The wide imperial road seemed a little empty, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, all the ministers walked quickly to leave this place, for fear that the emperor inside would be unhappy and summon him back.

But there are always people who are bolder, and not only did they not panic when they walked on this royal road, but they slowly regarded this place as their own back garden.

Slowly coming from the distance of the royal road were two gray-haired old guys, if it took a while, I was afraid that I would not even be able to straighten my back.

"Old boy Su, tell me who the emperor is on the other side of the grassland? And who are those who have the courage to go to the grassland, although I have some guesses in my heart, I can't do it accurately. ”

Su Wang smiled bitterly.

"I can't guess you, as long as you have an enmity with our Da Chu, it is possible, at least on the surface, you have an enmity with our Da Chu, but there are too many such people! Even if the Taoist Zhang Tianshi is alive, he can't figure out why!"

Lu Xiangrui nodded at this, and then continued.

"There are a lot of scholars who have enmity with our Great Chu, but there are not many scholars who have the ability to straighten out the affairs of a country, can you tell me if there are those people who cultivate and study the family? I don't believe that one or two of them have crooked thoughts after decades of suppression!"

Su Wang's expression was very relaxed, obviously he didn't think it was a big deal for the cultivator family to go to the grassland.

"It would be great if some cultivators who are not willing to be lonely are making trouble behind their backs, those of them know what to do with the world and the country, and the only advantage is to write two moral articles and say two sentences, if the grassland is to rely on them to establish power, there is no need to fight between Dachu and the grassland, and within ten years, those sour Confucians can make the entire grassland into a miasma, let's just go over and take the land." ”

Hearing Su Wang say this, Lu Xiangrui, who originally had some ideas, was a little confused, besides the cultivator family, would anyone else quietly run to the grassland?

"Could it be that it was those officials of the previous dynasty? This is not good, Chen Mu has no problem staying in Jiangnan, but we don't know where that Zhu Wenran is! If he goes to the grassland to preside over the overall situation, our life will not be easy. ”

Su Wang patted Lu Xiangrui on the shoulder.

"You can rest assured at this point, Zhu Wenran will never go to the grassland, if he goes, today's small court meeting will not end so soon, will the emperor let a minister who is more perfect than me go to the grassland? Let's take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Zhu Wenran really goes to the grassland, then he is also the emperor's person, maybe he is the one who delivered the letter to the emperor. ”

Lu Xiangrui nodded again, if Zhu Wenran really ran to the grassland, he didn't have to worry about it, and the emperor Chu Zheng would definitely be the first to stand up and scold his mother.

"But apart from these two, who else can have the talent of the world?"

Su Wang is more and more refined, but Lu Xiangrui has become a little confused since he got old, not only has his thinking slowed down, but even his brain is not as good as before.

"Who said that if you are looking for someone, you must be the kind of talent who can rule a country by one person, and you can skip eating when you can't eat meat? When you don't have money, you can't live your life? The methods are all thought up by people, and since you can't find the best for some things, then find the next one!"

Su Wang laughed for no reason, looking more like an old fox than before he didn't laugh.

"In my opinion, one or two farming and reading families sent people to the grassland, and they definitely didn't run, but more of them were those scholars who held a grudge against Da Chu in the previous dynasty, Chen Mu, Zhu Wenran and the like couldn't do it, but there was definitely no problem with the following scholars and the scholars of various ministries digging up the past few. ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiangrui breathed a long sigh of relief.

"As long as it's not Zhu Wenran, it's easy to say anything, and other people won't be able to make a difference if they don't make it for three or five years. ”

Speaking of this, Su Wang stopped and turned his head to look at Lu Xiangrui a little strangely.

"Old boy Su, why are you looking at me like this, the old man can't stand your scare. ”

"Sex Lu, you said that your precious apprentice Lu Lingxuan was put in the position of the imperial envoy by you, why don't you let him stand up and shine, if it weren't for the imperial envoy standing in the court in the past two years, I would have thought that when would our three become two. ”

What is Lu Xiangrui going to do with this old boy, I didn't expect it to be such an inconsequential thing.

"I thought you were going to ask me something, I didn't expect it to be this matter, Ling Xuan, this kid is more than smart, and the temple kung fu is becoming more and more perfect, but there is only one point, he will always lose great wisdom in some clever places, if this point is not cured now, then he will make a big mistake in the future, so instead of letting him stand up like this now, it is better to let him understand it for two more years. ”

Now it was Su Wang's turn to be a little confused.

"Then why did you push him to the high position of the imperial envoy so early, and it would be the same a few years later?"

Although there are indeed some suspicions of occupying the pit and not now, how could I let go of such a good opportunity at the beginning! If I miss this time, I don't know when the next time the three chiefs will be replaced. ”

After sorting out the reason, Su Wang then began to walk with his feet raised, and Lu Xiangrui still followed by his side.

"But after all, he has been a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy for fifteen years, and now he should be able to follow the work, and our health has become more and more poor in the past two years, and if he suddenly leaves, there is no one who can take over our class. ”

Lu Xiangrui's face showed a very serious look of thought, and he didn't nod until he walked out of the palace.

"It's really almost, people of our age should also think about the afterlife, but it's not just my apprentice, your son and the scholar from Jiangnan you like can also do things. ”

Su Wang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Can't compare, can't compare, Su Ruyu's kid has only been an official for a few years, not to mention that Lu Dongshu, the time to come to the capital is only a year, although these juniors are very aura, but they have the courage to weigh on them, if they can't pick it up, they can only be crushed, while we still have a few years to live, this burden is still given little by little." In addition, there are some other good seedlings in the court who will also start to move in the past two years. ”

"What do you think of Qi Baihe?"

Su Wang stopped himself again, and after thinking for a while, he found someone who matched the name in his mind.

"You mean the official who suddenly became rich because of reporting Sun Liufang?"

"Exactly!"

Su Wang began to frown and think again, but no matter how much he searched in his mind, he couldn't find any great things that Qi Baihe had done in the past two years.

"In my memory, this Qi Baihe doesn't seem to be unusual, in the past few years, An An has also done his own work, although he has done a good job, and he has indeed picked some good reading seeds for our Dachu, but in the final analysis, it is the talent to be in charge of one household at a time, and this should not be in your eyes!"

At this time, Su Wang couldn't see it clearly, only to see Lu Xiangrui smiling mysteriously.

"Old boy Su, you have been shrewd all your life and forgot what it is like to be honest for too long, for Qi Baihe, honesty is his greatest advantage, and there is one thing I want to tell you, when he was just a small test taker, he could only do his job as a foreigner, but after becoming a secretary of the ministry, he could do his job as a scholar, and under my observation, he had not yet reached the point where Jiang Lang was exhausted. ”

Su Wang frowned, he really couldn't figure out the meaning of Lu Xiangrui's words, is this the trend of pulling Qi Baihe up? But if it goes up again, it will be the position of the chief of the three stations, and it can be regarded as a real entry into the center of the imperial court.

"The surname is Lu, do you mean that you want to leave a place for him in the future three governors?"

Lu Xiangrui didn't nod, his next sentence could really be said to be shocking, because even Su Wang's heart was pounding with fright from his words.

"Tell me, if I have the audacity to put him in the position of Da Chu seamstress, will he still be able to do his job as a seamstress?"

Lu Xiangrui stretched and continued.

"Actually, I'm looking forward to it!"

Lu Xiangrui's face was relaxed, but Su Wang's eyes widened next to him, and his eyes were full of incredulity.

"The sewing craftsman, surnamed Lu, you want to leave your place to him! But in my opinion, that apprentice of yours is the best candidate! This Qi Baihe really can afford to be so valued by you?"

Lu Xiangrui seemed to have unloaded his burden, and chuckled.

"The apprentice I taught myself knows that I actually want him to get out of his own way, but he still stepped on my way in the end, which is not bad at all, as long as he follows the steps, it will not be difficult to keep it in the future, but because of this, don't think about any good progress, but Qi Baihe is different, mentioning him to the top is a big gamble for me, using my position as a master to gamble, betting that he can do as well as he does now after becoming a sewing craftsman!"

Looking at Su Wang's stunned eyes, Lu Xiangrui felt very funny, and patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Don't worry, it's far from the time to bet, and I haven't made up my mind whether to bet or not, maybe I won't play his handicap if this Qi Baihe makes me unhappy behind." ”

Su Wang came back to his senses, he actually knew that although Da Chu's current situation was good, it still needed to be changed, otherwise the two of them would not have spent this effort talking about those young people here, so after the initial surprise, he was not so disgusted with Lu Xiangrui's gamble at this time, maybe this Qi Baihe was really a good sewing maker?

Regardless of whether Lu Xiangrui wants to bet or not, this Qi Baihe will not run away anyway, the two looked at each other as if they thought of the same person, and Su Wang opened his mouth before Lu Xiangrui.

"To be honest, I can't see through him, sometimes he acts like a rotten Confucian, but sometimes he thinks he is talented, and in the past few years, Jinghua Academy has not become better and better in his hands, but the emperor has never wanted to take the academy back from him. ”

mentioned Jinghua Academy, then the person they thought of at the same time was clear, naturally it was the mountain chief Cao Huabin who went to Jiangnan to play for half a year on the first day of taking office.

Lu Xiangrui touched his beard and then spoke.

"To be able to be personally said by his ancestor that the last sentence of knowledge is no longer below him, so I think this Cao Huabin's knowledge is naturally there, but he has never been an official, is he really smart to the extreme, and he has no teacher to figure out the problem that we took decades to figure out!"

Su Wang couldn't see through this person, so naturally he couldn't open his mouth to comment, so after thinking about it, he could only say this.

"Let's just wait, there will always be a day when he will take out his true skills, our emperor is also a sharp person who doesn't see rabbits and eagles, if Cao Huabin has always been unwilling to show his talent, or he is simply a person who sells his reputation and reputation, at most he will die of old age in his life and will not make any progress in the position of mountain chief. ”

Lu Xiangrui thought about it for a while, and felt that Su Wang's words were very reasonable, and Chu Zheng was not a fool, he would not put too important a position in the hands of someone he didn't understand.

"Then according to this calculation, we will all determine the central team of the imperial court in the future, put aside the eccentric Cao Huabin and don't think about it, in addition to Cheng Yijie's most important Shangshutai among the three, we have to snatch the central order in He Ren'an's hand to divide it!"

Su Wang nodded this time and didn't speak, but his thoughts had already drifted into the distance secretly.

There is a small county named Hualiu in this Bianzhou, and its county guard has just been in office for a year, and his name is Shi Linwu!

However, everything in the world can be as good as it should be, and Su Wang's heart is beautiful but it is easier said than done!
