Regarding Li Rusong's words, Xiao Ruxun disagreed.

"Exactly! So Zhang Jiangling was doomed. ”

The smile on Xiao Ruxun's face disappeared, and was replaced by a frosty face: "Since ancient times, the people who have set things right are all people who hold military power!" Li Zongbing, Zhang Jiangling was restrained because he obeyed the rules as the first assistant, I Xiao Ruxun is nothing, when words and means can't solve the problem, this is the last way to solve the problem. ”

Xiao Ruxun took his sword and pulled out half of it.

This was also how the Manchus finally solved the problem.

"No!"

Li Rusong stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Ruxun's hand: "The Great Tomorrow has been stable for a long time, what's the chaos, what's the opposite?" If the name is not right, you are the chaos, you are the opposite! Governor Xiao, I said, I'm not stupid, I studied under the great Confucian Xu Wei, what you think, I didn't think about it thirty years ago, but Mr. Xu only said one person to me, I know how ignorant I am, do you know who it is? ”

Xiao Ruxun took a deep breath and withdrew the sword from its scabbard.

"Wrong."

"Since Governor Xiao knows, I won't say more, what is the fate of Chao Wrong, Governor Xiao should know very clearly, even if you don't say Chao Wrong, just say Zhang Jiangling, Zhang Jiangling is not dedicated to the country, and doing things is far less drastic than Chao Wrong, what is the result? Governor Xiao, who do you think Your Majesty is today? Wise as Emperor Jing is not the same, so that Chao is wrong? ”

Li Rusong lowered his voice again and said: "Don't say anything else, say something disrespectful, the power in the hands of Your Majesty today, Governor Xiao, can't you see it?" Not as powerful as you do! The decree does not leave the palace! Something really happened, who do you think can help you speak? Fortunately, it is a group of literati who are in power, and they have no intention of rebellion. ”

Seeing Xiao Ruxun's expressionless face, Li Rusong sighed.

"When you are young and vigorous, everyone has some impulses, the older you get, the smaller the impulses, Governor Xiao, you and I are the same, just military generals, in the eyes of today's world, we have no qualifications to meddle in government affairs, let alone say anything to set things right, a literati can kill people with a mouth and a pen!

Sometimes it's even sharper than the sword in our hands, so sharp that even the emperor has to retreat, what can we do! It's true that you are a governor, but you are not a civilian, after the war is over, you will inevitably go to work, and then return to Burma.

Why should I hit that governor, why should I be violent? I just want to tell those little officials, don't mess with Lao Tzu in the name of Jinshi! Provoke Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu and beat you like who you are! But this is only useful for petty officials, the older civil officials don't do anything with you at all, and you don't dare to do anything with them.

They don't know that Burma can make money now, if they know one day, Governor Xiao, can you hide it? Those hungry wolves can pounce immediately, and in the end, you are better than me, but the top of the sky is the same as Mu Wangfu, the door does not go out of the second door and does not protect the body, the things in the world are the best in the world, but the people who protect themselves are also the most. ”

Xiao Ruxun looked at Li Rusong and said, "Then Mr. Li is also a person who protects himself?" ”

Li Rusong was silent for a while.

"Not thirty years ago."

Xiao Ruxun nodded.

"Mr. Li, should you really be willing?"

Li Rusong picked up the leg of mutton and bit a piece of meat.

"I hate to chew them up."

Xiao Ruxun also picked up the unfinished half of the roast leg of lamb.

"Can you endure for a lifetime to get what you want? Is it better to live by stealing life, or to die heroically? ”

Li Rusong shook his head.

"You believe me, no one will know that you Xiao Ruxun died heroically, and no one will know why you died, if you die, you will be a national thief, ignoring Jun'en's rebellion, and leaving a stench for 10,000 years; If you are alive and wagging your tail and begging for mercy, you are the famous general of the country, the first general of Wanli, the name of the history, Governor Xiao, Xiao Jixin, how do you choose? ”

Xiao Ruxun swallowed the meat in his mouth and was silent.

Li Rusong bit another piece of meat and chewed it.

"I still remember at that time, Mr. Xu once got drunk and asked me a question, he asked me, if the descendants of a hundred years and a thousand years later know me, how should they know, I said, of course, it is to make contributions to the battlefield, and then leave a name in history! Posterity will know my exploits in the history books! I know that I am a great general and a hero!

As a result, Mr. Xu laughed drunken and hazy, and he said, do you think the thieves in the history books are all thieves? Are heroes heroes? Virtuous ministers are virtuous ministers? Villains are villains? Have you seen them with your own eyes? Have you talked to them? It's not still a pen, a historian's pen, a pen that the authorities want you to write whatever you want!

There is only one Dong Hu! Qi Taishi has only one family! Can you believe what is written? Don't say anything else, Ji Xin, do you believe that Liu Bang is the son of the Red Emperor? That's what the history books say! When those emperors and generals were born, the sky was full of auspiciousness, flowering and fruiting, cranes and dragons, do you believe it? That's what the history books are all about!

You are against the civil officials who hold the pen of the history book, how do you expect them to write about you? Write that you are cruel and unkind, that you kill the enemy, that you are greedy, that you turn your back on Jun'en! Even if it is Your Majesty, what can Your Majesty do? No one dares to scold him when he is alive, let alone after returning to heaven? What a beautiful scenery Jiajing Ye was back then, as soon as he took his breath, his body was still hot, and Xu Jie turned his head to scold himself. ”

Xiao Ruxun ate meat silently and didn't say a word.

"We are generals, do what a military general should do, and don't participate in other things, even if you always lose battles, as long as you dare to fight, you can be a famous general, really, Ji Xin, I don't lie to you."

Li Rusong viciously gnawed a leg of mutton, and then slammed the bone on the ground.

"What a world!"

Xiao Ruxun heard him shout like this.

"I'll think about it."

Xiao Ruxun just said this, such words obviously can't satisfy Li Rusong, to be honest, it's a happy thing to be able to explain everything to Xiao Ruxun tonight, the heavy things that pressed on his heart before are gone, it's just that Xiao Ruxun's statement made him a little anxious.

"Ji Xin, you must think carefully."

Xiao Ruxun smiled.

"Don't worry, Brother Zimao, I won't say a word about everything we say tonight, I hope you are the same."

Li Rusong opened his mouth to say something, but finally he didn't say it, just nodded: "I won't say it either, it will rot in my stomach, no one will ever know, I, Li Rusong, will do what I say." ”

Xiao Ruxun threw away the mutton bones and clenched his fists with both hands: "Thank you!" ”

Li Rusong knew that it was time for him to leave, so he hugged his fists and turned around to leave.

"Brother Zimao, wait a minute."

After walking a few steps, Xiao Ruxun's voice came from behind him, Li Rusong stopped and turned around, looking at Xiao Ruxun suspiciously.
