All men are mortal? Keep Dan in mind!
If it were someone else, when he recited this sentence silently, he might feel a kind of power, but whenever Zhang Liangji tried to imitate his ancestors and silently recited this piece of "Crossing Zero Ding Yang" by Tianxiang in his heart, what he felt was a different kind of absurdity, especially when he was trapped in Wuchang, when he silently looked at the "Han" flag fluttering on the head of the city, the sense of absurdity was even stronger.

Because Prime Minister Wen is a Han Chinese, he is loyal to the Han court, the Han family, and he Zhang Liangji is a Han Chinese, and what he serves is the Manchu court! It's the emperor of the people!
"Traitor!"
Again, this word appeared in his mind, and when he thought of this word, he hurriedly wanted to shake his head at this word, but he couldn't shake this word, in the past, when he was the governor of Ren Yungui, he also reprimanded the "traitors" in official documents - that was because the Miao people were often colluded by traitors in rebellion. That's because Miao Yi has all the utensils, but crossbows, javelins, and the like, such as shotguns, are all from "traitors".
At that time, in his opinion, "traitors" were lawless people, but now, he feels that the hat of "traitor" is buckled on his head, why is this so?
Because he is a Qing minister, and he is also a loyal minister of the Great Qing State.
But all people, from life to death, from death to life, will always think a lot, especially for people like Zhang Liangji, who were once extremely popular ministers. Once upon a time, he also hoped to die to repay the king, but then the thief not only did not kill him, but first imprisoned and then imprisoned, so that he had the intention of survival.
And when he was surviving, the word "Han" was like a magic barrier constantly permeating his mind, and even he dreamed of the "Meritorious Stone", thinking that after he died one day, would he be like that Zhang Hongfan, and would be added a word in front of the monument by later generations.
What would that word be?
Is it Ming? Is it Han?
But whether it is Ming or Han, if that word is added, he Zhang Liangji will become Zhang Hongfan again, and he will naturally become a traitor!
On the one hand, he tried to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, but on the other hand, he was afraid that he would become a "meritorious sinner of the meritorious stone" after his death.
In fact, the reason why his heart is so entangled is entirely because of the influence of the current situation, first the Cantonese bandits swept through the south of the Yangtze River like a devastating state, and then the thieves swept across Huguang, especially the surprise attack on Wuchang by the righteous army, which broke his courage and made him doubt the qi of the Great Qing Kingdom.
In this feeling that his qi is about to run out, he will be entangled in this.
If the Cantonese bandits hadn't swept Jiangnan, and the thieves hadn't swept Hubei, he would naturally not be as entangled as he is now, and he would just be dead. And now an unavoidable question is that the Qing Dynasty is seeing that its strength is about to run out, and the Northern Expedition of the Guangdong bandits is even more like a devastating and decaying, it can be said that the trend of the world seems to be a foregone conclusion.
And more importantly, the Qing Dynasty, which is close to the number of qi, is not the court of the Han people!
"The Meritorious Sinner of the Stone of Merit"
Silently reciting this sentence in his heart, thinking about the thief's move to come out of the nest to take Hunan, Zhang Liangji couldn't help but sigh.
"Could it be that the Qing Dynasty is really exhausted?"
Although his sigh was not big, it easily spread outside the tent, and reached the ears of Hu Linyi, who had just arrived at the tent, and listening to Zhang Liangji's sigh, he opened the tent door and said.
"Since you know this, why is Mr. Shi Qing still so entangled!"
Raising his head and looking at Hu Linyi who had entered the account, Zhang Liangji's expression became a little embarrassed, as if the secret of his heart was being spied on.
"Liang Ji has received the great favor of the former emperor and the present, and he can't help but repay it!"
Zhang Liangji shook his head stubbornly again, yes, this is exactly what he is entangled in, for Daoguang in the fourteenth year, and then he was promoted as the cabinet secretary. Later, Zhang Liangji, who was promoted to Hualing, said that his road to officialdom was far smoother than that of Hu Linyi and others, and it was precisely because of this that he was so entangled.
"Mr. Shi Qing is so confined to the small section of loyalty to one family and one surname, and forgets the righteousness of the people of the country. In the annals of Qianqiu, it may be said that the adult is the loyal minister of the Aixinjue Luo clan, but he will never think that the adult is the great husband of the light universe, Mr. Shi Qing, I think that the loyal minister of Meng Yuan, how many people can remember it now? And who doesn't know the loyal ministers of my Emperor Song and Emperor Ming? ”
After this rhetorical question, Hu Linyi sat directly beside Zhang Liangji, and saw that the teacup on his table was empty, so he poured a cup of tea for him, and then said slowly.
"Fang Cai Ji Gao sent someone to send a letter, Changsha has been down, Luo Ruzhai is captured for my righteous army!"
"Ahh
Although he was not surprised by the fall of Changsha, Zhang Liangji was still startled when he heard the news, after all, it had only been two days since the troops were dispatched, and he looked at Hu Linyi in surprise for a while before saying.
"Ji Gao can be called the brightest in the world, his talent is far greater than that of Liangji, Zhu Dudu can get Ji Gao and Runzhi, it can be said that he is like a tiger with wings!"
"Changsha City is not Ji Liang's ability!"
Shaking his head, Hu Linyi faded away Zuo Zongtang's merits with a word.
"It's really the desire of the people, the will of heaven is so, the will of heaven is in me, who can go against the sky!"
Who can go against the sky!
Hu Linyi's words only made Zhang Liangji's heart beat slightly, and he was already a little swaying, but it would be even more chaotic, for fear that the chaos in his heart would be peeped by others, he hurriedly picked up the teacup, and when he tried to hide his inner thoughts by drinking tea, the tea entered his throat at the same time, but he couldn't wash away the inner turmoil.
Providence so!
Could it be that this destiny ......
"Runzhi thinks that Fang Jinwuchang is tied to the mandate of heaven?"
For hundreds of years, scholars have always believed in the Mandate of Heaven, and Zhang Liangji is naturally no exception, just like he thought that the Qing Dynasty was about to run out, but in fact he was also obsessed with the Mandate of Heaven, and now, his question, as if he wanted to be confirmed by Hu Linyi, but Hu Linyi did not answer him but asked rhetorically.
"Then, in Mr. Shi Qing's opinion, is this Mandate of Heaven still in the Qing Court?"
This...... How can this be answered? Seeing that Zhang Liangji did not answer, Hu Linyi asked again.
"Then in Mr. Shi Qing's opinion, is this destiny a Cantonese bandit?"
"Cantonese bandits? Humph......"
If he didn't dare to judge whether the Mandate of Heaven was still in the Qing court, he didn't have any scruples about the Taiping army.
"Cantonese bandits, believe in cults, destroy my holy gates, burn my scriptures, kill my people, plunder people's property, what they do is nothing more than Liukouer, even if the military power is for a while, how can it last long? Such as Hong Yang, but now Huang Xuan and Li Zicheng, how can the mandate of heaven be there? If the destiny is there, then don't do it! ”
After such an excited attack, Zhang Liangji hurriedly took a sip of tea to calm his inner emotions, but when he tried to calm his inner emotions, he only heard Hu Linyi laughing on the side.
"In that case, then Mr. Shi Qing, what do you think of my righteous army?"
Although Hu Linyi did not mention the Metropolitan Governor, how could Zhang Liangji not know that the "Righteous Army" he was referring to actually referred to the Metropolitan Governor. He pondered in silence for a moment before speaking.
"The government of the governor of Hubei is really embarrassing!"
Zhang Liangji didn't use too many words to comment on the righteous army, but simply used the word "shame" to say his "shame", and when he said this, Zhang Liangji seemed to understand why Hu Linyi said this to himself.
The other party's answer only made Hu Linyi nod with satisfaction, and then he picked up the teacup, looked at the flickering oil lamp, and said slowly.
"What is this destiny, Lin Yiyan dares to talk nonsense, but the governor once said that what he means is the "Zhaozhao Mandate of Heaven" of my Han people, and the destiny of heaven is at ease with my billions of Han people! The tyrannical person who is as tyrannical as Meng Yuan, and never thought that although there was a **** Han person who hit him with a wooden stick, he could also drive him to Mobei and not return? This is the destiny of heaven! This is the will of God! ”
Perhaps because of some excitement, when Hu Linyi put down the teacup, the movement seemed a little loud, so that the cups and saucers made a slight crisp sound, but he didn't seem to hear it.
"Providence is like this, how can you and I go against the sky?"
Hu Linyi's warning sounded in Zhang Liangji's mind like thunder, constantly hitting his heartstrings, so that he looked at the other party in horror and muttered between his lips repeatedly.
"Providence is like this, how can you and I go against the sky?"
Yes, providence is so, who can go against the sky!
If the billions of Han people are like the red scarf at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, how can this full of people and the court of this full of people be exhausted?
Just when Zhang Liangji's heart was shaken by these words, Hu Linyi's words came into his ears again.
"There is a way that good birds choose trees to perch, virtuous ministers choose the lord and do things, Mr. Shi Qing's talent and learning far surpass the younger generations, since he should know what is the sage today! I don't need to say more about it! ”
Good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose their masters. Every time the world is revolutionized, I don't know how many sages have faced such a choice like themselves.
"Then, in Runzhi's opinion, this ...... What is the time of the bright base? ”
When he said this, Zhang Liangji seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, looking at the junior in front of him with anticipation, and his words were full of the meaning of seeking advice, in his opinion, the reason why he came to lobby himself was obviously on the order of the Grand Governor.
"With Mr. Shi Qing's talent, how can Lin Yi's class get an axe?"
This made Hu Linyi humble instead, not only refused to advise, but turned his words around and turned to other places.
"Actually, the reason why I came to meet Mr. Shi Qing is because Mr. Shi Qing is a big family in the world, so I came here to ask for advice!"
As he spoke, he handed a piece of paper to Zhang Liangji and said in a serious tone.
"I wonder if Mr. Shi Qing can solve the confusion in Lin Yi's heart?" (To be continued.) )
