Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 431
The originally dull days were a little depressed because of this incident.

Shen Zhezi was not surprised that such a thing happened.When he returned to the capital, he also made big moves frequently, and once people do practical things, it is inevitable that they will violate the interests of some people, or give them a reason to criticize themselves.

For example, Wang Dao, since his journey to the south, has made great achievements in prosperity and destruction, but after the fall of Wang Dun and his family lost its military power, they gradually became indifferent, just to avoid those overt and secret attacks.

But Shen Zhezi is in full bloom, and many ideas have to be implemented. Naturally, it is impossible to imitate Wang Dao's style of handling things. Therefore, whether it is a similar conspiracy or an open fight, in fact, he has made sufficient psychological preparations.

What purpose do ordinary people have to put into conspiracy, personal morality is second, and the main reason is lack of strength.Just like Shen Zhezi before, he could only stay low in front of the big bosses, and even if he wanted to fight for something, he could only fight in secret. Once the method was too rough, it would lead to an unbearable and fierce counterattack.

In the evening, Ren Qiu came back, and with him were several representatives of Wuzhong Township, as well as Lu Yong, who is currently working in the Guarding Army Mansion.

Those villagers in Wuzhong stated repeatedly that they did not instigate this incident, and they even didn't even know who Xue Gu was.Regarding this, Shen Zhezi no longer doubted or delved into it. On the one hand, these people did not have such a sensitive channel of information. On the other hand, they were neighbors in the county and their interests were too deep. Naturally, there must be a certain degree of trust.

Having said that, even if they were really the ones who did it, Shen Zhezi can only help to clear up the relationship right now.He himself has no friendship with that Xue Gu, and there is no need for a strong man to cut off his arms for the sake of justice.Therefore, he just told these people to restrain their close ones in the capital, it is best to stay out of the matter, and never force themselves to stand out.

Those people knew that the situation was serious, and they repeatedly promised that there would be no mistakes during this season, and then they couldn't help but asked worriedly whether any adjustments needed to be made in the fortifications.

"That's not necessary at all. Building new buildings is the top priority right now. Don't delay the fortifications, and don't slack in the collection and transportation of materials."

After warning everyone, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but comfort him: "After all, this is just a trivial matter, and it has nothing to do with us. If anyone dares to come forward and slander, they are asking for trouble."

The most important thing right now is not the truth, but to ensure that one's own side does not get confused.These families in Wuzhong all followed the lead of the Shen family. If Shen Zhezi acted as if he was facing an enemy and was in chaos, it would make them lose confidence and be afraid to invest in the capital, which would affect the entire fortification.

"You don't have to worry, the troubles in the world are nothing more than military disasters. Even if there were military disasters, who would we Wu people be afraid of! I waited for Bi Ji to gather resources and manpower to supervise the construction of a new city for the imperial court. I'm inferior to the princes in Taichung! Who in Jiangdong in the future will talk about it, it started here, how can it be bound by sneaky tricks!"

Speaking of this, Shen Zhezi smiled confidently, and said: "Recently, there is something that I planned to tell you when there is a meeting in a few days. But since I have arrived home today, I will tell you. The envoy of Wu Xingyu will ask Return to the capital, go out to guard the military mansion, and supervise the defense of Stone City."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed.Yu Tan is a big figure in their position second only to Shen Chong, the governor of East Yangzhou, and even surpasses Shen Chong in terms of qualifications and reputation. He has been in charge of Wu Xing for many years, and has no lack of contact with people like them.

These people left their hometowns to go to Gyeonggi to build a large-scale construction, and their wealth was collected and transported here. It would be a lie to say that they are not worried.Because of the lack of security, even the slightest sign of trouble can't help but panic.Today I came to see Shen Zhezi, apart from proving my innocence, I also wanted to get some comfort from Shen Zhezi, and I got what they wanted, even far better than expected!
If Yu Tan served as the Central Guard Army, he would have mastered the military power in the capital, so their personal and property safety could be guaranteed to the greatest extent.These Wu people will be more confident in Jiankang!

In order to win this position for Yu Tan, Shen Zhezi has also paid a lot recently.Because Wang Dao and Wen Qiao didn't want Taichung to rise again, and they didn't want to hand over the military power to Yu Tan, so they had to find help from other places.

The first thing he found was the Lu family of Wu County. Lu Ye was old and was gradually neglected. Lu Wan is now an official residence.If Yu Tan was to be the servant, it was very likely that he would be replaced, because the other servant, Dai Miao, had always been close to the Wang family.The relationship between Lu Wan and Director Wang is not good, so naturally he will not support Director Wang's opinion.

In order to persuade the Lu family to support Yu Tan in taking charge of the army, Shen Zhezi also took great pains.After going back and forth many times and negotiating, a consensus was reached.

But it was only the support of the Lu family, and there was only a little echo in Taichung.It was Xi Jian who really made the decisive opinion.Taking advantage of the marriage between the Xi family and the Yu family, part of the benefits of the Beijing government were transferred, and finally Xi Jian's support was obtained.

In this way, there were people in Taichung who supported him, and Fangzhen in the east also supported him, so Yu Tan finally decided to serve as the Central Guard.

The Army Guard is in charge of Suwei and is responsible for the defense of the entire Gyeonggi Province. His duties are very important.Shen Zhezi can breathe a sigh of relief when Yu Tan returns to the capital to sit in town.

After hearing the news, the townspeople in Wuzhong were very calm, and once again assured that they would be serious and cautious, neither causing trouble nor delaying the construction period.

After appeasing the villagers, Shen Zhezi looked at Lu Yong again.

To be honest, Lu Yong's current situation is a bit embarrassing, and he has not found a suitable position.

Shen Zhezi accepted quite a few descendants, for example, Han Huang, whom he really admired, is now his most confidant force, guarding the only real feudal state in the imperial court on his behalf.A young man like Tian Jing, who was not well-known but not low in ability, was recruited later, and he had already been brought into the mansion by him as a disciple.

As for Kuang Shu, who surrendered at the same time as Lu Yong, he had already been transferred to Wu Xing to serve as a county magistrate, and his family was settled in Wu Xing, which completely separated from his predecessor's experience as a refugee commander and truly attached to the Shen family.His brother Kuang Xiao also gave up his military power, handed over the army to Xu Mao, and became a rich man in Wuxing with peace of mind.

For the refugee commanders who were born in poor families and were in poverty in the army, although this kind of life lacked passion, it had to be said that it was a good and peaceful home.

But Lu Yong is different from others. On the one hand, his troops are not weak, on the other hand, he still has ambitions, and he is not willing to give up his military position and his troops.Firstly, it was due to his personality, secondly, he had no other special talents other than the military, and thirdly, he himself was not at ease to completely take care of Shen's family, after all, he was rebellious, betrayed twice a day, and had many bad deeds.

Although Shen Zhezi was willing to accept these Liyang descendants and let them make the best use of them, he did not have a bottom line.The rebellion had just been put down, and it was impossible for him to directly use these descendants to lead the army.

What's more, ability and morality have never been directly proportional. In the original history, the power of Wang's Fangzhen was getting weaker and weaker. After Lu Yong took refuge in Wang Dao, he was also reused many times, and was finally promoted to be the governor of Yuzhou.But because Wang Dao and other big bosses passed away, his successors gradually lost control over Lu Yong, and finally Lu Yong rebelled against Beitou again.

Of course, Shen Zhezi would not treat Lu Yong coldly because of things that have not happened, but he also has a standard for these descendants, that is, they must not exceed the scope of his control.

Lu Yong didn't want to be completely attached to his own martial arts, and Shen Zhezi could let him go, but he never responded to Lu Yong's idea of ​​returning to Liyang.Until now, Lu Yong is just a casual general and stationed in the suburbs, he can't be resettled, and he doesn't dare to seek refuge with other families, the situation can be described as embarrassing.

Although he is not considered a confidant, Lu Yong can be regarded as Shen Zhezi's person, so he should naturally be notified of such an event that may have a large or small impact.What's more, Lu Yong's army is mixed with fish and dragons, and there are many desperate, even Lu Yong himself is not easy to command.

Seeing the cordial and trusting conversation between Shen Zhezi and those Wu people, Lu Yong couldn't help feeling a little envious, and even doubted whether his idea of ​​preserving his strength was right or wrong.But he also knows that he is neither as deep as Han Huang's personal friendship with the son-in-law, nor like Kuang Shu who has the ability to govern the people and the economy. Once he gives up his tribe, he will soon become dispensable.

After seeing off the villagers, Shen Zhezi came back to receive Lu Yong. After sitting down, he smiled and sighed: "It's really a tree that wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. It's rare that everything has been set up to give you a few days of leisure. I didn't expect this to happen again." kind of thing."

"This must be a traitor's trouble, which means the son-in-law!"

Lu Yong said indignantly at the banquet, and then there was no lack of emotion: "I don't hide it from my son-in-law. I will be alone at the end of the day, and occasionally I have feelings. The north is corrupt, and Wang Zuo is forced to go south. The situation is already so difficult. It's a shame that the situation is still there It's a conspiracy, not inferior to China! Those celebrities and high-ranking people talk empty-handed, and never take the well-being of the people as their own responsibility, and they are living in vain!"

"The son-in-law's high righteousness, disaster relief and relief of the people is a good government that benefits the country and the people, but it has been criticized a lot. It is really unreasonable! The general himself has no good talents, but he is driven by his son-in-law's kindness and righteousness. Now It's a deep hatred that I didn't kill them when I was bold and chaotic back then, so that the world can be restored to peace!"

These words were not lacking in resentment apart from offering loyalty, probably due to being unusable for a long time and being a little bit extreme, not daring to be angry with Shen Zhezi, so he could only vent his anger on others.

Shen Zhezi smiled when he heard the words, and sighed: "Soldiers are dangerous. If you hurt others, you can also injure yourself. If you can do what you can, you can't do what you can. If you can make good decisions, you don’t need to resort to swordsmen.”

"General Lu, you seek to survive in the chaos of war and rise up in the army. What you are good at is held by the armor and used differently. You don't have to worry about it. Those who are brave and courageous are the virtuous people in this world."

"It's just taking shelter under the consort's feathers, and I can't share my worries when things happen. I'm really ashamed."

Shen Zhezi's praise made Lu Yong feel a little relieved, but he still said with regret.

"General, you don't have to worry about this. I said earlier that the envoy of Yu will return to the capital and go out to guard the military mansion. At that time, I would like to ask the general to return to the army and serve as a temporary guard. I also know that the general is a talent for frontier warfare. Ge Biaoxing is not the director. But right now there is a lot of work to be done in the middle battalion, and there are really no people around me, so I can only temporarily wrong the general to stay and discuss affairs."

Hearing that he was asked to serve as a guard, Lu Yong was indeed a bit reluctant, but he has been scattered for a long time, and his patience has long been worn out. It is very good to have a place to go now.Although he can't accumulate meritorious deeds with side affairs, it would be a good thing for him if he can gradually gain trust along the way.
