Yang Huaisheng hurriedly helped them up, but they did not get up.
"Brother Zhong Fang, if you don't blame these two stupid brothers and withdraw your resignation, then we can get up!" After that, Wei and Xia kowtowed to the ground.
"Two worthy brothers..." Seeing how sincere they were, Yang Huaisheng was deeply moved and knelt down with a thump.
The three of them worshiped together, hugged each other and cried.
From then on, the three of them shared the same hatred and no longer had to compete with each other. Yang Huaisheng gave up his intention of resigning and said to the outside world: "We brothers have nothing important to do. Now that we are in harmony, let's stop talking and fight.
I hope we can work together with one heart and one mind to live up to the foundation of reform."
As soon as these words came out, those people who wanted to take advantage of the situation to join the party and oppose the dissenters immediately lost their excuse, and they no longer dared to show up in the academy, and hurriedly ran away to avoid others coming to take revenge.
Although Yang Huaisheng has not forgotten his ambition to restore the system, he has somewhat retreated from his anger and is no longer angry about it; Wei Huai has also slowed down his pursuit of the academy system, and these days are rarely mentioned.
.
Wan Heshun also saw that Wei Huaiping had soothed Yang Huaisheng and had no intention of disrupting his career; however, he was not anxious or resentful, he was just waiting for a good opportunity.
But this good opportunity did not come easily, and he had to wait for three to five months before it appeared in front of him like prey. And Wan Heshun was a male lion who was good at catching prey.
It turns out that there is a local wealthy family with the surname Lu, and the man in the mansion is named Lu Song, who once held the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry; his son is called Lu Ju, who was born in Juren, and was appointed as an eunuch in Liuhe County. He had many years of ups and downs in the officialdom.
Not going well, and with a low salary, it can be said that nothing has been accomplished. Mr. Lu was anxious and wanted to find a job for him first, but because of the new policy in Nanjing, the adults there returned all the money and did not dare to find a job for his son.
Mr. Lu was depressed for a long time, so he had no choice but to ignore it.
In the past two days, Lu Song accidentally caught wind and cold, and his condition became more serious. Thinking that if he died of illness, his family would have no hope, and he became worried. Since he was in the city, the wind had gradually passed, so he called his brother Lu Liang to come over.
, told him: "I am seriously ill now. Although I am getting better, I am afraid that I will not die soon. You must listen to my wishes quickly and don't be slow to do something important."
Lu Liang moved his face closer.
"Quuzi has no talent and ability. If he only serves as an evangelist, he may not be able to be self-sufficient. Now that I see that the limelight has passed, I am going to ask you to bring the rare things at home to visit Wan Heshun, and ask him to look at his old colleagues and provide advice to Quanzi.
You're a fat guy." He grabbed Lu Liang's hand and said, "Ten million! Ten million!"
Lu Liang nodded slightly, went out to explain to his relatives, and then took the most precious treasures in his family, put them into a gold-inlaid sandalwood box, and asked a few slaves to carry them, and headed towards the palace in the city.
"Prince Wanjun, these are gifts given to you by the Lu family and are not respectful..."
Lu Liang moved the objects out of the box one by one in the waiting room, then knelt on the ground, holding them in both hands, and presented them to Wan Heshun.
"What? Brother Lu, do you still want anything from me?" Wan Heshun asked with a friendly smile.
"Yes...brother has been bedridden recently, and his health has deteriorated..." Lu Liang shook his head helplessly and sighed.
Wan Heshun became worried and frowned: "Why is Brother Lu still suffering from a serious illness?"
"It's just a cold syndrome, who would have expected..."
"Then as long as you are willing to say it, I will agree!" Wan Heshun put on a serious face again and replied.
"My brother's wish is to find a good job for my nephew in Nanjing so that the family will not be ruined." After Lu Liang said this, he looked up at Wan Heshun's expression, trying to see something on his face, but he couldn't guess at all.
, could only look at him in suspense.
"The family is in decline?" Wan Heshun smiled, "Brother Lu's son is both talented and virtuous, so how can we worry about this? But since it's my brother who speaks, I'll just listen to him!"
"Great!" Lu Liang also smiled.
"but……"
Lu Liang stared at him in astonishment again: "Your Majesty,...what's going on?"
"Speaking of fat jobs, it's the Imperial College. I'm planning to let my brother's son go there to be the eunuch, but the wine-sacrifice guards are too lazy to get in, and some of them don't take bribes well..."
Lu Liang smiled disdainfully: "How can there be such a selfless person in the world? Even if he refuses to ask for fifty taels, he will ask for a hundred taels; if he doesn't want a hundred taels, he will ask for a thousand taels. How can we not get enough oil and salt?"
"That's true," Wan Heshun said, "Then you can find Wei Huai and consider giving him some money."
"Why don't you name him the prince?" Lu Liang had an idea and almost blurted it out.
"This kind of thing...shouldn't let me get involved, right?" Wan Heshun smiled at him, but there was a cold air from the inside out. "If you really said my name...this
The Lu family is afraid..." He suddenly stopped talking, and the smile on his face gradually turned into a terrifying grin, "What do you think?"
"Yes...yes..." Lu Liang was really frightened by this pretense of cleverness, wiped his sweat, and exited the hall.
Lu Liang sent his servant to report back to Master Lu, saying that Prince Wanjun agreed readily and recommended Master Lu to serve in the Imperial Academy. He needed to add another thousand taels of silver to honor Wei Huai. Although Lu Song hated this name deeply, but now for him
The son's officer ignored everything and asked his wife to open the door of the treasury, took out ten 100-tael silver notes from inside, ordered his servants to carry them, and ordered him to go back quickly.
Lu Liang accepted the banknotes totaling a thousand taels, and without saying a word, he went straight to the Imperial Academy to beg Wei for wine.
"Who are you?" Wei Huai was doing something in the office when he saw the secretary ushering Lu Liang in.
"My name is Lu Liang. I am a member of the most prestigious Lu family here and the brother of Master Lu Song." Lu Liang bowed to him.
"He came to offer wine to ask for help." Si Ye said with a smile.
"Tell me what you have to say." Wei Huai said calmly.
"I would like to ask you to do me a favor. Find a job for Mr. Lu's son, Lu Ju, as a supervisor." After he finished speaking, he took out a hundred taels of silver note and placed it gently on the ebony table.
Wei Huai remained silent and looked at him with cold eyes.
"Look, do you think I didn't give you enough?" He smiled and took out the second note and placed it on top of the other one.
Wei Huai still didn't respond.
Lu Liang gave the third one, then the fourth, the fifth, the sixth... Until the last one, Wei Huai kept his face as cold as stone.
"You can tell me something..." Si Ye patted Wei Huai on the shoulder, but was thrown away by his arm.
"The government has clear laws. No one is allowed to bribe officials to get things done. Don't you, the scholarly Lu family, understand the clear rules?" Wei Huai pushed all the banknotes back and stood up, "Si.
Ye, see the guests off!”
"You think the money is not enough, so why don't I give you more..."
Wei Huai slapped the table and glared fiercely:
"Even if we move the capital's treasury, I won't do it!"
