6. Lu Jingyu refused to accept bribes

Lu Zhen has been procrastinating.

That Tian Xu's tooth general Liu Zhan has been in Chang'an City for a long time with horses and gifts worth 100,000 yuan, just to bribe Lu Zhen and bring the beloved inscription back to the town as soon as possible.

But Lu Zhen had a lot of reasons, sometimes he went to visit friends, sometimes he went to the palace on duty, and sometimes he was sick and closed his door, so Liu Zhan waited for a long time in the Beijing Division, and he didn't even see half a word of ink, and he couldn't give out bribes at all.

In fact, during this time, Lu Zhen's heart was also full of pain and contradictions.

He knew that as long as he put pen to paper to write this bereavement monument, not to mention anything else, after Li Baozhen's death, Tian Xu would not raise troops nine times out of ten, and the situation in the east of the imperial court would be much more stable.

This is good for the country.

But let him write a monument of love to Wei Bo Tian Chenghei, this remnant of Anshi, this chaotic minister and thief, this bastard who can still get a good death for the creatures in the world, Lu Zhen's conscience is not equivalent to being thrown into the oil pot and fried, "Wei Bo will not die well sooner or later, and the Tian family will be stinking for 10,000 years, and it will be written in the history at that time, I, Lu Zhen of Wu County, have written a monument of love for Tian Chenghei, and I have also accepted Wei Bo's bribe, I, I will also be stinking for 10,000 years, and it will stink for 10,000 years!" ”

Lu Yi finally chose stubborn soft resistance.

In the face of the emperor's inquiry, Lu Zhen said frankly: "Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know how to write this inscription. ”

The emperor understood what Lu Jiu meant, so he knocked on the side, "The court is in charge of the central government, Du Huangshang, Gao Yue, Dong Jin and other bad word articles, and the scholars of the Hanlin Academy are not qualified enough, only you are a big hand, and the mere bereaved monument is just a small test, don't push back." ”

Lu Zhen said with a straight face: "What is embarrassing for the minister is whether this inscription should be written according to the truth, or should it be disguised as false beauty?" ”

The emperor's face was displeased, "The inscription is written for the deceased, and it is human nature to have some beauty." ”

"If it is written, the minister is afraid that Wei Bo is unbearable; If it is vain and beautiful, how can the minister reinvigorate the dynasty and hear the truth for His Majesty in the future? ”

The emperor is completely ...... He saw that there were no outsiders in the entire hall, so he directly singled out: "Who in this world has not received bribes from Fang Zhen or Fang Yue?" Lu Jiu, do you think Jia Tan is not, Du Huangshang is not? The senior in high school, the senior I trust the most, he is not a pure minister, and he has not stopped giving and accepting bribes, not to mention any lieutenants, I myself often get his service. Yes, that's right, I do want one or two pure ministers and Zheng ministers to decorate the courtyard, but if you govern the world side by side, I only look at the power and not the subtleties, and I can't hold the subtleties. Lu Jiu, you have been my private since you moved to Fengtian, and at that time, as a bachelor, you pursued honesty, it didn't matter; But now that you are the ruler of the court, if you don't accept this and that, the relationship with Fang Zhen will be stiff, and the militaristic politics will be blocked. ”

"Your Majesty, the entertainment of the ears and eyes, the benefits of bribery, and the common feelings of people, which one has no greed for this? In the mansion, the minister often feels that the house is too old and the house is too narrow, but the minister thinks that every time he has such an idea, he can still restrain himself in the future. When the ancestor was alive, he said to his ministers many times, since you have received great favors and your corpse has stolen a great position, you should be more cautious and strive to cultivate integrity. The minister came for the minister, and he always asked himself if he had done to guide the wind and religion and make the world pure? Have you reduced forced labor and helped the poor in the world? No, no, every time the minister thinks of this, and remembers the words of the ancestors, it is really ashamed, if you don't do a good job at this time, open the bribery door, what kind of face does it have to assist Your Majesty......"

"Lu Jiu ......"

"Your Majesty, the ministers, and even the handsome Fang Yue are the pillars of the imperial court, if they have to bribe each other to promote sincerity, then the whole country will take appeasement as a matter and deviate from the right path. At the beginning, His Majesty said to the ministers who were still on duty in the Hanlin Academy, big bribes should not be accepted, but small things like whips and boots would not hurt them, otherwise it would hurt the heart of the giver, but what the ministers thought was that today they received the whip boots-like fine things, tomorrow they will be clothes, tomorrow they will be clothes, tomorrow will be the coin silk, they will receive the coin silk, tomorrow will be the car court, tomorrow will be the car, tomorrow will be the gold - as the so-called bribery road is opened, the development will be very good, the trickle will not stop, the stream will become a disaster, and some people actually use the saying of 'bribes and empathy' to confuse Your Majesty, and the ministers are really puzzled. Please also ask Your Majesty to adopt the words of the minister, that is-don't be too cautious, don't take petty greed as useless! ”

On the contrary, the emperor was speechless, and his face was red.

After a pause, the emperor used the smug skill of diverting the topic, "If Lu Jiu is unwilling to accept Wei Bo's bribe, it is okay for me to come forward and push it away, but I still hope that you can put pen to paper." ”

At this time, Lu Zhen also made his attitude clear to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, the inscription is the final conclusion on the coffin of the deceased, the so-called way of exhortation, loyalty and righteousness take precedence; Praise and disapproval, "Spring and Autumn" is important. A good inscription is by no means a hidden evil, but to let the rule-abiding people respect the classics and dare not exceed them, and the traitors can be afraid of the clear discussion and know the shame. Therefore, Zhong Nixiu is afraid of the Spring and Autumn Period and the rebellious ministers and thieves, who is Tian Chenghe? Obstructing the army and committing crimes, doing all kinds of evil, but such a person, actually escaped the punishment of heaven, and returned to the land with his whole body, which is exactly what the country and loyal ministers and righteous people are angry about, and now his son actually wants the court to sing praises for his merits and virtues, and write a monument of love, and the minister really has no words, so he can only delay and delay. ”

The emperor was stunned for a long time, and then said a long sentence: "Now is not the time to destroy Wei Bo, it is the country that needs the tranquility of Kanto, go all out to recover Helong, connect the northwest court of Anxi, and let Lu Jiu write a memorial monument to paralyze Wei Bo Town?" I've married off my sister. ”

Lu Zhen's face was also embarrassed and excited, he knew that the emperor's words were very heavy, but he still couldn't soften his body.

At this time, the emperor let out a long howl, and could no longer suppress his feelings, he raised his hand and said excitedly in the hall: "I am not talented, I have always had a bad fate, first lost my mother, and then lost my queen, and only a few ministers relied on." I asked myself to do my best for state affairs, but the family affairs were all unsmooth, first Lingxu failed to marry Gao Yue, and then Deyang Yuan married Saiwai, and became a widow in less than half a year, Princess Jiacheng married Wei Bo Tiger and Wolf State, and served Tian Xu, and the future is unpredictable. Yes, who told them to be born into the family of the emperor? I can bear all this, I just want to be with you, Zhongxing I Tang, Lu Jiu, you are my private person, I promoted you step by step from the bachelor to the position of prime minister, and now I want you to write this monument of love, not that I want to whisper and beg for what Wei Bo, but for the sake of the overall trend of the whole country, as a courtier, can't you succumb to the edict a little and share my worries? ”

Lu Zhen burst into tears when he said this, and he was also in great pain, he lowered his body, his heart was like fire, and he could only say that he asked His Majesty to give the minister a few more days and think about it.

Eventually, the emperor turned around and waved his hand, motioning for Lu Zhen to step back.

At this time, the emperor felt that it would be good if Gao Yue wanted to be by his side......
