Chapter 1,278 Banquet

Chapter 1286 Banquet

Lu Huiqing has made outstanding political achievements since he learned about Taiyuan.

From when Lu Huiqing first arrived in Taiyuan to today, there are two completely different situations.

After Lu Huiqing took office, he vigorously reclaimed uncultivated land in Lin, Fu, and Fengzhou, making Hedong increasingly rich in military supplies. At the same time, he vigorously promoted the cotton industry and promoted camp farming, saving the court tens of thousands of dollars in transfer fees every year.

However, in the past two years, Hedong Road was not only successfully constructed, but also managed by the people, which was enough to convince the people of the world that Lu Huiqing was a capable minister and official.

Lu Huiqing inspected the city head of Taiyuan, accompanied by Li Ji, deputy envoy of Hedong Road transfer, as well as his younger brothers Lu Wenqing, Lu Heqing and others.

Lu Huiqing looked at the scene outside Taiyuan City and said: "Taiyuan, as one of the three capitals, is naturally a place where dragons and tigers dominate."

"The Xishan Mountains and Fenhe River are to Jinyang, just as Mang Mountain and Luoshui are to Luoyang, and Zhongshan Mountain and Dajiang are to Jiankang."

All the generals said one after another: "Commander Jie led Jinyang's Jiajie to conquer Taiyuan, reject Khitan in the north, defeat Dangxiang in the west, and achieve great success in Sheji!"

Lu Huiqing nodded and said: "There is no need to say too much flattery. This city of Taiyuan is four and ten miles away, and we still have to pay attention to it one by one. Don't blame me for making ugly remarks in the first place. If anyone makes a mistake, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"

After receiving the order, the generals left together.

Li Ji said: "Although hundreds of thousands of Liao soldiers are behind the mountain, the teacher still talks and laughs freely, and the students really admire him."

Lu Huiqing said: "How can there be hundreds of thousands of heavy troops? It's just tens of thousands of soldiers and horses."

Lu Heqing said: "I think the intention of the Khitan is not to go south in a big way, but to delay our attack on the party and take the opportunity to renegotiate."

Lu Wenqing said: "It's true. They took half of the coins this year. Do they want more next year?"

Lu Huiqing said: "Whether the Liao Kingdom invaded in large numbers cannot be determined until the autumn. How is the court doing?"

Li Ji said: "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, all the temple supervisors in the six departments of the imperial court have passed the examination, but they have not yet reached the level of Lu. It seems that it is only implemented in the capital."

Lu Wenqing said: "Zhang Jiangong saw that he would leave office next year, so he pushed this matter forward. I think this method is good. Let Jiangong do this offending thing. After he retires, it will be just in time for my brother to return to the court.

You can harvest it and use it!"

Hearing what Lu Wenqing said, Lu Huiqing smiled slightly, as did the others.

Returning to the court, taking charge of the central government, and reforming the law have always been what Lu Huiqing has been thinking about.

Lu Huiqing walked around the city, and Lu Shengqing said: "I think Zhang Jiangong's original intention of implementing the examination method was not simple."

"Who will replace the mediocre officials who have fallen behind after passing the exam? Of course, they will be his close friends."

"In the future, no matter who among the Zhang Party inherits the political power of Jiangong, he must carefully consider Han Zhongyan's wishes."

Lu Huiqing turned around after hearing this. Lu Shengqing and Lu Wenqing stood silently, holding hands.

Although the two of them were Lu Huiqing's younger brothers, they did not dare to make any mistakes in front of each other.

Lu Huiqing said: "Zhang Jiangong wants officials with Taixue background to reorganize the government. No matter who becomes prime minister in the future, he will listen to the wishes of these people."

The two of them were stunned.

"He Zhang Duzhi is one step further than Duke Jing, and his vision is ten steps further."

Several people said: "Can this matter about Jieshuai be taken seriously?"

Lu Huiqing said: "About five or six points!"

Lu Huiqing stroked the battlements with his hands and looked at the scenery below Taiyuan City and said: "Zhang Jiangong is very courageous. When the Liao army invaded the border, he also implemented the examination method in the court!"

Li Ji's eyes flashed and he asked in a low voice: "Does Mr. Lu want to let the Liao army in?"

Lu Huiqing waved her hand and said, "How can I do something like this that doesn't involve the overall situation?"

"We can't do anything that's not good for us. We must make Zhang Jian's promise and return to the court to change the prime minister afterwards!" Lu Shengqing said.

Lu Wenqing said: "Yes, we have made great achievements here and will not be replaced unless we are the prime minister!"

"We've done a lot of things for Zhang San over the years."

"Now, once the Liao army goes south! How can Zhang San's position be appropriate? If you don't want something, the court won't give it to you!"



On this day, there was a grand banquet in the palace at Jiying Hall.

At the banquet, Li Qingchen, the Minister of Civil Affairs, sang "Biandu Fu" presented by Zhou Bangyan, a student of the Imperial College.

The officials at the head of the banquet were all smiling. Zhang Yue, who was sitting aside, looked at the officials' expressions and sat upright at the banquet to listen.

Since the victory of Pingxia City and the successful restructuring, officials have become more and more fond of such official articles praising virtues.

However, Zhang Yue also admired this talented man named Zhou Bangyan. I don’t say whether this Biandu Fu is as talented as Sima Xiangru, but the uncommon characters in the poem are also off the mark.

When a talented person like Li Qingchen read "Biandu Fu" for the first time, he didn't know many words. That's right, he didn't know them. He could only read half of them.

When Li Qingchen finished reading the poem, Wang Gui took the lead in raising his glass and congratulating him: "I don't know what the scene of Liangdu Fu was like when I wrote Liangdu Fu? Today I know it."

After hearing what Wang Gui said, all the ministers praised one after another: "In prosperous times, there must be masterpieces handed down from generation to generation, and this Biandu poem is enough!"

The officials were overjoyed when they heard this.

The ministers did not dare to mention that the Liao army was attacking Hedong at this time. Wang Gui had already expressed his position, let alone others.

The official said: "Although Zhou Bangyan's talents are not as good as those of Ban Gu and Zhang Heng who wrote poems about the two capitals and two capitals, I feel that he is not far away. How about rewarding him with an official work?"

Wang Gui and Zhang Yue didn't say anything, but Cai Chue rushed to say: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Zhou Bangyan was previously a student of the Imperial College, so he will be rewarded with a test of the Imperial College and will be sent to the county magistrate."

The official said happily: "It's very good."

The official said: "I have all the ministers to help me and contribute to the country. I want to visit Mount Tai this year."

Zhang Yueze said: "Female Zen to Mount Tai is a blessing in ancient and modern times, and it should be solemnized again and again. This year is a bit rushed, and the property in the treasury is not sufficient. It is better to wait until next year!"

The official said with some regret: "That's what you said."

Among the three prime ministers, it was clear to all the ministers who spoke in line with the emperor and who did not.

Just then, the official stood up and said, "I'm going to change my clothes first!"

All the ministers stood up to see each other off. Cai Que looked at Zhang Yue and said: "Right Prime Minister, His Majesty said that it has been decided for a long time that he will be enshrined in Mount Tai. Why do you have to displease His Majesty?"

"I know that the Right Prime Minister must be worried that the Liao Kingdom is attacking Hedong, but at this time, wouldn't Fengchan Taishan be a deterrent to the Liao people?"

Zhang Yue said: "Zuo Cheng thought too far. Fengchan Taishan is a matter of communication between heaven and man."

"What does it have to do with the Liao people?"

"Zuo Cheng has no time to worry about your majesty's ceremony, so he might as well think about how to arrange Zhou Bangyan's arrangements. I have never heard of Ban Gu. Zhang Heng was granted an official title because he wrote the two capitals and two capitals!"

Cai Que was secretly angry when he heard this, but said on his face: "That's what the Prime Minister said."

After a while, I saw the official family slowly walking into the palace with an eight or nine-year-old child, followed by Cai Bian and Cheng Yi.

All the ministers stood up quickly when they saw him.

All the ministers were staring at the child. At this moment, Zhang Yue and Cai indeed looked surprised and happy, but they looked at each other and immediately returned to their normal expressions.

But the official said to the child with a gentle and loving look: "Sixth brother, don't be afraid, let the ministers take a good look at you."

Wang Gui, as the head of the hundred officials, immediately stepped forward to take a closer look at the child.

Zhang Yue, Cai Que, Wang Anli, Lu Gongzhu, Su Song and other assistant ministers also stood solemnly on the left and right to look at the appearance of the emperor's six sons.

This should be kept in mind carefully.

Because there is an allusion to this.

When Zhenzong ascended the throne and came to the palace for the first time, he lowered the curtain to receive the ministers. When Lu Duan led all the ministers to the palace to meet him, they stood before his highness and refused to bow. At that time, the queen asked Lu Duan why he did not bow. Lu Duan said: "Roll up the curtain.

, let the prince sit in the upright position and let us see clearly before we bow."

The queen let Zhenzong sit on the throne as Lu Duan said.

After Lu Duan saw it clearly, he led his ministers to kneel down and worship the mountain and call him long live the mountain.

At this time, if you admit the wrong person, or a blind prime minister comes, what will happen...

And among the ministers here, there is no telling which one will be Lu Duan in the future.

At this moment, many ministers realized why the ministers came together in such great numbers during today's grand banquet at the Ying Palace. Important ministers from all over the world were summoned to the palace by the emperor almost at the same time.

Sometimes it’s in this unspoken language.

What the ministers are most concerned about is the orderly inheritance of the throne. They are even more anxious about this than the emperor himself. Just like Lu Duan, being able to stand up to the emperor after ten thousand years is the greatest achievement of the country.

.

After Wang Gui saw it, he immediately congratulated him, but the official just said: "The royal family is celebrating this event, and I am as happy as you."

Seeing that the official's expression was calm, the ministers did not dare to show any excitement, otherwise it would be bad for the emperor to misunderstand something. This time is a great test for the acting skills of the officials, so everyone immediately pretended to be okay, some solemnly and some

Return to your seat at the banquet as usual.

The official said to the emperor's sixth son: "You can just stay here."

The Sixth Prince agreed, and then the ministers continued the banquet.

In the middle of the banquet, Wang Gui and other ministers went up to the stage in their classes and bowed one by one. This was because he was afraid that he had not seen clearly just now and would go up to the stage to see it again.

Zhang Yue was also full of emotions when he went up the stairs. He toasted to the officials and then returned to the banquet room.

When the ministers toasted to the emperor, they all glanced at the sixth son of the emperor who was standing beside them in the name of toasting, but they did not dare to take a second look.

The Sixth Prince of the Emperor also remained silent throughout the whole process. The ministers saw him standing beside him. Although he was a little thin, he looked like he could bear the weight of the sky.

After the banquet was over, Zhang Yue walked out of the palace.

Looking up, the weather outside is as clear as yesterday, but in the calmness, it seems that there is no wind and waves.

Zhang Yue sat on his chariot and was about to leave. Many officials stood beside him to see him off. But when he looked back at the palace, he saw many ministers taking the initiative to come to Cai Que's side to speak. Cai Que stood proudly.

Under the palace, long-sleeved people danced and responded to all directions.

This scene made him a little disappointed.

Now that the sixth son and the emperor have made arrangements, it seems that the time has come for his tenure as prime minister to come to an end.

Su Che said from the side: "Prime Minister, let's see how long this prince can be proud of. I don't know how many people in the court are eager to eat his flesh."

Zhang Yue looked at Su Zhe and said, "Ziyou, what do you mean?"

Su Zhe said: "Prime Minister, it's nothing. During his many years in court, Zhe realized a truth: A gentleman fighting a villain is like fighting a tiger with his bare hands."

"So if you fight the villain the way a gentleman does, you will never be able to defeat him."

Zhang Yue asked: "But is a gentleman still a gentleman if he uses villain's methods?"

Su Zhe said solemnly: "Didn't the Prime Minister say that years ago, when you talk about deeds, you don't care about your heart, and when you talk about your heart, you don't care about deeds?"

"Zhe believes that no matter what his heart is, as long as he does good things, he is a gentleman."

"But when it comes to your heart, as long as you set out for the best, no matter whether you do good or bad, you are still a gentleman!"
