Chapter 425 - Scheming

Seeing that things had progressed to this extent, it was time for him to come forward to solve it, Chu Lianyu got up, walked to Lin Haotian's side, bent down, and whispered, "My lord, can you speak further?"

Now Lin Haotian is most dissatisfied with Chu Lianyu, if it weren't for his advice, he would definitely not let Zhang Hui be the city lord at the beginning, let alone let him investigate the case, now it's okay, check and check, and finally find his head, it's difficult to ride a tiger, and lose face.

He turned his head and glared at Chu Lianyu fiercely, and the implication was to ask him: What else do you have to say now?

Of course, Chu Lianyu understood Lin Haotian's annoyance at this time, he pretended not to know, and asked again, "My lord, can you speak further?"

That is, Chu Lianyu, if it was someone else, Lin Haotian would have turned his face at this time. He took a deep breath, slowly stood up, didn't say anything, and walked behind Pingjin.

Chu Lianyu followed quickly, and then pulled Lin Haotian's sleeve until he walked to the corner of the wall before stopping.

Lin Haotian shook his arm vigorously and asked, "Chu Lianyu, what do you want to say?"

"Your Excellency should accept Zhang Hui's words, take the hair as the head, and punish yourself in public!" Chu Lianyu said in a low voice.

"Heh!" Lin Haotian sneered and asked rhetorically, "I heard you right, do you think I didn't lose enough face today?"

Chu Lianyu asked, "Then do you think face is important or is the world important?"

Lin Haotian looked at Chu Lianyu strangely and wondered, "What do you mean by this?"

Chu Lianyu nodded and said, "That's right! If the lord takes the hair as the head and punishes himself in public, it will indeed be a big shame, but by doing so, he can win the hearts of the naked people! No one is a saint or a sage, and the adult is no exception." But. If adults can reflect on their mistakes after making mistakes and punish themselves as punishments, they will make the world look up to adults.

After a pause, Chu Lianyu said again: "It is indeed a mistake to kill the whole family of Laifu Teahouse. But at the same time, it is also an opportunity, adults can take this matter as a play, the bloody case is the beginning of the play, and let Zhang Hui investigate the case is the process of the play, but the result of the play is not for Zhang Hui, but for the people of Wanfang City and all the red people, to let people know that the adult is a good commander who knows his mistakes and can change his mind, not a cruel and unkind faint king like Shi Huai. This contrast between light and dark. Won't it give adults a head start in winning hearts and minds?"

Listening to Chu Lianyu finish speaking in one breath, Lin Haotian inhaled, his eyes rolled again and again, and after a while, a smile appeared on his face, and he asked in disbelief: "It turns out that you have premeditated?"

"Of course, how could the last general let an adult do something meaningless and humiliating?" Chu Lianyu said with a smile: "Even if there was no Zhang Hui at the beginning, the last general would have sent someone else to find out about this matter." Win the reputation of the red people for adults. However, with Zhang Hui, a red man, volunteering to come forward, the effect is naturally even better. At the same time, it can also reveal a very important message to the Red People, the Lord is a meritocracy, regardless of the background, so that I can absorb the talents of the Red Kingdom in the future. ”

Lin Haotian shook his head with a smile, what is called scheming, it is fully reflected in Chu Lianyu, fortunately, Chu Lianyu is his own person. If the enemy country has such talents, it will be a big trouble for his own henchmen.

"I understand! Isn't it just to replace the head with a hair? I can still afford to lose this face!" Lin Haotian said with a relaxed expression.

Chu Lianyu bowed down and said, "Your Excellency is wise!" After a pause, he changed his words and asked again, "What do you think of Zhang Hui?"

Lin Haotian was stunned, and muttered while pondering: "Although this person is talented. But it's too rigid and doesn't know how to be flexible. ”

Chu Lianyu smiled and said: "There are thousands of virtuous people in the world, there are countless and countless talents, but there are very few virtuous people who dare to give direct advice, and even fewer people who dare to risk death regardless of their own lives, because of this, Zhang Hui is very valuable." ”

Thinking about Chu Lianyu's words carefully, Lin Haotian nodded slowly, feeling that what he said was not unreasonable.

"The last general feels that the adults can't abandon Zhang Hui because of his uprightness, on the contrary, they should reuse him!"

Chu Lianyu restrained his smile and said meaningfully: "Looking around at the civil and military ministers of our army, there are many talented generals, but among them, there are many who are exquisite, good at flattery, and few are upright and dare to speak outright against their superiors. Recently, the last general has often been thinking that if one day the last general can no longer be by his side, then who among the generals in the army can dare to contradict the adult and correct the adult's decision like the last general? Until Zhang Hui appears, the last general can find the best person to succeed me. ”

Chu Lianyu's words made Lin Haotian deeply moved, and at the same time, he also shivered, subconsciously reached out and grabbed Chu Lianyu's arm tightly, and asked, "Why aren't you by my side?"

"My lord, there are unpredictable golden clouds in the sky, and people have good and bad luck......" Chu Lianyu lowered his head and said in a low voice.

Lin Haotian's heart shrank as if it had been pierced by a needle. He has long been accustomed to Chu Lianyu's company, and he has long been accustomed to accepting Chu Lianyu's advice at critical moments, he never thought that one day Chu Lianyu would not be on his side.

He instinctively reacted and clasped Chu Lianyu's arm tighter, and said: "I never believe that there are unpredictable golden clouds in the sky, and people have good fortune and misfortune, I only believe that people will win the sky, don't forget the promise you made to me at the beginning, you will accompany me to lay down a vast territory." You can't go anywhere without my permission, and no one can take you away from me, not even the King of Heaven or the Grim Reaper of Hell

Lin Haotian's words moved Chu Lianyu very much, and the latter took a few deep breaths, restrained his emotions, pretended to smile leisurely, and said, "My lord, please rest assured, I will try my best to live longer than my lord." ”

Hearing him say this, Lin Haotian was not unhappy, but a lot more relaxed, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I hope so!" After a pause, he turned the topic back to Zhang Hui and asked: "Chu Lianyu, you said that Zhang Hui should be rewarded again, so how about we take down the whole county of Anqiu and let him be the head of the county?"

"No, no!" Chu Lianyu's head shook like a rattle, and said: "Zhang Hui is not suitable to stay in the place, he is too loyal to the Red Kingdom, and if he stays in the place, he will become a disaster in the future." ”

Lin Haotian sighed and said, "Yes, he is too loyal to Chiguo, such a person will be a trouble sooner or later." ”

Chu Lianyu said with a straight face: "Loyalty is not necessarily a shortcoming, as long as the adults use it properly, Zhang Hui will be more reassuring than those wall grasses in the rest of the Red Kingdom." ”

"What do you mean......"

"Transfer Zhang Hui to our country as an official! I believe that Zhang Hui must be very suitable!" Chu Lianyu suggested.

"Okay! according to your opinion!" Lin Haotian nodded in agreement, then looked at Pingjin's side, and said, "We've been closed long enough, it's time to go out." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Lin Haotian and Chu Lianyu turned out from behind the screen unhurriedly, both of them were expressionless, just looking at their appearance, no one could guess what the two of them had discussed just now.

Seeing that the adults had already come out, everyone present was in the same spirits, and their bodies leaned forward subconsciously, holding the hilt of the sword tightly with their palms, just waiting for Lin Haotian to give an order, they could all rush forward and break Zhang Hui's body into pieces.

Lin Haotian looked around at everyone, and finally, his eyes fell on Zhang Hui, and he said in a flat tone: "Lord Zhang is not afraid of the monarchy, he is discerning, and he fights according to reason, and in the end, the case of the Fu Teahouse will be found out, which can be called a model of loyalty and goodness." With such a virtuous minister, it is too condescending to be only a city lord, and the commander does not want to bury talents, so he is now promoted to Zhang Hui as a staff officer of the army. ”

No one expected that Zhang Hui would set the punishment on the head of the adult, and the adult not only did not blame him, but also promoted him to the staff officer of the army, which is incredible. People looked at each other, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Some of the smarter Jin generals thought that Lin Haotian was deliberately sweetening Zhang Hui, so as to close his mouth, and said one after another: "Zhang Hui, the adults treat you so kindly, why don't you hurry up and thank you?"

What made people shocked and angry was that Zhang Hui was not moved at all by the staff officers accompanying the army, and said righteously: "General Lin's good intentions have been grasped by the last general, but as a red man, how can the last general have a reason to serve in the Jin National Army?

"Zhang Hui is bold! The mad dog of the Red Kingdom, he really doesn't know how to lift!" the golden generals glared at him indignantly. (To be continued......)
