In Luoyang Governor's Mansion, Duan Zhixuan was sleeping soundly in the room with his newly adopted concubine in his twelfth room.
It is said that since Cheng Yaojin led his troops to Jiangnan to wipe Xiao Han's butt last year, he was sent to Luoyang by Li Shimin's imperial edict and became the guard here inexplicably.
Even the business of being a governor was taken over and he became the number one person in charge of all government and military affairs.
Regarding this appointment, not to mention other people, even Duan Zhixuan himself was a little confused! Many ministers in the court strongly opposed it, believing that Lao Duan only led troops and never took care of local affairs! And Luoyang is already in chaos, and if he messes it up again, it will definitely cause chaos and make people miserable.
However, although the opposition was loud, Li Shimin was determined not to change his appointment!
Seeing this, the ministers had no choice but to stare at Duan Zhixuan fiercely, waiting for him to mess up Luoyang, so that they could jump out and tell Xiao Lizi confidently: Look, if you don't listen to good people, you will suffer the consequences!
However, no one expected that Duan Zhixuan, who was disliked by everyone, would actually do a great job for the governor after coming to Luoyang!
In the nearly one year since he was on duty, although the people's livelihood in Luoyang has not improved by leaps and bounds, there has never been any trouble. It is much better than the previous Wude years where there would be trouble every three or five years!
So stable until the end of the year, when the censor returned to the court to report on his duties, the eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court fell to the ground!
They really couldn't understand: Why did Luoyang City, which so many civil servants and capable officials could not manage before, suddenly change its temper in Duan Zhixuan's hands? From a prickly head to a good baby? Where have those confused accounts gone? Where have those gourd cases gone?
Perhaps, even Duan Zhixuan himself could not answer this question clearly. Only Li Shimin, who had a unique vision, understood what was going on.
Luoyang, this is a city completely different from other places!
If we just talk about its political atmosphere and economic capabilities, they are not much worse than Chang'an!
When Lao Li Yuan was in power, he always wanted to appease and govern Luoyang because he valued Luoyang too much! The civil servants sent were each more refined and gentler than the other, and the results were also more miserable than the last...
He may have never thought about: Where was Luoyang before? Dongdu! In the hands of Yang Guang, it is more like the capital of a country than Chang'an!
The family and power that have been entrenched here for a long time. Tangled and intricate!
It would be strange if a civil servant with no confidence and power would not be bullied to death by those local snakes. No, it was the local bosses who bullied him to death!
Therefore, Li Shimin later valued this point.
Since the Zhenguan period, all those he sent were military generals! The simpler the mind, the better, and the more ruthless the means, the better!
Someone like Cheng Yaojin, who looks rough on the outside but is delicate on the inside, can't do it!
Only Duan Zhixuan, who is single-minded, accepts death and draws his sword at the slightest disagreement, can really suppress those with ulterior motives!
Facts have proved that Li Shimin's judgment was right!
A few days after Duan Zhixuan took office, he beheaded a bunch of people in Luoyang and hung the corpses on the city gate to expose them to the sun for three days. The monsters in Luoyang disappeared in an instant!
Under the big snow-white blade, not only the big families became honest, but even the rogue gangsters under Zhang Laohu learned to keep their tails between their legs and no longer dared to act unscrupulously.
Alas, there is really nothing we can do!
If I met another official, I might be able to reason with him and compare the consequences, but not this one!
This Lord only recognizes one thing, and that is the knife in his hand!
In Duan Zhixuan's original words: How can there be so many bullshit troubles in this world? If that doesn't work, just kill the person who caused the trouble. Wouldn't that be the end of it, and there would be no more trouble?
So with just this extremely simple move, Duan Zhixuan was invincible in Luoyang!
Some people admire him, some hate him, and even more hate him as an immortal! But there is no one who dares to show it!
Just think about the pile of corpses hanging at the gate of the city. No matter how daring you are, you won’t dare to test the speed of this stubborn brother’s knife...
Soon, the sun rose to three poles.
The bright sun outside hit his buttocks, but Duan Zhixuan in the room was still snoring loudly.
Last night was really ridiculous, now I need to quickly replenish my energy! Good brother comes tonight, don’t dare call him a joke...
Just when Duan Zhixuan fell into a deep sleep.
Outside the room, hurried footsteps sounded in the distance.
The footsteps came from far and near, and suddenly stopped when they arrived at Duan Zhixuan's bedroom. Immediately afterwards, someone was heard anxiously shouting outside the door: "Master! Master! Are you awake?"
"Why are you howling? Master, I'm not dead yet!"
In the house, Duan Zhixuan was woken up by the shouting. He reluctantly opened his eyes and shouted outside the house: "If anything happens in the city, just go to Lao Huang. I have to be busy sleeping!"
"Oh, it's not Luoyang City's business!"
The housekeeper outside was so anxious when he heard this, he climbed on the door and shouted inside: "It's Xiao Hou, Xiao Hou is here! He's at the door now!"
"What?! It's over, it's over..."
As soon as the housekeeper finished speaking outside, he heard a howl in the house!
Immediately afterwards, the door in front of him was kicked open, and a naked Duan Zhixuan rushed out of it.
"Old...Master..."
The housekeeper, who was almost knocked aside by the door panel, stared dumbly as his master ran past him. He just subconsciously shouted, but unexpectedly there was another deafening scream in the room!
It turned out that this time it was Duan Zhixuan's concubine in the twelfth room who woke up.
But when she woke up, the first thing she saw was that the door was open and there was another man standing at the door, so the frightened scream immediately resounded through the entire backyard like a demonic sound!
"Ouch! You're not even dressed yet!"
The sharp screams behind him finally reminded someone running of something.
Duan Zhixuan, who had almost rushed into the garden, was stunned for a moment, then turned around and rushed back to the room in a hurry, not forgetting to close the door with his foot.
At the door, the housekeeper, who was still a little confused, only had time to see a flash of white in the room, and the door in front of him was slammed shut.
When the door opened again, the enchanting figure inside was nowhere to be seen, leaving only Duan Zhixuan, who was wearing a coat and hurriedly walked out.
"Quick, open the middle door to greet me! Oops, why are you here so early? Didn't you say you'll arrive in the afternoon?"
While fastening the buttons on his coat, he hurriedly walked towards the door of the mansion. The annoyed Duan Zhixuan wanted to hit himself on the head a few times.
The brother came all the way to his own territory, but he was sleeping at home, and people didn't even know it when they arrived at the door!
If Lao Liu, Lao Cheng and the others knew about this, it would be strange if Tumo Xingzi didn't drown him!
