Lu Sheng wrung his eyebrows and said disapprovingly: "In this way, wouldn't it push the Yu family to the cusp of the wind and waves?" ”

Old Man Lin didn't speak, just nodded helplessly. Looking at the thin sunlight and the mottled shadows left on the ground, his lips squirmed a few times, and the corner of his eye swept Lu Sheng's somewhat solemn face, and finally swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

Lu Sheng was keenly aware of Old Man Lin's abnormality. My heart turned a thousand times, but there was nothing strange on my face. After thinking about it for a while, he said softly: "After the will to enter the capital arrives in Jiangzhou, I will rush to the capital as soon as possible.

Here in Jiangzhou, I also ask Uncle Lin to take more care of it. As he spoke, he gave Old Man Lin a deep bow.

The light in Old Man Lin's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, you don't need to say it, I will take care of the affairs in the house." As for the Yamen······ You explain to the master, if there is any difficult case, come to the house. It's okay for me to come up with ideas for her. ”

"Huh!" Lu Sheng smiled, knowing that this old man was pretending to be confused. However, he didn't expose it, and said softly: "I heard that Brother Xian'er has encountered a few tricky things on the side of the 'Forestry' Academy. If you have time, give it a guide. ”

Old Man Lin put his hands behind his back, looked at the few small birds jumping around on the branches leaning upwards, and sighed in a low voice: "This little girl of the Yu family ······" After a while, he said with a smile, "This is nothing, when Brother Xian'er comes back, I will talk to him more." ”

Lu Sheng knew that Old Man Lin was interested in Lan. It's just that you have to bet more chips on her, but you have to weigh it. However, this is enough. As long as Old Man Lin has such an idea, he will not sit idly by and ignore Lan Xin when he encounters a crisis.

Lu Sheng and Old Man Lin continued to walk along the bluestone paved path. Thinking of the many things that happened to Beijing this time, I couldn't help but feel a little dull.

He groaned for a while and said in a low voice: "Back then, after the emperor took power, Old Man Fang went into hiding, and everyone in the court admired him very much. Even the emperor praised him and was grateful. It's just ······ Why is this happening? ”

Old Man Lin slowed down and said in a low voice: "A person who knows how to judge the situation and can retreat bravely in the rapids is the wisest move, which is admirable. But if you take retreat as advance, you can do things like building plank roads in the open and Chen Cang in the dark. That's disgusting! ”

Belch? Lu Sheng's footsteps paused, and then he went through what Old Man Fang had done in the past few years.

When Old Man Fang just went to Xuzhou to retreat, everyone in the court speculated that the Fang family would definitely rise soon. Almost everyone thought that he would become the youngest official secretary. Mrs. Fang was praised as a guest of honor in the capital. The carriages at the door of Fang's house were even more endless.

However, three years later, after the original secretary of the ministry was sent to the office, the emperor did not let Fang Mingyuan, who had the highest appeal, take over the position of the secretary of the ministry, but transferred a person from the Hanlin Academy to serve in the past.

This matter, not to mention that the ministers couldn't figure it out, even Old Man Fang didn't expect it.

In the later deployment of officials, Fang Mingyuan was not only not promoted, but was reprimanded by the emperor several times. Although he was not demoted, his status was also in jeopardy. Gradually, those ministers who saw the wind and steered the rudder began to slowly alienate themselves from the Fang family and switch to other subordinates.

After a few times, Old Man Fang couldn't sit still. I have been in contact with my old ministry many times, and I vaguely heard that he intends to get close to the second prince.

Old Man Lin stopped on an empty grass, and Lu Sheng also stopped. Although I know that there is no way to hide people in such a place, no one will eavesdrop. But Lu Sheng still looked around cautiously.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he asked, "Uncle Lin has something to say?" ”

"Hmm!" Old Man Lin nodded solemnly, and the corner of his eye took in everything around him, "The emperor is not a mediocre person. can't say anything about the world, at least in the palace, there is nothing that can be hidden from his eyes. ”

Lu Sheng was shocked, frowned and asked, "Uncle Lin means that the emperor has already ······ about us asking Grandpa Chang for help." Knowing three words, it's like having a thousand pounds, and I can't say anything.

"Eighty percent of the time." Old Man Lin said bluntly, "You should know by now what you are going to do?" ”

Lu Sheng didn't answer immediately, just squinted his eyes and thought quietly.

Old Man Lin didn't bother him either, and let him figure it out for himself. lest you make a mistake in front of the emperor when you get it. It is small to make the emperor angry, if it makes the emperor suspicious. I'm afraid that the entire Lu family will not have good fruit to eat.

And this time, the monstrous merit has become a life-urging charm.

After thinking about it carefully, Lu Sheng sighed faintly: "Actually, since the day I chose to come to Jiangzhou to serve, I have already had a choice. "Although the relationship with the Fang family is inextricably linked, everyone has a different path to take, isn't it?

Well! Old Man Lin stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, just know the path he wants to take! There is no need to be hostile to the Fang family, but political discord is also a common thing in officialdom.

Don't talk about it from afar, just talk about the Fang family's robbery of people's credit this time, it's not authentic. If Lu Sheng didn't have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong in his heart, he would have to make another plan for the Lin family and his granddaughter.

After listening to Old Man Lin's analysis of the current situation, Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment, but still told Lu Zhendong about it, "······ That person, I've seen. Brave and strategic, he is a rare general. Although he was friendly with the Liu family and the Yang family, he found another way and took the path of ascension. “

"Oh?" Old Man Lin's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but groan, "I have to say, he chose the right path." Right now, what the emperor needs is this kind of pure minister. It's just ······ It is worth pondering how to go on the road behind him. “

In the capital, the dark tide is surging, and all forces are recruiting talents for themselves. I don't know if this young man can grasp his heart and be a pure minister that the emperor can rest assured of.

The messengers in the capital entered Jiangzhou City in the evening, and when the sky was bright, Lu Sheng took Lu Qiu and rushed to the capital in a light car. Before leaving, he specially asked someone to send a letter to Lan Xin, telling her that if she encountered something difficult, she could go to the house to discuss it with Old Man Lin.
