Zhurou

Chapter 5
Lu Xianzhang's mind was full of thoughts, but Zhao Mingzhi who was opposite him looked at him through the veiled hat.

A year later, Di Ren broke the city. It was this young official who led less than [-] soldiers to fight desperately, and was hacked to death at last.

He looks a little weak, and his ability is still young, but his loyalty to the emperor is beyond doubt.

Although the Great Jin Dynasty is in turmoil, it is not hopeless. Now it is not after the capital is moved, everyone's backbone is broken, and there are still loyal people. As long as they are discovered one by one and put back in their positions, there may not be a chance of life.

At this moment, the most important thing is not to continue fleeing south.

The so-called emperor dies for the country, and the courtiers die for the country.

If everyone stays far away, how can the frontline soldiers be expected to fight the enemy with their lives?
Zhao Mingzhi thought for a moment, then asked: "It's nothing else, it's just that today I got the emperor's blood letter from the north, Lu Canzheng, according to what you think, what should your Majesty do?"

The girl's voice was clear and lingering, like the gurgling water in the mountains, and there was even a faint softness, which was extremely pleasant.

As soon as Lu Xianzhang heard it, he didn't react for a while, but after a while, he was shocked.

Didn't you come here to ask about marriage?

He couldn't tell whether it was embarrassment or regret, but when he figured out what it meant, he paused and replied: "My humble opinion is that Beidi is really a beast, and there is no way of faith, so don't let it go easily. With a body of gold, how can I go north in person, if the thief turns back on what he said, I have nothing to hold back..."

Zhao Mingzhi let out a "huh", but asked again: "Then why didn't you see any political participation in the palace today?"

The doors and windows in the hall were not closed, obviously stiffened by the cold wind, but Lu Xianzhang's face turned red all of a sudden, so he could only reply in embarrassment: "The military and state affairs are related to the community, today's incident happened suddenly, my minister It’s too late to think about it, so naturally I dare not criticize it at will.”

He spoke high-soundingly, but he was very clear in his heart: it was not because of other reasons that he didn't speak out during the day, it was simply because he didn't want to be that early bird.

At this time, the situation in the court is so complicated. Although the new emperor is on the throne, he is too young to control the court at all.

Even though the Taishanghuang is far away in the north, he still occupies the triple weight of righteousness, country, and family.

The speed of Di Ren's southward movement continued unabated. If this trend followed, it would not take long for Anfeng's army to be defeated.

The Great Jin has been defeated repeatedly, and it may be driven out, and the fleeing court may not have long to live. Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is better to surrender, and less people will die.

But it is one thing to die a country, and another thing to surrender.

If Zhao Hong surrenders again, the monarchs, ministers, and common people will really become slaves to the subjugated country, and the proponents will also become eternal sinners.

But if he doesn't surrender, and if he loses his life because of this, who will be charged with this crime?
Talking about losing their reputation, talking about war offended the Zhuhe faction who is in power, and there are countless heads and tails. Anyone who knows how to protect themselves will not stand out at this time.

——Those who were demoted, punished and even killed because of their efforts to fight, isn't it a lesson from the past?
Zhao Mingzhi heard the words but said: "Then... from the point of view of participating in politics, the letters from the north do not mean to be ignored?"

The other party has the grace of saving his life, Lu Xianzhang has little defense in his heart.

He got an official late, was promoted by meritorious service during times of chaos, and had little experience in officialdom, so he was no match for those high-ranking officials. When he saw that the person across the street was wearing plain clothes, his waist and limbs were not full, and the soft man holding the stove was slender and slender. In general, one can't help thinking that it has been more than two years since his father, King Jia passed away, and only one sister and one younger brother are forced to walk in panic in this troubled world, so he can't help but feel pity again.

Lu Xianzhang immediately ignored any prudence and self-protection, and replied: "For such an important matter, it is natural that the court and the central government have to discuss it in detail. How can there be any results in a short time?"

He also hinted: "Besides, the two countries have diplomatic relations, and we have to send envoys to each other to negotiate. How can we agree to the plans of the northerners..."

This is what it means to ask for a price and pay back the money.

He was afraid that the third princess would not understand what he meant, so he added, "When the north is at war, it's really not easy for envoys to communicate. I don't know what age it will be after the agreement."

As soon as the words came out, Lu Xianzhang regretted it.

He was afraid that the third princess would understand, and he was also afraid that she would not understand.

Clearly reminding the envoy of a "drag" tactic to let the Supreme Emperor die in the hands of the Beiren, such a plan should not have come from the mouth of the minister.

Even if all the ministers think so in their hearts, they cannot say so.

Zhao Mingzhi was noncommittal, pondered for a moment, and said: "Back then, I was in Xiangfu County with the Political Council, and you devoted yourself to serving the country and not sacrificing yourself when facing the enemy. Now that the Great Jin Dynasty is in crisis, I hope that you will be consistent in participating in politics—— If you also keep silent, wouldn't all the court be silent?"

Lu Xianzhang's face was only reddish at first, but now it turned red all of a sudden.

He was originally worried that the third princess would not be able to understand his hidden meaning, but he didn't want the other party to be so smart, not only heard it, but also secretly mentioned it here.

Being pointed out in person by the opposite sex, especially Lu Xianzhang's original intention to be a scholar-bureaucrat with a long history, and deep down in his heart, he still has some inhumane thoughts about the other party. He is really ashamed and embarrassed. How to talk back.

Zhao Mingzhi gave him a meaningful look, and said: "Although your majesty is young, he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. The so-called jade is broken and tiles are complete. From the perspective of participating in politics, is your majesty jade or tile?"

Lu Xianzhang was startled.

Junyu is not a tile, so why question it.

Just thinking about the performance of the emperor in court, Lu Xianzhang inevitably hesitated again.

Although what the three princesses said was categorical, but today, when the young emperor heard that he was going north to plead guilty, he was so frightened that he burst into tears. How can he tell the truth from the fake?

Zhao Mingzhi didn't talk too much to Lu Xianzhang, seeing that he had lost his mind, he invited the guests to see him off.

——It’s useless to say more by yourself, the most important person has to speak.

She turned and went back into the back room.

Seeing Zhao Mingzhi's return, several maids who served in the court surrounded him as if they had won the backbone.

"Three princesses!"

"Third Princess! Your Majesty is having a nightmare again..."

Zhao Mingzhi hurried into the house.

The doors and windows in the house were tightly closed, and stoves were placed in the four corners to burn charcoal.

She had been blown all the way by the cold wind just now, and when she entered the room, she not only felt stuffy, but also her head was heavy from the incense. She looked around, and sure enough, she saw an incense burner on the wooden cabinet beside the bed, curling up. white smoke.

When the tightly-covered curtain was lifted, the sweet smell was even stronger, making people even a little out of breath.

On the bed, the young emperor Zhao Hong's face was flushed, as if he was in a nightmare, he waved his hands and kicked his legs indiscriminately, whimpering softly.

Zhao Mingzhi's complexion changed, and he asked, "Why don't you wake up Your Majesty?"

　Today, I saw Zhenzhen Meow’s science popularization, and now the website seems to have an assessment for follow-up reading, and through this to determine follow-up exposure recommendations and the like.

　　Fortunately, I may not be very good at writing, but I have a thick skin. I would like to shamelessly ask everyone to remember that my rice bowl is still empty and can hold all kinds of miscellaneous tickets, and on the other hand, don’t support me anymore. .

　　There is a high probability that this article will fall to V, in line with the principle of being cheap and not taking advantage of bastards, gentlemen!Come and chase me!Come kill me!Five chapters, very fat! ! !
