Chapter 1: Temples and Towns (6)

【2nd Update】

"Xu Dezhan just can't bear his temper, if he is honest and obedient, if the soldiers below dare to disobey his orders a little, he will definitely kill the chickens and set an example." Lu Huiqing said, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Even if you have no name, no trust, and no merit, if you don't rely on killing people to establish authority, what else can you rely on?" Han Qi had to rely on this trick back then...... Now it's time to think more about Han Yukun's side, the matter of Hebei orbit should be put aside for the time being, I don't know what he plans next. ”

"Already sure you want to stop? …… From the very beginning, Han Gang was trying to delay the dispatch of troops, or was he saying so when he was in Jingxi, is it because of the Hebei track? ”

"Hmm." Lu Huiqing nodded, "The Hebei track is slow and urgent, and it is a big waste of money and food, which conflicts with the use of troops in the northwest, and it will definitely be delayed for a few years now." Han Gang strongly opposed the attack on Xingling, and there was also this reason. ”

"It could also be put on hold." Lu Shengqing said, "I still remember Han Gang's suggestion back then to attack the sand. When Wang Jiefu was there, he only had time to build the outer embankment. When Wang Jiefu left his post, the result was shelved. Unless you wait until the embankment is broken one day in the future, or Han Gang Bingzheng, it may be delayed forever. ”

Lu Huiqing smiled. The strategy of harnessing water and attacking sand is a river defense plan initiated by Han Gang and strongly promoted by Wang Anshi, but after Wang Anshi leaves office, which deacon will make wedding clothes for Han Gang and Wang Anshi and re-support the stalls they left behind? After a lot of hard work, the most important credit has to be attributed to Wang Anshi and Han Gang. The embankment of the Yellow River is now very stable, and the prime minister of the Eastern Mansion and those who are interested in participating in politics are dragging it out, and the Son of Heaven has no choice.

"But the track and the embankment are two different things." He restrained his smile and said, "The freight fee of Fangcheng Rail is 20,000 yuan a month, which is equivalent to the revenue of Beijing City Yiwu." Just for this income, the Hebei track will have to be built sooner or later, not to mention the advantage of convenient troop transfer, the Son of Heaven will not let people delay it for too long. ”

"Then Han Gang can only wait now, until the official army captures Xingqing Mansion...... Anyway, he has no shortage of credit, and when he is old, he will be able to enter the two mansions, and it doesn't matter if he waits for a while. ”

Lu Huiqing picked up the teacup without any expression, put it to her lips and took a sip, but she didn't drink anything. When I looked down, I found that the cup was already empty.

He put down the teacup, stood up, and pushed open the window a little irritably, and the cold wind suddenly rushed in. Lu Shengqing shivered, and Lu Huiqing stood by the window unconsciously, looking at the lights still flickering on the west side, and asked, "The righteous path is still in the west courtyard?" ”

The right way is the expression of Lu Huiqing's son-in-law Yu Zhong. Lu Shengqing nodded when he heard this: "Before the eldest brother came back, Zhengdao said that he would talk to them about the key points of today's exam with Eleven tonight, and most of them were still working hard...... The right way is that the country is the son of the country, and he is the champion, and the three brothers have his guidance, and the first list of Jinshi is more certain. Even if you don't make the list, it's not bad to go to Guozi to study for three years. ”

Lu Huiqing's expression eased.

Although the Lu family is a Fujian family, there are many Jinshi who are as worthless as stones - Lu Huiqing's Jiayou second year list of Jinshi, brothers and clan brothers in the same family, including Deqing, Heqing, Yuqing, and Jingqing; Two years later, Jiayou was four years old, and there were Langqing and Wen Qing; Xining three years of Lu Shengqing High School; In the sixth year of Xining, it was the two sons of Lu Huiqing's brother Lu Qiaoqing, Lu Yang and Lu Houzhong, the same year as Han Gang; Lu Qiaoqing's Jinshi was earlier than Lu Huiqing, in the second year of Qingli, and there was also Lu Xiaqing in the same department as him, Su Song and Wang Anshi were the same year as them - but Jinshi is Jinshi, and it is always good to have one more.

After the New Year, it is the Ministry of Rites exam, and three more sons and nephews of the Lu family have gone to Beijing to take the exam and are living in the house. Lu Huiqing and Lu Shengqing's minds are all focused on the practical method, and now, they don't have much energy to take care of them, so they simply entrust it to Yu Zhong.

Yu Zhong is Lu Huiqing's son-in-law, on the same list as Han Gang, and he is the champion. In the past two years, he has also lectured on Guozijian directly, giving lectures to 2,400 Taixue students in Taixue, in addition, there is also the office of Taichangcheng. Except for Han Gang, he was the fastest rising in the same year.

"Big brother." Lu Shengqing said with some hesitation, "There is another thing that Zhengdao wanted to tell the eldest brother, but it happened that Xu Xi came, so I didn't have time to say it." ”

"What's the matter?" Lu Huiqing closed the window and sat back.

"Recently, a student from the dormitory openly declared that the Taixue lecturer is unfair, and the school examination students are all based on their personal preferences. Moreover, the lecturer went to Taixue, entered at the time, and went out at noon, neglecting his official duties. So Zhengdao wanted to mention it to his eldest brother and ask for an idea. ”

Lu Huiqing's expression changed when she heard this, and she asked sharply, "What's going on?!" ”

Lu Shengqing said with a smile: "It's just that the losers are jealous. Taixue determined the list of promotions, and Yu Fan was not among them, and he was unwilling. It's not a big deal, the righteous path is just a mention. ”

Lu Huiqing wouldn't believe that things would be so simple, otherwise there was no need to say it solemnly, but Yu Zhong was his son-in-law after all, and it was difficult to say something in front of his younger brother, so he frowned: "Be careful in this matter, there is no one in Yushi Taichung who doesn't want to do a big case, bring down a Zaifu, and then become famous in one fell swoop." If you want to be famous, you want to go crazy, give them a chance, and they will definitely go to prison and show their talents. ”

"Can you make Shu ......?"

Lu Huiqing shook her head, "Don't count on it." Shu Yan is also a royal history! ”

Lu Huiqing never thought that he had the ability to control the Yushitai, and he couldn't do it with the holy favor that Wang Anshi received back then, at most he could only force the Son of Heaven to choose one of the two. The imperial history of Wutaizhong, if the interests coincide, they will stand on their side, but to say that they will be honest and obedient and do whatever they say is simply a dream. Any imperial historian is basically independent, and he will not listen to the words of the ruler, nor will he listen to the words of the imperial historian, let alone the imperial history of the palace as a deputy.

Cai is indeed a good example of ready-made, he stabbed Wang Anshi at the beginning, and now he is a bachelor of Hanlin, and it seems that it will not take long to enter the two mansions. In the face of the future, everything has to stand aside.

"Is it really going to be like this?" Lu Shengqing had a bitter face.

"Just in case." Lu Huiqing tried his best to make a casual attitude, but his expression didn't say so.

How could Lu Shengqing not see the mood of his brother-in-law, and asked in a deep voice: "What about the eleventh brother and brother?" ”

Lu Huiqing thought for a while and said, "If the eleventh brother and the three of them can't pass the Jinshi exam, don't go to the Guozijian for the time being, wait a year." ”

Lu Shengqing sighed: "It can only be done temporarily...... But if you want to make progress in your studies, you must have more contact with other scholars. Guozijian can't get around. ”

"If you can't get around, you can go back to Fujian, and then take the tribute from Fujian. Although it is not as thick as Zhang Zihou, it is not difficult for me to enter the Lu family. ”

"That's all there is to it." Lu Shengqing nodded.

The suspicion of melon fields and plums must not be touched, especially in the process of implementing the hands-on law, Lu Huiqing has offended too many officials and gentry, and revealing a little flaw will become a fatal injury. In this case, if they can't pass the exam, and they go to Guozijian to mix up the qualifications of a tribute student in the lower department, they will definitely be taken out as a weapon to impeach Lu Huiqing, and it is a deadly weapon.

"Okay......" Lu Huiqing stood up again, feeling irritable, and didn't want to say anything more, "Go back and rest early, I have to ...... tomorrow" As soon as the words stopped, he shook his head, now that it has entered the New Year's holiday, there is no court meeting before the New Year's Day. An ordinary court official like Lu Shengqing can rest at home.

Lu Shengqing was interested, nodded and got up: "The younger brother will go back to rest first, and the eldest brother will rest early, and he will still enter the palace tomorrow." ”

Lu Shengqing left, but Lu Huiqing sat in the study again. At present, there is chaos at home and abroad, and everything is a headache. Especially in Taixue, he smelled a hint of danger, and it might turn into a big storm.

The flickering candlelight left a shaky shadow on Lu Huiqing's face.

It doesn't hurt to support Wang Qi militarily, in exchange, that is, the hand practice method is not interfered with. But Lu Huiqing didn't expect Wang Jue to be impeached by herself, and it was a blessing not to step on it.

Lu Huiqing knew what his problem was. The two houses have always been a place to seek stability, and people who are not too prominent, whether they are old or act, cannot be too different from others. It is Han Gang, who is also the top in the DPRK, and the same is idle.

Wang Anshi implemented the new law, offended countless officials and gentry, turned against many old friends, and made the country rich and strong for the Son of Heaven. If you just want to implement a practical method, you have to tremble and walk on thin ice.

On the contrary, it is a mediocre person like Wang Jue, but he can live in peace and worry in the court, never disobeying his will without saying a word, since the early years of Xining to the present, he has been sitting in the East Mansion peacefully, smiling and watching others come and go. As long as you don't do things, you will never make mistakes!

It's not the early years of Xining, after entering Yuanfeng, the Son of Heaven's mind is becoming more and more stable and not changing, how Lu Huiqing can't understand it.

But he can't learn from Wang Jue, and he can't learn from him. If your foundation is built on the new law, you can't change your course. Now that you have got into this car and become a driver of the car, you must drive the car down, even if there is a cliff ahead, you must persevere to the end.

Step out of the study, look up at the sky, and look up at the starry sky. A half-moon hung high in the blue sky. The other half of the moon is not gone, but hidden in the shadows.

Lu Huiqing looked at the half moon in the sky and laughed at herself. I am still in the shadow of Wang Anshi, if I want to get rid of the Lu and make some achievements, I can't take a step back, not half a step!
