It wasn't until late at night that Lu Yijian dragged his tired body back home. His son Lu Gongchuo immediately led people to welcome him out and asked with concern: "Father, are things going well in the palace?"
Hearing this, Lu Yijian shook his head, dejected.
When Lu Gongchuo saw him, he didn't want to ask any more questions. He quickly said: "Father must be tired from working on state affairs today. Son, I have ordered someone to boil footbath water for you and steam saury..."
Lu Yijian nodded and walked towards the bedroom.
Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something and slapped his thigh in annoyance: "When did I ever say anything disrespectful to a military official?"
So, he carefully recalled every word he said before Jun.
The expression on Yuantai's face, who was so powerful in the Song Dynasty, suddenly became extremely exciting.
"Flying geese all day long, I don't want to be pecked by geese when I'm old!" The prime minister was angry and funny.
Until now, how could he not know that he had been led into a ditch by that prince?
The other party used an extremely small but very practical conversational skill to always take the initiative, allowing him and the officials to preconceptions and create established facts, so no one cared about the facts.
Because the attention was attracted by what he said.
However, after only a moment, Lu Yijian returned to normal.
He came from a family of officials, and his uncle, nephew, father and son were ministers of the Song Dynasty for two generations, and they were all ministers of the Song Dynasty.
Of course, what storms and waves have we not seen? What losses have we not suffered?
Therefore, he knows that sometimes it is a blessing to suffer a loss, and it is a blessing to take the blame.
Toughness also depends on time and people.
Just like last year, the official wanted to promote his favorite Lin Yu to be the minister of Tianzhang Pavilion.
This was strongly opposed and protested by the court officials.
Because this Lin Yu was not an ordinary person, he was a traitor in the eyes of the court officials.
Where is the rape?
Because this guy is favored not by being able to serve the officials or being diligent in doing things, but by... the magic of the room...
Originally, the ministers were very dissatisfied with Lin Yu.
Now that the official family wants to appoint such a villain to serve as a lecturer at Tianzhang Pavilion, do the scholar-bureaucrats still need to have dignity?
As Prime Minister, Lu Yijian was caught in the middle and suffered from both sides.
If you do it, you will be criticized by public opinion; if you don't do it, you will be hated by the officials.
So, he thought of a way. Didn't the official family want to use Lin Yu? Okay! I agree, but you also have to agree to appoint another person as the minister of Tianzhang Pavilion!
who?
It was Wang Zhu, the imperial aide who was pushed out by the court officials to fight with Lin Yu!
So the face of both sides was taken care of.
Therefore, Lu Yijian was still very tactful when he should be tactful.
In front of officials, his toughness and stubbornness were always only reflected in some small places.
So, Lu Yijian thought about it as soon as she was angry: "Just think that I have fallen in love with a new thing again!"
"Just like I love saury..."
Everyone knows that Duke Shen was addicted to swordfish and would feel uncomfortable if he didn't eat it for a day!
Therefore, there was Lu's own caravan from Shouzhou to Bianjing specifically to transport fresh saury for him.
The people of Shouzhou were very moved when they heard that Lu Xianggong loved the saury in his hometown, so they kept the freshest and best saury exclusively for him for more than ten years.
But the problem is...
No matter how delicious something is, if a person eats it for more than ten years, he will get tired of it.
So why was Lu Yijian able to persist for so long?
The answer is, it's not because Lu Yijian really likes to eat saury.
There is someone else who really likes saury, and that person is the current official!
This official especially likes to eat Caohuai white fish from the Huaihe River in Shouzhou.
But the problem is that this best swordfish is not only produced in small quantities, but also expensive.
The price of transporting it from Shouzhou to Bianjing is sky-high - each item costs at least a certain amount of money!
However, this official cherished feathers and was unwilling to use the state's public funds to satisfy his own desires no matter what.
Therefore, at this time, Lu Yijian stepped forward and invented a temperament for himself that was fond of swordfish.
Use the Lu family's money to buy saury for the official family.
From the first year of Tiansheng, when he was still a direct bachelor of Longtuge, to now for eighteen years, his hobby of swordfish has never changed.
Even when he was away from home, his business trip transporting swordfish from Shouzhou to Bianjing never stopped.
Every half month, his wife would bring two baskets of still-living saury fish that had just been sent from Shouzhou to Bianjing, go to the palace to see the queen, and say something like, "Oh, Shouzhou has sent saury fish again."
My concubine was thinking about the queen and the official family, so she brought some into the palace to give the two saints a try.
The local products from my hometown are not valuable!
As for why only two baskets are delivered each time?
There is also a way to do this.
Two baskets, neither more nor less, not attracting attention, can satisfy the official family, and the Lu family can afford it.
Now, Lu Yijian looked back and carefully thought about what happened in Chunfang today.
His mind immediately thought of something.
Just like those who go to the theater in Bianjing Goulanwasheli, the official family also needs ministers to play different roles.
If there are those who are flattering, there must also be those who are flattering.
If there is praise, there must be teasing.
Otherwise, the play will not go on!
How can the officials’ wisdom, prowess, and foresight be reflected?
In the past, people like Wang Zeng, Zhang Shixun and Li Di just couldn't understand this, so once they were dismissed, they basically could only stay in place.
But he, Lu Yijian, rose and fell three times, and became prime minister three times. In between, he also served as the Prime Minister for varying lengths of time.
Why?
The reason is that he can bend and stretch, harden, and shrink back.
Now, since Shou Guogong is so wise and powerful, it seems that the future state affairs of the Song Dynasty may be involved with this young man, who has already shown his intelligence.
There is no doubt about this!
Because there will always be people who can't help but want to use Duke Shou to threaten or blackmail their enemies.
Isn’t that what Fu Bi did this time?
Fu Bi started the conversation. Are others fools and unable to learn from it?
Even Lu Yijian, there may be a time when he can borrow the power of Duke Shou.
Therefore, Lu Yi simply found a way to get along with the Duke of Shou.
Tonight, didn't Duke Shou use him as a backdrop to show off his brilliance, prowess, intelligence and wisdom?
Isn't the effect very good?
Then Duke Shou will definitely need such people and such things in the future.
Before this role has been seized by others, he should take the first step and seize this role into his own hands.
Thinking of this, Lu Yijian turned around and said to his son: "Gong Chuo, you will write a letter back to Shouzhou tomorrow and ask your third brother to return to Beijing!"
Lu Yijian had five sons, among whom he liked and valued the most and regarded him as the successor. The Lu family would rely on his third son Lu Gongzhu in the future.
Therefore, after Lu Gongzhu passed the Jinshi examination, Lu Yijian did not let him stay as an official, but ordered him to go home and continue studying.
Why?
Establish a character!
What kind of persona do you want to set up?
A person who is indifferent to fame and has no desires or pursuits.
But now, after Shou Guogong has shown his intelligence and skills, Lu Yijian knows that Lu Gong can no longer support him like this. If he does, he will die, and other coquettish bitches will take away his position.
Therefore, Mr. Lu had to return to Beijing and go to Duke Shou.
This is called a card position!
Block the way of other competitors and leave them with nowhere to go!
And he gave up his old face to pave the way for his son.
Just like back then, his father sacrificed his face and put in a good word for him to the then Prime Minister Wang Qinruo.
