Chang Yu stood at the door until Zhu Chuanji and the two disappeared, then turned around, looked at Zhu Cixiang next to him and sighed slightly: "What do you think of your cousin?"
"I don't like him." Zhu Cihong was very direct: "I can't say I like or dislike him, but from the bottom of my heart I don't like him, and his son."
"I don't like it either." Chang Yu sat down, picked up the teacup, and looked at the stove in a daze. Zhu Cixiang tilted his head and looked at him: "But I see you are very happy talking with him."
"Do you still remember what I said before?" Chang Yu smiled bitterly, and Zhu Cihong was startled: "Dogs see dogs, and people see people?"
Chang Yu nodded: "Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. Although I don't like this person, I have to communicate with him."
"Is it just because we owed him a favor before, and then we asked him to help us make money?" Zhu Cixi understood clearly, and Chang Yu nodded: "Everyone in the world comes for profit. If there is no profit, why bother stepping on this...
"He wanted to say shit, but then he thought about it. After all, the royal family can't speak without hesitation. When it reached Emperor Chongzhen's ears, it fell into disgrace, so he chuckled: "It was the same for that generation of kings. If I hadn't benefited from it,
I'm afraid I can't even get through the gate of the palace, let alone hope to be a guest."
"I've learned a lesson." Zhu Cixi sighed: "These are things that cannot be learned in the palace."
"Report to the Governor, Commander-in-Chief Yang is asking for an audience." At this time, someone outside the door came to report. Chang Yu said, "Let him in." After a while, Yang Zhenwei came, with more than ten generals behind him, all of whom were members of the Datong Army.
They were the mainstay of the party, but these people were not allowed to enter the palace, but were waiting outside the palace. Their expressions were extremely serious, and they looked completely different from the relaxed ones at the luncheon.
Yang Zhenwei respectfully handed over a roster with both hands. Chang Yu took it and looked through it carefully, sometimes frowning and sometimes sneering. Yang Zhenwei was too nervous to breathe loudly. Zhu Cixiang wanted to take a look but finally held back. At this moment, there were a few more
A Jinyiwei and Fanzi came in, also holding several brochures in their hands.
After a while, Chang Yu flipped through Yang Zhenwei's booklet and threw it on the table next to him, then turned to the one sent by Jin Yiwei.
It was warm as spring inside the palace, Yang Zhenwei was restless, and the cold wind outside the palace was biting, but the dozen or so generals were noisy like ants on a hot pot.
After a while, Chang Yu flipped through the book and handed it to Yang Zhenwei: "Take a look."
Yang Zhenwei quickly took it and looked through it carefully. Unknowingly, his face became more solemn: "Master Governor, this..." After he returned from Datong as the chief military officer, he began to rectify military affairs. However, there was an undercurrent in the Datong military.
, although Jiang Quan died, the military power fell into the hands of the original generals, but Yang Zhenwei has been fighting abroad in the past few months. Although he was already the chief military officer when he came back, his foundation was too shallow, and the military power was almost empty. What's more,
There is also Dai Wang operating secretly.
But Yang Zhenwei is not a softie who can be manipulated by others. Historically, he dared to kill Jiang Yu, which shows that he is also a ruthless and courageous master.
Okay, if you can't do it clearly, then you'll come here secretly. If you can't do it now, just wait for reinforcements. Yang Zhenwei was promoted by Chang Yu, so he thinks he is from the Dongchang faction. In addition, he and Zhou Yuji once fought thousands of miles away and formed a friendship. It's more or less the same.
For those who are confident, although the little eunuch is far away, Zhou Yuji is in Taiyuan, and now he has a prominent status as the general of the Zhu Kingdom, Ping Xibo! He is a great god that ordinary people cannot afford to offend.
Yang Zhenwei knew that his replacement of Jiang Yu as chief military officer had caused dissatisfaction among many people, and even wanted to kill him. However, because he had two backers, Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji, he knew that those people would have to think carefully if they wanted to take action, and
He would not stretch his neck and wait for death, so he secretly collected a lot of dirty information about the generals by rectifying military affairs. Whoever took bribes and embezzled would be paid free money, whoever had private soldiers, and whoever used public weapons for personal use... This is the list given to Chang Yu just now.
.
What Chang Yu showed him was Jin Yiwei's collection, which was more detailed and involved, even Yang Zhenwei's dirty information was listed one by one.
Chang Yu smiled, reached for Yang Zhenwei's roster, stood up, walked to the stove and threw it in. Yang Zhenwei changed his face: "Master Du Gong..."
Chang Yu waved his hand, then picked up a pen and crossed out a few pairs on the roster sent by Jin Yiwei. The Jin Yiwei next to him said: "Send to the Minister of History."
Yang Zhenwei was even more surprised: "Master Du Gong, these people are..."
"This is a deal. We can only do this if you don't have a stable seat now. When you do, we can take it back to the governor with interest!" Chang Yu's words were full of falsehoods, and the words were crossed out.
A few people were indeed the ones protecting the king, but the prerequisite was that they would either spit out whatever they ate or make up for it on the king's behalf. The reason why he said this was to ask Yang Zhenwei to do him a big favor.
Yang Zhenwei was really moved, and knelt down on one knee: "My Lord Governor's kindness in supporting and reinventing me will be deeply remembered in my heart. From now on, I will only look forward to it." He gritted his teeth and said, "I will repay you twice as much for today's humiliation!"
"As long as you have the will, you can do whatever you want in the future. If the sky falls, I will still support you." Chang Yu smiled faintly and stretched out his hand to help Yang Zhenwei up. He said this clearly to Yang Zhenwei, but in fact he was warning the palace.
Those people outside.
"Wang Jinchao, come in," Chang Yu called to the door. Wang Jinchao hurriedly entered the hall, knelt down on one knee and saluted, his face turned blue, I don't know whether it was from the cold or from fear.
Chang Yu coughed lightly and said, "You are called Jin Chao, but what you do means that there will be no way out of the court, but the door of the imperial edict is open for you."
"The humble position is guilty, the humble position deserves to die!" Wang Jinchao put his head on the ground: "I hope that the Lord Governor will raise his noble hand and give the humble position another chance." He was like a mirror in his heart, knowing that it was meaningless to speak harshly at this time, Dongchang's and Jinyiwei's plus
If Yang Zhenwei, an old rival, searched for information on him, he would definitely not escape.
"You are guilty, and I can kill you, but I will spare you once today. You should also know the reasons and be sure of what you should do in the future. If you do it again, I will not give you a second chance." Chang Yu
Sneered, Wang Jinchao is Jiang Yu's man, and he is also the king's man, and of course he is also the man who opposes Yang Zhenwei.
He is also one of the people the king wants to protect.
Although Chang Yu made a deal with Dai Wang, what should be beaten must be beaten. This patrol will use thunderous means to rectify military affairs, but it also leaves room for leeway. As long as most of the people who have not committed any crime in recent months can forget the blame, there is really no tolerance.
Only in Xuanfu!
According to the information collected by Jin Yiwei, adhering to the principle of letting bygones be bygones, Wang Jinchao's guilt is negligible. In addition, Chang Yu was the king's guarantor, so it was a favor. Moreover, he also had the same idea, and Yang Zhenwei's family could not be allowed to dominate.
But there is one thing he wants these people to keep in mind. If they do it again, no one will protect them!
Wang Jinchao raised his head and secretly glanced at Yang Zhenwei next to him, feeling mixed emotions in his heart and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Then Chang Yu called several generals into the palace to reprimand them. Some of these people were people who protected the king on behalf of the king, and some were people who worked for Yang Zhenwei. They all yelled and cursed. Although these people were frightened, they were relieved. This time, they could be saved their lives.
No need to go to jail.
As for those who were not called today, they will be in danger after tomorrow. From being raped to being raped, to being imprisoned or even losing their heads. Those people either have no one to bail them out, or they cannot be bailed out, and they are not allowed to be bailed out, but the prerequisite is that they are all guilty.
Although Datong will not collapse as a whole like Xuanfu, a few chickens must be killed to scare the monkeys.
It was late at night, and the promotion reception in another part of the palace had not yet ended. Yang Zhenwei quietly left the palace with a group of generals, leaving the two of them kneeling at the door of the palace.
Wang Fuchen and Wu Mushan.
"Gathering people to gamble, fighting, molesting women, oppressing people...Wang Fuchen, you are tired of living." Chang Yu shouted in the palace and slammed the table. Wang Fuchen outside the palace shivered and quickly kowtowed: "You are wronged, Governor.
My lord, I am wronged... spare my life, my lord, please spare my little life..."
"There's nothing wrong with gambling. If you don't pay back your gambling debts, you'll beat people. You're a cancerous rat. If you stay in the army, you'll be a disaster. Come on, take them out and chop them down!" Chang Yu stood up and shouted fiercely, and Wang Fuchen fell down.
He wailed: "Master Du Gong, please spare your life. Please spare my life. I am willing to work as a cow or a horse for you!"
"Lord Du Gong, please spare my life. I spared General Wang's life. I will also make you a cow and a horse." Wumu Shan also quickly kowtowed to beg for mercy. Chang Yu said "Oh" and walked up to him: "You are very loyal to him."
"General Wang saved the villain's life," Wu Mushan said honestly, and quickly kowtowed to plead for Wang Fuchen.
"You are a loyal person who knows how to repay kindness." Chang Yu nodded slightly: "The governor respects loyal people the most. Since you asked for mercy..." He glanced at Wang Fuchen again: "I don't know if I can save your life.
What’s the use?”
"The young one can work for the Governor..." Wang Fuchen said quickly but was cut off by Chang Yu: "Why does this Governor lack such a thing like you?"
"Then, that little one can go kill the Tatars and the thieves to atone for his sins." Wang Fuchen was anxious and begged: "As long as the Governor gives me a chance, I can be like General Gao Jie, and I will be the same as him."
A thief..."
"Bah, you are worthy of being compared with Gao Jie. Do you know how many thieves he has killed in the past six months, how much lost territory he has recovered, how many achievements he has made, how many fucking times have you made bets in the past six months, and how many times have you lost?
Money, how can you compare with him!" Chang Yu shouted angrily, and Wang Fuchen hugged his leg: "As long as Lord Du Gong gives me a chance, I will definitely be able to do what General Gao can do!"
"Just you? Seriously?" Chang Yu sneered.
"Take it seriously, take it seriously. If you lie, it won't be too late for the governor to kill me!" Wang Fuchen saw hope and kowtowed violently. His forehead was broken and bleeding, and his face looked extremely ferocious. Next to him, Wu Mushan also kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Okay, I will give you a chance. In half a year, if you kill more than a hundred enemies, you will be promoted to level three. If you fail, I will kill you again!"
"Thank you Lord Du for your life, Wang Fuchen was overjoyed and kowtowed." Chang Yu kicked him away: "Of course you can also run away overnight and see if the Lord of Heaven and Earth can catch you."
Wang Fuchen was startled: "Why do you want to run away? There are only a few hundred heads. If there is a war, at most three small ones can be killed!"
"Hey, you're so awesome!" Chang Yu snorted coldly: "There's no point in talking big, show me your real skills!"
"Then just watch it, Lord Governor!" Wang Fuchen knew that he had escaped the disaster, and he no longer panicked and felt confident to speak: "I heard that Xi'an will be attacked soon, please fight!"
Wang Fuchen escaped death and Wu Mushan left the palace and returned to the military camp. Chang Yu in the palace was holding a tea cup and staring at the fire in a daze. Zhu Cixiang frowned: "He is Jiang Yu's man. According to your dream, he followed Jiang Yu and surrendered to the thieves first.
He made a lot of efforts to surrender to Qing Dynasty, so why not kill him?"
Chang Yu picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Not all those who surrender to thieves and those who surrender to the Qing Dynasty will be killed, but those who are useless will be killed! This Wang Fuchen is of great use."
Some people would say that Chang Yu had a double standard. Didn't he hate those officials and generals who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty? He would kill them as soon as they were caught. He had to kill them no matter how hard he tried. Why did Wang Fuchen continue to surrender without killing him over and over again?
Just because he is useful!
And looking at what Chang Yu did, he did hate those weak-minded surrendered ministers and generals, and he did kill some, but those he killed were all weak-boned, bad-mannered, incompetent and useless. Such dissatisfaction
Why kill and keep it?
As for those who were useful, he had never killed any of them, including Ma Ke, Tang Tong, and Wu Sangui. Zu Dashou even thought of ways to exchange them for them, just because they were all useful!
It's obvious that there's no one available, and it's obvious that these people can be of great use, so wouldn't it be stupid to kill them?
Besides, if you really want to kill, can't you just kill after you're done with it, like Liu Zeqing did.
