back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 218 Xu Jingchun's thoughts

Xu Jingchun didn't empathize with the ambition in Lu Chengqi's words, but felt that there would be a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood in front of him.He was from the frontier army, and he was very familiar with the battlefield.Every night, the dream and the dead comrades would be shocked into a cold sweat.Every time I think about it, it is already a great luck to survive the battlefield where the arrows are flying around, and step by step to reach the current position.

If Xu Jingchun were to face the war again, I'm afraid he would collapse directly, either going crazy or insane.This is why some soldiers have been traumatized after the actual killing.

There is no morality in fighting to the death on the battlefield.If you don't kill people, people will kill you.This is due to the environment, not a person's own choice.When it is possible to choose, who can kill a person who has nothing to do with you without any scruples?I'm afraid only perverts can do it. In terms of human nature, this is a very difficult thing to accept.

What is even more difficult to accept is that a good friend died in front of him on the battlefield.Unfortunately, in this battle, you won military merits and thus got a promotion.In this case, the emotion of guilt and self-blame will linger in the heart and become a lingering nightmare.

Xu Jingchun has such an experience, so every time he thinks that his official uniform is related to his subordinates who fought side by side when he was in the frontier army, he blames himself very much.This is clearly stepping on their blood to achieve his official career!

When he was transferred to Chang'an City and became the head of the imperial guard in the imperial palace, he visited the families of these soldiers more than once.It was found that most of them were alone, not even Zi Sui stayed behind.In this way, even the most basic compensation can be achieved. Xu Jingchun has lived a very depressed life for a long time.

Do you think he is really so romantic, really like Rouge Flower Field, Pink Skull, and Lady in Wine?That's all appearance, Xu Jingchun wants to use such presumptuousness to cover up his fragility and sadness.

Now hearing the undisguised murderous intent in Lu Chengqi's words, in Xu Jingchun's mind, a scene of almost complete success and death, the arrows like locusts, howling endlessly, the horse neighing, shouting endlessly to kill.At the same time, the decisive look in the comrade's eyes before he died, and a nostalgia for life suddenly appeared before his eyes.

If it wasn't for holding back, Xu Jingchun would probably go crazy by now.

Lu Chengqi, who had practiced breathing and exhalation techniques, could hear Xu Jingchun's breathing, which suddenly became chaotic and became rapid.At the same time, his face was livid, as if he had thought of something terrible.Noticing his abnormality, the well-informed Lu Chengqi immediately understood that this intelligence chief who was born in the frontier army suffered from post-war psychological trauma.

This is very difficult to cure, and only through continuous psychological suggestion can we gradually overcome it.Lu Chengqi sighed secretly, and said: "Xu Qing, don't think too much, I don't know when this wish will come true. If I'm unlucky, I'm afraid I won't be able to realize it in this life. Xu Qing, you just need Just do what I entrusted to you, and that's it. Don't think too much about other things..."

Hearing this, Xu Jingchun, who was forced to restrain himself, forced out a smile, which was uglier than crying: "Your Majesty's instruction, I will keep it in mind, and I will go back to the Supervision Department and order my subordinates to do things."

In order to divert his attention, Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "No rush, no rush, it will take several years for me to complete this matter. This is a continuous and gradual process, not a one-day achievement. There is something for you to do..."

After all, Lu Chengqi took out the farm tool drawings that Li Jie had just submitted, and said, "Xu Qing, these are the improved farm tools that Li Jie, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, presented to me. True knowledge. Whether this farm tool is useful or not can only be known after it has been used. If it is useful, I will ask inspectors from various state capitals to go to the countryside to promote it. Now that the inspection departments are all over the territory of Dashun, it is the most suitable thing to do this. If the farmer refuses to use it, even one or two will do as a gift, Xu Qing, do you understand what I mean?"

Xu Jingchun would be stupid if he didn't understand something so superficial.He is also from a mud-legged background. If it weren't for the fact that he really couldn't get a full stomach, he wouldn't have joined the frontier army and hung his head on the waistband of his trousers to get a full stomach.

It was also due to his luck that he got to this position.You know, the director of the Supervision Department, how many people covet the official position!Although this official position is hated by the officials, it can win the trust of the little emperor, and the authority it holds is not under the previous prime minister.

You know, if Zaifu wants to bring down a person, he still needs the consent of the emperor; as long as the current supervisory department presents evidence, to bring down a person is really a matter of talking.A little exaggeration, touching the most sensitive nerve of the little emperor, it would be nine out of ten.

How can someone with power and ambition resist such a temptation!If these people control the Supervision Department, I am afraid that it will become the Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Xichang of the Ming Dynasty in the official history.At that time, the original intention of establishing the Supervision Department no longer exists, and the Supervision Department has become a tool to bring down political opponents, so what is the point of supervising officials!

After Lu Chengqi deliberately changed the subject, Xu Jingchun really felt much better, and said: "Your Majesty's move is really wise!"

Lu Chengqi laughed and scolded: "Okay, don't flatter me. It's getting late, so let's get on with things. If you do a good job, I will definitely reward you. However, you must make the spies be careful. For strangers, These Khitans and Jurchens are the most guarded. Don't bury a corpse in another country, even if I want to avenge them, I have to weigh it again and again..."

Xu Jingchun heard that Lu Chengqi thought so much about his subordinates, how could he not be moved?It's just that he is emotionally dull and not good at expressing, he can only respond repeatedly.After leaving the Chui Gong Palace, Xu Jingchun greeted his former subordinates and imperial guards one by one, but he was thinking in his heart: "The Holy One's concern is really far away. However, this Jurchen is a bit fierce, but she is also Not to that point. Now that the Khitan people are so powerful, will they die? The Holy Majesty seems to have forgotten this, but I can’t say it clearly. Sigh, forget it, forget it, I will do my own thing and obey the destiny. If It’s good if it’s done, but if it’s not done, I’ll explain it later, maybe the Holy Majesty won’t blame me, right?”

With a heavy heart, he left the palace and went straight to the Supervision Department.

In Chang'an City, there are as many officials in the capital as a cow's hair. With Xu Jingchun's fourth-rank official uniform, he is really inconspicuous in Chang'an City.But the official uniform of the Supervision Department is different. The auspicious beast on the chest is Xiezhi. It is said that Xiezhi has high wisdom and understands human speech and human nature.Its eyes are wide open, it can distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, loyal and traitorous, and when it finds a treacherous official, it knocks him down with its horns, and then eats its stomach.Generally, Xiezhi will be placed in front of the yamen of Yushitai.

But in Dashun, the only one with Xiezhi embroidered on the official uniform is the Supervision Department.So Xu Jingchun could be said to be very showy in this uniform, and everyone, whether commoners or rich gentry, respected him along the way.Xu Jingchun was also used to the eyes of others like this, and he still walked towards the Supervision Department compound without changing his expression.
