Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Concubine Is Not as Good as a Wife

Lu Bing returned to the palace to resume his life, and said that the Shen family's decision was like this, Zhu Houxi listened to it and was really anxious, and scolded in his mouth: "Damn, one is worse than the other, the Shen family has withdrawn its funds, this year there are many natural disasters and diseases are rampant, not only can the tax not be collected, but also the money in the treasury must be used to relieve the disaster." After I ascended the throne, the political situation has not yet developed, and I have been hit hard financially, and I wanted to use the Shen family's money to survive smoothly, but this group of villains who forgot their interests and righteousness actually withdrew their funds and went to the damn, so I sent troops to encircle and suppress the Shen family. The world is not the king's land, no matter how much they can dig holes, they can't hide from the restoration of the sky net, and they have to dig three feet into the ground to find them out. ”

"Don't you think so?" Lu Bing said, Zhu Houxi squinted at Lu Bing and said, "Hmph, tell me what you think, talk about it quickly." ”

"The minister thought that with such kung fu, it was better to conquer the Japanese invaders. The saint destroyed the Shen family, they will definitely transfer the money, the wealth of the Shen family cannot be completely obtained at all, this matter is a lesson from the past, the ancestor of the Shen family, Shen Sen, naturally understands the matter, and the minister will not say more. Moreover, in this way, there is no continuous acquisition of fine water, and the Shen family's ability to accumulate wealth should indeed not be underestimated. If we douse them, all we get is some leftovers, and we will lose both of them after getting the worst, we will spend our troops, and the Shen family will also have a grudge against us, what is this called? This is called a bamboo basket to draw water. It is also a dispatch of troops, but sending troops to recruit the Japanese is different, it is the behavior of a national hero, which not only strikes at foreign enemies, but also protects our Ming people from being harassed by the Japanese invaders, and what are you waiting for if you don't do it? We can take the opportunity to rescue Shen Yew and the Shen family to rebuild themselves, help His Majesty to overcome the financial difficulties, and even raise the prestige of our country to relieve the Ming bandits, so that the people's hearts are supported and praised by the people, this is the best policy. Lu Bing said.

Zhu Houxi frowned slightly and said: "What you said I don't know, although it was angry to say that the Shen family was destroyed just now, but if you really want to destroy it, it is nothing more than an action in my Ming territory, no matter how powerful the Shen family is, it can't make much waves." But the war with the Japanese is different, even if the Japanese invaders are in civil strife now, maybe they will unite to resist our army at that time, and all the people will be soldiers and our Ming Dynasty is the enemy, and it will be a war between countries. The time it takes, the cost is huge, and the number of casualties is not something that you and I can estimate while sitting here. In fact, in the final analysis, the main reason is that although the military power is in my hands on the surface, it cannot be transferred at will, this is not a war to protect the territory, but a foreign war, not to mention that the economy is not rich now, it is really a little unable to make ends meet, where is the money to fight. Emperor Taizu Gao left an ancestral teaching, and Dongying is an indisputable place, which will also become an aspect of the courtiers' attack on me. No, I can't let Yang Ting and them grab any more of my handles. ”

Lu Bing replied: "Your Majesty, let me say something, this time if you can enslave Japan, you will enslave them, and if you can exterminate the race, you will exterminate them. Hundreds of years later, this group of short-legged Japanese people will definitely deceive our China and plunge our China into dire straits, so it is better to destroy them to prevent future troubles. ”

Lu Bing has made his own decision, even if he disturbs normal history, he will provoke this war and destroy Little Japan, and Lu Bing is willing to bear any consequences. However, this is not an angry impulse, but a deliberate one, whether it is in the face of Japan's current chaotic civil war situation, the impoverished economy, and the very small population and backward weapons, it is a signal that it is time to attack, and the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, and it will become the next strategy to fight after the other side is strong.

Seeing that Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi was slightly suspicious, Lu Bing said: "I can discuss with the Shen family, and when the time comes, I can take the money out and let them build the warship." ”

Zhu Houxi suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Lu Bing, Lu Bing, I'm afraid that you have already secretly discussed it with the Shen family, do you think I don't know about your hiding troops in the suburbs of Beijing?" You have long wanted to save people, you think that I only sent a letter of reprimand, and there is no actual action, so you can't wait to try your best to save Yang Feiyan and Xia Dade. This time, I just took advantage of the Shen family's affairs to induce me to send troops, and I could achieve my goal, yes or no? ”

"Yes." Lu Bing said frankly, and then said in a paused voice: "The emperor doesn't have to speculate on my thoughts, even if the saint doesn't send troops, I will fight alone, and I must rescue my second brother and Feiyan." ”

"You are so bold, do you know that Lu Dao arbitrarily formed an army without declaration and regarded it as complicity? Do you know what kind of place this is? Beijing, you formed an army near the capital, if you weren't Lu Bing, I would have suspected that you had rebelled and beheaded you. Zhu Houxi raised his voice, and then nodded Lu Bingdao: "I still have to consider whether I send troops or not, but you can't keep those soldiers, and if you stay, they will be convinced, so let them disperse." ”

"The most important thing is that it will make the saint feel uneasy, how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch, ha Lu Bing said with a smile, he has been with Zhu Houxi for so long, and he knows his temper and personality better, and Lu Bing can see at a glance what he thinks. I saw Lu Bing take off his waist card, take off his official uniform, and even take off his official boots, and then hugged his fists and said: "Since you don't trust me, then the fate between us is over, I am leaving, I hope you will cherish it." Lu Bing didn't call Zhu Houxi a saint or anything, but used the most straightforward words you and me. After Lu Bing finished speaking, he turned around, but waved his hand at Zhu Houxi, who was stunned there, and never looked back.

Zhu Houxi is stupid there, this is the way of the king, and there must be a trade-off. Lu Bing is now gaining momentum, although Lu Bing's official position is lowly and he does not have much real power, and he should be in power as much as possible, so he can't be suppressed, but he should be scared and scared, don't let him swell in the future.

How did he know that Lu Bing turned around and left instead of showing his loyalty in fear, Zhu Houxi couldn't help but think, could it be that he was wrong? Zhu Houxi thought for a long time and scolded: "Yang Tinghe, Lu Bing, you two will resign at every turn, damn, in the end, are you the emperor or I am the emperor." ”

—————————————————————————————————————

Lu Bing's appearance of going home startled Meng Xueqing, and at the same time surprised Lu Song, who went back at about the same time, and hurriedly asked, "Bing'er, what's the matter with you, where are your clothes and boots?" ”

Lu Bing smiled: "Take it off." ”

"Where's it off?" Lu Song asked.

Lu Bing pointed in the direction of the palace and said, "Throw it in the Fengtian Palace, I won't wait, Zhu Houxi likes to play whatever he likes." ”

"Bing'er, why are you childish again, now he is not the king of Xing, but the emperor, if you act like this, if the saint is annoyed, our family will be beheaded all over the house, no matter how deep the friendship is, even if you regret it after the beheading, it will be too late." Lu Song said urgently.

Lu Bing waved his hand and said: "Father is too worried, according to my opinion, the Holy Lord will announce me into the palace in less than three hours, not only because of feelings, but also because the Holy Lord is a smart person, and he knows that I am very useful at this moment." ”

Lu Song looked at his son Lu Bing, although this was arrogant, but it was true, according to Lu Song's private investigation, he learned some clues, such as Yang Tinghe and the Shen family, all of whom were somewhat involved with Lu Bing, in short, although it was okay to leave Lu Bing at this moment, it would make the situation more troublesome and confusing. Lu Song sighed and said, "Anyway, you can do it yourself, don't take yourself too seriously." He shook his head and walked away.

Lu Bing and Meng Xueqing talked for a while, and then went to visit their mother together, the child in the mother's womb has been born, and the two children born in succession have naturally made Lu's mother have a lot of experience, and as an "older mother", she is even more careful, so she can be regarded as experienced, and she will teach Meng Xueqing "experience" without anything.

The two chatted just after they met, and Lu Bingxian was bored and went to the courtyard to tease his younger brother, at this time his younger brother Lu Wei had learned to walk, and was toddler in the courtyard accompanied by the maid and the wet nurse.

"You're back." A soft voice sounded behind Lu Bing, Lu Bing looked back, and saw that it was his concubine Xiaorui, who was holding Lu Bing's sister Lu Ran in her arms. Lu Bing smiled and said, "Well, are you okay?" ”

Xiaorui nodded, and then stopped thinking for a long time before she whispered, "Have you seen your mother?" ”

"I've seen it, I just came out of my mother's house, Xue Qing is talking to my mother over there, I'm usually busy, Xue Qing is pregnant, it's inconvenient to take care of my mother. Although our family has someone to call, but after all, it is not as intimate as my own family, I heard my mother say that you have been serving your mother these days, and you have worked hard Xiaorui. Lu Bing said and took over his sister.

As soon as her sister Lu Ran arrived in Lu Bing's arms, she began to cry, Xiaorui hurriedly stepped forward to teach Lu Bing how to hold the child, watching Lu Bing, who was usually powerful but flexible, clumsy in front of the child, and finally learned to coax the child, and it took half a day to amuse Lu Ran.

Xiao Rui couldn't help laughing, and a hint of rosy appeared on her slightly pale face. Lu Bing's heart moved, and he consciously treated Xiaorui a little too much on weekdays, not only did he say little to her, but he didn't even have a room to this day, last time he was driven to Xiaorui's room by Meng Xueqing, but Lu Bing was exhausted and washed and fell asleep.

The first girl Lu Bing met after crossing was Xiaorui, Xiaorui at that time was gentle but a little delicate, sunny but shy, so charming, but as the gap between the two became bigger and bigger, Xiaorui slowly became indifferent and pale, like a colorless and lifeless paper flower. The more this is the case, the more cold Lu Bing is to Xiaorui, and in the long run, Lu Bing will feel very embarrassed if the two stay together for a long time, and the atmosphere is as if it is going to be suffocating.

The flush on Xiao Rui's face at this time reminded Lu Bing of her before, and she couldn't help but be stunned, and after reflection, she found that she was indeed a little bad for Xiao Rui, so she beckoned her subordinates to take Lu Ran away, reached out and stroked Xiao Rui's hanging strand of hair to put her back neatly and said: "Xiao Rui, I'm sorry, I will accompany you more when I have time in the future." ”

Xiaorui opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't say anything, at this moment her heart was very excited, Lu Bing, her husband finally understood that she wanted to accompany herself more, this seemingly normal thing seemed to Xiaorui to be like a gift from God. Lu Bing broke the law that a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a stealing man, at least the relationship between him and Xiaorui and Meng Xueqing is like this, Lu Bing has never looked at his concubine squarely. Now I want to regain my light, thank God.

"What are you kid doing, I don't know how to practice for me when I come back, and the medicine that Lao Tzu blends for you on weekdays is fed to the dog?" Wan Er Wan jumped hysterically and shouted. Lu Bing looked back with a sad face and said, "Yes, yes, yes." ”

Lu Bing followed Wan Erwan away, leaving Xiao Rui who was empty in her heart, Xiao Rui could only sigh and walked towards Lu Mu's house, and before she entered the house, she heard the sound of Lu Mu and Meng Xueqing talking and laughing. Lu Mu Fan's voice sounded so happy, he had been serving Lu Mu for so long, and he had never heard such a happy laugh, Xiao Rui bit her lip and her eyes were slightly red, and she let out a long sigh before turning away.
