Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 582

Chapter 580: Falling apart

After a heated debate, in the end, the supporters overcame the opponents.

After determining the pursuit policy, Lu Zhi personally led the [-] troops under his command to pursue the pursuit, while Li Shimin led the [-] troops to assist.

But what no one expected was that Lu Zhi, a veteran of the battlefield, was caught in an ambush by Zhang Liang less than fifty miles after the leader left Hulao Pass.

Zhang Liang had long guessed that the Han army would come to chase, so he set up an ambush in advance on the way to Yanzhou.

As a veteran of the battlefield, Lu Zhi didn't know that the Ming army might set up an ambush, but he didn't expect Zhang Liang to set up an ambush so close to Hulao Pass, and he was killed with heavy casualties.

Fortunately, Li Shimin of the rear army arrived 'in time', not only broke the ambush, but also rescued the seriously injured Lu Zhi.

Looking at Lu Zhi lying on the stretcher, Li Shimin clasped his fists solemnly and said, "Sir, please rest assured and recuperate, and leave the pursuit to the end general."

Looking at this handsome and energetic face, Lu Zhi's heart was extremely complicated.

Really old.

Lu Zhi thought bitterly in his heart that even if he refused to accept the old age, he had to admit that the younger generation had come out in great numbers.

After all, this world belongs to young people, but unfortunately, how many people are truly loyal to the big man?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhi couldn't help but feel a little disheartened. The princes in the world run their own affairs. There are very few loyal men, and the Sizhou given to him by the emperor will not be able to keep it.

If it weren't for the fact that the Liangzhou faction was too persecuted, how could Lu Zhi take the risk of pursuing him to knock the mountain and shake the tiger, but unfortunately the tiger didn't shake, but instead became Li Shimin's potential.

Now that Lu Zhi's strength has been weakened again, the Liangzhou clan has become a general trend in Sizhou, Dong Zhuo will be the supporter of Liangsi and the two states, and the princes and overlords are about to be born, even the imperial court is powerless to stop them.

Sizhou was snatched by Liang Department in his own hands. Lu Zhi was unwilling and helpless, but he really tried his best, but he was weak.

Seeing that Li Shimin was about to leave, Lu Zhi grabbed his arm, stared into his eyes, and said word by word, "Li Shimin, this old man, let me ask you, is your allegiance a big man or Dong Zhongying."

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard the words, then he showed a bright smile and said, "What Shimin is loyal to is the common people in the world."

"you……"

Lu Zhi's eyes narrowed, of course he knew the meaning of Li Shimin's words. He said that he was loyal to the world, but he was actually loyal to himself.

Another hero!

"It's okay, it's okay, let's go."

Lu Zhi let go of Li Shimin's hand weakly. There are many heroes in this world, and there is no shortage of Li Shimin. He and a dying old man are powerless to intervene.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he clasped his fists and saluted, "Thank you sir."

After leading the army to break the two ambushes of the Ming army, Li Shimin did not continue to pursue, and then closed it as soon as he saw it, because a bigger drama was still to come.

In the third year of Zhongping, in October, a rumor spread throughout the Central Plains that Emperor Ming Zhang Sheng was a woman.

This rumor flowed out inexplicably, but it exploded in the Central Plains like thunder, and spread throughout the thirteen states at an extremely abnormal speed.

Is Emperor Ming a woman?
how can that be.

The identity of Zhang Sheng and Zhang Jiao's son has been recognized by many parties. You say that a woman is a woman?
Don't say men don't believe it, even women don't believe it.

In this era of male superiority and female inferiority, it is too illusory for a woman to be an emperor, and people with a little judgment basically don't believe it.

However, the following news has shaken the unbelievers.

Rumors say that Zhang Sheng is actually Dongfangsheng, the saint of Taiping. As soon as Zhang Sheng appeared, the queen Dongfangsheng disappeared inexplicably. Isn't this strange?

Zhang Sheng is as beautiful as a demon. Since ancient times, beautiful men such as Song Yu and Pan An are less than one-tenth as good as Zhang Sheng. How could a man be so beautiful?
Of course, the most important point is that Zhang Sheng has not chosen a concubine so far, and he will not be close to any woman, except his sister Zhang Ning.

Let me ask, except for men who have no choice but to have Longyang, which man would not like women?Unless it's a woman!
Also, even if you have the goodness of Longyang, since you are the emperor, even if you are serving the country and the people, you should have children!
Zhang Sheng didn't even think that the source of her identity was revealed to be Concubine Na. She thought that she would be supported by everyone by staying away from women, being diligent in politics and loving the people, but she did not expect it to become the source of cholera.

After all, the emperor's lust is not a crime, it is creating people for the country, and no matter how hard or tired he is, he has to go on. Zhang Sheng didn't realize this, and Li Shimin used it to catch a loophole.

To sum up the three points, plus Zhang Shicheng and other Qu Shuai who surrendered, they all stood up and insisted that Zhang Jiao had no children, which made Zhang Sheng's gender issue a bit confusing.

Many people are doubting whether Zhang Sheng is a man or a woman, and this doubt has made the gradually stable state of Daming turbulent again. After all, most people cannot accept that they are ruled by a woman.

Of course, the team that Zhang Jiao left behind is still very loyal. They occupy all the top eight floors of Daming, so in the short term, the top level of Daming is relatively stable, while most of the turbulent people are in the middle and bottom.

Most of the middle and low-level people believed in Zhang Sheng. After all, during her reign, she was indeed gradually reversing the declining state of the Ming Dynasty, and the national strength was gradually thriving.

In addition, Zhang Sheng went to the battlefield in person, and he was both civil and military, as if he had the attitude of a wise man, so most of the middle and lower layers supported him.

They thought that this was a trick of the Han army. The big Han wanted to break the rising national power of Daming, so that Daming himself would be in chaos, so they hoped that the emperor could stand up and explain, and not be splashed with dirty water.

But Zhang Sheng has never come forward to explain, just like the tacit rumors, which also made Daming's turmoil gradually intensified.

Qingzhou, Qi State, in the Governor's Palace.

After reading the information in his hand, Huang Chao raised his head and looked up at the galaxy, and said nothing for a long time.

"Great virtuous teacher, why do you rather trust her as a little girl, but don't want to trust me Huang Chao?"

Scenes from the past appeared in Huang Chao's mind, Zhang Jiao's unreserved trust, and the three plans to destroy the Han by himself, how high-spirited he was at that time.

Until he was defeated by Qin Hao in Kaifeng, Huang Chao completely lost to Xiang Yu in the heir battle.

Thinking of this, Huang Chao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "No, my good teacher gave me a chance, I lost the bet myself and lost to Qin Hao, I can't blame others. But what if you win, Xiang Yu? In the end, I lost nothing. "

Zhang Sheng's efforts during this period of time were seen by Huang Chao, but he could not gain Huang Chao's loyalty because of this, because Huang Chao would not be loyal to anyone except Zhang Jiao.

"Little girl, I am here to repay the kindness of the great teacher, not to agree with you and your Ming Kingdom."

The next day, Huang Chao stood up to refute the rumor, admitted the identity of Zhang Sheng and Zhang Jiao's son, and announced that he would swear to support the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty.
