Looking at Gan Chong's leaving figure, Lu Zhaoci sighed deeply, with a complicated expression on his face. What did Gan Chong do in Lujiang? In fact, only Lu Zhaoci himself knew all this, that is, Zu Ming

He won't understand all this. It's true that Gan Chong and Zu Ming are his disciples, but now he is no longer a general, but an emperor. The difference between a general and an emperor is that a general has

Sometimes we need partners and comrades-in-arms, but the emperor does not need them, and it is impossible to have them. The emperor must be responsible for his empire and his country. For the sake of the empire and his country, everyone will be a pawn in his hands.

Gan Chong and Zu Ming are the same. As long as one of these chess pieces endangers the overall situation, the emperor should not hesitate to eliminate him from the game and treat him as an abandoned piece.

"Send Wei Zheng." Lu Zhaoci said calmly. But the voice was heard outside the tent, and the servants went to release Wei Zheng.

Sure enough, Wei Zheng strode in after a while, without any fear or pride on his face. Lu Zhaoci looked at it for a long time. Then he shook his head, pointed at Wei Zheng and said, "You win now.

I have demoted Gan Chong, Wang Junkuo, and Zu Ming to garrison Lujiang, and my title has been demoted from Duke of State to County Marquis, Wei Zheng, now you are satisfied."

"It doesn't matter if you are dissatisfied with me, as long as you satisfy the people of the world." Although Wei Zheng raised his head, his expression softened a little.

"Okay, Wei Zheng." Lu Zhaoci pointed to Ma Zha on the side and sneered: "You are also a smart person, and you must know what happened. Cui Junsu wrote a letter to Cui Renshi and asked Cui Renshi to spread the message in Chang'an City, and then he was

Sun Wugou got it, and in a moment of fever, he reported the matter. Everyone in the world knew about it, and you also knew about it. Originally, this matter was a small matter. At that time, Liyang was not the land of the Tang Dynasty, so

The people around Liyang are not my subjects of the Tang Dynasty. War always kills people. Even if the people of Liyang are the same, why are you holding on to this matter? That's because you are also forced to do it.

It is because of the reputation of justice that you know the reason and still come to advise Wei Zheng. Is what I said the truth?"

"Hey, what your Majesty said is true." Wei Zheng nodded when he heard the words, then shook his head and said: "However, Your Majesty, Gan Chong and others must be reprimanded. Your Majesty killed Dou Jiande, this man is very prestigious in Hebei

Gao, staying here is a threat to the Tang Dynasty, so this person has to die, but if this person dies, those people in Hebei will not agree. Now Liu Heitai heard that he was planning to go home and farm.

But Xu Yuanlang and others found him again and persuaded him to raise troops again to fight against the imperial court. This is one of the examples. At that time, Xu Yuanlang was the one who persuaded Liu Heitai about the Liyang incident. Your Majesty will not deal with Gan Chong today.

, I really can’t comfort Shandong.”

"I understand what you mean. Look, haven't I dealt with Gan Chong now?" Lu Zhaoci nodded and said.

"Although your Majesty has dealt with Gan Chong, I'm afraid Gan Chong has already hated us civil servants to death." A wry smile appeared on Wei Zheng's face. Although he didn't know what kind of method Lu Zhaoci found to do this.

Gan Chong can take office with peace of mind, but one thing is for sure. Gan Chong, who was demoted, and even the generals will be estranged because of this incident. Could this be the emperor's trick? He Wei Zheng is a smart man, but who

It cannot be denied that the young man in front of him is smarter than himself, otherwise he would not be in the position he is in today.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Wang Shichong has surrendered." At this moment, a group of people suddenly broke in outside the tent, including Xiao Yu, Wei Ting, Xu Shiji, etc. All the civil servants and generals gathered under Luoyang City rushed away.

Come here, after nearly a year of hard fighting, Luoyang City was finally captured. Wang Shichong was also forced to surrender...

"This Wang Shichong finally surrendered. Hum hum. I can't spare him." Lu Zhaoci's face changed and he said viciously. Over the past year, I don't know how much energy and food was spent on the strong city of Luoyang.

With today's situation, Wang Shichong knew that he could not withstand the Tang Dynasty's troops, but he insisted on occupying Luoyang and not leaving. Not only did the three armies of the Tang Dynasty suffer, but also the people in Luoyang City. It is conceivable that losing the outside world

What was Luoyang like with its supply of food and grass at this moment? When he thought of this, Lu Zhaoci wanted to drag Wang Shichong out and behead him in public.

"Your Majesty, since the other party has surrendered, it must be treated as a surrender. If you kill the surrender, I'm afraid it will bring bad reputation to Your Majesty." When Xiao Yu saw Lu Zhaoci's face full of murderous intent, he couldn't help but persuade him.

"I'm afraid that the people in Luoyang City are just thinking about how to kill Wang Shichong, a thief. I imagine that guy Yang Tong has been waiting on the ground for a long time." Lu Zhaoci sneered: "This is a good fight.

Fight, if you can't beat him, then surrender. Not only can you survive, but you can also get generous rewards and keep a wealthy family. There is no such good thing in this world. I even killed Dou Jiande, can't I kill Wang Shichong?

”.

"This?" Xiao Yu looked stunned, thought for a moment and then said: "Dou Jiande did not surrender after being captured. This is very different from Wang Shichong. If you don't punish the surrendered officials, please think twice."

"Forget it! What Mr. Xiao said is true. In this case, let him surrender! Wang Shichong who lost Luoyang is not worth my efforts." Lu Zhaoci thought for a moment. Fang nodded and said with a bitter smile:

"Dou Jiande is kind and righteous, so I will kill him. Wang Shichong is cruel, but I can't kill him. It's really interesting. According to the etiquette, I will make him a marquis!"

"Your Majesty, I think that after Wang Shichong surrenders, I can make him the Marquis of Shu and let him go to Chengdu." Wei Ting suddenly raised his hands and said: "Chengdu has high mountains and far rivers. I heard that Chen Guangrui, the son-in-law of the old general Yin Kaishan, was appointed by your Majesty.

That champion. When this man took office, he actually encountered a flood in Jiangzhou. I suggested that troops should be sent to escort him to show your majesty's mercy." Everyone's expressions changed after hearing this, and even Xiao Yu looked at Wei Ting in surprise. This guy

Are your brains burned out? Just now Lu Zhaoci said he wanted to kill Wang Shichong. Well, now, not only did he not kill Wang Shichong, but he also made him the Marquis of Shu and sent troops to escort him.

"If we send troops to escort, who should we send? Should we send you, Mr. Wei?" Lu Zhaoci glared and said dissatisfied.

"I recommend someone who will definitely send Wang Shichong to Chengdu safely." A smile appeared on Wei Ting's face, and he cupped his hands and said: "Zhonglang General Zuo Wuwei, the new Dingzhou governor Dugu Xiude, this person is loyal to the king, and he has been loyal to the king for a long time.

He wanted to make great achievements, but when he heard that there were many bandits in Shu, he begged me to give him a chance, and I thought this was an opportunity."

Dugu Xiude, Wei Zheng frowned slightly, but Xiao Yu's eyes lit up and he looked at Wei Ting deeply. Who is Dugu Xiude? He is one of the members of the Dugu Clan. His father is called Duguji.

At first, he served Yang Dong, the king of Yue, in Luoyang. Later, Yang Dong secretly murdered Wang Shichong, which was known by Wang Shichong. He killed Duguji's family of more than 100 people. Only Dugu Xiude's brother was still in Chang'an, so his life was not in danger. At this time, Wei Ting asked Dugu to kill him.

If Xiude came to escort Wang Shichong, wouldn't he be afraid that Dugu Xiude would kill Wang Shichong?

"The Dugu clan has a feud with Wang Shichong. At this time, let Dugu Xiude escort Wang Shichong. This Dugu Xiude will not take the opportunity to kill Wang Shichong!" Lu Zhaoci rolled his eyes, with a trace of hesitation on his face.

"Your Majesty, Dugu Xiude understands the difference between public and private. Presumably he will not do such a thing." Wei Ting said with a smile: "What's more, Your Majesty has already conferred the title of Wang Shichong on the throne.

He is the Marquis of Shu, how could Dugu Xiude have the courage to kill him!"….

"Forget it! In that case, let Dugu Xiude lead two thousand soldiers and horses into Shu to suppress the bandits, and escort Wang Shichong by the way!" Lu Zhaoci thought for a while and said: "Order someone to go to Dingzhou to pass the order! I will do my best tomorrow.

The army of the Tang Dynasty replaced the soldiers of the Eastern Capital to guard the city. Yi Zhen ordered Cong Xingluocang to bring food and distribute it to the people in the city tomorrow. I have been trapped by my army for nearly a year, and I don’t know how many people have starved to death.

Everyone. Wei Ting, order the big businessmen in Luoyang City that the price of grain in Luoyang City must be the same as this time a year ago, and no hoarding is allowed. Once discovered, not only will their property be confiscated, but they themselves must also be dealt with strictly. In

During this time in Luoyang, you can temporarily serve as Dongdu Ling!"

"I obey the order." Upon seeing this, all the generals saluted and then retreated.

"Wei Ting, you have a good idea! You actually asked Dugu Xiude to escort Wang Shichong. Are you really not afraid that Dugu Xiude, a reckless man, will kill Wang Shichong? You know, once Wang Shichong dies, Dugu Xiude will also want to

Damn it, I heard that Dugu Xiude and you are good friends! Are you just plotting against him like this?"

"Mr. Xiao, I am helping the Dugu family to avenge their annihilation! How can you say that I am harming him?" Wei Ting said with a cold snort: "What's more, what your Majesty said is absolutely right.

Dou Jiande's benevolence and righteousness spread throughout Hebei, from the generals to the common people. Who doesn't care about Dou Jiande's benevolence and righteousness? For the sake of the country and the country, His Majesty had to kill Dou Jiande. Huh, even Dou Jiande can kill people like him, not to mention Wang Shichong.

This kind of person. If this kind of person stays in the world, that would be the greatest irony in the world! I do this just for the sake of Your Majesty. Humph, even if Dugu Xiude knows me, he will only be grateful to me.

.How can you resent me?"

"Hmph, dog bites dog, it's a mouthful of hair." Luo Shixin on the side saw it clearly, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and glanced at the two of them viciously. The punishment for Gan Chong and others had already been announced, and they were demoted from Duke to County Marquis.

Not only did it surprise everyone, but more importantly, it made many generals even more angry at these civil servants who only knew how to show off their words.

"Don't be presumptuous." Xu Shiji glared at Luo Shixin and snorted coldly: "Your Majesty is here, when will it be our turn to make the decision? Thunder, rain and dew are all your grace. Gan Lang is young and in a high position.

A high position is not a good thing. After this incident, it can sharpen its edges, and maybe it will be beneficial to him in the future." Xu Shiji is cautious by nature, so he can naturally see the meaning of Xiao Yu's death to protect Gan Chong. This

At that time, Lu Zhaoci demoted him to the capital and prevented him from getting involved in the affairs of the East Palace. This was also a kind of protection.

"We are entering Luoyang City tomorrow. You'd better protect His Majesty. God knows whether Wang Shichong really surrendered." Cheng Yaojin glared at Xiao Yu and other civil servants with dissatisfaction, and the disdain in his eyes was even more clear.

now.

The next day, the sky was bright, and the morning sun rose slowly, and finally crossed the horizon, shining on the entire Luoyang City, which was extremely majestic. Outside Luoyang City, there were thousands of troops standing under the city, under the bright yellow banner.

, Lu Zhaoci was wearing golden armor and looked at the Xiongcheng in front of him calmly. This was a Xiongcheng that Yang Guang spent more than ten years building. It was designed by the great craftsman Yu Wenkai himself and was no less than Chang'an. On his right

, there are generals Xu Shiji, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin and others, each wearing armor and majestic, looking like the generals of the dynasty. On the right of Lu Zhaoci, there are Xiao Yu, Wei Ting, Cui Junsu, or wearing red.

Wearing purple, or wearing light red, etc., each of them has an extraordinary appearance, showing the demeanor of a famous minister of a great country.

"Luoyang is magnificent. No wonder Yang Guang abandoned Chang'an and lived in Luoyang. But this place is majestic and a good place to make the capital of the country." Riding on the horse, Lu Zhaoci couldn't help but admire...

Cui Junsu next to him heard the words and couldn't help but cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this Luoyang City was built by Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty for more than ten years. It is majestic and majestic. There are canals in the territory that lead directly from north to south. It is surrounded by eight passes. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The world is really the best location for a capital. Your Majesty, now that the world has been decided and unified, why don't you move the capital to Luoyang and rule the world. You will be able to establish a foundation for eternity, and the Tang Dynasty will surely last for thousands of generations."

Before Lu Zhaoci could speak, Wei Ting on the other side said in a strange tone: "Master Cui, don't forget how long it took Yang Guangcai to die in the former Sui Dynasty. Your Majesty, I believe that there is only one capital in the world, and that is Chang'an. Chang'an

It is the head of the world, overlooking the world, there is Tongguan natural barrier, and there are 800 miles of Qinchuan. It was the place where Emperor Qin and the great ancestor set the world, and the place where dragon energy gathered. The one who can be the capital of the world is Chang'an. Luoyang is

This is the place where the Fourth War was fought, not the capital of the country. At most, it can be used as a companion capital. If your majesty has free time, just come over and have some fun. You must not use this place as the capital of the country."

"Haha, I just said it casually. There is no need for the two lovers to argue." Lu Zhaoci heard the argument between the two and burst into laughter on his face. Both of them have selfish motives. Once Lu Zhaoci

If Lu Zhaoci moves the capital to Luoyang, I'm afraid there will be another round of turmoil in the court. This is not what Lu Zhaoci wants. So he simply laughed it off. It's a pity that this is what he thought, but Cui Junsu changed this sentence

The words stayed in my heart.
