Just when Deng Xing's heart was sinking deeper and deeper, a burst of laughter broke the tranquility of the wedding banquet.
Everyone looked towards the source of the laughter.
"I am a descendant of Bohai. My ancestors suffered hardships and unfortunately I am living outside..."
Lu Shengzhi stood up and looked at Aquina with a smile on his face: "Hey, Zhang Minde, you have made no progress at all after more than fifty years. I heard this story from you in Xuzhou fifty years ago, and I didn't expect to hear it again today.
, but if you want me to express my gratitude to you, I will recite all your words."
"It turns out to be Brother Lu!" Zhang Minde felt that he was losing face. He really planned to tell his life experience again, so that he could also declare his legitimacy as king.
But Lu Shengzhi didn't give him any face.
"It's me, Zhang Minde! Your Majesty's army is outside. You used Xuzhou as an advantage to lure the Northern Yan army south, and carried out such a treasonous act. How can you be a king?"
"Do you know what a king is? Are you worthy of it? I was the first to refuse. When you were young, I knew from looking at you that you would one day die under your ambition. Now that day has come."
The Xuzhou family member looked at Lu Shengzhi and then at Zhang Minde, his eyes constantly wandering around the two of them.
Deng Xing also took a breath. Lu Shengzhi was really rude and did not give Zhang Minde any face, and Zhang Minde was really a careerist.
Thinking that he was just like a fool, Deng Xing couldn't help but feel depressed.
What does King Bohai mean?
Zhang Minde smiled and said: "Brother Lu is a great talent. I have known it for a long time. Now that our Bohai Kingdom has been established, why don't we ask Brother Lu to stay and become an official? If he has great talent, he can become the prime minister."
Lu Shengzhi was furious: "Bah, your Bohai nation is just a barbarian from the Northeast. I am a famous scholar in the Central Plains. Don't you know that the Yi and Di have kings who are not as good as the people of China! You and other barbarian kings are not as good as me, an ordinary Chinese."
Ordinary people, you also deserve to be king for me? How can you be so virtuous?"
Zhang Minde squinted his eyes with murderous intent, but there was a smile on his lips: "Brother Lu, the emperor of Daliang is stupid and immoral. He allowed businessmen to enter the Imperial Academy and treated the aristocratic families like pigs and dogs. Liang Zan went on a killing spree in Shandong, and the aristocratic families wailed, and even looted the aristocratic families.
Brother Lu is giving hundreds or even thousands of women as gifts to the emperor. Can't you see and hear that the dog emperor is tyrannical and unjust, so we are justified in rebelling!"
Lu Shengzhi's fingers trembled with excitement. Liang Zan, this idiot, had done such a thing in Shandong.
He robbed a common girl and gave it to the emperor as a gift, but the court had no news at all.
No, the emperor must have blocked the news. How could Liang Zan dare to do this without the emperor's acquiescence?
So irritating!
Lu Shengzhi was a little weak, but when he saw Zhang Minde's shameless face, he immediately started to puff up.
"That's nonsense. Your Majesty, I love the people like a son, and everyone in Jinling praises me. The aristocratic families are bathed in the grace of my Majesty, and they are harmonious and beautiful. You, a thief, actually slandered your Majesty, you are worthy of death!"
Lu Shengzhi felt guilty. The emperor was really not who he said he was.
But there is no way, now of course I have to praise the emperor and preserve the emperor's beautiful image.
Who made him a minister?
Zhang Minde was also shocked. He looked at Lu Shengzhi dumbfounded and scolded him if he wanted to, "Do you want face?"
If the emperor was as good as you say, why would everyone in the world be cursing him?
What a lie.
But when I thought that I was the King of Bohai, I started to feel ashamed.
Zhang Minde looked at Lu Shengzhi with a smile: "Brother Lu, be careful, I don't blame you for being confused by Zhu Youde, but you can't do the same thing. You need to know that my patience is also limited!"
"Hey, if you dare, kill me to see if the emperor will destroy your nine tribes and send you to hell to reunite with your savage ancestors!"
Lu Shengzhi pointed at Zhang Minde with a sneer: "How can I be afraid of descendants of barbarians like you? Are all Xuzhou families willing to serve as ministers to descendants of barbarians? Do you know the Yan people's attitude towards barbarians?"
At this time, Zhu Youde could no longer scare these Xuzhou aristocratic families, so Lu Shengzhi immediately talked about Beiyan.
"In the past, the barbarians in the north rebelled and Beiyan destroyed their tribe. Emperor Wu of Zhao left a message that if the barbarians became king, they would destroy their tribe. Now you are relying on Beiyan to build a country. If the Han court still has a chance to survive, Zhang Minde
How can the Yan State let him go if he is a descendant of a northern barbarian?"
"Ah, there is such a thing. Lu Gong is lying to us!"
"I have lived through three dynasties. Do you think I have never met Zhao Ping? I would never lie to you!"
Just after Lu Shengzhi finished speaking, some of the aristocratic families in Xuzhou were frightened. After hearing what the other party said, Lu Shengzhi became angry.
Live a long life and experience so much when you are young that it becomes your capital when you are old. He knows things that others don't know.
Looking at the aristocratic families in Xuzhou, Lu Shengzhi is like looking at garbage
"The law of the Chinese Han family is being disrupted, and the whole world is attacking it. The Western Regions are also our Han family's court. However, because Li Yuanchu has Hu ancestry, Daliang in the Central Plains, Yan State in the north, and Tang State in the south do not recognize it. Even if the Western Regions are a big country, this is still the case, Zhang Minde
If a northern barbarian dares to call himself king, you will be the soldiers to chop him to death to uphold the laws of our Han family. This will also contribute to the history of Qing Dynasty."
That’s right!
Countries as big as the Western Regions are looked down upon by the Central Plains countries, but the Bohai State is even more powerful than the Western Regions.
The aristocratic families in Xuzhou looked at Zhang Minde with some changes in their eyes.
Deng Xing was as stunned as a wooden man.
Master Lu was so powerful, he actually made the Xuzhou family hesitate with just one mouth.
Zhang Minde also noticed it and said quickly: "Everyone, you have forgotten Lu Shengzhi's identity. He is Zhu Youde's dog!"
Lu Shengzhi was furious: "I am an important minister of the Han Dynasty, but you, a piece of rubbish, dare to call me by my name. Are you worthy of it? Please kill Zhang Minde quickly. This is a great achievement. I will report back to the emperor to thank everyone!"
The two Jinyi guards who were responsible for protecting Lu Shengzhi were speechless. Didn't they agree that we would kill Zhang Minde to win military honors? What does it mean to let others kill Zhang Minde now?
The bad old man is so bad that he even competed with them for military glory.
The two Jinyi guards saw clearly that Lu Shengzhi had a dark heart. They should have taken action just now when Zhang Minde and Deng Xing were talking.
However, in order to protect Deng Xing, Lu Shengzhi deliberately refused to issue orders and made Zhang Minde the King of Bohai.
The sin becomes greater when you become a king.
However, the credit is still the same, it’s just that a different person was used to kill him. Originally, Deng Xing was going to be killed, but now Zhang Minde was killed.
Deng Xing was a military general, so it was definitely difficult to kill him. Now that it is Zhang Minde, the difficulty of killing people has been reduced a lot.
Lu Shengzhi's words moved the Xuzhou family very much, especially because he exposed Zhang Minde's old background.
Bohai State is a political power established by barbarians, and many of their Xuzhou families are Han families!
Being a minister to the descendants of barbarians means that the coffin of the ancestors cannot be covered. This kind of Han people inherently look down on barbarians. This is the mainstream value.
At that moment, someone said: "Gong Lu, in fact, we have no quarrel with each other. It was Zhang Minde who deceived us... Please help us explain it to us in front of the emperor!"
"It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk. If you want me to speak for you, just chop Zhang Minde to death before you speak." Lu Shengzhi waved his hands and waved his clothes, which really sounded like a fairy.
