Chapter 277

After leaving the warm Pavilion, Jing Wengong and zhugewei both looked back at the door of the gilded white tiger gate which was closed by the guards of Zhaowu palace outside the warm Pavilion. Their faces showed a complex look of joy.

For Jing Wengong, who was born in a poor family, even though he is now a minister, he still can't forget the time when the three heroes of a poor family led the rise of their children. Today's new generation of students of a poor family show their glory again through the war in southern Xinjiang. He is naturally relieved, but he knows better who brought all this, Among the young generation of Daqian, only Lu que can break the current court structure, and only Lu que has the ability and capital to make the xungui family compromise and give way to the prosperous scene that half of the court officials left their poor families 20 years ago.

For example, today, the star war has been completely reversed to the side of Da Qian, and the Nanli royal family is willing to surrender. As the leader of the war, Lu que naturally made the first contribution after the war. With the credit, his position in the military of waige will be completely stabilized, even comparable to his father Lu Chun.

When Lu's position is completely stable, that day is the time for the cold gate to rise again. Jing Wengong knew in his heart that there was no lack of talent in the poor family, just the lack of opportunities. The poor students could do what the xungui family children could do, and the hardworking poor students could still do what the xungui family children could not. However, the emperor who needed to balance all forces in the court could not give this opportunity directly to the poor family, Then only after consolidating his power and position, can he open the door to promotion for the poor.

As soon as Jing Wengong thought that those poor students who had experienced hardships since childhood and knew more about the people's livelihood of Da Qian had become the mainstream of the court again, he could not help but be excited.

Hundreds of years ago, Bai Lijia, who led the rise of a poor family more than 20 years ago, died of illness. Ji Zhiheng retired to the mountains. Although Lu Chun was granted the position of Duke of the state, he did not care about military and political affairs since he returned to Daqian again. Although he was invited by the emperor to serve as military minister this time, he was only responsible for the huge and complicated deployment of military resources, And the most important strategic layout is given to his son Lu que, who obviously has the intention of becoming an official.

Because his father was Lu Chun, the leader of the poor family, his mother was Yu Chuqing, the princess of the assistant governor, and he was also the son of the Weiguo government, the royal family, the poor family, and many top dignitaries all chose to stand behind him. His far superior talent and calm mind also made him have the potential to become a real leader in the future Da Qian Dynasty hall. As long as the dust of the war in southern Xinjiang is settled, no one can stop the land shortage. It can be said that the real general trend has become.

Through these months of contact, Jing Wengong believes that Lu que is the great talent who can stabilize the imperial court, reform the official administration, and return the people of the world a clear and fair court. Now that southern Xinjiang has won the battle and recovered the 36 counties in southern Xinjiang, Da qian can transfer troops from Southern Xinjiang to the north, and when the time is ripe, he can go out of the pass again to sweep the north, Complete the restoration of the territory of the ancient three generations.

Zhuge Wei, who looks away from the door of the warm Pavilion, takes a look at Jing Wengong. Jing Wengong is much older than his elder brother zhugeju, even several years older than his elder brother. He was a captain of the sky fire army during the northern Xinjiang war, a general of the sky fire army during the northern expedition to the grassland, and then a former general of the Longyu army, a deputy commander of the fast wind army, a commander of the Huxiao army, and now a secretary of the Ministry of war. He has always been known for his mature and prudent fighting style, It was the first time that he saw such a happy expression on Jing Wengong's face.

Zhuge Wei naturally understood why Jing Wengong showed such an expression. He suddenly thought of the tacit understanding between his nephew Zhuge Yan and Lu Que in the warm Pavilion. He had only seen the tacit understanding between his elder brother Zhuge Ju and Duke Lu Chun.

As a young Duke of the auxiliary state, Zhuge Yan, who will inherit the Duke of Zhuge's family, will make friends with Lu Que in the future, making Zhuge's family bound to Lu Que's chariot. However, at this time, Zhuge Wei did not have any worry in his heart, on the contrary, he had a little expectation.

Zhugeju, the elder brother who had a good relationship with the state of Wei at that time, decided to abandon literature and join the new army of Tianhuo under the opposition of his father. The elder brother's choice made Zhuge's family become the first commander in charge of the army more than 200 years after the founding of the state of Da Qian. Lu Que and Zhuge Yan are just like Lu Chun and Zhuge Ju in those days. He is looking forward to his nephew who made such a choice. Like his elder brother, he can inject new vitality into Zhuge family, which has been handed down for more than 200 years, and make Zhuge family prosperous forever.

"Lord Zhuge, why don't you go? What are you thinking?" Jing Wengong, who had been restrained, saw that Zhuge Wei was standing there with a little trance. He couldn't help asking curiously.

"Oh ~" ZHUGE Wei was awakened by Jing Wengong's words, and his mind slightly changed, and he said, "there are some things that should not be asked by the lower officials, but they are really curious. Now that the peace of Southern Xinjiang is coming, why does Lu Shuai have to allocate so much food and grass to Zhongyang king."

"This ~" Jing Wengong was stunned. Out of his excitement, he really did not think about this issue. If the Nanli royal family really chose to surrender, the war in southern Xinjiang would end in two or three months. Therefore, relying on the grain reserves in the front-line army and the grain reserves in the Southern granary in Qingquan City, it would be enough to support the Yulin, the thunder, the gale, the wind Tiger roar four legions three months time. Now, however, Lu Kui has asked for the allocation of enough grain and grass for 300000 troops in March, and these grain and grass are not stored in the warehouses in the south, but directly allocated to the front line, which is somewhat unusual.

To know that this batch of military grain is not the number of troops stationed without war, but the number of military grain in wartime. Jing Wengong calculated roughly in his mind that the wind force and tiger roaring force add up to 300000 people, and the military grain required in March should be at least 1.5 million tons, which is still the case that the canal can be used to transport from Qianyuan city to zhennanguan, saving a lot of manpower.

If the war subsides, there is no need to transport such a large amount of military grain to the front of the army. Since Lu que did so, he did not mean to stop the war. Thinking of this, Jing Wengong could not help frowning, because if the Nanli royal family really surrendered, the grain and grass in the front-line army would be enough. If this was Nanli's strategy, it could be decided by the development of the situation. There was no need to transport the grain now.

After thinking for a while, Jing Wengong turned and looked at the warm Pavilion of Zhaowu hall behind him. Then he shook his head and said, "although Lu Shuai is young, his mind and vision are beyond our reach. Since he said so, he must have a plan in his heart. Lu Shuai just didn't make it clear. We'd better not speculate too much. "

"What Lord Jing said is reasonable." Zhuge Wei nodded after hearing the speech. Although he was not a member of the military, he had a father who was the prime minister and a nephew who was walking in waige. Zhuge Wei also knew a lot about the battle in southern Xinjiang. He was astonished by Lu's layout of accumulating momentum, and his tactical style of using force without exertion, and his troops were highly valued, But his own loss is very small, which makes him marvel. Zhuge Wei knew that the young talents in the warm Pavilion could always see things that others couldn't see. Since he arranged it in this way, there was a reason for him.

"Mr. Zhuge, you have to go to the Xishan hunting ground and report to your majesty what happened today. You'd better leave early. I'll go to the household department to discuss the grain and grass transportation with them." Jing Wengong looked at Zhuge Wei with strange eyes and said.

Seeing Jing Wengong's eyes, Zhuge Wei was shocked. He was Jingzhao's official. It was really inappropriate for him to ask such a question. Just now, he was very curious. When he asked again, he already regretted it. He quickly arched his hand to Jing Wengong and said, "what Lord Jing said is that I'm going to meet your Majesty in the west mountain, I'll leave first

Looking at zhugewei who left in a hurry, Jing Wengong's eyes flashed a glimmer of light. He and zhugeju were bloody robes, but it didn't mean that he had a good feeling for zhugewei who was a civil servant. In his eyes, there were too few hot-blooded men among xungui. If there were not such people as Gu Huairen and zhugeju, he would hardly have a good feeling for xungui, Even the ancestors of these people made great contributions to Daqian.

At this time, Jing Wengong couldn't help thinking of his lost classmate, the eldest son of a wise family who had been defending Jiashan fortress under the Qingyang army and died for his country. If it wasn't for this man, he might have a worse impression on Xun GUI. Thinking of his deceased friend, Jing Wengong sighed, looked back at the closed warm Pavilion, and walked out of Zhaowu hall.

At this time, Lu que, who was in the warm Pavilion, was pacing around the newly built sand table of Southern Xinjiang. His eyes looked at the direction of Nanli on the sand table from time to time. In his mind, he kept recalling any subtle change of Li Kexin's expression. He always felt that the king of Nanli would not make such a decision. There must be another purpose behind this.

Before the rise of Lu Chun, the Lu family in Yushan County was a well-known jade craftsman in the whole Daqian area. From the royal family to the rich businessmen, there was an endless stream of people who took jade materials to the Lu family to carve. Lu que has studied carving with his father since childhood. Now he combines the carving techniques of the north and the south, and develops micro carving on this basis. Although his artistic attainments are not as good as those of the ancient masters, they are absolutely not bad.

Lu que once carefully observed the painting of misty rain on rivers and mountains, which was hung in Zhuge Yan's study and was written by Nanli Wang himself. He could feel a king's worry about the unstable country and his determination to lean towards the sky with one hand in his hand from the mountains and trees covered by smoke.

And after seeing the painting, Lu que was very interested in the origin of the painting, and also made a special investigation. As far as he knows, the painting of misty rain in the mountains and rivers was the work of Ming Zhi when Nanli king was a prince. In order to expand his influence, the painting was once sold at public auction in the commercial houses of Nanli King capital. It is said that Daqian, Nanli, Tianxing and many merchants from Shahai countries participated in the auction at that time. Finally, the painting was bought at a high price by the Tianxing merchant MI, To this day, Lu que has heard about it in the school.

However, not long after MI bought the painting, he was destroyed by an Huang, and his family property fell into the hands of an Huang. Somehow, this painting came to Daqian after many twists and turns, and was later bought by Zhuge Yan.

It can be seen from Lu Que in the painting of misty rain on rivers and mountains that Nanli Wang, as the author of this painting, is a king who really cherishes rivers and mountains, has great courage and perseverance. No matter what critical situation he faces, his choice should not be to compromise and give way, but to rise to difficulties. The ten-year reform of Nanli also proves this, Lu que didn't believe in the clan coup, so he let Nanli King make the decision to surrender.

Moreover, in Lu Que's mind, he didn't want Nanli to surrender. He was in charge of the whole situation of Nanli, and he didn't want to see the outcome of one city and one place. Compared with Nanli's surrender, he hoped that the army of Da Qian would plough the kingdom of Nanli with iron and fire, and thoroughly eradicate the forces that had been developing for thousands of years.

The reason why Lu que thinks so is that after carefully looking through Nanli's intelligence and the files in the Imperial Palace Library, he has no more liking for the major clans of Nanli than the three clans of Zhengqing and local tyrants of Tianxing. These clans vied for power and profit in the Dynasty and exploited the common people in the opposition. It can be said that they were moths with only home but no country in their hearts. Big rats stole warehouses and big traitors stole the country. That's what they said.

So in Lu Que's mind, even if the surrender of Nanli royal family was true, he didn't want to accept it, because it was definitely not only the Li family involved. If you accept Li's surrender, you don't know how many compromises there will be in the future, and no one knows how many shady tricks will be brewing in the land that is now away from the south. It's not in Daqian's interest. It's better to send troops to destroy the country once and for all.

Thinking of this, Lu Kuo sighed and sat back in his seat, burying his whole body in the wide seat, with deep worry on his face.

Lu que didn't know what decision Zhuge Wei's uncle would make when he sent the letter of Nanli to Xishan and explained it to the emperor. Can the emperor resist the temptation of annexing Nanli without a single soldier.

However, Lu que knew that if the emperor agreed to leave the royal family in the south, it would inevitably lay a hidden danger for the future Da Qian. Even last year's rebellion of the eighteen Marquis's house might be staged again in the future Da Qian capital. This time may be more than ten years, or decades, or more than a hundred years, but no matter how long, such things will inevitably happen, because throughout history, No one who had been a royal family would be willing to serve as a minister, especially under the premise of such a decline.

"I only hope father and mother can dissuade your majesty." Lu que murmured to the open warm Pavilion. He knew that with his father's and mother's talent and experience, he could certainly see the disadvantages. Instead of accepting Nanli's surrender, he might as well take advantage of his weakness to destroy his country. However, the emperor's uncle was growing in power, and he was not sure whether his parents could remonstrate.

Just as Lu que was constantly thinking, the front door of the warm pavilion was pushed open. Lu que looked out from the open door. After circling in the sky for several times, the figure of the white jackdaw flew straight in from the open door like a white lightning.

Just after the white jackdaw flew into the warm Pavilion, two royal guards of Zhaowu hall, who were in front of the warm Pavilion door, closed the warm Pavilion door again. Lu que stayed in the Zhaowu hall for nearly half a year. Naturally, these royal guards knew who the owner of the white jackdaw was and why he came here. It was strange for a long time.

But this time, the white feather jackdaw did not fall directly on Lu Que's shoulder as usual, or on the long table in front of him, but directly on the ground. Lu que fixed his eyes and saw that on the long beak of the white feather jackdaw, there was a colorful poisonous snake in his mouth. Although the snake was still winding and wriggling, Lu que could feel that the poisonous snake had lost its breath of life, and now it was still moving, just because it had just died.

The white jackdaw threw the snake on the ground and pecked at it with its long beak. Soon a green snake gall was pecked out by it and swallowed it. After eating the snake gall, the white jackdaw showed an expression of great enjoyment on his face. After shaking his head and tail for a while, he flew to the table in front of Lu que, He raised his right paw to Lu que.

Looking at the bloodstain on the long beak of the white jackdaw, Lu can't help laughing and crying. This time last year, he saw the bloodstain on the beak of the white jackdaw. Because he was worried about the safety of Gu Qingcheng, he rushed to Qingquan county from Yusi Lake in the starry night. Now I think the bloodstain on the beak of the white jackdaw at that time should be because he pecked the snake gall on the cliff that was killed by Le Miaoer.

He cleaned the blood on the beak of the white Jackdaw and combed the disordered feathers blown by the air in the sky for him. Lu kuocai took out the letter from Gu Qingcheng from the long copper tube.

When he unfolded the cylinder of silk, he just read the first few lines. Lu's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed that Pingshan pass had been broken and Xie Daoheng had been captured. This means that Yan Tuohai, the Duke of Wucheng, and King Tianxing, on the South Bank of Huangyan River, are under the threat of Gu Qingcheng. As long as Gu Qingcheng can meet the army on the North Bank of Huangyan River and make an appointment with Huai Ren, Then the army of xiyuanze could be defeated by the north and the south, and the army would come to the capital of Tianxing king. At that time, even if Qiu Xu was against heaven, there would be no way to return to heaven.

Lu que was happy for a while. He continued to look down and found that the next thing in the letter was Gu Qingcheng's plan to use Xie Daoheng as a guide to induce the three families of Tianxing Zhengqing to turn against each other, and then profit from it. Lu que could not help nodding his head. If Gu Qingcheng's plan could be carried out smoothly, Tianxing could be pacified before the new year's festival.
