From the king to the common people, when they compete with others, they often eliminate dissidents first, or let those who are neutral to forcibly take sides, otherwise they will be eliminated before the two tigers fight. At this moment, what Lu Hongyan said , it is clear that he, the chief minister, is asked to give up the Qianlong he supports, but after all, they are still ministers and cannot discuss the king's affairs indiscriminately, at least not explicitly.
The Prime Minister suddenly had no expression on his face and stared at him. After a while, Xiao Qinhe grabbed the jade pot on the table, smashed it directly on Lu Shangshu's head, and cursed angrily: "You Lu Hongyan are so big." Courage!"
Han Yan, who was next to Lu Hongyan, seemed to have forgotten the previous instructions of the minister, and took the initiative to block the jade pot. As soon as he calmed down his energy, the prime minister suddenly turned over the desk, and his body jumped like thunder and was pushed to his side. , kicking him out of the house, a master who could test the gun with the Spear Immortal.
Han Yan didn't react and staggered to his feet, only to be kicked away by the Prime Minister again.
Han Yan didn't dare to get up from his stomach, while Lu Shangshu just sat upright without any intention of interceding.
The Prime Minister looked at the guest of the Lu family who did not dare to stand up, and snorted coldly, then turned his head decisively, and sat down where he was, regardless of whether the man dared to get up next. After all, as the saying goes, the Prime Minister can hold a boat in his belly. With the force of a boat and one person, it can make people turn over.
Lu Shangshu ignored the man outside and continued to talk to the prime minister: "Your Excellency, you know that if you are full, you will lose, and if you are too much, you will not be enough. For more than ten years, your Excellency, you have repaired and filled the gaps, built roads called Jindao, built more guest posts, and brought Chen Guoliu to the throne." The states were united, trade and transportation became smoother, and scholars were encouraged to serve as officials and engage in politics. At the same time, taxes were reduced. Even the late emperor took the lead in recruiting Jianghu. Now the Chen State is prosperous, but if it wants to survive for a long time, or even go further, it has to change its politics."
Lu Shangshu added: "But sir, you should know the truth about retirement after success. Otherwise, misfortune and fortune will be unpredictable, and you will go against the will of nature and eventually fall. General Mingze is a lesson learned from the past. When his achievements are so great that your Majesty, Although he was reused, he still couldn’t escape the final fate of his death.”
The prime minister suddenly became furious and clenched his fist. The generals and scholars in the world are not as talented as him, and the warriors are not as brave as him. In fact, he is like a tiger. This clenched fist of a scholar can hit any civil servant. If at this moment, This punch fell deeply, and Master Shangshu would definitely die here.
But the Prime Minister has been thinking over and over again. If he is killed now, his party in the court may fall apart. As the chief minister, he is not responsible for his official duties and uses lynching. His long-planned operations will be greatly hindered. In the end, the Prime Minister He still released his tiger fist, turned to Lu Hongyan with his fingers and cursed: "Lu Hongyan, you are confusing the public with your evil words and slandering the deceased hero. Believe it or not, your life will be taken now!"
Lu Hongyan did not show any fear, but instead drank tea leisurely. The tea cup fell gently, and then he said slowly: "Of course I believe it. Your Majesty has given you the privilege. Your Majesty has given me the privilege to approve the punishment. It does not need to be approved by Your Majesty. Even if I kill the subordinate now, it will not matter." People who dare to criticize are just like the late emperor who trusted General Mingze, so he can rest assured of everything."
Xiangfu Xiao Qinhe suddenly admired this minister. He was a proud scholar. At this time, he dared to imply that he would end up like General Mingze.
The Prime Minister is calm and composed. When he is active, he is like a tiger general on the battlefield. When he is still, he is like everyone standing in peace. The scholars admire him. He is one of the few national scholars in the world who has achieved the ultimate in civil and military affairs. The Prime Minister asked softly: "Who are you, Lu Hongyan, loyal to?" ?The eldest prince is fond of martial arts and has been at the border for many years. Unlike His Majesty, who was a meritorious man in the past, he really wants to be the second victorious general, and the fourth prince is an out-and-out waste. Is it possible that you want a The prince succeeds to the throne?"
Lu Shangshu replied quietly: "Actually, the prime minister and I have always been the same. We are loyal to the entire Chen Kingdom, not to a certain person. If we are not loyal to the king, we are loyal to the benevolent government."
The Prime Minister sat for a long time without saying a word. Lu Hongyan also knew that the purpose of coming here was achieved, so he stood up and said goodbye.
After Lu Hongyan left, the prime minister murmured: "I wiped your mother's face."
Lu Shangshu helped Han Yan to walk outside the Prime Minister's Mansion. When he walked out of the door, Han Yan pushed Master Shangshu away. Perhaps he was a little pretentious and didn't want others to see that he, a grown man, had to be helped out.
Regardless of his refusal, Lu Shangshu forcibly grabbed one of his hands and said jokingly: "Don't you look down on civil servants on weekdays? I support you and trample all the Jinyu City officials. What happened today? It's because of him Xiao Qinhe He is older than me. He was kicked and he didn’t dare to get up. Oh! No, it was two kicks!"
Han Yan was angered by this and asked instead, "Sir, why is this Xiangfu still in the Dao Condensation Realm?"
Lu Shangshu stopped mocking him and explained: "Twenty-three years ago, Zhang Mingze, the son of the Minister of Industry and Commerce, was appointed as the general, Xiao Qinhe was appointed as the prime minister, and the imperial master Wang Qianzhong founded the Metropolitan Procuratorate and served as the supervisor. These three He is known as the three pillars of the country, and Xiangfu Xiao Qinhe was originally from a family of generals, but he was leading troops in battles and commanding the three armies. Compared with Zhang Mingze, he felt inferior to him, so he retired and became the prime minister. At the beginning, all civil servants still They looked down on this prime minister who was a general, and people wrote letters of impeachment. However, when the prime minister gradually showed his talent and courage, the court officials gradually shut up. Who knew that this prime minister was a real civil and military champion."
Han Yan smiled bitterly and said: "What a strange man who puts scholars to shame and warriors to shame."
Lu Hongyan looked at the weather and saw that it was really going to rain. He quickly got into the carriage and Han Yan rode back home.
On the way, Lu Hongyan then said to Han Yan: "But it is a pity that it is here. After the epidemic in Luping Valley seventeen years ago, the general died for his country, and the country was stable. The emperor Qianzhong evaded the world to pursue martial arts, but there has been no news yet. Only one of the three pillars of Chen State can withstand this storm. Chen State needs a new victorious general, or a king with thunderous tactics."
The woman in the carriage turned a blind eye. National affairs would never have anything to do with a woman like him. As for Han Yan, a warrior pursuing martial arts, he didn't care about the rise and fall of the country. Therefore, Lu Shangshu's words still caused uproar. Not surprised.
Seeing that the martial arts master was indifferent to this, he revealed another purpose of his trip: "Actually, I brought you to see Xiao Qinhe this time because of you. There are countless heroes in the world. You are not bad at talent. If you are willing to restrain your arrogance, I believe Sooner or later you will be able to fight the Gun Immortal again."
Han Yan smiled softly, without revealing his expression. Naturally, Lord Shangshu didn't know, but Han Yan suddenly galloped up his horse and was bound to arrive before the rain fell. Lord Shangshu smiled with satisfaction, even happier than his own incompetent son, the prodigal son, had turned around.
