Lu Li knelt on the ground and couldn't help but sigh in his heart; is still a powerful son, and it has only been less than a year for his mother to earn an eight-grade Mrs. Destiny to come back, and now he is not as high as his wife's rank, and the yin and yang in the family are reversed!

Xiao Huangmen, who came to read the holy decree, reminded: "The two of you can get up, congratulations Xue Yiren, Lu Xiannan gave you such a big surprise when he was a teenager, and when he became a high-ranking official, you will definitely become Mrs. Yipinguo." ”

Xue Ning didn't understand what the holy decree meant, but she knew that it was a good thing, and Lu Li said: "Cheng Daren's auspicious words, the insiders don't know the rules, and the adults came from afar to come into the house to drink saliva and moisten their throats." ”

The chamberlain did not refuse, and after sitting down, he said: "Lord Lu is also a good fortune, giving birth to a dragon and phoenix among people like Lu County, the emperor is really full of praise for him, several times I heard the emperor say to himself, giving birth to a son should be like Lu Zifei." ”

Lu Li was fortunate to have a little more flesh on his face, blocking his proud expression, otherwise his mouth would have cracked to his chin, and he still said modestly: "My lord thinks of him too much, but he is a little smart, and his brain turns a little faster than others." ”

The two of them politely said some unnutritious words, and the waiter felt that the two of them couldn't talk together, so he got up and said goodbye, and said: "Lord Lu stays, I have to go back to the capital to give the emperor an errand, Lord Lu has time to come to the capital, let's sit down and drink tea together." ”

Lu Li could detect something, he took out a silver ticket and stuffed it into the hand of the waiter and said: "The weather is so hot, adults take it to buy some tea to drink on the way back, if you don't accept it, you will look down on me." ”

The waiter smiled and put it away, this is a wordless rule, and everyone acquiesces together. Thinking that Lord Lu in this remote place was quite good, he left the Lu family, and the waiter took out the silver ticket and looked at it, obediently, a whole thousand taels, and he still thought that he would die if he had a maximum of one hundred taels, and the rich man of the land had run so far in vain.

"Master, what is written in this holy decree! Listen to what you just said to that one, it has something to do with me? ”

Lu Li explained with a smile: "Madam, you will also be an official in the future, and you are one level higher than your father-in-law, and your eldest son gave it to you." ”

Xue Ning covered her mouth and said, "You mean that I will be the same as Mrs. County Commander in the future, and I don't have to salute when I see the County Order." ”

Lu Li smiled dumbly and said: "This is different, you are a false title, you don't do anything and receive a good fortune, the county magistrate's wife sees that you want to salute, you are as big as the county magistrate's grade, you don't need to salute him." ”

Xue Ning cried with joy and said to her husband: "Go and prepare sacrifices, go to the grave to worship and worship the ancestors, our Qingming paper money is not burned in vain, you go and burn a little more for the ancestors, this is the blessing of the ancestors." ”

"This is what your son earned for you, and it has nothing to do with the ancestors, so you can offer the holy decree!" The harvest is directly proportional to the pay, although the lady's fate is good, but I don't know how much hardship the son has paid to get it.

Seeing that Mrs. happily went to make offerings, Lu Li told him in the back, "Don't patronize and forget about the weak." ”

In the palace, Zhao Zhen was playing chess with his brother-in-law Cao Ran, and General Zhao Zhen asked later: "Do you think who in the court can still take on the important task of revitalizing the Great Song Dynasty, and I have not decided on the remaining two governors, you can help me with my staff." ”

Cao Ran has never participated in political affairs since the end of the Song and Xia Wars, handed over the military power and idle endowment at home, Zhao Zhen asked like this, which scared him to his knees, raised his head and said: "The minister has not been in the court for a long time, how dare he help the emperor to make ideas, I think the emperor must be confident about the candidate, Zhizhu is in his hand, and the emperor is not clear about the minister's IQ?" ”

"You! Why don't you have a little sharpness even Cao Feng s kid the queen told me that he was going to make a fuss about breaking up with you has not stopped recently got up and sat down to talk. ”

Returning to his position, half of his butt fell on the chair and said with a wry smile: "Every time I write a letter, I haven't written to my mother, I am protecting his mother, he doesn't want to think about it, he is not a son-in-law, his mother is just a concubine, can they be safe today without my protection?" I agreed to his request to split up, there is nothing wrong with the Cao family dying on the battlefield and the horse leather shroud, since he wants to, let him do it! is a separation, and people outside will still treat him as a member of the Cao family. ”

Zhao Zhen said: "He is disappointed in your Cao family, and someone is giving him a trick in the back?" I am optimistic about these three children. ”

Cao Ran said: "They are still young, they haven't thought about the consequences, they do things with enthusiasm, you said that the people of the Cao family found a wild man outside and a child, I don't know how to explain it when I see my ancestors." ”

"It doesn't matter, this nobleman has only been in office for a few years, and he is disgusted, no one says anything about being a concubine, Fukang is too young, otherwise I really want to marry one of the three of them."

Cao Ran spread his hands and said, "The emperor thinks I can be his master now?" The marriage is all about his mother for Zhang Luo, it seems that she doesn't want me to interfere, and when he comes back, the emperor will ask him personally! ”

Shangguan Wen muttered a few words in Zhao Zhen's ear, Cao Ran took the opportunity to retire, Zhao Zhen said to Shangguan Wen: "That token was given to that kid by me, how could it appear on the territory of Ezhou, he must understand the importance of that token." ”

"Wei Chi's secret recital some time ago said that Lu Zifei's caravan took away a large number of colored glass, and wanted to open the market overseas, and there were a lot of porcelain or something, it is estimated that he was afraid that someone on the road would embarrass the caravan, so he gave him the token to rest assured."

Zhao Zhen said: "The prefect of Ezhou is Yizhu!" How could he not get along with that kid's people. ”

Shangguan Wen said: "The person who can't get along with the caravan is Jiang Boyu, who is the general judge of Ezhou, he is the uncle of King Pu, most likely it was King Pu who sent him a message, and Jiang Boyu didn't dare to have other thoughts about that token." ”

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "You go and call Bao Zheng to me, isn't King Pu idle?" He didn't give him anything to do, he was really incompetent, I went back to Huining Palace, and when others arrived, he asked him to wait for me in the Vertical Arch Palace. ”

It was the first time for Lu Zifei to sit on this kind of small boat that was a big ship for the people of the Song Dynasty, he was always a little nauseous in his stomach in the first few days, and today he got used to it before he came out to soak up the sun, Song Qi's face was still a little yellow, and he said: "Hanzhang will rest for a few more days if he is fine, I will be fine when I watch on the boat." ”

Lu Zifei said weakly: "Lord Song, I blame you for this, I said to take the land route, you said that the boat ride is fast, and it is comfortable, I feel it quickly, and I also feel it when I am comfortable, if I can't get to Suzhou, my life will be gone, I will see how you give the emperor an errand." ”

Song Qi smiled, he pointed to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and said: "You can't stand this kind of inland river and still want to be a pirate, in the years when I was the prefect in Yangzhou, I fought countless naval battles with Goryeo, Japan, and Mayi's pirate ships and smuggling ships, this is not even a small scene, boy, you have to learn more?" ”

Lu Zifei held on to the railing on the deck and howled, "Then Lord Song, have you ever seen a forty-meter-long ship?" ”

Song Qi said: "The biggest ship in the Great Song Dynasty is the Lou ship, there are a few in Suzhou, there are also in Dengzhou, and the remaining ones are in Quanzhou, our destination this time, and their length is only about ten meters!" I've never seen it forty meters long. ”

Lu Zifei smiled mysteriously and said: "Then Lord Song has a good eye, the boat entered the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, I think it will be shallow." ”

Song Qi is the kind of person you don't say and I don't ask, and it's very pleasant to work with this kind of person, he said to Lu Zifei: "Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Tang Dynasty spent the whole country to dig this waterway from Hangzhou to Zhuozhou, but I didn't expect that we, the latecomers, took advantage. ”

Lu Zifei looked at this artery connecting the north and south of China for the first time and said: "I think Yang Guang's life is brilliant, if he really wants to suppress the family at that time, maybe his achievements are not weaker than Tang Taizong." ”

Song Qi looked at him in surprise and said, "You want to overthrow the history books and correct the name of Emperor Sui Tang, and talk casually when you have nothing to do?" ”

"Yes! Does Lord Song want to talk about Yang Guang? ”

Song Qi said: "Yes, tell me whether his life is more meritorious than his demerits or too much merit." ”

Lu Zifei asked, "What does the adult think in his heart?" ”

"I think that Emperor Tang of Sui had more than merit in his life, and the heavy taxes and conscription made the people miserable, and he reused the gluttonous ministers, and went to the south of the Yangtze River several times, and was extremely poor and extravagant, which caused the treasury to be empty, and for his own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, he conquered Goryeo many times and abused the people's power

The people had no choice but to rise up, the eighteenth road anti-king made the land of China fall into the flames of war again, the nickname of Emperor Tang is higher than the exploits he made during his lifetime, you said that he can become the emperor of the ages, I didn't find out. ”

Lu Zifei said: "Lord Song did not look at Yang Guang from a fair standpoint, there are many personal subjective factors in your wording, Yang Guang left more than these things to posterity, he revised the harsh laws of the Sui Dynasty in the hands of his father, conquered the Khitan, and exterminated Gu Hun,

The Grand Canal was built, so that the north and the south accelerated the integration, the greatest credit in his life is to create the imperial examination system, which is the transformation of the aristocratic politics to the imperial examination bureaucracy, this is a historic contribution, how many poor children because of his ability to shine the lintel, Song is also one of them, although Yang Guang has no virtue, but meritorious. ”

Song Qi said: "That can't hide the essence of a tyrant, history has characterized him as the king of Shang, I think it's very correct, many of the things you said can't be verified now, so you can't add to his credit." ”

Lu Zifei said leisurely: "Although the society at that time was a little stable, but it still continued the tradition left over from the Jin Dynasty, Yang Guang in order to realize his political ideals, did not accept the conditions of the official, only dragged the people and the country into the disaster, as a leader of the country, how could he tolerate others pointing fingers at him, he himself came from a family, and he was clear about the family's behavior, he didn't want to be a puppet and let others manipulate him, but he underestimated his opponent." ”

"In the talk and laughter of the emperor's hegemony, it is better than a drunk in life"
