As the saying goes, a dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and the son of a mouse will be impressed.
With a daughter as petty as Pan Kui, how could Pan Nanzhang be a broad-minded person?
Could it be that... he is planning some big move?
"It's better to be careful."
Lu Fang said quietly.
When Lu Liang heard this, he just glanced at Wang Shouxing.
If he could give Pan Nanzhang some leverage, it could only be Wang Shouxing. But he had already reported Wang Shouxing, and even said that Wang Shouxing was a bandit who surrendered. Pan Nanzhang didn't say that just now.
What.
After sitting here for a while, Lu Liang went to find Xu Jingnian.
Xu Jinnian is undoubtedly the wise man around him.
Even the major matters related to rebellion were handled by Xu Jinnian. There were some things that even Lu Liang didn't know about.
Lu Fang also followed.
Xu Jingnian's room is still messy.
Lu Liang, after Lu Fang knocked on the door and entered, Xu Jinnian was not surprised at Lu Liang's return. He just chuckled, "The eldest young master is back. Has Jiedushi been there?"
"Been there."
Lu Liang replied.
Xu Jinnian asked again: "What did he say?"
Lu Fang inadvertently saw Pan Nanzhang's name written on a piece of paper among the scattered papers on the ground.
"In the ninth year of Jianchang, Li Qihua, the then governor of Tanzhou, wrote a letter to impeach Pan Nanzhang for his overbearing style and nepotism in the Jingnan County army. In the same year, Li Qihua was dismissed for practicing favoritism, and the person who wrote the impeachment letter was Pan Nanzhang."
This made Lu Fang feel slightly moved.
Lu Liang replied: "He said that he had reported my military exploits to the court truthfully and asked me to wait for the court's reward. He also praised me for my ability in running the army."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but ask Xu Jingnian: "Grandpa Xu, why do you think Pan Nanzhang suddenly changed his attitude towards us since the princess came forward for Xiao Fang?"
Xu Jinnian stroked his beard and said quietly: "I originally thought there were three possibilities. Either Pan Nanzhang was generous and really cared about the princess's face. Even if the young master was deprived of his cultivation by Prince Rong, he would not
I am willing to antagonize you again. Either there is someone else above secretly standing up for you, or... Pan Nanzhang just wants to stabilize you on the surface. How is the memorial he submitted written?
, only he himself knows."
"And after my recent research on Pan Nanzhang's behavior in the past years, the former is no longer possible, leaving only the latter two."
The implication is that Pan Nanzhang is definitely not a generous person.
Lu Liang frowned slightly, "Other than the princess, who else can speak for us?"
He thinks this possibility is not high.
Lu Fang thought of Yu Yuanwei and asked, "Could he be my teacher?"
Xu Jinnian shook his head and said bluntly: "Although your teacher is now the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he may not have such dignity. Moreover, with his character, he should not speak for you on this kind of matter."
Lu Fang nodded, "I did ask the teacher for help before, but he refused."
"Then there is only the third possibility?"
Luliang Road.
"Not necessarily."
Xu Jingnian said: "In Tanzhou, there is a person whose face is definitely much greater than that of Yu Yuanwei."
"Rong Wang Liang Shi?"
Lu Liang blurted out.
"Isn't this possible?"
Lu Fang listened and wondered: "Can Liang Shi put in a good word for us?"
But Xu Jinnian's expression became extremely solemn, "If this is the case, then we are really in danger."
Lu Liang and Lu Fang both looked at him eagerly, full of confusion.
Xu Jinnian had no intention of continuing, he just waved his hand and said: "You guys can go out first..."
He was like a scholar studying hard in a cold window, immersed in studying within this small space.
It's just that what I'm studying is the situation in this world.
Both Lu Liang and Lu Fang knew that since Xu Jinnian didn't say anything, it must be because he was not sure yet. The two brothers looked at each other and walked out of the room with doubts.
Outside, Lu Fang said: "Did Grandpa Xu find something fishy? But I can't figure out why Liang Shi wants to speak for us."
Lu Liang sighed softly, "Grandpa Xu knows his own way. Let's just wait for the news."
After saying that, he glanced at Xu Jingnian's house, his face was full of complicated expressions.
Ever since he was sensible, Xu Jinnian has often shut himself in his room like this. Over the years, Xu Jinnian's appearance has aged very quickly.
He didn't know how long Xu Jinnian's body could last.
Anyway, Lao He said that Xu Jinnian was overdrawing his vitality in advance.
He had tried to persuade Xu Jingnian before, but unfortunately, Xu Jingnian didn't listen.
…
The return of Lu Liang and Lao Xiao, and the addition of Wang Shouxing and Jiang Zimo, made the courtyard more lively.
But for Lu Fang, life has not changed much.
Except that Wang Sidong often brought Tang Ziping to drink with him, and now that Jiang Zimo joined him, he still had a lot of free time every day.
This made his progress in copying "Eight Parts of the Sky" very fast, and now, he has almost finished copying the entire book.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.
The New Year's Eve is not far away.
This will be the first Spring Festival that Lu Fang will spend after traveling to this world.
At this time, the awards and appointments for Lu Liang and others from Kyoto were finally announced.
It was actually issued by the Ministry of War under the Shangshu Province.
The general idea was that Lu Liang had made great achievements in suppressing bandits and was quite talented in running the army. Then he appointed Lu Liang as the deputy military envoy of Tongchuan County, and also took charge of the recruitment envoys of Chengdu and Tongchuan counties.
This is worth pondering.
Deputy Jiedushi, this is a practical position. It is a fourth-grade feudal official, and its status is second only to Jiedushi, pacification envoy, transshipment envoy and other officials.
In this appointment document, Lu Liang was also asked to lead the recruiting envoys of Chengdu and Tongchuan counties.
Obviously, the deputy governor in front of him was just a false post given to him. It was probably because he was expected to command Chengdu and Tongchuan's troops would be more convenient.
Such appointments cannot be said to be careless. They must have been carefully considered, and the trust and expectations for Lu Liang can be seen in every word.
Although it was issued by the Ministry of War, it is impossible for Liang Hanmin not to have seen it.
So what was the reason why the Emperor of Dayu had such high hopes for Luliang?
When Lu Liang was called to Pan Nanzhang's place, he took the document and returned to the courtyard. Lu Fang knew the news and fell silent.
All he could think of was that Pan Nanzhang really reported Lu Liang's military exploits truthfully. He might even have spoken kindly for Lu Liang and claimed a lot of credit.
According to Lao Xu's previous speculation, if Pan Nanzhang was so abnormal, it could only be because someone really greeted him from behind.
Otherwise, if Pan Nanzhang wanted to hold back some bad moves, there would be no reason for Lu Liang to rise to prominence so easily.
Deputy Jiedushi!
Or the two counties are recruiting envoys.
A senior official with real power from the fourth rank.
And he will no longer hang out in Tanzhou from now on. Pan Nanzhang can't punish him even if he wants to.
