Chang Yu stood at the door until Zhu Chuanji and the two disappeared before turning around. He looked at Zhu Cixiang next to him and sighed slightly: "What do you think of your cousin?"
"I don't like him." Zhu Cixi was very direct: "I can't say I like or dislike him, but from the bottom of my heart I don't like him, and his son."
"I don't like it either." Chang Yu sat down, picked up the teacup, and looked at the stove in a daze. Zhu Cixiang tilted his head and looked at him: "But I see you are very happy talking with him."
"Do you still remember what I said before?" Chang Yu smiled bitterly, and Zhu Cihong was startled: "Dogs see dogs, and people see people?"
Chang Yu nodded: "Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. Although I don't like this person, I have to socialize with him."
"It's just because we owed him a favor before, and then we asked him to help us make money, right?" Zhu Cixi understood clearly, and Chang Yu nodded: "Everyone in the world comes for profit. If there is no profit, why bother stepping on this... "He wanted to say shit, but then he thought about it. After all, the royal family can't speak without hesitation. When it reached Emperor Chongzhen's ears, it became unreasonable, so he chuckled: "It was the same for that generation of kings. If I hadn't benefited from it, I'm afraid I can't even get through the gate of the palace, let alone hope to be a guest."
"I have learned a lesson," Zhu Cixiang sighed: "These are things that cannot be learned in the palace."
"Report to the Governor, General Yang is asking for an audience." At this time, someone outside the door came to report. Chang Yu said, "Let him in." After a while, Yang Zhenwei came, with more than ten generals behind him, all of whom were members of the Datong Army. They were the mainstay of the party, but these people were not allowed to enter the palace, but were waiting outside the palace. Their expressions were extremely serious, and they were completely different from the relaxed ones at the luncheon.
Yang Zhenwei respectfully handed over a roster with both hands. Chang Yu took it and looked through it carefully, sometimes frowning and sometimes sneering. Yang Zhenwei was too nervous to breathe loudly. Zhu Cixiang wanted to take a look but finally held back. At this moment, there were a few more A Jinyiwei and Fanzi came in, holding several brochures in their hands.
After a while, Chang Yu flipped through Yang Zhenwei's booklet and threw it on the table next to him, then turned to the one sent by Jin Yiwei.
It was warm as spring inside the hall, Yang Zhenwei was restless, and the cold wind outside the hall was biting, but the dozen or so generals were noisy like ants on a hot pot.
After a while, Chang Yu flipped through the book and handed it to Yang Zhenwei: "Take a look."
Yang Zhenwei quickly took it and looked through it carefully. Unknowingly, his face became more solemn: "Master Governor, this..." After he returned from Datong as the chief military officer, he began to rectify military affairs. However, there was an undercurrent in the Datong military. Although Jiang Yu died, the military power fell into the hands of the original generals, but Yang Zhenwei had been fighting abroad in the past few months. Although he was already the chief military officer when he came back, his foundation was too shallow, and the military power was almost empty. What's more, There is also Daiwang operating secretly.
But Yang Zhenwei is not a softie who can be manipulated by others. Historically, he dared to kill Jiang Yu, which shows that he is also a ruthless and courageous master.
Okay, if you can't do it clearly, then you'll come here secretly. If you can't do it now, just wait for reinforcements. Yang Zhenwei was single-handedly promoted by Chang Yu, so he thinks he is from the Dongchang faction. In addition, he and Zhou Yuji once fought thousands of miles away and formed a friendship. It's still more or less Those who are confident, although the little eunuch is far away, Zhou Yuji is in Taiyuan, and now he has a prominent status as the general of the Zhu Kingdom, Ping Xibo! He is a great god that ordinary people cannot afford to offend.
Yang Zhenwei knew that his replacement of Jiang Yu as the chief military officer had caused dissatisfaction among many people, and even wanted to kill him. However, because he had two backers, Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji, he knew that those people would have to think carefully if they wanted to take action, and He would not stretch his neck and wait for death, so he secretly collected a lot of dirty information about the generals by rectifying military affairs. Whoever took bribes and embezzled would be paid free money, whoever had private soldiers, and whoever used public weapons for personal use... The list just given to Chang Yu was .
What Chang Yu showed him was Jin Yiwei's collection, which was more detailed and involved, and even listed Yang Zhenwei's dirty information one by one.
Chang Yu smiled, reached for Yang Zhenwei's roster, stood up, walked to the stove and threw it in. Yang Zhenwei changed his face: "Master Du Gong..."
Chang Yu waved his hand, then picked up a pen and crossed out a few pairs of names on the roster sent by Jinyiwei. He said to the Jinyiwei next to him: "Send to the Minister of History."
Yang Zhenwei was even more surprised: "Master Du Gong, these people are..."
"This is a deal. We can only do this now if you don't have a seat on your butt. When you have a seat on your butt in the future, you can take it back to the governor with interest!" Chang Yu's words were full of lies and truth, and he crossed out the words. A few people were indeed the ones protecting the king, but the prerequisite was that they would either spit out the food or make up for it on the king's behalf. The reason why he said this was to ask Yang Zhenwei to do him a big favor.
————
Yang Zhenwei was really moved, and knelt down on one knee: "My Lord Governor's kindness in supporting and reinventing me will be deeply remembered in my heart. From then on, I will only look forward to it." He gritted his teeth and said, "I will repay you twice as much for today's humiliation!"
"As long as you have the will, you can do whatever you want in the future. If the sky falls, I will still have the governor to support you." Chang Yu smiled faintly and stretched out his hand to help Yang Zhenwei up. He said this clearly to Yang Zhenwei, but in fact he was warning the palace. Those people outside.
"Wang Jinchao, come in," Chang Yu called to the door. Wang Jinchao hurriedly entered the hall, knelt down on one knee and saluted, his face turned blue, I don't know whether he was cold or frightened.
Chang Yu coughed lightly and said, "Your name is Jin Chao, but what you do means that there will be no way to the court, but the door of the imperial edict is open for you."
"Beizhi is guilty, Beizhi deserves to die!" Wang Jinchao put his head on the ground: "I hope that Lord Du Gong will raise his noble hand and give Beizhi another chance." He was like a mirror in his heart, knowing that there was no point in speaking harshly at this time. Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Yang Zhenwei, an old rival, were searching for information on him, and they would definitely not escape.
"You are guilty, and I can kill you, but I will spare you once today. You should also know the reasons and be sure of what you should do in the future. If you do it again, I will not give you a second chance." Chang Yu sneered, Wang Jinchao was Jiang Yu's man, and he was also the king's man. Of course, he was also the man who opposed Yang Zhenwei.
He is also one of the people the king wants to protect.
Although Chang Yu made a deal with Dai Wang, what should be beaten must be beaten. This patrol will use thunderous means to rectify military affairs, but it also leaves room for leeway. As long as most of the people who have not committed crimes in recent months can forget the blame, there is really no tolerance. Only in Xuanfu!
According to the information collected by Jinyiwei, adhering to the principle of letting bygones be bygones, Wang Jinchao's crimes are negligible. In addition, Chang Yu was the king's guarantor, so he made a favor. Moreover, he had the same idea, and Yang Zhenwei's family could not be allowed to dominate.
But there is one thing he wants these people to keep in mind. If they do it again, no one will protect them!
Wang Jinchao raised his head and secretly glanced at Yang Zhenwei next to him, feeling mixed emotions in his heart and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Then Chang Yu called several generals into the palace to reprimand them. Some of these people were people who protected the king on behalf of the king, and some were people who worked for Yang Zhenwei. They all yelled and cursed. Although these people were scared, they were relieved. This time they could be saved their lives. No need to go to jail.
As for those who were not called today, they will be in danger after tomorrow. From being raped to being raped, to being imprisoned or even losing their heads. Those people either have no one to bail them out, or they cannot be bailed out and will not be bailed out, but the prerequisite is that they are all guilty.
Although Datong will not collapse as a whole like Xuanfu, a few chickens must be killed to scare the monkeys.
It was late at night, and the promotion reception in another part of the palace had not yet ended. Yang Zhenwei quietly left the palace with a group of generals, leaving the two of them kneeling at the door of the palace.
Wang Fuchen and Wu Mushan.
"Gathering people together to gamble, fighting together, teasing women of the people, bullying the people...Wang Fuchen, you are tired of living." Chang Yu shouted in the hall and slammed the table on the table, which frightened Wang Fuchen outside the hall and quickly kowtowed: "You are wronged, Superintendent My lord, I am wronged... spare my life, my lord, please spare my little one's life..."
"There's nothing wrong with gambling, but if you don't pay back your gambling debts, you'll be beaten. You're a cancerous rat. If you stay in the army, you'll be a disaster. Come on, take them out and chop them down!" Chang Yu stood up and shouted fiercely, and Wang Fuchen fell down. He wailed: "Master Du Gong, spare your life, spare my life, I am willing to work as a cow or a horse for you!"
"Lord Du Gong, please spare your life. I spared General Wang's life. I will also do things for you." Wu Mu Shan also quickly kowtowed to beg for mercy. Chang Yu said "Oh" and walked up to him: "You are very loyal to him."
"General Wang saved the villain's life," Wu Mushan said honestly, and quickly kowtowed to plead for Wang Fuchen.
"You are a loyal person who knows how to repay kindness." Chang Yu nodded slightly: "This governor respects loyal people the most. Since you asked for mercy..." He glanced at Wang Fuchen again: "I don't know if I can save your life. What’s the use?”
"The young one can work for the Governor..." Wang Fuchen said quickly but was cut off by Chang Yu: "Why does this Governor lack such a thing like you?"
"Then, the little one can go kill the Tatars and the thieves to atone for his sins." Wang Fuchen was anxious and begged: "As long as the Governor gives me a chance, I can be like General Gao Jie. I will be the same as him." A thief..."
"Bah, you are worthy of being compared with Gao Jie. Do you know how many thieves he has killed in the past six months, how much lost territory he has recovered, how many achievements he has made, how many fucking times have you made bets in the past six months, and how many times have you lost? Money, how can you compare with him!" Chang Yu shouted angrily, and Wang Fuchen hugged his leg: "As long as Lord Du Gong gives me a chance, I will definitely be able to do what General Gao can do!"
"Just you? Seriously?" Chang Yu sneered.
"Take it seriously, take it seriously, if you lie, it won't be too late for the governor to kill me!" Wang Fuchen saw hope and kowtowed violently. His forehead was broken and bloody, and his face looked extremely ferocious. Wu Mushan next to him also kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Okay, I will give you a chance. In half a year, if you kill more than a hundred enemies, you will be promoted to level three. If you fail, I will kill you again!"
"Thank you Lord Governor for your life. Wang Fuchen was overjoyed and kowtowed." Chang Yu kicked him away: "Of course you can also run away overnight and see if the Governor of Heaven and Earth can catch you."
Wang Fuchen was startled: "Why do you want to run away? There are only a hundred heads. If we want to start a war, we can kill up to three small ones!"
"Hey, you're so awesome!" Chang Yu snorted coldly: "There's no point in talking big, show me your real skills!"
"Then just watch it, Lord Governor!" Wang Fuchen knew that he had escaped the disaster, and he no longer panicked and had the confidence to speak: "I heard that Xi'an will be attacked soon, please fight!"
Wang Fuchen escaped death and Wu Mushan left the palace and returned to the military camp. Chang Yu in the palace was holding a tea cup and looking at the fire in a daze. Zhu Cixiang frowned: "He is Jiang Yu's man. According to your dream, he followed Jiang Yu and surrendered to the intruder first. He made a lot of efforts to surrender, why not kill him?"
Chang Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Not all the thieves and those who surrender to the Qing Dynasty will be killed, but the useless ones will be killed! This Wang Fuchen is of great use."
Some people would say that Chang Yu had a double standard. Didn't he hate those officials and generals who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty? He would kill them as soon as they were caught. He had to kill them no matter how hard he tried. Why did Wang Fuchen continue to surrender without killing him over and over again?
Just because he is useful!
And looking at what Chang Yu did, he did hate those weak-minded surrenders and generals, and he did kill some, but those he killed were all weak-boned, bad-mannered, incompetent and useless. Such dissatisfaction Why kill and keep it?
As for those who were useful, he had never killed any of them, not Ma Ke, not Tang Tong, not Wu Sangui, but Zu Dashou still thought of ways to get them back, just because they were all useful!
It's obvious that there is no one available, and it's obvious that these people can be of great use, so wouldn't it be stupid to kill them.
Besides, if you really want to kill, can't you just kill after you're done with it, like Liu Zeqing did.
