The cool breeze in midsummer shakes the bamboo leaves.
Lu Sen shook his head and said: "A court that only wants to negotiate peace, a position of chief official in name only, what am I going to do? Are you angry? Are you taking the blame?"
"What is the meaning of taking the blame?" Su Shi asked curiously.
"It is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period, there was a man named Gui, who often had affairs with other beautiful wives. One day, when her husband came home early, the man was shocked when he heard the noise. I broke my leg." Lu Sen made up a random story, but the meaning is almost enough anyway: "The husband heard the noise, saw the nobleman lying on the ground, and then looked at the disheveled wife in the inner room. After hesitating for a while, he took the initiative to put The scapegoat on the stove was blamed on him, saying that he looked weird and frightened the nobleman, causing the latter to be injured, so he asked him to punish him. Afterwards, the nobleman pretended that nothing happened, and the days continued as usual."
Su Shi subconsciously leaned back: "The original meaning of this word is so outrageous?"
Lu Sen smiled, he said nonsense, of course it has to be outrageous.
"That's right, we must not let us take the blame for things caused by the imperial court." Su Shi sighed. He was originally very interested in negotiating with the Xixia people on behalf of the imperial court, but now after Lu Sen reminded him, he knew it was just a 'peace talk' After that, I didn't have much interest, let alone what Lu Sen said about the meaning of the phrase "take the scapegoat": "Thinking about it, it seems that it would be better to have the nobles in the court."
Lu Sen smiled and clinked a glass with the other party: "So, why do you want to join in the fun"
He has always believed that the inertia of history is difficult to change. Even if there are some partial historical differences, the general trend is still the same as the original history. The main reason is that his own "change strength" is not enough.
After all, he doesn't think he is a man born from heaven, who can change the inner nature of a nation in just a few years.
But Lu Sen still underestimated himself after all.
He really cannot change a nation, but he can subtly change the minds of some big shots.
At this time, Zhongshumen was also discussing matters in the official office.
Grand Master Pang sat on the main seat, and Bao Zheng sat on the side.
On the shoulders of both of them, there is a small spirit beast lying on its stomach.
Bao Zheng looked at the crowd and said: "Although there is still some time before the peace talks with the Xixia people, the candidate for the chief officer must be selected in advance. And this time, we don't want to just talk about peace."
What was the previous agreement?
Keep a low voice and have to pay the annual tribute.
This year is estimated to be similar, and it is not that they have not won in the past, but every time they negotiate peace, Da Song has to lose money to others.
I don't know, I thought Da Song lost.
Listening to Bao Zheng's words, everyone present was surprised.
At this time, in addition to Bao Zheng, Pang Taishi, Ouyang Xiu, Fu Bi and other important ministers in Zhongshumen, there were also a group of young officials with more potential such as Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing.
Almost all of these young officials were standing, except for Wang Anshi, who had a seat.
So Lu Huiqing occasionally glanced at Wang Anshi, with vague dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Ouyang Xiu frowned, and asked: "Xi Ren means, in the name of peace talks, continue to fight?"
"Indeed." Bao Zheng nodded and said, "This is a rare opportunity to wipe out Xixia's confidant trouble in one fell swoop. Now that the weather is warm, we can march north. This is the right time; the Khitan in the north is divided into two parts, fighting endlessly, and there is no time to take care of it. Let me wait, this is the favorable location; last year¡¯s grain harvest was bumper, nearly three times the output of the previous year, and there was a surge in shipping taxes. Now the treasury is full and the people have a surplus. There may not be another chance like this.¡±
Everyone discussed with each other, and they all felt that what Bao Zheng said was quite reasonable.
Fu Bi stroked his beard, pondered for a while, and asked: "Mr. Bao, but there is a problem. Who should we send to be the chief officer of the peace talks? If we really want to do something, who can control the military officer. If we really defeat the After entering Xixia, the leader of the army will definitely increase his prestige greatly, and there is no guarantee that the incident of Chen Qiao back then will not happen!"
"Therefore, the chief officer of this peace negotiation must have the strength to control the military attache. Especially the courage to control General Di."
Ouyang Xiu thought for a while and said, "Then let me go."
Ouyang Xiu is indeed qualified to be the chief official of the peace negotiation.
But Taishi Pang, who was on the main seat, shook his head and said: "Uncle Yong, you are proficient in internal affairs, and you are really good at governing the local area, but you are still not good enough when it comes to going to the battlefield."
"Then I only have the right to supervise, and I don't have to do General Di's military strategy."
&Zhao's. "
"The Chai family wouldn't think so." Lu Sen smiled.
Uncle Cao Guo felt his forehead hurt from listening to it, and he tried to wink at his sister. Did he know that this man in front of him doesn't care what kind of noble person you are, if you dare to talk nonsense, he will dare to scold you.
Empress Dowager Cao was also depressed. After staying in the harem for a long time, she was habitually "defiant", because Zhao Zhen usually has a very good personality. Coax her.
This gave her the illusion that everyone should follow her. Even if she was 'admonished' by civil officials in the court, she hadn't learned much.
Empress Dowager Cao took a deep breath, and finally understood why the entire court found it difficult to deal with Lu Sen.
This opening is directly hitting people's hearts, who can stand it.
Reluctantly suppressing her uncomfortable and irritable mood, Empress Dowager Cao said again: "I heard that Master Lu spread flat peaches widely in Hangzhou to give people longevity. Is it true?"
Although Nanshan will not intend to disclose this matter, but people talk too much, after all, paper can't hold fire, they are not surprised to hear the news.
What's more, the king of Runan County and Grand Master Pang both got a flat peach, so they couldn't hide it even if they wanted to.
Lu Sen smiled and nodded: "Indeed."
"How can a mere merchant get such a great favor from heaven." Empress Cao said a little unhappily: "Realist Lu has a fetish, but he doesn't give it to the real emperor's family. Isn't this a little not knowing the real person?"
Her meaning is very clear, why merchants can get good things, but she, as the empress dowager, has none.
Logically speaking, if there are any good things, Lu Sen will either not give them to others, and if he wants to give them away, he must first send some to the palace as tributes.
Lu Sen chuckled and said, "Even if the Empress Dowager Cao speaks bluntly, then I will make it clear. The flat peach is mine, and I can give it to whoever I like. Besides, I don't give it away, but exchange itSea merchants In my opinion, exchanging a large number of gemstones for a few years of life is a fair deal."
"If I want a few gems, how many gems do I need?"
"Since the Empress Dowager has already inquired about the specific information, let's settle at the public price." Lu Sen took a sip of his tea and said openly, "I will not take advantage of the Empress Dowager."
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Cao's pretty face was distorted: "Don't take advantage of me? What I mean is, can it be a little cheaper?"
It is true that there are many treasures in the inner vault of the Imperial Palace of the Northern Song Dynasty, but there are very few precious stones.
Because for the royal family, things like gems are not very popular, and the real valuable things are all kinds of precious medicinal materials and beautiful jade!
However, Lu Sen only needs gems, even if all the gems in the palace are collected, it is not enough to exchange for a flat peach.
Lu Sen thought for a while and said, "Then let's get 10% off."
Empress Dowager Cao took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said, "Can you give it a discount, I want to exchange for three! From now on, there must be a place for you, Master Lu, in the court?"
Is this woman a fool? Lu Sen turned his head to look at Uncle Cao Guo next to him, and asked with his eyes.
Uncle Cao Guo smiled bitterly helplessly.
In fact Empress Dowager Cao is considered 'good', she is not a vicious person, and she does not have a reputation for being harsh in the harem.
Be regarded as a normal woman with an ordinary moral bottom line.
It's just that she is a little 'perseverant' in terms of appearance.
In fact, if it were any other woman, sitting in her position, she might not be able to do it more calmly or better than her.
?Because women's attachments to appearance, youth, and youth are always much greater than men's.
The Empress Dowager Cao understood Lu Sen's eyes, she stood up abruptly, and said angrily: "Master Lu, we Ming people don't talk dark words, I am sure to get flat peaches, and you must supply me with at least two peaches every year, otherwise "
"Queen Mother, please think twice!" Uncle Cao jumped up in fright, blocking what his sister was going to say next.
Lu Sen asked curiously, "What else?"
"Otherwise" Empress Dowager Cao was also stunned, she really didn't know what she could do with Lu Sen.
Killing the Nine Clans? Just kidding, wanting to kill an important official in the court for no reason, without the consent of Zhongshu's disciples, it would be a strange thing that her imperial decree could get out of the palace.
It is even more impossible to threaten Lu Sen and order his own connections to exclude and deal with Lu Sen.
Lu Sen is now the sweet bun in the hearts of all officials in the entire capital. Who doesn't expect to get fairy fruit and jade bee jelly from Lu Sen, if they can get flat peaches and longevity, that would be even better.
I was afraid that this person would turn his back on the news as soon as he heard that he was going to deal with Lu Sen.
"How are you going to give me the flat peaches?" Empress Dowager Cao asked through gritted teeth.?Okay.
I was afraid that this person would turn his back on the news as soon as he heard that he was going to deal with Lu Sen.
"How will you treat me so that I can give you a flat peach?" Empress Dowager Cao gritted her teeth and asked. - Didn't finish reading?
