"Yes! I obey!" Two guards with swords responded hurriedly, dragging the wailing Zhu Shi'an out one from the left and the other from the right.
"It's because of officials with evil intentions like Zhu Shi'an that Dali will be poor, weak, and weak in power!" Lu Zhicheng was so angry when he heard the harsh wails that he stood up suddenly and walked down. The six steps were slowly walking among the civil and military courtiers. While glaring at the courtiers who dared not express their anger, they continued to shout angrily, "Where are you spending your thoughts?! Intrigues and intrigues!" If you step on me today, I will step on you again tomorrow! Where do you think you are standing? This is not a dirty place for you to hang out and keep warm! ! It is the hope of the people of Dali! It is also the place where you serve the imperial court and display your ambitions! This should be the most sacred and solemn place in the world, but what do you think of this place?"
"Is it possible that you are hanging on to your buttocks and studying hard in a cold window just to frame others?! Just to frame Zhongliang and climb up on other people's flesh and blood?! Don't you feel ashamed?! Don't you find it difficult to sleep and eat well?!"
"Are you worthy of the jade scepter in your hands?! Are you worthy of the ten years you spent in poverty?! Are you worthy of the sage books you read?! Are you worthy of the three-foot god above your head?!"
"Why on earth do you want to be officials!"
"Ah! Why do you want to be an official?!"
…
Lu Zhicheng stood at the door of the main hall. He stared blankly at the red walls and yellow tiles outside, and at the blue sky. He suddenly looked back and stared at the four eye-catching characters on the golden plaque -
Just and above board.
He suddenly became furious, his eyes widened even more, and his voice became hoarse: "Since you have put on this court uniform, you should know the responsibilities on your shoulders. If you can't bear this responsibility, take it off now." Court robes! There is one, and the Dali court is not a place for wine and rice bags, nor is it a rotten tree for moths! After today, if there is any conspiracy or inaction, it will not be as simple as taking off the court robes!"
The voice was still echoing in the hall, and the left and right ministers, along with all the civil and military officials, knelt down and said in unison: "I am willing to serve the imperial court till my death!"
Lu Zhicheng strode to the middle, and suddenly knelt on the ground. He said loudly to Lu Zhishan and Lu Zhiyue: "Although I am not talented, I am the prince of Dali, and I should live and die for Dali. I’d like to go to southern Xinjiang!”
Lu Zhiyue was startled and suddenly held the handle of the chair: "...but Concubine Li has just been buried. Isn't it inappropriate for you to leave the capital at this time?"
According to the Dali ancestral system, when parents die, children should stay at home and observe filial piety for their parents for three years. The royal family pays more attention to this.
"Filial piety is in the heart but not in appearance. What's more, I am serving the country. I don't think my mother and concubine's spirit in heaven will blame me for this," Lu Zhicheng said, kowtowing again, and said in a deep voice, "The war preparations in southern Xinjiang have always been It was my brother and the Ministry of War who made reasonable plans. I believe that no one is more qualified than me to be the general of Zhennan. I sincerely ask the two royal brothers to agree to my request."
Lu Zhiyue didn't speak again, but just looked at Lu Zhishan. Lu Zhishan looked at Lu Zhicheng and said slowly: "Have you really thought about it?"
"Think about it." Lu Zhicheng nodded to Lu Zhishan.
