It's just that Lu Xiangsheng is too strong in battle, and his military exploits are there, and there is no good way to attack him.

Therefore, Chongzhen originally planned to set up a "northern governor" with Lu Xiangsheng in command, which could prevent both slaves and thieves -- this is what Chongzhen and Lu Xiangsheng said when they were summoned separately.

However, the matter eventually fell through. Lu Xiangsheng occupies the pit of the "trilateral governor", and has already delayed many "bigwigs in the DPRK and China" to get rich, how can he hand over Xuanfu and Datong, the second largest military salaries in addition to Liaodong? !

Lu Xiangsheng sighed heavily, although his innate excellent endowment and acquired Tengda official fortune were envied by everyone, but because of this, he had added a lot of pain to the "princes of the imperial court"-

Like those sages, I saw very clearly that the era in which I live has fallen to a hopeless point in the darkness, and I have also seen the tragic fate of many righteous men and gentlemen whom I have recommended. I even saw the powerlessness that filled my heart even though I was in a high position......

His personality is not as domineering as the "bear child" Xiong Tingbi, nor as upright as the "round and doodoo" Yuan Chonghuan, but he has a little more habit of thinking. However, it is precisely because of being good at thinking that it brings more pain to myself.

I am familiar with the subset of scriptures and history, and I know all the Yin Jian of the rise and fall of all dynasties, and even I have made a long and holistic reflection on the history of this dynasty -- I have worked the rules and regulations implemented since the founding of Taizu, as well as the gains and losses of the "previous emperors".

But the wider the scope of thinking, the deeper it becomes. The stronger the sense of powerlessness in my heart...... Even the conclusion of thinking for oneself is the same as that of many people:

"It's a time of despair—"

In such an era, his own response is not to issue fierce words, words or even strong actions like Yuan Chonghuan and Xiong Tingbi. But the will to "turn the tide" that emerged in his heart was indeed extremely firm!

"There is no way in the country. Till death remains the same! Lu Xiangsheng didn't know why, but such a sentence in "The Mean" came to mind. So he blurted out.

Lu Xiangjin looked at the eldest brother who was a little stunned, and quickly understood what he was thinking, so he also lowered his head, with a trace of unbearability in his eyes......

Lu Xiangsheng didn't notice the change in his younger brother's mood, and still muttered to himself: "No matter how hard you try, you can't save it...... However, since I am the people of the Ming Dynasty, I should do my best! Even if he is martyred, he is worthy of the heavens and the earth......"

After a long stick of incense, Lu Xiangsheng came back to his senses. He glanced at his brother. I have mixed feelings.

He has two younger brothers, Lu Xiangguan and Lu Xiangjin, and a cousin Lu Xiangtong, all three of whom follow him. However, recently, he sent Lu Xiangguan and Lu Xiangtong to Yansui in advance to prepare for the arrival of the Tianxiong army.

The three younger brothers have different temperaments, and they like to say "worthy of heaven and earth", which is what the second brother Lu Xiangguan agrees with the most. Lu Xiangguan often echoes himself: "In the world of life, what you pursue is the word no regrets!" ”

Lu Xiangguan's eyes often flashed with sharp light, and he even burst into tears when he was emotional.

Lu Xiangsheng sighed. I remembered my cousin Lu Xiang coming together. Lu Xiang's homosexual son is much milder than Lu Xiangguan, and the most common thing that appears is a lamentation and repeated muttering:

"Kong said to be benevolent, and Meng said to take righteousness. What do you learn when you read the books of the sages? ”

He seemed to be saying to others, as if he was encouraging himself. It seems to be repeating, extending the words of Lu Xiangguan.

And the younger brother Lu Xiangjin in front of him reacted completely differently from the two of them.

The same is a person who grew up reading the books of the sages. Lu Xiangjin is naturally inclined to the Buddha, and his preference is to study Buddhist scriptures. Ponder the teachings of the Buddha. As a result, he sees and thinks differently from others on many things; He never continued to say Lu Xiangguan's words, and he never even expressed any opinions.

His most common demeanor was to sit quietly with his eyebrows bowed and his eyes down, his eyes showing both peace and compassion, just as at this moment.

Lu Xiangjin sighed lowly: "How innocent is the creature-"

Such a sentence, in Lu Xiangsheng's ears, actually made the famous trilateral governor repeat a sentence:

"What a living being—"

Lu Xiangsheng's face darkened, because so far, his military exploits have mainly been to exterminate the thieves, killing Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others with a river of blood!

Lu Xiangsheng's body unconsciously trembled slightly, as if in a dream: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, just to strengthen my body. Who would have thought that it would be used to kill people now...... My name is to serve the country, my name is to suppress thieves, in fact, the people I killed are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, it is really - how innocent are the creatures! ”

The atmosphere in the room was a little dull, and after a long time, Lu Xiangsheng glanced at his younger brother, who was looking at his nose and nose and heart, as if an old monk had settled down.

Lu Xiangsheng knew that his younger brother was obsessed with Buddhism, so he sighed and said: "As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, you can't seek the well-being of the people and create a prosperous world, but can only kill living beings to solve the danger of the court for a time and a place - even if you are famous, what's the use?!" ”

Lu Xiangjin finally raised his head and looked at his eldest brother, but still didn't say a word.

Lu Xiangsheng became more and more excited, and there was a hint of flushing on his face: "When will the people of the world look forward to a peaceful and prosperous world where they can live and live?" ”

Lu Xiangjin couldn't answer this......

The window of the room was not closed tightly, and at this time, a gust of wind suddenly rose, putting Lu Xiangjin on the desk, and the letter of tension blew to the ground.

Lu Xiangjin frowned slightly, bent down and picked up the letter, but at this moment, Lu Xiangsheng's pupils dilated, and he suddenly remembered a "past incident".

Yes, Zhang Zhang is in Tuanshan Fort Tuntian, and he has always collected the displaced people from Zhangjiabao in Xuanfu and gave them a life without worries!

"Xiang Jin, the people who came to Xuanfu from Tuanshan Fort to pick up their relatives said that Lord Zhang, the Liaodong Inspector, had placed more than 100,000 people in Tuanshan Fort, and all of them had clothes to wear and food to eat—why did you say that Lord Zhang was able to carry out the affairs of Tuntian so well in just a few months?"

Lu Xiangjin shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, you don't know what the situation of the people of Daming is right now. The imperial court taxes have been increased again and again, and Lord Zhang's strategy of Tuntian to settle the people, the younger brother really can't figure it out! ”

After a pause, Lu Xiangjin said with a puzzled look: "Liaodong is bitterly cold, and it is winter when Lord Zhang is tuntian, how can there be any output?" If it weren't for the word of mouth of the people, the younger brother wouldn't believe it at all. (To be continued.) )
