Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters manipulating the hearts of the people
Lu Youwei's heart sank. He vaguely understood Wang Junlin's plan. If Wang Junlin went to massacre the Lu family, he would definitely forge a deadly feud with tens of thousands of Lu family members. He would be wary of and hated by all the nobles in the world. Fan Yang
The county's scholars, and even all the scholars in the world, are disgusted, but hundreds of thousands of common people in Fanyang County, including hundreds of thousands of tenants, will not leave the Grand Administrator because of this matter.
Therefore, the prefect wants to force him to kill the people of the Lu family. If the Lu family has internal strife and the Lu family is weakened or even exterminated, what does this have to do with the prefect? Even if the nobles and scholars in the world know about this,
There is the shadow of the prefect behind the incident, and it is difficult to blame the prefect.
Thinking of this, Lu Youwei felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his heart had sunk to the bottom of the valley, but what could he do? Unless he didn't want to be the head of the Lu family, wanted to lose his reputation, and wanted to live a life worse than death...or kill the prefect...He
I remembered what my father said before he was strangled to death.
…
…
After Lu Youwei left, the Spring and Autumn Valley Master who had been following Lu Youwei these days also left.
After concentrating on eating some steamed buns, Xiang Xiang suddenly said: "Master, do you think this Lu Youwei will go on a killing spree against his people?"
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "Yes, he will definitely do it. If a person even kills his own father, he is no longer a human being, but a madman. A madman can do anything!"
"His delay in taking action is just the last delusion. Shen Guang has already sent people to secretly capture the people he sent to the capital, and he got a fortune of gold and silver for nothing." Wang Junlin said with a smile: "If you think about it,
This Lu Youwei is actually a character, scheming, tolerant, ruthless and decisive enough, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. However, he has never understood the truth. In this country where the law does not have much restriction, who controls the force?
, whoever controls the army has the final say, not to mention that he has not yet completely controlled the Lu family. Even if he does, no matter how much wealth, how many scholars support him, how much prestige he has, what's the use!"
Xiang Xiang blinked her big beautiful eyes and asked, "Do you want to kill all the Lu clan members?"
Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "Let Lu
Killing all the clans will indeed help me to fully control Fanyang County, but the blood will flow into rivers and corpses will be everywhere... This will also do a lot of harm to me, so I can't rush this matter and force Lu Youwei to kill him slowly.
!If Lu Youwei delays killing him, we’ll just give him one more piece of information."
At this time, Shen Guoer came from outside the door, and Wang Junlin asked someone to get a pair of bowls and chopsticks. While Guoer was eating steamed buns, she reviewed the reactions of the nobles in Fanyang County and the changes in the thoughts of the common people in the recent period, as well as those
The scholars' opinions were reported to Wang Junlin one by one, and finally some situations of officials at all levels in Fanyang County were reported in detail.
Wang Junlin listened very carefully, finally nodded and said: "That fourth master of the Lu family, find someone to contact him, find a way to make him ambitious, give him courage, and create some trouble for Lu Youwei.
"
Shen Guoer immediately understood what Wang Junlin meant and said, "I understand, I'll make arrangements right away."
…
…
In the final analysis, the price Wang Junlin paid was just an illusory reputation in the eyes of scholars and wealthy aristocrats. But his reputation was bad, but there were actually benefits. Even if there was no trouble this time, he was a little regretful. You know, if there was trouble,
, Yang Guang will definitely find some reason to reprimand himself, and this kind of self-destruction is something he is happy to see, because the more this happens, the more assured Yang Guang is of himself.
If Lu Bian's prestige in the hearts of the world's scholars was not that high, and if he was not a famous Confucian, his position as head of the Lu clan would not have given Yang Guang such a strong desire to kill.
Wang Junlin knew very well in his heart that as there was no chaos in the world, his power came from the emperor, or from the emperor's trust in him. But with Yang Guang's character, who knew when he would suddenly change his mind?
Judging from the emperor's actions over the years, Yang Guang has become increasingly suspicious. He kicked himself out of the position of commander-in-chief of the Lanyi Guard Mansion and sent him to Fanyang County as the prefect. On the one hand, it was naturally to give the queen an explanation, but more
What's more, it's his fear of Wang Junlin. As for dealing with the Lu family, it's not just the position of the prefect of Fanyang County that can be dealt with.
This is also the reason why Wang Junlin does not want to interfere openly with Fanyang County Navy.
, he believed that with his ability, as long as he showed greed for military power and tried to control the army, Yang Guang would definitely take action. That's why he asked Nie Xiaoyu to train troops in the salt field of his own system under the name of Yanding.
People took Yanding seriously, or regarded it as a minor official, which was convenient for Wang Junlin to act secretly.
There is also Snake Island, which will be Wang Junlin's biggest secret. As for the two islands near Goguryeo given to him by Yuan Taizuo, he can't take care of them for the time being. A few days ago, he sent Jin Yibei back to the county to wait for news.
, I guess the other party can’t wait any longer.
... Shen Guoer finished the basket of steamed buns and said in a low voice: "Sir, would you like to go to the Lu family's ancestral house and give Lu Bian a few sticks of incense?"
As the Grand Administrator of Wang Junlin, going to offer sacrifices to the head of the Lu clan can obviously ease the current situation and benefit his own image.
But... Wang Junlin just shook his head with an indifferent expression and said: "How can I pay homage to a scum like Lu Bian who only seeks fame and reputation?"
Shen Guoer was slightly startled and didn't understand. In her opinion, small actions could save a lot of trouble and bring a lot of benefits, so why not do it.
Wang Junlin stretched out his hand, pointed to the common people outside the window, and said softly: "The people's hearts are not scary, the scary thing is those who stand above all the people and can take advantage of the people's hearts... We can take advantage of the people's hearts and change them now."
People. As for those scholars, if they can’t even see clearly what kind of existence the Lu family is, then I don’t care what they think, these trash can’t affect the overall situation.”
…
…
It snowed again in Fanyang County, especially in Zhuo County.
Overnight, the sky and the earth turned white, and the funeral of the leader of the Lu clan was about to be held.
Wang Junlin watched all this indifferently, seemingly not doing anything, but actually waiting for Lu Youwei to do something.
On the third day after Lu Youwei came to see Wang Junlin, there was a sound of mourning in the Lu family's ancestral house. There was a white cloth hanging high and the mourning hall was open. It was the seven-day period for the coffin to be laid.
At the end of the seven-day mourning period, it is the time to announce the funeral. According to the funeral rules of this period, after seven days, the news of the funeral must be widely spread among relatives and friends, and then the person must wait to be condoled by relatives and friends.
