Chapter 456: Conscience

Zhong Yue came to the camp and stayed for the time being.

He went out every day to collect medicine, came back to discuss medical skills with the military doctor, and at most had a meal with Zong Xu, and then rested separately.

Such an attitude is really like what he said that day, he only talks about what he wants to say, and after saying how to choose Zongxu, he doesn't care anymore.

But because of his words, Zong Xu tossed and turned for several days, thinking back and forth about the conversation between the two.

That day, Zhong Yue asked him if he should be saved, and he replied: "This is not a question of one person or one life, but it is related to the foundation of the country and the stability of the political situation." Sixth brother, it is impossible for me to let the Zong family get involved in such a matter because of my personal feelings. ”

"So, even if he dies unjustly because of this, the eldest brother won't help?"

Zongxu was silent.

Zhong Yue said again: "Does his existence really threaten the stability of the political situation?" Big brother, ask yourself, are you afraid of political turmoil, or are you worried that the Zong family will lose her holy favor? ”

"Both have to be considered."

"Then answer separately, big brother, do you think saving him will make the political situation turbulent?"

Zong Xu was silent for a long time, and after all, he couldn't go against his will, and replied: "Prince Sihuai has been dead for many years, even if his descendants are still alive, there is no threat to the throne." Today, the Father is the Son succeeding, and it is only right to be in place. ”

"So, the eldest brother also admits that even if his identity is made public, it will not have an impact?"

Zong Xu said euphemistically: "It's just logical." Don't forget, the king of Liuyang County and the king of Qidong County are both rebellious, and no one knows what he will do when he has a name. ”

Zhong Yue shook his head and said bluntly: "How can you determine what hasn't happened yet?" This is unwarranted, big brother, 'he may do it', do you want to use such a reason to cut off his way of life? I guess that's what he thinks too, right? ”

Zong Xu has always known that his sixth brother is okay with his arguments, and he usually doesn't talk much, but when he speaks, it must make sense every word. Like now, he was dumbfounded by questions.

"The Lu of the Eater, the matter of loyalty to the King, the ancestral teachings of our clan, boil down to nothing more than these eight words. We were blessed by Emperor Taizu, so we have guarded the border for Daqi for generations. But big brother, don't forget, the glory of our clan does not lie in which emperor we are loyal to, but in our loyalty to Daqi. We fight for the sake of unity, not for someone's selfishness. ”

"Sixth brother, what you say is a quibble." Zong said, "Whoever sits in that position represents the Great Qi." ”

Zhong Yue sighed: "This question, eldest brother might as well think about it before answering." What is the basis of our clan's loyalty? I'm afraid that if you answer early, you will regret it. He paused for a moment and added, "Emperor, it's not the emperor of two years ago. ”

This is the end of the conversation for that day.

Zong Xu knew that Zhong Yue was still here, in order to wait for that answer.

It stands to reason that he could answer immediately, but the more he thought about it, the more he hesitated.

That kid, do you really want to watch him become a victim?

Born into the royal family, he had no choice. He has never done anything that hurts nature and reason, but he has fought for the country, and he has no faults.

It was at this time that he received a letter from Zong Rui.

Strictly speaking, Zong Rui wrote a war report. It simply wrote about the ambush set up that day in an attempt to capture Nasu.

However, Zongxu saw the clue from this.

It was the night bat, which took advantage of his desire to capture Nasu.

The sixth brother really didn't lie to him.

Zong Xu held the battle report, his expression was uncertain, and finally slapped his palm on the case, Huo Ran got up, and turned back and forth to vent his emotions.

He doesn't want to send troops to the steppe, he can understand. The north and south are attacked, as long as one is not good, the ship of Daqi will not be able to hold it.

He has an ambiguous attitude towards Yang Shu, and he can understand it. The identity of the first prince and the descendant makes the current monarch somewhat jealous.

Even if he sent someone to assassinate him, he could still argue for him. Now that such rumors are spreading, they are being pushed by people with intentions and deliberately stirring up the situation.

However, he asked for Yang Shu's life by such unscrupulous means, and Zong Xu could no longer understand it.

What an opportunity!

If you can take Nasu and block Sutu here, the border line of Daqi can be pushed to Liangchuan!

This line directly cut off the trade route between Beihu and Xirong, and after that, the two of them could no longer unite to make trouble, but were held by Daqi.

To put it further, if you can hold Liangchuan and choke the throat of the Hu people through this pass, you will no longer need to spend a large number of troops to defend the northwest border, so as to free up your hands and feet to conquer the south and dominate the world.

This is the beginning of unification!

Such an important matter, in his eyes, is not as good as a rumor?

Zong Xu thumped the armor on his chest, and his heart ached.

Back then, the Zong family followed Emperor Taizu to fight in the south and the north, and failed to dominate the world, which was something they never forgot until death, was it worthless in his eyes?

Zong Xu couldn't help but think of what the sixth brother said that day.

The emperor is no longer the emperor of two years ago.

He sat for a while, and finally ordered his guards: "Go and ask Doctor Zhong." ”

Zhong Yue soon came: "Big brother." ”

Zong Xu didn't say anything, and threw the battle report over.

Zhong Yue quickly finished reading it, and asked without surprise, "What does the eldest brother think?" ”

"I don't know what to think." Zong Xu said in a sullen voice, "Maybe it's right to think about nothing." ”

Zhong Yue smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Zong Xu was not happy. He's so entangled, what's so funny.

"I have one thing that can solve your problem, big brother."

"What?"

Zhong Yue took out a codex from his arms, took out a piece of paper sandwiched in it, and handed it over.

……

No one expected that the rumors would be so rapid this time.

In just half a month, the state capitals have been in an uproar.

Speaking of which, it is also the credit of the rebels on the side of Chengzhou.

They made up their minds and spared no effort to let him kill Yang Shu to avenge the Baimenxia incident.

However, acting like this is exactly what Fu Jin wants.

Let's make trouble, the bigger the trouble, the better, and the emperor has to face it.

What is Yang Shu lacking most now? Let Fu Jin say, he will answer two words, name.

He is not surnamed Jiang, he is not in the royal family, and he is not a royal person.

As long as he is not a royal person for a day, even if the prince dies, the ministers will only pass from the distant branch and will not look at him more.

Even if you want to rebel, this name is indispensable.

For example, the rebels in Chengzhou, they are the remnants of the king of Liuyang County, and their power is not very strong, just because they have such a name, they have attracted a lot of discussion from all over the world.

Even if this doesn't happen, after his wings gradually plump, Fu Jin will find a way to build momentum and let him get his identity back.

Now, they're just getting things ahead of schedule.

It's not a good time, but if you take advantage of it, you won't be able to succeed.
