Chapter 117 Major Events
Lu Qiang is finally going to continue the southern patrol. Before leaving, he ordered the shipyard to temporarily suspend work and transfer the prisoners and workers there to build the road from Jin'an County to Jian'an County.
If you want to be rich, build the road first. This is an eternal truth. In addition, the smooth road is also suitable for mobile troops and the transfer of various materials. This matter will be regarded as an important project and will be fully carried out in Jing and Jiang areas in the future.
The shipyard in Jin'an County has begun to take shape. Lu Qiang will not abandon it, and in the future, Jin'an County will also be used as his naval base and will vigorously develop. However, as Han Yanzhi said, in the case of poor financial resources, the construction of warships should be temporarily put down, and the nearly 100 sea ships captured from Goulin are now enough for training and patrolling.
In addition, Zhu Houzhong did what he said, and Lu Qiang soon received a report from Yan Yanzhi that 10,000 dan grain and fodder had arrived in Xunyang. Out of his recognition of Zhu Zan and Zhu Houzhong's loving son, Lu Qiang did not insist on the war horse or propose any more conditions. Originally, he meant that he was ready to release people, but Zhu Zan would follow him.
Lu Qiang can understand Zhu Zan's ideas. After all, he opened a door for Zhu Zan that he had never opened, so that Zhu Zan had a new understanding of the world. In addition, Zhu Zan's nature is not bad, and young people worship heroes, so he has to follow him.
Since this is the case, Lu Qiang can no longer let him be his groom. The Zhu family is extremely rich and has received the best education. Lu Qiang's original secretary Chen Moyu has been left to the county magistrate, and now Zhu Zan is taking over this position.
After receiving Lu Qiang's personal promise, Zhu Houzhong returned to Yangzhou alone. He had already thought that although Lu Qiang did not make any more demands, he must compensate others. After all, this matter was his own fault first, and this is not a political investment.
On a sunny morning, 2,000 guards were neatly arranged outside the city, waiting for Lu Qiang's order to set off.
Lu Qiang planned to leave quietly, but Xiao Yuanchang deliberately leaked the news that he was going to leave. It's not that easy to go on this road.
Lu Qiang has only been in Jin'an County for more than a month, but this small city has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The neat streets, brand-new shops, and the flow of people on the streets... Didn't Lu Qiang create this little bit with his soldiers? Although it can't be compared with those big cities, it is already a big difference from before.
There are no longer people with yellow and thin faces and uncovered clothes. Everyone has jobs and food to eat. Lu Qiang is really like a Buddha in their hearts. Many people have even worshipped Lu Qiang's card. Now that Lu Qiang wants to leave quietly, it is strange that the people are willing to agree.
Before the army outside the city gathered, the people spontaneously came from all directions of the city. In fact, they also knew that they could not keep Lu Qiang. They just wanted to say goodbye to their benefactor in this way.
At first, the people did not say anything, but quietly surrounded Lu Qiang's temporary mansion. It was not until Lu Qiang came out after washing up that countless people knelt down one after another.
Seeing this scene, Lu Qiang was stunned first, and then his eyes became wet. In fact, the people really didn't want much, and they didn't feel that they had given them anything, but just did what a parent official should do.
"Wouls, get up, what are you doing? Get up..."
Step forward to help up a few old people kneeling in front of them.
"Lord Lu, we know that you have something important to do, and we dare not stop you. I just hope you can come to see the people of Jin'an when you have time. The villagers are reluctant to give up with you! This was made by the villagers overnight. Please accept it."
An old man with silver hair held an umbrella-shaped thing full of broken steps with trembling hands and handed it to Lu Qiang.
Lu Qiang didn't know if this was the legendary Wanmin umbrella. He quickly took it with both hands and said, "The villagers love it, and I'm ashamed to be ashamed! Please rest assured that I will come back to visit you often when I have time. I also welcome the villagers to visit Jiangling. After I leave, if you have any difficulties, come to the government...
Lu Qiang and his party walked out of the city in the crowd of the people. Sima Xiuzhi followed far behind and looked at the scene of the people making friends with Lu Qiang. He suddenly remembered Lu Qiang's words, "Water can carry boats and overturn boats". The people can be compared to water. Is the boat a government or a king?
Looking at what Lu Qiang did during this period, Sima Xiuzhi believes that if Lu Qiang controls the ship, he will definitely drive the ship more smoothly and farther.
Thinking of this, Sima Xiuzhi couldn't help but be shocked. As a member of the royal family, how could he come up with this idea?
Just as Lu Qiang led the army to continue the southern patrol, a big event happened to Jiankang.
The cause of this matter is not big. In the imperial history, Wang Jianzhi impeached Huangmen's servant Hu Xiao's father for corruption and transgressed the law. Then Hu Xiao's father rebutted Wang Jianzhi's acceptance of bribes and released the criminal who should have been sent to prison home privately.
This is not a big deal. These officials are full every day. Why don't they find something to show them?
They don't know whether Hu Xiao's father has corrupted the law, but Wang Xizhi is well known for his character. This guy is famous for not taking advantage of a son of a bitch, but because he is a family with Situ Wang Mi, no one wants to provoke him, and Wang Mi is now very close to Liu Yi, and Wang Jianzhi naturally fights. It was branded by Liu Yi.
It is reasonable that this kind of dog biting dog will end up in the end. Who would have thought that Wang Zhizhi didn't know what medicine he took wrong? When no one else mentioned this matter, when the Golden Hall and hundreds of officials were discussing the government, they suddenly turned the gun, impeached Liu Yi for violation, and presented evidence in court.
At this time, there was an uproar, that is, the boldness that shocked Wang Jianzhi, and the careful people also smelled an unusual smell in it.
What is a violation? In fact, it depends on what to say and who is guilty of the crime?
There are many kinds of violations, such as the specifications of carriages and horses, the size of the residence, the architectural style, and even what kind of tableware to be used, which may be used as evidence.
The question is who is Liu Yi? Who dares to investigate him?
Therefore, Wang Jianzhi took out the illegal expansion of Liu Yi's mansion in court, and the specifications almost exceeded that of the prince. When there was evidence of disobedience, he immediately focused the eyes of civil and military officials on Liu Yi, who looked like eggplant skin.
Liu Yi was also confused. Wang Jianzhi usually followed him like a dog. He had never concealed anything from him, but he never thought that such a dog would bite him?
He turned his head and looked at Wang Mi, only to find that the old man seemed to have Alzheimer's disease. He stood there in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking.
Sima Dewen, who was sitting high, wanted to see the bustle at first, but after careful consideration, he found the problem.
Wang Mi, as Liu Yi's number one minion, didn't he react at all when Liu Yi was in trouble? Didn't he change his court?
Thinking of this, Sima Dewen couldn't help looking at Liu Yu, who was standing on the ground. At this moment, Wang Mi suddenly opened his mouth to speak.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this matter should be thoroughly investigated. If the matter is true, the general should be punished. If the son is false, he can also return the general's innocence, right?"
Except for a few civil and military officials who know the truth of the matter, the rest of them are confused. It is still possible for Wang Jian to take the wrong medicine. Why did Lao Wang Mi also go crazy?
At this time, no matter how slow Liu Yi's head reaction is, he also knows that Wang Mi has turned to Liu Yu, and today, all this is obviously arranged by Liu Yu in advance.
Thinking of this, Liu Yi turned around and said to Liu Yu, "Your Excellency, do you want to treat Liu Yi's crime? Hey hey! Are you ready?"
According to Liu Yi's idea, since Liu Yu dares to make a move, he is ready to go to war. In fact, he still doesn't know Liu Yu very well.
Liu Yi also has 100,000 troops outside the city. If he starts a hastily, even if Liu Yu wins, he will definitely win. Even if he learns from the appearance of Lu Qiang and takes a beheading operation, the army is controlled by the Liu Yi people, and in the end, a battle is inevitable.
So the safest way is to make Liu Yi unable to gain a foothold in Jiankang, isolate him on justice, turn him into a street mouse, and then destroy him little by little.
This is Liu Muzhi's plan for Liu Yu after stabilizing Lu Qiang.
Liu Yi doesn't understand the principle that one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, but he just reacts slowly.
After listening to Liu Yi's words, Liu Yu frowned and said, "Why did the general say this? I reported to the king, and I never dare to be impobeyed. I don't understand what you said was prepared, and even if the general is guilty, your majesty must issue an order, and I will definitely follow the order."
This language with a gun and a stick pointed out Liu Yi's ambition and put himself in the position of loyal minister.
Before Liu Yi could refute Liu Yu, Sima Dewen, who was sitting high, quit.
What are you going to do? Do you want to play the dominant family? The balance has been broken, how can I fight for the interests of the royal brother?
"Two Aiqing, don't listen to the slander of the traitor. I am convinced that Liu Aiqing is by no means that kind of person." Speaking of this, he pointed to the king and said, "Where is the general in front of the palace? Take down this treacherous hust who framed the meritorious minister to me, put him in prison, and hand him over to the department for trial. Once the evidence is conclusive, it will be a clear and typical "
"Wang..."
The civil and military officials were in chaos again, and everyone felt as if they were dreaming.
What happened today? First, the Wang family came to pass the lost fist and circled Liu Yi and Liu Yu in, and the second Liu side didn't wait to pinch up, and the emperor also came to insert a foot. What did he do? Is it fun?
Liu Yi and Liu Yu's ideas are almost the same as those of officials. During this period, they have been used to using Sima Dewen as decorations, but they didn't expect that this decoration always makes some unexpected things at critical moments...
