Song Chi raised his head and said with a smile: "You are my father. As a son, how can I ask for anything in return for helping him?"
Hearing this, Song Shiwen was slightly startled. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but when he looked at Song Chi's white teeth showing when he smiled, he felt a chill all over his body!
He actually said I was his father?
Song Shiwen looked dazed as he recalled the scene at the Ning'an Prefecture Inn earlier when Song Chi threatened to sever ties with him. How true was what he said now?
Song Shiwen really couldn't understand his son.
To be servile and take advantage of each other.
The atmosphere in the other place was much better. Lu Taiyuan was wearing a simple gray robe and smiling like the old grandfather of the Lin family.
Sixty-five years old was considered old in ancient times. He looked old with white hair, but he was in very good spirits.
He is the leader of the Qingliu Party and Song Shiwen's biggest opponent.
The origin of the feud between the two can be traced back to the ascension of Emperor Yuan Jing to the throne. In Song Chi's view, it is still an ideological dispute.
Teacher Lu Taiyuan is the former Prime Minister Wang Jin. Wang Jin was the real head of the civil servants at that time. He used the righteousness of the civil servants to compete for power with the emperor, but in fact he wanted to gain more power.
At this time, Song Shiwen emerged, and until now he is still called the shame of literati.
In fact, it was Song Shiwen who betrayed the civil service group in order to gain power.
Later, Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty used Song Shiwen to important positions, which divided the originally united civil officials. The chief minister Wang Jin was later purged and his property was confiscated by Song Shiwen.
After that, Song Shiwen gradually rose to a high position and gained more power. He claimed to be the leader of literati and gradually eliminated the remaining forces of Wang Jin.
At the same time, Lu Taiyuan inherited the mantle of his teacher Wang Jin, which was the origin of the Qingliu Party.
The two sides have been fighting openly and secretly. As the prime minister of the dynasty, Song Shiwen is in a high position of power and the Qingliu Party is under great pressure. Now Lu Taiyuan has become completely close to Prince Qing and is placing his bets on him.
If Prince Qing eventually succeeded to the throne and became emperor, he, as an assistant minister, would naturally be victorious.
This old man, who has been silent for many years and often cannot even raise his head in the cabinet, now has sharp fangs, making Song Shiwen feel difficult.
He can be anything, but he is definitely not a clear stream.
Qingliu is just his label, the personality he has established.
Lu Taiyuan said kindly, "I've heard of your great name for a long time. Seeing you today, I realize you're so young. You really have a bright future!"
"It's all thanks to Lord Lu's support." Song Chi was humble and polite.
“What a pity.”
Lu Taiyuan sighed, "I originally thought Feng Yuan was your teacher. If that were true, you could call me Master. But Feng Yuan said in his letter that you two are not just teachers, but good friends."
"It's Lord Feng who gave me this favor."
"No."
Lu Taiyuan shook his head and said, "Feng Yuan once wrote to me that he was not qualified to be your teacher. At first I thought it was false, but now it seems to be true."
"A person whose brain is damaged by reading too much will probably not achieve much."
It can be heard that Lu Taiyuan is very dissatisfied with Feng Yuan.
When the Han family got into trouble, Feng Yuan, the magistrate of Ji County, had the opportunity to win more benefits for the Qingliu Party, but he insisted on his original intention and insisted on serving the people and missed the opportunity.
"Don't take it personally when I say this. I'm sure you know something about this."
Lu Taiyuan sighed deeply.
"Serving the people is not an easy task. The prerequisite for realizing your ideals and ambitions is that you can make decisions. Although you are young, you are calm and measured, and you should understand these principles."
Song Chi remained silent, feeling contempt in his heart.
It sounds high-sounding, but isn't it all for yourself?
He truly serves the people and always puts them first. But now it seems that this Deputy Prime Minister is birds of a feather as is Song Shiwen.
"Song Chi, I have high hopes for you!"
Lu Taiyuan exclaimed in admiration, "You've revitalized the struggling Donglin Academy. Thirty-six of them passed the provincial examination. My Qingliu Party hasn't had this many talented people in a long time!"
His tone was obviously filled with joy.
Only he himself knows how hard it is for the Qingliu Party to be suppressed.
All the talents are monopolized by the Literary Party, and there is a lack of successors. If he had not been forced into a desperate situation, he would never have participated in the fight for the throne and done such a risky thing.
But there is no way now.
At this time, Song Chi emerged, and the Qingliu Party was about to rise!
Lu Taiyuan stroked his beard and looked at Song Chi.
He had finished speaking, and Song Chi knew that he was going to express his stance.
"Thanks to Lord Lu's care, Song Chi will definitely follow your orders!"
He bowed and saluted with a humble attitude.
Lu Taiyuan nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "I am already old, and the future will be ruled by you young people."
"I know Song Shiwen once wanted to kill you. If it weren't for the female commander's care, you would have died long ago. Do you know what to do?"
Song Chi said calmly: "If the Wen Party is not destroyed, the Great Zhou will not prosper!"
"Well said!"
Lu Taiyuan was excited.
"As expected of a genius poet, what you said is truly brilliant. Tomorrow I will arrange for someone to spread this message!"
As a veteran official, he knows best the importance of slogans.
Song Chi is the leader of the younger generation of literati and has many admirers, which is something the Qingliu Party lacks, so naturally they have to promote him.
Moreover, Song Chi is also his important chess piece to deal with Song Shiwen!
The confrontation between father and son is interesting.
Lu Taiyuan stroked his beard and became more and more satisfied with Song Chi.
This old guy probably knows his true life experience, and he is stirring up hatred towards Song Shiwen with his words. So it seems that arranging for Lord Feng to go to Ji County was also a deliberate act?
This old guy!
Song Chi had a blank expression on his face. You're using me? Am I not also using you?
