Sign a Lu Fengxian at the beginning

Chapter 276: Patriarch, this matter has nothing to do with us

Outside the customs.

Northern Capital City.

Lu Bu glanced at Liang Tong and the others who were lying on the ground, with a trace of disdain on his face.

Not even his Fangtian Painting Halberd can stop him.

Is this the so-called worldly person who transcends the world?

Nothing more than that.

Originally, Lu Bu thought that these worldly people had some strength.

The result was that Lu Bu was greatly disappointed.

Lu Bu put away Fang Tian's painted halberd and looked at Gao Shun: "General Gao, are you okay?"

Gao Shun shook his head; "It's okay, thanks to General Lu who came in time."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid the general will have to take action at all costs to capture these two people."

Gao Shun glanced at Liang Tong and the two of them who were lying on the ground and said.

If Lu Bu couldn't show up in time just now, Gao Shun would have no choice but to use taboo means to take action.

If that were the case, the result would definitely be to kill a thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses.

Lu Bu heard this and said, "As soon as I received your Majesty's order, I rushed here without stopping."

"These people who have joined the world are not ordinary people."

"Now, there are many such people in the world. General Gao, you should be more careful in the future."

Although Lu Bu looked down upon Liang Tong's strength.

But in his heart, Lu Bu still had to admit that Liang Tong and the others were not weak in strength.

In this great Zhou Dynasty, there are few people who can match them.

Of course, he, Lu Bu, is excepted.

If Gao Shun takes action at all costs, he can indeed capture these two people.

But the price paid is absolutely unimaginable.

Therefore, Lu Bu had to remind Gao Shun to be more careful.

After all, Lu Bu came to Beidu just to capture Liang Tong and there was no way he could stay in Beidu.

The future safety of Beidu City still depends on Gao Shun and the others.

"Don't worry, General Lu. You will be more careful in the future."

Gao Shun nodded. He had also received news from the court and knew that many people like Liang Tong and others had joined the world.

The surrounding Beidi prisoners who were originally in turmoil have also been suppressed by the trapped camp and the palace guards.

…

Jinluan Palace.

Early Dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The civil and military officials walked along both sides of the royal road and entered the Golden Palace in order according to the size of their official positions.

After all the civil and military officials returned to their posts, Zhou Chen stepped on the golden royal road and ascended to the court.

"Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."

All civil and military officials knelt down and saluted.

"Plain body."

Zhou Chen sat on the dragon throne, looking at the civil and military officials in the court, just like a tiger lying on a barren hill.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All civil and military officials stood up.

"When there is something going on, we will start, and when there is nothing going on, we will retreat."

The shrill voice of the inner chamber guard resounded throughout the Jinluan Palace.

Cao Zhengchun did not go to court with Zhou Chen today because Zhou Chen only gave him three days to deal with the killer building.

Therefore, Cao Zhengchun has left Luoyang.

As soon as the inner servant and factory guard finished speaking, the Minister of the Ministry of War came out of the queue, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"speak."

Zhou Chen slowly spit out one word.

"Your Majesty, all the private soldiers in the world have been collected. There are millions of them. These private soldiers are all mixed together. Some of them can only be regarded as servants and cannot be called soldiers at all."

"In addition to supplementing some of the Shenwu Guards, these private soldiers should be arranged. Your Majesty also needs to decide how to arrange the remaining private soldiers."

The Minister of War announced loudly.

As the patron king's order to collect private soldiers from wealthy families in the world was completed, the Minister of War had a headache.

The number of these private soldiers is large, exceeding one million.

Moreover, these private soldiers were mixed together, and some of them could not be regarded as soldiers at all, but could only be regarded as servants.

How to place so many private soldiers has become a problem for the Ministry of War.

After hearing this, Zhou Chen thought for a moment and said, "The border troops from all directions have gone through several battles, and the casualties are quite high."

"In addition to supplementing part of the Shenwu Guards, these private soldiers can add those who are suitable as soldiers to the border armies on all sides."

"As for those servants who are not suitable to serve as soldiers..."

Having said this, Zhou Chen pondered for a moment and said, "All these people can be handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs and registered as citizens. Those who do not have land can be given land, so that they can become ordinary people!"

Zhou Chen remembered that those wealthy families that had been wiped out before had obtained a lot of land.

Especially the seven aristocratic families like the Yuan family in Runan and the Zheng family in Rongyang. After the imperial court exterminated them, they obtained a large amount of land.

These lands have not yet been disposed of by the imperial court, and are just being used for farming by these landless servants.

After receiving instructions from Emperor Zhou Chen, the Minister of War knew what to do and retreated.

Next, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other ministers also stood up one by one, recounting some of the problems they encountered and waiting for His Majesty's decision.

In this way, the Great Zhou Dynasty went on in an orderly and slow manner.

More than an hour later, no one in the court's civil and military officials came out.

Zhou Chen looked at the civil and military officials in the main hall and said, "My dear friends, do you have anything else to do?"

"I am no longer waiting..."

Zhou Chen put his right hand on the armrest of the dragon chair and said slowly, "Since all my dear friends are fine, I have something to say."

"I received news that Xun Yu was assassinated in Langye."

What?

Xun Yu was assassinated in Langye?

When the civil and military officials heard this, their expressions changed.

Who is Xun Yu?

This is the Minister of Household Affairs, an important minister of the imperial court, and a close confidant of His Majesty.

Who dared to kill Xun Yu because of his ambition?

"Moreover, officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs who went to various places to investigate the land grabs of wealthy families were also assassinated, and three of them were killed."

Zhou Chen glanced at the civil and military officials and said.

This time, after hearing this, all the civil and military officials looked shocked.

No one expected that not only Xun Yu would be assassinated, but other officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs who were outside were also assassinated, and three people were killed.

This simply shocked the civil and military officials.

You know, over the years, few people have dared to assassinate court officials so blatantly.

Even before, when the imperial court was at sunset, almost no one dared to do this.

After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, everyone knows this.

Once you assassinate an official of the imperial court, you are provoking the imperial court and becoming an enemy of the imperial court. The gain outweighs the loss.

But now, someone actually dared to assassinate court officials so blatantly, and also killed three officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Even Xun Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, dared to do it. How could this not shock all the officials?

"First, the patron king was intercepted and killed thirty miles outside the city when he was returning to Luoyang. The patron king was seriously injured."

"Now, Xun Yu and Hubu officials were assassinated one after another, and three Hubu officials were killed."

"This is someone who is dissatisfied with the imperial court and my will."

Zhou Chen's voice echoed in Baiguan's ears, making Baiguan's heart tighten.

Civil and military officials are not fools, and they can naturally understand the meaning of the emperor Zhou Chen's words.

It's obvious.

The emperor suspected that a wealthy family was behind the assassination.

Some officials quietly glanced at the Minister of Justice.

Langye is the territory of the Wang family. Xun Yu, the Minister of Household Affairs, was assassinated in Langye. The first person to be suspected was probably the Langye Wang family.

At this moment, the Minister of Punishment also had his heart in his throat.

He was really afraid that if Xun Yu was assassinated in Langye, the emperor would be suspicious of his family.

If that's the case, then the Wang family will be in big trouble.

Zhou Chen glanced at the civil and military officials, and finally his eyes rested on the Minister of Punishment: "Wang Yangming."

"I'm here."

The Minister of Punishment was startled and stood up immediately.

Zhou Chen looked at Wang Yangming and said, "You are the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Although I have asked Dongchang to investigate this matter, you, the Ministry of Punishment, cannot do nothing."

"Your Criminal Department must also send out capable personnel to arrest those killers, track down the culprits behind them, and uncover for me all these madmen who are so bold and dare to assassinate court officials."

This time a court official was assassinated, so naturally Zhou Chen couldn't leave the Ministry of Punishment alone.

After all, the Criminal Department is the official department of the imperial court that handles important cases and tracks down the murderers.

"I obey the decree."

The Minister of Punishment immediately bowed to receive the order.

"Regarding the assassination of the Ministry of Revenue official, the local government has not reported it yet. You can go to Dongchang to find out first."

Zhou Chen said to the Minister of Punishment again.

The news from Dongchang was much faster than the formal channels of the imperial court. The news of the assassination of the Ministry of Revenue official has not yet been sent back to the imperial court.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Minister of Punishment bowed again.

"Retreat from the court."

Afterwards, Zhou Chen said nothing more, stood up and left the Jinluan Hall.

…

Langxie.

Wang family.

In the meeting hall.

The head of the Wang family sat on the main seat, and below him sat more than a dozen senior members of the Wang family.

The head of the Wang family looked nervously at the dozen or so elders present below, and said in a deep voice, "Let me ask you again, does Xun Yu's assassination have anything to do with any of you?"

"If it has anything to do with any of you, tell me immediately and don't hide it from everyone."

"Otherwise, it will bring big trouble to the Wang family."

The head of the Wang family glanced at everyone, his face extremely serious and serious.

This matter is no small matter. If it were done before, with the energy of the Wang family, there would be no need to be so nervous.

But things are different now. The imperial court is no longer what it used to be, and it is very powerful.

Xun Yu, the Minister of Household Affairs, was assassinated in Langye, so the first person to be suspected by the court must be his Wang family.

Who said Langxie was the realm of his Wang family?

Therefore, the head of the Wang family must determine whether this matter has anything to do with their Wang family.

If it doesn't matter, it's easy to say whatever you want.

But if it really has something to do with the Wang family, then the trouble will be big.

The dozen or so senior members of the Wang family present looked at each other and said nothing.

One of the senior elders spoke up and said, "Chief, this matter has nothing to do with us."

"We are not fools. Even if we really want to touch Xun Yu, we would not choose to do it right in front of our home in Langye."

"Who doesn't know that if you do this, the first person to be suspected by the court is our Wang family."

The words of this high-ranking elder made several other elders nod in agreement.

"Yes! Patriarch, this matter has nothing to do with us."

"However, if Xun Yu is assassinated in Langye, our Wang family will definitely bear the brunt and will be suspected by the court."

"That's right, Langye is the territory of our Wang family. Xun Yu was assassinated here. Our Wang family was the first to be suspected. I don't know whose handiwork this was. Isn't this a trap for our Wang family?"

The expressions on the faces of several senior senior officials were very ugly.

Because of the series of actions taken by the imperial court against the wealthy families during this period, the relationship between the imperial court and the wealthy families has become somewhat tense.

Langye is the territory of the Wang family, and the Wang family is the existence of the three major aristocratic families.

Xun Yu was assassinated in Langye. Didn't this spark a fire between the imperial court and the Wang family?

The head of the Royal Family who was in charge was visibly relieved when he heard the words of these senior clan elders: "It's fine that this matter has nothing to do with us, the Wang Family."

"As for the court's suspicion, that's not important. His Majesty in the palace is not an ordinary person. He knows it very well."

"As long as it has nothing to do with our Wang family, then Dongchang won't be able to find out about the Wang family."

The head of the royal family felt a lot more relaxed.

As long as this matter has nothing to do with the Wang family.

What he was afraid of was that this matter had something to do with members of the Wang family.

If that were the case, with Dongchang's ability, he would definitely be able to trace the Wang family.

At that time, the Wang family may really be in catastrophe.

"Clan leader, I heard that the person who assassinated Xun Yu was someone from Killer House."

"Not only Xun Yu, but also the patron king was intercepted and killed by the killer building thirty miles outside Luoyang City. Even the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were killed by the killer building."

"This killer building is quite courageous. They were encircled and suppressed by the imperial court more than 20 years ago."

"They still dare to act so unscrupulously. Aren't they afraid of another encirclement and suppression by the imperial court?"

A high-ranking elder said with a frown.

Naturally, such a big thing as the assassination of the patron king and the household official could not be hidden from these top aristocratic families.

At the first time, these top aristocratic families received the news one after another.

The head of the Wang family shook his head and said, "I don't know if Killer Tower is afraid of the imperial court's encirclement and suppression, but Killer Tower is in big trouble."

"According to the behavior of His Majesty in the palace, he will definitely not let Killer Tower go."

"And the people behind this are probably going to be in trouble."

The head of the Wang family said, his eyes flickering.

"However, these things have nothing to do with us."

"Now, the people in that place have joined the world again, this time a lot earlier, and it's a little different from before."

"This time, these worldly people are visiting various families and forces, and the young masters who came to our Wang family have extraordinary identities."

"This is an opportunity for our Wang family, but it is also a crisis."

"So, next, we must be more careful with the young masters to avoid any problems."

The head of the Wang family said solemnly.

As the top aristocratic family in the Great Zhou Dynasty, second only to the four great clans, the head of the Wang family naturally knows a little about those who join the world.

Before, when those people entered the world, they generally rarely visited various secular forces like them.

But this time is different. Those people who are worldly seem to have some purpose in visiting various forces in the Zhou Dynasty, even the Wang family is no exception.

There are also people who are worldly people visiting, but their origins are not ordinary.

This is also the reason why the head of the Wang family has repeatedly and solemnly warned these senior members of the Wang family.

"Don't worry, Patriarch, I'll understand."

The dozen or so senior members of the Wang family present here all understand what the head of the Wang family means. Since they are at the top of the Wang family, they are naturally discerning people who know the importance.
