Chapter 73 Complex Mood
Lu Xiangsheng returned to Luoyang earlier, but Lu Xiangsheng considered that in Luoyang City, many people were old officials of the imperial court and defected to the heavenly army. Some of them had seen him, so after his injury was slightly better, he asked to move to Ruzhou to recuperate.
So Liu Bao sent someone to escort him to Ruzhou City, found a quiet yard, and placed him in Ruzhou City.
Although Lu Xiangsheng has accepted his fate, he does not want to turn to Xiao Tianjian so early. He feels that many things need to be observed before it is decided. After all, his identity is not easy to show up now. Once his identity is revealed, the court will inevitably be angry with his family, so he temporarily resigned from Xiao Tianjian. Please be a hermit in Ruzhou City.
After Xiao Tianjian came back, he did not forget Lu Xiangsheng. After arranging all kinds of affairs, he personally went to Ruzhou to meet Lu Xiangsheng, a "friend" who had been friends for a long time.
The meeting between the two people was very low-key. Xiao Tianjian only took Tietou alone to Lu Xiangsheng's residence. After this period of recuperation, Lu Xiangsheng has basically recovered from his injury and can walk on the ground. He is also a naturally idle person. As soon as he can walk around the ground, he immediately takes Li Qi around the city. Come on.
Because of Xiao Tianjian's instructions, although few people know Lu Xiangsheng's true identity, the people of Xing Tianjun also know that Mr. Lu is very valued by Xiao Tianjian, so the material guarantee given to him is very sufficient. He not only sends guards to take charge of his safety, but also sends him carriages, drivers, cooks and others to take care of him. .
Therefore, with Lu Xiangsheng's physical permission, it is no problem to go out for activities. Not long after Lu Xiangsheng was able to move, he saw a lot of places in Ruzhou. When he saw a large number of exiles placed on the land by the Xing Tianjun, a large number of farmland was newly reclaimed, and the markets inside and outside the city were also restored. When he recovered, some materials began to flow again, sighing at Xiao Tianjian's ability to govern the country.
On the one hand, Xiao Tianjian wants to maintain a strong force. On the other hand, it can also make the people settle down in agriculture and merchants resume business, which requires a lot of ability. Today, it is precisely because the Ming Dynasty has not dealt with these things well that it has led to the civil army in China and fell into difficulties at home and abroad. Medium.
As the hegemon, it is really difficult for Xiao Tianjian to restore the people's livelihood and economy to this in a short period of time. This also shows that Xiao Tianjian not only has the desire to compete for hegemony, but also knows how to sympathize with the people. At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng can also see that as a new group, Xing Tianjun's The civil servants in the literati system are obviously much more honest than the officials of the government, and they are more than ten times more efficient. In the area of Ruzhou, although the Xing Tianjun has not controlled Jinnan for a long time, it also shows signs of the recovery of people's livelihood. The people are diligent in farming, the officials are diligent in civil affairs, and there is a strong force on the market. Xing Tianjun came to maintain it, and the people's hearts are very stable. Although it is not rich, this situation is also extremely rare in the Central Plains of Daming and the North.
As long as the people mentioned Xing Tianjun and Xiao Tianjian, they all gave a thumbs and praised them. They all said that if it hadn't been for Xing Tianjun, they would have starved to death or died in a military disaster. Now although they are still very poor, at least they have food to eat. Even if they don't have enough to eat, they are always better than before. There are too many, so they can be said to be grateful to Xiao Tianjian, but when it comes to the government and the court, they all cursed, which made Lu Xiangsheng even more emotional after listening to it.
Lu Xiangsheng can see that if Xiao Tianjian goes on like this, it is only a matter of time to get the world. Although he used to be an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, he basically wants to work for the people while working for the country, which makes Lu Xiangsheng reduce Xiao Tianjian. A lot of resistance is also the main reason why he can accept his fate.
On the way home, Lu Xiangsheng thought to himself that if Xiao Tianjian was really a wise master, then although he had the reputation of being a minister, if he could do something for the people, it would not be a bad thing.
After walking into his yard with Li Qi in such a mood, suddenly Li Qi shouted in surprise, "Shang Xiao!"
Lu Xiangsheng then looked up and saw a man with a great figure in plain clothes and a beard standing in the yard holding his fist and smiling at him.
"I've met Mr. Lu, Xiao Tianjian!" The plainly dressed man hugged his fist and said.
Lu Xiangsheng saw the legendary Xiao Tianjian himself for the first time. After a little stunned, he smiled bitterly and shook his head and saluted, "I've seen Marshal Xiao..."
When the two sat in the humble study and Li Qi looked at the tea, Xiao Tianjian looked at the environment here and smiled, "It's really too aggrieved to let Mr. Lu live here! Why doesn't you live in Luoyang? In this way, it is more convenient for Xiao to consult him at any time!"
Lu Xiangsheng smiled indifferently and said, "Lu is not a person who likes luxury. It's already very good here. It's rare and pure. You can read more books and read more about the world. It's much more comfortable than before! I'm not used to living in Luoyang. It's better to live here!
I haven't thanked the commander-in-chief for his life-saving kindness, but why didn't the general let him die in front of the two armies? In this way, he would get the name of a loyal minister! It won't be in such a situation as it is now!" In his words, Lu Xiangsheng still revealed a strong sense of regret.
After listening to this, Xiao Tianjian could hear that Lu Xiangsheng was still a little difficult to let go of the past, so he laughed and said, "Late ministers should not be treated like this!" Everything Mr. Lu should do has been done! But what did the court give to the adults?
Your Excellency may not know that the court has now gone to the sea to arrest the gentleman and sent a large number of arresters to search for the lord in Hebei! When Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian of the cabinet department put all the charges on the adult's head, saying that the defeat of the giant deer was that the adult was afraid of the enemy to avoid the battle and escape from the battle. Gao Qiqian even killed the soldiers under the command of the adult rescued by Xiao indiscriminately, just to make the adult's charge!
And the emperor in the court is by no means a wise king. He seems to be a heavy use of adults, but he is constrained everywhere. He wants to make peace with the tars secretly, but he doesn't want to bear such a name, so it is convenient to use Yang Sichang and high potential people to frame the adults everywhere! It's okay for such a emperor not to be loyal!"
Lu Xiangsheng said angrily, "General Xiao said cautiously that it was not a sacred intention to discuss the matter with the tatars, but the secret deeds of Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian. Even if Lu has now become a minister, he is not happy to hear that Marshal Xiao slanders him so much!" Lu Xiangsheng was unwilling to admit that Zhu Youjian was a faint king. For his current situation, he still insisted that it was caused by Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian, and Zhu Youjian was just blinded!
Xiao Tianjian sneered and said, "Xiao didn't mean to splash dirty water on today's emperor!" On the surface, it seems to be the same thing, so let's talk about why the adults are the governor of the guards and horses, but they have no right to control the power of the world's reinforcements, but they first have to subporate most of the Guanning Army to take charge, first take most of the elite troops, and then let Chen Xinjia take most of the military power of the adults, but still want the adults. What about chasing the construction of the slave army with a weak brigade?
If it's just the work of these villains such as Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian, how can they have the right to do so? Your excellency, don't hope for the person sitting in the court today! The reason why Xiao said this is not just hearsay or analysis! Because I'm afraid the adults don't know that the little man Gao Qiqian has been captured by the bottom! In this way, in fact, it is all confessed by Gao Qiqian!
From beginning to end, the man who was in the court did not intend to use his strength to resist Jiannu. In his opinion, Jiannu was invincible. It would be better to let them enter the country and plunder, withdraw from the customs and save troops to deal with it one day! As for the suffering of the people, it is not what he cares about! Hypocritical villain! If the emperor who doesn't treat his people as a person in this way can still be respected! Bah!" After saying that, Xiao Tianjian spat at the ground with a hateful face.
After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng's eyes suddenly widened and immediately stood up and said, "How did Gao Qiqian also fall into the hands of the general?"
Xiao Tianjian then simply told Lu Xiangsheng about the defeat of the latent soldiers and the later capture by Xing Tianjun.
After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng grited his teeth and scolded, "This damn euper!" I'm really angry this time.
"In fact, Xiao was not a hero at the beginning. In Xiao's opinion, the price paid for doing this kind of conspiracy is too high, but it is better to be a good person! But do adults know that Xiao was surrounded by some hungry people and wanted to kill Xiao's despair when he ate meat? Adults certainly don't know! What did the court do when we people came to such an end? What they have done is just a layer of money, year after year! If we don't fight back, how can we live? As the king of a country, if you can't even fill the stomachs of most of the people, I don't think it's okay to be the emperor! It's better to replace people and live more people! If the king of a country can't even guard the gate of the country and wants to let the Jiannu enter the bandits at will and destroy the people, then I don't think this emperor is as good as a person who can guard the gate for him, and he doesn't want to make this great river and mountain into the hands of the tatars sooner or later!" Xiao Tianjian stood up and said loudly to Lu Xiangsheng.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at the heroic Xiao Tianjian and immediately heard his ambition, so he asked Xiao Tianjian, "So if you win the world, can you save the people from water and fire?" Can it guarantee the integrity of the officials in the world? Can we keep this great river and mountain from being invaded by the tachment?
After Xiao Tianjian glanced at Lu Xiangsheng, he nodded and said, "You asked very well. I really dare not say that everyone in the world can eat and eat, but I will try my best to do it, at least let those hard-working people wear clothes and food! When the people are affected, I will try my best to give them relief, reduce or exempt their taxes, and help them tide over the difficulties! Reprod the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!
I can't guarantee that every official is honest, but I will try my best to establish a supervising wit, survival of the fittest, and let capable people manage the world, instead of making the government full of city fox rats, roosters, dogs and thieves!
I can't guarantee that my great China will not be invaded by any tarants, but I will say like the emperor of the Han Dynasty, those who offend my Han will be killed no matter how far away they are! I won't make our army so weak now! I will build a strong army that is proud of the world, expand the territory, defend the interests of my great China, and let all countries come to the court!
I don't know if you are satisfied with Xiao's answer?"
Lu Xiangsheng stared at Xiao Tianjian with sharp eyes for a long time, while Xiao Tianjian stood proudly in front of Lu Xiangsheng and stared at Lu Xiangsheng's eyes calmly. His eyes were clear and did not shrink. After Lu Xiangsheng stared at Xiao Tianjian's eyes for a long time, his eyes suddenly softened much softer, and then bowed to Xiao Tianjian: "Mr. Lu remembers the commander-in-chief's words. I hope the commander-in-chief can put the people in the world first. If the commander-in-chief goes his word and becomes fat, then although Lu's strength is limited, he will definitely give up this life and take your life..."
