Sima Guang looked at Han Jiang's face and felt sick in his heart.
I can't get it again!
Because Lu Gongzu, Han Wei, and Feng Jing were watching from the side, and Yanbo Yanbo and Zhang Fangping would also come later.
Don’t scholar-bureaucrats only care about that little bit of dignity?
Han Jiang's attitude has dropped so low. If he continues to be stubborn, others will say that Sima Guang does not know what is good and what is good.
No one in the palace or in the world would sympathize with him.
Therefore, Sima Guang could only nod his head: "I will visit you in a few days. I hope Zihua won't find my words unpleasant..."
Han Jiang smiled when he heard this: "It's my great fortune that you can come and give me advice!"
As long as things can be done, Han Zihua is willing to surrender Sima Jun.
Because Sima Guang is the red flag of the old party!
Feng Jing watched from the side and shook his head in his heart: "Han Zihua is asking for trouble!"
He still doesn't know what Sima Twelve would do if he had the opportunity to dictate the law of war.
It’s good to have a gun and a stick!
I'm afraid that I'm going to criticize you for my righteousness, and I'm going to flog him from the moral high ground!
However, what does this have to do with his current life?
He already got what he wanted.
Lu Gongzhu watched from the side as Sima Guang agreed to Han Jiang's request. He immediately smiled and ordered his servants: "Hurry and prepare wine. I will never return home without getting drunk with all the wise men tonight!"
…
A quarter of an hour later, Wen Yanbo and Zhang Fangping also arrived.
Naturally, Lu Gongzhu went out to welcome them in person and invited the two senators to the back house.
Wen Yanbo glanced at the elders sitting together in the middle of the courtyard.
He took a deep look at Lu Gongzhu: "Uncle Hui really worked hard!"
"It's all for state affairs!" Lu Gongzhu said.
He also wanted to achieve something when he entered Beijing this time!
He is also very ambitious and wants to make a difference!
What scholar-bureaucrats pursue throughout their lives are only three things: establishing reputation, establishing virtue, and performing meritorious services.
He said that he had no hope. The great Confucians of the present generation were as bright as the stars, including Zhou Dunyi, Hu Yuan, and Shao Yong before them, and Wang Anshi, Zhang Zai, and Er Cheng behind them!
Living in the same era as these people is the luck and misfortune of all scholar-officials!
The mountains are high and there is no challenge!
Establishing moral character... probably won't be able to establish it.
Only meritorious service is left!
Assist the young master, bring peace to the world, and rejuvenate the country.
If he can do this, then his works by Lu Gong will be as immortal as the famous minister Fan Wenzhenggong of the previous generation.
Wen Yanbo chuckled.
Zhang Fangping said meaningfully: "The road ahead is long, Uncle Hui, please take it seriously!"
Zhang Fangping could probably guess what Lu Gong wanted to do.
However... it's difficult!
Mr. Lu looked at Zhang Fangping and nodded seriously.
While the three of them were talking, they arrived in the courtyard.
Everyone has stood up to greet him.
"Grand Master..."
"Zhangde..."
Wen Yanbo and Zhang Fangping returned the greetings one by one, and then they were invited by Lu Gong to sit down.
Lu Gongzhu personally poured wine for the two elders: "This is the lamb wine made by a brewing master specially hired from Yuxian Zhengdian..."
"We specially selected the Jie sheep from Xihe Road, selected the fattest and tenderest parts, boiled them into sheep soup and then added them to glutinous rice for fermentation..."
“The most authentic taste…”
"It is also the most suitable place for two elders to enjoy tea..."
Wen Yanbo's eyes lit up as he listened.
The lamb wine from Yuxianzhengdian is one of the most expensive wines in Bianjing, and the most common one costs a hundred cents.
So he took a sip.
After drinking the white and moist wine, a sweet aftertaste lingers on your tongue.
Wen Yanbo praised: "Good wine! Good wine!"
He looked at Sima Guang: "Jun Shi, why don't you try it..."
Sima Guang shook his head and said: "A certain person has never drank alcohol in his life..."
Yes!
This is because he has not drank alcohol since he was a child.
However, at ordinary banquets, he would still politely take a sip of tea.
However, today's wine, Mr. Lu just said, was made from Jie Yang from Xihe Road.
Is that wine? is blood!
Made from human blood!
Lu Gongzhu was watching from the side and said to Wen Yanbo: "The grand master came at the right time. Just now, Junshi had already agreed to Zihua and said that he would come to the capital hall in a few days to ask the grand master for advice on military service..."
Sima Guang frowned slightly. When did he agree to go to the capital hall? Are you still asking Wen Yanbo for advice on military service in person?
Wen Yanbo is here, what should I tell him? How to find fault?
However, it was difficult for him to expose it, so he could only remain silent.
Wen Yanbo laughed. He looked at Sima Guang and said, "When will Junshi come to the capital hall?"
"I must be prepared, otherwise if I am left speechless by Jun Shi in public, I may lose my face!"
Sima Guang could only bite the bullet and say, "I don't dare!"
As soon as Wen Yanbo saw Sima Guang's appearance, he knew that this stubborn bull was most likely the result of Mr. Lu's fight before he agreed.
So he couldn't help but say in his heart: "Lu San really doesn't treat me as an outsider!"
Now use him as a raft!
If Wen Yanbo's past temper was followed, he would definitely be able to get angry.
But now, Grand Master Wen also wants to ask for help from Duke Lu!
The Lu family in Yongqiu has a close relationship with the court for four generations!
There are many things that other ministers find difficult to say, dare not say, or cannot say.
The Lu family has no taboos!
After all, the Lu family gave gifts to four generations of emperors.
The wives of the Lu family and the queen mother and queen mother in the palace had handkerchiefs earlier.
And he, Wen Yanbo, wanted to send a great-granddaughter into the palace.
He was embarrassed and not suitable to talk about this matter in front of the two palaces. He had to let Mr. Lu do it.
For the sake of the wealth of his descendants, Wen Yanbo can only endure and serve the country!
Zhang Fangping was beside him, looked at Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo, then took a deep look at Lu Gongzu, and quietly gave Lu Gongzu a thumbs up.
He could hold Sima Guang up, and he could also get Wen Yanbo, an old man, to cooperate.
Lu Gongzhu is really amazing!
No wonder the Lu family has been able to produce prime ministers for generations!
In terms of grasping and utilizing people's hearts, few people can match it.
Therefore, Zhang Fangping took the opportunity to say to Sima Guang: "The imperial master is at the helm, Zihua is in charge, and Junshi is filling in the gaps. I believe that we will be able to bring peace to everyone and make the world happy!"
He raised his glass again: "My lords, for this wonderful thing, you should drink a full glass!"
So, all the elders raised their glasses one after another, and drank them all again with a very face-saving smile.
Sima Guang felt very aggrieved.
It felt like there was a blockage in my heart, and my breathing was not smooth.
He also saw that these senior ministers were all working together to bring him up, Sima Guang.
But he still couldn't refuse!
If he refuses, he will be ignorant of good and evil and inhumane, and will make people in the world think that he, Sima Guang, is a arrogant man!
In that case, no matter what he wants to say, no one will listen.
Who would listen to a person who refuses to cooperate even if he is coaxed, encouraged, offered, or even offered good words?
No normal person would listen!
