Just...

When Mr. Lu returned home, it was almost evening.

The cold wind was blowing on the streets of Yulin Alley, and the soldiers from Kaifeng Prefecture were patrolling the streets in front of Yulin Alley.

Seeing him coming back on horseback, surrounded by Yuan Sui, he quickly stepped aside.

However, the two newsboys were very courageous. They approached tentatively and shouted: "Today's Bianjing Newspaper - Jiaozhi thieves Yuan Zheng invaded our territory during the festival and killed and plundered officials and people! Our newspaper's commentator Hu Feipan made a sharp comment on this Review!”

Mr. Lu listened, his brows twitching.

I didn't want to pay attention to it, but after hesitating for a while, I still told Yuan Sui to buy a copy of "Bianjing New News".

It still smells like ink when I hold it. It is obviously a tabloid that has just been printed.

Lu Gongzhu's inner worries became even deeper.

So who is the person behind the so-called "Bianjing News"?

In fact, no one in the hall is stupid.

I had already vaguely guessed something about it.

I just don’t have evidence and don’t dare to talk nonsense.

Therefore, now everyone in the capital actually reads the "Bianjing News" privately.

Some people even pinched their noses and copied down the words about Hu Feipan.

What for?

Of course, no need to say more!

Mr. Lu took the Bianjing Newspaper and returned home, where his family immediately greeted him.

But when everyone saw Mr. Lu's expression, they were too understanding and didn't ask any more questions.

Just welcome him into the inner house.

However, Mr. Lu didn't even change his clothes and went directly into the study, only asking Lu Xizhe to follow him in.

As soon as he entered the study, Lu Gongzhu asked Lu Xizhe: "Sima Junshi is ill today... If you went to Junshi's house to pay a visit, have you ever inquired about Junshi's condition?"

"Your Majesty..." Lu Xizhe also saw that Mr. Lu's expression was not good, and immediately corrected his attitude: "Sima Xianggong's condition is not good... I heard from the imperial doctor that it was due to overwork, and the old illness has not been cured... "

"I'm afraid I need to rest for more than ten days before I have a chance to recover..."

Lu Gongzhu sighed.

Sima Guang really fell ill!

Although in the past, he always felt that Sima Junshi was too stubborn, stubborn and did not know how to adapt.

But what he saw in the capital hall today made Lu Gongzhu miss Ma Guang.

If Sima Guang were here, given his temper, he would definitely go against the opinions of the Prime Minister and the two palaces and insist on telling the officials in front of the emperor not to touch the border.

Only he can say this, dares to say it, and is willing to say it.

Lu Xizhe observed Lu Gongzhu's expression and asked cautiously: "Sir, do you think the capital, the two palaces, and the officials all want to go to war?"

Lu Gongzhu nodded and said: "The palace has already issued a decree. Di Zijia will lead the Yulong Division to set off in advance..."

Lu Xizhe's eyes suddenly lit up.

Xinfa and those who like Xinfa have one thing in common - the pursuit of frontier achievements and the expansion of territory!

This is the reason why the New Party has been continuously supported by scholar-bureaucrats.

This is also the reason why it is increasingly difficult for the old party and its faction to attract young people.

the reason is simple.

One advocated opening up territories and restoring the Han and Tang Dynasties.

A man who just wants to survive, under the pretext of recuperating, is extremely afraid of war.

If you were a young person, who would you choose?

It was Lu Gongzhu and Sima Guang who went back to when they were twenty years old.

They will also switch sides and join Wang Anshi's camp!

This is why the new party will eventually win.

The new party has the support of most young scholar-officials - at least externally!

Lu Gongzhu glanced at this unfilial son and said: "Don't be too happy too early, there is still time for everything, and everything can still turn around!"

It is never a simple matter to send an army to war.

Even if this army only has 5,000 men, even if they will march in the hinterland for a long time.

However, all aspects involved, as well as various logistical supply arrangements, are a huge and cumbersome project.

It requires close cooperation between the Privy Council and the East Government to plan the route.

At the same time, support and supervision from local places along the way are also needed - otherwise, these Qiu Ba may cause trouble to the local areas!

What kind of virtue do warriors have?

Lu Gongzhu is very clear - he has been a privy envoy!

Lu Xizhe said yes repeatedly, which made Lu Gongzhu feel a little better.

At least, this traitor still knows how to coax him!

However, Lu Xizhe quietly came up to him and asked: "Sir, has the capital hall decided on the candidate for the minister who will go to Guangxi this time?"

When a large army is dispatched, it is naturally impossible for a military minister to serve as the commander.

Civil servants and officials, even if they are blocked, they have to be stuffed in!

Otherwise, how to demonstrate the Song Dynasty’s ancestral system of using culture to control military affairs?

Mr. Lu looked at Lu Xizhe and wanted to curse in his heart, but he still didn't want to curse out. He just said angrily: "It's either Li Bangzhi or Zhang Zihou!"

In the Zichen Palace, the candidate has indeed not been decided yet.

However, Li Qingchen and Zhang Dun could already be seen in the palace - they were both eager to try.

Everyone feels that the little Jiaozhi is within reach!

This made Mr. Lu worried.

A arrogant soldier will be defeated, this is a lesson from ancient times!

This is also the reason why the Song Dynasty suffered countless defeats!

Too proud, thinking that the enemy is vulnerable!

Sanchuankou, Haoshuichuan, Dingchuan Village, Luowucheng, Wulu Faxia, Yongle City...

It’s all about pride!

Thinking of this, Lu Gongzhu suddenly sat up straight, looked at Lu Xizhe's face, and asked: "Are you going to write a letter to Wang Jiefu?"

Lu Xizhe was startled and quickly denied: "Sir, my son and Mr. Jiefu have always exchanged poetry and prose! They have never spoken about the affairs of the court!"

Mr. Lu sneered.

Every time this traitor wrote to Wang Anshi, he mainly asked for advice on poetry.

But what about poetry?

Mr. Lu didn't believe it. How could Lu Xizhe not show off to Wang Anshi what he had seen in Bianjing?

"I don't care what you and Wang Jiefu are talking about..."

"If you still have a conscience, go back and write to Wang Jiefu as soon as possible and tell him about the army's upcoming southern expedition!"

"Let Wang Jiefu warn and restrain Li Bangzhi and Zhang Zihou!"

Now, we can only count on Wang Anshi in Jiangning City to warn people who may leave Guangxi - don't be proud! Pride will die quickly!

This is also the only thing Lu Gong can do besides trying his best to persuade the soldiers to stop and make peace with him in the court.

After all, he is a minister.

If the official family, the two palaces, and the court have all decided to send troops.

Then he can only cooperate, can only help, can only assist.

This is also the way of being an official in the Lu family.

You can object and delay in advance, but once it becomes a national policy, you must fully cooperate!

Just like Han Wei Gong and Fu Han Gong back then.

"Go!" Lu Gongzhu looked at Lu Xizhe's rapidly changing face and said angrily.

As if he had been pardoned, Lu Xizhe immediately said happily: "I obey!"

The old father actually allowed him and Mr. Jiefu to report the affairs of the court?!
