Chapter 102: Murder and arson
"Zhao Junyong? What is he here for? Lu Lu was stunned and asked in surprise.
Although the Red Turbans placed him under house arrest in this mansion, they did not impose any restrictions on the range of movement of the four domestic servants under his command. Therefore, through the servant's substitution, he has inquired about the internal structure of the Xuzhou Red Turban Army and what it has done since the rebellion. I have long known that Zhao Junyong is the marching chief of the Xuzhou Red Turban, and he is the number one real power person in the Xuzhou Red Turban Army except for Sesame Li.
Such a second-in-command with heavy troops, instead of maneuvering soldiers and horses, continues to attack the city and plunder, what is he doing here with the old man? ! Play a Corporal Lixian and trick the old man into surrendering? Okay, the old man told you to know what it means to reprimand a thief in person, to defend the courtier's day?!
Thinking of this, Lu Luzeng didn't have the heart to continue practicing his wild grass. He threw the brush on the inkstone and commanded loudly, "Go and tell him, and go to the main hall to see the tea." The old man has inconvenient legs and feet, and he can't go out to greet him in person, please forgive me! β
"Sir, he, he's here!" The corners of the servant's mouth moved, but he didn't dare to persuade him again. I had to go to the concierge cautiously to spread the word. Who would have expected that Zhao Jun would not be angry at all with his rude behavior towards Old Master Lu. After listening to the words of the servant who deliberately tactfully conveyed countless times, he stood up with a smile and commanded in a low voice, "Then there is little brother Lao, you will lead the way." Master Lu is an elder of Confucianism, and Zhao didn't dare to let him wait for a long time. β
"Yes, yes! Alasβalas! The servant, who had already prepared to accept the anger of his master, was once again startled, and said yes, and hurriedly trotted forward to lead the way. Zhao Junyong carefully tidied up the Confucian shirt on his body, and followed him in all directions.
After a while, he came to the door of the main hall, and without waiting for the servants to go in to report, Zhao Junyong cleared his throat and said loudly: "Zhao Sheng, the junior of Xiao County, meet the good father." I have heard the name of the good man for a long time, and today I can listen to the teachings in person, which is really the luck of the three lives of the younger generation! β
"You, you're a reader?" When Lu Lu heard this, he was immediately stunned. He quickly opened the door and asked loudly.
"I once studied in the county school for three months, but then the county school was abolished, so I fended for myself!" Zhao Jun sighed and responded with a bit of regret.
When he saw Zhao Jun wearing a Confucian shirt through the window, Lu Luzeng had actually guessed in his heart that he used to be a scholar. At this moment, when he heard Zhao Jun confirm it with his own mouth, he sighed and responded with a wry smile, "Lu is now a prisoner under the order, so don't mention the word teaching." At that time, the imperial court ordered the abolition of county schools in various places, and Lu also fought for it on the basis of reason. But the treasury is empty, and the need for money everywhere cannot be delayed. So, so"
In the second half of the story, he himself felt that his face was hot. So the sound got lower and lower, and lower, until at last it was inaudible.
In order to let the people under his rule better understand the "righteousness of the monarch and the minister", the Dayuan court once opened the school to the county level for a period of time. Even in some areas, social studies, a grass-roots "education" institution, have been set up. However, like other decrees of the Great Yuan Dynasty, this good government soon came to an end. Most county schools have been closed, and even the size of schools at the prefectural and road levels has been withdrawn again and again because of financial and outlet problems.
As one of the leading figures of Confucianism, Lu Lu once of course expressed strong opposition to the imperial court's move to abolish the school. However, the meaning of the Mengyuan court asking them to save zΓ i is to show the world's scholars, lest the latter rebel out of despair. Therefore, the opposition had no effect every time, and we could only watch as there were fewer and fewer schools under the rule of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and more and more government-run temples.
The imperial examinations were open and abandoned, and the schools were running fewer and fewer schools. When these scholars all over the world can't find a way out, they naturally have more and more resentment against the imperial court. Thinking of this section, Lu Luzeng's scolding words that he had originally prepared in his stomach were a little speechless. He sighed a long sigh again, and added in a low voice: "In the past few years, the court has indeed been a little lighter than the people who were waiting for scholars, and some measures have also failed to take a long-term view. However, this situation has gradually changed since the reset of the right phase. It's just that some changes don't happen overnight! The old man can't be too anxious! β
"The younger generation is among the people, and I have also heard of the feat of the good man who has spoken up for my Confucian children many times. I admired it in my heart, so as soon as I had free time, I immediately rushed over to visit. I don't know if the good man is willing to allow the younger generation to enter the story, so as to fulfill the admiration of the younger generation for many years?! Zhao Junyong immediately smiled again, and while complimenting the other party, he put forward his own request.
Lu Luzeng realized that he was still blocking the door, smiled awkwardly, and made a gesture of please, "Fast forward, fast forward." This was originally the place of your Xuzhou red scarf, Lu Mou's magpie's nest dove occupied, how could there be a reason to keep the original owner out of the door? ! β
"In this way, the juniors are very grateful!" Zhao Jun made another gesture, and then carefully picked up the robe and raised his legs to cross the threshold.
Lu Lu had seen that although his speech and demeanor were a little stiffer, there was a strong Confucian flavor everywhere. Some hurtful words are more embarrassed to say in person. First, the guest and the host sat down with each other for tea, and then casually said a few polite words, and then took the initiative to ask: "Since Zhao Sheng has entered the county school, he must also have a table word, right?!" Lu is the Huainan consolation envoy of the imperial court, and you are the long history of the Xuzhou red scarf, and it is awkward to greet each other. How about matching the words with the table?! β
"Don't dare, don't dare, the good man is a predecessor of Confucianism, and the later students don't dare to trespass no matter what!" Zhao Jun heard it and immediately stood up again. While saluting the other party again, he added loudly, "The words of the younger generation are used by the king." Originally, there was a name called Shiliang. But it's been a long time since anyone called, and the juniors themselves almost forgot about it. β
"Shiliang? Gentleman's use? Lu Lu had repeated the other party's name and words in his mouth, and his eyes suddenly began to light up. This name is a word, but from the inside out, it reveals loyalty to the Great Yuan Dynasty! If you are forced to do so, how can you go down the evil path?!
was thinking excitedly, but heard Zhao Jun say with a smile: "Back then, the younger generation also thought that if you learn all your skills, one day you will be famous in the Chongtian Sect like the good man." How can I make people into confusion, and I became the second leader of the Xuzhou Army! β
Hearing this, Lu Luzeng's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he quickly stood up, supported Zhao Jun's arm with both hands, and politely helped him back to his seat. Then he taught in the posture of a Confucian elder: "The roll call under the Chongtian Sect is just a means for my generation of Confucian scholars to show what they have learned in their hearts. There is actually nothing to envy. However, Jun used in this Xuzhou red scarf to restrain the people under his command, so that they can do less killing and more good deeds, which is secretly in line with the benevolence and forgiveness pursued by my Confucianism. After hearing this, the old man was very impressed! β
"Don't dare to be a good man!" Zhao Junyong hurriedly stood up again and waved his hand curtly. "Not killing innocents and treating the people well is the principle that I have pursued since the beginning of the Red Scarf in Xuzhou. The younger generation thinks that only in this way can my Xuzhou Yijun be worthy of the word "righteousness". In the future, when historians mention what we have done, they will not classify us as thieves and Huangchao. β
"You are also afraid of the words of the historian?!" Lu Luzeng's brows jumped slightly, and two fierce lights burst out of his eyes in an instant.
"History is like a knife, how can you not be afraid?! The younger generation has become a waste in this life, how dare he leave a thousand years of infamy behind him?!" Zhao Jun slowly took half a step back and responded with a sigh.
Although the words of these two armies were extremely brief, they revealed each other's mentality clearly. Lu Lu immediately felt his heart beat wildly, and he tried to suppress it a few times before he shuddered and returned to his seat, and said slowly: "In this way, Jun Yong is definitely not here to insult the old man today!" β
"The good man is famous, how dare you do that boring thing and be the enemy of the Confucian people in the world?!" Zhao Junyong smiled and shook his head slightly. "Besides, how can a good man be the one who is willing to be moved by coercion and temptation?! The reason why the younger generation has not come to see the good man until now is because he has not weighed it clearly in his heart, and he doesn't want to be bullied early. β
"Now, you can weigh it clearly?!" Lu Lu had slowly picked up the tea bowl and tried to pour it into his mouth, but his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't hold the tea even.
"Why should the good man ask knowingly!" Zhao Junyong's answer was very calm. It's as if I've been preparing for this moment for a long time. "The younger generation not only weighed it out for themselves. And he has already said that he has moved Chief Zhao, and he is willing to put down his weapons and wait for the court to dispose of them! β
"Wow!" The teacup in Lu Luzeng's hand was not held in the end, and most of the half cup of water was poured into his arms at once. He didn't feel hot at all, jumped down from the chair, stared at Zhao Junyong's eyes and asked, "Is this true?" β
"Your Excellency must also know that we did this disobedient thing because we didn't want to be starving!" Zhao Junyong took another half step back and saluted respectfully, "If the imperial court is willing to give leniency." We are willing to hand over our weapons and go home to farm! I hope that my predecessors can truthfully listen to heaven. Zhao and the 80,000 children of Xuzhou Red Scarf will regard their predecessors as reborn parents and never live up to the great grace of life! β
"This, let the old man think about it. Let the old man think carefully about a charter and come out! Lu Lu Zeng no longer cared about pretending to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and kept circling around the table.
After being captured, he remembered that his family lived in Dadu, and the elders of the clan also lived within the rule of the imperial court. What he thought about the most was that he would rather fight to the death than accept the solicitation of the Red Turban Army and bring disaster to his family. But deep down, the desire to survive is as strong as when I first climbed out of the water! No matter how many Confucian classics are recited, no matter how long poems are written to express the will to die, this desire cannot be suppressed!
Now, the best of both worlds is finally delivered to your door! went back alive, not because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, but because he wanted to pacify the Xuzhou red scarf for the imperial court as soon as possible. Not only will they no longer drag down their families, but their merits and demerits will be offset by their demerits, and they should not be punished in any way for their previous defeats!
And the matter of recruiting peace if you can't win, the court is not without precedent. Fang Guzi has repeatedly rebelled, how many years has he been in trouble in the southeast? Right now, doesn't the imperial court still want to make him the leader of ten thousand households?! Sesame Li occupies a territory larger than Fang Guzi, and his subordinates have more people than Fang Guzi, so why not give him a command of the Han army?! If these 80,000 male soldiers are caught in their hands, what Yingzhou Liu Futong and what Qizhou Xu Shouhui, the last time to calm down is just around the corner! And because of his great merit in recruiting a strong team for the imperial court
Thinking of this, Lu Luzeng's heart was on fire. After walking a few steps quickly, he grabbed Zhao's arm with both hands again, "Junyong!" If this is done, there will be a place for you in the future in this road of virtue. Without further ado, you do your best to write down the requirements of the Xuzhou red scarf, the old man, the old man will definitely do his best to wait for Yucheng to do this! β
