Chapter 381: National Righteousness

Lin Wan smiled lightly, turned his head to look at Lu Zhixin, and replied, "Lord Lu, please allow Master Lu to help Amu prepare for this matter." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info one, Lu Gongzi is your only son, and most of the wealthy merchants in the city will give some face. Second, Lu Gongzi is a student of Mr. Qiu of Jiangnan Academy, representing the attitude and position of Jiangnan Academy, and the Chinese people in the city should also express their respect for this matter. ”

Lu Zhiqian looked at his son, and saw that Lu Zhixin's eyes were full of excitement, and he nodded to himself again and again, obviously very much in favor of this matter.

However, Lu Zhiqian still had doubts in his heart. In this way, if the prince gains power in the future and has a grudge against the Lu family, he can cut off relations with his son and protect the overall situation. However, although this can avoid the involvement of the Lu family, his only son has ruined his future since then, how can he easily decide?

After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Zhiqian didn't come up with an answer, only nodded lightly, and said, "Miss Amu's proposal, this official needs to think again." Brother Qi and Miss Amu must be very tired when they come from afar, please go with Manager Zhang to the customer to rest for a while. How about waiting for this official to discuss with the dog, and then give Brother Qi and Miss Amu an answer later?"

Qi Xun clenched his fists and said loudly: "Okay, then the foolish brother will wait for good news." ”

Walking out of the hall, Manager Zhang led Qi Xun and Lin Wan to the guest room not far from the west side of the main courtyard to rest.

The courtyard for guests to live in is not large, but it is very clean and tidy, and everything is complete. There were a total of five rooms in the courtyard, Qi Xun and his entourage walked into the east wing, and Lin Wan took Qingtong into the west wing.

Lin Wan was already tired, and with the help of Qingtong, he simply washed it, took off his coat, and went to bed.

At this moment, Lu Zhixin and Lu Zhiqian, father and son, were in the main hall, having the first in-depth conversation between their father and son.

Lu Zhixin first expressed his wishes, and said seriously to Lu Zhiqian: "Father, the child thinks that Miss Amu's proposal can be tried. Although the child has been concentrating on studying and has never had any contact with the rich gentry in Fengnan City, the child is willing to do his best to do this for the sake of the soldiers' food and clothing. ”

Lu Zhiqian shook his head and said, "Zhi'er, as a father, I believe that you must have this ability." However, what worries my father is that after this incident, you will be equivalent to getting on the boat of the Seventh Prince and General Zhao. In the future, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince blames him, his father can only draw a line with you. When the time comes, how will you, me, father and son deal with themselves?"

Looking at the wrinkles at the corners of his father's eyes, the gray hair between his sideburns, and the love for himself in his loving eyes. Lu Zhixin pondered for a moment, lifted his robe, knelt on his knees, looked up at his father, and said indignantly: "Father, the child has been studying in Jiangnan Academy for many years, and he knows the great righteousness of the nation and the truth of the family and the country, even if there is no proposal from Miss Amu, the child must not watch the Pingnan army spill blood on the front line in order to protect the family and defend the country, while his father is dragging them back in the rear!"

Lu Zhiqian's chest froze when he heard this, his brows furrowed, and he almost fainted, but he couldn't scold his son. Although the words were heavy, they were reasonable, and only his own son dared to say such things in front of him.

Lu Zhixin saw that he had made his father angry, so he hurriedly got up to support him, and said with concern: "Father, what's wrong with you? Don't be angry, the child is wrong, the child shouldn't say such a thing, the child is not filial, please punish the father!"

Lu Zhiqian slowly breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, and said: "Zhi'er is not wrong, what my father did is indeed sorry for the soldiers of the Pingnan army, and I am sorry for the people of Dafeng, but my father is also forced to do it!

Lu Zhixin's eyebrows tightened, nodded helplessly, and said, "Of course the child understands, the father has explained all the reasons to the child last night. However, father, maintaining neutrality may be a wise way to protect oneself, for the sake of the lives of tens of thousands of people in the Lu family, maybe my father's approach of not helping each other is right. However, the child wants to choose a Ming monarch for thousands of people, and wants to fight for a peaceful and prosperous world for the common people in the world. ”

Lu Zhiqian wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at his young and vigorous son, and asked rhetorically: "How do you know who Mingjun is, and how can you fight for a peaceful and prosperous world?"

Lu Zhixin helped his father to sit down on the main seat, stood in front of his father, stood with his hands in his hands, and replied respectfully: "Father, the child doesn't know. However, the child knows that the tragedy of more than 20 years ago cannot be repeated again! In that case, maybe Feng Nan City, and even the entire Jiangnan and the entire Great Feng will fall into a catastrophe from which they will never recover!"

Lu Zhiqian looked at his son with shock and appreciation, nodded slowly, and motioned for him to continue.

Lu Zhixin continued: "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is the descendant of General Fenglao, and in this critical situation, he took the initiative to invite Ying to come to Fengnan City and provoke the heavy responsibility of the Pingnan army, which shows his responsibility and benevolence in worrying about the country and the people. And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the current enemy, is still thinking of fighting for power and seizing the throne and framing his brother, how can such a person take on the heavy responsibility of the king of a country?"

Lu Zhiqian nodded slightly and said: "Zhi'er is right, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the help of his mother clan and the support of Prime Minister Liu Cheng, and most of the officials in the court are also on his side. However, the Seventh Prince, except for the Zhao family, did not have any support in the court, so how could he be able to ascend to the throne? After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still the closest person to that position. ”

Of course, Lu Zhixin also knew that the current situation was not good for the Seventh Prince, but because of this, he had to obey the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and abandon the national righteousness?

Lu Zhiqian continued: "If the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, it will be difficult to protect the lives of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, how can he protect the family that once supported him? The Zhao family is now struggling in the capital, and even the Jade Concubine Niangniang has fallen out of favor, and no minister in the court dares to say a word for them. Besides, your third sister is married to the Sixth Prince, and now she is pregnant, if we make a mistake, we will affect their mother and son and the Six Princes in the future. How can we take this step so easily?"

Lu Zhixin listened carefully to his father's analysis, every sentence was true, not alarmist, every sentence was blocked in his heart, so that he could not refute it.

However, Lu Zhixin's original intention never wavered, he looked into his father's eyes and said resolutely: "Father, forgive the child for being unfilial." The child has already decided to help the Pingnan army and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, if it will involve the family and the Lu clan in the future, please ask my father to sever the father-son relationship with me and expel me from the house. After speaking, he knelt heavily in front of Lu Zhiqian, his back straight, and he was extremely firm. (To be continued.) )
