Just when Ran Min, Qin Mu, and Xun Ji were drinking fragrant tea and sitting and talking, a brocade guard wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife pinned to his waist ran in after being reported.

"What?"

"Your Majesty, something has happened. The wives and children of Li Song's family, old and young, were all killed! ”

"What?!"

Ran Min suddenly changed color: "What did you Jinyiwei do?" Didn't I ask you to escort Li Song's family to Xuchang safely? Why were they all killed? ”

This brocade guard suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and couldn't help but stubbornly replied: "Your Majesty forgives your sins." In accordance with His Majesty's will, we sent twenty Jinyi guards to protect Li Song's family, which I originally thought was safe enough, after all, the thieves along the way did not dare to act rashly when they saw that it was Jinyiwei. Who would have thought that when passing through a three-way junction in Fuyang, many thieves and twenty brocade guards would suddenly be killed, and only one survived to come back to report the news! ”

"It's ridiculous!"

Ran Min said angrily: "In the territory of my Great Wei, the dignified brocade guard, the army of the Son of Heaven was actually ambushed by thieves? Check, check for me, don't let go of any of the people involved in the investigation! ”

"No!"

The brocade guard then retired.

Ran Min was indeed very angry, but not because of the inaction of the Jinyi Guard, but because he was angry that the Jiangdong Shi Clan dared to intercept and kill the people escorted by the Jinyi Guard so blatantly, and he Ran Min named the people who wanted to be resettled!

Insulting words!

What a shame!

How did Li Song, the county guard of Wu County, die?

He committed suicide by taking poison, but before he committed suicide, he had already told Ran Min the truth, made a statement, and left a suicide note, which was all about the people involved in Wu County's tax payment of so little over the years, etc., it was according to the letter left by Li Song that Ran Min was able to send Jinyi Guard, and in the case of conclusive evidence, he killed one hundred and three corrupt guys in one go.

Before Li Song died, he also asked Ran Min to protect his family in his suicide note. That's what Ran Min did, but who knew that such a ridiculous thing would happen?

"Hateful! Damn it! These Jiangdong warriors should be killed! Ran Min gritted his teeth and said.

"Your Majesty is angry!" Seeing that Ran Min was angry again, Qin Mu and Xun Ji next to him hurriedly spoke out to admonish.

Ran Min sat down on the chair with a slump of his buttocks, and sighed suddenly: "I, I am entrusted by Li Song." He knew that it was death to deceive me, and it was death to tell the truth of the matter, but Li Song still chose to stand on my side without hesitation, and asked me to protect his family in his suicide note, but I didn't do it! Losing faith in others, I am a monarch in vain! ”

"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself too much." Xun Ji said with relief: "It's all because these Jiangdong clans are too cunning and cruel. Li Song had already committed suicide by taking poison, but he didn't expect that in order to take revenge on Li Song, His Majesty, and the court, they would even resort to such indiscriminate tricks, even Li Song's wife and children! ”

Ran Min shook his head with a look of self-reproach and said, "I should have thought of how lawless and lawless the local scholars in Jiangdong, especially the four surnames of Wu County, were. Back then, Sun Ce was assassinated by Xu Gong's disciples, and he succeeded for the first time! The people of Jiangdong are fierce, chivalrous and righteous, eager for quick success. They can even assassinate their own lord, let alone Li Song's family? ”

At that time, Sun Ce was in Jiangdong, and successively defeated Liu Xuan, Yan Baihu and Liu Xun, and for a time he was in the limelight, Sun Ce unified Jiangdong, and even Cao Cao was a little worried and afraid.

Until the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao held each other in Guandu, Sun Ce saw the opportunity and prepared to attack Xu Du to welcome Emperor Han Xian.

The cause of the incident was that Xu Gong wrote a secret letter to tell Cao Cao that Cao Cao should be wary of Sun Ce and prevent Sun Ce's power from expanding, and after the matter was revealed, Xu Gong was killed by Sun Ce, therefore, Xu Gong's disciples always wanted to kill Sun Ce to take revenge, and in the end, Sun Ce was assassinated, injured and died, at the age of twenty-six.

If Sun Ce doesn't die, what will happen to the Three Kingdoms?

Ran Min felt that it was very likely to change the entire pattern of the Three Kingdoms, maybe it was still a question of whether Cao Cao could unify the north, maybe when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were fighting, Sun Ce's sneak attack on Xu Du was successful, and the Three Kingdoms would have nothing to do with Cao Cao!

It's a pity that God was jealous of the talent, so Sun Ce died young, leaving a regret for the ages.

Regarding Sun Ce's death, it is actually still confusing. Some people say that Sun Quan is behind the scenes, some people say that the Jiangdong Shi clan is behind the scenes, and some people say that Cao Cao is the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, Ran Min thinks that it is unlikely that Sun Quan is the mastermind behind the scenes, because this guy was only seventeen years old at that time, but Boss Cao is more likely, because it happened that Boss Cao was facing the situation of being attacked by the enemy at that time, and Sun Ce died, so he had one less strong enemy.

And Boss Cao wanted to add fuel to the scenes and assassinate Sun Ce, without the cooperation of the local Jiangdong clan, it would be impossible.

Li Song's family has died, and Ran Min is not good at adding grief to the past, so he let people bury the deceased.

Qin Mu and Xun Ji retreated, and Ran Min was still thinking about taking a good nap, and at this time, someone came to spread the word, saying that Lu Ran, the head of the Lu family, wanted to see him.

Lu Ran? What did he do when he came to me?

Ran Min didn't think much about it, so he asked Lu Ran to bring him in.

"Grass people Lu Ran, knock on His Majesty the Emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! As soon as he came in, Lu Ran, who was already bowing his eyebrows and trembling, bowed three times and bowed nine times to Ran Min.

Lu Ran once served as an official of the county guard in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but he was old, and in the name of empty talk, he had no achievements in political achievements, so the Wei State did not appoint him as an official from beginning to end, and let him be in charge of the party.

In the past, Lu Ran had also met the emperors of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but the etiquette of the monarch and the courtiers was different from the etiquette of the grass people facing the monarch.

Suddenly meeting the emperor as a grass people, Lu Ran really didn't know what etiquette was better, so he could only treat each other according to the etiquette that courtiers treated the monarch in the past.

"Let's be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ran Min did not give Lu Ran a seat, so the latter was not qualified to sit down. Since becoming the emperor, especially after ruling the country and becoming rich all over the world, Ran Min doesn't know what Corporal Lixian is, he doesn't need to break the corporal!

So Lu Ran kept standing and talking.

"Lu Ran, what is the important thing for you to come to see me?" Ran Min didn't do Tai Chi with him, and asked him straightforwardly about his intentions.

Lu Ran hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, the grass people are here to tell you that the Jiangdong Shi clan led by the Zhu clan of Wujun has already rebelled and is plotting, and it seems that they want to be unfavorable to Your Majesty. ”

"Oh? Bad for me? I don't know how it is an unfavorable law? Ran Min looked confused.

"This ...... The grass people don't know. Since His Majesty sent Lord Xu Wei to contact the grass people, the grass people have been abiding by their duties and not going out, but recently, Zhu sent an invitation to the grass people, inviting the grass people to his mansion. The minister did not agree, and it is said that there were 20 scholars who were invited, all of whom were local leaders in Jiangdong, and most of them were heads of various families. ”

Hearing this, Ran Min sneered and said, "Lu Ran, just based on this, you dare to conclude that the Jiangdong Shi clan headed by the Zhu clan is going to be unfavorable to me?" You see, this false accusation is also a sin. ”

"Your Majesty, what the grass people said is absolutely true!"

Lu Ran said hurriedly: "Zhu Tao, the head of the Zhu family, has long been opposed, this time the imperial court executed one hundred and three children of the scholar clan involved in the Li Song case in one go, most of them are inextricably related to the Zhu family, and Zhu Tao's son Zhu Xi was directly beheaded to show the public. So Zhu Tao has a grudge against the court! ”

"Hmph, what can he do with a grudge? Is it a secret to me? ”

"This ...... It's not impossible. That's all the grass people say, and please be cautious with Your Majesty. Lu Ran said to the end.

Seeing this, Ran Min glanced at him with appreciation and said, "Lu Ran, you are very good. As the so-called person who knows the times is a junjie, in my opinion, you are also a handsome among people, at least much better than other Jiangdong clans who dare to rebel. I already know this, and I'm glad you can report it to me! The matter of your entry into the county government should be known by the people of the scholar clan, so aren't you afraid of being resisted by the major scholar clans, and even assassinated? ”

Lu Ran said solemnly: "The grass people are afraid. But the grass people believe that sometimes a person should do something and not do something! There are a lot of dirty things among the Jiangdong clans, but they are never allowed to make rebellion and murder the king! Therefore, the grass people would rather be willing to cut their bodies, but also inform Your Majesty of this matter, so that Your Majesty can prepare for a rainy day! ”

This Lu Ran is really a talent, and he can express his loyalty so "Qingqi"!

Ran Min comforted Lu Ran with a few words of kindness, and sent him away.

In the final analysis, the relationship between Ran Min and the Lu family is just a relationship of mutual use.

Some of the Jiangdong clans led by the Lu clan used Ran Min's hands to eradicate those lawless Jiangdong clans, and then they could fill this vacuum of rights and interests and obtain greater benefits.

And Ran Min can also use them to uproot the Jiangdong Shi clan who dare to oppose him, and rely on them to govern the place for himself.
