Lu Qian and Ximenye have focused their attention on the vacancy of Liuhe county magistrate in the recent period. Lu Qian used his family's resources to conduct activities in the bureaucracy. Ximenye helped him with suggestions and advice. Judging from the current situation, everything is going well. If there are no accidents, Lu Qian should have no big obstacles to fill this gap.
Lu Qian is rejoicing that he has been squandering for so many years, and now finally has the opportunity to show off his grand plans, he is very confident in his heart! Unexpectedly, at this moment, Lu Zheng suddenly brought such news.
Did King Qin come down to Jiangnan himself?
Because the first emperor purged Jiangnan and suppressed the Jiangnan power sect, the Jiangnan sect has been very sensitive to the royal family's every move for so many years.
King Qin had just been named the Prince of the Five Pearls, and it was definitely not a good thing to come to Jiangnan suddenly, and Lu Qian's heart suddenly became nervous. He wanted to ask more details, but for the sake of face, it was difficult to speak.
For Lu Zheng, he was reluctant to talk to Lu Qian in detail because Lu Qian couldn't get things done. Even in Lu's family, he was named Second Master, but he couldn't really be the master.
The atmosphere between father and son became awkward once again. Lu Qian was worried about Liuhe's missing variables, and his emotions were a bit low. In addition, he and Lu Zheng really had nothing to say, and waved their hands:
"Go, the old man was sick today, don't talk too much!" He paused, and then said: "Go home for a few more days. You must be calm before everything else, and then you can take it easy!"
Lu Zheng came out of Lu Qian's study and went to Lu Shanchang's residence.
Perhaps it was because of his old age. Lu Shanchang now lives alone, occupying an independent courtyard by himself. Although his position is supreme in the Lu family, his residence always gives people a sense of desertion.
In the past few days, he even felt the wind and cold, so he didn't go to the Yamen for several days, and the rules of setting provinces in the morning and dusk were also avoided. If it were not for Lu Zheng's special status, the minions would not dare to disturb the old lady's rest.
Lu Shanchang's mental state was really not good, his face turned pale, and he looked a lot thinner than before, and the silver thread on his head was bleak. He lay on his back in the chair and saw Lu Zheng enter the door. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Lu Zheng stepped forward to salute, and said: "Lu Zheng has seen grandfather!"
"Hmm! It's a hard work!" Lu Shanchang nodded, "I was ill, thinking that there will be no more days in my heart, and people suddenly became pessimistic. Hey, I didn't realize it was a whole life wasted, and the Lu family kept on my hands. Decline, to this day Jiangnan power sect is nothing but a name.
Sorry to the ancestors and ancestors, Wu Yan sees the ancestors and ancestors in the underground! "
Lu Zheng stood up and said, "My grandfather feels shameless, so he will not go for the time being. He will live for another 20 years and try to turn things around. No one can say that the rise and fall of the matter is right. It is 30 years in Hedong. In Hexi, whether the Lu Family is extremely peaceful may be just around the corner!"
Lu Shanchang was stunned for a moment, and his smile instantly turned bright, and finally couldn't help but let out a big laugh, and his whole spirit seemed to have improved because of this.
"My grandfather is old, and I will rely on your younger generation in the future. By the way, there shouldn't be any major problems with this examination, right?" Lu Shan said.
Lu Zheng said: "It's hard to say, I'm doing my best, but there are always variables. For example, I just received news that His Royal Highness Qin will be in Jiangnan soon. I wonder if this palace will come next time, whether it will be a blessing or a curse? "
Lu Shan raised his brows and raised his lips, but he stopped talking. After a long time, he said, "I heard that Master Nie Yong's entry into Beijing is a foregone conclusion?"
Lu Zheng said: "Yes, Master Nie has been in Jiangnan for five years, and when he got the opportunity to enter Beijing, he can no longer stop it. I can't do anything about it!"
"Everyone has aspirations, don't force it! From my perspective, Jiangnan is too young after all. Everyone says that Jiangnan has talents, but in fact, more people in Jiangnan put gold on their faces.
Jiangnan is too wealthy and talented to go out of the poor, Zhenger, your aptitude is already considered a first-class existence in Jiangnan, but a mountain is higher than a mountain, and a strong middle player has a strong middle player. After entering Beijing in the future, what will your path be? Go, you should consider it carefully..." Lu Shan said earnestly.
It would be difficult for ordinary people to understand these words, but Lu Zheng was a man of two generations and had rich life experience, so he would naturally understand a lot.
Lu Zheng always knew that the "talent" he was doing was nothing at all, and that taking the line of talent would not last long. In the Dakang Dynasty, there were trillions of people and talented talents. Lu Zheng never dared to put himself first.
Lu Zheng's reputation and reading were all for his fame, for the imperial examination, and to win a platform for himself, nothing more. He is very sober about this.
In fact, since Lu Zheng has mastered the many resources in Jiangnan, he has not even been so eager to pursue Yuan Yuan. Because through the ages, imperial examination masters have not known many, but to achieve great things, people who have done something do not necessarily have to be imperial superman.
Just like in modern society, people with high academic qualifications are definitely social elites, but not all the top elites come from the top students in the college entrance examination.
Thinking of this, Lu Zheng suddenly felt relieved. When King Qin came to Jiangnan, Lu Zheng suddenly felt that the relationship with him was actually very small. Jinling has six yamen, the five-army capital governor’s office, the procuratorate, the imperial court, and the governor-general. The governor, the number of high-ranking officials with a single second rank or above is more than ten fingers.
What is Lu Zheng in Jiangnan? It was just a trivial small character, even if he had a lot of strength in his hands, but these strengths existed in secret and were not known to outsiders at all.
The king of Qin is coming, representing the royal family and the emperor. These high-ranking nobles, the powerful and powerful should be much more nervous by Lu Zheng. Does Lu Zheng have a headache because of this?
Lu Zheng's thoughts suddenly became clear, and he said: "Grandfather, King Qin may want to uncover the Jiangnan scientific expedition. I want to let this news out.
After all, we were born in Jiangnan and grew up in Jiangnan. At a critical time, we still have to think about Jiangnan. "
Lu Shan squinted at Lu Zheng and nodded: "You can do these things. By the way, remember to stay at home for a few more days. Just after the rural exam, there will definitely be many talented people coming to visit. If you are not in Jiangning, Lu The lintel of the house is not so pretty.
I personally arranged your house in Jiangning, and you usually do things cheaply. Hong Quan is gone, and the lack of a housekeeper at home is always vacant. Do you think about it and choose a housekeeper? "
"Grandfather, this..." Lu Zheng was very surprised. He decided the choice of the Lu Family's chief butler. What would Lu Qian, a cheap daddy, think?
In addition to Lu Qian, there are third uncle Lu Chen and fourth uncle Lu Cheng, can they be convinced? Is the old man thinking about catching the ducks on the shelves and letting himself dominate the Lu family's affairs?
Lu Zheng shook his head secretly, and suddenly realized in his heart, he said: "Grandfather, don't worry, I will report this to my father. His elderly will definitely give some advice!"
...
The news that King Qin went to the south of the Yangtze River gradually spread from all walks of life in Jinling, and Jinling immediately caused a sensation.
There is anecdotal legend that Dai Yong, the imperial capital of the Imperial Court of the Southern Dynasty, gave the imperial court a zhezi. The zhezi was full of reports of various chaos in the Jiangnan Qiuwei. The zhezi was transferred to the hands of King Qin. During his trip to Jiangnan, King Qin wanted to conduct a thorough investigation. Cheating in the Qiuwei scientific examination!
Immediately after the scientific expedition was over, the papers were sealed up, and before they had time to review them, the news came out, and the whole Jiangnan became nervous in an instant.
Especially for the students who participated in the scientific examination this time, the opportunity was not easy to come by. If all the results of the scientific examination were invalidated because of the so-called fraud case in the scientific examination, it would be a great loss to all the examinees.
The so-called one stone caused a thousand waves, Jiangnan was restless overnight. After King Qin's yellow boat entered the Jiangnan, it landed at the Liuhe River Valley Wharf.
On this day, hundreds of civil and military officials from Jiangnan gathered in Liuhe and met His Royal Highness King Qin at the wharf in the river valley. Lu Shanchang was also in the crowd. In addition to Lu Shanchang, Ruan Jingnian and Gu Tianyang were all there.
The examiner Guo Zijian Jijiu Guo Song and the deputy examiner Hanlin Pangdi of the Hanlin Academy stood together, and Zhan Tianqi, the governor of Zhili and the chief governor of the Nanfu Army, stood in the front.
Jiangnan is different from other provinces. It is the seat of the Southern court. There are many officials and the show is amazing. After King Qin’s yellow boat docked, he disembarked in a formal suit and a hundred officials who had been waiting for a long time under the boat knelt down and said:
"Weichen see King Qin Qiansui!"
King Qin was a burly figure, overlooking the crowd, and gently raised his hand and said: "Get up, I have already told you not to be ostentatious, you just refuse to listen! Hey, take a look at this scene now, if it reaches the capital Go, I don't know how many rumors and rumors are going to cause!"
Baiguan stood up slowly, all bowing their heads without speaking. At this time, the atmosphere was subtle and no one wanted to be the first to jump out.
The various forces in the south of the Yangtze River are gathered, but King Qin has no power on this side, so although there are many people present, there are few people who are close to King Qin.
Surrounded by the crowd, King Qin got off the yellow boat, and a group of officials came together to flock him in the middle. Gu Tianyang was among the officials who were able to stand beside King Qin at this time, who needed Grade 2 or above.
Guo Zijian Jijiu Guo Song approached and bowed and said: "His Royal Highness, the minister heard that someone gave the court to the court, saying that the so-called Jiangnan scientific examination fraud is a common practice. The minister is Guo Song, the examiner of Jiangnan Township Examination. Today, the deputy chief examines Pang Di and other responsible persons. Officials at all levels of the township examination scientific examinations all called over and begged the prince to investigate!"
Guo Song paused, and said: "Now that the country test has just ended, the test papers of the candidates have been put into the library after their deaths, and the officials have not dared to open them. The prince has come in person and begs the prince to preside over the overall situation."
Guo Song suddenly said this, causing an uproar. Everyone knows Guo Song's temperament and cannot rub sand in his eyes. Unexpectedly, his temperament is so straight. King Qin just got off the boat and the wind and dust were not washed away. Guo Song actually left the matter. On the stage, is this to make the prince unable to get off the stage?
King Qin smiled slightly, his figure was burly, and his manner was noble. Facing Guo Song's sudden move, he calmly said:
"Master Guo has worked hard. Someone actually made a mistake on Jiangnan's scientific expeditions. What's wrong? A turnaround comes to my hand. When I get to Jiangnan, it's hard to find a place to stand?
Is it possible that Jiangnan is really an independent kingdom outside of Dakang. The needle cannot be inserted and the water cannot be splashed. My dignified prince of the Five Pearls is here by the emperor's order. Did you deliberately make me unable to get off the stage? "
