Chapter 1510 Establishing the heart for the world, establishing the life for the people, and establi
In the past, all the brothers present, including Xiao Tang, had never seen Lu Zhishen, who only called himself Sajia in the village, and was straight-forward and fiery in nature. He was so humble to anyone. It seemed that although he had already joined the Green Forest Xiaoju,
Because he was the first to join the army under the command of Lao Zhong Xianggong in Yan'an Prefecture in his early years, he still regarded Zhong Shidao as a benefactor who helped him.
At this time, Lao Zhong's eyes narrowed and he cast his gaze on Lu Zhishen, who was still lying on the ground. After a moment, he suddenly showed a slightly tired smile: "If you hadn't still had the same voice and spirit as before, I would have
I almost don’t recognize you Ruda! I heard earlier that you were involved in a life-threatening lawsuit and fled. It turned out that you went to Mount Wutai to be tonsured. You must have also disturbed the pure land of Buddhism, because you have no wine or meat, and you are not happy.
If you have an acute and strong temper, you will definitely not be able to keep the rules and regulations, so how can you be a ascetic monk? I am afraid that the headmaster of the Wutai Mountain Pagoda Temple will be troubled because of you!"
Xiao Tang saw Master Zhong still making jokes when he met Lu Zhishen again, and he didn't seem to be angry because the general he had once planned to reuse had left. However, Mr. Zhong still looked at Lu Zhishen, and suddenly
He changed the subject and said: "You are originally a soldier from Kansai, and all your skills are needed to guard the border and protect your country. I also knew that you were upright and strong, so I was willing to enlighten you."
Ruda fought for a career in the army and could be used by the country...Although you fled after killing people and went to the green forest to do the things of fighting against the imperial court, now that you have made great achievements in rescuing the Holy Emperor, you are now forgiven.
The crime of killing someone and turning into a bandit... If I want to join you Ruda and get an important position in the Western Army in Bianting, would you be willing?"
Lu Zhishen was silent for a moment when he heard the words, but he quickly stood up and said with a hearty smile: "Thank you for your kindness, but this doesn't mean that I must part ways with my brother and all the brothers? What if I am so treacherous and repeatable?"
How could such a villain be valued by my old husband back then? I have not repaid the kindness of my husband, and I feel guilty for not repaying my kindness. However, if I am still a general bound by military law, when I encounter a traitor who bullies men and dominates women.
If the government can't help, they will still kill those birds! And together with a group of brave brothers, they can carry out their heroic righteousness. This important task of resisting foreign invaders and protecting the country and the people can still be done, even if the grass is falling and the forest is green.
, I feel at ease and have never had any regrets!”
"That's it... you, Ruda, are such a person. You can't be restrained by Buddhist rules, and you can't obey the many conventional rules in this world... Since you have a clear conscience, why should you apologize to me?
?”
Master Zhong sighed, and then said: "Since I already knew your character, you committed a life-threatening lawsuit back then, and it was also a righteous act to eliminate violence and bring peace to society. With your stubbornness and unwillingness to obey and survive, I will not blame you."
...Although you are so brave and brave, the army can seize the commander, but a man cannot seize the will. So I am not surprised that you Ruda did what you did..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Shidao looked at Xiao Tang again: "But I never expected that little friend Xiao Tang, who originally wanted to rebel against the imperial court, led all the green forest soldiers and horses to defeat the Jin invaders, rescued the Holy Emperor, and accomplished such a wonderful feat.
.Now you and I can still see each other as our colleague Pao Ze... If it hadn't been for the timely rescue of my little friend, the second emperor and even the Song Dynasty clan and royal family would have been captured by foreign invaders.
It’s difficult, but I have wasted my time in leading the Western armies that have defended the Western Frontier of the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years. They have experienced Yanyun’s defeat before, and are already too old to do anything. I feel very ashamed..."
When the trembling Zhong Shidao was helped off his horse by Lu Zhishen and several generals, Xiao Tang also stepped forward to greet him and said respectfully: "When the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty joined forces to destroy the Liao Dynasty, Yan Yun was defeated because Tong Guan was eager to capture Yanjing.
At the beginning of the war, they did not conspire with Lao Zhong, and they did not control the military. Moreover, Tong Guan, the eunuch, was too arrogant and allowed the soldiers to plunder, which caused the Liao people to boil with resentment and aroused the remnants of the Liao Dynasty to fight.
The spirit of fighting to the death is a test of its deeds. Although the Western Army is the elite of the country, the generals have their own thoughts. How can the soldiers of all departments work together? Tong Guanquan, who was born, was also responsible for the crime of losing the army and losing his master. He wanted to falsely report for the war at the beginning.
Despite his love, he was generously rewarded by the imperial court, yet he asked an old man to judge his crimes and become an official... How could this not be the case that the eunuch only pursued his own selfish desires for power, and caused the morale of the Western Army to be divided?
However, the Jin people suddenly went south to invade the country, and Tong Guanna, who had received a favor from the imperial court in vain, fled without a fight. Mr. Zhong was impeached by a traitor and was forced to become an official. Now he was ordered to summon all the troops of the Western Army in the face of danger.
The soldiers went to Beijing to serve the king... The Jin invaders went deep into the country alone, which was a taboo among military strategists. If the imperial court could still reuse Mr. Zhong to deploy the border troops to resist the enemy, then Bianliang in Tokyo would not have been attacked by foreign invaders. Naturally,
There is no need for the juniors to lead the rebel armies to intercept the gold thieves to achieve this feat."
"My little friend, I am too modest. When I led the army to Bianjing, I also heard from the capital that you used thunderous means to kill Tong Guan and other favorites of the Supreme Emperor... But even if Tong Guan and others were
Severe punishment should be punished by the Holy One. In addition, what you did by gathering strong soldiers and horses from all over the place...isn't it more than audacious?"
Xiao Tang's praise of Zhong Shi Dao was true to his heart, and the old Xianggong Zhong also spoke frankly, saying that the young man in front of him, who had been awarded the title of Marshal of the World's Military and Horses by the imperial court, had done something rebellious against the imperial court. After all, Yan
The invasion of Liao Dynasty was a disastrous defeat, and many soldiers were buried in the north. The Western Army also needed to recuperate and regain its strength. However, the current national crisis faced by foreign enemies came one after another, and Zhong Shidao also knew that the imperial court still had power.
The imperial army of the Song Dynasty, which was sluggish in military affairs, was at its peak due to the intrigues among officials, the control of the generals, and the situation of the Jin Kingdom, which was at the peak of its fortune, and its ambition to covet the wealth of the Central Plains was extremely dangerous. Not only the Song Dynasty court, but the world
The people of Li do indeed need the strong support of Xiao Tang to resist the invasion of foreign invaders...
However, Zhong Shidao also knew very well that Xiao Tang's son had no loyalty to the imperial family of the Song Dynasty. If he was allowed to use the power of the vassal to expand his power... I am afraid that he would become a serious problem for the court in the future.
.
Although he looked old, at least at this moment, Zhong Shidao's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he stared straight at Xiao Tang. On the other hand, Xiao Tang still looked calm, and said loudly: "
Which one is more important, the king, the emperor, the country, the country? If the younger generation had not rebelled against the imperial court, how could they have freed themselves from the shackles and restraint, and gathered many righteous heroes who had instincts to be used by the country, but were persecuted and sacrificed their lives to resist the golden invaders?
To save all people from water and fire?
A good man who lives in such a worldly world should establish his mind for the heaven and earth, establish his destiny for the people, carry forward the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations... If he serves the imperial family, he will make a mistake.
How can the younger generation take care of so many opportunities to fight against foreign humiliation and save the world?"
When Xiao Tang mentioned the words "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all generations", Master Zhong's expression suddenly changed, because this motto meant a lot to him.
To be honest, I am very familiar with it. It is also a famous saying once said by Lao Zhong Xianggong’s mentor, the great Confucian Zhang Zai.
After being appointed as a sage by Zhang Zai in his early years, Zhongshidao was earnestly taught by Mr. Hengqu that officials should take the world as their own responsibility and worry about the lives of the people. However, when the livelihood of the people under the rule of Jiangshan Sheji conflicted with the imperial power of the emperor,
, since the beginning of his ancestor Zhong Fang's service to the Song Dynasty court, Zhong Shidao knew that the court was mismanaged and immoral. No matter how humiliated and coldly treated he was, he could only be loyal to the Song court. But was this considered a violation of the teachings of his mentor?
?However, Xiao Tang was unwilling to be controlled by the powerful and treacherous court, so he actually taught him to lead many righteous men to turn the tide, and was able to turn the tide at the critical moment of the country's fall...
And the great things Xiao Tang did were not in line with the ideas that his mentor Zhang Zai firmly believed in and admired?
