Chapter 440 Promotion!
The weather in the capital became colder and the affairs in the court became more and more complicated. As the end of the year approached, the year-end festival was an annual event.
For Emperor Xinde, various rituals in the temple have now ushered in a small climax. Every day when standing on the distant Xishan, you can see the curling blue smoke rising from the sky above the Western Garden of the Imperial Palace.
Another rest day for Prime Minister Dai Gao, in the prime minister's mansion, the maids and servants dare not serve in the small living room. Only the butler Song Fuer can do such a job.
Dai Gao likes to study and sometimes stays in the small study all day. After all, he is old, how can he withstand his body without eating or drinking for a day?
Whenever it was time for dinner, only Song Fu'er could knock on the door of the study. If other people dared to trek into the study, they would inevitably be scolded by Dai Gao.
Song Fu'er's face today is a little bad. There are many rumors outside and the Prime Minister's family is under great pressure. The Prime Minister is obviously unhappy these two days and seems to be angry!
Just now, news came from the northwest. Song Fuer held his hands in his hand and considered whether he should tell Dai Gao. The girl brought the tea over, and Song Fuer personally brought the tea to add tea to Dai Gao.
The light in the study was a little dim. Dai Gao was holding a Western magnifying glass in his hand, and there was a thick book in front of him. Dai Gao used the magnifying glass to enlarge the fly-headed boy on the book and read it very carefully.
Song Fu'er finished adding tea and was about to retreat quietly, Dai Gao said, "Fu'er, is there any news from the northwest?"
Song Fu'er was slightly stunned and said, "Song San from the northwest hopes to transfer Lu Zheng to Yumu County as the magistrate. Yumu is the place where his army is stationed and his territory..."
Dai Gao's faint old eyes suddenly closed his pupils. He lowered the magnifying glass in his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, and said, "Fu'er, what do you think of this?"
Song Fuer said: "It is reasonable. Song San has never been tolerated by the Song brothers. If the prime minister wants to use his knife well, I think he should meet his requirements."
"Hehe!" Dai Gao smiled and said, "Song San's territory is only one county in Yumu. It is no exaggeration to say that this county is his lifeblood.
Since Lu Zheng is his enemy, would he dare to hand over such an important place to Lu Zheng? He is already surrounded by enemies. If there is still a problem with the elm, hehe, I'm afraid he will die without a place of burial. Think about it, are there such stupid people in this world?"
"Uh...this..." Song Fu'er pondered for a moment and said, "If Lu Zheng didn't go to Yumu, he would definitely be promoted to Shatian County Magistrate. Shatian County is in the limelight at the moment. If Lu Zheng could become Shatian County Magistrate, he was afraid that Shatian County would become more prosperous and prosperous. If he turned around, he would probably hand over many copies to the capital..."
Dai Gao said nothing. He tapped the table with his fingers. After a while, he waved his hand and said, "I'll tell you right back to Song San!
The elm is not smooth, it is really the most dangerous place in the northwest. Going to the elm may be like meat buns and hitting dogs, and there is no return when you go!"
Song Fu'er frowned and understood Dai Gao's meaning in his heart. Song San did not submit, and the brothers of the Song family would definitely not give up, and there would inevitably be a chance to do so.
If it's just a head-on move, that's fine, I'm afraid that someone from the Song family will secretly collude with the people opposite the Kaner River. If there is an internal and external transaction, then Yumuwan will be very dangerous. Lu Zheng is the county magistrate in Yumu, which is the front line of resistance to the Turks. Once there is a war, Lu Zheng is a weak scholar, how can he protect himself?
Song Fu'er didn't say anything after all, slowly stepped back. Dai Gao picked up the magnifying glass beside his hand, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said quietly:
"It's still amazing. At a young age, he has such a spirit and is really extraordinary. Song San's ambition was used by him, and Duan Runan's eagerness to achieve success left a handle in his hands.
The big business he ran in Jiangnan back then was his help when needed. It was hard to believe that this arrangement was made by an 18-year-old boy.
Xiaojing likes this kid. This kid has such skills, but...hehe..."
Dai Gao shook his head gently. In the eyes of the world, he was a top treacherous minister. In fact, there were indeed many things he had done that were unreasonable, and even selling his country for glory...
But people can't see clearly. If he was not a treacherous minister, would he still have the opportunity to sit firmly in the position of prime minister in the Dakang Dynasty? The emperor was obsessed with the path of immortality, but he was very smart and keen. If a wise minister controls the center of the cabinet, could Emperor Xinde be at ease to cultivate immortality and ask the way?
Power is the most complex, and the emperor's mind is even more difficult to predict. Dai Gao's unintentionality cannot highlight the emperor's wise decision at critical moments.
The treacherous minister of the Dakang Dynasty changed his mind if he wanted to change it. Even if he was powerful, he could not threaten the imperial power. Dai Gao saw all this very thoroughly, so he would go to Xiyuan every day, regardless of the cold and heat, and never slacked off.
Today, the emperor is still looking at him, which means he can still exist for one day and be free for one day. Tomorrow, the emperor is tired and tired of it. Who can't be the chief minister in the imperial cabinet?
With a gentle sigh, Dai Gao picked up the magnifying glass again. He only felt that the current situation was the best. He read quietly alone and looked at the snow outside the window. He was a world, not so complicated and not so many unpredictable people's hearts.
...
Rumors in the capital continued, and the Ministry of Personnel reported that Lu Zheng was promoted to the magistrate of Yumu County, Longyou, and his official title was the sixth rank. This news spread and caused countless discussions.
The sixth rank, tsk, after passing the exam, he only entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor of the Hanlin Academy. As for the other Jinshi who entered the Hanlin Academy as a Shujishi, they were all seventh rank officials.
Lu Zheng, a juren, is now a sixth-rank county magistrate. Although he is far away in the northwest, he is still eye-catching.
Lu Zheng's reputation is because of Dai Gao. Dai Gao has many political enemies, but he beaten them all very badly. Whether it is an old minister in the court or a new talent, no matter who offends Dai Gao, the ending will be extremely miserable.
Now, this convention has been broken by Lu Zheng. After Lu Zheng offended the Dai family in the capital and was exiled to the northwest by Dai Gao, Lu Zheng became more and more prosperous as he lived, and the more he became the official, the better his reputation.
This situation makes people feel refreshed, so a little thing happened to Lu Zheng, which can attract special attention.
But the capital was bustling, and Lu Zheng, who was thousands of miles away, was a little confused when he heard the news. He shot himself in the foot. Lu Zheng made great plans, but he didn't expect Song San to do this.
Where is elm? It is more than 300 miles away from Liangzhou. Going north is the Hulan Grassland of the Turks. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the battlefield.
Lu Zheng originally thought that he would stay in Liangzhou for two years, and then, according to the emperor's will, he patted his butt and went to Beijing to participate in the palace examination. Now it seems that the remaining year is probably not so peaceful.
Song Sangou is decisive and decisive, a ruthless character. He dares to tie Lu Zheng to him without hesitation, and even plays out his last trump card. Hehe, he is worthy of being the most brave man in the northwest, and has a momentum of burning his boats...
The boy seemed worried, and he leaned over to Lu Zheng and said, "Young Master, the third young master of Song has a low status in the Song family and can't say much. It's even more difficult for him to have any influence on your transfer and promotion.
I guess the reason behind this is the absolute advantage of the capital. Yumu is a very dangerous place. It is not that simple to ask you to work in a place like Yumu!"
Lu Zheng's mouth curled up slightly and said, "Is that so? What do you think?"
The boy said: "The situation in the northwest is extremely complicated. First of all, the Song family and the Qi family are not a solid part. In addition, there are even more disputes within the Song family. The third son of Song is jealous of strong men. Before that, his military power was already in danger.
This time, he got through the difficulties, but you were involved in the disputes between the Song family. This is not very rational!"
Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Is that so? Tell me, how should I make a decision? I am a fish and a fight with a powerful figure like Dai Gao. Can everything be fulfilled by my wishes?
Just a person like Song San, he is like me, and he is desperate and will only choose me if he seeks medical treatment in a hurry, and I am the same.
Nowadays, there is only icing on the cake and no timely help. Do you expect the Song family and Qi family to help me? Can you offend Dai Gao because of me? Haha, that is the best joke in the world!"
Lu Zheng's eyes were filled with glare, and he paused, saying, "Although Mr. Song was in a down-and-out position, he finally had his own territory. On the Liangzhou side, I also have a certain foundation!
Elm bend can be a place of fierce swords and weapons, or it can be a key way to travel north and south. They are all two people who are forced to mad, so what else is there to be scary?
Uncle Gu has spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from Jiangnan to the northwest. Although he didn't say anything, I guess he was in pain. This time, with the support of Mr. Song San, his business can be done openly.
Do you know what is the most powerful business in the world?”
The boy was stunned and shook his head constantly. Lu Zheng smiled and said, "It's just monopoly! Nothing can bring huge wealth more than monopoly! From now on, the world in the northwest will belong to our Jiangnan, haha..."
Lu Zheng laughed loudly, but the boy couldn't laugh. In this situation, Lu Zheng didn't think about a way to save his life, but he actually thought about business?
My God! What is business? The boy has been taught by Confucianism since he was a child, both scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Confucianism values agriculture and neglects business, and doing business is a path, and he cannot enter the elegant hall.
Lu Zheng has a bright future and will be a person who will dominate the world in the future. How can he get into the businessman's camp? Lu Zheng looked at the boy's appearance and felt funny.
