Zhang didn't know what it was like to hear this, neither joy, nor annoyance, nor sadness, and muttered: "I don't cry, if you die, I won't live, let Sister Belle be widowed for you." ”

Zhen Ming was drunk physically and mentally when he heard this, and he wore a jade jade pendant for her as a treasure, the pendant was embedded in her deep cleavage, looking condescendingly, such as a leaf of emerald green in two lumps of mutton fat white jade, noble and elegant, he looked at her in the mirror, this first beauty in Luoyang is nourished by love, and now she is a beautiful young woman with all kinds of charms, and it is a beautiful young woman who belongs to him alone.

He gently rubbed her delicate cheeks with the back of his hand, looked at the flower-like face in the mirror, and his eyes were sincere as never before: "With you and Belle, I am very content, and I also cherish my life, without the pride and ambition of Hu Lu who is not extinguished, let alone the courage to be the first in the world, since blood and war can no longer be avoided, then what I can do is to try to keep you away from the war and avoid being affected." ”

Zhang said softly: "But if it's for Sister Belle, your rhetoric is useless, right?" Xianggong, I'm sorry, only this time, I won't force you to do anything you don't like in the future......"

Zhen Ming was stunned when he heard this, "What do you mean by this?" ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Zhang's eyes, and before she could speak, Xiao Ying's announcement came from the door: "Master, Master Gao of Gaofu asked someone to send a message to let you go to Gaofu to talk about it." ”

Zhen Mingku became more and more suspicious, because the charming smile on Zhang's face became more and more suspicious.

……

Gao Fuzhong.

Gao Shilian sat on the upper seat of the living room, finished the last sentence, and then looked at Zhen Mingku, who was silent on the side, the two had been sitting in the living room for most of the hour.

"I have already told you what I should say, now the Wagang army is besieging the city, both land and water roads are cut off, although Luoyang is short of food, rely on your new type of textile machine, now the Gao family's clothing is piled up, unable to go out of the city, the price is as cheap as grass, the Gao family's clothing business has plummeted, the sales are not smooth, it is related to the livelihood of hundreds of people in my Gao family, the emperor summoned me to the palace a few days ago, talking about this matter, said that the only person who can solve the siege of Luoyang is you, the general of the secret guard......"

Gao Shilian said, paused, sighed and said: "Originally, the old man didn't want to have anything to do with you, but Belle's girl is stubborn, if she is forced to do something, I am afraid that she will do something stupid, if you really want to marry her, show sincerity, help the Gao family through this predicament, let the Gao family agree to your marriage, maybe the old man can also push the boat and marry you at that time." ”

Zhen Mingku now understands what Zhang's sorry means, using the marriage of the eldest grandson Belle as a bargaining chip, let Gao Shilian come forward and force him to relieve the siege of Luoyang, such a condition really makes it difficult for him to refuse, no wonder she is confident.

He suddenly guessed that when he broke up with Yang Tong in the palace that day, the Zhang family secretly gave Yang Tong the idea, and Gao Shilian came forward as a lobbyist, and the certainty of persuading him was indeed greater than anyone else.

Knowing that it was Zhang's trick, he couldn't afford to blame her at all, so that Gao Shilian could change his mind and agree to his marriage to Belle, and marry her back home in the name of righteousness, which he had been thinking about for the past few days, and Zhang's move helped him solve a big problem that had plagued him for so long.

It's just that it is not easy to repel the Wagang army.

Gao Shilian saw that he was silent, and finally said: "The day when the Wagang Army is repelled is when Belle marries into your Zhen family, the old man has other things, General Zhen, please go back." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhen Ming's hard reply, he got up and chased away the guests.

……

Zhen Ming rode the street, absent-mindedly, looking at the depressed scene in Luoyang City, there was no longer the bustling and lively when he came to Luoyang at the beginning, the autumn breeze was bleak, and occasionally a few ragged old beggars curled up in the corners of the streets, shivering from the cold.

The pedestrians of Luoyang Street are sparsely populated, and the people of Luoyang have been arrested after years of war, and eight out of ten have died on the battlefield, except for those noble princes, almost every family has relatives who died on the battlefield due to the war.

A sense of powerlessness welled up in my heart.

Even if they have more than 1,000 years of insight and technological means beyond this era, they are powerless to change the hearts of the people of this era, the feudal autocracy of etiquette and strict hierarchy is deeply rooted, and the people will only rise up to resist when they have no way to survive, so that when they resist, they often vent their unwarranted anger with extreme hatred and destruction, destroying the enemy and destroying themselves.

As far as he knows, this stubborn disease requires external forces to be completely destroyed after decades or even hundreds of years, and then it will be broken and then established, so that the people in this system can wake up from their slumber, and then reflect, even if they reflect, it will take at least hundreds of years or even hundreds of years to be partially corrected, and if there is no better system and universal values to replace the feudal culture of etiquette and religion, which leads to the stubborn imperial system, in the next thousand years, this kind of reincarnation has been repeatedly staged on the land of China, from prosperity to decline, from great rule to great chaos, People don't know why they fight.

Those who don't want to save themselves, the gods are also difficult to save, and those who rise up to resist are all willing to become robbers and thieves, oppressing the weak and good, and those in power are all for their own selfishness, and they are hot-headed by the desire for power, and gradually become selfish, greedy, and narrow-minded.

Despite this, there are still so many poor women like Yue'er, Zhao Yan and Yu Wenqing, who are powerless to fight for their fate, and in the corner where the sun does not shine, they may be suffering inhuman torture.

Perhaps, he should try to give Yang Tong a chance, and also give a hope to so many helpless women like the Zhang family in Luoyang, even if it is very slim, at least what he has done, whether he succeeds or not, the Zhang family has no reason to say that he is cold-eyed and hard-hearted or something, and more importantly, he can also be recognized by the Gao family because of this, and marry the eldest grandson Belle justifiably.

He stopped his horse, was silent for a moment, then pulled the reins, turned around, and galloped away in the direction of Longmen Town, south of the city......

……

In November of the second year of Huangtai, after more than a month of bloody fighting, the Wagang army finally captured the east gate of Luoyang, and took the east city gate tower as a stronghold to march into Luoyang City.

The Wagang army poured into the city and occupied a large number of houses in the eastern part of the city.
