I'm sorry, I'm going to start training
"Lu Shangshu participated in the pacification of the Yellow Turban Rebellion a few years ago?"
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Wei decided to use this topic as his opening statement.
Lu Zhi was stunned and asked curiously, "Shi Hou also knows about this?"
Liu Wei deliberately used words to lure Lu Zhi: "That is the biggest catastrophe of my Han Dynasty since Emperor Guangwu, how can I not know?"
"Yes......" Lu Zhi nodded with emotion, sighed lightly and fell into deep thought, which made Liu Wei suffocated.
He said in his heart: You are talking, how can I take it if you don't open your mouth?
Just when Liu Wei was secretly anxious, Zhang Rangxing hurriedly returned to the hall and asked with a somewhat vigilant smile: "What are Shi Hou and Lu Shangshu talking about?"
Lu Zhi, who was still smiling on his face, put away his smile when he saw this, and glanced at Zhang Rang as if he had a deep meaning, perhaps he also realized that his distraction might have caused him to lose a good opportunity to let the Shi Hou in front of him understand the real situation of the Great Han.
To make matters worse, there are also Zhang Rang's natural allies in the palace......
"Shi Hou and Lu Shangshu were talking about the Yellow Turban Rebellion a few years ago. Zhao Chun, who was standing behind Liu Wei, suddenly spoke.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion?
Zhang Rang's color changed slightly, and his gaze at Lu Zhi became more and more vigilant.
Some people may ask, since Zhang Rang knew that Lu Zhi was a hidden danger, why didn't he make false accusations and try to remove Lu Zhi from his position as a secretary of the book as he did with others?
The reason is simple, I sued, but I didn't sue down.
At that time, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Lu Zhi led the army to crusade against the Yellow Turbans and encircled Zhang Jiao in Guangzong, when Emperor Ling sent Xiaohuangmen Zuo Feng to Lu Zhi's army to supervise, and the latter took the opportunity to ask Lu Zhi for bribes.
Who was Lu Zhi? A model of virtuous ministers in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a truly honest and upright official, just looking at the fact that he only had a single coat on his body when he died, how could he have any money to bribe angels?
So Zuo Feng, who was rejected by Lu Zhi, held a grudge, and after returning to Luoyang, he framed Lu Zhi in front of Emperor Ling, causing Emperor Ling to be furious and sent someone to press Lu Zhi back to Luoyang in a prisoner car.
Later, Zuo Zhonglang pacified the Yellow Turban of Yanzhou and Jizhou by Huangfu Song, wrote to Emperor Ling, and pushed the credit for pacifying the Yellow Turban of Jizhou to Lu Zhi, and interceded for Lu Zhi.
At first glance, this money looks like a lot, but compared with the officials of the DPRK and China in the same period, it is nothing at all.
For example, Cui Lie, a famous scholar in Youzhou who was the court lieutenant at the time, found Mrs. Fu Mucheng, the mother of Emperor Ling, and spent 5 million yuan to buy the position of Situ.
Lu Zhi is the minister of 2,000 stones!
As a result, Zuo Feng not only failed to frame Lu Zhi, but let Emperor Ling know about Lu Zhi's integrity, sighed, and issued an edict to reinstate Lu Zhiguan and still serve as Shangshu.
This time, Lu Zhi was a blessing in disguise, and since then, Jian has become one of Emperor Ling's most trusted courtiers in the emperor's heart, and even Zhang Rang has no way to take him, respecting and fearing him, and avoiding him.
And after Lu Zhi experienced this incident, he became more and more fearless of eunuchs.
Just like at this moment, he glanced at Zhao Chun with an unswerving expression, and said directly: "The minister thinks that Shi Hou should not get too close to the palace attendants. ”
In fact, Liu Wei was also dissatisfied with Zhao Chun's 'ventilating news' to Zhang Rang, but at the moment he had no time to care, after all, the top priority was to make Lu Zhi see his vision and ability in the presence of Zhang Rang and Zhao Chun.
Thinking of this, he preemptively asked Lu Zhi, "Why did Lu Shangshu say this? Could it be that the regular attendant in the palace has anything to do with the Yellow Turban Thief?"
Lu Zhi did not disappoint Liu Wei, and immediately said: "In the past, Zhang Jun played in Langzhong, so Zhang Jiao was able to raise troops and make rebellion, and coerce millions, and its source was that the ten permanent servants put their fathers, brothers, children, marriage clans, and guests to pawn the state and county, and they were guilty of wealth and profit, and invaded the people, and the people's grievances were not told, so they plotted against each other and gathered as 'thieves'. ”
Zhang Rang was shocked and scolded angrily: "Lu Zi, don't let you spew blood!"
After saying that, he hurriedly gave up his hand to Liu and said: "The sergeant of the court, he has long wanted to eradicate us and other palace servants, so he framed us in the name of thieves and chaos, Shi Hou must not listen to Lu Zigan's one-sided words." ”
Liu Wei pressed his hand to signal Zhang Rang to be calm and not to be impatient, and then said calmly: "Since I entered the palace, many people thought I was young and ignorant, but in fact, I have a Libra ...... in my heart."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Lu Zhi, and said, "Lu Shangshu, you said that the palace attendants let go of their fathers, brothers, children, marriage clans, and guests to invade the wealth of the people, so what about the scholars?"
After a pause, he raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Rang and said: "Zhang Gong told me some time ago that he served Shi Zheng Tai and secretly befriended the world's heroes, who were famous all over the world, and his family had 400 hectares of fertile land that was not enough for the guests to eat;
Zhang Rang, who was originally anxious in his heart, was no longer anxious when he heard Liu Wei's words that were obviously biased towards their palace attendants, but looked at Lu Zhi gloatingly, and even framed him: "Shi Hou Mingjian, how can we be as good as the sergeants when it comes to indulging fathers and brothers, children, marriage clans, and guests in the prefectures and counties, and violating the people?"
Liu Wei pressed his hand and said: "Let's listen to Lu Shangshu." ”
Lu Zhi was stunned, then frowned and said, "...... It has always been given by the imperial court. ”
"Huh. ”
Liu Wei chuckled, looked at Lu Zhi and said, "Since Lu Shangshu is so determined, do you dare to join forces with me to play my father's emperor and send people to thoroughly investigate the prefectures, counties and counties?
Hearing this, Zhang Rang was a little flustered at first, after all, their buttocks were indeed unclean, but when he turned his head to look at Lu Zhi, and saw that Lu Zhi also showed hesitation, he suddenly had the confidence to ask, and asked in a sharp voice: "What? Lu Zi is doing? Do you dare?"
I have to say that it was probably during this period of time that the sergeants of the court did force the ten permanent servants tightly, so that Zhang Rang did not hesitate to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 himself, and also wanted to make some counterattacks.
“......”
Under the gazes of Liu Wei, Zhang Rang, and Zhao Chun with different expressions, Lu Zhi frowned and said nothing.
It's not that he has any problems with himself, just like Liu Wei knows, Lu Zhi and Lu Zigan can be called models of contemporary gentlemen and virtuous ministers, and they don't have any stains on themselves, the problem lies in the entire scholar group, even if he knows that there are a handful of people in the world's camp, they are actually not clean.
Seeing this, Liu Wei said calmly: "My teacher Shi Daoren tried to say to me, things in this world are not black and white, just say that the palace attendants, when I was outside the palace, I also heard that the palace attendants accepted bribes, and there were some other things, but I believe that the palace attendants know where their power comes from, and they will not really do anything unfavorable to my Han." Otherwise, if my Great Han Kingdom will not exist, how can the palace attendants ensure the power in their hands?
"Ah......h
Zhang Rang looked at Liu Wei in amazement, and suddenly felt that the Shi Hou in front of him had become a little unfamiliar, and even, he faintly felt an indescribable oppressive force from this Shi Hou, who was nearly ten years old, as if this Shi Hou actually knew what they were doing from the beginning.
"Yes, we will never dare to do anything that harms the Han family. Zhang Rang suddenly subconsciously arched his hand, faintly feeling more restrained than when he was in front of the Spirit Emperor.
"......" Lu Zhi looked at this scene in surprise.
At this time, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Lu Zhi again, and continued: "In the same way, the sergeants of the court, I don't think that all of them are brave and loyal people, for example, in addition to the matter of the palace servants, Lu Shangshu has ever thought that if Zhang Changshi, Zhao Changshi, and Guo Changshou are gone, who will manage the forbidden province of the harem, and who will serve my father, emperor, and mother? ”
Lu Zhi was surprised that this Shi Hou's conversation at the moment was not quite like a ten-year-old child, and he said with a straight face: "The minister has never said that the palace servants are all corrupt people, such as Xu Yan and Li Xun, the chamberlains of Dongguan, and the ministers also admire them......"
"I know them. Liu Wei nodded, but then shook his head and said, "They can't." ”
"Why?" Lu Zhi asked, puzzled.
"Why? Of course, it's because these people are too close to the sergeants, and if these people are allowed to take charge of the forbidden province in the palace, then the sergeants won't be overturned?"
Liu Wei thought secretly, and suddenly said with a smile: "Su asked Lu Shangshu about the past and the present, and this question was left to Lu Shangshu to think about slowly. ”
Lu Zhi was afraid that he didn't expect that he was nearly fifty years old and was tested by a ten-year-old child, and he was stunned and funny, but it was undeniable that Liu Wei's performance really surprised him.
He originally thought that this Shi Hou had been deceived by the palace attendants, but it turned out that as Cai Yan said, this Shi Hou had his own firm subjectivity.
"It's not too early, let's stop here today, so as not to disturb Lu Shangshu's handling of government affairs. ”
Liu Wei stood up and said goodbye to Lu Zhi.
Zhang Rangru was relieved, and hurriedly said: "The old minister sent Shi Hou ......"
And Lu Zhi also got up and gave him away, probably because of Liu's speech, which made him think that he could no longer regard this highness as a child.
A moment later, under Zhang Rang's send-off, Liu Wei took Zhao Chun and left the Chongde Palace.
At the moment when he walked down the stone steps in front of Chongde Palace, Liu Wei stopped and turned his head to look at Zhang Rang: "How did I behave?"
Zhang Rang was shocked, after all, today's Liu Wei made him feel extremely strange, not at all like a ten-year-old child.
Licking his lips, Zhang Rang praised repeatedly: "It is reasonable and well-founded, so that Lu Zigan is speechless, if His Majesty learns, he will also be amazed by His Highness's talent." ”
"Huh. ”
Liu Wei laughed, and immediately said to Zhang: "To persuade my father, I have to help Zhang Gong from the side." ”
Zhang Rang was shocked in his heart, and only promised: "The old minister must do his best!"
"Good. ”
Liu Wei nodded, patted Zhang Rang's arm for the first time and said, "When I inherit the throne one day, I will never treat Zhang Gong badly." ”
“...... Thank you, Your Highness. ”
At the same time, Lu Zhi was still in the Chongde Palace, thinking about the question that Liu Wei had left him.
In the evening of the same day, Zhang Rang urgently summoned Zhao Zhong and Guo Sheng to tell them all about what happened in Chongde Hall today.
"I can't imagine that Shi Hou is hiding ...... deeply"
Zhao Zhong and Guo Sheng were also shocked when they heard this, but after thinking about it, this matter didn't seem to hinder them.
Just like Guo Sheng said: "Since Shi Hou is willing to be friendly with us, what does the prince have to worry about?"
"Having said that......" Zhang Rang still looked a little troubled, and then glanced at Zhao Zhong, who also frowned and said nothing.
Probably the two of them have realized at this time that the days of favoring the two of them like the Spirit Emperor will probably not be there again in the future.
Because the future Xinjun seems to be an even more remarkable figure.
During this period, Lu Zhi also came to Dongguan and told Yang Biao and Ma Riyan about today's events, and Yang Biao and Ma Riyan were also very surprised.
