Mr. Lin's mouth is like a human-shaped crossbow machine. He shoots arrows indiscriminately.
Du Changshi quickly retorted after being choked, "Who in this world doesn't like profit?"
Mr. Lin thought about it for a while and admitted, "I'm not as obviously happy as you are."
Du Changshi rolled his eyes, "I am straightforward and honest by nature."
"I remember that Du Zhuangyuan was a mature and prudent man. Since your surname is Du, do you recognize Du Zhuangyuan?"
"That's my eldest brother, can I not recognize him?" Du Changshi said, "Everyone says that my eldest brother and I are exactly the same."
Mr. Lin couldn't help but frown, "I think Du Zhuangyuan had a prosperous official career and accomplished a lot. But I didn't know that the officialdom of the imperial capital was so corrupt that he could even tell such obvious lies." He asked Du Changshi, "You don't really believe this.
Talk?"
Du Changshi was so upset again that he glared at Old Mr. Lin angrily, and Mu Anzhi couldn't help but laugh. In the future, Du Changshi would know that he was still in Mr. Lin's eyes. After all, he was a legend, and someone like Tang Mo could not help but laugh.
He has a pleasant temperament but lacks knowledge. In the eyes of Mr. Lin, he is no different from a piece of wood.
Of course, Mr. Lin's politeness to Mu Anzhi largely depends on the fact that in Mr. Lin's view, Mu Anzhi is the legitimate prince. In addition, when Mu Anzhi came to New Yicheng, his men did not disturb the people.
What he did in the end was very practical, so Mr. Lin believed that Mu Anzhi could restrain his subordinates and was a practical person.
Du Changshi asked, "I heard that Sir once served in the Imperial College. I wonder if Sir Hua Changshi, another Changshi of our Highness, recognizes him?" Du Changshi couldn't embarrass himself alone. If Hua Changshi didn't come, he would
Hua Changshi's famous name has been published.
Mr. Lin said, "He, remember, when he was a doctor of the Imperial College, he had some knowledge, but he was a little weak."
As expected, he was a mean talker who treated everyone equally. Du Changshi was satisfied.
Mr. Lin gave a "high" evaluation to Mu Anzhi's long history. Mu Anzhi said, "Come this time, the princess of the county has also come to northern Xinjiang with us. Sir, do you want to meet the princess of the county?"
"Which county princess? I have no friendship with the feudal prince?" Mr. Lin asked.
"Princess of Jinjun." Mu Anzhi said.
Mr. Lin slapped his chopsticks on the table. Du Changshi looked at him doubtfully and said dissatisfied, "Your Highness, Corporal Li Xian, you can't throw your chopsticks, old man!"
Mr. Lin was already angry, "Liu Thief and I are at odds with each other!"
The old man was furious, and Du Changshi and Mu An were a little confused. The two looked at each other, and Du Changshi poured a full bottle of wine for him and handed it to his hand, "Look, we are juniors. You are like this. You are not
Do you sympathize with Empress Liu? The princess is the eldest sister of Empress Liu, so His Highness is asking this question. If he knew that you had a bad relationship with the Liu family, would His Highness still ask you? Your Highness is kind-hearted, so it is not good for you to do this."
Mr. Lin was so angry that he raised his head and drank the wine before suppressing the anger in his heart and said angrily, "Queen Liu's matter is indeed unjust. The Liu family was ruined in the end. Your Majesty's methods were not bright, but the Liu family got this end."
, not unfair at all!”
Apparently being mistaken for being closely related to the Liu family made the old man extremely displeased. No need to ask anymore, Mr. Lin talked about the past, "The Liu family is so powerful that one family and two men are not enough. To the extent that they control the imperial court, they act arbitrarily and domineeringly."
He is arrogant and arrogant, all his children are in high positions, all women have to marry into high-ranking families, and the main families of three generations of emperors are all from the Liu family, how can this not be the way to die!"
The Liu family was wiped out twenty years ago. Nowadays, the situation has changed and the power has changed. No one in the imperial capital has mentioned the word "Liu" anymore. Neither Mu Anzhi nor Du Changshi know these things. Mu An's way, "never"
I heard it said that the late emperor was filial to the queen and her surname was Wang."
"Queen Xiaojing is not the empress of the Yuan Dynasty, but the successor. The empress of the Yuan Dynasty is the empress Xiaorui. Even my mother, Queen Mother Lan, is also the successor and supporter." Mr. Lin spoke openly, "Maybe it is because of your highness's birth, so there is no one."
I would like to mention to you that the former Duke’s wife, Princess Dingguo, was the daughter of Empress Xiaorui. The Liu family was married to the royal family for three generations, and they controlled the Imperial Guard for a century. King Zheng lost his throne.
, it was just because she did not want to marry a daughter of the Liu family. The reason why the princess of the county whom Your Highness mentioned married to the King of Jin was just because she wanted to control the bodyguard of the King of Jin and coordinate with the Northwest Army in Jin.
.This means that if his family is not a powerful official, who is a powerful official?"
"Although I was convicted and demoted, I am still a loyal member of the court. How could I join the Liu family?" And I am not familiar with any princess at all!
Mu Anzhi's mood was complicated and his face was expressionless.
"This has nothing to do with my Highness." Du Changshi poured wine for the old man again and said calmly, "We didn't know about these things about the Liu family before. Don't you know? These rights and wrongs are all over.
The princess is now old and has only one daughter. She passed by Prince Jin's Mansion on the way to the feudal lord. The princess's life was not easy and she was treated harshly. Now no one in the imperial capital has mentioned anything about the Liu family.
When the land is managed well, if there are broken roads, repair them where they need to be repaired, and if there are canals that need to be cleaned, clean them if they need to. This is considered as fulfilling the duties of the vassal king."
Mu Anzhi raised his glass and said, "The past is over."
After the two drank wine, Mr. Lin said, "Your Highness is laughing at this old man's abrupt temper." No matter how much he dislikes the Liu family, His Highness the Prince is also snow-white. Thinking of His Highness the Prince's background, many people feel pity for Mr. Lin.
I'm also a little embarrassed.
Mu Anzhi said sternly, "No one has ever told me about these old things. Someone please tell me. It's better for me to know than not to know."
"These are all old things. Your Highness, don't take it to heart. Just leave it as it was before." Mr. Lin said, "The Liu family has gone beyond the rules of ministers, but they are not a treacherous family. I don't like the Liu family.
Because he is suspected of having powerful ministers, he almost overshadows the imperial family. Once the imperial family of the country is weak, the political framework will inevitably be unstable. But any family with powerful ministers will bring disaster to the world and contribute to the world. Peace in the northwest has been peaceful for many years, and it has always relied on the strength of the Liu family, that is, the Lu family.
It was also the time when the old Duke of Guo had a keen eye to recognize talents and promoted them at a young age."
Speaking of the Lu family, Mr. Lin said, "Except for the Ruihou family, there really aren't any good people."
Mu Anzhi asked, "How does it compare with the Liu family back then?"
Mr. Lin swung the wine in his glass and took a sip, "The disaster that caused the collapse of the Liu family was due to the incompetence of the younger members of the family. If the old man had a successor, he would not support Lu Boxin to take over the northwest army. This is the old man.
The respectable thing about the Duke is that he did not hand over the Northwest Army to an incompetent person for the sake of his own family. The son of the old Duke was known to the world for his incompetence. Brothers Lu Boxin and Lu Zhongming were known as the two heroes of the Lu family in those days.
What kind of outstanding person is Lu Zhongming? Does he have achievements in military strategy or literary strategy? The only difference between him and the son of the old prince is that one is stupid on the outside and the other is stupid on the inside."
Du Changshi couldn't stop laughing. He thought to himself that you, the old man, are in Northern Xinjiang and will not go back. You are so straightforward, but even if you go back, you won't be able to survive. In Northern Xinjiang, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. You can say what you want.
The arrow speaks straight to my heart.
Warm sunlight shone in through the window pane. Mu Anzhi thought for a while, "Although I don't like Lu Shangshu and I don't get along with him in general, but he has been the Shangshu of the Ministry of War for many years and has not seen any mistakes."
Mr. Lin couldn't help but be impressed when he heard what Mu Anzhi said calmly. This old man only had a bad temper, but he was knowledgeable throughout ancient history. He had experienced the dispute between Emperor Mu Xuan and the Liu family, but he had never seen Mu Anzhi.
In these years of life, one can also imagine Mu Anzhi's neglect in the royal family. Unexpectedly, Mu Anzhi could speak fairly to the Lu family in the imperial capital. Mr. Lin said, "People who are stupid outside will know that he is a fool at a glance. No one is surprised.
. Those who are stupid are mostly villains. The old man was demoted because he could not see the Lu family framed the Liu family for rebellion. It is a fact that the Liu family has too much power. It is still credible to say that the old man is plotting a rebellion, but
As for the son of the old Duke, with that stupid head, does he have the ability to rebel? He just found some swords, guns and armor in the Liu family and said he was treason. The Liu family has been in charge of the army for many years, so what does it mean to have armor in the house? If he has the intention to rebel, the imperial guard
There are old troops in the north and west, who would rebel and hide armor at home instead of contacting the army? From this we can see that Duke Lu Guo is really acting like a villain."
"Once your character falls from the lower class, it will bring disaster if you hold a high position. What's more, Mr. Lu Guogong and his mother are far more greedy than ordinary people." Mr. Lin sighed, "Although I don't like the excessive power of the Liu family, but the Liu family is from a wealthy family.
The advantage of a big family is that they know what power and position are, know how to take advantage of the situation, and know how to make trade-offs. Therefore, the Liu family has been powerful for many years, but the world has not been in great chaos. The Lu family is just a family of upstarts, and the Duke of Lu was originally a relative.
Jue, if you are purely short-sighted and ignorant, you would just spend some money and wealth, but the Lu family has read a few books. They have great ambitions but few talents, and in such a fateful position as a foreign relative, honor, wealth and honor
How frightening it must be to know that the position of the concubine is all related."
Du Changshi felt the same, "That's true. When I first selected the concubine for the East Palace, although there was talk of marrying the Lu family's daughter, I thought it was just a rumor spread by people. I didn't expect that I actually married the Lu family's daughter later, which shocked me.
."
Mu Anzhi said that the inner story here is a bit hard to tell. However, in Mu Anzhi's opinion, it was better for the East Palace to marry the Duke of Lan State than to marry the daughter of the Lu family.
Mr. Lin said, "In the past, Lu Boxin was a generous man, had many old friends, and achieved great achievements. Lu Zhongming was suspicious of the world. He couldn't even believe his sisters and nephews who depended on him for good and bad. Who else would he believe?"
The Lin family's mutton stew tasted very good. After lunch, Mu Anzhi talked about some local governance matters. At that time, he wanted to invite the old man to his house as a guest, but he didn't want the old man to say harshly, "My temperament is not suitable for being an official."
, Besides, my official school is doing well. Your Highness, don’t look down on the three melons and two dates of our official school. When I first came to Xinyi, there were no official schools here. Now, there are more than a dozen scholars. Xinyi has not opened one yet.
Regarding the government examination, I would like to tell His Highness that the year after next will be the year of autumn. Your Highness should tell the court in advance that we are going to hold the government examination in Xinyi. After we get the candidates, we can go to the imperial capital to take the spring test."
"I'll take care of this when I get back." Mu Anzhi didn't force it. Anyway, the old gentleman couldn't run away here. If he wanted to ask for advice, he could come over at any time.
When it was time to say goodbye in the evening, Mu Anzhi did not let the old man see him off in person. Lin Rong, the grandson of Mr. Lin, respectfully sent Mu Anzhi to the door to board the car. Mu Anzhi held his hand and said, "We are of the same age. If you have time, we might as well Come sit down at my place and let's talk."
Lin Rong said calmly, "Yes."
This trip was fruitful. Mu Anzhi smiled slightly and boarded the car to say goodbye.
