In this way, Zhu Youxiao, who was considered mean and unkind by the scholars of the world, after taking advantage of the situation to do this landmark good governance, forced the officials to take the initiative to find a way to prove that he was a benevolent monarch, and also took great pains to find all kinds of things that reflected his benevolence.It's not just the officials in the court.The folk scholars and doctors also had to rack their brains to make up some stories to give Zhu Youxiao the virtue of benevolence and filial piety.There is no way, they really can't refuse the benefits of Zhu Youxiao's good governance of forever exempting Tian Fu, and they don't want future generations to know that such good governance is completed by a gentleman who is not gracious for a moment.Since Hei Zhu Youxiao is cruel and unkind, and he has become pale and powerless, he can only beautify endlessly, beautify deformities, and not beautify principles.But Zhu Youxiao was still an iron-fisted emperor from beginning to end.He always dealt with things that did not conform to his ideals in the harshest way, and did not think of forgiving those he hated.Lu Xiangsheng and the army he mobilized now have once again become the knife in Zhu Youxiao's hands.The knife was pointed at Goto and Kashima.The gentry of Goto and Kashima did not yet know that they were about to be dealt with by the people sent by the Great Tomorrow.They are still immersed in extravagant pleasures, under the banner of the emperor's eldest son, accumulating wealth and enriching themselves, and even the veterans they slaughtered have completely forgotten.However, they did not know that soon after, the people sent by the Son of Heaven would make them recall this incident.The gentry of Godao and Kashima naturally heard that Lu Xiangsheng was ordered to inspect the military and political affairs of the world, but the decree given by the imperial court was too confused, like an idle chess arranged by a chess player, so that they could not speculate that Lu Xiangsheng's departure from Beijing was aimed at a place like them, which belonged to Emperor Shangao.It wasn't until Lu Xiangsheng came to Wudao that the deputy envoy of Wudao Song and the officials of Gao Yishi learned the news and hurriedly came out to greet him.But they didn't know that Lu Xiangsheng was here to do them, so after they saw Lu Xiangsheng, they all said with a flattering smile: "We welcome the Pavilion Elder to visit the Five Islands for inspection, and I ask the Pavilion Elder for forgiveness." ”Lu Xiangsheng didn't show his intentions, but said: "You're welcome, the servant is just ordered to make a routine patrol, can there be pirates harassing in the area of the five islands?"
”"Thanks to Your Majesty Shengming, you are wise to assist in the management of the Emperor, so the world has been cleared, and the people around the five islands no longer know what a pirate is."
According to the deputy envoy Song Zhibi replied.Lu Xiangsheng nodded, and suddenly asked Song Zhibi in a low voice, "I heard that Ge Jun is also in this area?"
”Song Zhibi was stunned for a while after hearing this, and then he was ecstatic in his heart, and said secretly: "It turns out that this Lu Ge Lao is a fellow practitioner, if he can pull Lu Ge Lao into the water and use it as the backstage of his own people, it is even better than playing the brand of Li Butang, and even better than playing the banner of the princes, after all, who doesn't know that Lu Ge Lao has prestige in both the military and political circles, and he is also one of the most trusted ministers of the Son of Heaven." ”"Dissatisfied with the elder pavilion, Ge Jun is now in Kashima."
Song Zhibi replied with a smile.When the other officials and gentry heard Song Zhibi ask, they all knew that Lu Ge Lao was not an upright person, so it would be beneficial for them to make friends, so they all relaxed their vigilance and became overjoyed.Lu Xiangsheng nodded at this point, and said: "Then you will all patrol Kashima with the servants, and tell the servants about the current situation in Kashima at any time, all the big and small officials will go, including the officials, and the defense of the island will be temporarily taken over by the people I brought!"
”"This!"
When Lu Xiangsheng said this, Song Zhibi and the others felt that something was wrong.And Lu Xiangsheng pulled down his face: "What, refuse to execute?"
”As he spoke, Lu Xiangsheng took out Shang Fang's sword, and first ordered: "Gui Mosheng, the general of the five islands, take all the military attachés above the general level under your command to Kashima together, Jiao Lian, you lead your troops to take over the defense of the five islands immediately, and those who do not obey will be shot on the spot for the crime of treason!"
”"Yes!"
Jiao Lian replied first.And Gui Mosheng was silent for a while, and finally replied: "Yes!"
”Naturally, he didn't dare to really refuse Lu Xiangsheng's order, and he didn't even dare to say more questions, because Lu Xiangsheng's prestige in the army was indeed higher than him, and he brought more people than he did on the island.So, Gui Mosheng first took a handful of generals on the boat.And Song Zhibi's officials and gentry became even more hesitant when they saw this.Lu Xiangsheng asked Song Zhibi at this time: "Deputy Envoy Song, do you really want the servant to personally invite you to board the boat and go to Ludao?"
”"The lower officials don't dare."
Song Zhibi replied, and then got on Lu Xiangsheng's boat, and the other officials and gentry had to follow Lu Xiangsheng's boat when they saw this.On Kashima's side, Lu Xiangsheng had already sent Yang Zhan's subordinates to form an advance team and surround Kashima.After Lu Xiangsheng arrived, Yang Zhan first took a ship to greet him: "Chief Instructor, the surrounding islands have been controlled by us, and our ships are also watching from the Satsuma Domain and the Ryukyus. ”Lu Xiangsheng nodded and ordered, "Enter the port!"
”"Yes!"
Yang Zhan replied, and then shouted: "Enter the port!"
”"Hey!
Hey!
What do you say, Chief Instructor Lu, why did you come suddenly, which caught your subordinates off guard. ”Kong Xigui, like many veteran generals of the Guards, is still habitually called Lu Xiangsheng and General Lu Commander.Therefore, after Kong Xigui knew that Lu Xiangsheng was coming, he also hurriedly brought Kashima and a group of officials and gentry to greet him, and he was very excited with a smile on his face, after all, this was a rare opportunity to contact the senior officials who were his old leaders.However, as soon as Kong Xigui and Lu Xiangsheng met on the island, Lu Xiangsheng ordered: "Take down everyone here except for Chen Qu, the magistrate!"
Yang Zhan, you immediately take over the island's defense with the flag!
All the military attachés of the general and above sailors are brought over!
”Kong Xigui was directly stunned after hearing this."
Yes!"
At this time, Yang Zhan had already led his troops to start the operation.And the guards around Lu Xiangsheng also came over and detained Kong Xigui and the others.Kong Xigui didn't come back to his senses until his arm was pressed, and he struggled to ask: "Chief Instructor Lu, what are you going to do, I'm your student!"
”"You're embarrassed to say it's my student!"
Lu Xiangsheng replied coldly, and then ordered: "Arrest Song Zhibi and other officials of the Five Islands Mansion, regardless of force, including the people from the East and West Factories!"
”The senior of the West Factory couldn't help but ask Song Zhibi: "What's going on?"
”Song Zhibi replied: "West Factory, East Factory, our official side, the military attache side, everyone is one, even the internal factory personnel hidden in your East and West Factory have also been bribed by us, if the officials below report some of the things we have done, they will also be stopped by the mail ship personnel and post station people we have bought, and even our people in the General Administration Department, it can be said that it is seamless, if there is still a problem, it can only be the emperor's eldest son, it is the emperor's eldest son who directly communicates with His Majesty secretly!"
It was the eldest son of the emperor who let His Majesty know about this!
