every world is in su

After the new year, it is the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye.

The Lantern Festival can be said to be a very important day in this era. The streets and alleys are full of colorful lanterns in the night, or they are hung on high places in the distance, or some merchants make up lantern riddles for good luck and wait for people to guess the riddles. Those who solve the riddles will get the corresponding lanterns. Even those who do not guess the lantern riddles correctly will spend some money to buy a lantern and carry it in their hands.

Lu Zha was still thinking about how to pass the Lantern Festival. He has a lot of friends in this era. He didn't think so before, but when the Lantern Festival is about to come, Lu Zha started to get tangled up looking at the invitations he received.

During these days, he has gotten closer to his clan, and it is not impossible for him to agree to Zhao Yuanzhuo's invitation to drink and chat with the other honorable children.

But Lu Zha turned his eyes to the letter paper with the fragrance of plum blossoms on his left hand side. He used to be the No. [-] scholar and was born in the Imperial Academy. It can be said that he naturally stood on the side of Qingliu. also may.

As for Lu's father and Lu's mother, he completely ignored the idea of ​​asking him to go out to meet some daughter during the Lantern Festival.

But soon, Lu Zha realized that he didn't have to worry about it, because the little emperor sent the little eunuch beside him to remind him that he wanted to accompany him on the Lantern Festival.After all, this is the ancient times where "heaven, earth, monarch, relative and teacher" is the most important thing. No matter what kind of thoughts Lu Zha has in his mind, he can only put it down temporarily.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, round like a jade plate.

The little emperor changed his outfit and happily followed him, looking at everything interesting, the little emperor seemed to be younger.

In contrast, Lu Zha looked older because of his calm and deep expression, like a quiet and green lake on a distant mountain.

"...today is the Lantern Festival, sir... I just told you to accompany me yesterday, what if I make an appointment with someone to enjoy the lantern?" Lu Zha said softly, even though he walked to a place where no one was around, Lu Zha still deliberately avoided He used titles such as 'Your Majesty' and 'Chen'.

He has always been cautious. Although the little emperor has been out of the palace countless times and has not been assassinated, just because no one has assassinated the little emperor before does not mean that there will be no future. If an accident does happen, it will happen when he is accompanying him Not to mention that he came here through time travel, even if he was possessed by a god, he would still have to kneel if he killed the emperor in ancient times when kings were granted by gods.

"What's the trouble with this? Qing can't accompany me, but I can go to accompany Qing!" Zhao Yunhong thought for a while, and suddenly said solemnly: "In short, this day I will be with Qing."

Zhao Yunhong seems to be different from any ancient emperor.Perhaps it was because the scholars of this era had too much power, Zhao Yunhong's temperament did not have the arrogance that emperors of other eras had, but instead had a somewhat egalitarian tone in his tone.

Look, it's kind of cute.

Lu Zha suppressed the smile on his lips and signaled Zhao Yunhong to be more cautious. Zhao Yunhong looked at his face in a daze, and suddenly his face slowly turned red, and when he thought Zhao Yunhong was about to explode, he suddenly heard Zhao Yunhong's voice sound.

"Forget it, you're not at home after all outside, I, no, oh, you hold my sleeve, there are so many people, it's not good for you to get lost." After Zhao Yunhong finished speaking, his heart jumped up and down violently, Every moment is safe.

It wasn't until the people around him really grabbed his sleeve that he finally got his heart down.

It's nothing more than pulling the sleeves. If it didn't scare the little emperor, if the young man beside him was not the emperor, maybe he would directly hold the other's hand.

The two went to see the Sea of ​​Lanterns together. Exquisite lanterns were hung high one by one. They were made into various shapes and printed with various patterns on them.

Lu Zha looked at which lantern he liked, and guessed a few riddles. By the time they left, they already had many lanterns in their hands.Zhao Yunhong picked out a favorite lantern and held it in his hand, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

Lu Zha also took a lantern, and the rest of the lanterns were in Liu Fan's hands.

Seeing the undisguised admiration on Zhao Yunhong's face, Lu Zha felt incredible, "These puzzles are not difficult, and many scholars can guess them."

Zhao Yunhong heard that the admiration on his face did not decrease, he said: "This is different."

No matter how many scholars there are, they can't compare to the person around me.

How can the rest of the scholars be like the person next to him, let a few masters whom he can't help but kneel down and beg for him?It's like what a heinous emperor he is, if he insists on getting his hands on his subjects, these masters will be smashed to death on the pillars.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yunhong felt a little worried.Zhao Yunhong was reluctant to part, so he followed Lu Zha back to the Lu Mansion naturally.

When the two of them took their seats in the study, they finally could speak freely without having to worry about revealing their identities.

"Qing is too self-effacing. I know all about your abilities and talents." Zhao Yunhong smiled, "Zong Zheng of the clan's family entered the palace a few days ago and talked with me for a long time. I wish I could tell you about your talent. , Many things, I didn't know until then."

Zhao Yunhong never thought that the clan's mansion would have so many troubles. There are many clansmen who look powerful, but there are also many clansmen who live in poverty, and these clansmen have more or less relatives. It's not easy either.

He didn't understand these at first, but Zongzheng broke up with him and talked to him most of the night, and even praised Lu Qing endlessly. No matter how stupid he was, he understood the benefits of this idea.

"Your Majesty praised me, but I'm just an ordinary person." Lu Zha said, "If I really want to say that I'm different, maybe I read more books than ordinary people."

Is this something you can do by reading more books than others?This person clearly has a finger that turns stones into gold!Zhao Yunhong pursed his lips, suppressing the urge to drag the fingers of the black-haired and black-eyed young man into the palm of his hand to caress, and couldn't help but ask the other party what he thought next.

There are many things that Lu Zha wants to do, and without changing the dynasty, he cannot do without the support of today's emperor.After thinking for a while, he shared his thoughts on reforming the army.

In the past dynasties, when the later period, the army will always start to decay, even to the point where even the equipment in the library has not been updated for several generations.Lu Zha didn't know the situation of the army in this era. When he was in the Imperial Academy, he also learned that some countries have a large amount of military expenditure every year, but this does not mean that these military expenditures can really be implemented.

"Your Majesty is thinking about starting with the frontier army. His Majesty can send his ministers to learn about the situation of the frontier army and the information of the imperial guards in the capital. After everything is under His Majesty's control, it will not be too late to say anything else."

"Whatever you want to do, just do it."

Zhao Yunhong understood that these are also good for him, and they were proposed by someone he likes. Naturally, he has no reason not to agree, but after finishing speaking, Zhao Yunhong's face frowned, and he continued to speak with a frown: "Love Qing has a lot of things to do, I don't know when I will be so busy before I can think about other things? For example, I want to break my sleeves with Qing, how is Qing thinking?"

Lu Zha pursed his lips, took a deep look at the little emperor, and said, "I haven't thought about it yet."

"Then Qing will think about it now." Zhao Yunhong said loudly.

"It's a good idea, I don't want to make a decision in a hurry." Zhao Yunhong said that the more worried he was, it wasn't until he returned to the palace, after taking a bath, and seeing the handsome figure in the bronze mirror, that he felt more at ease.

Not only Zhao Yunhong, but also Lu's father and Lu's mother were anxious about Lu Zha's marriage.

There was only Lu Zha, who was still doing his own thing every day, and seemed to be completely unaffected by the little emperor.Lu Zha reduced the time to go to the public house of the Ministry of Rites, and more often went to the Hanlin Academy or the waiting room to find the information he wanted, such as the military strength of the dynasty, how the Hu people were suffering from foreign aggression, etc., but the results were not accurate. optimism.

Just looking at the friction and fighting between the frontier army and the Hu people, Lu Zha made a statistics, and the frontier army did not have much advantage, and considering that some troops may have taken credit, even the [-]-[-]% of the upper hand is not reliable. that high.

Lu Zha began to chat with business travelers traveling to and from the border of the capital. Through the conversation, the more he understood how powerful the Hu tribe was and how corrupt the border situation was, the more bad premonitions arose in Lu Zha's heart.

Time passed like this.

After the autumn harvest, not long after, there was an envoy sent by the Kingdom of the Hu tribe to come to Da Wei to exchange and borrow food.

After all, everyone knew that the Hu people were not engaged in production and were accustomed to plundering. They were also the enemies of Wei. How could there be any reason to lend food to the enemy?This is a question of whether the position is correct or not.

Seeing that the voice of not borrowing food gained the upper hand, Lu Zha sighed in his heart, and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I dare not agree with what you ministers said."

Zhao Yunhong's eyes lit up, he also felt a headache when he heard the ministers quarrelling in the court hall, when the ministers had almost quarreled and a few more cabinet ministers set the tone, he also felt that this time it was absolutely impossible borrowed food.

But when he looked at the extremely handsome courtier with black hair and black eyes standing below, he suddenly felt as if he had found a backbone, and he waited expectantly for Lu Qing to speak.

"Your Majesty, the Hu people don't do production, they live by grazing on the grassland. In previous years, there was no such thing as borrowing grain, which shows that it is different now. I have learned from some business travellers, that in recent years, the grassland has happened. Although I have not experienced many battles, I can boldly guess that maybe the war on the grassland has ended, and a new king has been elected on the grassland, so this time, we can make a unified voice."

Seeing everyone pondering, Lu Zha continued: "In the past, the chaos on the prairie has caused the frontiers to be disturbed repeatedly. Now if the prairie people have a unified king, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for all the people in the Central Plains. I heard that the prairie people Growing up on horseback, he is very good at riding and archery, but suddenly there is a battle, regardless of victory or defeat, but the border people will suffer."

Although Lu Zha said 'it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses', what he said inside and outside the meaning is that the Wei border army has little chance of winning. Such an argument is really inconsistent with the current mainstream argument.

"Does Lord Lu think that if war breaks out, our Great Wei will be defeated?" The Minister of Rites glanced at Lu Zha and said, helpless, Master Lu is an official directly under him, and the Minister of Rites is jealous and jealous of such a person who has won the holy family. dreadful.

"Your Majesty, I have never been stingy with military expenditures every year. Even if there is a war, I will win in the end, and only I, Great Weier!" The Minister of the Ministry of Officials also said that the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the money bags of the world. The military is often arguing about military expenses, but at this moment, it seems that those things have never happened, and the expression on the official minister's face is very righteous.

"Think twice, Your Majesty, absolutely not because—"

……

Lu Zha didn't think that it was a real battle and that Wei would win, but in his eyes, Wei was more likely to lose.As for the provision of food, this is not a big deal. Temporary surrender can be used to temper soldiers and horses. Even if the war is delayed for a few years, it is better than being discovered about the true strength of the Wei frontier army, and then picking up its ambitions. .

As for the reasons for agreeing to borrow food, the Great Wei is benevolent and benevolent, but before he said these words, he was targeted by other people in the court.

Lu Zha's voice was quickly drowned out, but it was the little emperor who said after the crowd fell silent, "I think Lu Qing's words are not unreasonable, and Zhu Qing may have overreacted."

Then, the other ministers stopped shouting "the villain is wronging the country", but condemned the emperor unanimously.In their eyes, Lu Zha's matter was relatively small, but the emperor helped a courtier to fight against all of them, and it was a big matter.

This is the chaos that happened between Ruizong and No. [-] back then.

Even several cabinet ministers frowned, feeling that the emperor's move was inappropriate.

When the court came down, Lu Zha left with Zhao Yunhong. Looking at the silent young man beside him, Zhao Yunhong felt inexplicably distressed, and couldn't help saying: "Lu Qing doesn't have to take it to heart, those people can say whatever they want Well, just like me, if I really beat them, it will be as they wish."

"My lord, suffer, I hope that the lords in the court are right, and I would rather be wrong than do not want the border people to suffer." These are real worlds, and these people are also real people, just like other executors It's different, in every world Lu Zha is willing to live seriously as another life of his own.

"No matter what, I'm always on your side." Zhao Yunhong walked a few steps faster, then suddenly turned around and said, "How did you say that? Oh, by the way, everyone in the world owes you, but I don't blame you!"

"You don't believe me?" Zhao Yunhong felt that this was what he said in his heart. Why didn't Lu Qing respond?

Lu Zhaxin did have some points, but the little emperor's power was limited, so he just smiled and didn't take it seriously.

……

In the end, he was soft-spoken, even though the little emperor spoke for him, but with the support of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, even if he talked to the cabinet ministers about his thoughts, nothing changed.

After the war broke out, the news of the unfavorable border war did not surprise Lu Zha.It was the emperor who raged fiercely, but those ministers who talked eloquently could only bear it in the face of the facts.

People in the capital suddenly panicked, and the grassland people became more and more terrifying in the rumors. Some officials even began to think that the capital should be moved. As soon as such remarks came out, under the fear, many officials really supported them.

The Great Wei emphasized literature over military affairs, and even the ministers of the court did not know much about the war.Lu Zha searched the memory of the original body. In the memory of the original body, there was no relocation of the capital. Instead, he was beaten by foreigners outside the capital. Ancestral foundation.

Although the princes in the cabinet are not very clear about military affairs, they do have backbone.Several people looked at each other, and in the end Zhang Song came out first, "Your Majesty, this time it's the minister who made a mistake. The minister is ashamed of His Majesty and the late emperor!"

Normally, when encountering things, it is Zhao Yunhong who admits his mistakes, but this time the cabinet masters admitted their mistakes, but Zhao Yunhong did not feel the slightest joy in his heart, instead his eyes were astringent.

Zhao Yunhong comforted the masters with a few words, which made the rest of the important officials feel much better.Bear, although the little emperor loves to play and make trouble, he still feels pity for these courtiers.

Zhang Song also asked the emperor for permission to remove the alarmist officials who proposed to move the capital to investigate and deal with it, and then said: "The ancestor's instruction, it has been too many years, some people have forgotten it, but I believe that more people have not forgotten it! That is the imperial court. The backbone of the princes is the dignity of His Majesty, the princes of Danggun, and even the people of the world!"

"——No marriage! No compensation! No land! No tribute! The emperor guards the gate! The king dies!" Zhang Song finished speaking, and the court was silent.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

……

During a series of ministers' seconding meetings, Lu Zha came out and said "the ministers' seconding the proposals" and did not return to his original position. Under the thoughtful eyes of the other courtiers, he took the initiative to invite Ying and said: "Everyone has great righteousness in their hearts. I do not dare to fall behind others, please Your Majesty allow me to go to the frontier to retreat from the enemy, I am willing to die for Your Majesty and for all people in the world!"

Zhang Song and other cabinet ministers were deeply moved. Mr. Lu has a noble character. He suffered such a big grievance a few days ago. When the big event comes, he still misses the king's society!They don't know much about armaments and warfare, but Lord Lu is very good at it. He also knows more about the frontier army and the grassland Hu people, and he has a good vision. , Mr. Lu is also a good choice.

But the rest of the generals who are qualified to go to the court are in a complicated mood. The Great Wei is used to emphasizing civility and despising martial arts. They usually doze off in the court. They really don't have the confidence in their hearts. Although they envy Master Lu, if Master Lu is successful, he will be Qingyun Road, but they are not jealous. After all, Master Lu is going to fight for Qingyun Road with his life. They don't have that ability. , I also regret my life very much.

The rest of the courtiers were rarely silent. It was only a few days after they said that 'the Great Wei will win', there was news of 'military disadvantage, retreat to a certain place', and now it seems that the foreigners will drive straight in soon, If this continues to be opposed, if it is reversed again, their skin will also be burned.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites snorted and said, "Lord Lu has a good heart, but Lord Lu was born as the number one scholar, so I'm afraid he is not good at military affairs. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and now it is an extremely urgent time. Where is His Majesty and all the people? I am afraid that Mr. Lu will die if he dies."

Lu Zha took a look at the Minister of Rites. He has always been kind to people since he came to this world, and he was kind to Shangfeng and his colleagues, but some people will be able to make friends if you are not kind.

He walked up to Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, his eyes were deep and dark, and the distance was too close, so close that Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Zhi, suddenly felt that his breathing was not smooth.

Lu Zha smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Could it be that Mr. Zhu thinks that if he goes to the frontier, he will surely win? In this way, the next official will not fight with Mr. Zhu. I hope Mr. Zhu will share your majesty's worries as soon as possible."

"This, I have never said that before." Mr. Zhu muttered.

Lu Zha raised his eyes and glanced at the others, "If the rest of the adults are sure of winning, I won't say a word. I just wish you all the best at the frontier as soon as possible."

The hall suddenly fell silent, no one spoke, the battlefield was changing rapidly, even the military officer who was good at fighting was silent at this time, who can guarantee that he will win?

At this time, Lu Zha suddenly smiled at Zhu Zhi, and Zhu Zhi had a bad premonition in his heart, and then saw Lu Zha turned his head away, and went to speak to His Majesty and the cabinet ministers.

"The subject dares to promise that he will win, if not, please behead the subject."

Zhang Song and other cabinet ministers now only have admiration in their hearts, and their admiration for Lu Zha has increased by a few percent: "The wind knows the strength of the grass, Mr. Lu's conduct is a model for an official."

After Zhang Song finished speaking, he glanced at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. In contrast, Zhu Zhi, who was only obsessed with personal struggles, was a bit unbearable. When these things really passed, and Mr. Lu returned with a big victory, I am afraid that Zhu Zhi's position as Shangshu will be removed. moved.

But if Mr. Lu doesn't win, alas, Mr. Lu is a person who lives in the temple and worries about the people, these old guys will keep everything they say.

"Your Majesty Lu is young, and he can always think of doing something for His Majesty and the people. His Majesty's praise is not enough. How can there be a military order?" Zhang Song said.

Several cabinet ministers have been together for a long time, how can they not see Zhang Song's love for Mr. Lu?Not to mention Zhang Song, even the few of them couldn't help but want to keep this young official with outstanding conduct. If he is trained in the future, he might not be a cabinet minister for the country and the people.

It can be regarded as a successor.

Zhao Yunhong pursed his lips, feeling that Master Zhang's words were so pleasing to the ear for the first time, and his eyes fell on the young man with black hair and black eyes with emotion: "Master Zhang is absolutely right, there is no need to issue a military order, I believe you of."

Although the little emperor didn't want Lu Zha to leave, but Lu Zha insisted on going, the cabinet spoke out in support, and no other courtiers objected, even if the emperor didn't want to, he couldn't change anything.

Lu Zha first went to meet the princes of the cabinet, and then received the emperor's order. Then he went to the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War. Finally, he left Beijing in a mighty manner with a large number of personnel from the Ministry of Industry and the troops that could be transferred from the capital. up.
