Today's second update is delivered! , Well, knowing that it was Zhang Zhun's agitation method, Lu Xiangsheng still couldn't help but fall into the trap. This person is somewhat face-loving, and Lu Xiangsheng is no exception.

In fact, Lu Xiangsheng still loves face very much. refuses to change the court, which is also closely related to his character. What he hates most is a character like the three family slaves. Of course, killing rogues is not as glorious as killing Tartars, but that is also serving the imperial court, isn't it? What do you mean by denying all my merits in one bite?

"Am I wrong?"

Zhang Zhun's eyes were cold, and he said lightly.

"You are ignorant!"

Yan Xiang responded with a huff.

"Am I ignorant? Okay, then tell me, how much ability does the rogue have? Do they have strict discipline? Are they tightly organized? Do they have good weapons? Do they have a clever strategy? Do they have enough logistical food and grass? Do you have? ”

Zhang Zhun said with a smile.

"You!"

"What do you know*......"

"The morale of the rogues is much stronger than that of the officers and soldiers!"

Lu Xiangsheng stared at Zhang Zhun with the same small gaze, and said stupidly.

"The morale of the rogues, why do you want to go?"

Zhang Zhun was full of suspicion.

"The rogues are outlaws, and they have no other way to survive but fight to the death until they are killed. They are not afraid of death at all, and their only purpose is to keep killing, to keep killing their opponents. You haven't seen them, so you can't infer them with common sense at all. They are simply a bunch of madmen, a bunch of incomprehensible madmen, "those women" dare to come up with weapons and fight you! ”

Lu Xiangsheng said stupidly.

"Okay, then, why don't you have any other way to live? You said that a woman dared to come up with a weapon and fight with you, I couldn't believe it. How could a woman fall to such a point? ”

Zhang Zhunhu asked suspiciously.

"Because the court doesn't give them a way to live......"

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng spoke, he immediately realized that something was wrong, this was not defending the liukou and accusing the imperial court, wasn't it? As a member of the imperial court, how could he say such a thing? Well, now to be precise, "I can no longer be regarded as a member of the court, and after the resignation, I have nothing to do with the court."

"Oh, I see! It turned out that the imperial court forced these people to have no way to live, so they had to rise up and resist. And you, Lord Lu Xiangsheng, are ordered by the imperial court to "kill them, to kill a group of people who have no way to live." In that case, why don't you want to find a way to give them a way to live? Isn't that much more effective and faster than just killing?"

Zhang Zhun said quietly, as if he was very humble about studying.

"You!"

Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to shut up immediately.

He found that he had been going around in circles, "and he was turned around again." didn't pay attention for a while, and he blamed the court for not leaving. This was a phenomenon that had never happened before, and he would never accuse the court of wrongdoing. He didn't know if this was Zhang Zhun's trap, and deliberately lured himself into dissatisfaction with the imperial court. However, "he was really depressed.

He worked the front line to suppress bandits, tired and tired, and ran around with the rogues day and night, not to mention fighting, just running away "can abolish half of his life." And other officials of the imperial court are desperately urging more bandits in the back. The thieves spawned much faster than he cleared. However, the imperial court will only blame them for their ineffective suppression of bandits, and will definitely not reflect on what is the reason for the emergence of so many rogues.

In the dead of night, Lu Xiangsheng also had puzzles and complaints. These complaints, of course, were not directed at Emperor Chongzhen, but at other colleagues in the imperial court. He felt that he had worked very hard and hard, but many of his colleagues were still pulling his hind legs behind. To say that Lu Xiangsheng did not have any dissatisfaction with the imperial court, it is absolutely impossible.

Even, Lu Xiangsheng was dissatisfied with King Fu and King Xiang. Because, they occupied a large amount of land, so that too many people became homeless, and became the main source of troops for the rogues. He was also dissatisfied with many local officials and large families, because their granaries were full and some of the grain was rotten, and they were reluctant to use it to help the victims, resulting in a steady stream of bandits. Every time the rogues killed and rebelled, killed and rebelled, and could never be killed, or even killed more and more, Lu Xiangsheng deeply felt that it was impossible to solve the problem of the rogues by force. Therefore, he proposed to the imperial court the "Jingkou Suimin Rules", put forward the theory of attaching equal importance to the Suimin and Jingkou, and hoped that the imperial court would take practical and effective measures to reduce the speed and number of refugees and eradicate the soil produced by the Liukou while asking him and Hong Chengchou to desperately suppress the thieves.

However, after the song was sparsely struck, it was as if it had sunk into the sea, and there was no reaction anymore. On the contrary, it blames them for their ineffective reprimands against thieves, which keep coming. The meaning of the imperial court is obviously very clear, just to ask him to be responsible for killing, and leave nothing else alone. Even, someone once hinted to him face-to-face, whether you are speaking for the court or for the rogue, don't sit in the wrong position.

However, how can such a single strategy of extermination be victorious? Lu Xiangsheng himself was deeply worried about the prospect of future victory in the suppression of thieves. Although he never showed these worries, the people around him did not know. Later it turned out that while he killed one thief, at least three more thieves appeared, and five more outcasts could become thieves.

There was no way, in order to exterminate the rogues as soon as possible, he had to use his power without the approval of the imperial court to clear the land, reclaim the land within the jurisdiction, and then recruit the wanderers to cultivate, settle them down, and prevent them from becoming new rogues. Some of the rogues who were caught committing lesser crimes were also released by Lu Xiangsheng and put into agricultural production.

Zhang Zhun's words just hit a sensitive nerve in Lu Xiangsheng's heart. For a long time, Lu Xiangsheng was very worried that his actions "may not get the support of the imperial court" and may even become an excuse for others to attack him. Although their intentions are good and their strategies are correct", however, it is possible to be misunderstood and lead to other ideas.

Because of these sensitive psychology, when Zhang Zhun's topic lured him to a certain level, he really couldn't help but say some words that were dissatisfied with the imperial court. This inevitably made Lu Xiangsheng secretly blame himself and doubt himself, could it be that "I am really not loyal enough to the court?"

The first priority of Zhang Zhun and Lu Xiangsheng's meeting was to crack down on Lu Xiangsheng's loyalty to the imperial court, and unknowingly make Lu Xiangsheng dissatisfied with the imperial court. Seeing that his previous words had a certain effect, Zhang Zhun immediately changed his words and said casually: "Lu Xiangsheng" Do you think that Emperor Chongzhen doesn't know about your belly? ”

Lu Xiangsheng was suddenly frightened and inexplicable, and subconsciously glanced at Zhang Zhun.

Defamation, this is a very vague, but terrible crime. Lu Xiangsheng never thought that "such a crime would be linked to himself." His mind spun quickly, thinking of his own imprisonment, thinking of his crimes, and his thinking gradually became confused. This is for a person who is good at thinking, "thinking is chaotic, and it is absolutely fatal." Because it means that you are easily influenced by others" and thus make wrong judgments.

I don't know when the ministers were dissatisfied with the emperor "There is no need to say it, as long as you have such thoughts, the emperor can punish you." This crime is called slander. At times, it is also called "resentment......". As long as you are involved in this crime, the end will definitely be very miserable.

Because, most emperors will subconsciously feel that those who quietly slander me behind my back are much more hateful than those who express their dissatisfaction with me in person. Therefore, their treatment of such people is also much heavier. In the eyes of the emperor, I am the emperor, I am the sharp-eyed, perceptive of everything, you don't say anything, as long as I think you may be dissatisfied with me, I can dispose of you.

Emperor Chongzhen would actually dispose of himself for the crime of slander? How is this possible? In any case, Lu Xiangsheng could not accept such a charge. Because, from beginning to end, he did not have more than half a sentence of resentment towards Chongzhen. Perhaps, he is indeed unaccustomed to some other ministers in the court, and may have complained about them inadvertently, but to His Majesty Emperor Chongzhen, the conscience of heaven and earth, Lu Xiangsheng is absolutely loyal.

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Lu Xiangsheng, is it important that Sun Chengzong is dead?" Or is Changping lost its importance? Changping is lost, who did Chongzhen dispose of? Sun Chengzong was killed, but he wanted a governor of the five provinces to be martyred, didn't you realize that there was a problem here? ”

Lu Xiangsheng didn't know how to answer.

Faintly, he felt as if he was about to touch something he feared most. And these different westerns were all subconsciously avoided by him before, and he didn't dare or was unwilling to take the initiative to touch them. Every time he thought of something, he would quickly ignore the past. But Zhang Zhun's words made him have to touch it painfully, and the painful Chengcage In fact, in Lu Xiangsheng's view, it should be more important for Changping to lose. What is Changping? It is the mausoleum of the previous emperors. Even if Sun Chengzong is an emperor, he is also an outsider, and he is not as important as the mausoleum of the first emperor. Changping was lost, and the tombs of the previous emperors were all attacked and disturbed by Jianyu, how could such a crime be more serious than Sun Chengzong's killing?

However, the blame is here, Changping was lost, Chongzhen didn't hold anyone accountable, but he went to the temple to cry bitterly. The other ministers didn't seem to mention it, as if nothing had happened. Compared with the two, Emperor Chongzhen's treatment of his Lu Xiangsheng is indeed a bit heavy, even a little too heavy.

To say that there is no other reason for this, Lu Xiangsheng himself can hardly believe it. Yes, his thinking began to be consciously induced by Zhang Zhun. Zhang Zhun thinks that there is a shady scene in this, and Lu Xiangsheng also subconsciously thinks that there is indeed a shady scene in this. Actually, there really isn't too much shady in this.

The matter of Changping is not that Chongzhen does not want to be accountable, but that there is no way to be accountable. Chao Pichang, the chief soldier stationed in Changping, took the initiative to surrender to the Tartars, and all the others were killed. Dead Death" surrendered surrender, who else can Chongzhen be held accountable? Besides, Sun Chengzong's matter has not passed, he will cry and mourn in Changping again, everyone should not do anything else except crying every day, should this court continue to operate? There was no way, Chongzhen had to suppress the matter.

However, "Zhang Zhun proposed it at this time" touched Lu Xiangsheng very much. He's also human, and he also has mood swings, "especially after so many events, his mood swings are very strong." He began to look for the reason in his own body, and reflected on what he did not do well enough to be misunderstood and disposed of by the imperial court.

"Is it because of my slack?"

"Just because you said some justice for those rogue thieves?"

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but ask himself quietly in his heart.

His original intention was by no means to forgive those traitors, especially the leaders of the rebels, and he resolutely adopted the principle of dealing with them severely, strictly, and quickly. As long as he catches the leader of the rogue, he will definitely not be relentless. In the past few years, the leaders of the rogue who have died in his hands, if not a thousand, have hundreds. Even if it can't be compared with Hong Chengchou, it won't be much different.

However, Lu Xiangsheng was convinced that it would be impossible to pacify the Liukou by force alone. This is what the murderous Hong Laojiu is also in favor of. Every time Hong Laojiu met the rogues, he killed many people, and became a murderer behind the rogues. However, in secret, Hong Chengchou took the initiative to organize the displaced people to reclaim the land and be self-sufficient. In this regard, Sun Chuanting is a good example.

Sun Chuanting searched for ownerless fields in many places in Shaanxi, gathered the displaced people, distributed farm tools and grain seeds, and organized the displaced people to cultivate the fields, which greatly reduced the probability of the displaced people turning into homeless bandits, which made the thieves in Shaanxi gradually calm down. It can be seen that this kind of thief method is much more effective than simple killing.

Facts have shown that the key to cracking down on thieves lies in taking the initiative to resettle displaced people. Lu Xiangsheng believed that as long as the displaced people were allowed to settle down and did not join the ranks of the exiles, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others would not be effectively replenished, and they would naturally be destroyed. Otherwise, if a large number of homeless people have no work, even if all the traitors here are killed, there will still be a large number of homeless people who will become thieves.

In fact, Lu Xiangsheng found that Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others were often surrounded and intercepted by the officers and soldiers, and only two or three hundred people remained, and it seemed that they were about to be wiped out. But after they escaped, they could still gather more rebels, and they had the ability to confront the official army. In Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, Sichuan and other places, there are displaced people everywhere. As long as someone raises their arms and calls, the responders gather. The thieves took advantage of these favorable conditions and grew again and again.

Lu Xiangsheng discussed with Hong Chengchou in private, and agreed that the key to leveling thieves is still the homeless. As long as there are still a large number of displaced people in these places, it will be impossible to pacify the rebels. It is estimated that there are tens of millions of displaced people in the country, can they kill them all? Even if you kill these 10 million, maybe another 10 million will be generated.

Continuously wrote to the court, asking the imperial court to take effective measures to solve the problem of the displaced people, Lu Xiangsheng was in the heart of a fist, and absolutely carried any personal selfish interests. He really wants to do the good of the country, and he really wants the Central Plains to restore tranquility. Could it be that his own hard work was not understood by Emperor Chongzhen? Even, could he have misunderstood himself?

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng did have a feeling of despair.

If Emperor Chongzhen disposed of him for Sun Chengzong's affairs, Lu Xiangsheng would not have the slightest complaint, he thought that in this matter, he really did not do his best, even if he was executed, there was nothing to say. However, if Emperor Chongzhen dealt with him particularly seriously because he felt that he was slandering and resentful, Lu Xiangsheng felt that he was very wronged and aggrieved. Because, he really has no slander and no resentment.

Yes, there is no one who does not desire to be known.

Lu Xiangsheng has always felt that Emperor Chongzhen understands himself, recognizes himself, and supports him. For this reason, he worked hard and worked hard for Chongzhen. However, Zhang Zhun's words made him see the side he didn't want to see the most~ Chongzhen was most likely trying to take revenge on him in a different way.

"No, it won't!"

"No, it won't!"

"No, it won't!"

Lu Xiangsheng roared desperately in his heart In fact, even he knew that he was roaring in despair.

Dismissal, never used, these six big words weighed heavily on Lu Xiangsheng's heart.

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Lu Xiangsheng, you can take a look at these pieces again." ”

After that, he casually handed a piece of music to Lu Xiangsheng.

This recital was originally written by Gao Qiqian to Emperor Chongzhen, and later Emperor Chongzhen added a comment, asking Gao Qiqian to pay attention to preserving troops and waiting for Zhang Zhun to do it after the Tartars retreated. The envoy of Huang Taiji gave it to Zhang Zhun, and Zhang Zhun kept it forever. This is the best evidence to question Emperor Chongzhen in person in the future.

After Lu Xiangsheng saw it, his face remained unchanged, and he said coldly: "You traitor! It should have been to die! If I had done it my way, I would have done it to you a long time ago! Can you wait until now? ”

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "You say I'm a traitor, so what are you?" ”

He casually threw out another piece of music and said disdainfully: "See for yourself!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng took it and took a look, and after only one glance, he suddenly became excited, and a sickly red color appeared on his thin face. He shouted, "No! No! No! It's impossible! It's impossible! I'm going to plead! I'm going to plead! ”
