Please ask me to be the emperor

When Lu Weiqi, the former Minister of War in Nanjing, was released from prison by Zhang Shun, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang, became at ease.

Although he was accompanied by Yang Lukai, the shepherd, and Gu Xian, the servant, they had little knowledge and were not very good at playing chess.

Since Lu Weiqi left, there has been no shortage of food and drink in the prison. Lu Xiangsheng, who was idle and bored, enjoyed the pleasure of "abusing food".

After a while, Lu Xiangsheng lost interest. Whether it is chess, knowledge, or military skills, these two people are not very knowledgeable. Lu Xiangsheng really "wins without using force."

After staying in prison for a few days, he missed Lu Weiqi even more. This man was originally a great scholar, with some authentic Neo-Confucianism, and a lot of knowledge and extraordinary qualities.

It's a pity that if you have poor moral character, you are willing to become a thief! Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng added silently in his heart.

When Zhang Shun was talking to Lu Weiqi that day, Lu Xiangsheng was standing in front of him, and he was well aware of the "dirty deal" between the two.

It's just that Zhang Shun did not pursue his son Lu Zhaolin's private communication with the government as a condition. In exchange, Lu Weiqi acted as a guide for the thieves and won over the gentry of Henan Prefecture for his use.

According to common sense, gentry have families and businesses and will not easily engage in rebellion. Lu Xiangsheng is quite confident in this point.

But don’t things in the world all run according to common sense? If he had followed common sense, he would not have been locked up in the cell of Prince Fu's Mansion.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't quite understand after thinking about it. He just thought that these two thieves were planning to hook up with some gentry and scum, which was better than nothing.

At this time, a sudden sound of chains came, interrupting Yunyang Governor Lu Xiangsheng's meditation.

He turned around and saw three or five soldiers pushing one person in, and then locked the chain firmly.

The newcomer happened to "move in" to the "room" of Lu Weiqi, the former Minister of War in Nanjing.

Lu Xiangsheng took a closer look and saw that although this man was wearing coarse clothes, he had a commanding air like a regular person.

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly felt good about him and couldn't help but raise his hand and asked: "This brother has invited me. I'm Lu Xiangsheng. I don't know your surname. How did you offend this bandit?"

Originally, the man was a bit reserved in his new prison, but unexpectedly he started laughing after hearing Lu Xiangsheng's words.

"You can't find anything after wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort to get here! Lu Xiangsheng, do you know me?" Not only was this man rude, but he was a bit angry.

Lu Xiangsheng was simply baffled. He didn't know where this man's nameless fire came from. He could only shake his head and said: "I never knew it!"

"Since we have never known each other, you and I have no grievances in our dealings and have no worries in recent times. Why did you harm me?" The man became even more angry after hearing this.

"Where do you start talking about this?" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I have been staying in this prison these days, how can I get away to trap you?"

"Is this true?" the man asked doubtfully, "It's empty talk. Write a few words to me!"

"Of course we take it seriously. If there is any lie, I will strike with five thunders from heaven!" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but feel a little angry after hearing this, and simply swore a poisonous oath.

"Stop talking nonsense and write a few words!" The man was still reluctant and looked like a scoundrel.

Lu Xiangsheng was too lazy to pay attention to him at first, but then he thought about it. In the past few days, the two sides had to be neighbors, so it was not easy to offend him.

So, Lu Xiangsheng used grass as a pen, cleared a clean area on the ground with his hands, left some floating soil on it, and then wrote with a brush: Who has never died in life since ancient times, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history!

Upon seeing this, the man squatted on the ground, leaning on the prison bars, and looked at it carefully.

Lu Xiangsheng does not do anything wrong, but he is open-minded. The old god is watching this person closely.

I saw that this man had a dignified appearance and piercing eyes. He was also a loyal minister of the imperial court. For some reason, he ended up here just like me.

Lu Xiangsheng was waiting for a while to ask questions, but unexpectedly, the man suddenly burst out in anger, grabbed Lu Xiangsheng's collar, and shouted loudly: "Who is it if it's not you? I also said that I wronged you, but I didn't expect that you really have a human face and a beast heart. Trapping your fellow bosses!”

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but feel angry and annoyed when he heard this. People often say, "Buddhas also have nameless karmic fire." He kept giving in, but this person not only found trouble again and again, but actually took action. Is it tolerable or not?

Lu Xiangsheng was born with divine power, so why should he be afraid of him? In anger, he just reached out and grabbed the other person's wrist with both hands and almost broke it.

Then he shrugged back, knocking the man upside down. His originally clean coarse cloth clothes were also covered in dust, making him look extremely miserable.

Lu Xiangsheng then shouted sternly: "Where did you come from? How could you humiliate me like this over and over again?"

"Well, Lu Xiangsheng, I didn't expect that you used to think of yourself as loyal and righteous, but you are indeed this kind of person!" The man smiled sadly when he heard this, got up and pointed at Lu Xiangsheng's nose and cursed, "First you lied to me with your letter and seal, I was defeated miserably, and now I pretend that I don’t know how to do it.”

"You don't know me, even if you turn into ashes, I must know you! I am the Minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, the Taibao of the Crown Prince, and the Governor-General of the Military Affairs of the five provinces of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan, Hong Chengchou!"

"Ah?" Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang, was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously asked: "Why were you born here?"

"How could I be born here?" Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, couldn't help but jump to his feet and said, "You have tricked me into being here!"

It turned out that after Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, was captured by Zhang Sanbai, due to poor communication, Zhang Shenyan, who had always been cautious and mature, misjudged him.

Seeing that he was shabbily dressed, they thought he was a minor figure, so they kicked him out during the surrender ceremony and imprisoned him here, just in time to meet Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang.

Although both of them are famous for a long time, they have never met before, which led to today's misunderstanding.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw that Hong Chengchou was determined to "slander" him, he couldn't help but defend himself: "Since the 23rd and 4th day of the twelfth lunar month, I was unlucky in the battle with the thieves and was unfortunately captured, so I was imprisoned here. All the seals and other items were taken away by the thieves. , how could I ever deceive you?"

"If Superintendent Hong blames me for using my troops poorly and ruining my plan to suppress the bandits, then of course I have nothing to say! But to say that Lu is a thief, that's totally wrong!"

"Really?" Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, said doubtfully.

However, before Hong Chengchou was defeated, he had already reported to the court and put the blame on Yunyang Governor Lu Xiangsheng. How could he be allowed to defend himself?

Therefore, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but question: "It's just a mouthful, but is there any evidence?"

Is there any evidence that Lu Xiangsheng was imprisoned here? If Yang Lukai, the shepherd, and Gu Xianke, the servant, were witnesses, it would be suspected of perjury.

He couldn't help but said angrily: "I have eaten several bowls of noodles, do I have to cut open my stomach to prove my innocence?"
