It seems that the sudden incident far away in Jingzhou was caused by the Han Dynasty, and it can be traced to Lu Xun.

This was something Lu Yi had never thought of.

Otherwise, I am a bad scholar!

Lu Yi, who was shocked by Xiao Xiao, looked at Mi Shiyilang with complicated eyes.

From top to bottom in the school administration, the most knowledgeable ones are those who are proficient in writing.

Those so-called scholars and Confucian scholars regarded the school affairs office as enemies.

Not to mention condescending to come to the school affairs office to be a school official.

If he had such a scheming person under his command, why could he only watch Lu Xun slander the school affairs office in the early years, but the school affairs office could do nothing to him?

Of course, he came to confront Mi Shiyilang in person, so he naturally had his own considerations:

"In any case, the school affairs office was involved in the Jingzhou food supply issue. If His Majesty investigates this matter, the school affairs office may be implicated."

Mi Shiyilang looked calm and asked:

"Then what is Your Majesty's attitude towards this matter now?"

Lu Yi choked for a moment, and then said sarcastically:

"Your Majesty is currently ill, and it is a troubled time. His Majesty cannot take care of this matter for the time being..."

As Mi Langjun said, although the price of food in Jingzhou has increased, there is no shortage of food in the army.

If there is no shortage of military rations and the soldiers are stable, then it is not a big deal.

As for those common people...

In the past few years in Jiangdong, if food can be reduced to a thousand dollars, it is considered the best year.

The people in Jiangdong can afford such high food prices, but the common people in Jingzhou can't even afford food prices of several hundred yuan?

When Mi Shiyilang heard this, he immediately smiled:

"Since Lord Wu has not mentioned this matter, what does Lu Zhongshu have to worry about?"

Lu Yi raised his cup and took a sip of tea, sighing slightly:

"Mr. Mi Lang, you don't know something. Ever since His Majesty became ill, everything in the palace has been uneasy."

Putting down the teacup, he looked at Mi Shiyilang, "There are only you and me here, and I'm not afraid to tell Mi Langjun what's on my mind."

"Rumors are everywhere in this city now, and they can say anything. Although most of them are rumors, they are groundless and may not be without reason!"

Mi Shiyilang refilled Lu Yi's tea and said:

"Since Lu Zhongshu can trust me, why not speak more clearly?"

Then he poured himself tea again, "What kind of groundless theory is this groundless theory? And what kind of groundless theory is it?"

Lu Yi moved his lips, and finally shook his head with a wry smile:

"Mi Langjun, don't ask any more questions. It's enough for you to know that people in Jianye are uneasy nowadays."

"Even I," Lu Yi pointed at himself, "are worried about being implicated. That's why I came to find Mr. Mi anxiously to find out what happened in Jingzhou. I just want to have a good idea in my heart, just in case.

.”

Mi Shiyilang nodded to express his understanding.

Then he dipped his hands in tea, wrote the word "Crown Prince" on the case, looked at Lu Yi, and asked with his eyes.

Lu Yi glanced at it and said nothing. He just raised his glass and took another sip of tea.

Mi Shiyilang nodded, raised his sleeves and swept away all traces of water.

For Mi Shiyilang, it was enough to get such a hint.

Coupled with the comprehensive judgment of other sources.

Mi Shiyilang can be sure that the fight for the crown prince in the Wu Kingdom has probably reached a life-and-death situation.

Such big events are ahead, and the price of food in Jingzhou has increased significantly. For the big shots in Jianye, as long as they are not involved in the military, they will basically be ignored.

Thinking of this, Mi Shiyilang couldn't help but feel endless admiration for someone.

My brother who was far away in Chang'an could see the situation in Wu State even more clearly than he who was in Jianye.

With such foresight and foresight, this is probably what makes a decisive victory thousands of miles away.

After drinking tea and getting the answer he wanted, Lu Yi finally stood up and left:

"My coming here this time is a bit abrupt. Please forgive me for disturbing me. I am still busy with worldly affairs, so I won't disturb Mr. Mi."

Although the food price issue in Jingzhou was not solved, a solution was found to solve Lu Xun's problem.

It's a worthwhile trip.

Unexpectedly, Mi Langjun did not get up to see him off, but refilled his tea again, then looked up at Lu Yi and said abruptly:

"I heard that whether it is the prince or the king of Lu, they all show their virtues to others and like to be courteous to the scholars."

"I heard that King Lu personally went to Zhu Gongxu's official residence and sat down there, hoping to make a good relationship with him. His love is like this for a good scholar."

Having said this, Mi Shiyilang's tone paused for a long time before continuing to ask:

"But the school affairs office is alienated from many scholars. Lu Zhongshu secretly did these things for King Lu. Are you sure that King Lu will accept the school office in the future?"

Lu Yi suddenly stopped, then turned around and stared at Mi Shiyilang.

Mi Shiyilang took a sip of hot tea, then stretched out his hand towards the seat with a smile.

Lu Yi's face turned green and white, and finally turned around and sat down again.

The two sat opposite each other, but fell silent again.

After a while, Lu Yi, who looked a little ugly, calmed down and finally said:

"What did Mr. Mi Lang mean by what he said just now?"

Mi Shiyilang poured new tea for Lu Yi and asked:

"Did Lu Zhongshu really not think about this issue?"

Lu Yi fell silent.

To say that I have never thought about it would be a lie.

As a vicious dog raised by Sun Quan, the school affairs office bit almost all the important officials in the court in the early years, and even the Prime Minister Gu Yong was not able to avoid it.

I don’t know how many people want to kill themselves.

In recent years, the school affairs office has made a lot of money in Jingzhou, not only competing with the wealthy families for profits, but also setting up checkpoints to collect taxes on the caravans coming and going.

By the way, which caravan doesn’t have a wealthy family behind it?

As the saying goes, cutting off someone's financial path is like killing one's parents.

Therefore, it is truly a fact and not an exaggeration to say that the enemies of the school affairs office are everywhere in the Wu Dynasty.

Sun Quan's sudden serious illness a few days ago caused turmoil in the palace and court, and also gave Lu Yi a huge sense of crisis.

One emperor and one courtier!

Moreover, His Majesty is indeed older.

If His Majesty really wants to control Long Bintian, then how the school government can protect itself in the new dynasty is an unavoidable question.

Yes, to protect yourself and escape unscathed is the greatest luxury you can hope for.

Having been a vicious dog for so many years, Lu Yi knew very well how malicious the government and the public were towards the school affairs office.

In particular, the princelings headed by Lu Xun and others were the most malicious towards the school affairs office.

Therefore, between the prince and King Lu, Lu Yi naturally had no choice but to choose King Lu.

Now he has finally connected with Princess Quan.

In the future, as long as Princess Quan can say some kind words in front of King Lu, and can keep her current status without asking for anything but to escape unscathed, that would be great.

Obviously, Lu Yi's thoughts were exposed by Mi Shiyilang just now.

After a long silence, Lu Yi spoke again:

"Mi Langjun means, does King Lu also refuse to tolerate me?"

Mi Shiyilang smiled and said leisurely:

"I once heard that in the past, Yuan Shu had arrogantly proclaimed himself emperor, and Cao Cao attacked him. The two armies were at loggerheads for a long time. Cao Cao's army was low on food and grass, so he used the heads of the food and grass officials to stabilize the morale of the army, and finally defeated Yuan Shu."

The saying "I will take care of your wife" is very famous.

Mentioning this old incident, Mi Shiyilang looked at Lu Yi, knocked on the table, and reminded:

"The King of Lu shows his virtue to others. If he really can inherit the throne in the future, Lu Zhongshu feels that the King of Lu will listen to the advice of his ministers and abandon the school office to win people's hearts, and even take this opportunity to establish his prestige."

"Or will you insist on going your own way, not hesitate to go against the officials and officials of the government and the public, and you must keep the school affairs office?"

"What I'm afraid of is that, not to mention supporting Lu Zhongshu's wife, it's probably rare not to be implicated!"
