Chapter 354: Secret Fight (4)
Since Lu Mengzheng returned home, he has been frowning tightly, very puzzled by Zhao Guangyi's sudden appointment, and at the same time a little worried. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lu Yijian knocked on the door outside the study, then walked in and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?" ”
"The emperor asked me to recruit Zhao Gu, but Zhao Gu has already done it now, if the operation is good, I am afraid that there is a possibility of changing the world, he has always been a good person, I once caused Li Hao to murder him, almost killed him, I am worried that if I go to Zhending Mansion, Zhao Gu will be unfavorable to me." Lu Meng is righteous.
"Does the emperor think that he can still recruit Zhao Gu? Zhao Gu is so amazing, will he be willing to be subservient to others? Besides, even if he accepts Zhao'an, how should he and the emperor deal with themselves in the future? Lu Yijian frowned.
Lu Meng was thinking about it, and said, "The emperor shouldn't know this." ”
"Then why did he let his uncle go to Zhending Mansion? The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty only had an uncle and Zhao Gu who had a bad relationship, so he was not afraid that his uncle would be killed? Lu Yijian wondered.
Suddenly, Lu Mengzheng and Lu Yi Jian Qi turned their heads, glanced at each other, and said almost in unison: "The emperor just wants him to kill me (uncle)." ”
Lu Mengzheng nodded: "Yes, yes, Zhao Gu and I used to have a bad relationship, and Zhao Gu is a character who must be compared, the emperor just wants me to go to Zhending Mansion to die, and after I die, he will publicize my murder all over the world, and encourage my students to avenge me and win the hearts of scholars." ”
"How could the emperor come up with such a solution? This is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs! Lu Yijian sighed.
This year is the fifth year of Chunhua, Lu Yijian is also sixteen years old, the future prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty has gradually matured, and his wisdom far surpasses that of his peers.
"yes, kill the chicken and get the eggs." Lu Mengzheng sighed faintly, remembering the day he was the champion of high school, he met Zhao Guangyi, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, what a Lixian corporal Zhao Guangyi used to be, and he was even more caring for Lu Mengzheng, the thick and frugal archway in front of Lu Mansion was still inscribed by Zhao Guangyi himself, but why is it that now, he can ruthlessly use Lu Mengzheng's life to exchange for an impossible plan?
But why did Lu Mengzheng think that Zhao Guangyi's plan could not be realized? That is due to his observation and pondering of Zhao Gu for several years, in Lu Mengzheng's view, Zhao Gu can always take precautions when doing things, try to minimize his losses, if there is an emergency, he can always respond quickly and come up with the best solution, let me ask such a shrewd Zhao Gu, is Zhao Guangyi able to calculate?
Not to mention that Zhao Guangyi's plan can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, even if Zhao Gu can't see it, will he really offend the literati of the world for his own personal grudges?
Lu Mengzheng is still very confident in this point, he has been very concerned about the world's scholars since he was the champion of high school, holding hundreds of literary meetings, and his disciples are all over the world.
Moreover, Zhao Gu's previous experience with Lu Mengzheng's literary fight and the Great Competition of the Five Kingdoms had already spread his fame to the literary world, and his status in the literary world was not much lower than that of Lu Mengzheng, isn't this something that Zhao Gu had arranged a long time ago?
Since he knew the importance of literati, how could he kill Lu Mengzheng? I'm afraid that he will use Lu Mengzheng to achieve some other purposes.
Lu Mengzheng didn't have to think about it to know that he would definitely be fine if he went to Zhending Mansion, so that Zhao Guangyi could get his wish, on the contrary, Zhao Gu might still be looking forward to going by himself.
But he didn't want to report this matter to Zhao Guangyi, because doing so would be tantamount to saying that Zhao Guangyi was assassinating him, so even if he knew that this trip would fall into Zhao Gu's hands and make Zhao Guangyi's situation even more difficult, Lu Mengzheng had to go.
The two discussed for a while, but in the end they couldn't come up with any good way, Lu Mengzheng wanted to defend Zhao Guangyi from the bottom of his heart, but Luohua was ruthless, Zhao Guangyi was a dictator and couldn't listen to other people's opinions, plus Zhao Gu was too smart, so he could only do anything in vain.
Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Mengzheng embarked on the journey north and headed for Zhending Mansion.
And in Kaifeng City, an invisible battle for the heart of the scholar quietly began.
This war was presided over by Pan Lang, who had not shown up for a long time.
On the day when Lu Meng was leaving, Pan Lang sent invitations to the mountain chiefs of the major academies in Kaifeng City and the famous students, inviting everyone to come and appreciate an ancient painting.
Pan Lang had sold an ancient painting before, which was a well-known thing in the literati circle of Kaifeng City, and at this time I heard that he got an ancient painting again, and many people were itching and wanted to take a look at this ancient painting.
At noon on the same day, more than 1,000 people came to the place where Pan Lang exhibited ancient paintings, most of them were some famous Confucians and outstanding children of various colleges and universities, and some couldn't help but come to join in the fun, although they didn't get the invitation, but Pan Lang still welcomed them in.
After some polite praise, the exhibition officially began, and Pan Lang ordered someone to take out a deliberately full picture scroll from behind the screen, and then slowly opened it.
"Ahh It was actually an ancient painting painted by Tang Xuanzong Li Longji himself, and he also inscribed on it. As soon as the painting was opened, an old man with a gray beard and hair immediately exclaimed.
Others also looked over, only to see that this painting was indeed painted by Li Longji, although there was no Li Longji's masterpiece in later generations, but everyone knew that his literary skills were very profound, so it also showed the value of this painting more and more.
Although this painting cannot be compared, there is no doubt that the words inscribed on the painting are indeed Li Longji's handwriting, and he said that he made it himself, so it must not be wrong.
Being able to see Li Longji's paintings with his own eyes, whether they are old Confucians or young scholars, they are all a little excited, as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, and they can't wait to rub this painting into their eyes.
While looking at the paintings, everyone was talking about it, and some people even took out paper and pen to record the various characteristics of Li Longji's masterpieces, and prepared to survey and write a book.
The crowd was happily studying the painting when a voice rang out suddenly.
"When today's son is perverse, cruel to the loyal and good, false benevolence and false righteousness, so great joy, causing the Great Song Dynasty to smoke everywhere, the people are panicked, on the occasion of the country will not be a country, do you still have time to study paintings here? Is this what you read in the books of the sages? ”
