"You are..."
Yang Huaisheng hurriedly helped them up, but they didn't get up.
"Brother Zhongfang, if you don't blame these two stupid brothers and withdraw your resignation, then we can stand up!" After saying this, 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 plop.
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. We hope that 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 fight against the dissenters immediately lost their excuse, and they no longer dared to show up in the academy, and fled in a hurry 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 caressed Yang Huaisheng, so he 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. He had to wait for three to five months before it appeared in front of him like prey. And Wan Heshun is a male lion who is good at catching prey.
It turns out that there is a local wealthy family with the surname of Lu. The man in the mansion is named Lu Song, and he once held the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry. His son is called Lu Ju, who was born in Juren. He was appointed as an eunuch in Liuhe County and 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 policies 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 and 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. He thought that if he died of illness, his family would have no hope, and he became worried. After he passed away from the storm in Ducheng, he called his brother Lu Liang over and told him: "I am seriously ill now. Although there is an improvement, I am afraid that I will not die soon. You must listen to my wishes quickly and don't delay the important matter." .”
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, "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 his 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 body has become..." 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.
"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's gentle expression. He tried to read something on his face, but he couldn't guess it 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 the brother who speaks, I will 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 greedy 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.
"Shouldn't I be involved in this kind of thing?" Wan Heshun smiled at him, but there was a cold air coming from inside. "If you really said my name... the Lu family would probably..." 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 afraid of this act of pretending to be smart. He wiped his sweat and exited the hall.
Lu Liang sent his servant to report back to Master Lu, saying that King Wanjun agreed readily and recommended Master Lu to serve in the Imperial College. He needed to add another thousand taels of silver to honor Wei Huai. Although Lu Song hated this name deeply, but now for the sake of his son's official position, he did not care about anything. He asked his wife to open the door of the treasury, took out ten 100-tael silver notes from inside, ordered his servants to hold them, and ordered him 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 something." 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 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 it's not 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, fourth, fifth, and sixth pictures one after another... Until the last one, Wei Huai kept his face as cold as stone.
"You can tell me something..." Si Ye patted Wei Huai's 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, "Sir 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 I move the capital's treasury, I won't do it!"
