Song Jing walked to the household yamen, and there were several household officials who were taking care of government affairs at this time, and when they saw Song Jing coming in, they said in unison: "Song Xiang is good." ”

Song Jing nodded, walked to the side of the case with his hands behind his back, flipped through a few files, sat on the chair again, and said to the people next to him: "This prime minister has just ascended to the position of Zaifu, and the relevant matters of these departments still need to be sincerely united, and if there are matters that cannot be decided, they must be reported to me as soon as possible." ”

Song Jing's meaning is very clear, that is, let these household officials fulfill their duties and handle government affairs decisively.

At the beginning, when Yao Chong was still in the position of Zaifu, these officials did not dare to abolish the public for personal reasons, and now Yao Chong has returned to his hometown, this fine atmosphere must be inherited, and the government affairs stipulated by Yao Chong cannot be buried.

All the officials gave up their hands to each other, and they didn't dare to slack off at all, they had long heard that Song Jing was an upright minister in the court, and even Princess Taiping had been angrily reprimanded, not to mention these petty officials.

Song Jing picked up a dossier at this time, flipped through it, and then he frowned, and said: "I suddenly remembered that His Majesty mentioned a person in his will to me, this person heard that he had served in Longxi, and then was introduced to the court by Xue Jungong, and he has repeatedly made meritorious contributions to the court, I want to know this person." ”

Song Jing said that the person was actually known to everyone, that is, Lu Zheng, Marquis of Dingyuan.

Immediately, an official took a step forward and said: "Back to Song Xiang, this person is Lu Zheng, Marquis of Dingyuan, and the title of Marquis of Dingyuan is the result of His Majesty's favor." ”

After Song Jing heard this, he leaned back in his chair and thought about Lu Zheng, since he had followed Wang Hui to serve in Longxi and won Xue Ne's favor, it must be very extraordinary, and His Majesty personally ordered this person, which also seemed to have the intention of assisting himself.

Therefore, this person Song Jing wanted to meet, and the household officials also figured out what he meant, and one of them said: "If Xiangye wants to see Lu Changshi, I can lead the way, that is, a side courtyard on the outskirts of the city, and Song Xiang will be able to arrive soon by carriage." ”

Song Jing hesitated for a while, then stood up and said, "Okay, you can go with me, and the others can continue to run errands." ”

Song Jing walked out of the government office with the official from the household department, then got into the carriage at the gate of the palace, and then drove towards the outskirts of the city.

At this time, Lu Zheng also received a will, which was to let him actively assist Song Jing and Su Ying, the two ministers, and the will also said that Song Jing was still upright, and Su Ying was famous for his literary style, and analyzed the temperament of the two ministers in detail.

Only then did Lu Zheng know that His Majesty already knew these Zaifu very well, and knowing people and things was only the most basic requirement for the emperor.

Lu Zheng took the edict at this time, sat in the courtyard and had nothing to do for the time being, and suddenly there was a hearty voice outside, Lu Zheng got up and looked, it turned out to be Xue Ne. He hurriedly opened the door to let Xue Ne in, and as soon as Xue Ne stepped into the door, he walked into the hall with the help of Lu Zheng.

Xue Ne just sat down and said: "Song Xiang has entered Beijing, I saw Song Jing's car on the street at noon, and it is obvious that His Majesty's car is His Majesty's imperial grace, and Song Jing was entertained into the palace with a golden bridle." ”

The specifications of this golden chariot are indeed not simple, and they are generally multiplied by the emperor, and Song Jing can have this treatment, which is also because His Majesty values his talent in governing the world.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, it seems that Song Jing is not inferior to Yao Chong, but he is just carrying on the past and forging ahead into the future.

Later, Lu Zheng poured tea for Xue Ne, and then listened to Xue Ne and said: "In addition to the golden gift, there are also 10,000 cavalry forbidden troops accompanying him, which shows that this is a royal guard of honor." However, when I look closely, Song Xiang seems to be very simple, only a child servant, and the luggage is also very simple. ”

Lu Zheng thought at this time, it seems that this Song Jing is not far from Yao Chong's living conditions, they are both frugal and virtuous, otherwise His Majesty would not treat each other so seriously.

Liu Dayuan heard Xue Ne's words in the back hall, so he also walked out, and Lu Zheng saw that Liu Dayuan still had a book in his hand, so he asked, "When did Brother Dayuan become interested?" ”

Liu Dayuan replied: "It's not that Lu Changshi has said in front of me several times that a martial artist must also understand the art of war, and I also feel that there is no harm in my chest, so I plan to familiarize myself with military books." ”

Lu Zheng didn't expect that his unintentional words made Li Dayuan listen to it, and Lu Zheng smiled again: "The art of war is just for reference, and it must be learned and used in actual combat." ”

That's the case, but Liu Dayuan also knows that he wants to go far away from Biansai Fenghuo, and the actual battle may just be talking.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the mansion gate, and there was a humanitarian person: "Old friend Song is visiting, and I also ask Xue to open the door." ”

Xue Ne felt very strange when he heard this, but after thinking about it, it was estimated that it was some minister in the court, so he asked Liu Dayuan to open the door, Song Jing just came in from the mansion gate, Xue Ne was naturally the first to recognize it, Xue Ne hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "I don't know if Song Xiang is visiting, I miss the welcome." ”

Lu Zheng and Liu Dayuan in the back also bowed their heads slightly to greet each other, Lu Zheng was very surprised, I didn't know what Song Jing meant, bowed here, and Xue Ne welcomed Song Jing in the hall, and after seeing him sit down, Xue Ne said: "I don't know what Song Xiang means here?" ”

Song Jing didn't beat around the bush, so he said: "The prime minister just came out of the palace, and I heard my emperor talk about Lu Zheng, the Marquis of Dingyuan, so I came here to visit Lu Changshi. ”

Lu Zheng was a little stunned, but he immediately remembered what the edict pointed to, and he didn't dare to prevaricate, so he said: "Your Majesty is ordered by Your Majesty to order me to help Song Xiang meet the needs of governing the world." So Song Xianglai came for this, I don't know if the words of the lower officials are reasonable? ”

Song Jing said slowly: "That's right, and you, as the head of the Imperial Protector's Mansion, should be a foreign position, and now His Majesty wants to give you the post of Imperial Historian, and now Su Xiang and I both agree, but I don't know what you mean?" ”

In the Tang Dynasty, he was regarded as the chief official of the Imperial History Tower, and this position was also important, as the Imperial History Zhongcheng had the responsibility of leading and supervising the Imperial History, and Lu Zheng did not expect that he would be promoted to this official position.

Lu Zheng hurriedly arched his hand and said: "If there is such a position, the lower official should indeed be ordered." ”

And Xue Ne is also excited, from the history of the governor of the capital to the imperial history of Zhongcheng, this is from a border official to the central system, how many people have worked hard to fall on Lu Zheng's head, to put it mildly, it is not a loss.

And if Lu Zheng is in the position of Zhongcheng in the imperial history, he will inevitably speak for the border generals, so that Wang Hui, the frontier official, will be in a much better situation, at least Lu Zheng will support Wang Hui in the court, and the two can support each other.

Song Jing smiled slightly, and said with great relief: "With what you said, Su Xiang and I are not wrong, the affairs of Yushitai are not easy to do, it is related to many people, Su Xiang and I hope that you can achieve reconciliation in the middle, do you understand this truth?" ”

Lu Zheng is also familiar with the hearts of the people in the open and secret battles in the officialdom, and Song Jing said that he also has a deep understanding.
