Chapter 114: The Pain of Constraints (Second Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Why the concerns?
There is no need to ask, Zhu Zhiyu knows the reason, because his disciple is always worried about Nanjing, and he is always worried that the relationship with Zheng Yanping will deteriorate, which will lead to the good situation being wasted.
"Teacher, the student cares, only I will be the next tomorrow, today's situation is finally showing some vitality, if the student kills him happily, isn't it just to give someone a handle?"
sighed helplessly, although he had not experienced officialdom, Zhu Mingzhong knew very well that killing Wu Weiye would not only not solve the problem, but would give others a handle and become a handle for others to attack him.
Although he now has enough strength, the fact that he is Zheng Chenggong's subordinate makes Zhu Mingzhong feel helpless to be constrained.
"So, students can only send their gifts out of the country, as for ...... The student has already paid a letter to the general, as for how to deal with the general, I want the general to have his own belly! ”
Although he was helpless on the surface, Zhu Mingzhong sneered in his heart. With Zheng Chenggong's character, how will he treat Wu Weiye? Thinking that it was a direct killing, Wu Weiye was just a civilian official who did not enter the stream, and his dictation, for Zheng Chenggong, if he didn't kill him, how could he be determined by the army.
What's more, Zhu Mingzhong believed that Zheng Chenggong would definitely do everything possible to appease himself, instead of aggravating the situation, after all, the threat of more than 200,000 Qing troops was in front of him.
"You! Alas! ”
Shaking his head and sighing lightly, Zhu Zhiyu said again.
"Chengren, your personality is always so sincere, you treat people with sincerity, what will others do in return?"
Sighing at the disciple's temperament, Zhu Zhiyu naturally wanted to go from the other side for his actions, and then he asked rhetorically.
"Na Chengren, what do you think about this matter?"
Although Zhu Zhiyu didn't ask explicitly, Zhu Mingzhong naturally knew what the teacher was asking, he pondered for a moment before replying.
"The students asked themselves, since Jiangyin joined the army, Yu Daming, can be said to have a clear conscience, although he has been repeatedly suppressed by others, and has never had the slightest complaint, the students know that if it were not for my Ming infighting, the Qing Dynasty must not go down to Jiangnan lightly, and how could I be a trillion-dollar people in Jiangnan? If the Ming Dynasty recovers in his day, the court will regard the students as ...... Students can dismiss themselves from the military power, and then go overseas, I am innocent people, students will never be selfish, harm the people of the world to displace! ”
When some sincere words came out of Zhu Mingzhong's mouth, Zhu Zhiyu looked at the disciple in front of him, if he didn't understand his character, he probably wouldn't believe his words, but his understanding of the disciple made him convinced of it.
'M afraid...... When the time comes, even if you want to leave, no one may be willing to let you go!
Zhu Zhiyu, who is familiar with history books, doesn't know what will happen to those who have achieved great success in the world.
"Let's not talk about the future, let's just say that right now, since the capture of the city in Nanjing, Chengren has stood under the Yanping Gate with high merit, and Chengren has an upright character, so he will be hostile to others, rectify its roots, and the master is the root!"
After pondering for a moment, he looked at the disciple with a wry smile on his face and continued.
"Chengren's view of the world, throughout the ages, has been high in the world, nothing more than two ends, one is to replace it, the other is to harm the Lord, Chengren, think that the teacher's understanding of you, I'm afraid neither of them is what you want!"
"It's still the teacher who understands the disciple!"
Nodding, Zhu Mingzhong smiled bitterly.
"Instead, if the student wants to replace him, he must have a fight, and when the time comes, he will either die or I will die, so that the Qing captives will reap the benefits of the fisherman, which is definitely not what the disciple wants! As for the harm to the Lord, although the student is ignorant, he is by no means a foolish person, and if he intends to harm the student, the student will strive to protect himself! ”
Looking directly at the teacher, Zhu Mingzhong said helplessly.
"But no matter what, I'm afraid it will be inevitable to fight, teachers, students raised troops, this is to restore my Ming world, the reason why the soldiers go to the soup with the students is also for my Ming, is it, this soldier against each other, cannibalism is really unavoidable?"
If all this happened and the Northern Expedition was successful, after the Manchu Qing were expelled from the customs, Zhu Mingzhong would not hesitate to kill the killer, but now, facing the reality that he may be attacked at any time, he has to make himself look like this.
Cao Cao is comparable to everyone, but before Cao Cao's strength, Liu Bei is the best choice. may not be proficient in the Three Kingdoms, but Zhu Mingzhong knows very well that as Zheng Chenggong's subordinate, being Liu Bei is the best choice, even if he tears his face, he must let the whole world see how Zheng Chenggong persecuted himself.
Officialdom is like a theater, everyone is a play!
Perhaps in the officialdom struggle, Zhu Mingzhong is not as perfect as those who have been up and down for many years in this era, but from history books and film and television works, Zhu Mingzhong still learned some of the most basic rules.
That is to learn to act!
Life is like a play!
Drama is like life, just see whether you can act this play well. As a novice on this stage, Zhu Mingzhong did not wander in the circle that the ancients who had been immersed in the sea for decades were good at, but chose another path - to show people with Geng Zhenzhi.
Sometimes, Geng Zhenzhi is also a weapon!
Zhu Mingzhong, who has always shown himself as worried about the country and the people, can at least guarantee that he has the upper hand in morality, and morality seems to be invisible, but in many cases, it can play an unexpected role, especially in the future, if necessary, only by taking the moral upper hand and breaking with Zheng Chenggong's subordinates will it not damage his reputation.
What is the biggest impact of modern education on Zhu Mingzhong? That is, he knows how to judge the situation, knows when to show weakness, and knows what to use as a screen when showing weakness.
"Actually......"
Facing the helpless sighs of the students, Zhu Zhiyu's whole person fell into deep thought, he didn't see these things, in fact, since Zhu Mingzhong went to Jiangbei to avoid trouble, everyone knew that sooner or later, he would definitely break with Zheng Chenggong.
For Zhu Mingzhong, as a subordinate of Zheng Chenggong, he will not be able to get rid of his shadow throughout his life. A rupture would only tarnish its reputation, but if the current situation is allowed to develop, it is unlikely that war and fratricidal fighting will be inevitable.
"Chengren, do you know that if you fight against Yanping, at that time, the people of the world will only remember your betrayal with the Zheng clan, and no one will remember your achievements in the Ming Dynasty!"
Being a general of the Zheng clan is Zhu Mingzhong's biggest weakness, and it is precisely because of this that it is up to others to kill and take away, and it is precisely because of this that Zhu Mingzhong needs to tolerate him in every way.
"Teacher, the student is a general of the general, so he can only do this......"
"Actually, other than that......"
The student's suffering and helplessness were seen in Zhu Zhiyu's eyes, so he looked at Zhu Mingzhong and said after some careful consideration.
"It's not impossible!"
