Chapter 1178: Dealing with Lu Tingfang
Lu Tingfang was silent for a moment and said, "What about you? Where is Dai'er?"
In fact, Lu Tingfang still has a hidden sentence, where is he, Lu Tingfang?
In fact, if something happened to Luo Xin, Lu Tingfang would only be implicated at a very small amount. But Lu Rudai would definitely be considered guilty.
Luo Xin shook his head and said, "Dai'er and Yu'er cannot leave me, as they will be suspected by the court. However, I have arrangements and have a high chance of escaping from the capital."
"Did you rely on your father?"
Luo Xin remained silent. Lu Tingfang also fell silent and said for a while: "If Your Majesty wants to target you, it seems that you will not surrender?"
A trace of anger arose in Luo Xin's heart. Why should I surrender? Another helplessness arose in my heart. Cheng Zhu Neo-science really poisoned these scholars. They were completely unable to communicate. They took a deep breath and said:
"Father-in-law, why should I surrender? Just because he is the emperor?"
Lu Tingfang frowned and said, "This is the way for the king and the minister."
"The way of the king and the ministers." Luo Xin couldn't help but swear, "If everyone in the world follows the way of the king and the ministers, the Qin Dynasty would not perish. Where did the dynasty change come from?"
Lu Tingfang's face turned pale, his lips trembled and said, "You, you... are you thinking of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty and replacing it?"
"I don't think so!" Luo Xin shook his head depressedly, "If I think so, I wouldn't fight in the east and suffocate the country for the Ming Dynasty. However, the Ming Dynasty belongs to the people of the world, not to his Lao Zhu family. So I am loyal to the old Zhu family, but to the people of the world. If it were not for the people to avoid military chaos, it would be impossible to overthrow the Lao Zhu family."
"You, you..." Lu Tingfang stretched out his hand and pointed at Luo Xin and said, "You... are a big rebellion."
"If a king treats his ministers as his hands and feet, then his ministers regard him as his confidant; if a king treats his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers regard him as his countrymen; if a king treats his ministers as earth, then his ministers regard him as enemies."
Lu Tingfang suddenly became old and put down his trembling hands. After a while, his expression was filled with worry:
"Without a weapon, how can you be enemies with the entire country? Since you have thought of the great achievements of the master, why should you? It's not good to hide your light and be with the light?"
Luo Xin also sighed and said, "Father-in-law, when the Altan Khan soldiers came to Datong, the 200,000 troops were only in the blink of an eye. Once Datong was broken, Mongolia would drive straight into the sky, and the people in the north would be devastated. I said, I was not for the Old Zhu family, but for the people of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, let me hide my strength and keep the light together?
I can't do it!
So, I took two thousand people and kicked Altan Khan's 200,000 camp, and then led two thousand people deep into the grassland and killed Altan Khan.
I know this is a great master, but I have to do it, and I don’t regret it, because I saved the lives of countless people in the Ming Dynasty.”
"After that, Huang Taiji's army was at the city of Beijing. Father-in-law, if I didn't stand up at that time, the capital would be broken, and Huang Taiji would rush south. The people would once again experience the scene of the Mongol Yuan massacre. I had to stand up, even if this would make Your Majesty afraid. Because in my heart, I always believed that the country is a country, the king is a king. The country belongs to the people, and the king is from the old Zhu family.
I stood up, defeated Huang Taiji, and broke into the grassland in order to give the people of the Ming Dynasty a stable day. I cannot hide my light and be with the light just because I am afraid that His Majesty will be afraid.
In fact, although I don’t want to be with the light, I also want to hide my strengths. It’s just that there are too many problems in the Ming Dynasty. The problems in the north have been solved, but the Japanese pirates in the south are getting more and more intense. I was once again pushed to the forefront. But I don’t regret it. I can wipe out the Japanese pirates and give the south a bright world. Even if there is danger, I am not afraid. Even if this danger comes from Your Majesty.
but……
I cannot ignore this danger. It’s not that I am sorry to Your Majesty, but that Your Majesty is sorry to me. I have made such great contributions, and I don’t say that I will not give me a reward, but instead have a murderous intention to kill me. Therefore, I have to guard against it. As Mencius said, if a king treats his ministers as his brothers, then his ministers regard him as his loyal heart; if a king treats his ministers as his dogs and horses, then his ministers regard him as his countrymen; if a king treats his ministers as his earth, then his ministers regard him as his enemies."
Speaking of this, Luo Xin took a deep breath and said, "I don't want to go that step and let the people of the world suffer. So I made a lot of arrangements."
"What arrangements do you make? It is to let your grandpa and his family hide incognito and live a life of fear and fear?"
Luo Xin said proudly: "My Luo family will not worry about being afraid, nor will they live such a life."
Lu Tingfang's face suddenly turned pale: "Do you want to rebel?"
Luo Xin was silent for a moment and said, "Father-in-law, I said that it was not the result I wanted. I would not do that unless I had to."
Lu Tingfang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. When he saw Luo Xin's grandfather no longer went to Lincun, he later found that except for Luo Xin's family, the rest of the people were missing. He felt a bad feeling. After careful consideration, he felt that it was getting worse and worse. Thinking of Luo Xin's influence in the northern and southern armies of the Ming Dynasty, he became even more scared. He actually discovered that before he knew it, Luo Xin had a significant influence in the entire Ming Dynasty military.
No!
I'm afraid it's not as simple as influence. Although he is a civil servant, he also has a certain understanding of military generals. Military generals do not have so many tricks. If an ever-winning general is born, it will easily be worshipped in the army. That ever-winning general is also easy to control the army.
Now is not the founding era. At that time, both Zhu Yuanzhang and later Zhu Di were the first to lead the army and firmly grasped the army. To be honest, the status of civil servants at that time was far from that of today. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di killed them as soon as they were told, killing countless civil servants. At that time, the status of military generals was not weaker than that of civil servants.
Therefore, the military officers at that time were very loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, or worshipping him. No one could control the Ming army. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di gave the order, the army would be firmly in their hands.
but……
It's different now.
Nowadays, the status of military officers is so terrifying. It can be said that they have no status at all. A third-rank military officer must be humble in front of a fifth-rank civil servant. Some military officers even call some civil servants lackeys. The status of civil servants has reached the peak, and military officers live really worse than dogs.
In particular, Emperor Jiajing did not attend court for decades, but only played balance, and did not play civil and military balance, but played balance between civil officials in the cabinet. The emperor's control over military generals had reached a very weak point.
