[Comprehensive] Feasibility report on the restoration of the country

Chapter 66 The New Situation of Lu Gong's Writing

This time, Sima Guang died at the beginning of August in the first year of Yuanyou, and did not collide with the day when Feng Xiandi's spirit tablet was entered into the ancestral hall.However, since the imperial court still assigned Cheng Yi to be in charge of Sima Guang's sacrificial ceremony, Su Shi still had a dispute with Cheng Yi on the issue of whether Sima Kang should come forward to return the gift, and he uttered the famous ridicule: "Yichuan can be described as dross and contemptible." Uncle Sun Tong."

Cheng Yi is rigid and pedantic, a bookworm who has fallen into the pile of old papers.Ever since he took up the post of storyteller in Chongzheng Palace, that is, the post of the little emperor's tutor, he has become even more pretentious. He wished that everyone in the world would worship and obey him as the most holy and sage. It is very boring to teach people.Historically, after Emperor Zhezong took power, he turned his face on this former teacher and was ruthless. Not only was he demoted from office and imprisoned by the local government, but he even ordered all his works to be destroyed. .

Although Cheng Yi has never caused public outrage by gossiping about state affairs, his self-proclaimed emperor's teacher has made everyone sick.At this time, seeing Su Shi mocking him with witty words, all the ministers who came to Sima Guang's funeral couldn't wait to burst out laughing, Tuo Yi was very ashamed.Since then, the grievances and struggles between the two parties in Luoshu have planted a disaster.

In September of the first year of Yuanyou, after the official family entered the ancestral hall with the spirit tablet of the late emperor, two major events occurred in the court hall: first, the empress dowager worshiped Duke Lu as the left chancellor; second, the triennial official evaluation work was over, Murong Fu, the editor of the National Academy of History, was transferred to Qianhua County, Qianzhou, on Jiangnan West Road, as the county magistrate.

Lu Gong was originally written by the elders of the four dynasties who were highly respected, and Sima Guang entrusted state affairs to each other at the end of his life. There was no objection to his successor as Shangshu Zuo Servant.But when the official department sent the transfer order to Murong Mansion, Su Shi was furious. "You have been an editor of the Academy of National History for less than three years, and the three-year exam has nothing to do with you! What's more, you went to Qianzhou?"

Seeing that Su Shi was furious, Murong Fu immediately smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, teacher, as long as you can leave the Academy of National History..."

Unexpectedly, in the middle of what he said, Su Shi already said loudly and angrily: "Qianzhou is close to the south of Lingnan, the language is not understood, and miasma is rampant. This is not transfer, it is exile! Exile! This is to put my students of Su Zizhan to death!"

"Teacher, please calm down! Teacher, Qianzhou is also very good..." Seeing Su Shi blushing, Murong Fu was afraid that his blood vessels would explode, so he hurried forward to comfort him.

"Don't worry! When I go to court tomorrow, my teacher will definitely ask for an explanation for you!" Su Shi ignored Murong Fu at all, grabbed the transfer order from his hand, and walked out arrogantly.

Murong Fu watched Su Shi's plump figure swiftly disappearing outside the door in silence. After a long time, he finally finished what he was going to say just now: "Mr. Anywhere is fine!" It is really a sad story to go back to ancient times to study history or something.

Su Shi really deserved his title of the king of talking guns. When he went to court the next day, he held this transfer order and scolded all the members of the Shuo Party since Lu Gongzhu.According to the rules, Murong Fu really shouldn't be transferred this time, and the Empress Dowager is Su Shi's super fan, the whole Shuo Party was scolded bloody by Su Shi.However, although Su Shi said that he was showing great power, Liu Zhi, the imperial envoy Zhongcheng, insisted: "Although the officials are at fault, the government's decrees cannot be changed overnight. After the transfer order has been issued, Murong Fu still has to go to his post."

Seeing that Liu Zhi and his idol were going to kill each other, the Empress Dowager hurriedly ordered to retreat from the court, and then left Su Shi to comfort him, hoping that he would put the overall situation first and maintain the authority of the court.In later generations, Empress Dowager Gao was regarded as "Yao and Shun among women", and she was a female politician with great political wisdom.Although she loves Su Shi selfishly, she also understands that the Shuodang is powerful in the court today, so she doesn't want to be excluded because Su Shi hates the Shuodang.

But Su Shi was sincere and trustworthy. Hearing what the Empress Dowager said, he immediately burst into tears and said: "Empress Dowager, why don't you let me go to Qianzhou! Akashi helps me in danger, I must not stand by at this time." Watch him go to the Jedi!"

The Empress Dowager returned to the harem with a sigh, and her granddaughter Princess Shushou broke in again, kneeling down and begging. "Grandmother, don't let Master Murong go to Qianzhou..."

Princess Shushou was in her flowering period, but her marriage was delayed because of Shenzong's death.Empress Dowager Gao originally thought that after Murong Fu refused to marry, the matter between Princess Shushou and Murong Fu would be over.Unexpectedly, the granddaughter never forgot Murong Fu. "National affairs, even if you are a princess, you can't interrupt!" Empress Dowager Gao angrily said, "Who is talking nonsense in front of you?"

The palace maids who came with Princess Shushou saw the Empress Dowager's stern eyes sweeping over them, and they were silent like cicadas.

"Grandmother, it's Zhen." The ten-year-old little emperor also walked in, "Murong Qing is sister Shushou's lifesaver, and sister Shushou should know about this."

Ever since Princess Shushou rescued the little emperor in Jinmingchi, the relationship between the two siblings has grown stronger.At this moment, seeing Mrs. Gao showing displeasure behind her, Shushou hurriedly said, "Grandmother, it was the son-in-law who pestered the officials to say..."

"Sister, Murong Qing's future is related to state affairs." The little emperor had not been enthroned for a year, and he was at a high-spirited time, without the gloomy silence suppressed by the empress dowager many years later.Hearing that Princess Shushou wanted to take the blame for him, he immediately interrupted her with an expression of arrogance and disdain. "Although Liu Zhi's words are high-sounding, we all know that he wanted to put him to death because he hated Murongqing's newspaper and hurt Shuodang's face!"

"Shut up!" Empress Dowager Gao slapped the armrest and said angrily. "Liu Zhongcheng has a public heart. As an emperor, how can you judge him with such private thoughts? This is not the way of a king!"

Seeing the empress dowager Gao's stern voice, the little emperor couldn't help but twitched his mouth and said reluctantly: "Grandson knows his mistake."

Empress Dowager Gao saw the little emperor's expression of unwillingness, she also sighed slightly, and said in a low voice: "Grandmother is doing it for your own good. Officials, you will understand when you grow up." He turned his head and said to Princess Shushou. "Shushou, you shouldn't bother with important national affairs, just go down."

"No, grandma!" Unexpectedly, the always well-behaved Princess Shushou shook her head desperately with tears in her eyes. "Grandmother please forgive me, don't let Lord Murong go to Qianzhou!"

Empress Dowager Gao was both startled and angry, and said: "Shushou, Murong Qing has been engaged for a long time, you..."

"No matter what, he saved his granddaughter's life, grandma..." Princess Shushou kept crying as she tugged at the hem of Empress Dowager Gao's skirt.

"Grandmother, let's obey Sister Shushou!" The little emperor also knelt down and begged, "Do you want everyone in the world to say that our royal family is ungrateful?" mind.However, the entire Shuo Party respected the Empress Dowager but did not take her seriously, which made the little emperor dissatisfied.Therefore, as long as it can make Shuodang unhappy, he is willing to do it.

Empress Dowager Gao looked at her granddaughter who was deeply in love and kept crying, and then at her grandson with a sly face, she was stunned and speechless for a moment.

Empress Dowager Gao didn't know that when she was fighting openly and secretly with her grandson, Murong Fu had already visited Lu Gong's work at home.

Lu Gongzhu is about the same age as Sima Guang, but his temper is much gentler than Sima Guang's.Therefore, Murong Fu only circulated his internal energy in the outer hall of Xiangfu for two weeks before he was interviewed by Lu Gongzhu.

After meeting, Murong Fu casually brought up the topic of transfer. "The lower officials actually don't mind taking up posts in Qianzhou." The ancients lacked knowledge of epidemic prevention, which is why they regarded Lingnan as a desperate place.But Murong Fu came through time travel and possessed martial arts, so naturally he wouldn't die in Qianzhou easily due to disobedience.

Lu Gong smiled slightly, but did not speak.Although he didn't agree with Liu Zhi's method of exiling Murong Fu to Qianzhou, he obviously didn't believe a word of Murong Fu's words of slapping his face to make him fat.

However, the transfer was not the focus of Murong Fu's trip.Therefore, after simply stating his position, Murong Fu quickly got into the topic he really wanted to talk about. "Sima Xianggong drove the crane to the west, but his wish was not fulfilled. How about the new law in the future, I don't know if Lu Xiang has a plan in mind?"

When Lu Gongzhu heard Murong Fu bring up this topic, his expression turned cold immediately, and he said in dismay: "Master Murong can't interfere with this." Although Lu Gongzhu knew that the use of newspapers to influence public opinion and influence the government was originally Murong Fu's behind-the-scenes Pushing hands, but after several dynasties and profound qualifications, he still does not think that Murong Fu is qualified to sit and discuss politics with him.

In the state of etiquette in the Song Dynasty, even if diplomatic relations are severed, the real gentleman must not speak evil words.Lu Gong said that he was so impolite, if it was someone else, he would have blushed and retreated.However, Murong Fu came from modern time travel, and his thick skin has been tested for a long time, so he didn't take it to heart at all, and continued: "My teacher has something to say, with Lu Xianggong's knowledge, I definitely don't agree with completely denying the new law. The two adults Liu Cheng There are many constraints in the administration of Lu Xiang, and his family teacher can be Lu Xiangma's predecessor." Sima Guang entrusted state affairs to Lu Gong's writing before his death, which made Lu Gong's writing regarded as the new leader of the Shuodang by both the government and the public.However, everyone has forgotten that Lu Gong's work was originally from Shouzhou, and has nothing to do with the Shuodang, which is dominated by northerners.After Sima Guang's death, the leaders of the Shuo Party that were truly recognized were not Lu Gong's works, but Lu Dafang and Liu Zhi.Because of this, Murong Fu believes that due to the common political philosophy and the consideration of the balance of power, it is not impossible for the Shu Party and Lu Gong's works to cooperate.

Murong Fu was so straight to the point, Lu Gongzhu couldn't help being slightly taken aback.After Sima Guang's death, Liu Zhi, Liang Tao and other members of the Shuo Party have wept in front of themselves many times and said that "the new law will be abolished as much as possible, and comfort the spirit of Sima Wengong".However, Lu Gong is calm by nature and has the experience of guarding the local area. In terms of politics, he is much more experienced than Sima Guang who lacks the experience of a herdsman.Mr. Lu is well aware that although the new law has many disadvantages, it is by no means useless.It's just that he knew that he was recommended by Sima Guang for the position of Left Prime Minister, and he and Sima Guang were close friends, so he really couldn't bear to violate his last wish.

Murong Fu saw Lu Gong's expression was hesitant, obviously moved, but he couldn't make a decision for a while because of his feelings, he immediately said: "Lu Xiang, there are capable ministers and mediocre ministers. There is a difference between a good friend and a bad friend. A good friend speaks honestly and uprightly, but a flattery friend does not distinguish between right and wrong. Lu Xiang, may I ask you whether you want to be a capable minister or a mediocre minister? A good friend or a bad friend?"

Duke Lu's expression suddenly changed, he was in a state of confusion, but he saw Murong Fu said unhurriedly: "My teacher and Lord Sima Wen are also close friends, if it wasn't for Lord Sima Wen's righteous words, my teacher would still be punished for the crime. Enyi, teachers and students are engraved in the hearts of teachers and dare not forget. However, after the teacher entered Beijing, he had disputes with Duke Sima Wen several times because of political differences, and was even regarded as a traitor by the Shuo party. The teacher opposed the new law back then. Being regarded as an enemy by the Xin Party, and now hating the Shuo Party, does Lu Xianggong know why?"

Lu Gong let out a long sigh, and said with emotion: "Zizhan, you are a real gentleman!"

Murong Fu smiled triumphantly, his expression was full of pride and admiration. "Master, one must be loyal to one's family and country first, and then to be loyal to one's friends. It is the right thing to do for state affairs. As for how a man is a man and how he is a friend, through the ages, there is a public opinion in history!"

When Lu Gongzhu heard the words "Through the ages, there are public opinions in history", he suddenly felt proud and enlightened, but he was not in a hurry to express his position, but said vaguely: "Master Murong has indeed obtained the true biography of Zizhan. The mouth of the lotus flower can speak well."

"However, what I said is all the most reasonable." Murong Fu said bluntly, "Much of my family teachers have experience in guarding the local area. Now that they are in charge of the government, they should be assigned as Lu Xiang's assistant."

Lu Gong raised his beard and asked curiously: "Su Zizhan wants to be the right minister?... Is this what you mean, or what your teacher means?"

Murong Fu stretched his sleeves carelessly, and said in a deep voice: "Nowadays, the Lord Shaoguo suspects that the court situation is changing, and it is a time of precariousness. At this time, it is even more necessary for people who dare to take charge to stabilize the situation. In terms of qualifications and talents, this Who in the whole court can compete with my teacher?"

Lu Gong turned a deaf ear to it, shook his head and said: "Su Zizhan is upright, this is what you mean. Murong Fu, you are more thoughtful and resourceful. If your teacher is the right minister, the political affairs must come from your sect."

Murong Fu smiled and said brightly: "Mr. Lu may have looked down on my teacher too much. Emperor Renzong has long praised my teacher as the talent of the prime minister, and now he is aspiring to be the right minister. It is only a name and a deed. Besides, The lower official has already said that the lower official does not mind going to Qianzhou to take up his post."

Lu Gongzhu looked at Murong Fu for a long time, and couldn't help saying with emotion: "Everyone said that Su Shi took in a good student in Huangzhou. Unexpectedly... Unexpectedly..." Lu Gongzhu came from the Zanying family, and his father Lu Yijian was also a Northern Song Dynasty student. name and appearance.In terms of the favorable treatment of civil servants in the Northern Song Dynasty, Lu Gongzhu grew up in a wealthy village since he was a child, and money was like dung to him.Therefore, after Murong Fu worshiped Su Shi as his teacher, he supported Su Shi with a lot of money, and Lu Gong didn't care about it.To this day, seeing Murong Fu willing to exchange his own future for his trust and seek the position of right minister for Su Shi, Lu Gong is finally moved.Such behavior, where is the relationship between master and apprentice so simple?He is more filial than his own son.

Murong Fu said with a face of reason: "My teacher is highly talented, has outstanding knowledge, has an upright personality, and is almost perfect. It is a great blessing for me to be a low-ranking official to be able to follow my teacher and serve as my teacher."

Originally, Duke Lu was a bit jealous of Murong Fu, even though Murong Fu's words spoke to his heart, he was still hesitant about cooperating with the Shu party.But now seeing Murong Fu's palpable admiration and admiration when he mentioned Su Shi, Mr. Lu couldn't help laughing to himself, and realized that Murong Fu was just a young official rookie.Lu Gong wrote that he was loyal to the country after all, and as soon as his doubts and fears were gone, he remembered Sima Guang's last words.

At that time, Sima Guang was almost dying, and he was exhausted after talking about state affairs with Lu Gong. If it works...if it works..." Before he finished speaking, he closed his eyes again.

Lu Gong knew that even at the last moment, Sima Guang was still hesitant about whether to use Murong Fu.However, Mr. Lu loves talents after all, even a mere eighth-rank official can't cause a big disaster, so he just said: "Qianzhou is as dangerous as exile, Mr. Murong, do you really have no regrets?"

Murong Fu heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, he immediately got up and bowed. "Eating the king's salary, loyalty to the king, everything depends on the master!"

Lu Gong burst out laughing when he wrote it. It is so refreshing to cooperate with smart people. There is no such thing as a philistine's insidious words.Murong Fu sat in the outer hall for half an hour when he came to pay a visit to the Prime Minister's mansion, but when he took his leave and left, Mr. Lu personally sent him out of the gate.

Until he stepped into the carriage and drove away, Murong Fu finally couldn't help laughing out loud.After years of painstaking planning, his butterfly finally deflected the course of history a little bit.Sima Guang went west before completely abolishing the new law. Although Lu Gong's work was highly respected, he did not have his own direct lineage in the court.Today, Murong Fu made Lu Gongzhu realize that besides the Shuodang, he can choose the Shudang as his thug, and this thug is more in line with his wishes.Lu Gong wrote that he was old and old, and he had to rely on Su Shi to govern after all.As long as Su Shi secures his position as Prime Minister of the Right and chooses the good of the new law and follows it, and changes the bad one, he will be able to avoid the consumption of national power caused by repeated repetitions of the old and new laws in history, and thus curb party disputes.As for the Shuo Party and the Luo Party, there was the fighting dog Gou Jiaozhu and the drums. There was the fighting king Su Shi before, and the collective wisdom of the "Bianjing Times" later, so what is there to be afraid of?
