Lu Zhi kindly informed Liu Jian that as a rule, he would report to your Majesty the officials who were corrupt and ask him to take them down. Your Majesty would generally ignore them, unless he just used this incident as an excuse to deliberately change the subordinates in the camp.
Liu Jian thanked Lu Zhi for his advice, but he still decided to insist on the memorial.
Because this is really just an excuse, and he has already made the preparations that need to be done in advance.
Seeing Liu Jian's persistence, Lu Zhi reminded him: "If you insist on submitting the report, it is not impossible, but it concerns the officials in the Yueqi camp. You need to know that many of them are Zhang Rang, Zhao
Zhong and other eunuchs have been put in. Even if the chancellor can submit the petition, you may not be able to succeed if Zhang Rang is standing by His Majesty to block it. In this way, you will offend those eunuchs."
Liu Jian looked at Lu Zhi calmly and asked: "The student offended the eunuch, isn't the teacher happy?"
Lu Zhi smiled lightly and said: "My teacher is not pedantic, and he never insists on being at odds with the eunuchs like others. It's just that Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others are too evil, and I can't stand it... But even if Zhang and Zhao are in the court, they are too evil."
Misfortune, I don’t want you to offend them as a teacher, do you understand how hard I have worked for you?”
After listening to Lu Zhi's words, Liu Jian felt a little moved in his heart.
He naturally understood that Lu Zhi wanted to protect him and did not want him to participate too much in the struggle with the eunuchs.
Although the party's imprisonment is gradually being lifted, there are too many things involved and too many dangers.
Among Lu Zhi's disciples, Liu Jian has made him feel that he is the most promising over the years, and he is also the most motivated and devoted to the public.
This old man is quite in the mood to amuse his apprentice.
"Disciples should remember the teacher's teachings."
"As for the record the teacher showed me about the pandemic last year, pandemics happen every year."
After all, Lu Zhi was a man of both civil and military skills and had been hanging out in the court all year round. Naturally, he could see some of Liu Jian's thoughts.
"As long as you know."
Lu Zhi interrupted Liu Jian's narration: "There were rebellions every year during the Guanghe period, and going back even further to the Xiping period, there would be rebellions every year, either by barbarians or local right-wingers.
generation."
"The teacher thinks what the student said is wrong?"
One of them records a war that occurred in Bajun, Yizhou in the second half of last year. The Bandun "barbarians" continued to rebel year after year, making it difficult for everything in Yizhou to pass through Luoyang. Until last year, Cao Qian was declared the governor of Bajun.
After the imperial edict was comforted, the matter came to an end.
When Lu Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Have you discussed this matter with His Majesty in advance?"
"Alas!" Lu Zhi sighed: "The chaos is obvious. There are too many plagues because so many refugees died in various places and it is impossible to prevent them... Then for another item, why do Han people have rebellions in local places every year? According to my opinion
See, this is definitely unusual, what do you think?"
Having said this, Lu Zhi stood up with support on his body, walked to the shelf next to him, searched in order for a while, and then took down the two slips.
"To be fair to you, teacher, that's exactly what it is. But don't worry, teacher, your majesty will definitely approve the disciple's submission."
"Know."
Lu Zhi stroked his beard and said nothing. He just let Liu Jian read it and then said, "Do you know why I want to show you these two slips today?"
"Tell me, do you want to dismiss Yueqiying Sima and all the assistant officials this time?"
Lu Zhi smiled reassuringly: "I know that you are different now. You are a younger brother of His Majesty, and you are also a close friend of Yuan Shiji... You have the same reputation for a while, but it is precisely because of this that you should be more careful.
That’s right, don’t trap yourself in it.”
"How could I dare to do such a reckless thing if I didn't inform Your Majesty in advance? Your Majesty has graciously allowed me to deal with this matter, so I can rest assured, my teacher."
"Students dare not speak nonsense, but although Luoyang is still prosperous, in the past few years, there have been many bandits in all the counties in the world. The number of refugees has increased, bandits are rampant, there are more gangsters, and local right-wing annexations have become more and more serious. According to the students' opinion, although this
It doesn't happen overnight, but it seems to have reached a critical point. Students have a feeling that something will happen sooner or later in the world."
When Lu Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
"Today, you are the only one in the world who can think so much about someone as close to you as your majesty and a teacher in such a short period of time."
This student cannot make any mistakes, at least from Lu Zhi's perspective, he wants to prepare talents for the world.
"The teacher's protective feelings for the students are very sensitive to the students, and the teacher's kindness is like an ocean. The students will never forget it in this life." Liu Jian's words really came from the sincerity.
"yes."
"Let me try to explain."
Lu Zhi didn't answer, he just reached out and picked up a wooden ruler from the table, and then raised his fingers at Liu Jian.
In this life, people will not always look at the darkness, but they will eventually encounter some sunshine and some romance.
Lu Zhi was silent when he heard this.
"Remember Yan Jun's teachings."
"Students can't figure it out."
"Just take a look." Lu Zhi sighed and handed the slip to Liu Jian.
"In the fifth year of Guanghe, there was the Ban Dun "barbarian" rebellion. In the fourth year of Guanghe, Liang Long from Jiaozhi attacked the counties again. In the third year of Guanghe, Huang Rang of Lujiang raised an army. In the second year of Guanghe, there was the rebellion of Bajun. In the first year of Guanghe,
It was Kong Zhi, the governor of Nanhai, who rebelled, and in the fifth year of Xiping, Yizhou County rebelled..."
"The disciple is just taking advantage of the clan status. In terms of contribution to the imperial court and His Majesty's trust, apart from the teacher, there is no one else in the imperial court."
Lu Zhi believed in his own vision that Liu Jian would definitely achieve great things in the future, and given his status as a member of the Han clan and his family background from a border county, he would definitely try his best to guide the world onto the right path.
"The teacher showed the students these two slips, which coincided with what the students just said. The students said that sooner or later the world would be in chaos, and last year was the first year that the Bandun "barbarian" rebellion subsided. But thinking back carefully
, in which year in the past few years has the Han Dynasty not been dealing with rebellion?"
Later, Liu Jian sat down and said: "Teacher, the student has made it clear to your Majesty that the Yueqi Battalion needs to be reorganized. Not only the Yueqi Battalion, but also the military system including the fifth battalion of the Northern Army needs to be reorganized and the military governance must be rectified.
."
Liu Jian helplessly slapped his mouth and slowly stretched out his palm.
"No, you are right, and you are very far-sighted and can see these abnormalities before most people, which makes me very happy."
"Government orders are blocked, vagabonds and gangsters proliferate, and wealthy families freeze to death on the roads that are full of wine and meat. Because there is no livelihood, the more people die, the more people die, and the more natural plagues there are. It has been common sense since ancient times, and there is no way."
No matter how scheming he is, he can't wipe out human nature. In addition to conspiracy and conspiracy, this world also requires kindness and pride.
Lu Zhi frowned and looked at Liu Jian: "Do you know why this is?"
The other one records the number of 'big epidemics' over the years. According to official records, there is at least one big epidemic that affects more than one state in the country every year, not to mention the epidemics in small places, which are numerous and insurmountable.
number.
Liu Jian opened it carefully, but it turned out to be two archived documents from the previous year at the Chancellor's Desk.
"Why is that so?" Lu Zhi frowned and looked at him doubtfully.
He insisted on sending a memorial that offended the eunuchs but would not be approved, which completely went against his usual behavior.
"Pah!" Lu Zhi tapped Liu Jian's palm with a ruler gently and gently: "In the future, in front of my teacher, don't oversell me, just say it one by one."
Lu Zhi narrowed his eyes and said, "You really can't figure it out."
Liu Jian said with certainty: "I really can't figure it out!"
Hearing this, Lu Zhi let out a long sigh.
He understood that it was not that Liu Jian couldn't figure it out, but that it was inconvenient for him to say it.
