The dignified and upright under the invitation was so Gu Shubian also agreed to the appointment frankly, but he didn't know that he had just arrived at the Lu Mansion on the front foot, and his whereabouts on the back foot had been transmitted back to the Jin Mansion by the people sent by Jinshan to keep an eye on the Lu Mansion. I just don't know whose game this move is.

"Gu Shangshu, I heard that General Chen and General Hu in the Northeast, General Mi and General Wu in the Northwest are all your old comrades-in-arms." After the guest and host sat down, Lu Chen opened his mouth first.

"Yes, after all, he has been in the army for decades, and there are still a few old brothers who can talk to him, Lord Lu has never been on the front line, and he doesn't know the hardships of the front line. We old guys, all of whom have been killed in the wind and rain, are really closer than brothers. Gu Shubian took Lu Chen's words, but he also showed his confidence, and then made up for it, "But some of them haven't seen each other for a few years, and there are occasional letters, but greeting them is different from before." ”

"Yes, Xia Guan also admires Gu Shangshu's great achievements, His Majesty the Emperor has a discerning eye, and specially instructed me to learn more from Gu Shangshu in private, and to associate more with heroes like you. Lu Chen had something to say, and after speaking, he looked at Gu Shubian with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He had reported to Emperor Jiancheng before intercepting the green willow, although this Gu Shubian, although he was only in charge of the military department, but there were countless generals and captains under him, and many people were now the mainstay in the army, not that they could be replaced. In addition, there are more than ten of his sons-in-law, there are generals who defend the city from all over the country, and there are also young talents in the middle of the court. Moreover, this person has worked hard to such a position from scratch, and sometimes he is lucky, but he can't ignore his real ability, that is, this person has the ability to deploy troops, and has a bold personality, and has a high prestige in the army. Moreover, Lu Chen has investigated, Gu Shubian is a person, unlike other Jin's Yong party, he is right to support Jinshan, but he also has his own plans and ambitions. Now that Jinshan is still falling, it is not impossible for him to take over the flag and seize power, so it is the best choice to treat this person and win over. And today's willingness to go to the banquet openly also shows that he is not without ideas. Lu Chen didn't believe that Gu Shubian didn't know that there was eyeliner around Lu Mansion, and among so many eyeliners, of course, he was indispensable to Jinshan. But he still came, can't he explain the problem.

"The emperor praised falsely, I just lived a few more years, and the court in the future will have to rely on young talents like Lord Lu. We're all old," Gu Shu shook his head and sighed as he drank the wine in his glass.

"Gu Shangshu is in the prime of life, isn't the child in the belly of the green willow girl the best proof, Gu Shangshu should not be modest." Lu Chen directly pointed out that he just wanted Gu Shubian to know that he Lu Chen would dare to do it.

"Oh? Green willow in Lord Lu's mansion? The woman in the house is ignorant and fearless, but she offended Lord Lu? ”

"No, no, no, this morning on the way out of the city encountered a robbery by mountain bandits, the guards in the house were warm-hearted, and they couldn't see the beautiful girl ruined by those thieves, so they were angry and helped, and sent them back to your mansion directly for fear of causing misunderstanding, so I asked Gu Shangshu to go over the house and take people back by the way. Gu Shangshu rest assured, although the guards in the mansion have some skills, they are all extremely regular, and they have not touched the green willow girl at all. Lu Chen really made up a reason, of course, Gu Shubian wouldn't believe it. It's just that the years are quiet on the surface, and the old fox meets the little fox, and I don't know who is better.

When Lu Chen ordered someone to bring the green willow up, the sincerity in Gu Shubian's eyes seemed to be two points more, "Lord Lu stay, thank you for your hospitality today, the green willow incident saved your life, and I don't know how to thank you, another day, I will be the east another day, just in my house, the chef of Chang'an burned a good duck meat, Lord Lu, don't shirk it."

"Gu Shangshu is polite, there are a lot of cooks in my house, what you see today is just one kind of cuisine, but they don't often shoot, I also think that eating, since you are in the capital, it must be better to eat local dishes in the capital." A few days ago, I was still telling them that the emperor's grace has been good in the past two years, and the people have lived well, and we must be grateful for the emperor's kindness. ”

Lu Chen has something to say, Gu Shubian is not a fool, he has seen Lu Chen's means and strength, but it is not too early to stand in line. He was like a third person standing between two martial artists in the arena, everyone wanted to pull him over to help knock each other down, and it was better not to stand in line now.

personally sent Gu Shubian out of the door, and Lu Chen returned to the courtyard with his hands, but Lu Tong didn't understand, so he let Gu Shubian take away the green willow? Wouldn't it be in vain to try to catch her and bring her back to the house. Lu Chen wanted to take a fan and point Lu Tong's head but found that he forgot to take a fan when he went out just now, so he had to pat him on the shoulder and said, "I tell you to read more books and be playful, but you know what Zhuge Liang captured Meng Shu for, killing people is naturally simple, and even it is not difficult to sentence Jinshan to death, the difficult thing is that how Jinshan died and his supporters either fell into a struggle because of the seizure of power or because they were targeted because of the fall of their backers, although these people are not necessarily good people or good officials, but without them, the court will not become clean and peaceful in an instant, Killing Gu Shubian might even be more troublesome. Governing the world is not an either/or issue, when the water is clear, there are no fish, sometimes for the sake of the final overall situation, it is necessary to compromise some, just maintain the heart and stick to it", as for Gu Shubian, he was already in this dragon and tiger arena, and he wanted to watch and see the signs before choosing a side, whether it was the dragon or the tiger, he would not be allowed to do so.

Lu Tong nodded as if he didn't understand, and then said, "Third son, Uncle Zhong sent someone to ask at that time, in a few days it will be the 60th birthday of Hu Zhongshu, the secretary of the ministry, and he prepared a Shoushan stone as a congratulatory gift, asking if you are feasible, and the post has also been sent, do you want to go over?" ”。

"The way of a gentleman, loyalty and forgiveness, what a name. You go back and tell Uncle Zhong, I am ready for a congratulatory gift, Shoushan Stone is a good thing, and it is useful for me to keep it. In addition, ask him to pick out from the warehouse, whether there are any gifts and supplements suitable for pregnant women, send them to Gu Fu in the name of his mother, wrap them for me a little better, send them from the main gate, and send a batch every three or five days. In addition, Lu Yiyuan and his wife asked people to stare at him more, and now no one will rashly move him at this juncture, but he can't be sure that any of his brains are stupid enough to seal his mouth, this person will still be useful in the future, and he must ensure safety. Send a message to him, within a month, he will be acquitted, and protect himself first. ”

After entrusting everything, Lu Tong looked at Lu Chen's straight spine at all times, the summer wind blowing, bringing up the hem of his clothes and curling his hair, but it did not stir his firm heart at all, distressed but admired.
