play tricks around the bed

I'm getting fat!I have read everyone's comments and feeds these days!Thank you bosses for the fish food and starfish!Reply in a unified way: ① Shen Zhu's legs won't get better in the main text, but in the extra episode.

Shen Zhu was distracted from the past, and it was getting late.

Before leaving, Li Gou was reluctant to part with Shen Zhu, and asked Shen Zhu when he would come again.

Shen Zhu patted Li Gou's shoulder and said with a smile: "Your cousin will come back in a few days, so I won't come."

"Ah?" Li Gou looked disappointed, and pulled the corner of Shen Zhu's clothes to prevent Shen Zhu from leaving.

Shen Zhu comforted him for a while, saying that he still had something to do, and then he got away from Li Gou.

Unexpectedly, when he left the palace, he happened to run into Peng Ze.

Peng Ze probably heard that Shen Zhu was back, so he went to ask the emperor about the war again.

Peng Ze is a peaceful faction, and he has not dealt with Shen Zhu, a main combatant, for a long time. It's just that Shen Zhu is too lazy to go to court to quarrel with them, and the two of them have never met.

It happened today, and Eunuch Qing's teeth began to hurt again, and the two ancestors quarreled endlessly as soon as they met.

Peng Ze obviously saw Shen Zhu, and when he came up, he gave Shen Zhu a slap in the face and asked, "What kind of soldiers are you going to bring to fight? After a few years of recuperation, you finally got rich, and you want to squander it all." ?"

Shen Zhu's head hurts when he heard Peng Ze speak.

Peng Ze is not like those scumbags, his proposition has his reasons.

Ten years ago, the Northwest battlefield basically emptied the national treasury. These years, the Zhengshitang and Yushitai worked hard to review and collect taxes to make the money and food work again. It is estimated that if there is another war, the national treasury will be short again.

But just because what he said made sense, it took a lot of brains to argue with him.

"You think I want to fight?" Facing Peng Ze's questioning, Shen Zhu asked back, "Can't you see that there are soldiers coming from the border?"

Peng Ze has never been to the Northwest, and most of the civil servants in the court have never been to the Northwest, nor have they seen a battlefield. They closed their eyes and wanted to value peace.

Peng Ze took it for granted: "As long as we sincerely seek peace, the barbarians in the northwest may not raise their troops to attack again. If we are all about fighting, the neighboring countries will be more wary."

Peng Ze's words made Shen Zhu laugh angrily, and Shen Zhu asked: "Does Peng Yushi know what it means to push an inch?"

Peng Ze didn't know why Shen Zhu asked this question suddenly.

Shen Zhu sneered and continued: "It's because you want to ask for peace, but he thinks you are afraid. He wants money, taxes, women, and land! Wars will not stop just because you ask for peace. How can a big country have to Are you insulted by those princes and clowns?"

"But what about taxes? What about conscription?" Peng Ze refused to give an inch. "Whenever there is a war, the food tax will be increased. Have you ever seen those times when the people were so oppressed by excessive taxes that they couldn't survive?"

Shen Zhu closed his eyes and didn't answer.

What Peng Ze said was reasonable, and he couldn't answer it.

"Not only that, war also requires conscription. All the men in the family have been conscripted, who will grow the land, those old and weak women and children?" Peng Ze looked at the silent Shen Zhu and continued, "If the conscripts leave, they may not be able to live When they came back, those soldiers were just ordinary people, and their wives and parents were still waiting for them to go home."

"Peng Yushi..." Eunuch Qing seems to have heard what Peng Ze is going to say, and just about to speak out to dissuade him, Peng Ze has already said: "Shen Huaizhi, the lives of the people are very important. Don't you want to be like ten people?" Like years ago, throwing the corpses of soldiers into the enemy's city, so that they can't even go home after death?"

"That's what I can't do!" Chen Zhu, who had been keeping his head down and silent, suddenly broke out, raised his head and said hoarsely, "At that time, there was a plague in the army, and I had no food, grass, or medicinal materials. Otherwise, I couldn't have won!"

"Then why didn't you withdraw your troops?" Peng Ze was no less emotional than Shen Zhu, and shouted back, "The imperial decree has been issued!"

"I can't withdraw." Shen Zhu lowered his head and murmured, "Ten cities are connected in the northwest border, and the first nine cities are all in vain. It is the last city, success or failure depends on one action, we can't withdraw!"

In the end, Shen Zhu's voice was almost crying, "Do you guys understand?"

Nobody understands him.

Few civil servants in the court knew the art of war.

They simply thought that there were enough nine cities, and Shen Zhu insisted on fighting because he was greedy for merit and warlike.

Peng Ze and Shen Zhu were silent.

The two of them have been arguing about the past for ten years, and neither of them can convince the other.

After the northwest issued an imperial decree to withdraw troops, the last city was left.

Shen Zhu felt that the imperial decree came strangely, and when the war was tense, the perverse Shen Zhu directly came to disrespect the imperial decree, and planned to return to Beijing to plead guilty after the battle.

But Shen Zhu didn't expect that Li Jue would directly seize the supplies and food, which caused the situation of the Northwest Frontier Army to take a turn for the worse.

At the same time, the enemy army planted the source of the plague in the army in the northwest.

Food and grass are scarce but there are few medicinal materials. They can't live without disease, not to mention the plague is raging. Under the bitter cold conditions on the border, this situation is basically waiting for death.

Therefore, at that time, Shen Zhu made a decision that everyone could not imagine: throw the corpses of soldiers who died of the plague into the enemy's city with a trebuchet.

This approach is too cruel and inhumane.

Soldiers have fought hundreds of times on the battlefield, dying and dying for several years, what they want is to wear military exploits and return home with glory.

Even if he died, he hoped that he would die on the battlefield and be buried in his hometown with all his head and tail.

But doing so would undoubtedly mean that life would not be fulfilled and death would not be peaceful for those soldiers.

No one can accept this approach, but no one resists it.

Because on reflection it seemed the only promising course of action.

Shen Zhu stood in front of the formation, looked at the city in front of him, slowly raised his hand, and said to the soldiers behind him: "If they have complaints, they all come to me alone. It has nothing to do with you."

After the words fell, Shen Zhu put down his hands, and the corpses of those soldiers were thrown into the opposite city with the plague.

The plague began to spread in the enemy's city, riots broke out in the city, Shen Zhu led the remaining few hundred people to break through the last city.

Since then, the northwest border has been lined up, and it has been stable for ten years.

No one could have imagined that Shen Zhu could still win under such circumstances.

It was a surprise to win this battle.

But no one sings.

Because too many people died.

That is to say, after that battle, Shen Zhu's name symbolized tyranny and warlikeness, symbolized taxation and conscription.

When Mingming was leaving, he had the frivolity of worshiping officials and conferring titles, and he was full of ambitions to serve the country.

But in the end, his life full of scars was full of notoriety.

For ten years, Chen Zhu has always had nightmares, dreaming that those soldiers asked him why he didn't take them home.

Shen Zhu couldn't help it either, that battle caused Shen Zhu much more damage than Peng Ze.

"I've never forgotten that war." Shen Zhu adjusted his mood and lowered his head and said, "But the stability of the border in the past ten years was all obtained by soldiers' flesh and blood, not by seeking peace."

Peng Ze asked, "So the lives of those soldiers are not important, are they?"

"Important, just as important." Shen Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, "But my duty lies."

The two eventually parted ways.

Peng Ze continued to walk into the palace to give advice to the emperor, and Shen Zhu continued to walk outside the palace gate.

"Young Master, don't be too angry." Eunuch Qing sent Shen Zhu to the gate of the palace, "Peng Yushi has that temper, so don't take it to heart, Young Master."

"It's been ten years, I'm used to it." Shen Zhu smiled and replied, "Eunuch Qing should come back earlier, the emperor is waiting for you to serve."

"By the way, Young Lord." Eunuch Qing moved closer to Shen Zhu, and suggested in a low voice, "If Young Lord is in a bad mood, you might as well go to Jianguo Temple. The Buddhist family is quiet and cultivates one's morality."

Jianguo Temple...

Shen Zhu suddenly remembered that Li Jue always went to Jianguo Temple to worship Buddha.

Anyway, it's not convenient for him to see Han Yiqiu again in this state today, so why not go to the temple that Li Jue often goes to, and see what Buddha Li Jue has been talking about all these years.

Seeing that Shen Zhu was planning to go to Jianguo Temple, Eunuch Qing smiled and stopped talking, and took two steps back.

Shen Zhu didn't dare to come to the monastery in recent years, he always felt that the Buddhist family would not accept people like himself who were in debt.He would come with everyone only during the royal sacrifices in previous years.

He thought he was just here for a stroll, but he didn't expect that the abbot came out to greet him when he heard that it was him.

Shen Zhu put his palms together hurriedly, and solemnly said "Amitabha".

The abbot also replied, and then asked: "Did the donor come to fulfill his wish?"

Shen Zhu didn't understand, so what wish?

The abbot was an old monk, and he did not answer with drooping slack eyelids.With a face that couldn't see any sadness or joy, he led Shen Zhu to a corridor without saying a word.

The corridor is deep and cold, and the Buddha statues on the walls on both sides are peeling and mottled, revealing the color of the years.However, the gray and dilapidated walls are not lonely, because the walls on both sides are filled with Buddhist lamps lit with candles.

The entire corridor is brightly lit by Buddha lamps.

The luminous Buddha lamp coldly illuminates the sad and happy Buddha statue on the wall. This corridor is like Li Jue, silent and heavy.

Shen Zhu's breathing could not help slowing down, he slowly approached the corridor, picked up one of the Buddha lamps, and saw his birthday written on it.

Take another one, still the same.

The next one is still the same.

The next one, still.

Shen Zhu turned around and looked at the abbot in disbelief.

The abbot lowered his eyes and said without changing his expression: "This is all offered by His Highness King Huai in previous years."

With trembling lips, Chen Zhu asked intermittently: "They are all for me?"

The abbot remained silent, but led Shen Zhu to a Buddha lamp.

The abbot said, "This is what King Huai offered this year."

The abbot's tone was calm, as if he was just stating a common thing.

But Chen Zhu couldn't be calm, he stretched out his hand tremblingly, and tremblingly picked up the Buddha lamp.

Turn on the Buddha lamp, which reads: This trip is dangerous, Jue, willing to pay with his life.I just hope that Shen Zhu will not be implicated.

The time of enshrining was the second day after Shen Zhu went to the daimyo.

Some things that were neglected by Shen Zhu when he was in daimyo sparked sparks between lightning and flint.

Too bad, Li Jue is in danger.

At this moment, Laifu ran over, "Master, master is not good."

Laifu cried so much that his face was full of snot and tears, he knelt in front of Shen Zhu and said: "My lord was assassinated on the way back to Daming!"

The candle lamp in Chen Zhu's hand fell to the ground with a "slap" and broke.
