Inside the palace, steps lead all the way to the main hall.

Standing around were elite guards in golden armor, holding spears, all over their bodies emitting a golden glow, which made it impossible to look at them directly.

Lu Zhi's curved waist gradually straightened up, his gray-white beard gradually became pure black, Lu Zhi followed the hundred officials, walked through these steps step by step, and walked towards the main hall, this step is also paved with jade, the etiquette lang played the Yuefu song on the side, Lu Zhi was a little dazed, looked around, at the front, He Xiu was taking the hundred officials, entering the main hall, wearing a long sword at his waist, holding his head high, and the ministers followed behind him.

Hearing that the attack was still wearing his simple clothes, Liu Ju on the side looked at He Xiu in front of him with some disdain, and shook his head helplessly.

Later, Wang Fu was talking to Yuan Feng about something, which made the surrounding ministers a little unhappy, on the right side, Cui Wei closed his eyes in distress, and Liu Mo was happily talking to him about something, as if he was talking about something, Lu Zhi was looking at it, someone suddenly pulled him on the side, Lu Zhi turned his head, but it was Duan Cheng, Duan Cheng looked majestic, and asked with a smile: "Coming??" ”

"Hmm."

"Boy, are you still mad at me?"

"Never."

Behind him, Yang Qiu suddenly poked his head out and said, "Hey, thank you for the clothes!" ”

"Your Majesty has an edict, and the ministers will meet !!" At the door, Song Dian shouted.

Lu Zhi followed the ministers into the main hall and raised his head.

The Son of Heaven was sitting on the top seat, and when he saw Lu Zhi's gaze, he laughed and winked at him.

...........

"Situ Gong!!" The ministers howled and cried, Lu Zhi lay in the arms of Zhao Wen and Sun Jian, a smile gradually appeared on his face, his snort gradually stopped, and his body softened, and at this time, the imperial doctor ordered him to run in a hurry, pushed away the crowd, squeezed to the innermost, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to probe Situ Gong's snort, and everyone did not dare to disturb, even the minister who was crying held his breath at that moment.

Imperial Physician Ling sighed, shook his head, and said, "Situ Gong has already left. ”

"Situ Gong! What about Situ Gong?!! ”

I saw the Son of Heaven rushing out of the main hall, followed by a group of yellow doors, the Son of Heaven ran very fast, and soon rushed here, the ministers got out of the way, leaving only Zhao Wen and Sun Jian in the middle, still holding Lu Zhi, the Son of Heaven's eyes were a little red, looking at Lu Zhi who was sleeping quietly, he cautiously stretched out his hand and bowed to Lu Zhi, and the surrounding ministers followed and bowed to the Han Situ Lu Gong.

The court discussion also failed to continue, the ministers returned separately, and Lu Yu is still outside, not in Luoyang, so it can only be Zhao Wen to send Lu Zhi back to the house, responsible for the funeral and the like, of course, he also hurriedly wrote a letter to Lu Yu, asking him to return to Luoyang immediately, the messenger who was originally going to meet can only wait a few more days, Lu Zhi's sudden death, also caused a lot of shock in Luoyang.

Lu Zhi as an old minister of Jianning, whether it is a disciple, or a friend, or an admirer, there are a lot, and he studied under Ma Rong, and he is also one of the rare Confucians in the world, such a person died, which naturally made the whole Luoyang fall into sadness, and the students spontaneously guarded the spirit of Lu Gong, kneeling around his mansion, for two days, without eating or drinking, many generals of the Northern Army also came here and shed tears for Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi served as a lieutenant of the Northern Military Academy, and most of these generals were his former cronies.

In addition, there are many scholars, officials, are here to worship Lu Zhi, of course, when Zhao Wen mentioned the Loyal Martyr's Hall, no one objected, Lu Zhi is fully qualified to enter the Loyal Martyr's Hall, when he served as the captain of the Northern Military Academy, he made great achievements, when he served as the local assassin history, he was very prosperous in Hezhou, making Hezhou leap forward, and later entered the temple, Xiping Renzheng, Xiping New Deal and so on were completed during his tenure.

He is naturally regarded as a loyal martyr of the Han Dynasty.

Lu Yu and Liu Bei, who were busy outside, returned to Luoyang, to be precise, all the officials of the East Palace taken away by Liu Bei returned to Luoyang, their affairs have been done, everyone rushed directly to Situ's mansion non-stop, Lu Yu was crying from the beginning, and when he returned to Luoyang, he had lost his voice, his eyes were swollen and painful, and he couldn't see the road clearly, Liu Bei supported him, and tears kept falling.

Everyone came to the mansion, but saw Zhuge Liang in the crowd.

Zhuge Liang should be happy when he saw these colleagues, but ah, such a meeting really made them unhappy, Zhuge Liang could only say a greeting to Lu Yu, and the rest was more, he couldn't speak, Lu Yu was speechless, with the support of Liu Bei, he walked into the mansion, Liu Mastiff was in the mansion, knelt down, saw off Situ Gong, saw them in, Liu Mastiff got up, came to their side.

"Mourning...."

He didn't know what to say, frowning, Lu Yu saw his father sleeping on the ground, at that moment, he was paralyzed, sat on the ground, howling and crying, just because of the loss of voice, he couldn't make a sound, Liu Bei pulled him up and brought him to Lu Zhi's side, Lu Yu buried his head in Lu Zhi's chest, crying in pain, Liu Bei bowed to Lu Zhi, goodbye.

He will never forget Shijun's kindness to him, if it weren't for Lu Zhi, I'm afraid that he would still be a ranger leader in the countryside, wandering all day long, muddy, it was Lu Zhi who changed his life and gave him everything he has today.

Liu Bei raised his head, but saw that there was still a person standing on the right side, this person's face was burned, and he looked a little decadent and weak, this person was Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Zhan also saw Liu Bei, turned around and was about to leave, Liu Bei hurriedly caught up with him, and shouted in a low voice: "Brother!! Gongsun Chan stopped, Liu Bei walked to his side, Gongsun Chan was a little unnatural, not wanting others to see his hideous face.

"Brother, long time no see... If you're here, why don't you come and meet me? ”

"I still have important business, I'm here to bid farewell to Shijun today, I'll look for you another day..."Gongsun Chan said, and left in a hurry, watching him leave, Liu Bei sighed helplessly, the matter of the Xiaoyong camp has hit Gongsun Chan hugely, so long, Gongsun Chan still hasn't been able to come out of his grief, Liu Bei shook his head helplessly, this heroic general, I don't know when I will be able to defeat myself and lead the troops again.

Liu Bei accompanied Lu Yu here for two days before going back to rest.

The crown prince also gave Lu Yu two years to keep a watch for Situ Gong.

In the Hall of Houde, the Son of Heaven and Zhao Wen sat facing each other, both of them were silent, and the Son of Heaven said: "Situ Gong is gone, and you have to worry about this envoy's matter... Situ Gong has ever told you about the envoys?? ”

"Your Majesty, before leaving, Duke Lu once said to the minister, he said, you can't send a minister to directly govern these areas, these small countries, there are many tribes, the king can't govern the whole country, if you send a minister of state, it is to find a way to integrate them, and you have to spend a lot of energy on them, instead of this, it is better to let the merchants act freely, dig their iron minerals, and without sending the minister, we can still collect their import duties...."

"He also said that if the other party also wants to collect taxes from the Han merchants, let Xu Rong lead his troops to capture and kill their king..."

Hearing Zhao Wen's words, the Son of Heaven's eyes widened, is this really what Lu Zhi said?

Lu Zhi has always been a moderate, he doesn't like Dong Zhuo, Zhang Wen, and even Duan Cheng, how could he propose such a policy, when he looked at Zhao Wen, Zhao Wen was also a little dazed, he said: "The minister didn't lie at all, this is really what Lu Gong said...", the Son of Heaven nodded, Zhao Wen's temperament was softer, he would never say such a thing, Zhao Wen said again: "In addition, Situ Gong also said that Cao Cao, who is too guarded by the Western Court, can be Situ." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, but he quickly put it away.

"The affairs of the envoys, you should do as Lu Gong instructed, remember, you must get them to agree, Xu Rong has a place to garrison troops in their country, in addition, let them not set up taxes on the Han merchants, and also, if they come, they must pay taxes....." The Son of Heaven said this, and Zhao Wen could only do it.

After sending Zhao Wen away, the Son of Heaven began to think about whether to summon Cao Cao back? He thought seriously, today's Xizhou is well governed by Jia Xu, showing a prosperous and upward attitude, Cao Cao also plays an important role in the Western Court, if he calls him back to the temple, then who can take his place, the Son of Heaven thought for a long time, and a name suddenly appeared in his mind.

Guangling Taishou, Chen Deng.

As for why the Son of Heaven thought of this person, or because of Zhang He's previous investigation, the Son of Heaven had asked Zhang He to go to various places in order to build water conservancy, to find people who had made achievements in water conservancy projects, and then Zhang He recommended this person and listed his political achievements, Zhang He played a total of five people, and among these five people, only his official position was the lowest, this no one, respectively, Yangzhou Thorn Shi Fuzhu, Yizhou Thorn Shi Tian Feng, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Guoyuan, Liangzhou Thorn Shi Mao Jue, and this Guangling Taishou Chen Deng.

Chen Dengnai is a native of Xuzhou, rarely famous, after entering Taixue, and passed the assessment, for the local officials, has served as the county commander of three places, two counties too shou, when he served as the commander of Dongyang County, he had funded the elderly, raised orphans, regarded the people as children, very respected, and later moved, in Wuyang, Wei County for the county order, at this time, he is also to enrich the granary, build water conservancy, so that the people of the two places are rich, the road is not forgotten, the night is not closed.

Later, he served as the empress dowager of Wu County, he built six channels in Wu County, vigorously carried forward the fishery, made Wu County in Yangzhou counties became the richest place, and later served as Guangling Taishou, during the period, he also attached importance to water conservancy, attached importance to agriculture and mulberry, and educated the people, so that he was respected and loved by the people of the entire Lianghuai region, after he left Yangzhou, and even Yangzhou Thorn Shi was frustrated many times to play the Son of Heaven, hoping to let Chen Deng return to Yangzhou, and he could let out the position of Thorn History.

The Son of Heaven originally wanted to use these people to start the water conservancy plan of the Han Dynasty in the next twenty years, but now, Situ Gong died early, and there are only a few people who can take his place, and the Son of Heaven does not like it very much, Xing Ziang was originally the most suitable, but he is now building a gallop road and cannot work in the temple for a long time, so the Son of Heaven still decided to let Cao Cao come over and serve as Situ.

As for Cao Cao's position, let Chen Deng go up first for the time being, this person has some talents, he is in the Western Court, and he should be able to continue Cao Cao's career.

It seems that the person who gave the entire Han Dynasty a headache is coming back again.
