Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

The Korean envoy did not stay in Bianjing for too long, so he resigned respectfully to Zhao Zhen on the grounds of the cold winter, the long distance, and the eagerness of the king.

Zhao Zhen had no reason not to approve it, and after a few symbolic retentions, he waved his hand and approved Jin Ti's request to go to the Imperial Academy to buy books, and issued a command to the Pavilion Master to order them to assist when necessary.

Although Jin Ti and others received this generous promise, they were not greedy. After carefully selecting more than [-] volumes of classics, they returned to Goryeo happily loaded with other gifts that had been rewarded.

This small episode did not cause much disturbance.After three days of their departure, you still remember them, and I am afraid that you are only talking about some "profiteers" who slaughtered this group of fat sheep.

Lu Ci could never have imagined in his dreams that Jin Ti and others took away not only the classics, but also Liu Yuanyuan's scripts, and some collections of poems made by his friends for him.

It is even more impossible for him to expect that those brilliant poems that have survived the war and survived the flames of war and have been preserved for thousands of years, will become the descendants of Korea after thousands of years. The fuse of one of the 'ancestors' that is fiercely contested.

Seeing that the end of the new year is approaching, and Yushitai will also rest for a few days, he devotes all his attention to familiarizing himself with the work at hand, and he does not forget to be on guard against Han Jiang.

According to his understanding of Han Jiang, this person will take revenge and is narrow-minded. He has followed him to preside over the system department and criticized him but failed, so there is absolutely no reason to let it go.

The current calm is probably just a preparation for a fatal blow in the future.

Lu Ci thinks that although he is not without flaws, he seems to act boldly, but he has never made any "oversteps" on his own.

Unless necessary, never leave a handle.

Even if he was in a critical situation, he really had to do so. In order to eliminate the "tail" afterwards, he either reported it to the Ministry of Secretary of the Communist Party of China, or discussed it secretly with the officials.

Leaving aside the time when the little emperor 'tricked' him into returning home late, no matter how hard Han Jiang tried, he might not be able to catch any real clues about him, so he could only rely on hearsay.

However, this kind of impeachment based on unfounded rumors may be troublesome, disturbing, and confusing for ordinary officials; but it obviously has little effect on Lu Ci, who has always been a favorite of the family.

So what will Han Jiang do?

Lu Ci guessed that since the other party would not be able to find any disadvantages from him for a while, they should have to start with his relatives and friends.

Not to mention Teng Zongliang, Zhu Shuo and Di Qing who were far away from the capital, they were the closest to him and the closest to him, so they didn't think about anything other than Liu Qi.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Ci has already finished his pitifully few official duties.

It was still early, and he slowly flipped through the tens of thousands of past memorials and files. His leisurely posture was seen by the censors all around who intentionally or unintentionally scrutinized this 'new boss', and he couldn't help muttering. .

Although this proud Dr. Lu has won the Sacred Heart and has been promoted very quickly, his appearance and demeanor are not as aggressive, vitriolic, and self-willed as Han Zhongcheng keeps saying.

He has only been in office for one day, and the other party has never been bossy, defiant, and never forgets. He immediately remembered the names of all the officials in Yushi's mansion.

No matter how you look at it, he is a personable, elegant and gentle gentleman.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. After meeting Lu Ci with his own eyes and working with him for a few days, these Censor Tai officials who had believed Han Jiang's words and were full of dissatisfaction and resistance to this young airborne superior officer, They all raised doubts about Natong's rhetoric to varying degrees.

Although as a censor, sometimes it is inevitable to hear rumors and do not talk about evidence, but it is related to the immediate chief. When Han Jiang criticizes, he speaks with eloquence and sincerity, which is very inappropriate.

When they looked at the seat of Han Jiang, who hadn't entered the mansion today because of business, they couldn't help feeling a little bit dissatisfied.

I'm afraid it was because Han Zhongcheng had a quarrel with this doctor Lu that he intentionally misled them.

Lu Ci, who was still wearing a gentle and harmless disguise, leisurely read the No. 20 dossier, seeing that it was almost time, he slowly packed up the objects on the table.

After returning the dossier to a distance, he walked out of Yushi's mansion first, bathed in the faint sight of everyone.

After the officer left, everyone who had been pretending to be diligent and busy put down their unfinished work with relief and went home.

This kind of work that first jumps out to find out the mistakes of colleagues based on sharp eyes or some hearsay, and then lashes out, a series of criticisms on the line, with the ultimate goal of punishing people, demoting officials and resigning, Lu Ci is really I can't arouse any interest.

Even though he is from modern times, and he is quite familiar with the parliamentary system that spittles when he quarrels, blushes and has a thick neck, it is impossible for him to be like other censors, who will have a mission of "passion" due to his work of picking criticism feel.

However, since he was ordered by the emperor, even if it was to be worthy of the dozen or so people who had put monograms on his confession letter, Lu Ci would not passively sabotage his work and seek an opportunity to resign.

The reason why he left the hall on time was mainly to find Liu Qi.

The pavilions are similar to the Yushi Mansion, they have nothing to do when they are free, and they are overwhelmed when they are busy, and now it is one of the most idle times.

When Lu Ci, who was waiting outside the museum, saw Liu Qi's figure, his friend was hanging shoulders with his colleagues in the pavilion, chatting and laughing.

From the corner of Liu Qi's side, he caught a glimpse of Lu Ci who was holding the rein with one hand and resting the other loosely on his elbow, looking in their direction with a smile. A gleam of amazement flashed in his eyes, and he quickly poked Liu Qi. Qi's arm: "Look, who's coming to pick you up!"

"Who is it, could it be Yingniang—"

Liu Qi raised her eyes lazily, the joke stuck in her throat for an instant, and she said in amazement: "Ai, Ai Yu!"

Ying Niang?

Lu Ci narrowed his eyes slightly, and after silently remembering the name, he said gently, "Brother Liu."

"Why did you come looking for me on purpose?"

Liu Qi suddenly received this honorary treatment of "Lu Ci personally came to pick him up". His first reaction was not to be flattered, but to suspect that something serious happened at home. He hurriedly left his friends and ran over, and asked in a low voice: "Is there something wrong at home?"

"Brother Liu misunderstood." Lu Ci shook his head, stabbed his knife tenderly: "If something really happened, it's impossible to find Brother Liu right away."

Liu Qi was speechless.

Liu Qi was having a private conversation with the incredible Lu Jiedu, who also served in the pavilion, and they were all about the same age as Liu Qi. They didn't dare to get close, but couldn't help looking at them curiously, and whispering to each other from time to time.

It turned out that it was Lu Ci who had also served in the pavilion, but quickly rose to the top!

"Seeing once is worth hearing a hundred times." Su Shunqin sighed sincerely, "Like a jade platform and a green tree, it shines brightly."

He was elected three years ago, and after a round of trials, he was lucky enough to be promoted to the school manager of Jixian Hall and supervised into the Zouyuan.

In the eyes of outsiders, such achievements are already extremely impressive and enviable.

But after realizing that he was the same age as this very popular official surnamed Lu in the court, and the fact that the two of them were very different, he only felt that the pride in his heart was like frost and snow in spring, calling the sun to shine , disappeared without a trace.

Diao Yue, the manager of Jixian School, also praised with a smile: "That's true. But the reason why I have heard the name of Lu Jiedu is thanks to my master's blessing."

The other cabinet officials couldn't help being curious: "How do you say that?"

Diao Yue said generously: "If it weren't for Lu Jiedu's "Detailed Explanation of Policy Theory", I have always worked hard on policy theory. I might have been lucky to get it three years ago!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help being surprised, and said one after another: "I have also heard about the "Detailed Explanation of Strategies", and it was actually written by Lu Jiedu?"

Just because the books they have read are too numerous and complicated, and the emphasis is placed on the required subset of classics and history, so many people have read "Detailed Explanation of Strategies" but have never thought that this Lu Ci is the other Lu Ci.

When their discussion was in full swing, Liu Qi also invited Lu Ci with a smile: "It's the end of the year, and I was thinking of preparing a banquet tonight to have fun together, I don't know if Yu Yu would like to join in the fun? "

Lu Ci raised his brows slightly, and asked without answering, "You asked them directly without asking them. Could it be that you paid for them?"

"How is it possible?" Liu Qi didn't notice the temptation at all, and said with a smile: "Dijian Su entered the Zouyuan and sold the useless waste paper accumulated over a year. A few are enough."

Lu Ci: "..."

Sure enough, one cannot rest assured of Liu Qi too early.

He looked at his friends who were full of enthusiasm and waiting for his reply expectantly, and then looked at the other officials who were full of enthusiasm and didn't feel anything wrong. 'act recklessly'.

Jinzuoyuan is the place where the imperial court newspaper is published. After distribution to the military supervisors of Zhulu prefectures, there is often a lot of surplus, which is piled up in the warehouse.

After a year, the number must be quite huge.

Including Jinzuoyuan, there is no lack of selling useless old things every year in exchange for some money, which is the "principal" for the officials in the courtyard to gather and drink during festivals and festivals.

However, once this "promised custom" is pursued by interested people, it will be out-and-out "embezzlement of public funds" and "self-stealing".

Especially when these high-spirited young people gather together, it is inevitable to recite poems and paint after drinking something in their cups, and it is probably not uncommon to invite prostitutes to sit with them.

"Listen to my advice." Lu Ci sighed deeply: "Either put back the 'public funds' that you sold the paper intact, list the ins and outs of the money and related accounts carefully, and then Don't touch it; or send someone to find a buyer who bought the old paper, buy all the old paper back, and put it back. If you really want to drink and party, you don't have to piece together the account, I will do it Ge Dong, please go to Fan Lou."

"No need." Liu Qi was stunned when he heard it, and he came back to his senses after a while, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "The money you get from selling old papers is not to mention just a few pennies. It has been reported in the old days, and this court has come to send envoys. And the same is true for other bureaus in Beijing. Isn't it really a crime?"

The same is true for other courtyards. If you really pursue it, it is impossible to just take it into the Zouyuan for surgery.

But the law does not blame the public, for such a matter that has long been established, no matter how true it is, it cannot be as serious as Lu Ci said.

"Which is more important, brother Liu has the final say?"

Lu Ci only smiled slightly at such an optimistic statement that he took for granted, and asked directly: "Brother Liu or me, who is the censor?"

Liu Qi was timid instinctively, and said with a dry smile: "Doctor Lu, I understand."
