In the 19th day of the 11th month of the eighth year of Yuanfeng, the government was held in the Chui Gong Hall.

After winter, Zhao Xu rarely participated in today's political hearing.

So much so that when the governors of Dongfu started playing, they were all surprised.

However, they still followed normal etiquette and began to visit the two palaces.

Then, everyone began to report what happened today.

As the Right Prime Minister, Han Jiang first reported: "Unfortunately, Lu Ge, the general secretary, died at home on Xinchou (11th) of this month at the age of eighty-two..."

When Zhao Xu listened, his mind, which had been dozing off for a while, immediately sobered up.

Lu Ge's death does not matter.

Because he was already eighty-two years old, and he lived to be eighty-two years old in the Song Dynasty, so he was considered to be in mourning.

But the terrible thing is that his son is none other than Lu Bing, the newly appointed envoy of Xihelanhui Road Jinglue and Appeasement!

Sure enough, they heard Han Jiang bowing to him: "Ge Zibing is the new Commander-in-Chief of Xihe. He has been mourned. He went to Qinzhou to make a petition on the spot, begging to resign from Xihe and return home to mourn..."

"I am so frightened that I beg the benevolent sages of the two palaces, His Majesty the Emperor, for my holy decree!"

The two palaces behind the curtain encountered such a thing for the first time.

The newly appointed roadside commander has not yet taken up his duties. He has just arrived in Qinzhou and has to return to his hometown for mourning.

this……

Wouldn’t it be necessary to re-elect Xihebian Shuai again?

However, this is not a simple matter.

Now that all the ministers have basically taken office, it is really difficult to choose another minister who is suitable and has the right qualifications.

After all, everyone knows that Xihe now has two true gods - Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji!

Among the scholar-bureaucrats who dare to go and are qualified, there are only three or five of them.

Even fewer are willing to go.

The reason is that Gao Gongji and Xiang Zong returned to Xihe, which means that those who go to Xihe must have a complete falling out with these two people, and must offend these two people to death.

Otherwise, this person will never have the chance to travel to three provinces and two cities in his life.

Even if the emperor wanted to appoint him, it would be useless!

Hanlin bachelors and Zhongshushe people would not even die.

Even if they are willing to draft an imperial edict and send it to the Menxia Province, they will have to fight back even if they die - they dare not obey the imperial edict even if they are ordered to do so!

Even if he was a shameless person, he let him go just to please the emperor.

The Yushitai will also make a fuss, and it will be a dead end for remonstrances.

Not to mention the fierce debate between the government and the opposition.

This alone is enough to keep qualified civil servants and officials at arm's length.

Who wants to ruin their future?

Lu Bing was willing to go and was willing to go purely because he was fond of martial arts and wanted to make achievements, and had no intention of entering the three provinces or two governments.

As for the option of offending Xiang and Gao to death, no normal person would choose it.

A relative, and maybe someone willing to take the risk.

Who dares to offend the two palaces' beloved ones to the point of death?

Even if you don’t think about yourself, you still have to think about your children and grandchildren!

Now, Lu Bing was halfway there and couldn't leave.

Who to choose to go to Xihe has become a big question!

The two palaces didn't think so far, but they were also numb.

Lu Bing will keep his filial piety, and Xihe Roadside Commander will be chosen again. It will probably take another month or two to go back and forth.

There has been a vacancy for a handsome man by the Kexi River for more than half a year!

Since Li Xian left office, Xihe Road has been in a situation without a commander!

The two palaces naturally knew that this would not work.

A new Xi Hebian Shuai must be selected as soon as possible!

Therefore, the Empress Dowager asked: "Dear ministers, do you have any candidates for Xihe's commander-in-chief?"

Han Jiang tentatively said: "Perhaps, we can use Zhao Xi on Jingyuan Road..."

This is probably the only option now.

Because Zhao Xi was over sixty, he probably no longer wanted to be the prime minister.

The two palaces looked at each other, nodded, and were about to answer.

At this time, Lu Gongzhu came out with fluorene: "I think that Lu Huiqing from Hedong is the right candidate!"

Suddenly, the eyes of everyone in the entire hall lit up.

Han Jiang retreated silently and expressed his support for Lu Huiqing's choice with his actions. He even glanced at Lu Gong's work and silently gave Lu Gong's work a thumbs up.

good idea!

Send Lu Huiqing to Xihe!

The other governors in the capital also agreed with this.

Xihe is Lu Jifu’s destination!

As long as Lu Huiqing goes to Xihe, he will miss the three provinces and two governments in his life.

When it is time to become an official, with the title of one or even two Jiedushi, return to the countryside!

And as long as Lu Huiqing does not enter the three provinces and two governments, everyone will have a good dream when they sleep in the future.

As for whether Lu Huiqing will go?

Then it’s not up to him!

"Lu Huiqing?" The Empress Dowager in the curtain chewed the name and looked a little unhappy.

Of course she could not have imagined that the governors of the capital were plotting against Lu Huiqing.

She thought the governors were recommending the Fujianese.

She immediately shook her head: "Lu Huiqing, under the order of the late emperor, is the commander-in-chief of Hedong... It's not very good to move it to Xihe rashly, isn't it?"

Xiang looked at the Queen Mother and said nothing.

She has no attitude on this issue.

However, as soon as she thought about it, she asked: "Sixth brother, who do you think is suitable for the position of Xihebian handsome, Zhao Xi or Lu Huiqing?"

Zhao Xu naturally knew what the leaders were planning?

Although he didn't come back to his senses at first.

But Han Jiang's retreat and smile immediately woke him up - the grudge between Han Jiang and Lu Huiqing was equivalent to the grudge between Sima Guang and Wang Anshi.

In order to drive away Lu Huiqing, Han Jiang did not even serve as prime minister.

Can he be so kind now?

What's more, it was Lu Gongzhu who personally recommended Lu Huiqing?

Does the sun come out from the west?

So, Zhao Xu thought for a moment and understood Han Jiang, Xiao Jiujiu written by Lu Gong.

This is trying to tie Lu Huiqing to one place for the rest of his life!

"Lu Huiqing, Lu Huiqing..." Zhao Xu sighed in his heart.

No one in the new party or the old party likes him.

Whether it was now Han Jiang and Lu Gongzhu teaming up to trick Lu Huiqing, or later, Zhang Dun and Zeng Bu teamed up to stuff Lu Huiqing with dirty information in front of Zhao Xu.

It has been proved that this person's popularity has deteriorated to a certain extent.

It is said that even Wang Yu had great opinions and views on Lu Huiqing during his lifetime, and often passed dark information about Lu Huiqing in front of Wang Anshi.

but……

This seems to be something Lu Huiqing brought upon himself.

Zhao Xu recalled the Lu Huiqing he had met in his previous life.

The minister who was as aggressive and powerful as a sharp sword in the court.

It was after seeing Lu Huiqing's momentum at that time that he finally chose to follow Zhang Dun's suggestion and let Lu Huiqing make contributions along the border.

Now, looking back, he actually made the wrong choice.
