Chapter 948 Provocation and Targeting!
Gu Zhilun was about a thousand miles away from Bingzhou to Bianzhou, but when Lu Zheng's letter came, he could not delay it.
For him, there seemed to be many roads to go and he could escape, but according to the feedback from his own intelligence network, Lu Zheng had already made arrangements in Liaodong, northwest and south of the Yangtze River, and even in Jingjin, so Gu Zhilun had no possibility of escape.
The second way Gu Zhilun can instigate some powerful families to rebel. However, Gu Zhilun usually looks at the long-sleeved dance and has a lot of resources and strength in his hands. However, once he breaks apart these so-called forces, he finds that he cannot mobilize one soldier and one soldier, and all the powerful families do not have the real army. How can he fight back without an army? In fact, Gu Zhilun does not have the courage to rebel at all. Don’t look at him who is five or six people in front of others, and he is very strong in front of those powerful families. When he really meets Lu Zheng, he is very cowardly, and he has no courage to oppose Lu Zheng at all.
The two roads are not accessible, and the only thing left is one road to Bianzhou.
Gu Zhilun went to Bianzhou and led 500 followers, and also brought seven or eight women to accompany him to serve him. Not only that, according to his first-rank marquis' style, he could not miss the reception style at every place. Eighteen dishes were required for each meal, and no one was required for the place where he stayed. The requirements for the poor places to the south of Bingzhou were not met. The entourage led by Gu Zhilun was arranged in advance, and he could enjoy it after he arrived.
The journey from Bingzhou to Bianzhou was not only Gu Zhilun was walking, but also many people were paying attention, especially the gathering place of powerful families such as Bianzhou and Shengjing. They all wanted to see what the result of this confrontation between Lu Zheng and Gu Zhilun was!
All the things Gu Zhilun had traveled thousands of miles apart, and of course, they also reported to Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng looked at the complaints from the local officials, saying that Gu Zhilun had to kill a hundred ducks without a meal, and only took the duck tongue, and discarded the rest.
Gu Zhilun only ate live pork, so the chef would kill pigs before cooking, and only pick up tenderloin, and abandon all the other meats. Gu Zhilun required eighteen dishes for each meal, and in order to buy this banquet, countless resources were consumed. Gu Zhilun had to redesign the palace without a single place. There should be no less than eighteen rooms in the palace. From the house to the wing room, he should be the marquis of the marquis. Anyone who is unreasonable will be severely punished by him.
Lu Zheng was so happy when he looked at the memorial, he immediately ordered: "Deprived of Gu Zhilun's identity as Marquis, and in addition, he would demote Gu Zhilun from a first-rank first-rank second to a third-rank second..."
After Lu Zheng's orders continued, Gu Zhilun lost his identity as a marquis, but the third-rank top dress was still there, but the local reception was also downgraded. Gu Zhilun had already passed Miaocheng at this time, and the adviser around him said:
"Marquis, this time it seems that the prince is really angry. Before you arrived in Bianzhou, he ordered you to deprive your marquis and demote your rank..."
Gu Zhilun let out a long sigh and said quietly: "I have no other way to do this for the sake of this plan. I can only be a living horse. Isn't everyone in the world watching this matter now? Then let everyone watch it!
Everyone can see how much I have done for Dakang over the years and how much I have done for the prince! If the prince is so inhumane, what is there to say? As the saying goes, if the rabbit dies, go away | Dogs cook, I, Gu Zhilun, just a cooked dog | Is it a dog?
Let me hear it all, it’s no big deal. We still follow the rules along the way, eat what we should eat, drink what we should drink, and play what we should play..."
As soon as Gu Zhilun's attitude was revealed, it was a plan that Qian Yunzhou gave him, that is, to be willing to do his own things without touching the Dakang law, so that he could attract more attention, but at the same time, many people would analyze this matter.
Gu Zhilun's move was a move that was about advancing and retreating. On the one hand, he wanted to tell the people of the world how he helped Lu Zheng conquer the world. When Lu Zheng was in the most difficult time, Gu Zhilun alone supported the business road and used his huge wealth to help Lu Zheng support a huge army. It was because of such an army that Lu Zheng could make a comeback and fight for a bloody road under great difficulties to this day, occupy the Central Plains, and become the most powerful force in Dakang at present.
Under such circumstances, Gu Zhilun is a well-deserved hero. If Lu Zheng wants to attack the hero this time, what would the people in the world think about this matter? This is not typical of flying birds, hiding good bows, savage rabbits die, leaving | Do dogs cook? If Lu Zheng does this, he will have so many soldiers and counselors under his command, and they will feel at ease?
It is no exaggeration to say that Gu Zhilun was deliberately creating momentum to risk his army, with the goal of bringing Lu Zheng's army! Now that he has taken the first step, the subsequent steps are already difficult to take, and he has to leave!
So the farce that followed was even more exciting. Not only did Gu Zhilun not restrain himself, but he also became more severe. After arriving in a certain place, whenever the local officials were a little negligent, he immediately used his style as a marquis and punished him in various ways. The luxury of life was not restrained, and the materials consumed were even more incredible.
Lu Zheng, who is in Bianzhou, is really happy. He has been dealing with Gu Zhilun for so many years, but he has never seen Gu Zhilun so just now. Is this old guy confused now? Is he asking for death?
In a trance, Lu Zheng remembered the past when Lu Zheng was just a concubine's son who was living under someone else's roof. His life in Yangzhou was in danger. It was under that background that Lu Zheng met Gu Zhilun.
Gu Zhilun ran a book shop at that time, and his character and quality might not be able to reach Lu Zheng's eye. Then, by chance, the two had a lot of interactions. In the end, Gu Zhilun completely took a fancy to Lu Zheng's potential and expressed his willingness to follow him to the death. This led to the story of Gu Zhilun becoming the world's number one businessman.
Gu Zhilun didn't know who was bewitched by him, but he boasted that Lu Zheng had made contributions today because he was Gu Zhilun. He couldn't even understand a simple truth, that is, as long as Lu Zheng was there, without Gu Zhilun, there were Ma Zhilun or Sun Zhilun, Lu Zheng could find many people to do these things for him.
But Gu Zhilun got into the slightest horn. Now it seems that he is too inflated. He really wants to make his affairs public and let people all over the world judge him and seek justice!
Faced with such a situation, Lu Zheng actually had no way out, because others stared at Gu Zhilun and also stared at him. Lu Zheng made up his mind to recuperate, that is, to build up the economy, to hide the wealth of the people, and to make the people live a prosperous life, so that they can have the strength to complete the final unification of great prosperity!
The biggest interference to him in this process came from the power families, which encircled land and divided the power of the country. In this way, Lu Zheng could not get the most reasonable joint force on major policies and strategies. No matter what, the people around him considered the interests of their respective families first, and this would be too great and terrifying to the country.
The tragedy of the overly powerful wealthy family of the Dakang Quan family must not be repeated. Lu Zheng wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkey this time, naturally he wanted to show his determination. In this case, Gu Zhilun did not understand Lu Zheng's determination, but instead used this method to provoke, which was like a kind of "cooperation" for Lu Zheng.
In this way, Lu Zheng gave an order almost every day, demoting Gu Zhilun one level a day. Gu Zhilun was demoted to one level a day after walking, and his official position was dropped one level a day. All the receptionists and the servants and entourages around him were demoted. In this way, when Gu Zhilun walked outside Bianzhou City, he had been demoted to a county magistrate of the ninth rank, and his entourages were reduced from more than 500 people to only two. A large number of women following him were driven away, and he led two servants to Bianzhou City one by one.
After arriving in Bianzhou, Lu Zheng did not see him at all, but directly asked the Third Department of Justice to hold a trial on him. You should know that Gu Zhilun has committed too many things over the years, and just arresting him will be a big problem!
Under such circumstances, the Ministry of Justice and the Sansi quickly found a total of 18 major crimes for Gu Zhilun. The first major crime was to enclose land, take the people's land into private ownership, and make the people suffer... This is exactly the most common trick used by the powerful families. They used various means to allow their families to own the most fertile and vast land. After owning these lands, they could control more people through the land. After controlling them, they could control wealth and even raise private soldiers. In short, enclosing land is the first crime for the powerful families.
Gu Zhilun's second crime was to connect with the enemy chiefs privately. This crime was that Gu Zhilun had contacted Jingjin many times, contacted Jiangnan, and even contacted Beiyan. Especially after Lu Zheng asked him to arrive in Bianzhou quickly, Gu Zhilun's first thought was to escape. He used all his skills and took his so-called intelligence network to the extreme. Such actions were a big taboo.
In fact, Gu Zhilun's behavior is exactly the same as many powerful families. A popular saying now is the so-called a century-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old family. This saying means that no matter how the dynasty changes, the wealthy families or wealthy families are still powerful families.
In a sense, the powerful families are above the court because they have milk and are the mother. When the building is about to overturn, they will connect with the enemy privately. Some powerful families even act as internal supporters of the enemy. How can France not perish in this way?
