I studied in modern times

Chapter 322 by Lu Gong: Now we can only count on Wang Jiefu...

When Lu Gongzhu returned home, it was almost evening.

The cold wind was blowing on the streets of Yulin Alley, and the soldiers of Kaifeng Prefecture were patrolling the streets in front of Yulin Alley.

Seeing him coming back on horseback, surrounded by Yuan Sui, he quickly stepped aside.

However, the two newsboys were very courageous. They approached tentatively and shouted: "Today's Bianjing News - Jiaozhi thieves Yuan Zheng invaded our territory during the festival and killed and plundered the officials and people! Our newspaper commentator Hu Feipan made a sharp comment on this Review!”

Mr. Lu listened, his brows twitching.

I didn't want to pay attention to it, but after hesitating for a moment, I still told Yuan Sui to buy a copy of "Bianjing New News".

It still smells like ink when I hold it. It is obviously a tabloid that has just been printed.

Lu Gongzhu's inner worries became even deeper.

So who is the person behind the so-called "Bianjing News"?

In fact, no one in the capital hall is stupid.

I had already vaguely guessed something about it.

It’s just that I don’t have any evidence and I don’t dare to talk nonsense.

Therefore, now everyone in the capital actually reads the "Bianjing News" privately.

Some people even pinched their noses and copied down the words about Hu Feipan.

What for?
Naturally needless to say!

Mr. Lu took the Bianjing Newspaper and returned home, where his family immediately greeted him.

But when everyone saw Lu Gongzhuo's face, they were too understanding and didn't ask any more questions.

Just welcome him into the inner house.

However, Mr. Lu didn't even change his clothes and went directly into the study, only asking Lu Xizhe to follow him in.

As soon as he entered the study, Lu Gongzhu asked Lu Xizhe: "Sima Junshi is ill today... If you went to Junshi's house to visit, have you ever inquired about Junshi's condition?"

"Your Excellency..." Lu Xizhe also noticed that Lu Gongzhu's expression was not good, and immediately corrected his attitude: "Sima Xianggong's condition is not good... I heard from the imperial doctor that it was due to overwork, and the old illness has not been cured... "

"I'm afraid I need to rest for more than ten days before I have a chance to recover..."

Lu Gongzhu sighed.

Sima Guang is really sick!

Although in the past, he always felt that Sima Junshi was too stubborn and stubborn and did not know how to adapt.

But what he saw in the capital hall today made Lu Gongzhu miss Ma Guang.

If Sima Guang were here, given his temper, he would definitely go against the opinions of the Prime Minister and the two palaces and insist on telling the officials in front of the emperor that they could not touch the border.

In this case, only he can say it, dares to say it, and is willing to say it.

Lu Xizhe observed Lu Gongzhu's expression and asked cautiously: "Sir, do you think that the capital, the two palaces, and the officials all want to go to war?"

Lu Gongzhu nodded and said: "The palace has already issued a decree. Di Zijia will lead the Yulong Division to set off early..."

Lu Xizhe's eyes suddenly lit up.

Xinfa and those who like Xinfa have one common characteristic - the pursuit of frontier achievements and the expansion of territory!
This is the reason why the New Party has been continuously supported by scholar-bureaucrats.

This is also the reason why it is increasingly difficult for the old party to attract young people.

the reason is simple.

One advocated opening up territories and restoring the Han and Tang Dynasties.

One just wants to survive, under the pretext of recuperation, and is extremely afraid of war.

If you were a young person, who would you choose?

It was Lu Gongzhu and Sima Guang, back when they were 20 years old.

They will also switch sides and join Wang Anshi's camp!
This is why the new party will prevail.

The new party has the support of most young scholar-officials - at least externally!

Lu Gongzhu glanced at this unfilial son and said: "Don't be too happy too early, there is still time for everything, and everything can still turn around!"

It is never a simple matter to send an army to war.

Even if this army only has 5000 people, even if they will march in the hinterland for a long time.

But all aspects involved, as well as various logistical supply arrangements, are a huge and cumbersome project.

It requires close cooperation between the Privy Council and the East Government to plan the route.

At the same time, support and supervision from local places along the way are also needed - otherwise, these Qiu Ba may cause trouble to the local areas!
What kind of virtue do warriors have?
Lu Gongzhu is very clear - he has been a privy envoy!

Lu Xizhe said yes repeatedly, which made Lu Gongzhu feel a little better.

At least, this traitor still knows how to coax him!
However, Lu Xizhe quietly came up to him and asked, "Sir, has the capital hall decided on the candidate for the minister who will go to Guangxi this time?"

Naturally, it is impossible to let a military minister serve as the commander of a large army.

Civil servants and officials, even if they are stuffed, they have to be stuffed in!
Otherwise, how to demonstrate the Song Dynasty’s ancestral system of using culture to control military affairs?

Mr. Lu looked at Lu Xizhe and wanted to curse in his heart, but he still didn't want to curse out. He just said angrily: "It's either Li Bangzhi or Zhang Zihou!"

In the Zichen Palace, the candidate has indeed not been decided yet.

However, Li Qingchen and Zhang Dun could already be seen in the palace - they were both eager to try.

They all feel that little Jiaozhi is within reach!

This made Lu Gongzhu worried.

A arrogant soldier will be defeated, this is a lesson from ancient times!

This is also the reason why the Song Dynasty was defeated countless times!
Too proud, thinking that the enemy is vulnerable!
Sanchuankou, Haoshuichuan, Dingchuan Village, Luowu City, Wulu Faxia, Yongle City...

It’s all about pride!

Thinking of this, Lu Gongzhu suddenly sat up straight, looked at Lu Xizhe's face, and asked, "Are you going to write a letter to Wang Jiefu?"

Lu Xizhe was shocked and quickly denied: "Sir, my son and Mr. Jiefu have always exchanged poetry and prose! They have never spoken about the affairs of the court!"

Mr. Lu sneered.

Every time this traitor wrote to Wang Anshi, he mainly asked for advice on poetry.

But what about poetry?Mr. Lu didn't believe it. How could Lu Xizhe not show off to Wang Anshi what he had seen in Bianjing?

"I don't care what you and Wang Jiefu are talking about..."

"If you still have a conscience, go back and write to Wang Jiefu and tell him about the army's upcoming southern expedition!"

"Let Wang Jiefu admonish and restrain Li Bangzhi and Zhang Zihou!"

Now, we can only count on Wang Anshi in Jiangning City to warn people who may leave Guangxi - don't be proud!Pride dies quickly!

This is also the only thing Lu Gong can do besides trying his best to persuade the soldiers to stop the troops and reconcile the mud in the court.

After all, he is a minister.

If the official family, the two palaces, and the court have all decided to send troops.

Then he can only cooperate, can only help, can only assist.

This is also the way of being an official in the Lu family.

You can object and delay in advance, but once it becomes a national policy, you must fully cooperate!
Just like Han Wei Gong and Fu Han Gong back then.

"Go!" Lu Gongzhu said angrily as he looked at Lu Xizhe's rapidly changing face.

As if he had been pardoned, Lu Xizhe immediately said happily: "I obey!"

The old father actually allowed him and Mr. Jiefu to report the court affairs? !
Then you won’t have to act like a thief anymore!

It made him, Lu Xizhe, seem to be Lu Jiawen!
Lu Gongzhu looked at Lu Xizhe's figure, shook his head, and gave a helpless smile.

"That's all...that's all...children and grandchildren will have their own blessings!"

He could only comfort himself like this.

So, I picked up the Bianjing Newspaper, put it in my hand, and read it with the help of an oil lamp.

Then, his expression became more serious.

Because, the Bianjing Newspaper in hand, the front page headlines, not only the full text of the side report of the Nongzhihui was published.

It even used a prominent headline to report this matter, which they, the governors, had only recently learned about: Jiaozhi thieves, Yuan Zheng invaded!

"Switch the concept!"

Mr. Lu said in a deep voice.

He saw the sinister intentions of this tabloid at a glance.

In mid-December, when Jiaozhi was invaded by Japanese invaders, the world moved to the day of reporting for entry into Beijing.

Of course someone like him can see through the tabloid's intentions.

But what about the general public?

Especially those in the capital and Guizhou?
Isn’t it just what others say? !

This is an old trick used by rural households to fool the people, and it is not unusual at all.

However, Mr. Lu knew how terrifying this move was!
I am afraid that after tonight, most people in Bianjing will be convinced of a lie - the Jiaozhi thieves brazenly invaded the Song Dynasty's borders on the first day of Zhengdan of the Song Dynasty, the first day of the new emperor's accession to the throne and the change of Yuan Dynasty. The officials and people of the Song Dynasty.

The nature suddenly became extremely serious!
At the same time, with the news, it expanded from Bianjing to all directions.

Maybe, this lie will become the truth in the ears of the public!
It even became a text in history books.

And there was nothing he could do but watch it all happen.

Because, when the Bianjing New Newspaper began to publish it, it started to be sold in Bianjing City.

This matter is like a wild horse running wild and can no longer be controlled.

Mr. Lu took a deep breath and continued reading.

Then, he saw the comment of the guy named Hu Feipan.

The comments are still made in vulgar vernacular and slang.

But it clearly clarified the context from the Southern Expedition in the eighth year of Xining to the present.

It introduced in detail that after the war, the late emperor returned Shunzhou, Silangzhou, Guangyuanzhou and other places to Jiaozhi out of benevolence, compassion and sacred heart.

Then he changed the topic and described in detail the atrocities and massacres committed by the Cochin invaders.

Finally, that Hu Feipan said: The late emperor treated the traitors with great virtue, but only in exchange for the traitors rebelling again and again!

Lao Hu heard that Wei Zheng said to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty: Yi and Di are afraid of power but not moral. It is indeed like this!

Lao Hu believes that now, only iron and blood can make the Jiaozhi thieves recognize the reality!
Only the swords and axes of the Song Dynasty official army can let the world know that the Song Dynasty not only has rituals, music, poems and books, but also the power of armor, bows and crossbows!

Lu Gongzhu looked at these words and closed his eyes.

He knew that even today Sima Guang did not report being sick at home.

Even if he and Sima Guang were in the Zichen Palace today, they blocked the official's decision to send troops.

After these words spread inside and outside Bianjing City.

Everything is irreversible.

The war has begun!

Thinking about this, Mr. Lu stood up.

Then spread out the paper and start writing the memorial.

The previous experiences of the Privy Council came to mind.

The experience and knowledge of being an official in Yangzhou also emerged in my mind.

One opinion after another, one suggestion after another, keep writing.

At this point, he had no choice but to fully cooperate and support the imperial court's use of troops.

Now that the matter has come to this, he must do everything in his power to help the court win this war!
I just hope that we only need to mobilize [-] forbidden troops to defeat it, instead of mobilizing troops and mobilizing troops and increasing the burden on the people like in the eight years of Xining.

I only hope that the people of Jiaozhi will understand and agree to the imperial court's will.

At least he should respectfully send an envoy to apologize.
