Chapter 1219: Quelling the War
Seeing that Lu Yuan's face was not good-looking, Zhou Xi couldn't help but step forward and ask, "What's wrong?" ”
Lu Yuan put away the letter and said in a deep voice: "Three days ago, Yuan Li beheaded Lu Jing in public, and there was almost a civil uprising. ”
Zhou Xi was surprised, "The people's upheaval? Will someone change for Lu Jingmin in Wuxing County? ”
Lu Yuan: "...... It was to compete for Lu Jing's corpse, and Yuan Li sent someone to snatch the corpse back. ”
Zhou Xi didn't know how to comfort him for an instant, and his mouth opened and opened.
Seeing that his face was indescribable, Lu Yuan waved his hand to interrupt what he was about to say, "Don't be embarrassed, shut up." ”
Lu Yuan sighed deeply, "It turns out that he has lost the hearts of the people in Wuxing County to this extent. ”
Zhou Xi is a dignified person, he is generally not sarcastic, but he can't help it at this moment, "I thought the Lu family knew everything, after all, his reputation was so bad that everyone in Luoyang had heard of it, King Langya wanted to replace Lu Jing three times, and you Lu family did your best to protect him." ”
Lu Yuan: ...... Zhou Xi is really annoying.
Director Wang, who was standing not far away, saw that the atmosphere between them was not very good, and finally couldn't help but come forward and find a topic, "The boat has been waiting for a long time, let's board the ship." ”
Just now, the people of the Lu family came by this boat, and at this time, the guests and goods on the boat were all disembarked, and the people who wanted to cross the river here boarded the boat one after another.
Director Wang asked Zhou Xi with his eyes, and Zhou Xi didn't hide it for the Lu family, and directly told Lu Jing about his execution, "It should be with the thousands of miles of transmission you said, Yuan Li can be executed so quickly, and the general is really decisive." ”
This hand is used well to deter people's hearts, don't you see that Lu Yuan's face is white?
Director Wang lowered his eyes and thought slightly, then raised his head and said to Lu Yuan: "Brother Lu, General Zhao is a person who loves the people, she said that she is not to blame in the past, that is, she is not to blame in the past, but from now on, the imperial court will grasp the people's livelihood law in Jiangnan very tightly, and your Lu family does not lack that bit of treasure, why not let go and let go of the people?" ”
Lu Yuan sneered: "Wang Thorn Shi is not the head of the clan, naturally I don't know how much firewood, rice, oil and salt spend, among the clan, there are rich and poor, don't you need money and food to support them?" ”
Director Wang was choked.
Zhou Xi didn't have Director Wang's good temper, so he directly ridiculed: "They are poor, and I haven't seen Patriarch Lu drink less wine and use less pearls, and besides, the Lu clan's people are poor, what does it have to do with ordinary people?" Why put the burden of taxation on them? ”
Lu Yuan was already panicked, and there was nowhere to vent the tyranny in his heart, so he became angry when he heard the words: "Zhou Xi, don't forget what you promised me when you were in Luoyang, why, you won't recognize it when you leave Luoyang?" ”
"I didn't deny it, but don't forget, there is a history of assassination above me, there is a general above the history of assassination, and there is a law above the general, I can tolerate you, Mao Hong is tolerant, but General Zhao may not tolerate it, she can behead Lu Jing today, and he can naturally kill you one day." Zhou Xi smiled coldly, "If your Lu clan doesn't change those bad things, the difficulty of exterminating the clan is just a matter of her raising her fingers." ”
Zhou Xi looked at Director Wang: "Did Wang Tingshi say it?" I heard that the general's henchman Yuan Li became the guest of honor of the Wang family last year, and the dark forces are all over the south of the Yangtze River, and they have a secret treasure in their hands that transmits sound for thousands of miles, I ate a bowl of noodles on the street in the morning, and the general who is far away in Luoyang can know about it at noon. ”
Director Wang: ......
He nodded under the gaze of Zhou Xi and Lu Yuan, "Yes." ”
Therefore, who does he think he can hide from what the Lu family did in Jiangnan?
Lu Yuansheng shuddered.
Seeing the horror in Lu Yuan's eyes, Director Wang couldn't help but flash in his mind that he was secretly invited to the General's Mansion to see Zhao Hanzhang the day before he left Beijing.
At that time, Zhao Hanzhang was dressed in plain clothes, sitting and making tea, and said very casually: "Kyushu in the world, or Yangzhou is the most suitable for growing tea, whether it is black tea, green tea, yellow tea, white tea or black tea, it can be planted in Jiangnan." In such a tolerant land, the patience of the people is also very high. ”
"But we can't ignore the suffering of the people and treat them unfairly just because they can bear it," Zhao Hanzhang said: "Among the several great clans in the south of the Yangtze River, the Lu family is not the only one who treats the people badly, but they are the most blatant and the most annoying. ”
Director Wang could only say: "When I return to Yangzhou, I will definitely talk to the Lu family in detail, restrain them, and no longer allow them to fish and eat the people." ”
Zhao Hanzhang poured him a cup of brewed tea and chuckled: "They just listen, if they don't listen, they also have a way to deal with not listening." I am not the king of Langya, and my whole wealth is pinned on Jiangnan, so I have to endure them breaking the law and committing crimes, and in turn be wary of talented people. ”
King Langya couldn't get rid of the Lu family, but because several great scholars in the south of the Yangtze River were in the same spirit, they in turn suppressed Zhou Xi, who was more duanjin, and typically, the persimmon picked up the soft pinch.
Zhao Hanzhang said: "I like to talk about things on a case-by-case basis, whoever commits a crime will be arrested, and the innocent will not be implicated." ”
Wang Dao: "The general means ......"
"It means that you have to be tougher and catch the culprit directly, and you don't have to avoid the important and light as before, and only catch a few subordinates to scare people. Yangzhou is just a state in the Great Jin Dynasty, and you are the history of Yangzhou Thorn, you can let go of your hands and do it, the sky is falling, and I am on top of it. ”
This is a promise that Director Wang has never heard when he is thinking about Langya Wang, Director Wang looked at the confident and determined Zhao Hanzhang moved and complicated;
And today, looking at Lu Yuan, whose body was trembling slightly, Director Wang's feelings were even more profound, she was right, she did have the ability to make them afraid, let them know shame, loyalty, righteousness and benevolence, abide by the law, and know self-restraint.
People are so strange, persuasion and teaching with good words are not effective, but when the thunder means, they can listen to persuasion.
Director Wang shook his head, turned around and got on the boat, he had to rethink how to get along with these old friends, how to govern Jiangnan.
The war is almost over, right?
Wang Dun should be defeated, right?
Wang Dao's heart was even more complicated, he hoped that Wang Dun would surrender and be escorted to Beijing, and then he could intercede with Zhao Hanzhang to save at least one of his lives;
But he also hopes that he can die on the battlefield, so that the debt of the death of the person can be eliminated, and the impact on the Wang family can be minimized.
Wang Dao's guess was good, Wang Dun did not hold on, he just arrived in Jiankang City on the front foot, and the news of the front line on the back foot came, Wang Dun was defeated, not only the pro-army led by him, but also the main force that went south in a roundabout way was also besieged and annihilated.
Yuan Li and Zhao Shi converged, and Zhao Shen, who was interspersed, joined forces, attacked from the north and south, and surrounded Wang Dun's main force, and most of the people finally surrendered, and only some of the routs escaped;
On the other side, Wang Xuan, Wang Siniang's brothers and sisters and Zu Ti's main force defeated the army led by Wang Dun himself, and Wang Dun finally led a hundred people to break out of the encirclement and escape.
After Zuo Min calmed down the melee on the battlefield, he was about to lead people to chase after him, but was stopped by Zu Li, "Wang Tingshi and General Wang Xuan have already gone." ”
Zuo Min: "Although they have a grudge, Wang Dun is their cousin after all, in case they are favoritism......"
Zu Ti: "That is Mi Ce's defense line, he can't escape, besides, even if he escapes, what if he escapes, he has been removed from the Wang family, and now his reputation is extremely bad, and the people of Jiangnan hate him to the core, and he has no basis for making trouble anymore." ”
It's only two thousand words for today, good night
