1307 He did not expect Zhang Shi to be an idealist
The purpose of Chen Qiao said this was to let Zhang Xiao know that what he did was not worthy, let Zhang Xiao know that the Southern Song Dynasty was not worthy of a "loyal man" like him, and then persuade Zhang Xiao to go with him.
However, the effect of this statement was obviously too strong, which successfully aroused Zhang Feng's deep hatred for the Southern Song Dynasty.
Ideological hatred, family bloodline hatred, class emotional hatred, etc.
Zhang Shi believed even more that he had to stay and let this decaying country die as soon as possible.
It is not decent, so you have to help it with decent.
So he decided to continue to work hard to get more bureaucrats' escape routes, give them a heavy blow, let them spit out everything, and then go to hell.
Including Shen's.
Since the performance has started, let the performance continue and see who of us has played whom!
Since he decided to become a member of the Revival, Zhang Feng has been honing his acting skills, and has successfully played from local to central, from an insignificant minor official to an important position as a Privy Councilor. After years of hardening his acting skills, he is very confident in his acting skills.
He calmed down and started the show.
"It is precisely because of this that I feel regret and hatred! In the face of the great Song Dynasty, there is not even a person willing to stand up! Finally, one of them appears, and he is going to be killed by his own people. Who is wrong?"
Zhang Fengyang pretended to be sad, staring at Chen Gai with red eyes: "Is it wrong to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism? Is it wrong to be devoted to the country and the people? If it is wrong, then who is the person who said this? If it is right, why did my father die tragically?
I don't understand! I don't understand! I don't know what happened to the Song Dynasty! Why did the Song Dynasty fall to this point today? Why? Great Song Dynasty! Great Song Dynasty! No one is willing to stand up and live and die with it! Why!"
Chen Ji was stunned by Zhang Shi's response, and he was stunned for a while before he recovered.
This sudden emotional outburst really caught Chen Gai off guard. He remembered that Zhang Shi was not like this, which made him feel a strong sense of incongruity.
But the feelings in these words and his eyes made Chen Qiao a little confused.
It is really not easy to pretend to be so, and there is no need for him to pretend to be like this, and in the matter of his father Zhang Jun... he doesn't need to pretend to be like this.
The logic in this statement is self-consistent. If he really thought this way, it would definitely not be impossible.
However, Chen Gao still doesn't believe it.
Because he did not think that a senior official from the Song Dynasty was willing to die for the country.
Don’t all people who can achieve this position plan for themselves selfishly?
I worked hard to risk my life and sat in this position. Is it just to die for the country at a critical moment?
He actually had this awareness...
Think about the senior officials of the Song Dynasty that I came into contact with on weekdays. Apart from his father Zhang Jun, there are few who are so enlightened.
Is he really an official in the Song Dynasty?
Or is this family inheritance?
Chen Gai couldn't figure it out, so he could only respond.
"Jinghus, do you... really think so?"
"Yes, that's what I think! I just can't figure it out! A group of people who were in the forefront of the country wanted to escape, but not to recover! The insects! They were all insects! They were not as good as waste!"
Zhang Jue said angrily: "The Song Dynasty used such a generous salary to support them. In the end, it raised a group of corrupt borers, which made the country go crazy! It reached an irreversible point, and I thought about running away directly!
They took all good things, what should the Song Dynasty do? What should millions of people do? My father gave his life for the Song Dynasty. Could it be that my son-in-law, Da Song, who had paid his life for him, was overwhelmed like this? No! I can't!"
Zhang Feng slapped the table while talking, feeling excited, his eyes turned red, and he was about to cry.
Chen Ji's emotions are very complicated at this moment.
On the one hand, he felt that what Zhang Shi said made sense.
But on the other hand, he didn't expect that Zhang Shi was actually an idealist.
During his previous relationship, he felt that Zhang Shi was a pragmatist and had a certain pursuit of power, but he was not strong. He held the army but did not further expand his political power, so his fear of him at the beginning gradually became less strong.
However, he did not expect that under the skin of Zhang Shi, a pragmatist, there was the essence of idealism.
He actually thought about these great truths that everyone knows but are absolutely impossible to happen.
It is true that if there were such people in the court, the Song Dynasty would certainly not have reached this point, but the key is, how is this possible?
Everyone wants to get benefits and get more benefits for themselves. Who cares about this country?
To put it bluntly, this country is not theirs, it belongs to the Emperor of the Zhao family. The Zhao official family said that they share the world with the scholars and officials, so why didn’t they hand over the throne and share it with everyone?
This is the country of Zhao Guan family. Everyone is just a tool man under Zhao Guan family, so they don’t even think about being the master. Since that’s the case, why not give yourself more benefits when you have the identity of a tool man?
Anyway, everything belongs to the Zhao Guan family in the end. If you don’t seek benefits for yourself, do you still need to seek benefits for the Zhao Guan family?
Fools and stupid women don’t recognize words and don’t understand this principle. So can’t they understand the elites?
Are the Zhang family father and son really loyal and patriotic people inherited from the family?
Is it really the special case of that special case?
Chen Qiao looked at Zhang Xiao, and couldn't see any strange things even though he looked left and right. The only difference...
Chen Gai suddenly remembered that Zhang Shi did not enter the imperial examination, but entered the imperial examination.
So he gradually felt that he could understand Zhang Shi's thoughts.
If you have never suffered ten years of hard study and the fierce struggle of thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, you will not know what kind of torture the imperial examinations have brought to scholars. The winners who have experienced such torture and struggle through hardships are often not idealists.
Their ideals have long been exhausted in endless inclinations.
But Zhang Shi is not.
Zhang Shi had never taken the imperial examination. He studied before he was twenty-five, taught before he was thirty, and had been wandering in the ocean of learning. He lived in the ivory tower. The only thing that could be regarded as a blow is the death of his father Zhang Jun.
However, Zhang Jun's death did not implicate his family. Zhao Guo felt guilty and appointed him as an intermediate official after the Ming army headed south to Changsha, which was equivalent to reaching the sky in one step.
With the opportunity he "fighted" for him by his father Zhang Jun, he entered the officialdom in a relatively easy way, and then he easily reached a high position with the credit of the coup.
When he became the Privy Councilor, he was only 32 years old, comparable to Kou Zhun, who was the Privy Councilor at the age of 30.
I have not experienced too many blows, have not suffered from involuntary pain, and have easily reached the high position, and I still have the glory of idealism in my heart.
When ordinary old bureaucrats reach high positions by luck, they are already old. They see all the ugliness of the world, either because they are extremely guilty or because they see through the world, and only want to live a peaceful life, without any motivation.
So, Chen Ji began to want to believe Zhang Feng. This idealistic madman really wanted to live and die with Hangzhou City.
So he decided to say something a little deeper.
"Jingfu, I don't think I'll tell you some things, you should understand. I'll just say one thing, you want to stand with Zhao Guanjia, but Zhao Guanjia doesn't think your surname is Zhao. Do you want your surname Zhao? Are you worthy of Zhao?
It’s not just you? We are not worthy. We are just tools of the Zhao Guan family. The Zhao Guan family has never regarded us as the same people. If that’s the case, why should we die for him? Think clearly, respect your husband, it’s not worth it.”
Of course it was not worth it to Zhao Song, but it was worth it to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was not the Zhao family dynasty.
Zhang Xiao complained in his heart.
Of course he understood this principle.
He knew early in the morning that the Zhao Guan family would not let their surname be Zhao, so he would not die for the sake of the Song Dynasty. He just wanted to watch the Song Dynasty die with his own eyes, and then spit on the Song Dynasty's body.
Chen should let him go, didn’t he even give him the chance to spit?
This doesn't work.
"I understand what my husband said, but... I shouldn't persuade me anymore. I have my own ideas. After all, if we all leave, who will command the army? Without someone like us, the army will only surrender instantly, and we can't even fight for time to let us escape."
Zhang Ju smiled bitterly and said, "It takes time to escape. If we all leave, do you believe that the army will even surrender immediately and turn around and come to pursue us? I believe that you have not found anyone willing to stay in Hangzhou yet, right?"
