Eight hundred and twentieth chapter fish head participation in politics
Not many people came to see him off. Ye An quickly finished greeting Wang Hao and Fan Yong, and also chatted with Fan Ziyuan for a while.
But it was obvious that the two of them were no longer on the same level. Fan Ziyuan didn't know what to say to Ye An. He could only wish him a safe journey. As a person who could talk to his elders about his illness, what could he talk to him about?
Suddenly his expression changed. Fan Ziyuan rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked blankly at Cao Yi and Li Zunxu opposite.
The two of them were stared at by him and couldn't help but feel strange. After looking at each other, they were about to step forward to ask clearly. Unexpectedly, Fan Ziyuan suddenly screamed: "Lu Shenzheng?!"
Following Fan Ziyuan's voice, Shili Pavilion suddenly became silent. Fan Yong, an in-law who was chatting happily with Wang Hao, suddenly turned around and looked at the old man who was slowly approaching with the support of his servants not far away, and immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"Why did Lu Shenzheng come here?! I heard that you have been seriously ill and have been bedridden for some time. Today is a cold autumn day. What are you doing here? Are you waiting for the elders in the family?"
Lu Zongdao smiled weakly: "You...how do you sound like you're arranging this, old man? I'm here to see Ye Hou off. It's a long way to Ganliang Mountain, and I don't know if I can wait until this young man returns to the capital. Already."
After hearing this, everyone was shocked, but Ye An was a little confused. The old man in front of him didn't seem familiar. He only remembered that when he offered potatoes and sweet potatoes, the old man was particularly cautious, and it was he who had admonished Liu E and asked to borrow the money. It was first planted in the field on a trial basis.
But they rarely met each other later, and they never met in court. Ye An thought that this man had already retired and returned to his hometown, but he never expected that he would actually come to see him off. It seemed that his health was not very good.
After thinking about it, Ye An couldn't remember the name of this old man, until Fan Ziyuan beside him said in a low voice: "This is Lu Zongdao, the right admonishing official. From the official level, he was involved in political affairs. He was the late emperor's admonisher and the pillar of the dynasty. Yes! Because of his outspoken advice, the late emperor specially wrote the word "Lu Zhi" in the Golden Palace and ordered all ministers to follow suit. When the official succeeded to the throne, the Queen Mother appointed him as a political advisor. However, Lu was weak and sick from working on state affairs and had not done so for a long time. It’s time to go to court.”
Ye An looked at Lu Zongdao who was approaching and said in surprise: "It's the Lu Zongdao who claims to be a fish-headed political activist?! How could he come to see me off?!"
Fan Ziyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Who knows?! Anyway, you are lucky now. Lu Zhi came to see you off in person. When this news spreads, the whole government and the public will be shocked! This is a pillar of the Qing Dynasty! No! Do you know what great virtues your kid accumulated in your previous life..."
Although Fan Ziyuan strongly praised him, Ye An did not think that Lu Zongdao was as simple as he said. The eyes of this old man who kept approaching were flashing with the cunning light of a hunter catching a fox's tail. Although his body was half buried in the ground, it gave Ye An a very big threat.
In Ye An's opinion, this old man obviously came with bad intentions.
Qin Mumu was sitting in a bullock cart. It was a man's world outside. He couldn't show up, so he read the storybook in the spacious car and put the roasted delicate meat into his mouth to chew. However, he saw Ye An outside the car window. He was busy entertaining an old man, his expression was extremely respectful, but I had never seen him look like this before.
Seeing Ye An hurriedly come to get the good wine he had hidden in the mezzanine of the carriage, Qin Mumu became more and more curious: "Who is here? Why are you so entertained? You saved this Yudongchun wine for the road. Are you ready to entertain people?"
Ye An had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "Here comes a powerful man. He can't do it without bleeding! This is Lu Zongdao, a direct minister who is more famous than Bao Zheng. He is also a lonely minister. He has a prominent reputation among Qingliu. He can be regarded as
My senior."
As the Wang Gang and Ye An were busy working, the Ten Mile Pavilion looked like a banquet, with all kinds of bacon and fine wine served, and Ye An was still treating him politely as a junior.
Lu Zongdao was not polite and sat down on the main seat, but he was not interested in the food in front of him. He just picked up the wine glass, smelled it and drank it in one gulp.
Seeing Lu Zongdao, who was half buried in the ground, so bold and bold, Ye An was just about to say a reminder, and Lu Zongdao was choked and coughed repeatedly, but his eyes were full of surprise, and it took him a long time to catch his breath, and his complexion changed from pale to rosy.
: "Good wine, everyone says that Changsheng is good at making wine, but I didn't expect that seeing the fruit today is better than seeing it! Good wine, good wine!"
As an elder, it was reasonable for Lu Zongdao to call Ye An directly. Wang Hao laughed and said: "Brother Guan is wrong. Ye Hou's wine is good, but his talent and learning are far inferior! This boy has a way to make money.
, has the merit to benefit the world, and has a profound plan!"
Lu Zongdao waved his hand and then pointed to Ye Andao: "You said that these old men all know that Wang Xianggong specially came to the old man's house to speak. In his words, he praised this son, saying that he can be the mainstay of the court like Fan Zhongyan. Today,
I heard that Changsheng went to Ganliang in the west, so I gathered here."
Ye An hurriedly took the opportunity to pour wine: "I feel honored that Mr. Lu is here. I wonder if Mr. Lu can give me some advice?"
Lu Zongdao looked at Ye An with a smile, and then turned to look at Wang Hao and said: "I was invited by the prince to see him off, and by the way, I also met Ye Hou, who is famous in Tokyo. The meeting today is really extraordinary."
This was official courtesy. Ye An didn't think Lu Zongdao came to simply see him off, but more to test him. But what was he trying to test?
She had no interaction with him above the court, and had never interacted with him in private. Logically speaking, he would not test him for no reason, not to mention that he suddenly appeared without everyone present knowing.
Seeing Lu Zongdao's slightly mysterious smile, Ye An carefully filled the wine cup for him again, and then whispered: "I don't know what Duke Lu has taught me, please give me some advice!"
Unexpectedly, Lu Zongdao grabbed Ye An's wrist, stared at the drink in front of him and sneered: "You kid, do you really think you can hide it from everyone in the court?! It's your heart's wish to go to Ganliang, don't deny it in a hurry, you
You have been interested in Ganliang for a long time. It is not difficult to see from the tax department's account books that your Puhui Company's caravan has long gone to Ganliang to do business, and there are quite a few of them. However, they are anonymous and no one knows that they are under your command.
It's just a caravan, right? Oh, by the way, tell me again, how could the saint demote you to Ganliang so precisely? With your merits, even if you want to be demoted, you will not choose someone who narrowly escapes death.
The official family has always been kind to you, but this time they don’t even want to lose face? If there is an opportunity for these unusual things, then everything will make sense... You seem to be admonishing the official family to be pro-government, but in fact you have a plan.
, As for who you are planning with, I don’t need to say it clearly, who else can it be except the one in the palace? Do you think I’m telling the truth?”
It wasn't until he finished speaking his guess that Lu Zongdao calmly moved his eyes from the wine cup to Ye An's face, with a smile on his lips. Only then did Ye An realize that the people in the Song Dynasty's court were really
Hidden dragon and crouching tiger.
The plan that he thought was perfect was full of loopholes in the eyes of a powerful person like Lu Zongdao. Even Liu E was shocked by his plan at the beginning and thought that no one would be able to see the flaws in it, but she was still shocked by Lu Zongdao.
Zongdao discovered the problem.
In this case, Lu Zongdao did not come to see him off, but to show off his cards. For such a wise old man, Ye An had no need to pretend. His thoughts were too careful. I am afraid that even Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian
Didn't even see the problem.
"Since Lu Gong knows, he must also know from the prince why Changsheng goes to Ganliang. I wonder if Lu Gong comes here to stop Changsheng, or does he have any explanation?"
Following Ye An's rhetorical question, Lu Zongdao was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Ye An would admit so neatly and even have no idea about the plan between him and the saint.
"You are so brave, kid!" Lu Zongdao just scolded him in a low voice and said nothing further. Only then did Ye An realize that everyone else in Shili Pavilion looked at him and Lu Zongdao with strange eyes.
Looking at Lu Zongdao's hand that was still holding him, Ye An stood up awkwardly and said with a smile: "I have been entertaining Mr. Lu, but I forgot about you, please, please, please..."
