Wanli 1592

Chapter 617

Xiao Ruxun disagreed with what Li Rusong said.

"Exactly! So Zhang Jiangling is doomed to fail."

The smile on Xiao Ruxun's face disappeared, and was replaced by a frosty expression: "Since ancient times, those who bring order out of chaos are all those who hold military power! Zongbing Li, Zhang Jiangling was restrained because he obeyed the rules as the chief assistant. I, Xiao Ruxun, am nothing, when words and means cannot solve the problem, this is the last way to solve the problem."

Xiao Ruxun took his battle sword and drew half of it.

This is also the way the Manchus finally solved the problem.

"No!"

Li Rusong stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Ruxun's hand: "The world has been stable for a long time, what is the chaos, what is the rebellion? If the name is not right, you are the chaos and you are the rebellion! Governor Xiao, I said, I am not stupid , I studied under the great Confucian Xu Wei, what you think, I never thought about it 30 years ago, but Mr. Xu only told me about one person, and I knew how ignorant I was. Do you know who it is? "

Xiao Ruxun took a deep breath and put the sword back into the scabbard.

"Chao Cuo."

"Since Governor Xiao knows, I won't say more. Governor Xiao should know very well what happened to Chao Cuo. Even if you don't talk about Chao Cuo, just talk about Zhang Jiangling. Zhang Jiangling is not dedicated to serving the country. He is far worse than Chao Cuo in doing things. The mistake was so drastic, what is the result? Governor Xiao, who do you think His Majesty is today? He is as wise as Emperor Jing, so that Chao Cuo's head is in a different place?"

Li Rusong lowered his voice again and said: "Don't say anything else, just say something disrespectful, the power in His Majesty's hands today, Governor Xiao, can't you see it? It's not as powerful as yours! Government orders don't leave the palace! Something really happened , Who do you think can speak for you? Fortunately, the people in power are a group of literati who have no intention of rebelling, if they rebel, the world will change color by tomorrow."

Seeing Xiao Ruxun's expressionless face, Li Rusong sighed.

"When you are young and vigorous, everyone has some impulsiveness. The older you are, the less impulsive you are. Governor Xiao, you and I are the same. You are just generals. In the eyes of the world today, we are not qualified to intervene in government affairs. Not to mention setting things right, a literati can kill with just one mouth and one pen!

Sometimes it is even sharper than the sword in our hands, so sharp that even the emperor would shy away, what can we do!It is true that you have become a governor, but you are not a literati. After the war, you must resign and return to Burma.

Why did I want to hit that governor, why did I use the name of violence?I just want to tell those petty officials not to mess with Lao Tzu in the name of Jinshi!If you provoke me, I will beat you like whoever you are!But this is only useful for small officials. The older civil servants don't mess with you at all, and you don't dare to mess with them.

They don't know that Myanmar can make money now, if one day they know, Governor Xiao, can you hide it?Those hungry wolves can pounce on them immediately. In the end, you are better than me, but Tie Po Tian is the same as Mu Wangfu. If you don’t go out of the gate, you can’t protect yourself wisely. most. "

Xiao Ruxun looked at Li Rusong, and said, "Then Li Zongbing is also a wise and safe person?"

Li Rusong was silent for a while.

"It wasn't 30 years ago."

Xiao Ruxun nodded.

"Mr. Li, are you really willing?"

Li Rusong picked up the leg of lamb and bit off a piece of meat.

"I wish I could chew them up."

Xiao Ruxun also picked up the unfinished half of a roast leg of lamb.

"Can you get what you want if you can bear it for a lifetime? Is it better to live by stealth, or to die bravely?"

Li Rusong shook his head.

"Believe me, no one will know that you, Xiao Ruxun, died bravely, and no one will know why you died. If you die, you will be a traitor to the country. You will be rebellious for years despite your grace; if you live and beg for mercy, You are the famous general of the country, the No.1 general in Wanli, famous in history, Governor Xiao, Xiao Jixin, how do you choose?"

Xiao Ruxun swallowed the meat in his mouth and remained silent.

Li Rusong tore another piece of meat and chewed it.

"I still remember that at that time, Mr. Xu once got drunk and asked me a question. He asked me, if the descendants in a hundred years or a thousand years knew me, how would they know me? I said, of course it was on the battlefield Make meritorious deeds, and then leave a name in history! Later generations will know my achievements in history books! Know that I am a great general and hero!

As a result, Mr. Xu laughed for a while with drunken eyes. He said, do you think all the thieves in the history books are thieves?Are all heroes heroes?Are all virtuous ministers virtuous?Villains are villains?Have you seen them in person?Have you talked to them?Isn't it still a pen, a historian's pen, a pen that you can write whatever those in power want you to write!
There is only one Dong Hu!Qi Taishi has only one family!Can you believe what you wrote?Not to mention anything else, Ji Xin, do you believe that Liu Bang is the son of the Red Emperor?That's written in the history books!When those emperors and generals were born, the sky was full of auspiciousness, and they blossomed and bore fruit, cranes and dragons, do you believe it?That is also written in the history books!

You are against the civil servants who hold the pen of history books, what do you expect them to write about you?Write about your cruelty, write about you pitting and killing the enemy, write about your greed, and write about your betrayal of the king!Even if it is His Majesty, what can His Majesty do?Someone would dare to scold him while he was alive, let alone after he died?Lord Jiajing was so beautiful back then, as soon as he died, his body was still warm, when Xu Jie turned his head, there was a will scolding himself. "

Xiao Ruxun ate the meat in silence without saying a word.

"We are generals. We do what generals do, and we don't participate in other things. Even if you always lose battles, as long as you dare to fight, you can become a famous general. Really, Ji Xin, I won't lie to you."

Li Rusong gnawed a leg of lamb viciously, and then threw the bone heavily on the ground.

"What troubles!"

Xiao Ruxun heard him shout like this.

"I will think about it."

Xiao Ruxun just said something like this, which obviously couldn't satisfy Li Rusong. To be honest, it was a joy to be able to explain everything clearly to Xiao Ruxun tonight, and the weight that weighed on my heart before was gone. However, Xiao Ruxun's statement made him a little anxious.

"Ji Xin, you must think carefully."

Xiao Ruxun smiled.

"Don't worry, brother Zimao, I won't say a single word of what we said tonight, and I hope you will do the same."

Li Rusong opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just nodded: "I won't say it either, it will rot in my stomach, and no one will ever know, I, Li Rusong, will do what I say."

Xiao Ruxun threw away the sheep bone and clasped his hands together: "Thank you!"

Li Rusong knew that it was time for him to leave, so he cupped his fists and turned around to leave.

"Brother Zimao, wait a moment."

After walking a few steps, Xiao Ruxun's voice came from behind him. Li Rusong stopped and turned around, looking at Xiao Ruxun suspiciously.
