Responsibilities (3 below)

"I think the Prime Minister is busy and dizzy!" In the midst of the complaints, Lu Xiufu slammed the door hard, isolating the hustle and bustle of the world outside the door wall of the post house.

It was hot, and his head was sweaty. His pale face was also tinged with a sickly dark red from anger. It looks like it has just been splashed by a spark and is on the verge of exploding.

Deng Guangjian, the emperor who came to Fujian with him, smiled and temporarily put down the "Business Studies" in his hand. He poured a cup of new tea and put it in front of Lu Xiufu.

"Every time you meet in court, don't you protect Master Wen in every way? Why is he scolding him behind his back at this moment! ”。 Deng Guangjian's voice sounded a little ridiculous.

"I, I'm here to stabilize the overall situation!" Lu Xiufu didn't expect Deng Guangjian to ask like this, the blood on his face became thicker, extending from his head to his neck, "I thought Song Rui still had a bit of grace in his heart, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to ......"

He couldn't go on. People's feelings are so contradictory, if someone dares to say that Wen Tianxiang has ill intentions towards the imperial court, Mrs. Lu Xiu will definitely jump up and refute. In the past six months, the ministers have discussed in front of the Queen Mother, and Lu Xiufu has simply become Wen Tianxiang's spokesperson in the Xing Dynasty.

But Wen Tianxiang's actions did disappoint Lu Xiufu. The monarchs and ministers of the Xing Dynasty were very unaccustomed to living in Liuqiu, and contacted him several times, hoping to move the court back to Fuzhou, and Wen Tianxiang prevaricated with the instability of the war situation. Finally, the war in Fujian was stabilized, and he said that the treasury was empty, and he refused to contribute to the imperial court to another cultivation palace, nor did he refuse to build a new residence for hundreds of officials. only promised that if Xingchao came to Fujian, he would vacate the Fujian Metropolitan Governor's Mansion for the young emperor and his ministers to temporarily settle down.

What is this called? The emperor and his courtiers lived in the same courtyard, did you think they were on a boat? In the eyes of Lord Lu Xiufu, the monarch is a minister, no matter when and where, the upper and lower must be clearly distinguished. Otherwise, the Great Song Dynasty could not be called the Great Song Dynasty, but was willing to be reduced to those barbarians in the border lands, regardless of the elder and the younger. Therefore, he went to Fujian in person, hoping to influence him with his friendship with Wen Tianxiang and the righteousness in his heart, pull him back from the fork in the road, and take advantage of the pure nature of Song Rui to go not far at this time.

As a result, when I arrived in Fujian, I learned that the so-called emptiness of the treasury was just an excuse for Wen Tianxiang. At this time, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was richer than ever. Especially after winning the Battle of Yong'an, new workshops have sprung up in several large cities. With the monthly industrial and commercial tax alone, the Metropolitan Governor's Office was filled. The salaries of officials at all levels and the soldiers of the Broken Army were increased again and again, and the magnificence made Lu Xiufu, a noble man who regarded money as dung, also feel envious.

However, Wen Tianxiang had the money to pay double salaries to the soldiers, and the money to add money to the hundreds of officials, but he didn't have the money to increase the use of the dynasty. even cried poverty with Lu Xiufu, and sprinkled lime that was not cheap on the ground in vain. It is also beautifully called: "Disinfection!" ”

What he saw this morning made Lu Xiufu feel even more indignant, and the envoy from Naiyan in the north came to visit, saying that there was a lot of war on the grassland, and there was not enough money to buy a broken bow and crossbow arrows, Wen Tianxiang waved his pen, and at that time the price of the crossbow was reduced by three percent, and also promised the envoy that if there were not enough war horses, they could also use cattle and sheep to offset the request.

Lu Xiufu was very dissatisfied with this decision, and reminded him several times with a cough. But the stubborn Wen Tianxiang turned a deaf ear to Lu Xiufu's gestures until the framework of the agreement was roughly finalized. It took some time to introduce Lu Xiufu, another ruler of the Great Song Dynasty, to the envoys from Liaodong.

And the envoy who was proficient in Chinese reciprocated with a blank face, as if he didn't know that there was such a figure as Lu Xiufu in the Great Song Dynasty.

"Brother Lu didn't expect Lord Wen to become a generation of heroes, or Brother Lu didn't see Master Wen clearly from the beginning!" Deng Guangjian was not in a hurry, and asked again.

"I hate him for becoming such a stubborn person, today, Lu heard with his own ears that he sold a large ship of crossbow arrows to Naiyan's messenger at a discount!" Lu Xiufu took a sip of tea and scolded hatefully, with the taste of hatred for iron and steel.

The words "power traitor" and "gangster", no matter what, Lu Xiufu refused to add it to Wen Tianxiang's head from his mouth. In several symbolic court meetings in the Xing Dynasty, some people impeached Wen Tianxiang's dictatorship, and Lu Xiufu also defended Wen Tianxiang on the basis of reason. So much so that many officials privately scolded Lu Xiufu for being Wen Tianxiang's internal response to the emperor's side, and Wen Tianxiang's minions and accomplices. But people's thinking is so complicated, Lu Xiufu, who has always defended Wen Tianxiang, has never said a good word about Wen Tianxiang since he arrived in Fujian, and even every time he went to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to listen to it, he slapped the table and smashed the bench to vent his anger.

At this moment, Deng Guang's performance made Lu Xiufu feel even more angry. The imperial teacher, who was responsible for persuading Wen Tianxiang to take the emperor back to Fujian with a grand gift, has been obsessed with new learning since he arrived in Fujian. The newly built library in the Confucius Temple was simply rummaged through by him, and some of the novelty books collected from Dashi and other places, and who he didn't know who the author was, were borrowed by him one by one. Every day when I see the place where I rise, I can't even care about eating, let alone saying that I am working with Lu Xiufu to find a way to persuade Wen Tianxiang to change his evil ways and return to the right.

"Selling crossbows at a low price, I don't think Prime Minister Wen is necessarily wrong. As for why Liaodong Mongolia was promised to use cattle and sheep instead of war horses to settle the account, I think it is because of the lack of food in Fujian! Deng Guangjian patiently listened to Lu Xiufu's complaints, answered, and then set his eyes on the book in his hand. The two words "Business" clearly caught Lu Xiufu's eyes.

"What does Master Deng mean by this, could it be that the answer has already been written in this book!" Lu Xiufu was a little dissatisfied, and asked with the anger in the heart of the oppressor.

"This book is just a summary of some of my experiences in the maritime merchants and the major merchants on how to do business, and there is no answer in it. But Deng Mou learned some of the essence of Wenda's governance from this large pile of books. Compare the clouds in the book with the reality in front of you, although you can't see it very clearly, it's better than seeing flowers in the fog! Deng Guangjian tapped the pile of books on the table with the spine of the book, and replied in thought.

At that moment, his gaze suddenly became very deep, so deep that it was as if his soul had drifted away from the world, and he could distinguish everything clearly from a distance.

"What do you say?" Lu Xiufu was taken aback by Deng Guangjian's gaze and asked in a low voice.

"Lu Xiangke, do you remember what you and I are doing here?" Deng Guangjian smiled and asked pretending to be profound.

"Convey Your Majesty's will, and hope that Prime Minister Wen will welcome the imperial court back to Fuzhou as soon as possible." Lu Xiufu replied frankly, and at the end of the sentence, he added a sentence in his mind, "It turns out that Lord Deng also remembers that you and I are responsible, but if you don't mention it, Lu thinks that the adult has forgotten!" ”

"Hasn't Prime Minister Wen already agreed? Why haven't you returned to the court? Could it be that the adults are stranded here, and there are other plans in their hearts? Deng Guangjian's eyes drifted for a moment, ignored the thorn in Lu Xiufu's words, and continued to ask.

"If you just come back and squeeze with everyone, why does Your Majesty have to give a message to Lord Wen so solemnly!" Lu Xiufu shrugged his shoulders and replied with a wry smile.

The young emperor is an open-minded monarch, who eats and lives well, conforms to etiquette and does not choose. But the officials who followed the emperor's side may not be able to let go of this value. If you don't do everything well, it is inevitable that someone will take advantage of the problem. Xingchao is begging, because of these trivial things, the relationship with the Su family is getting stiffer and stiffer.

In order to prevent this situation from happening again, Empress Dowager Yang and others decided to send Lu Xiufu and Deng Guangjian to formally communicate with Wen Tianxiang. The construction of large-scale construction is not to blindly maintain the dignity of the royal family. To a certain extent, I also hope that after coming to Fujian, the monarchs and ministers will get along more harmoniously and not have too many misunderstandings.

Deng Guangjian also smiled bitterly a few times, and gently put the "Business Studies" in his hand on the pile of books. Then, he asked with emotion: "There are some things that the Queen Mother can't say directly, so let Lord Lu convey them." Lord Lu must have conveyed it as well. And in Lord Lu's heart, there is still a desire to persuade Lord Wen to turn back! ”

"Alas!" Lu Xiufu sighed in return. After Shao Wu had a deep talk with Wen Tianxiang that day, he thought that with his knowledge and ability, he could slowly pull Wen Tianxiang back to the right path. Therefore, he advocates that everything should be based on the big picture. When I came to Fujian again this time, I found that Wen Tianxiang did not look back, but went farther and farther on the road of departure, so far that he could no longer see his figure clearly.

"Song Rui, he is not a traitor, if he wants to usurp the throne, why send someone to save us from Yashan. It is not much better to let everyone die at the hands of the Mongols than to bear the charge of killing the king himself. All the ministers said, 'Song Rui welcomed the imperial court, but in the name of orthodoxy, he did the act of usurpation'. And Deng thought that since Yashan, Song Rui has fledgled his wings, and he doesn't need to use the imperial court at all, he can also command the world! Deng Guangjian smiled, as if he had understood everything in Wen Tianxiang's heart through a few days of flipping through books.

"I don't know that Song Rui is not a traitor, but if he continues to act recklessly like this, I am afraid that he will not want to be a traitor, and he will become a traitor. At that time, where will Banzai be, and even if Banzai can tolerate him, can he tolerate himself? Lu Xiufu sat down in a chair, with a little frustration and sadness on his face.

was told by Deng Guang's heart, and he simply stopped hiding his thoughts. Except for some officials and debaters who have ulterior motives and use finding fault and stirring up trouble as a means to become famous, most people in the Xingchao Dynasty do not understand in their hearts that Wen Tianxiang has no intention of usurping the throne. Both of his sons have died in infancy, and they have not married since the defeat of the empty pit, and there is no heir to pass on power. If power cannot be passed on to children and grandchildren, being a powerful minister in charge of government orders is not much different from being an emperor.

And with Wen Tianxiang's contribution to the Great Song Dynasty, being a powerful minister is also something that everyone can tolerate. After all, the emperor is still young now, and when the emperor grows up enough to be able to govern himself, it is not too late to mention these things that are fighting for power. By that time, Wen Tianxiang was close to the age of six, and he had established the great cause of the Zhongxing Great Song Dynasty, and it was the best choice to return the power to the emperor, which was the best choice to maintain his reputation. Wen Tianxiang is not a fool, after he has completed what he wants to do, he should know that it is in his best interest to do so.

Therefore, although almost every court meeting, there are people jumping up and down, accusing Wen Tianxiang of dictatorship, pointing out that Wen Tianxiang is not loyal enough to the emperor, and accusing Wen Tianxiang of misleading the country. But under the deliberate suppression of Lu Xiufu and others, these remarks did not set off any major turmoil.

The young emperor Zhao Yu also understood this truth very well, and once even jokingly asked Li Wenqian, the official who impeached Wen Tianxiang: "If I give you 5,000 soldiers and horses, can Qing recover all the way for me?" ”

Li Wenqian replied that he could not. The young emperor also asked a few of the courtiers who were the most happy to impeach Wen Tianxiang if they could stop the Mongols from attacking again if they handed over the power of the army to break the captives. Several ministers were silent.

So the young emperor Zhao Hao summed up with a smile, "If you can't stop the Mongols, Sheji will be gone, and the imperial court will be gone." I want to find a powerful minister and a traitor to be my subordinate, I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity! ”

Several ministers who impeached Wen Tianxiang were speechless. finally realized the fact that if Wen Tianxiang was forced too hard and forced the Breaker Army to rebel, there would be nothing left of the dynasty.

It is precisely because everyone from the emperor to the ministers recognized Wen Tianxiang's dictatorship that the decrees of the Fujian Metropolitan Governor's Office could be so unimpeded. But right now, Lu Xiufu can't see clearly, where does Wen Tianxiang want to take the Great Song Dynasty?

In order to confront the Northern Yuan, he made up a new military system, which Lu Xiufu could tolerate. Practice has also proved that this kind of change is effective and a good strategy to fight against the Mongols.

In order to confront the Northern Yuan, Wen Tianxiang reclassified the rank of generals in the Great Song Army, and created many yamen that had not been seen since ancient times in addition to the six departments. This can also be understood by the Queen Mother and the important ministers of the dynasty. After all, Wen Tianxiang is the right prime minister at this moment, and he has the power to appoint and dismiss low-level officials. And the departments he created were all subordinate to the Prime Minister's Office, which can be regarded as a temporary expedient measure for convenience.

But Lu Xiufu and several other important ministers of the Xing Dynasty couldn't understand why Wen Tianxiang took the small people as the foundation everywhere and spoke from the perspective of the small people.

He had the money to issue a ticket number and lend money to the ordinary people to do business, but he had no money to increase the royal expenses. He had the money to build a large construction project in Fujian, and in several major cities, whether it was Fuzhou and Jianpu, where the plague broke out, or Shaowu and Quanzhou, where the plague did not break out, he started digging large ditches that had not been seen since ancient times, but he did not have the money to build a simple temporary palace for the royal family, like the Yashan Palace.

What's more, he actually planned to hand over the appointment and dismissal of low-level officials to the people. Since ancient times, which dynasty and generation have allowed such a precedent for the following violations?

Let those ordinary people who don't know big characters and don't understand the righteousness make their own decisions, what if they are bewitched by others and choose to take refuge in Dayuan? Could it be that you Wen Tianxiang also listened to it, so let it go. To put it another way, if in the future, the people are not satisfied with electing the head of the district and the district, and ask for the election of the officials of a government or a county, it is rare for the metropolitan governor's office to allow them to do so. If they ask the prime minister to resign and the emperor goes to the throne, it will be rare for the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to demolish it by itself!

Wen Tianxiang was playing with fire, or he was busy with military and government affairs, so he made this kind of stupid move. In the past few days in Fujian, taking the opportunity to encourage the people to fight the plague, Lu Xiufu came into contact with several of Wen Tianxiang's right-hand men, and these hardcore supporters of Wen Tianxiang also complained about the election method that he had tried once.

Those people have neither fame, nor learning, nor military merits, so how can they be officials? They have filled up their limited official positions, and when there is no war to fight in the future, where will those brethren of the captive army who have contributed to the country be arranged?

Lu Xiufu was worried, he was not only worried about the safety of Xingchao, but also about Wen Tianxiang's own safety. He was afraid, afraid that Wen Tianxiang would continue to pervert and destroy his foundation after the plague was over, and pull the entire Dadu Governor's Mansion and the Great Song Dynasty to be martyred for his personal impulse.

"At this moment, Prime Minister Wen is dragged by the plague, and he has no time to go crazy. If one day the plague is gone, I am afraid that with the position of Lord Wen, the power he holds, and the popularity he bears, even if he goes against the grain, no one in the world can stop it. Therefore, if Lord Deng has any understanding, he hopes to give advice. Lu will thank Lord Deng for his virtue on behalf of the people of the world! After saying what he was worried about, Lu Xiufu stood up and shook Deng Guangjian to the ground.

"Lu Xiang killed Deng!" Deng Guangjian hurriedly stood up and supported Lu Xiufu with both hands. He is a man of learning, although he inevitably has the common problems of literati who like to play tricks, but he is very modest, not a sour man who feels that he is the only one in the world when he occasionally gains something.

At this moment, seeing Lu Xiufu's honest question, I was moved in my heart. He helped the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty, who was in his early forties and had an old face of sixty years away, to sit down in his seat, and then replied solemnly: "Deng Mou knows everything, and his words are endless!" ”

"Has Lu Xiangke ever heard that Prime Minister Wen has today's achievements thanks to the three volumes of Heavenly Books on Baizhang Ridge?" After the two of them sat down, Deng Guangjian asked solemnly.

"Everyone knows about it. The artillery, steel crossbows, grenades, battleships, and golden silk armor are all contained in the Book of Heaven! Lu Xiufu thought about it and replied very seriously.

"Then can these things be called sharp weapons to defeat the enemy?" Deng Guangjian asked again.

"Naturally, if there is no such thing, how can you fight against the Mongolian iron horse!" Lu Xiufu replied without hesitation.

"If Lu Xiang gets this heavenly book, or suddenly wakes up to the policy of governing the country, he will hide it at home and pass it on to his descendants. Or do you want him to benefit the world? ”

"The benefit of the world is my life's wish!" Lu Xiufu's answer was very smooth. Deep down in his heart, he thought more than once that if the lucky person favored by God was not Wen Tianxiang but himself, how would he maximize the power of the Book of Heaven. How to use this to make the Great Song Dynasty prosperous.

"If Lu Xiang gets the Book of Heaven, in addition to using it to govern the country and level the world. What else will be done? Deng Guangjian paused, pressed his hand on the pile of books, and asked.

"If the gods allow, let it be engraved and circulated in the Book of Heaven. Let my Chinese people benefit from this book for generations! Lu Xiufu jumped down from the chair, pointed at Deng Guangjian, and said "Uh! "Ugh!" Voiced. After a while, he closed his already sore mouth and sighed in a low voice: "It turns out that when you search for these books, you are searching for the true meaning of the Book of Heaven!" It turns out that in your heart, you already have a plan! ”

"According to Deng's humble opinion, if Lu Xiang wants to persuade Lord Wen to turn back, he should use his spear to attack his shield. Don't use what you've learned to admonish Master Wen again. At this moment, don't think he's the previous Great Song champion, don't think he's still Song Rui! Deng Guangjian put the stacked bookstalls on the table and said loudly.
