In Beijing, in the upper room of the Yuzi No. of Zhongzhen Inn, Mr. Zhang stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the looming palace in the distance.
Behind him, Wang Zhongzhen, the owner of Zhongzheng Inn and the richest man in Beijing, was hunched over and a little at a loss.
The Gongchang Mansion and his entourage not only recognized Xiao Chen, but also killed all the clan members of Dingxihou. Logically speaking, even if they did not avenge Duke Liang, they still received some interest.
But after coming back, Mr. Zhang has been depressed and almost doesn't want to say anything, which makes Wang Zhongzhen really helpless.
He didn't know what he should do to make Mr. Zhang feel better.
Mr. Zhang was so disappointed with Xiao Chen's decision that he didn't even want to stay at his own Zhenzhen Inn.
"General, you have been working too hard these days without rest. How about your subordinates asking someone to prepare some food for you?"
After a long time, Wang Zhongzhen lowered his voice and asked tactfully.
Mr. Zhang is his current spiritual support. If he gives up, this stall may really collapse.
After hearing this, Mr. Zhang slowly turned around and looked at Wang Zhongzhen, with a hint of exhaustion on his face: "No, I have no appetite now."
Mr. Zhang's tone was very calm, but there was a hint of determination.
Seeing the loneliness on Mr. Zhang's face, Wang Zhongzheng thought that the words of persuasion on his lips would never come out.
For so many years, everyone has adhered to a belief, which is to secretly cultivate forces, wait for the young master to grow up, lead everyone to overthrow the Zhu family dynasty, and avenge the death of Duke Liang.
But although the Gongchang Mansion and his party recognized the young master, the young master's current views were implicitly on the court's side.
Although the reason for not wanting to rise up is that we don’t want people to live in ruins, this statement ignores everyone’s years of planning? Where does it ignore the secret forces that everyone has worked hard to cultivate and can fight against the imperial court at any time?
?
"General, where should we go now?" Wang Zhongzhen asked in a low voice.
"Where to go?" Mr. Zhang smiled bitterly, "Someone can let go of Duke Liang's great hatred. As a subordinate, I can't let go."
"The young master didn't say he would let go of this hatred. Perhaps, as he said, he grew up eating the food of a hundred families, and ordinary people are his parents. If we want to overthrow the imperial court, it is the people who will suffer. He
I don't want to see innocent people suffer in the war." Wang Zhongzhen said in a low voice, staring at Mr. Zhang's back.
"To put it nicely, is it possible to let go of Duke Liang's deep hatred because he is afraid that the people will suffer? I think he is just afraid that his only purple garment in the Ming Dynasty will not be protected." Mr. Zhang said coldly.
In Mr. Zhang's view, parents' hatred is irreconcilable.
If a person can even let go of the hatred of killing his father, no matter what reason he uses as an excuse, he himself has lost his blood.
"The young master is not such a person." Wang Zhongzhen hurriedly argued, "Without the emperor's will, the young master has killed all the family members and guards of Dingxihou. If he was really afraid, he would not be so reckless. In the young master's heart, Liang
The Duke will not let go of his great hatred, and he will definitely find out and remove all those involved step by step. He just doesn't want a large-scale war to happen, and he really thinks about the people in his heart."
"Can you feel complacent about killing a Dingxi Marquis? The culprit who killed Liang Guogong was not Dingxi Marquis Wang Rong, but Zhu Yuanzhang."
Turning around, Mr. Zhang stared with anger on his face.
He was really disappointed with Xiao Chen.
Before going to Gongchang, what Xiao Chen did was remarkable in Mr. Zhang's eyes, and he could even be said to be very good.
An orphan, an orphan who relied on picking up vegetables and leaves on the roadside to feed himself, without any outside help, relied on his own strength to enter Dongchang step by step, and was even given the only unicorn purple garment in the Ming Dynasty by the emperor.
Whether it is honor or power, no one in the entire court can match it.
But even such a powerful person chose to let go after learning about his life experience and the blood feud.
Besides coveting the honor, glory and wealth you currently have, what other reason is there?
To put it nicely, it is to prevent the common people from suffering misery.
Zhu Yuanzhang killed Duke Liang for his grandson, thus drawing a clear line with the Lan family.
The world now belongs to the Zhu family, and the people are also the people of the Zhu family. What does it have to do with you, a purple-clad captain who was pushed to the forefront as a gunman?
"But Zhu Yuanzhang is dead." Wang Zhongzhen said in a low voice with his head lowered.
"Zhu Yuanzhang is dead, but his sons and grandsons are still there. The power of their Zhu family is still there."
Veins popped up on his forehead, and Mr. Zhang couldn't help but roar.
If he hadn't tried his best to carry out Duke Liang's little son who couldn't hold up the wall, the bloodline of the Lan family would have been cut off.
Look at the descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang, they are blooming everywhere and they rule the Ming Dynasty.
Only by completely overthrowing the rule of the Zhu family and killing all the people named Zhu can we fully avenge the Duke of Liang.
"General, after all, the young master has not been with us since he was a child. He joined the Jinyiwei when he was a teenager and made a living by cleaning the yard for the Jinyiwei. His thoughts were greatly influenced by the imperial court. We just met each other. This fact, he temporarily
I couldn't accept it for a while. Maybe, after some time, he will come to our side."
"Whether he loves you or not?" Mr. Zhang shook his sleeves fiercely.
"I have followed Duke Liang for a lifetime. Without Duke Liang, there would be no Zhang Jingtian today. If you support his views, you can follow him. Even if I am the only one left, I will fight hard.
According to this old destiny, I will avenge Duke Liang."
Looking at Wang Zhongzhen, Mr. Zhang was also slightly dissatisfied.
With a "pop", Wang Zhongzhen knelt on the ground.
"The general has misunderstood. The general will follow Duke Liang to death, while his subordinates will follow the general to death. For the hatred of Duke Liang, we have planned hard for half our lives. No matter what choice we make,
No matter how you live, you must have faith, otherwise, there is no difference between you and the walking dead. As long as the general gives an order, the heads of his subordinates can be cut off and the blood can be shed, without any ambiguity."
Looking up at Mr. Zhang, Wang Zhongzhen had a trace of determination on his face.
It's like knowing that he is going to die, but he has to die.
"Okay, get up. I understand what you mean. My words were a bit harsh." Mr. Zhang sighed, turned around again, and looked through the window of the guest room at the looming palace in the distance.
"The Dingxi Marquis has committed suicide this time, and there will definitely be a lot of commotion in the court. After being granted the title of marquis by Taizu for so many years, I don't believe that he doesn't have his own manpower in the court. Even if we don't do anything for the time being, we can give Zhu Di
It’s not an exaggeration to create a little trouble and make him feel as sick as if he had eaten a fly.”
Wang Zhongzhen's face lit up with joy, he hurriedly climbed up, hunched over, and walked to Mr. Zhang's side with a smile.
"General, are you following the young master's wishes and considering the long term?"
"Give him another chance. If he is still unwilling to start a war under the banner of caring for the people, then I will give up on him completely and we will avenge Duke Liang ourselves."
With a straight face, Mr. Zhang said seriously.
"No." Wang Zhongzhen chuckled, "The young master has a clear distinction between love and hate. He treats the ordinary people who gave him a bite of food. He will definitely keep his family feud in his heart. According to the young master's character, all the frame-ups in the past
No one from Duke Liang can escape."
"Yes." Mr. Zhang nodded, "I believe this. His scheming is very inconsistent with his age. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is sophisticated. Liao Xianghe, who has been in charge of Jinyiwei's prison for many years, has always
He dug us up by accident. If his martial arts hadn't come from my own hands and he couldn't beat me, I guess he would have dug us out one by one and imprisoned us in the Dongchang Prison."
Speaking of this, Mr. Zhang couldn't help laughing.
There was relief and pride on his face.
"General, now that we know the young master, can we tell him about Lord Liao's relationship and let him find a way to let Lord Liao go?" Wang Zhongzhen blinked and asked softly.
"I don't care about this matter. If you want to say it, you can tell it."
"Is the general still angry with the young master?"
"At the moment, I don't want to see him." After a moment of silence, Mr. Zhang said.
"Okay, when he returns to Beijing, my subordinates will go find him and talk about this matter."
