Chapter 138: Success (Happy New Year)

"Zhong Gong! Wu has already started to rebuild the lake field!! ”

The scout panted and saluted Zhong Hui, and said breathlessly.

At this moment, Zhong Hui finally raised his head and laughed wildly.

Although Chung is quite confident in himself, he is not sure that he will succeed, and sometimes, an unexpected thing can ruin all his plans.

Hearing that the emperor of Wu had begun to rebuild the project, Zhong Hui finally stopped worrying.

Although Zhong Hui's plan is far more than that, but if he has reached the basic goal, then he can continue to brag and show off with confidence, without worrying about overturning.

He picked up the paperwork handed by the scout and examined it carefully.

The more I looked, the more satisfied I became.

Not bad, not bad.

He likes people like Sun Xiu who are more honest in details, and such people are prone to make self-righteous judgments because of their keen observation.

The more others object, the more dissatisfied he will feel.

Although Zhong Hui had never seen this Sun Xiu, Zhong Hui had studied him from all aspects of his governance and affairs, and he was already extremely familiar with him, probably more familiar than those favored ministers around him!

Now that Sun Xiu has ordered this matter to be handled, then Lu Kang will not be able to sit still.

Zhong Hui slowly looked south, his eyes full of disdain.

You still want to fight me?

You're not even as good as Zhang Hua!

At the same time, "Zhang Hua in Wu Fenhua" was sitting in the carriage and rushed to Jianye again.

Lu Kang frowned, his mood was really bad, there were a lot of things to do on the front line, and he was too busy to get out, and as a result, this temple was constantly dragging him back.

He, the front-line governor, always runs to Jianye, what kind of system is this?

But Lu Kang had to come again.

Originally, he had already told the emperor last time, but who would have thought that it was just a letter, and the emperor would directly change his mind and rebuild the lake field.

Lu Kang was distraught.

Now the situation between Wu and Wei on the front line is in the midst of a pull, the emperor's order came down, and directly let Lu Kang's pacification work for nearly half a year be in vain, and four county orders directly led the officials and people to Wei, and no one in the entire county was opposed.

They have been tossed too badly by Hutian, and Hutian is not just the people.

The officials were responsible for transporting these people, the soldiers had to go into battle to repair, and the merchants had to donate money and grain, and this policy was all the middle and lower classes.

Those who are not taken to heart by the noble lords.

If you think about it carefully, Wu's policy is almost the opposite of Wei's, and Wei is constantly improving the welfare of these middle and lower classes, reducing their exploitation, and preferring to collect less taxes and spend more.

Wu Guo, on the other hand, is intensifying the exploitation of them to complete the increase in income, only caring about the top and ignoring the bottom.

Lu Kang is trying to cover up this order on the front line at the moment, because this order will directly disintegrate the fighting spirit of the soldiers and ignite the anger of the low-level officials, farmers, and merchants.

If he didn't come to Jianye again, Lu Kang would have to worry that his soldiers would arrest him and send him to Luoyang overnight!

I'm on the front line to defend against Cao Wei, and I have to worry about backstabbing!

Lu Kang has never been so powerless.

When he came to Jianye, the person who came to greet him was the person he didn't want to see, Pu Yangxing.

I don't know what kind of idea Sun Xiu had in order to let Puyang Xing come to meet Lu Kang.

Lu Kang saw that this person was full of villainous appearance, and he didn't want to look at him more, for Lu Kang, looking at him more was disrespectful to his eyes.

Puyang Xing didn't dare to make a big deal in front of Lu Kang.

Although he is becoming more and more favored now, no one dares to provoke a governor with a heavy army, otherwise something will happen because of this, then Pu Yangxing will be the end of Chao Wrong, and it may not be as good as Chao Wrong.

Pu Yangxing took Lu Kang to the palace.

Sun Xiu was reading a book at the moment, his face was even paler than the last time they met, and he could even clearly see the bloodshots, his whole person was really thin to the extreme, there was no flesh on his face, and he was sunken in.

It looks like overindulgence.

But the way he fell was not because of indulgence, but because of coughing, the continuous cough kept him awake at night, and he couldn't eat food, he really couldn't bear such torture, and often shouted the Taiyi Order, which stood at the door all day long, not daring to leave.

When Lu Kang appeared in front of the emperor, Sun Xiu finally put down the book in his hand, he glanced at Lu Kang, and then asked both of them to sit down.

Lu Kang didn't mean to greet at all, and he didn't even hide it.

"Your Majesty, please remove the official position of the minister and let Puyang Xing take the position."

Sun Xiu suddenly frowned.

Lu Kang's words are indeed easy to misunderstand, and there is a feeling of self-respect.

Sun Xiu said coldly: "General Lu, what do you mean by this?" ”

"The minister really doesn't dare to continue to stay in Jingnan, His Majesty wants to build Hutian, the front-line soldiers are extremely resistant to this, there has been a rebellion in four counties, and the soldiers often make trouble, the minister is worried that if it goes on like this, the minister will be arrested by them and sent to the Wei camp!"

Pu Yangxing couldn't hold back any longer, "Bold Lu Resistance!" Are you intimidating Your Majesty?! ”

"Your Majesty! Lu Kang is bold! Please punish Your Majesty! ”

Lu Kang's face was calm and not afraid.

He is not Lu Xun, and Sun Xiu is not Sun Quan.

Sun Xiu took a deep breath before he said, "General Lu, I have pardoned your offense several times, and I didn't ask the general whether I had to punish him severely?" ”

Lu Kang also understood that his tone was a little too heavy, he eased his emotions for a while, and then said, "Your Majesty, the minister is rude." ”

Lu Kang said helplessly: "Your Majesty, but the consequences of this incident really cannot be underestimated This is a letter written by Zhong Hui to the minister. ”

Lu Kang was originally reluctant to send this letter to Sun Xiu.

Because he was worried that this would cause unnecessary trouble, Zhong Hui would be difficult to deal with, and Lu Kang was afraid that he would set up some conspiracy.

But now, Lu Kang still had to take the letter to Sun Xiu to read, he wanted to make the emperor sober up.

Sun Xiu picked up the letter with some surprise and read it carefully.

After watching it a few times, Sun Xiu felt a little weird.

Although the words, allusions, and even tone were very similar, he could be sure that the letter in his hand was definitely not written by the same person as the letter he had received.

Everyone will have their own habits and style when writing articles, and even if the name of this kind of thing is covered, you can still find clues if you look closely.

For example, there will be some idiomatic words, and there will be some idiomatic habits.

The letter that Lu Kang handed over to him was already trying his best to imitate the style of the first letter, but Sun Xiu could still see the subtle difference.

Sun Xiu asked quietly, "What about his original?" ”

Lu Kang was stunned for a moment, "The minister has already sent it back." ”

Sun Xiu immediately put the letter aside, and his eyes looked at Lu Kang a little wrong.

"General, as a foreign general, it is best not to interfere in the government affairs of the court, the temple has a customary order, and foreign generals are not allowed to participate in politics, besides, I have never given an order, you will return to Jianye several times without permission, if these things have to be discussed, I am afraid that the general will be punished."

"I value the general, and I don't want to do such a thing, so the general should return to Jingzhou as soon as possible."

"If there are thieves who defect and soldiers mutiny, what the general should do is not to come to Jianye to accuse me, but to go to the front line to quell the rebellion and punish the mutiny!"

"These people don't even know the etiquette of kings and ministers, and the shameless and immoral villain was actually bought by Cao thieves, is this because of the policy?"

"The general is ready to go!"

Sun Xiu didn't even give Lu Kang a chance to defend himself, and directly asked Pu Yangxing to send him out.

Lu Kang was confused, why did the emperor have such a change in attitude just after a few glances?

When he was sent out, Lu Kang seemed to realize something, he hurriedly took out the letter that the emperor ordered to be sent to various places, he put the two letters together and read them, and then, Lu Kang was furious.

"What a Zhong Shiji, these two letters are written by two people!!"

Lu Kang reacted at this time, but obviously, it was a little late at the moment.

No matter how much displeasure he had, he could only hide these in his heart, he did not leave Jianye according to Sun Xiu's words, but went directly to Shi Ji's mansion.

When he came here, Shi Ji's mansion seemed a little bleak, and there were no people coming.

Knowing that Lu Kang was coming, Shi Fang was very happy and pulled him to the inner room to meet Shi Ji.

Shi Ji sat on the top seat, looked at Lu Kang who came to visit, and also got up and saluted.

"The general's matter in the lake field has a great impact"

When Lu Kang opened his mouth to talk about government affairs, he was surprised to find that the old general did not have the slightest fighting spirit in his eyes, he just sat there, listening to himself, and he couldn't lift a little spirit from top to bottom.

Lu Kang stopped as he spoke.

"General, what's going on?"

Shi Ji woke up in shock, and then looked at him, "It's okay, it's okay, you go on"

Lu Kang didn't say anything at the moment, he hesitated and asked, "What happened to your earlier statement that you would gather shipwrights to motivate them to design new ships?" ”

"It didn't work."

If Cao Chao was here, he would definitely be able to see that Shi Shi at this moment had a little bit of the feeling that Pei Xiu had in the past, it was just one word, pendulum.

Lu Kang told him about other things, and Shi Ji also had this attitude, until in the end, Lu Kang chose to leave here, and Shi Ji also sent him to the door with a smile.

Looking at Shi Ji, who was motionless in the distance, Lu Kang sighed.

He knew that the general was dead.

Even if his body was alive, his heart was completely dead, just like his brother.

Lu Kang also has an indescribable sense of powerlessness at the moment, he doesn't know how long he can resist, but he will not leave like his clan brother, nor will he give up like Shi Ji.

He will fight until the moment he dies of exhaustion.
