The imperial edict was sent to Su, Hu, Xiupang and nearby soldiers to divert the stagnant water and build embankments, and ordered the Deputy Envoy of Jianghuai Shipping, Zhang Lun of Taizhou, and Fan Zhongyan, the Supervisor of Xixi Yancang in Taizhou, to supervise it.
Send Xu Shi to Jixian Academy to promote his service.
Wang Xianggong's Mansion.
In the evening, Wang Zeng called Lu Yijian to his home again. Yesterday in the Chengming Palace, officials were involved in politics, and the Queen Mother had no objection.
This has never happened before and must be carefully discussed.
backyard.
Still a familiar location.
"Tanfu, what do you think of what happened yesterday?"
Originally, this conversation should have been held yesterday, but something delayed Wang Zeng's side last night, so it was postponed to today.
After a day of thinking, Lu Yijian answered simply.
"The officials may have pro-government intentions."
In fact, Lu Yijian had already seen the signs. Ever since his brother-in-law took that class, he had a premonition.
Although today's officials are young, they are not people who are willing to be lonely.
Later, there was another letter from Yan Shu, which undoubtedly confirmed his suspicion.
This result not only surprised him, but also made him worried.
Hearing this, Wang Zeng nodded silently. His information was better informed than Lu Yijian's, and his views were consistent with Lu Yijian's.
However, Wang Zeng didn't know whether this was a blessing or a curse.
Although the performance of Guanjia in recent months has far exceeded expectations, after all, Guanjia is only thirteen years old this year.
He had only heard of thirteen-year-old prodigies, but prodigies were more likely to have literary talents.
Literature and governing the country are completely different things.
The former relies on talent, while the latter relies on accumulation, which are completely different in nature.
Therefore, Wang Zeng was not very in favor of officials directly taking charge of the government.
If the time were pushed back two to three years, he would definitely support it.
"well."
After a long silence, Wang Zeng sighed slightly.
What an eventful year it has been.
There is a dictatorship of the Queen Mother inside, there are traitors like Ding Wei outside, and now the officials want to take charge of the government, the current situation is simply a mess.
"Prime Minister, do you have other ideas?"
Unlike Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian supported the officials to take charge of the government as soon as possible.
As the saying goes, there is an emperor and a minister. Now that he has the power to know the Kaifeng Mansion, the next step is to become a general and become a prime minister.
But there are only so many positions for one carrot and one hole. If the situation doesn't change significantly, he doesn't know how long he will have to endure.
Although he is only in his forties this year and can still afford to wait, who doesn’t want more of power and get it faster?
Wang Zeng said slowly: "The official family does have the appearance of a saintly king, but he is still in his early years. If he is personally in charge, it will be unpredictable for the country and the dynasty."
"What the Prime Minister said is indeed true."
Lu Yijian thought for a moment and said: "Tanfu also agrees, but it is not advisable to continue to maintain the status quo."
"What did you say?"
A flash of surprise flashed in Wang Zeng's eyes. This answer was a little different from what he expected.
In his impression, Lu Yijian has always been the kind of mature person who upholds the country.
Lu Yijian said frankly: "Tan Fu also heard about the affairs in the palace, and the things that officials see in daily life are all from the past."
"Moreover, when the Queen Mother ordered us to discuss government affairs, she also excluded the officials."
"This will be very harmful to the growth of the official family."
Today's Lu Yijian can be regarded as risking his life. Although there are only two of him and Wang Zeng at the moment, if these words reach the ears of the Queen Mother, they will definitely be irreverent.
However, he also knew very well that with Wang Zeng's character, there was a high probability that he would not support the official's pro-government as soon as possible.
Therefore, Lu Yijian thought over and over again and felt that it was necessary to take some risks.
Risks and benefits coexist. If an official wants to take charge of the government, he alone will definitely be unable to do so alone.
Wang Zeng’s support is very important!
As one of the leaders of the northern scholars, if he can get the support of Wang Zeng, it also means the support of the northern scholars.
Although the northern scholars were temporarily suppressed, the collective of northern scholars was still a huge force.
With Wang Zeng's support, Lu Yijian could use his connections with the Lu family to promote the pro-government of officials and families, and there would be great potential for him!
On the other side, Wang Zeng was silent for a long time after hearing Lu Yijian's retort.
He was analyzing Lu Yijian's intentions.
If something goes wrong, you will become a monster!
Lu Yijian, who has always been prudent, actually said such "rebellious and unethical" remarks today, there must be a deep meaning.
Lu Yijian wanted to take the "merit of following the dragon".
This point is not difficult to guess. Although the official family is now the nominal master of the world, the current situation is very similar to the story of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
When Empress Lu was in charge of the government, the emperor was also in his early years, and Empress Lu was there to make decisions both inside and outside the court.
Therefore, it is very appropriate to describe it as "the power of Conglong".
Since ancient times, it has been common for people to be ministers of the dragon, to become generals or prime ministers. Lu Yijian came from the Lu family in the east and came from a well-known family. His uncle was even the prime minister.
(PS: Although Lu Mengzheng and Lu Yijian are from the same Lu family, they have separated since Lu Mengzheng and Lu Mengheng, that is, Lu Yijian’s father’s generation [I forgot a little, it may also be Lu Guitu, Lu Guixiang’s grandfather]
The families of that generation were divided, one was in Luoyang and the other was in Donglai. However, not long after the family separation, their relationship was still very close)
With such a background, it is normal for Lu Yijian to want to go further.
What Wang Zeng was worried about was not Lu Yijian's ambition, but whether the official family could bear the weight of the world.
The burden of a country is as heavy as a thousand pounds. Can a child really bear it?
‘That’s all.’
After thinking for a moment, Wang Zeng had an idea in his mind.
"What Tanfu said is indeed for the sake of the country, and officials should be more involved in the affairs of government."
Hearing this, Lu Yijian suddenly felt calm.
This plan is done!
However, he still needs to plan carefully to facilitate the hearing of the government.
You have to pay attention to methods when doing things.
If he had spoken directly, what awaited him might not have been a meteoric rise, but a demotion from the capital.
The Queen Mother was obviously a woman with a strong desire for power, and at this time, the Queen Mother held the late emperor's edict and held great righteousness.
Therefore, this matter can only be discussed in the long term.
First find someone to submit a letter and do the same thing as throwing stones to ask for directions.

Funing Hall.
Li Jie didn't know what happened in Wang Zeng's house. Although he controlled part of the Imperial City Department, it was not easy for a high-ranking official like Wang Zeng to investigate even if the Imperial City Department wanted to investigate.
Right now, he was looking at Zhang Lun, or to be precise, the piece of paper that Fan Zhongyan had presented before.
In the last year of Tianxi, the sea intrusion in Taizhou was serious, and the seawater poured in and flooded a large amount of fertile farmland, so this book was created.
After a while, Li Jie put down the note, then walked to the window and glanced at the southern sky.
He very much hoped to see in the court as soon as possible this famous example of a minister who had left a legacy of "worry before the world's worries, and rejoice after the world's happiness".
Fan Zhongyan was transferred to Suzhou to control floods. He must be very satisfied with this job.
After all, Fan Zhongyan is from Wuxian County, Suzhou.
