In Lu Shen's opinion, Su Buqing took the initiative to give him the credit for the detailed crime, obviously not just to recruit him.

In fact, for most ordinary people, joining the Warp Weaving Division is even more difficult than the imperial examination for fame, this solicitation is originally a benefit, and there is no need for Su Buqing to use means such as sharing profits and credit.

Su Buqing changed the topic again, and said unhurriedly: "The plan of the Pseudo-Yan Prosecutor's Office has failed this time, how do you think they will react?" ”

Lu Shen has enough patience, which is also one of the advantages that he was praised for in his previous life.

When he was still in the field army, he had a record of lurking as a sniper for two days and one night, although sniper skills are useless in this world, the traits he has honed over a long period of time will not disappear.

Since Su Buqing was observing himself in circles, he tried to get the initiative to talk: "My lord, the younger generation thinks that the puppet Yan's move to seize Panlong Pass is more worthy of attention. ”

Su Buqing's eyes condensed slightly, and he said, "Go on." ”

"From thirteen years ago to seven years ago, the focus of the competition between Daqi and the pseudo-Yan and the Jing Dynasty behind the pseudo-Yan was Huaizhou. In the past six years, both the north and the south have invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and dozens of large and small battles have been launched in the north of Huaizhou, until finally all their strength is exhausted and they have to stop temporarily. However, this does not mean that the pseudo-Yan and Jing dynasties will give up the idea of fighting for Huaizhou. ”

"From seven years ago to the present, although the imperial court has not made a peace pact with the puppet Yan, the fact that caravans are allowed to enter and leave Panlong Pass has formed a de facto peace. With the opening of private trade, Huaizhou became more and more prosperous, and also brought a large amount of taxes to the imperial court. The younger generation did not dare to discuss the government in vain, but in this case, Governor Xiao and Master Su wanted to rekindle the war and promote the Northern Expedition. ”

"For Pseudo Yan, it is up to them to decide whether to fight or not, and the final decision is in the hands of Jing Chao. After seven years of recuperation, the north must have accumulated enough strength to support them in a tragic war, with the aim of capturing Huaizhou and completely isolating the tentacles of Daqi south of the Hengjiang River. ”

"The younger generation secretly thinks that the puppet Yan Prosecutor's plot to seize Panlong Pass is just the beginning, and Li Xuanan's accidental death cannot change the subsequent process."

Lu Shen looked at Su Buqing calmly, signaling that he had finished speaking.

Su Buqing's eyes were shining, and he praised with a smile: "Being in the midst of everyone, it is like a pearl among the tiles and stones." ”

Lu Shen shook his head and said: "My lord's praise, these ideas are not surprising, the younger generation believes that the adult and the Governor Xiao have already expected this festival." ”

Su Buqing didn't deny it, and said, "Among the young juniors like you, how many people have such a clear understanding?" It's just that I don't quite understand, you can use these judgments as a step of dedication, Xiao Dadu Governor will definitely not despise it, maybe he will directly summon you to the Governor's Mansion, why are you ......"

"My lord wants to say that the younger generation has reported to the Metropolitan Governor before, why did you choose to be honest with the Lord this time?"

Seeing that he hesitated, Lu Shen took the initiative to take over the conversation, and then said sincerely: "Because the juniors are a little scared." ”

Su Buqing said curiously: "What are you afraid of? ”

Lu Shen replied: "In the previous detailed crimes, the juniors may have one or two dazzling performances, so it is reasonable for the adults to have the intention of soliciting." However, when I saw it today, the adults were like vendors in the East Market, and good words were sprinkled like no money, and the top hats were put on one after another, and the credit for the purging of the pseudo-Yan was forcibly pressed on the younger generations. ”

He paused slightly, and said as calmly as possible: "Look at the current situation, it is very similar to the decapitation meal before going to the execution ground. ”

"Hahaha......"

Su Buqing couldn't help laughing loudly, looking at Lu Shen's slightly innocent expression, he waved his hand and said, "There is no such thing." ”

Lu Shen thought to himself, do you really think I am a three-year-old child?

There must be something to ask for, not to mention that the status of the two sides is obviously unequal, one is the powerful warp weaving inspector, and the other is the son of a businessman who has no fame.

Su Buqing's performance can only show that he not only wants Lu Shen to join the warp weaving department, but also needs Lu Shen to pay a great price, and he must pay it willingly.

But where is he worthy of such a twist and turn?

Is he coveting the wealth of the Lu family?

Putting aside whether Su Buqing is greedy or not, considering the relationship between Lu Tong and Xue Huaiyi, Su Buqing does not need to touch this hard nail, after all, there are many wealthy businessmen in Huaizhou, and not every one of them can have anything to do with the right side of the dynasty.

Something to do with the wind and waves in the capital?

This is also unreasonable, even if Su Buqing shows favor to Lu Shen in every way, Lu Shen can't prompt the right minister Xue Nanting to bring Su Buqing.

In the current court structure of the Southern Qi Dynasty, there is a natural opposition between the privileged yamen of the civil official group and the warp weaving department.

Since these are impossible, Su Buqing's purpose in doing this can already be limited to a very small range.

Lu Shen is very self-aware, he knows that there are not many things on his body that are worthy of Su Buqing's attention.

"Doesn't the adult want the juniors to follow Gu Yong, Zhang Xi and the others and lurk in the territory of Pseudo-Yan?"

This sentence made the smile on Su Buqing's face fade instantly.

He stared at Lu Shen's eyes, surprised and approving, and said for a long time: "I really didn't see the wrong person. ”

Lu Shen was still very calm at this moment, shook his head and said, "My lord, this is not a wise choice. ”

Su Buqing was not in a hurry, and asked, "Why?" ”

Lu Shen said calmly: "The junior was involved in the detailed crime before, and this matter has long been known to the north. Even if they don't know the follow-up development, they also know that it was the younger generation who discovered the secret letter, and then they will associate it with the inextricable connection between the younger generation and the warp weaving company. In this case, if the younger generation appears in the territory of the pseudo-Yan, how can the spies of the prosecutor's office be indifferent? ”

Su Buqing said: "I have considered this, all the records about you in the Warp Weaving Department have been destroyed, and all the pseudo-Yan fine works that have seen you have been executed, except for Governor Xiao, Lord Tiju and myself, no one knows your role in this matter." In the future, if you go to Pseudo Yan, you will naturally have to change your name and surname to hide your identity, how will the spies in the Prosecutor's Office know that you are Lu Shen? ”

Lu Shen secretly said This is probably one of the benefits of this era, but in his previous life, it was absolutely impossible, how can a person who shows his face be a spy?

It's just a pity that this can hardly be called a benefit to him.

He thought for a while and insisted: "The younger generation is young and shallow, and it is not enough to take on the big responsibility. ”

Su Buqing smiled and said, "I'm not asking you to go to Pseudo Yan now, you still have plenty of time to improve yourself." At present, war may break out at any time at the border passes, and both sides are already nervous and vigilant, and it is not appropriate for us to send new agents to the north. And even if you readily agree, you will need to learn the internal regulations of the warp weaving department, as well as the skills that need to be mastered in detail, which can be as fast as three or five months, or as slow as a year. ”

He paused slightly, and said with emotion: "Actually, I didn't plan to tell you the truth so early, but you took the initiative to find out, and I can't continue to hide it." ”

Lu Shen's tone was slightly sharp: "When the adults decide to take the initiative to inform, I'm afraid that the juniors will not have any room for excuses." ”

Su Buqing's expression became more and more gentle, and he said slowly: "The reason why I chose you is because you are young enough, and you are not famous, and you have not attracted attention in the past. It's not that there are no talents in the Warp Weaving Division, but you should be able to find from Gu Yong's incident that there are pseudo-Yan people in us, and a lot of information has already been known to the other party. ”

Lu Shen said rationally: "Having said that, adults always feel a little ...... when they pin their hopes on me, a hairy boy Random. ”

Su Buqing smiled dumbly, and then said calmly: "It's not just about you. In the past two years, I have observed in various places, and I have selected some good seedlings, and trained them in the name of recruiting them into the warp weaving department for the time being, and will tell them the truth in the future. It's just that you're the only one who can guess so quickly, and I expect the most from you. ”

Lu was silent.

Except for the fact that he saw through his intentions, Su Buqing's thoughts were not inappropriate.

Beiyan can send Gu Yong, Zhang Xi and Ning Li to spend nearly ten years lurking in Huaizhou, and of course the Warp Weaving Division can do the same, and there must have been similar arrangements.

On this basis, Su Buqing selected some young people who were innocent and good at adaptation, and placed them in the territory of Beiyan through various means, which was the most conventional espionage work.

It's just that...... Sneaking in a foreign country to spy on intelligence is tantamount to walking on a blade, which is a real life of nine deaths.

Su Buqing was very patient today, and said slowly: "As you said before, Pseudo Yan and Jing Chao will definitely not give up this time, and Huaizhou can only take a defensive position. But we can look to the future, because a big war necessarily requires long-term preparations. You must understand that if you want to win a phased victory in the Northern Expedition in the future, intelligence spying in the enemy's territory is the most important thing. ”

Lu Shen has already realized Su Buqing's determination, this is a typical lonely minister-like character, even the official position in front of him can be given up without hesitation, and treating others will only be more ruthless.

He also sighed and asked sincerely: "My lord is painstakingly lonely, and the younger generation can understand, but are you sure that the imperial court will support the Northern Expedition of the Huaizhou Governor's Mansion?" ”

Su Buqing was silent for a moment, and said quietly: "Pseudo-Yan has to send an arrow on the string this time, this battle will make Your Majesty and the princes of the court understand that the enemy's heart will not die, and even if Huaizhou falls, it will not satisfy them." In that year, Heluo fell, nearly half of the country was lost, and the imperial court was in a corner of peace, and it lasted for thirteen years. ”

Lu was silent.

Su Buqing raised his head slightly, with a sad look on his face: "Heluo is not the end, and neither is Huaizhou, the next will inevitably be Jingzhou, and then what?" The army of the Jing Dynasty is strong, and the emperor who is only forty years old is working hard, how can he dispel his long-cherished wish to dominate the world? We give up Jiangbei, Huaizhou, Jingzhou, until we give up Yongjia? Until the Great Qi is completely destroyed? ”

Lu Shen's thoughts were a little confused, and he lost his previous composure.

Su Buqing exhaled a breath of turbidity, calmed down his excitement, and said softly: "I understand, you can't fully understand these things for the time being, and you may even find such thoughts a little ridiculous." But you can think about it, if Huaizhou can't be defended, where will the Lu family go? ”

Lu Shen knew that he was secretly changing concepts, and holding Huaizhou and raising troops for the Northern Expedition were two completely different concepts, but he didn't refute it, because Su Buqing was just trying to convince himself with reason - before he completely refused.

"It's a big deal, you can think about it slowly."

Su Buqing obviously understands the principle of collecting and releasing one thing, and said in a slow tone: "I just said that your role in the detailed crime cannot be ignored, and the Warp Weaving Department must be rewarded. ”

This is the so-called moving with affection, knowing with reason, and seducing with profit?

Lu Shen was a little curious, what kind of reward would be this reward, so that Su Buqing was sure that he would be stunned, so he willingly worked for the warp weaving division.
