Lu Liang has truthfully reported Wang Shouxing's origins.
Pan Nanzhang did not use this incident to impeach Lu Liang. This further proves that Pan Nanzhang did not have the slightest intention to put on Lu Liang's shoes.
Apart from doubts, Lu Fang felt more solemn in his heart.
Things were indeed developing in the direction he expected.
Lu Liang was appointed as the recruiting envoy for the two counties with the most active rebel activities, which confirmed the rumors that Liang Hanmin planned to attack the rebels.
In other words, as long as Lu Liang takes office, he will be forced into a situation where he has no choice but to rebel.
Taking office after the year...
It seems that the time for rebellion is really not far away.
Lu Fang was even thinking about whether he would have the chance to go to Kyoto to participate in the examination again.
What can Liang Siqi do?
While he was silent, Jiang Zimo looked longingly at the document in Lu Liang's hand. He wanted to open his mouth to ask, but he felt keenly that the brothers were in serious moods, so he could only hold back.
Lu Liang's appointment documents came out, and he wanted to ask him how his appointment as an official was going.
"Let's go to Grandpa Xu's place first!"
After a slight silence, Lu Liang said.
Lu Fang nodded and followed him towards the courtyard where Lao Xu lived.
Lao Xu should be able to see more from this appointment letter.
Jiang Zimo looked at the two brothers walking out of the yard with eyes wide open, scratching his head.
Wang Shouxing looked on and just chuckled.
Go to Lao Xu's room.
Lu Liang said: "Grandpa Xu, my appointment has been confirmed."
Then he directly handed the appointment document in his hand to Xu Jingnian.
Xu Jinnian sat by the window sill, looking a little tired. After taking the document, he squinted at it.
He probably also has myopia or presbyopia.
Lu Fang's heart moved slightly as he looked at it.
During the last draw, he was lucky enough to get a lens grinding machine and a frame. Now he can make glasses.
He felt that he should get Xu Jingnian a pair of glasses if he had the chance.
In order to restore the former dynasty, Lu Liang and himself were actually worried most of the time. The one who really worked hard was the former grand master.
The atmosphere in the room seemed a bit solemn.
It was not until more than ten minutes passed that Xu Jinnian slowly put down the appointment document in his hand, but his eyebrows were furrowed.
Then, he sighed softly and said, "It seems... we have to make him this knife."
Lu Fang and Lu Liang were both a little confused when they heard this. They didn't know what Xu Jingnian meant.
Who is the "him" mentioned in his words?
And Xu Jinnian then gave an explanation that shocked the two brothers. He said quietly: "Actually, I was wondering before if there was someone behind us who was adding fuel to the flames, whether it was the eldest young master who was transferred to Youzhou to suppress bandits, or who was sent to Youzhou to suppress bandits.
When you are appointed as the recruitment envoy of Jingnan County, it seems that someone is deliberately leading the young master along this road. Now judging from this appointment letter, it is obvious that many people in the court are recommending you, the young master. If not, Tong
It is impossible to give you such a position as the deputy military envoy of Sichuan County and the envoy of the two counties."
Break the rules!
Lu Fang's heart moved slightly.
yes!
How long has Lu Liang been an official?
Before, he was just the magistrate of Ningyuan County!
And in just a few months, it was like riding a rocket directly to the position of deputy governor of the fourth rank. Without someone pushing from behind, this would have been impossible.
No matter how successful the flood control in Luliang was and no matter how powerful the bandit suppression was, it would still be impossible.
"There is also the matter of Pan Nanzhang suddenly giving up his grudges. Among those who may have such ability in Tanzhou, I can only think of Liang Shi."
Xu Jingnian continued.
"Why did he lead my brother along this road? And the Prince Rong's Palace has not been concerned about political affairs these years?"
Lu Fang couldn't help but interject after hearing this.
Xu Jinnian shook his head, his eyes a little complicated and said: "I underestimated His Royal Highness Prince Rong before, and I really thought that he had been willing to enjoy the glory and wealth in Prince Rong's palace for more than ten years, and he had completely lost the sharpness of the past.
. How can a person as sharp as him bow his head so easily? There must be many people in this court who have been secretly attracted by him. Compared to Liang Hanmin, perhaps he is the truly difficult enemy for us to deal with. "
"He wants to take advantage of the instability on the border and use us as a sword to cause internal and external troubles in Chongqing... But we don't even have a chance to resist. Just this plan, this strategy, so many years ago
It is not unfair for a famous general to lose at his hands."
"You mean..."
Lu Liang's expression suddenly changed drastically.
Lu Fang also seemed to have thought of something.
Xu Jinnian nodded slightly, "It's very possible that this is the case. He should already know your identity, eldest master, or he knows the origins of us people."
After these words were spoken, the three of them fell silent at the same time.
It's so shocking.
Even if I actually had this conjecture in my heart, I couldn't help but feel chills at the moment I revealed it.
Among them, no matter whose identity was known to Liang Shi, they would be in disaster.
Lu Fang also suddenly understood why Liang Shi did not allow him to date Liang Siqi. Perhaps it was not just because of Liang Hanmin's marriage wish.
As for why Liang Shi didn't kill himself, this is also easy to explain.
That's what Lao Xu just said, Liang Shi wants to use his people to make swords and stir up civil strife in the Chongqing court...
As for his purpose, there is nothing to figure out.
While the border areas of Da-Chongqing are unstable, they also want Da-Chongqing to have civil strife. What else can they have other thoughts besides seeking to usurp the throne?
After walking for a long time, Lu Fang said: "Grandpa Xu, isn't it possible that Liang Shi thinks my brother is talented, so he..."
He stopped talking before he finished speaking.
This is impossible.
If Liang Shi was interested in Lu Liang's talents, then he wanted to lead Lu Liang to the uprising, so there was no other way.
It's either coaxing or coercing.
And there are neither of these.
This can only show that Liang Shi knew that Lu Liang would rebel sooner or later. He was just creating opportunities for Lu Liang, and made Lu Liang have to go down this road.
He paused and then changed his words: "Do we just have to fall into Lu Liang's trap?"
"I'm afraid that's all we can do for the time being."
Xu Jingnian said: "If you don't go to Tongchuan, you will be disobeying the imperial decree. The young master cannot bear this kind of crime. Moreover, Liang Shi is sure that we will not miss this opportunity."
Lu Fang's eyes twitched, "But in this case, we will be completely led by him."
Xu Jinnian suddenly chuckled, "Actually, this is not necessarily the case. Liang Shi has such good intentions, he must have counter-intentions, and he probably doesn't take us as seriously as he does. He just treats us as chess pieces. And if we take advantage of this,
As the beacon fires on the border ignited, Liang Shi and Liang Hanmin battled wits and courage. They gathered the rebels from Tongchuan and Chengdu counties, and then let the rebels from all over the country come to surrender. When the struggle between the two brothers ended, no matter who won or lost, we
