Chapter 120 The Emperor’s Secret Edict

Xi'an Prefecture, Fucheng Yamen.

Fang Xuanling was sitting in the lobby with a sad look on her face.

This time, in order to rectify the official administration of the four northern states, too many officials were taken down, so much so that some places in the four northern states suddenly had a vacancy period.

This was because Fang Xuanling kept his hand and did not involve any serious involvement, but only took down some officials who had to be taken down.

Fang Xuanling basically didn't touch the little shrimps or those who were unimportant, capable, and not guilty of serious crimes.

Otherwise, there will be more vacancies in the four northern states.

In this way, there are not enough reserve officials to fill the vacancies of those officials who have been captured in this place.

"If it really doesn't work, I can only report it to the Emperor."

Fang Xuanling frowned and thought secretly.

Fang Xuanling knew that if the vacancies in these places could not be filled in time, it would be okay in the short term, but over time there would definitely be trouble.

This is also not conducive to the stability that has just been calmed down.

Without officials, how can we govern the local area, stabilize people's hearts, and provide disaster relief?

Therefore, the positions of these removed officials must be filled as soon as possible.

Otherwise, there will really be problems.

Just when Fang Xuanling was worried about these things, a shrill voice came into the government office lobby from outside.

"Lord Fang, the Emperor's secret decree."

As the voice came, Cao Shaoqin walked in with a gentle look on his face.

The faint scent of blood on Cao Shaoqin's body could be smelled from a distance by Fang Xuanling, who was sitting in the lobby of the government office.

The Emperor's secret decree?

Fang Xuanling was stunned.

The Huangtian Sect rebels have been wiped out, and the rebellion in the four northern states has been put down.

Why would the emperor issue a secret edict?

Fang Xuanling raised an eyebrow and looked at Cao Shaoqin.

Cao Shaoqin did not hesitate, and directly took out the secret decree and handed it to Fang Xuanling: "Master Fang, take a look!"

After handing the secret decree to Fang Xuanling, Cao Shaoqin sat down directly next to him.

Fang Xuanling took the secret edict from Cao Shaoqin, opened it and glanced at it, his face suddenly became serious.

"I'll send someone to call General Lu back immediately."

The contents of the secret edict made Fang Xuanling's expression serious.

To be honest, Fang Xuanling did not expect that Zhou Chen would touch the 'Boling Cui Family', one of the seven great families, at this time.

This is a bit risky.

After all, Fang Xuanling had just moved the wealthy families in the four northern states according to the order, and had already aroused the vigilance and attention of other wealthy families.

If Lu Bu were to annihilate the Bolingcui Family, one of the seven great families, it would definitely put other wealthy families in Great Zhou in danger.

At that time, if other wealthy families secretly join forces to counterattack, it will be very troublesome.

However, now that the imperial decree has been issued, Fang Xuanling can only act in accordance with the decree.

He tried his best to make plans for the annihilation of the Bolingcui family, one of the seven great families of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This is also the reason why Zhou Chen gave Fang Xuanling a secret order.

Fang Xuanling's plan was put to an end, and Fang Xuanling's plan came in handy at this moment.

After sitting down, Cao Shaoqin heard Fang Xuanling's words and shook his head and said, "No need. When the Za family receives a secret order and rushes back to Xi'an Mansion, they will have already sent someone to notify General Lu."

"I believe General Lu will be arriving soon."

Cao Shaoqin and his factory guards were originally in Youzhou, hunting down some officials and wealthy families.

But suddenly receiving the secret order, Cao Shaoqin put aside everything and rushed to Xi'an Mansion without stopping.

Moreover, Cao Shaoqin also sent someone to notify Lu Bu, who was also leading the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to clean up wealthy families.

If Lu Bu receives the news, he should be here soon.

Sure enough, as soon as Cao Shaoqin finished speaking, Lu Bu walked into the government office lobby with a dusty face.

"I heard that the emperor has a secret edict. What is the edict?"

As soon as Lu Bu walked in, he glanced at Fang Xuanling and Cao Shaoqin and asked.

Cao Shaoqin glanced at Lu Bu, and without saying a word, he took out a secret decree and handed it directly to Lu Bu: "This is the emperor's secret decree for General Lu."

"General Lu, let's take a look first!"

Cao Shaoqin handed the secret decree to Lu Bu and said softly.

Fang Xuanling and Lu Bu each had a secret edict. Although the content and meaning were the same, their responsibilities were different.

Similarly, Cao Shaoqin, as the second governor of Dongchang, also had a secret edict from above.

Lu Bu took the secret edict from Cao Shaoqin, opened it and glanced at it, then looked directly at Fang Xuanling who was sitting on the main seat in the lobby.

"Lord Fang, the emperor asked me to destroy the Boling Cui family this time. Please listen to your opinion."

"Lest any accidents occur and cause unnecessary turmoil."

"What do you think, Mr. Fang?"

"If you have any good suggestions, Lord Fang, just tell me, and I, Lu Bu, will definitely follow them."

There is not much content in the secret decree, but Lu Bu has already understood the deep meaning of the secret decree.

That is to let Fang Xuanling have full authority to make plans for the annihilation of the "Boling Cui Family", and Lu Bu can just take action.

Therefore, Lu Bu looked at Fang Xuanling who was sitting on the main seat and said seriously.

"Our Dongchang will also assist. If Mr. Fang has any good plans, just speak up. Our Dongchang will fully cooperate."

Cao Shaoqin also followed Lu Bu and looked at Fang Xuanling who was sitting on the main seat.

It can be said that Fang Xuanling's suggestion as the mastermind of this attack on one of the seven great families of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Boling Cui Family, was very important.

Both Lu Bu and Cao Shaoqin have to be considered first.

Facing the looks that Lu Bu and Cao Shaoqin were looking at, Fang Xuanling's face became cautious.

The secret order Fang Xuanling received was also to ask him to advise Lu Bu and assist Lu Bu in wiping out the "Boling Cui Family" so that there would be no turmoil.

Fang Xuanling glanced at Lu Bu and Cao Shaoqin: "The most important thing about this matter is to keep it secret. The Cui family cannot get any news in advance."

"Then, when we take action, we must also clean up the Cui family's main power and influence."

"We cannot give the Cui family any chance to react. The specific details must be discussed carefully."

Fang Xuanling said with a cautious look.

The Bolingcui family is one of the seven aristocratic families in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and its energy is not ordinary.

If the Boling Cui family had heard the news in advance and made preparations, it would not be that easy to annihilate the Cui family.

The turmoil caused by a wealthy family is definitely much more serious than people like Huang Tianjiao.

Especially for a wealthy family like the Bolingcui family, one of the seven aristocratic families of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if there is chaos, it will bring a lot of trouble to the Great Zhou court.

After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, Lu Bu nodded; "Then let's discuss the details immediately. This matter should be done sooner rather than later."

"After the discussion is completed, immediately proceed to annihilate the Boling Cui family."

"Lest you have long nights and many dreams."

Cao Shaoqin nodded without any objection.

Immediately, the three people began to discuss.

…

Half a day later.

Regarding the matter of annihilating the Boling Cui Family, one of the seven great families of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Fang Xuanling, Lu Bu and Cao Shaoqin had completed their discussion.

After discussing the matter, Lu Bu glanced at Fang Xuanling and said, "Master Fang, some remnants of wealthy families have been making trouble in the past few days."

"If we leave, you won't have any problems here!"

Lu Bu looked at Fang Xuanling and said worriedly.

Don't look at Fang Xuanling and the others, they reorganized the civil service in the four northern states, captured many officials, and cleaned up most of the wealthy families.

But the sequelae of this are only now beginning to gradually come to light.

After all, a wealthy family is a wealthy family. If the family can be confiscated and exterminated so easily without any sequelae, then it is not a wealthy family.

Therefore, in the past few days, Fang Xuanling was assassinated no less than seven or eight times, and even Cao Shaoqin was no exception, being assassinated three times.

Only Lu Bu was not assassinated.

This is all done by the remnants of wealthy families.

Even though Lu Bu and Cao Shaoqin were very thorough when attacking those wealthy families, it was still hard to guarantee that some fish would slip through the net.

These fish that slipped through the net are now emerging and taking revenge.

Lu Bu was worried that after he and Cao Shaoqin left, Fang Xuanling would not be able to cope with such a situation on her own.

After hearing Lu Bu's words, Fang Xuanling smiled disapprovingly and said, "Don't worry! Now the officials and wealthy families in Yongzhou and Youzhou have been sorted out, so there won't be any problems."

"As for those young people who can only hide in the dark, they can't make any big waves."

"I, the Imperial Envoy, are not some weak scholar with no strength to restrain himself."

Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

indeed.

Although Fang Xuanling is a civil servant, he still has certain strength after signing out of this world.

Although it is not as powerful as Lu Bu and Cao Shaoqin, it is definitely more than enough to deal with ordinary young people.

"In this case, I won't say more."

"I'm going to organize the army first. I'll leave Wei Xu behind to assist Mr. Fang."

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he stood up and left the government office lobby.

This time to wipe out the "Boling Cui Family", one of the seven great families of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lu Bu will take away more than half of the Nanying Shenwu Guards to suppress the rebellion, leaving only a small part of the gang Xuanling to intimidate Yongzhou and Youzhou.

place.

After all, the Bolingcui family is one of the seven aristocratic families in the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are many nine clans, and their strength cannot be underestimated.

If there are fewer soldiers and horses, it will not be easy to wipe out the Cui family in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Lu Bu wanted to take away most of the soldiers and horses of the Nanying Shenwu Guards to suppress the rebellion, leaving not many soldiers and horses for Fang Xuanling.

However, Lu Bu will keep Wei Xu to assist Fang Xuanling.

Speaking of Wei Xu, after leaving Yangxin Hall that day, he rushed directly to the four northern states to serve under Lu Bu.

In the past few days, with the Shenwu Guards, he has also wiped out many wealthy families in Yongzhou, and he can be regarded as a person who can stand alone.

This time Lu Bu led a large army to annihilate the Boling Cui family, and Wei Xu could not play a big role. Lu Bu just left him behind to assist Fang Xuanling.

After Lu Bu left, Cao Shaoqin also stood up and said to Fang Xuanling: "Master Fang, the Zajia will leave first, and the Zajia will leave some factory guards behind."

"If Mr. Fang has something that is inconvenient to do, you can let them do it."

After saying that, Cao Shaoqin also left the government office lobby.

In addition to summoning the factory guards and arranging their next actions, Cao Shaoqin also had to immediately send a message back to Luoyang to Cao Zhengchun, the chief governor of the East Factory.

You know, Cao Zhengchun is also waiting for Lu Bu to take action.

After Lu Bu and Cao Shaoqin left, Fang Xuanling's mind went over the details that the three of them had just discussed.

After feeling that nothing was missing, Fang Xuanling turned his mind to the dilemma he was facing now.

"Oh, let's write a memorial to the emperor!"

"The vacancies in the four northern states must be filled as soon as possible."

Fang Xuanling thought to herself, and immediately picked up a pen to write a memorial, and then gave it to the courier to be sent to Luoyang, the capital of China.

…

"Urgent message from General Lu."

Daizhou, Shangyang Prefecture.

In the military camp outside Fucheng, a Shenwu Guard messenger rushed into the military camp on a fast horse.

Inside the military camp tent.

The Shenwu Guard messenger said to a young general sitting in the commander's seat: "General Zhang, this is an urgent message from General Lu to General Zhang."

As the Shenwu Guard spoke, he knelt on one knee and raised a letter in his hand.

Urgent message from General Lu?

Could it be that something happened in Yongzhou and Youzhou?

Zhang Liao raised his eyebrows.

That's right, the young general sitting in the commander's position is none other than Zhang Liao, who is temporarily in charge of the Beiying Shenwu Guard's counterinsurgency army.

Zhang Liao immediately stood up, walked to the side of the Shenwu Guard messenger, took the letter raised by the Shenwu Guard messenger, opened it, and read it.

When Zhang Liao read the contents of the letter, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Then, Zhang Liao shouted directly outside: "Here comes someone."

"Beat the drum to gather the generals."

"Gather the army."

After Zhang Liao finished shouting outside, he then looked at the Shenwu Guard messenger who was kneeling on the ground: "Go back and tell General Lu, and I will tell you that I know."

"I will act in accordance with what is stated in the letter."

Zhang Liao originally thought that Lu Bu's urgent message was because something had happened in Yongzhou and Youzhou, and he needed to send troops to support him!

Unexpectedly, it was true that Zhang Liao sent troops to support, but it was not something happened in Yongzhou and Youzhou.

Instead, Lu Bu wanted to leave with the Beiying Shenwu Guard army to suppress the rebellion. The two states needed Zhang Liao to send part of his army to assist Fang Xuanling.

It just so happened that Zhang Liao was very busy these days, so Lu Bu's urgent message came at the right time, so that Zhang Liao could lead his troops to suppress the thieves.

"Yes, General Zhang."

The Shenwuwei messenger responded and exited the military tent.

After the Shenwu Guard messenger left, Zhang Liao walked back and forth thoughtfully.

The reason why Zhang Liao's Nanying Shenwu Guard counter-rebellion army stayed in Shangyang Mansion in Daizhou was to intimidate Daizhou and Yanzhou and completely settle down the two places that had just experienced the rebel rebellion.

Now after these days, Yanzhou and Daizhou have stabilized and are on the right track.

The Nanying Shenwu Guard's counterinsurgency army must leave many troops in Shangyang Mansion. It is appropriate to transfer some of them to Yongzhou and Youzhou.

Moreover, apart from this matter, there is another thing that is most important in Lu Bu's letter.

That's why Lu Bu asked Zhang Liao to lead his troops to annihilate several branches of the Boling Cui family. This is the reason why Zhang Liao is thinking deeply now.

The annihilation of several branches of the Boling Cui family needs to be carefully planned and there should be no mistakes.
