When Su Lu learned about the court's arrangements for the "Shishou Shu", he felt that something was wrong.

Especially after knowing that Ouyang Xiu was preparing to recommend Su Shi and Su Che, his little heart was leaping.

Theoretically, no reforms should have begun during this period, so why did Wang Anshi be appreciated by the emperor when he was in his thirties?

This timeline is wrong!

Now his cousin is going to participate in the New Fali. Do you have to cultivate Dongpo’s farming in advance?

It's going to be messy!

When he heard the news that Song Qi recommended Su Buyi, Su Lu was even more panicked: How can so many people in the Su family participate in the program well? Could it be that the Su family members dominate the list?

Su Lu ran to Ouyang Xiu to talk about his worries and told them not to catch the Su family.

Ouyang Xiu said leisurely: "I remember your second brother also worked in the local area..."

Su Lu refused wildly: "No, no, what does this look like when it is spread? You can't take our old Su family in one fell swoop!"

Ouyang Xiu laughed. After he finished laughing, he said, "How many people want such an opportunity but don't come. You still look down on me. Come and pick on me!"

Su Lu also knew that he was a little ignorant of raising his tribute, but he could not put the eggs in a basket. If all the eggs in their family were smashed into them, who would be responsible for catching them in the future? He sighed and said, "I heard that 'The wood is so beautiful that the wind will destroy it'. All of our old Su family are talents. They will definitely shine and heat when they are placed in any position. Anyway, there are opportunities, how can they take up all such good opportunities?"

Ouyang Xiu said: "Okay, the court has its own arrangements. How old are you? It's not your turn to worry about these things."

Su Lu was afraid of paying his remaining second brother, so he hurriedly escaped.

These people who play politics are not good people, so they have to stay away from them if they have nothing to do.

Su Lu was worried about his own brother and cousin, and another major event happened: Zhao Yunrang, the Prince of Runan, fell ill.

Zhao Yunrang was Zhao Zongshi's biological father and Zhao Zhongyan's biological grandfather. Such an important person fell ill. Empress Cao was not good enough to keep Zhao Zhongyan more, so she had to ask Zhao Zhongyan to take the imperial physician to the residence of the Prince of Runan County.

When Zhao Yun asked to leave, Zishan Hall naturally couldn't open. Wang Rong and Su Lu were outsiders after all, so it was difficult to enter and exit the palace at will.

Wang Rong is almost old and just goes to the Imperial College to study in the imperial examination to prepare for the imperial examination.

Su Lu suddenly became an out of school child.

Su Lu was ecstatic.

There is such a good thing!

Of course, the good brother's grandfather was seriously ill, so Su Lu couldn't put the surprise on the surface.

On the day Zhao Zhongyan returned, Su Lu personally sent him and the imperial physicians out of the city, asking Zhao Zhongyan to fulfill his filial piety to his grandfather.

Zhao Zhongliang didn't feel much in his heart.

The experiences between Zhao Yunrang and Zhao Zongshi and his son were very similar, because after Zhao Zongshi was sent back to the palace, he deliberately treated their family with extravagance so that Zhao Zhen could feel at ease.

In this case, Zhao Zhongyan could receive very little care from his grandfather.

If it weren't for the blood relationship, Zhao Yunrang would be no different from a stranger to Zhao Zhongyan.

However, Zhao Zhongyan has a soft temperament. Even if a strange old man falls ill in front of him, he will take care of him diligently. Therefore, even if Su Lu doesn't remind him, he will take good care of the seriously ill Zhao Yunrang.

Just because he wanted to leave his friends who he spent day and night, Zhao Zhongyan was still reluctant to leave. He couldn't help but say, "We're leaving here, and I don't know when we will meet. Don't forget me."

Su Lu nodded repeatedly: "It must be certain."

These guys were so stingy when they parted. Su Lu was already used to it now, but he just wanted him to speak like Zhao Zhongzhen, and there was no way!

Zhao Zhong saw Su Lu's heartless appearance and was a little silent. He did not stay any longer, bid farewell to Su Lu and Wang Rong, and set off on the way home with the imperial physician.

Su Lu watched Zhao Zhongzhen and his group go away, looked up at the lonely trees beside the passage, and looked at the sky with dark clouds, and felt a little sad.

At this time, people were sick, and they might have been sleeping for several years, or they might have been there in just a few days, but they just don’t know what Zhao Yunrang was like.

Su Lu and Wang Yun walked back along the Imperial Street, and suddenly saw a group of women walking out of the palace gate. They looked at each other with different expressions, some cried, some smiled, and there were imperial guards escorting around them. I don’t know what happened.

Su Lu curiously stepped forward to ask about his familiar imperial guards.

The other party recognized Su Lu and told Su Lu readily that these were all palace servants who had just released the palace. Some families in the city could go back directly, while some families outside had to escort them out of the city and let them go back to their respective houses.

There are not only palace maids here, but also concubines of different ranks.

Su Lu knew that he was not good at asking about these things about the palace, so he didn't ask any more questions. He said goodbye to the imperial guards and Wang Rong, and walked home with Vajra.

Zhao Yunrang was seriously ill.

Zhao Zhen sent the palace servants.

These two things seem to have no connection, but are closely related to the matter of establishing a crown prince.

If Zhao Yun lets this father die, Zhao Zhenli’s concerns will be much less. After all, if the prince’s father is still alive, he will have an accident in the future and he still doesn’t know what will happen!

As for the severance of the palace servant, it means that Zhao Zhen has no expectations for his biological children.

Zhao Zhen was also pitiful. He was chased by his ministers when he was in his twenties and adopted Zhao Zongshi from the royal family as the preparatory crown prince. Later, he had his own children, but he watched him die prematurely one after another, and only raised a few daughters.

Now Zhao Zhen is only fifty years old, and he is already disheartened and is ready to choose the crown prince directly from the royal family according to the wishes of all officials.

Look at the old ministers such as Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, and Song Qi. Those who are not old enough to be stronger. The children are still jumping out one after another when they are in their fifties and sixties.

It’s really a personal fate.

All signs show that Zhao Zongshi's reserve position is probably stable.

Su Lu thought about the words he heard from Zhao Zhongzhen and couldn't help but sigh.

According to Zhao Zhongzhen, the person who is active in the crown prince is his mother Gao. Zhao Zongshi doesn't even want to show his face, and he is afraid he is not so happy to be the crown prince.

Of course, if Zhao Zong really had an ambitious temperament, Zhao Zhen would not be relieved, and Han Qi and the others would not be relieved.

This matter has no solution.

Seeing Su Lu's face full of sorrow, King Kong asked with concern: "What's wrong with Xiao Langjun?"

Su Lu talked nonsense: "The weather is cold again. When I think of so many people in the world who have to survive this winter with hunger and coldness, I feel sad. I want to do something for them, but I just regret that I am too young!"

Vajra shut up her mouth.

Just now, he clearly felt that Su Lu was worried, but these words of concern for the country and the people came out of Su Lu's mouth, and it felt completely changed!

Su Lu muttered again: "I don't know what delicious food Yunniang made for me at noon, let's go quickly."

Seeing that Su Lu had recovered as usual, King Kong didn't say anything more and speeded up according to Su Lu's intentions.

Su Lu, a child out of school, returned home and had a big meal, and finally lost most of his worries about the future. He was worried that the sky would fall and there was a high one to hold him up. He had seen most of the great people of this era, never shaking his legs, and never felt afraid.

In the evening, Su Huan came back from outside, and Su Lu told him about seeing Zhao Zhongzhen off.

Since Zhao Zhongzhen has left, his Zishantang accompanying study has ended. According to his age, he is not suitable to enter the Imperial College now!

Su Lu carefully tempted: "Do you think I'm resting?"

Su Huan ruthlessly rejected: "What are the beautiful things you want?"

Su Lu said, "But I have no place to go to school. Look at me, whether it's big or small, I have to squeeze into the Imperial College. Others will say that you are favoritism and abuse of power. Why don't you let me study by myself for two years first!"

Su Huan has been thinking about this these days.

First of all, it is definitely not possible to let Su Lu grow freely. This kid can do a lot of things if he wants to go to school. How can he let him run away outside?

Secondly, Su Lu said it makes sense. There is a threshold for admission to the Imperial College. Su Lu is not very suitable for his age unless he finds a way to force him into it.

Su Huan said: "You stay at home first, I will discuss with your father-in-law and the others."

Su Lu turned his eyes and nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would stay obediently.

When Su Huan saw his appearance, he knew what the hell was Su Lu was making. He was too lazy to think about his son's ideas and waved his hand to let him play with him.

Su Lu was used to being driven away and had no embarrassment at all. He left Su Huan's study and walked towards his yard as the moonlight.

After walking a while, Su Lu ordered King Kong: "Tomorrow you go out of the city to inquire and see if there are any such dilapidated academy. There is no need to be too famous or too big. The most important thing is poverty. Then I invest in them. Don't worry about what investment is, maybe donate a few teaching buildings or something." Su Lu finished his or her oral instructions and emphasized his request to King Kong, "Anyway, you can find a dilapidated academy for me, and tell me immediately after finding it."

Vajra should be as it is.

The next day, King Kong went out to inquire about the situation of the major academies around Kaifeng Prefecture.

Others seeking academies for big and famous people, but Su Lu wants to find young and poor people. King Kong is a little confused, but he still does it honestly.

Anyway, according to previous experience, no matter how absurd the things Su Lu ordered, the final result would not be much worse.

Most of the time, Su Lu made a fortune.

King Kong is very efficient. Even if Su Lu’s request is so weird, he still found a college. The academy is located near the Jinshui River and is named directly, so it is called Jinshui Academy.

Lao Shan Nagamoto, who established this academy, was also a well-educated person, so it attracted many people to study a few years ago.

Unfortunately, after the old Shanchang died of illness, his son was an ignorant and he was determined to make money from the academy. His face was very ugly, which made the academy notorious now.

Seeing that his brother had ruined his father's reputation, Liang Huaibi, the current mountain chief who was the second, could not bear it and summoned the clan elders and the academy masters to expel the brother and took the lead!

It’s a pity that a good wife can’t cook without rice. Even though this Liang Shanzhu wanted to start the academy again, he still couldn’t even pay the salary of the Masters.

In this case, it would be strange if everyone could teach with peace of mind.

Those who stay in the academy are basically guys who have no other skills and can only stay in the academy to make a living.

Many people are still thinking that since Liangshan has no money for long hair, they will not be allowed to sell the academy to pay off their debts. Then they will buy some land and houses at a low price!

It is precisely because many people have such thoughts that the academy can barely survive!
