Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

Lu Dongli was caught in a dilemma by Xie Lang. He was a county magistrate, but he was also a Confucian scholar who was well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics. Confucianism emphasizes loyalty to the monarch. No matter how foolish the monarch was, as a subject, he could only give advice and never thought of rebellion.

There is no ambition to rebel.

But the thing was done. Xie Lang had cut off his retreat, so he had to rebel even if he didn't want to.

He hesitated for a long time, looked at the men who were trying to capture him, signaled to the soldiers guarding the county governor's mansion, and sighed: "Capture them."

The local officials in Daliang were both military and political officials. The county magistrate had military power and could dispatch part of the county's troops. This time, Wang Liang only brought a hundred men and horses. He was no match for the county magistrate's guards and was quickly controlled.

"Are you planning a rebellion?" One of the men who was restrained looked at Lu Dongli in disbelief, then shouted frantically, "This is treason, a crime punishable by the execution of all nine generations of your clan."

Before he could finish his words, he was beheaded by a dark-faced man. You know it is a rebellion, isn't it obvious?

These soldiers and guards eat the food of the county governor's office, so naturally they work for the county governor's office.

As for the imperial court? They haven't received any salary for a long time, and now the county governor's office is paying all their salaries.

"This, this, this..." The officials in the county began to panic. This was really a rebellion. This was a huge matter!

Of course, there are also ambitious people among them. County Magistrate Du Ling is one of them. He looked at Xie Lang who was sheathing her sword. This woman acted decisively. If she were a man, she would definitely be a hero.

What a pity it is a woman.

He turned his gaze back and made his position clear to Lu Dongli: "Today's emperor has lost his virtue and has been tyrannical, causing the people in the government and the public to turn against him, and the people are suffering. You, the county lord, have accumulated good deeds and are supported by the people. You should follow the example of King Tang's conquest of King Jie and King Wu's conquest of King Zhou, and punish the unjust and tyrants."

"Destroy the unjust and punish the tyrants."

Following Du Ling's words, a group of officials immediately expressed their opinions. They also could not ignore Lu Dongli's rebellion. Of course, there were also a few people who denounced it as treason, but they were all taken down by Du Ling.

Seeing this scene, Lu Dongli looked at Xie Lang, the instigator, with a complicated expression.

"My daughter, you have really caused me so much trouble!"

He really didn't expect things to develop like this, nor did he expect Xie Lang to be so bold, and he didn't expect that his subordinates would even come up with slogans for rebellion.

Without dealing with the next matter, he just said to Xie Lang: "Zhao Ping, come with me."

As he said that, he walked towards the study.

Du Ling was stunned for a moment. Shouldn't he be taking control of the situation, saying some encouraging words, and discussing what to do next? Why did he leave like that?

Xie Lang said to Du Ling, "Control the situation. I'll go talk to father."

No wonder, Du Ling suddenly realized that Xie Lang's killing of Wang Liang just now was not Lu Dongli's intention, but Xie Lang's own decision.

Lu Dongli didn't want to rebel at all, but was forced to do so by Xie Lang.

He looked at Xie Lang carefully. Why wasn't such a decisive person a man?

Why?

……

After Xie Lang entered the study, he asked someone to close the door.

"Do you know that you are putting your father on the fire?"

There were no outsiders present, and Lu Dongli was shocked and terrified at the thought of rebellion, and a little scared. As he spoke, he sat down heavily in his seat and drank several glasses of water in one breath.

He said unhappily: "I have never thought of rebelling, but thanks to you, I have no choice but to become a traitor now."

Lu Dongli is a typical scholar who takes "cultivating oneself, managing the family, governing the country and pacifying the world" as his principle in doing things. His greatest ideal and ambition is to make his king as good as Yao and Shun, and to make the customs pure and honest.

Now that he is forced to rebel, he is in tears!

"If I don't rebel, do I have to go to Chang'an and confess my crime?"

Seeing that Lu Dongli still didn't understand the situation, Xie Lang prepared to wake him up: "Father, do you think that given Xie Yuanjing's stupidity and cruelty, what are the chances of him surviving this time?"

Lu Dongli wanted to scold Xie Lang for calling the emperor by his name, but after hearing the second half of Xie Lang's words, he replied, "I dare not compare myself to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi, but I have been diligent and hardworking since I came to power, and I have never slacked off. I can be said to be worthy of the emperor and the people. Can Your Majesty kill me just because of a letter of persuasion from me?"

Lu Dongli believed that Xie Yuanjing would not be so foolish as to kill him because of a memorial. At most, he would just demote him to a remote place.

Hearing this, Xie Lang sneered, "Xie Yuanjing mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to build a paradise on earth in order to win the queen's smile. The Imperial Censor said that it was a waste of money and labor, so Xie Yuanjing cut off his tongue. A few days later, Xie Yuanjing, who was still not satisfied, killed his entire family. The Imperial Censor was one of the three highest officials, and he was treated like this for a single word. Father, you... wrote a memorial like that, so can Xie Yuanjing spare you, and your family?"

It's funny to say, the two gods came down to earth to experience tribulations, and after coming down to earth, they felt that the mortal world was not as good as the heaven, so they wanted to build a paradise on earth, saying that even in the mortal world, they had to be decent.

Since you can't stand being a mortal, then go back to heaven. What's the point of harming mortals?

"You can't rebel!" Lu Dongli is still loyal to his emperor and patriotic in his heart: "If the emperor wants his subjects to die, they have to die. Even if your majesty is wrong, he is still the emperor!"

"You want to die, but I don't want to die with you."

Xie Lang was confident that no one could kill her, but she was Lu Zhaoping now, so she still had to pretend.

"Besides, if I kill the angel, the court will soon know that my father is planning a rebellion. It will be too late to turn back."

When he said this, Lu Dongli could see that in Xie Lang's black and white eyes were endless ambition and desire.

For the first time, he felt unfamiliar with his daughter. Lu Zhaoping was his only daughter, and he had raised her as his son since she was young. He taught her everything he could, including the six arts of a gentleman and the ways of governing a country. Mainly, she was studious and very talented, so even though she was a daughter, he was willing to do his best to cultivate her.

As for his offspring, he planned to let his daughter marry a son-in-law. The daughter he had raised could not become someone else's.

But I didn't expect that she would develop such ambition.

Xie Lang then continued with the next dose of strong medicine: "Father, do you think that even if you don't rebel, the world will not be in chaos? The emperor is incompetent and the ministers in the court are only flatterers. Taxes and corvée have overwhelmed countless people. How long can such a court last? Is it necessary to be loyal to such a monarch?"

"Daliang is about to fall. Either you sink with it, or you become the one who ends Daliang's fate and ascend to the throne that symbolizes supremacy."

Lu Dongli was stunned for a while: "You are a woman, how can you have such thoughts?"

"Why not? Do I have one less arm or one less leg than a man? Or is it that men can rule the country and travel the world, while women are only fit to weave and embroider in the backyard and take care of their husbands and children?"

"I am so outstanding, and my talent is not inferior to anyone else. If I am trapped in the backyard, it will be a loss for the whole world."

"What's more, father, you only have me as your daughter. If the rebellion succeeds, the throne will not be passed to me but to someone else? In that case, father, wouldn't your rebellion be in vain?"

"Let me calm down." Lu Dongli slapped his forehead. Xie Lang's words were too stimulating to him. He needed some time to calm down.
