Liu Xiang sighed, this Shi A, how can you say good things about him?
Without even saying a word to each other, he traveled two thousand miles just because he admired other people's moral character. It was indeed a heroic spirit. It was not too much to praise a true gentleman, such as "righteousness and thin sky".
However, it was ancient times to take a three-year-old baby on a two-thousand-mile journey. The chance of such a young child surviving was not high.
The fact that the child was taken alone by him meant that his relatives did not agree, and he must have used dishonorable means.
Now that the child has been lost, the relatives at home have no idea how anxious they are, and how many of the servants taking care of the child have been beaten to death?
No one messed with him, it was an unreasonable disaster.
This person doesn't think well, thinks out of his mind, is impulsive, and his logic is different from ordinary people.
Is this the charlatanism?
Disregarding life and death, focusing on commitment, passion and passion?
Acting as a hero, being arbitrary and regardless of gains and losses?
How come the beautiful words written in poems seem so pale and out of place when put into real life?
Liu Xiang sighed again.
"When Lu Gong was in a coma, he uttered the name of his youngest son, and you traveled two thousand miles to fulfill his wish and let him go with peace of mind. Don't you feel that you are particularly loyal and heroic in your heart?
move?"
"Mr. Lang praised me, but I feel ashamed and don't dare to deserve it." Shi A said he was ashamed, but his expression showed a complacent look.
Liu Xiang was speechless, am I praising you?
This guy is incredible, he has a screw up in his head.
Liu Xiang suppressed the anger in her heart and said calmly: "Lu Yu is three years old this year. He is rushing from Youzhou to Luoyang. This journey must be fast and bumpy. Can you take care of the child? A three-year-old baby can survive.
Do you want to live there? Do you want to fulfill Mr. Lu’s wish, or do you want the white-haired man to give the black-haired man to Mr. Lu?”
This time, Shi A finally understood that this was not a compliment to him. This person was talking in roundabout ways and was not at all fluent.
Shi A said stiffly: "It is only natural for a son to be filial to his father."
The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. There was really no way to refute this statement. Liu Xiang did not refute it. He started talking again and said:
"Lu Yu has no one to take care of him. His family doesn't agree, right? If you kidnap someone else's flesh and blood, you should be killed according to the law. In the name of filial piety for others, separation of flesh and blood is not what a gentleman does. Shi Lang is unjust.
ah."
Shi A gave up on himself and said: "I can't defeat you. If I want to kill you or behead you, Shi A will just have to suffer."
Shi A felt aggrieved. Who am I doing this for? Is it for myself that I endure hardships? Lu Zhi’s family did not agree and kicked him out. He deceived him and coaxed the child out, and then tried his best to sneak out of the city and pass through the city.
Cross the battlefield.
I met a kidnapper before and he was so anxious that he almost hanged himself.
Now another family friend has appeared, with many guards and sharp soldiers. Today, I, Shi A, may die here, and I am not willing to accept it.
Shi A's heart was racing. Liu Xiang observed his expression and saw the despair on his face. Knowing that the heat had come and the purpose of disturbing his mind had been achieved, he stopped questioning and said kindly:
"Lang Jun's righteous deed was well-intentioned, but he was a little anxious and things went wrong. I know all these things. How could we harm Mr. Lang's life? That would be an injustice on our part."
"You're not going to kill me?" Shi Adu was ready to die, but now he decided not to kill. He felt relieved and had mixed emotions.
"Shi Lang is a righteous man. How can I kill a righteous man indiscriminately? It's better to just talk about today's matter."
"What is Lu Gong's wish? He is really about to die." Shi A's mood was complicated, but he still did not forget the original intention of coming to Youzhou.
"I have sent people to Luoyang to mediate regarding Gong Lu's matter, and we will definitely be able to rescue Gong Lu from prison." Liu Xiang actually did not know the specific situation of Lu Zhi, and he also had some doubts about whether Huangfu Song could rescue Lu Zhi in the end.
After all, Liu Xiang did not want to be overthrown by Huangfu Song. If the suppression of the rebellion was not completed, no one could say whether Emperor Ling would let Lu Zhi go.
However, Liu Xiang had his own purpose.
Shi A, is it his ability to sneak out of Zhuoxian County? Or is there a secret path? Liu Xiang wants to know.
The problems in Zhuoxian County have been bothering him for a long time. If the problem cannot be solved, Liu Xiang wants to try to see if he can solve the problem.
He wanted to assassinate Wen Shu.
Shi A was very suspicious. He had heard about Liu Xiang's name. He was a rebel. He was said to be able to send people to Luoyang to rescue people?
Liu Xiang had been observing Shi'a's expression, and when he saw the doubt on his face, he guessed what he was thinking, so he smiled calmly and pretended to be proud and said:
"I am the Queen of Changsha, and I am from a royal family. I am not a rebel bandit. I have raised an army to serve as the Qing emperor's side. Naturally, there are people running around in Luoyang, and there are also people with lofty ideals who respond."
The name of a clan member of the Han Dynasty is indeed more pleasant to hear than that of a traitor, and it has a great influence on the lower class people. Shi A's attitude became much more respectful.
He cupped his hands and saluted: "It turns out that he is a member of the Han clan. The common people don't know. It's rude."
Li Yu also saluted beside him.
When Liu Xiang saw Shi A like this, he felt that he would not have the idea of taking action, so he waved his hand and said: "Put away the weapon, it's just a misunderstanding."
All the guards put away their weapons, but were still surrounding them.
Liu Xiang pretended to turn a blind eye and waved to Shi A: "Shi Lang, come over and warm yourself by the fire. Let's sit down and talk."
He also invited Li Yu to join him, and the three of them sat on the wood with their feet down to warm themselves by the fire, just like sitting on a beech bed.
Liu Xiang continued the previous topic and said: "The world is in chaos now because there are villains around your Majesty who are deceiving you, and there are treacherous people in the court who are trying to gain power. This is not okay. If this continues, the country will not be protected.
I am of the bloodline of the Great Ancestor and a descendant of Guangwu Miao. I cannot watch His Majesty being deceived, so I have no patience to raise troops to bring order to the chaos."
Seeing that Shi A could not be moved by these great principles, Liu Xiang continued: "Now His Majesty is enjoying himself in the deep palace, surrounded by a bunch of treacherous villains, making the people miserable. This is not right, this is not how the country is built.
I think back then, Emperor Gaozu raised the army just to let the people live a good life, but now he allows high-ranking officials and dignitaries to squeeze the people? How ashamed of his ancestors.
There are many important matters in the imperial court, but the most important thing is how to manage the people well.
The emperor is the head of the family, in charge of the lives of a group of children. The poor children must find ways to feed them; those with unstable temperaments must be restrained and calmed down; those who bully others and commit crimes
, you have to punish him and let him understand the truth."
Seeing Shi'a and Li Yu both looked enlightened.
Liu Xiang deliberately asked them: "Do you think this is true?"
The two nodded unconsciously. Li Yu was too reserved to speak. Shi A took over the conversation and replied:
"Yes, yes, yes, that's the truth. I have heard about many important events in the court before, but they were all in the fog and I didn't understand anything. Only after listening to Liu Jun's words today did I understand these truths. Liu Jun
There are great talents, and the principles of important affairs of the court will be understood once Liu Jun explains them."
Liu Xiang deliberately lamented and said bitterly: "This is the truth. The high-ranking officials in the court and the powerful families in various prefectures and counties, don't they understand?"
He patted his leg, pretended to be excited, and said loudly: "They all understand, but they have selfish motives. They want to eat more, take more, and occupy more, and they want their children and grandchildren to continue to do this.
The world is so big and there are so many things. If they take too much, what will the people do?"
Liu Xiang looked at Shi A, then at Li Yu, and asked them: "What do you think the people should do?"
Li Yu timidly replied in a low voice: "The people will starve to death."
Shi A seemed to be aroused with pride in his heart, and he said loudly: "Then rebel, you will die anyway, kill one to get enough money, kill two to earn one."
Liu Xiang nodded, stood up, spread his hands, turned around in a circle, looked at them and said: "So, the world has become like this."
