How should it be?

When this question was placed in front of Hu Linyi and Zuo Zongtang, the two of them suddenly fell into silence, in fact, since Zhu Yifeng "broke in" first, they firmly occupied the highest point of morality.

No scholar can deny the "Spring and Autumn Righteousness", and cannot deny the Huayi debate, which is even one of the cores of Confucian culture, and it is precisely because of this that Zhu Yifeng has been invincible from the beginning.

Of course, more importantly, the enslavement and massacre of the Han people by the Manchu court in the past two hundred years, and the suppression and distrust of Han officials are also unavoidable realities. Not allowing the Han people to hold important military power is "the deep meaning of the previous emperor's measures". ”。

The reason why He Lin taught his juniors in this way was nothing more than to prevent them from "accidentally entering the forbidden place" because of their youth, in other words, this distrust also affected their identification with the Qing court, but before that, the Qing court was their only choice.

But what about now?

But there are other options, but this choice is too difficult for them to make. After all, the social relationship and family background of the two make it so that when they make this choice, I don't know how many people will be implicated.

When the two fell into silence, Zhu Yifeng, who felt a little dry, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, maybe his talent was not as good as the two of them, but he knew very well that the reason why there were rumors that Zuo Zongtang wanted to join the Taiping Army in later generations was actually the speculation caused by some "doubts" in his personal experience. In September of the third year of Xianfeng, after Zuo Zongtang left Zhang Liangji's shogunate and returned to his hometown, he insisted on not "going out of the mountain" for the time being. Later, Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Hunan, was hired three times, and he "thanked him with excuses", which was quite a bit of a waiting. This is obviously inconsistent with his ambition of making contributions and "taking Zhuge Liang as his own".

Although according to the analysis of later generations, it was false that he wanted to join the Taiping Army in history, on the other hand, after leaving Zhang Liangji's shogunate, Zuo Zongtang really wanted to calm down and observe the current situation in front of him in depth, so as to grasp the opportunity to make a comeback, rather than acting blindly. This is consistent with his cautious and thoughtful personality in life.

For such a person, it is not possible to convince him in a few words, but judging from the "doubts" in his history, his previous defense of the Manchu Qing is just a pretext that even he himself does not believe.

You still have a chance!

"It's a pity!"

In this strange silence, while putting down the teacup, Zhu Yifeng opened his mouth and sighed.

"It's a pity that some people in this world have no intention of seeing the situation clearly, and are willing to be used by the Manchu Tartars.

This exclamation made the minds of the two of them sink, especially Hu Linyi, for him who first fell into the cause of advancing and retreating and could not retreat, and then suffered a new defeat, now Zhu Yifeng's sigh made him see an opportunity. But the risks of this opportunity made him have to deal with it carefully.

"Governor Zhu, it's not unintentional, but can't do it?"

Zuo Zongtang, who strictly abides by his duty, asked this question somewhat unconsciously after a long silence.

"Why not?"

Zhu Yifeng asked firmly,

"The Tang Wu Revolution, Shuntian advocated righteousness, and the history books have been full of praise for three thousand years. Liu Bang's snake rebellion, Li Yuan's rebellion against Sui, Zhao Kuangyin's Chen Qiao mutiny, and Emperor Hongwu's expulsion of Meng Yuan are all righteous actions in the world. Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, although it wanted to cut off the backbone of our Han people with a butcher's knife, but in the past two hundred years, the resistance of the Han people has never stopped. Since Jiaqing, the corruption of the Manchurian people has become increasingly apparent. At the end of Daoguang, the external humiliation was in the four provinces, and the internal rot was in the eighteen provinces, and the gods and men were angry, so there was a Hong Yang uprising. From south to north, from east to west, the people are all looking forward to the heroes of our Han family to drive away the evil and restore our Shenzhou. Zhu Moufang only used volunteers to recover our China, and only waited for him to train more than 100,000 male soldiers a day, and he would definitely go on a northern expedition, conquer the Beijing division in one fell swoop, and correct the righteousness of our China. It's a pity that the people of the present world are surrounded by the small section of loyalty and respect, ignoring the righteousness of saving the country and saving the people, and even more slaughtering for two hundred years, so that my people are restrained and cowardly, and finally only to protect themselves and the safety and well-being of their families, they have failed the aspirations of hundreds of millions of people, so how can they be worthy of our ancestors in China! ”

Zuo Zongtang and Hu Linyi were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they couldn't imagine that the loyal monarch they pursued who thought they could leave a hundred generations would be ridiculed by this Zhu Yifeng as a "small section", could it be said that this is really the case?

No! No, this Zhu Yifeng is a traitor, so, so ...... But, but...... In the depths of his heart, there was a voice that reminded Zuo Zongtang, and his words were reasonable, that is, in this collision of thoughts, Zuo Zongtang seemed a little dazed.

Hu Linyi shook his head on the side and smiled bitterly:

"What the Metropolitan Governor said is really very clever, I never thought that the Metropolitan Governor is not only good at using soldiers, but also longer at demagoguery."

"Can the human heart be bewitched?"

People's hearts can not only be bewitched, but also fooled, of course, Zhu Yifeng would never say this, but said with a straight face.

"One family surname, one country, compared with the two, which is more important, which is greater and which is smaller, this is a question that is not difficult for ordinary people to answer. However, many well-read adults and gentlemen are often very ignorant. The reason why they show ignorance in this matter is not because they are not ill-informed, but because they are filled with selfishness. The two brothers have been studying poetry and books diligently, self-denial and repentance to improve their conduct, or concentrating on hard study in the countryside, or working hard to work hard in government affairs, all of which are limited by "loyalty to the king". If in the prosperous era of our Han people, this sincerity can be attached to the tail of the horse and travel thousands of miles, accompanied by the beautiful sun and shine on the future generations, but the two of them were born at the wrong time. Today, Aixinjue Luo ignores my Han family, so that hundreds of millions of Han people are miserable, the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty can be described as a waning mountain, the breath is dying, the day is not precarious, the line is about to die, the two want to suppress the world and make the Manchu Zhongxing, is not the fate of the wood to seek fish, and it is like the opposite of the south. Besides, why not hang the people for the crime of fighting and revenge? Why not? ”

The words changed abruptly, and Zhu Yifeng said sharply again.

"If the two brothers are stubborn in the small section of one family and one surname, they forget the great righteousness of saving the people of the country. He will not say that the two brothers are loyal ministers of the Aixinjue Luo clan, but will only say that the two of them are traitors who have forgotten their ancestors! Not only will it not go down in history, but it will be remembered for thousands of years! ”

Such a sharp reprimand, only said that Hu Linyi and Zuo Zongtang suddenly had a cold sweat on their backs, and the two of them were all pale when they were said, and they also seemed to have the feeling of a big dream, for the two who were over forty years old, this kind of awakening may not be too late, but for them, the impact of this big dream Fang Jue was far from being acceptable for a while.

Although it is unacceptable for a while, I have to admit that what he said is the truth!

"Two brothers, the rest of the words, Zhu will not say anything, Zhu's road has been decided, only to follow the righteous deeds of my ancestor Hongwu Emperor, expel the Manchurians, restore China, restore my old state of Han and Tang Dynasties, save my people from fire and water, and save my nation from the general. As for the two brothers, if they are willing, Zhu will greet them and entrust them with important tasks to save the danger of my Han family, if you are unwilling, you will ......"

After a slight pause, Zhu Yifeng's expression showed a little helplessness.

"Both of them are rare talents of my Han family, although they are different from Zhu Gandao, but Zhu can't bear to harm Er, etc., if the two are willing to promise not to help the abuse, for the use of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zhu should return the two to their hometowns......"

After saying this, Zhu Yifeng said deliberately.

"Of course, if the two of you have a difficult choice, you can't wait to stay here for the time being, take a look at the changes in Wuchang first, and then make a choice, it's okay! Zhu said goodbye! ”

After that, regardless of the surprise of the two, Zhu Yifeng walked straight out of the room, and when he walked out of the courtyard, he whispered to Zhang Sen, who had been waiting outside the door.

"In the past few days, the supervision has been relaxed, and if they are willing to go out, let them out!"

The Grand Governor's order made Zhang Sen stunned, and then asked softly.

"Governor, there are all kinds of fish and dragons on this street, and the minister is worried about whether they will take the opportunity to escape!"

"Escape?"

Glancing at Zhang Sen, Zhu Yifeng sneered.

"If you can't even look down on these two people, what does the Governor want from you?"

Indeed, you can be the head of intelligence, and you can't even look at two people, what's the point of asking you? In fact, this is also knocking on Zhang Sen, after all, his position is too sensitive, and in the future, his position may even threaten himself, if he is not beaten, how can he use it with confidence,

"Please rest assured, if they escape from Wuchang, there is no need for the governor to cut off the head of the minister, and the minister will take off the head himself!"

Although he is a scholar, Zhang Sen knows what to say when establishing the military order, and often some words are as straightforward as possible, which is easier to win people's trust.

"Your head, it's still useful for the Pontus to keep it!"

After the appropriate suppression, Zhu Yifeng said casually.

"Grand Duke, if they don't want to be used by our rebels, are you really going to let them go?"

Zhang Sen's tentative question made Zhu Yifeng's face change slightly, and then he sneered.

"The Governor of Pontus only said that he would be allowed to return home!"

Yes, it's just a matter of letting him go home, and as for "returning to his hometown with a corpse" or "returning his hometown safely", those are two completely different concepts. (To be continued.) )
