Chapter 642 Taking back power
"The matter has come to this, let's get over it first."
Xu Yuan did not continue to punish Li Junwu for his stupid choice, but said softly: "Although your choice is very risky, it is undeniable that it does help us eliminate some internal hidden dangers."
Li Junwu was still unhappy, but he adjusted quickly and said:
“You mean the generals who watched me commit suicide?”
Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, sat on the edge of the table, looked directly at the words hanging on the side wall, and said quietly:
"Killing you is one of their ultimate goals. The details of your Zhenxi Mansion must be expecting your death."
Li Junwu pursed his lips slightly when he heard this:
“You mean to say that those generals who choose to stand by are traitors?”
Xu Yuan shook his head and said:
"Not entirely. Not saving you does not mean that they are traitors. Some of them may not have reacted, and some of them should be loyal to Zhenxi Mansion, but they have complaints against you, so they chose at that moment hesitate."
As he spoke, Xu Yuan glanced at her at the main seat with a gentle expression:
“Although Zhan Xian’an is a traitor on our side, to his generals, he is an elder brother who has lived and died together for many years. It is human nature that they cannot agree with this change of status in a short period of time.”
Li Junwu frowned and said dissatisfiedly:
“Can you tell me the result directly?”
“Look, just because you’re here again and I’m helping you analyze it doesn’t mean you can’t use your brain.”
“My old man also has many military advisors around him, and he just judges what is right and wrong most of the time.”
ˆ “.”
Xu Yuan was speechless for a while, sighed softly, and said with a smile:
"Reverse the characteristics I just mentioned. If the relationship with Zhan Xian'an is not very good on the surface, and has enough strength to prevent you from committing suicide, the person with the two characteristics combined will most likely be the person you suppress. The traitor in the West Mansion.”
Li Junwu narrowed his eyes:
"You say Lu Baizou is also a traitor? He is an old man who went through the Tartar-Chao Rebellion with my father, and half of his body is almost buried. What is his intention to betray Zhenxi Mansion?"
Xu Yuan nodded and said softly:
“There can be many reasons for choosing to betray. It may be family members, your own greed, or it may be because your father’s spoils were unevenly distributed after he rose to power, causing him to be dissatisfied with his current position.”
As he spoke, Xu Yuan casually took out a file from the desk, spread it out, and whispered:
"I just looked at his resume. Based on Lu Baizou's achievements over the past few decades, he is indeed worthy of the position of commander-in-chief of a town."
Li Junwu felt a little depressed after hearing this:
“So this is my father’s failure to reward merit?”
"boom!"
Xu Yuan raised his hand and knocked Li Junwu directly on the head, and said angrily:
“Instead of looking for your own problems, blame others more, and you will feel much more comfortable.”
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”
“What I mean is that you have to think about things more from your own standpoint. There are not many fair things in this world, and your father has no choice in many things.”
Li Junwu rubbed his head and stretched out his hand to fight back, but he felt it was too childish, so he held back:
"What's the meaning?"
“The success of my Prime Minister’s Mansion is largely due to the annexation of the Long family and my mother’s family. You don’t think that your Zhenxi Mansion can reach its current size only because of your father’s step-by-step management?”
After entering the government office and looking up the secrets of Li Junwu's family, Xu Yuancai discovered that the root cause of the Zhenxihou Mansion had been buried since the Tarchao Rebellion. It was not just the Mu Chamber of Commerce and his family, but also those who had been destroyed. The remnants of the sect.
Xu Yuan spoke slowly, with a hint of sigh in his tone: "The Xizezhou sect was destroyed, your father absorbed the remaining forces, and those people supported your father and provided money, food and people for your Zhenxi Mansion. , and of course you have to ask for something in return.”
The Xiangguo Mansion controlled all the forces absorbed under its banner and made them obedient. The Prime Minister's Mansion was Xu Yinhe's exclusive power. But Zhenxi Houfu, which started in the same way, seemed to be forced to go another way.
This is probably one of the reasons why the Marquis of Zhenxi has been reluctant to let Li Junwu take over.
Li Junwu heard the meaning of Xu Yuan's words, but he was not too frustrated. Instead, he laughed softly:
“It looks like my family’s situation is more troublesome than I expected.”
Xu Yuan looked at him for a moment and whispered:
“But it’s not that there is no solution.”
Li Junwu raised his eyebrows, bent his eyes and said:
“What’s the solution?”
“If you want it to be simple, just let me, the Prime Minister’s Office, help me and directly carry out the purge.”
"Then my Zhenxi Mansion will become a vassal of your family, right?"
“Have you actually been discovered?”
Li Junwu.
Xu Yuan smiled slightly and said seriously: "It's just a joke. I really don't recommend that you rely on the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion to rectify the interior of your Zhenxi Mansion. If this is true, your family will most likely end up like the Long family. , so the best choice is to slowly engage in Machiavellian tactics, win over and suppress, and join forces. "
“Isn’t it necessary to go to such trouble?”
"Um?"
“Isn’t the Six Saints’ attack on the city the best opportunity now?”
“Are you so smart?”
Li Junwu.
Rolled his eyes and was too lazy to argue with this guy. Li Junwu hummed and said:
“But the premise of all this is that we can defend the city first. How do you think we should deal with Lu Baizou?”
Getting back to the topic, Xu Yuan whispered without thinking:
"We have no reason to touch him now. If we kill him forcibly, it may cause even greater trouble. At worst, it may even lead to a mutiny in the military."
Li Junwu whispered:
“Of course I know this, so what should I do?”
Xu Yuan frowned, thought for a moment, and said:
"Lu Baizou's biggest problem is actually his Xuanting Army. According to the military system of your Zhenxi Army, unless you can always force your power to seize control of the military formation, otherwise if he is careful, he may do it at any time. You should be in harmony with the saints outside."
At this point, Xu Yuan’s eyes suddenly flashed and he said with a smile:
"Let's rise up and down secretly. The army can't live without a commander for a day. Use your identity as the princess to appoint him as the temporary commander of the second town. Tie this guy to your side. When the time comes, it will be easier to deal with him directly. "
Li Junwu hesitated and asked:
"Will he agree? With Zhan Xian'an's past experience, Lu Baizou will definitely shrink into the Xuanting military camp. How could he agree to stay in the government office?"
Hearing this question, Xu Yuan grinned:
"Of course he won't agree, so you have to create an opportunity for him to agree."
Li Junwu thought for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled:
"Then this girl will summon all the generals in the city and appoint Lu Baizou in public? Even if he disagrees, the people below him will push him forward. After all, he has the highest prestige in the city now."
Xu Yuan nodded, a chill flashing through his eyes:
“In addition, we must find a way to give the general named Jin real power. It is best to transfer him to the Xuanting Army and let him take charge of this most powerful army.”
Li Junwu reminded:
“Lu Baizou will definitely hand over this position to his deputy.”
Xu Yuan smiled indifferently:
"Then let's let General Jin take the lead and be the deputy of Lu Baizou's deputy, and then let Lu Baozou's deputy report his illness. We have the top holy level combat power of Linlang in our hands, and let a person disappear. It’s not that difficult.”
