In the simply decorated hall, the lamps and candles are flickering, and there are neatly arranged files and slips everywhere. Outsiders may not think that the administrative center of the state of Lu is so simple.

After not seeing him for a few years, Zhang Mengtan has grown a new beard. The two sagittal whiskers accurately outline the lip line, and there is a little more short whiskers on the chin. However, because of his well-organized arrangement, he is even more polite. He is now wearing a commoner and sitting in the residence of the general. The desks in front of him are piled up like a mountain of letter paper and slips, and there are pen officials holding more important documents next to him. Waiting for him to review and sign, holding the pen for too long and sketching too much, Zhang Mengtan's slender knuckles holding the pen were stained with ink.

If you don't know it, you probably won't believe that this slightly skinny young man in his twenties is actually the actual ruler of Lu for the past year!

Compared with the senior officials of the Central Plains countries, Zhang Mengtan appears to be too young, and his background is not high, but he is only a doctor's concubine, but because he is firmly in the position of the first minister in Zhao Wuxi's forces, he is in the When Zhao Wuxi left, he was in charge of the state of Lu as a family elder.

Because the current state of Lu is like Zhao Wuxi's private backyard...

Although Zhang Mengtan was low-key, the world was still amazed at his youth and ability, and they compared him to Chang Hong, the doctor who actually managed the Zhou family.

"But in the end, it's still a matter of accompany ministers to execute the country's life, which is not in line with the etiquette..." In addition to admiration, there are more discordant doubts.

The situation in the state of Lu was not optimistic. Although they were reunited under Zhao Wuxi's quest to conquer the east and west, Erhuan and the doctors also expressed their surrender. But the mere three years left them too little time. Although the county system was implemented, the rule was too thin. Although the scholars were promoted, they still respected the monarch and the emperor in their thinking. Although they are all over the country of Lu, their number and status in the village still need time to grow.

Zhang Mengtan knew that this was just a forcibly kneaded whole. If Zhao Wuxi left the country of Lu, the shogunate's force in various places would relax. It will be backlashed by Shi Qing and the old nobles.

"The servant is young, how can he take on such a heavy responsibility?" When Zhao Wuxi really wanted to leave the state of Lu and entrust the state affairs to him, Zhang Mengtan was quite frightened. Although he was young and wise and resourceful, he was still too young to be in charge of state affairs. When my childhood dream suddenly came true, I was afraid to accept it.

Zhao Wuxi smiled and said to him: "Because you are my elder. Your cleverness won the kingdom of Lu for me, and the responsibility of guarding Lu will naturally be handed over to you. Except for Meng Tan, I can't think of it. other suitable candidates."

The so-called "Zhao Shogunate" is entirely supported by a group of young scholars with low status. Compared with Zhang Mengtan, whether it is Ran Qiu, Zai Yu or Kan Zhi, he is not as good as him.

Since Zhao Wuxi trusted him so much. Zhang Mengtan could only bite the bullet and take over the mission, but he still felt enormous pressure.

Winning the country is easy, defending the country is difficult, and suddenly there is such a heavy burden on his shoulders, Zhang Mengtan couldn't sleep well at first, and he was simply unwilling to eat. During the time he "executed the country's life" this year, it can be said that he was in the abyss. Walking on thin ice, thinking carefully and carefully in every aspect.

"I can understand why Duke Zhou had to make three arrests after he conquered Yinshang and Dongyi back then, and he vomited three times with one meal..." He looked at the bronze mirror toiling with government affairs all day long, and he lost weight all over himself. Smile bitterly.

Although very tired and tired, but with his efforts to maintain, except for some initial turmoil, the government of Lu State has generally stabilized. The officials of the Zhao clan's shogunate had insufficient prestige, so Zhang Mengtan personally went to invite Yan He, a sage from the state of Lu who was in the field.

This Yan He was an old senior who even Confucius was convinced, and more importantly, he was not the same as the Confucian disciples who were becoming more and more powerful in the shogunate. Yan He openly criticized some pedantic practices of Confucius during his Xianglu period. But because of publicity, Ran Qiu, Zai Yu and others couldn't hate it.

Zhao Wuxi also visited Yan He when he was there, but he was unable to induce him to become an official. Zhang Mengtan did what the lord couldn't do. He did not know how to persuade Yan He to come out to help Xuande Education. country old.

This is a sign of Yan He's open support for the Zhao clan's shogunate. Zhang Mengtan won the hearts of the scholars of the State of Lu because of the famous scholars, and the scholars at the upper level were at ease.

In addition, the military meritorious soldiers who benefited the most from the Zhao clan's shogunate and supported the Zhao clan's regime the most, Lu Guo, a seemingly shaky plate, stabilized again within three months of Zhang Mengtan's acceptance, and endured the first wave of Qi people. Temptation did not allow them to take too much advantage. Moreover, he continued to export troops and weapons from west to west to help Zhao Wuxi win the wars in Hanoi and Hebei.

But Zhang Mengtan knew very well that the state of Lu not only had an external enemy of Qi, but also had hidden dangers inside, that is, the nobles and officials whose interests were most damaged in the process of Zhao Wuxi stealing Lu.

No, just after dealing with Xilu's emergency and Donglu's complaint, Liu Xiazhi walked in from the outside. He also maintained a certain degree of respect for Zhang Mengtan, and saluted slightly: "My old man, I'm here to return. ."

"It's hard work, General Liuxia, how are things going?" Zhang Mengtan didn't care at all, got up and greeted the thief with a smile.

Robber Zhi said proudly: "As expected by Zhang Zi, Ji Sun Xiaoer is planning something in the dark room. Ji Sun Fei and more than ten people were arrested on the spot. A lot of letters from Hou and Bao Mu were also found."

The surveillance of Ji's continued for several years. When Ji Sunfai thought that Zhao Wuxi had left, the watchers relaxed their vigilance and started jumping up and down, but he did not expect that Zhang Mengtan's eyes had been staring at him! And discovered this secret meeting that was trying to subvert the Zhao Shogunate.

Hearing that there was no accident, Zhang Mengtan breathed a sigh of relief, "Dare to ask where these people are now?"

Robber Zhi grinned: "The Ji family's mansion was surrounded by me, and they were separated into different rooms."

Liu Xiazhi was brave and resourceful, and he handled it properly. Zhang Mengtan was very fortunate that Zhao Wuxi sent this good helper to him, so that he had more confidence in defending the state of Lu before the return of the lord.

"Dare to ask Zhang Zi, what are these people going to do?"

Zhang Mengtan tapped the table with his slender fingers, and frowned a moment later: "Now the people of Lu State are panicking, Qi State has already invaded the hinterland, and rumors of troops coming to Qufu are flying all over the sky. If Ji Sunfei is killed at this time, only I am afraid that I will startle the Lu people and cause even more trouble, so I would put him and the entire Ji clan under house arrest, and let the lord be released after the war is over."

Robber Zhi slightly curled his lips. As a wanted thief, he knew the thoughts of those who tried to cause trouble, but he wanted wealth and wealth at risk! Only severe punishments can make them fearful, and chaotic times should be punished!

This old man is still too kind and soft-hearted.

However, Zhang Mengtan's next sentence made Dao Zhi dispel this prejudice.

"As for the others, interrogate them first, let them correct each other, pick out those with heavier crimes, and give them Bai Ling, let them kill themselves, but keep a decent one!"

Roof Zhi was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and applauded: "That's how it should be! I've already looked at several of them very unhappy."

Zhang Mengtan's eyes were filled with the calmness and ruthlessness of those in charge of the country's life. "That's not enough. As for Marquis Ji Bing, who has a proven crime, he has bad behavior on weekdays. He often hooks up with the wife and daughter of Doctor Qing, which is disgusting. Even if he dies, he will not be missed, so he can be regarded as a model. Send it to Dongshi, in front of thousands of people! He died for Ji Sun, and by the way, he also told the Shiqing and nobles of Lu State..."

The young doctor put his hands behind his back, turned to the thief and raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "In the Kingdom of Lu, under the Zhao clan, the era when the doctor could not be punished is over, if you dare to resist the shogunate again, no matter what your identity is, you will only have one fate, death! "

...

After the robbers left with conviction, Zhang Mengtan wiped the sweat from his forehead. Ji Sunfei's party was wiped out, and the dark tide in Qufu City had almost subsided, but the Qi army had already swept the Xilu by virtue of its military strength. I don't know when Dark clouds will overwhelm the city. What's more, outside the city, there are still people who are just around the corner...

He murmured to himself: "Mengshi, Zifu He, I hope you don't get confused and let me strike again!"

You know, in order to fulfill the promise of helping Zhao Wuxi to "defend the country", the Zhang family, who has a good temperament and always has a bottom line, can raise the butcher's knife without hesitation! No matter who the other party is!

Zhang Meng talked about Zhao Wuxi, not only the meeting between the ruler and the minister, not only the kindness of the encounter, but also the trust of friends to friends...

So faithful, even if he worked hard in this Taidai land, he should repay with death!

At this moment, someone came in again~www.readwn.com~ Zhang Mengtan was also used to it, and the bureaucrats of the shogunate basically came to ask him for instructions when they encountered major events.

The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and looking at the light, it is Kan Zhi who has just returned from Xilu. Zhang Mengtan smiled slightly and stepped forward to greet him. Over the past year, Kan Zhi has been his right-hand man. Fortunately, the lord is still there. Such talents were discovered in the State of Lu.

However, Kan Zhi had no intention of greeting. He looked solemn and walked in a hurry. After coming over to pay a casual salute, he said straight to the point: "Zhang Zi, I got a piece of news in Xilu."

Zhang Mengtan was shocked: "Oh, what's the news, could it be the Lord's side..."

"It's not Weiguo." Kan Zhi said, his face more serious.

"It's the Jin country, the Han family, lost again!"
