The Liyang temple of the virtuous court set off an uproar, and it came so quickly that all the palace scholars and the six Shangshu servants were dumbfounded, and Zhang Julu, the first assistant of this dynasty, was still determined to mobilize Gu Jiantang, who was the commander-in-chief of the military and political affairs of the northern region, to move the sharpest famous knife of the empire to the neck of Xichu, and cut the mess with a quick knife, instead of the previously established town of Beiguan, if only so, no one in the court dared to question it loudly, these only Zhang Lu can bite almost anyone to death, fortunately, Zhang Shoufu has always rarely deliberately targeted anyone, but as long as Zhang Julu holds this chess piece, even if he never falls, no one in the court dares to be unscrupulous. It's a pity that at the end of the spring of the first year of Xiangfu, even if the words are all in the hands of Zhang Julu, even if the temple is extremely deep to the point of being invincible for more than ten years, Lord Shoufu finally ushered in the first defeat, without it, because this time his opponent is Tan Tanong, and there is a cadre of ministers behind the old man Huan, there is Zhao Youling, the head of the Ministry of Officials, Zhao Youling, the head of the Ministry of Officials, Yin Maochun, the recognized prime minister, and even the new Shangshu Yuanyu of the Ministry of Rites, as well as a large group of veteran generals led by Zhao Kui, the general who has not yet led the Southern Expedition to Western Chu, and the royal family of the side branch who has been suppressed by Biyaner for more than ten years, the strange thing is that these people did not have any agreement in advance, after Huan Wen pointed the finger at Lord Shoufu very clearly, one after another, they all think that the strategy of "looking north and south with us" is too reckless, and a Western Chu who has returned to the light is far from enough to be compared with the millions of people who control the strings in Beimang. That day's court meeting, the undercurrent was turbulent, except for Wang Xionggui, the head of the household, who stood on the side of the teacher without any suspense, almost everyone chose a timid silence, and did not dare to get involved in the most treacherous fairy fight since the first year of Yonghui, the reason why it is said is almost, because in addition to Wang Xionggui, there is also a Jin Lanting who has been very proud of the spring breeze recently, and unexpectedly followed Wang Xionggui to speak for Zhang Shoufu.

People who have a heart have seen that after the retreat from the dynasty, Tan Tan Weng did not squint, and directly passed by Lord Shoufu, and the depressed Wang Xionggui followed behind the indifferent Yonghui master, but never took the initiative to approach the first assistant's Jin right sacrificial wine, and walked firmly on Zhang Julu's side, today's ups and downs of the court, so that the onlookers were both dizzy and inexplicable, when retreating from the dynasty, it was only heard that the pearl jade percussion, did not hear a word of talk and whispering, it was a strange scene that was only seen in the twenty years of the Yang Dynasty. Zhang Julu slowly walked down the white jade steps, didn't look at the frowning young right sacrificial wine beside him, and laughed softly: "Jin Saburo, I'm afraid you are going to make the wrong bet this time." ”

Jin Lanting, who had a beard and a clear ambition, shook his head and said: "Later life is not a risky bet, deliberately making enemies of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, so as to curry favor with Lord Shoufu. It's just that the big husband should do something, that's all. ”

Zhang Julu smiled, slowed down his steps, and said straight to the point: "At the beginning, I intended to pull you into Zhang Lu, and then control the rhetoric for me, but later, since Your Majesty is impressed with you, I, as a courtier, do not want to take away the beauty of the monarch." ”

I don't want to, I can't.

The wall still has ears, not to mention that this has not yet left the palace, and there is no shortage of slow-moving civil and military officials not far from the two of them.

Zhang Julu said flatly: "Throughout the disputes between gentlemen and villains in the past dynasties, most of the courtiers with the reputation of gentlemen lost very badly during their lifetimes, and at most they were posthumously presented by the next emperor after their deaths. The more you care about the common people, the more you need gentlemen and friends, and you need a smart vicious dog among your colleagues, who can bark and bite, rather than a group of people who are there with a clean breeze on their sleeves, and will only be angry in the book business, and in the end it is nothing more than on the way to exile and degrade, making a few lonely grave poems that make future generations of readers full of tears, which is quite boring. ”

Jin Lanting smacked his touch and laughed at himself: "It is difficult to escape the trap in the later life. ”

Zhang Julu turned around and patted Wang Xionggui on the shoulder, "I shouldn't be on duty today, you go to Zhang Lu to sit there, and a colleague asks, but you only respond with the word "I don't know." ”

Wang Xionggui nodded and left quickly.

The purple-haired and blue-eyed man who held the authority of the dynasty walked slowly with Jin Lanting, and crossed the threshold of the palace together, Zhang Julu suddenly smiled: "The first time I saw you, it reminded me of my situation back then, and I was as at a loss as you was, and I was wronged in every way. But to be honest, you are still much worse than I was back then, so you are better at making rice paper than me. ”

Jin Lanting smiled knowingly, "There is one thing that makes Lord Shoufu willing to admit defeat and put it into words, it is enough." ”

Jin Lanting wanted to speak and stopped, Zhang Julu said indifferently: "Are you wondering why that old guy is fighting in the same room?"

Let Jin Lanting be the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, a celebrity around His Royal Highness the Prince, and his future is destined to be splendid, this right sacrificial wine lord did not dare to say a word at this time, and even dared not speculate.

Zhang Julu said: "Huan Wen and I have a scale in our hearts, and we have never had any contempt for the restoration of Western Chu, but the two ends of a scale are light, there have been some differences over the years, I am more important than Beimang, and he is more important than Ximang, he has his plan and vision, he insists on using Beiliang to consume Beimang's national strength, for fear that once Gu Jiantang goes south, at this time, he has already made up his mind to swallow Beiliang first and then beat Beimang, who is out of Yang, to change course, mistakenly thinking that there is an opportunity, and when the time comes, it will spread from Beiguan to this Tai'an City under our feet, all of which are full of wolf smoke. ”

Zhang Julu pointed to the guide, "The old guy not only saw the north, in addition to the stubborn Beiliang, Tan Tanweng also saw the Yan Dao that seemed to be 'indecisive', as well as those who could not withstand the spring breeze of the Spring and Autumn Dead Country, his concerns are naturally understandable." I am afraid that Western Chu will become a quagmire, leading the Spring and Autumn Period to resurge, and he is afraid that Beimang will go south from the eastern front, causing the whole world to be a quagmire. Me and him are a real gamble. These things, even if you stand in the center of the dynasty, you can't see them. Because of the court, everyone has their own plans, the warriors want to worship the marquis before their death, and the literati want to accompany Zhang Shengmiao after death. The reason why I am complaining to you is that you Jin Lanting is rare to be confused and interesting, after all, it is not uncommon to be scolded by the old man Huan, and it is very rare to be beaten. ”

Jin Lanting subconsciously touched the cheek that had been slapped by Tan Tanong, and quickly retracted it like a hot hand.

Zhang Julu said softly: "You and I will come here." ”

Jin Lanting stopped in his tracks, only to hear Lord Shoufu leave a sentence, "In the future, there will be more new Shangshu exchanges." ”

Jin Lanting was stunned, is the new Shangshu the Yuan of the Ministry of Rites, or Lu Baijie of the Ministry of War?

Or is it both?

Coincidentally, today's retreat from the dynasty, these two walked together, the two of them are young and middle-aged pillars of the temple full of frost white, there are many similarities and common language, different backgrounds, but they are both first-class romantic figures from Yang, Lu Baijie is the Tangxi Sword Immortal on Jiangnan Road, Yuan Yu is a famous person who can be called a brother and brother with anyone, the two of them are not serious about winning or losing, and they are very light on many things that others regard as precious, and they have an excellent reputation in the government and the opposition, there are no enemies, and there is no obvious mountain faction, and they have both been the guests of Tantanong, and they have also been scolded by Tantanong。 He has been sage, has entered Shuanglu, and has been scolded by Huan Wen. The three major steps that the Liyang Imperial Court must take to become a powerful minister, these two Shangshu have obviously gone through. The two retired to the "Zhao family hero urn" outside the palace , Lu Baijie did not immediately return to the unusually busy military department, but followed Yuan Yu to the Ministry of Rites with a very different atmosphere from the Ministry of War, in the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites where scholars and celebrities gathered, seeing the boss of the top boss, Lord Shangshu, dared to laugh a few words, because when Yuan Yu, the old wine worm and the new official, took office, he carried a big box, but it was not a book, but more than 20 bottles of Jiannan Spring Brew previously given by His Majesty the Emperor, and the result was a collision with His Majesty who came to the official residence of the Ministry of Rites, and then His Majesty began to drink wine with the ministers on his own initiative, and the monarchs and ministers sat at will, slightly drunk, and did not forget to sprinkle salt on the wound of the heartbroken Yuan Shangshu, smiled and said I took the initiative to help you get the relationship between the ministers, don't be grateful, remember to go back and get the Yulu, buy a few pots of good wine and send it to the palace.

Now the whole Ministry of Rites began to wrench their fingers to calculate when they would receive the money, and jokingly asked Lord Shangshu if he needed the help of the officials to make some money. Today, I saw the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War, if it was General Gu Jiantang, it would naturally be numb in the scalp, if it was Chen Zhibao, he would have to retreat, but since it was the suave Tangxi Sword Immortal, he greeted Yuan Shangshu with a smile and sat for a while, anyway, as long as the Ministry of Rites does not encounter important festivals and Jiaqing ceremonies, it is the most clear soup and water in the six departments to spend the day leisurely, and it is really a blessing for everyone to stand on Yuan Yu such a lenient and lenient Lord Shangshu, it is really a blessing for everyone, it is because of Yuan Yu's entry into the Ministry of Rites, in the past, many officials of the five departments of the Ministry of Squint-eyed Rites, whether they came to visit the door, or the Ministry of Rites went to ask for help, the other party's face was a little more polite。 Anyway, for all the celebrities in the Ministry of Rites, it is enough to give such a thin noodle.

When he walked near the door, Yuan Shangshu smiled, hurriedly entered the room, bent down and picked up a book, which made way for him to rest on a chair that was already crumbling and not falling, which shows that practice makes perfect, and probably the study of Yuan Yu's mansion is also such a messy scene. Yuan Yu finally moved the books on the chair in front of the bookcase, Lu Baijie waved his hand and smiled: "Don't sit, just a chair, I'm sitting, isn't it a dove occupying the magpie's nest, you Yuan Shangshu is not afraid of being made fun of, and I am afraid that the Ministry of War is suppressing the Ministry of Rites." ”

Yuan Yu Ha said with a smile: "It's not a day or two since the Ministry of War bullied the Ministry of Rites, Lord Lu, don't be cheap." ”

Lu Baijie said bluntly: "Don't come to this set, in the past, the Ministry of War treated the other five departments equally, and they all bullied, anyway, they didn't suffer from widowhood and unevenness, so I don't know who is good." ”

Yuan Yu touched his reddish rosacea nose, "I didn't care before, but in the future, if the military department dares to the guy and come to the Ministry of Rites to scare people, I will dare to go to the military department shrew to scold the street." ”

Lu Baijie was noncommittal, looked around, and sighed with some emotion. Lu Baijie was born in the Lu family of Luzhou, which has the reputation of "dazzling", and his brother Lu Daolin withdrew from the Guozijian to blame, and became a blessing in disguise, and became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, it is the previous owner of this house, Lu Baijie first entered the capital, came once, and today is the second time. Lu Baijie has a very good relationship with his brother, and it can even be said that most of the reason why Lu Daolin, who is like a father, left the temple and retired to the mountains and forests is to make room for his younger brother, otherwise the two brothers will have two Shangshu in one day, and a few gate valves in Luzhou will be anxious not to mention, and there will be criticism here in the capital. When Lu Baijie was in the wilderness, he lived in the retreat garden for a long time, and Lu Daolin "regressed" twice, and he gave his younger brother a lot of incense that can only be understood and cannot be spoken, which is the knowledge rarely taught in the books of sages. Yuan Yu patted his head and feigned anger: "Okay, you Tangxi Sword Immortal, it turns out that the previous dove occupied the magpie's nest, in the final analysis, scolded me for robbing Mr. Lu's house?"

Lu Baijie didn't refute, and asked with a smile: "Wine, where is it hidden?"

Yuan Yu glared, "It's long gone!"

Lu Baijie smiled playfully: "When the name of my Tangxi Sword Immortal is blown out of nonsense, even if I don't practice swords, I won't be able to smell this bit of wine?"

Yuan Yu spread his hands, "It's really gone." ”

Lu Baijie walked to the corner of the wall, opened a pile of books, picked up a pot of wine, and shook it. Yuan Yu smiled dryly and hurriedly took out two wine glasses hidden under the desk, wiped them with his sleeves, one for each person, for fear that Tangxi Sword Immortal would just take the wine away like this, and muttered: "I'm not afraid of drinking and making mistakes, if I delay Lord Lu's military department, I can't afford to be guilty." However, it was just a flash of inspiration, Lord Lu's swordsmanship is outstanding, and the amount of wine must not be bad, it should be no problem to drink a glass or two of wine, come on, let's have a drink, drink, drink. ”

Lu Baijie sat straightforwardly on the ground, Yuan Yu put a stack of books under his buttocks, the former drank all the wine in his glass, and the latter squinted his eyes and drank slowly.

Lu Baijie smiled and said, "Let's talk something drunk?"

Yuan Yu glanced at the door of the house, perhaps remembering that Lu Shangshu was an outstanding martial arts master, so he withdrew his gaze and nodded.

On the way to Lu, some of them understood, and some of them still didn't understand. ”

"You and I will forget when we get up, and we won't pass on the drunken words of six ears?"

"Drunken talk. ”

"The Ministry of War has mastered many secrets that the five departments can't know, Lu Baijie, it's not difficult for you to understand the differences between Lord Shoufu and Old Man Huan, the two brothers of the same sect. I don't understand why Old Man Huan didn't discuss it in the study of any of the mansions on both sides, and why did he openly confront each other in the temple, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"The reason why I don't understand it is because you also know that many people mistakenly think that today's court meeting seems to show a sign, the Yonghui year has been more than 20 years, except for His Majesty, no one is in the eyes of Lord Shoufu, and finally in the first year of Xiangfu, it has quickly gone downhill. However, this is an absurd illusion, and you and I know it. Zhang Lu has self-destructed the courtyard wall for so many years, abandoning Zhao Youling, who is the most knowledgeable Yonghui, and abandoning Han Lin, who is old and serious, of course, I don't want to make progress and achieve nothing, so naturally I was thrown away early, and in the end I only supported Wang Xionggui, who didn't seem to have the qualifications of slaughtering auxiliary instruments, and even the Hanlin Academy was swept out of the house, and gave alms to Yin Maochun, what is it for? What is Lord Shoufu thinking? It's very simple, in the Liyang Imperial Court, Zhang Shoufu never felt that anyone was his political enemy, as long as he stood in the court, there was a poem that said well, I don't speak first in the spring, which insect dares to speak out? After that, if this person dies first and Zhang Shoufu dies later, then there will be no one. ”

"Understood. ”

There was silence in the room.

Yuan Yu's eyes were faintly teary, so he simply picked up the wine jug and poured a sip of wine, and asked, "Do you really understand?"

Yuan Yu asked himself, "You don't understand!"

Lu Baijie sighed, didn't say a word, got up and left, and helped cover the door.

Yuan Yu, who sat alone in the room, cried and laughed, and Lord Shangshu, who didn't drink much, was actually drunk and out of shape, "You don't understand, Yuan Yu's teacher, our Lord Shoufu, once the war in Western Chu was lost, the Shoufu with his eyes like a torch won face, but he completely lost the temple, when His Majesty, the emperor, who is known for his generosity, will no longer tolerate it, it is Lord Shoufu who really began to twilight in the West Mountain, so today's court meeting, he is seeking a way out for the old man Huan, and forcing himself to a dead end!"

Yuan Yu fell backwards, and the Book of Rites, who cherished wine like his life, threw away the wine jug and cried silently, "My generation of scholars, why are you afraid of death, but why did you die in such a miserable way?"

————

Zhang Julu deliberately let himself have nothing to do and didn't think about things today, so he had the opportunity to go to a time-honored restaurant that he had been excited about for a long time, and drank a small half pot of aged old wine, but it didn't seem to be as delicious as Huan Wen said. Because he didn't take off his court clothes, Lord Shoufu came, so that the restaurant was both full of light and trembling, looking at Lord Shoufu from afar, as long as the chopsticks in the old man's hand were slightly slower, he seemed to feel that he was about to be pulled out of the house to cut off his head. It is really Lord Shoufu who has never appeared in the public in the capital, unlike other palace ministers and six leaders, each has their own temperament and hobbies, and finally has a quiet place to go, but Zhang Shoufu is different, and he will always only appear in the two places of Shang Shuling's mansion and the palace. So this news spread at an alarming speed, but no good person dared to run to join in the fun even if he got the exact gossip, this is probably the real horror of Zhang Julu. The first son of the capital, Wang Xionggui's youngest son Wang Yuanran, claims to be a man who openly argues with His Royal Highness the Prince of Beiliang, and has been fortunate to follow his father to Zhangfu to pay New Year's greetings once since he was a teenager, but he was indifferently glanced at by Lord Shoufu, and he didn't go to Zhangfu after that. The great general Zhao Kui and Yang Shenxing, who made contributions in the Spring and Autumn Period, their descendants are the most noble generals in Liyang, and they have not seen the head of the hundred officials in the past twenty or thirty years. Even if it was Zhao Wu, the most promising prince in the past, he provoked the baby daughter of Lord Shoufu, and he still couldn't eat and walked around, without Zhang Julu saying a word. The prince who is upright and young is still like this, and the royal relatives who are estranged from the current son, who were originally suppressed to death by Zhang Julu when he first took power, have always dared to be angry and dare not speak.

This is very easy to really age, but it always makes people forget their age, he is not greedy for money, he is not good for beauty, he does not like delicacies, he does not talk about pure talk, he does not worship Buddhism, he does not pass on poetry, all people with a heart are waiting for him to make mistakes, but he does not.

He just went back and forth to the palace day after day, year after year, boring and flawless. For twenty years, no one can be called one man below ten thousand people.

Zhang Julu raised his head, put down his chopsticks, and saw a familiar and beautiful face, she was sitting across the table, holding her cheeks, and she was smiling like her mother when she was young.

Lord Shoufu laughed softly: "My drinking, have you alarmed Zhang Daxia?"

Zhang Gaoxia still held his cheeks with both hands and blinked.

Zhang Julu said with a smile: "Let's say, in addition to seeing my father, if there is anything else to ask my father, this time I will make an exception and agree first." ”

Zhang Gaoxia grinned and said: "The little sister-in-law just complained to me, saying that the second brother ran out of the city in the spring of this year, and went out of the city to borrow money and drink flowers and wine from others in three days, not to mention, and the idea of taking a concubine, the concubine is just that, the woman is still a woman in the Qinglou, and the little sister-in-law can't persuade the third brother who is stubborn, so she has to pull me into her camp." I went to see the woman secretly, it doesn't matter if the green building is not a green building, but the water-based poplar is real. Dad, aren't you afraid of humiliating your family?"

Zhang Julu frowned.

Zhang Gaoxia raised his voice, "Dad, you promised your daughter." ”

Zhang Julu frowned and nodded.

Zhang Gaoxia, who originally didn't have any expectations, widened his eyes, but even more unbelievable things were still to come, and it was Lord Shoufu's father who was at home and Lord Shoufu, and he actually said, "Go to your third brother's mansion to have a look." ”

Zhang Gaoxia was overjoyed, to know that the father of the four of their brothers and sisters really didn't look like a father at all, except for her daughter, the three brothers were already married, and Zhang Julu never showed up, no matter whether the three sons of Lord Shoufu were out of trouble or caused trouble, they never cared, and the whole capital laughed at the three children who were obviously born in Xuanhe but had no support, most of them were children picked up on the road. Zhang Gaoxia's third brother is Zhang Shoufu's youngest son, who is idle, no one is willing to take this coward to play, he often carries a pigeon whistle with him, and wanders around Tai'an City. The eldest brother has finally entered the official career, although the climb is slow, he can barely be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business, the second brother is a genuine nerd, but it is okay, the third brother Zhang Bianguan can be said to be not a person inside and outside, and he is the worst, and he is not treated by Shoufu's father at home, and the big gentlemen in the capital disdain to be friends with him in wine and meat. Zhang Gaoxia knows better than anyone that the three elder brothers, in their hearts, hope that this taciturn father can look at them squarely, and do not expect any praise, but even if it is a scolding.

Zhang Julu walked out of the restaurant, suddenly "untrustworthy", and said: "Don't go." ”

Zhang Gaoxia had a bitter face, pitiful.

Zhang Julu said with a smile: "Although I don't go, but you bring a message to the border pass, relying on his eldest brother and second brother's little money every day, it's not a thing, doesn't he want to join the army, my father told Gu Jiantang and asked him to go to Liaodong." Also, there are no idlers at home, you ambitious girl, go out to Beijing to play, as for where to go, wherever you go, whatever you want, don't write to your father to ask for silver. ”

Zhang Gaoxia's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Really?"

Zhang Julu nodded lightly.

Zhang Gaoxia said coldly, "Dad, you're not sick, are you? Uncle Huan made you angry today? Daughter, I'll find you a place to get back, see if I don't eat and drink poor in Huan's mansion!"

Shousuke-sama laughed softly, "Out of breath!"

Then he added: "I said in advance, I can go anywhere from Yang, the first one to go to Beiliang Road, the second to Yanyi Road, and the third to Guangling Road." ”

Zhang Gaoxia sighed, wrenched his finger and said: "The fourth one in Jiangnan Province can't go, and the fifth one in Liangliao can't go......"

She counted all the ways of Liyang in one go, and said with a smile: "Then I'll stay at home and eat and drink for the rest of my life and never get married, anyway, I can't go anywhere." ”

Zhang Julu took the reins of the horse from the shopkeeper of the restaurant who was walking on thin ice, handed it to his daughter, and said with a smile: "Don't talk to your father, hurry up and report the good news to your sister-in-law." ”

Zhang Gaoxia grimaced, turned over his horse, and rode away.

Zhang Julu stood in place, where did the shopkeeper dare to care that Lord Shoufu forgot to pay the bill, and when Lord Shoufu was there, no one dared to come to find death, but the shopkeeper dared to guarantee that tomorrow the restaurant would not be a place to sit, and there would be no place to stand.

The shopkeeper had quietly turned around, but was softly shouted by Lord Shousuke, and the shopkeeper's face stiffened and turned around, helpless.

Zhang Julu smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, don't mind if you eat and drink for nothing." ”

The shopkeeper shook his head vigorously and didn't say a word.

Zhang Julu walked to the heavily guarded carriage, and said to himself in a voice that only he heard: "The food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, the two do not owe each other." I, Zhang Julu, am the most embarrassed and ask the people of the world for nothing more than a pot of wine to drink, isn't it?"

————

The government and the opposition all stared at the vassal king Jing Nan this time, which one sent the first troops, which one sent the most troops, whose soldiers and horses were the most majestic, and whose men and horses were the most old and weak soldiers, all of whom were talked about by the market and alleys. Among the major vassal kings, Zhao Sui, the king of Jiaodong, was ordered by the imperial court not to move, and honestly stared at the border passes, which is nothing worth talking about by the common people. Zhao Yi, the king of Guangling, was originally a person in the bureau, and the restoration of Western Chu took place in the territory under his jurisdiction, and there was not much room for imagination. Zhao Ying, the king of Huainan, who has always been the weakest and rumored to be crazy, sent 6,000 troops and poured out, which is impressive. Yan Yidao was the first to send troops, but this vassal king Zhao Bing, who was only subordinate to the old Liang King, actually only let His Royal Highness Zhao Zhu lead a thousand horses to Guangling Road, not to mention going all the way north, passing through the state, chickens flying and dogs jumping, which can best make the streets and alleys of Liyang chat a few words. Zhao Xun, the young king of Jing'an, was the latest to send troops, and the number of troops is unknown for the time being. As for Chen Zhibao, the previous secretary of the military department of the feudal king in Xishu, there was no movement, whether the court was afraid that he would have nothing to do with others if he went to Xichu, or the white-clothed soldier immortal did not bother to lead the troops at all, except for the military boss in Tai'an City, I am afraid that no one will know. No one on Liyang's side thought that the new Liang King, who was younger than Zhao Xun, would be so kind, and they all guessed that Beiliang was gloating, and it would be Liyang's luck if he didn't fall into the well.

The horse's hooves moved, the bowstring sounded, and the gold was ten thousand taels.

On the border of Qingzhou, the soldiers and horses slowly advanced to the northeast, and there was a conspicuous horse stopping by the river, leading the horse to stand, this young rider was wearing a bright yellow python robe, as far as the python water was concerned, it was even half a rank higher than Zhao Yi, the king of Guangling. He smiled at a young and handsome scholar beside him: "Mr. Lu finally helped me save that little money, such a trouble, I came and went in a hurry, I feel distressed." ”

The scholar with his eyes closed smiled and said: "As a weak guest, when you come to visit, you must have enough courtesy, eat well, eat well, and eat better, but you can eat more." Otherwise, the powerful master will simply not let you move the chopsticks on the table next time. ”

It was Zhao Xun of this generation of King Jing'an who nodded and said: "It's a very simple truth, but even if you understand it, you will inevitably be a little depressed." ”

The blind man Lu Xu smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Xun played a scoundrel and said: "The movement in the capital is so big, Xiao Liu'er, you have to think hard to think about it, it's good news, you just hurry up and tell me, it's bad news, just when I didn't ask, what's the matter?"

Lu Xu, who had always been a scribe and a green shirt retreating into the background, hesitated, bit his lip, and said with a solemn face: "For Qingzhou and Jing'an Palace, it may be a mixed bag. ”

Zhao Xun asked curiously, "What's the solution?"

Lu Xu said softly: "Lord Shoufu deliberately exposed his flaws, he was sitting in the palace fishing, no accident, and then the killer skills he had accumulated over the years had to be borrowed from the Yanguan's pen and knife to kill people step by step, and there happened to be a big comment presided over by Yin Maochun, and many people would definitely die." The Qing Party Lu Feiqi died, the Qing Party collapsed, and he was able to get away with his tail and be a man, but he was able to get away with this turmoil, and after the turmoil, someone had to do things, and the Qing Party was expected to make a comeback. This time, Lu Xu implored the palace to be sure to do its best, that is, to let His Majesty the Emperor and the temple boss know about our eating appearance, in order to seize the opportunity in the next move. The world is the world of the Zhao family, as the head of the family, with a full house of children and grandchildren, he will naturally choose those children and grandchildren who are reliable and have a 'non-fighting' duty, and when the head of the family is happy, he is willing to give them more money, hoping that they will be more competitive. If you feel that you have no money, the head of the family will have to hold on to the money bag and family heirlooms. It's just that Lu Xu really can't imagine what the temple would be like without Zhang Shoufu. With him and Tan Tanweng here, he has a clear understanding of the situation in Qingzhou, and he will never be too difficult for Jing'an Palace, if a family changes the big housekeeper who is in charge of money and affairs, it will even ...... Even if there is a change of head of the family, if no one in the Green Party can stand up and speak in the ear of our new master at a critical moment, it will always be a hidden danger. Therefore, the good is in front of you and the bad is in the distance. Overall, still bad news. Of course, everything in the world changes rapidly, no matter how far you can see, you may not be accurate, and you can't escape the number of steps you can not escape. ”

Zhao Xun was stunned and said: "Zhang Shoufu is only in his fifties, and his body and bones have always been good, how can he retreat, and how can anyone retreat?"

Lu Xu pointed to the sky above his head and did not make a sound.

Zhao Xun's face was cloudy, and he lowered his voice and gritted his teeth: "That's why you asked me to secretly befriend Jin Saburo and King Qingcheng early on?"

Lu Xu nodded, without the slightest smugness about his quiet early layout.

Zhao Xun suddenly sneered: "Liu'er, you said that we are guests, carefully toss out the delicious appearance, the head of the house, the eating appearance is a mess." Hey, indeed, sitting in that position, family law is the law of the country, and family law is the law of heaven. ”

Lu Xu said calmly: "Your Highness, don't forget, you are also surnamed Zhao, and the family does not speak two words." ”

Zhao Xun smiled and put his arm around Zhao Xun's shoulder, "I don't dare to talk to you about anything." ”

Lu Xu looked helpless.

Zhao Xun said worriedly: "Liu'er, why don't you really go with me? Without your help and advice, I don't know the bottom of my heart." ”

Lu Xu said calmly: "I will only come up with ideas, the marching formation is a layman, besides, His Royal Highness's trip is not to make war achievements, of course, I can't catch it if I want to, I will beat up these 6,000 people in one go, and then I will meet the prince secretly in rags, even if it is a great success." ”

Zhao Xun was a little unbearable, "Can't you leave two or three thousand soldiers and horses?

Lu Xu's face was expressionless, and he turned his head to "look" at the King of Jing'an, who was always His Royal Highness in his mouth.

Zhao Xun hurriedly raised his hands, "Isn't it okay to listen to you?" ”

Seeing that this Mr. Lu did not move, Zhao Xun reluctantly whispered: "Am I really leaving?"

Lu Xu stretched out a hand and motioned to get on the horse.

Zhao Xun turned over and got on the horse, Lu Xu hesitated, raised his head and admonished: "Remember, there are two things in this trip, try to win more trust from Zhao Zhen, and then take 6,000 lives to win the hearts of the people in the world." ”

Zhao Xun looked down at this blind strategist who had done his best for the Jing'an Palace, snorted heavily, and rode away.

The young vassal king has the pride of "I also have Yuan Benxi by my side" in his heart.
