Lei Yungong lamented endlessly in his heart, but his lament was also mixed with a little excitement.
crisis!
It's a crisis, but it's also an opportunity!
If this errand is done well, I don’t have to worry about the future!
Lei Yungong has no shortage of self-knowledge.
He still had some idea of the official's attitude toward him. After all, he was not a direct descendant (referring to an old official who had lived in the residence), so he might have been close to him.
But definitely not to the level of confidant.
And this time the discussion of ‘disarmament’ is undoubtedly his ‘letter of surrender’!
The real kind.
The things I did before were just trivial matters, not big things.
'This matter must be carefully considered and considered again.'
For a while, Lei Yungong had not thought about the specific regulations.
His godfather taught him to stay calm whenever big things happen.
Lei Yungong decided to postpone it for a few days and wait until he had thought it over before making an appointment with Ding Wei.

Wang Xianggong's Mansion.
As soon as the edict to pay homage to the prime minister came out, there was a bustling scene in front of Wang Zeng's residence, and there was an endless stream of people paying their respects.
The position of prime minister is very important, and one is almost subordinate to one person. A person in a high position is bound to have many flattering people around him.
And Wang Zeng himself was one of the leaders of the northern scholars. He had also participated in politics before, and there were many people who wanted to curry favor with him.
After paying homage to the Prime Minister, there will only be more.
However, today's Wang Zeng has no time to pay attention to those who pay homage, even if his confidants are among the people who pay homage.
Today, he has someone to thank.
Lu Yijian!
This time he was able to pay homage to the prime minister because of Lu Yijian's great efforts.
At first, he didn't know that Feng Zheng's appointment was related to Lu Yijian, until Feng Zheng met him and mentioned the matter in a vague way.
Then, he suddenly realized.
It turns out that there are so many stories behind Feng Zheng’s appointment as official.
Therefore, Wang Zeng would entertain Lu Yijian at a banquet today.
Feast him alone!
This is both a thank you and a signal to the outside world.
While the wine was still in full swing, Wang Zeng joked with a smile.
"Tanfu, Tanfu, it's so hard for you to hide this from me."
"Prime Minister, this matter is for both myself and you, so there is no need to say more."
While speaking, Lu Yijian had a humble smile on her face.
Why did Feng Zheng deliberately ask Wang Zengyan about becoming an official?
The passing geese leave their voices, and the passing people leave their names!
After helping Wang Zeng so much, Lu Yi simply wanted a position to participate in politics?
That's definitely not the case.
Although he has a high probability of taking over and participating in politics, he is not the only option.
In fact, he was a little surprised that he could directly transfer to join politics.
In his original plan, someone else should have informed Wang Zeng of the tricks of "Feng Zheng becoming an official", and then Wang Zeng would have recommended him to transfer to politics.
Unexpectedly, the edict not only worshiped Wang Zeng as prime minister, but also mentioned him as a political participant.
However, accidents are accidents, and the results will be good after all.
Being directly promoted to participate in politics also saved Lu Yijian a lot of effort.
"That's right. It's me who is obsessed with it."
Wang Zeng was 'suddenly surprised' at first, and then waved his hand.
"Come, Tanfu, you and I will drink this cup together!"
At this time, in Wang Zeng's eyes, Lu Yijian suddenly became a little unpredictable.
He forced out a veteran of three dynasties without saying a word. Donglai Lu's connections should not be underestimated.
In addition, not only Lu Yijian was surprised, but Wang Zeng was also surprised by the edict to worship Lu Yijian as a participant in politics.
There is no precedent for an edict to promote a prime minister and participate in politics at once.
But very rarely!
Generally speaking, before recommending someone to participate in politics, the official or the queen mother should consult the prime minister in advance.
Although officials have the right to make direct appointments, they still have to go through the necessary procedures.
Like this time, directly promoting someone to participate in politics is definitely a rare act since the founding of the country.
'It should be because the official family is young.'
Wang Zeng thought about it carefully and finally found a reason to convince himself.
He didn't want to think deeply about it.
Anyway, the result is good.
The process is not that important.
The important thing is that he finally got through it!
Dominating the world has always been his goal.
Now that Xiangyin has joined him, many of his ambitions have room to display.
At the same time, with him and Lu Yijian in the prime minister's team, the northern scholars could also recover some of their disadvantages.
At the beginning of the year, the late emperor ascended the throne, the queen mother took charge of the country, and the official family was young. Faced with this situation, Wang Zeng was full of worries.
I am afraid that if I am not careful, the empire will go astray.
Looking at ancient and modern times, when a young ruler takes charge of a country, it is mostly an opportunity for political troubles.
At that time, no matter how optimistic Wang Zeng was, he would not have thought of today.
In less than a year, Ding Wei had the scene of sunset over the western mountains. Not only that, the Queen Mother no longer had the dictatorial attitude she had before.
Of course, what makes Wang Zeng most happy is the performance of the officials.
When he was young, the official family actually had the style of a wise king, and as time went by, the style became more and more prosperous.
Perhaps, the best times are coming!
only……
Suddenly, Wang Zeng's mind popped up with the remarks that the 'official' had made.
The "official family" seems to have the aspirations of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty.
Opening up new territory and expanding territory will undoubtedly be a glorious achievement throughout the ages, but it is also undesirable to engage in military force.
Qin, why did the second generation die?
Tyranny!
Warlike!
Round after round of battles, the people were already in dire straits.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who spent his whole life being militaristic, also exhausted the national power of the Han Dynasty.
One year after Emperor Wu came to the throne, he built the mausoleum. One-third of the tribute from the world was used for the ancestral temple, one for guests, and one for the mountain mausoleum.
One-third of the country's wealth was used to build the mausoleum, and it took decades to build it. It can be said to be extremely extravagant.
If it weren't for the huge wealth accumulated by Emperor Wen and Jing, if Sang Hongyang hadn't been good at managing money, and if Emperor Wu hadn't woken up in time, the Han might have been defeated at the hands of Emperor Wu.
(PS: The above does not represent the author’s own views, but the views of Wang Zeng, or the views of the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty)
On the other side, seeing Wang Zeng's solemn expression, Lu Yijian couldn't help but be startled.
"Prince Prime Minister?"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yijian said with doubts on his face.
"What are you doing?"
Hearing this, Wang Zeng came back to his senses and sighed.
"Tanfu, from now on you and I will still need to watch and help each other."
After hearing this, Lu Yijian was still puzzled and continued to look at Wang Zeng with a puzzled expression, hoping that the other party would explain.
When Wang Zeng saw this, he turned his eyes and looked northwest.
"Counting the days, that boy from the Cao family should have arrived at the border."
"Tanfu, the officials first summoned Cao Wei to return to the capital, and then sent the Cao family boy to the border areas. I'm worried that there will be another war in the border areas in the future."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Yijian immediately understood the reason for Wang Zeng's sudden change of expression.
Literary people definitely don't like fighting.
Not only Wang Zeng, but Lu Yijian also thought so, but compared to Wang Zeng, his attitude towards war was much more flexible.
He believes that if the government wants to fight, it is not impossible to support it as long as the finances allow it.
