"Not a word. Lord, this is also a good sign. At least this Mr. Lu is no longer on a hunger strike. No matter what season it is, Zhao Ziyu, who never leaves the folding fan, patted the folding fan in his hand and couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing his words, Zhang Shihua nodded silently, and couldn't help but turn over and dismount and walk into the courtyard.

This courtyard was originally owned by Huguang Pingzhang and Timur, so it covers a huge area. The five-entry courtyard holds nearly 100 Yuan and Mongolian officials, which not only does not crowd, but also ensures that each of the detainees can be assigned a room.

And in addition to Zhang Shihua's order, they must not be treated harshly in food. So these people are really good to eat and live in among them.

Therefore, in such a situation, the group of guys who can deeply understand that they are still alive and beautiful are not so resistant to the black-clothed army that detains them.

Especially after knowing about the liberation, except for a few who committed suicide in despair. Most of the others also had the idea of surrendering.

It can even be said that as long as Zhang Shihua comes forward to meet them alone at this time. Among them, eighty percent of the officials will choose to go down the slope and return to Zhang Shihua.

But today, Zhang Shihua is here just for one person. It can be said that as long as this person can submit to Zhang Shihua, the other officials will also submit to Zhang Shihua.

Yes, this person is Lu Sicheng, the left prime minister of Huguang Province, Jinshi and the first.

And he is also Zhang Shihua's heart to conquer the corporals and the most critical candidate to break the game.

This time, Zhang Shihua really played with the spirit of twelve points, hoping that this person could choose to surrender.

……

A moment later, the founder of the Black-Clad Army strode out of a delicate courtyard surrounded by everyone.

Standing outside this chic courtyard, he tidied up his clothes before leading his two subordinates into the courtyard.

The courtyard is exquisite, but there are more than twenty heavily armed guards in the small courtyard.

When he walked into the courtyard, the guards in the courtyard knelt down in unison and saluted him.

However, he didn't pay any attention to this, just looked at a young maid who hurriedly walked out of the house and said, "Is Mr. Lu inside?" ”

"In" Because it was the first time I saw Zhang Shihua, the trembling maid didn't say much.

In this regard, Zhang Shihua nodded silently, and Fang couldn't help but walk towards the house.

There is underfloor heating in the house, and even at such a time of year, it is not cold. However, the old man sitting cross-legged on the couch, even in such a room, was still wearing thick clothes, and his body was too old and weak to resist the cold.

At this time, the old man sat on the couch and read silently, even though he knew that the man who could decide his life and death with one word had come to the door, he did not give any reaction.

Seeing this, the burly and sturdy general who followed the man, wearing armor and a steel knife at his waist, couldn't help but widen his eyes, and subconsciously held the handle of the knife at his waist, looking very dissatisfied.

But the man didn't show any dissatisfaction at this time, but smiled and said, "Mr. can still lie down and read at this time, it's really a good amount of energy!" ”

"Heh" Lu Sicheng, the former prime minister of Huguang who was lying quietly on the bed, sneered, put down the book in his hand, glanced at Zhang Shihua and the three at the door, and said self-deprecatingly: "Trapped in the bandit camp, tigers and wolves look around." I have no power to restrain the chicken, so I have to talk about it. ”

"You ......" Hearing such sarcastic words, Li Wu next to Zhang Shihua looked at him angrily and wanted to scold. But when he thought of the purpose of his lord's visit, he had to swallow the scolding again.

But even so, Zhang Shihua still didn't care, "Heh, why should Mr. provoke with words." If you say that tigers, wolves, thieves, and bandits, the people of Yuanmeng, the barbarians, the birds and beasts, do not respect the sages, do not know the etiquette, steal the land of the Central Plains, wantonly kill, and pervert, the people of the world have suffered for a long time.

Xia Wei did not repair, Tang Wu revolution. For decades, the people of Yuanmeng have not cultivated virtue and politics, and today's results are all self-inflicted, why complain about the people!? ”

"Hmph" In this regard, Lu Sicheng silently turned his head and did not say anything.

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua sat on the stool opposite him in his robe, "Okay, since Mr. doesn't want to talk more about this matter, I'll get straight to the point." Presumably, with the talent of Mr., he was dismissed from office and exiled, and there was no hope for the Yuanmeng court.

Instead of being swept into the garbage heap by history with the decaying imperial court, why not return to obedience and contribute to the revival of the Han family. ”

"Oh, ridiculous. Thou shalt dare to make such a false remark as a milky hairy child. It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! Sitting on the couch, Lu Sicheng glanced back at Zhang Shihua, and the contempt on his face was undisguised.

"Bastard!" Seeing this, Li Wu, who was standing behind Zhang Shihua with a knife, finally couldn't bear it anymore, "My lord respects you as an old thing, but you don't know what to do." Old thief, you want to try it too, do I have a good sword! ”

"Shut up!" At this time, Zhang Shihua, who had been smiling, couldn't help but shout angrily, "Mr. Lu is famous all over the world and resists the change of money, how can you scold him." Don't get out of here yet! ”

"My lord, I ...... Subordinates obey! ”

"Don't blame Mr., the martial arts under the tent don't know the talents, and I hope that the gentleman will not be familiar with him."

"Humph!" In this regard, Lu Sicheng snorted coldly again and turned his head.

However, at this time, his face was much better than Fang Cai.

After all, Zhang Shihua just praised him for resisting banknotes, which is indeed the most proud thing he has ever done in his life.

Although this matter was not successful in the end, he himself was attacked because of this, and the leader of the literary world such as the central Guozi Jian Jiu was reduced to a position with no real power such as the provincial Zuo Cheng.

But he still doesn't regret the matter of 'resisting the change of money', and is often proud of it.

So Zhang Shihua praised him so much, and it really tickled him.

However, as Zhang Shihua said, Lu Sicheng, who is over 60 years old this year, was famous all over the world and was regarded as Wenzong by the corporal of the world, Li Wu was not born yet.

was scolded by such a child today, Lu Sicheng naturally couldn't give Zhang Shihua any good face.

So after knowing that he couldn't achieve his goal today, Zhang Shihua, who had already stood up, couldn't help but salute Lu Sicheng again, and said: "Whether to return to Shun and make another contribution to the rejuvenation of the Han family, I hope Mr. can consider it."

Today's abruptness, I hope Mr. will not blame. Let me go back, bathe and fast for three days, and then come to the door in person to make amends for my husband's sins. Saying this, he gestured to Zhao Ziyu behind him with his eyes.

Zhao Ziyu nodded silently, waved his hand and motioned for the guards in the courtyard to offer gifts, and then left here with Zhang Shihua.

……

"Lord, the one surnamed Lu is just a prisoner. For such a person, do you deserve to be so excited? If you fast for three days and come back, you don't think too highly of him. On the way back, seeing that it was the first time that the lord of his family attached so much importance to a person, and he still attached importance to a prisoner, Li Wu, the commander of the guards, couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart.

However, Zhang Shihua did not explain anything about this, but Zhao Ziyu, who was following Zhang Shihua's right rear, smiled and said: "The general doesn't know, although this Lu Sicheng is just a prisoner. However, he has served as a scholar of the Imperial History, a scholar of the Jixian Academy, a priest of the Guozi Priest, and a Zhongcheng of the Imperial History, and has also participated in the compilation of the three histories of Liao, Jin, and Song.

It can be said that he is the clear stream of the clear stream, and the master of the literary world respected by all the corporal in the world. Among the scholars in the world, he has an unparalleled prestige. Therefore, if the lord can recover him, he can also use this to win over the world's scholars.

And at that time, the lord's grand plan and hegemony will no longer be unstoppable. Therefore, for this Lord Lu Sicheng, it can be said that it cannot be overstated. ”

"I see. This time, it's really a subordinate with shallow knowledge. Following behind Zhang Shihua, Li Wu couldn't help but look like he had been taught after hearing Zhao Ziyu's words.

Then he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead when he thought of what he had just done.

I almost ruined the lord's big thing, and the next time I see that old thing, it seems that it can't be like this.

Thinking so silently in his heart, Li Wu, who was afraid, didn't say anything more along the way.

……

Time is like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

So at this time, Zhang Shihua, who had really bathed and fasted for three days, couldn't help but bring a large number of gifts and found Lu Sicheng again.

Stepping into the exquisite courtyard where he was being held, when he was about to walk to the door, Zhang Shihua turned around and glanced at Li Wu who was following him, and couldn't help but order: "Ah Wu, this time you are waiting here." No need to go in. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" After knowing the importance of Lu Sicheng, Li Wu naturally had no opinion on Zhang Shihua's instructions.

In this regard, Zhang Shihua nodded silently, and then tidied up his clothes again, and Fang couldn't help but take Zhao Ziyu to the door of the room.

"Sir, can you see each other?"

This time, Zhang Shihua did not break in directly, but stood at the door with Zhao Ziyu and inquired.

However, for Zhang Shihua's inquiry, Lu Sicheng snorted coldly and couldn't help but say: "Lu is just a first-order prisoner." They all rely on the general's breath to live, so why should the general be so pretentious. ”

Titled, from the first meeting of the thief tiger wolf to the general. Obviously, Zhang Shihua's move still played a role.

So even though Lu Sicheng had the intention of mocking him at this time, Zhang Shihua was still smiling and did not hide anything.

"Sir, it's been three days. Don't know what you're thinking about? ”

"Consider? Hehe, don't think about it. General Zhang, you know what. This year, I'm in my sixties. At such an age, in the words of our hometown, it is already considered loess buried to the neck. Old, there are really no years to live.

In the first year of Taiding, I was thirty-two years old. For more than 30 years, I have served six Great Yuan Emperors before and after, and have been the Great Yuan courtier for most of my life. Over the years, I've done wrong things, and I've done commendable good things.

For a lifetime, that's all. There's really no idea of a makeover. Yes, but begging the general, you can give the old decay a death, so that the old decay can be preserved. ”

As he spoke, Lu Sicheng bowed and knelt on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Shihua's face couldn't help but smile, looking at Lu Sicheng who was kneeling on the ground and just begging for death, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Lui, you know, this is not the result I want to see. So, I hope you think about it. Don't work hard for half a life, but in the end, it will be a catastrophe! Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty visited the thatched house three times, and invited Zhuge Wuhou out of the mountain.

So, in three days, General Ben will come again. At that point, General Ben hopes that Mr. Ben will make the choice that General Ben wants to see. Sir, think about it! ”

After saying this, Zhang Shihua turned around without hesitation, and left the courtyard with Zhao Ziyu and them without looking back.

And Lu Sicheng, who was kneeling on the ground, listened to Zhang Shihua's footsteps that were gradually moving away, but his face was still as calm as water, and he was not moved in the slightest.

……

"Bastard!" Holding back his anger and returning to his residence, Zhang Shihua, who finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, couldn't help kicking the table in front of him.

"Three days, if you haven't lifted up, I really don't dare to kill you!" Picking up the white jade teacup at hand, Zhang Shihua, who was furious, couldn't help but smash the valuable things into pieces.

And the first time I saw Zhang Shihua so angry, as Zhang Shihua's new housemate, Lou Yuzhen, who had been called Lou Woman by Zhang Shihua's generals these days, couldn't help but kneel beside her maidservant, her whole body trembled, and she didn't dare to breathe at all.

"Whew, all right. Let's pack it all up. Yuzhen came over and gave me a massage, I'm tired. ”

"Yes, sir." Lou Yuzhen, who was kneeling on the side, carefully stood up from the ground, came to Zhang Shihua's side, stretched out her Qianqianyu fingers and gently kneaded Zhang Shihua's head, although there was curiosity in her beautiful eyes, she didn't dare to ask more, for fear of angering the man in front of her again.

……

It was another three days, and the time came to the twenty-fourth day of the first month of the fifteenth year of the Zhizheng. And this day is also the day when Zhang Shihua gave Lu Sicheng an ultimatum.

In the early morning of this day, Zhang Shihua still led a group of people to the courtyard where Lu Sicheng was held.

But this time Zhang Shihua's face was gloomy, and everyone under his command was empty-handed, and he didn't bring any gifts.

took his subordinates to the outside of the courtyard, but this time he hadn't entered the courtyard yet, and he saw Lu Sicheng standing in the middle of the courtyard with a white robe.

"Mr. Lu, how is it, have you thought about it?" Looking at Lu Sicheng, who was neatly dressed and meticulous in taking care of himself, Zhang Shihua, who had a slightly gloomy face, asked in a deep voice.
