Although Wang Anshi's relationship was extremely important, Lu Huiqing understood who the most important person in the dynasty was now. Lu Huiqing was not impatient and first went to drink tea in the teahouse where he used to go incognito.
Lu Huiqing got off the carriage and looked at the familiar scene here and couldn't help but sigh.
The Nanxunmen area has become very lively due to the expansion of the number of Taipei students. Many of the people who come in and out of the teahouse are Taipei students.
Dr. Cha recognized Lu Huiqing at a glance and said with surprise on his face: "It's been a long time since I've been a member."
Lu Huiqing nodded and said, "Business is better than before."
Dr. Tea quickly served and said: "Thank you."
Later, Lu Huiqing took his seat and listened to the scholars around him talking impassionedly about the attack on Liangzhou. It seemed like he was giving advice in a scholarly manner. Most of them talked about the attack on Liangzhou and the re-establishment of Zhongxing.
Lu Huiqing listened and tasted the tea soup carefully. Dr. Tea stepped forward and said with a smile: "It is still the best small group tea in Jianzhou. Is it still suitable for the taste of outsiders?"
Lu Huiqing said calmly: "It's okay, but what are these imperial students talking about?"
Dr. Tea smiled and said: "I don't know what the outsiders know. It is the imperial court's attack on Liangzhou. Nowadays, every tea shop and restaurant is hotly discussing it."
"Oh? I also want to ask the doctor for his advice."
Dr. Tea waved his hands and said, "How can I have any insights? The students here know much more than I do."
At this time, a Tai student at the next table asked: "Are the chances of winning this time in Liangzhou high?"
Another person said: "It is said that hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded Liangzhou City. Good news came one after another, but all the ministers in the temple were worried."
"There is no good news, but it should be taken, but the delay in good news is worrying."
An imperial student said seriously: "If Prime Minister Zhang really captures Liangzhou, I would like to go to his house to drive his horse and hold his whip."
Lu Huiqing couldn't help laughing after hearing this, but she heard an imperial student at the next table say: "Since the second year of Emperor Guangde's reign in the Tang Dynasty, Liangzhou has been occupied by Tubo, and the barbarians have stolen it for three hundred years."
"However, if Mr. Zhang can regain Liangzhou this time, the Han family will be able to connect to the Western Regions again in 317 years and recreate the Han and Tang Dynasties...this achievement will be achieved."
After listening for a while, Lu Huiqing stood up, left the tea money and left. Dr. Cha was shocked and thought that he had not served him well.
Lu Huiqing walked to the entrance of the teahouse and said to these imperial students again and again: "What you said is wrong. Liangzhou did not fall to the captives for three hundred years, and the Guiyi Army also recovered it during this period."
The students saw that the other person had an extraordinary bearing, so they did not dare to say anything in front of this person.
After saying this, Lu Huiqing left again, leaving behind the students who looked astonished.
A student from the Imperial Academy said: "We were talking to each other, and this person suddenly came to interrupt."
"This man looks so much like a horse, and his aura is quite overwhelming. I was so shocked that I couldn't say a word."
"Let's ignore him."
After pouring tea again, an imperial student lowered his voice and said, "But to be honest, my father said that with the attack on Liangzhou, even the direction of the Yushitai changed. What a powerful person Cai is indeed.
I dare not disobey Prime Minister Zhang even in court."
The student laughed and said: "I have heard that in the time of Renzong, the censor was in trouble with the ruler, but now the censor is in trouble with the ruler."
Several Tai students laughed.
After walking out of the teahouse, Lu Huiqing got on the carriage and went straight to Zhang Mansion.
When he arrived at Zhang Mansion, Lu Huiqing ordered his servants to take out the boxes of swords prepared in his hometown in Fujian. These were all things he carefully selected.
After handing over the post and the box, the doorman announced that an officer named Huang went out to reply to Lu Huiqing. Zhang Yue accompanied the emperor and was fasting with him in the Zhai Palace. He could only meet him after he returned home in the evening. But it was already today.
Since we have an important guest, we have to wait until five days before we can see Lu Huiqing.
When Lu Huiqing heard this, she thought to herself, Zhang Yue can't be seen by him even if he wants to see him now. In the past, when he came to visit Zhang Yue himself, there was no time when Zhang Yue didn't go out to greet him in person.
After becoming the prime minister, you have such a big air!
I see him and he still needs to make an appointment?
Lu Huiqing's entourage on the side said: "Huang Qianban, can you see clearly that this is Mr. Lu?"
Huang Qianban immediately accused him and said: "It's a villain who can't see Mount Tai. I can't make the decision in this matter. Let me report it to Peng Duguan."
Lu Huiqing knew that Peng Duguan was Zhang Yue's confidant, so he immediately waited in the living room of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Zhang Mansion also treated the guests attentively, offering tea, dry fruits, and Peng Duguan arrived in time.
When the other party saw Lu Huiqing, he bowed first and said, "Ms. Lu."
Lu Huiqing held the opponent's hands and said very intimately: "Guan Peng is still so smart and capable."
After the two sat down, Peng Duguan complained to Lu Huiqing: "The people below do not understand the rules and have offended Lu Xianggong. But this is indeed the case. The imperial court is attacking Liangzhou, and the prime minister is managing all kinds of things day by day. It can be said that he has no skills at all... If Lu
If you are not busy, the Prime Minister will be able to see Lu Gong after he comes in every day. But tonight and tomorrow night is really not possible."
Lu Gong is not busy... Lu Huiqing thought to herself, I am waiting for dispatches and have nothing to do. Why should I be busy? No, no, I, Lu Huiqing, have not been busy for three hundred and sixty-five days. Chapter
The more you want to see yourself, the more you can go out in the middle of the night.
Thinking of the past when he was in power, he called Zhang San and Lu Xianggong so affectionately, but now...
The emperor scheduled to see him three days later, but Zhang Yue gave him two days, okay, you are the prime minister.
Although Lu Huiqing was a little dissatisfied, he knew it was true, and he was only disappointed at this moment. He knew that Zhang Yuejin was the prime minister. The prime minister of the dynasty was not something he, an idle official, could see whenever he wanted.
The reason for waiting until later in the evening seems to be because they are 'taking care' of themselves.
But Lu Huiqing had no choice but to accept that before meeting the saint, he must meet Zhang Yue. Although he had broken some rules, the one who could decide Lu Huiqing's fate now was not the emperor but Zhang Yue. He did not dare to go there again.
Zhang San alone deserves all his achievements.
After saying that, Lu Huiqing stood up and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you so much Peng Du for taking care of it."
Guan Peng Du said with a smile: "I'm tired, Sir, I have to go on a short trip."
"Don't dare take it!" Lu Huiqing pulled away and put away her smile.
After Lu Huiqing walked out of the door, he looked at the official hall full of officials who came to ask for appointments, letters, and posts. He had also experienced this scene back then.
It's a pity that it only lasted less than a year.
…
Zhang Yue was sitting in the carriage on his way back home.
In his hand was still the siege of Liangzhou that he had received the day before yesterday.
Wang Hou had always reported to the emperor that the day before yesterday he was about to attack Liangzhou City, but unfortunately a heavy rain prevented the siege equipment from reaching the city, so the attack on Liangzhou was in vain.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but lie, you, Wang Hou, are walking your fucking dog.
Every time, I try to break through Liangzhou City quickly, quickly, but for some reason I fail.
He walked around in circles with himself and his family.
But he and the officials couldn't urge them, so they had to sit there and wait. After all, this was something they had learned before.
However, the amount of food and grass consumed by hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line is an astronomical figure, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of civilians who are off work to transport this food, grass and weapons.
If Wang Hou drags on, Liangzhou will not be conquered, and the finances of Sichuan and Shaanxi will collapse first, and then there will be civil uprisings.
Although the odds of winning Liangzhou were high, being unable to capture it for a long time also made me anxious. There were many things that I had calculated before and thought they were foolproof, but I realized that this was not the case when I got to the front.
Zhang Yue is still a little patient, but the officials have become a little anxious these days.
Zhang Yue certainly understood the anxiety and dissatisfaction of the officials.
This is indeed the state when people are extremely anxious. Guan Jia is an impetuous person and wants to personally intervene in everything. Seeing the anxious situation in Liangzhou, if he hadn't stopped him, Guan Jia would have gone around several times.
Instead, he gave orders to the frontline generals.
Zhang Yue said to the officials: "Your Majesty, the great affairs of the country are to be enshrined in the army."
"In military affairs, Your Majesty is not as good as his ministers, but his ministers are not as good as the generals on the front line."
"If Liangzhou is defeated, I will punish the generals, and then Your Majesty will punish the ministers. The most important thing for Your Majesty right now is to pray for protection."
Professional matters should be left to professional people. As the emperor, you only need to lead all the ministers to pray to heaven. This is a more important matter than your personal intervention.
Emperor Qianlong also controlled the battle situation thousands of miles away, but history books say that although he did not come to the scene in person, he seemed to have witnessed everything with his own eyes. He was even fully aware of the intrigues and concealment of facts among the frontline generals.
You don't have this ability.
After being urged by Zhang Yue, the official could only say: "Then everything will be entrusted to you!"
In the end, the officials gave up and went to pray instead.
Zhang Yue was happy to think that the officials had finally listened to the advice, but he also felt very tired.
Thinking of this, he opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the busy scene of traffic on the road outside the window. This is a beautiful world in Bianjing City. This lively atmosphere rushed to his face, Zhang Yue thought, after all, in this world, the surname is Zhao.
, even though I am now the prime minister, I am only managing the world for your Zhao family for a few years.
Even though he knew this, and he was so relieved, why...why did he try so hard?
This is something Zhang Yue himself doesn’t understand.
Zhang Yue returned to his residence, and Peng Jingyi reported to Zhang Yue.
Hearing that Lu Huiqing had returned to the capital to meet him before the emperor, Zhang Yue knew it well.
"The Prime Minister has arranged for Mr. Lu to pay a visit to the mansion tomorrow after he comes in."
Zhang Yue nodded when he heard this. In fact, he was very free tonight and tomorrow night, but he couldn't see Lu Huiqing.
It's not that he was deliberately slighting him.
In Water Margin, Dai Zong was found out while pretending to be sending a reply from Cai Jing to Magistrate Cai.
Why? Because Dai Zong said that after he sent the letter that day, he replied at five o'clock the next morning.
This is how Dai Zong wrote letters to the government as a minister, but Cai Jing had different rules when he was the prime minister of the dynasty. Any letter that arrived at the Cai Mansion would have to be "waited for three days" before being returned. Even Cai Jing's own son had to be waited for three days.
So let alone meeting Cai Jing, even a reply to WeChat would take three days.
As for Lu Huiqing, you can't be too close to him, and you can't be too far away from him. Peng Jingyi still handled this matter according to his own wishes.
Zhang Yue didn't see any officials that night, but just replied to a few letters. He never had to write letters himself, he just had to read them after the people below him wrote them.
After Zhang Yue had a vegetarian meal with his family, he asked Zhang Cheng about his schoolwork, talked with Qi Niang and went to bed to rest.
I slept until midnight when I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door: "Prime Minister! Liangzhou has been restored!"
Zhang Yue wasn't sleeping very well. Hearing this, he stood up and calmed down.
