Lu Benzhong said: "Why does father sigh so much?"

Lu Hao asked: "Let Shouzhou Lu go to Luoyang Lu to investigate thoroughly. This should not be done at all. Just find an excuse to get rid of it. Why do you need to accept this troublesome job?"

Lu Benzhong said: "The prince lures me into the trap, how can I back down when things get tough? Once I refuse, my life will be ruined."

"Your official career is ruined, but the descendants of the Lu family are still there," Lu Haowen said more and more urgently, "If you punish the Lu family in Luoyang and divide them into relocated places, the entire Lu family in Shouzhou will be stigmatized for being at odds with their kin from now on!

"

Lu Benzhong muttered: "I will bear the infamy all by myself. The Lu family in Shouzhou has already had a thief, it's just another one."

The last family thief was named Lu Jiawen. The whole family opposed the reform, but Lu Jiawen supported it. He lived in exile for more than ten years and was not allowed to return to his hometown for burial after his death. He was ostracized by the entire family.

"You...you are confused!" Lu Haowen was almost furious.

Although Lu Benzhong was lured into a trap by Ju Ming, at this point, he didn't want to use this opportunity to show off his skills.

He boasts that he has the talent to manage the world and benefit the people, but due to Party restrictions, he has never been able to be promoted normally.

He has served as county clerk, prefectural governor, and government official, all of which were assistant officials who had to actually handle government affairs. He was honest, selfless, and conscientious, but his political achievements were all attributed to the chief official, and even his reputation belonged to the chief official.

He is over forty years old. There are many heroes in the Ming Dynasty and the new dynasty, and the pressure of officialdom competition is extremely high, but now he is only Cao Tong of Kaifeng Prefecture.

If he didn't seize this opportunity, even if Lu Benzhong worked until retirement, he would probably be promoted to the fourth rank at most.

The fourth-grade official is indeed not low, but his ancestors were prime ministers for three consecutive generations!

However, Zhu Ming muttered alone in the East Palace: "'Hateful to you is not like the moon on the river, north and south, east and west, north and south, east and west, we can only accompany each other without separation. Hate on you is like the moon on the river, for a while, you will still lose, for a while, you will still lose, until we are reunited

When was it?' Without experiencing the ups and downs of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu Benzhong would not have been able to compose this poem."

Bai Sheng walked in from the outside: "Your Highness, the Duke of Shu and his wife have entered the palace to meet the emperor. The officials have asked you to take the Crown Princess with you."
