The atmosphere in Lu Zhongtian's public room in the east chamber of the political hall was dull, and the hot air was mixed with a strange stench. It's like the excrement of a cat, and it's like the smell of fish in a sheepfold. All in all, the smell is really strange and refreshing.

But the few high-ranking officials sitting in this room seemed to be unconscious, and under the left hand sat Vice Minister Wu Chunlai, under the right head sat Zhu Zhirong, and two purple-robed officials also sat on one side. Everyone's eyes were on Lu Zhongtian behind the main case.

Lu Zhongtian sat behind the case, holding a file and reading it carefully. He was dressed in a purple robe, but the color of the purple robe seemed to be two darker on the armpits on both sides. This is where the stench that permeates the public housing comes from. Lu Zhongtian suffers from fox odor, and many treatments have no effect. On a hot day, Lu Zhongtian sweated under his armpits, and suddenly the house was full of 'strange fragrance', and the Chinese wanted to get drunk.

However, for the people around Lu Zhongtian, they have already practiced a special function, that is, to smell the smell and be unmoved. In other words, who dares to frown in front of Lu Xiang? Say he has a fox smell? Isn't that self-inflicted? Besides, the person who can smell this smell means that he is red, and he can't serve by Lu Xiang's side, and he can't smell it if he wants to. Thinking about it like this, I suddenly felt comfortable and refreshed. Some people even become addicted to this smell over time, and feel tired and weak without sniffing two sips, as if they are addicted. I even hope that I can have such a special body odor like Lu Xiang, maybe the people who are rich and noble have many different places from ordinary people, and this fox odor may also be one of the signs.

Lu Zhongtian didn't know that his fox smelled stinky, and he would be equipped with a sachet on his body on weekdays, and the fragrance emitted could cover up the smell. Especially when he was in front of the saint or in the court, he would always wear a sachet. But in the public house, he deliberately did not wear a sachet, and according to everyone's reaction, Lu Zhongtian seemed to be able to distinguish who was truly loyal. To put it mildly: you don't even want to eat my, and what do you say about loving me?

"Whoa." Lu Zhongtian put the file in his hand on the public case, and the expression on his face was thoughtful, and he couldn't see anything different. This is Lu Zhongtian's characteristic, and it is difficult for you to see his emotions from his face.

"Lu Xiang, what the hell is going on? Is it serious? Wu Chunlai asked softly. He only knew a little bit about it. Zhu Zhirong came to the political hall to present the file, waiting for Lu Xiang to meet the two of them had a brief chat, he only knew that there was a gathering of the Youth Sect in Changheng County, but he didn't have time to ask about the specific situation.

"Come in the spring, take a look at this file." Lu Zhongtian said in a deep voice.

"Okay." Wu Chunlai hurriedly stepped forward, took the file and quickly skimmed it, his face showing a shocked expression.

"Something like this happened? This Qingjiao is too bold, this is Xiaoju rebellion, Lu Xiang. This is not to be underestimated. The seizure of the Kaifeng government officials and the gathering of people to besiege the county government are rebellions. Wu Chunlai shouted.

The first two officials who were listening with their necks stretched out were shocked when they heard this, and Wu Chunlai handed them the file with his hand, and the two officials quickly browsed it with their heads against their heads.

Lu Zhongtian frowned and groaned: "Spring is coming, don't be breathless, and don't be busy with qualitative." ”

Wu Chunlai nodded, turned to Zhu Zhirong and said, "Lord Zhu, have you checked this matter?" Don't make a mistake. ”

Zhu Zhirong hurriedly said: "Prime Minister Lu, Vice Minister Wu, how dare the lower officials not ask clearly?" After the Xiaguan Street Criminal Division reported to the court, he personally interrogated the two Qingjiao disciples who had been arrested. The husband and wife stoned their daughter to death because she did not follow the rules. When questioned by the lower officials, they confessed. But they insisted that they were doing the right thing for heaven and killing the evil demons. Say they are not guilty. He actually persuaded the official to quickly believe in the Qingjiao, saying that in the future, when the heavens are punished, only the Qingjiao followers can be redeemed, and they can go to the Yunyun Temple. I was so angry that I beat them up. ”

Wu Chunlai was stunned and said: "How deep is this poison, and at this time you are still persuading people to join the church?" What kind of nonsense are you talking about? It just doesn't make sense. ”

"Isn't it? People say that tigers don't eat their children, and the couple killed their own daughter without remorse, which shows the depth of poisoning. This Qingjiao is really evil, and from the two of them, we can know its evil. Zhu Zhirong nodded.

"If that's the case, it's a cult." Lu Zhongtian said in a deep voice: "Back then, there was also a sect called the Lotus Sect in my Great Zhou, and the believers were also unreasonable. At the beginning, the old man was in charge of banning it, and those sect members were like crazy people. Now it seems that this Qingjiao is also somewhat similar to the Lotus Sect. His followers are so obsessed that the old man seems familiar. ”

Wu Chunlai arched his hand and said: "Lu Xiang, since it is a cult, the court can't sit idly by." According to what is said in this file, they already have a considerable number of people, and even have acts against the government, how can they not care? ”

Lu Zhongtian waved his hand and said, "Spring is coming, don't worry." Naturally, things can't be ignored, but how to manage them must be exquisite. Regarding the Qingjiao, in fact, the old man has heard about it for a long time. Is the county order of Changheng County you are talking about called He Anmin? The old man remembered that he had been on a few occasions, and he was talking about the flood of Qingjiao. But the old man didn't pay attention to him. ”

Wu Chunlai was stunned and said, "Why is that?" Why didn't Lu Xiang respond? ”

Lu Zhongtian smiled: "Do you think the imperial court will spend energy on this matter now?" Now what the emperor and those people are thinking about every day is the matter of changing the law, and everything else is put aside. The old man went to tell the emperor what Qingjiao was going to deal with, and the emperor must have thought that the old man was looking for trouble. ”

Wu Chunlai nodded slightly and said, "But now it's different, the Qingjiao has made trouble." If we don't take precautions, we won't be able to raise tigers. ”

Lu Zhongtian frowned and said, "Chunlai, do you mean that the imperial court sent troops to exterminate the Qingjiao?" Most of these Qingjiao members are ordinary people. Moreover, it now seems that the number has reached hundreds of thousands, spreading to more than a dozen states and counties. How many soldiers and horses do you have to send to exterminate them? What happens if they are forced to resist? Have you thought about it? Will the emperor agree? ”

"This ......," Wu Chunlai stroked his beard and frowned silently. Lu Xiang is right, if he sends troops to exterminate the Qingjiao, I am afraid that at least tens of thousands of troops will have to be dispatched. If the Qingjiao resists, it will be a big mess. On the contrary, Qingjiao had to be reversed.

"What Lu Xiang said is very true, Lin Jue and the others came back and said that nine out of ten of the Qingjiao members are blinded people. Once we send troops to encircle and suppress it, it will actually be the common people who will be exterminated. That's not a good idea. I also feel that the method of rashly sending troops to encircle and suppress may not be prudent enough. Zhu Zhirong said.

Wu Chunlai glared at Zhu Zhirong, and said in his heart: You will see the stitches and needles, and you will step on me without losing the opportunity.

"Then what does Master Zhu think? This must not sit idly by. Although the congregation is a common people, they have been deceived, and this is very different. Will the people be able to do whatever they want? Isn't it a joke? Wu Chunlai said in a deep voice.

"Vice Minister, that's not what Xia Guan meant. Xia Guan is saying to be cautious. Rushing to exterminate the army will make the consequences worse. This matter should be based on guidance, and it is not appropriate to act forcibly and brutally. Just like dealing with a flood, the more clogged it is, the more likely it is to have a big problem. Zhu Zhirong is neither humble nor arrogant.

Wu Chunlai smiled and said, "Hey, when will Lord Zhu say these words?" I think someone taught you, not you came up with it yourself. ”

Zhu Zhirong's face was slightly red, but he didn't hide it, and smacked his lips and said: "Deputy Prime Minister, it was Lin Jue who said it, and the lower officials felt that it made sense." ”

"Lin Jue?" Wu Chunlai and Lu Zhongtian were stunned.

Lu Zhongtian nodded and said, "Don't look at this Lin Jue who doesn't know how to lift, but what he said is reasonable." Spring is coming, this person is really not simple. What he said was actually something in his words. ”

Wu Chunlai arched his hand and said: "I am willing to listen to Lu Xiang's instructions." ”

Lu Zhongtian smiled: "Isn't this very clear? To say that it is advisable to be sparse and not to be blocked means that in order to solve this matter, it is necessary to find the fundamental cause and solution. This is the same old man's thoughts. ”

Wu Chunlai frowned and thought for a moment, and said softly: "What does Lu Xiang mean, there is still a secret in this matter?" ”

Lu Zhongtian said in a deep voice: "Don't you think about why the Qingjiao is spreading so quickly? Is it growing so fast? Why didn't there be a youth education before? How did you have a youth education now? And all of a sudden, it's all over the ground, what's the point? ”

Wu Chunlai thought silently for a moment, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said in a low voice: "Lu Xiang's meaning, is it because of ...... The reason for that? caused the people to be dissatisfied, so the Qingjiao took the opportunity to buy people's hearts? ”

Lu Zhongtian nodded slowly and said, "No, it doesn't matter." There was such a fierce commotion below, the people were dissatisfied, some people took the opportunity to buy people's hearts, and the people naturally flocked to it. Isn't it because of what the imperial court is doing that the people are doing in the local affairs that we have received from all over the place? It's just that those are small-scale events, and they will pass after a press. But only this Qingjiao, which is low-key and has expanded so much, is afraid that its ambition is not small. This is called Bu Ming, which is already a blockbuster, and if these things are not made this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the imperial court to notice this. In the future, when the thunder blows up the sky, there will be a sound of astonishment. So it's a good thing to know these things now. ”

Wu Chunlai showed a mysterious smile on his face, took a few steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Lu Xiang, isn't this a great opportunity?" If the reason behind it is really because the new law has aroused public indignation, wouldn't we just be able to use this opportunity to explain our interests to the emperor? ”

Lu Zhongtian's eyebrows moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Spring is coming, don't take it for granted." What about the evidence? Is it just the right thing for now? I'm afraid it's not enough. This is just a gathering of anti-official incidents, which time has there been no such news in the newspaper that was submitted? Has the emperor ever reacted? What is the number of young people? How is it organized? What means do you use to win people's hearts? What do they want to do? Are all of this clear? This dossier is only general, how can it be relied on? ”

Wu Chunlai thought for a while and said: "Chunlai understands, I will order people to go to various places to make secret visits, find out all the things in the Qingjiao, and record them in detail, which can be used as evidence at that time." ”

"It's not enough." Lu Zhongtian said lightly.

Wu Chunlai said: "Prime Minister Lu, please make it clear." ”

Lu Zhongtian didn't speak, only looked out of the house. Outside, the sun was setting, but the sun was dazzling and the air was hot. The ground was steaming hot. Waves of heat blow in with the breeze, making people feel like they are roasting in the oven.

Wu Chunlai suddenly understood, reached out and dipped the tea and wrote a few words on the table. Lu Zhongtian glanced at it obliquely, noncommittal. waved his hand and said: "Let's go, this matter is temporarily shelved and must not be spread." ”

Wu Chunlai smiled, bowed his hand, and quit the public house with Zhu Zhirong and others. On the table, the words 'regeneration incident' written on the tea quickly evaporated in the air, and finally gradually disappeared. Lu Zhongtian stared at the four disappeared words and fell into deep thought.
