Chapter 383, merciless request!
Chapter 383, unhappy request!
Military power is more important than imperial power, this is the debate topic in the quiet water condensation tonight.
Li Muyang and the others had just arrived home, and Lu Qingming already knew the content of the debate. If there were no people from the Lu family in the quiet water dew, Li Muyang would not believe it.
Of course, Song Tao or the second prince Chu Jiang, who thought that this debate topic was directly raised, did not think of hiding it.
Moreover, Li Muyang thought about it all the way, and Chu Jiang raised such a controversial topic in public, which must have a profound meaning. Do you want to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, or do you want to see the direction of the wind?
It is also possible that both are available.
Now that Lu Qingming is not sleeping in the middle of the night, he is invited to ask the answer to this question. What is the significance? Can his own choice affect the political direction of this empire?
Li Muyang walked to Lu Qingming, bowed deeply to him, and said, "Military power is all for civil rights. Soldiers stationed on the border, and immediately stood on their horses to ensure the safety of the country and the country. Imperial power is at the center, educated all the people, and make the people have food and clothing, and have happiness and health. Without military power, there are foreign enemies who may invade the frontier, lose their territory, and lose their land. Without imperial power, warlords will sever their rule, bandits will be rampant, and wars will continue to fight, and the people will be unable to cover their clothes and cannot fill their stomachs."
Li Muyang asked back and said, "Military power and imperial power complement each other, and it is originally one. What is the most important? What is the least? "
Lu Qingming agreed and nodded and said, "Yes. Sheep is a sensible person."
"Others don't understand?"
"Of course others understand." Lu Qingming said with a smile. He invited Li Muyang to climb the pavilion, handed over a glass of strong wine in his hand, and said, "I walked half a night and drank a glass of wine to warm my body."
"Thank you Uncle Lu." Li Muyang took the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass in one go.
Lu Qingming filled Li Muyang with a cup and said with a smile: "Who is not the most intelligent person in the world who can climb to this position? I have been immersed in the officialdom for many years, and there is something they can't understand? It's just that they don't want to understand. Whether it is military power or imperial power, or any other rights, the most important thing is to see who the person in power is, and whose rights are in your hands - in your hands, that is naturally light. In your own hands, that is naturally heavy."
Li Muyang frowned slightly and said, "Uncle Lu, the second prince raised such a debate topic in public. What does this mean?"
"First, observe the wind. The quiet water condensation is a gathering of elegant gatherings of children from Tiandu. To a certain extent, they can replace their family. The second prince threw out this issue to observe the wind direction and see everyone's attitude towards the Xifeng Chu family."
"Second, try the water. Still water condensation is just an informal gathering of powerful people, but the content of the gathering will soon be passed back through the mouths of the children of various families. At this time, the families who received the news must have begun to discuss the friendship between the sidelines."
"Third, Minglei. The second prince Chu Jiang has already said so clearly. The emperor's power is more important, so he is naturally criticizing the Lu family for holding military power. He raises a sword high above the Lu family's head. If the Lu family is smart enough, they should surrender at this time and hand over all the military power in their hands."
Lu Qingming drank the wine in his glass and said in a deep voice: "This afternoon, the emperor summoned the Military Affairs Office and several old ministers to gather in the Hall of Health. It is said that the old man from the Song family who rarely stepped into the city also attended the meeting. All the eunuchs in the hall were eliminated, leaving only the chief general Li Fu to serve. The second prince Chu Jiang rushed to Jingshui Condensation after attending the meeting and raised such a question."
Li Muyang couldn't help but start to worry about the Lu family. So many people would kill the Lu family, even the king of this huge empire. Can the Lu family withstand it?
"If the Lu family can't stand it, should I run away with my parents and sisters first - isn't this too unauthentic?"
Li Muyang never thought that he would be involved in this level of struggle, nor did he expect that such a thing would endanger the lives of his parents and family.
Li Muyang felt very wronged. He was just an ordinary starry sky student. Why was life so difficult?
"Uncle Lu, are they going to do it?" Li Muyang asked.
"Maybe." Lu Qingming nodded and said with a hesitant look.
"Lu family - can it withstand it?" Li Muyang asked softly. "They occupy the righteousness. If they acted hard, would the Lu family be more passive?"
"This was originally a war of defeat but not victory." Lu Qingming did not hide anything in front of Li Muyang and said frankly: "It's just a matter of how much you lose but less you lose."
"How much is the loss?"
"It's all over the place and uprooted."
"How much is the loss?"
"They were all caught in one shot, and the torso was cut."
"Is there no way?"
"Yes." Lu Qingming said: "As they wished, hand over all the military power. My father went to the palace to apologize, and the Lu family retreated to the Fengcheng."
Li Muyang knew that the Lu family started in Fengcheng. After generations of efforts, they fought on the battlefield and fought bloody battles, and eventually grew into a family that was important to the entire empire.
The Lu family's ancestral home is still in Fengcheng, and the Lu family in Tiandu often sends people back to visit. If the Lu family retreats to Fengcheng, thousands of years of hard work will be gone, and countless ancestors' efforts will become meaningless.
This is indeed a difficult choice. If I were the head of the Lu family, Lu Xingkong, I would probably not give up the rights in my hands easily.
Besides, if you hand over the military power, you will lose the ability to protect yourself. At that time, people will be the ones who serve as the knife and the fish, kill or cut, and let others slaughter them.
Li Muyang had talked about this topic with Mr. Lu Xingkong before, so naturally he would not do stupid things like persuading them to delegate power at this time. Do the Lu family give up their power? Do the Lu family and their direct descendants rely on their own protection?
Success is a king and defeat is a bandit, this is a bloody idiom.
"The Lu family always has some counterattack, right?" Li Muyang said.
"That's natural." Lu Qingming nodded and said. "Even if you know that things cannot be done, you still need to make some efforts. You need to let people know the value of your existence, so that those people will truly value you, care about you, and fear you."
Li Muyang nodded. Everyone understands this principle. But now everyone is staring at the Lu family’s fat piece. What kind of things should the Lu family do to make those people truly afraid?
"rebel?"
Such words suddenly appeared in Li Muyang's heart.
He became a little nervous and thought, the Lu family would not be self-respecting, and wanted to pull Xifeng Chu off the horse, right?
If the Lu family succeeded, who would become the emperor at that time?
If the Lu family fails, at that time, I should find a way to escape with my family.
He looked up at Lu Qingming, trying to see some clues from Lu Qingming's eyes. However, Lu Qingming looked calm and showed no flaws.
Seeing Lu Qingming sip the wine in the glass again, Li Muyang couldn't help but persuade: "Uncle Lu, drink less wine."
When he returned to Tiandu, Li Muyang loved this elder who lived with the guards and cared for him very much. Li Muyang always felt that his eyes were strange when he looked at him, but it was because he saved his life.
Moreover, Li Muyang knew that Lu Qiji was his daughter. If he was observing all the way and then letting himself marry his daughter, it would be impossible.
Lu Qingming looked at Li Muyang with a fascination, and after a long time, he sighed softly, saying, "It's not a problem. The soldiers on the frontier like to drink, because there is no entertainment there besides drinking and fighting. Besides, Yundian is cold, and if you don't drink some wine and warm it up, ordinary soldiers will be unable to resist the coldness of the winter night. I often drink a few glasses with them, and I have developed a good amount of alcohol."
“Is the frontier very bitter?”
"It's so miserable." Lu Qingming grinned. He said such a heavy thing in such a relaxed tone and tone. Li Muyang did not feel that the work was easy, but could better understand his mood at this moment.
As the eldest young master of the Lu family and the only heir to power, if he is selfish, he can live a more comfortable and comfortable life. He even chose the civil servant path and was not willing to leave with some children of aristocratic families. I believe Mr. Lu had no choice but to do anything to him.
However, he chose the path that his father, his grandfather, and countless ancestors of the Lu family had taken.
He joined the army and was always stationed on the border of the west wind, facing the fierce and powerful enemy soldiers.
Blow the coldest wind, drink the strongest wine, and kill the fiercest enemy-
Li Muyang looked at Lu Qingming with a sincere face and said, "Uncle Lu, what can I help with? You also know that I can do something--"
"The next day is my father's birthday." Lu Qingming said.
"Huh?" Li Muyang looked confused and thought, is there any connection between these two things? Or is he trying to kill some important person at Mr. Lu's birthday party?
"I have a heartless request, can I——" Lu Qingming felt a little embarrassed.
"Uncle Lu, Lu Li was originally a family, and our family has taken care of the Lu family. If you have any questions, just talk. I, Li Muyang, will never retreat." Li Muyang said loudly. He thought the matter was too difficult and dangerous, so Lu Qingming was embarrassed to raise it.
Lu Qingming looked into Li Muyang's eyes and said, "Can you - please give your father a birthday gift?"
"This?" Li Muyang widened his eyes. What is this requirement?
"Please." Lu Qingming said in a deep voice, looking extremely serious.
Li Muyang was completely confused.
The wealthy Lu family actually asked me, a common student, for gifts?
