PS: I asked for a recommendation ticket on Monday!! I don't want to fall too far behind

The scene of the angel's visit has been seen by the students who have studied in Lu's Thatched Cottage for many years, so when Li Linfu and his party left, the excitement of the younger generation was irrepressible, and there were few old people who came out to laugh at their shallow knowledge. One of the old students, who was nearly forty years old, even sneered: "Do you think Master Lu is one of those vulgar people who regard seclusion as a shortcut to the south!" The saint has been recruited several times before, but Master Lu has never gone out of the mountain to answer the order, and this time will definitely be no exception! ”

"But the Son of Heaven is sincerely recruited, and Master Lu has repeatedly disobeyed orders, what if it makes the saint angry?"

"The senior brother is not here, and the senior brothers have not returned to the mountain yet......"

In the midst of these various discussions, Du Shiyi helped Lu Hong back to the grass house. Seeing that he was holding the roll of white linen paper with a stunned face, he carefully helped him to sit on the couch, and then said softly: "Master Lu, after all, it has been delayed for the time being, you might as well rest for a while and make a decision slowly." ”

"The time you politely refused Liu Nuan, he didn't come sincerely, you said a perfunctory word, and he went. In the past, although the saints were recruited several times, they were often sent down by the secretary province, and this time they actually sent officials above the fifth rank...... Alas! Lu Hong shook his head slightly, and then handed the white linen paper edict to Du Shiyi, "You might as well take a look at this volume." ”

Du Shiyi had only glimpsed a few words behind him before, but now that Lu Hong allowed it, he hurriedly took it with both hands, and then slowly unfolded it. After reading this short edict from beginning to end, and savoring the deep meaning of the words, he couldn't help but sink in his heart.

After studying for more than half a year, Lu Hong's temperament is already very clear, indifferent to fame and fortune, there is no class, he summons students to ask questions in his spare time, poetry and literature gatherings, and even exchanges poems and songs with a group of friends, calligraphy and painting entertainment, and he also has his own opinions on the principles of governing the country of those Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers in historical tales, but he has no interest in officialdom and fame and fortune, so it is not hypocritical that he should not be recruited, but sincerely.

Thinking of this, he handed back the edict, seeing Lu Hong rubbing his eyebrows and looking tired, he knew that he couldn't persuade him to keep it at this time, so he resigned. When he got out of the cottage and learned that Lu Wangzhi still hadn't come back, he couldn't help frowning, and he still couldn't calm down when he returned to the house and copied the books for a long time.

It wasn't until late evening that Lu Wangzhi rushed back, and when he learned that an angel had come when he was away, this senior brother who had always been casual and informal frowned for a while. And Song Shen, Hou Xiao and others returned one after another, and they were a little at a loss for the books sent to the cottage again. When several people gathered in the cottage to discuss countermeasures, some people persuaded Lu Hongmian to apply for the job, and some people insisted that it was not appropriate to apply.

This night, I don't know how many people in the cottage tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night. Therefore, early in the morning, Du Shiyi came out with dark circles under his eyes, and saw that Lu Wangzhi was also blue and black at a glance, and the two of you looked at me, Lu Wangzhi laughed: "I didn't expect that even the extremely smart little junior brother would become like this...... Don't think about it so much, all in all, I served Lu Shi to sleep last night, and he has already made a decision. Since he should not have been called up before, there is no reason why he is reluctant to respond to the call now because of the severity of the edict. Today's sage rebels against Wei Fu Sheji, who is eloquent and strategic, should not be such a heartless person. ”

Having said that, on this day, Lu Hong also started to talk about "The Book of Rites" as usual, however, Du Shiyi always felt that he couldn't let go of it. In the afternoon, he stood in front of the waterfall, where the ice melted and the water flowed much worse than in the rainy season, and he was slightly dazed with his hands folded, until the sound of horses' hooves came to his ears, and he turned his head, but saw a group of people coming from the side of the mountain road.

He thought it was Li Linfu's party again, but after a closer look, he saw that the person at the front was about in his early twenties, stout and burly, dressed in yellow cloth, and the others behind him were also neatly dressed, looking more like servants of a wealthy family. Sure enough, after a short time, someone shouted loudly: "Someone from the Cui family in Yongfengli, the eastern capital, has come to give Lu Shi a New Year's gift!" ”

Knowing that Cui Jianxuan, who had not heard from him for a long time, sent someone, Du Shiyi naturally rushed over immediately. However, Lu Wangzhi was one step ahead of him. Knowing that Cui Jianxuan, who had returned to the Eastern Capital, was not an ordinary servant this time, but let Su Gui, the son of his nursing mother, lead five or six henchmen to give New Year's gifts, Du Shiyi couldn't help but glance at Lu Wangzhi immediately. The two of them didn't ask anything else, and immediately led Su Gui to Lu Hong's cottage. And after Su Gui respectfully greeted him and gave those various gifts, he did not hesitate to say the other most important purpose of this trip.

"Lu Gong, Lu Langjun, Du Langjun, my family Langjun sent a certain person to the cottage, one is to greet and give gifts, and the other is for the changes that have happened these days. At the end of last year, Yao Gong repeatedly wrote to resign and recommended the governor of Song to replace him. Since then, Yao Gong and Yuan Gong have resigned together, while Song Xianggong and Su Xianggong have paid homage to the prime minister. The sage was originally scheduled to patrol the eastern capital at the beginning of the year, but who would have thought that the temple sacrificial room suddenly collapsed. For this reason, although Yao Gong is a scholar, he is still honored and favored for five days, and just a few days ago, he also wrote a letter to invite all states and counties to raise more loyalty, goodness and talent. In particular, there are many talented and hermits in the mountains and grasses, who should be recruited and conferred on officials, so that no talents will be missed. ”

Hearing this, Du Shiyi raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that Master Lu was mentioned?" ”

"Exactly." Su Gui nodded, and then said respectfully, "Although there are many masters living in seclusion in the mountains near Liangjing, if you talk about fame, there is no more than Lu Gong. I heard that as soon as Yao Gong was sparse, someone mentioned Lu Gong, so the sage immediately sent a petition. He hesitated for a moment, but Zuihou still said bluntly, "After my family Langjun returned to the Eastern Capital, everyone knew about coming to study in Lu Gong, and the Yao family Lang of Cihuifang also came to inquire in person. Later, Wujia Langjun learned that the sage planned to issue an edict to recruit hermits, and he was anxious to rush back, but who knew that Mrs. Tai suddenly fell ill, and Zuihou Langjun had to send someone to report the news on the grounds of giving a New Year's gift. ”

"Eleven Lang has a heart...... Yesterday, the edict of the conscription of the saints had already arrived. ”

Su Gui was surprised when he heard Lu Hong's words, seeing Du Shiyi's face full of wry smiles, Lu Wangzhi also frowned, he knew that he was still too late. However, all the words that should have been brought have already been brought, and after he had saluted, he took his leave. Du Shiyi glanced at Lu Wangzhi, then got up and sent Su Gui out. When he arrived outside the cottage, he asked bluntly, "Before your family sent you, did you have any other instructions?" ”

Su Gui seemed to know that Du Shiyi would have this question, and when he looked around, he lowered his voice and said: "Du Langjun, my family Langjun said that it is inconvenient to write letters, so you can only bring oral messages." At this point, I am afraid that he will not be able to return for a while. You have to persuade Lu Gong, he has resigned three times before, if he resigns again this time, I am afraid that there will be criticism in the court, and maybe there will be people who will take advantage of this to make it difficult, and please Lang Jun persuade him more, and ask Lu Gong to reluctantly respond to his fate.

The envoy Li Linfu who came to recruit this time was the nephew of Li Sixun, the general of the Right Military Guard, Peng Guogong, a son of the clan, although he was not very old, many ministers were his in-laws, and he was also a guest in those royal mansions. This person came as ordered, if he didn't succeed, he would inevitably add oil and vinegar in front of the dignitaries in the court after he returned, which was extremely unfavorable to Lu Gong. Lang Jun also said that the two of them were left with Lu Gong to accompany him so that he could go to the Eastern Capital in the future. ”

Hearing this, Du Shiyi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise. Although Cui Jianxuan is not interested in reading and listening to lectures, he has a lot of respect for Lu Hong, if he is not tripped up at home, with this guy's temperament, he can sneak out, and he will never go back forever. It has been several years since today's son Li Longji ascended the throne, and now even Yao Chong said that he would quit the prime minister, which shows the weight of the authority of the Son of Heaven. If a hermit is to be forcibly recruited, the effect of personal will is very small. However, it is normal for Cui Jianxuan to send someone to report the news, but he can analyze it so meticulously, as if he doesn't look like the Cui Shiyi Lang in his impression.

In front of Su Gui, he naturally didn't show such surprise, and after nodding, he asked Su Gui to bring a message to Cui Jianxuan, saying that he would meet the opportunity to act, and when Su Gui left the two of them, he watched from afar that Cui's family of servants disappeared at the end of the mountain road, and couldn't help but think again. Just then, he heard a voice behind him.

"But what kind of message did Eleven Lang bring you to make you look like you are sinking like water?" Seeing that Du Shiyi turned his head to look at himself, and then fell silent, Lu Wangzhi couldn't help laughing, "I knew so!" You and Shiyi Lang are inseparable on weekdays, and now that he has sent someone to report to Lu Shi, he will inevitably tell you something. But don't worry about it. There are people in the world who are ambitious and want to show their ambitions, and there are also people who only seek to study and teach, and Lu Shi is the latter. What is the situation in the DPRK and China, it has nothing to do with the people in the mountains and wilderness. ”

Seeing that Lu Wangzhi said it so simply, Du Shiyi couldn't help laughing and said, "Senior brother is really open-minded! ”

"It's not open-mindedness, and if you don't want it, you don't want it. Lu Shi is the same, among the nobles, relying on people to live a life, such a life, Lu Shi is definitely not willing to go! ”

"An Neng broke his eyebrows and bent his waist to deal with the powerful, which made me unhappy...... Although I would like to echo the elder brother, I am afraid that this time it will not be so simple and good. ”

Du Shiyi smiled bitterly, and then strode back to the grass house. Seeing that Lu Hong, who was sitting in a daze on the main seat, didn't look at the various boxes of gifts piled up next to him, he knelt down in front of him, and said solemnly, "Master Lu has repeatedly resigned from the conscription, and it has been rumored to be a beautiful talk at home, but the disciple has the courage to ask, how many times has Master Lu resigned from the conscription?" ”

Before Lu Hong could answer, Lu Wangzhi, who came in behind Du Shiyi, replied on his behalf: "Not counting this time, it has been three times before and after." ”

"Yes, three times. Three times politely, but the sage did not think it was resentful, this time again made people hold the coin ceremony to call, spread the word, everyone will say that the sage is thirsty for talent, and Lu Shi is very likely to bear the name of arrogance. What's more, the wording of this call for books is not as good as before, and the situation in the DPRK and China is changing, and people in the mountains and wilderness may not be able to stand alone. Although Lu Shi is indifferent to fame and fortune, but as the edict and Li Linfu said, there is a great courtesy, and the righteousness of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished

Hearing a sound of footsteps behind her, Du Shiyi knew that Lu Wangzhi had also entered the house. When he looked up and saw Lu Hong's solemn expression, he took a deep breath and said word by word: "Moreover, at this moment, he has been called to the Eastern Capital to face the monarch, and Master Lu can resign in front of the emperor!" In this way, not only will the saint understand Master Lu's mind, but the people of the world will also understand Master Lu's personality. ”

Lu Hong thoughtfully rubbed the upper edge in front of him, which had already been extremely smooth, and nodded lightly: "Okay, then let's go." However, since you have already resigned that I had a golden needle obstacle removal last year and was sick again in winter, it is best to put it off for the time being, and it is best to delay it this year. Otherwise, now that the students from all walks of life in the cottage have returned, if they are allowed to run in vain, won't it delay their schoolwork? Hopefully, you will come with me when the time comes. As for the nineteen lang......"

"Please also ask Master Lu to allow me to accompany me at that time. Speaking of which, Thirteen Niang and I have not returned from our hometown for a long time, and I want to take her back to Chang'an by the way when I go to the Eastern Capital this time. ”
