Lu Xiaoxian looked into the distance, in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Shangguan Shanggong, what is the matter, I can say it now!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Lu Xiaoxian, and her tone was full of the taste of the school examination: "Lu Gongzi, they all say that you are like a god, guess what, what did I come to you for?" ”

"What kind of thing is like a god, you really think I am a god? But ......" Lu Xiaoxian paused for a moment and said with a smile, "I can probably guess a thing or two about Shangguan Shanggong's intentions!" ”

"Tell me?" Shangguan Wan'er was full of smiles.

"The trip to Taozhou was escorted by Chen Xuanli and Guo Zhen, how can I have Brother Yang and Master Zhang as my followers on this trip to Yingzhou, which is in line with Your Majesty's style of doing things!"

Lu Xiaoxian's words came to his mouth, and Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but be stunned when she heard it.

Shangguan Wan'er is capable of doing things, has outstanding literary talents, and has a good reputation among hundreds of officials and scholars, and Zhang Shuo also highly respects Shangguan Wan'er. Lu Xiaoxian was just a commoner, but he talked to Shangguan Wan'er so casually, which made him very unhappy. And Lu Xiaoxian's words actually regarded himself and Yang Si as his entourage, which made him even more dissatisfied.

As soon as Lu Xiaogosi's words fell, Zhang Shuo angrily reprimanded on the side: "Your Majesty's actions, how can you comment casually?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian looked Zhang up and down, shook his head but didn't speak, just looked at Shangguan Wan'er with an inquiring gaze.

Shangguan Wan'er actually laughed as if she was reading a joke, but she didn't say anything.

Lu Xiaoxian said to Shangguan Wan'er seriously: "Please Shangguan Shanggong return to Your Majesty, if Brother Yang goes with me, I will welcome it with both hands, but Lord Zhang is different from Brother Yang, I can't afford to wait, please give Your Majesty another person!" How is it? ”

"That won't work!" Shangguan Wan'er said categorically, "Lord Zhang was appointed by His Majesty, and you must take him with you when you go to Yingzhou!" ”

"How?" Lu Xiaoxian frowned and said, "It is said that I will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and I will not even return the goods, and now I can't even return it?" ”

Zhang Shuo listened to it on the sidelines, and his heart was even more angry: Lu Xiaoxian regarded himself as an entourage just now, which was already lacking in virtue enough, but now he is becoming more and more excessive, and he actually treats himself as a commodity.

It's tolerable, it's unbearable.

Zhang said that he was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Shangguan Wan'er with a look, and when the words came to his mouth, he had to swallow them back into his stomach.

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were clear, and there was an irresistible determination in her words: "Sending Master Zhang to Yingzhou is His Majesty's appoint, and I can't tolerate Lu Gongzi's refusal!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian stared at Shangguan Wan'er without showing weakness, and after a long time, he suddenly smiled: "Maybe Shangguan Shanggong misunderstood, I have no objection to Lord Zhang and Brother Yang going to Yingzhou, but I may not be able to go!" ”

"Why?" Shangguan Wan'er was stunned.

Lu Xiaoxian said: "As we all know, Yingzhou has been occupied by the Khitan rebels, and the imperial court is about to start the army, and many people can't hide if they want to." Lord Zhang and Brother Yang went to Yingzhou on official business, and I introduced the people to join in the fun? ”

Shangguan Wan'er was speechless.

Lu Xiaoxian couldn't refuse Zhang Shuo, but he could not go to Yingzhou, if he didn't go, what was the point of Yang Si and Zhang Shuo going?

Lu Xiaoxian obviously refused to walk with Zhang Shuo in disguise.

Shangguan Wan'er is known as the "prime minister of women", of course, this kind of thing is difficult for her. Her eyes fluttered

Turning, he suddenly took a salute, "Master Lu, I remember that I still owe you a favor, let's say, if there is anything you need my help with, I will definitely go all out!" ”

Listening to Shangguan Wan'er's words, the light like dew and electricity flashed from Lu Xiaoxian's eyes, as if surprised and like appreciation.

Regarding what Lu Xiaoxian asked, Shangguan Wan'er always asked for a poem first. And this time, Shangguan Wan'er didn't mention any conditions at all, and took the initiative to help Lu Xiaoxian.

Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but admire Shangguan Wan'er's ice and snow cleverness, although she didn't apologize to herself for doing this, she gave herself enough face. If Lu Xiaoxian didn't know how to go down the stairs, this matter would really be frozen here.

Since Shangguan Wan'er took the initiative to bring it up, of course Lu Xiaoxian would not let go of such an opportunity, he pointed to Qin Jun on the side, and said bluntly: "Shangguan Shanggong, if you can, can you take care of him in the palace?" ”

Qin Jun came to Shangqing Palace with Shangguan Wan'er, and he never said a word from beginning to end, and this stability is also rare.

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Qin Jun, nodded to Lu Xiaoxian and said, "No problem, you say, what kind of care method?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian just mentioned it so casually, and he really didn't think specifically about how Shangguan Wan would take care of Qin Jun. Hearing Shangguan Wan'er ask, he thought for a moment and said, "In this way, how about letting him go to the East Palace to serve the imperial heir?" ”

Qin Jun, who had been keeping his head down and not speaking, suddenly raised his head, he glanced at Lu Xiaoxian, and lowered his head again.

"Okay, I'll arrange this, and I'll send him to the East Palace tomorrow!" Shangguan Wan'er readily agreed.

If you respect me, I will naturally respect you.

Shangguan Wan'er is so atmospheric, Lu Xiaoxian can't be small-bellied anymore, it seems that this trip to Yingzhou, Lu Xiaoxian has to bring Zhang Shuo anyway.

Although he could no longer refuse Shangguan Wan'er, Lu Xiaoxian didn't want Zhang to say that this stunned young man was noisy in his ears along the way. He didn't bother to care if Zhang said that he was the future prime minister, and he had to listen to his greetings when he followed him. Therefore, Lu Xiaoxian felt that it was necessary to knock Zhang Shuo well and let him restrain himself.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoxian waved towards Shangguan Wan'er and said, "Shangguan Shanggong, I heard that Zhang Daren is very talented, take this opportunity, I want to ask Master Zhang for a lesson or two, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Shangguan Wan'er had a faint smile in her eyes, as if she was a child's mischief: "Of course you can, I'll judge you!" ”

Seeing Shangguan Wan'er's smiling appearance, Zhang Shuo couldn't help but feel a little depressed: As for being so happy?

Zhang said that he was originally a talent, and he didn't want to be embarrassed in front of Shangguan Wan'er at the moment, he looked at Lu Xiaoxian who was careless, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes: It's really arrogant, if I don't give you some color to see, I will write this word backwards.

The disdain on Zhang Shuo's face fell into Lu Xiaoxian's eyes, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes, like the wind rising, wrinkling the water.

In a moment, Lu Xiaoxian changed into his signature smile, shook his head and asked Zhang, "Since Master Zhang is a scholar, dare to ask Lord Zhang, why do you want to study?" ”

Back then, Zhang said that the topic of the scientific examination was the relationship between reading and governing the world, and was finally rated as the first place by Wu Zetian. At this moment, Lu Xiaoxian actually asked such a childish question

Question, isn't it a class with an axe?

Zhang said that he didn't have time to chew on the meaning of Lu Xiao's gossip, and said: "The court is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is in Tianzitang, only by reading good books can you get fame and become an official, and only then can you take the well-being of the world and the safety of the society on your shoulders!" ”

"Definitely! Definitely! Lu Xiaoxian said seriously, "Scholars have not been suitable for officials since ancient times!" ”

Seeing the stupid expression on Zhang Shuo's face, how could Lu Xiaoxian not know what he felt in his heart, and then said: "Scholars have the talent of scribes, so they can guide the country and pretend to establish a meritorious career, but the complexity and changeability of officialdom are incompatible with the naïve and frank character of literati. After being frustrated in the officialdom of the literati, they cannot clearly understand themselves, and they will only be extremely angry. A true official must have the world in mind and make correct decisions after weighing the pros and cons, while literati often make a big fuss and make a big mistake because of small things; The real officials are scheming and good at change, and they are like fish in water in the officialdom, while the literati are often masterless, at a loss, and miss good opportunities in the panic; The real officials are decisive, while the literati are indecisive. To put it bluntly, literati only have a strong desire to govern the world, but no practical ability to govern the world. Therefore, I say that literati are not suitable to be officials! Master Zhang, what do you think? ”

Zhang said that he was stunned by Lu Xiaoxian's point-to-point remarks, Lu Xiaoxian's words sounded ridiculous, but they were very flavorful when tasted! Although it was biased, it made him unable to refute it.

"Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures. Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis? Lu Xiaoxian groaned arrogantly, squinted at Zhang and said, "I wonder if Master Zhang can hear anything from this poem?" ”

This is a poem from the "ghost talent" Li He, Li He will not be born until more than 80 years later, so Lu Xiaoxian is not afraid of being exposed, and directly plagiarized it brazenly.

"Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis?" Shangguan Wan'er on the side was both shocked and admired, and couldn't help nodding: "The depressed feeling in the poem jumps on the paper, it's really vivid!" Good poetry, to be able to make such a poem, must be a person who has suffered a great setback! ”

Lu Xiaoxian hugged his arms in front of his chest and talked eloquently: "There are only three kinds of officials in the officialdom, Qing officials are too tired and unwilling to do it, mediocre officials are boring and waste their time and disdain to do it, and corrupt officials dare not do it if they are ignorant and hurt nature!" Therefore, if you can't even do a good job as an official, how can you talk about the well-being of the world and the safety of society? ”

At this moment, Zhang Shuo's gaze at Lu Xiaoxian was different from before, although what Lu Xiaoxian said was a little biased, but it was very incisive and made people feel something.

Shangguan Wan'er's curiosity about Lu Xiaoxian became heavier and heavier, and she couldn't help asking: "Although Gongzi Lu is a cloth cloth, those who have been officials all his life have not seen the officialdom as well as you!" Since Lu Gongzi doesn't want to be a literati or an official, what do you plan to do in the future? ”

"No farming, no stability, no work, no wealth, no business, no life, all walks of life can do it, and you don't necessarily have to go through the official career." Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoxian showed a cynical look, "As for what to do in the future, I haven't thought about it yet!" But now I just want to walk around and have fun! ”

During the Zhenguan period, Taizong ordered Wei Zheng and others to compile the "Qunshu Zhiyao", which clarified the reasonable order of "Shinong Industry and Commerce" in the Tang Dynasty. And Lu Xiaoxian did the opposite, he was not interested in his career, but he attached so much importance to agriculture and industry, which made Zhang Shuo feel very disapproving.
