Chapter Seventy-Nine: Dream Everyone's Help
After the Empress Dowager Jiang entered the Forbidden City, she saw that there were still many places in the palace that were broken walls, there were still unsorted blood, and there were also large areas of gray and black places scorched by fire. Although the Empress Dowager Chiang did not see the scene of the battle, seeing these residual evidence, she could still imagine the fierceness and tragedy of the battle at that time, and better understood why her son was defeated so quickly. It's not that his son Zhu Houxi is too weak, but that Lu Bing is too strong, and Lu Bing, along with his Lu family, is a group of demons.
The Empress Dowager Jiang was sent to Cining Palace, which was originally where she lived, and she was not allowed to move to other places, and the specifications of the attendants and maids were also equivalent to the Empress Dowager, which can be described as courtesy, but the excessively luxurious things were no longer available. All the people waiting around were still respectful, and it was estimated that Lu Bing had already explained, and he did not speak coldly because of the defeat of the Empress Dowager Jiang.
The Empress Dowager Jiang didn't use clichΓ©s, she asked what the palace maids and eunuchs would say, knowing everything and saying everything, knowing Lu Bing's policy after entering the palace, as long as the emperor canonized the woman Qiu did not move, the Empress Dowager Jiang knew that what Lu Bing said would definitely spare Zhu Houxi if she had the opportunity. It seems that Lu Bing is determined to win his victory, and only hopes that after the end of the war, he will put Zhu Houxi under house arrest and return the harem to him. Looking at Lu Bing's failure to occupy the harem, the Empress Dowager Jiang admired Lu Bing's ambition even more, and he was greedy for beauty, such a determined person was better than his son Zhu Houxi, and Zhu Houxi's loss was not too much of a loss.
In fact, the better Lu Bing treats the Empress Dowager Jiang, the more uncomfortable her heart becomes, remembering all kinds of things in the past. I can't help but feel a lot of emotion. On the road of forcing Lu Bing away, he is also one of the accomplices, even if Lu Bing has his own places. is too arrogant and straightforward, but it is also because he is a talent that he is like this, and he is just arrogant. At the same time, his various actions are because of Lu Bing's brotherly affection for Zhu Houxi, and he is not very defensive in his heart. Many times it is an expression of sincerity, otherwise who would be stupid enough to beat the emperor, or even have a good future to wake up the emperor? Throughout so many years. Lu Bing has saved Zhu Houyu more than once, and there are countless places that have helped Zhu Houxi, even if he is not Zhu Houxi's little brother, he doesn't miss the old feelings. Even if he is just a courtier, he is hard work and achievement, and he should not be treated like this.
Lu Bing's rebellion was at a time of difficulty, when Zhu Houxi stripped him of his real power, and now it has reached the point where he has to send an arrow on the string, otherwise Lu Bing would not have taken such a road. At that time, Lu Bing held military power. When I was a Dragon Shadow General. At that time, if he wanted to rebel, Zhu Houxi didn't even have room to fight back, not to mention what to say and Bai Yu's personal grudge led to Lu Bing's loyalty, the Empress Dowager Jiang still knew this, and every personal grudge in front of the world was a floating cloud. Lu Bing did not oppose at that time, which is enough to show his loyalty. Then, Lu Bing succeeded in quelling the rebellion, and Zhu Houxi withdrew his title of Dragon Shadow General. And in batches, he first withdrew the right to command the world's soldiers and horses, and then collected other military powers. This as an emperor. The master of a country must ensure that the imperial power is in his own hands, and there is nothing wrong with this, otherwise there will be two emperors in the world who are in chaos.
But what is commendable is that Lu Bing didn't even hesitate and handed over the whole thing. And Zhu Houxi asked him to go to Nanjing, and he went, without a word of complaint, it is not easy for brothers to be like this, and as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, it is very rare. How many high-powered people rebelled for the power in their hands, and how many people tried their best to keep their own power, and played with the emperor to cultivate the plank road and darken Chen Cang, and the dark under the lamp still controlled the government, these Lu Bing had never been.
Looking at the Cining Palace where she was, the Empress Dowager Jiang was even more emotional. This was originally called Renshou Palace, and later part of it was damaged, but the remaining part was enough to live, but the Empress Dowager Jiang and her son had the same thoughts, and they deserved to be their biological mother and son. Then death must build a new one, the old things of the previous dynasty are not good things, and they must be unique and open up the world. So Zhu Houxi rebuilt the three major halls and also built the Heart Nourishing Palace, while the Empress Dowager Jiang was clamoring to build this Laoshizi Cining Palace.
Lu Bing spent one-third of the funds for the construction of these palaces, which made the Empress Dowager Jiang very happy. And the rest, in addition to the profits of the southern business community and the income of the Jiangnan Textile Bureau, the rest is the contribution of officials from all over the country. How do local officials get the money, it is nothing more than expropriation. Therefore, it is said that the people of the people are not happy, why do the sparks become a prairie fire, and everyone exposes the rod and everyone condemns it, that is, because the people have no way to live, which also has a slight role of the Empress Dowager Jiang.
If the money had been used for the construction of the Ming Dynasty, the reform of weapons to improve the quality of soldiers, and the improvement of the official system to improve the treatment of residents, then Lu Bing's rebellion would not have been so smooth, and the people who had the emperor in their hearts would still account for the majority. When the time comes, the world's heroes will be escorted by the king, what a glory it is, and Zhu Houxi can also sit firmly in the position of the lord of Zhongxing. Even if Lu Bing is reversed, he will not end up in the current situation, but now? I can only laugh at it.
The Empress Dowager Jiang sighed secretly, her son and her own poverty and lust, spent a lot of money to build a palace draft girl, and did not pay attention to the development of the country, especially after eight years on the throne, she began to be willing to degenerate, how could the country be undefeated? The capital of the country is gone, but this qiΔ has become a wedding dress for others, and he sighs that in the end, what he is trying to do is just an empty one.
How can the Empress Dowager of the Jiang family be too long and short, at this time she is no longer able to return to the sky, Lu Bing sits in the capital, dominates the world, and sees that the north-south passage in the east is about to be opened, and the preliminary prototype of the great unification has been formed. All the blocking forces, under the strong combat effectiveness of the Lu Jiajun, will be like a devastation, being twisted and crushed, and it is unstoppable and will take the world!

"Sister Meng, I'm sorry for you." Qi Shuhai saw that Meng Xueqing came to visit him, and regardless of his physique, he turned over and got up with a linen bandage wrapped around his body, so he knelt on one knee and clasped his fists on the top and said.
Meng Xueqing hurriedly helped Qi Shuhai up, nodded at Qi Shuhai's wife and said, "Brother and sister, quickly help Shuhai to the bed, he can't get cold from multiple injuries on his body, and there is still a lot of work waiting for him in the future." Don't get sick because of this. This catastrophe will not die, but there can be no problems after the war. β
Qi Shuhai went back to bed with the support of his wife, but he was not bedridden. Wearing a piece of clothing, he sat on the edge of the bed and said to Meng Xueqing: "Eldest sister, I didn't listen to Xun'er's construction, but I fell into an ambush, and Xun'er broke his fingers in order to save me." β
Meng Xueqing nodded and smiled: "I've heard about this, I don't blame you, you are the commander of the army, even if you are wrong, you should be." Besides, he is a junior, and it is also an honorable move to save his uncle's injury. The children of the Lu family are not more than the children of other people's families, and they will naturally be injured when they go into battle. I still have to hope that Shuhai will ignore your past suspicions, and don't care about the sin of children contradicting you and disobeying military orders. β
"Eldest sister, don't say that, me. Qi felt uncomfortable. A good boy went out to fight with me, and he didn't hurt him in the slightest, but in order to save me, hey, what other face do I have to see you. Qi Shuhai said, and Meng Xueqing comforted: "Okay, Shuhai, taking care of your injuries is the right way, and the matter has passed." Let's not talk about it. When the injury is healed, help me take care of the affairs a little more, that's the right thing, right? β
"I can help you right now." Qi Shuhai hurriedly said when he heard this.
Meng Xueqing smiled slightly and said, "You see that your linen belt is oozing blood." Don't be fooled by me, I'll have to be busy, I'll come back to see you. If you feel that your body is okay, go and help me, the management of the Shandong territory is inseparable from you, the more the war is smooth, the more we can not make mistakes in this big rear, and we must not fall short. If you're not feeling well and rush to find me, then I'm going to be really angry. β
Qi Shuhai nodded again and again with emotion in his heart, and was about to get up to send him off, but was stopped by Meng Xueqing and said that it would be enough for her younger siblings to send her. After going out, Meng Xueqing explained to Qi Shuhai's wife, asking her to pay attention to Qi Shuhai's diet, what she can eat and what she can't not eat, what is easy to make the wound inflamed, etc., etc., Qi Shuhai's wife is Xiaorui looking for someone to help say that she is pro, and the woman who married Qi Shuhai is also a well-known rich businessman woman in Shandong, who is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is relatively simple and very virtuous.
Meng Xueqing got into the car when she went out, and asked Qi Shuhai's wife to go back, as soon as the car curtain was lowered, Meng Xueqing's eyes turned red on the spot. Thinking of her son running to Nanjing to join his eldest brother Lu Yi, and thinking of the disability on his hands at a young age, Meng Xueqing suddenly felt heartache, mother and son were heart-to-heart, but the injury on her son hurt in her heart. However, Meng Xueqing is sad and happy at the moment, and it is needless to say that she is sad, that is, Lu Xun, who has been pampered since she was a child, is afraid of melting in her mouth, and she is afraid of falling off in her hand. Naturally, this emotion can't be revealed in front of Qi Shuhai, the more open-minded he is, the more he can remember it in his heart, Qi Shuhai is a grateful retribution, which Meng Xueqing can see clearly. And all the open-mindedness and ignorance are done for outsiders to see, and it has a better effect for what his son Lu Xun has done.
Meng Xue Qingxi has finally grown up in her son and done a thing that stands up to the sky, this time the good achievements will make Lu Bing pay attention to it, and it is estimated that he can get rid of the image of a gentleman for many years, and now he has saved Qi Shuhai again, which is a great credit. The more low-key he is, the more Lu Bing will find out, but he thinks that Lu Xun and Meng Xueqing's mother and son are not arrogant, and Lu Xun will definitely be valued by Lu Bing at that time.
It is impossible to say that Meng Xueqing has no selfishness, and Lu Bing's Shandong Empire can be said to have paid Meng Xueqing more than ten years of hard work. Over the years, Lu Bing has paid more and more attention to Lu Yi, but he is afraid that if he continues like this, according to Meng Xueqing's understanding of Lu Bing, it is unknown that Shandong Foundation will let Lu Yi inherit it. In all fairness, Lu Yi is indeed a talent, and given time, let alone surpassing Lu Xun now, it is not a problem to surpass Lu Bing. But after all, Lu Xun is his own flesh and blood, and Meng Xueqing still hopes that Lu Xun can inherit Lu Bing's YiqiΔ.
Over the years, Lu Yi has been sharp and has made many achievements, and Qi Shuhai is also the younger brother of Lu Yi's mother Xiaorui, and he will definitely be a big bargaining chip for Lu Yi in the future competition, and now it is a good opportunity to buy people's hearts, this is a life-saving grace, it will be greater than the sky, and when the time comes, I don't expect Qi Shuhai to help him, as long as he doesn't hurt himself, it will be a blessing. And with the increase of Lu Xun's prestige in the army, coupled with the huge power he later mastered in the south, Lu Xun's position became more and more precarious.
Lu Xun was not angry before, he only knew how to eat, drink, and play around every day, because of many previous things, Lu Bing had a bad impression of Lu Xun. Ten fingers stretched out are not the same, let alone expect the child to be able to level a bowl of water, since ancient times, parents have loved it, so Lu Xunyan's identity as the eldest son is even less important in the eyes of Lu Bing, a person who is out of secular concepts. Whether it is biological or not can be ignored, let alone grandchildren. Later, when Lu Yi went to the south to do things, Lu Xun's temperament changed greatly, and Lu Xun, who admired Lu Yi very much with Lu Yi as an example in his heart, also asked for orders to go to the south, but Lu Bing left him in the Shandong army for exercise.
This is also in line with Meng Xueqing's mind, Meng Xueqing is such a child, naturally doting very much, the situation in the south was uncertain at that time, and it was very dangerous to stay under his nose in Shandong. And because of Meng Xueqing's secret help, Lu Xun also established a good prestige in the army. This time, Lu Xun said goodbye, left a letter and rushed to the southeast line of Shandong to resist, and stood up in times of crisis, not only praised by others, but also very critical, after all, the guards in Shandong are much more important than other places, if there is no Lu Xun and Qi Shuhai, I am afraid that if Li Xiang can't lead the army to rescue, he will be in a predicament of no return. And such a temper seems to be more in line with Lu Bing's path. This time there is a clear distinction between public and private, and leaving after saving people also reflects the bloody nature of the Lu family.
Meng Xueqing couldn't help but smile when she thought of this, she was worthy of being Lu Bing's son, and she really had a kind. However, when it came to Lu Xun going to the south to join Lu Yi, this couldn't help but make Meng Xueqing a little worried, because this result made Lu Bing seem to Lu Xun to respect Lu Yi. This is not a good phenomenon, and the one who has made the first contribution must be called Lu Yi. Meng Xueqing sighed, silly son, I'm afraid that you are busy making wedding dresses for others, but I am afraid that my mother and I will lay down the world for others in the end of my life. But it's okay, you can just see how Lu Yi treats Lu Xun, even though Lu Yi, who is very deep in this city, may have elements of drama, but you can also take a peek at the leopard, and you can see the whole leopard at a glance. Wait and see what happens, and then go with the flow, and wait until you really want to compete for the position of the young master, and then make a move, I just hope that this day will come later, and then the Lu family is afraid that the world will be turned upside down. Meng Xueqing thought secretly, and the carriage gradually moved away. (To be continued......)
