Chapter 117: Holding the Son of Heaven to Order the Princes

"Your Excellency seems to be very familiar with the seal of mountains and rivers." Wu Yan watched the former courtiers disappear in an instant, and there was not much turmoil on his face, he just frowned and looked at Lu Fengxian, this person not only got the seal of mountains and rivers, but more importantly, his use of luck was even stronger than his own.

Lu Bu waved his hand, motioned for his subordinates to come in and clean up the mess, turned his head to look at Wu Yan and said, "The minister will send His Majesty back to the palace." ”

"Let's go, I have something to ask the general for." Wu Yan nodded and said.

The situation in Wudu has been controlled by Lu Bu, and the rest of the things are naturally taken care of by the soldiers under his command, and the two got into a carriage and slowly walked towards the palace.

"Your Majesty's real surname should be Lu, right?" In the carriage, Wu Yan looked at Lu Bu and suddenly asked.

Mountains and rivers seal, in addition to the Dao Alliance, I am afraid that only Lu Xuan will use it, and only he can use it like this.

"I can only tell Your Majesty that Lu Xuan himself is now in the Tiandu and has not gone anywhere." Lu Bu silently mobilized his luck to cover his surroundings to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

Wu Yan looked at Lu Bu quietly, Lu Bu faced it calmly, for a long time, Wu Yan obviously gave up, looked out the window, and the old voice revealed a little loneliness: "You shouldn't kill these ministers, if they die, it will only set off the next round of crusade for the princes to join forces, and Your Excellency's foundation here is not firmly established." ”

"Isn't there a jade seal of the country, just as I gave it to the princes." Lu Bu didn't care about this, Sima Xian gave each other the mountain and river seal and the heirloom jade seal when he sent his son away, and Lu Bu took the mountain and river seal, and this heirloom jade seal was naturally in his hands.

"The jade seal of the country may not be as wonderful as the seal of mountains and rivers, but it represents the orthodoxy of Wuhan." Wu Yan nodded and said: "This trick is wonderful, and the lord of the four major lords is dead, the princes have no leader, if there is no external force, they may join forces against you, but if the mountains and rivers fall into the hands of the princes, the princes will be in chaos first." ”

For the master of power scheme, it is not difficult to understand this problem, as soon as Lu Bu said, Wu Yan understood, but the real problem in this matter is to let go of the jade seal of the country, this thing represents orthodoxy, no matter how good the mountain and river seal is, but in terms of legitimacy, the current mountain and river seal is not as good as the jade seal of the country.

This is equivalent to Lu Bu taking the initiative to give up part of the legitimacy of the imperial court in exchange for development time, which is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, it is easy to let go, and it is not easy to pass the level in his heart, and Lu Bu almost did not hesitate.

The next thing was simple, Lu Bu suddenly killed a group of backbones, and then a general found the jade seal of the country in the chaos, risked death and took it out of the city, and the news quickly spread among the princes.

Then the princes didn't care about the military capital, and forced the general who got the jade seal of the country to hand over the jade seal of the country.

The consequences of Lu Bu's direct killing of Ram Yi and others are also evident at this time, if there are the lords of the gate valves such as Ram Yi, it is easy to suppress the situation, but now that these pillars are dead, don't say that the princes, even if they are not the same heart within the family, the generals are also single, and after getting the jade seal of the country, they don't care about any martial arts, and they will run to their own territory with their own people and horses.

When the other princes attacked Wudu before, few of them were dedicated, and most of them did not contribute to the work, but now the goal has changed, and they have suddenly turned from sheep to wolves, and they all chase after each of them to avenge the head of the family or recapture the Wudu.

After Lu Bu occupied the military capital, he did not immediately ask the princes to pay tribute in the name of the Son of Heaven, which is unrealistic, just canonizing the princes, in fact, it is to legalize the princes' own territory and get the recognition of the imperial court.

Then Lu Bu put the death of those high-ranking officials on the head of the Sima family, anyway, the people of the Sima family are already dead, how to arrange it is not Lu Bu's final say?

For this, the princes who are now competing for the jade seal of the country do not care, Lu Bu is obviously very knowledgeable, the first thing after taking the throne is to divide the profits, and the principals of the four major gate valves are gone, for them, in fact, it is also good, even if there are many people here are the protégés of the four major gate valves, but being an official and being a prince are two mentality, since Lu Bu is sensible, the princes also tacitly helped Lu Bu round this lie.

first determined the legitimacy of Wu Yan, and then cleared himself of the crime of killing the lord, and then Lu Bu issued several decrees in the name of the imperial court, most of which were beneficial to the princes, and the others were also things that were insignificant in the eyes of the princes and were used to gain fame.

For example, tax reduction, and the construction of schools in various places, the reformulation of the scientific examination system, the prohibition of means of entering the official position other than the scientific examination, and all officials must go through the scientific examination to enter the office.

If this last one had been before, it would definitely have been criticized by the Shi clan gate lords, but now, Wu Han has become like this, and Lu Bu's policies only work for the territory under his control, who will care about this among the other mansion masters?

It's not that there are no smart people who see the problem in this, but the benefits thrown out by Lu Bu are enough to make most of the mansion owners shut up, and as for the few smart people, if they are really smart enough, they should know that the general trend has come true.

As for the clan gate lord forces under Lu Bu's rule, the seven southeastern mansions were first washed by Li Xiude, and then Lu Bu ploughed again, and he had long lost the power to resist, and the twelve mansions controlled by the Sima family Lu Bu were killed all the way, and the only ones who had some ability to express their dissatisfaction were the old scholar clan gate lords in Wudu.

It's a pity that the soldiers and horses of Wudu are controlled by Lu Bu, and the former leaders of the court were killed by Lu Bu, and it is difficult to form a whole for the rest of the time, like a plate of loose sand, the emperor has no jade seal to pass on the country, and the ability to mobilize Confucian youth is gone, and the new luck is in Lu Bu's hands.

The rules of the martial capital are under the control of Lu Bu, the military power is also in the hands of Lu Bu's henchmen, and the entire imperial court relies on Lu Bu in terms of financial power.

In the next three years, Wu Yan witnessed Lu Bu step by step to eliminate dissidents, cultivate henchmen, and continue to absorb talents through the imperial examination, in previous years, the imperial examination was once every three years, and in these three years, Lu Bu will open a branch every year, personally sit in the town, almost all of the new officials are from the nineteen mansions under Lu Bu, in the court, the familiar face is decreasing, and the sense of existence of Wu Yan is getting lower and lower.

But the power of Wudu's rules became more and more strict, and those Confucians who wanted to use Confucian youth to balance Lu Bu were a little dumbfounded.

Because now even if they want to condense their luck, they can't condense it without Lu Bu's permission, and in the third year, some great Confucians began to switch to Lu Bu's disciples.

Wu Yan watched Lu Bu completely empty her power step by step, she was like this back then, Lu Bu's power skills were not below her at all, and her ability in governance and military affairs was far beyond herself.

In just three years, not only Lu Bu's nineteen mansions, but even the people's livelihood in Wudu have risen several steps compared with the heyday in the past.

Just like what Lu Bu said when he discussed governing the country with Wu Yan, if everyone is a gate valve, then there is no gate valve, and now although it has not reached that point, it is indeed moving in that direction.

There are martial arts monuments in all prefectures and counties, and everyone can practice martial arts as long as they want, and the secret martial arts of the palace are regarded by Lu Bu as a cabbage, and the Ministry of Rites is urging the academies around the country to at least make the people in the territory literate.

In addition, there is also the innovation of farming technology and the innovation of various tools, Lu Bu has been like an otaku for three years, and he doesn't care about the disputes of the princes, but he is just thinking about improving the production of the people in the territory, at most, he canonizes some people under the command of the princes.

Therefore, now that Lu Bu is under the rule of these places, the people only know that Lu Bu does not know the martial arts, which is a chaotic era, but in this chaotic era, life has opened up a scene that can only be found in a prosperous era.

The three-year recuperation not only laid a solid foundation for himself, but also allowed the princes to let down their vigilance against Lu Bu.

However, with the stability of the foundation, Lu Bu also began to look at the princes of the world from the territory, at this time the princes of the world have gradually embarked on the road of annexation without the control of the imperial court, at this time, if they are allowed to develop freely, there may eventually be a strong separatist force.

And Lu Bu also noticed that the Dao Alliance here had begun to secretly intervene in the dispute between the princes, but when Li Xiude was fighting for the mountains and rivers seven years ago, the masters sent by the Dao League were wiped out by the mysterious people, which made the Dao Alliance masters quite vigilant, and in the process of interfering in the battle of the world, they were also more willing to use the means of combining vertical and horizontal means to help the selected princes grow.

Lu Bu's means are also simple, the same is vertical and horizontal, Wu Yan's son of heaven has been recognized by the world under the manipulation of Lu Bu in the past three years, and at this moment Lu Bu made a move, born with great righteousness.

Uniting the weak princes to fight the strong princes does not necessarily destroy the strong princes, but the weak side will definitely be taken back to the imperial court.

Daomeng made three shots in a row, and after losing eight fourth-grade people, he didn't dare to intervene rashly.

This time, the fear of the Dao Alliance was not like that of Kyushu at the beginning, so it took another three years, and among the one hundred and eight mansions of Wuhan, ninety-seven mansions were returned to the control of the imperial court, and only eleven mansions remained.

The remaining eleven mansions will either surrender or be exterminated, which is a matter of good choice, but these eleven mansions are still struggling like the original Xie family.

Kyushu, Tiandu.

"Your Majesty, everyone is here!" Yan Danfeng, Yang Ao, Zhang Yuanrou, Huo Zhan, Mu Feixue, Chang Hao, Chiyangzi and other top masters of the Ming Dynasty gathered together.

They were suddenly summoned by Lu Xuan, and they were a little unclear about what Lu Xuan had done when he gathered the masters of the Ming Dynasty.

"Senior sister, are you ready?" Lu Xuan looked at Zhang Yuanrou and asked with a smile.

"Well, the direction should be about the same, as long as it is within the range of His Majesty's luck, use this kind of array to lay out the formation, and then shroud it with luck, you can pass it through this luck teleportation array." Zhang Yuanrou nodded.

"This time I summoned you to come here to crusade against a force, the other party also has its own luck mobilization, I will seal its luck with the seal of mountains and rivers, and the rest of the things will be taken by you, remember, the third and fourth grade masters, no one will be left!" Lu Xuan looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Although everyone didn't know who Lu Xuan's target was, when they heard that there was a third-grade master, their expressions were much more solemn.

"Let's go!" With Lu Xuan's order, everyone stepped on the teleportation array prepared by Zhang Yuanrou one after another, and the surrounding spirit stones began to glow, and the next moment, everyone's figures disappeared into the main hall......
