Chapter 67 Self-recommendation
Although Lu Xilong was humiliated by Lu Xuan this time, it was not in vain.
After this incident, at least she was more convinced that the dissuasion of Rong Lily these days was quite reasonable.
Previously, Lu Xuan didn't care about the rumors about herself and Gu Huanli in Shengjing City, but now she seems to understand.
As long as the rumors exist, they will become a gimmick for all parts of the court and the branches of the court to target herself or make things difficult for her subordinates, and this matter cannot be ignored by her.
It's just that the best way to get rid of the rumors is to keep a distance from Gu Huanli, and it is not completely unpleasant that he has approached Lu Xuan step by step recently, and this matter may not be easy.
After thinking about it, only by constantly enriching one's wings with political achievements can it be possible to find another way out.
Coincidentally, at this time, the position of the county commander of Yuanshan County in Jiangnan was vacant, and Lu Xuan immediately found Chen Weizhi's self-recommendation when he heard it.
"Chen Langzhong, the first official involved in court politics, knew that his qualifications were still shallow, and when he heard that Yuanshan County in Jiangnan was recruiting county orders, he volunteered to go to the training, and hoped that Langzhong would be successful."
Lu Xuan's words were conclusive, saying that it was for the purpose of training, and he was not afraid of the hardships of poor counties.
Chen Weiyi agreed with his subordinates to get close to the grassroots and experience the people's livelihood, and when he saw Lu Xuan taking the initiative to ask for help, he was willing to agree.
"Since Lu Shuling Shi has this awareness, this official will ask the Holy Lord for your life tomorrow in the court."
Chen Weizhi agreed so quickly, and Lu Xuan was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you Chen Langzhong for your success." ”
It's just that Lu Xuan's whereabouts have never been up to her, and it is not something that Chen Weizhi can decide.
Lu Xuan was happy, but there was a resolute voice of opposition behind him: "This king disagrees." ”
will rob people in broad daylight, who else can there be besides the fierce king that everyone fears?
I thought that I would soon be able to quietly get rid of this living ancestor who had let myself fall into rumors, but I didn't think that I would be caught when I was coming.
Lu Xuan thought he was unlucky, and then turned back reluctantly: "Your Highness has seen Your Highness." ”
Gu Huanli didn't have a good face at this time, and he didn't have time to deal with Lu Xuan, so he looked at Chen Weizhi who was also saluting with a cold look.
"Chen Langzhong has a good means, first he sent this king's people to your household department, and now he wants to transfer her away, what, Chen Langzhong is determined to go against this king?"
This living Hades has taken out the previous way of treating people harshly, and Lu Xuan can't help but feel worried.
She was about to stand up and explain, but unexpectedly, Chen Weizhi opened her mouth first: "Lu Shuling Shiben is an official of my household department, when did he become a person of His Royal Highness?" ”
Lu Xuan almost suspected that Chen Weizhi had taken the wrong medicine, he was upright and not afraid of the powerful, and she had learned it more than once in her previous life.
But where are the people he is choking on right now who are ordinary magnates? I'm afraid that even Emperor Liang Qin wouldn't dare to do this to Gu Huanli in person.
Gu Huanli was silent, and only let a fierce aura wander around him, which made Lu Xuan shudder.
The four eyes clashed, and Chen Weizhi did not have the slightest intention of retreating.
Although Lu Xuan was inseparable from him in political affairs in his previous life, she never hated him as a person, and she would never be able to let Chen Weizhi kill herself like this.
The Living Yama King was patient and waited for no one, Lu Xuan immediately rushed to the middle of the two, and raised his eyes to look at Gu Huanli with a generous and righteous look: "It is my own choice to go south to become an official, and it has nothing to do with Chen Langzhong." ”
Lu Xuan thought he was clarifying the truth, but he didn't know that in Gu Huanli's eyes, it was adding fuel to the fire, and it was extremely hateful to defend other men so blatantly in front of him.
Therefore, this time, Gu Huanli's anger uncharacteristically increased with Lu Xuan's appearance.
"This king said, this king does not agree, without the permission of this king, you are not allowed to go anywhere!"
When he said this, Gu Huanli's face was full of anger, as if he wanted to devour Lu Xuan alive.
The two were so close that Lu Xuan could even intuitively feel the anger coming to his face.
Seeing this, the set of sage etiquette in Chen Wei's heart couldn't help but run out again, and the two "big men" were so deadlocked over a trivial matter, like a newlywed, it really made him look so unhappy.
The so-called out of sight is pure, Chen Weizhi simply turned his back.
Xu was reminded by Chen Weizhi's behavior, and Lu Xuan realized that the distance between himself and Gu Huanli had unconsciously exceeded the boundary, and hurriedly dodged a few steps back.
After being silent for a while, sorting out his thoughts, Lu Xuan said officially:
"His Royal Highness appreciates the lower officials, and the lower officials are grateful, but the lower officials study hard, because they want to win His Majesty's appreciation, the respect of their colleagues, and the love of the people with their own skills, rather than relying on His Highness's prestige."
Lu Xuan blurted out something that made the hearts of the two men present tremble.
Chen Weizhi probably finally realized how deep his previous misunderstanding of her was, and the other's mood was more complicated.
After a long time, Gu Huanli spoke: "Do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you in the court now?" Jiangnan is remote, this king is not around, what if there is an accident? ”
When he said this, the original anger on Gu Huanli's face had quietly receded, leaving his eyes full of worry.
Lu Xuan sneered: "It seems that His Royal Highness still hasn't been able to understand the words of the lower official, I am the eldest son of the Lu Mansion, and I am the foundation of the rise and fall of the Lu family, do I want to live under the protection of His Highness for the rest of my life?" ”
Hearing this, Gu Huanli was stunned for a moment, in fact, why was it difficult for him to protect the Lu family?
It's just that he has always only seemed to regard Lu Xuan as the delicate woman who disguised herself as a man and begged for her secrets, and he had long forgotten that she was still the only hope of the Lu family.
Hearing this, Gu Huanli realized that what Lu Xuan really needed was perhaps that he had always underestimated her.
After thinking about it carefully, Gu Huanli's face showed a light smile mixed with relief and helplessness, and he said, "Okay." ”
This time, it was Lu Xuan's turn to be stunned in place, and it took a long time to react: "Your Highness just said it, okay?" ”
She confirmed again, and Gu Huanli nodded solemnly: "Since you have made up your mind, this king will recommend it to Your Majesty together with Chen Langzhong tomorrow." ”
Confirming Gu Huanli's transformation, Lu Xuan was simply ecstatic.
For a while, he even forgot all about being an official, and leaned over with flattering words such as "Thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness's wisdom".
Although Gu Huanli was uncomfortable by Lu Xuan's abnormal attitude, he still couldn't help but laugh with a doting face.
The next morning.
After the ministers consulted and discussed important matters, Chen Weizhi stepped forward to start the performance according to the words promised to Lu Xuan yesterday.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the position of the county order of Yuanshan County, Jiangnan has been vacant for a long time, and I hereby recommend Shi Luxuan, the secretary of the household department, to take over this position and share your Majesty's worries."
Hearing this, Emperor Liang Qin subconsciously glanced behind him, and then looked at the front of the hall again: "What do you think Aiqing thinks?" ”
When he heard Lu Xuan's name from Chen Weizhi's mouth, everyone in the hall must have had a lot of complaints in their hearts.
It's just a lesson from the book order in the Ministry of Etiquette, who would dare to talk about the people he protected in front of the fierce king?
For a while, the civil and military officials, you look at me, I look at him, and no one has stepped forward to express his stance for a long time.
It wasn't until Gu Ningbei stepped forward by relying on the position of the East Palace and came up to reject Chen Wei's performance that no one in the court dared to talk in a low voice.
Gu Ningbei had repeatedly grasped the matter of Gu Huanli and Lu Xuan's "male fornication" before.
At this moment, I heard that Lu Xuan wanted to leave Beijing, and I couldn't help but worry that it was Gu Huanli's countermeasure, and naturally I couldn't let it succeed.
It's just that the crown prince is a member of the royal family after all, and it is really inappropriate to make a rash decision on this matter after listening to his words, so Emperor Liang Qin had to ask the opinions of hundreds of officials again.
Among the hundred officials, except for Chen Weizhi, they are all a group of timid and afraid people, and they didn't dare to talk about Lu Xuan's matter and offend Gu Huanli, but now the prince has come in and intervened.
If he opposes Lu Xuan's departure from Beijing, he may be mistaken for collusion with the crown prince; If you support it, what if the one in the church is reluctant? Isn't it a dead end?
On both sides of the left and right sides is a big crime of losing one's official position and losing one's life, which is simply embarrassing.
After a long time, seeing that no one in the court dared to speak, the man in purple behind the curtain spoke: "This king thinks what Chen Lang said is desirable. ”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and most of them didn't understand why Gu Huanli separated his "goodness" from Shengjing.
And Gu Ningbei, who had just suspected that something was wrong, became even more and more convinced that this was Gu Huanli's conspiracy.
But if Lu Xuan is targeted in full view of everyone, it will inevitably make the officials see that the prince is hostile to the fierce king, which may not be conducive to him to win over his henchmen.
After thinking about it, it was impossible to belittle it and praise it against his will, Gu Ningbei stepped forward and said: "Father, the son thinks that Lu Shuling is erudite and talented, and he is a rare person in our dynasty, and the post of county commander is really aggrieved. ”
The attitudes of the two ancestors have changed, which makes the civil and military officials scratch their heads.
The murderous king has always defended Lu Xuan before, why did he agree that she was demoted to Jiangnan this time? The prince has always been at odds with Lu Xuan, why is he full of praise for her now?
Suspicions suddenly filled the court, but Chen Weizhi ignored the difference between this faction, and only insisted on his own opinion.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lu Shuling's experience in history is the luck of the new officials of our dynasty, and such virtuous deeds should be encouraged." Chen Weizhi said.
Although the officials do not understand the hearts of the two "nobles", it seems that the right and left cards are the best of both worlds.
First, the prince "fancies" Lu Xuan, even if he opposes this matter for the sake of talent, Chen Weizhi has also given an explanation of experience, presumably he will not mind too much.
On the Fierce King's side, everyone thought that he would be reluctant to let Lu Xuan leave, but he had already expressed his position.
In this way, neither of the voters was offended.
As for the second, the previous incident between Lu Xuan and Gu Huanli really made hundreds of officials despised, if she left Shengjing, the two of them were separated by mountains and seas, and others could no longer endure those "immoral" trips, and seeing out of sight was pure.
After weighing it like this, everyone in the DPRK and China echoed Chen Weizhi's words in unison.
Gu Ningbei alone could not resist the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, so he had to obey the majority of the minority, and watched Emperor Liang Qin play.
