Chapter 167: Mobilization
After Zhou Jing returned to her room, she hadn't sat down for a while, thinking back to the moment when the two of them looked at each other just now, she saw the girl Qin'er next to her mother Ming hurriedly came and said to her, "Girl, where did you go just now?" I've been looking for you! ”
"Looking for me? What's up? She was a little confused.
It's rare that Qin'er has ever been so eager to find herself.
"Madame asked me to come to you, you go and see. She and the old man are arguing. ”
Zhou Jingxin said, what happened?
In her memory, her parents have always respected each other and rarely quarreled.
She hurried to her mother's room, and saw her father also standing in the room, walking with his hands in his hands, his face full of solemnity. The mother, on the other hand, looked anxious.
I heard my mother say to my father angrily: "Even if their family is really burned by the emperor, how can you ignore the safety of your own clan?" How many troops does the emperor have? How many do you have? Do you really think you can succeed in your rebellion? Do you know what it means to not succeed! ”
The father replied to his mother in a loud voice: "If you are born as a dignified man, you should live to stand up to the sky." Otherwise, what's the difference with a bear? Don't you also say that if I ignore my brother's grievances, I will be called a bear by the world? ”
"Is your face so important? Risking the lives of a family? ”
Zhou Jing hurriedly asked: "Father and mother, don't make any noise, what's going on?" Although she had vaguely guessed something from their words. But she wanted them to tell her the truth.
Ming glanced up at her and sighed, "Your father is ......, alas, he only thinks about avenging his brother now, but he doesn't care about the safety of himself and our family. Join me in persuading him. ”
Zhou Peng said: "Jing'er, you just came, I will tell you the truth of the matter now, you come to see which one is the father or your mother." ”
As he spoke, he told her exactly what had happened in the past few days since Zheng Hangsu came, as well as what had happened before Zheng Hangsu dictated to him.
At the end, he asked: "Jing'er, you say, do you want to be a shrunken turtle who is ridiculed by the world?" I can't afford to lose that man for my father! ”
Only then did Zhou Jing know the true purpose of Zheng Hangsu's visit, and she had been wondering why he had traveled thousands of miles to pull the bones of his father and stepmother here.
She looked at her mother and said, "Mother, I think my father did the right thing. The most difficult thing in the world is the word "righteousness". Uncle Zheng once achieved "righteousness" to his father, and the entire Dali knew that he personally led the troops to save his father back then, and he himself even almost died, but now he encountered injustice, but his father couldn't do the word "righteousness", so how do people in the world view his father? Where will my father's prestige stand up in the future? ”
Ming said angrily: "You father and daughter are crazy, crazy!" ”
She really doesn't want a good home, and then she will have to live the pain of being displaced, besides, swords and arrows don't have eyes.
Zhou Peng said: "Look, my daughter can see it better than you!" ”
Ming said: "Then let it be as you please." Knowing that he couldn't persuade him this time, his words were full of helplessness.
And since it had been decided to raise the flag to rebel, Zhou Peng immediately summoned several of his generals and held a mobilization meeting for rebellion in the conference room next to the east city wall.
At the meeting, he first scolded the emperor for a bloody squirt, and then praised Zheng Jin, claiming that Zheng Jin was the kindest person he had ever met.
He also warned everyone that in Dali, no one should think about making a career by making contributions, and whoever comes out will become a thorn in the emperor's side.
At the end, all the generals present were enthusiastic, claiming that they would definitely follow him to crusade against the emperor.
The generals here are actually not stupid in their hearts, they don't care who is right and wrong here, what they think about is that they are guarding a Chen Zhou here, and there will be no future, but if they follow Zhou Peng to rebel, maybe they can still be a founding hero, and they will be glorious from now on.
In their opinion, the risk is worth taking.
.
The impassioned meeting in the council room soon spread to all the soldiers in the eastern part of the city, as well as to the ears of everyone in the palace of King Pingkang.
was interspersed with the eyeliner in Zhou Peng's mansion by the emperor, a guy named Guo Zhen, after hearing that Zhou Peng was about to rebel, he hurriedly borrowed the opportunity to buy vegetables in the east of the city, went to the west of the city, and found the eyeliner of Yang Liu, another person who was connected with him and pretended to sell baked cakes in the west of the city, and told him that Zhou Peng was about to raise the flag to rebel, and asked him to go to the capital to report to the emperor quickly.
Yang Liu hurriedly closed the baked cake shop and hurried to the capital.
