(Ask for collection and recommendation)

"Drive-" The coachman drove his horse, trying to choose a secluded alley to drive.

Zhou Lu shrank in his seat, trembling to himself, and muttered, "Obviously said yes, why is he in such a hurry?" Is it possible to use this method to remind me? ”

After all, the matter started because of himself, Lou Ji was a little embarrassed, and asked weakly: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Lu glanced at Lou Ji blankly, "That ...... Someone sent to my house last night. Zhou Lu shuddered, and when he mentioned this matter, his expression became even more frightened, "Cut off a lock of Chunxian's hair, how much hatred can make people do such a thing?" Chun Xian was so frightened that he fainted at that time, and now the water and rice are not entering, and he is crying vigorously......"

Zhou Lu was wearing a hat on his head, and he couldn't see how much hair he had, and Lou Ji only realized that something was wrong at this time, "Spring leisure is ......"

"One of my concubines, first-class in appearance and good at singing and dancing, was bought by me at a great price...... The important thing is not this, someone actually cut off her hair ruthlessly! And I just slept next to it, and the scissors moved a little bit ...... or two" Zhou Lu trembled even more.

That lock of hair was in Lou Ji's arms at the moment, and he was going to take it back to Hong Daohui or Ma Wei, but when he thought that it belonged to Zhou Lu's concubine, Lou Ji was embarrassed, "It may not be the prince of Guangling......"

"Shh Zhou Lu looked nervously left and right, then pointed to the coachman in front of him, and whispered, "This is my father's car." Then he returned to his normal tone, "The person who cut his hair left a note, 'I know it', isn't this just a threat to me?" ”

"Ahh Lou Ji couldn't say anything more, and found that the carriage had turned onto the avenue, "Shall we go out of the city?" ”

"It's still Guangpu Temple, and the place hasn't changed."

With some apologies, Lou Ji stayed in the car.

"What shall I say when I get to the place?" Zhou Lu was flustered and didn't have the slightest idea.

Lou Ji pretended to think for a while, "Don't say anything." ”

"Yes, yes, they didn't sign the note, and I pretended to be confused."

Zhou Lu recognized the way, rushed to the back door of the temple before noon, the last section of the road needs to walk, the building base follows, I hope that the matter here can end soon.

Zhou Lu knocked for a while before someone inside opened the door, and the servant said with a puzzled face: "So early? Didn't you say before nightfall? ”

Zhou Lu recognized that this was the servant who had been to his house, and immediately smiled: "Now is also before nightfall, Duan Shizi's order, I am fully executed, and there is no discount." ”

The servant looked behind Zhou Lu, "This is Lou Gongzi?" ”

"Yes, if it's fake, the article was also written by him, if you don't believe it, you can ask now."

The servant smiled and said, "I'm a subordinate, how can I understand these things?" Please come in, I'll ...... Inform the owner. ”

This is the backyard of the temple, which is full of meditation rooms and guest rooms, but there are no monks to be seen, and it is quite empty.

Lou Ji and Zhou Lu were brought into a meditation room, the servants set up a few sets of tea on the low couch, the two knelt on the futon, just a few bells came from outside, the water vapor was ethereal, the tea fragrance was elegant, there was nothing left in the room, through the half-open door, you could see the early falling leaves dancing in the wind, and the mood of the building was quiet all of a sudden.

Zhou Lu didn't realize the benefits of this, the hand holding the cup kept trembling, watching the servant leave, and immediately whispered: "When Duan Shizi asks, do you know how to answer?" ”

"It's all obvious things, what is there to answer?"

"Hehe, you can just say this kind of thing to me, Duan Shizi-" Zhou Lu glanced out of the room, and his voice was lowered, "That's a ruthless man, he can send assassins for a little thing, if he really gets angry......"

Zhou Lu's arms kept stirring, so he had to put down the teacup and sighed: "I only understand now that what Dongyang Marquis, what military merits, what ministers, when they meet the emperor's relatives and relatives, there is no difference between them and ordinary people. Alas, it's still my father's short-sightedness and he didn't get close to the emperor, how can it be like your Lou family - the general's wife and the queen mother are sisters, and the general of the Chinese army is married to a princess, and his position is stable......"

"Do you want to swap identities with me?"

"Huh?"

"If you can, are you willing to be the son of the Lou family, and I will go to the Zhou family?"

Zhou Lu laughed a few times, "To tell you the truth, with Lou Zhongjun, I am willing to exchange, with you...... Forget it, the Lou family is good, but there is one bad one, there are too many brothers in the family, and there are few favored. Although the Zhou family is a small family with only three brothers, at least I am still favored. Lou Gongzi hasn't gotten married yet, right? I have two sons now. ”

"Everyone has his own ambitions."

"No matter how ambitious you are, can you still not like your son? I don't believe it. Zhou Lu pursed his lips and regained some confidence.

Lou Ji smiled, and tasted tea silently.

Zhou Lu couldn't help but get up, walked to the door and looked out, "Yesterday I was in a hurry to send an assassin, why aren't you in a hurry today?" ”

There was no squeak on the floor of the building.

After a full hour, the tea was cold, and Zhang Shiduan finally appeared.

This is a handsome young man, who looks two or three years younger than Lou Ji, dressed in brocade clothes, and although his appearance is immature, he already has a bit of princely arrogance.

Zhou Lu had already retreated to the couch, looked down at the teacup, and made up his mind that he would never participate in the Q&A.

The servant opened the door, and Zhang Shiduan stood at the door, looking at the building unceremoniously.

Lou Ji also looked at him, did not get up, did not bow his hand.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Zhang Shiduan said: "You wrote 'using the people to time'?" ”

"Exactly."

"Why pretend to others?"

"Imprisoned body, no intention to fight for fame."

"There are many people who are imprisoned, but there are not many who have no intention of fighting for fame. Well, let me ask you, do you know how much my Tiancheng Dynasty recruits every year? How much does it cost? How much is civil engineering? How many ditches? How much to build? ”

"I don't know." Lou Ji's heart is bright, the prince of Guangling is really deeply influenced by the current emperor, and even his thoughts are the same.

"Hey, I don't even know this, why do you say that this dynasty abuses the people's power?"

"If I'm not mistaken, there is no 'abuse of people's power' in my article."

"There are no four words, but there is this meaning, otherwise, where does the 'use of the people and time' come from?"

Although this dynasty does not spare the people's power, it is of great use to what is levied, transferred, requisitioned, and demanded, and it cannot be called 'abuse of people's power'."

Zhang Shiduan was slightly stunned, "In that case, it is redundant for you to suggest 'using the people to time'?" ”

"It's not redundant, it's good to have a comparison, the reader should have a deep or shallow knowledge of the classics of the hundred schools, whether deep or shallow, but who can see a thousand lines and ten thousand lines? It is necessary to accumulate years, painstakingly, and step by step, in order to be able to go from shallow to deep, from less to more. If you are in a hurry, you must integrate hundreds of schools of thought within a year or two, and it is inevitable that you will be slacking off if you don't learn. When I write 'use the people with time', the current disadvantage is not 'indiscriminate', but 'urgent'. ”

Zhang Shiduan was stunned again, "Wait for me for a while." Then he turned and took the servant and departed.

Zhou Lu and the others walked away and whispered: "If you taught me these earlier, I won't be so embarrassed." ”

"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming, I can't predict what the other party will ask, how can I teach you how to answer in advance?"

"Hehe, if you don't want to teach, you don't want to teach, you are willing to come this time, just to do me a big favor, I don't care about other things."

Zhang Shiduan came back quickly, didn't bring a servant, entered the room alone, still standing at the door, "I was confused by you, and I have to go back to the beginning: you don't know anything about the amount of requisition in this dynasty, how do you know that everything you do is useful?" ”

"The prince asked me 'how much', I really don't know, but I have a general understanding: He Rong in the north, He Rong in the west, and Fu Qun in the south, all three are the priorities of Jingbian to protect the people, but the urgency is different. He Rong is strong and prosperous, and he frequently disturbs the border, which is a big disaster and has to be levied. There are many species and barbarian communities, which do not belong to each other, and can be temporarily restrained. The imperial court wants to strike at the same time, which is the next policy. ”

"Once it is done, it will be worry-free for 100 years."

"Compete for power, but luckily for a while, the world is unified, there is a perfect strategy, why be greedy for success? Moreover, the situation of thieves in the territory has not been settled, and Qin and the two states have been in emergency one after another, which has dispersed the troops. It is unwise to have elbows and armpits that have not been removed, but to be anxious about external affairs. As for palaces, ditches, river transportation, tuntian, and city building, there are all priorities, and all things will shake the foundation. ”

"You...... Wait a little longer. Zhang Shiduan turned around and walked away.

"He's asking someone else for advice, isn't he?" Zhou Lu finally saw it, and then regretted it, "If I had brought you earlier, I could have done the same." But you won't agree, that's the most troublesome point. ”

Zhang Shiduan came back, "I was almost deceived by you, or this question: you don't even know the amount, and the so-called 'priority and urgency' are all nonsense." ”

Lou Ji was silent, as if he was running out of words, Zhou Lu became nervous again, and Zhang Shiduan showed a smile on his face.

"See the subtleties." Lou Ji finally spoke, his tone slow, "If everything can only be discussed with a prophetic amount, then the military officer can replace the general, the secretary can replace the minister, and the slave can replace the master." ”

"Exaggerated." Zhang Shiduan said coldly.

"Your Excellency always asks about the amount, but the court has never announced the details, how can I know? Using one's own strengths and saving others' shortcomings is tantamount to forcing everyone to keep silent, in this case, what is the meaning of the so-called admonition? I don't know the exact amount, but I can still talk about current affairs, because I have a trick - see the subtle knowledge: Qinzhou has only been a famine for two years, the people have been displaced, thieves have swarmed, and it is obvious that the local reserves are insufficient; The imperial court prepared an expedition to He Rong, but the army was not launched, and a rebellion broke out in the state first, and there was also chaos in Jizhou, apparently because the frontier soldiers were tired of fighting; Jiangdong has been obedient for many years, and it still needs to be guarded by the imperial court with ten armies, obviously because the people's hearts have not yet been completely annexed; Inside and outside Luoyang, the people lit the lights at night and rushed to work, obviously because the DPRK could relevle more people's power. ”

"Hey, it's all a small thing, it only takes a few years to solve it."

Lou Ji smiled and said: "Only its 'micro', you and I still have the opportunity to discuss here, to be 'written', any discussion is redundant, when the building has collapsed, everyone is just self-preservation." ”

Zhou Lu's face changed slightly, and he felt that Lou Ji's words seemed to have crossed the line, implying that this dynasty would be incorrigible, which was a big crime.

Zhang Shiduan was not angry, and thought seriously for a while, "You...... Wait a little longer. ”

As soon as Zhang Shiduan left, Zhou Lu immediately said: "You really dare to say it, but your words are very reasonable, I have been convinced, and Duan Shizi and his teacher are probably the same." Hehe, Lou Gongzi is extraordinary, no wonder the pedants of the Temptation Hall praise you behind your back. ”

Lou Ji sighed lightly, "Only those who are willing to listen will be persuaded, and when I meet those who are not willing to listen, I am afraid that I have already fallen to the ground at this moment." ”

"Is that an exaggeration?"

Lou Ji nodded, knowing very well that with his words just now, he was by no means the emperor's opponent, which made him feel disappointed and had no pride in winning.
