Chapter 907 Xu Fengnian was visiting the academy and discussed the changes in the Liyang Dynasty.
Of course, the officials in the capital did not know the old Lu family tragedy, and only regarded it as a normal reminiscence of the friendship between fellow villagers. Moreover, the Qingzhou officials in Tai’an City have long been known to the court and the public. Perhaps the two Qingzhou officials in the east and west of the city will definitely gather to greet each other every ten thousand times. This is an incredible and strange thing to the eyes of other factions in the officialdom. The Beijing guild halls in other states are often neglected, but the four guild halls in Qingzhou are almost full of guests every day. Regardless of their identities, high-ranking officials, scholars, merchants, and wanderers, they are mixed with all kinds of people and are content with their families and are content with their own sermons. They never mind the reputation of the officialdom and the scholars, nor do they care about being ridiculed as profit-seeking people. So when Lu Xu openly proposed to “remind the past” with Hong Lingshu, no one in the capital was surprised.
Only Hong Lingshu felt a chilling palpitations all over his body for no reason.
Once this “accidental” meeting was reached in Qingzhou, Wen Taiyi’s most suspicious old fox could really continue to work diligently to help pave the way for him
But Lu Xu was smiling and couldn’t tolerate Hong Lingshu breaking his face on the spot and refuse the invitation.
Hong Lingshu could only grit his teeth and walk side by side with Lu Xu, gradually distanced himself from others. Hong Lingshu then found that there was a middle-aged eunuch wearing a python waist standing quietly in the distance behind the two. The distance was appropriate, and he could not see Lu Xu, but could not hear the two people talking. Judging from the clothes alone, the eunuch in the palace was not low. The moment he met with Hong Lingshu’s sight was obviously due to Lu Xu. The middle-aged eunuch smiled at Hong Lingshu with a little kindness, which shocked Hong Lingshu even more. There were several people in this dynasty who could make a python eunuch treat it so cautiously.
No wonder Wen Taiyi was so afraid of Lu Xu and did not hesitate to use a large number of Qingzhou connections to secretly block Ma Zhongxian’s career, and in exchange for him, Hong Lingshu stared at Lu Xu as a deal.
Lu Xu, who could not see the world, was slow and stepped on the bluestone path step by step. Every time he touched the edge of the road, he would immediately adjust the direction in time to keep the road ahead unobstructed.
Hong Lingshu was filled with mixed feelings when he saw this scene.
Such a young blind man can achieve today’s success, and his luck will be
Lu Xu did not speak, and Hong Lingshu was unwilling to speak on his own initiative.
He and Wen Taiyi, as the young party members who have been standing in the temple of Liyang for more than 20 years, are fearful of this person, but if you say that you are too afraid, you won’t be too afraid.
The poor man in white, one of the diligent chief masters of the room, finally said calmly: “I, Lu Xu, are in today’s situation, and the Qing Party has made great contributions.”
Hong Lingshu said silently.
Lu Xu suddenly stopped and turned to face the equally prosperous General Hong Lingshu of Pingnan: “Although Mr. Wen was not the culprit in the past, he could not refuse the blame. I will calculate it with him.After a while, General Hong and Minister Wen are old friends, so you might as well convey it to him word for word. “
Hong Lingshu’s momentum was not at all, and he asked back: “Since Mr. Lu and Wen Taiyi are now the same rank as the same dynasty, Mr. Lu is the diligent chief steward who teaches the meritorious children of our dynasty. Do you want to steal national weapons to repay personal grievances?”
Lu Xu laughed silently and said seriously: “A gentleman can deceive his way, but it is hard to do anything wrong with his way. “
Hong Lingshu was stunned and didn’t know how to answer.
Lu Xu laughed at himself: “What’s more, I’m not a gentleman, otherwise how could I survive in those years? So that my mellow family tradition in Lu was completely ruined by me alone.”
Hong Lingshu sneered: “Mr. Lu means, Mr. Hong must help me retell. If there is nothing else, then I will say goodbye! “
Lu Xu shook his head and chuckled softly, “If we just asked General Hong to help convey a few resentful words that were inconsequential, why should I take the risk of suspicion of forming a clique for personal gain and meet you under the nose of His Majesty the Emperor?”
Hong Lingshu was so amused and crying after hearing this. Your Lu Xu’s words are not considered “no pain or itchy”. Maybe the old fox Wen will be unable to sleep or eat after hearing this.
Lu Xu said slowly, “General Hong and I have no old grudges and death, and we are also fellow Qingzhou. In addition, the current trend of the court in supporting the Qing Party is that the general trend, so I, Lu Xu, should follow the trend. Regardless of the civil officials in the temple, I only talk about the military generals of this dynasty. The scholars in Jiangnan had Xu Gong, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War. The wealthy families in Liaodong were originally swaying, and I don’t know how to choose between Tang Tiexhuang and Lu Shengxiang. As a result, after today, Lu Shengxiang was no longer the one who could bet on the condescending bets, so I could only choose Tang Tiexhuang, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War. “
Hong Lingshu nodded subconsciously.
Lu Xu continued, “I believe General Hong has heard of it. The real leader of the Shilin in Jiangnan Road is the hometown of the Gumu Xu family, Yu Jiankang, Shangzhu Kingdom. This person not only has a word in the officialdom of Jiangnan Road, but also has great connections in Tai’an City. Even a big boss like Tantan, who is enough to influence the direction of the temple, has a close relationship with him. Tang Tiexhuang is now intentionally or unintentionally alienating Cai Nan, Dong Gonghuang and others. The fundamental reason is that she still wants to distance herself from Gu Jiantang. As far as I know, Zhao Yang, the prince of Changshan County, and Yang Wei, both looked at Tang Tiexhuang with admiration, and recently, the Duke of Yan State, Marquis of Huaiyang, has also been quite close to Tang Tiexhuang. Zheng’s four generals already have Wu Chongxuan, the Minister of War, Lu Shengxiang, who is already in his pocket, plus Xu Gong and Tang Tiexhuang…”
This is already the four people divided the four seats.
So when he said this, Lu Xu laughed and lowered his voice: “I dare to ask General Hong, I think it is difficult for Wu Chongxuan, who has a first-rate martial arts body, to live for another twenty years.”
The implication is that General Hong, who can only wait for General Wu Chongxuan, who can die of old age and illness, can only take advantage of the situation. If there is no accident, he will have to wait for at least twenty years.
Hong Lingshu’s face was gloomy.
Lu Xu said a distracted sentence: “The commander of Jing’andao is not the Minister of Personnel in Tai’an City.”
Hong Lingshu also smiled: “But Mr. Lu is just one of the diligent chief masters of the noble status….”
Lu Xu nodded, and there was no further information.
Hong Lingshu only saw this young scholar closing his eyes and smiling intoxicatingly.
The last sentence of the young man was extremely low, but it was like the thunder rolling in Hong Lingshu’s ears.
“I, Lu Xu, can recite a secret letter of 682 words now. I, Lu Xu, can recite it backwards. The confidant who sends the message for the old minister…”
Lu Xu did not tell the secret, but when he turned around and left, the teacher raised his arm and stretched out a finger, and then gently quenched it.
After understanding the gesture, Hong Lingshu was sweating profusely.
Sima Puhua and Jin Lanting, the senior members of the Ministry of Rites, naturally walked together.
Sima Puhua didn’t have to go to see Jin Sanlang at all, just knowing that the second-in-command of the yamen would definitely not give him a good look. The unscrupulous thing, according to the original discussion between the Ministry of Rites and its own people behind closed doors, was to strongly recommend Jin Lanting to be the chief examiner of the spring exam next year, and Jin Lanting would also ensure that he would take care of his two sons, the Minister of the Shangshu, and at least one of them would be the position of the Imperial College Prison or the Minister of the Ministry of Rites in the future. However, as the Ministry of Rites became more and more powerful, Sima Puhua’s family threshold has become higher and his horizons have also become higher. Not long ago, he also became friends with Zhao Youling, the Secretariat of the Secretariat, who had always been above the top. Since then, Sima Puhua has become enlightened and is determined to change the situation where the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites is unclear. The thing that really made Sima Puhua decide was that he did not become the autumn newspaper official on the day of the beginning of autumn. At that time, everyone thought that the honor would compete between Jin Lanting and Yan Chiji, but almost no one thought that Chen Wang would win the championship again. If Jin Lanting was just a little inferior before this, then after this, no one in Liyang Court felt that Jin Sanlang could compete with Chen Shaobao for the position of future chief minister.
Today, the emperor spoke the four words “virtue and respect”, which completely extinguished Jin Lanting’s intention to occupy the top position in the spring exam.
But no matter how he viewed Jin Lanting’s jokes in his heart, Sima Puhua, who had been the Minister of Rites for a few years, even though he was a scattered official in the officialdom with almost complete merits, he still did not dare to hate this person on the surface.
After all, the powerful attitude that Jin Lanting has shown to Beiliang over the years is naturally praised when he gained power, and is praised as a strong man. When he loses power, he is just a matter of the matter. If a person is so forgetful, he actually sees it in the capital.
