Before the army could reach Chengdu, the defenders inside had already surrendered.
They want to die together, but they don't have the courage and perseverance.
No matter whether it is a member of the family or other families, they do not have such courage.
Local cowards don't care about righteousness, and they don't care who manages the city, because they are already bound to the city.
are closely related, even if you want to clear them, it will only cause chaos in the city.
Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, as long as you control one, you can sit back and relax.
This is a very good choice when facing any ruler...
Especially in ancient times.
But for Lu Ming.
Such things don't make any sense.
He will not allow his subordinates to produce such families and groups. All of these belong to him and serve him.
If other people want to gain benefits from it, they will seize the food from the tiger's mouth. You can imagine the difficulty.
That night, Lu Ming entertained the big families in the city, the Huang family, the Li family, the Zhang family and the Ma family. In addition, there were nearly twenty other large and small aristocratic families.
Chengdu has not yet built a prefectural governor's mansion, and the remaining prefectural governor's mansion is still used.
The current prefect Huang Ruo took a back seat and looked like he was trying to please Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was the king of Qin.
Although a king with a different surname is not a good sign, there are so many kings with a different surname in the world, and he is one of them.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a poisonous trick, a poisonous trick in the world of Lu'an!
Not only does it make the princes unable to refuse, so they can embark on the road to overthrow the Han Dynasty together, but it can also muddy the water and buy more time for stable development.
Besides, no one would refuse the grant of a throne. The Han Dynasty was already weak, and now with the addition of a king with a different surname, it would not take five years to decline to the point where no one cares about it.
Besides, this is also a vicious plan of Jia Xu's.
Lu Ming said that if Liu Xie was still alive, someone would definitely threaten the emperor and order the princes.
Although the emperor has no power, he still has the title of righteousness, which can give him an advantage in recruiting people. There are other things that are also very convenient, and can be achieved with a single edict.
After analyzing the current situation, Jia Xu came up with the strategy of giving a different surname to the king.
If you admit a king with a different surname, then the whole world will fight against it, but what if everyone is a king with a different surname?
So what?
Even if Liu Xie doesn't admit it and wants to regret it.
But the princes of Guandong will not let him go. At least they have to come to Qingjun's side, and they have to ask Liu Xie, "Why did your majesty rebel?"
So even if it is a king with a different surname, he is still a king and must be respected.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't respect him. The tiger and wolf masters outside will let him know what respect means.
A group of beautiful dancers were dancing on the field. Lu Ming didn't squint his eyes. Sitting next to him was Hu Sanniang, who was still wearing armor.
Looking at the dancers, Hu Sanniang frowned and seemed a little unhappy, but she didn't say anything.
She is just one of many women. Now she is not even a princess. Even the princess is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks, and she is even less qualified.
"Your Majesty traveled thousands of miles to come to Chengdu. It was a hard work.
Your Majesty, I would like to offer you a drink. Your Majesty, please do as you please. "
Huang Ruo stood up with a smile, bowed to Lu Ming, then picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.
Lu Ming just picked up the wine glass and shook it for a moment before putting it down, with a hint of ridicule on his expression, "Prefect Huang, Chengdu is a land of abundance.
Yizhou has thousands of acres of fertile land, and there is no war in Yizhou. It should be that the warehouses and granaries are full.
But after I entered the city, I discovered that the granary was on fire, and there must be a rat in it.
Tell me, who it is, tell me, and you will be spared death. "
There was no foreshadowing, no sign, just a direct question. This Huang Ruo couldn't be dealt with, so why did he just rebel against him so well?
There was no reaction for a moment, and he was stunned on the spot, unable to even speak.
"Your Majesty, I, this, I."
Huang Ruo was suppressed by Lu Ming's aura and couldn't help but look forward and backward, and couldn't help but focus on the four family patriarchs.
The atmosphere was a bit strange, the dancer was still dancing and the musicians were still playing music.
It seems that there is still singing and dancing, and everything is peaceful, but careful people have discovered that there seems to be some swords and shadows on the field, and invisible murderous intent is permeating the field.
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the powerful annexation of land and encroachment of interests was already very serious.
The Guanzhong area is okay, it has been hit hard.
The local tycoons headed by Jia Fu and the ancient noble princes were also killed.
Guanzhong has become Lu Ming's base camp. All the land is back in his hands, and he can produce food with peace of mind.
There is no need to pretend to be snakes with those aristocratic families anymore. Every negotiation requires the transfer of power...
And there is still a lot of wrangling, and the efficiency can be imagined.
After arriving in Yizhou, Lu Ming found problems everywhere he went.
That means there are still a lot of refugees.
Sometimes, even on the march, you can see the dead of starvation, and there are so many mass graves.
Logically speaking, if there is no war in Yizhou, it will definitely be more peaceful. In fact, this is not the case.
It is very common for bandits to run rampant, tyrannical mergers, wanton robbery of women, and forced buying and selling.
The price was negotiated in the previous business, so there was no trouble.
Only when you come here now can you discover the evil hidden here.
"Your Majesty, Yizhou has experienced erratic wind and rain over the past few years, and the grain harvest has been poor. Every household has not much food left. In addition, bandits are rampant and it is impossible to suppress the bandits.
We are just about to ask the prince for help to clear out the bandits, calm the people, and bring a bright future to Yizhou! "
Huang Hao, the patriarch of the Huang family, stood up and bowed to Lu Ming, looking fair and selfless.
"Yes, please make the decision for the people of Yizhou."
The head of the Ma family also stood up. Ma Ping didn't even try to hide it, he just smiled sinisterly.
"Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for the people of Yizhou!"
When the other family heads saw this, they also stood up, bowed to Lu Ming, and shouted in unison.
Lu Ming still smiled when faced with this kind of forced palace. He picked up the wine glass and said, "Dancer, push it down."
Hu Sanniang clenched the two swords at her waist. A military commander like her could feel the malice in them. These people were clearly here to force her into the palace!
"The King of Qin has his own ideas. If you want to rebel, you can't!"
"Sanniang, there is no need to be angry."
Lu Ming shook his head and looked at the people in front of him as if they were dead.
