The others didn't notice Lu Xiangsheng's expression, and it was rare to have a chance to meet, so they couldn't help but want to show themselves, and they all echoed it.

"Yes, my lord, if it is peaceful today, it is time for the horse to be put on Nanshan, and my lord can finally take a good rest!"

"Today's Ming Dynasty is already extremely powerful, powerful in all directions, far better than in the past, the adults have made great contributions to the southern and northern wars, and there will be opportunities to go back to their hometowns to see more in the future."

“……”

These people speak, they are all similar, similar to each other, so they can't show their personality, and finally, one of them raised his voice and said: "The adults have killed all the enemies for the Ming Dynasty, and the students want to put pen to paper, and they have no chance to learn the style of adults!" ”

Of course, he said this with a certain amount of joke, to be precise, flattery.

But Lu Xiangsheng was already frowning, but he didn't speak, but when he heard this, he finally couldn't help it, and said with a serious face: "You think so?" ”

He opened his mouth, and his expression was serious as he spoke. This made everyone stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, they all felt that they didn't seem to have said the wrong thing, so they were a little surprised, but no one dared to reply, just looked at Lord Lu with their eyes.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at their expressions and knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

So, while glancing at the officials in front of him, he said solemnly and loudly: "It is said that the Ming Dynasty is powerful, but has it ever been compared to the Han and Tang Dynasties?" How are the Western Regions doing now? Do you think that Daming is really strong enough to put Nanshan on the horse and enjoy himself comfortably? ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned when they heard it, what do you mean, is it to fight the Western Regions and renew the territory of the Han and Tang dynasties?

Just as they were thinking about it, they heard Lu Xiangsheng say again: "To put it more popularly, in the past, just a poor monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty would be treated as a guest by Siyi." However, now that I have gone out of the Ming Dynasty, can I be treated like this? You may not have the news, just over there in Nanyang, and the people of the Ming Dynasty who went out were slaughtered by Xiyi at every turn. You say, is Daming strong enough? ”

Everyone opened their mouths wide when they heard this, they never expected that Lord Lu would say such a thing. Seriously, there are so many implications in these words, and they are difficult to digest for a while.

Since Lu Xiangsheng had already said it, he simply said: "Why does this official want to fight the Japanese in North Korea, it is because the Japanese want to fight my Ming idea!" The emperor has a decree, the ambition of the wolf son of the Japanese country, coveting my Ming Dynasty is not overnight, so the Japanese country, leaving it will only harm future generations, so it must be destroyed! In addition, there are also Hongyi, they came from thousands of miles away, just a little people, but not to mention the invasion of our southeast coast, this time they also colluded with the Japanese country to deal with my Daming. Those Hongyi must have enough lessons......"

After he spoke loudly, the surroundings became very quiet, and everyone was listening quietly. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng's words can be spread far and wide.

“…… The emperor once said that the situation has changed so much today that it is unprecedented. If I am confined to the country and neighboring countries, this is to sit in the well and watch the sky. When he arrives, the four places in the distance become stronger, if they swarm, and my Ming is just weak again, the descendants will suffer from the previous suffering? ”

Hearing that the emperor had said this, many people's faces couldn't help but be shocked.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw it, he immediately questioned them: "Don't be dismissive! This official asks you, why is the most powerful artillery of the Ming Dynasty called the Hongyi Cannon? Because this is Hongyi's first weapon! Also, Xiyi's warships are far faster than our Ming Dynasty's! If you know naval warfare, you can know how dangerous this is to the Ming Dynasty! ”

For people here in Jiangnan, of course, they have heard of how fast Xiyi's ships will be. Not to mention the Hongyi cannon. All of a sudden, the people who heard Lu Xiangsheng speak, I don't know why, they suddenly had a sense of crisis.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng clasped his fists with both hands, gestured in the direction of Yunnan, and then said loudly: "The emperor has worked tirelessly, not far away, driving to conquer Yunnan and Dongwu, defending the country and the enemy, and guarding the Ming Dynasty. ”

It's not that these officials in Changzhou Mansion don't know that the current emperor is conquering Dongwu, but at this time, they are welcoming their local pride, thinking of flattering Lu Xiangsheng, praising him, and saying nice things.

As a result, I didn't expect that Lu Xiangsheng was a serious person, and immediately said a lot of truths. If it were Hong Chengchou, with Hong Chengchou's conduct in the officialdom, he would not be able to hear it, hehe, hello, hello, everyone. As for whether these officials really think so, he won't care much.

At this time, listening to Lu Xiangsheng mention the matter of the current emperor, these officials couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

However, Lu Xiangsheng does not have Sun Chuanting's cold face, and he does his own thing. Therefore, when he finished speaking, seeing the reactions of these officials, he softened his tone and said earnestly: "Don't say that today's Daming is far from being strong enough, even if it is really strong, you have to be prepared for danger in times of peace!" ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Lu is right, the lower officials have been taught!" The governor of Changzhou Prefecture hurriedly replied.

Other officials also followed along to give a salute, saying that listening to Lu Xiangsheng's words was better than reading for ten years! As for what they think in their hearts, I don't know.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw this, he encouraged them again: "Work official affairs to benefit the people; Study hard, be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and the heroic style of the Han and Tang Dynasties will not only be reproduced in our hands, but even better than before. Don't worry that the skills you have learned are not useful, the world is far from what you can imagine! The emperor's ambition and concern for future generations are far from what you can imagine! Got it? ”

"Xiaguan understands!" Everyone listened and responded in unison.

Seeing this situation, Lu Xiangsheng hugged his fists and saluted: "This official is like an arrow, and he has to continue to hurry." Your kindness is appreciated by the officer. I hope that among you, in our Changzhou Mansion, virtuous officials will continue to emerge, so that it is the glory of my Changzhou Mansion. ”

After speaking, he took the reins, turned the horse's head, and prepared to go around the city and rush to Yixing.

When everyone saw this, they all looked at it respectfully.

However, Lu Xiangsheng obviously remembered something again, turned his head, and said in a very solemn tone: "The emperor is wise and powerful, and he is an immortal monarch!" In this era, we are waiting for the right time, don't miss it! ”

After saying this, he turned back, put his legs between the belly of the horse, and with a "driving" sound, he drove the horse back to gallop again, and soon went away.

After Lu Xiangsheng left, everyone outside Changzhou returned to the city with a smile. Of course, the talk between them is inseparable from Lord Lu. Moreover, they were all curious about what Master Lu said when he stayed, and they inquired one after another. So, it didn't take long for what Lu Xiangsheng said just now to spread at a very fast speed.

"Lord Lu is really worried about the world first, and happy after the world, he is worthy of being a good official from my Changzhou!"

"Needless to say, it's just four words, be prepared for danger in times of peace, we thought the world was too peaceful, but Lord Lu knew that we still have a lot of crises in Daming! This vision is different! ”

“……”

From the beginning of talking about Lu Xiangsheng, I slowly began to discuss what Lu Xiangsheng said and the meaning revealed in those words.

"Originally, I thought that it would be enough for us to live and work in peace and contentment in Jiangnan, but I didn't expect that Lord Lu would be embarrassed with just one word."

"What words? Which sentence? ”

"The poor monks came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and the barbarians from afar were treated as guests!"

"Yes, yes, this sentence is very vivid. The previous Datang was indeed powerful! If we want to achieve what we did back then, we still have to work hard, and we must not relax! ”

"But no, Luzon Island slaughtered our Ming people several times before and after, is there such a thing? Now those Xiyi are not at all without anything, and they treat us Ming people as fat sheep! I was angry when I heard it! ”

"You should have heard Lord Lu say, the emperor is not born in the world, and Dongwu is guilty of crimes, and now he is even more of a royal conquest. If you want me to say, Xiyi on the Luzon side is also waiting for the emperor's thunderous wrath, and sooner or later they will be cleaned up! ”

"What did that phrase come about? It was spread from the Jingshi, and Master Lu seemed to have said something similar. It seems to be ...... We...... We were born in the best of times, right? That's it, right? We must not be comfortable, but we must work hard, so as not to live up to the good times and this era! ”

"Yes, Master Lu has said it, I hope that our Changzhou Mansion will produce more virtuous officials and good generals! We're going to have to work hard! ”

"Seriously, if I want to put pen to paper, I will go to the Western Regions and open up the Western Regions for my Ming Dynasty, what do you say?"

“……”

I have to say that Lu Xiangsheng was not perfunctory, his words seemed to be not giving face, but he was given a lecture in exchange for a lecture.

However, his position is there, he is the second civil official to be knighted in the nearly three hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and he has made great achievements in the southern and northern wars of the Ming Dynasty for half his life, and has won the trust of the current emperor, which is the pride of Changzhou Mansion.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng's preaching made many people listen to it, and worked hard for it, changing their fate.

If it is Hong Chengchou, although his response can make the Changzhou prefect feel better, and may also make them admire Hong Chengchou more, it will not change the perception of the people in Jiangnan.

…………

Besides, Lu Xiangsheng galloped all the way, and finally arrived at Zhangzhu Town in Yixing County in the evening.

The sun was setting, dyeing the clouds red in the sky. On the farmland on the edge of the town, farmers are walking towards the town. In the town, the smoke curls up, and the scenery is idyllic and tranquil.

Lerma stopped, Lu Xiangsheng looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but be very emotional.
