424 Lu Jia asked

On this day, Cai Dao was recruited into the palace again, and on the way, he asked the little eunuch who led the way, but this little eunuch was too young and had too little knowledge, so he just said that there was a civil official in His Majesty's palace who had not seen him.

Cai Dao knew that Lu Jiawen, who he had been waiting for, came back.

Zhao Xu knows the importance of the Lu family, and it is no wonder that everyone said that the prime minister today is either Han or Lu.

However, Zhao Xu just couldn't understand why Cai Dao had to ask for a conversation with Lu Jia.

Cai Dao, under the guidance of a little eunuch, came to the Qinzheng Palace, and saw a thirty or forty-year-old Confucian sitting next to Zhao Xu's palace.

Although I haven't seen it, I can see some shadows of Xu Guogong's book from his eyebrows, no need to ask, this official must be Lu Jiaqing.

Lu Jia asked, the word Wangzhi, is the grandson of Xu Guogong Lu Yijian's eldest son, Xu Guogong. Because he stole the letter of his uncle Xu Guogong from his home and showed it to Wang Anshi, he was called a thief by the Lu family and the outside world.

"Your Majesty, this is the famous thief Lu Jia asked, Lord Lu!" As soon as Cai Dao opened his mouth, he turned on the poisonous tongue mode, and suffocated Lu Jiawen to death in a breath.

Lu Jia asked if he was naturally not a good stubble, how could he swallow this breath when he was so sarcastic by a young man, so he sarcastically said: "You are the fatherless and motherless Luo Guozi!" Sure enough, there is no tutor. ”

However, for the traversing crowd, if Lu Jia asked, for Cai Dao, it was not lethal at all, and he said with a smile: "Lord Lu is really a family origin!" Born poor, he didn't know his father or mother, so he naturally didn't have any family education. Excuse me, Lord Lu, how should the word thief be explained? ”

"You ......" two thieves in a row, Lu Jiawen was angry, and the beard under his chin was pouted with anger.

Cai Daosheng was afraid of making the other party angry, so he asked with a straight face: "Master Lu, you and I met for the first time, and we have no old grudges." Do you really have to do it, Poor Dao came to see you on purpose, just to sarcastically mock you? ”

"In the third year of Jing You, Fan Zhongyan presented the "Hundred Officials Map" to Emperor Renzong, and then connected to four chapters, repeatedly impeaching your great-grandfather Xu Guogong, criticizing Xu Guogong for being cunning and being a great traitor. Later, Ouyang Xiu even wrote the essay on the party of friends, accusing Xu Guogong and his subordinates of being a party of villains, but he claimed that they were the party of gentlemen.

Your Majesty, Lord Lu, think about it again, how similar is the Jingyou Party Struggle and Xining and Yuanfeng Party Struggle!

Later, Fan Zhongyan was stationed in the northwest, and the world said that he was the first virtuous minister in the world when he came out and was a general when he entered. But in the eyes of Poor Dao, this Fan Gong is just a vain name. Your Majesty, do you know how this Fan Gong held Yanzhou in the northwest? Forts were established in key places and advanced layer by layer, further reducing the scope of the attack of the Western Xia army. That is, today, the basic strategy of the Western Army to resist the attack of the Western Xia Kingdom.

Because of the lack of war horses, this strategy is of course correct. However, when implementing this strategy, there is a very premise. That is the abundance of troops and money. When this Fan Duke was an official in a wealthy place, he still had quite a lot of political achievements, but once he arrived in the northwest, he never fully demonstrated his outstanding political ability. On the contrary, the money and grain he had been using to build the castle were all accumulated by Xu Guogong, who he accused of being a traitor, from the income of the imperial court little by little in the center and sent it to him.

This is the so-called gentleman's party.

Qingli New Deal, why did Song Renzong suddenly abolish this change? Because Emperor Renzong knew that Fan Zhongyan was at most the material of the magistrate, he could not and could not be the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and the changes he presided over would definitely not succeed. It's a pity that at that time, Xu Guogong had already gone immortal. Lord Lu, do you think now, who in your Lu family is the thief? ”

Cai Dao's deafening remarks shocked Lu Jiawen into speechlessness for a while.

"Your Majesty, Fu Bi and Sima Guang openly formed a party in Luoyang City in the name of the Luoyang Senior Citizens Association, and they often criticized the government and government, and even secretly interfered and manipulated the government government. These people are even inferior to those gentlemen in the Renzong Dynasty in the local area! For example, Lord Wang Shao, he opened up the river for the emperor, and the result? is a good two-list jinshi, but they are classified among the generals by their gentlemen. ”

At this time, Lu Jiawen finally understood the meaning of Cai Dao's words, and thanked Cai Dao with some excitement: "Cai Daochang, I understand, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." I, Lu Jiawen, walked in the way of my great-grandfather, and my uncle and grandfather completely turned their backs on my great-grandfather's ideas. They're the real thieves! ”

Cai Dao's words can be regarded as relieving the knot that has been stuck in his heart for so many years.

"Lord Lu, Poor Dao and you have made it clear that Your Majesty is going to move all the family of Lord Lu and Lord Lu to the northwest." Seeing that the time had come, Cai Dao then gave Lu Jia another dose of fierce medicine.

Hearing this, Lu Jiawen was taken aback, and asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, dare to ask, where do you want to move my uncle's family to the northwest?" ”

Although Lu Jiawen has different political views from several uncles, he can't write two Lu characters in one stroke, and they are still a family in the final analysis. Besides, his four uncles have all passed away. Zhao Xu is now turning over old accounts, which will inevitably make him feel cold.

"Well, I'm going to move all of his family to a few bunkers around Hongde City." Zhao Xu couldn't help but smile and replied seriously. However, this is indeed what he has in mind.

Cai Dao explained to Lu Jiawen the deep meaning of the official's move.

"Your Majesty, Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, and Lu Gongshu and others don't know that they have always pursued the strategy of ceding territory to seek peace? Heaven has the virtue of a good life, this time, His Majesty would rather abandon Hongde City again, but also make peace with the Western Xia Kingdom, but he does not want to see the people on the border live in war like this again. Heaven has the virtue of a good life!

Now, since peace can be bullied, the officials who advocated this policy should be the first to enjoy such benefits. Although Hongdecheng was given to the Western Xia Kingdom, the surrounding tens of thousands of acres of land are still owned by my Great Song Dynasty, and His Majesty has already rewarded these ministers with these lands. Your uncle has passed away, but His Majesty still rewarded him with 20,000 acres of fine arable land. ”

Although all this is true, the Hetao area is vast and sparsely populated, the land resources are abundant, and the place is irrigated by the Yellow River, so it is naturally a first-class fertile land.

But the more Lu Jia asked, the more frightened he became, and by the end, cold sweat had soaked his whole body. Obviously, these days, the autumn tiger is unbearably hot, but at this moment, he feels the cold and biting meaning.

Lu Jia asked if it was not those rotten Confucians, who knew the nature of the monarch of the Western Xia Kingdom, that is, a hungry wolf who could not be fed.

Sima Guang's strategy of ceding Sizhai was just a reluctance to buy peace for a while. Otherwise, last year, the Empress Dowager Liang of the Western Xia Kingdom would not have led a large army to attack Hongde City.

I don't know who gave Zhao Xu the most damaging idea, it's really bad.

Where is this, what is the virtue of a good life in heaven?
