Chapter 101: The Human Heart
Lu Jia looked at Gao Zhun calmly, and then smiled.
"This alone, of course, will not let him betray Lord Shangshu."
Gao Zhun twisted his eyebrows and waited for Lu Jia to follow.
Lu Jia said: "But this is the key point where I can win this tax, if you want to know if you should give me a little benefit?" ”
Lu Jia had a smile in her eyes, she said it bluntly and calmly, but it was not easy for people to have doubts on the side.
Gao Zhun looked at her, "What benefits do you want?" ”
"It depends on what benefits Master Gao can give me, or rather, what benefits Master Gao thinks this secret can be worth."
Lu Jia lifted the teapot, refilled the tea for Gao Zhun and himself, and said unhurriedly, after the tea was poured, the two arms were folded on the table, looking strange and well-behaved.
Gao Zhun smiled, "Are you ready to completely disagree with Lord Shangshu?" Does your dad know this? ”
"Naturally, otherwise why do you think I want to come to Kyoto, why do I want to be a female official?"
Gao Zhun paused for a moment.
Suddenly, a surge of emotion surged in my heart.
He had felt that something was swirling in his mind before, making him feel eager or restless, but now he finally understood what was making him restless.
It is Lu Qingshan behind Lu Jia.
Lu Qingshan asked Lu Jia to come to Kyoto and let Lu Jia be a female official, because Lu Qingshan needed someone who could help him grasp some wind directions in Kyoto at any time.
One of Lu Qingshan's daughters married the second son of the Rong'an Hou Mansion, and originally, this family affair allowed the Rong'an Hou Mansion to become Lu Qingshan's messenger in Kyoto.
But Xiao Yi had an accident.
Xiao Yan and the Lu family have always been at odds with each other, and Xiao Yan will definitely not help Lu Qingshan.
Then Lu Qingshan could only let his other daughter become a female official.
What a great opportunity this is, how many people can't ask for an intimate relationship with a general. Hubu Shangshu accepted Lu Qingshan's silver, but he made it difficult for Lu Jia to be clever.
Presumably, he wanted to make Lu Jia submit to him through such means, he wanted to control Lu Jia, so that he could get more benefits from Lu Qingshan!
But he didn't expect it. Lu Jia turned his head to look for him!
Gao Zhun's mouth was dry from being shocked by his analysis, and hundreds of millions of nerves in his body were agitated, so he grabbed the teacup on the table and poured it down.
There was an instant light in his eyes, "If you can tell me this secret, I can guarantee that any secrets that Tobe knows can be shared with you." ”
Lu Jia's face suddenly welled up with joy, "Really? Are you serious? Lord Shangshu refused to agree. ”
She was like a little girl who had never been in the world.
got the benefits he wanted, and he was excited to show his original form.
Gao Zhun became more and more sure of the analysis and speculation in his heart.
He has been in the position of the right attendant of the household department for five years
Now His Majesty's concern for the government is average, and if there is nothing wrong with the head of the household, it is not easy to be easily replaced.
His promotion was hopeless.
Originally, he gave up, didn't think about promotion, and just wanted to take advantage of his job to make a few dollars.
After all, the common people are getting poorer and poorer, the officials are becoming more and more greedy, and there are more and fewer monks, and it is becoming more and more difficult to make money.
Last year, he was still greedy for 200,000 taels, but this year he is only greedy for 120,000 taels. In this way, what is the meaning of what this official does?
How could he have thought that God would have mercy on him and give him such an opportunity.
Gao Zhun said firmly: "I can swear, or I can write a guarantee." ”
The fish has taken the bait.
Lu Jia was even more unhurried.
"Actually, my method is very simple, I just told the owner that the second son of the Hubu Shangshu is very close to His Royal Highness the Second Prince."
Gao Zhunjie was stunned, "How do you know?" ”
"Because His Royal Highness is recuperating in my courtyard, who has visited him, I naturally know that the second son of Lord Shangshu has visited him three times, and each time it is at night, and the people on duty in the criminal department are about to doze off, so he went to visit.
Despite the short time spent there, it was . No matter how short it is, the frequency of not being able to stand it is high.
You know, since the second prince was in a coma and recuperated from my injuries, no one has ever visited him. ”
"Do you know the second son of Lord Shangshu?" Gao Zhun asked.
"Master Xiao told me."
"Lord Xiao? Xiao Yan? Gao Zhun was full of doubts.
Lu Jia nodded, "Lord Xiao likes me, and Lord Gao must have heard of it, so he sometimes stays a little late at my place."
I met the second son of Lord Shangshu, and he told me.
He also said that this time Zi came to represent the meaning of Lord Shangshu.
Our Second Highness, don't look at the appearance of not fighting or fighting with the world on weekdays, but in the royal family, who can really do it without fighting with the world?
When His Royal Highness relied on the Pingwei Army in the past, Lord Hubu Shangshu had a good relationship with His Second Highness in private. ”
Lu Jia said as he observed Gao Zhun's expression for a moment.
Just a moment after Lu Jia's words fell, Gao Zhun immediately retorted, "This is impossible, at that time, the Pingwei army was fighting, and the imperial court asked the household department to issue military salaries, and the household department was actually rich at that time, but Lord Shangshu insisted on the special fund, but he didn't send a word to the Pingwei army."
The Pingwei Army is the army of His Royal Highness's grandfather, if Lord Shangshu really befriends His Royal Highness, how can he not pay a penny?
And the Pingwei army fights and needs the support of military rations in the rear, you may not know that Lord Shangshu ordered him to distribute it, it was all old rice with worms, and some of it was moldy.
This is for the soldiers to eat this, this mind is vicious enough.
When Pingweijun was still there, he dared to do this, Pingweijun was gone, could he let his son get close to His Second Highness? ”
Lu Jia snorted coldly in his heart, this household book is really not a good thing.
interrupted Gao Zhun, "Lord Gao really thinks that the Pingwei Army did not collect military salaries? ”
Gao Zhun looked at Lu Jia, and Lu Jia said: "The household department can be regarded as fat, if Lord Gao has the ability, you might as well inquire about Lord Shangshu's small treasury, you will definitely be stunned."
He is not at all like he seems, refusing to give any military funds and assistance to the Pingwei army.
On the contrary, he privately subsidized it all with his own money.
He is completely from the first party of the Pingwei Army, that is, from the party of the Second Highness. ”
"How could Miss Lu San know this?" Gao Zhun asked suspiciously, and his heart was turbulent, if Shangshu was really a party of the two princes, relying on the emperor's dislike for the two princes." I have been an official in the household department for so many years, and I have never heard of it. ”
"If you haven't heard of it in the household department, it doesn't mean that my father won't hear about it in the barracks."
Gao Zhun was stunned for a moment and sighed.
Bring the topic back to the owner, "This owner is a person who understands current affairs, and even the owner knows that it is not good to get close to the second prince, why is Lord Shangshu so confused that he wants to go down to the second palace." ”
Lu Jia sneered, "Naturally, it's because of the military power in the hands of the old general Pingwei, he thinks that with this military power, he will be able to follow the dragon in the future." ”
