Chapter 237 Defection

Not surprisingly, Li Xinian was impeached.

The brothel business cannot be done without a background. The current background of Chun Yin Nong is Lu Fengxian, so Lu Fengxian wants to take away the oiran and shut down Chun Yin Nong. No one will care about it, and he does not want to provoke Lu Fengxian. However, although Li Xinian used the attack on the brothel this time to Although the imperial court collected money and replenished the national treasury, the people behind it were naturally unwilling.

Although the imperial court is now streamlined, it is only weakened, not dead. There are still interest groups. Not to mention the semi-retired big families such as Xie Yao and Cui Jinyuan, many of the big officials who are still in the imperial court now have extremely powerful relationships in Tianzhou. A person of strong influence.

Li Xinian's reform of the tax system caused dissatisfaction among many people before. However, with the support of the emperor, and the military and employment rights were all in Li Xinian's hands, now he was targeting Tianzhou instead of the whole world as before, so in the last battle , everyone finally compromised.

But this time Li Xinian started to attack brothels, which was equivalent to cutting off the wealth of many people.

You must know that behind this Tiandu brothel are basically high-ranking officials of the imperial court. Its real function is not to let people have fun, but a hidden means of bribery. Now that Li Xinian has issued an order, it will naturally arouse dissatisfaction and protest from these people. Early in the morning, they joined forces to impeach Li Xinian.

"Teacher, are you planning to attack these powerful people?" Lu Chao asked casually while looking at the chessboard in Li Xinian's mansion in Tiandu.

"Today there is only one state in Tianzhou, and the previous gentry politics is no longer suitable. I think your brother's kind of centralization of power is more suitable for today's court." Li Xinian nodded: "I have more support than your brother. Hongru Academy can let me There won’t be anyone available. The political situation is slightly stable now, but it’s just an extra breather. If we want to continue to consolidate, this power must be concentrated, and the people behind these brothels must be eradicated.”

"Teacher, this is the right way to kill someone." Lu Chao raised his eyes and looked at Li Xinian: "Have you ever heard of Qing Junzhi?"

Li Xinian looked at Lu Chao, looked at him seriously for a while and said, "So, I didn't touch Lu Fengxian, and neither did the Murong family or the Cui family."

"Not enough." Lu Chao shook his head and said: "Teacher is too idealistic. The question now is not whether Teacher can touch these people, but whether they are willing to watch the court centralize power, grow stronger again, and then take back the world bit by bit."

"Isn't this a good thing for your elder brother?" Li Xinian was stunned and said bitterly.

"My eldest brother is definitely not the one who wants the imperial court to collapse now. A complete collapse of the imperial court will not be of any benefit to my eldest brother. My eldest brother will not be so short-sighted." Lu Chao clicked on the map and conquered Yin Zheng and Lu Xuan. After General Chi En, if Lu Xuan wanted to, he could send his troops south and invade Dongzhou, but in fact Lu Xuan did not. The entire Yunzhou is only doing two things now, one is to develop and govern, and the other is to preach. There is a bit of intention to take advantage of the situation to expand, and it is going very steadily.

"I have no choice." Li Xinian said bitterly: "If we don't take action against them, many things in the court will not be able to proceed and will only slowly decline. The current court cannot afford to support corrupt officials."

"Yes, but doing so will break the rules. This alone is enough for all the princes in the world to raise an army to challenge the teacher." Lu Chao turned a few chess pieces in his hand and said: "There is no right or wrong in this world. The world is black. When I was monologue , then Bai is wrong, this is what you taught me, the teacher could have slowly sent Daqian to the last journey, and he has fulfilled his duty as a king and his ministers. Dynasties all rise and fall, so why should this be done?"

"Then what's the point of becoming an official?" Li Xinian shook his head, looked at Lu Chao and said with a smile, "I may have to break through to the fourth rank as a teacher."

Lu Chao said silently that the four moral qualities of Confucianism are the same in virtue and conduct, the same in words and deeds, and the same in knowledge and conduct.

This was a good thing, but in response to today's trend, Lu Chao felt a little uncomfortable and silently bowed: "Congratulations, Master."

"Don't you want me to become a teacher?" Li Xingzhi asked with a smile.

"My brother said that everyone has their own way to go. Respect the choices of others and interfere at will. That is not helping others, but satisfying your own selfish desires. I don't want the teacher to take this path, so I stop him, but the teacher If you miss this opportunity, your lifelong path will be cut off. For the teacher, even if he is alive, he is still a walking corpse and has lost his soul. All that is achieved is the disciple's filial piety in the eyes of the world." Lu Chao silently put the chess pieces into the chess cup. Looking at Li Xinian, he asked: "Besides, even if the disciple stops me, will the teacher give up?"

"I will die if I hear the truth in the morning." Li Xinian shook his head: "Back in Sanyang County, I could see that your brother was really good at killing me. He had no worries, but I have, not just family members, but I have cultivated my life Ru, I also want to see the scenery of the fourth rank. Now that I have you, I think my family will be fine, and I can go find the way without any worries."

"Disciple, try your best." Lu Chao nodded, then stood up and said, "Disciple, I'll take my leave first."

"Where are you going?" Li Xinian asked.

"Tell the news." Lu Chao said with a smile: "A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. The disciple must first ensure his own safety and see what he can do to help the teacher."

"Like your brother, you have a very flexible bottom line." Li Xinian looked at this disciple speechlessly.

"Teachers were afraid of death back then. Disciples are still young, so they are naturally afraid. The teacher has found his way, but the disciples are not yet. They don't want to be buried with the teacher." Lu Chao bowed to Li Xinian and said, "Teacher, take care. On that day, my disciple may no longer be able to accompany you."

"Be careful." Li Xinian looked at this disciple with some emotion. This was his last disciple, the youngest, but the one with the greatest potential.

"If it doesn't work out, I'll find my brother." Lu Chao waved his hand and said, "I've got some ideas these days. If I want, I should be able to contact him, but I don't think I can use him."

Seeing Lu Chao's leaving figure, Li Xinian felt a little emotional. In the blink of an eye, more than eight years have passed. Even Lu Xuan would be surprised by the changes that he had made when he was a dull nerd. If the two brothers joined forces, it would be a bit scary. ah.

On the other side, Lu Chao went straight to Lu Fengxian's house.

"What are you doing here, little brother?" Lu Xuan looked at Lu Chao curiously.

"I remember the general said at the beginning that if you want to be an official, come and find a general?" Lu Chao was not polite, looking at the general in front of him always gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity and closeness.

"Yeah." Lu Xuan nodded. "I hope to be an assistant to the general." Lu Chao said bluntly.

"I have a chief clerk here, do you want to do something?" Lu Xuan looked at Lu Chao with interest.

"Yes, thank you General." Lu Chao nodded and said, "There is one more thing I would like to ask General for help."

"Say." Lu Xuan nodded.

"I had some misunderstandings with my teachers and students, and I have nowhere to go for the time being." Lu Chao looked at Lu Xuan and said with a smile, "I wonder if the general can let me live in the military camp?"

"You don't have to be so troublesome. My place is big enough and there are many houses. The generals in the camp come to live here all the time. You can choose one of your own and follow me to the army tomorrow to get to know the generals." Lu Xuan waved his hand.

"Thank you, General, for taking me in." Lu Chao felt a little unbelievable when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would stay so easily and be placed next to Lu Fengxian. It was abnormal that this thing went smoothly.

"Brother, there is no need to say these polite words. It's getting late. I will take you to the military camp tomorrow morning to get to know the soldiers." Lu Xuan stood up and said with a smile.

Until Lu Xuan left, Lu Chao felt like a dream.

Early the next morning, Lu Chao followed Lu Xuan to the military camp and introduced Lu Chao's situation and position to everyone.

"General, this little brother will be responsible for accounting in the future? Will our food be deducted? I heard that scholars are very bad." Xiao Huipi was the first to question Lu Chao's ability and moral bottom line, and the others She doesn't care about the matter, but if food expenses are deducted, she will never do it.

"Does this female general understand what accounting means?" Lu Chao looked at Xiao Huipi and asked.

"I don't understand, but it has something to do with money. You are fair and clean, and you look like a polite scum. I don't trust you too much." Little Gray Skin shook his head.

"Accounting is to record military expenditures and income, not to directly manage money." Lu Chao said with a smile.

"You can still laugh when I say this to you? You are indeed not a good person!" Little Gray Skin said in surprise.

"General, can I not have any contact with this female general?" Lu Chao turned to look at Lu Xuan.

"I told you to study more and you didn't listen. This is called self-cultivation. You are still a scumbag. Who taught you?" Lu Xuan knocked on the little gray skin's head.

"Didn't you teach me that? You said you have to be careful when dealing with scholars, otherwise you will be deceived by those gentle scum!" Little Gray Skin said aggrievedly.

There was a burst of laughter all around, and the only person in the entire Tiandu who could render Lu Xuan speechless was this little gray-skinned guy from Southern Xinjiang.

"Today we have a scholar joining us, which is also a great joy. We will hold a banquet tonight to welcome Master Lu. Gu Hui, please work hard today. You will be on duty tonight. Don't go to the banquet. I will ask everyone to give it to you." You bring some back."

"No, General~" Gu Hui sat down directly and hugged Lu Xuan's legs: "I didn't mean it, I..."

"Stop, where did you learn these things?" Lu Xuan felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard the voice of Xiao Huipi forcing himself to act coquettishly.

"Aren't you all so coquettish when you fuck women?" Xiao Huipi turned his head and looked at the others in confusion: "Don't you think that coquettish women have the best life?"

"Little Pixiu, you are not acting coquettishly." Zhou Tong shook his head, looked at Xiao Huipi and said, "You are going to do this in front of the two armies. I don't know whether the enemy has retreated, but our army will definitely be defeated. !”

"Sister, listen to my brother's advice, this is really not suitable for you." Niu Ba sighed.

"Okay, let's start today's training. Once the training is done, I'll let you go!" Lu Xuan pushed Xiao Huipi away and said.

"Yes!" Xiao Huipi was overjoyed, and the next training became the hardest one.

Although Lu Chao felt that these people were a little unreliable, his opinion quickly changed when he watched Lu Xuan's team training for the first time. Although he was laughing and joking before the training, after the training officially started, even those who looked very unreliable The most beautiful woman in southern Xinjiang gives people an inexplicable sense of disinfecting. The soldiers and horses she commands are also the most powerful. There are not many people, but in the battle drill, no matter how many enemies there are, just one word, charge, is very powerful, and Very brave.

In the subsequent battle between the generals, one person pressed down the entire battalion with two hammers and beat the generals. This woman was actually the most powerful general under Lu Fengxian? It's really unbelievable.

Lu Chao had seen the training of the New Army. The recruits under Yu Wentong and the city guards under Lu Fengxian were far superior to the New Army by several levels in terms of generals, military formations and the murderous intent of the army. If the teacher had such Will a strong army with one man make any changes?
