Chapter 143, Insight Enlightenment Hanging High Hall
Yongzhou, Jingzhao County, north of Chang'an City, south bank of the Wei River.
Tens of thousands of troops had just crossed the river, gathered their formations again, and headed in the direction of Chang'an City.
In the army, Xia Pei, dressed in a red and yellow uniform, rode at the front of the queue, and behind him were the twelve generals of the Dayuan Dynasty who were the most capable of fighting well, half of whom were all relatives of the Xia clan.
But I saw that Xia Pei was tall and well-proportioned, a pair of sword eyebrows flew obliquely into his temples, heroic, his eyes were bright, and his handsome face showed a little tired.
He is not yet over thirty years old, but in this group of tigers and wolves, there is a special existence, and his temperament is like a king's posture, his expression is as calm as water, and he gives people a feeling of extreme security.
This is not like what a sterile emperor should look like, but he has the attitude of a wise monarch.
"General Yue......
He spoke suddenly, calling out to a general behind him.
This person is Yue Li, the general of Zhengdong.
If Lu Zhaoyi was here, she would definitely be able to recognize one of the generals who clearly supported her after she first discussed in court.
At this moment, hearing Xia Pei's shout, he immediately rode to Xia Pei's side and arched his hand, "Your Majesty summons the ministers, what do you command?"
Xia Pei paused, and thought for a moment, "You said, I sent a gift to Shangluo, she ...... Did you get it?"
"Hahaha......" Yue Li immediately laughed when he heard it, he looked at Xia Pei's eyes, and there was a look of relief when the elders looked at the juniors.
"Your Majesty, how do you know if Lu Niangzi has received it, and seeing that Shangluo is not far away, why don't you ask Your Majesty in person?"
"You ......" Xia Pei's face suddenly turned slightly red, and he was almost choked by his words, and after adjusting it, he continued, "I plan to let you go, it just so happens that General Yue is from Shangluo, so he just had the opportunity to go home and take a look......
Yue Li's old face pulled, and then he smiled even more happily, "Your Majesty's excuse is really too different, isn't it? Everyone knows that the Chen family has moved to Luojing, where are there any relatives in Shangluo?"
Hearing this, Xia Pei choked. And Yue Li also saw his thoughts, and immediately patted the emperor's shoulder, and said bluntly, "Since Your Majesty misses the landing lady so much, just issue an edict and let her come to see Your Majesty, anyway, the remnants of the Wang clan and the Wei clan in Guanzhong are no longer a threat, and there will be no danger."
"Besides, Your Majesty, the endgame in Guanzhong still needs to be handled by the wise man of Lu Niangzi, isn't it?"
His words were reasonable and well-founded, making it impossible to refute them, and Xia Pei's eyes suddenly lit up, turned around, and shouted at the army, "Where is Qiu Quzi, come here......
Sure enough, in the crowd, Qiu Quzi held a large number of objects and jumped and raised his hand in response.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your Majesty is here."
As he spoke, he trotted over with something in his arms.
"Let's go into the city later, draw up a decree for me, and send it to Shangluo. The content, you polish it, don't let Lu Qiniang see something."
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Quzi's eyes kept turning, and he only thought about it for half a moment, and then he understood it immediately.
"Understood. Your Majesty, the minister wrote that the Guan Sergeant clan no longer poses a threat to the imperial court, but afterwards, how to govern the eight counties of Yongzhou in the future, Your Majesty needs Lu Qiniang to propose and order her to return to Chang'an as soon as possible!"
"Okay! Yes!" Xia Pei nodded with satisfaction, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.
At the same time, Shangluo County.
In this quiet and peaceful county, it has become noisy again because of Lu Zhaoyi's return.
In the county office, Wei Meng sat in the duty room, his legs resting on the table, looking extremely lazy.
"This Shangluo County is so quiet, there is not even a petty thief, it's really boring."
Beamon stretched, still complaining.
"Isn't that good? If the whole world is like Shangluo, the years are peaceful, and the people are recuperating, isn't it our lifelong wish?"
The voice came in from outside the door and fell into Webon's ears, so beautiful and soft, that he was a little stunned.
Until he saw the person in front of him clearly, his face changed greatly, and he couldn't wait to get up from the seat immediately.
"Lu, Lu Niangzi, you, when you come back, don't give me a command, so that I can wait to meet you......
Obviously, what he said was so unconfident that Qu Zhiyun covered her mouth and snickered.
She looked at Wei Meng with a smile, with a bit of banter in her eyes: "I've been lazy all these days, right?"
"Why, how can you? Lu Niangzi, when you come back, don't you see the brothers patrolling the streets?"
Lu Zhaoyi smiled and nodded, "Well, I saw it."
When the words fell, Wei Meng breathed a sigh of relief, but in her next game, her heart once again raised her throat.
"I saw an old woman with leg problems and wanted to go to the market, but your people helped the old woman and sent her home."
「……」
"Also, the old man on East Street obviously wanted to carry water home, but your people, thinking that the old man was looking for a short view, ignored his request, dragged him to the shore, and lost the bucket he was carrying water."
"I can't go any further. That's how you manage order in the city?"
When Wei Meng heard this, cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and he lowered his head and was secretly ashamed.
However, Lu Zhaoyi didn't blame him, he slowed down for a while, gave him a little time to think, and then chuckled, "Being an official is no better than fighting a war, as an official, you must be sympathetic to the people, understand the people's anxieties, distinguish between right and wrong, and support justice." If you have nothing to do, don't do it again."
Speaking of which, Wei Meng suddenly figured it out, and understood that she was mentioning herself, so he knelt down at her immediately, "Lu Niangzi is kind-hearted, it is really rare, and it is Wei's honor to be able to do things for Lu Niangzi......
"Alright. Flattery is better than saying, you go and take care of your subordinates first."
Wei Meng agreed, grinning and hurriedly retreated.
At this time, she told Ying Xue to go and bring Wei Ci and Wang Rong, who Xia Pei escorted and sent a few days ago, out of the prison, and she wanted to have a good trial.
Just after Ying Xue left, Qu Zhiyun pursed her lips and said frankly, "Do you really think you are this little county lieutenant? I can assure you that in a few days, Your Majesty will issue an edict to transfer you back."
"I also know that the situation in Guanzhong has been decided, and according to His Majesty's temperament, it is inevitable to transfer me to his side." Lu Zhaoyi smiled, his eyes unconsciously looking outside.
Here, there are traces left by her father, and this place can be so peaceful, thanks to her father's governance back then, and the current county order, which is also his successor at the beginning, has also continued the original governance law, which can make the people here live so peacefully.
At this moment, Lu Zhaoyi doesn't want to leave here so soon, she still wants to see more of the customs here, and she also wants to feel the rare peace.
However, she is well aware of the responsibility she has to bear, and she will not stay like this for a long time.
Thinking of this, she sighed lightly, "Xu is His Majesty's edict is on the way to Shangluo, these days, we will hurry up and finish what we have to do."
With that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
In the county office, they were still talking and laughing, and inadvertently, Ying Xue led the shadow guards and escorted two people in prison uniforms who were tied up by five flowers.
"Qi Niang, people have already brought it."
These two people, Wei Ci and Wang Rong, are closely related to Lu Yong's death.
Because these two people are the real descendants of the Wei family and the Wang family, they also have a high degree of control over the affairs of Guanzhong.
Not to mention, the masterminds behind these two families, the two of them must have contact.
"Let's go. Let's go to the county hall and have a good trial...... Let's go and let the prefectural order ascend to the church!" Lu Zhaoyi said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Ying Xue bowed, and then, she led someone to escort Wei Ci and Wang Rong to the lobby.
When they came to the lobby, although the county order sat in the hall, they basically listened to Lu Zhaoyi who was standing under the hall, and more, as an observer.
The gate of the county government was closed, and the officials stood on both sides of the hall, each holding a knife on guard.
Lu Zhaoyi first saluted the county order, turned his head, and looked at the two kneeling on the ground with cold eyes.
"Who's in the hall? Report your name."
At this moment, Wei Ci and Wang Rong were already pale, and they raised their heads one after another, staring at her with two pairs of vicious eyes.
When he was in Gaoling City, after the two of them were captured, Xia Pei planned to kill the two on the spot.
At the request of the shadow spirit, knowing that Lu Zhaoyi needed these two people, he issued an edict to turn them into commoners, take away their Ding status, and become slaves.
Along the way, Wei and Wang were escorted and lived a life that was inferior to pigs and dogs.
Since they were born, they have always been clothed and fed, because of the blessing of the family, they used to be infinitely beautiful, how could they have ever been in such a situation.
Now, after being taken to the county office, they only feel as if their fate has been sealed, and there is no chance to change.
Seeing that the two of them hadn't spoken for a long time, Lu Zhaoyi couldn't help frowning, his expression was cold, "It's okay if you don't speak. Wei Ci, Wang Rong, this official asks you, four years ago, Shangluo County guarded Lu Yong too much, but he died at the hands of the two of you?"
When the two of them heard this, they looked sideways together, and then looked at her a little crazy.
Among them, Wang Rong snorted coldly, and a thick mockery flashed in his eyes.
"So what, no so what? Even if it is, he deserves to die, and it is an obstacle to my Wang family's plan for big things, and he will definitely die. Hehehehehe......"
He smiled extremely eeriely, his eyes were full of resentment, as if he wanted to cut Lu Zhaoyi with a thousand knives.
She had long guessed that these two people were by no means good, and sure enough, they were really hard to change.
She walked to the front of the hall, signaled to the county order, and then picked up the order note and threw it on the ground. z.br>
"Someone, execution!"
Immediately, the officials dragged the two out and prepared to be punished with sticks.
While they were being dragged along, they still had words in their mouths, and they were not afraid at all, "This world is ours, he Xia Pei is just a thief who steals the country, Xia Pei can't die well......
As soon as these words came out, the county commander was startled, and shouted at the official with a panicked expression, "Bastard! How dare you curse the Son of Heaven and give me a rod to kill......
"Wait!"
As soon as Lu Zhaoyi spoke, the county commander was slightly stunned, and his face changed very quickly with a flattering look.
"Lu Niangzi, such a thief dares to curse the Son of Heaven, this ......"
But she had a cold face and shot back: "Chang County Order, I'm interrogating the prisoners, are you killing the prisoners with a cane like this to shield the people behind them?"
"No, no, no, I didn't mean to......" The county commander panicked, and ordered the officials outside not to beat people to death.
After the execution, the two were dragged back covered in blood, dying, and no longer as arrogant as Fang Cai.
"Wei Ci." Lu Zhaoyi looked at the other person.
She found that this person was not as hard as Wang Rong, and his temperament was a little weaker, so he should be a good one.
"This official asks you, who instructed you four years ago to kill Lu Yong?"
Hearing this, Wei Ci glanced at her weakly, as if he was a little dignified, his eyes rolled, and he sneered, "If I say it, what good can I do?"
