Faced with Cai Que's invitation, Lu Huiqing was a little hesitant: "This..."

Seeing this, Cai Que was anxious and instigating Lu Huiqing was his first priority. In the letter Ouyang Bian gave him, Lu Huiqing was a person who had to instigate him. If he could not instigate Lu Huiqing, his achievements would be half less.

For Cai Que, he was actually very anxious. There were fewer and fewer important positions in Daxia. If he did not make enough achievements, it would have a great impact on his work after he went to Daxia.

"Brother Lu, what are you hesitating about?"

Cai Que looked at Lu Huiqing and asked.

Lu Huiqing sighed and said, "After all, Lu is deeply favored by the emperor..."

Cai Que smiled and said, "Brother Lu, what we have received is not the emperor's kindness, but the people's fat and ointment. The so-called emperor's kindness is not the Zhao family who brought the people's fat and ointment to themselves.

Who among us is not changing for the sake of the Song Dynasty at the risk of being ruined? But what will be the final outcome?

Wang Xianggong was forced to retire, Ji Mo was exiled to the border. Even Brother Lu, how long have you been on the bench? And your same age were wasting time in the Qingshui Yamen? Do you think these are all the reasons why Zeng Bu?"

Lu Huiqing remained silent. Although Zeng Bu was hateful, everyone just tacitly understood what role Zhao Xu played in it.

Why did Ouyang Bian pretend to die and escape to Xixia? Isn’t it completely despair and can’t see hope, so I can only choose to go to Xixia to risk his life to seize power.

Ouyang Bian was right. The scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty no longer had the will to move forward. They even said that they had become completely vested interests, not only would not seek change, but would even become obstacles to progress.

In fact, this time the Song and Xia war has already explained everything.

Under Ouyang Bian's leadership, the Western Xia Dynasty was unstoppable, destroying the Western and Northern Army of the Song Dynasty, swallowing the six routes of Shaanxi alive and peeling. What was the Song Dynasty court doing?

The Song Dynasty court did not save the nation and was still using the market law to exploit merchants. The national treasury was filled with copper coins robbed. From the minor officials below to Zhao Xu himself, they were all filled with oil. However, no one dared to stand up and say that they would resist to the death when the Western Xia invaded.

And what are they doing now?

Preparing to bring a large amount of assets to Hangzhou!

When Cai Que saw Lu Huiqing's dim expression, he knew that this person had been shaken and quickly added another fire.

"Ji Mo said that China is not the China of the Song Dynasty, nor the Song Dynasty is the Song Dynasty of the Zhao family. This world is not the world of one family and one family, but the world of millions of people in the world.

China has been divided for a long time, and the three countries have conquered each other, and countless casualties have been killed or injured. They have been bullied by small countries such as Dali, Tubo tribes, and Uighurs, and are no longer as powerful as the Han and Tang dynasties.

The descendants of our sages should end this chaotic situation, just like the Qin State ending the Warring States Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty ending the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Rebellion, we should rise up and end the chaotic period since the Five Dynasties, just like the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, establishing a towering China.

Brother Lu still remembers what Ji Mo said, establish a mind for the heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, inherit the unique knowledge for the past sages, and bring peace to the ages!"

Lu Huiqing was shocked.

"Set up your mind for heaven and earth, establish your destiny for the living and the people, carry forward the unique knowledge for the past sages, and bring peace to the ages..."

What an inspiring words!

Lu Huiqing remembered the energetic Ouyang Bian and the same energetic self.

During the Xining period, Ouyang Bian was the first to establish the Three Divisions Regulation Department. At that time, everyone was full of the spirit of changing everything, and was also full of hope.

At that time, under the leadership of Ouyang Bian, the implementation of good laws such as clearing the land, tax reform, equal-to-date export law, and Qingmiao loan made the farmers in the world stand up a little.

What did those people do after Ouyang Bian was forced to leave?

The merger of land became more and more serious, and the results of tax reform were also embezzled. Various harsh and miscellaneous taxes once again grew like spring bamboo shoots after the rain. Qingmiao Loan was also collected by government officials in various places, becoming a tool for government officials to harvest the people's wealth. Not to mention the current market law, it is simply a provision to turn the government into a legal robbery!

Lu Huiqing's depression was not only due to being marginalized, but was related to the invasion of the achievements of previous reforms. Most of the previous changes were also related to the destruction of political rebellion.

He even had a question for a moment that what they did really make sense?

Thinking about it now, the energetic self seemed to be just a teenager's spirit.

However, at this time, another light seemed to appear.

This light was also his light before.

And this light now seems to have turned into a rising sun.

Establish your mind for the heaven and earth, establish your destiny for the living and the people, carry forward your unique knowledge for the past sages, and bring peace to the ages!

This sound roared in Lu Huiqing's ears like a yellow bell.

Lu Huiqing was in pain.

This pain exists when he changes and appears deeper when he cannot change.

This is the pain of smart people, or those who are willing to take the responsibility of the times on themselves.

Foolish people, numb people, only pay attention to their own people, they will not feel this pain. Only smart people who open their eyes and see the world, see the distortion of society, the corruption of the country, and the burial will collapse but cannot do anything will feel the heart-wrenching pain.

The smarter you are and the more sober you are, the more painful you are.

He buried himself in the classics and visited the world of knowledge, and temporarily forgot the pain, but once he returned to reality, this pain would follow him like a shadow.

The more painful and desperate a person is, he will truly feel like he is attracted by a sun when he sees what Ouyang Bian said and what he does!

Ouyang Bian had no success in the Song Dynasty, so he decisively went to Xixia, fighting against the Liang family, allowing Li Bingchang to abdicate. Now, he actually defeated the Song Dynasty and truly implemented strategies to benefit the people in the Western Xia and the six routes of Shaanxi. Such a move of unity of knowledge and action is more convincing than anything else.

No wonder Su Che's talent, Zhang Dun's talent, Wang Shao's wit, the overall situation of friendship, and many talented people in the same year, all followed him. Even Cai Que, who was cunning and powerful in front of him, was impressed by him. What a charm?

Lu Huiqing was silent for a long time before saying, "Cai Zhongcheng, you are the chief censor, and you will definitely be the magistrate in the future. Why are you willing to be driven by Ji Mo?"

Cai Que laughed.

"Brother Lu, you should have the answer yourself. Look, Su Che, Zhang Dun, Wang Shao, Zheng Yong, Liang Tao, Lin Xi, Zhang Qi, Wu Juhou... Tsk tsk, these people are not the prime minister, but these people resolutely followed Ji Mo to the border as early as the Xining period. What do you think?

Or do you think I, Cai Que, is insidious and treacherous, and acts by any means, so you should not have ideals, should not pity the people, and should not work hard to restore the might of the Han and Tang dynasties in China?"

Lu Huiqing's face became vivid, from sudden enlightenment to guilty and expectation gradually emerged, and his complex expression made Cai Que feel that he had only seen him in his life.

However, Cai Que knew in his heart that this trip had been completed!

"call!"

Lu Huiqing let out a long breath, the haze between his eyebrows and eyes completely disappeared, his eyes also became sharp, and a vibrant atmosphere rejuvenated on him.

Cai Que felt that the old man in front of him had silver threads hidden in his hair, and in a trance he looked like a young man with high spirits.

Lu Huiqing looked at Cai Que with sharp eyes and said softly: "Tell me, what is the first priority now?"

Cai Que was overjoyed: "Brother Lu, you..."

Lu Huiqing said decisively: "Stop talking nonsense, talk about things."

Cai Que quickly said: "What Ji Mo is worried about is the affairs of officials. There are very few officials in Xixia, and a large number of officials are needed to govern the prefectures and counties. My status is not good, and I have to rely on Brother Lu."

Lu Huiqing nodded: "I understand, I can just leave it to me now."

Cai Que quickly said, "I'll help."

Lu Huiqing looked at Cai Que with a smile.

Cai Que smiled and said with a little bitterness: "Brother Lu still can't believe me."

Lu Huiqing smiled slightly: "This matter is of great importance. If I give you the list of people, I will be irresponsible for them. Don't worry, this credit is ours, but who should we find and who will be on the list, and I really can't give it to you."

Cai Que nodded, and he knew in his heart that it was normal for Lu Huiqing to believe him, and this matter was indeed important. If Cai Que came to use a plan and took the list and handed it over to Zeng Bu or Zhao Xu, then Ouyang Bian's people would be wiped out by then, and the risk would be too great.

However, Cai Que also admired Lu Huiqing's decisive killing. After the decision, he immediately devoted himself to it and did not look back at all. The key is that he is still so cautious in his actions. No wonder he was the one who had served as the magistrate!

Sure enough, none of the people Ouyang Bian values ​​are vegetarians.

Since Lu Huiqing had agreed, Cai Que would not stay much, and he still had a lot of things to do. Bianjing City has now become a mess, just when he was taking advantage of the situation.

Lu Huiqing did not see Cai Que off, sat upright in the living room, frowned and thought for a long time, but his son Lu Yuan did not notice even when he came in.

"Father……"

Lu Yuan called out softly.

"Huh?" Lu Huiqing looked up at his son.

Lu Yuan looked around and said, "Father, where is Cai Zhongcheng?"

Lu Huiqing said: "I've left."

"Ah, I've left."

Lu Yuan was a little disappointed.

When Lu Huiqing saw his son's expression, he didn't know what it meant, but he always felt guilty towards Lu Yuan, so he said warmly: "When you arrive in Jiangnan, I will find Cai Zhongcheng and ask you for an official position."

Lu Yuan said in surprise: "Really, father?"

Lu Huiqing smiled and nodded: "Well, I didn't ask for an official position for you before because I was afraid that you would be implicated by me. Now it's okay. You study hard and will naturally make arrangements for you after you go to Jiangnan together."

Lu Yuan was overjoyed.
Chapter completed!
