Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 890 Zhou Yu's Foresight

Prince Wu's Mansion!
The bright sunlight fell on the Kaikai white snow on the roof, shining bursts of white light, but there was an oppressive atmosphere in the main hall of Wuwang Mansion.

In the center of the main hall, three generals and officials dressed in luxurious sable fur were standing on their knees with pale faces, but in this cold winter, beads of sweat kept coming out of their foreheads.

"Chen Li, Zhang Feng, Chen Fei!"

Sitting on the throne, Lu Bu calmly chanted the names of the three people, but every time he uttered a name, the three people below trembled with fear.

bang~
Suddenly, he slapped the table with his big hand fiercely, and the long hard golden nanmu table was immediately cracked, and the memorials were flying all over the sky. Lu Bu glared at the three of them and roared: "Okay, all of them are really lonely confidants and love generals!" ah!"

"My lord, I waited wrong~"

"Wuuuu~ Your Majesty, please forgive me~"

The civil and military officers on both sides of the hall were even more frightened by Lu Bu's anger and lowered their heads, especially the usually proud heads of the generals buried lower one by one in shame.

Glaring at the generals, a row of Lu Bu was even more angry and shouted: "What are you doing with your head down, raise it up! Isn't everyone usually proud, raise it up!"

"The humble minister is guilty, please punish him!"

All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty clapped their hands together and shouted in shame, while Lu Bu laughed angrily and said, "Yes, all of them are amazing, and the rules set up by themselves are no longer taken seriously."

"Chen Li!"

With a roar, Lu Bu glared at the man angrily, "You are also a veteran who followed Gu South to the North War, Gu asks you now, is it taking you poorly?"

Among the three people kneeling below, Chen Li heard his king's questioning, his body trembled, he raised his head and cried in horror: "The king knows his mistake, and he won't dare again."

"Hehe~ Yes, now I know I was wrong."

When he said this, Lu Bu directly stood up and pointed at the kneeling three people and laughed mockingly: "It's really a good life, you don't look like you are wearing a military uniform. It seems that the three of you are completely I forgot the time when I was in the army."

"The stomachs are all so big, it seems that the past few years have not been less fish."

It seemed to be a teasing tone, but it fell into the ears of the three of them like thunder, and the three of them turned pale from fright and kowtowed their heads continuously begging for mercy.

"Zhang Feng! I still remember what you said back then. What you said in this life is nothing but to keep the old mother warm and fed. You are worthy of the people of Zhangjiacun."

"Hehe~ Look at this outfit, I'm really full and warm."

Pointing at the three of them, Lu Bu looked around at the civil and military inside the hall, but the anger on his face could not be concealed.

"For so many years, Manchu Civil and Military Soldiers never thought that this kind of situation would happen in the army, let alone being a soldier of Gu!"

"It seems that I have only seen the greed of civil officials for so many years, but I have not seen the black hands of generals like you."

The whole hall echoed with Lu Bu's angry roar, and hundreds of civil and military ministers lowered their heads and did not dare to take a breath.

After roaring, Lu Bu frowned with a look of deep exhaustion, looked at the civil and military officials and waved his sleeves fiercely for the last time and shouted: "Take it down!"

Crash~ The imperial guards outside the palace rushed in and dragged the three of them away. The three of them kept begging for mercy in horror.

When the figures of the three disappeared in the main hall, Lu Bu sat on the throne exhaustedly, with a sad expression on his face.

"Your Majesty!"

All the officials shouted in concern, Lu Bu stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and sighed wearily: "Gu really never thought that such a thing would happen."

His eyes were bloodshot with anger, and Lu Bu said even more angrily: "That Zhang Feng dared to boast in Luoyang Hotel that he was Gu's personal soldier, who had saved Gu's blood, and asked for money even if he didn't eat and drink."

"Haha~ And that Chen Li actually said that he was going to fight for the lonely south and north, but he gave it to the little official!"

Looking at Lu Bu who was getting more and more angry, Gao Shun, who was usually silent in the rank of generals, went out and knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and shouted: "Your Majesty, calm down, it's the last general who is not strictly supervised!"

bang~
He stomped on the scattered inkstones and smashed them to pieces. Lu Bu pointed at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and said ironically, "Look, these are the lonely generals. If there is a mistake, someone will take the blame."

This sentence made the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty even more nervous. A simple sentence almost said that officials and officials were protecting each other.

"Your Majesty, as officials, Chen Li, Zhang Feng, and Chen Fei not only extorted money from businessmen for food and drink, but also secretly seized more than [-] acres of fertile land from the people."

The outspoken Tian Feng doesn't care what your mood is right now, he just goes out and tells the crimes of the three with his head held high.

For a while, many officials were sweating secretly. When is the time, can't we wait for the king's fire to go down? They have to add fuel to the fire.

Not only Tian Feng, but also Chen Gong came out and looked directly at Lu Bu, without giving in at all, and they were short of directly asking the king how to deal with it.

After watching the two stubborn donkeys come out, Lu Bu was really furious, but when he was angry, his rationality made him understand that he must kill the messy mahjong quickly to suppress this evil wind.

"Take these three people to the barracks outside the city and behead them for public display. The property of the family will be confiscated, the fertile land rewarded will be taken back, and all members of the family will be demoted to Xiliang!"

promise!
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Lu Bu gritted his teeth and issued the king's order to behead him, then stared at Gao Shun with terrifying eyes and said in a deep voice, "You will thoroughly investigate the general in the army yourself!"

promise!
Gao Shun, who had just clasped his fists, raised his head and shouted directly: "My lord, these three people obeyed the law in the army, but they became like this after being rewarded by the king. I beg the king to order and thoroughly investigate the officials who quit the army due to meritorious rewards." general!"

Boom~
At this moment, all civil and military officials looked at this ruthless general, and countless people looked at him in amazement for a while.

What a ruthless Gao Shun!To investigate thoroughly!
"Your Majesty, the old minister asks for a thorough investigation!"

Just after Gao Shun finished speaking, the veteran Yang Lin, the leader of the military generals, also came out and said in a buzzing voice, with a white beard all over his face showing a calm and majestic expression.

In the army, Yang Lin and Gao Shun's prestige can be said to be only inferior to Lu Bu, but at this time, the two giant tigers in the army came out directly to invite a thorough investigation.

Before Lu Bu could open his mouth, Zhou Yu, who was handsome and radiant, came out slowly and clapped his hands and shouted, "I beg for a thorough investigation, General!"

Boom~
At this moment, all the officials looked at Zhou Yu in surprise. You must know that with Zhou Yu's status and status, there is no need to ask for this job that will not get any benefits.

This is an errand that offends others. It's too late for others to hide, but this person even wants to stand up.

Lu Bu, who was originally angry, saw Zhou Yu go out, and the anger in his heart was swept away, and his black eyes looked at the firm Zhou Yu with deep meaning.

"Okay! Gao Shun, Yang Lin, Zhou Yuru and other three will thoroughly investigate all the generals and officials in the army!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Bu saw the line of civil servants, and said with a sneer, "Tian Feng, Chen Gong, among the civil servants, you and the other two will conduct a thorough investigation."

"Anyone who violates discipline and does not respect the law will be severely punished!"

promise!
"The world is still uncertain, and there are so many corrupt officials under the solitary rule. If this evil trend is not stopped, I am afraid that there will be another Yellow Turban Rebellion before the world is unified."

Lu Bu's indifferent sentence made all the officials sweat, and the lethality of this sentence is relatively large.

"Every time you check one, ask Gu carefully. The salary of the big man has been doubled for you. Those who have meritorious service in civil servants, herders and guards, and those who have meritorious military commanders in attacking cities and looting villages are not rewarded heavily."

"Xuzhou County Prime Minister Yao Liang, because of his good governance and the people living and working in peace and contentment, even bluntly told the world that the reward he received was several times more than his salary."

"Ask yourself, have you ever treated you badly, why did you survive the blood and fire in the difficult times, but why can't you suppress the greed in your heart in the peaceful days?"

Lu Bu looked at all the officials calmly, as if he was tired, and finally waved his hand lightly and said: "Investigate what should be investigated, don't worry about who it is, even the important ministers of the dynasty treat them equally, and the bribery exceeds their own salary and they get twice the reward. Anyone, peel off the daylilies and hang them for public display!"

promise!
Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Di Renjie and others sighed secretly when they saw their king strictly investigating the corruption and bribery under his rule.

This time it can be said to be a powerful blow to the court, because they clearly know that the vast majority of corrupt officials come from poor families.

Everyone in the aristocratic family is secretly rejoicing, fortunately, the family is well-off and there should be no big troubles.

People in later generations will say how the people of the aristocratic family have been corrupt. In fact, the officials who lived in the aristocratic family since childhood, their family background is already rich, and coupled with the absolute strict requirements for education since childhood, it is impossible to say that there are no corrupt officials, but If it is compared with the humble family, it is really much less.

Most of the children from poor families were born in Yeluzi, and it is not easy to acquire the current knowledge. In addition, the family background problems since childhood are more likely to be blinded by greed.

Looking at the secret movements of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Lu Bu watched coldly. He could see clearly and knew it well, but the poor family needed to be beaten, so as to get rid of a group of moths and add new blood.

It seems to be a blow to the poor family in the court, but it is not that exchanging blood before a big mistake is made will be of great benefit to the future.

Originally, the management of the aristocratic family under his rule has been relatively strict, and this can be regarded as a shift in direction. The aristocratic family in the province began to dislike or recall the glory of the aristocratic family when they were full.

It is the general trend to support poor families, and the holding of the imperial examination is even more obvious. The combination of kindness and power tells the aristocratic family that what Lu Bu wants is real talents and practical learning, and what he wants is officials who are capable of governing one side.

As long as you have the ability, you can go. If you don't have the ability, it doesn't matter whether you are close to people or from a poor family, it doesn't work!

From the beginning of this court meeting, Lu Bu had thought of a plan, and what was unexpected was Zhou Yu's performance.

Lu Bu looked at Zhou Yu's figure indifferently, and nodded his head lightly without any trace.

It seems that offending people will give him a bad reputation in the court, but it will also indirectly pave the way for his future.

It is also a kind of self-confidence. He Zhou Yu is confident that he has the ability to lead the three armies to sit in the court in the future, but his identity is embarrassing.

Relatives!In the Han Dynasty, there were many times when foreign relatives threatened the government. Zhou Yu also saw this, and he was also proud of his own ability.

Therefore, Zhou Yu took this thankless job that would even offend the court officials, in order to avoid suspicion, in order to let Lu Bu and even future heirs know that Zhou Yu was at odds with all the officials, and even if he had military power, he could not become a threat to the imperial power. Relatives.
