In the second year of Yuanyou, June Bingwu (26).

Before Maozheng, Zeng Bu rode his horse and surrounded by Yuansu, he entered Xuande Gate and came to the iconic pepper-painted red wall in the capital.

At this time, it was not yet dawn, and the dawn of the morning light had just bloomed on the horizon.

The gatekeeper on duty was waiting in front of the gate of the capital early. When he heard the voice, he immediately came forward with his people and greeted him: "Please welcome the minister and the assistant..."

"Has Zuo Kui arrived?" Zeng Bu asked after he stepped down his horse.

The official shook his head: "Zuo Fu has been busy with everything he has done recently, and he has rarely arrived at the capital on time..."

"Oh!" Zeng Bu nodded, his eyes rolled, not knowing what he was thinking, but the person stood there, just looking at the pink wall of the capital.

Everyone had to stand here with him.

I don’t know how long it took, the sun had risen, and the morning sunlight fell on the palace of the imperial city.

The sound of footsteps came from the courtyard outside the capital.

Zeng Bu returned to his senses and looked at Lu Gong, who was riding a horse and was full of fatigue.

"The lower official welcomes Zuo Kui..." Zeng Bu went forward and bowed seriously.

Mr. Lu turned over and dismounted and returned the greeting to Zeng Bu: "Is Zeng Shengzuo waiting for me?"

"Yes!" Zeng Bu felt the alienation of Lu Gongzhu, and his heart became cold, but he did not show it. He still bowed respectfully: "Since taking office, the lower official has been thinking about it and went to Zuo Kui's office to ask for advice..."

"However, Zuo Kui has been busy with the government affairs, and it is rare to get an opportunity for a subordinate official..."

"I wonder if I have the fate today, listen to Zuo Kui's teachings?"

Zeng Bu knew that Lu Gongzhu liked to talk about Buddhism and mystery, so he deliberately picked up the tune that Lu Gong loved to listen to.

Lu Gong looked at Zeng Bu and to be honest, he didn't like Zeng Bu very much.

It is almost the same as his brother Zeng Zhao.

They are all those who are ambitious and desperately want to climb up.

The difference is that Zeng Zhao has limited abilities and is not mature enough.

Zeng Bu was in the grassroots prefectures and counties in the local areas for seven or eight years, and he had already trained.

Thinking of this, Lu Gongzhu suddenly remembered Zeng Bu's brother Zeng Gong.

Although, he had attacked Zeng Gong in front of the late emperor - Gong's righteousness is not as good as political affairs, and political affairs is not as good as articles.

But that's purely because Zeng Gong was Wang Anshi's confidant.

He was afraid that Zeng Gong would be favored, which gave Wang Anshi the opportunity to return to the court.

But Lu Gongzhu admired Zeng Gong's character.

It is said that Zeng’s family and Kunzhong were all taught by Zeng Bu step by step.

I really don’t know what Zeng Bu and Zeng Zhao were thinking about when he was studying with Zeng Gong?

Why didn’t you learn Zeng Gong’s sincerity and simplicity?

But how could Mr. Lu fall into the embarrassment and poverty life of the Zeng family back then?

In order to take care of his younger brothers and sisters, Zeng Gong did not get married until he was thirty-nine years old.

Every grain of rice that the Zeng brothers ate when they were young was planted by Zeng Gong and them.

Farming is very hard!

It would be even harder for six scholars to farm together and be pointed at by the neighbors.

Especially, when two of these six brothers failed the first place.

Especially when the Zeng Bu and his men saw that their brother could not even get married for themselves.

That kind of discomfort and embarrassment made the young boys swear in their hearts-

I must reach the highest point step by step!

Let brother and mother be proud of us!

Lu Gongzhu didn't know this, and even if he knew it, he couldn't understand it.

However, although Lu Gongzhu couldn't understand it, he could not substitute it.

But immediately, he thought of his children and grandchildren and felt silent.

The three sons were either abducted by Wang Jiefu or followed Cai Que.

Even the eldest son Lu Haowen was more and more inclined to Wang Jiefu's new learning, and he became less concerned about the family-born classics.

Fortunately, he didn't lose money. He exchanged Wang Jiefu's extreme three-point exchange, and replaced Wang Jiefu's descendant Wang Di. Over the past few days, he has been slowly giving Wang Di a small meal.

Wang Di studied diligently and was very interested in asking questions, and he learned quickly, and slowly learned the classics of his Lu family.

Although it seems that he lost.

But Wang Jiefu only had one descendant, while he, Lu Gong, had more than a dozen grandchildren!

So, he won!

Thinking of these things in my heart, Lu Gongzhu said to Zeng: "I wonder what Zeng Shengzuo wants to ask?"

He knew that Zeng Bu was waiting for him here today.

Moreover, his attitude was so humble that he must have asked for it.

Otherwise, how could Zeng Bu have such a good attitude?

"Can Zuo Kui know the youngest son of Duke Xue Jiansu?"

Mr. Lu frowned: "Xue Zhanshe?"

"Um……"

"What's wrong with him?" Lu Gong was curious.

Xue Kui and his father Lu Yijian are both colleagues and friends.

The two families are considered family friends.

In addition, Lu Gongzhai also has a good impression of Xue Zhanshe.

Because, when he was young, the first time he was walking around in Wazi was Xue Zhanshe took him there.

At that time, Xue Zhanshe was full of energy and walked in the tile. The singer and dancer in the tile welcomed each other, which shocked Lu Gong and could not speak.

"Oh..." Zeng Bu sighed: "He was involved in the case of thieves in the palace... The guilty official confessed that he was beaten and killed by his instructed..."

Mr. Lu widened his eyes and didn't believe it at all, but he couldn't say it.

Because his current identity is the Left Prime Minister.

As long as he speaks: Xue Zhanshe is not that kind of person or similar, he will be caught.

I heard once preached: "Dali Temple has issued an official certificate and ordered him to come to the hall today..."

Then, Zeng Bu bowed to Mr. Lu and said, "Mr. Jian Su was the first to rule the dynasty, and Xue Zhanshe was the beloved son of Mr. Jian Su during his lifetime..."

"I heard that Mr. Ouyang Wenzhong and Mr. Wang Yike loved him very much during his lifetime..."

"This matter is of great importance. The lower officials didn't know how to make a decision for the time being. I hope Zuo Kui made it clear..."

Mr. Lu moved his lips, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just preached to Zeng: "The minister is in power in the country, and he should enforce the law in accordance with the public and not favoritism!"

Zeng Bu wanted to continue, but Lu Gong had already taken his men and walked directly into the capital hall.

Zeng Bu looked at Lu Gongya's back and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Zuo Kui, Zuo Kui... Zuo Kui wants to avoid this matter, but can he avoid it?"

Xue Zhanshe alone can pull almost all the ministers in the court today into the water.

Because, now the priests in the court have calculated the other one, who has never received the favor of Ouyang Xiu?

Take him Zengbu for example.

He was a Jinshi in Jiayou's second year, and the examiner who served as the tribute examination was Ouyang Xiu!

At the same time, he also followed his brother Zeng Gong to study under Ouyang Xiu.

So, no matter from any aspect, he is Ouyang Xiu's disciple.

Although Ouyang Xiu died, his widow was still alive.

This is the teacher’s wife!

Heaven, Earth, Lord, Parents and Teachers!

Be a teacher for one day and be a father for life!

Therefore, the master's wife is also a mother, and she also needs to serve and be filial.

Once the wife of Renshou County pleads with mercy, will he Zengzixuan help or not?

Helping is unfaithful, not helping is unfilial.

It's difficult!

So, after learning about the attitude in the palace yesterday, Zeng Bu did not sleep all night and came to the capital to block Mr. Lu early.

Just want to go into the water!

Mr. Lu also received great favors from Ouyang Xiu!
