Chapter 51: Officials Make a Wish
Lu Dafang really left the Political Affairs Hall casually, ignoring the different gazes around him that were different from the past.
Lu Dafang left like this, leaving behind a group of people in the Political Affairs Hall full of question marks on their faces.
Now the entire Kaifeng City is in full swing. Rumor is that you are about to die. Are you really so calm when you are always there?
Lu Dafang left, Er Su didn't dare to think about it, and went straight to Cining Palace.
What surprised them was that the Empress Dowager did not see them, and Zhou He just passed the message very calmly: Everything is still the same.
Er Su's faces had more questions.
When Er Su left the palace with confusion, Lu Dafang's carriage arrived at his mansion.
With the help of his servant, Lu Dafang got off the car with difficulty. An housekeeper immediately came over and whispered: "Master, you have a few of your colleagues here, they left a message..."
Lu Dafang waved his hand expressionlessly and continued to walk into the door.
The housekeeper was stunned and hurriedly chased after him, saying, "Master, Shangshu Liang is waiting in the mansion."
Lu Dafang looked up and looked at him with a expressionless face.
Not long after, a middle-aged man with a square face quickly came over and said anxiously: "Prime Minister, something big happened!"
Lu Dafang stood firm and said with a hint of anger: "What's the matter that you'll chase after me to my mansion and not go to the Political Affairs Hall?"
Liang Tao glanced around and walked closer and lowered his voice, "Prime Minister, the food and grass transported to Huanqing Road have disappeared!"
Huanqing Road, an important line of defense in the north of the Song Dynasty, targeted the Western Xia.
Lu Dafang raised his eyelids and said, "Disappeared? What do you mean? Tell me in detail."
Liang Tao smiled bitterly and said, "How could the Xiaguan know so much? He just got the news and issued another document to urge food and grass on Huanqing Road."
Lu Dafang looked at Liang Tao with a cold look.
When Liang Tao faced Lu Dafang's powerful aura, he just smiled bitterly.
After a while, Lu Dafang suddenly calmed down and said in a hoarse voice: "I understand, go."
Liang Tao listened and hurriedly said, "Prime Minister, Xia Guo is ready to move. There is no need to lose any mistakes on the road to Huanqing. Please allocate food and grass as soon as possible."
Lu Dafang snorted, his voice a little louder, and said, "You can tell that something is wrong with this matter. Can't I tell? Go."
Seeing Lu Dafang talking like this, Liang Tao raised his hand respectfully and said, "Yes, the official is leaving."
Lu Dafang watched him leave the mansion, stood quietly for a while, and walked towards the mansion.
Lu Dafang calmly entered the mansion, but the inside was unstable. His sons and grandchildren came to search, and some even asked directly: Grandfather, are you really going to retire?
The Lu family is now also a large Kaifeng clan. If Lu Dafang suddenly retires, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow.
Lu Dafang ignored everyone and drove everyone away, and went into the study.
Lu Dafang could close the door without hesitation, but the outside would not stop because of his closed door.
Before it was dark, the Secretariat received more than a dozen memorials, all of which were about "care" to the magistrate's body, and also expressed his respect for Zhao Xu's "respecting the wise and the magistrates, and waiting for the court officials."
At this moment, Funing Palace.
A group of people from the Custody and Arts Institute were surrounding Zhao Xu, measuring his figure up and down, and asking about Zhao Xu's preference for color, his usual actions, etc.
Zhao Xu turned around, stretched out his hand and raised his legs, and cooperated very well.
With a cup of tea, the supervisor of the Institute of Technology put a ruler in his hand and said cautiously: "The officials have recorded everything, and they will definitely do a good job for the officials within half a month."
Zhao Xu nodded. The clothes he wanted to make were all for his wedding. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly glanced at the young man who was respectful, taciturn, but extremely white and elegant, and wanted to speak, and said, "Do you have something to say?"
The boy took the plate, stepped forward, bowed his head, and whispered: "Official family, you are long and thin, and you should be active in normal times. The villain recommends that you be loose below the waist and tighten your upper body. This is both beautiful and decent, and it does not affect the movements of the official family."
Zhao Xu was stunned and looked at the supervisor and said, "Is that true?"
The supervisor didn't expect the boy to talk too much, frowned, and said, "Yes."
Zhao Xu smiled slightly, took the teacup handed over by Chenpi, took a sip, looked at the boy and said, "What's your name?"
The young man became more and more obedient and said softly: "The villain is just a minor official in the layoffs."
Zhao Xu was a little surprised. At this time, shouldn’t he take the initiative to say his name so that he can remember it?
The supervisor looked slightly tight and said, "Go back to the official's house, this is a minor official in the court, Cai You."
Cai You?
Then, Zhao Xu looked at her head with a playful expression, with a respectful expression, as if she was a young man Cai You who was not fighting or robbing.
Zhao Xu had asked Chen Pi to investigate the information of government officials, and Cai Jing was named by him, so naturally his family relationship was in Zhao Xu's mind.
Cai You, the eldest son of Cai Jing, is also famous in history. How could Zhao Xu not remember it?
But Zhao Xu had to admire him. If he hadn't been prepared for him, Zhao Xu would have thought that he would have taken it for himself based on Cai You's appearance just now.
It’s not easy to be able to get ahead!
In this way, Zhao Xu wanted to use him even more.
Zhao Xu glanced at the supervisor and said to Cai You: "Cai You, well, it's very good. Tangerine peel, go to the Imperial Hospital to get ten best ginseng and ask Cai You to send it to Lu Qing's house on my behalf."
Cai You's eyes suddenly changed, and then his breathing was rapid and his chest was undulating, but he kept calm and bowed without moving.
He knew the meaning of the official family, "I am on my behalf", and also knew what amazing benefits this trip would bring to him!
Chen Pi looked at Cai You and also knew his origin. She responded calmly and said, "Come with me."
Cai You hurriedly bowed to Zhao Xu and said, "Yes." Then he quickly followed Chenpi.
The supervisor looked at Cai You's back with displeased eyes.
Zhao Xu saw Cai You's excitement just now, chuckled, picked up the teacup, and said to the supervisor: "It's okay, go."
The supervisor of the layoffs and school raised his hand and said, "Yes, I'm leaving."
Zhao Xu, when they packed up, left, sat on the chair, looked towards the direction of Cining Hall, and frowned slightly.
Although he did not do anything fierce, he still slapped Lu Dafang's army, causing turmoil in the government and the country. However, the Cining Palace... was too calm!
This is unreasonable!
Chenpi came back soon, walked towards Zhao Xu, and said, "Official family, will Cai You be a little younger?"
Cai You is only sixteen years old this year.
Zhao Xu was still thinking about Empress Dowager Gao’s reaction and said casually: “You will know how powerful he is in the future. By the way, is there any movement on my grandmother’s side?”
Chenpi looked solemn and said, "No, the two Su Gongs did not go in at all, and no one else went in."
Zhao Xu thought secretly in his heart, and said to himself for a long time: "It's almost done."
Chen Pi was stunned and said, "Official family, what's the matter?"
Zhao Xu looked out the door and whispered: "To do this, it is already the limit of grandmother's patience. They will attack me soon."
Tangerine was shocked and said, "Official family, is there any room for recovery?"
Empress Dowager Gao and the three ministers of the Outer Court held all the power of the Song Dynasty. If they had to deal with the officials, they would have too many means!
Zhao Xu turned to him strangely and said, "Why should I save it?"
Chen Pi stared at Zhao Xu and said cautiously: "Now they are powerful, shouldn't the officials keep a low profile and wait for the opportunity?"
Zhao Xu said with a oh, and said with a smile: "You are right to say that. But you also know what they are doing. He turns a blind eye to the internal corruption and indulges in the transition; he even takes pride in "rejecting the land and seeking peace" and "being safe and safe". As the emperor, I can't stand these things and don't want to endure them..."
Another thing Zhao Xu didn't say is: he is not a sedative person.
He was unable to do it like a canary, staying in a cage, being well-behaved and obedient, and being trained and admired for several years!
Chen Pi vaguely felt from Zhao Xu's words that the official family in front of him had 'big ambitions', and said in confusion: "But can the official family cope? They may really... "
The deposed emperor was established.
Chenpi dared not say these four words.
Not only did Chen Pi say that, Zhao Xu could understand it, squinted his eyes and looked outside, saying, "So, I won't give them a chance. Go, and the message comes out. I will inspect the three provinces and six ministries, the Censorate, and the Censorate tomorrow... I want to make a wish for them to be appointed as officials!"
