The capital city has reached the mid-winter season, the New Year's Eve is approaching, a heavy snowfall, the huge capital city is covered by ice and snow.
The wealthy people in the capital were not afraid of the severe cold, and the prime minister’s mansion was just a morning effort. The snow at the door was cleaned up, but today the post road was interrupted. The news that hundreds of refugees died of freezing in the suburbs of Beijing still spread to the capital. It caused a lot of waves in the capital.
Zhumen’s wine and meat are stinky, the road is frozen and dead, the crisis behind the prosperous Dakang Dynasty has gradually accumulated, and the good situation is not highlighted. When encountering such a catastrophe now, even small crises will be magnified...
At that time, the refugees on the Shandong side rebelled, but the post road was blocked and the news could not be passed on. However, the various forces in the capital each had their own secret channels, and such news could not be covered at all.
As a result, despite the ice and snow, Dai Gao had to go to the cabinet every day. The traitor, who was toiled day by day and was spurned by the world, seemed to have the taste of being in public all night and doing his best.
Of course, a Shandong is nothing. The foundation of the Dakang Dynasty is still solid. The news of the Shandong refugees' rebellion is not even as good as the current Beijing’s expectation and attention for next year’s Spring Festival. After all, once a scientific expedition involves all parties in the capital. The disputes and wrestling between the two have diminished the meaning of their own.
However, no matter how it fades, Lu Zheng is still the focus of attention of all parties, and the various stories surrounding Lu Zheng seem to have just begun, and this overwhelming university cannot bury everyone's enthusiasm for these things.
Xiyuan’s Da Zhai Jiao has begun again. Emperor Xin De’s desire for Taoism has not been disturbed by the rebellion of the Shandong refugees. In his world, this Manchu minister of civil and military affairs has even established great achievements in the past. In fact, emperors are just ordinary people.
Ordinary people can't escape life, old age, sickness and death. What Emperor Xinde pursues is a higher realm, a great realm of seeking immortality and entering the Tao! Therefore, the so-called refugees in Shandong are more like ants to him. Even if they die, as long as they die and die, there is nothing to be a pity at all!
The Dakang Dynasty was unattainable in the eyes of the world, but in the eyes of the emperor, all these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains belonged to him. He could pick and pick up all things in the world at will. As long as the world is not chaotic, what can be a little turbulence?
No one is good for a thousand days, and no one is red for flowers, let alone a country as big as Dakang? Therefore, above the sky of Xiyuan, there is still smoke rising, flags flying, and the rising smoke hovering up and connecting with the gloomy sky, covering the sky and the sun, making people daunting...
Dai Gao returned with a tired body. Before returning, he went to Xiyuan and had a real conversation with the old **** Feng Ren for a long time. This old man actually knew what he could try, and asked a lot of things!
Back home, Song Fu'er, the housekeeper, had been waiting for a long time, waiting for Dai Gao to go to the study, and when he arrived in the small living room, Dai Gao frowned and said, "Why didn't I see anything to eat today?"
Song Fu'er said "Oh," she said, "It's all a slave, **** it, I'm so busy, come here, let the master prepare food, and bring the ginseng soup made in the morning."
The whole house was busy for a while, and Song Fuer was waiting for Dai Gao to eat. He pondered for a while and said: "Master, this time will be interesting! The slave heard that both the prince and the king of Qin have found masters.
There is a talented man named Zhao Nan on the Prince's side. The last time he was in the township test in Zhili, he was not of a very high birth. This time he was received by the prince. It is said that his heart is different right away. He has been very active in recent days and he has only learned It is indeed quite high, but it is definitely a first-class master in the eight-part scientific examination. "
"As for King Qin, it was even more surprising. It turned out to be Ma Rusong. Master, this Ma Rusong is a disciple of Zhuang Chuhan. After the hometown examination, he announced that he would not take the Stereotype test again and followed the teacher for his whole life. I didn't want to move this time. I was tempted, thinking about participating in the test, and wanting to come has something to do with the rumors outside..."
Dai Gao didn't rush to eat, Song Fu'er told Dai Gao about the recent events in Beijing. Of course, everything Song Fu'er said has something to do with the next meeting.
After all, this time the trial caused such a big wave, and the reason was because Dai Gao made a ruthless remark, saying that he was going to invite relatives, which caused the capital to be messed up.
According to Song Fuer's current situation, the number of students who participated in the examination is about to set a record this time. Many talented scholars who did not want to participate in the examination, such as Ma Rusong and other scholarly scholars in detached officialdom, have all come out this time. To become Dai Gao's son-in-law, is there any shortcut for a poor family to jump into the Dragon Gate?
Song Fu'er couldn't figure out why Dai Gao did this, but he couldn't hide his deep concern about this matter. Now the young lady is at Fayuan Temple, and Lu Zheng is also at Fayuan Temple. This pair of men and women are happy and harmonious. How good is that?
But what did Dai Gao mean when he came up with such a thing? Isn't this to call all scholars in the world to stand on the opposite side of Lu Zheng?
Even if Lu Zheng has the talents and ability, but who can guarantee that he will be the first and the champion in the parliamentary and palace examinations? If Lu Zheng leaves the champion, will it be true that the young lady will marry someone else?
Song Fu'er couldn't imagine such a scene appearing, it was definitely a nightmare for Xiangfu, because with the character of the young lady, she might rather die than be so complacent.
If this is the case, why does Dai Gao want to make this move? Could it be that Dai Gao really hated Lu Zheng so much that he would rather bury his daughter than let Lu Zheng and Xiao Jingxiu become a true fruit?
Dai Gao listened to Song Fu'er's narration, but didn't express his opinion. He kept eating. He nodded gently and said, "Well, I know! This is very good. I have a lot of talents from the Dakang Dynasty. There will be more people this time. People who can stand out from the crowd are good things for Jiangshan and Shiji."
Song Fu'er groaned for a moment, and said, "But sir, if Master Lu misses his hand this time, with the character of Miss..."
"I just want him to fail, I just want to let this surnamed Lu stand aside! Humph, I'm a little bit talented, and think I'm great? Think about it a little bit, this surnamed Lu is already in the same position as us. If he is not beaten down at this time, once he is awarded a jinshi and the emperor uses him again, he will be our number one enemy! At that time, everything will be too late!" Dai Gao said, his tone indifferent , Some savoury taste.
Song Fu'er was speechless, with cold sweat on his forehead. He was really confused and had no idea what the old man was thinking about now!
"Okay, I'm full, let people accept it, don't care about me at night, I'll study!" Dai Gao stood up and turned into his small study.
Dai Gao's small study room is very narrow, too narrow to be able to produce charcoal basins, so copper pipes are buried on all sides of the study room and on the ground. In extremely cold weather like this, the hot water in the copper pipes circulates to ensure that the study is warm and comfortable.
Even if this arrangement is luxurious like a Xiangfu, only Dai Gao’s small study room has such conditions, so Dai Gao spends most of the time in the study room When he gets tired, he takes a nap, in fact, he is a human being. It is not an easy thing to be a traitor who is all scolding, and the effort is far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Without the cautious servant girl, without the flattering officials and subordinates, sitting in the small study room, he was the only one between the world and the earth. Every time at this time, Dai Gao felt that his mind could be completely relaxed.
He opened a "Four Books Collected Notes" and read it casually, with an unpredictable smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Little bunny boy, I really thought I would have nothing to do with you when I climbed Gao Zhi'er? Isn't it too naive?"
Dai Gao said to himself, saying so, but his expression was not so gloomy and gloomy as usual, but there was an appreciation in his smile.
Lu Zheng was shocked to climb Lu Changhe, but he was relieved immediately. In the Dakang Dynasty, the person who knew the Emperor Xin De best was called second, I am afraid that no one could be called first.
Lu Changhe had a relationship with the Lu family. This was a sign that Emperor Xin De was ready to use Lu Zheng. After Lu Zheng returned from the northwest, he resigned from all official positions in his body, and his attitude of studying at ease also gave him extra points.
Of course, Lu Zheng was able to get the attention of Emperor Xin De with such a humble status that day, there must be a reason behind it, but this reason is currently unknown to Dai Gao.
Dai Gao knew that he was old and had no successors. Once he had a change, the Dai family would inevitably decline. And Dai Gao bears all the infamy. In order to consolidate his position and demonstrate their extraordinaryness and dedication, what other simple and effective way is there than to liquidate Dai Gao!
Dai Gao is very clear about all this, and he can foresee that his worries will become reality in the near future. Fortunately, he has found a solution right now. Lu Zheng is very powerful and has a very high understanding. Ruzi can teach!
When a crisis of colliding with the prince came, he knew to call Dai Gao for help. This alone made Dai Gao very pleased. With Lu Zheng, even if Dai Gao is no longer in office, he does not need to worry that the descendants of the Dai family will be uprooted.
However, Dakang's affairs are never simple. Where does Dai Gao want to make this marriage so easy? Besides, from the standpoint of Dai Gao, he really regarded Xiaojing as his darling, thinking that the girl was going to marry like this, and she was married to someone who was absolutely politically opposed to him and didn’t know how to respect her elders. Little bastard, he was inexplicably uncomfortable.
How easy is it to marry his Dai Gao's daughter? Don't think about it without going through some hardships and trials. The methods Dai Gao used were extraordinary, and what Lu Zheng faced was a huge test, but Dai Gao was not tired of it and was very proud of his masterpiece...
