Chapter 335: The Reason
After that, until June, Lu Jin's life can be described as a spring breeze, and it was very smooth both in public and private.
In private, after making a mistake and accomplishing good things with Chu Yunrong that night, the previous situation of being alone in the empty room was completely reversed. The two girls finally changed their previous shyness and indifference, although they did not let him fulfill his wish and let the three of them compose a song of life together, but they also hugged him left and right, allowing him to enjoy the blessings of all people.
As for Zaigong, because of the previous incident on the dock, although the Yan family was not really convicted, it also made Lu Jin's reputation in Suzhou officialdom, and everyone in the government was respected, and the official affairs were naturally more handy, and he almost did not encounter any difficulties.
Such a leisurely day made Lu Jin feel that he no longer wanted to be an official like before, as long as he was a good master in Suzhou City, a promising profession, he could be regarded as having an explanation in his life.
As for the great changes that affected the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty in front of him, he also temporarily left it behind. After all, he has no official position now, and no matter how many ideas he has, it is just a fantasy. As for saying it to make people vigilant, it is even more unrealistic, others will only regard him as a madman, and maybe someone like Wang Zhen will say that he has malicious intentions and will take him down.
Who said that if you go through a time, you have to leave a big name in history, change a period of regret, and you can't live your own small life and be the most ordinary people?
When this idea was born, Lu Zhen became more at ease, and in addition to dealing with related matters in the Yamen every day, he accompanied the two women at home, walking around inside and outside Suzhou City to see, what Tiger Hill, what Hanshan Temple, and all ran around.
Just when he thought that he would always live such a peaceful life in the future, on the afternoon of June 23, the Kang Governor's Mansion suddenly sent someone to call him to him.
In this regard, Lu Zhen didn't have too many thoughts, but said that Kang Sichuan had any official affairs in the yamen to tell him to do, so he saluted as usual, and then sat down and waited.
After processing a document at hand, Kang Sichuan raised his head and looked at Lu Jin: "Shansi has been under my curtain for several months, are you still used to everything?" ”
"Thank you for your concern, everything is okay in the next place, and everyone in the yamen is also very cooperative." Lu Jinxing also replied with a smile.
"Shansi, you are indeed a talent, since you came to the government, this official can clearly feel that the burden on his body is much lighter. With your help, everything in the prefect's yamen and even the entire Suzhou Mansion is in order, not to mention the cases you solved before and the docks. Kang Sichuan said approvingly.
Lu Zhen hurriedly replied modestly: "The owner has praised it, and he just did his duty." As for the things on the dock, I am ashamed to say that I did not find out the illegal salt after all. ”
"Hey, it's no wonder to you for this, this is a trouble for the official after all. Speaking of which, the official was a little unsure of your ability before, but now it seems that with your talent, being such a little master is indeed wronged by you. ”
Lu Zhen was stunned when he said this, didn't the other party personally invite himself into the government as a staff member because he recognized his ability early on? Why are you talking like that now?
Kang Sichuan saw the doubts in Lu Jin's heart at a glance, so he smiled: "Good thoughts, now that the matter is now, there are some things that the official will no longer hide from you." That's why I came to invite you that time, but I was actually entrusted by someone. In addition, it is also out of some selfishness, and I hope you don't want to be strange. ”
"The owner's words are becoming more and more unclear." Lu Zhen looked at the other party with some doubts, he felt that things were a little strange before, and now it seems that he is indeed not worried too much.
"There are two kinds of people who recommend you to this officer. One of them is the official Hu Butang, he wrote that you are outstanding, if you can't serve the court is really a big loss to my Ming, so I hope I can invite you to your side to reuse. Kang Sichuan smiled and told the truth.
When Lu Zhen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed gratitude: "It's really embarrassing to let Mr. use his mind for such a little person as me a few times." This kindness is a broken bone, and I'm afraid I won't be able to repay it. By the way, what about the other recommendation? ”
"It's a letter from the Yu family." Kang Sichuan did not shy away from it, and said directly: "Actually, this official and Lord Yu Qian also have a relationship, and they also went to Hangzhou Yu's house to visit his high hall. That old lady Yu, that is also a person with grace and talent, but it's a pity that ......" Speaking of this, he sighed.
Lu Zhen also sighed, although he and Yu Yanzhao had not met a few times, but they still admired him a lot. How many old people can still be calm in the face of the attacks of so many pirates?
Thinking that the old man had gone west at this time, Lu Jin's heart was naturally very uncomfortable. Especially when I think of him being Yu Qian's father again, this is even more worrying.
"Originally, this official also personally came to invite you to the curtain because of the recommendation of these two aspects. Now it seems that what they said is true, and your talents sometimes seem to be stronger than mine, who is the prefect. If it weren't for the villains in the court, I'm afraid you would have a place in the court now. Kang Sichuan said with praise again.
Lu Zhen hurriedly waved his hand: "The adult is overrated, it's just a little luck, and it's just a small thing, it's not worth mentioning." ”
"Hehe, you don't have to be modest, this official will not look at the wrong person. Maybe it won't be long before you can be reinstated, and then you'll know that what I'm saying is true. ”
Lu Zhen humbled himself a few more words, and then asked curiously: "I don't know why the adults said this today?" "Yes, if he didn't mention this kind of thing before, then he wouldn't say a few words until Lu Zhen was about to leave, why did he say it today? Is it to say that you are going to send yourself away?
Kang Sichuan shook his head with a smile: "Sure enough, I still can't hide it from you." The reason why I tell you everything today is because there is something I want you to do, and it concerns the two sides that I have mentioned. ”
"Hu Butang and Lord Yu?" Lu Zhen subconsciously muttered, and then thought of something, and couldn't help but tentatively say: "But does the imperial court intentionally want Lord Yu to take away his love?" ”
"You really see it through." Kang Sichuan looked Lu Jin up and down in surprise, if he didn't know that he had been in the government all along, and it was impossible to get news from the capital, he would have thought that Lu Zhen still had an official position in the court: "Yes, that's it." ”
"Although Lord Yu has not yet held any important positions in the court, and has only been sent to other provinces as governors, his status in the eyes of the Son of Heaven is quite important. In fact, a few years ago, when he was governor of Henan, he had already exerted his ability to govern far beyond his peers, which was praised by all the cabinet members. Because of this, His Majesty originally planned to pull him into the ranks of Beijing officials in the next two years, and then slowly let him officially enter the center.
"But I didn't expect that there would be such a change this year, and he would actually ...... old lady Yu And Lord Yu is a person who abides by filial piety, even if His Majesty has kept him several times, he still insists on returning to his hometown to worry about filial piety. Last month, he went directly to all official positions and then returned to Hangzhou. Speaking of this, he sighed again, but he didn't know whether he was sighing at Yu Qian's filial piety, or envying the other party for being trusted by the Son of Heaven.
Lu Zhen also smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't know that in history, Yu Qian did resign because of his father's death, but he said that all this was caused by himself, and he blamed himself in his heart. So after being silent for a while, he said, "I don't know what I can do in this matter?" ”
Kang Sichuan smiled when he heard this, he was waiting for this sentence, and immediately said: "Shansi, what you are doing in Hangzhou, the official has already heard about it." Truly, you have a great kindness to your family. And after Hu Butang knew about this, he also came up with an idea, hoping that you would come forward and go to Hangzhou to persuade him, so that Lord Yu could put aside his personal gains and losses for the time being, and return to the court again. ”
Lu Zhen was a little surprised and stunned for a moment, not that he didn't want to be this lobbyist, but he really couldn't believe that he could be so persuasive? Even if they are really kind to their family, it doesn't seem to be a reason for them to want to use themselves.
Kang Sichuan saw the doubts in his heart, so he smiled bitterly and said: "In fact, the imperial court has sent a number of officials who have had a close relationship with Lord Yu to Hangzhou to offer condolences and persuasion. However, adults always refused to nod their heads. Now, the imperial court has no other way, so Hu Butang remembered you and wanted to use the relationship between you and the Yu family to try to persuade you. And I heard that you have always given words, so this official is also looking forward to it. ”
Lu Zhen lowered his head and smiled bitterly, okay, it turns out that he is a spare tire after making trouble for a long time, and he is really a substitute among the substitutes who was remembered after having no way, the real water cooler administrator.
But after thinking about it carefully, Lu Zhen stood up again and replied: "Since the owner and Hu Butang are so affordable, and this matter is related to my Ming political situation and national fortunes, then I, Lu Jin, will do my best to achieve the goal!" "I was already haunted by Yu Yanzhao's affairs, but now that I have the opportunity to make up for it, I naturally have to do it well, so that I can be worthy of it, right?
Kang Sichuan was obviously stunned for a moment, and couldn't understand why Lu Zhen would say so much, and actually mention any national fortunes. But he didn't break it, just nodded as if encouraging: "Then there is Lao Shansi." In these two days, you should prepare and go to Hangzhou. ”
