Chapter XIV Order

(Ask for collection and recommendation)

Ma Wei is well-connected and well-informed, and he was right that there is indeed a group of women secretly selecting the students' articles, and the leader is a mystery, and the intention is even more varied, but it is not for the selection of husbands - many students who are quite old and have long been married are also among the students.

Gossip is naturally indispensable, one is more fragrant than the other, there are more people who are excited about it, and there are fewer people who take it seriously, Zhou Lu is one of the few.

Therefore, when a fragrant invitation came, Zhou Lu jumped a few feet high, didn't even think about it, and immediately sent back the name sticker, saying that he would definitely go to the appointment on time.

The invitation is actually a little weird, the beginning is called "foot", but there is no payment at the end, the content is very simple, a few lines: the foot is talented, we admire, invite you to talk, is it okay? The book is not exhaustive, entrusted to the servant.

Zhou Lu had already heard the rumors, but he didn't expect that the one who was invited would be himself, so he grabbed the servant who delivered the letter with both hands and asked a series of questions one after another.

The servant in a green coat and a small hat, quite bookish, with a very strict tone, only said that some people admired the article written by Zhou Gongzi a few days ago, and hoped to meet and discuss in detail, and smiled and asked Zhou Gongzi to get ready, and he would come to greet him at noon the next day.

The servant did not call "how is the master", but said "someone appreciates", Zhou Lu should actually be vigilant at this time, but he had already fainted, studied the letter paper and the handwriting on it repeatedly, and concluded that this must be the thing of the boudoir, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart, and immediately came to Lou Ji for help, and after being refused, he asked others for guidance, and even bought a few poems, planning to chant them casually when the time came, so as to please the Bojia people.

"You're married, aren't you?" Lou Ji couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Lu pointed to the scar on the left side of his face, "The right side was beaten by them, and the left side was left by my tigress." ”

"Go on." Lou Ji is glad that he didn't help before.

The other party's servant came as promised, Zhou Lu dressed up carefully, put powder on his face, and brought seven or eight sachets with him, thinking that there would be a romantic affair, but he didn't expect to be beaten well.

Zhou Lu took one of his servants out on horseback, and followed the servant to a temple outside the southern city, he was right when he thought about it, the other party must be a noblewoman, so naturally he couldn't see him at home.

The temple was large and desolate, Zhou Lu entered through the side door, and did not see the monk, a young man came out and asked, "You wrote the article 'Use the people to time'?" ”

"Exactly down there." Zhou Lu didn't smell the danger yet, he just looked at the other party carefully, and didn't feel like a woman dressed as a man, so he looked around and asked, "Where is your master?" ”

The other party didn't answer, and continued to ask: "Your Excellency's article has a total of five strategies, the first policy is 'use the people to time', followed by 'elect ministers to be virtuous', 'choose to meritorious', 'punish to equal', and 'sacrifice to time'?" ”

"Yes, yes, I wrote all the five strategies, I not only write current policies, but also occasionally write poems......"

"Well, I'll talk about poetry later, I only want to ask you one thing: why do you list 'using the people with time' as the first policy?"

"Huh?" Zhou Lu found someone to prepare a lot of answers, but he didn't expect this question, "That...... What about your master? I don't talk to you. ”

"I am the master."

Zhou Lu was disappointed, "Why are you a big man using such fragrant letterhead?" ”

"You're still putting on powder."

"Alas, it's boring, it's boring, there's nothing to talk about with you and me." Zhou Lu turned around to leave.

The man coughed, and the servant who led the way stopped at the door, and said with a smile: "Since you are here, why do you have to leave in a hurry?" ”

"Phew, I didn't say anything when I asked you yesterday, I knew that your master was a man, I said that I wouldn't come, get out of the way, I want to go home."

The servants who led the way clapped their hands, and several healthy servants walked out of the next room, lined up, and blocked the door.

Zhou Lu's face turned white, and he brought a little servant, who was already trembling with fright, and he couldn't protect the master.

"Hehe, everyone is a literati, why did you come here?" Zhou Lu turned around and bowed his hand to his master, "I haven't asked Your Excellency yet." ”

"My surname is Zhang, and my bow is Changzhang."

"Oh, there are quite a few people with the surname Zhang."

"I have a family in the world."

Zhou Lu was shocked in his heart, only this Zhang family is the royal family, but looking at the other party's dress, he didn't look like it, looked at it for a long time, and said with a smile: "You don't even want to say what your name is...... Less of this, kidnapping, right? Okay, the master is rich, you make a price, I'll ......"

Zhang Gongzi shook his head, "I originally suspected that the article was not written by you, but now it seems that it is really not." ”

"Why didn't I write it?" Zhou Lu blushed and defended.

"Sacrifice, selection of ministers, selection of generals, use of the people, punishment, the five strategies should be arranged in order, the use of the people and punishment may be in no particular order, but not before the first three. These five strategies weren't written by one person, right? You synthesize an article randomly, and you don't even distinguish between priority and priority. Also, 'using the people with time' is the best of the best, and the other four strategies are completely redundant......"

Zhang Gongzi's later statement was the same as that of Lou Ji, Zhou Lu had already prepared for this, and hurriedly said: "Yes, just because this strategy is the best, I want to rank first, and the other four strategies...... It's an addition, and the original intention is to hope that the East Palace will choose the good one......"

Zhang Gongzi was furious, "You still dare to quibble? People like you have to be strong. ”

Several healthy servants at the door got a hint and held down Zhou Lu and hit him, Zhou Lu hugged his head and jumped up, he couldn't stand it, and said loudly: "Don't fight, don't fight, I'll tell the truth." ”

The servant stopped, Zhou Lu snorted a few times, told the truth, and confessed the name of the building.

"That's what happened to me when I sent you an article?" Hearing this, Lou Ji regretted it more and more.

"There's no way, they're beating people hard."

"It's not the first time you've been beaten, and haven't you found someone to avenge you? Let him report again. ”

"Don't mention that incident, that person has a temper with Lou Gongzi, don't give money, don't make friends, and finally simply close the door, so I haven't avenged the last beating, and I was beaten again this time...... What's more, the person who beat me this time was not Diao Min, but ...... It's a prince. ”

"Prince?"

"Zhang Shiduan, the son of King Guangling, the younger brother of the current emperor, grew up in the palace when he was a child, and was very favored, Lou Gongzi wouldn't have heard of it, right?"

Of course, Lou Ji knows Zhang Shiduan's name, and he also knows the three words "King Guangling", he is a crucial figure in the assassination plan, and if everything goes well, he will be the future emperor.

"He said his name?" The floor asked.

"Yes, when he drove me away, he said that his name was Zhang Shiduan, and he also said...... And said I must bring you to him, or ...... Otherwise, he will put me in jail and ask me for a felony and give me a heavy sentence. ”

"The prince of Guangling has no official position or position, why should he put you in prison?"

"Oh, my Grandpa Lou, don't be naΓ―ve at this time, who is King Guangling? The emperor has to listen to the words of the prince, I ...... this time Woo, anyway, your article caused this trouble, and you have to help me solve it. ”

Knowing the identity of the prince of Guangling, Lou Ji became really interested in this matter, thought for a while, and said, "Since he sent someone to invite you, why didn't he come to invite me directly?" ”

"He didn't trust me, and said that if I lied once, he could lie twice, so he asked me to bring the real author of 'The People to Time', and if there is any more falsehood, he will arrest me at that time." Zhou Lu was anxious to persuade Lou Ji, leaned over and whispered: "And I have inquired carefully, there are really women here, they are all princesses, county lords or something, Zhang Shiduan was pushed out by them to be a meeting, if Lou Gongzi is ......"

"If that's the case, I'm not going to go."

"Don't." Zhou Lu was self-defeating, and hurriedly changed his words, "I just heard that looking at Zhang Shiduan's appearance, he is really interested in your article." ”

Lou Ji thought for a while, "I have to wait for news from the house these days, and I can't go out." ”

"For one night, let's go and go back together, and we won't delay your business."

Lou Ji shook his head, "I didn't write that article to seek wealth and glory, nor to attract fellow believers, if someone likes it, let him come to see me." ”

Zhou Lu smiled bitterly: "I can call you 'grandpa', people don't, that's the prince of Guangling......"

"Even if it's King Guangling himself, I won't go."

Zhou Lu was stunned for a moment and gave a thumbs up, "It's worthy of being the son of a general, why did I forget it?" Your father has a much higher status than my father, so what can King Guangling do? Wasn't he sent to Jiangdong to govern the Diao people? The person who remained in power in the DPRK was still General Lou. ”

"I can't borrow the general's momentum, in short, you go and say to the prince of Guangling: If he cares about the article, then he has already read it, and he will comment on the good or bad; If he cares about people, he asks him to come to the door himself, he wants to test my details, and I want to see if he is worthy of judging my articles. ”

Zhou Lu opened his mouth and stammered, and only after a while did he say: "Okay, I admire your courage, but I won't say these words, just ask Zhang Shiduan to come to your house, if he agrees, everyone will be happy, if he doesn't agree, I have to beg you to ......"

Lou Ji waved his hand, "Go ahead." ”

In the Temptation Hall, Zhou Lu has never been afraid of anyone, but he lost his momentum at Zhang Shiduan, and now he hasn't picked it back, he was shocked by the building foundation, got up and walked out, and couldn't help but ask at the door: "Why can Zhang Shiduan see that the article was not written by me?" Does the order of the five strategies matter that much? ”

"The name doesn't live up to the truth, at a glance, he has made it very clear."

Zhou Lu didn't understand, "It's just an article, to be honest, I haven't seen anything special...... Forget it, I'll go see Zhang Shiduan. Alas, the recent years have not been good, and everything has not been smooth, so I have to find someone to calculate it for me. ”

Lou Ji was very puzzled, did Zhang Shiduan know his father's plan? He wanted to ask Mavi, but he quickly changed his mind and decided to stay at home and wait and see what happened.

The night was deep, and the building where he had slept during the day had no sleep, and the old servant was sleeping soundly, and the snoring continued, coming cautiously through the wall of another room, and the knock on the door outside did not wake him.

The building went to open the door by himself, and asked before the latch: "Which one?" ”

"It's me, Guo Shifeng."

Lou Ji was quite surprised, the two had not seen each other for several days, and according to the plan, they did not need to meet.
