The people of Dunyi County were in an uproar, originally they thought that there was Zhang Yi to intercede before, and there would be a turn for the better, but they didn't expect to wait for a long time, but what they waited for was such a result.

Zhang Yizhi hung his head and watched the autumn grain being pulled away by the soldiers in batches, but he never raised his head, and he didn't return to his residence in a daze until the second half of the night.

Early in the morning, when the sun was rising, he had already secretly packed up his salute, pressed all the silver tickets on his body under the pillow, and turned around and went out.

Lu Gong didn't know what was going on, and saw him get into the carriage and leave Zhangzi Lane, only then did he fall behind him.

After a sleepless night, Zhang Yizhi's face was full of sadness, and his eyes were so red and swollen that he could barely open them.

Feeling that Lu Gong was behind him, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to it, and walked with a whip, and in a moment he was already out of Dunyi.

At this time, Lu Gong suddenly felt a faint fluctuation of airflow, looked intently in the direction of Dunyi, and found two shadows, one white and one green, quickly skimming across the field.

He knew that Granny Qiu and Yun Rong must have followed.

The carriage galloped forward, this line was two hundred miles away, until it reached the post station, and replaced it with new horses, Zhang Yizhi finally couldn't stand it, and went upstairs and fell asleep.

The next day, he seemed to have recovered a little, and when he got up, he saw Lu Gong staying on the table in the inn, and he was a little apologetic.

"Lu Gong, I'm really bothering you." As he spoke, he had already put on his clothes and held the package in his arms.

"Elder Zhang, although I know what happened, if you continue like this, you won't be able to hold on to Kyoto!" Lu Gong told the truth.

Since the last time he was in the south of the city and couldn't seize that opportunity, Lu Gong had already felt that Zhang Yizhi's spirit was rapidly weakening, like a lone lamp that was about to run out of oil and water, swaying in the dark night.

Zhang Yizhi pushed the door and walked out, and said in a deep voice: "I know, but I can't sit idly by." ”

Lu Gong saw him quickly go downstairs, board the carriage, float to him, and directly pressed the reins on his hand.

Zhang Yizhi was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Lu Gong to interfere with his actions.

"Elder Zhang, I know your eagerness to return to Beijing, but if you don't get there, what's the point of this trip? I don't want to interfere with your actions, but I want you to understand that haste is not enough. Lu Gong said softly.

When Zhang Yizhi heard this, a touch of helplessness flashed on his face, but he also realized that what Lu Gong said was reasonable, and nodded: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

Lu Gong felt a little relieved, let go of the reins, and returned to the carriage.

The carriage continued. Lu Gong felt that Zhang Yizhi's mood had stabilized a little, so he asked, "Elder Zhang, can you tell me why you are suddenly in such a hurry to return to Beijing?" ”

From Granny Qiu's mouth, Lu Gong already knew that this trip back to Beijing was a fatal situation for Zhang Yizhi.

The only variable is where you die.

The Heavenly Master's Mansion, including Granny Qiu, seemed to be trying their best to find a way to allow him to return to Kyoto smoothly.

On the other hand, the one in the palace was very reluctant for him to appear in Kyoto again.

Since it is a certain death, why can't you stay in Dunyi?

Lu Gong was puzzled, but he also knew that he had no right to interfere with Zhang Yizhi's decision, especially after the Qinglu incident, he gradually realized that many things were not as simple as he saw on the surface.

Zhang Yizhi did not directly answer Lu Gong's question, but let out a sigh of relief. "I thought that if I took a step back, Your Majesty could also take a step back, but who knew that my cowardice was exchanged for him being more unscrupulous."

"Just because of the taxation in Dunyi County?" Lu Gong asked.

Zhang Yizhi nodded: "As the old saying goes, you know autumn from a leaf." The matter of taxation is only a result. The emergence of this result means that we, the old guys, have completely lost. ”

"The younger generation still hasn't understood." Lu Gong said truthfully. For officialdom, he is indeed a little white.

Zhang Yizhi seemed to want to laugh, but he couldn't laugh, and finally turned into a sigh, but he still patiently explained: "The matter of taxation has been proposed by His Majesty as early as the beginning of spring, but at that time, no one in the Manchu Dynasty except for us old guys objected. ”

"For more than half a year, I have been trying my best to prevent this matter, and I have also made a lot of arrangements in the court, including several capable students, as well as the supervisor and the master, who are on my side. After this drought incident, I thought that if I could give up my position as His Majesty wished, then I could at least delay the implementation of the new policy for three years, but I didn't expect that Your Majesty would not miss the old feelings at all. ”

"If the people of the Hua Dynasty can have three years of recuperation, even if His Majesty still insists on going his own way, at least he can endure it. But now, regardless of the suffering of the world, he wants to be the emperor of the ages, even if he succeeds, what can he do? ”

"The tens of thousands of people of the Chinese Dynasty will be devastated. How many children want to be orphans without fathers and mothers like Longevity? ”

Lu Gong listened, and his heart was not good, but he could be regarded as grasping the key point.

"You're saying that the old ministers who stayed in Kyoto are in trouble?"

"You're so smart!" A flash of appreciation flashed in Zhang Yizhi's eyes, and he nodded: "That's right!" The implementation of the new policy means that the old ministers of the DPRK and China have all lost power. If His Majesty is allowed to do such nonsense, the entire officialdom of the Chinese Dynasty will be controlled by the Zhu family. At that time, the Chinese Dynasty will be doomed. ”

"So, while my old bones are still there, I must bring His Majesty to his senses."

"If the skin does not have hair, will it be attached? If the people of the world cannot live and work in peace and contentment, even if the territory is large, what is the use? ”

Feeling Zhang Yizhi's determination, Lu Gong was extremely impressed in his heart.

is a very popular minister, even after returning to his hometown, he still cares about Li Min, such a mind, Lu Gong thinks he can't do it.

"Is Elder Zhang sure?" Lu Gong asked.

Zhang Yizhi shook his head: "Your Majesty is no longer the Majesty of the past." I'm not sure at all. ”

"Then why can't you stay in Dunyi and find another opportunity?" Lu Gong asked. He knew that if he went back at this time, there might be a turning point.

Zhang Yizhi suddenly laughed. "Opportunity? If you exchange the lives of millions of living beings in the world for a few years of surviving, are you willing? ”

Lü Gong found himself unable to answer this question.

The carriage continued to gallop without incident for two days. Lu Gong has always been thinking about Granny Qiu's earlier entrustment, and he knows that along the way, the remaining two mountains of Zhengyi Alliance will have to make a move after all.

Just, how are they going to do it? Who will come?

Knowing the enemy he was going to face, Lu Gong had no confidence in his heart.

Knowing that on the third day after departure, Zhang Yizhi walked on a mountain road for a whole day, and still could not leave the mountain road, Lu Gong realized that in fact, the other party had already made a move.
