Lu Gong's words were like an awl, which deeply pierced Lu Yijian's chest.
Lu Yijian's face became more gloomy.
Seeing that Lu Yijian’s face became more ugly, Gong Lu hesitated to ask: "The court actually allows this kind of people to live..."
Like Kou Ji, who had the power to overpower the master and affected about 70% of the officials in the court, in other dynasties, there was almost no hope of survival.
He is immortal, and many people in the ruling and the opposition have trouble sleeping and eating.
But now, in a dynasty that sought to usurp the throne, Kou Ji is not only alive, but also alive.
Lu Gong is really unimaginable.
Lu Yijian glared at Lu Gong, and murmured: "If you don't let him live, can you let him die? You are all furnishings when you are in the army, and you are all furnishings for Kou's protege? You? Are the people of the day Kou's favor for nothing
People like him are invulnerable unless they go the wrong way.
If the court really wanted to kill him, it had to be prepared for a big chaos. "
When Lu Gong heard this, his face became ugly.
"Father, according to your statement, we can't help Kou Ji? We have done so hard, or should we watch Kou Ji riding on our head?"
Gong Lu couldn't help asking.
Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and said: "If Fan Zhongyan produced any Shangshu, then Kou Ji would most likely be riding on our heads."
Lu Gongzhu said without hesitation: "Then don't let Fan Zhongyan publish any books."
Lu Yijian questioned angrily: "Can Fan Zhongyan publish a book? Is that what I can call the shots? That is something that officials can call the shots. Your father, I am just a matter of the same school, not the general regent! "
Lu Gongzhu lowered his head in Lu Yijian's angry voice.
Lu Yijian did not let him off, and continued to shout: "If Fan Zhongyan hadn't entered the court, I would still be able to deal with it. Now Fan Zhongyan has been summoned into the palace by the officials. Even if I want to stop it, I can't do it. ."
Gong Lu hung his head and said nothing.
Just when Lu Yijian was about to say something more, the door suddenly came to report.
"Master, several people from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Households are here...
Lu Yijian was getting angry. Hearing these words, he said impatiently: "Go and tell them, I will say that the master is sick and I don't see guests..."
Without asking, Lu Yijian knew what the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Households were doing at this time.
Fan Zhongyan has entered the palace, and he can't control everything about Fan Zhongyan.
Officials from the Ministry of Etiquette and other four departments came to the door at this time, but they were looking for nothing.
Hearing what Lu Yijian said, the door hurriedly responded and prepared to go back to talk.
Just two steps away, Lu Yijian called out from behind.
"Forget it, let them in."
Lu Yijian sighed helplessly.
By now, people are panicking.
If he doesn't see him, it is hard to guarantee that those people will not give birth to other thoughts and turn each other.
He still needs to see it and settle the hearts of the people.
Even if one of them couldn't keep the position, he still had to appease one or two.
Hearing what Lu Yijian said, the door hurriedly turned around and responded, and then hurried to the door to lead people.
After leaving the door, Lu Yijian snorted to Gong Lu and said, "You can entertain people for me first, and I'll change my clothes."
Lu Yijian didn't wait for Gong Lu to agree, but after leaving this word, he decisively crossed the screen and entered the back hall.
Not long after Lu Yijian left, the door led Han Yang and others into the main hall of Lu Mansion.
When Lu Gongzhu saw the incoming person, he adjusted his heart and greeted him too much.
"How many people came to the house, why?"
Gong Lu asked slightly, arching his hands.
Headed by Han Yang anxiously roared: "Something has happened, don't you know? The official summoned Fan Zhongyan to return to Beijing, and now he has entered the palace."
Gong Lu pretended to be taken aback: "Fan Zhongyan is back?"
"No!"
Han Yang said anxiously: "Fan Zhongyan will return to Beijing, and the officials will inevitably entrust them with important tasks. But now there are no vacancies in the six departments of the court. Although there are vacancies in the political affairs hall, Fan Zhongyan is not qualified.
Therefore, 80% of the officials had to choose one of us to dismiss, and then let Fan Zhongyan top it.
Fan Zhongyan is Kou Ji's person, if let him replace any of us.
Na Kou Ji's manpower in the six titles will suddenly exceed half.
At that time, as long as someone starts, the sound of Kou Ji's return will form a wave and drown us.
Everything we did before was wasted. "
When Lu Gong heard the words, he pretended to be surprised and said: "So serious?"
Han Yang hurriedly said: "Maybe it is more serious than this, so we urgently need Lu Xiang to pay attention and give a countermeasure."
Gong Lu solemnly said: "I already know about this, everyone, sit here for a while, I will tell my father."
Han Yang and the others were anxious and wanted to find Lu Yijian with Gong Lu.
But due to etiquette, he still resisted.
Just urged in a hurry.
"Go and come back soon!"
Gong Lu bowed before bowing out of the main hall.
Han Yang and several people were pacing anxiously in the main hall of Lu Mansion, while craned their necks and looked behind the screen.
Several people waited for a long time before Lu Yijian slowly walked out from behind the screen.
When Han Yang saw Lu Yijian, they hurried forward.
"Lu Xiang, something has happened."
Lu Yijian waved his hand indifferently, and said, "What are you going to panic, it's because I'm holding it when the sky falls."
When Han Yang saw this, they were slightly taken aback.
Gazed at each other.
Song Shou, Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette, hurriedly said, "Does Lu Xiang have a countermeasure?"
Among the few people, Song Shou, Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites, was the most stressed.
Because he felt that if Fan Zhongyan was going to be in the sixth department, he would have the greatest chance of replacing him as the Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette.
So he is very concerned about this matter.
Lu Yijian did not answer Song Shou's words, but the Da Ma Jindao sat on the main seat and waved his hand casually: "Sit down and say..."
Seeing this, Han Yang and others could only suppress their uneasy hearts and sat on the left and right sides of Lu Yijian.
After Han Yang and the others settled down, Lu Yijian slowly said, "I have heard Saburo talk about the specific matters. The officials will find Fan Zhongyan to return to Beijing, and they must be reused.
It is likely to replace any of you. "
Han Yang and the others nodded together almost without hesitation.
Lv Yijian continued: "Once Fan Zhongyan is out of any department, our strength in the courtroom will probably be greatly reduced. Kou Jiwei will follow the trend and appear in the courtroom."
Han Yang hurriedly said: "It is precisely because of this that we rushed to see Lu Xiang. If Kou Ji wants to take advantage of the trend to appear in the court, it will be your Lu Xiang's position.
All of us are worried for you. "
Lv Yijian sighed faintly, and said, "If the official wants me to give way to Kou Ji, I won't die and hold on to that position."
When Han Yang and others heard this, their hearts jumped.
Lu Yijian said this, is this already giving birth to retreat
You Lu Yi briefly retired. What about those of us who followed you to prevent Kou Ji from appearing in the court
Lu Yijian seemed to see through the minds of Han Yang and others, and he slowly said: "But you don't have to worry, even if I give up my position, it won't make Kou Ji feel better.
Fan Zhongyan's entry into the DPRK did affect your status.
But for you, it may not be an opportunity. "
Han Yang and the others were taken aback when they heard the words, staring at Lu Yijian together, waiting quietly for the following.
Lu Yijian continued: "There is still a vacancy in the Zhengshitang. If you can't keep your position, you can climb up.
Cheng Cai Qi in the Imperial History has enough qualifications and credits.
Cai Qi's voice was the loudest when someone applied to the scrivener Jia Ting to participate in political affairs candidates.
If the officials let Fan Zhongyan out of any department, we will take advantage of the situation to invite the officials and once again discuss candidates for political affairs.
At that time, we will recommend Cai Qi together and send Cai Qi into the political affairs hall.
When Cai Qi entered the political affairs hall, the position of Yushitai became vacant.
When Fan Zhongyan replaces whoever, we will ask the official to appoint who is Yushi Zhongcheng. "
After Lu Yijian had finished speaking, Han Yang and others felt quite settled.
If it is true according to Lu Yijian, then Fan Zhongyan's publication of any book will have little effect on their status.
When they arrive, they will either be promoted or promoted.
Although he lost a position of Shangshu, he got a position to participate in political affairs.
In this way, their right to speak in the court will not only not be weakened, but will be strengthened.
After all, a book in the same middle school, plus a reference to political affairs, has a much greater right to speak than a book in the same middle school.
After Han Yang and the others settled down, Han Yang couldn't help but said: "In this way, we have nothing to lose. But if Kou Ji appears in the court and takes your place, then you are left with the old man."
After Zhang Zhibai stepped down, although some people in the court had nominated candidates to participate in political affairs, some key figures remained silent.
Because they knew that position was given to Kou Ji.
Later, after learning that Kou Ji's goal was not to participate in the political affairs position, but the position of Ping Zhangshi under Tongzhong Shumen, that position became the position reserved for Lu Yijian.
Prevent Lu Yijian from losing ground to Kou Ji.
Specially reserved a place for Lu Yijian in the political affairs hall, so that Lu Yijian can advance and retreat in an orderly manner.
It's just that Lu Yijian now gave up this position.
Once Kou Ji is in power, he can only tell his old man to return home.
With the current posture of the heroes in the court, once Lu Yijian returns to his hometown, I am afraid that the hope of recovery will become very slim.
Lu Yijian felt very uncomfortable in her heart, but her face was very free and easy, "You will be old when you are old, and Saburo will be able to take advantage of the trend after he is old.
If you are willing to help Saburo, maybe Saburo can rejuvenate my Lu family lintel. "
When Han Yang and others heard this, the expressions on their faces were very exciting.
They look at me one by one, and I look at yours.
Seeing this, Lu Yijian said with emotion: "You believe in me and follow me. I can't let you suffer. If someone has to suffer, then I will be the one who suffers."
Han Yang and the others gave their hands together.
"Lu Gong Gaoyi..."
"When necessary, I will give a hand to Master Lu to thank Master Lu for his kindness today."
"..."
Han Yang and the others said solemnly.
Lv Yijian laughed, "Why don't you thank me? I waited to be an official in the court. I didn't have much meritorious service, so I could only rely on each other to keep warm.
Today I will wait for Goer, and tomorrow will wait for Gosaburo.
Only by supporting each other can we go further.
If we renounce our virtues, we will only be trampled on as dung. "
When Han Yang and others heard this, they were deeply moved.
Those of them who hadn't made a formidable feat were really no way to compare with the enchanting evildoers such as Kou Ji.
If they didn't hug each other to keep warm, the end result would be to be squeezed into the corner of the corner by Kou Ji's evil spirits.
Just when they lower their heads to love and pity themselves.
The steward of Lu's house suddenly rushed into the main hall and shouted loudly: "Master, sir, there was news from the palace that the officials appointed Fan Zhongyan as the director of Yizi Jiaozipu and supervised all matters concerning Yizi Jiaozipu. "
This news is undoubtedly great news for Lu Yijian.
Although Lu Yijian's face was calm, her heart was full of joy.
Fan Zhongyan was not appointed as a Shangshu, but instead was sent to Yizijiaozipu.
Although Yizijiaozipu is very important to today's Great Song Dynasty, Yizijiaozipu has never been an official government office, and its management personnel never interfere with the government affairs of the court.
Yizijiaozipu is just a royal property.
Fan Zhongyan's appointment as the general manager of Jiaozipu in any word is equivalent to becoming a royal private official similar to Chen Lin's.
It seems that the amount of money under his control is staggering, but there is no way to participate in politics.
Just like the Ministry of Internal Affairs knows Chen Lin, he controls everything about the first person in the Song Dynasty. It can be said that he has great power, but he is full of ways to participate in politics.
Whenever there was a large court meeting, he could only stand beside Zhao Zhen and listen quietly, unable to speak.
Once Fan Zhongyan became the general manager of Yizijiaozipu, his general situation would be the same as Chen Lin, and he could no longer speak up in the court.
Lu Yi Jianqiang asked the steward according to his joy, "Has Fan Zhongyan agreed?"
"Back to the master, I promised..."
"Heh... uh... you go down first..."
Lu Yijian almost laughed. He wanted to ask Fan Zhongyan if he was fainted before agreeing to accept this kind of errand.
Didn't he know that no matter how well he did this kind of errand, he couldn't be counted in the official account
Does he think the great future is too good
Lu Yijian coughed twice, concealed the voice that he had just laughed in a gaffe, and said to Han Yang and the others: "Since the officials have not asked Fan Zhongyan to publish any of the books, you don't need to worry about your position being robbed."
Han Yang and others breathed a sigh of relief like Lu Yijian.
After calming down.
Han remembered what Lu Yijian had just said, and couldn't help asking: "Gong Lu, do we still need to recommend Cai Qi to the political affairs hall?"
Lu Yijian froze for a moment, thought about it, gritted his teeth and said: "Push! But it can't be now! You urge others to recruit them as soon as possible.
After all the troops are fully recruited, we will then recommend Cai Qi to the officials to serve as a member of the government.
Then recommend someone to take over Cai Qi's position.
With credit, we recommend people to get twice the result with half the effort.
What we have to do now is to firmly occupy the position of Chaozhong and not give Kou Ji a chance. "
Han Yang and the others looked at each other, and Qi Qi agreed.
The most exciting one is naturally Han Yang.
Once Cai Qi took office as a member of the political affairs, and someone in the Shangshu was transferred to Yushi Zhongcheng, then he would be able to publish any Shangshu.
Now the six are extremely powerful.
Once he has become a Shangshu, he doesn't have to look down on others anymore.
After Lv Yijian accompanied Han Yang and the others to discuss the details, he asked them to make preparations quickly.
After Han Yang and the others left, Lu Yijian said to Lu Gong: "You are ready to go to any minister."
Gong Lu looked at Lu Yijian in amazement, and said, "Father, do you plan to recommend Han Yang as a Shangshu?"
Lu Gong's work is not a stupid person. Although he didn't say it clearly just now, it can pass Lu Yijian's words. Lu Gong's work can easily judge that Lu Yi briefly supported Han Yang in the upper position.
Lu Yijian didn't hide it, and nodded lightly.
Gong Lu lost his voice: "Han Yang went up, but he couldn't sit still."
Lu Yijian and Lu Gong knew how many catties Han Yang had.
Han Yang had previously recruited soldiers in Jiangning Mansion. Not only did he fail to recruit soldiers and horses, he was calculated to be unable to get out of the yamen by the big family of Jiangning Mansion.
After Lu Gongzhu left, he cleaned up the rich and powerful Jiangning Mansion with three punches and two kicks.
The superior and the inferior can be distinguished clearly at a glance.
Lu Yijian glanced at Lu Gong and snorted: "Everyone has everybody's usefulness. If he is not incompetent, how can he show that you are capable?"
Gong Lu was stunned for a moment, then hesitated: "Father, you weren't..."
Lu Yijian didn't wait for Gong Lu to finish speaking, she stared and said: "Before you were not allowed to be promoted because Kou Ji said that you have no people in your heart.
Now letting you get promoted is forced by circumstances.
I'm still in the court now, I can help you as much as I can.
However, once I leave the court, whether you can sit down firmly depends on you.
When you want to sit in the middle of the dynasty and tell the old man, you have to do everything possible to put the people in my heart.
Otherwise, how I put you up, Kou Ji will put you down.
Although Kou Ji and I don't have much friendship, we still know Kou Ji.
Although Kou Ji has to report his flaws in his work, he is very tolerant of useful talents and likes to promote them.
More importantly, he never cared about the origin of the talent.
So as long as you put the people in your heart, Kou Ji will eliminate the prejudice against you and use you well. "
After listening to Lu Yijian's words, Lu Gong gritted his teeth and said, "My Lu family, do I need to please him Kou Ji before he can enter the court?"
Lu Yijian sneered: "If I leave the court, can you stand firm in his hand?"
"But you haven't left the court yet..."
"It's just a strong support. Even if Kou Ji doesn't snatch me, I will have to hand over the position of the same book to him one day.
Because he is younger than me..."
"..."
Time is an enemy that no one can deal with.
Young people will always have more opportunities than old people.
"Hey… "
Lv Yijian sighed long, did not speak any more, and left the main hall with his hands on his back.
The city of Bianjing, which was full of tension before, calmed down instantly because of Fan Zhongyan's appointment as the general manager of Yizijiaozipu.
It's just that undercurrents are still surging from behind.
For a period of time thereafter.
Lu Yijian stayed at the house and did not go out.
Lu Yijian’s disciples are constantly urging recruiters from all over the place to recruit as quickly as possible.
At the beginning, Lu Yijian thought about recruiting another 600,000 civilian husbands, and gave Zhao Zhen a satisfactory answer.
But after he sent people to start recruiting, he knew that the larger the number of recruits, the harder it was.
The people he dispatched had already worked hard just to make up the amount Zhao Zhen needed.
It is impossible to recruit another 600,000 civilian husbands.
Fortunately, Lu Yijian didn't say enough in front of Zhao Zhen at the time, otherwise he might be overwhelmed.
Just when everyone is paying attention to the position of the court, and the recruitment of troops in Jiangnan, Hedong and other places.
In a very secret small courtyard behind the total number of Jiaozipu in Bianjing City.
A small yamen with the word "Tax" was born quietly.
The day of birth.
Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji, dressed in plain clothes, rushed to the small courtyard one after another.
The small yard is tightly guarded.
There are many secret guards inside and outside.
When Kou Ji started, he was stopped by the password twice before being put in.
As soon as you enter the small courtyard.
I saw a group of people dressed in black quietly busy.
Zhao Zhen was sitting in the main hall of the small courtyard drinking tea.
Fan Zhongyan was busy flipping through some documents and files that Zhao Zhen gave him.
When Kou Ji started, he woke up Fan Zhongyan who was busy. Fan Zhongyan wanted to get up and salute, but was stopped by Kou Ji waved his hand.
Kou Ji wanted to salute Zhao Zhen, but Zhao Zhen took the lead in beckoning and let Kou Ji sit next to him.
After taking it to Kou Ji to settle down.
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "The students of the fourth brother are all outstanding."
Kou Ji glanced at Fan Zhongyan and said with a smile: "Why did the officials say this?"
Zhao Zhen said with emotion: "The people I sent to local merchants to sell taxation rights have returned. The Fuzhou under the rule of the fourth brother students is the smoothest.
Especially Bohai Mansion.
As soon as my people arrived at Bohai Mansion, they were discovered by Bao Zheng.
Bao Zheng brought them to Su Xun.
Su Xun didn't say anything, but decisively handed over the business taxation power that the court handed over to him.
And let them bring me words and let me set up a tax office in Bohai Prefecture as soon as possible.
Otherwise, Bohai Mansion would consume millions of business taxes every year. "
Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Su Xun is young, and he is a little arrogant when he does things. Please don't blame the officials."
Kou Ji's words are defending Su Xun.
This guy Su Xun spoke to no one big or small.
It doesn't matter if you talk to Kou Ji like that. But talking to Zhao Zhen like this, do you think the official career is too long
Zhao Zhen shook his head and sighed: "I am not afraid of the arrogance of my officials. As long as they can do things for me and serve the people, they will follow the example of Kou Gong, pulling my sleeves and forcing me to listen to their advice. , I will greet you with a smile.
I have the capacity to tolerate people, but there are too few officials in the world who can do things.
Even fewer can threaten me with millions of dollars.
So far, I have met Su Xun alone.
Not only do I not blame him for being arrogant, I even think he should be arrogant.
He should write me a melodrama with great fanfare and threaten me.
Let all officials in the world see how this official should be. "
