Chapter 707: The Holy Decree Is Given!
Emperor Xinde's decree set off an uproar in Jinling, and Emperor Xinde's decree was very simple, that is, to worship Lu Zheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, as the general manager of the Pingjing Road march, and to command the three armies to guard the capital and reject the enemy outside the capital.
After this will, Emperor Xinde's second will was to worship the cabinet scholars, when the first assistant of the court, Lu Shanchang, was the prince and the prince, and the Gu family Gu was born as the prince and the prince, and the Lu family and the Gu family went hand in hand, and their status reached the peak.
In comparison, the second will did not make much of a splash at all, because the content of the first will was really shocking.
In the current situation, the Longyou Song family rebelled, and the army had besieged the city of Bingzhou, and the state was in danger, and the Guannai and the capital were completely exposed to the spearhead of the Northwest Army.
Longyou's iron army is known as 100,000, these 100,000 iron army is not the barbarian rabble of Huainan Road and Lingnan Road, these iron cavalry have been fighting with the northern Turks and Northern Yan for a long time, it is no exaggeration to say that the iron cavalry of the Northwest Army can be called the first army of Dakang, Dakang's South Ya Twelve Guards and North Ya Six Guards are really fighting against them on the battlefield, and it is estimated that they are also more auspicious and less auspicious, in this case, how can the capital be defended?
The ministers and families with a little insight in Jinling all knew in their hearts that the capital could not be defended, and everyone was planning a strategy on how to defend Jiangnan! In this case, Emperor Xinde issued a holy decree to send Lu Zheng to the north, isn't this to put Lu Zheng to death?
Emperor Xinde's approach really stunned everyone, is the current Lu family still the Lu family of the past? Will Lu Zheng be respected for Emperor Xinde's will?
If Lu Zheng accepts the holy decree, he himself will be in the place of death, and it is very likely that he will never return to Jiangnan after arriving in the capital!
But if Lu Zheng does not obey the holy decree, he will have to have a showdown with Emperor Xinde, the Lu family will inevitably tear their faces, can the Lu family bear the price of rebellion? Are the Lu family ready to rebel?
The air in Jinling suddenly became tense, and the entire court felt suffocated by this, everyone knew that the current Lu family had the ability to rebel, and also had a reason to rebel, as long as they wanted, they could be crowned king in Jiangnan tomorrow, and this time, Dakang would no longer exist, and the world would enter the era of competing for hegemony.
The chaos in the world is not only a huge disaster for the people, but also for many powerful families, they are also extremely nervous.
Many people in Jinling regard Emperor Xinde as a madman, if this guy is not crazy, how can he exert such extreme pressure? Emperor Xinde's posture was to have a complete showdown with the Lu family, either the Lu family killed him and rebelled, or he Emperor Xinde had to go out of the mountain again and make a last stand.
I have to say that Emperor Xinde has found a good helper, Song Wensong, this kid is also a hero-like existence, he is definitely not willing to be dull from the capital to Jiangnan, he dares to gamble, and dares to cooperate with Emperor Xinde to deal with Lu Zheng, so that Emperor Xinde can see the hope of fighting back.
Emperor Xinde was obsessed with power all his life, his obsession with power far exceeded his pursuit of immortality, when he had power, he didn't feel that power was so important, but once the power was lost, Emperor Xinde's whole person fell into madness.
This is also the reason why he dares to take risks, he doesn't care anymore, he would rather die than lose power, and also make a last stand. He sent Lu Zheng to the capital and put him in an extremely dangerous situation, and then he and Song Wensong cooperated with the Jiangnan power lords represented by the Lu family in Jiangnan, and Lu Zheng was his biggest threat.
The situation he needs to create is to regain the initiative, and it is best to divide the ministers below into many factions and forces, and everyone will be restrained from each other, so that he can re-establish the authority of the emperor, and he can still become the majesty of Dakang, so as to command the world!
……
The Lu family, Jinling, and Lu Zheng arrived from Jiangning to Jinling today, and they came with Dai Gao, Zhang Pinghua, and the Taoist monk, as well as Lu Shanchang, the Lu family was like a great enemy, heavily guarded, and the atmosphere was really tense.
Lu Shanchang seemed to be ten years old, he sat on the chair, sighed, and said: "Our Lu family has always been a man with his tail between his legs, and we use all means to make Zheng'er low-key, but no matter how low-key it is, it is also hated by others, and today's will is simply to make our Lu family completely submissive, just like the will of disbanding the Nanfu Army thirty years ago!"
Since then, our Jiangnan power has declined, until recent years, our four families in Jiangnan have become three families, the Gu family and the Chen family in order to save their lives, even at the cost of servile faces, do cattle and horses in the capital, and our Lu family was almost wiped out, fortunately, there was a Zheng'er at a critical time! ”
Lu Shanchang's emotions were obviously a little excited, he clasped his hands into fists, looked at the top of the high hall, and said: "The ancestors and ancestors are above, the Lu family has passed down to my Lu Shanchang's generation, and it has really experienced too many ups and downs.
I, Lu Shanchang, decided that I would rather die standing than live on my knees, the Lu family has no way to retreat this time, since there is no way out, then we can only break the kettle and give it a go! ”
After Lu Shanchang finished saying this, the essence in his eyes flashed, and the murderous intent was awe-inspiring. For a person like Lu Shanchang, he has experienced too many things in his life, seen too many ups and downs, and made countless key decisions.
In a situation like today, it is not difficult for him to make a decision! The hope of the Lu family lies in Lu Zheng, if Lu Zheng is gone, where is the Lu family, where is Jiangnan? Emperor Xinde moved Lu Zheng, this is to destroy the Lu family and make the Lu family cornered!
In this case, even if the Lu family knows that they are invincible, they should protect themselves, not to mention that now that the Lu family has become the first in Jiangnan, the Lu family has the confidence and confidence to stand on its own!
Lu Shanchang's attitude was clear, Dai Gao and the monk Dao Duan who were present were silent, they were really not good at how to speak, Zhang Pinghua said: "Yes, the prime minister is right, this situation is the only way for the son!" Look at this world, I don't know how many people are kings and hegemons, I don't know how many people are self-reliant, who among them can compare with Gongzi? No one can compare to Childe! ”
Zhang Pinghua paused and said, "Your Majesty is in too much of a hurry today, just right, this is also an opportunity for Gongzi." The son is self-reliant, relying on the south of the Yangtze River, with Yuzhou in the north, we have the richest place in the world, are you still afraid of those grass kings? ”
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows, and gently pressed his hand and said, "Zhang Pinghua, don't talk nonsense!" Lu Zheng took a deep breath, bowed deeply to Lu Shanchang, and said: "Grandfather, I understand your old feelings, but in this situation, at this juncture, we must not be opposed, not only can we not rebel, but we must also act in accordance with His Majesty's will!"
I have received the order, and I am ready to leave and go north immediately, there are many things in the world, and there are many roads in front of us, and sometimes we choose the most difficult road may be a good choice! ”
Lu Zheng paused, and snorted coldly: "Many people say that the capital is a dead land, but in my opinion, Jinling is even more binding for me, I am in Jinling, I am a thorn in the side of His Majesty, and I am also the target of many people's jealousy and attack!" If I leave Jinling and am not in this place, even if it is more dangerous and difficult outside, it will be more conducive to further growth for me! ”
Lu Zheng said something freely, Lu Shanchang's lips moved and he wanted to speak, Dai Gao said: "The key is to go to the capital, are you sure to stabilize the situation, if you can't stabilize it, can you really live and die with the capital?" ”
Dai Gao grasped the key point in one sentence, now everyone is concerned about whether there is hope in the north, if Lu Zheng goes to the capital purely to send him to death, this is absolutely unacceptable.
Because of the room in front of him, everyone actually relies on Lu Zheng to survive, if Lu Zheng is finished, Jiangnan will inevitably be in chaos, maybe first of all, there will be chaos between the only three remaining families in Jiangnan.
Lu Zheng said: "There is no endless road, Song Wensong can't live in the capital, but I, Lu Zheng, may not be able to live!" Hehe, Song Wensong's bravery is indeed powerful, but only the courage of a horseman, how can he gain a foothold in the capital? This time I went to the capital, with the help of Liu Song from Yuzhou, and I can also talk to Cao Weiming, and soon the situation will be reversed! ”
After Lu Zheng finished speaking, Dai Gao nodded, and the monk also nodded, and Lu Shanchang said: "Zheng'er, what I just said is just possible, we can't gamble!" What if something goes wrong? ”
Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Grandfather, the so-called planning is in the sky, have you ever seen anyone who can fight against God?" Since the sky is going to kill me, then Lu Zheng has nothing to say, I am just dying!
But if the sky doesn't kill me, I will soon have a new transformation in the capital, and when I occupy the capital, it's a big deal to part ways with Song Wensong again? ”
Lu Zheng's tone was very firm and full of pride, he knew that there was Song Wensong's shadow behind this matter, but he knew that even if it was Song Wensong, he might not be absolutely sure of this matter, everyone was gambling with their lives and giving it a go.
When did Lu Zheng ever be afraid of Song Wensong, when the two were in the northwest, they could call them brothers in their faces and stab them in the back. Today, Lu Zheng and him are both extremely popular ministers, Song Wensong stabbed him with a knife, can Lu Zheng still be bluffed by him?
Lu Zheng's attitude in today's deliberation was extremely resolute, and Lu Shanchang and the others were helpless, so they could only agree to Lu Zheng's order to go north, and the Lu family was soon shrouded in a dark cloud.
And when the news of Lu Zheng's northward journey came out from the Lu family, Jinling set off a huge wave, many people felt that Lu Zheng's choice was incredible, and some people even felt that Lu Zheng was indecisive, and this kind of person would be difficult to become a big man sooner or later.
Only a very small number of people, such as Dai Gao, but the monk understands that Lu Zheng's choice is pragmatic and painstaking!
Lu Zheng can't oppose it, because his biggest capital is to represent Dakang justice, if he reverses, this justice will be wiped out, one of them.
Second, Lu Zheng was fledgling, although the Nanfu Army had a certain combat power, but it was established for a short time, and its combat power was far from enough to challenge the world, and the scale of its numbers was far from enough.
Third, the rich land of Jiangnan, if there is a big chaos, the rich foundation of Jiangnan will be shaken, and the turmoil in Jiangnan is not conducive to Lu Zheng's accumulation of strength, once he rebels, it is very likely that Jiangnan will become a piece of fat, if so, Lu Zheng will face an extremely tragic ending.
Based on these comprehensive reasons, of course Lu Zheng would not do such a stupid thing, he knew very well that the best strategy now was to accumulate grain, build a high wall, and slowly become king!
Lu Zheng's strategy will not change, not only will it not change, but he will also take the opportunity to consolidate. This time he went north, his mentality adjusted quickly, he knew very well that his life was not sharpened enough, and the biggest shortcoming was especially in military affairs.
He learned the art of war, the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and under the specific conditions at that time, he fought a battle that shocked the world by virtue of his luck against the sky. That kind of thing is a very distant memory for Lu Zheng now.
And he himself knows that such a thing will never happen again, this time he went to the capital to face the main force of the Northwest Iron Cavalry, and he faced Song Naifeng, the general of the Northwest of the Dakang Dynasty, who was known as the world's first fierce general.
In addition, there is Cao Weiming, who established himself as the king and dominated the Lianghe region, these two people are hero-level existences, especially Song Naifeng, I have to say that in the face of Song Naifeng, even if Lu Zheng presses all the family resources of the Nanfu Army, I am afraid it will be difficult to win.
Now, when he went to the capital alone, he relied on a group of people under Song Wensong, and then Lu Zheng brought a little Nanfu army, can he defeat the opponent? Apparently it is impossible......
Therefore, Lu Zheng is facing a huge test, and he is even facing an impossible task, he is the general manager of the Pingjing Road march, and he has an overview of all the military horses in the north, which sounds very good, and the power can be said to be above the crown prince Long Zhaohuan.
Lu Zheng's mind was spinning rapidly, and his thoughts were flying for a while, Lu Zheng had no objection to receiving the order, and now Lu Zheng was thinking about how to enter the army, which was the real headache for him.
"Song Wensong, Song Wensong, I know that the kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp! When I came to Jiangnan from the capital, I expected it to be a disaster, but I didn't expect it to be so fast! Lu Zheng muttered.
The boy behind him said: "Childe, we have to find a way for today's plan, I have mobilized all the people in the Northland!" We have accumulated so many years, even if the power is still not enough, but our information and intelligence are at least many times stronger than Song Wensong! ”
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Okay!" We will talk about this matter in the future, the northern affairs must be tied to the bell people, there is nothing to say, I will first see Song Wensong before leaving Jinling! Song Wensong's trip to Yangzhou is still vivid, and I now understand that this kid's trip to Yangzhou is completely a false shot! Its fundamental intentions and intentions turned out to be here! There's nothing to say about that, all my surname Lu is next! ”
