Wei Cheng ...... Hou also asked to stay ...... "When the meeting dispersed, Lu Zhen was walking out like the other officials, but he heard a greeting from behind him, which made his steps pause, and his face looked a little strange, because he heard that it was Yu Qian's voice.

In the past, as long as it was not on a formal occasion, Yu Qian would call him the word "close", but this time the other party was commensurate with his position, which was tantamount to shortening the distance between the two parties. But at the same time as he turned around, the expression on Lu Jin's face had become light, and he didn't seem to take this to heart anymore: "I don't know what Elder Yu has to teach him?" ”

Yu Qian, who also felt the sense of alienation between the two sides, was obviously stunned for a moment, and then took two steps forward: "Can you take a step to say a few words?" ”

"Please." Lu Zhen didn't refuse, and led to the side, and then the two of them left the crowd slightly and came to the side. At this time, there were still many officials walking out, and when they saw this posture, they all showed strange and curious looks, but they didn't dare to come forward to find out because of their identity.

Yu Qian and Lu Zhen stood opposite each other, and after a moment of silence, the former sighed and said, "Why did you suddenly think of resigning?" ”

"In fact, after I came back from Suzhou, I already had such an idea. Although the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard is extremely powerful, his reputation is not good. ”

"Is that so? But you also know that Jinyiwei is indispensable in the court now, and Jinyiwei is indispensable for you to preside over the overall situation. Yu Qian said with a solemn expression.

"Really?" Lu Zhen asked indifferently, which made the other party stunned again. Then, Yu Qiancai smiled bitterly: "Actually, you should know the reason, now that the East Factory has risen, only Jinyiwei can balance them, no, it should be said that only Jinyiwei under your control can suppress Dongchang." But at this time, you suddenly submitted your resignation, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, right? ”

"Last year, Dongchang suddenly attacked many officials in the DPRK and China, and at that time, Lord Yu, you hoped that I could stop it, and I did it." Lu Zhen suddenly mentioned the past: "But what about after that? When those officials were saved, what was their attitude towards my Jinyiwei? What is your attitude towards me? I don't think Lord Yu didn't see these in his eyes, right? ”

These words made Yu Qian's face red, and he felt guilty in his heart. Indeed, after Jinyiwei helped the courtiers get rid of the persecution of Dongchang, they did not appreciate each other's meaning, as for the reason is very complicated, in fact, the civil official and Jinyiwei are also on opposite sides, if they express their gratitude positively at this time, they are afraid that they will be regarded as the accomplices of Jinyiwei, which is a result that no one can bear.

Seeing this, Lu Zhen sneered: "Actually, it doesn't matter if they don't thank me, and I don't want to sell their favors." However, what did they do in the first battle of Jizhou this time? In order to fight the generals, they did not hesitate to reverse black and white, and they would take revenge, and I, Lu Jin, have never been a person who repays grievances with virtue. ”

After all the words were spoken, Lu Jin had no scruples, and continued: "This civil official of the Manchu Dynasty always thinks that he is superior, and does not take the generals and eunuchs in his eyes. Even the Son of Heaven, they want to forcibly suppress it, and I don't think so. They have completely misestimated their own strength, and they have no idea what they have done

What terrible consequences it will have for itself. And I don't want to get involved in such things anymore, so it is the best outcome for you to get out of here.

"Your Majesty has always been kind to me, and I have disobeyed him many times before in order to help you. But this time, I've decided that I'll let them bear the thunder and rain on their own. ”

Yu Qian looked at Lu Zhen in a daze, he really didn't expect the other party to say it so bluntly, which made him unable to take many of the arguments he had prepared. After all, the facts are in front of them, and it is indeed them who are civil officials who will take revenge, and there is no reason to let Lu Zhen stand on their side again.

Including him, the head of the cabinet, is unreasonable in this matter, after all, he also chose to be silent. But Yu Qian also has his own difficulties, his identity is a civil official after all, and he is the head of civil officials, so many things cannot only be based on their own likes and dislikes, they must make a choice, and they can't help themselves.

But he still made the last effort: "I remember that you mentioned to Mr. Hu at the beginning, if you want to benefit the life and death of the country, you should not avoid it because of misfortune and fortune." Have you forgotten that? ”

"I haven't forgotten that I've always followed these two sentences to do things. But now that it is the prosperous Ming Dynasty, it is time for me to retire. Lu Jin stared at the other party's eyes unmoved: "What I want to help is this world, not those rotten Confucians who always want to be my enemy." As he spoke, he threw his hand away, flicked his sleeves and spilled away.

Yu Qian looked at the other party's distant back in silence, and in the end he could only sigh. After all, he failed to persuade Lu Zhen to turn back, so I am afraid that the DPRK and the Central Committee will have another storm. Without the checks and balances of Jinyiwei, the minions of Dongchang will inevitably reach into the court, and I don't know how many people will be killed. And will he be able to keep these colleagues?

@@@@@

Also unable to understand Lu Jin's decision were a subordinate of Jin Yiwei. When they learned that he had resigned from the post of commander, these subordinates were completely panicked, and hurriedly ran to his house to inquire and persuade.

Chu Yunrong's second daughter was quite happy after knowing that her husband had resigned, after all, in this way, he could avoid many troubles and have more time to spend with himself and his children. But before he could say a word, Han Wutong came to report one after another, saying that Qinggele and others were outside to ask for a meeting.

Lu Zhen had no choice but to go over and see them. After seeing him appear, a group of subordinates hula surrounded him and shouted: "My lord, why did you make such a decision?" ”

"Dudu, is this someone forcing you? But those Chinese officials? If they do do this, we won't let them go! ”

"My lord, we can't do without you, ......" for a while, the whole hall became noisy, and everyone couldn't care about the humility anymore.

Lu Jin first looked at them indifferently, and then waved his hand and said, "You guys listen to me." ”

Only then did the crowd fall silent and look at their adults with eyes full of supplication and inquiry. Everyone knows that anyone can do without Jinyiwei, but they can't do without Lu Jin, the backbone.

Lu Zhen smiled, and then said, "I know."

You are worried about something, but it is not as serious as you think. Today's Jinyiwei is not what it was at the beginning, we have enough strength to protect ourselves, and we are not easy to provoke by Dongchang. Even without me, Lu Jin, as long as Yang Zhen and them are still there, my Jinyiwei is enough to occupy a place in this world. ”

"But......" Someone wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Jin's wave of his hand: "I made this decision after a long period of consideration." There is a banquet in the world, and it is impossible for me, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, to continue to be the commander, so it is better to take the initiative to give way while my Jinyi Guard is at its peak. And you also know that there has been a grudge between me and Dongchang, if I am here, not only Dongchang, but also His Majesty will be dissatisfied with Jinyiwei. So I withdraw at this time, it will only be beneficial to Jinyiwei, as long as you do what you want in the future, it will be enough to fight against Dongchang. ”

"But my lord, the White Lotus Sect's traitors haven't been eliminated yet, do you really plan to leave like this?" Qingler asked suddenly. He could see that Lu Zhen had really made up his mind this time, and it was difficult to impress him with ordinary rhetoric, so he came to another way.

Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The White Lotus Sect has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it has its own way of survival, but it is not something we can easily and completely kill. After experiencing their resurgence, I can understand this completely. Get rid of Xu Ziyang, and Xu Qinglian. killed Xu Qinglian, and a White Lotus Holy Maiden appeared. Even if we can really eradicate the White Lotus Holy Maiden, there is no guarantee when they will be able to bring out someone else to lead the whole sect.

"In fact, the White Lotus Sect is just a resentment among the people in the final analysis. Therefore, if you want to eradicate him, you don't work hard in our Jinyiwei, but in the imperial court, as long as everyone in my Ming Dynasty lives and works in peace and contentment, and the country and the people are safe, then the White Lotus Sect will not make any trouble at all. And now, my Ming Dynasty has become prosperous, so the White Lotus Sect is no longer a problem. ”

At this time, even Qinggel didn't know how to persuade him. They also found out that this time Lu Jin was determined to leave Jinyiwei completely, which made everyone's mood very low.

"Well, you don't have to be so discouraged, in fact, when I first came to Jinyiwei, I thought that I would leave here one day, after all, I am only a civil official. Although there is no going back now, it is still possible to retreat from the rapids. ”

"Adult ......"

"By the way, in the end, I want to tell you one thing, Dongchang is hateful, but he is acting according to His Majesty's will after all. So for the rest of the day, it's better for you to stay out of the way. With them, the notoriety is theirs, and my Jinyiwei can have a good reputation. But we must no longer be enemies of them as before, and as for the officials of the DPRK and China, let them fend for themselves. Lu Zhen admonished again.

Several subordinates hesitated for a moment, and then they all responded. In fact, they could also guess that Lu Jin's departure was likely to be related to the attack of the ministers, and in this case, it was naturally impossible for them to help those civil officials to make enemies with Dongchang.

After sending everyone away, Lu Jin let out a long sigh of relief. He only felt that the burden on his shoulders was finally lifted at this moment.

As the saying goes, take a step back and open the sky, and now he really understands the meaning of this sentence......
