At the end of the day, when it was still dark outside, Lu Weimang and his father went to the government and left.

Lu Weimang felt nostalgic on the one hand, and felt that there were two younger brothers who got up earlier than him and left earlier than him, and he went to the government by himself, and it didn't seem to be so early. Sure enough, happiness is all comparative.

"Didn't Chengyang's Qiu Yu pass the test? Why do you still go to the academy so early every day? ”

Lu Weimang was talking to his father, and when Lu Qingshan heard Lu Weimang mention his eldest son, he smiled, "Chengyang really won glory for our old Lu family, my old guys, all let the children of the family enter the city protection division, but there is an errand, so as not to mess around, but we Chengyang, who has passed the autumn exam, don't need his old son to worry about his future." In the past, above the court, the twists and turns of this scholar made us suffer dumb losses, now it's okay, when we come out of the Chengyang exam, I will definitely let my son give us a breath! ”

At the beginning of the new dynasty, the military generals were appointed to many official positions in the court, after all, people followed you to fight the world and conquered the world, you can't kick the old guys, right? Moreover, there are many people in this court, and those who are emperors will not be fooled by the people below.

But to be honest, like Lu Qingshan, he can still rely on his courage to fight a war, and he is a layman to govern the country. Therefore, every time they have an argument with the civil officials, they often say that they can't read people, and sometimes they have to be aggrieved if they are justified. So this time Lu Chengyang was born, and the generals were happy to see him, and they all hoped that Lu Chengyang would be their mouth in the future and fight with the civil officials.

Seeing his father's excited face, as if the day when his son Lu Chengyang was angry for him was not far away, and he was looking forward to it, Lu Weimang was speechless.

Why has there been constant party contention between the DPRK and China since ancient times? Because you think that the decree needs the support of people, regardless of camp, what is the use of drawing your own people, even if the official is high? If the decree does not go out of the yamen, you can't do whatever you want. It's when the emperor is still in the air!

Therefore, the military generals of Wenchen are naturally opposed, and they have nothing to do with individuals, but they are just different positions.

Lu Chengyang, an orthodox civil official from the Kaoke of the military general's noble family, will be excluded by nature because of his position. It's just that Dad is still adding oil and vinegar on the side, looking like you are waiting, so those civil officials, can Lu Chengyang easily gain a foothold in the court? There is a high probability that as soon as Lu Chengyang enters the court, he will be excluded. Unless he can unite a group of friends to support him, he can only be like Lu Weimang and fight alone. However, there are many civil and official rules, if you are picked up, you will walk with your right foot first, and there will be people who say it.

Lu Weimang thought about the predicament that his brother might face, and looked at his father with an excited face, so he could only talk to Cheng Yang after he dispersed.

"Girl, you get off the carriage first, Huo Hou is waiting for you at the city gate!"

Lu Weimang came back to his senses when he heard this, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and jumped out of the carriage, "Have you waited for a long time?" ”

Huo Jing stretched out his hand and took Lu Weimang's hand in his hand, before Lu Weimang could break free, he naturally let go, "It's hot, it's okay." ”

Lu Weimang swept the eyes that looked around intentionally or unintentionally, and stood on the other side of Huo Jing, "My body has already recovered." I don't like the cold, just like I like sunny days and I don't like cloudy days, it's just whether I like it or not, not because of the body. ”

"Hmm."

The two of them were waiting for the court in the square in front of the Chengming Palace.

On weekdays, Lu Weimang doesn't have to go to the court, but isn't it the first day of returning to the court after finishing his errands today, and he should go to the court to give an explanation to His Majesty. However, this explanation is mainly done by Huo Jing, and Lu Weimang is just a foil.

The second time he went to court, Lu Weimang was much calmer, followed Huo Jing's right back, and listened to Huo Jing's reply.

Huo Jing's reply did not say sensitive words such as spies, he went to Yangzhou in the name of supervising Yangzhou officialdom, and at this time he naturally recalled the improper official conduct of the officials who were dealt with in Yangzhou, colluded up and down, and engaged in favoritism.

As soon as Huo Jing's voice fell, a person stood up in the civil official team and came forward to refute Huo Jing.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen heard that Huo Houye acted as a cool official in the south of the Yangtze River, and the high-level officialdom of Yangzhou who killed him was almost wiped out, causing the people of Yangzhou to panic and the place to be unstable."

This is a civil official, and when he said it, it means that although Huo Jing did not do anything illegal or criminal, and the officials he dealt with were all conclusively guilty, it did not prevent him from opposing Huo Jing's actions.

The general's side suddenly stopped, what? Do a thankless task? As soon as you say it, Huo Jing went to Yangzhou for a trip, not only in vain, but guilty!

"What do you mean, old killer? Which thing does Huo Hou do that is not acting according to the law, which can also make you pick bones in the egg? Did you accept the benefits from someone before you stood up and spoke to them and blamed Huo Hou? ”

There is no technical content in the general's speech, and he directly attacks him.

The civil official was naturally not afraid of this fluttering personal attack, and he wished that the generals would say more, so that His Majesty could see the level of the generals. At the moment, his beard curled and raised his head, "The old decay is just a matter of facts, Huo Hou is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" ”

The fluttering words angered the general, "You old horseman..."

If it was usual, there should have been a scene, sometimes the emperor watched the drama lively, and no one stopped him, the military generals and civil officials would start to do a show.

At this time, the civil officials have also learned the six arts, and on the premise of not moving weapons, they will not fall too far behind.

Lu Weimang occasionally listened to his father say that when he went to the court, who choked and fought, the excitement suddenly understood the motivation of the ministers to go to the court on time every day, and the opportunity to watch the big drama on the spot fell on Lu Weimang, and she would definitely come to the court on time every day.

But today's matter, the civil official made a mistake, the matter in Yangzhou is related to the crime of conspiracy and rebellion, and it is not a matter that anyone can take advantage of and get over their mouths.

"Alright."

On the high platform, His Majesty let out a faint "Okay" that couldn't hear the emotion, which quieted down everyone, including the two people who were arguing just now.

"The matter of Yangzhou, everyone has heard Huo Hou's announcement, the early dynasty has limited time, who has an idea, you can go to the fold alone, I will check them one by one, and consider them carefully."

His Majesty's words stopped the dispute in an instant, and everyone bowed down to respond, and then discussed other matters.

Lu Weimang and Huo Jing returned to their positions, and in the face of the accusations and maintenance just now, they did not say a word.

After the early dynasty, His Majesty did not summon Huo Jing and Lu Weimang as soon as possible, but waited until the end of the Yin Dynasty to summon the two.

"Sit down first, look at the folds you have at hand, and I will read the few copies at hand before I speak."

The two of them sat in the Chengming Palace, in front of His Majesty's handling of state affairs, and picked up the fold and looked at it. "Sure enough, after the early dynasty, the excerpts of the various events in Yangzhou."

There are those who praise and depreciate, those who boast about Huo Hou's achievements, and those who praise and depreciate them, Lu Weimang turned over one by one, only to feel that the cultural literacy of the generals is really inferior to Wenchen, and the words are far behind.

"How?"

His Majesty's voice came, and Lu Weimang put the fold in his hand on the case, only listening to Huo Jing and His Majesty.

"Write down the name first, it should be the people in Yangzhou, the filial piety of the previous years, and the short-handedness, so they will come forward to speak. However, it is not excluded that there are really fine works mixed in between. With these people, they will copy the list and focus on monitoring for a while, so they don't have to take it too seriously. ”

Huo Jing said it lightly, and Lu Weimang nodded secretly.

"Lu Weimang, you say."

Named out.

"The ministers of the DPRK and China have their own positions, just looking at this excerpt, the lower officials dare not criticize. It's just a matter of stepping up precautions. ”

Seriously, each has its own position. Some people are officials, just to glorify their ancestors, or to support their families, who can be like Your Majesty and Huo Jing, who regard Daqian as their own hard work, operate with their hearts, and hate saboteurs?

"Hmm."

His Majesty looked at these folds and agreed lightly.

After a long time, His Majesty was busy with government affairs before he got up, and Lu Weimang got up with Huo Jing.

"Let's go, I'm done with business, and I'm going to see your aunt. Your aunt complained to me many times, saying that you had just returned from the north and had not recovered yet, and it was another errand after another. But if you do this, I will trust no one except you. They are all colleagues of the same year, and it is inevitable that they will have concerns, and they are reluctant to start, and they will take the interests of the big cadres as normal and take them as favors. Lu Weimang, did you hear that? You can't be like them in the future, you have to be like Yangzhou, mercilessly, pierce the sky, and I will support you. ”

Lu Weimang nodded obediently.

Huo Jing reached over, grabbed Lu Weimang's, and smiled at her comfortingly.

…

"But when I came back, I was worried about you when you went out, and there was nothing big in the future, so you stayed with me. Your Majesty, before Yuan Bai and Wei Mang get married, they are not allowed to be sent out of Beijing again! ”

The queen is still as bright and atmospheric as ever, the years seem to have bypassed her, and there is no change from when Lu Weimang met her a few years ago.

Here in the queen, Her Majesty has completely lost the seriousness of the Qiande Palace, with a smile on his face, like a neighbor's uncle.

"Listen to you, listen to you, otherwise, don't think about purifying my ears."

The queen was satisfied, and looked at Lu Weimang again, "The time for you to come back is just right, the ceremony of Layue and Lu is still early, just before the time, you can come to me more often and learn some rules and etiquette." ”

Lu Weimang subconsciously wanted to object, but he couldn't find a reason for a while, but Huo Jing was faint at this time, "Auntie, didn't you say that the rules and etiquette are for others to see?" And the gift of the curtain, you have already contracted the past, Weimang will cooperate with you when the time comes, where to use the specialty? ”

One thing descends one thing. His Majesty has no room to fight back in front of Niangniang, and Niangniang is also scolded everywhere in front of Huo Jing.

The queen mother glared at her nephew, and then looked at Lu Weimang with a smile, "What Yuan Bai said also makes sense. In this way, in the middle of the month, the granddaughter of An Guogong's family, you will go with me to watch the ceremony. With your intelligence, you will be able to watch it once. ”

Lu Weimang breathed a sigh of relief, "Listen to Niangniang's orders." ”
