Chapter 425: His Majesty's Dedication (Medium)
Hot Recommendation:
Just when Zhu Qizhen straightened his posture and was about to ask his subordinates how to reward the Datong defenders to boost the morale of the border army, an official stepped out of the ministers' class, bowed and saluted, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the minister's right capital Yu Shi Guo Xizhao has something to do." ”
"Huh?" The Son of Heaven glanced at the courtier who interrupted his train of thought with a little puzzlement, but still nodded kindly: "Quasi-play." I don't know what Guo Qing is about? ”
"There are just two things that the minister doesn't know, so I want to ask Lu Zhizhou." Guo Xizhao said, his eyes had already looked at Lu Jin, who was standing respectfully not far away.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of many officials changed, and they already understood that he was coming towards Lu Jin. Even the Son of Heaven has already noticed it, but after a little silence, he still said according to the attitude just now: "Guo Qing said that it doesn't matter. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Guo Xizhao saluted, he finally turned his body completely and looked at Lu Jin: "Lu Zhizhou, this official has something to ask, are you a civil official or a military official?" ”
Isn't that obvious? Lu Jin's face did not change, and he still replied in a calm tone: "Zhizhou is a civil official, which is common knowledge that everyone in the world knows. ”
"Well, in that case, why did you take the lead in this great victory? Could it be that you have a personal relationship with the general soldiers of Datong? Guo Xizhao immediately asked questions.
In fact, there are many officials below who have also given birth to this question, but they don't have the courage to raise it in front of the Son of Heaven. Now that Guo Yushi said this, everyone looked at Lu Zhen with strange eyes to see how he would answer.
If it was an ordinary official, because of his low status, he would have been overwhelmed by the momentum of this court meeting at this time, and then he was asked by such a second-class official, even if there were no questions, he would be out of proportion, and some didn't know how to respond. But Lu Zhen is obviously not such a person, and when he heard the questioning, he just smiled: "Can't civil officials lead troops to make meritorious contributions?" Haven't you heard the phrase "Winning a Thousand Miles Away" in the midst of strategizing? Or do adults think that the big man Zhang Zifang and Liu Bowen are all military generals? ”
This rhetorical question was indeed sharp and ruthless, and Guo Xizhao couldn't answer the question, so he could only snort in a low voice. Only then did he know that the young man in front of him was indeed very difficult to deal with, no wonder the Maharaja would regard him as a thorn in his side.
That's right, Guo Xizhao suddenly jumped out at this time, it was at the instigation of Wang Zhen, and he was also the key to Wang Zhen's control of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Of course, his position has always been no secret, so standing up and making things difficult for Lu Zhen at this moment did not make him feel too embarrassed.
It's just that Lu Jin's counterattack still made him feel a little annoyed, so he could only snort sarcastically: "It seems that Lu Zhizhou is quite confident in himself, and he actually compares himself to those two sages." ”..
"Don't dare, the lower official is just stating a fact. Whether or not he can make a contribution in the confrontation with the Mongolian people depends not on whether he is civil or martial, but in his heart. As long as you have a heart to guard the border for me and are willing to work hard, you will naturally be able to make some achievements. Lu Jin's words can be said to be leakless and stood on the high point of loyalty and patriotism, which immediately provoked many officials to applaud secretly.
"Well said, no wonder Lu Qing can make many contributions to the imperial court, so that's the case." The Son of Heaven couldn't help but praise it, and looked at Lu Jin several times with approval.
Lu Jinxi hurriedly bowed again and thanked the Son of Heaven for his approval, but his attention did not relax, and he was still careful to watch out for Guo Xizhao, he could see that the other party should still have a future.
Sure enough, after showing a trace of anger on his face, Guo Yushi quickly returned to normal, and looked at Lu Zhen with a sharp gaze again: "But this victory is still a doubt. In the past, my Ming Dynasty fought with the Mongols, even if it had the upper hand, it was difficult to have such a victory, but I don't know how your Datong border army did this? The inside story of this is not written into the good news, but I don't know if Lu Zhizhou, as the person with the first merit, can solve the confusion of my Manchu monarchs and ministers? Or can't the inside story be revealed at will? ”
His last sentence is a hidden trap, if Lu Zhen can't give a satisfactory statement, I'm afraid he will use this to question the truth of this big victory.
In fact, other officials were still skeptical about this, so they couldn't help but look at Lu Jin again, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation. Even the Son of Heaven was interested at this moment and looked at Lu Zhen with a smile.
Feeling the distrust of these many people, Wang Bing and several other border generals standing in the back felt very uncomfortable. Well, these DPRK and Chinese officials not only do not mention the reward of meritorious deeds, but constantly question the authenticity of their merits, which is really chilling.
It's just that after all, they have just come into contact with such a court, and even if they are dissatisfied, they don't dare to speak. And they also know their eloquence, even if they say it, it is not of much use, and everything can only rely on Lu Zhizhou in front of them.
It was only then that they knew what a wise decision it was for General Hu to send Lu Zhen to the capital. If he is a military general in the army, he will not be able to get this credit in the face of the doubts and difficulties of the officials of the DPRK and China.
Not far ahead, Yu Qian's gaze swept over Lu Zhen's body, and then fell to Wang Zhen, who was standing behind the Son of Heaven: "This Wang Zhen is really a complete villain, completely disregarding the hearts of the border guards, and actually wants to take Lu Jin's fault in this matter!" ”
Although he was unhappy, Yu Qian still had a lot of confidence in Lu Jin, so he didn't stand up to support Lu Zhen at this moment, but just stood there quietly, waiting for this young man's reaction.
A cold light also flashed in Lu Jin's eyes, and he was also a little irritated by the Guo Yushi in front of him. The other party is picking bones in the egg, and he has to deny this big victory. It seems that he doesn't need to give him any face, and he has to use some methods to suppress his arrogance.
After exhaling a breath of turbid air slightly and calming down his mentality, Lu Jincai glanced at Guo Xizhao with a smile: "Lord Guo's words seem to have some truth, but in fact, it is just some nonsense from people who don't understand military affairs." ”
He was a six-rank state official, and he dared to speak nonsense about a second-rank high-ranking official in front of the Manchu Dynasty's monarchs and ministers, which made Guo Xizhao's face also dark, and his heart was on fire. But before he could refute it, Lu Zhen had already taken the lead and continued: "Now there are thousands of Mongolian heads that were captured by my Datong border army outside the palace gate, and there are dozens of living captives to prove it. And my lord, you actually ignore these facts, instead of saying that this great victory was forged by my Datong defenders, that is really a big joke in the world. Dare to ask your lordship, if this great victory is fake, then where are we going to kill so many Mongolians? ”
When Lu Zhen said this, his voice was high and fast, and he was so powerful that even a high-ranking official was a little inferior. And before his words were finished, he immediately saw him turn around again and said to Zhu Qizhen: "Your Majesty, it is about the dignity and honor of my Datong border army, and the minister must give an irrefutable explanation." However, it was obviously difficult to convince Lord Guo just by talking, so the minister asked His Majesty for permission to let the three soldiers waiting outside the palace gate see and reply. ”
"Bold Lu Jin, dare to make such an rude request, where are you going to be in this court, can you let people in casually?" As soon as he said this, before the Son of Heaven could react, an official of the Ministry of Rites had already stood up and reprimanded him loudly.
Judging from his official status, it is appropriate to say this. But some people who know that he has already leaned towards Wang Zhen have a different opinion, obviously this one is here to support Guo Xizhao.
But as soon as his voice fell, a scene that surprised many people happened, and when today's son actually smiled and waved his hand: "What kind of faux pas is this, Lu Qing, he is also for the innocence of the border army." I'm right, you say, who are going to come in and speak. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Jin's heart was certain, and he quickly settled the matter, and then reported the names of the three soldiers: "They are Li Da, Liu Wu and Feng Si, all of whom are the most ordinary soldiers in the border army. ”
As the Son of Heaven nodded, some eunuchs immediately shouted loudly again, announcing that the three of them had entered the palace to reply.
After a while, the three soldiers entered the palace with some apprehension in the envious eyes of their comrades. Even if they were all fearless warriors in front of the Mongols, when they entered the palace at this moment, they were looked at by so many high-ranking officials and the supreme son of heaven, and they were panicked, and they could only kneel on the ground in a daze, not knowing what to do or what to say.
Seeing these three people behaving like this, many officials showed strange expressions, and they didn't know what Lu Jin's intention was in calling them into the palace. With the timid appearance of these three people, it is impossible to help him at all.
Only people who knew Lu Zhen quite well, such as Yu Qian and Wang Zhen, still looked at him thoughtfully, knowing that he must be planning something.
"Lu Qing, now that the person you want has also come in, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly. I'd love to know what you used to achieve such a big victory. The Son of Heaven then urged with interest. Speaking of which, among so many people, he was the purest who only wanted to know what had happened in this battle, and the others obviously had a deeper purpose.
Guo Xizhao's face darkened again with the words of the Son of Heaven, and he knew that he seemed to be a little too much to suppress Lu Zhen this time. But now there is no way to retreat, and can only hold on to the end.
And Lu Jin, with a solemn face, bowed to the Son of Heaven again, and then said: "Your Majesty, as the minister said before, it is true that some strategy was used to win this battle. But in addition, there are also the sacrifices of these border soldiers who do not care about life and death......"
