Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 408 The Inspector Was Rejected

Luo Yan hesitated.

To be honest, Luo Yan is actually willing to do lectures.After all, with so many reputation points as motivation, it would be false for him not to be tempted.

But one problem he is facing now is that he is a little hesitant about the content of the lecture.

After three months of mourning in front of Lu Deming's grave, Luo Yan has roughly sorted out the books he has read over the years.It's not that he is arrogant, I'm afraid that when it comes to learning now, he is no less than some great Confucians.

But here lies the problem.

Great Confucians must have their own set of cultural thoughts.It can be said that it is an overview of the predecessors, and it is unique.These people have gone through a lot of tempering before they are recognized by the world.

During this period of time, Luo Yan also had his own ideological system, so at this time, he really wanted to speak out his own set of ideas.However, he is only in his early thirties, and he is really too young to start this path.

As long as he speaks out his theories, he will definitely be under heavy pressure from scholars.

If you can persevere, you will naturally become a great Confucian.However, if you can't hold on, it will be completely over.

Even with the system in hand, Luo Yan still hesitated.

There are many great figures like Yang Shuo in Jiangnan Shilin.Although he doesn't show up on weekdays, once he encounters something like himself, he probably will all jump out.

Gritting his teeth, Luo Yan decided to accept Yang Shuo's invitation.Anyway, sooner or later, you have to suffer such a knife, why wait until all the really powerful Confucian scholars are old, and then use time to improve their qualifications.

After making up his mind, Luo Yan put away the prudence and surprise on his face, smiled slightly, and bowed his hands to the old man Yang said: "Mr. Yang is so kind to invite, Luo Yan naturally dare not refuse. Since you want to be in Suzhou, then It will be half a month later."

Luo Yan didn't dare to say nonsense like tomorrow.

There is no room for mistakes in what you want to do.This half month is not only the time left for scholars and great scholars from all over the world to come, but also the time he left for himself to carefully sort out the thoughts in his heart.

Yang said that he saw Luo Yan's hesitation and struggle, but he also saw Luo Yan's final decision.Knowing that Luo Yan would definitely go all out, he was naturally satisfied.

He is already old, and Luo Yan's reputation will not be able to rise to a new level just because of his few words.The only way to use this method is to use his own influence to gather Jiangnan Shilin and give Luo Yan a chance to make his mark.

That's exactly why Yang said he made the request.

"In that case, when I go back today, I will send letters to old friends all over the south of the Yangtze River. Half a month, I think it is enough for them to reach Suzhou." Yang said, nodding his head, and then smiled at Luo Yan : "Okay, since the question has been asked, I, the old man, will go back first. Prepare well."

After rejecting Lu Dunyi and Luo Yan's persuasion, the old man was caressed by Song Hao and left the Lu residence.

After returning to the main hall, Lu Dunyi asked Luo Yan eagerly: "Jinzhi, do you need to prepare something for this lecture? But I have an order, and I will send my servants to do it. For such a big event, it must be prepared perfectly. .”

Although Lu Dunyi himself has never given lectures.But over the years, I have also heard how my uncle became famous.

At the beginning, he learned from the later Chen Guozi, and argued with the Confucians in his weak years, and only then did he gain his posthumous status.What Luo Yan is going to do now is actually the same as what Lu Deming did back then.

Luo Yan was also a little moved by Lu Dunyi's concern.During this period of time, Lu Dunyi was too busy to touch the ground because of the affairs of Moxiangju.And pay attention to the little things.

"Second brother, don't be so anxious. The biggest preparation now is to sort out what I think in my heart. How about this, I will study hard at home for ten days. During this period, no matter who comes, the second brother will block it for me That's it."

This is obviously another thing that offends people.

But Lu Dunyi heard that the governor of Suzhou is said to be on his way to Wu County.Looking at this schedule, it is obvious that my parents and officials will be turned away just like those scholars.

Although he had a bitter face, Lu Dunyi still didn't hesitate: "Since you arranged it like this, then I'll just block it for you. Well, this time I followed you and offended most of the people in Jiangnan."

Such complaints just showed that Lu Dunyi didn't take these things to heart.

After bowing respectfully to Lu Dunyi, Luo Yan returned to his room.At this time, what Luo Yan needed was not to continue studying, but to have a good sleep.

The news that Lu Dunyi got was indeed correct.

Zhang Henglu, the governor of Suzhou, is the official post of the fourth rank.When Luo Yan first arrived in Suzhou, he had already received the news.And he came to Wu county as soon as he got the news.

It's a pity that Chang Le was the only one I saw, because Luo Yan had already gone to mourn for Lu Deming at that time.

During the filial piety period, no outsiders were seen, and Zhang Henglu did not stay in Wu County for long.In my heart, I made plans to come again.

No, upon hearing that Luo Yan returned to the Lu Mansion in the past few days, Zhang Henglu immediately handed over the affairs in his hands to Chang Shi, and hurried to Wu County.

Zhang Henglu is a princeling.Earlier, because Li Shimin loved Li Tai too much, Zhang Henglu, who was the head of the selection department of the Ministry of Officials, wrote a letter angrily. As a result, not only did he not get any good money, but he was reprimanded by Li Shimin for a while.Later, some of Li Tai's party members impeached him with an excuse, so he was demoted by Ming Sheng and secretly, and demoted from Chang'an.

The reason why he came to see Luo Yan in such a hurry was that, on the one hand, if Luo Yan, a duke-level lord, came to his territory, it would be really unreasonable for him not to meet him.Another reason is that the prince has done a lot of naughty things recently, and Li Shimin reprimanded him many times.

Those old gentlemen in the East Palace gradually became unable to suppress the crown prince. As the crown prince, Fang Xuanling had no choice but to secretly entrust a letter to Zhang Henglu half a month ago, asking him to tell Luo Yan to hurry up. back to Beijing.

It is precisely because of such a mission that Zhang Henglu came to Wu County again and again.

No, the boat was pressed hard, and it took only one day to reach Wu County.This time Zhang Henglu didn't hug like before.Instead, he was dressed in casual clothes, which gave him a more Confucian temperament.

Bringing a guard and driving a carriage to Lu's mansion, Zhang Henglu politely handed over the card.

During this time, many people came to visit Luo Yan, but without exception, they were still rejected by Lu Dunyi.Although they were told that they would meet in Suzhou half a month later, many people were still quite upset.

On the other hand, the people of Wu County like to sit in the teahouses and restaurants near the Lu Mansion and watch the scholars suffer.

When Zhang Henglu handed in the greeting card, there happened to be a large group of people staring at him.

"Brother, tell me, this guy is not stupid. It has been two days since the news of Lu's house seeing no foreigner has spread in Wu County, and he still has the courage to hand in the greeting card. How stupid and pathetic."

"I just want to see if, after being rejected, he will yell at Lu's gate like the young man before."

"Looking at how old this person is, he shouldn't be so impatient. But, how many times is this rejected?"

"It should be the No.40 three..."

Obviously, these spectators are doomed to be disappointed.With such a prominent status, the gates of the Lu Mansion naturally couldn't stop him.But after a cup of tea, under the surprised eyes of everyone, the middle door of the Lu residence suddenly opened.

Then the head of the Lu family came out, bowed politely to the scribe in his forties, and then led the way ahead, leading the scribe into the gate.After that, with a creak, the door closed again, completely blocking the sight of the spectators.

"Shadow, there is shady..."

"Yeah, why did he get in so easily when I was turned away?"

Regardless of the identity of the person who came, many scholars who had been rejected before suddenly started to make trouble.The surroundings of Lu's residence seemed to be ignited by fire in an instant, and the burning object was the vermilion gate.

At this moment, a shout came from a different place: "You don't want to have a future. Do you know who just went in? It's Zhang Gong, the governor of our Suzhou. If the Lu family refuses even his old man Outside the door, that is unreasonable."

"what?"

Amidst bursts of screams, the scholars who were about to rush to the Lu residence immediately returned to their actions.It was as if everything had never happened.Only by constantly asking each other for verification information can it prove that a farce has just happened here.

But Zhang Henglu, who was cared by hundreds of people, was not as happy as outsiders imagined in the main hall of the Lu family.

The reason has already been said, he was also rejected.

Thinking about what Fang Xuanling said in the letter, Zhang Henglu was so anxious that he roared in his heart.

Actually, he still has to wait seven or eight days to see Luo Yan.Moreover, after seeing him, he couldn't be urged to return to Chang'an immediately.Lectures in Suzhou will take at least three or four days.If there are many people coming, it may take ten days and half a month.

Such news was like a bolt from the blue to Zhang Henglu.

"Master Lu, is there any way for me to meet Duke Cheng in advance." Zhang Henglu was still unwilling and tried to get a feasible solution from Lu Dunyi.If he didn't know the way, he would have wanted to force his way.

"Mr. Zhang, if the matter is urgent, you might as well leave a letter and send it in when the servants bring the food in." Lu Dunyi had an expression on his face that I can only help you get here, which made Zhang Henglu hesitate.

The matter is of great importance. Whether to leave a letter or not is a question.

After thinking about it, Zhang Henglu gritted his teeth, took out a letter from his pocket, asked Lu Dunyi for wax, sealed it again, and then solemnly handed it to Lu Dunyi: "This matter is too urgent, it can only be done like this. Please forgive me, Master Lu. In addition, the letter must be handed over to Chen Guogong, otherwise, your Lu family and I will die without a place to bury you in the future."

To act in a hurry, the only way to make Lu Dunyi understand the weight of this flimsy letter is to use this kind of false intimidation.
