The purpose of Shen Gai's words was to let Zhang Shi know that what he did was not worth it, to let Zhang Shi know that the Southern Song Dynasty was not worthy of a "loyal person" like him, and then to persuade Zhang Shi to go with him.
But the effect of these words was obviously too strong, and it successfully aroused Zhang Shi's deep hatred for the Southern Song Dynasty.
Hatred based on ideas, hatred based on family blood, hatred based on class emotions, etc.
Zhang Shi believed that he must stay and let this decadent and dilapidated country die as soon as possible.
It's not decent, so you have to help it be decent.
So he decided to continue to work hard to get more bureaucratic escape routes, give them a heavy blow, and let them spit out everything and go to hell.
Including Shen Gai.
Now that the performance has started, let's continue the performance and see who of the two of us can play who!
Ever since he decided to become a member of the Renaissance, Zhang Shi has been honing his acting skills, and has successfully moved from local to central roles, from an insignificant official to the important position of Privy Councilor. After years of honing his acting skills, he has I am very confident in my acting skills.
He calmed down and started the show.
"It is precisely because of this that I feel sorry and hateful! In the face of the great Song Dynasty, there is not even a single person who is willing to stand up in the face of the danger of annihilation of the country! Finally, one person appears, and he is actually killed by one of his own people. This Who was at fault?"
Zhang Shi pretended to look sad and stared at Shen Gai with red eyes: "Is it wrong to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic? Is it wrong to serve the country and the people wholeheartedly? If it is wrong, then who is the person who said this? If not Wrong, why did my father die tragically?
I do not understand! I don't understand! I don’t know what’s wrong with Da Song Dynasty! Why did the Song Dynasty fall to this point? Why? The majestic Song Dynasty! The majestic Song Dynasty! No one is willing to stand up and live and die with it! Why! "
Shen Gai was stunned on the spot by Zhang Shi's response, and it took him a long time to recover.
This sudden emotional outburst really caught Shen Gai a little off guard. In his impression, Zhang Shi did not look like such a person, which made him feel a strong sense of violation.
But the emotion in these words and the look in his eyes made Shen Gai a little confused.
It's really not easy to pretend to this extent, and when it comes to his father Zhang Jun... there's no need for him to pretend.
The logic in these words is self-consistent. If he really thinks this way, it is definitely not impossible.
However, Shen Gai still didn't believe it.
Because he didn't think that a senior official of the Song Dynasty was actually willing to die for the country.
Aren't those who can achieve this position selfishly planning for themselves?
I have worked so hard and risked my life to sit in this position, is it just to die for the country at a critical moment?
He actually has such an awareness...
Thinking about the senior officials of the Song Dynasty that I had come into contact with on a daily basis, except for his father Zhang Jun, there were really few who had such a consciousness.
Is he really an official of the Song Dynasty?
Or is this a family inheritance?
Shen Gai was puzzled and could only respond vaguely.
"Jingfu, you...do you really think so?"
"Yes, that's what I think! I just can't figure it out! When the country is in crisis, a group of people want to escape instead of saving it! Insects! They are all insects! They are worse than trash!"
Zhang Shi said angrily: "The Song Dynasty used such generous salaries to support them. In the end, they raised a group of corrupt worms, which brought a mess to the good country! It has reached the point of no return, and they want to directly Run away!
They have taken advantage of all the good things, so what should Song Dynasty do? What to do with millions of people? My father sacrificed his life for the Song Dynasty. Do I, the son, have to watch the Song Dynasty that he sacrificed his life for be destroyed like this? No! I can not! "
Zhang Shi slapped the table as he spoke. He was so excited that his eyes were red and he was about to cry.
Shen Gai's emotions at this moment were very complicated.
On the one hand, he felt that what Zhang Shi said was reasonable.
But on the other hand, he didn't expect Zhang Shi to be an idealist.
In their previous interactions, he felt that Zhang Shi was a pragmatist who had a certain pursuit of power, but not a strong one. He held an army but did not further expand his political power, so his initial fear of him gradually faded away. Intense.
However, he did not expect that Zhang Shi, a pragmatist, actually hid his idealistic nature.
He actually thought about these truths that everyone knew but could never happen.
It is true that if the court were full of people like this, the Song Dynasty would certainly not have reached this point, but the key point is, how could this be possible?
Everyone wants to reap benefits and get more benefits for themselves. Who cares about this country?
To put it bluntly, this country does not belong to them, but to the emperor of the Zhao family. The Zhao family said that they share the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, so why don't they hand over the throne and share it with everyone?
This is the country of the Zhao Guan family. Everyone is just a tool of the Zhao Guan family. There is no hope of being a master. In this case, why not get more benefits for yourself while you are still a tool?
Anyway, everything belongs to Zhao Guan's family in the end. If you don't seek benefits for yourself, why should you seek benefits for Zhao Guan's family?
Stupid men and women are illiterate and don't understand this truth, so don't they, the elites, also understand it?
Are the Zhang family father and son really loyal and patriotic people inherited from their family?
Is it really a special case among special cases?
Shen Gai looked at Zhang Shi. Looking left and right, he couldn't see anything strange. The only thing that was different...
Shen Gai suddenly remembered that Zhang Shi did not enter the official position through the imperial examination, but entered the official position through his family.
So he gradually felt that he could understand Zhang Shi's thoughts.
If you have not experienced ten years of hard study and the fierce struggle of thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, you will not know what kind of torture the imperial examination has brought to the scholars. After experiencing such torture and struggling hard, the victory is achieved. A person is often not an idealist.
Their ideals have long since been consumed by endless involution.
But Zhang Shi is not.
Zhang Shi has never taken an imperial examination. He studied until he was twenty-five and taught until he was thirty. He has always been swimming in the ocean of knowledge. Living in an ivory tower, the only thing that can be regarded as a blow is also It was the death of his father Zhang Jun.
However, Zhang Jun's death did not implicate his family. Zhao Shen felt guilty and even appointed Zhang Jun, who had fled to Lin'an, as a mid-level official after the Ming army marched south to Changsha, which was tantamount to reaching the sky in one step.
Relying on the opportunity that his father Zhang Jun "won" for him, he entered the officialdom in a relatively easy way. Later, he relied on the merits of the coup to easily ascend to a high position.
When he became the Privy Councilor, he was only thirty-two years old, comparable to Kou Zhun who became the Privy Councilor at the age of thirty.
He has not experienced too many blows, has not suffered from involution, and has easily reached a high position, with the brilliance of idealism still in his heart.
The average old bureaucrat who rose to a high position by luck was already very old. He had seen all the ugliness in the world, either his crimes were heinous or he had seen through the world of mortals. He just wanted to live a peaceful life and had no motivation.
Therefore, Shen Gai began to want to believe Zhang Shi. This idealistic lunatic really wanted to live and die with the city of Hangzhou.
So he decided to go into something a little deeper.
"Jingfu, there are some things that I think I won't say, but you should understand. I will just say one thing. You want to stand with Zhao Guan's family, but Zhao Guan's family doesn't think your surname is Zhao. Do you want to be named Zhao? Do you deserve the surname Zhao? ?
Not just you? None of us are worthy. We are just tools of the Zhao Guan family. The Zhao Guan family has never regarded us as the same people. In this case, why should we die for him? Think clearly, dear husband, this is not worth it. "
Of course it was not worth it for Zhao Song, but for Ming Dynasty, it was worth it. Ming Dynasty was not the Zhao Dynasty.
Zhang slandered.
Of course he understands this.
He knew early on that the Zhao Guan family would not let their surname be Zhao, so he would not die for Da Song. He just wanted to watch Da Song die with his own eyes, and then spit on Da Song's corpse.
Shen should let him go, wouldn't he just not even give him a chance to spit?
This is not okay.
"I understand what my husband said, but...my husband, please don't persuade me anymore. I have my own ideas. After all, if we all leave, who will command the army? There are no people like us to command the army. The army They will only surrender in an instant, and they won’t even be able to buy us time to escape.”
Zhang Shi smiled bitterly: "Escape also takes time. If we all leave, do you believe that the army will surrender immediately and then turn around and chase us? You must have not found anyone willing to stay in Hangzhou yet, right? ?”
