Lu Dynasty

Chapter 165 Interrogation
Take Xu's mother all the way to Luoyang.To be honest, this time was really rewarding. I thought I was just here to play and make up for the regret of traveling, but I didn't expect to meet Xu Shu.To be honest, I don’t think about the Eight Dragons of the Xun family anymore. As far as my attitude towards the aristocratic family and the emperor is concerned, I never thought that they would be loyal to me. As for the idealist Xun Yu, I’d better let my lovely brother Meng De worry about it. .

In fact, Xu's mother and Taishi's loving mother are not very old, and they would not look very old if they hadn't worked hard.Even in modern times, many rural women in their thirties seem to be as old as their 50s. It is really hard for them to raise children, especially those poor families who have given birth to a lot of children.Xu's mother put down the hard life and the burden of supporting Xu Shu and Xu Kang brothers alone, and immediately became more youthful and active, chatting non-stop with the three daughters in the carriage.Although she was still putting on airs, she was much better than when she was at home. Xu Shu's younger brother Xu Kang's eyes were straightened.Xu Kang said: "Since my father died, I have never seen my mother so happy. Thank you Brother Lu!"

I laughed and said, "It's not my fault. You should be more filial to your mother. It's not that your mother can't be happy, but the pressure of life and worrying about your brothers are what made her so depressed! By the way, your brother went on a study tour." , what are you going to do?"

Xu Kang said: "I was taught to read and write by my mother, and I want to continue to learn!"

I smiled and said, "In Chang'an Waiwubao, I adopted many orphans and asked someone to arrange tutors to teach them. How about you go to Wupu's school during the day and go back to your mother to guide you at night?"

Xu Kang said: "This is not good, we are already bothering Brother Lu very much."

"I also hope that Yuan Zhi's younger brother can become a talent! Wouldn't I have another helper in the future? Well, if your mother agrees, that's the decision! However, after you go, you have to study hard and don't lose your mother. And your brother's face, you know? And Xi Zhicai often goes to that school to give lectures, if possible, learn more about people's livelihood governance from him!" I said.

"A talent for opera? Could it be that the great talent of Yingchuan Academy and Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao are friends of opera Zhicai?" Xu Kang asked.

"Oh, you also know Xi Zhicai!" I laughed.

Xu Kang said: "Which of the great talents in Yingchuan Academy is not the pride that Yingchuan people are familiar with! The first to bear the brunt is the eight dragons of the Xun family, then Chen Qun, Guo Jia, and finally Xi Zhicai!"

I shook my head and said, "Actually, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are the outstanding figures in Yingchuan Academy. Among the eight dragons of the Xun family, Xun Yu and Xun You's uncle and nephew are the only ones who can really compare to them! These four talents are the real Anbang People who are talented in governing the country, others are just talkers, maybe they have talent, but if they are not in the Xun family, they will not be able to get ahead at all!" In fact, the eight dragons of the Xun family refer to their attainments in Confucian classics , rather than the ability to govern the country and the art of war strategy.

In addition to self-cultivation and self-cultivation, Confucian classics, in my opinion, are useless things.If it is said that teaching the people to be good, Confucianism is a good thing, but if it restrains the development of science, or even uses it to fool the people, it is a big mistake!Some people say: half of the "Analects of Confucius" governing the world is pure nonsense. How many people's livelihood issues are involved in governing the world, which can be covered by an "Analects of Confucius". Crimes can be avoided only by personal morality. Everyone has become a saint!
Chatting all the way and going all the way, when I came to the gate of Luoyang, I found out who was surrounded by a large number of people.Strangely, I walked forward and found that the group of people belonged to the He Jin Party, and there was a man standing in the middle who seemed very upright and majestic.So I stepped forward and asked, "This gentleman seems to have an extraordinary bearing. I don't know what position he holds in the court? Why have I never met him?"

In He Jin Yidang, except for He Jin, other people basically regard me as Zhang Rang Yidang, so no one gives me good looks, and I don't need to act according to their faces. These people are just peripheral roles .The majestic man in the middle glanced at me and said: "I really can't stand the eunuch's power, so I want to resign and go home, but my colleagues are persuading me endlessly. I don't know what you can teach me when I go forward?"

I looked at the majestic man, and I really didn't have such a person in my impression. He was probably a petty official, but his demeanor didn't look like those of those fly-on-the-wall dogs.You must know that all high-ranking officials have to ask the ten permanent servants to pay. For a really good official, who has spare money to pay the ten permanent servants, so they can only get seniority.Qualifications are such a thing, how can you get there without 30 or [-] years?
A man next to him said to the majestic man: "Don't pay attention to him, he is the lackey of Shi Changshi, Lu Feng and Lu Baxian! If you have money and wine, you will send them to Zhang Rang first. I heard that if it wasn't for Zhang Rang It's a eunuch, he can give his wife to Zhang Rang!"

It's okay to say me, dare to say Yan'er!The person I punched in the past is looking for teeth all over the floor, and it seems that the venting has been less recently!I spat on him and said, "It's fine to say me, but you dare to speak ill of my Yan'er, you're courting death! It's a lie to be my general!"

The majestic man looked at me and said in a deep voice: "He is also an official of the court after all, sir, it is wrong to do this! "Mr. has also heard what this person said!good!It is a fact that I bribed the ten servants, I do not deny it!Everyone here, especially those who are high-ranking and noble-minded, who dares to stand up and say that when he got the official position, he didn't give a confession to the Ten Permanent Attendants! I glanced at the crowd, and all the officials lowered their heads, and I continued: "Let's talk about the fact that I took refuge in Shi Changshi, isn't it forced by you so-called generals and aristocratic families?"When I first came to Luoyang, I wanted to make friends with you, but how did you treat me!You don't have to pay too much money, but what dirty things have you done?I just want to do some business in Luoyang, but after all your pressure and extortion, my people had no choice but to join Shi Changshi!Zhang Rang and others take money to do things without prejudice. It can be said that Zhang Rang is at least more reputable than you big families! "

"But... But that eunuch is an eunuch who is ruining the country and disrupting the power after all! It is wrong to sell officials and nobles! You just can't do it with them!" said one of He Jin's subordinates.

I shook my head and said, "Originally I was a businessman. What does it have to do with me to sell officials and ranks? I don't want to be an official, and I don't want to have a rank. I just want to do my business well! I was lucky enough to be favored by Lord Cai Yong." , I was able to get married with Miss Cai, and it was you bastards, especially that Wang Yun, who insisted on my divorce! I had no choice but to find a way! Is it my fault!" I looked at the majestic man, if he can't give To be fair, he is just a person like Yuan Shao, who is nothing more than gold and jade.

Know that beating court officials is also illegal! "

The majestic man looked at me and said, "You really can't blame your husband for this matter! But since you are an official, you shouldn't be with Shi Changshi anymore!"

After listening to the majestic man's words, I smiled and said, "I think the gentleman has an extraordinary bearing. I don't know what to call him?"
