Chapter 124: Lin Li Returns to His Heart
Lin Fengxiang cried: "We put life and death aside, fought the Northern Expedition, and died nine lives, but I didn't expect to end up like this!" Unjust! Unjust! ”
What Li Kaifang thought in his heart was that the king of the east wanted to treat them as rebels, could it be that he was a thief? These were things he had never dared to think about before.
The unjust death of the king of the West under the city of Changsha! Thinking of the scene of the uprising, Li Kaifang burst into tears and whispered: "We can only share hardships, not wealth and prosperity!" The king of the east is so ruthless, and the king of the west is unjustly killed! ”
Looking at their desperate looks, Li Yunzhong added fuel to the fire and added some spice to this sad atmosphere: "Although I was not good with Xiao Chaogui back then, I also admired his courage and good fighting, and he would take the lead in every battle, and treat the soldiers under his command like brothers and sisters, I would rather be injured and bleed than be killed or wounded, these are the places where I am not as good as him!"
In the first battle of Changsha, Brother Xiao was framed by the villain, and when he was dying, he thought about his subordinate brothers and persuaded me to take you in, but unfortunately he only told me, and before he could entrust you, he died. ”
If it was someone else who called the king of the west by his name, Li Kaifang and the others would have already turned their faces, but Li Yunzhong was different, the king of the west personally said to them that Li Yunzhong can fight well and win a hundred battles, I am not as good as him!
Li Kaifang added: "When His Royal Highness the King of the West was injured, he told us that he stayed in the Palace of the King of Han to serve, and was hindered by Ji Wenyuan and Lu Xianba at that time. ”
The facts were in front of him, and Lin Fengxiang had to believe that he didn't think that Li Yunzhong, who was the king of a country, would deceive them. I thought of the things that have been lingering in the past two years. Suddenly said: "No wonder the armies of the Northern Expedition are all men and horses in the West Temple, there were five armies and 30,000 people in the West Hall back then. Now there are less than 5,000 left, and there is not one in ten, we are sorry for His Royal Highness the King of the West! ”
Li Yun was happy in the center and comforted: "Yang Xiuqing is perverse, sooner or later there will be retribution, and the spirit of the West King in the sky will not let him have a good time, maybe give a dream to the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, and Yang Xiuqing will be killed." ”
Li Kaifang and Lin Fengxiang glanced at each other and nodded to each other. said in unison: "The two of us are willing to take refuge in the emperor, please accept it!" ”
The wish was fulfilled, Li Yunzhong hurriedly helped the two of them up, and promised: "Don't worry, one day, I will kill Yang Xiuqing to avenge Brother Xiao and all the dead brothers in the West Palace!" It's just that...... There are still many inspectors and commanders in our army, and they don't understand the situation, so I hope you can persuade them more. ”
Lin Fengxiang hadn't recovered from the blow yet, and said miserably: "They were all dismissed and arrested by the East King. There is nowhere to go, and he will definitely stay to serve the emperor. ”
……
Looking at Li Hongzhang, who was still stubborn, Lu Jianying began to understand a little bit why the emperor valued him so much, this person obviously had great talent and ambition in his chest. is willing to lead the neck and kill, which shows that Li Hongzhang is resolute and resolute, which is not comparable to these demoted officials.
Li Hongzhang refused to surrender. The more Lu Jianying wanted to persuade him to surrender, he actually saw the mockery in Li Hongzhang's eyes. I don't know if it's my own delusion, or if Li Hongzhang, the sesame mung bean official, is really ridiculing himself.
"Shaoquan, you are still young. The pattern is too small, you see your loyalty as a small loyalty, and you have not sublimated into a big loyalty! ”
"Dare to ask sir, what is Xiaozhong? What is Great Loyalty? "Treat Lu Jianying, Li Hongzhang is respectful, Chang Dachun was scolded by him just now, and he hid his face in shame and left.
Lu Jianying surrendered by himself, and he couldn't wait for all the scholars in the world to surrender to the Han Dynasty together, so he sorted out a set of surrender remarks, which was used on Li Hongzhang for the first time, and said calmly: "Xiaozhong is loyal to the family and surname, and Dazhong is loyal to the people of the world." ”
Li Hongzhang couldn't help but stab Lu Jianying, and said with a smile: "Sir's words are wrong, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty is the lord of the people of the world, and loyalty to the emperor is loyalty to the people of the world, why bother to divide it into big loyalty and small loyalty!" Sir, you don't need to persuade me anymore, I know that if you surrender, you can live and be rich, but I am already determined to sacrifice, and there is nothing more to say. ”
Lu Jianying was unmoved, but smiled and said: "Shaoquan's move is extremely stupid, you think that death can be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, but you don't know that this move will make you bear the charge of traitor, and you will never be freed." ”
Li Hongzhang exclaimed: "Ridiculous, I am loyal to the emperor, how can I be a traitor?" I deserve to be remembered in history. ”
Lu Jianying asked: "You and I have been officials in the Qing Dynasty for decades, and you don't know as clearly as I do about the affairs of the officialdom, and I don't have such a thorough understanding of the situation among the people, do you think the Qing Dynasty can still be saved?" The Han Dynasty won every battle, this is a record that the people's army and the righteous army have never had in previous dynasties, even Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang have also fought several defeats, so it can be inferred that sooner or later the Han will unify the world one day! ”
Li Hongzhang lacked confidence and argued: "Even if the Han Dynasty dominates the world, he will not deny what a loyal minister does, but should praise me." ”
Lu Jianying smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If this is the case, I will not descend, the emperor has ordered people to build a 'traitor monument' in Yuhuatai, Nanjing, all the officials who worked for the Qing army, all the officials on the monument are famous, and the above is extremely insulting, the emperor said when he erected the monument, the Han Dynasty exists for a day, this monument will not move for a day, so it seems that I am afraid that Shaoquan not only can not be immortal, but will leave a stench for 10,000 years, I heard that Zeng Guofan ranked first, has been engraved on it, so far I have not had the courage to go to see it." ”
Li Hongzhang was furious: "What does Li Thief mean by this? Mr. Zeng served the country loyally and suppressed anti-thieves. What's wrong with that? ”
Lu Jianying said: "Shaoquan, let's come down!" The emperor values you very much, saying that you are a general figure who is high in the left season, you have to cherish it! ”
Li Hongzhang asked, "Zuo Jigao?" It was the student that Lin Gong accepted in Hunan, and he also dropped! ”
Lu Jianying showed an envious expression: "Ji Gao is now the general of the expedition to the south, and the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, controlling the military and political affairs of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong. ”
Li Hongzhang was envious and surprised, Zuo Zongtang is a man who knows the way, he has raised a person, he has not touched the trick after taking the Jinshi exam for half his life, compared to his twenty-four-year-old Jinshi's record is far worse, he has been the object of ridicule, but he didn't expect that feng shui took turns, and a person actually became a feudal official, and also controlled the military and political affairs of the three provinces!
Li Hongzhang said sourly and sarcastically, "There is no general in Shu, Liao has become a pioneer, and Zuo Zongtang has raised a person to be a very human minister...... I really want to add a sentence at the end: If he is Li, he is almost the same. (To be continued......)
