Many people probably know that Gu Zhilun is guilty, but almost no one would believe that Lu Zheng would attack Gu Zhilun.

After all, Lu Zheng still needs to rely on Gu Zhilun's huge business and intelligence power. In addition, the contact between the entire Mesopotamian region and the north and the contact between Jiangnan and Jingjin are all in Gu Zhilun's hands. In this case, Gu Zhilun is a good deal. If Lu Zheng really turns against him, he might be able to turn to others immediately. In this way, Lu Zheng may face huge losses!

After thinking about it repeatedly, Gu Zhilun thought so, so after a brief panic, he became very calm again. Bingzhou is his territory. In his opinion, he has made so many contributions for Lu Zheng. Isn’t it too much to get a state from Lu Zheng?

Besides, if Lu Zheng really conquered the world, Gu Zhilun should have been appointed as the king. According to the old rules of Dakang, any founding meritorious deeds who were appointed as kings have fiefs, and Gu Zhilun may at least have the so-called fiefs in several states. In this case, what's wrong with Gu Zhilun defending Bingzhou for Lu Zheng?

Therefore, Chen Xuandu quickly took office as the magistrate of Taihe County, Bingzhou. His first stop had to go to Bingzhou to meet Gu Zhilun, but Chen Xuandu was stubborn. He didn't even have to Bingzhou at all, but went straight to Taihe County.

Taihe County is a famous county in Bingzhou, with a large population and relatively wealthy. Currently, Taihe County is empty, but there are county magistrates and county magistrates. The county magistrate is Gu Zhilun's confidant. The Gu family's relative was named Ma Zhi. Ma Zhi got the meaning of Bingzhou and asked him to give Chen Xuandu a warning no matter what.

In the words of the butler Gu Zhilun, Bingzhou does not allow officials who are disloyal to the marquis. Ma Zhi was originally a quarrel, and he was ambitious. This time he failed to go further from the position of county magistrate and promoted to county magistrate, and he was filled with anger. Now that he had received Gu Zhilun's instructions, there was nothing to say, so he simply turned the county magistrate, the magistrate, and the people of Chen Xuandu openly sang against Chen Xuandu.

First of all, he questioned Chen Xuandu's identity, saying that Chen Xuandu was born in poverty, so he was qualified to be the magistrate of Taihe County? He also said that Chen Xuandu forged official documents, and Chen Xuandu's official documents did not come from Bingzhou at all!

Chen Xuandu was also annoyed when he saw Ma Zhen so arrogant. He knew that although he was from a poor family, he acted absolutely decisively and decisively, and his words were too extreme. This time, he came to Taihe County Magistrate Ren was in a state of anger!

Although Ma Zhen has backed Gu Zhilun, he is very ambitious and talented. How can he compare his skills and talents with Chen Xuandu? Chen Xuandu simply took this opportunity to secretly fan the flames, making Ma Zhen feel that he has more opportunity to take advantage of. The so-called desire to destroy people must make people crazy.

Bingzhou is a military center, and there are garrisons in each county. Ma Zhen actually secretly wanted to collude with the county garrison to directly kill Chen Xuandu, and then reported to the top that Chen Xuandu died in the battle of the enemy chiefs invading the border. I have to say that this guy was simply crazy, and his "crazy" was also the result of Chen Xuandu's instigation.

At this point, Chen Xuandu took the opportunity to directly find the thousand garrisons, reveal his identity, and then publicize Lu Zheng's secret orders. The garrisons are all independent systems. Although Gu Zhilun is powerful, he can penetrate his influence into management at all levels and interfere in government affairs, but there are other systems for military affairs.

Lu Zheng's control over military affairs at all levels is very rigorous and harsh. When these thousand households saw Lu Zheng's secret decree, would it be too much to say? They immediately knew that they had been deceived and immediately apologized to Chen Xuandu.

Chen Xuandu directly ordered him to turn against him immediately and arrest Ma Zhi, and then openly tried in Taihe County, to bring down the evil deeds Ma Zhi had done over the years, punished several crimes, and finally eliminated the situation in Taihe immediately.

Ma has done a lot of shameful activities in Taihe County over the years. He has been accustomed to the people and even secretly robbed the women of the people. Now Chen Xuandu has the support of the army, which is simply ruinous and immediately pressed down Ma Zheng.

As for the other so-called officials in the county government, these people were originally those who were changing their minds. Seeing that the newly appointed county magistrate Chen Xuandu was so fierce, Ma Zhen was no match for him at all, and immediately turned against him.

Chen Xuandu was promoted to the hall to try Ma Jian's case. Ma Jian was arrogant and domineering at the beginning and cursed. Chen Xuandu slapped the auspicious wood and ordered the yamen runners to beat a hundred sticks and kill sticks first.

Poor Ma Xing has always been pampered and has never been beaten alone. After suffering this evil beating, how could he withstand it? Even though he cried and called his parents, his arrogance was completely beaten.

Chen Xuandu listed the evil things Ma Cheng has done in recent years, recorded various crimes in writing, and then posted them in Taihe County so that the people of Taihe County can know about Ma Cheng’s evil deeds.

The whole county was shocked for a moment, and the people rushed to praise Chen Xuandu as a clean official. Chen Xuandu used the help of public opinion and directly beat the horse to death. He was sentenced to death!

Ma Zhen was Gu Zhilun's confidant and a relative of the foreigners, so he was killed by Chen Xuandu. The news spread to Bingzhou, and Bingzhou was in an uproar. Especially Gu Zhilun's Marquis' Mansion, the housekeeper was stunned when he heard the news.

A certain concubine of Gu Zhilun from the Marquis's Mansion also made a big fuss and wanted to hang herself. Gu Zhilun was furious when he heard the news and immediately asked someone to go to Taihe County to arrest Chen Xuandu. He made up his mind to kill Chen Xuandu!

Fortunately, a counselor advised him at this time, saying, "Mr. Chen Xuandu is arrogant and domineering, but he is good at using his heart. Prince, look at Chen Xuandu's actions. He first took all the crimes of Ma Jian and asked Ma Jian to admit all these crimes.

Then, Chen Xuandu made public all the crimes committed by Ma Zhen, which made the people of the county excited and expressed support to him. In this case, he beheaded Ma Zhen again. All these procedures are in line with Dakang's convention, so that there are no flaws to be chosen.

If the Marquis really wanted to arrest Chen Xuandu under such circumstances, this would inevitably cause civil rebellion. Once the civil rebellion becomes stronger and the news spreads to the two rivers. Even if the prince can tolerate the Marquis, he would probably have to go to Lianghe in person to explain to him.

The prince also knew that the prince was also a person who could not get into the sand in his eyes. Now the prince is enjoying his fortune in Bingzhou, holding a state of land, controlling the business roads, and living a life is so unlucky. Why bother to make the prince angry for the establishment of a small horse?"

After hearing this, Gu Zhilun felt a little distressed. On the one hand, he called Ma Zhi a useless man, and on the other hand, he comforted his backyard. Gu Zhilun has become rich and richer in recent years, and other luxury is fine. The concubines in the backstage have almost increased a lot in a year. To put it too exaggeratedly, he can't remember how many women Gu Zhilun has in the backyard now.

But he remembered that this Aunt Ma was extremely good at flattering and was more liked by him. Now, Ma Jian is gone...

Gu Zhilun thought about it repeatedly, but he still felt that he couldn't swallow this breath, but he couldn't come out clearly, so he could only think of a solution in secret...

Besides, Chen Xuandu was the position of the county magistrate of Taihe County. His purpose was not as simple as Lu Zhengmu's people. He was just going to do Gu Zhilun's affairs! He investigated Gu Zhilun's various arrogance and domineering behavior in Bingzhou through various methods, and then reported these matters to Lu Zheng in detail.

He has the right to write secret remarks, and his secret remarks can be guaranteed to be seen by Lu Zheng. Gu Zhilun has long regarded Bingzhou as his independent kingdom, so almost all officials at Bingzhou are under the control of Gu Zhilun.

There is even the most excessive thing, that is, sometimes when officials in some places are vacant, Gu Zhilun does not report to the court or report to Lianghe, but instead directly puts his confidants on the top. This alone is a traitor.

You should know that the appointment of officials under Lu Zheng's rule must be approved by the Ministry of Personnel's Examination Department. According to this rule, Lu Zheng cannot appoint officials casually. Gu Zhilun can actually break all the rules and push his confidants up unscrupulously. This is simply to shake Lu Zheng's ruling foundation. In this case, Lu Zheng will definitely not tolerate it!

However, in fact, Lu Zheng still didn't move. He was still waiting for the opportunity to rest and recuperate in the two rivers. Officials at all levels were rotating to handle government affairs. Whenever officials who handle government affairs returned to Bianzhou from outside, Lu Zheng would summon them as soon as possible.

Then during the summoning process, Lu Zheng would show them the situation from Bingzhou and then ask for their opinions.

Almost everyone's advice to Lu Zheng was: "Your Majesty, it's time to use people now. Although Mr. Gu is acting in many ways that exceeds the rules, the prince now has to use this person.

Another more important point is that Mr. Gu has mastered the business paths in the world. Many contacts between our two rivers and the outside world need to be through the business path to work. In this case, the prince must not break this arm!"

Lu Zheng just smiled at this feedback and said, "Haha, you have made sense. I and Gu Zhilun knew each other in the early years. In recent years, Gu Zhilun paid a lot of money for his foundation, especially when we were trapped in Liaodong, we bought food and grass from the south, horses from the north, and traded from the south. It was very difficult. Can I not know the hard work in it?"

Then Lu Zheng would soon receive a secret report from Chen Xuandu. It was probably the content of Lu Zheng's conversation with the official who talked about was known to Gu Zhilun, or the official who talked about it was just that after leaving Lu Zheng, he immediately sent someone to Bingzhou to talk about it in person.

The mentality of these people is also very complicated. On the one hand, they are showing their merits. Naturally, Lu Zheng talks to them. They are defending Gu Zhilun everywhere. This is to ask Gu Zhilun to make it clear so that Gu Zhilun knows their merits.

Another thing is that they are loyal to Gu Zhilun, that is, the prince talks to them. They are never vague. At critical moments, they still support Gu Zhilun, the God of Wealth!

Lu Zheng repeatedly tempted. He first told ordinary officials about this matter, and then the officials grew bigger and bigger. Finally, he asked the counselors around him to talk about this matter. These counselors even included those who were close advisers such as Chen Lizhong, Qi Yuanzhi and Zhang Pinghua.

After he tried the civil servant, he went to find the military officer again. He tried all the eight great kings one by one, and then he asked Liu Song about this matter! Liu Song's attitude was very firm and said:

"Gu Zhilun should have been eliminated earlier. This man relied on his contributions and never took the prince seriously. He occupied Bingzhou to build a large-scale construction and regarded Bingzhou as his own independent kingdom. The interests of various powerful families were in conflict with him!
