Chapter two hundred and seventy fourth world affairs
"Hey, hey, are you two done yet?... Seeing these two old men singing along, they became more and more enthusiastic. Lu Heng had no choice but to interrupt.
"Haha, someone is anxious, Wenshan, have you seen it?" Wu Ningyuan didn't take it seriously at all, pointed at Lu Heng, and proudly showed off to Zhang Wenshan.
"Well, that's really strange!!" Zhang Wenshan stroked his beard, nodded, looked at Lu Heng up and down, and nodded with deep approval.
Depend on…
Lu Heng was speechless and rolled his eyes, feeling powerless in his heart.
He raised his head and saw the two people laughing arrogantly. Lu Heng shook his head and sighed: "Originally, I still have some thoughts, um, about your concerns, and I want to discuss them with you.
Now, looking at you two, you don’t seem to want to hear about this situation?”
Lu Heng shook his head and sighed with regret, smacked his lips, raised his head, saw the laughter of the two men stopped suddenly, and looked at his old man with wide eyes. He sighed leisurely: "Since you are not interested, then forget it!
"
"have!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two old men couldn't hold it any longer and hurriedly stood up to express their stance.
"Zhang Wenshan, tell me, you, a great Confucian at that time, a famous calligrapher and painter, and a prominent figure, how could you be so ignorant of the important and the private?" Wu Ningyuan changed his playful smile, stood up, and pointed at Zhang Wenshan seriously.
's criticism.
"I" Zhang Wenshan was dumbfounded, pointed at his nose, and asked in disbelief: "I, what's wrong?"
"What else is going on? You don't know it yourself, how could I know?" Wu Ningyuan's guilty critic Zhang Wenshan, well, it seems like he doesn't even know what he said.
Ahem, although what I said just now is that I started the trouble. Well, although I am also responsible, why do I just not admit it?
However, someone has to take the blame!
Wu Ningyuan took a deep look at Zhang Wenshan, who had straight eyes and a stunned look on his face. Seeing that his head had turned slightly at this time, he felt secretly happy in his heart.
Hey, just weigh it!
Normally, Zhang Wenshan is a very clever guy. Moreover, he is extremely cunning. If you want him to take the blame once, it will be extremely difficult to do so.
Now, I finally seized the opportunity.
Wu Ningyuan stroked his beard and smiled, feeling so happy!
After giving Zhang Wenshan a fierce look, Wu Ningyuan turned around, looked at Lu Heng enthusiastically, and smiled: "If Yongzheng has any good ideas, please tell me quickly. We are not the same as him!"
Lu Heng took a deep breath, nodded heavily, and looked at Wu Ningyuan in front of him, who looked generous and just, and the admiration in his heart could not be greater.
Although, this old man is not a good bird either.
However, wartime alliances are still necessary.
Then, Lu Heng nodded, turned around, looked at Zhang Wenshan with the same contemptuous look, and sighed deeply. He put his hand on Wu Ningyuan's shoulder and said in agreement: "Mr. Wu's words make sense!
"
Seeing the direction of the wind turning sharply, he suddenly fell into it. Zhang Wenshan was extremely shocked.
Seeing these two guys looking at him with contempt, Zhang Wenshan reacted and became furious.
"I gather!"
Then, Zhang Wenshan followed suit and pulled Lu Heng aside and whispered in his ear. While speaking, he also looked at Wu Ningyuan with contempt from time to time.
That look was the same as Wu Ningyuan's look just now.
Obviously, what the old man Zhang Wenshan means is that that old fox is not a good bird. Yong Zheng, you must not believe his words.
Seeing the two people muttering there, they released their hands on each other's shoulders, turned their heads, coughed, and then took a deep look at Wu Ningyuan, shook their heads at the same time, and sighed with disappointment.
,
"Why……"
Wu Ningyuan: "..."
After joking for a while, the three of them did not feel resentful, but actually enjoyed it.
The two old men laughed at each other, but Lu Heng, who was watching the show on the side, had brilliant eyes.
After all, the only winner in the quarrel between the two was Lu Heng. In order to balance their own minds, the two old men undermined each other and exposed each other's embarrassing things.
Then, Lu Heng learned two pieces of very interesting information from the whispers between the two.
And it’s also very secretive news, hehe, it’s all about the lives of these two old men now or in the past.
Looking at the red-faced Zhang Wenshan standing aside, Lu Heng rubbed his chin as if tasting something, nodded and shook his head, and then sighed.
"Look, what are you looking at?" Zhang Wenshan felt uncomfortable with being stared at like this. He couldn't bear it any more. He raised his head and glared at Lu Heng.
Well, Lu Heng looked away and said with a smile in his heart: It turns out that this old man has met his second spring.
Oh, she is still a famous prostitute who was stunningly beautiful in Tokyo decades ago.
Old guy, you have good vision!
Then, he turned his attention to Wu Ningyuan.
This old man was very cheeky. When he saw Lu Heng staring at him, he continued to eat the food casually, then turned his eyes away and looked at the bright April spring light outside the window with a deep expression.
Well, even though he looks cool, he is also very deep.
But..., why are your hands shaking?
The drinks have been removed.
Could it be that the attraction of that Korean woman is so great?
"Oh, let's talk about what's going on now!" Seeing the two old men posing with narcissism, Lu Heng glanced at them, coughed, and said with a smile, "How about it?"
"Well, that's very good!" The two of them picked up the wine cups, took a sip, and said in unison.
In the room, a crane-shaped bronze incense burner filled with incense. The afternoon sunlight shone into the study, and the bright beam cast a slanting light and shadow on the blue brick floor.
The aroma of tea and books filled the quiet afternoon.
Although the spring outside is bright and the sun is warm, when the current affairs of the government are mentioned, the light and cheerful atmosphere in the room is suddenly replaced by a heavy depression.
Over the past year or so, with the emergence of various things, the court was turbulent. For a time, there was a sense of depression that the building was full of rain.
Domestically, the battle for the crown prince seems less tense than before with the emergence of Prince Zheng. However, anyone with a discerning eye knows how big an undercurrent is hidden underneath.
The emperor also knew or even knew better. However, now that he is old and frail, his iron heart has gradually softened. He can no longer treat his own parents and children as boldly and cruelly as he did when he was young.
Therefore, although he intended to support King Zheng to ascend to the throne, he only weakened the prince and did not depose him. Perhaps the emperor was waiting for the prince to know his way back and not to embark on a road of no return.
As for King Jin, the emperor was probably feeling even more uncomfortable.
The Emperor must have known about the King of Jin's intervention in the Imperial Merchant's business. But why he didn't take action for so long. Although there was insufficient evidence, the other reason was probably because the Emperor couldn't take action against the King of Jin.
Nowadays, the old emperor is more like a father who hopes his son will succeed, rather than the ruthless king he was when he was young.
"Brother Emperor, it's not easy for him either!" Wu Ningyuan sighed and said with a wry smile.
"Is this the reason why you competed with His Majesty last time?" Zhang Wenshan picked up the teapot, filled Wu Yuyuan with a new cup of tea, and asked calmly.
"Ha" Wu Ningyuan was silent for a moment and finally nodded.
"Why? My lord, have you waited so long?" Zhang Wenshan thought for a moment that he would give up so much for his lord, and then sighed with regret and asked in confusion.
After Wu Ning took a sip of tea from the far end, he took a deep look at Zhang Wenshan, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said leisurely: "Wenshan, we are all old!"
Putting down the tea cup, Wu Ning leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes for a while, and said lightly: "I'm tired too!"
Seeing that the God of War of the Zhou Dynasty, who once dominated the court of the Zhou Dynasty and made the Turks tremble in fear in the northwest border, now has gray hair and the traces of time on his once heroic face, Lu Heng felt uneasy in his heart.
Sighed.
Zhang Wenshan stretched out his hand, held it down, and was about to speak to persuade Zhang Wenshan. He looked at him quietly and shook his head gently.
Zhang Wenshan looked at Prince Ning who was lying on the chair with his eyes closed, looking exhausted both physically and mentally. He stopped talking. Turning around, he saw Lu Heng gently shaking his head at him, and he muttered his lips for a long time, and finally
He sighed deeply.
"Oh, yes, decades have passed in a blink of an eye. We are indeed me!"
Lu Heng looked at the two old men with a sigh of regret, immersed in the past and unable to extricate himself.
Affected by the atmosphere, he felt a little sad in his heart. He put down the tea cup and looked at the two old men quietly, not knowing what he felt in his heart. After a long time, he sighed leisurely: "Since ancient times, famous generals are like beauties, and they are not allowed to grow old in the world!
"
"Ha, since ancient times, famous generals are like beauties, and they are not allowed to grow old in the world!" Wu Ningyuan, who was lying on the chair, quietly repeated Lu Heng's words, sighed, and the corners of his slightly closed eyes became slightly moist.
"Haha, but!" After all, he didn't like the dull atmosphere. Lu Heng smiled, poured himself a drink, glanced at the two old people, lowered his head and said to himself: "Nowadays, although there are internal worries in this great Zhou Dynasty,
Although there were foreign invasions, it was a prosperous age that was rare in a hundred years. The weather was smooth, the country was stable, and there were few disasters. The people of Li could hardly enjoy this stable situation. In this prosperous age, the two of them also played an indispensable role. Wu You was once the God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Guard one side to ensure the stability of the country. With Wen Zhang Wenshan governing one side, this peaceful and prosperous age can only be achieved!"
Seeing the two old men smiling a little sheepishly, they were cute and shy smiles.
: Lu Heng picked up the teapot and gave the two of them a new cup of tea. Then he picked up the teacup himself and touched the two steaming green huā porcelain tea cups on the table: "In the prosperous times, Lu Heng
Honored!"
Holding the tea cup, with a smile in his eyes, he looked at the two old men who looked a little excited, smiled slightly, and said: "You and I, let's drink it for now!"
"Yongzheng!" The two old men looked at the tea cups for a long time, looked at each other, and shook their heads with a wry smile.
However, they finally picked up the teacup, raised their heads, and looked at the scholar holding the cup in front of them. The two old men sighed deeply, gently raised the teacup, and touched the green huā that had been suspended in the air for a long time.
The porcelain tea cups touched together.
Let go of your worries and worries.
The two old men unknowingly saw a lot.
When it comes to today's court affairs, I feel a lot more relaxed.
"There is Turkic chaos outside, and there is the An family in the northwest, which is the source of instability, and there are my nephews. Alas, the Great Zhou Dynasty is surrounded by dangers!" Wu Ningyuan said with a worried look.
Although he had let go of his old obsession, he was still a member of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, and he still had to think about his family.
Moreover, the crisis he mentioned does exist and is even serious.
As he said, the current situation of Da Zhou can be said to be very difficult. If you are not careful, you may suffer devastating consequences.
"Today, the most difficult thing to solve is actually not those, but the Qingcheng Road hidden in the darkness of Tokyo. These people are like tarsal crickets and are really a headache!" Zhang Wenshan leaned quietly on his chair,
He tapped his fingers gently on the table, his clear eyes flashed with fierceness, and he said in a deep voice.
Huh, with my temper back then, when it came to dealing with those believers and unruly people, I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!" Wu Ningyuan snorted coldly, murderous intent looming in his eyes, and the words he said immediately caused the temperature in the room to drop a lot.
Remembering that one of the demons from Qingcheng actually reached into the imperial city, the murderous intention in Wu Ningyuan's heart became more and more intense.
"If those believers are stubborn and don't want to repent, this is not a bad idea!" Zhang Wenshan is not the kind of rotten scholar the sage said. He will not use the excuse of not forgetting to use weapons as an excuse to talk about righteousness.
Regarding the unstable factors in the government, if it is really uncontrollable, he does not mind starting a killing spree.
"Severe punishment will definitely produce results!" Zhang Wenshan took a sip of tea and said coldly.
On the side, Lu Heng looked at Zhang Wenshan and Wu Ningyuan. When he saw the two singing in harmony, he curled his lips and nodded in agreement: "Well, that's a good idea!"
Wu Ningyuan: "..."
Zhang Wenshan: "..."
Lu Heng chuckled and took a sip of tea. After putting down the tea cup, he saw that the two people were looking at him with black lines on their heads. He smiled, leaned on the chair, and asked with a smile: "Why are you two like this?"
Look at me?"
"What do you think?" Wu Ningyuan glared at him angrily, full of complaints.
Zhang Wenshan shook his head with a smile and glanced at Wu Ningyuan. After seeing him nodding, Zhang Wenshan turned his head and looked at Xi Heng with expectant eyes and said with a smile: "Actually, I've always wanted to hear it from you.
Views!”
Seeing Lu Heng looking at him with a smile, Zhang Wenshan was honest and said with a smile: "It is true that what we just said was a bit off-putting. However, if there is really nothing you can do, what Prince Ning just thought is not a bad idea."
What a good idea! After all, His Majesty has been urging us for a long time! We,..."
Seeing Zhang Wenshan sighing helplessly, Lu Heng withdrew his smiling gaze.
He picked up the teacup, but didn't drink it. He just thought about it quietly with the rising white air.
"This Qingcheng Road actually doesn't exist alone!" Lu Heng thought for a moment, took a sip of tea, and said lightly.
"Oh?" Zhang Wenshan's eyes lit up, he glanced at Wu Ningyuan in surprise, turned around, and asked eagerly: "Why did Yong Zheng say that?"
"After careful observation of all things, you will find that they do not exist independently, but" Lu Heng smiled, stretched out his hand to make a line gesture, and said quietly: "But, they are mutually exclusive."
There are countless connections between them!"
"For example, let's take Qingcheng Road!" Lu Heng thought for a while, looked at Zhang Wenshan and said, "Mr. Zhang must know something about Zheng Yi!"
"Well, this person was originally a handyman in Qingcheng Mountain. Because he was interrupted from tui, he felt resentful towards Qingcheng Mountain. Finally, he used the name of Qingcheng Mountain to form this cult!" Zhang Wenshan once served as the magistrate of Yizhou in Chengdu.
He put a lot of effort into investigating Qingcheng Dao and everything about Qingcheng Dao, and his master, Zheng Yi, was the focus of Zhang Wenshan's investigation.
Therefore, when he heard Lu Heng's smell, Zhang Wenshan felt like he was familiar with all the treasures in his family and told Zheng Yi's information.
"No, no, no." Lu Heng shook his head, gently shook the tea cup in his hand, smiled and shook his head: "That's not what I'm talking about!"
"So, Yongzheng, what do you mean?" Zhang Wenshan frowned and thought about it carefully, but found in vain that he still couldn't figure out the scholar's background.
"Mr. Zhang, have you never investigated the origin of Zheng Yi?" Lu Heng looked at him quietly and asked with a smile.
Seeing that Zhang Wenshan still looked suspicious, Lu Heng added with a smile: "In other words, his place of origin, where did he come from?"
"This?" Zhang Wenshan shook his head and said doubtfully: "I've never heard of this!"
From the information he checked, he found no information about Zheng Yi's place of origin. Moreover, he had never met Zheng Yi. Therefore, when Lu Heng asked about this, he could only shake his head.
"Is this matter important?" Zhang Wenshan frowned. After thinking for a while, he raised his head and looked at Lu Hengdao in confusion.
"Oh, what if you knew where Zheng Yi came from?" Lu Heng nodded and said affirmatively.
"Then what do you mean by Yongzheng? This is Zheng Yi." Zhang Wenshan looked at Lu Heng suspiciously.
"He is from the northwest, well, his native place should be Gansu area!" Lu Heng smiled and told the whole story. He looked at Zhang Wenshan with a smile, and recalled his meeting with Zheng Yi that day, and said lightly:
"I had a few conversations with him that day. Judging from his accent, hey, Zheng Yi has a strong flavor of the northwest dialect!"
"Gansu people?" Zhang Wenshan thought for a while, and suddenly, information about the An family broke in. He looked at Lu Heng in shock, and said in a trembling voice: "Do you mean, this Qingcheng Road and the An family...
…,?”
"Why are you so embarrassed?" Zhang Wenshan's face was extremely gloomy, he lowered his voice and said with an ugly face.
While talking, he didn't forget to pick up the teapot and fill the two of them with a cup of tea.
"A few days ago, after I dealt with the Japanese affairs, I had a conversation with Wei Jian!" Lu Heng took a sip of tea, recalled the inside story of what Wei Jian said that day, nodded and said
: "Oh, behind Jiang Ning's matter, there is not only the shadow of An Jia, but also the one from Shanxi. Although he has never intervened, he cannot avoid suspicion!"
Having said this, Lu Heng turned his head, looked at Zhang Wenshan, and Wu Ningyuan with a stern expression on the side, smiled, tapped his fingers on the table, and said word by word: "Chengdu and Jiangning were in trouble at almost the same moment.
Moreover, at that time, the An family and the King of Jin closed their doors one after another, as if they wanted to distance themselves from each other and prove their innocence. Oh, looking at these things together, don’t you think it’s too strange?”!.
