Chapter 442: Stability
A month after Fusu's death, in the east city of Chang'an, a mansion covering an area of more than 20 acres, Lin Ze stood in the air, watching a group of subordinates he brought to besiege and kill the people in the mansion.
This mansion is one of the many strongholds that Fusu secretly set up in Chang'an, usually hidden in the eastern city, not inconspicuous, but there are nearly fifty martial arts cultivators living here, including four six-grade martial artists.
Half an hour later, Lin Ze personally shot a pair of fours and killed the four six-rank martial artists, announcing the end of this slaughter.
What is interesting is that this news was originally provided by a small force under Fusu, which was originally specially provided with food and other materials for this house, and after Fusu's death, he immediately switched to Hu Hai, and sold the original old club without any psychological pressure to be promoted.
Speaking of which, this is not the first time Lin Ze has seen this situation, to be honest, thanks to the fact that there are many such people under Fusu, Lin Ze was able to clean up the remaining forces of Fusu within a month.
With the informant of the traitor and the cooperation between the inside and the outside, Lin Ze can arrange his subordinates to encircle and suppress it every time, and successfully clean up the die-hard elements of Fusu at a very small cost.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the secret support of Li Si and Zhao Gao, especially Zhao Gao, who almost turned a blind eye to Lin Ze's private transfer of the black guards.
Lin Ze could more or less guess that they were calculating themselves, but this kind of calculation that was obviously beneficial to him in the early stage, Lin Ze couldn't ask for it.
As for whether it will be difficult in the later stage, Lin Ze is not very worried, if he has enough strength, he will naturally be able to eat the bait without taking the bait, and he will not have to be afraid of other means. If your own strength is not enough, even if you don't take the bait, what can you do, and people can't still drain the water for you?
In the final analysis, it is still relying on strength to speak.
Those forces who took refuge in Hu Hai also became the winners in this turmoil, and with the acquiescence of many parties, after the Fusu forces were cleared, they divided most of the official positions and industries left behind, and enjoyed the fruits of this victory as they wished, of course, a small part of the essence fell into the hands of Lin Ze.
After the Fusu forces were cleared, Chang'an City quickly gradually tended to be stable from turmoil, and as for whether there was an undercurrent surging, it was not something that ordinary people could see.
......
Lin Mansion, Lin Ze was seriously refining his sword skills, and a waiter came in to report: "Military advisor, someone outside asked to see him, saying that someone in the north sent documents and gifts to Gongzi, Gongzi took a look at it, and was not very interested, so let them bring it over and hand it over to you, saying that everything is handled at your discretion." ”
Lin Ze could probably guess what was going on, a month ago, he sent someone to send a letter to Meng Tian in the name of Hu Hai, and now it seems that there is a result, just by the fact that the other party sent someone to send a gift, it seems that the result should not be much different from what he wants to achieve.
Lin Ze put away the exquisite long knife in his hand that was specially asked to Shaofu and made of extraterrestrial meteorites, and said slowly: "Let people send it in." ”
The waiter left, and then the five boxes were carried in by several guards and placed in front of Lin Ze, along with a document sent over by the box.
Lin Ze opened the document and read it cursoryly, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, this document was not written by Meng Tian, but a joint letter written by a group of senior generals of the Northland Army.
The document clearly describes what happened in the north recently, the north army has been ordered by the prince of Hu Hai to kill all the rebels, and sent the heads over, and then the document showed some loyalty, and at the end even hinted at whether it was necessary to rearrange someone to be the governor of the north.
Lin Ze ordered to the guards in front of him, "Open the box." ”
After the guard received the order, he immediately pried open the sealed boxes, three of which were full of pickled human heads, and if you looked closely, you could vaguely distinguish the appearance.
The other two chests contained some rare treasures from the Northlands.
"Carry the head to Wu Fan, let him bring someone to verify his identity, and carry these two boxes of earth treasures to my room," Lin Ze quickly made a decision.
"Besides, the messenger from the Northland is still there? This army division wants to ask him about the situation in the Northland. ”
The captain of the guard at the head responded: "Back to the military division, the messengers of the Northland Army are settling in the southern city, and the subordinates will immediately send someone to invite them over." ”
Then under the order of the captain of the guard, the guards made a move, one went to deliver the message, the two carried the box containing the treasure to the courtyard where Lin Ze lived, and the six people carried the box with the head to the courtyard where Wu Fan lived.
After Fusu's death, the situation in Chang'an gradually stabilized, and Chen Ping, Wu Fan and others were naturally transferred back from Shu by Lin Ze.
Nancheng, Qi Ming, the leader of the messengers of the Northland Army, was walking around the inn in a distraught manner, he came to Chang'an this time, but he came with an important mission, and he was also pinned on great hopes by many senior officers.
However, what made Qi Ming anxious was that he was sent out without even seeing Hu Hai's face, and he was not even satisfied with the gift that Hu Hai brought over and carefully prepared by the Beidi Army.
Qi Ming couldn't imagine how he should go back and explain to the uncles of the Northland Army.
Until there was a knock on the door, someone shouted outside: "The messenger of the Northland Army is here? ”
Qi Ming opened the door and saw that the people in front of him were dressed the same as the people who had received his gifts before, and immediately arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, but you are a subordinate of Prince Huhai?"
The guard said arrogantly: "I am the disciple of Prince Hu Hai, and you are a messenger sent by the Northland Army?"
Qi Ming hurriedly replied: "It's right down there." ”
The guard nodded and said, "That's right, come with me, the military advisor wants to see you." ”
Qi Ming asked with a confused look on his face, "This lord, dare to ask who the military advisor is?"
Qi Ming's sentence of "adult" made the guards extremely useful, and he showed an extremely bright smile and said: "I'll just run errands, which kind of adult, the military advisor is the real adult, usually the son is not there, everything is the responsibility of the military advisor, this time I heard that you are coming, the son has no time to deal with it, so he lost it to the military advisor." ”
"The military advisor just accepted the gift you sent, so don't you let me inform you to meet him?"
Qi Ming listened and secretly contemplated, so to speak, this so-called military advisor is the confidant of Hu Hai Gongzi?
Before leaving, his father and uncles specially explained that they wanted to please the son of Hu Hai no matter what, so that he would no longer pursue the past between the Beidi Army and Fusu. Otherwise, after some purging, I am afraid that the Northland Army will be greatly damaged.
Now that I can't see Hu Hai, it should be similar to please his henchmen.
Thinking of this, Qi Ming arched his hand to the guards and said, "Lord Trouble will lead the way in front." ”
The guard was overjoyed by Qi Ming's "adult", and pretended not to care and replied: "You're welcome, come with me." ”
Qi Ming followed the guards all the way to the Lin Mansion, and was finally taken to a courtyard, and in the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, there was a young man tasting tea.
I saw the guard saluting at the young man and said, "Qiqi military division, someone has already brought it over." ”
After hearing this, Qi Ming couldn't help but look at the young man a few more times, this is Hu Hai's henchman? Except for being a little younger, it doesn't seem to be surprising.
Lin Ze glanced up at the middle-aged man with a curious face, and asked, "You are from the Northland, what is the current situation of the Northland Army?"
Qi Ming hurriedly replied: "Lord Hui, little Qi Ming, it is the messenger who came from the north to deliver gifts and documents to Prince Hu Hai on the orders of the generals. At present, the situation of the Northland Army is good, and it is stable, guarding the stability of the north for the imperial court. ”
Lin Ze waved his hand and said, "There is no need to say these official words, just tell me what Meng Tian's situation is now." ”
Qi Ming coughed lightly and said, "Lord Hui, Lord Hou is doing well, thank you for your concern?"
Lin Ze said undeniably: "What I ask is, is he dead or is he under house arrest by you?"
Qi Ming was speechless on the spot, his face was a little unnatural, and he whispered after a long time: "Master Hou was confused by the traitor, and almost committed a foolish thing, and now he is confined to the camp tent and is not allowed to go out easily. ”
Lin Ze nodded and said, "So, you have already controlled the situation of the Northland Army?"
Qi Ming nodded violently, and said: "Lord Hui, all the troublemakers have been dealt with, please rest assured, the Northland Army is absolutely loyal to the imperial court and to Prince Huhai." ”
Lin Ze smiled undeniably, and then asked about some other information.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Zefang spoke: "It's okay, I already know your intentions, Gongzi Huhai has granted me full authority to deal with the matter of the Northland Army, since you are so knowledgeable, this seat will talk about the disposition of the Northland Army on behalf of Gongzi Huhai." ”
"First, although Meng Tian was impulsive, he did not cause harm, and still retained his position as the governor of the Northern Governor's Mansion, I don't care what your internal situation is, but I clearly tell you, Meng Tian can't die. ”
"Second, none of the other suspected rebels in the Northland Army can be let go. ”
"Third, the generals of the Northland Army have made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, and they will be rewarded after the succession of Prince Huhai. ”
"Are you satisfied with this?"
Qi Ming was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, my lord." In Qi Ming's opinion, this trip to Chang'an is simply perfect, and people will no longer even pursue Meng Tian, so naturally it will not affect his father and uncles who abandoned the darkness and turned to the Ming.
Lin Ze waved his hand indifferently: "Stand down." ”
Lin Ze saved Meng Tian's life in order to balance the group of veterans of the Northland Army, and it was not a good thing for the border army to be dominant.
Although Meng Tian made some mistakes and was put under house arrest, the Meng family has been guarding the north for many years, and naturally there are countless people loyal to the Meng family, giving Meng Tian more time, he can naturally fight with the veteran.
That group of veterans was under pressure and would not put Meng Tian under house arrest for a long time, but in order to prevent Meng Tian from retaliating, they would naturally find ways to resist Meng Tian.
So far, Chang'an and the Quartet are stable.
