The next day, Han Jiang and Lu Gongzhu met under the inner east gate.

Han Jiang noticed clearly that Mr. Lu was staring at a dark circle under his eye.

Obviously, he didn't sleep well last night.

"Uncle Hui didn't sleep well?" Han Jiang asked deliberately.

Lu Gongzhu hummed twice but did not answer, feeling that this old guy was mocking him.

Han Jiang smiled and said nothing more. He just looked at the relief on the inner east gate and said: "I heard that the official issued an edict two days ago, specifically ordering his son to enter the virtuous nephew to return to the court. It is really a great grace from heaven. ah!"

As Mr. Lu listened, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he raised his head and looked at the blue sky: "Yes, God's grace is so great, I am so grateful that I shed tears of gratitude!"

In fact, he had an urge to cry.

Because that official is too cruel!

Every move is aimed at his weak points!

The old Lu family is already very thin.

His father, Lu Yijian, only gave birth to four sons - the eldest brother Gongchuo, the third oldest brother Gongbi, and the younger brother Lu Gongru.

In his generation, there were fewer sons.

He has three sons in total - the eldest son Lu Xizhe, the second son Lu Xiji, and the youngest son Lu Xichun.

Lu Xizhe has been serving him by his side and has not taken the imperial examination.

However, Lu Xiqi and Lu Xichun took the merit examination early and became officials in local prefectures and counties.

In the leap month of February this year, Lu Xiji was transferred from Huainan Road to Fujian Road by the emperor's imperial edict to serve as a promotion official in Quanzhou.

In April, at the invitation of Cai Que, he also served as the same manager of Quanzhou Shipping Department.

He became the de facto founder of Quanzhou Shipping Company.

It also tied the Lu family and the Quanzhou Shipping Company together.

From now on, Lü Xiji’s contribution would be included in the discussion of achievements in Quanzhou City’s Ship Division.

Naturally, if something goes wrong and the slap is taken, the one who will most likely be beaten will be Lu Xiji - Cai is indeed a former prime minister and cannot be held accountable.

However, Lu Xiji still felt very good about himself. He wrote back and told him: Cai Xianggong attaches great importance to his son... All matters in the Shipping Department are discussed with him and then decided...

He was sold and still helping to count the money!

What can Mr. Lu do?

I can only do my best to help my son in the capital, coordinate policies, and allocate resources.

Now, another decree has brought back the only remaining youngest son, Lu Xichun, and sent him to Taichang Temple.

According to Lu Gongzhu's guess, Lu Xichun may be just going through the motions in Taichang Temple, or he may be transferred to other departments in a few days, and then become a close minister of the official, and be sent to do some things.

In addition, Lu Xizhe, who has long been in the shape of Wang Anshi.

His three sons, whom Mr. Lu worked so hard to raise, were involved in a bottomless whirlpool in just over a year.

The plan he had worked so hard to prepare for his sons was now complete.

Why is Shensheng inside and Chonger outside?

Don’t even think about it!

Han Jiang looked at Lu Gongzuo's appearance, laughed, and said: "Youkui is a lucky person."

"All three sons are valued by the country, and the Lu family will prosper for a hundred years."

"Unlike me... all the sons and grandsons below me are useless!"

Speaking of this, Han Jiang obviously used a somewhat envious tone.

The family education written by Lu Gong is indeed very powerful!

All three sons have been taught well.

Even the eldest son Lu Xizhe, who had no intention of achieving fame, was now granted the title of "born with the same Jinshi" by the emperor.

Moreover, he was also the banquet official beside the emperor.

Even Lu Xizhe's son, Lu Haowen, was the emperor's companion and studied with the emperor.

The future is limitless!

More importantly, there are rumors that Lu Xizhe and Lu Haowen have a close relationship with Wang Anshi of Jiangning.

A few days ago, Lu Gongzhu personally invited Cai Jing, the powerful magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, to be the matchmaker for Lu Haowen's son Lu Benzhong to propose marriage to the youngest daughter of Cai Jing's brother Cai Bian.

Soon, the two families may get married.

The future of Lu Xizhe's team is extremely bright from now on!

His father is the prime minister of the old party, and his grandson will become Wang Anshi's grandson-in-law.

No matter how the political situation changes, Lu Xizhe will remain standing.

Mr. Lu has the remaining two sons.

Then he has been a child of "other people's family" since he was a child.

Not only did he become famous at a young age, but he also passed the examination for merit and fame early.

I have also been on a steady path in my official career, one step at a time.

At such a young age, he is already an official in the court and capital. The most important thing is that wherever he goes, his official reputation is very good.

Not like his Han Jiang's children and grandchildren...

Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes.

Mr. Lu listened to Han Jiang's words and found them useful.

This is what he is most proud of - even though Lu Xizhe is disliked by him every day, in fact, Lu Gongzhu has always been proud of him, but he just doesn't say it.

But the more this happened, the more depressed Lu Gongzhu became.

Three sons...Three sons who have worked hard to raise...

Seeing that the government officials were about to become the vanguard of promoting their policies.

He, Mr. Lu, was also forced to help along with him.

There is nothing I can do - my own son, I can’t do anything without help!

This is exactly where Lu Gongzhuo has a headache.

He even regrets returning to Beijing now.

How wonderful it is to be in Yangzhou!

There is no need to worry about anything, and there is no need to worry so much.

it's good now.

There are so many things to worry about and take care of.

We can't let go yet - just like the Quanzhou Shipping Company in Fujian, if it weren't for Lu Xiji, he could have ignored Lu Gong's work.

Let Cai Que do his best - if he does it well, it is Cai Chizheng's duty. If he does it badly, it means that Cai Chizheng has failed his father and is unworthy of his elders, and he can be punished ten thousand times.

it's good now!

As long as it is a matter of the Shipping Department, he, Mr. Lu, must intervene, help check, and try every means to provide convenience and policy.

There was no need to talk in the palace at all. He, Mr. Lu, helped with many things.

Thinking about these things, Mr. Lu felt numb.

"Zuo Kui..." Mr. Lu looked at Han Jiang and said, "You and I should be the busiest prime ministers since the founding of the country..."

Han Jiang smiled knowingly: "If you are loyal to the country and ask for orders for the people, you should dedicate yourself to it."

"Yes!" Lu Gongzhu said sadly, "I can only do my best!"

The previous prime ministers before him, except Wang Anshi, were all comfortable, weren't they?

That's when he met this young master who had no moral ethics.

Directly threaten (seduce) him with the future of his children and grandchildren.

It was as if he had seen through him and could not care less about the future of his children and grandchildren.

Just let him work hard for the Zhao family's farm and stay up all night to make him sick.

The officials in the palace were leisurely reading and sleeping, and occasionally came out to take care of things. Their lives were not too good.

But there was nothing I could do to him - I couldn't even try to persuade him to work hard - he was only ten years old!

While the two prime ministers were talking, a minister came out from under the Neidong Gate.

It is none other than Feng Jing, a close minister around him today.

Feng Jing came to the two prime ministers, bowed, and then said: "Please invite the two prime ministers to meet at the Zichen Hall."
