I studied in modern times

Chapter 143

In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, the fifth month of the fifth lunar month was Hai (the seventh day of the lunar new year).

Lu Gong's feet stepped on the bank of the Bian River.

On the high embankment, hundreds of laborers are carrying bags of goods, heading towards the stacking yard on the other side of the embankment.

Taiping cars are already queuing up under the embankment.

There were no officials to direct or maintain order.

All Lu Gong saw were the young men in green and brown clothes, holding sticks and urging the workers and Lifu.

Division Bank has indeed become a thing of the past!
Now, there are only stacking yards and transshipment yards that were bought by big households in Bianjing.

I also didn't see the officials of the Municipal Affairs Bureau checking, collecting and collecting taxes in the stacking yard.

It seems that everything seems to have returned to before Xining.

Lu Gong stroked his beard and nodded.

"My lord..." His son, Lu Xizhe, led the horse and got off the boat.

Yuan Sui picked up their bags and carried the bookcase.

The officials who accompanied them to Beijing had already started a guard of honor.

A Bachelor of the Zizheng Palace!

Doctor Yinqing Guanglu!

Read it!

The founder of Shangzhu Kingdom and Dongping County!

Together with the guard of honor, the whole pier and inside and outside looked sideways.

Lu Gongzhu and Lu Xizhe had already mounted their horses, surrounded by Yuan Suihe Yiwei and opened the way, all the way forward, heading towards Bianjing City.

……

Baoci Palace.

Zhao Xu sat beside the Empress Dowager, like a good baby, 'learning' how to deal with military affairs from the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

Stacks of memorials were processed and turned into orders, which were sent to three provinces and two prefectures.

Then it was issued to the prefectures and counties of the world by the Minister of Shangshu and the Privy Council.

There are some personnel arrangements mixed in between.

Of course, most of the things have actually been dealt with by the three provinces and departments.

The two palaces also looked at it, and even just flipped through it to show that they knew it.

Otherwise, even if they were exhausted, it would be impossible for the two of them to handle the affairs of the world well.

And the sound system established over the past dynasties also allows them to rest assured that the three provinces and the department will deal with it-under a sound system of grammar, bureaucrats may do wrong things, but no one can override their powers and obtain power that does not belong to them .

Not even the prime minister!
The upper and lower constraints and checks and balances make the chief executives only do things within the scope of the rules.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty had no powerful ministers.

If there is, it must be the end of the imperial power.

And once such a powerful minister loses the support of the emperor, he will be besieged by groups in an instant.

So after Wang Anshi's second visit to the prime minister, he felt that the support he received was not half as good as before, so he immediately resigned without hesitation.

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, everyone..."

Zhang Mao did not know when he would appear in front of the curtain.

The Empress Dowager raised her head and asked, "Zhang Du knows, what's the matter?"

"Just now the General Secretary sent a document, saying that Lu Shidu had already entered the capital, and he handed over a post at the gate of the imperial city to seek justice..."

When the two palaces heard the words, they were all happy.

"Sixth Brother, Lu Shibao has entered Beijing!" The Queen Mother Xiang said happily to Zhao Xu.

The Empress Dowager also said: "Grand Lu's entry into Beijing is very good! Very good!"

"The old man has been thinking about him these days!"

Sima Guang was only in the Jiayou and Zhiping eras, because Li Chu and Pu Yi made the Empress Dowager feel good.

But Lu Gong's work is different.

The Lu family in Shouzhou, since Lu Mengzheng, has been the darling of the Song court.

Not only the emperor liked this family, but also the empress dowagers in the harem, and the empresses also established a deep personal relationship with the wives of the Lu family.

However, Lu Gong's work and his late brother Lu Gongbi are obviously well-known to be the true ancestor and father.

In terms of status and contacts in the palace, after Han Qi's death, no one can match her.

Neither can Wen Yanbo!

Can Wen Yanbo send people into the palace from time to time to give the empress dowager the whole chicken from Bozhou?Send Hanoi donkey jerky to the Queen Mother?

Lu Gong can write it!
And give it once a month!
This is what Zhao Xu saw with his own eyes.

On the fifteenth or sixteenth of every month, the local specialties sent by the Lu family were brought into the palace through the ministers.

So, the Empress Dowager discussed with the Empress Dowager.

I also specially picked a good day for Lu Gongzhu - see you at Renwu (the tenth day of the lunar month) this month.

At the same time, an edict was issued to Lu Gong who entered Beijing to write, adding a title of palace official-Xitai First Palace Envoy.

Zhao Xu obediently listened to the two palaces constantly praising Mr. Lu, and kept smiling.

It's just that sometimes, I will take a look at Zhang Maoze who is outside the curtain.

"Old thing!" Zhao Xu cursed in his heart: "In the future, you will look good!"

Zhao Xu knew that Zhang Maoze, an old man, had been doing bad things in the palace since Xining's reform.

He is also very courageous!

Sima Guang was known as the Red Banner of the Old Party.

He calls himself 'Ouchi Red Flag'!
So he was not only in Zhao Xu's previous life, but when Zhao Xu was sick, he controlled the Royal Medicine Academy to prevent the imperial physician from entering the palace, until Cheng Yi lifted the cover, and then reluctantly sent the imperial physician.

Even as early as the Xining era, this old thing was restless.

He was the mastermind behind the dismount of Wang Anshi's Xuandemen—no one knew about it at first, but during the Yuanyou era, he was so complacent that he admitted it.

Not only that, the reason why the veterans of the old party in the Xining era can speak out every time is because this old thing is connected behind their backs!

This is no ordinary old thing!

pity……

Zhao Xu can't move him now!

Because, this old thing is a close minister of Ci Sheng Guang Xian, and Ci Sheng Guang Xian left it to the Empress Dowager.

Just like Zhao Xu's father left Liu Weijian to him.

Therefore, Zhao Xu was very clear in his heart.

This old man is probably planning to ask Mr. Lu to reconcile the relationship between the two palaces and Sima Guang.

You have to ask why a courtier would be so bold?
Other courtiers, maybe not.

But Zhang Mao definitely has, not only has, but he is very big.

In Renmiao's later years, Renmiao shouted in the palace: Zhang Mao is rebelling.

There is no way to lose this old thing!
Han Qi and Wen Yanbo even turned to comfort this old bastard who was pretending to hang himself.

……

Duke Lu rode out of the imperial city.

"Where is Sima Twelve now?" He asked Lu Xizhe beside him.

Lu Xizhe kept his mouth shut and did not speak.

Lu Gong didn't bother to pay attention to this rebellious son, so he directly told a Yuan Sui beside him: "Go and find out, where is Sima Twelve now?!"

"Then, send my invitation to Sima Twelve..."

The hairpin tassels of the Lu family have been in Bianjing for generations, and they have their own titles bestowed by the emperor in Bianjing!
Not only is the specification higher than that of the county king, but there are five hundred thresholds before and after!And it is the most bustling and lively Yulin Lane in Bianjing, and at the same time, the land price is the highest!
"No!" Na Yuan accepted the letter of greeting from Mr. Lu, and immediately took the order to leave.

Lu Gong turned his head, looked at Lu Xizhe, and scolded: "Nizi, why don't you go home quickly and order your servants to arrange a banquet?"

Lu Xizhe reluctantly cupped his hands and said, "I will obey your lord's order!"

Lu Gong snorted, and then ordered: "Remember to send greeting cards to Wen Kuanfu, Zhang Andao, and Feng Dangshi's mansions for me!"

"By the way, Han Zihua and Han Chiguo Kunzhong are also invited!"

Lu Xizhe nodded silently.

He was an admirer of Wang Anshi and a supporter of the new law.

Over the years, he has been an official with Naifu everywhere, and he has seen the effectiveness of the new law with his own eyes, so he supports him even more.

Therefore, he spoke good words about the new law in Naifu's ear every day.

Lu Gong listened, and although he cursed every time, it was obvious that his tone had changed significantly in recent years.

only……

Lu Xizhe also understood that his father was always against the new law.

In particular, there are criticisms and opinions on the market change method, the horse protection method, and the even transfer method, as well as the other young crop methods, the exemption method, and the exemption method.

Oh……

It's all gone now?
Han Jiang and Han Xianggong are also presiding over the review of the labor law?
Do you want to invite Han Xianggong to the meeting today?

That's fine!

Lu Xizhe happily rode his horse towards the old house in Yulin Lane.

Lu Gong looked at Nizi and shook his head: "If you dare to follow Lu Jia's example and ask that bastard, I will... then..."

Do you follow Lu Gongbi and scold the house thief?
It seems inappropriate.

He has only two sons. The eldest son Lu Xizhe has been serving him by his side.

So, why is he willing to beat and scold his son who has been following him?

Not to mention imitating Lu Gongbi, scolding Lu Jiawen and expelling him from the "Lu family tree".

……

Wen Yanbo looked at Lu Xizhe who was respectful in front of him.

"Uncle Hui is planning to become a peacemaker?" He asked.

Lu Xizhe cupped his hands and said, "Don't dare...don't dare..."

"Jia Yan just remembers the grand master, and wants to catch up with the grand master and ask for advice!"

Wen Yanbo smiled, and said, "Old man, I will definitely attend the appointment tonight!"

Lu San, an old guy, he didn't know yet, he was good at dancing, so he definitely didn't have any good ideas tonight.

Maybe they will use him as a raft.

"This old man is already 80 years old..." Wen Yanbo sighed, "I still want to be used by others!"

But, there is no way!

Even if Lu San is not given face, Lu Wenjing (Lv Yijian) and Lu Huimu (Lv Gongbi) have to give face.

Besides, Wen Yanbo knew very well that Mr. Lu would definitely visit the prime minister this time when he came to Beijing.

Cai Que will go out to know the place only after Cai Que's envoy from Shanling returns to Beijing.

Then Han Jiang will succeed as the left prime minister logically, and the vacated right prime minister position is written by Lu Gong.

After Yuanfeng reorganized, the prime minister on the right was the actual prime minister!

reason?

In addition to power, in Zhongshu province!
……

Lu Xizhe left Wen Yanbo's mansion and arrived at Han Jiang's mansion without stopping.

After handing over the greeting card, I met Han Jiang.

Han Jiang was very enthusiastic about him.

"Have Mingyuan been to Jiangning before entering Beijing this time?"

Lu Xizhe immediately shook his head like a rattle, and regretfully said: "The family is strictly forbidden..."

"But fortunately, I got a letter from Mr. Jiefu..."

"Oh!" Han Jiang laughed and asked, "Who did Uncle Hui invite tonight?"

Naturally, Lu Xizhe would not hide anything, so he said everything.

After hearing this, Han Jiang smiled and said, "Very good! Very good! This old man is about to share the old stories with all the elders!"

After he came to Beijing to visit the prime minister, he didn't have many opportunities to communicate with those elders.

The censors are watching closely!

If you are not careful, you will be labeled a big hat!
But it is no problem for Mr. Lu to invite guests and hold a banquet.

Whether it is the two palaces or the young master, it is impossible and will not doubt that the Lu family will form a party with others.

This is a trust built over generations!

　I didn't wake up until the afternoon today, so tired!
