Chapter 403 apprentice fee
Zhang Diwan's face was ashen and he shouted loudly: "Sister, you actually fell out with me for someone who has nothing to do with you? Are you crazy?"
"Unreasonable!" Zhang Ruomei snorted and kept walking.
Fang Zian stretched out his hand to hold Zhang Ruomei and whispered: "Ruomei, let me tell you a few words."
Zhang Ruomei said: "How can you explain why he is so stubborn?"
Fang Zian said softly: "That's your brother, your only relative in the world. I don't want you brother and sister to turn against each other because of the arrival of Master Shi and me."
Zhang Ruomei sighed and said nothing. Fang Zian turned around, bowed his hands to Zhang Diwan and said, "Commander Zhang, Fang Zian is polite."
Zhang Diwan looked at Fang Zian and said solemnly: "Are you Fang Zian? I know you."
Fang Zian smiled and said: "I am also familiar with the name of Commander Zhang. When Ruomei told me about you, she said that you were a great hero and that you led the loyal army to kill the Jin people. I heard the same thing.
Very admired.”
Zhang Diwan glanced at Zhang Ruomei and said in a deep voice: "I don't dare. Killing the Golden Dog is my lifelong ambition. We Zhongyi Army brothers gathered here just to kill the Golden Dog. The imperial court treats the Jin people as their grandsons, and we
It’s inappropriate.”
Fang Zian nodded and said: "Yes, the loyal Eight-Character Army has more backbone than the imperial court. There is no doubt about this. Ruomei said, you have loved her very much since childhood. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. After Zhang Tongzhi was killed by a traitor, you guys
You and your sister are the only two people in the Zhang family who depend on each other for life. You are supposed to love each other and help and take care of each other. I don't want to turn your brother and sister against each other because of our arrival. It is inappropriate both emotionally and rationally."
Zhang Diwan said in a deep voice: "It's good that you know. If you are sensible, you should advise her not to quarrel with me."
Fang Zian nodded and said: "I will advise her. However, I also have some doubts. I hope Commander Zhang can give me some advice."
Zhang Diwan said coldly: "What do you want to say?"
Fang Zian said: "Just now I listened to Commander Zhang's words, and it seemed that he was extremely dissatisfied with the imperial court. It sounds to me that the reason is nothing more than hatred of the country and the family. You feel that the imperial court is incompetent, and you hate that Commander Zhang died unjustly, so you want to
You have to draw a clear line between yourself and the imperial court, and you hate people coming from the south, and you don’t want to have anything to do with them, right?"
Zhang Diwan said in a deep voice: "Didn't you hear this very clearly? That's exactly what happened. What did the imperial court do? Half of the country in the Song Dynasty fell into the hands of the Golden Dog. The shame of Jingkang has not been averted yet. Not only does the imperial court not want to take revenge,
I hated you, but you surrendered to the Jin people, made humiliating peace, and found peace for a while. A loyal minister was killed by a traitor, Marshal Yue, Young Master Yue, and my father served the country with all their hearts. What ended up in the end? In such a court, I have thousands of enemies.
What else is there to say to them?"
Fang Zian nodded and said: "What you said, Commander Zhang, is right. The things you mentioned are exactly what many people in the Song Dynasty feel. However, Commander Zhang does not have to hate all the officials and people of the Song Dynasty because of this. According to me,
As we know, there are some knowledgeable people in the imperial court. They have been working hard to regain the lost territory. There are also ordinary people, they have no fault. They are not the ones who make the decision."
Zhang Diwan said coldly: "
Are you saying that you are different from them? As far as I know, you are an envoy to Yanjing. At best, you are envoys, at worst, you are here to beg for mercy for the imperial court. You are all the same.
What I despise the most is weaklings like you. Aren’t you ashamed?”
Fang Zian smiled bitterly and said, "How did you know that we are here to grovel and beg for mercy from the Kingdom of Jin?"
Zhang Diwan said: "Then you still need to ask? I don't know the virtues of the imperial court? Could it be that you are here to declare a challenge?"
Fang Zian smacked his lips and said, "That's not true."
Zhang Diwan sneered and said: "Of course I know not. Does the imperial court have the courage? Does it have the bloodiness? Do they dare to fight the Jin people? If the court had even the slightest bloodiness, how could it be like this situation today?"
Fang Zian pondered: "But Commander Zhang and the brothers of the Zhongyi Eight Character Army are all hot-blooded men, but they don't know why they are hiding in the Taihang Mountains and can't go out to fight the Jin people?"
Zhang Di was stunned and stared at Fang Zian fiercely: "Are you laughing at us?"
Fang Zian said: "I don't dare, I'm just asking. Commander Zhang thinks that with the current strength of the Zhongyi Army, can it still compete with the Jin people? If they can't even get out of the Taihang Mountains, then the value of the Zhongyi Army's existence will be lost.
Where? If this situation continues, where is the way out for the Zhongyi Army? If he hides in the Taihang Mountains forever, wouldn't he really become a mountain king and a mountain bandit? If he becomes a bandit, will he be worthy of the Zhongyi Army's sincere heart?
What’s the purpose of serving the country and swearing to kill the golden thief?”
Zhang Diwan shouted coldly: "Fang Zian, don't think that because you saved my sister, I will be polite to you. Your words have insulted our loyal army. Do you believe it or not, I will kill you all."
Fang Zian shook his head and said: "You can't do it. We are not gold thieves. If you kill us, you are not violating your oath. My words are not meant to humiliate Commander Zhang. I just remind Commander Zhang that you are a loyal member of the Eight-Character Army.
The commander, who shoulders important responsibilities, should act with careful and long-term considerations rather than acting on impulse. You are the enemy of the country and the family, so you are dissatisfied with the court and have resistance to the officials of the Song Dynasty. This is understandable. But these emotions cannot be
What benefits have you brought to the Zhongyi Army? Even if you have no contact with the imperial court, you can't help the Zhongyi Army open up the situation, win the initiative and turn around. Is that right? "
Zhang Diwan sneered and said: "So what? Our loyal soldiers are not afraid of death. Even if they fight until every soldier is killed and their blood is spilled on the battlefield, they will not bend the knee to the Jin people and become their slaves."
Fang Zian nodded and said: "Though the words are good, but apart from being embarrassing, what will happen? Zhang Tongzhi's revenge will be avenged because of this? The shame of the Song Dynasty will be avenged? The brothers of the Zhongyi Army are not worthy.
To have victory? You must use your life to win the respect of others? Can't you live to see a bright future?"
Zhang Diwan looked at Fang Zian angrily, but for a moment he didn't know how to answer Fang Zian's words.
"Commander Zhang, the real heroes are those who take the overall situation into consideration and serve the country and the people. They are not those who insist on going their own way and are stubborn. They rush forward with their heads down and die together with the enemy. Although they are brave, they are not the same.
kind of stupid behavior
Because. Under the current situation of the Song Dynasty, what we need is not hatred and division, but the unity of all those who serve the country loyally, turn things around, eradicate treacherous ministers, bring order to the chaos, and let the Song Dynasty stand up again. That is ours.
Responsibility. It is not self-defeating and self-motivated, regardless of the overall situation. You are also a loyal person. Zhang Tongzhi has a spirit in the sky. He does not want you to become a reckless man who betrays the Song Dynasty, but hopes that you will inherit his legacy.
Avenge the shame of the Song Dynasty and save the people of the Song Dynasty from the fire and water." Fang Zian said in a deep voice.
Zhang Diwan sneered and said: "What you said is plausible. Tell me, the emperor is in power and the traitor is in power. What have you done to the Jin people? What can you do?"
Fang Zian said sternly: "When the faint king is in power, overthrow him and install a new king! When the treacherous ministers are in power, eliminate them and restore the great power of the Song Dynasty! This is what we should do."
Zhang Diwan and others looked at Fang Zian in shock. These words came from the mouth of a court official, and they were already treasonous words. Fang Zian actually shouted out loud, which was really surprising.
"Commander Zhang, you don't even know the inside story and the reason why Mr. Shi and I came to the Kingdom of Jin, so you turned us away. Isn't this a wise move? In fact, the reason why I came here is not because I want to make peace with you.
Commander Zhang, you are saying this, I am here for Ruomei. You just said that Ruomei is going against you for outsiders, but you are wrong. To tell you the truth, Ruomei is my wife, and we have already married."
Fang Zian said softly.
"What?" Zhang Diwan shouted in shock. Everyone around him was also shocked.
"Ruomei...what's going on? Is what he said true?" Zhang Diwan said in shock.
Zhang Ruomei's face turned red and she nodded: "What Fang Lang said is true. I did worship heaven and earth with Fang Lang. I am his wife."
Zhang Diwan murmured: "No wonder... no wonder... a brother in the army pursued you, but you sternly rejected him. It turns out you are already married."
Zhang Ruomei said softly: "Yes, I am already the wife of the Fang family, how can I marry someone else? The reason why I didn't tell my brother is because... I don't know if I can see Fang Lang again in this life. Fang Lang originally asked to stay
Me, I insisted on coming to find my brother, just to help him and to do something together with him. But now, I know that I am not needed here at all. My brother does not need me either. I am with me
It is only natural for husband and wife to leave together."
Zhang Diwan shook his head and said: "I see, that's it. Why didn't you tell me earlier? He is your husband, and he is a family. How could I not let him enter the camp? We have been arguing for a long time, and we are just a family."
What else can you say? Let them cross the bridge quickly."
Fang Zian said in astonishment: "Can I cross the bridge and enter the camp?"
Zhang Diwan said: "Of course, you are my brother-in-law."
Fang Zian rolled his eyes and talked for a long time about the love of family and country, but he was no match for the identity of a brother-in-law. If he had known this, there would be no need to waste words like that. Fang Zian was originally worried that if he told Zhang Ruomei
