"Brother, why are you still speaking for Xuanzhen? No matter how good Xuanzhen is, it's a rebellion!" Lu Xiangguan said dissatisfied.
Xue Zexi smiled, and looked at Lu Xiangguan, "In your opinion, Xuanzhen is rebellion? It means disloyalty, injustice, and inhumanity?"
"Isn't it? As a courtier, why do you have to go against the chaos? A courtier should behave well and dedicate everything in Xuanzhen to the court!" Lu Xiangguan said eloquently.
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help shaking his head when he heard Lu Xiangguan's words.
"Hehe!" Xue Zexi sneered, and then said: "This little brother really has a vision! Give the things from Xuanzhen to the court? Let me ask you, is it dedicated to the court or to the treacherous officials of the court? Today's court is a I don’t tell you what it looks like. In the second year of Chongzhen, Jiannu broke through the Xifeng Pass and plundered the land of Gyeonggi. If there is no Lord Zongbing, do you think Jiannu can retreat so easily?”
"I admit that this is all due to him, but he shouldn't rebel, he should contribute to the court, regain Liaodong, and put down the thieves." Lu Xiangguan said forcefully.
"Then was he charged with unwarranted charges?" Xue Zexi asked rhetorically, "Like Yue Fei in the Song Dynasty, who died in the Fengbo Pavilion, or was he taken away from the soldiers and horses, and imprisoned in the name of the master of the earthquake?"
"The imperial court won't!" Lu Xiangguan said unconvinced.
"No? Why not? Back then, Lord Chief Soldier had just made great military exploits. Originally, the court should have rewarded him generously, but what happened? The result was that the court rewarded his subordinates and forgot about him.
What do you think the court wants to do?Furthermore, before Lord Zongbing raised his troops, the imperial court asked Mr. Zongbing to go to the capital to participate in the Longevity Festival.Before the commander-in-chief went, the imperial court mobilized Guanning cavalry, Datong, and Jingying troops to block the water around the capital. What do you think this is for?
From the beginning to the present, the commander-in-chief has never received a penny of military salary from the imperial court, and he doesn't even have manpower.
Everything was saved bit by bit by Mr. Zongbing. Later, when the court saw that Mr. Zongbing was rich and powerful, and he had made great military exploits, he wanted to kill the donkey. You said, is this possible?
The officials in the DPRK and China are extremely corrupt. The commander-in-chief made great military exploits back then, so it’s fine if there is no reward. He wants to repeat the old incident. Is this convincing? "Xue Zexi looked at Lu Xiangguan sarcastically.
"No, the imperial court will not do this. And even if the imperial court wants to deal with him, he can't resist, let alone raise troops to rebel. You must know the truth that the emperor wants his ministers to die, and the ministers must die. Human relations?" Lu Xiangguan had a hard mouth, blushed and thick neck, arguing with Xue Zexi.
"Hehe!" Xue Zexi laughed angrily at Lu Xiangguan's words.
"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! I really don't know what to say about you. The king ordered the minister to die, and the minister had to die. Then if one day, you have made great military exploits and the court wants to kill you, will you kill me immediately? After Xue Zexi finished speaking, his eyes fixed on Lu Xiangguan.
Lu Xiang watched Xue Zexi, his face flushed red, and he was speechless for a long time.
"You said that Lord Chief Soldier is a rebel, so let me ask you again, who owns this world? Who do you think belongs to this world?" Xue Zexi asked back.
"Of course it is the world of Ming Dynasty, it is the world of the imperial court!" Lu Xiangguan retorted loudly.
"What about the people of the world? Isn't this world the world of the people of the world? You are also a scholar, and you should know the saying that the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least.
However, how many emperors can listen to this sentence?If this sentence can really be followed, then where is the rise of thieves like Li Zicheng?How could there be thieves in the world who can't be wiped out?
You say that this world belongs to Daming, but what about before Daming?Is it the world of Qianyuan?In this way, did Emperor Taizu Gao also rebel?
In other words, before the Yuan Dynasty, this world was the world of the former Song Dynasty.Should Emperor Taizu Gao be the descendant of Zhao Song after conquering the world? "Xue Zexi kept talking.
Lu Xiangguan slapped the table and shouted: "You are making too much sense, you are making too much sense, you, you, you..."
Lu Xiangguan wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute.
The education he had received since he was a child was to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic to the country. He had never heard such remarks from Xue Zexi.
"Don't pat the table, don't be angry. If there is no Lord Zongbing, Jiannu will go south sooner or later, and the shame of Jingkang will be in front of you.
Even if Jiannu didn't go south, thieves like Li Zicheng would rise up, and the world would also perish by then.
I don't even need to tell you what Jian Nu and Liu Thief are.Do you think that by that time, will there still be a safe place in this world?
Rogues don't know how to produce, just like locusts, they only know how to destroy.If the bandits sit down, it will be the greatest suffering for the people of the world.
Needless to say Jiannu, if they sit in the world, they will definitely go too far than thieves.At that time, the world will bleed and float, and corpses will be everywhere. "
Xue Zexi stood up from the chair and walked to the window. He looked at the scenery outside the window, "The imperial court is extremely corrupt, and Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, is even more of an elm lump. The people of the world are living in dire straits. Slaves and thieves are wiped out, and other crises will appear in the future.
The treacherous ministers in the court are in power, and the people of the world are in dire straits. This is the world today.This world is not only the world of Ming Dynasty, but also the world of the people of the world. The emperor has no virtue, and those who are capable will replace him.The imperial court has no virtue, and those who are capable will replace it.This is the truth that has not changed since ancient times!

Chapter 552
"Now that the energy of the Great Ming Dynasty is exhausted, it is time for the Chief Soldier to reorganize the country." Xue Zexi's voice was sonorous and powerful, and he watched Lu Xiangsheng and his brothers speak loudly.
Lu Xiangguan blushed and said with a thick neck: "There is no reason for what you said. You are making excuses. Even if it is to reorganize the country, it should not be done by Zhao Wen's rebellion. He is just a subordinate, and he is committing crimes below! "
"The next one? Hehe, it's really funny. Let me ask you, how do you think the people in Xuanzhen are doing now? You can walk around Xuanzhen, ask questions, and see what the people in Xuanzhen say, and see how they are. Do you prefer to live in Xuanzhen or in Daming?
Let me tell you, did you know what Xuanzhen looked like before the Chief Soldier came to Xuanzhen?At that time, Xuan Town was similar to other important towns on the Nine Borders. Although it had the name of an important town on the Nine Borders, it hadn't known how it had declined for a long time.
In Xuanzhen at that time, military households and ordinary people lived in dire straits. They often did not have enough to eat, and their clothes were covered with patches.Even so, many people don't even have clothes.
Some children are all thirteen or fourteen years old, because they have no clothes to wear, so they can only bare their buttocks.Every winter, many people starve to death.Let me ask you, if you were a citizen of Xuanzhen, would you still want to go back to your previous life? "Xue Zexi looked at Lu Xiangguan and said in a low voice.
"But no matter what, Zhao Wen is a rebel, he is always a rebel, he will always be a rebel." Lu Xiangguan said sarcastically.
Lu Xiangguan is a very traditional scholar. In his opinion, no matter what reasons Zhao Wen has, he is a traitor. No matter how he conceals it, he cannot cover it up.
"Hehe, this world is not only the world of Ming Dynasty, but also the world of the people in the world. Do you know how many people in the world are living in dire straits? Do you know how many people freeze to death every winter because they don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes? ?
Do you think you are a loyal minister?You are nothing, if you are a loyal minister, why didn't you go shopping with Jiannu when Jiannu invaded the capital?All of them can only recite poems and compose odes, and they can only squat at the end and talk about it. You are not loyal, you are foolish and loyal, and you are trying to gain fame.
If there is no Lord Chief Soldier, once Jiannu enters the customs, the whole world will perish at that time.Are you willing to subjugate the country or the world?
If Mr. Zong Bing reorganizes the country, only Daming will perish, but the world will not change at all, and it will even become better than before.
If the slaves enter the customs, the sandalwood enters the Central Plains, and the Huaxia sinks, the world will perish at that time, just like the Yuan Dynasty, you and I are just the bottom of the untouchables!
From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many dynasties have passed. Except for the former Yuan Dynasty, everything has been inherited.
Let me tell you, the change of dynasties is unstoppable, it is the general trend of the world.The Ming Dynasty has been in the world for more than 200 years and nearly 300 years. This length is not short in history, and it is time for a change! "
Xue Zexi spoke fiercely, constantly refuting Lu Xiangguan.
Lu Xiangsheng sat next to Lu Xiangguan, listening to the conversation between the two without interrupting.
Lu Xiangsheng's expression was sometimes puzzled, sometimes blank, and sometimes dignified.
After Xue Zexi finished speaking, he picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it on his own.
Lu Xiangsheng and Lu Xiangjin fell into silence, thinking about what Xue Zexi said just now.
As for Lu Xiangguan, he still wanted to refute, but he really couldn't think of any words to refute Xue Zexi.
Lu Xiangsheng kept thinking in his heart. In Lu Xiangsheng's view, Zhao Wen's rebellion was rebellion, no matter how you say it, it was rebellion.
But when he came to Xuan Town today and saw the situation in Xuan Town and Xue Zexi's words, Lu Xiangsheng's heart also began to waver.
"Yes, this world is not only the world of Ming Dynasty, but also the world of the people of the world. The saints once said that the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least. Doesn't this mean that the most important thing in the world is the people?
There is no difference between the country of Ming Dynasty and the country of former Yuan, former Song and former Tang. The only difference is that the people in China are different.
I am a subject of Ming Dynasty, but I am also a subject of the world..."
Lu Xiangsheng kept thinking in his heart, and his mentality began to change.
In fact, since Lu Xiangsheng set foot on the land of Xuanzhen, Lu Xiangsheng's mentality has begun to change, but he doesn't know it.
Xue Zexi finished the last level of tea in the teacup and put the teacup on the table.
Xue Zexi coughed twice, and said: "I don't tell you what Xuanzhen looks like now, isn't the look of Xuanzhen now what we scholars want to see?
Isn't what we scholars seek is the stability of the world, the prosperity of the people, and the wisdom of the emperor?Now Xuanzhen is stable, the people are rich, and the commander-in-chief is also very wise.
Under the command of Lord Zongbing, I dare not say that everyone is a capable and wise person, but they are definitely more than twice as good as the officials of the imperial court.
If the world can be stabilized, the people will be prosperous, and the glory of the Three Generations can be restored, what is the point of being a traitor?
After the world is reorganized by Lord Zongbing, Jieshi will definitely regain the glory of the rule of the three generations.At that time, anyone who follows Mr. Zongbing will definitely leave his name in history and pass it on through the ages! "
"The rule of three generations? Can the rule of three generations really be realized?" Lu Xiangsheng looked at Xue Zexi and asked.
In the eyes of ancient scholars, the rule of three generations is the largest and most famous prosperity in history.
In ancient times, scholars with aspirations and ideals all wanted to see the emergence of the rule of three generations, and Lu Xiangsheng was no exception.
"Isn't it possible? You can see a leopard in the middle of a tube, and you can see the whole picture from one spot. Couldn't Xuanzhen today be compared to the rule of three generations?" Xue Zexi asked rhetorically.
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he became silent again.
To be honest, Lu Xiangsheng has never seen a scene like Xuanzhen.
There is not a single hungry person in the city, all the people are wearing new clothes and have smiles on their faces.
Lu Xiangsheng has never seen or heard of the prosperity of the people in Xuan Town. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for him to believe that there would be such a scene in the world.
"There are no hungry people in the city, the people are rich, courteous, and the atmosphere is extraordinary. There is nothing in the whole world that can compare with it." Lu Xiangsheng said slowly with a deep breath.
While a few people were talking, the door was opened from the outside, and a few waiters came in with dinner plates.
"Gentlemen, your food has arrived!" A waiter brought the plate in his hand to the table and took off the food on it.
After the meals were arranged neatly, Xue Zexi waved his hands at them, "Go out!"
Xiao Er bowed respectfully to several people, and then walked out.
Xue Zexi looked at the food on the table, but didn't move his chopsticks in a hurry.
"You don't live in Xuanzhen, so you don't know what Xuanzhen is like today, so I will introduce it to you in detail.
In fact, I also rely on you guys to be extraordinary, not like ordinary people, and after I met you, I felt very hit-and-miss, that's why I brought you here. Notify the government and arrest him! "Xue Zexi looked at Lu Xiangsheng and told the reason why he brought them here.
"Today's Xuan Town..."
During the next two or so hours, Xue Zexi introduced all aspects of Xuanzhen to Lu Xiangsheng and the others.
Lu Xiangsheng stared at Xue Zexi, not daring to be in a trance for a moment, and quietly listened to Xue Zexi's voice.
Among them, if you encounter something you don't understand, you can ask.
Regarding Lu Xiangsheng's inquiry, Xue Zexi explained it to him in detail.
Because I listened carefully, I didn't cook the food all the time.
In the end, the food was completely cold.
When the sun began to set on the western mountain, Xue Zexi stood up, and cupped his hands at Lu Xiangsheng and the others, "Let's stop here today, it's already here, I should go back, I invite you for today's meal , I will notify the shopkeeper later and let them arrange accommodation for you."
Lu Xiangsheng did not refuse either. He stood up and bowed back, "In that case, thank you very much. I haven't asked your name yet!"
"Xue Zexi, who was originally from Tongzhou, Zhili, has been in Xuanzhen for four or five years!" Xue Zexi replied.
"This is Lu Xiangsheng, this is my younger brother Lu Xiangguan and Lu Xiangjin!" Lu Xiangsheng pointed to Lu Xiangguan and Lu Xiangjin.
"Stop talking, it's going to be dark soon, I'll take my leave first!" Xue Zexi cupped his hands at several people, and then walked out.
Lu Xiangsheng and others hurriedly followed behind Xue Zexi and sent Xue Zexi out.
When he came back, the shopkeeper arranged the rooms for several people.
The place where Lu Xiangsheng lives is in the backyard. It is a suite with three bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom. The layout of the room is similar to that of later generations.
Today, the layout of suites in Xuanzhen inns is similar to that of later generations. This layout first started from the post houses in Xuanzhen. Later, these inns in the city looked good, so it spread.
Lu Xiangsheng stood in front of the living room window. He looked at the yard outside the window, and kept thinking about what Xue Zexi said today.
Lu Xiangguan walked behind Lu Xiangsheng, "Brother, you are not bewitched by today's Xue Zexi, are you? This person is a person who deceives people with lies. Everything he said seems to make sense, but it is all nonsense!"
Lu Xiangsheng turned around and looked at Lu Xiangguan, "Is it confusing or not? I just think what Xue Zexi said today makes sense. Although there are still some things I haven't figured out, I have already grasped the main points. I guess it won't be long." It takes a long time to think it through thoroughly.”
"I said brother, you can't listen to Xue Zexi's bewitching, we are from Ming Dynasty. The most important thing for us scholars is integrity, integrity must not be lost, if we lose integrity at this time, future generations will scold us to death." Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng was a little shaken, Lu Xiangguan hurriedly persuaded him.
Lu Xiangsheng did not answer Lu Xiangguan directly, but instead asked: "I ask you a question!"
"What's the problem?" Lu Xiangguan looked at Lu Xiangsheng suspiciously.
Lu Xiangsheng said: "If you were asked to choose one in front of the people of the world and His Majesty, what would you choose?"
"Why would Big Brother ask such a question?" Lu Xiangguan asked puzzled.
Lu Xiangguan really couldn't answer this question. If he chose the emperor, he would definitely bear the name of a courtier.From ancient times to the present, almost everyone who bears the name of a mesmerizing minister will end badly.
People scolded people when they were alive, and they will be scolded in the history books when they are dead.
But if you choose the common people, for the emperor, it will become a disloyal minister.
From Lu Xiangguan's point of view, no matter what he chooses, it's not easy to choose.
"Do you know Haigangfeng Haibistand? This person chose the common people back then, and the public security notice shocked the government and the public, scolded Emperor Sejong bloody, and refuted Emperor Sejong as worthless. Logically speaking, like this His ministers should be treacherous ministers, but at that time the government and the opposition wanted to keep him.
Emperor Sejong hated him so much, but there was nothing he could do.
Yan Song chose the emperor back then, and he believed that Emperor Sejong obeyed, and he was Emperor Sejong's kowtow.
Who do you think is the loyal and the traitor of the two? " Lu Xiangsheng asked.
"Needless to say, it must be Hai Rui Hai's pen holder. Yan Song is just a lucky person, a man who is fascinated, how can he compare with Hai Rui?" Lu Xiang said without even thinking about it.
