Chapter 176: Cause of Death
"Shi Xian. ”
Cheng Miaojing glared at Lu Shikui sideways, and shouted directly: "What are you like this? Don't you put away your sad appearance for me? If someone sees it, I have to laugh at you." ”
She probably felt that Lu Shikui's appearance was too ugly, so as usual, she scolded Lu Shikui for a while.
Lu Shikui's body trembled, although he wanted to hold back the sadness in his heart, but the tears couldn't be stopped, and he kept flowing down: "But mother." Father and he have already died, do you have to reprimand me even for this?"
As soon as he thought of his father's death, Lu Shikui felt empty in his heart, as if some pillar had collapsed, and he no longer wanted to hide his true feelings in his heart, he just wanted to cry loudly.
Cheng Miaojing felt annoyed and shouted in a low voice: "You." You rebel, do you really want to disappoint your father?"
"Mother. It's not the first time I've let my father down. If this time it will disappoint his father, then let him down. Lu Shikui shook his head, looked at the spiritual position with tears in his eyes, and then knelt on the ground respectfully, as stipulated by Confucianism, three kneels and nine knocks did not have any discount at all.
Tears blurred his vision and his will.
All kinds of past memories are vivid, and my father's earnest teachings are in my ears, but every time I act, my father has an indescribable gloom.
Is it a pity?
Is it regret?
Or anger?
Lu Shikui couldn't figure it out, but he only knew that the person who had led him forward in front was gone, and he would never return to his side, and since then he has been the only one walking alone.
"Father!"
Even if it is heartbreaking, it is difficult to recover the past and everything.
At this moment, Lu Shikui just wants to immerse himself in this sadness.
Cheng Miaojing saw her child so sad, and she didn't know what she should do, so she could only watch it all quietly.
She glanced at the spiritual position, and sighed in her heart: "Husband." Did you really leave us like that?"
Although he is greedy for power and profit, Lu Wende's feelings for her are real, and he has raised many children with her, and now Lu Wende has passed away, which is really a blow to Cheng Miaojing.
"Alas. ”
A sigh came from outside the door, and Chen Wenbin stepped into the mourning hall.
He shook his head and bowed to the two: "Son, Madam, I also know that Chongguo Gong has just passed away, and the two of them are in a time of grief. But now is a critical time to resist the Yuan army's siege, and it is really not appropriate to continue to immerse yourself in the pain. ”
"Of course I do. ”
Raising his sleeves, Lu Shikui wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "It's just Mr. Chen, do you have any idea to be able to defeat the Yuan army?"
"Defeat the Yuan army?" Chen Wenbin read for a moment, then shook his head, looked at Lu Shikui with interest, and said, "Do you think it's possible?"
"That's just as well. After all, there is a shortage of materials in the city, not to mention defeating the Yuan army, but I am afraid that even if I ask Lin'an for help, it will be extremely difficult. Lu Shikui shook his head self-deprecatingly, he was also quite familiar with his own ability and the power of the Xiangyang defenders.
If there is no external force, they can only wait for death.
Chen Wenbin closed his head and replied, "That's right! But Childe, do you plan to stick to Xiangyang like this and wait until the city is ruined?"
"This. If Daddy and Uncle wanted it, it wasn't impossible. There was a hint of fear in Lu Shikui's eyes, anyone would be afraid of death, and he couldn't avoid this.
Cheng Miaojing was a little impatient when she heard this, and asked directly: "What do you want to ask here?" If you want to ask, you should ask as soon as possible, don't delay time." ”
"Mrs. Lu is really fast-talking. ”
Chen Wenbin praised: "Then I will be honest below, in fact, you also know that the situation in Xiangyang is not good, and it will be broken by the Yuan army anytime and anywhere." In that case, why should we continue to resist, why don't we go directly to the Yuan army?"
"Defect to the Yuan Army, what nonsense are you talking about?"
A little fear appeared on Lu Shikui's face, when his father Lu Wende was alive, although his temperament was not very good, he also regarded himself as a loyal servant and would never say such a thing.
As Lu Wende's trusted strategist before his death, Chen Wenbin actually said this, which really surprised the two of them.
"Nonsense?"
Chen Wenbin chuckled lightly and said, "I'm sorry, what I said is true, and I will never lie." “
"In that case, then why did you say anything about defecting to the Yuan Army? You should understand that this is what your father hated the most when he was alive. Lu Shikui opened his mouth and scolded.
"Of course I do. Chen Wenbin didn't care, his voice changed suddenly, and he asked again: "It's just the two, do you two know how Chongguo Gong died?"
"Father, isn't it the reason for the curse? Could it be that there is something else hidden?" Lu Shikui's pupils tightened suddenly, and his expression staring at Chen Wenbin slowed down slightly.
Chen Wenbin raised his head slightly and replied confidently: "Of course." ”
"Then tell me, what is the reason?" Lu Shikui asked forcefully, Cheng Miaojing also stared at Chen Wenbin with an unkind face, and if Chen Wenbin made the slightest move, he would directly scold the other party.
Chen Wenbin replied: "You should know Jia Rudao." ”
"Of course. ”
Lu Shikui closed his head slightly, although he was far away in Xiangyang, he also heard of Lin'an.
There is no way, in recent years, there have been more and more Song Dynasty scholars who have fled to Chang'an, and Xiangyang, as a transit point, is of course a necessary place for them, and it is quite difficult for him to know even if he doesn't want to.
"That's it. ”
Chen Wenbin laughed, and his words were full of sarcasm: "Najia seems to be just a splash, but he was lucky enough to get the favor of the saint, so he was promoted all the way up and became the prime minister. If Li Zong was here, he would not be too arrogant, but since the current official family ascended the throne, he has relied on the grace of the Holy Gods to start doing misdeeds. The persecution of courtiers and the suppression of dissidents are just ordinary things, and in the past, in order to seek power, Chongguo Gong also hooked up with him. ”
"I'm asking about the cause of my father's death, what are you talking about?" Lu Shikui was a little unhappy when he heard this.
He also knows a thing or two about his father's hookup with Jia Yidao, and he really doesn't want to hear these things.
Chen Wenbin replied: "Of course it is. You also know that a big event has happened right now, that is, the Yuan army has gone south. ”
"What does this have to do with Yuan Jun?" Cheng Miaojing interjected and asked, and she also accumulated some displeasure at Chen Wenbin's roundabout answer.
Chen Wenbin smiled: "Of course it has a relationship. Because the Yuan army went south, it led to the current situation in Xiangyang. In order to relieve the danger of Xiangyang, Chongguo Gong had to plead with Jia Rudao for reinforcements. But you think, that Jia seems to be able to gain a firm foothold in the court by deceiving the superiors and subordinates. If the courtiers knew that he was incapable of governing the country, how could he continue to do it? For this reason, he had no choice but to poison and secretly kill Chongguo Gong with poison. Otherwise, with Chongguo Gong Cultivation, how could he die so easily?"
These words immediately made the two of them suddenly realize, and their hearts were flooded.
"Is that so?"
In the face of Najia Rudao, Lu Shikui and Cheng Miaojing were all resentful and wanted to put the other party to death.
