I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 392

After Lu Bu arrived in Sizhou, Niu Fu was very dissatisfied.

Although he knew that Lv Bu came here with Dong Zhuo's military order, but he was not happy.

He is obviously the governor of Sizhou and Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. If Dong Zhuo has anything to do in Sizhou, let him handle it. Why did he have to call Lu Bu here?
Doesn't this make it clear that you can't trust yourself?
Could it be that I am a dignified Niu Fu not as good as Lu Bu like him?
But no matter what complaints Niu Fu has in his heart now, since Lu Bu has come, he can only accept it.

As the general of the capital sent by Chang'an, Lu Bu came to Sizhou to perform important tasks, so Niu Fu, who was the governor, naturally wanted to receive him.

This time Lu Bu was a little elated. When he volunteered in front of Dong Zhuo in Chang'an before, he was highly praised by Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo praised Lu Bu: Among all the generals under his command, only Fengxian was willing to share the old man's worries.

In fact, Dong Zhuo at that time was also a little angry by the affairs of the Tai students.

The implementation of the New Deal in his hands was so unsatisfactory, which made Dong Zhuo feel ashamed.

He is old, and he was a little anxious when he started to do things. Now seeing that the imperial examination system he just promulgated was so resisted by the Tai students, he felt that his face was disgraced, but none of the people under him could share his worries.

It was at this time that Lu Bu stood up.

Regardless of whether Lu Bu's proposal to use military force to advance the imperial examination is not in line with the current situation, at least in Dong Zhuo's view, Lu Bu sincerely wanted to help him.

People are getting older, so sometimes it is easy to be moved.

Of course, this kind of emotion is generally temporary.

Dong Zhuo was really moved by what Lu Bu did this time.

Therefore, for the first time, Lv Bu was granted the power to handle the Sizhou imperial examinations by Dong Zhuo.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo also allowed Lu Bu to use military affairs as a supplement when carrying out the imperial examination in Sizhou, that is to say, he could use his Bingzhou army to do things that others could not do.

The local governor headed by Niu Fu and the prefects of the five prefectures of Sizhou must unconditionally cooperate with Lu Bu's actions.

Now, Lu Bu has great authority.

After Lu Bu arrived in Henan, he immediately handed Dong Zhuo's military order to Niu Fu for inspection.

Naturally, the military order Lu Bu brought could not be fake, he was simply trying to show off in front of Niu Fu.

Just because it wasn't fake, Niu Fu was holding his breath and felt deeply jealous.

After all, it was Dong Zhuo's strict order, how could Niu Fu have the guts to disobey it?
He could only receive Lu Bu with a forced smile.

"It's really hard work for Fengxian to share the worries of Xiangguo this time, and return to Luoyang from Guanzhong. Is there anything Niu can do? Just ask Fengxian."

Lu Bu laughed out loud when he heard this.

"Then there will be Mr. Lao Niu. Bu came to Sizhou to do his best for the Prime Minister and implement the New Deal. There are really some things that need Fang Bo's help. I am afraid that in the future, Fang Bo Niu will be troubled a lot."

Seeing Lu Bu's proud face, Niu Fu wished he could punch him to death.

However, Niu Fu is really not Lu Bu's opponent.

If there was a fight, who would kill whom?

Niu Fu had no choice but to swallow this breath in his stomach, and finally, he cupped his hands at Lu Bu and said, "I don't know if Fengxian needs my help?"

Lu Bu slouched and sat down beside the hall, as if the hall belonged to him.

"The matter of the imperial examination is no small matter. This is the foundation of the national policy. The Prime Minister has strictly ordered it to be carried out smoothly. Therefore, I have entrusted this matter to me. Bu has just arrived here today. I don't know much about what happened in Sizhou so far. I also ask Fang Bo Niu to call all the prefects here on behalf of the general, so that Bu Zi has something to ask them."

When Niu Fu heard Lu Bu speak like this, he felt so angry.

What a villain!

It's just an authorized appointment from Xiangguo. You can see how powerful he is.

The five two-thousand stones in the land of Sizhou are all here to meet Lu Bu because of a word from him?
Who does he think he is?

Niu Fu held back his anger, and said to Lu Bu: "Feng Xian's words are wrong. The five men with two thousand stones are all leaders of one party. They are involved in important military and political affairs of the local area, and they are related to the stability of the people's livelihood. How can they easily leave their posts and go here?"

Lu Bu didn't seem to be listening.

He said proudly: "Could it be that in Niu Fangbo's opinion, Xiangguo's new policy and the imperial court's emergency military order are far inferior to those trivial matters of the local prefect, right?"

When Niu Pu heard this, he became anxious.

"When did I have this intention?"

Lu Bu sneered and said, "From Bu's point of view, that's what you meant just now."

"Never! Niu never had such intentions."

"If Uncle Niu refuses to admit it, then Lu will report what Shicai and you said to the Prime Minister, and ask the Prime Minister to make a decision?"

Niu Fu took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Okay, since Feng Xian said so, what can I say? Since you want to recruit five county guards here, then I will personally write the letter and send it to the land of the five counties."

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Good!"

……

The next day, Niu Fu wrote a letter and sent envoys to the five counties of Sizhou.

I heard that it was Lu Bu who asked the prefects of the various counties to go to the governor's department to meet, but the prefects of the five counties didn't want to talk to him at first.

Lu Bu is a fart.

However, Niu Fu made it clear in his letter that Lu Bu came to lead his troops to carry out the imperial examination this time under the order of Dong Zhuo.

You better take it easy.

After hearing the news, the prefects of three counties among the five prefectures did not dare not come.

Except for Lu Zhi and Wang Kuang, the prefects of the five prefectures were all Dong Zhuo's old troops in Liangzhou, and they knew Dong Zhuo very well.

Since Lu Bu was sent by Dong Zhuo to carry out the imperial examination, they had to give face.

The current Lv Bu is very likely to be granted the power of arbitrariness by Dong Zhuo.

……

A few days later, Lu Zhi, the prefect of Luoyang, and the prefects of the other three counties arrived at the Sizhou Governor's Department respectively, to listen to Lu Bu's dispatch.

As for Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, he was the opposite of Dong Zhuo. He and Zhu Jun stationed troops in Hanoi, and he listened to the imperial court's orders and did not listen to them.

Dong Zhuo's military orders are all nonsense to them.

No wonder they could come.

So this time, only four people including Lu Zhi came to the two thousand stones in the department of governors, but even so, this is still a very big deal.

In front of the four eunuchs, Lu Bu asked carefully about the progress of the new policy in Sizhou and the riots among the eunuchs in Luoyang.

Among the four prefects, three are from Liangzhou, and they are completely noobs in terms of governance. Asking them these things is like listening to a scripture, and they can't answer them at all.

Only Lu Zhi is capable of both civil and military affairs, and he is proficient in both military affairs and civil affairs. Lu Bu can hear some useful things from him.

Only Lu Zhi knew what was going on about the trouble caused by the Tai students this time and the specific reasons why the New Deal could not be implemented.

He slowly told Lu Bu about everything in Luoyang city one by one.

At the same time, he also roughly explained to Lu Bu some of his recent efforts and countermeasures against the Tai students' riots.

After listening to Lu Zhi's words, Lu Bu's expression turned ugly.

Lu Bu stretched out his hand and patted the table heavily.

"It's just a group of rotten scholars. Facing the new policy of the imperial court, how dare you resist so much? It's just a matter of impatience! Lord Lu is entrusted by His Majesty and the Prime Minister, how can you let these rotten scholars become popular? Why don't you arrest the leader who caused trouble? Get up? Send it to the court for disposal."

After listening to Lu Bu's words, Lu Zhi shook his head secretly.

This Bingzhou reckless man is really a political idiot.

It seems that this matter was instigated by someone behind the scenes, how could it be possible to deal with it simply by catching a few leaders?

Lu Zhi clasped his hands and said: "Lieutenant Lu has been in the army all year round, and he is not very proficient in political affairs. On the surface, it seems that the affairs of the imperial students are only aimed at the New Deal, but in fact the internal causes of the formation are extremely complicated. Two leaders can calm down."

Lu Bu sneered, "If you can't settle down with one or two, then grab three or four; if you can't settle with three or four, then grab ten, twenty, or a hundred."

After hearing this, Lu Zhi almost laughed angrily.

"Lieutenant Lu, even if you arrest a thousand people, it won't help. You must know that there are more than [-] Tai students."

Lu Bu couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"So what if there are more than [-] rotten scholars? Can these rotten scholars scare the captain? With the Fangtian painted halberd in my hand and the red rabbit horse under my crotch, let alone more than [-] rotten scholars, it is Fifty thousand and one hundred thousand, I will slaughter them like lambs."

Seeing Lu Bu's confident and airy face, Lu Zhi was really not in the mood to continue talking to him.

It's just playing the piano to the cow.

But unfortunately, in this case, it really won't work if you don't explain it to him.

Otherwise, once Lu Bu did something absurd, the impact would be even more far-reaching.

Lu Zhi was not afraid that Lu Bu's behavior would affect his movements, after all he didn't have much affection for Dong Zhuo.

But the problem is that the person behind Dong Zhuo is today's emperor. Once Lu Bu's behavior is too extreme, it is likely to have an unpredictable impact on the reputation of today's emperor.

This is something Lu Zhi absolutely does not want to see.

So he could only patiently explain to Lu Bu: "Lieutenant Lu must not be influenced by superficial things. Competing with Tai students is not the same as fighting soldiers on the battlefield. How can you kill them in vain?"

"Besides, there must be someone behind the Tai students who secretly plotted to deliberately damage the reputation of the court and affect the promulgation of the New Deal. If the captain acts recklessly against the Tai students, he has fallen into the tricks of the people behind him."

Lu Bu is eager to make contributions, but he will not accept Lu Zhi's tricks.

He stared at Lu Zhi fiercely.

"Mr. Buwen is well-known in the country, and he is a leader among the gentry. If he speaks like this now, it could be that there is also a master who is behind the matter of the Taisheng."

Lu Zhi was not angry when he heard Lu Bu's words.

"There is no evidence for the captain's statement, please be careful. Otherwise, if Lu sues the court, even if the captain has the backing of the prime minister, he may not be able to retreat unscathed."

"you……"

Hearing this, Lu Bu was immediately annoyed, but he had nothing to do with Lu Zhi.

"Hmph! A certain came to carry out the new policy under the order of the prime minister and the emperor. This matter is imminent and must be carried out. The matter of the imperial students must also be resolved. It cannot be stopped by your obstruction in a few words."

Lu Zhi said: "No one here wants to obstruct the captain's implementation of the new policy. It's just that many things are not as simple as the captain thought. They still need to be unraveled and figured out slowly. If you rush for a while, you may encounter catastrophe."

"Snapped!"

Lu Bu slapped the table hard: "You have made several threatening words and blocked my big business. Don't you think I can't get things done without you?"

Lu Zhi stood up slowly, and said: "I'm just speaking from the facts, and I don't intend to target the captain. If the captain thinks he is powerful, then he can deal with it himself."

Lu Bu said coldly, "Lu Zigan, do you think Lu dare not take you?"

Lu Zhi sneered: "The old man is appointed by the emperor for two thousand stones, and he is not under the control of the captain. Even if the old man is taken down, it will not be the captain's turn."

Say it, then turn around and walk out of the hall.

"Stop him for me!"

Lu Bu was furious and roared at his subordinates.

Then Wei Yue, who was following him, got up and stopped Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi stopped naturally.

The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, as if he had succeeded in something.

The governor of Hedong, Ling Kun, hurriedly got up, cupped his hands and said, "Calm down your anger, you must not be disrespectful to Lu Zigan, everyone in Lu Gonghai forgets it, everyone in the world has heard it, even Dong Gong treated him very politely and respected him very much. "

Niu Fu whispered from the side: "Feng Xian, although what Lord Lu said is a bit blunt, it is still for the sake of the country and the people. What's more, he is Liu Jian's teacher..."

When Liu Jian was mentioned, Lu Bu seemed to become even more angry.

"Am I afraid of Liu Deran? Let's take him down and stay here temporarily. Don't let him go back to Luoyang. I will go to Luoyang to deal with the matter of the New Deal and the Imperial College students."
