Lu Huiqing is really cruel and ruthless.

At this moment, Zhang Yue suddenly remembered a sentence that was circulated on the Internet in later generations.

Never doubt the cruelty of political struggle, never underestimate the shamelessness of intellectuals, and never forget the ignorance of the people.

Now Zhang Yue fully agrees with the first two sentences, and this time he finally paid enough tuition.

After the Zhengshitang meeting, Lu Huiqing said to Zhang Yue: "Stay here!"

Zhang Yue stayed behind, and he and Lu Huiqing were the only two people left in the hall. All the minor officials on the side also left.

Lu Huiqing smiled at Zhang Yue, but this smile was a little different from the previous smile that looked humble and had a hint of unruliness. Today, Lu Huiqing's smile seemed a little inquiring, as if he was assessing the damage caused to him this time.

How many.

Zhang Yue spread his hands to Lu Huiqing and said with a smile: "Brother Jifu, it was your clever move and you won."

Lu Huiqing smiled and then said seriously: "I don't understand what Du Zhi said."

Zhang Yue smiled when he heard this, and then said: "Brother Jifu, where do you plan to help me arrange my trip this time?"

Lu Huiqing smiled and said: "Duzhi, you and I have known each other for many years. I will speak for you when it comes to the government. You can just stay in Beijing. I will need more help from you in the future."

Zhang Yue said: "Brother Jifu, what are you talking about? If I stay in Jingli, you may not be able to sleep well at night!"

Lu Huiqing smiled and said: "Du Zhi, you are really good at joking. Since you plan to go out to relax, you can come back in a few days. In addition to several prefectures in the world, if you want to know any state, I will arrange it for you.

That’s it.”

For example, at the level of Jiangning Prefecture and Daming Prefecture, only Prime Ministers Wang Anshi and Han Jiang can concurrently serve as magistrates or magistrates when they are abroad.

At the level of Zhang Yue, it is almost as good as participating in political affairs. The states below the government can choose at will.

Zhang Yue smiled and said: "That's easy to handle. What do you think of me returning to Jianzhou to know the state?"

After saying this, Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing looked at each other and laughed.

Lu Huiqing smiled and said: "I really admire Duzhi for having the leisure to joke at this time. It seems that you will be back soon."

Zhang Yue said: "It doesn't matter whether you come back or not. Let me ask Brother Jifu, what do you think about the reform of the exemption law that you and I discussed before?"

Lu Huiqing lowered her face and said: "I never compromise my words when doing things because of people. In less than a month, the exemption law will be changed, and everything will be as you and I discussed before."

Zhang Yue was delighted when he heard this. He thought Lu Huiqing would default on the bill.

"That's great. Zhang thanked Mr. Lu on behalf of those poor people."

Lu Huiqing sneered and said: "Who do you think Lu is? Am I a person who breaks my word? Besides, it was you who pushed for this matter. When the time comes, in front of the officials, Lu will be fully aware of your achievements."

stated.”

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you have merit or not. The law of exemption from service was originally established by me and Han Gong, but now everyone thinks it belongs to Wang Xianggong and Lu Gong, what can I say?"

Lu Huiqing was a little unhappy when he heard this and said: "Du, now you and I won't say these unhappy words."

"I leave you here today to say a few words from the bottom of my heart. Over the years, Lu has offended too many people. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to secure his position. He may even not be able to go out safely in a few days. Or maybe it's just as you said.

You can’t even tell if you eat a sword.”

Speaking of this, Lu Huiqing let out a long sigh.

Zhang Yue said: "Brother Jifu, you are also participating in politics now, why do you have to say such depressing words?"

Lu Huiqing said: "Du Zhi, I regard you as a confidant and someone I can talk to you about. I want to say a few words from the bottom of my heart to you. But what do you mean by laughing at Lu this time?"

A close friend? A close friend who I will send you thousands of miles away?

"Brother Jifu's words are serious, that's all you say. The word "confidant" is beyond the reach of Zhang. However, there is a saying that you should never have friends in the future. I believe Brother Jifu will definitely find friends on the road."

Lu Huiqing laughed and said: "Du Zhi, you and Zi Hou are really brothers, and you always say that you will never forgive others. But Zi Hou, haha..."

Lu Huiqing glanced at Zhang Yue, and the implication seemed to be that Zhang Dun and I are of the same mind, but our friendship with you is deeper.

Having said this, Lu Huiqing clasped his hands behind his back and walked slowly in the hall: "But having said that, after Lu, you are the only one in the world who can be regarded as a prime minister, Zihou is the other, and your nephew is also the only one.

"

Zhang Yue thought of this and said: "Brother Jifu, please don't involve my nephew in your affairs."

Lu Huiqing said: "Let's face it, Lu is not an unreasonable person. Don't tell me whether I am willing or not? If Zihou knew that I had this intention, he would not forgive me."

Zhang Yue nodded.

After a pause, Lu Huiqing said: "But having said that, do you know that since the Duke of Xi became the prime minister, our Fujian people Xuan Ma worshiped the prime minister, and there was an endless stream of officials and political participants. Why is this?"

Zhang Yue said: "Taizu said that he was not allowed to use Southerners as prime ministers. After Wang Qinruo and the Duke of Xi, of course Southerners were more appreciated by the emperor."

Lu Huiqing said: "Yes, the so-called ability to know the emperor's will is the only reason why Lu is more conceited than you and Mr. Han."

"In the final analysis, neither you nor Mr. Han can take the path that the emperor wants to take in his heart. Only Lu can take it!"

Zhang Yue secretly laughed, Lu Huiqing's words sounded similar to Li Shizhong's words, "Your Majesty, who else would you rather me?"

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Listening to your words is really better than ten years of reading. Zhang has been taught a lesson. How will Brother Jifu take this path in the future? Zhang is really willing to wait and see, so I bid farewell!"

Lu Huiqing nodded after hearing this and personally escorted Zhang Yue out of the political hall. In the eyes of the court officials and outsiders, the two said goodbye like good friends.

Before leaving, Lu Huiqing said to Zhang Yue: "Duzhi, you and I only have political opinions, but it does not hinder personal relations. If Lu cannot continue on this road in the future, it is time for you to come and do it."

.”

"But if I see with my own eyes that all these years of hard work have been changed by you, it would be better for Lu to die!"

Zhang Yue said: "Brother Jifu, what are you talking about? Didn't you just change the exemption law? If this day comes, you and I will discuss the issue of "national affairs" together. "

Lu Huiqing smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this day may not come to an end."

The two bowed to each other and then said goodbye.

At this moment, in the palace, the emperor, who was feeling a little chilly, looked at Li Xian, who had just returned to Beijing from Xihe to report on his duties, and said: "You will slowly tell me about Xihe's affairs in the future."

"There must be something fishy about the fire in the Third Division. The first thing you have to do after returning to Beijing is to lead the Imperial City Division to investigate the matter."

"I want to take down the real culprit!"

"promise!"

Li Xian agreed immediately.

PS: Historically, the fire of the Third Division's Accounting Department occurred before the establishment of the Accounting Department of the Third Division. Some people suspect that the New Party deliberately planned this fire, completely abolished the power of the Third Division, and changed a group of people from top to bottom, so that the financial department

From then on, the power belonged to Zhongshu.
