Turbulent Times Chapter 989: Scruples and hidden worries


On the official road to Lujia Town, Wang Junlin was surrounded by Xiang Xiang, Li Xuanba, Luo Shixin, Chunqiu Nu, Chong Yao, Chunqiu Guzhu, and more than twenty masters led by Zhang Tiangang. One expert was besieged and killed by Lu's thieves, four of them were injured, and Wang Junlin arranged for them to go to Rongcheng County to recuperate. In addition, there are more than two hundred soldiers led by Shan Xiongxin. All travel on horseback.

Five thousand naval officers and soldiers followed. Wang Junlin wanted to speed up, but these people had no horses and walked on foot. They couldn't get up faster, so he had to send Guo'er to lead a dozen experts to Lu's house ahead of time. Town to investigate.

At this time, it is already Chinese time, the winter sun gently shines on the official road, shines on people's hearts, and then brushes on the roof of the carriage, as if to wipe away the hearts of the people sitting inside cold.

Wang Junlin and his party had a carriage with Lu Youwei in it. On the one hand, it was because Lu Erye couldn't ride a horse, and on the other hand, it was not suitable for people to see him and the prefect accompanying him at this time, so Wang Junlin found a carriage. The carriage let him ride.

At this time, Wang Junlin also got into the carriage, and Lu Youwei was separated by a short table.

Lu Youwei's mood is extremely complicated at this time. On the one hand, he is faintly happy. After all, he is going to become the suzerain of the Lu family. He is no longer the original Lu family. He killed his nephew Lu Jianheng with his own hands, and watched with his own eyes the complete defeat of Lu's biggest 3,000 armored cavalry, not even a single person escaped. It is too complicated and painful to bring more than 5,000 people to destroy their ancestral home.

Furthermore, Lu Youwei was always worried about Wang Junlin crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. Not only did he not support him to become the suzerain of the Lu family after the severe injury, but he also directly killed all the people in the Lu family's ancestral house and exterminated the Lu family.

Thoughts turned quickly in his mind, Lu Youwei sighed, and said slowly: "I don't know how to deal with us, Mr. Lu."

What Lu Youwei was worried about was not unreasonable. To deal with the Lu family was the established policy of the Sui Emperor, and even the strong wish of the Emperor. Wang Junlin was just a specific executor. Wang Junlin wanted to preserve the severely injured Lu Shi, how will he explain to His Majesty the Emperor, or how to persuade His Majesty the Emperor.

How could Wang Junlin not know the worries in Lu Youwei's heart, and said with a smile: "What does Second Lord Lu think I should do with Lu?"

After Lu Youwei pondered, he thought about the wording carefully, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty wants to get rid of the Lu family, but he hasn't set a timetable. With the Lu family's thousand-year power, even if it takes a few years for your lord to get rid of the Lu family." Your Majesty won, and His Majesty can explain it to you, so what the old man means is that the adults may as well eat Lu Shi slowly into his mouth with enough patience. The old man knows that the adults want to control Fan Yangjun in his hands. The Lu family has become the real arm of the lord, and whatever the lord does, even... even if it is at odds with the court and His Majesty the emperor, he will definitely support him with all his strength."

Wang Junlin's face remained unchanged, but he secretly praised him in his heart. This Lu Youwei has a good mind, and the words he said are also very convincing, and he may be faintly aware of his own ambitions.

He nodded and did not express his opinion, but said: "Second Master Lu said very well, why not continue."

Lu Youwei knows that persuading a person is nothing more than coercion and lure. Just now he was a coercion, and he will naturally coerce next time. Of course, the so-called coercion with his capital at this time is just an analysis of some powerful relationships: "The old man thinks, my lord Don't be too hasty to attack the Lu family. Now that the lord has the upper hand, we should focus on Huairou, so as not to make too much noise, mess up Fanyang County, and spread to the court and His Majesty's ears, which is not good for the lord."

Wang Junlin stared at Lu Youwei for a while, and said coldly: "You exist to prevent troubles from happening. If you are still alive, troubles still appear, what use is there for you."

When Lu Youwei heard the words, he felt a chill in his heart, but he still bit the bullet and said: "The three thousand black armors hidden in the back mountain are now destroyed by the adults, but the guards and male servants in Lu's ancestral house took up swords and guns There were no less than a thousand private soldiers, and the population of Lujia Town was no less than a county seat, with more than 30,000 people. These people listened to Lu's words very much. There are two other people above the rank, the old man and a younger brother who is a general in the south of the Yangtze River who is a general of Ying Yang Lang, and if these eleven people know that their clan has been wiped out, how will they deal with it? Everyone may cause trouble. "

Wang Junlin sneered and said, "What do you think the existence of the Lanyiwei Mansion is for? These people have long been under Lu's surveillance. As soon as the official here moves Lu's ancestral house, the people who are Lu's officials outside It will be captured by the Blue Yiwei."

Lu Youwei's body shook and he fell silent, but after a while, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Did your lord and His Majesty never consider the thoughts of other powerful and powerful nobles? Annihilating our Lu family will only make all the nobles in the world feel the same. The nobles are wary of the royal family and His Majesty, and they have been renounced since then. Your Excellency should know that most of the court and local officials are descendants of the nobles. If most of the officials in the world have a different heart, the great Sui Dynasty will definitely be shaken."

Wang Junlin's pupils shrank. Lu Youwei's words hit Wang Junlin's heart, and this is the crux of the problem that cannot be solved at the moment, at least in a short time. After the news of the Lu family spread, all the powerful and nobles in the world would put pressure on Yang Guang. Perhaps during this period of time, the imperial court's letters, memorials, and remonstrances may have been raging.

And he had to think about a problem. His treatment of the Lu clan this time was different from the Qiu clan and Guanlong Yu clan that were destroyed in his hands. The family took the initiative to provoke him, and the nobles in the world saw it, but the Lu family was different. If he killed the Lu family, he might make all the powerful and nobles feel inexplicable hatred towards him. Even he didn't want to bear such consequences.

Thought this in his heart, but Wang Junlin said calmly: "But if the Lu family raises troops to rebel, what will the world's powerful and nobles think?"

Lu Youwei said with a smile: "Even if the Lu family really rebelled, the nobles in the world would think that they were forced by you, my lord. After the county rebelled!"

Wang Junlin was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "That's right, Second Master Lu, you convinced me, I decided to keep a Lu family and let you take control."
