Lu Shengzhi was shocked and dumbfounded. He did not see any signs of rebellion in Xuzhou.
Deng Xing and Deng Yu from the Deng family are both in the camp. Is this going to be a reverse trend?
"Your Majesty, please do not make unreasonable speculations that will chill the hearts of your ministers. The Deng family has always been extremely loyal in guarding Xuzhou. Madam Deng Yu and General Deng Xing of Zhenbei are now in the camp. How can we start talking about this?"
Zhu Youde sighed and looked at Lu Shengzhi, "You are the only civil servant who thinks that others are royal fans."
Zhu Youde sat down and leaned on the back of his chair and said, "Sir, how do you think the imperial court has treated Xuzhou in the past few decades?"
Lu Shengzhi shook his head: "I can't say it's good, nor can I say it's bad."
Zhu Youde shook his head. Before he came to Xuzhou, he had read all the memorials about Xuzhou. During the reign of the late emperor, memorials from Xuzhou were often sent to the capital. When he became emperor, there were far fewer memorials from Xuzhou. It seemed that Xuzhou had no intention of reporting to the imperial court.
I don't want to communicate anymore.
From the beginning they asked for all kinds of things, but in the end they had no desires or demands. If the court gave them military rations, they would accept it. If they didn't, they would make no fuss.
When Zhu Youde ascended the throne, officials from all over the country were supposed to come to congratulate him, but Xuzhou did not do so, and no gifts were sent to him.
My cheap father suffered a defeat in Xuzhou. Almost all the local young people in Xuzhou died, and every local household hung white flags. In order to please Beiyan, the Prime Minister Wenchangjun of the late emperor's time also kidnapped folk women from Xuzhou and gave them to Beiyan.
Countless people died tragically after playing with it.
The land of Xuzhou is full of anger towards the court of Daliang.
So when he arrived in Xuzhou, Zhu Youde did not enter the city but stationed his army outside the city.
He came to Xuzhou this time to take over military power, disband the Xuzhou army, and use the imperial army and horses to guard Xuzhou.
The best way is to solve the Xuzhou problem through political means, and Zhu Youde is not willing to go to war.
"But I suspect that Deng Yu is plotting against me!"
Zhu Youde looked at Lu Shengzhi and said: "The imperial court is not good to Xuzhou, at least not very good. The imperial court should have ignored Xuzhou over the years. Xuzhou has never been mentioned in the court. Why, because this place is
The place where the late emperor suffered a defeat was a place of national humiliation in Daliang. The late emperor's daily life records say that the soldiers and people of Xuzhou were afraid of war, which led to the failure of the battle. The fault lies with Xuzhou and not with the late emperor."
Lu Shengzhi was stunned and said quickly: "The emperor is not guilty!"
Zhu Youde sneered and said: "How can the emperor be innocent? It is obvious that the late emperor was incompetent and insisted on starting a war with Beiyan. Of course, the late emperor wanted to take back Shanhaiguan, which is right, but he should not have marched rashly. This was the late emperor's crime. The emperor once
It is the late emperor's fault to be angry and affect the people. If Shanhaiguan is lost, our main beam will be without vital points, and Beiyan can go south to the Central Plains at any time."
"The late emperor is guilty, I said, you don't need to cover up for the royal family." Zhu Youde said.
Lu Shengzhi was shocked, Emperor, are you serious?
But as the son of the late emperor, Zhu Youde's comments about the dead emperor were very inconsistent with the etiquette of this era.
How could the emperor be guilty?
What should you do if you ask a minister to do this? The emperor is guilty, and the minister is even more guilty and deserves to die.
Lu Shengzhi thought for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty is wise."
"Why do you have to say such nonsense? I am not a wise man, and no one can. I came to the north to solve Xuzhou's problems. It is true that the royal family owes Xuzhou, but this is not the reason why Xuzhou can rebel."
Lu Shengzhi nodded, this is correct.
You can express your grievances, but it's your fault for rebelling.
Since Zhu Youde was suspicious, Lu Shengzhi immediately supported this idea.
Although Xuzhou hasn't rebelled yet, it will happen just in case.
"Your Majesty wants me to go to Xuzhou and learn about the situation in Xuzhou."
"Yes, sir, are you willing? This trip will be very dangerous."
"I am willing to go." Lu Shengzhi said: "I am going to visit the four families with my belongings. Your Majesty plans to marry Mrs. Deng Yu. I will come to propose marriage on your behalf."
"Okay, you can use the materials in the camp at will and handle the matter in a glorious manner for everyone in the world to see."
After Lu Shengzhi left, Wang Zhonghou came in and shook his head with Zhu Youde: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Deng Yu refused to stay with her at night, saying that it was inconsistent with etiquette and law."
"No surprise!" Zhu Youde smiled and walked out of the tent, "Is Deng Yu still there?"
"Your Majesty, Madam Deng Yu is still here, but General Zhenbei has gone back!"
Zhu Youde smiled and asked about the tent where Deng Yu was, and went directly to find Deng Yu. Wang Zhonghou didn't even let him follow.
What's the point of bringing a eunuch with you?
Wang Zhonghou was extremely anxious, but Zhu Youde did not allow him to follow: "Mrs. Deng Yu, are you going to go out for a walk?"
Deng Yu walked out of the tent, and Zhu Youde's eyes lit up. Deng Yu, dressed as his daughter, was really beautiful.
He is wearing a simple blue cotton robe, with an outstanding temperament.
"I have met His Majesty."
A black hair fell behind her and she couldn't clean it up. It grew to her waist.
Her hair is really long and reaches her waist.
Zhu Youde felt a little sour, you said with your looks and figure, why do you need to kill me?
"Accompany me to climb the mountain!"
Deng Yu was startled. Zhu Youde had turned around and turned his back to her. After a slight start, Deng Yu quickly followed.
Zhu Youde's camp was at the foot of the mountain, with a hill behind him. Zhu Youde kept walking in front of Deng Yu, holding his hands behind his back and never looking back.
But Wang Zhonghou was not seen next to Zhu Youde, and Deng Yu was very surprised.
Shouldn't Wang Zhonghou follow Zhu Youde at all times?
She looked around and saw no figure of Wang Zhonghou, and even Zhu Youde had no guards around him.
Zhu Youde was also a martial arts student. It was natural to climb mountains. He soon reached the top of the mountain. The camps at the foot of the mountain turned into yurts, stretching as far as the eye could see. Hundreds of thousands of troops and horses lined up along the river and at the foot of the mountain in a royal style.
When they reached the top of the mountain, Zhu Youde remained silent. His back was turned to Deng Yu, the mountain breeze was blowing. Deng Yu looked at her hands. As long as she took action now and Wang Zhonghou was not around, Zhu Youde would be dead.
Then she can avenge her father and the people of Xuzhou.
But Deng Yu hesitated at this moment.
Suddenly, I heard Zhu Youde say: "Why don't you kill me!"
Deng Yu looked at Zhu Youde in surprise. Zhu Youde still didn't look back. He turned his back to her and said a faint voice: "You can't kill someone just by looking at your hands. I gave you a chance, why don't you do it?"
"You...you deliberately asked me to accompany you to climb the mountain because you wanted me to kill you? Are you testing me?"
"My beautiful lady, why are you a thief?"
Zhu Youde smiled and said: "I am not a fool. I can still tell the difference between a beauty trap and a flesh-and-blood trap. Everyone in the world knows that I am a womanizer. Naturally, I cannot handle a stunning woman like you. The first time I look at you, I want to
I want you, but I can clearly tell who is sincere and who is fake. I have been among thousands of flowers and have a lot of experience in women's hearts."
