Suddenly, Wei Haobi trembled a few more times.

His face turned pale and he fell to the ground.

Lu Fang was condescending and his voice was loud, but he was not afraid.

But at this moment, he felt something collapsed in his heart.

He had always regarded Emperor Qingyu as a foolish emperor, at least a mediocre emperor. Although Liang Hanmin was not a perfect emperor in his heart, he was definitely a qualified monarch.

Because in the years since Liang Hanmin ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he has personally watched the people's livelihood in Dayu gradually improve while recuperating.

But now...

He had to think about what would happen to Dayu if the border war broke out.

The imperial court has transferred countless soldiers to the frontiers, as well as countless supplies of food and grass. How much manpower and material resources have been consumed by this alone?

And if this battle really breaks out, it will take at least a year and a half, right?

By then, Dayu's public sentiment and national strength... may suddenly decline to a level far worse than they were sixteen years ago.

Could it be that... the so-called recuperation is actually just a compromise with those powerful people who take advantage of the people's wealth?

Qu Yuanzheng was also speechless next to Wei Haobi, his eyes flickering.

He and Wei Haobi are both scholars, and they consider themselves to be men of character and not afraid of death. Otherwise, they would not have been assigned to a place like Chengdu Prefecture.

They were not afraid of Lu Fang's identity as a dragon from the previous dynasty. If he was justified, they would even dare to argue with the emperor in the court and be proud of it.

But unfortunately, they were rendered speechless by Lu Fang.

They had to re-examine their concepts over the years as...

The more I think about it, the more guilty I feel.

Pain, grief and anger, self-blame, guilt and other emotions also followed one after another.

If he hadn't been so distracted by Lu Fang's words, he would have even wanted to die at this moment.

"Your Highness Seventeenth!"

"Your Highness Seventeenth!"

"..."

As Lu Fang's admiration value continued to rise, cries suddenly started to sound in the crowd.

It's those who were on their knees before.

They originally supported Emperor Qingyu, but now they couldn't help but feel sad after hearing Lu Fang's words.

I feel sad and heartbroken for the fall of Emperor Qingyu's lineage.

Probably, some of them were happy that Emperor Qingyu's lineage could still have a descendant like Lu Fang.

Lu Fang glanced at these people, let out a long breath, and said: "I have hidden these words in my heart for many years, and I finally express them out today. I never thought that my father was a fatuous emperor, only hateful, Liang Hanmin

To seize his kingdom, I still want to smear him like this. In this life, if I don’t help my brother to eliminate the traitors, I will die... and I will not be able to rest in peace."

Having said this, he suddenly bowed and bowed, "I just ask you all to give us a helping hand."

"The identities of my brother and I have been known to Liang Hanmin. Liang Shi personally suppressed the Xishan Yechuan area where we were hiding. If we cannot gain a foothold in Chengdu County, we... will really have no chance."

The crowd suddenly fell silent again.

Just a few seconds.

"I'm willing to do everything for His Highness!"

"We will follow His Highness to the death!"

"Your Highness..."

All kinds of shouts suddenly erupted, like a volcano erupting, or like a tsunami.

Even Luo Songtang, who was standing beside and behind Lu Fang, had red eyes.

As for Gao Shun and others, all of them were already moved.

They had never heard these words from Lu Fang before, and they had never thought that His Highness Seventeenth had such profound insights into the late emperor's policies.

This is something they don't have.

I couldn't help but strengthen my belief in my heart.

"Everyone, please get up..."

Lu Fang said again, then turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Luo Songtang.

His words indeed came from the bottom of his heart, but naturally there were also many deliberate purposes in them to win people's hearts.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be so impassioned.

Luo Songtang understood, took two steps forward, walked to Lu Fang's side, and said: "Everyone, now is not the time for us to cry. Right now, we should quickly gather our strength to help His Highness win the Chengdu Mansion...

…”

His face was full of solemnity, "Prince Rong Liang Shi may come back to Chengdu at any time. If we are not prepared, I'm afraid..."

Before he could finish his words, everyone's expressions had already changed.

Yes, now is not the time to lament.

How to help the two highnesses seize Chengdu Mansion as their base is the top priority.

"I'm going home right now! Call the clan members to come!"

"I'll go too!"

"..."

A group of people spoke one after another.

Most of them are like Luo Songtang, who are deeply rooted in Chengdu Prefecture and Chengdu County.

Not only do they hold high positions, but more importantly, they have families standing behind them.

It is the unity of these families that has allowed them to avoid being swallowed up by Kyoto all these years.

After Luo Songtang nodded lightly, these people hurriedly walked outside.

No one stopped them.

Neither Lu Fang nor Gao Shun cared at all that someone from the court would fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to escape.

Because the final victory or defeat of Chengdu Mansion cannot be changed by just one or two people.

Soon, only Wei Haobi, Qu Yuanzheng and a few others remained here.

Wang Hesong is also here.

But he had already stood beside Luo Songtang.

There was no sense of tension in the yard.

Wei Haobi and others were greatly affected by Lu Fang's words, and at this time they were probably still struggling in their hearts.

Old beliefs seem to collapse.

At this time, they were at a loss.

There is no time to think about how to reverse the current decline.

Perhaps, there are many people who follow Wei Haobi for fame and fortune. They don't care about Emperor Qingyu's merits and demerits at all, they only care about their own future.

But at this time, even their lives are in the hands of others. People like them naturally don't dare to make trouble.

"Bring them all to the lobby."

When no one left, Lu Fang said to Gao Shun.

He did not intend to take these people as "hostages" in the hope that Liang Shi would be able to use the enemy as a weapon.

Because this is impossible.

It was impossible for Liang Shi to take the lives of these people into his heart, even if the status of Wei Haobi and others were not low.

After all, Liang Shi was so hard-hearted that he could ignore his own daughter.

"yes."

Gao Shun agreed, and then asked people to take Wei Haobi and others to the lobby.

Lu Fang led Luo Songtang and others to the front of the lobby.

He sat down on the steps in front of the lobby and said to the experts present: "Everyone, next, we will face a real fight."

He thought clearly from beginning to end that taking down people like Wei Haobi would only be an appetizer.
