[Comprehensive] Travel to the world of martial arts and raise a boss

The emperor's injury was actually not serious. The assassin didn't really hurt him at all. He was injured because he was too panicked and fell when he was assassinated. It was just a matter of resting for a few days, but from the north The news that came urgently from eight thousand miles made the emperor so frightened that he couldn't get out of bed at all.

Jin Chen Bing frontier, will soon go south.

The court was unstable, the emperor had just been assassinated, and the assassin hadn't been thoroughly investigated before such news came, which was simply worse for Da Song.

There has been a lot of quarrels in the court these days. Those who are in the main battle and those who wait and see are more of the main and the peace. The attitude of giving money to silver is so frustrating. It is especially frustrating that a person who is the king of a country will be so frightened by the news that the gold man has come to commit a crime. I have to say that this is an extremely absurd thing. It fully illustrates the weakness of the Song Dynasty court.

The king of a country is like this, let alone other people.

Regarding the affairs in the court, Lu Chongming has been watching with cold eyes and kept silent, although he is now the top leader of the Privy Council.

The Privy Council Envoy, an old man in his 70s and Lu Chongming's immediate boss, fell ill at home the moment he learned of the Jin man's attack. No one knew whether his illness was real or fake. What's worse is that the power of the Privy Council may eventually fall into the hands of Cai Xiang's faction.

Lu Chongming, who was temporarily serving as the Privy Council, was unmoved by the gazes from all sides, and only did his best to do the work within the scope of his duties every day.

Because of this sudden incident, the marriage between Lu Chongming and Cai's family was postponed again. Gu Xichao is the happiest about this. For him, his father is still his own for the time being, which is very good.

Zhangji Tofu Nao is just a small roadside stall with only a few tables and chairs. It is very shabby, but it is clean and the owner's craftsmanship is good. His tofu nao is always more famous than others. No smell.

After Lu Chongming ate it once, he has always liked it. Every time he goes to court, he will stop by here to drink a bowl. A big bowl is full, and the portion is very large. When the stomach is full, the messy things in the morning court seem to be almost forgotten. up.

At the beginning, he was wearing a black gauze and wearing a vermilion official robe sitting there drinking tofu nao, which would arouse the curiosity of others, but after a long time, he got used to it, after all, he was at the foot of the emperor, relatives of the emperor, and dignitaries. There are so many, it's not unusual to see too much, although others are not like him, they will sit on the side of the road drinking tofu nao without any image.

The white tofu nao mixed with green onions is really refreshing, and it makes people appetite after seeing it. Lu Chongming straightened his back, took a bite of pancakes, and ate a mouthful of tofu nao seriously. Suddenly, a long figure appeared in front of him, blocking the the sun shining on him.

He slowly raised his head, chewed and swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said: "You came out so soon, do you need me to say congratulations?"

With a soft cough, Su Mengzhen lifted up her clothes and sat opposite him, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

"Don't!" Lu Chongming stopped him and said, "I didn't do anything, Master Su should be grateful to Lord Zhuge."

Su Mengzhen was obviously very surprised, "You know?"

Lu Chongming didn't answer. Although he doesn't ask about some things, it doesn't mean he doesn't know anything.

Su Mengzhen smiled lightly and said: "I do have a close friendship with him, and he also helped me a lot when I returned to Beijing this time, but Mr. Gu's intentions are still in my heart."

"It's not necessary." Lu Chongming frowned slightly, "The stand is different, I can help you once or twice, but not necessarily the third and fourth time."

He is Cai Jing's trusted confidant and has a close relationship with him, while Su Mengzhen is a stumbling block that Cai Jing wholeheartedly wants to get rid of. There will be a day when the two will confront each other. He knows it, and he also knows it.

Su Mengzhen was silent for a moment, and said solemnly: "I have known you for three years. Although I can't say that I know you well, I think I know your character well. You are upright and upright. Man, I don't understand, why do you have to stand with Cai Jing?"

There were doubts and regrets in his tone. After hearing this, Lu Chongming only said casually, "Does it make any difference which side you stand on?"

"Why not?" Su Mengzhen frowned, "Cai Jing is a deceitful, cunning and greedy man. He is the moth of the country. Sooner or later, the Song Dynasty will be buried in his hands. My lord, why do you want to help the evildoers?!"

Ding—the spoon lightly touched the rim of the bowl, making a crisp sound. Lu Chongming calmly said, "Could it be that the demise of a country can be achieved by just one person?"

Su Mengzhen was slightly stunned, and looked up at him.

"I have been in the capital for half a year. Do you know what I saw?" Lu Chongming stirred the tofu nao in the bowl. He didn't look up at the other party, but said to himself: "I saw this country. The emperor is not the emperor, drunk and dreamy, incompetent, hundreds of officials are not hundreds of officials, forming cliques for selfish interests, and the smoky atmosphere. The whole Bianliang and the entire Song Dynasty are whitewashing the peace. Everyone is indulging in luxury and money. It is heading towards extinction step by step.”

Su Mengzhen smiled wryly, "You really are the one who sees it most clearly."

Lu Chongming ignored him, and continued: "It has been five days since the news came from the border, and there has been a whole five days of quarreling in the court. It is war and no one can convince anyone, but what should really be won? Those who came up with the idea were scared out of their wits, and hid in the harem all day without asking about court affairs, heh, if you ask me, I should really thank Cai Xiang, because with him in charge, the court did not really mess up."

Su Mengzhen obviously didn't agree with his last sentence, he said coldly: "I'm afraid that because of his presidency, the court will finally have to give money and money to seek peace."

"Is this what adults want to see?!"

Lu Chongming finally looked up at him, "What do you want to say?"

Su Mengzhen's face was very pale, but her eyes were as sharp as the dreaded knife in his sleeve, "I admit that the court is corrupt and the emperor is incompetent, but that's the case, you and I should stand up and do our best." Participate! To expel the Tartars and restore the mountains and rivers, since you are a Song person, you should not run away!"

Lu Chongming was silent for a moment, and said, "Even if the result is not satisfactory?"

"Even if the result is not as expected!"

Lu Chongming sighed secretly. He actually understood this feeling best. He had received patriotic education since he was a child, but what he loved was his own country, not the Song Dynasty.

He understood him, so he was willing to fulfill him within his ability. He asked, "So? What do you want me to do when you come to see me?"

"Blindly seeking peace will only aggravate the greed of the Jin people, and it will not benefit the Song Dynasty. My lord is in charge of the Privy Council and the military mobilization of the whole country. Please lead the battle!"

Before Su Mengzhen left, he had a problem for him. He could ignore it. He would take on his responsibility, but he was always too lazy to take care of things outside the scope of responsibility, but this time, he suddenly couldn't stay out of it.

I don't know why, maybe it's just because of the dazzling light in the other party's eyes when he talked about his country?

Just because of the other party's plea, he suddenly turned a corner on the way and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Coincidentally, Cai Jing was also looking for him.

As the right-hand man Cai Jing trained for himself, Lu Chongming knew a lot of his secret affairs, including that as the prime minister, he had a good relationship with the Jin people and had frequent contacts in secret, so he was a firm advocate of peace, and the reason why Cai Jing He called Lu Chongming over because he was dissatisfied with his silent behavior in court.

Lu Chongming is now in charge of the Privy Council, and his weight in the court is not light, but his attitude is still very important.

As Cai Jing's protégé and future son-in-law, he should have stood firmly by Cai Jing's side on the first day, but for five days, he has been silently on the sidelines without saying a word, which is why Cai Jing called him today. .

Faced with the obvious displeasure of the other party, Lu Chongming was silent for a moment, and said: "The Jin people are always cunning and greedy. If they ask for peace, is Cai Xiang sure that they will not go back on their word? Never did."

Cai Jing's eyes were fixed, and he had already noticed the abnormality behind his words, "Zizhou disagrees?"

"Teacher," Lu Chongming bent down to salute, "It's fine if the peace negotiation is successful, and it's your responsibility if there is a slight discrepancy!"

Cai Jing calmed down a little, and said, "Don't worry, Zizhou, the Emperor Jin personally promised me that there will be no mistakes."

Lu Chongming's heart tightened, and he actually hooked up with the Emperor of Jin himself. It seems that he still underestimated Cai Xiangguo's methods.

He pursed his lips and said calmly: "Cai Xiang is Cai Xiang of the Song Dynasty, not of the Jin people. If something happens to you, the court will be chaotic, but the Jin emperor will only be happy."

Although these words were cold and harsh, they were worried about his safety. Cai Jing would not be unhappy. He patted Lu Chongming on the shoulder and said, "Zizhou is still young and full of blood, I understand, but it is imperative to negotiate peace." Yes, not because of me, but because of the officials, he is the one who most hopes to negotiate a peace."

Lu Chongming's eyes moved slightly, and he vaguely understood what he meant. Sure enough, he heard Cai Jing continue: "Zhuge Zheng and my group of idiots, what do you understand? , so what if there are more people in the main battle? The old man is just following the wishes of the officials."

Lu Chongming closed his eyes, and suddenly felt that a single person could ruin a dynasty, but the mourner was not the scheming and scheming Prime Minister Cai, but the emperor who had too much power but was incompetent.

With such an emperor, how could the country be undefeated!

Main battle or main peace?When Lu Chongming stepped out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and felt the warm sunshine pouring down on his body, he vaguely made a decision.
