Zhurou

Chapter 188 Credit
No matter how stupid and innocent the Supreme Emperor who moved north to Xiazhou was, and how the imperial court retreated steadily over the years, after all, the Great Jin Dynasty has been passed down for many generations, and the people have been influenced by the emperor's world for thousands of years, and their thoughts have long been ingrained. The family still sits firmly on the dragon throne, and the emperor has a special meaning to the people of the world.

It is naturally difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to meet the real emperor, and the image of the emperor's royal appearance is endowed with another meaning in a certain sense.

When the Di people invaded Yingtian Mansion, the city defenders retreated Zeng Rong to the Hongqing Hall where the emperors Taizu, Taizong, and Zhenzong were enshrined. Three generations of emperors were burnt to ashes together, and the whole city mourned for it. No one praised Zeng Rong for his loyalty to the emperor and the court, and his behavior was even more shocking.

And Di Ren went south, killed all the way to the Jinling city, tied the self-painted portrait of the emperor's royal appearance to the horse's tail, walked along the ground, shouted loudly under the city gate, and even made people urinate on it, and finally killed them all with swords and axes damaged.

I saw with my own eyes that when the emperor was humiliated beyond recognition, the horror and fear were beyond words. All the soldiers in the city were defeated and almost retreated without a fight. As for the people, they even broke up and fled.

Afterwards, this incident became known all over the world, and Zhao Mingzhi naturally heard about it.

Since the emperor's imperial appearance can be used to defeat the morale of the army and the people, it can naturally be used to boost the morale of the army and the people.

As the son of heaven, Zhao Hong had no choice but to travel south. Although there was no talk of moving the capital yet, there was already a plan to move the capital.

No one can replace his status, even if a hundred Zhao Mingzhi are built together and go around the city and outside the city every day, the effect is not as good as it should be.

Since people can't come, they have to put up an air, even if everyone knows it's an air, it's better than doing nothing.

"Invite the portraits of the emperors and queens first, wait for a while, and look at the situation in the city and the enemy's situation in the north, and then invite the portrait of the emperor's imperial face." Zhao Mingzhi did not answer Lu Xianzhang's question directly, but only explained his arrangement again.

Based on Lu Xianzhang's knowledge, he can naturally deduce the purpose of such actions, and can even see the role of them.

He has endured for many days, but today he entered the palace in a hurry, standing at the same place, he felt his feet were sore and swollen, but after hearing Zhao Mingzhi's words, his first reaction was to frown, hesitate for a while, and said: " How can I not know that His Highness loves you, but your appearance is no better than the others, especially the current emperor is different from the previous emperor. Caizhou has a long journey to this place. If something happens in the middle, it will be taken by the traitor, or he will be punished by the enemy. Or send it to Di Kou..."

"Most of the two governments are unwilling to agree, but they finally agreed. If something really happens, the consequences may not be shared..."

"You don't have to worry about participating in politics. I should bear this responsibility." Zhao Mingzhi replied.

But Lu Xianzhang couldn't restrain himself, he couldn't help raising his head and said: "Your Highness...why did you say that? Could it be that in His Highness's heart, the purpose of this humble minister's coming this time is to clear himself up?"

Zhao Mingzhi naturally wouldn't make such speculations.

She was not in a hurry to answer, but calmly turned her head to the side of the palace and said, "Find a soft chair for Shenzheng."

Lu Xianzhang was stunned for a while, until the chair was placed behind him, he was still in a daze.

"Participate in politics, please sit down." Zhao Mingzhi said warmly.

Lu Xianzhang sat down as he said, still looking at Zhao Mingzhi.

He didn't dare to look directly, so he could only cast his eyes on the screen on one side.

"How could I not know the meaning of participating in politics?" Zhao Mingzhi nodded to the palace man holding the pot, and motioned to him, "There is no need to serve tea, just boil the jujube kernels from the day before yesterday."

After finishing speaking, he said to Lu Xianzhang: "Busy with affairs in and outside the city, everyone inside and outside the government office must participate in the management of politics. Now that Pei Jiedu leads the troops to leave Beijing, it is a matter of public security, and he has to take a closer look at politics. At this moment, I’m here to add other things, if I still can’t take responsibility for myself, what’s the difference with me?”

She paused, and then said: "I know what I am worried about when I participate in politics. I just acted like this, and it was not on the spur of the moment. In fact, I already had a balance in my heart-if the two governments can comply, I will indeed send your majesty's imperial appearance to Beijing. An atmosphere of panic does a great job, and if it doesn't, it won't do me any harm."

"As for the accident on the way, it should be escorted by the Caizhou imperial guards. I just ask: Given the current situation in central Beijing, if you don't do anything, if there is a disturbance in the north, can you still support it?"

Her tone was not questioning at all, even the questioning was very gentle, but to Lu Xianzhang's ears, every sentence made him extremely embarrassed.

He is in charge of the government office in the capital, and he has good eyes and ears, so how could he not know that after Pei Yong led the troops out of the city, countless people would feel uneasy.

It's just that he has a high position at this time, and there are really not many people who can be used, and there is no way to use it. For a while, he can only sit back and wait for news from the north.

Right now, Zhao Mingzhi, a princess who should be respected and raised in the palace, is now forced to come forward to help her. She is really ashamed and ashamed.

Especially when Lu Xianzhang thought about it again, it was not the first time that his family came out to persuade him. When it came to seriousness, he kept saying that it was all for the princess's fame and reputation, but in the end, he couldn't stop the other party in the slightest.

And everything the other party did was because of his lack of ability and had to make up for it.

Thinking about it this way, how could it not make him feel cramped?
Zhao Mingzhi looked at his words and saw that Lu Xianzhang was in distress, so he only smiled, and said a word of comfort: "Although I never complain when I participate in politics, how can I not know the hard work of the government and the officials of the government? Although I can't pay much Qili is always surnamed Zhao, so how can he sit?"

"What you do and say today is nothing compared to the kings, but it's just doing your best."

"It's just that when things happen suddenly, there are always negligence. If there is trouble in the follow-up, I have to participate in politics to help clean up one or two..."

Even though Lu Xianzhang was sitting on the top chair, the seat was covered with a cotton cushion from nowhere, and the buttocks were extremely soft, but at this moment his hands and feet still felt numb.

In addition to the bitterness in his heart, he also felt unspeakable, and said: "It's because of the incompetence of the humble minister that His Highness is like this, but... the minister came here today, and he really didn't mean to shirk in the slightest, let alone that..."

Zhao Mingzhi nodded and said: "The desire to participate in politics is obvious to all. I have never been the kind of person who only cares about himself and ignores the overall situation. There is no need to explain."

Lu Xianzhang stopped talking for a while, even choked his throat, and said: "How can a humble minister be so trustworthy as His Highness..."

He was able to taste bitterness, but at this moment, the bitterness changed, and he finally returned to sweetness. No matter how hard he was to speak, even though he still didn't dare to look at Zhao Mingzhi's face, seeing that Pei Yong had left, he was left guarding the capital with the princess, it was inevitable Another fluke.

In Lu Xianzhang's mind, the situation in central Beijing is naturally not very good, but as long as he endures hard work, with Pei Yong defending against the enemy in the north, no matter what, even if he fights for his life in the future, he can at least win a chance for the princess to escape.

It's just that things don't always go as planned.

Not a few days after Pei Yong led the troops out of the city, an accident happened.
