my own eyes what kind of land Lu Dongli has fallen to now!" ”

Lu Zewei didn't say anything more, just gave a salute, turned around and exited the imperial study.

It's dark at night. They had been talking for a long time, and it was now midnight. Suddenly walking from the deep hall to the lonely moon, Lu Zewei couldn't help but feel a little chilly. He shrank slightly, looked up at the stars and moons in the sky, and sighed silently in the depths of his heart.

――――――――――――――――――

Half a month later, Mrs. Lu, the widow of the late Marshal Lu, was in deep grief and couldn't afford to fall ill because she missed her deceased husband. The Lu family did everything possible to delay medical treatment and treatment, but Mrs. Lu's illness continued unabated.

The magistrate did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to Beijing. When the pilgrim king even sent several wills, care, and greetings. He also transferred the imperial physician in the palace, and rushed to the clinic day and night with the best medicinal materials in the palace. The local officials also received an edict from the imperial court to diagnose and treat Mrs. Lu, which can comfort the hearts of the people in the world, but can calm the soul of the loyal and good heroes and the underground, and must not be neglected.

The imperial court was so solemn that officials at all levels in the local county government and county did not go all out to search for famous doctors, and notices were posted in various market towns to seek good doctors.

In the blink of an eye, the news that Marshal Lu's widow was seriously ill and dying spread to every corner of Zhao State. Even a small mountain village got the news.

This small village located on the mountain is closed to traffic, and the life of the villagers is simple and simple, and there are few turmoil. Therefore, on this day, the city government specially sent someone to solemnly post a notice in the most prosperous place in the village...... The only one outside the small wine stall.

Immediately before the notice, a group of people gathered to watch the excitement. There was not a single literate person or two in the village, so everyone shook their heads at the signs, but no one could understand what was written.

By the time there was only one old lady in the village who had passed the Xiucai examination and was now in her sixties, she was invited, and the outside of the notice was already three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounded by people.

There are more crowds, and the business of the wine stall next to it is inexplicably much better. The old man Wang, who was selling wine, ran over and jumped over, he was really busy, and he was so happy that the smile lines on his face became more and more happy, and whoever called him was happy to respond.

"Uncle Wang."

"Oh, you're here? Are you done with the wine again? Old man Wang smiled even more happily, up and down, he would call him uncle instead of Old Man Wang's guest, and there was only this frequent visitor who lived on the mountain. This person is handsome and tall, kind and easy-going, and extremely generous, which can be regarded as Boss Wang's favorite guest.

Old man Wang laughed and quickly took the wine jug handed by the guest to give him wine.

"Yes, going down the mountain to drink seems to be catching up with the excitement, what are so many people around?"

"It's a notice from the government, and I don't know what it says, but Mrs. Sun just went in and read it, and I think it will be ...... right away."

Before the words fell, a roaring shout was heard in the crowd.

"Ah, I understand, I understand, Mrs. Sun said, is Mrs. Lu seriously ill, and the court is asking for medical treatment in the four places?"

"Which Mrs. Lu?"

"Which one else, is the wife of Marshal Lu, who is loyal and righteous in the play......"

Old man Wang sighed, shook his head, and kept filling the wine jug with his hands and feet: "In these years, good people don't live long, poor Marshal Lu, he died unjustly, and now even his wife ......."

Seeing that the wine jug was full, he looked up and smiled: "Mr. Qu......"
