Chapter 980: Cleaning up the old mountains and rivers
As an official of Jingzhou, Lu Zhongsu had also met the crown prince and Princess Lechang in Jiangling at the beginning, although he only had a look at it from a distance at that time, and he didn't even have the right to speak, but Lu Zhongsu also had an impression.
What's more important is that Li Xinchen took His Royal Highness Lechang to Jiangnan this time, which is already well-known, and now the only one who is qualified to call herself "Bengong" here is Princess Lechang. Of course, perhaps it is more appropriate to call the Han King later.
Lu Zhongsu regarded himself as a courtier in the south of Chen, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and saluted solemnly: "See Your Highness." ”
Le Chang laughed: "What does it matter if you keep it or not." ”
Lu Zhong was stunned for a moment: "Why did Your Highness say this?" ”
"This is destined to be unkept," Le Chang said lightly, "What's more, if you keep it today, what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?" Do you really intend to defend to the end with no reinforcements, no food and grass, and low morale? But in the end, it didn't end up being the same. ”
Lu Zhongsu suddenly wanted to argue with some indignation, but he was no longer angry after all, and he barely calmed himself down but found that he really had no way to refute this sentence, except for his enthusiasm, there was nothing that could help him keep it.
Le Chang looked at Lu Zhongsu with a tangled expression, and sighed secretly in his heart, if the Southern Chen Manchu Dynasty was such a promising and loyal courtier, then why today! But it's too late to say this, and all I have to do is to try to save the lives of these diligent courtiers, after all, these loyal courtiers should not be martyred for a dynasty that is already in ruins.
Le Chang immediately said: "Lu Qing, it's been three hundred years, and it's time. ”
Lu Zhongsu raised his head suddenly, he obviously knew what the purpose of Lechang's coming was to come, and said with some sadness: "Your Highness is the royal family of Da Chen, and the minister is ······."
Speaking of this, Lu Zhongsu couldn't help but stomp his feet, this kind of loyalty and enthusiasm didn't even understand the dynasty he wanted to protect and the royal family he wanted to be loyal to, and even persuaded him to give up, which made Lu Zhongsu feel that he couldn't accept it.
Le Chang looked at Lu Zhongsu quietly, and after a long time, he looked at Lu Zhongsu's mood and calmed down a little, and then said unhurriedly: "The matter has come to this, what is the use of meaningless resistance and casualties, every big war is fought, it is the Chinese children who die, and the people who suffer are also my Chinese people, why bother?" ”
After a pause, Le Chang sighed: "This Da Chen is long gone, and this country has long been shattered, does the Lu Qing family still expect to be able to resist the King of Han with the current strength and the current court?" After the mantis arm was used as a car, how many dead and wounded, and how many green mountains turned into scorched earth, did Lu Qing's family think about it? ”
Although Lechang's voice is not loud, every sentence is in the ear, and every sentence is heartfelt.
Lu Zhongsu opened his mouth, and for a while he didn't know how to answer.
In the final analysis, he is just a civil official, and this time he personally went into battle because of the current situation, but Lu Zhongsu knows very well that when a dynasty even needs civilian officials to command a war, when a country can't even organize an effective counterattack force, and can only resist and retreat, it won't be long before it falls.
As a civil official, thinking that the fields were full of corpses and the city was full of displaced people, Lu Zhongsu's heart ached for no reason.
"Why is this ······?" He reached out to cover his face and fell to his knees, "Why is this happening······"
Le Chang closed her eyes, and when these words came out, how could her heart not hurt.
——————————-
Lu Zhongsu finally surrendered, and Lechang's last words completely crushed his last belief and persistence.
As a parent official, he cares about his people, this war is indeed as Lechang said, it must be carried out and ended as soon as possible, and only in this way can the harm to the people be minimized, and the chaotic times that have lasted for three hundred years can be ended as soon as possible.
Whether it is Jingzhou, which is still licking its wounds, or Jiangnan, which has just recovered, they can't withstand another toss such as Hou Jing's rebellion.
The river flows through the portholes, the moonlight shines on the river, and the wind always makes people feel the lingering smell of blood.
After Li Xinchen finished washing, he stretched his waist and saw Lechang sitting on the edge of the bed in his clothes, quietly looking at the river outside the window.
Li Xinchen strode over and stretched out his hand to close the window: "I just finished bathing and blowing the wind here, and I am not afraid of the wind and cold." ”
Le Chang smiled reluctantly, waited for Li Xinchen to sit down, and gently leaned on his shoulder: "Husband, why is this ······happening?"
The conversation between Lechang and Lu Zhongsu Li Xinchen has already understood, and also knows that Lechang did not answer this question in the end, not because she was unwilling, but because she herself did not know the answer. Fate makes people, and it has been like this in a blink of an eye.
Li Xinchen gently stroked Lechang's hair, and said in a low voice: "Why, because this is the general trend, you look at the river outside, the mighty eastward flow, no one can stop it, no one can redeem it, this is the trend of the times, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die." The world has been suffering from war for a long time, so once again unification is a real general trend. The Zhou people couldn't do it, so they could only fall into civil strife, and the Chen people couldn't do it, so they could only favor Jiangnan. And some, if you want to do it, you must do whatever it takes to unify the world. ”
The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, Li Xinchen feels that this is the most correct sentence said by the old man Luo Guanzhong.
Lechang hugged Li Xinchen: "Husband, did you have such thoughts from beginning to end?" ”
Li Xinchen was silent for a long time, and nodded solemnly: "There is nothing to deceive about this, from beginning to end, it is to clean up this broken mountain and river." ”
Not to mention that as a traverser, it is indeed a bit of a feeling of vain not to reach the peak position, just what he has experienced along the way has made Li Xinchen more and more determined.
This troubled world is too cruel.
"You're a liar." Le Chang slapped Li Xinchen's chest.
originally wanted to grab her wrist, but in the end Li Xinchen still didn't do it, and let Lechang hit her twice, before he said with a smile: "So-and-so is a liar." ”
While speaking, Li Xinchen threw Lechang down on the bed, looked at the tears shed by the girl, hurriedly took out a handkerchief to help her wipe it clean, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Regret?" ”
"Does it work?" Le Chang's eyes widened and he said angrily. This guy has been lying to himself since he was in Jiankang Mansion, and now he has deceived everything, I really regret it.
"It's useless."
Le Chang grabbed the pillow and was about to smash it, Li Xinchen dared to hug his head hurriedly: "Murder your husband!" ”
"Isn't it possible?"
"Row ······"
