When Qi Yunzhou led a group of students to the capital, news came one after another that Meihua Academy was attacked by a group of refugees.
Overall, this is a very outrageous news. After all, the land of Jiangnan has always been prosperous. There is no natural disaster or military chaos. The beggars in Jiangnan are three pounds fatter than those in other places. How could a beggar appear out of nowhere?
The refugees came in droves.
But whether everyone believed it or not, Qi Yunzhou had already arrived in the capital, and Meihua Academy in Jiangnan was indeed ruined overnight.
Lu Hanjiang was indeed a little surprised by this acting dean. In order to pull out this nail in Jiangnan, he had prepared several arrangements. Inspiring Beggar Gang disciples to come was only the first step.
There is nothing in Meihua Academy except books, no industry, and no ability to be self-sufficient. As long as the basic necessities of life turn the academy into an isolated island on the road, they will not be able to survive even if they want to.
However, these were all back-up moves. Lu Hanjiang did not expect that after less than five days, Qi Yunzhou led the people to run away decisively without any hesitation. The academy, which he had spent half his life on, was actually abandoned.
Smart people can always roughly guess the outcome of something when there are some signs of it happening. Qi Yunzhou is obviously good at this. This person's ability to perceive danger is simply astonishingly keen.
This actually made Lu Hanjiang pay more attention. He had seen a lot of rough guys coming up to him in the arena, and he was really not used to it when he suddenly met a guy who cultivated himself by practicing Taoism.
But no matter what, Qi Yunzhou took the people and ran away to comply with his wishes. In this way, the land south of the Yangtze River was completely in his hands.
Lu Hanjiang had no intention of competing with the Crown Princess. Instead of wasting time and effort to win her over, it would be better to isolate the possible threat from the other party from the beginning.
Unfortunately, the only fly in the ointment is that the old master Luo Yuanjing is completely at odds with him.
The matter of Meihua Academy is a foregone conclusion. It is useless no matter how angry he is, but reason belongs to reason and reality belongs to reality. Although the academy is gone, the students are still there. For the sake of face, he must come and seek justice.
The first day Qi Yunzhou came, he had a long talk with his teacher Luo Fuzi all night long, and then the next day the old man went to the Prince Consort Lu Mansion to demand justice.
Although I don’t know exactly what the level of Master Luo’s martial arts is, this old guy’s temper is like a rock in the pit. It stinks, and his ability to curse is a combination of the strengths of everyone, making it really difficult to deal with.
.
However, Lu Hanjiang did have a way to deal with this old man. Although it was not glorious, it was really useful.
That day, Mr. Luo came to visit. In terms of official position, both of them were from the fourth rank, and no one was older than the other. In terms of function, they were both civil and military, and they couldn't compete with each other. But in terms of age, the old man was older than Lu Hanjiang.
more than.
So when I came to visit today, this old man's idea was to use his seniority to suppress others.
Lu Hanjiang saw what he was thinking, so he used his own way to treat the other person's body, and returned the favor with a move to suppress him.
On this day, Luo Fuzi came to the door and was waiting in the main hall. Lao Qian stood aside like a fool and said nothing. Lu Hanjiang came after a while. As soon as the two met, the smell of gunpowder became strong.
"Boy, what a trick, you used a trick on me." Luo Fu looked at Lu Hanjiang with a smile.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir."
Lu Hanjiang raised a smile and said, "The master is here. It's a sin for me to miss you so much. Old Qian, why are you still hanging around? It's rare for Mr. Luo to come here. Go and invite the princess out."
Luo Yuanjing was stunned. Before he could react, Lao Qian ran to call for someone. The old man and the young man stared at each other in the main hall. After a while, Princess Yongle appeared.
When Luo Fuzi saw it, he immediately frowned.
Princess Yongle was doted on by her father, emperor, mother and concubines since she was a child, and it is understandable that she has developed a spoiled temperament. Although she is married to a woman, Grandma Sun, who is responsible for taking care of her, can't control people at all, and Lu Hanjiang can't even count on it. The character of this consort is better than
Since then, she has been deviant, so Yongle's temper has not changed at all.
Anyway, in Luo Fuzi's eyes, the princess's manners were not noticed, but she was much more noisy, so she didn't like it no matter what.
Just as she was about to speak out to warn her, she saw Lu Hanjiang put a cup of tea into Yongle's hand and said to her: "Princess, Master Luo is an elder, we can't neglect her."
Yongle took the tea, a little confused, but still followed Lu Hanjiang's words and put the tea on the table in front of Luo Yuanjing: "Master Luo, please use the tea."
"Not allowed, Your Highness!"
Luo Fuzi finally understood what this stupid boy meant. He glared at Lu Hanjiang who was laughing and joking, and then quickly stood up and bowed down: "How can I afford to serve tea to His Highness?"
"Master Luo, you are serious. You are the elder. It is natural for a junior to serve tea to an elder." Lu Hanjiang said without hesitation while watching the excitement.
Princess Yongle didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, Luo Fuzi was highly respected and respected by the emperor. Moreover, he was indeed an elder in age, which made sense for Li.
So Yongle followed Lu Hanjiang's words and said, "Master Luo is our guest today, so there is no need to refuse."
"...Thank you, Your Highness."
Luo Fuzi glared at Lu Hanjiang, then saluted Yongle again and sat back down with difficulty.
Lu Hanjiang looked at him with sincere eyes: "What did the old master just want to say?"
Hearing this, Master Luo snorted heavily: "Master Lu, please don't change the subject. My academy—"
"Wait a minute."
Lu Hanjiang interrupted him, pointed to the tea on the table and said, "Master Luo, this tea was given by Her Royal Highness the Princess, why don't you drink it?"
"..."
Luo Yuanjing was silent for a moment, then picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp: "I am rude, sir. Thank you for the tea, Your Highness."
Lu Hanjiang nodded with satisfaction, then made a gesture to Lao Qian, repeated his trick, brought another cup of tea, and handed it to Yongle with a smile.
Seeing this, Luo Fuzi's eyes twitched slightly. Sure enough, although Yongle didn't know what the two of them had in common, he still knew how to help his family deal with outsiders.
So she put new tea on Master Luo's table and said obediently: "Master, please use some tea."
"...Thank you, Your Highness, for the tea."
Luo Fuzi was angry, but he still behaved according to the etiquette. He stood up and gave a salute, and then drank a lot of tea.
In the following time, whenever Luo Fuzi opened his mouth to ask about Meihua Academy, Lu Hanjiang asked Yongle to serve him a cup of tea. Before even saying a few words, he bowed to him five or six times.
After going back and forth for a long time, Luo Fuzi finally gave up. As long as Princess Yongle was around, he couldn't get down to business, so he had no choice but to angrily leave.
"Lord Luo, please walk slowly. Come and play often when you have time."
Lu Hanjiang happily sent Luo Yuanjing away and looked back at the pile of empty teacups on the table. He must have thought that this old man would not want to come to his house to seek justice for a while.
Princess Yongle, who was being used as a shield, was a little unhappy. She even complained: "Humph, you only think of me at this time."
Lu Hanjiang was stunned: "No, I missed the princess very much when I was on a business trip. Didn't I bring you a gift this time?"
It was okay if he didn't mention the gift, but Yongle became even more angry when he mentioned the gift. He ignored Lu Hanjiang and ran away stomping away.
