Wei Shu

Lu Shen is beautiful and has little promise. Since he entered the court, he has become a hot marriage partner in Bianliang City. At that time, there are countless people who come to the door to talk about matchmaking. The family also had the idea of ​​marrying a daughter.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shen has always insisted on the saying of "first the country and then the family", and refused to let go of his marriage.

The official family is a person who cherishes talents, and he may feel that this son is worthy of great use. If he is the master, he will feel a little wronged, so he finally gave up his thoughts.

With the officials standing in front of him, Lu Shen relied on this even more, and rejected all the marriage proposals, without giving anyone face.

There was a little lady who loved deeply, and because she had to get married at the age, she got up a little bit crazy, and made a few romantic lawsuits that were not romantic, and Lu Shen became more determined, and said plausibly :

"I'm also doing this for the good of everyone. If I don't get married for a day, those little ladies will look forward to it for a day. Everyone has fulfilled their wish. Isn't it the best of both worlds? If I really get married, it will be a happy person and a lot of suffering." Home, how can I bear it?"

These words were spread, and some of those little ladies really believed in this fallacy, and only said, "Lu Lang misses me, and I should also miss Lu Lang", but a few of them were fooled again.

This was also a few years ago.

Now that Lu Shen really fulfilled his promise, and wasted year after year like this, Xu Qian had always regarded himself as an elder in front of him, so he naturally brought up this topic.

Hearing what he said, Lu Shen's whole body seemed to be covered in ashes all of a sudden, without the previous brilliance.

After a long while, he just slightly lowered his eyes, and said in a rambling voice: "The son of a criminal minister, how dare he start a family before he has lost his previous career?"

Xu Qian was startled, then suddenly flew into a rage, slapped the back of the chair with a "bang", and said angrily:

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Is there someone who doesn't have eyes full of nonsense? Just tell me, I will stand up for you!"

He had righteous indignation on his face, his two small eyes were round, and there was a rough gas coming out of his nostrils.

Lu Shen raised his head and glanced at him, his dark eyes seemed to be soaked in the night, bottomless:

"What's the big deal about being said a few words? Compared with the hundreds of thousands of people who died in vain, it's a crime for me to live in this world. Of course, everyone can say something about a guilty person."

His tone was very calm, and the expression on his face was very indifferent:
"After all, I, Mrs. Lu, committed the unforgivable crime and owed a debt that cannot be repaid. Even if I am reviled by thousands of people, I should accept it."

Xu Qian looked at him nonchalantly.

For a moment, the calm face in front of him seemed to reflect another face, with similar facial features and similar body shape, but very different aura.

In his memory, that person will never be like the young man in front of him, giving people a sense of helplessness, as if what he is facing is not a person, but a deep pool, a black hole, and he can't get to the bottom or see it. A glimmer of light.

After staring at Lu Shen in silence for a moment, Xu Qian stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said in relief, "Your father was in Yincheng..."

He seemed to be at a loss for words, sighed, the expression on his face gradually became empty, as if his eyes were covered by the past.

After a while, he said in a hoarse voice just now:
"In short, your father, your mother, your grandparents, and your brothers and sisters were all heroes who died in the city. What is the crime? The officials never blamed you, so why should you suffer? From now on, you can only talk about it in front of me, and don't mention it in front of others."

The lecture hall fell silent.

Then, Lu Shen's voice rang out.

"She guarded one side, but he failed to guard the soil. Even if he dies, he cannot escape the responsibility. My father is a guilty minister."

His voice was very low, but every word he uttered seemed to be encrusted with pieces of lead, and when it fell into his ears, it was extraordinarily heavy.

After finishing speaking, he suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Xu Qian, his calm lake-like expression seemed to be crushed by something.

"I am at odds with the golden man! Uncle Xu, do you understand me?"

He said this sentence almost earnestly, the word "Uncle Xu" was full of emotions that had not been expressed before, so thick that it seemed to be poured out.

"I know."

Xu Qian's eyes were burning, and he didn't dodge his gaze when he looked back, and even became a little fanatical: "That's why I came to you. I came to talk to you about this."

"Oh."

Lu Shen nodded, his tone didn't change, but the eager eyes turned cold in an instant.

At that moment, he looked at Xu Qian as if he was looking at a stranger.

Then, the corners of his lips curled up uncontrollably:
"What Xu Daizhi wants to talk about is to unite Jin to resist Liao? Or drive Liao to chase Jin? Or else Liao and Jin will fight each other, and my Great Song Dynasty will reap the benefits of fishermen and regain the old mountains and rivers without abolishing a single soldier?"

It could be seen that he was trying his best to restrain his emotions, but he still couldn't hide the sarcasm in his voice, or he didn't want to hide it at all.

"That's right." Xu Qian didn't seem to see his sarcasm at all, the expression on his face was extremely solemn, it could even be called solemn:

"I know you are opposed to this plan, but you have to look at the current situation in Song Dynasty. Don't talk about the famine and banditry on the two roads of Hebei, nor the plague of locusts and floods on the two roads of Li and Kui. Talk about the two roads of Jiangnan and Liangzhe.

This is the most affluent place in Song Dynasty, a land of fish and rice, with developed commerce and trade.But in the past few years, even the taxation of these two roads has been extremely tight. Only last year's tax was delayed until this summer to barely make up. I don't need to talk about the situation of the other roads. Someone wrote it, you should know better than me. "

He raised his hand violently, and that fat palm hit the back of the chair again with a "bang", which shook the entire hall.

"You and I are ministers in the same palace. You should know how weak our Great Song Dynasty is. With the current strength of Great Song Dynasty, can we afford to fight on two fronts?"

The fat on his face trembled slightly, his eyes were covered with red silk, and his expression was almost distorted:

"You are not a child anymore. You should know that the military's war consumes food and supplies the most. If there is not enough money and food to support it, what kind of battle will you fight? Now you come to tell me, where should these two things come from? Where did they come from?"

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, but the suppressed emotions seemed to explode violently, and the veins stood out on his forehead, and his appearance was a little frightening.

Lu Shen's expression was very indifferent, and his voice was so indifferent as if he was talking about something irrelevant.

"Xu Daizhi should just say what he got in exchange for the red carp pouch."

He said, flicking his sleeves, as if he had brushed off some invisible things.

The excitement on Xu Qian's face disappeared in an instant.

He looked at Lu Shen calmly, their expressions were exactly the same.

"The abolition of the FBI will no longer be mentioned."

After a long time, he said.

Thousands of words converge into one sentence, I'm sorry, I was wrong, crawl away...
