The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 77 Lu Yuan's Choice

(Please bookmark, please recommend tickets! Thank you book friend Wu Nian Shangchen for your reward~)

There is no right or wrong in the officialdom, only pros and cons.

Lu Yuan was a protégé of Liu Ji, the former chief assistant. After Liu Ji became an official, Lu Yuan lost his backer.

A few days ago, he and the proctor Chen Fangyin traveled to Cuihu Lake together. Naturally, it was not as simple as reuniting with old friends in the same year.He wanted to get in touch with nobles in the capital through Chen Fangyin, so as to further his career.But Chen Fangyin just laughed and never mentioned this matter.There are only two choices before Lu Yuan, one is to bear the bitter wind and rain alone, and the other is to find a new backer right away.

Shouning Bo Zhang Heling is obviously a good choice.

This gentleman is the younger brother of Empress Zhang, who inherited the title at a young age. It seems that he is quite interested in political affairs.

At present, the son of heaven only dotes on Queen Zhang, almost to the point of obeying her.If this development continues, Zhang Heling may not have the opportunity to follow the example of Wan An, the chief assistant of the former dynasty, by flattering the harem.Moreover, Zhang Heling has an innate advantage over Wan An, that is, he is the younger brother of Empress Zhang. How can there be any reason why the older sister does not help the younger brother?
Mr. Liu Ge has fallen, so Lu Yuan naturally wants to leave a way out for himself.Right now, Zhang Heling is not considered to be a prominent official, and Lu Yuan can still occupy an important position in Zhang Heling's heart if he joins him at this moment.

It's just that it requires sincerity to take refuge in allegiance, and Lu Yuan has never known how to express his heart.

What Qiao Zhen said today gave him an idea.

The case of Lu Zhongjing involved in the salt transportation has involved many interested parties, which is normal.However, "Shou Ning Bo" Zhang Heling stood up at this time, which surprised Lu Yuan a little.From this point of view, the reason His Majesty ordered Jin Yiwei to investigate the case was because the empress had heard the wind, and the empress naturally couldn't stand the soft words of Shou Ningbo's younger brother.

Jin Yiwei has never been reasonable in handling cases, they only need to be responsible to the emperor.Therefore, the emperor's attitude towards this case directly affects the outcome of Jin Yiwei's handling of the case.

This point can not be changed even by Commander Mou Binmou.

Judging from what Qiao Zhen just said, His Majesty seems to want to appease Empress Zhang and Shou Ningbo, so it is necessary to vindicate the salt envoy Lu Zhongjing.

Since there is redress, there will inevitably be punishment.As the No. 1 letter to impeach Lu Zhongjing, Governor Liu De is naturally the target of punishment.As for the remaining chief envoys, His Majesty, the official of the procuratorate, also knew that he was just sympathizing with Liu De, so he could naturally turn a blind eye.

So, just now, Qiao Zhen was implying that he stood up and took a superficial attitude and participated in Liu De's book?
The governor's yamen and the Sansi yamen are both in the Hangzhou mansion, and Lu Yuan and the governor Liu De also don't look up and look down.If this book does not defeat Liu De, Lu Yuan's life will be a bit sad, so he is quite hesitant.

Seeing this, Qiao Zhen sneered and said, "Master Xue, the right chief envoy, has agreed to submit a letter to play Liu De. Isn't Lu Jietai still relieved?"

For the sake of Qiao Zhen's words, Lu Yuan felt reassured.What he is most afraid of is that he will play alone, so that all the attention of civil and military officials in the court will be focused on him.But if Xue Zheng, the right minister, took the lead in this matter, his pressure would be much less.

Qiao Zhen seemed to be well prepared this time, and he had already persuaded the chief envoy Xue Zheng to come forward to impeach Liu De.

However, Lu Yuan was still a little worried. He cupped his hands at Qiao Zhen and said, "May I ask what Commander Mou means by this matter?"

Qiao shook his teacup, and said coldly: "What does your majesty mean, what does the commander mean? Does Qiao understand Lu Jietai when he said that?"

Since Mou Bin became the commander of Jinyiwei, he has won the appreciation of the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty with his loyalty.This gentleman is an upright person, although he is in charge of such an institution as Jinyiwei, which is notorious, but he does not abuse his power, and even treats officials who are ordered to prison with courtesy.His Majesty also has great trust in Mu Bin and often listens to his opinions.

But no matter how good Mu Bin is, he can't replace the emperor's will. As long as the emperor orders Liu De to be arrested, Mu Bin will execute it without hesitation.

But now the Son of Heaven has obviously been persuaded by Zhang's family, and he is going to take the governor Liu De under his knife.

Fortunately, today's son is benevolent and does not kill ministers indiscriminately.Even if Liu De falls, he will not be killed, at most he will be dismissed and exiled.

With such an excellent opportunity in front of him, Lu Yuan was naturally moved.

If this matter can be used to please Shou Ning Bo, he will have a backer behind him.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Mou is willing to write a memorial to Liu De."

Qiao Zhen curled his lips, and said with a half-smile: "Then Lu Jietai will have to do it sooner. I am afraid that the memorial of Mr. Xue, the chief envoy, is already on his way to the capital. When the memorial of Master Xue and Lu Jietai arrives at the capital, submit the confession Your Majesty Yulan, our Beizhen Fusi is also good at picking people up."

Jinyiwei, especially the Fanzina people of Beizhen Fusi, did not need to go through any judicial procedures of Ming Dynasty.

Although Lu Yuan had heard about Jin Yiwei's arrogance for a long time, he still felt a little shudder when he heard Qiao Zhen say it himself.

"Lu Mou will write it now, and send someone four hundred miles to the capital to rush it to the capital after it is finished. Qiao Zongqi is still satisfied."

Qiao Zhen nodded and said: "Lu Jietai is a sensible person. When Qiao returns to the capital, I can introduce him to Uncle Shou Ning."

This is what Lu Yuan really wanted to hear. He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and saluted Qiao Zhen: "I don't want to thank you for your kindness. Mr. Qiao's kindness has been written down by Mr. Lu."

"You literati like these imaginary things. You are all doing things for His Majesty, so why not thank you."

Qiao Zhen got up with a flick of his sleeves and said, "Since Mr. Lu wants to write a memorial, Qiao will stop bothering me and leave!"

Lu Yuan wanted to say something else, but Qiao Zhen had already walked out of the study with square steps.

Wang Shouwen was eating dried fruit snacks in the corridor, and the joy of being on the list in the college examination had long since disappeared.

Seeing that Xie Shen closed his eyes and remained silent, looking like a king who was in front of the Taishan collapse, Wang Shouwen finally couldn't help but said: "Brother Shenxian, why are you so at ease. If the person here is really Jin Yiwei, they are in the mansion After staying for so long, nothing will happen to Uncle Lu."

The Lu family and the Wang family are family friends, so Wang Shouwen's reaction is not surprising.

Xie Shen opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "If Lord Lu really violated the law of the country, would it take so long for Jin Yiwei to come to arrest him? I don't think Jin Yiwei came to Lu's residence to arrest someone, but more like Let's discuss something important."

Hearing this, Wang Shouwen felt a little relieved.The moment he raised his head and looked out the window, a group of Jinyi guards in flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives stepped past, frightening him to stand on the spot, his face pale.
