This person is not an outsider, it is Xia Yan, the former first assistant minister of the Ming Dynasty, this man who has known Lu Bing for a long time, has a relationship of friends and enemies, and wants to change the Ming Dynasty together but has no power to return to the sky. Xia Yanchang is very good-looking, even if he stands with Lu Bing, he is a beautiful man. It is precisely because of his dignified appearance that he can be valued, so he met Lu Bing, and later Lu Bing said two beautiful words, and Xia Yan ascended to a high position. Since then, this upright man, who does not form a party or engage in personal interests, is upright and upright, and even some men who have just passed have risen to prominence, and finally ascended to the position of first assistant.

Under the cabinet system, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty is simply a high authority, one person is above 10,000 people, and the cabinet of the general manager manages six ministries, and the emperor still has the right to dismiss. It's just that Zhu Houxi is authoritarian and his temperament is unstable, so the so-called right of rejection is generally not used. Yang Tinghe used it, but it was down, Yang Yiqing is old fritter naturally won't use it, although Xia Yan is upright, but he is not stupid, he naturally won't do it against the emperor. He understood that if he went down himself, Da Ming would really be hopeless.

Because of Zhu Houxi, the authority of the first assistant is limited, but it is still a supreme position, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the position of the first assistant. In recent years, Chen Hong and Xia Yan have cooperated well, Chen Hong mainly focuses on clean government, intelligence and military affairs, while Xia Yan is related to people's livelihood. The Ming Dynasty has been rotten from top to bottom, so the spark can start a prairie fire, and uprisings and rebellions have emerged one after another over the years. Once it burns, it will be out of control, and if it is not for Xia Yan's diligence and hard work in the past few years, as well as all aspects of maneuvering, I am afraid that the demise of the Ming Dynasty will be one step earlier. But. During the Wanshou Festival, Xia Yan also had a deep conversation with Lu Bing, but no one expected that after the Wanshou Festival, it would be the time when Zhu Houxi and Lu Bing turned against each other.

Xia Yan looked a little decadent, but he still maintained the dignity he deserved. Hearing Lu Bing's words, he smiled coldly and said, "Lord Lu." It's been a long time. ”

This is obviously to give Lu Bing eye medicine, Lu Bing has already captured the capital, even if he has not yet ascended the throne and become the emperor, he is no longer an official of the Ming Dynasty, and he is only afraid that something is wrong with Lord Lu. It's like saying bluntly, hello, anti-thief Lu Bing. You've finally gone from a rebellion of a minister to a king.

The sound of Lord Lu made the atmosphere in the room tense up instantly.

"It's not necessary at all, Lord Xia. This kind of fast tongue is meaningless, if you are willing to say it, Lu can afford it even more ugly. Lu Bing said with a smile: "It's not that you don't know me, how can I, Lu Bing, care so much about my name." Anyway, Lu Bing is still Lu Bing. Whatever you call me, you know it's me. Now that I've come to this point, you should understand what's going on, don't tell me about stupidity, loyalty and filial piety, I'm not that kind of person, you know. ”

Several other ministers in the room calmed down when they heard this, Lu Bing's violent temper is famous all over the world, they are not afraid of death, they are afraid that Xia Yan will annoy Lu Bing, and Lu Bing will overturn a boatload of people with a rod. They are better off than dead.

"I understand, but I'm a courtier of the Ming Dynasty. You also understand that I am only flexible in policy, and do not make a fuss about loyalty and principle. Xia Yan said: "Lu Bing, if you are here to persuade you to surrender, then don't take the trouble to reminisce, if you want to reminisce about the past, then Xia Yan will not accompany you, and loyalty and thief will not be separated." ”

Lu Bing nodded and said: "I know you, and I also know all the brothers present, not only because we are officials in the same dynasty, but also because I used to be in charge of the Jinyi Guard, how can Daming's every move escape from my eyes." I know that you are all loyal ministers, and I fear that if you surrender to me, I will be infamous for the ages. But think about it, now am I doing it wrong, or is Zhu Houxi doing it wrong? I, Lu Bing, am a martial artist, but I also read poetry and books and passed the imperial examination, and my grades are wrong. Wherever our Lu Jiajun went, he never closed his house at night, and the people welcomed him with food pot pulp, and we would rather sleep on the streets and lie down in clothes than disturb the people. Under my rule, you have all seen how Shandong has become. I think the people's heart is the most important thing, there are tens of thousands of mansions, and the poor people in the world are happy, if Zhu Houxi can make the people of the world live a life of peace and security, I, Lu Bing, would rather die. It's a pity that he can't, of course, you may think that I am playing tricks on my mind, but I, Lu Bingke, swear to the sky, I don't want to take over the world, a Shandong has made me busy. I am open-minded by nature, I don't like to be constrained, I like to be happy. The days when I developed in Dengzhou Mansion were the most comfortable days for me, and maybe that was the life I wanted. Now, that's not the kind I want. ”

"Then Lu Wenfu, what do you mean? A lesson to the saints? Or take the place after Zen in the world? Xia Yan led the way again, and everyone nodded in agreement, it seemed that they all interpreted the meaning just now from Lu Bing's words.

Lu Bing shook his head: "I am also a person, and I am also a man, I want to try the feeling of dominating the world, maybe one day I will choose a son to inherit when I am tired of the position of the emperor, maybe not, I really conceded, or maybe I will return the government to the people." A qiē is actually not that complicated, you all think too much, it's better to go with the flow, I was just chatting just now. Take one step at a time, maybe everything has changed at that time. In fact, I want to say that a Shandong has made me a little tired, and it takes too much energy to really make decisions for the people so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Lu is not talented, it is difficult to take on this great responsibility, and you are all the pillars of the country, and you have the ability to govern the country and the world. Lu is a good hand at fighting, and it is not bad to come up with an idea, but when it comes to administrative issues, it depends on your efforts. Maybe in your eyes, Lu is just a thief, or maybe you will suffer from the world's incomprehension if you follow Lu to build the world together. But I think that the truth can never be erased, and time will always prove it, revealing all the naked and false essence to the world. The Ming Dynasty has decayed, Lu can't bear the people to suffer anymore, I am not a benevolent person, but I want to help the world at the same time, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. You are not for Lu, not for your own so-called loyalty, for the people of the world, please help Lu. Isn't it the original intention of our officials to let the people live a good life? ”

Lu Bing stood up as he spoke, clasped his fists and bowed to the end: "Lu Mou thanked him, and asked you to help my country to be safe as soon as possible for the people of the world." ”

Although these ministers are clever and smart, they have been educated to kill themselves and serve the country since they were children, if Lu Bing coerces and lures, maybe they will be righteous and Ling Ran would rather die than surrender, and even scold Lu Bing. But Lu Bing found a righteous word that was greater than the monarch's power and put it here to talk about things, and they were in a dilemma for a while. Lu Bing is a kind-hearted person, and everything he says is also from the bottom of his heart, and these old fritters who know people and things can naturally see it, and they also understand that what Lu Bing said is true.

Xu Jie is the only official who has not entered the cabinet and has an official position of less than three ranks, and he is also the youngest, which makes everyone a little puzzled, but he was also invited here. At this time, he spoke: "Duke Lu, if we all surrender to you, what is the matter of the world's loyalty to the king and the country, and the government established by an unrighteous country, can the people understand the meaning of the righteous word?" Where should the justice of the world be? We are traitors, so how can we serve the people? If you can't convince the public, how can what you just said be true? Xu Jie's call was very polite and smart, he didn't choose the more radical Lord Lu, nor did he call his name Lu Bing or Lu Wenfu, he just said Lu Gong with a little awe, don't look at it as a small title, but it shows Xu Jie's incomparable talent.

"Hahahaha," Lu Bing laughed and said, "Xu Jie, you really think comprehensively, that's why I called you here." The size of your talent has nothing to do with age, you are a talented person worthy of being reused, you said well, but I think the righteousness is in the hearts of people, and the right things in the hearts of people are the righteousness. What the people want is very simple, it is right to live a good life and be rich. As for the issue of convincing the public, I will consider it, and I am not talking to you this time so that you can be used by me immediately, but to let you think about it and let me think about it. After I destroy the Ming Dynasty, let's discuss it again. If you are willing to follow me and build a Datong society, we will work together and leave a name in history. If you don't want to, then it doesn't matter, you are all talents, and I naturally won't give you to Zhu Houxi to cause trouble for yourself. But I will never embarrass you, force you, you just stay under my nose and be a teacher or a rich man. ”

Lu Bing's work is really atmospheric, what to say, he didn't hide it at all, he said everything he was worried about and thought, in the face of this room of smart people, often this kind of big truth is the most effective. After Lu Bing finished speaking, he stood up, clasped his fists again, bowed in a square and said, "Everyone, please, please don't reject Lu immediately, think about it and give me an answer." Lu is still busy with some things, and he will come back. ”

Everyone also got up and saluted, only Xia Yan looked at the ground in a daze, and did not return the salute thoughtfully, Lu Bingyang walked away. Everyone looked at Xia Yan, under the first assistant system, everything was headed by the first assistant, and everyone was waiting for Xia Yan to give him a proposal. Xia Yan sighed and said: "Although we are not a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Bing is indeed a Ming monarch and a master, and my brain is also messed up, you can consider it yourself." I think that if Lu Bing can seize the world, whether we obey or not, he will not tamper with history, because he is not wrong, so there is no need to tamper with it. Holy Lord, my Holy Lord, why can't you be half as good as Lu Bing, my Da Ming, how did you get to this point! ”

Xia Yan let out a sad sigh, didn't take a breath and held it in his throat, and instantly a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then fainted. Everyone panicked and hurriedly called for the guards to ask for a royal doctor. (To be continued......)
