Raise an emperor as a villain

The power of the cabinet is not fixed, and whether it can suppress the six ministries depends entirely on the ability of the chief assistant, who cannot be trusted by the emperor.Now that Lu Hengxiu is in power and highly valued by Ming Jue's new appointment, he began to reform and rectify the administration of officials, using iron and blood methods to forcibly promote the new deal. The cabinet issued several decrees every day, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going.

Once the new policy was promulgated, it caused a huge backlash. After all, it has been so comfortable for hundreds of years. The sudden reform of assessment and rectification of officials really touched the interests of many people, and many people hated Lu Hengxiu to the bone.

Although Lu Hengxiu had offended a lot of people, he still went to the court every day without panic, and for a while no one in the court dared to play him.

However, although no one in the court stood up and made a clear statement against the new policy, the local documents floated to Ming Jue's imperial table like snowflakes.Lu Hengxiu's reforms started from the local areas first, rectifying corruption, redundant staff and cumbersome administration, and abolished a large number of low-level officials, which made those local officials very sad, and it was most directly related to their vital interests, so those people were the first to sit. Living.

"In short, you can see that so many scriptures are here to obstruct the New Deal. These people are simply moths of the country."

After hearing this, Lu Hengxiu stepped forward and randomly picked up a copy, only to find that it was signed by Fu Minghua.

"Even Mr. Fu joined me. It's really surprising. Before that, he hated corrupt officials the most."

"He didn't object very violently, he just said that you are too radical, and he advocated gradual progress." Fu Minghua is Ming Jue's confidant, and he will not stand against him on such a big matter.

"What does the emperor think?"

"Severe illness requires intense treatment. I agree with your approach, but you have encountered such fierce resistance from the beginning... If you need to slow down, it doesn't matter."

"No way, your majesty, there is no turning back when you open the bow. There are not a few emperors who want to reform the administration of officials in the past, but very few succeed. It is because most of them are thunderous and rainy, and they relax after a while. Your majesty Don’t follow in the footsteps of your predecessors.”

"I know. I'm just worried about you. I'm afraid that there will be things I can't take care of."

"Your Majesty." Lu Hengxiu lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt heavily on the ground, "As long as the Emperor trusts me, I will be willing to be the emperor and a pawn crossing the river alone."

No matter how big the backlash is, he will suppress it with an iron fist.No matter how many people oppose it, they can't give in. As long as it is carried out, the Xiao Ming Dynasty can survive for at least another hundred years.Otherwise, let the moths erode the pillars, without waiting for foreign enemies to invade, and the inside will be rotten within a few decades.

When Lu Hengxiu said this, he showed his determination to be fearless of difficulties and dangers. Ming Jue couldn't say anything else, so he could only say: "Forget it, I will send some shadow guards to your house, and remember to bring a few people with you wherever you go. , I will let Tianshu pick people in a while."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

After Lu Hengxiu left the palace, he boarded a sedan chair and went back to his residence. Unexpectedly, a cold arrow shot towards him on the way, but it passed through the curtain and missed.

"There are assassins, protect your lord..." the soldiers outside shouted, it sounded like the street was already in chaos.

Cold arrows shot from all directions, and soon the bearers and soldiers were nearly half destroyed, and Lu Hengxiu stayed in the sedan chair and did not dare to show his face.

"There are assassins, hurry up, brothers~" Ning Yuanhang happened to be patrolling the street, and rushed over with a team of his men.

After a fierce battle, Leng Jian finally disappeared. Due to the mixed personnel, the assassin's position was extremely hidden, and no one was caught in the end.

"Master Lu?!" Ning Yuanhang cleaned up the situation and immediately opened the curtain to check Lu Hengxiu's situation. As a result, a white light flashed past the knife and rushed to him. Fortunately, he quickly grabbed the person holding the knife.

"General Ning?" Seeing that he was the one who put down the knife, Lu Hengxiu calmed down his excitement.

"The end is late, and Lord Lu is shocked. The assassins have already escaped, and the brothers are searching from house to house. Let the end send you back home."

"Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you." Lu Hengxiu leaned on the back of the sedan chair as if he was in shock.

"Come a few people to carry the sedan chair, you, you...and you..." Ning Yuanhang called out to several people.

Lu Hengxiu felt that the sedan chair was lifted up in a flash, and then moved forward smoothly. He lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked out. The corpses shot by cold arrows were being carried and tidied up. There were government soldiers and civilians, and the blood on the ground The slate was dyed a pool of red, and the scope was still expanding.

Such a scene made him feel sick for no reason, and he quickly put down the curtain.

In the early morning of the second day, everyone knew the news that Lu Hengxiu had been assassinated on the street. Before the emperor came, many people came to care about his safety.It's nothing more than being more careful, or reprimanding the gangsters for being rampant, or threatening to punish the gangsters.

The only one among them who is different from others is Fu Minghua.

"Lord Lu's life is really great. I don't understand why Master Lu is desperately trying to implement the New Deal. With your current high position and supreme honor, what else can you ask for?"

"In life, there should always be some pursuits that are not for yourself, and you can't always pursue fame and fortune. Life is too comfortable, and it will make people tired, right? If I am in a high position and just focus on making money, even if I end up with a big family What’s the point of being big and tightly clustered, if it’s not for the benefit of the common people, it’s just a vegetarian meal after all.”

Lu Hengxiu's high-sounding response won the praise of all the officials.

"Master Lu is a man of integrity..."

"Master Lu's character is as glorious as the wind and the moon, and it is not comparable to ordinary people like me..."

Some people blamed Fu Minghua for his injustice, saying: "Master Fu is also a scholar, doesn't he understand the principle of "regulating the family to govern the country and the world"?"

In the end, Lu Hengxiu waved his hand, and everyone fell silent, only to hear him say lightly: "In this life, Lu, if he does this one thing well, he will be famous in history."

Thousands of years later, people will still remember his name. From the time he decided to do this, half of his name has been carved into the bones of Xiao Ming Dynasty.

After he finished speaking, he smiled, his expression was full of self-confidence and arrogance.

The officials were a little surprised by his arrogant announcement, and they were stunned for a moment, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

At this moment, a voice came from the outermost area, saying: "Your Majesty Lu has the talents of latitude and longitude, and his ambition to help the country is really a role model for our generation."

When the ministers heard the words and looked back, they saw that the person who spoke was wearing a sixth-grade Tsing Yi, and it was Shen Yi who had been robbed of credit by Lu Hengxiu a year ago.
