Chapter 30 Is Lu Blind? "please." Lu Wei raised his glass with a smile. His eyes swept across Jiang Qingzhi's table, but did not stop. Someone came to the palace the day before yesterday and brought instructions from Concubine Lu Jing: Don't neglect Mr. Jiang. This led to Lu Wei confining his daughter Lu Shan'er to her home, which in turn led to Lu Jin causing trouble for Jiang Qingzhi and causing him to be severely beaten. Lu Wei immediately made amends and invited Jiang Qingzhi to the banquet. That's enough. Those guests were either rich or noble. At first, they were quite curious about Jiang Qingzhi. But after seeing Lu Wei's indifferent attitude towards Jiang Qingzhi, they all knew that this Mr. Jiang was just a decoration. This is Concubine Lu’s attitude! As a favorite concubine, Concubine Lu must have known Emperor Jiajing's attitude towards this cousin.
Then, this upstart is at best a parasite. So no one paid any attention to Jiang Qingzhi anymore. Jiang Qingzhi was just enjoying the food and wine. After tasting them one by one, Jiang Qingzhi felt that they were indeed delicious. The rich and powerful can tolerate everything else except the good cook. Otherwise, if they invite guests and the guests are not satisfied with the food and drink, they will lose face. It seems that I have to find a new cook for my family. Jiang Qingzhi took a sip of wine, looked at the high-spirited Lu Wei, and pondered the relationship between this man and Guozuo. As the uncle of King Jing Zhu Zaizhen, Lu Wei naturally had an extraordinary status. In history, King Jing has always been the biggest threat to King Yu Zhu Zaigui. He was also the favorite son of Emperor Jiajing. If there was no threat from King Jing, would Zhu Zaigui's situation have improved? Once the situation improves, will you intervene in the political situation early? Once Zhu Zaigui intervenes in the court affairs early, it will be an opportunity for Jiang Qingzhi to intervene in the court at a deeper level. Struggled all his life for the Ming Dynasty... Jiang Qingzhi felt that this was how his epitaph could be written. And there is Xia Yan. Fucheng got some information that Xia Yan was crying out for injustice in prison, saying that both he and Zeng Xin were framed. That old man! Too arrogant and doesn't even think about who Emperor Jiajing is. Extremely smart and extremely confident... What does extraordinary confidence mean? You can understand it as being stubborn and self-righteous. In history, the emperor Jiajing had favored ministers, such as Zhang Cong. Even if his reputation was bad and his actions were despicable, the emperor still favored him. And the more impeachments and criticisms there were, the more he favored him. This is my character, what's wrong with that?
Xia Yan's cry of injustice is a question of Emperor Jiajing's intelligence My Majesty! You have been deceived by Yan Song and his men. An extremely clever and self-willed emperor would deceive himself even if he was deceived. Satisfy your psychological need to be superior. Xia Yan didn’t understand, but Jiang Qingzhi did. Old Xia, if you continue like this, how can I save you? Jiang Qingzhi was thinking about it. "Mr. Jiang." The men whispered something to each other, and one of them stood up and came over. Jiang Qingzhi raised his eyes, and the man smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Jiang passed the imperial examination at the age of thirteen. I think he is very talented. Today happens to be the Lu family's wedding day. Maybe we will be blessed?" Come, write a poem! Is this a provocation? Jiang Qingzhi glanced at Lu Wei. Lu Wei looked a little surprised. But then he smiled and said, "Let's just drink and have fun today." The man smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, you don't know that I love poetry the most. I can't help myself when I see a great talent. If I can't get close to a great talent, I'm afraid I will toss and turn when I go back tonight." After knowing Jiang Qingzhi's identity, this person still dared to pester him, which shows his attitude towards Emperor Jiajing. Cousin, how many enemies do you have? According to historical records, Emperor Jiajing and his ministers used the great ceremonies as a stage for a contest that lasted for decades. The most famous of these was the Zuo Shunmen case. In that battle, the enemy was led by Yang Shen, the son of Yang Tinghe, the famous scholar who was also the famous scholar in the story of the Yangtze River. The young Emperor Jiajing fought almost alone. After ascending the throne, he begged the Queen Mother and the Prime Ministers for his father's reputation, bowed his head, bowed his head again, compromised, compromised again... But you guys aren't done yet, are you? Emperor Jiajing was furious, "Beat him!" Thus, the famous scene of the Ming Dynasty appeared. More than one hundred officials were arrested and beaten with sticks. The white butts lined up in rows are a spectacular sight. More than ten people died in court beatings, and countless others were exiled. Yang Shen was one of them, and was exiled to Yunnan. This is how the Yangtze River Flows Eastward came about. Most of the officials in the court are enemies. Most of the scholars and officials in the world are enemies. Once Emperor Jiajing passed away, Jiang Qingzhi felt that his fate would not be good.
There was more teasing in the man's eyes. Emperor Jiajing had enemies all over the world, but as an emperor he was naturally not afraid. At most he would be given a bad posthumous title after his death. But are his confidants afraid? Why did Lu Bing speak for those ministers with good reputations? Are you really full of passion? Not also! He is leaving a way out for himself! This, Dao Ye knows. Everybody knows it. The Taoist priest was sentimental and acquiesced. You, Jiang Qingzhi, have only become a new nobleman by virtue of your blood relationship, but Lu Bing is not only the milk brother of Emperor Jiajing, but also has the merit of saving the emperor. How can you compare? So, bow your head and write a poem. Let's just have fun. Lu Jin looked at Jiang Qingzhi from the other side and felt very happy. Jiang Qingzhi raised his glass and took a sip of wine. The man smiled reservedly. Then, Jiang Qingzhi filled his own glass with wine and poured it all over. The man's face was covered in alcohol. The whole room was shocked. Jiang Qingzhi said, "Are you qualified to write poetry for me?" Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the man felt humiliated and looked at Lu Wei, "Mr. Lu, if you don't give me an explanation today, then we'll see what happens." Lu Wei, who was in a dilemma, sighed, "Mr. Jiang, you..." At this time, a servant came in, walked to Lu Wei's side, leaned over and whispered in his ear. As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Qingzhi. After listening to this, Lu Wei smiled. Get up and walk over. "Mr. Jiang is a man of talent, I know that." The man looked at Lu Wei in disbelief, "Mr. Lu!" "Poetry, no need for that." Lu Wei said with a smile on his face: "I was busy today and forgot to get closer to Mr. Jiang. Come, let's have a few drinks together." This means inviting Jiang Qingzhi to sit next to him.
What the hell! Lu Wei, you are trying to slap me in the face! The man was furious. Jiang Qingzhi said calmly: "I've had enough wine and food." "Mr. Jiang, do you feel that I have neglected you?" Lu Wei said seriously, "Jin'er." Lu Jin came over, and Lu Wei pointed at him and said, "I know this bastard has offended Mr. Jiang, and today it happened in front of everyone. Come, bring the whip." This is to deal with Lu Jin in public. When Lu Jin thought of the time when he was whipped as a child, his face changed drastically, "Mr. Jiang, help me!" What the hell! This father and son pair are truly the best! Jiang Qingzhi didn't buy it, and stood up, "Thank you for your hospitality today." Lu Wei's trick had always worked, but unexpectedly it failed with Jiang Qingzhi. I'm careless! Lu Wei wished he could turn back time and treat Jiang Qingzhi as a guest of honor from the very beginning. He smiled bitterly, bowed, and knelt on the ground. This is not easy to do. People with weak waists will fall to the ground. This is also sincerity. Sincerity of apology. Lu Jin was worried that he would be punished later, so he quickly apologized again. Killing can only be done with a nod of the head. Jiang Qingzhi glanced at everyone and saw the shock on their faces. Who is Lu Wei? The elder brother of the favored concubine and the uncle of the favored prince. When has Lu Wei ever been so servile to anyone over the years? What happened? Before Jiang Qingzhi could speak, Lu Wei gave his son a look, and the father and son walked forward, carrying him on the left and right, and went to the main table. What the hell! You are the uncle of the prince and the elder brother of the favorite concubine. No one will say anything if you brag about being the king's uncle in private. But you actually want to lick a new upstart to such an extent? Does this person have any shame? Everyone was stunned.
Jiang Qingzhi was weak and was forced to sit next to Lu Wei. "I will drink three cups as punishment!" Lu Wei asked someone to bring a large wine glass, the kind that held half a pound of wine. After three glasses, Lu Wei's body swayed. Then he looked at the provocative man. "Brother Ma, please be patient." Brother Ma, who had just been splashed with wine by Jiang Qingzhi, sneered, "Today I want to see what punishment Lord Lu will give me." If it's not appropriate, we will become enemies. Lu Wei said calmly: "Brother Ma, are you questioning Mr. Jiang's poetic talent?" Brother Ma sneered, "Some people in Suzhou Prefecture say that Jiang Qingzhi is just a nerd." Shan'er also said so, but... Someone just came from the palace and brought Concubine Lu Jing's words and the poem. ——How could you not be close to such a talented person? Brother, are you blind? Lu, are you blind? This is what Concubine Lu Jing had someone convey. My daughter! You think such a talented person is a nerd. Are you blind? Lu Wei sighed in his heart. Immediately, he thought of his lukewarm attitude towards Jiang Qingzhi today, and he couldn't help but feel regretful. "I got a poem today, please appreciate it." Everyone put down their chopsticks and saw Lu Wei cough dryly. He chanted: "The moon is dark and the fishing lights are visible, a single firefly. The slight wind stirs the waves, scattering the stars across the river." There are some uneducated people among the rich and powerful, but most of them have been studying since childhood and have been taught by famous teachers. Even if they are mediocre in talent, they are superior in poetry appreciation. The lobby was quiet for a moment. "What a poem!" “Fresh and natural.” “It’s very immersive.” "This kind of charm and artistic conception have not been seen for many years." "This poem is the best in recent years. Who dares to disagree?" "May I ask, Mr. Lu, who wrote this poem?" "Yes! Who is this famous person? Do we know him?" "Mr. Lu, please don't keep us in suspense."
The most favorite thing for the rich and powerful is to make friends with celebrities. Making friends with celebrities is to gild their own reputation. We should all make friends with famous people who can write such poems. Lu Wei turned sideways. Jiang Qingzhi beside him looked at everyone calmly. Lu Wei pointed at him. "It was done by Mr. Jiang." …… There are four updates today, and the time is the same as yesterday. Please vote! (End of this chapter)
