I don't want to do it, but he has a health bar

Chapter 171 Let Zhang Ge Lao deal with Lu Jing (Subscription Request)
Lu Jing watched Zhang Ge Lao go away, without any intention of stopping him.

It’s just that they have different paths and don’t seek each other’s will.

But at this time, Zhao Jing appeared from the dark, came to Lu Jing, bowed and asked, "Sir, are we going to let him go like this? He is the elder of Dayu. If we really let him go back to the capital... the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhao Jing’s idea is very simple:
Cut off the roots!

Even if it can't be delayed for too long, Lord Gao and Lord Zhang are well-known in the court of Dayu and can gain great support.

If he really becomes hostile to Mr. Lu, he will definitely be a formidable rival.

But Lu Jing shook his head and said, "Even if they are enemies, there are enemies that are worthy of admiration. Moreover, we do not actually have any absolute fundamental conflicts with some people in the Dayu court. We even have many common demands."

For example, Zhang Ge Lao and Gao Ge Lao.

They are all loyal ministers who work hard to govern the country and want to restore Dayu's former glory.

Before Lu Jing proposed those retrograde theories, there had been a gradual rift between Lord Zhang and Lord Gao in the cabinet because of their policies and personalities.

But their feud is just a disagreement over who is in charge and where to start the administration.

But after Lu Jing put his theory into practice in Mobei, Zhang Ge Lao suddenly lost his defense and wanted to draw a clear line between himself and Lu Jing.

Lu Jing smiled and said, "This is also a dialectical way of looking at the problem."

"Enemies and allies are only temporary."

"Even if Lord Zhang has become our enemy now, as long as we find a way to resolve the situation, he may become our friend again."

After all, everyone is fighting for the destiny of the human race.

Zhao Jing bowed respectfully to Lu Jing and said, "I am grateful for your advice."

These are actually very simple principles.

But knowing and practicing are two different things.

Lu Jing was not originally a particularly powerful or remarkable person, but as he continued to use the experience panel, receiving large amounts of information and as his own cultivation became higher and higher, his grasp of his thoughts, thinking, ideas and actions became closer and closer.

It is almost possible to achieve "unity of knowledge and action".

Because I thought so, I did so.

As his cultivation level increases, Lu Jing can sometimes even examine himself calmly from a third-person perspective.

That kind of scrutiny was extremely calm, without the slightest personal emotion.

This state always allows him to make decisions that best suit the current situation and reflect his true heart.

It was as if an extra personality suddenly appeared in my consciousness.

But that personality is absolutely compatible with my own, and there is no sense of conflict at all.

This feeling is amazing.

It is as if the sun and the moon are connected to the sky. Although they are different, their brilliance comes from the same source.

This state reminded Lu Jing of Dr. Manhattan in a movie he had seen before, "Watchmen". Dr. Manhattan, who was originally just a mortal, mutated into a superhero. Because of his powerful strength, his personality gradually changed and he no longer cared about humans.

Reach the state of mind of "treating everything as straw dogs".

This is how Lu Jing feels now.

Is this an inevitable process of becoming stronger?

Or is this a bad transformation?

Could it be that those powerful beings from outer space also have such ordinary minds and characters, viewing everything as straw dogs, and therefore turn a blind eye to the sufferings of the world?
Because the level of life has been elevated too high, we have lost the ability to empathize with the people at the bottom?

Perhaps this is the guess that is closest to the truth.

Lu Jing waved his hand and asked Zhao Jing to leave. He then went to the assessment tribe again to observe the students.

……

On the other hand, Zhang Ge Lao returned to the capital that night with the protection of the astronomical masters around him.

Then, after being silent for an hour, Lord Zhang asked someone to grind paper and started writing.

Currently, the criticism against Lu Jing is still limited to the words of some young students. Many leaders of the literary and Taoist schools are still watching, waiting for someone with enough power to step forward and take the lead.

And Lord Gao, who has always opposed Lu Jing making these things, is also waiting.

He was waiting for Lord Zhang to make a mistake.

Lord Gao has long wanted to kick Lord Zhang out of the cabinet. If Lord Zhang shows any sign of favoring Lu Jing during this "scripture study" incident, he will jump up and hit Lord Zhang!
He was dismissed from office because he kept beating people!
Even going to jail is not a problem.

For Dayu, Lord Gao can be cruel and ruthless.

Therefore, Lord Zhang understood that he could not even keep silent during this turmoil. He had to make things clear with Lu Jing, and even criticize Lu Jing more harshly than anyone else.

As for the many collaborations I had previously reached with Lu Jing...

He can only rehabilitate those policies and measures when he takes full power in the future.

This is the court struggle.

In an instant, friends can turn against each other.

Zhang Ge Lao was writing furiously at his desk with a lamp on late at night. As he wrote, he became more and more angry.

It’s not that he didn’t understand Lu Jing’s ideas and actions, but his actions were too radical, almost destroying everything old in Dayu.

In this way, he would be the enemy of the entire Dayu world! Even with Zhang Taiyue's courage, he could not imagine such a future.

and so!
Why can't you be more gentle?
Why can't we take a roundabout approach!
stubborn!
What made him even more angry was that the current situation seemed to have brought him back to the time of the previous emperor. In order to defeat the Yan faction, he did not hesitate to go against his conscience and let the people of Yuhang suffer.

In order to make up for his uneasy conscience, he tried his best to protect Hu Yuxian after the fall of the Yan faction, and then re-employed Hu Yuxian after the death of the previous emperor and put him in charge of the southeast.

At that time, he was caught between multiple forces, trying to mediate, walking on thin ice, and taking every step with fear!

At this moment, just as at that moment.

With such a state of mind, Zhang Ge Lao wrote with great swiftness and completed the article "Rebuking Learning" in one go.

As the last stroke was raised, Lord Zhang looked at the eloquent words, slowly closed his eyes, and then suddenly fell into the armchair as if he had lost all his strength.

“So… so!”

The next day, there will be a court meeting.

Lord Zhang submitted the memorial he had written yesterday in front of all the officials.

After reading it, His Majesty asked the eunuch Feng Bao who was accompanying him to announce the memorial in public:

"The Minister of Rites Zhang Taiyue respectfully reported: To speak frankly about the education of the people of the world, to rectify the moral principles, to clarify the duties of teachers, and to seek teachers for all generations."

"Scholars are the masters of the principles of life and the people of the world. However, since they are the masters of the principles of life and the people of the world, their responsibilities are extremely heavy. If they do not know anything about the benefits and sufferings of the people, they will not be qualified for their responsibilities. Therefore, the way of scholars should be to be fully prepared, and their responsibilities should be entrusted to education..."

This article, which consists of several thousand words, begins with the great responsibility of scholars and then talks about the sacredness and irreplaceable nature of the sages' learning.

Finally, let’s talk about the new theory that Lu Jing recently wrote in Mobei.

In his memorial, Zhang Ge Lao bluntly stated that Lu Jing’s new theory was "crazy and perverse" and "harmful to the country and the people" and should be banned immediately.

He also said that Lu Jing's theory would cause harm in the present and for thousands of years.

And Lu Jing, as the governor-general of Japan appointed by the Great Yu court, actually made such a theory, which is an even greater crime!
Lu Jing should be stripped of all his positions immediately, thrown into prison, and await his fate!
Finally, Lord Zhang stated that he was the one who recommended Lu Jing in the first place, but he did not know that this man was so treacherous that he seemed loyal, and he was deceived by him, so he asked his superiors to punish him.

After the eunuch Feng Bao finished reading the memorial, Lord Zhang immediately knelt on the ground and waited for his punishment.

However, Zhang Ge Lao's utmost efforts to refute and suppress Lu Jing made officials from Gao Ge Lao and other factions look at each other in bewilderment.

How come these two officials, who were inseparable before, suddenly turned against each other?

And it was turned over so thoroughly!

Lord Zhang was almost about to ask the king to order the flag to go and kill Lu Jing immediately.

Faced with such harsh words in the memorial, Zhang Ge Lao obviously drew a line between himself and that Lu Jing. He was also clearly trying to show goodwill to Gao Ge Lao.

Therefore, if we request to punish Zhang Ge Lao at this time, it will leave a harsh impression on the scholars and the court.

So Lord Gao immediately stepped forward with full energy to ask for mercy on behalf of Lord Zhang.

On the throne, the Emperor Jingyu sighed impatiently: "This is indeed not your fault, Zhang Taiyue. Even I was deceived by Lu Jing. Who would have thought that he, a reckless man promoted from the Zhen'an Division, would make such a name for himself in the tiny country of Japan, and even imitate the scholars to come up with theories."

"Who does he think he is?"

"Do you really think you are a top-ranking scholar?"

"You don't have the ability, but you want to study. What you come up with is a mess, and your rebellious nature is obvious."

Emperor Jingyu was already in his forties. Because he had been suppressed by the previous emperor, who was as clever as a demon, Emperor Jingyu had been indulging in pleasure since he ascended the throne.

Fortunately, he had a good teacher.

After handing over all court affairs to Gao Ge Lao, Emperor Jingyu began to enjoy himself with peace of mind.

But that doesn't mean he's brainless.

On the contrary, Emperor Jingyu was definitely smarter than most people, as he was able to survive the struggle between Prince Jing, the Yan faction and a group of ministers in the previous emperor's dynasty and ascend the throne himself.

So he saw the core idea of ​​Lu Jing's academic work at a glance.

That's simply teaching people all over the world how to rebel!

How could Emperor Jingyu keep such a person?
Even if we no longer have that cash cow from Japan in the future, Lu Jing must be killed.

What's more... with the talented people of Dayu, is there no one who can take over Lu Jing's Japan and develop it further?

There must be.

So Emperor Jingyu said directly: "Zhang Taiyue, Lu Jing was recommended in the beginning, and he has been transferred several times in the past few years. Since you took the lead in refuting him this time, the matter of punishing him will also be handed over to you."

"Just consider it as your meritorious service for your crime."

Since Lord Zhang was the first to jump out and criticize Lu Jing, it means that Lord Zhang is eager to draw a clear line between himself and Lu Jing.

At this time, it would be best to let Lord Zhang deal with Lu Jing.

If Lu Jing is not dealt with to death, officials from Gao Gelao and other factions will take advantage of the situation.

Pull down Zhang Ge Lao as well.

After all, he is an important minister in the cabinet. Who wouldn't covet that position?
When Zhang Juzheng heard this, his already gloomy face suddenly darkened even more.

Zhang Ge Lao said in a deep voice:

"Sir, obey the order."
