Chapter 805: This mountain, that faction, are all my people

Wang Lun's words obviously seemed to be referring to something, and Lu Jiang's heart suddenly jumped. The scene when Feng Xishen mysteriously advised him not to be strong was still vivid, and it made him instantly think of a demonic wind blowing from nowhere recently-it was rumored that he would overshadow Wen Huanzhang.

However, after experiencing the initial indignation, when he really calmed down and thought about it carefully, he found that these rumors were not so much demonic as the most suspicious part of his Lu Jiang, after all, there were many facts, in his own opinion, they were not fabricated.

Now, he, Lou Minzhong, Zu Shiyuan, and his party are known as the Six Sages of Jiangnan in the Liangshan Group, and Lu Jiang knows it well, after all, everyone in the world knows that these five benevolent brothers were recommended by him. If these five people do nothing and eat and wait for death, who knows that in just half a year, there is already a Taishou (Lou Minzhong), two general judgments (Zu Shiyuan, Shen Shou), and an "old" qualified county order plus a governor of the central capital.

Looking back, General Lu suddenly found that these prominent figures, together with himself, had hidden half of the entire Liangshanbo civil official group.

As soon as the outsiders settled, they made such a big move, which is actually very annoying. Fortunately, there is not much intersection between the military generals and civilian officials in Liangshan, and at present, their attention is on the battlefield, and the characters with the old qualifications of the cottage have not spoken much, after all, their attention is focused on the new vision opened up by Wang Lun for them: opening up the territory, and they have not taken care of it for a while, or disdain to pay attention to this undercurrent surging in the civilian official group.

Therefore, although the current situation is grim, it is fortunately not complicated.

However, at this time, although their six suspicions (xian) could not attract the attention of the military leaders who dominated the mainstream in Liangshan, they could not be bypassed by the civilian officials. At least, Feng Xi has some opinions about Chen Wenzhao and Tian Yi. When people reach their level, everything will be a slap in the face. If there is a real gap, it must be that both sides have some meaning to each other. And. Once people like them have formed an opinion, it cannot be explained clearly in a few words, and perhaps until the day of death, some knots that have formed intentionally or unintentionally may not be resolved.

In fact, if you want to talk about Chen Wenzhao and Tian Yi, no matter what their status was in the Great Song Dynasty in the past, they are newcomers like Liangshan. But the bad thing is that even the newcomers who went up the mountain two days earlier than them see them as "pleasing to the eye", so what about the other old people? Will there be a similar, if not more radical attitude towards their rapid surge?

When you think about it from the depths of this matter, things are no longer simpler.

Maybe it's because Wang Lun is a scholar. Liang Shanbo has always attached great importance to literati, Wen Huanzhang will not say it, the No. 2 person with the most solid foundation in the cottage, the head of the four major military divisions, like Lin and Lu, are also well-behaved in front of him.

What I want to say here is that in addition to Wen Huanzhang, there is another character in the cottage that must not be ignored, that is, Xiao Rang, a holy hand scholar who has just clarified his status as a Taishou not long ago. This man was born and raised in Liangshan. A civil official with pure blood, he has always been a reserve talent that Wang Lun has tried his best to cultivate, and although he is now on Jeju Island, his influence on the capital must not be underestimated. If only he had an opinion in his heart. Lu Jiangzhen didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at this time.

Fortunately, at this moment, there is another person in front of General Lu to help him relieve a lot of pressure, and the hatred that Wang Lun values is a detachment, and his background is destined for him to have a natural affinity with court officials like Chen Wenzhao and Zhang Xiaochun. Not only did Wang Lun, who single-handedly excavated him, value him very much, but Wen Huanzhang, a civil official in Liangshan, also cared about him as a nephew, and he could be said to be the first celebrity in the civil official department of Liangshan.

Merely. If it is involved in the persuasion work of more than 100 students of Tokyo Taixue, Qiu Yi, a celebrity, will not be in the limelight, but I am afraid that he will not be able to do it in the future.

To be honest, Lu Jiang is not an ambitious person, but it does not mean that he has no vision, on the contrary, he has always had a broad vision and precise vision in the general direction.

These more than 100 students, almost all of them are the same as their former selves, sitting on the cold bench on the edge of officialdom, and at this time there is a great opportunity to realize their ambitions in front of them, and it is really not difficult for him, a senior brother with a successful career, to come forward to persuade them. However, things are often not as simple as they seem, and the pressure on him increases for every one he wins. Maybe at some point of demarcation, it will completely crush him.

After all, if five old acquaintances are brought in, it is rumored that they want to fight against Wen Huanzhang, if another hundred and eighty civil official seeds are brought in, wouldn't they make a farce of overthrowing Wang Lun?

In good conscience, Lu Jiang sincerely hopes that Liangshan will be strong and realize his life ambitions here, but he really didn't expect this water and soil to be so nurturing, and he hasn't come back to his senses yet, he has grown into a towering tree, blocking the sunlight of many people, it seems that Xiao Su's original troubles he has now, and the height is too cold!

Wang Lun didn't mean to urge. After discovering that Lu Jiang had entered a meditative state, he knew that the right-hand man in front of him was in a situation where heaven and man were at war. After an embarrassing silence, Wang Lun felt that it was time for him to make a confession to General Lu, only to see him take a sip of Sun Ding's strong tea, cover the teacup and say, "Do you think, in the Great Song Dynasty, who is the most powerful?" ”

Wang Lun coldly threw out this topic, Lu Jiang and Qiu Yi were a little surprised, as if they noticed the heaviness that shrouded Lu Jiang's body, Qiu Wei opened his mouth first: "Under the official family, I'm afraid it's Cai Jing!" ”

Wang Lun nodded at Qiu Xi, and looked at General Lu with a smile, and General Lu had to speak: "Xiaosheng also thinks it's Cai Jing!" ”

"You're all wrong!" Wang Lun smiled, looked at the two people who were ready to listen, and said, "It's obviously the great Sicheng (principal) of Taixue!" You think, the official family has canceled the imperial examination, and seven or eight out of ten Wenchen are from Taixue, according to some outside sayings, shouldn't it be Da Si Cheng who controls the government now? ”

Qiu Yi laughed when he heard it, and said straightly, "The lord is funny!" But his eyes fell on Lu Jiang, it turned out that the lord was going around, or to untie the knot in the heart of the benevolent brother beside him!

Sure enough, after the initial surprise, Lu Jiang's breathing gradually became short, Wang Lun's words were aimed at the concerns in his heart, how could he not feel it? Lu Jiang felt that a closed door of his heart was gently opened by an external force, since these taboo lords didn't care, no matter how he behaved, wouldn't he fall into the bottom? At this time, he couldn't help but secretly regret and said: "General Lu, General Lu, the career you have been looking forward to has not yet begun." Do you already want to protect yourself? ”

In an instant, Lu Jiang's face showed a trace of shame, and it didn't take long for him to get up solemnly and say, "Lord, leave this matter to Xiaosheng!" ”

"I'll leave this matter to you, what else should I worry about?" Wang Lun smiled and stretched out his hand to beckon General Lu to sit down. This person is really loyal and courageous, if it is replaced by a more selfish person, you will beat the drum, and he will not have the slightest reaction. It's still Lu Jiang, you don't need a hammer to ring the drum.

Wang Lun simply wanted General Lu to unload the burden, and immediately asked for advice in a consultative tone: "The bamboo pole of the imperial court, knock once and one less time, maybe when the brand of the Goryeo Kingdom will not be able to fight." This time, more than 100 students have solved our urgent needs, but what will we do in the future? What I mean, if Liangshan wants to develop, in the end, we have to rely on our own blood! Isn't it time for the imperial examination to be put on the agenda? ”

Qiu Yi said that his eyes suddenly lit up. This can be regarded as a thorough and profound understanding of Wang Lun's cleverness, in fact, the related matters of the imperial examination have been in full swing for a long time, as long as the imperial examination is opened, talents from all over the world will pour into Liangshan. It instantly changed the status quo of the current dominance of the Liangshan civil official group, which is of course a fatal blow for careerists, but for loyal ministers and righteous people in the true sense. Isn't that a relief?

As for what role General Lu has in Wang Lun's heart, it is already obvious at this time: the lord chose to say it in front of General Lu at this time. The fool can also see that Wang Lun actually affirmed General Lu and helped him relieve his pressure!

Sure enough, Qiu Wei found that Lu Jiang's demeanor at this moment was already slightly different from just now, if Lu Jiang was moved before the lord threw out this topic, then now his eyes already contained gratitude.

In the end, it is the male lord who cleans up the heroes of the three mountains and five mountains! I'm afraid that no matter where Lu Jiang goes in the future, he will always remember today's scene. Whether it is gratitude or shock, it depends on his own quality.

Limited to congenital reasons, Qiu Yi is definitely not as long-term as Wang Lun's vision, but with his feelings, Lu Jiang still can't get rid of the category of good ministers, at this time, seeing that this person is so grateful that he can't speak, Qiu Wei has no choice but to put forward some opinions on the matter: "Lord, we have a lot of immigrants now, but there are not many people who really read the book, so eagerly opened the imperial examination, is it a bit hasty?" ”

"It's really a bit hasty, but how can it be effective to train a scholar without ten or eight years? Even now, we are now popularizing county schools in all counties, and it is too late in time. However, I always believe that reading books can indeed lead to insight, but people who have insight may not have read all books. Calmly, the world is insightful, and the knowledge and human feelings are practiced as articles! I don't believe that among these hundreds of thousands of immigrants, there is a lack of people who understand! Wang Lun waved his hand and continued:

"It doesn't matter if you don't read much, or even if you can't read, you can make up for it in the future! In the previous editions of the imperial examination, we lowered the requirements that the written examination could not reflect a person's ability, so we could add another interview! In short, talented people, try to invite them into our mechanism, if you let these people complain, it will be a rebellion against us! ”

Qiu Yi laughed, even Lu Jiang laughed, the two of them couldn't help but laugh, after all, Wang Lun was making fun of himself! The official family obviously omitted him, a sage in the opposition, and I don't know how many people in the court have repented of their intestines for this matter.

"The lord thinks so far, then the lower official has nothing to add!" Qiu Wei laughed. Lu Jiang, who had adjusted his mentality, also said loudly at this time: "Ye Wuxian, the lord wants to take Tang Taizong as an example!" No matter what, Xiaosheng will always follow in the footsteps of the lord! ”

"You can't just talk and not practice, the details have to be drawn up by you and Mr. Wen in the end, it's not rumored that I'm the shopkeeper outside, I really can't worry about this kind of trivial matter!" As soon as Wang Lun's voice fell, the three of them looked at each other and laughed, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became relaxed and bright, as if indicating the bright and beautiful future of Liangshanbo.

Coincidentally, at the same time that Liangshan Bo Zhengtong was prosperous, the Great Song Dynasty, thousands of miles away, also had an old "friend" of Wang Lun, who also ushered in the peak of his life. (To be continued......)
