After April, the climate is suitable, neither hot nor cold, even if it is a faint monarch like Emperor Ling, it is not good to waste government affairs, and it is rare to deal with government affairs in the Chongde Palace.

In Liu Bian's opinion, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but for some reason, Zhang Rang did not arrange for him to go to Chongde Hall for a long time, even if Liu Bian sent Zhao Chun to urge, Zhang Rang did not arrange it immediately.

Liu Wei was suspicious in his heart, so he pretended not to care and asked Zhao Chun: "...... Apart from my father, is there anyone else in the Chongde Palace?"

Zhao Chun hesitated, but still told the truth: "There is also Lu Shangshu." ”

Liu Bian's heart suddenly became clear that Zhang Rang didn't want him to meet Lu Zhi.

He snorted coldly in his heart, and thought unhappily: This old thing still needs to be beaten, and he still wants to influence me even now.

Thinking of this, he pretended to be eager and said to Zhao Chun: "I can't wait, Zhao Chun, you go to Chongde Hall with me!"

"Uh......"

Zhao Chun was a little hesitant and wanted to say something, but saw Liu Bian's eyes glaring: "Hmm?"

Immediately, Zhao Chun changed his words: "Yes! ”

That being said, but in fact, there is nothing to arrange, Zhao Chun has a palace order, how can he arrange for Liu Wei to go to Chongde Hall to meet with Emperor Ling?

Just run through it!

After a while, Liu Wei didn't bring anything, only Zhao Chun and the two little eunuchs, and went straight to the Chongde Palace.

On the way, some patrolling guards watched him curiously, after all, Liu Wei's death of Feng Yu in public that day also had a far-reaching impact in the palace, at least now it is no longer said that he is "almost without imperial prestige";

Liu Wei didn't bother to spend energy to deal with it, after all, those people couldn't affect the general trend.

After about a stick of incense, Liu Wei, Zhao Chun and others came to the Chongde Palace, and the guards guarding outside the hall stopped him and reported to the hall at the same time.

At this time, in the hall of Chongde Palace, Emperor Ling and Shangshu Lu Zhi were handling government affairs, and Zhang Rang and a small eunuch stood from the side.

Suddenly, a guard entered the palace and announced: "Your Majesty, Shi Hou asks to see you." ”

Perhaps it was this impression of Liu Wei that gradually improved, although Emperor Ling was a little surprised, he didn't say anything, waved his hand and said, "Summons into the palace." ”

Zhang Rang's complexion changed slightly.

After a while, Liu Wei took Zhao Chun into the hall and bowed to Emperor Ling: "Father." ”

Emperor Ling put down the piece in his hand and asked, "Bian'er, what are you doing?"

Liu Wei replied: "The son learned that his father was handling government affairs here, and he came to visit. ”

Seeing this, even if Zhang Rang didn't want Liu Bian to come at this moment, he could only help Liu Bian speak at this time, and said to Emperor Ling with a smile on his face: "Shi Hou is filial, this is Your Majesty's blessing." ”

"Huh. Emperor Ling laughed, raised his hand and pointed to Lu Zhi, the Shangshu sitting in the hall, and said, "Greet Lu Shangshu." ”

Liu Wei turned to face Lu Zhi according to his words, and at this time, Lu Zhi also quickly stood up and took the lead in saluting Liu Zhi: "Minister Lu Zhi, I have seen Shi Hou." ”

"Lu Shangshu. Liu Wei returned the salute and secretly observed the other party.

According to his visual observation, this Lu Zhi is nearly fifty years old, his hair beard and temples are already gray, and his face is full of wrinkles, but his eyes are blazing, and the whole person looks quite energetic, the most amazing thing is that this Lu Shangshu is born with a sense of fortitude, perseverance, thickness and smoothness, and is worthy of being a model of contemporary gentlemen and Confucian scholars.

Speaking of which, in fact, this is not the first time he has met with Lu Zhi, as early as a month ago, he had met this Lu Shangshu in Dongguan, but at that time, in order not to arouse the vigilance of the ten permanent servants, he did not have too much contact with Lu Zhi, and even showed disapproval of this Lu Shangshu.

But in fact, among the ministers in the court today, Liu Wei respects this Lu Shangshu the most, he is familiar with the deeds of this person, and he knows very well that this virtuous minister is loyal, upright, incorruptible, not afraid of power, not for personal gain, all say that no one is perfect, but this Lu Shangshu can be called a 'perfect person', which can be called a 'perfect person', which can be called unblemished, and even Zhang Rang has no way to take it.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Rang is so jealous of Lu Zhi and unwilling to let Liu Wei contact him.

It's a pity that Zhang Rang didn't expect that Liu Bian would not be at his mercy, no, today Liu Bian came to Chongde Hall without informing Zhang Rang in advance, and Zhang Rang was caught off guard.

"Shi Hou. ”

Just when Liu Wei and Lu Zhi were observing each other, Zhang Rang walked up to Liu Wei and whispered: "Your Majesty and Lu Shangshu still have to deal with government affairs, it is better for Shi Hou to go to the side hall first......"

"You wanted to take me away when I first came?"

Liu Wei glanced at Zhang Rang without leaving a trace, and decided in his heart that he would definitely knock this old thing when he had the opportunity.

But at the moment, he didn't have time to talk to Zhang Rang, so he turned back to Emperor Ling and said, "Father, can you let your sons see these pieces?"

"What do you want to do?" the Spirit Emperor asked puzzled.

I saw Liu Bianzheng say: "Erchen wants to learn to handle government affairs, share worries for his father, and contribute to my Han." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Ling, Zhang Rang, and Lu Zhi had different expressions.

Among them, the most suspicious was the Spirit Emperor, who looked at Liu Wei with a suspicious expression, looking a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Liu Wei gave Zhang Rang a look.

In this case, Zhang Rang could only speak for Liu Wei, and said with a smile: "Shi Hou is so filial to His Majesty, and it is His Majesty's blessing to want to share his worries for His Majesty, why doesn't Your Majesty satisfy Shi Hou's filial piety?"

Emperor Ling thought for a moment, then turned his head and asked Lu Zhi again, "What did Lu Shangshu say?"

"The minister did not dare to speak presumptuously. Lu Zhi glanced at Liu Wei and said, "However, the minister thinks that although Shi Hou is young, he will have to contact government affairs sooner or later, and it should not be hindered if he contacts it earlier." ”

After saying this, he and Zhang Rang glanced at each other, and immediately both of them frowned.

Obviously, these two people probably didn't expect that one day they would agree on an opinion.

Seeing that Lu Zhi and Zhang Rang both agreed, Emperor Ling agreed, and immediately ordered someone to move a small case, and let Liu Wei sit behind the case and read the recitals of the ministers.

Of course, those that have been reviewed by Emperor Ling and Lu Zhi are considered learning.

After thanking Emperor Ling, Liu Wei sat down behind the small case and flipped through the pieces that Zhang Rang personally moved to his case.

These recitals were all submitted by the two capitals and local officials, and the descriptions were naturally not trivial matters.

For example, the first piece that Liu Wei read was played by Zhongmu and Xu Han.

Although the imperial court sent Liu Wei's second uncle, Henan Yin He Miao to lead the army to destroy the Xingyang thieves, but the local construction of Xingyang and Zhongmu was seriously damaged, so the new Zhongmu ordered Xu Han to play the imperial court, imploring the imperial court to exempt the tax of the year, and at the same time hoping that the imperial court would send grain relief.

Finally, Lu Zhi's reply allowed the transfer of Henan's grain to help Zhongmu.

The second part is Jing Zhao Yin's play, saying that there is a corner of a palace in Chang'an Weiyang Palace that collapsed due to disrepair, injuring several people, and asking whether to build the palace.

Finally, Emperor Ling's approval ordered the palace to be renovated immediately.

The third is impeachment, Xingyang ordered Yang Song to impeach Zheng Tai, the servant of the imperial history, for conniving at the domestic servants, and collecting the fields cheaply after the Xingyang thieves made a rebellion, which was a disaster for the township.

After all, Zheng Tai and Lu Zhi are both leaders of scholars, and it is not surprising that the ten permanent servants could not find a handle on Zheng Tai, so they hit his relatives and family servants.

Finally, it was Lu Zhi's review, and the imperial history thoroughly investigated the matter.

In the following time, Liu Wei flipped through more than a dozen pieces in a row, to be honest, these pieces did make him feel a little bored, and at the same time he felt a little suspicious, who made the biggest thing in these pieces of music is to renovate the Weiyang Palace and impeach the imperial Shi Zheng Tai? Is this world really so peaceful?

Liu Wei glanced at Zhang Rang without leaving a trace, and suspected that Zhang Rang had secretly hidden some pieces.

Don't look at Lu Zhi as a scholar, but as Emperor Ling's favorite minister, Zhang Rang was able to come into contact with the concerts in these places before Lu Zhi, and even the passages reviewed by Emperor Ling and Lu Zhi may have been 'screened' by Zhang Rang.

Otherwise, why are there no local officials who have reported and impeached the brothers and disciples of the Ten Standing Attendants? Why are there no natural disasters or military rebellions?

In Liu Bian's impression, the four years of Zhongping are not a peaceful year in the world, there have been rebellions in Xiliang Han Sui, Yuyang Zhang Chun, Changsha District Xing and the Southern Xiongnu, the latter few may not have happened for the time being, but the rebellion in Xiliang happened two years ago, but strangely, Liu Wei did not see the relevant reports.

Just when Liu Wei was secretly guessing, Emperor Ling suddenly put down the chapter and made a movement to stretch his muscles and bones.

Zhang Rang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, aren't you tired, why don't you go to the inner hall to rest for a while?"

It could be seen that Emperor Ling, who had been hollowed out by the wine, was indeed a little tired, nodded in response to Zhang Rang's suggestion, and turned his head to see that Liu Wei was still reading the chapter seriously, so he said: "Bian'er, I went to the inner hall to rest, if you are also tired, go back to the hall to rest." ”

Liu Wei glanced at Zhang Rang, who was standing beside Emperor Ling, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: Zhang Rang is not here, isn't this a great opportunity to contact Lu Zhi?

So he hurriedly said: "Father, the son is still tired, and I want to watch it for a while." ”

Emperor Ling nodded and didn't say anything more, got up and walked towards the inner hall, but Zhang Rang next to him frowned and glanced at Liu Wei, and then at Lu Zhi, his expression was a little anxious.

But in the end, Zhang Rang still followed Emperor Ling to the inner hall.

Emperor Ling and Zhang let him go, and Liu Wei immediately shook his spirits and set his eyes on Lu Zhi.

Although there is still Zhao Chun beside him, Zhao Chun can basically be regarded as his person, as long as he doesn't make it too obvious and make Zhao Chun suspicious - after all, Lu Zhi's name is too loud, and the deterrent effect on the eunuchs in the palace is too strong, if Liu Bian's attraction is too obvious, Zhao Chun will inevitably be suspicious.

Perhaps sensing Liu Wei's gaze on him, Lu Zhi stopped the pen in his hand and asked curiously, "Why does Shi Hou look at the minister like this?"

I have to say that his impression of Liu Wei is actually not bad, although he is very worried that this Shi Hou is too close to the eunuchs in the palace, but since the beginning he has been faintly aware that although this Shi Hou is young, he is very assertive as Cai Yan said, and even Zhang Rang can't seem to influence it, which makes Lu Zhi inevitably have some thoughts and want to take this opportunity to get in touch.

Thinking about it, he didn't expect that Liu Wei was annoyed at the moment: You Lu Zi are a well-known Confucian in the world, and you can't even deliver what you like?

"How can we get the support of this Lu Shangshu without arousing the suspicion of Zhang Rang and Zhao Chun?"

Liu Wei turned all kinds of thoughts in his heart.

Don't look at Lu Zhi in the middle of the court, but there are many people who respect him, especially the two disciples of Lu Zhi, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei.

Leave the former aside, the latter Liu Biana is too familiar, Uncle Liu Huang, and Liu Guanzhang, if they can bring Lu Zhi and Liu Bei, the two teachers and students, under his command, why worry about the changes in the Luoyang Palace two years later?
