Please ask me to be the emperor

Since Lu Xiangsheng was captured by the rebels, firstly to prevent him from being rescued, and secondly to show respect for him, Zhang Shun specially ordered a prison to be built in the palace for him to live.

This prison was originally the "private prison" of Prince Fu's Mansion, a place specifically used to punish and imprison the servants of the manor.

Later, after Zhang Shun took over Prince Fu's Mansion, he made some inquiries and found that they were all people who had been taken out by the master of the Prince's Mansion, so he ordered their release.

So, the place became empty. It wasn't until later that Lu Xiangsheng was captured by Li Sanniang. Zhang Shun ordered people to tidy up the place again. After cleaning up, Lu Xiangsheng was imprisoned.

Originally, the rebels planned to imprison Lu Xiangsheng alone, but his shepherd Yang Lukai and servant Gu Xian were voluntarily imprisoned to accompany him.

Zhang Shun respected him as a hero and agreed. Locking the three of them together, they still have company to talk to on weekdays.

After Lu Xiangsheng was captured, he wanted to go on a hunger strike and die. But after these two people came in, how could they be willing to obey him?

One was a loyal servant and the other was a righteous man. Through half force and half persuasion, the two barely managed to save Lu Xiangsheng's life.

The three of them stayed together for a few days before Lu Xiangsheng's temperament stabilized and he no longer sought life and death. They said something together, but because the gap in status and level of knowledge was too big, they had nothing to say.

When Lu Xiangsheng was quite bored, he suddenly heard the prison door creaking open, and then he saw an old man in brocade clothes being invited in and imprisoned in a nearby prison.

Lu Xiangsheng took a closer look and saw that it was the shameless Lu Weiqi who had been standing with the "shun thief" before.

Although Lu Xiangsheng has a good temper, it does not mean that he can tolerate someone who is an official of the imperial court and "becomes a thief".

He should not sneer and say: "Hey, who is this? The dignified Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, why was he imprisoned by thieves? Are you also a loyal minister?"

Lu Weiqi rolled his eyes at him, ignored him, and went to find a place to work on. Lu Xiangsheng was not a sarcastic person, so he said a few sarcastic words and it was not self-indulgent.

After waiting for a long time, Lu Weiqi couldn't hold it in any longer, so he ran out of words and said, "Lu Jiutai, I'll make you laugh this time!"

Lu Xiangsheng, who calls himself Jiutai, is more than ten years older than Lu Weiqi, so it is not too polite to call him that.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but he couldn't help but wonder why this guy came in, so he couldn't help but let out a "hmm" without being salty.

"Our lives will be short-lived." Lu Weiqi smiled bitterly and shook his head, then threw a bomb and said, "King Shun is dead!"

"What?" Lu Xiangsheng was taken aback, and then he couldn't help but laugh, "The thief is dead, and your life will be over soon. What does it have to do with me?"

"How do you think I got in?" Lu Weiqi sneered, "When King Shun was alive, even if I had some thoughts, I could tolerate it."

"I just never expected that King Shun would go out to fight Hong Hengjiu today and unexpectedly die unexpectedly. Madam Hong, Zhang Shenyan and Song Xiance in the city immediately jointly took power."

"The first step they took was to control me. The second step was to gather people to ambush in Prince Fu's Mansion. The third step was to mobilize the army that had just defeated Hong Hengjiu to enter the city. Sure enough, there was a big family in the city who was in trouble. They must be killed tonight. There are corpses everywhere!"

"What does it have to do with you and me?" Lu Xiangsheng still didn't quite understand.

"Lu Jiutai, Lu Jiutai, do you really not understand or do you pretend not to understand?" Lu Weiqi couldn't help but said sarcastically, "When King Shun was here, he neither tortured nor killed, and acted with benevolence and righteousness. Now that King Shun is dead, the rebel army When faced with internal and external troubles, we would rather kill the wrong person than let him go!"

"As a big family in Luoyang, I have hundreds of disciples, and I am more or less the same as the big families in the city. How can I be immortal? And you, Lu Jiutai, are just a defeated general. How can you let the rebels leave you as a hidden danger? "

Lu Xiangsheng was not a mediocre person, and he understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. As the leader of a prominent local family, Lu Weiqi responded to every call, not to mention that if anything happened, even if nothing happened, he would still be a huge threat to the rebels.

What's more, the big families in Luoyang are intertwined and have complicated relationships such as marriage and master-disciple. If there is the slightest movement, they can get involved in each other. If King Shun is dead, how can he, Lu Weiqi, survive?

And he, Lu Xiangsheng, was a high official in the imperial court and his reputation was ruined. In addition, he is gifted with supernatural powers, strong in martial arts, and knowledgeable in military matters. If someone in the city causes trouble, once he is rescued, the damage caused will be extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but smile heartily: "It would be a great joy in life to see you, a traitor like you, ruined and suffer the consequences, even if Lu died today!"

After hearing this, Lu Weiqi couldn't help but snorted: "I knew you, Lu Xiangsheng, were a great talent, so I told you this, but I never thought you were a mediocre person!"

"You, Lu Jiutai, are not afraid of death. Do you think I, Lu Yushi, am afraid of death? Mencius once said: In five hundred years, a king will rise. I never believed it. It was not until I met King Shun that I realized that this sentence was specifically For what he said!"

"Don't be arrogant when you win, don't be discouraged when you lose, be confident, and have the world in mind. Only through him did I know what it means to be a benevolent person! When Chen Qiyu led the crowd to attack the city, the people outside Luoyang City were killed and wounded. After he defeated the officers and soldiers, he personally ordered people Buried the bodies and gave the displaced people a place to stay!”

"In the past few months since the rebels occupied Luoyang, they have not only refrained from looting or plundering, but have focused on rescuing the people. Even the rebels themselves are in danger, and they are even thinking about how to prepare for next year's locust plague. This is what I have learned from other people during my many years as an official. I’ve never seen this from an official!”

"It's a pity that he is already dead!" Lu Xiangsheng sneered.

"Yes, he is dead, I am dead, and you are dead too! Almost all the people in Luoyang City are dead. Are you satisfied now, Lu Xiangsheng!" Lu Weiqi couldn't help but glared angrily.

"You have nothing to do but talk about your feelings, and when you are in danger, you die to repay the king. You have gained a great reputation. Where do you want the king? Where do you want the people? Where do you want the world?"

"I" Lu Xiangsheng was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but feel ashamed and speechless. Confucianism emphasizes benevolence and righteousness, benevolence to the people and righteousness to oneself.

It is considered benevolent to serve as an official and benefit one party! It is righteousness for a loyal minister not to serve his two masters, and for a loyal woman not to have her second husband.

He, Lu Xiangsheng, could just die for his own righteousness, but how could he ask all the people in the city to die for his own righteousness?

"Hong Hengjiu may not be like this." Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but argue.

"Lu Jiutai, you have been leading troops for a long time. You don't know better than me what the virtues of officers and soldiers are, so why should you deceive yourself?" Lu Weiqi asked aggressively.

Lu Xiangsheng was speechless. For the first time, he even felt that people like "Shun Thief" might really not deserve to die.
