The weather is getting slightly warmer and everything is full of life.
Lu Fang sat in front of the window of his room, studying "Civil Affairs" written by a great scholar in Dayu decades ago, and felt quite convinced.
People's hearts are indeed very complex things.
If it is not controlled, chaos will definitely occur and the country will not be a country.
And if it is controlled too strictly, it will become lifeless, which is not necessarily a good thing.
Lu Fang sniffed the spring breeze outside the window.
Fresh.
It still tastes so comfortable.
"Master, Mr. Su Yu and Mr. Su are here to visit."
Lao Li's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
This surprised Lu Fang.
Ever since they were invited to the Su Mansion to meet Su Yu, the two have not met again. The matter of the joint memorial has been laid out, and it seems that there is nothing to discuss again.
And Su Yu is probably the kind of person who doesn't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything.
Then why did he come?
But everyone has already arrived at the door, so there is no reason to miss them.
Lu Fang walked out of the room and followed Lao Li to the door of Yu Mansion.
Su Yu, who definitely deserves the word "gentle and elegant", was wearing a dark green shirt with blue cup pattern. He had an elegant demeanor and stood at the door with his hands folded.
"Master Su."
Lu Fang bowed his hands to Su Yu and did not follow the trend of calling him "Young Master Su".
There are many nobles in Kyoto or the children of powerful people who prefer this kind of title, but there are also a few who sneer at it. Su Yu belongs to the latter.
"Master Lu."
Su Yu returned the favor with a smile.
Lu Fang raised his eyebrows and said, "Please come inside?"
Su Yu shook his head and chuckled, "I won't bother you inside. I'm here to invite you out."
"oh?"
Lu Fang asked with great interest: "Where to go?"
Su Yu said: "Our Emperor Taizu of Dayu founded the country with force, so every year on this day, the princes, distinguished disciples, and a few ministers in Kyoto will go to the royal gardens in the northern suburbs to hold an interesting ceremony.
Contest. I thought that you probably had nothing to do in Yu Shangshu's house, so I came here to ask if you were interested and go over to see the excitement."
Lu Fang touched his nose and said, "Are you really just going to see the excitement?"
He had nothing to do with the princes in the court, so there was really no reason for Su Yu to come to him specifically to watch the fun.
Su Yu smiled and said nothing.
Lu Fang looked at Lao Li and followed Su Yu into the carriage.
Not for anything else, just because I should be able to see Liang Siqi again on this occasion.
When he got into the carriage, he asked directly: "Mr. Su, it must be those noble disciples who asked you to call me forward, right?"
He said with a slight wry smile, "We have competed twice in a row, and I asked myself that it is not impossible to win. Is this thing going to be over?"
"As expected, I can't hide it from you."
Su Yu smiled and said, "It is indeed Fan Boyian of the Qishan Duke's family who asked me to invite you."
Lu Fang frowned slightly.
Su Yu continued: "He came to me and asked me to invite you to watch the spring hunting. But from his words, I didn't hear that they meant to cause you trouble again. I fought with you before.
Most of those noble disciples have now left Kyoto to go to the army to gain experience. Of course, these people in Kyoto may want to regain some face from you, but I don’t think they will use any excessive means to show you.
The strength he showed is enough to win their respect."
Speaking of this, his eyes inevitably showed a bit of emotion.
Lu Fang turned out to be quite impressive in martial arts, no, he had extremely demonic strength. When he first heard the news, even he was quite surprised.
Among the young people in Dayu, whether it is civil or military examinations, court or martial arts, there are some geniuses who can surpass their peers.
But there are indeed very few people who can have considerable attainments in both literature and martial arts.
Su Yu, like him, has no extraordinary achievements in martial arts.
Even though he was reluctant to admit it, he had to admit that Lu Fang was much more amazing and talented than when he was at Lu Fang's age, and he was almost omniscient.
Lu Fang curled his lips, "Since you want to regain your face, you will still give me some problems?"
Su Yu smiled softly, "How can it be so easy to get them to recognize the favor they owe you? In fact, if you want to get closer to them, this is a good opportunity. These noble disciples in Kyoto are certainly angry.
Extremely high, but most of them are still willing to make friends with capable peers. If you can really become close friends with them, it will definitely be of great help to Mr. Lu in the future."
"Right."
As he said that, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Actually, I've always been curious. Mr. Lu, why do you want them to promise to owe you a favor? Is there anything you need them to do?"
Naturally, he had heard about the "favor" thing. But he couldn't figure out why Lu Fang needed help from those noble disciples.
Lu Fang looked at Su Yu and said, "Since you are helping them as lobbyists, the favor doesn't really matter."
Su Yu looked a little surprised, "Do you want them to help us with Princess Yongle's affairs?"
Lu Fang nodded and chuckled: "Based on your friendship with them, you probably don't need my favor, right?"
"Then you think highly of me."
Su Yu shrugged his shoulders unexpectedly, then sighed, and said helplessly: "I know there are rumors outside that the relationship between our Su family and the nobles is very good, and this is indeed true.
, but in fact, the close relationship is just because my grandfather holds the same position as them in the court. Personally speaking, my friendship with these noble children is actually very shallow. You know, their noble children have a deep relationship.
I mean, can you understand what I say?"
"able."
Lu Fang was just stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Political opinions and personal relationships are two different things.
Su Yu touched his chin again and said: "This idea of yours is really good. If even noble disciples like them get involved, then the possibility of the Emperor rejecting our request will be even greater.
It's too low." His eyes gradually glowed, "Originally, I was going to advise you, if they want to regain their face from you, you should give them a step down. But now, hehe, I think you can take this opportunity.
Let them owe you more favors. These people are quite particular. As long as they admire you from the bottom of their hearts, they will not refuse the matter of the princess."
Lu Fang was a little dumbfounded, "Are you so sure that it won't be me who is embarrassed in the end?"
Su Yu looked at him deeply, "Although I can imagine that those guys will no longer ask for trouble to compete with you in martial arts, but I always feel that they will not be your opponent. I am not complimenting you, but just disrespecting you.
It's just intuition. You guys hide it too deeply."
"hey-hey."
As he said that, he suddenly laughed a little self-deprecatingly, "I think if they really make trouble for you, the consequences will probably be similar to when I first met you in Tanzhou, right?"
At that time, he never thought that he would be completely beaten by Lu Fang in archery.
"Then you really think highly of me."
Lu Fang just said.
This is the truth.
Although he is not afraid of poetry writing, martial arts competitions, or even riding and shooting competitions, but who knows if those noble disciples will use other methods to take advantage of others?
It depends on whether they really just want to test their own worth, or whether they are determined to win back their face.
