Chapter 115: Salary Draw
"My lord, this is a letter and an order from Wudu." In Linjiang Mansion, a strategist handed it to Lu Bu with a letterhead and an order.
"Xue Qing sent it?" Lu Bu didn't read the letter, but asked after reading the order.
"Exactly." The strategist nodded and said: "My lord, now that I have just gained a foothold in the southeast, if I transfer away at this moment, I am afraid that the previous painstaking management will come to naught, but if I don't leave, it will be disobedience." β
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Is there a way to crack it?" β
"Yes." The strategist said in a deep voice: "Xue Qing is now relying on the favor of the Son of Heaven, cholera is beyond the program, and the people in the world have been dissatisfied for a long time, if the lord draws a line with him at this time, he will be praised by the people of the world." β
Lu Bu nodded and said: "It's also a way, but after all, it's disobedience and disrespect, you have someone to send this letter and the order to the Hubu Shangshu Ram Yi, just take this as my name, remember, in this game of chess in the world, don't always think about fighting alone, you have to be good at finding friends." β
"Yes." The strategist hurriedly bowed.
"Go for it." Lu Bu waved his hand.
"Humble resignation." The counsellor bowed away with the decree and the letter.
Lu Bu wrote a letter and summoned Chen Chongzhi: "You go to Wudu and try to give this letter to Xue Qing, remember, you can't let anyone know that I sent him a letter." β
"Yes!" Chen Chongzhi nodded, he is a physiognomy master, although he is not good at fighting, it is not difficult to hide his tracks.
A few days later, the Ministry of Officials rejected LΓΌ Bu's appointment and sent him for appointment, LΓΌ Bu had outstanding political achievements, led the military governor of the seven southeastern prefectures, and controlled the land of the seven prefectures.
In the palace, Xue Qing frowned and looked at the letter sent by Lu Bu, and a flash of fear flashed in his eyes: "The old lady is not dead!?" Sima Xian's old thing, why don't you kill it!? β
He took out a jade seal from his arms, it was Wu Han's heirloom jade seal, originally, he wanted to wait for Wu Yan's death, transition for a period of time, and then let the puppet give the emperor to himself, and then ask Sima Xianqiang for the mountain and river seal, but after actually starting to control the power, he found that things were not as simple as he thought, many things, the courtiers did not agree, let alone fake Wu Yan, even if the real Wu Yan had this idea, it could not be implemented!
At the same time, the fact that Lu Bu's appointment was rejected by the Ministry of Officials also made Xue Qing a little puzzled, Lu Bu came over directly, what do you care about the Ministry of Officials!? Isn't what you wrote in your letter clear enough? Or is he really not afraid that he will make his secret public, he is not a Linjiang Lu clan, as long as it is announced, he doesn't believe that it really has no impact at all.
On the other side, outside the city of Wudu, there is a village belonging to the Sima family, which is the place where Sima Xian put Wu Yan under house arrest.
The place where Wu Yan was imprisoned was a very ordinary manor, naturally not as good as the palace, but Sima Xian did not snub Wu Yan, clothing, food, housing and transportation are the best standards, except for no freedom of movement, Wu Yan's life is not bad.
Looking at the rolling blue sky in the sky, Wu Yan sighed, during this time, she looked back on her life more than once, when she was a teenager, she was elected to the palace because of her outstanding appearance, married an old man, not long after, the old man died, and he became his son's woman again, and then he took power, and balanced with hundreds of officials to become the emperor, this life can be said to be walking on thin ice, but in the end it is still this ending, now I think about it, it makes people sigh.
"In the past, a physiognomist told me that Your Majesty has a bad life in old age, and now it seems that it has come true." A sudden voice pulled Wu Yan back to reality from her memories.
Wu Yan turned his head to look, it was a strange man, he looked like a man with a high appearance, and frowned: "Sima Aiqing took control of the government so quickly? β
It is impossible for outsiders to appear here, and people will appear, I think it is the time that Sima Xian said, but this is too fast.
In Wu Yan's calculations, Sima Xian will need at least a year to deploy, and then when he will seize power, is it too anxious to be so fast?
"Probably not." The person who came was Lu Bu, who sat aside casually, looked at Wu Yan and said with a smile: "I am here to pick up Your Majesty to another place." β
Wu Yan found that the maidservant girl in the distance had been in one movement for a long time, and she didn't move, so she turned her head and looked at Lu Bu: "You are not Sima Aiqing's person?" β
"It doesn't count." Lu Bu shook his head.
"Do I have a choice?" Wu Yan asked rhetorically.
"Yes." Lu Bu nodded: "I don't have the habit of being a strong man, if Your Majesty chooses to stay, there is a high probability that Master Sima will get Your Majesty's corpse." β
"Your Excellency can appear here silently, thinking that your skills are not bad, you should understand the backlash of killing the king." Wu Yan looked at Lu Fengxian.
"You don't have to do it yourself." Lu Bu shook his head: "And even if I kill you, I won't be counterattacked!" β
He is the king of a country, he and Wu Yan made a move, it was a king to a king, it was a collision of luck between two countries, Wu Yan died, it can only prove that he won the battle of luck.
"Who are you?" Wu Yan frowned and looked at Lu Bu.
"Here, my name is Lu Bu." Lu Bu said with a smile.
Wu Yan looked at him for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "It seems that I have some impressions, although I am old, I don't want to die sideways." β
"Understood." Lu Bu nodded with a smile, waved his hand, and a soft breath rolled up Wu Yan, and immediately followed Wu Yan to see the rapid changes in the world in front of him, but in a moment, he appeared in Lu Bu's mansion in Linjiang Mansion.
"Sipin!? People in the Dao League? Wu Yan was a little surprised this time.
In the territory of Daqian, except for the Dao League, there are no other four products, and it is impossible for the four products to appear, but why does the Dao League appear in this way? For the mountains and rivers?
"It's not." Lu Bu shook his head.
"Who is Your Excellency?" Wu Yan frowned and looked at Lu Bu.
"With Your Majesty's lifespan, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the day when the truth will be revealed." Lu Bu sat down and said, "Your Majesty has been wronged for a while, stay here, and you should be able to return to Wudu soon." β
Wu Yan muttered: "Sima Xian found out that I had disappeared, I am afraid that he will launch a coup d'Γ©tat in advance, in this way, it will be hasty, either the forces of all parties cannot be coordinated, or they will have to pay a great price in exchange for the support of all forces, since Your Excellency has brought me here, I don't think Sima Xian will be able to take power smoothly." β
Lu Bu glanced at Wu Yan, nodded and praised: "Your Majesty's scheming skills are indeed not bad, and the trust is not human, probably related to the ups and downs of Your Majesty's life, Your Majesty seems to be very eager to be loved." β
"What woman doesn't crave?" Wu Yan sighed.
"Generally, after one or two emotional wounds, I see through it, this kind of thing, it is difficult to be eternal, and you need to constantly invest energy to nourish it." Lu Bu invited Wu Yan into the inner hall, and it was rare to meet an emperor who could sit down and chat, and he also wanted to talk to the other party about this experience in governing the country.
"Haven't I paid enough?" Wu Yan looked at Lu Bu and said, "Your Excellency, don't say everything, this will nourish evil." β
"It's not a question of whether it's enough, but from the beginning, this relationship is not the kind Your Majesty wants, he is like a dog raised by His Majesty, he needs to keep wagging his tail and begging for mercy to get His Majesty's reward, if it's just a pet, the end of this relationship is Your Majesty's return to the West or loss of power, but Your Majesty gave him another way, a way to make him a human, you can't blame people for turning their faces, the eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and live under people for a long time?"
"What do I want?" Wu Yan asked rhetorically, she was also a little dazed at the moment.
"If Your Majesty did not enter the palace back then, but married a well-connected person, if the other party is not bad in appearance and character, he can probably live the kind of life that His Majesty wants, when he is young, the husband and wife are in love, and when the husband is at a low point, His Majesty will never abandon each other, and when the husband is Tengda, he will not forget the wife of the chaff, support each other, and grow old together." Lu Bu sighed with emotion: "I think most girls have such a longing in their hearts, but it's a pity that sometimes beauty is really not a blessing for women, and from the moment Your Majesty enters the palace, it is destined to be impossible to encounter this kind of feeling." β
"Why?" Wu Yan frowned.
"The first emperor was too old to accompany His Majesty for a few years, and the later ones couldn't get over it anyway, and there were too many temptations around the emperor, a woman's eighteen years old was only one year, but every year there were eighteen-year-old women." Lu Bu sighed with emotion and said: "Don't talk about this, I invite Your Majesty to come here to live, and I also have the heart to ask Your Majesty about how to govern the country. β
Wu Yan sighed, in fact, she wanted to talk more about the love of her children, and after fighting all her life, she was already tired.
However, Lu Bu obviously didn't care about her feelings, and for the next period of time, Lu Bu would come to her almost every day to talk about governing the country.
How to check and balance the gate valve, how to enhance the national strength, how to weigh the internal forces, and how to play the game with the external forces.
Wu Yan gradually found that this man who called himself Lu Bu did not look like an ambitious traitor, he had a very high vision in governing the country, and often considered the problems of a century-old plan, and the attitude towards the Shi clan gate valve was not blindly suppressed, but wanted to lower the threshold of the Shi clan gate valve, when everyone was a Shi clan gate valve, there would be no difference between the Shi clan gate valve and the ordinary poor people, and how to smooth out the contradictions between politics and religion, so that both of them could play an active role instead of consuming each other.
"Who is Your Excellency!?" A month later, Wu Yan finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart, Lu Bu's identity is by no means as simple as it seems, some questions are not something that can be thought of if you are talented, not in your position, you don't even know what you see in that position, what to think?
"Heavy?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.
Not heavy either?
Wu Yan doesn't understand the other party's informal personality, and many things start from the details.
"Lord!" The strategist hurriedly came in and interrupted the conversation between the two: "The Wudu coup has begun!" β
"Command the ministries to prepare for war!" Lu Bu bowed.
"Yes!"
