@: Chapter 322

Lu Qian and Ximenye's main focus in the recent period has been on the vacancy of the Liuhe County Order. Lu Qian used his family's resources to carry out activities in the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, Ximenye helped him to offer advice, judging from the current situation, everything is going well, if nothing else, Lu Qian should not have much obstacle to make up for this shortage.

Lu Qian is glad that he has been stumbling for so many years, and now he finally has the opportunity to show his ambitions, and he is very ambitious! Unexpectedly, at this juncture, Lu Zheng suddenly brought such news.

King Qin personally went down to the south of the Yangtze River?

Because of the reason why the first emperor purged Jiangnan and suppressed the Jiangnan authorities, the Jiangnan authorities have been very sensitive to every move of the imperial family for so many years.

King Qin had just been named the Prince of Wuzhu, and it was definitely not a good thing to suddenly go to Jiangnan, and Lu Qian's heart suddenly became nervous. He wanted to ask for more details, but for the sake of face, he couldn't speak.

As for Lu Zheng, he was reluctant to talk to Lu Qian about a lot of things, because Lu Qian couldn't do anything, even if he was in the Lu family, he was called the second master, but he couldn't be the master.

The atmosphere between father and son became awkward again, Lu Qian was worried about the variables of Liuhe's vacancy, and his mood was a little low, and in addition, he and Lu Zheng really had nothing to say, so he waved his hand and said:

"Go ahead, the old man is sick today, don't talk too much!" He paused, and then said: "Go back to the house and stay for a few more days, and everything must be calm first, and then you can slowly figure it out!" ”

Lu Zheng came out of Lu Qian's study, and then went to Lu Shanchang's residence.

Maybe it's because of his age, Lu Shanchang now lives alone, and he occupies an independent courtyard alone, although his status is supreme in the Lu family, but his residence always gives people a sense of desertion.

In the past few days, he has not been to the yamen for several days because of the occasional cold, and the rules of the morning and dusk province have been waived, if it were not for Lu Zheng's special identity, the minions would not dare to disturb the old lady's rest.

Lu Shanchang's mental state was really not good, his face was pale, he looked much thinner than before, the silver thread on his head was dull, he was lying on his back on the chair, and when he saw Lu Zheng enter the door, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Lu Zheng stepped forward and saluted in an orderly manner, and said, "Lu Zheng has seen my grandfather!" ”

"Hmmm! Great work! Lu Shanchang nodded: "My body is sick, and I think that my days are numbered, and people are pessimistic." Hey, before I knew it, my life was ruined, and the Lu family continued to decline in my hands, and to this day, the Jiangnan power is just a name.

I'm sorry for the ancestors and ancestors, I have no shame to see the ancestors and ancestors underground! ”

Lu Zheng stood up and said, "Grandfather feels shameless, so he won't go for the time being, live for another twenty years, and strive to turn things around." No one can say anything about the rise and fall, there is a way to be thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, whether the Lu family is extremely Tailai Xing is just around the corner! ”

Lu Shanchang was stunned for a moment, his smile instantly became bright, and finally he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and his whole spirit seemed to change for the better.

"Grandfather is old, and it will depend on your younger generation in the future, by the way, there shouldn't be any big problems in the township test this time, right?" Lu Shan said.

Lu Zheng said: "It's hard to say, I'm doing my best, but there are variables all the time, for example, I just received news that His Royal Highness King Qin will be in Jiangnan soon, I think in my heart, I don't know if this highness will come next time is a blessing or a curse?" ”

Lu Shanchang raised his eyebrows, his lips twitched, but he wanted to speak again, and after a long while, he said, "I heard that Lord Nie Yong's entry into Beijing has become a foregone conclusion?" ”

Lu Zheng said: "Yes, Lord Nie has been in Jiangnan for five years, and when he gets the opportunity to enter Beijing, he can no longer contain it, and there is nothing I can do about it!" ”

"Everyone has his own ambitions, don't force them! From my Dakang's point of view, Jiangnan is too small after all. Everyone says that Jiangnan produces talents, but in fact, it is more Jiangnan people who put gold on their faces.

Jiangnan is too rich, talented people come out of the poor door, Zheng'er, your qualifications are already regarded as a first-class existence in Jiangnan, but a mountain is higher than a mountain, and there are more strong players in the strong, after entering Beijing in the future, how should you go, you should carefully consider yourself......" Lu Shanchang said earnestly.

It would be difficult for ordinary people to understand these words, but Lu Zheng has been a human being in two lives and has rich life experience, so he can naturally understand a lot.

Lu Zheng has always known that the "talent" he has done is nothing at all, and taking the talented route cannot last. The Dakang Dynasty has a population of trillions of people, and I don't know how many talented people there are, Lu Zheng never dared to put himself in the forefront.

Lu Zheng is famous and studying, all for fame, for the imperial examination, in order to win a platform for himself, that's all. He was very aware of this.

In fact, since Lu Zheng mastered many resources in Jiangnan, he was not even so eager to pursue Xie Yuan. Because throughout the ages, there are not many masters in the imperial examination, but to achieve great things, people who have made achievements do not necessarily have to be supermen in the imperial examinations.

Just like in modern society, people with high education must be social elites, but the top elites are not all from the top of the college entrance examination.

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Zheng suddenly felt relaxed in his heart, the King of Qin came to Jiangnan, Lu Zheng suddenly felt that the relationship with himself was actually very small, Jinling has six yamen, the five military governors' mansions, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Guozijian, and the governors, the governors, and the number of senior officials above the second grade alone is more than ten fingers.

What is Lu Zheng in Jiangnan? It's just an insignificant small role, even if he has a lot of strength in his hands, but these strengths exist secretly and are not known to outsiders at all.

King Qin is coming, on behalf of the royal family, on behalf of the Son of Heaven, these executives and nobles, the powerful and wealthy should be much more nervous by Lu Zheng, is Lu Zheng guilty of a headache for this matter?

Lu Zheng's thoughts suddenly brightened, and he said: "Grandfather, King Qin may want to lift the lid of the Jiangnan scientific expedition, and I want to release this news."

After all, we were born and grew up in Jiangnan, and at a critical time, we still have to think about Jiangnan. ”

Lu Shanchang squinted at Lu Zheng, nodded and said: "You can do these things, by the way, remember to stay at home for a few more days, just after the township test, there will definitely be many talented people who will come to visit." If you are not in Jiangning, the lintel of the Lu family will not look good.

Your house in Jiangning was personally arranged by me, and you are cheap to do things on weekdays, Hong Quan is gone, and the lack of a housekeeper in the family has been empty, so you can consider it and choose a housekeeper, right? ”

"Grandfather, this ......" Lu Zheng was very surprised, the choice of the Lu family's housekeeper was decided by him, what would Lu Qian, a cheap father, think?

In addition to Lu Qian, there are also the third uncle Lu Chen and the fourth uncle Lu Cheng, can they be convinced? Is the old man thinking about catching ducks on the shelves and letting himself dominate the affairs of the Lu family?

Lu Zheng shook his head secretly, suddenly had a comprehension in his heart, and said: "Grandfather, don't worry, I will report this matter to my father, and his old man will definitely give some advice!" ”

……

The news of King Qin's descent to the south of the Yangtze River gradually spread in all walks of life in Jinling, and Jinling immediately caused a sensation.

There is a grapevine legend that the Southern Imperial Court Imperial Court Imperial Court

At present, the scientific expedition has just ended, the file has been sealed in the name, and it is too late to review it, when such news comes out, the entire Jiangnan is instantly nervous.

Especially for the students who participated in the scientific examination this time, the opportunity was not easy to come by, and if all the results of the scientific examination were invalidated because of the so-called scientific examination fraud case, it would be a great loss for all the candidates.

The so-called one stone stirred up a thousand waves, Jiangnan was restless overnight, and after the Yellow Boat of King Qin entered Jiangnan, he landed at the dock of the Liuhe River Valley.

On this day, hundreds of civil and military officials in the south of the Yangtze River gathered in Liuhe to meet His Royal Highness King Qin at the river valley wharf. Lu Shanchang was also in the crowd, in addition to Lu Shanchang, Ruan Jingnian, Gu Tianyang and so on were all there.

Guo Song, the chief examiner of the township examination, and Pang Di, the deputy chief examiner of the Hanlin Academy, stood together, and Zhan Tianqi, the governor of Zhili and the governor of the Nanfu Army, stood in the foremost position.

Jiangnan is different from other provinces, this is the seat of the Southern Imperial Court, there are many officials, the pomp is amazing, after the Yellow Boat of the King of Qin docked, he disembarked in a formal crown, and the hundred officials who had been waiting for a long time under the boat knelt down together, and said:

"Weichen see King Qin's Chitose!"

King Qin was burly, overlooking everyone, and gently raised his hand and said: "Get up, I have already passed the word, asking you not to make a show, but you just don't listen!" Hey, take a look at the current scene, if this spreads to the capital, I don't know how many gossips it will provoke! ”

Baiguan slowly stood up, all bowed their heads in unison and did not speak, the atmosphere was delicate at this time, and no one wanted to be the first to jump out.

There are many forces from all sides in the south of the Yangtze River, but the King of Qin has no power on this side, so although there are many people present, there are almost no people who are close to the King of Qin.

Surrounded by everyone, King Qin got off the yellow boat, and a group of officials came over to huddle him in the middle. To be able to stand by the side of King Qin at such a time, there are officials who need to be of the second grade or above, and Gu Tianyang is among them.

Guo Song, the priest of the country, came over and bowed down and said: "Your Highness, Weichen heard that someone gave the court a fold, saying that the so-called Jiangnan scientific examination fraud has become a common practice, and Weichen is Guo Song, the chief examiner of the Jiangnan Township Examination. ”

Guo Song paused and said: "Now that the rural test has just ended, the candidates' test papers have been put into storage after being lost, and the lower officials have not dared to open them. ”

Guo Song suddenly said this, causing an uproar, everyone knows Guo Song's temperament, he can't rub sand in his eyes, he didn't expect his temperament to be so straight, King Qin just got off the boat, the wind and dust have not been washed, Guo Song actually put things on the table, is this to make the prince unable to get off the stage?

King Qin smiled slightly, his figure was burly, his demeanor was noble, and in the face of Guo Song's sudden move, he was not in a hurry, and said lightly:

"Master Guo is hard, there are indeed people who have broken the matter of the scientific expedition in Jiangnan, what's wrong? A fold turns around in my hand, and it is difficult for me to have a place to stand when I get to the south of the Yangtze River?

Could it be that Jiangnan is really an independent kingdom outside of Dakang, the needle can't be inserted, the water can't be splashed, my dignified Prince Wuzhu came by the emperor's order, are you deliberately trying to make me unable to step down? ”
