"Sister Yuan, I feel that you have grown up a lot." When the three of them were sitting by the lake fishing, Lu Sheng suddenly said this emotion, which made Sheng Yuan and Anyu look sideways.
"How do you say this? It seems that I was very naive before." Sheng Yuan raised the fishing rod, looked at the empty fishhook, and put the fish food again in a good-tempered manner.
Lu Sheng had long been accustomed to her fishing being equivalent to feeding the fish, and he stared at the lake intently: "If you want to let go of your temper, you might be standing in your uncle's tent to question him right now."
"I just can't stand it, and it's not like I have a problem with my IQ. How could I set myself on fire?" Sheng Yuan shrugged, "I'm not in Kyoto, and the accusations against me will be flying everywhere. If it's like what you said, You see, a label of interfering with the war is about to be slapped on my head. There is no way anyone will accuse me of being a foreigner! I am not stupid, how can I give political achievements to others just for the sake of temporary pleasure."
"That's right! Sister Yuan is so smart! We will settle the score later! When we return to Beijing, we must make it clear in front of the emperor!" An Yu began to gear up as he thought about the future.
Unfortunately, of the three people present, he was the only one excited.
Anyu looked at the silent Shengyuan and Lu Sheng in surprise: "Why don't you speak?"
Seeing Sheng Yuan's calm eyes, Lu Sheng turned his head to look at the puzzled Anyu, pursed his lips, and asked helplessly: "Brother Yu, do you really think that if you complain to the emperor, the Holy Lord will be able to punish the current Duke Sheng Guo? "
"That's not what it is! He deceives the superiors and deceives the inferiors! He is ruthless and unjust! He violates the holy will!"
"But he didn't waste the opportunity!" Lu Sheng couldn't help but answer after hearing the end, "The so-called deceiving the superiors and concealing the inferiors, he deceived Sister Yuan and concealed it from Old Master Sheng. Even if he sued the emperor, he only needed to use 'He has always been strict with himself and refused to let his niece run away from battle'.
As for the ruthlessness and unrighteousness you mentioned, in the eyes of the sergeants, it cannot be said that he is the ruthless and righteous commander in chief. "
"Sister Yuan didn't run away in battle!" Anyu didn't like to associate this idiom with Sheng Yuan.
The corners of Lu Sheng's lips trembled: "..."
The key point this guy looks for every time is always so touching.
"Of course Sister Yuan did not, but it is absolutely true that Old Sheng Guogong asked the Holy One for Sister Yuan's decree! And the Holy One even agreed! And what Duke Sheng violated was the imperial decree for Sister Yuan to retreat to Luodu Mountain! "
Lu Sheng sighed: "His move indeed demonstrated his indifference, but the problem is that the Holy One can stay away from him, no longer reuse him, or even be wary of him, but he will definitely not be able to hold him accountable.
The reason is very simple. Among the many battle plans of the imperial court, there are preparations to temporarily abandon the eight border cities, distract the enemy, and lure the emperor into a trap.
Shou'an City is one of the eight cities, so using Shou'an City to consume Ha Yi Zhen's main force is completely within the battle plan. So from this point of view, no matter whether we are happy or not, Sheng Guogong has not disobeyed orders. ! "
"Then there's no way to reason?" Anyu found it hard to accept and couldn't help but raise his voice, "This is so bullying!"
"The imperial court, or in other words, the elders of the cabinet, only look at the results of the war. Which is more important, the victory on the front line or the grievances of Sister Yuan? I'm afraid that not even the Holy Emperor, or the Empress, can openly express her superiority to Sister Yuan in public. Defeating Ajon is more important.”
Lu Sheng looked at Sheng Yuan who was still staring at the lake, and said softly: "It concerns the imperial court and the country. Even if you are the king of a country, sometimes you can't help yourself. After all, not everything can be solved with deep feelings and close connections." Measured.”
"Then, then, then... after I return to Beijing, I'll beat him up!" An Yu was so angry that he scratched his head and scratched his head. After thinking for a long time, he could only vent his anger in this unspeakable way.
The corner of Lu Sheng's mouth trembled, and he said after a while: "...It's okay, as long as you don't let anyone catch you."
"..." Anyu was discouraged, his shoulders drooped, and he depressedly grabbed the fishing rod and patted it towards the lake.
Immediately, the fish that had been queuing up near him and waiting for a meal were so frightened that they ran away!
"Brother Yu!" Sheng Yuan finally felt that the fishing rod was sinking, but with this move, her bait became a gift again!
"I, I just didn't hold the fishing rod!" Seeing Sheng Yuan's angry eyes, Anyu immediately calmed down and hurriedly ran over, "I'll hang the bait for you!"
"Huh!" Sheng Yuan glanced at him.
Lu Sheng was laughing so hard that his shoulders were shaking. If he hadn't been afraid of scaring away the fish he was about to hook, he would have laughed right now.
"Sister Yuan, let me ask you a question, don't be angry!" After Anyu handed the fishing rod to Sheng Yuan, he didn't leave. He simply squatted next to Sheng Yuan'er and chatted. .
"You ask." Sheng Yuan patrolled the lake with sharp eyes for a moment, found a good position, and threw out the fishing rod again.
"It's just... is there a conflict between our father and his eldest brother? Otherwise, why would he target you like that? I think your second uncle, fourth uncle, and fifth uncle may not be able to do such a thing!"
"..." Sheng Yuan thought for a while before she realized that this guy was talking about her father and her uncle.
"Yes, you are his niece. There is no need for him to treat you like this, right?" Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng moved a stool over curiously.
"..." Sheng Yuan looked at these two guys with curious faces speechlessly, wishing they could take a shot at them with the half-empty bucket of bait!
But she was speechless because she really knew their problems.
"In the more than three hundred years since the Chen Dynasty, more than ten generations of Sheng Guogong have made many military exploits, and five of them have been worthy of being crowned kings. Unfortunately, after each of these five wars, after each battle, Sheng Guogong will be dismissed by the court officials. Impeachment for various reasons, in the end, 100% of the credit, only 50% to 60% is left is good.
When I read this period of history, I never felt regretful. Is it so easy to be a prince? Even if it is not suspected, it can be reduced from generation to generation, and in the end, it will still disappear from the world! The proverb is not as comfortable as the hereditary and irreplaceable Duke.
Unfortunately, not every descendant can understand the wisdom of our ancestors, or in other words, not every descendant recognizes it.
My uncle is such a person... He considers himself to be extremely talented. He wants to shine in history and far surpass his ancestors, but unfortunately he has never been able to find the opportunity.
Because of his grandfather's pressure, he was unable to be awarded a title for his meritorious service in the Battle of Tunqi, which he has always regretted.
Now that he has an opportunity to show off his talents, is he willing to repeat the mistakes of his ancestors? He wants complete military merit! He wants to make it impossible for courtiers to impeach! He wants to make kings and princes!
Therefore, even if the people stationed outside Luodu Mountain are not the Duyi Army or the Qin Jin of the Qin family, he will not let me retreat to Luodu Mountain, and will not allow escaping from the battle to be a reason to reduce his credit. "
At the end of Sheng Yuan's words, a hint of sarcasm appeared on her lips: "My uncle, he has been blinded by fame and wealth for a long time. All he thinks about is success. How can he still remember the closeness and distance? Even if it were his eldest sister. Therefore, he will probably choose this way."
