"How dare a small military official dare to disturb Tai Sui?"

At Xia Da Sima's residence, Lu Qiyue said angrily.

Lu Qiyue's son Lu Zang made some nonsense that confuses right and wrong. In fact, Lu Qiyue didn't believe it.

What is his son like? Lu Qiyue knows better than anyone else that because he is the only son in the family, he has been pampered since childhood, is arrogant and domineering, bullies men and dominates women, and does all kinds of evil.

This time, Lu Zang claimed to have made great achievements in quelling the chaos, but Lu Qiyue didn't believe it. He could charge into the battle and make military achievements?

The reason why Lu Qiyue secured this opportunity for Lu Zang to lead the troops to quell the rebellion was just to let him experience and gain some military merit, qualifications, etc. so that he could be promoted to him in the future.

Lu Qiyue didn't believe Lu Zang's nonsense, but he was still extremely angry. The reason was that he didn't look at the monk's face to look at the Buddha's face, or that beating a dog depends on the owner. Min Wuyan's move completely threw the Lu family's face to the ground.

Trampling on them at will, if this matter spreads, where will the Lu family's face be put? It will definitely damage the prestige of the Lu family.

Min Wuyan's military stick hit Lu Zang on the buttocks, but it actually hit Lu Qiyue's old face.

"Master, the mistress is here."

While Lu Qiyue was thinking about countermeasures, an old servant came in to report.

"Wuji? Let him in quickly." Lu Qiyue was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly ordered the old servant.

Hong Wuji was cunning and wise. After he became an official, he tried to figure out his superiors' intentions and advocated peace. He also reached a peace agreement with Yan, so he was quite favored. In a short period of time, he was promoted to the censor Zhongcheng of Xia Yushitai, in charge of supervising the court.

The hundred officials in charge of the affairs, such as the awarding of talismans and festivals, and the settlement of four hundred households.

Of course, Hong Wuji's rapid rise to prominence is also inseparable from the generous help of Lu Qiyue and his family.

Among Lu Qiyue's many sons-in-law, he is quite satisfied with Hong Wuji.

"Greetings to Mr. Taishan!" After Hong Wuji entered the inner room, he glanced at Lu Zang and said respectfully.

"A good son-in-law is exempt from courtesy." Hong Wuji treated the ceremony respectfully, which made Lu Qiyue quite satisfied. He nodded and asked, "How is Xiangzhi?"

"My son-in-law spoke rashly and offended my wife. Today I came here to apologize to Mr. Taishan!" Hong Wuji replied with a low eyebrow.

Lu Qiyue's daughter Lu Xiangzhi returned to her parents' home two days ago and cried, saying that Hong Wuji was unusually indifferent to her. Of course Lu Qiyue knew this.

"Hey, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite." Lu Qiyue sighed after hearing this: "Xiangzhi has been pampered since she was a child. My virtuous son-in-law hopes that I will take care of her a little more for my sake."

"I don't dare..." The old servant brought a felt mat. Hong Wuji had just knelt down and sat down. Hearing this, he quickly stood up and said solemnly: "Madam, she is gentle and kind, but the son-in-law was upset by something, so he neglected Madam.

,"

"Oh? What worries you?" Lu Qiyue asked after hearing this.

"State affairs, family affairs." Hong Wuji looked at Lu Zang again and replied.

"Family affairs? Why family affairs?" Lu Qiyue asked again after hearing this.

"Isn't it my brother's business?" Hong Wuji replied with a smile.

"What about Fang'er? So you know about it?" Lu Qiyue asked in surprise when he heard this.

When Lu Zang heard this, he looked at his brother-in-law in surprise.

"Everyone in the imperial court knows about Lu Zang's affairs," Hong Wuji replied.

"Min Wuyan, you bullied me too much and humiliated me too much!" Lu Qiyue said bitterly after hearing this.

Just as Lu Qiyue expected, the Lu family tree was in trouble, which attracted a lot of jealousy. At this time, Lu Zang was in trouble, and everyone was gloating about it. Looking at the Lu family's joke, some people might want to take advantage of this matter and make a big fuss.

"Lord Taishan, please calm down..." Hong Wuji knelt down again and said, "Min Wuyan, a military minister, has insulted an important minister of the dynasty. We must not let him get away with this matter."

Hong Wuji and Min Wuyan did have military feelings. He once joined the army for Min Wuyan. However, at this time and that time, Min Wuyan and Hong Wuji had different political views. One did not forget the Northern Expedition and regained his homeland, but the other only knew

The two of them gradually drifted apart, becoming strangers to each other, and Hong Wuji had a secret in his heart, so the two of them were basically on the same page.

"Okay, what's the clever idea for a good son-in-law?" Lu Qiyue was overjoyed when he heard this and asked.

Hong Wuji was the chief censor, in charge of supervising all affairs of the imperial court. He could just call a few censors and make up some excuses, and he could kill Min Wuyan.

"It's a big deal, let's put things to rest." Hong Wuji replied.

"It's a big deal, let's put things to rest?" Lu Qiyue asked in surprise when he heard this.

The injury on Lu Zang's butt has not healed yet. He has been lying on the ground. Hearing this, regardless of the pain in his butt, he stood up with both hands and pointed at Hong Wuji and cursed: "Hong Wuji, are you really gloating about others' misfortune?"

?My Lu family has suffered such shame and humiliation, and you actually want to settle the matter? Hong Wuji, without my Lu family, where would you be today? It’s okay if you don’t help, but you still want to make things worse? What kind of person is my third sister? Actually.

..”

"Shut up, stop talking nonsense!" Lu Qiyue scolded Lu Zang before he could finish.

Lu Qiyue knew that Hong Wuji had something to say later, and it was by no means a matter of making a big deal out of it.

After hearing this, Lu Zang had no choice but to retreat angrily and lie down on the ground like a toad.

"Min Wuyan has made great contributions to quelling the chaos this time. His Majesty has promoted him to the governor of Xiangfan, and the commander of Xiangfan's army and horses." Hong Wuji glanced at Lu Zang with disdain, and replied in a low voice: "Min Wuyan is getting the favor of the saint.

His subordinates are well-equipped soldiers and generals, so he cannot be touched at this time."

"Governor of Xiangfan? Who recommended him?" Lu Qiyue was immediately deflated when he heard this and asked dejectedly.

Hong Wuji shook his head slightly after hearing this.

The aristocratic families controlled the government. They had fiefdoms, and with fiefdoms they had money and food. With money and food, they had soldiers and horses. Emperor Xia Yang Liang would always promote some close ministers or generals in order to resist or prevent them. This still needs to be recommended by others.

Really? When it comes to recommendation, just look for any minister to recommend him. It’s just a formality. Yang Liang will definitely accept it without hesitation.

Therefore, at this moment, Xia Emperor Yang Liang's intention to promote Min Wuyan is self-evident.

"So, I need to swallow this matter?" Lu Qiyue then asked.

"At present, it seems that it is indeed necessary." Hong Wuji nodded and said: "A small impatience will ruin a big plan! Mr. Taishan, you can't bring him down with Lu Zang. Even if you can bring him down, you can't put him to death."

.Besides, if we take action at this time, Mr. Taishan will inevitably be suspicious of him. Therefore, we should make things more serious at this time and calm down the matter. This will not only show the generosity of the Lu family, but also not offend our superiors."

"Brother-in-law, what about my revenge...? Is this beating in vain? The humiliation of my Lu family..." Lu Zang asked.

"No!" Hong Wuji glanced at Lu Zang and said calmly: "When wild beasts hunt their prey, they always hide in the dark first, while the prey is in the light."

"Haha, what the wise son-in-law said makes sense, and this is the perfect strategy!" Lu Qiyue laughed and nodded in approval after hearing this.

Although Lu Qiyue nodded and laughed, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

.....................

"My lord, please take a seat!"

Lu Qiyue respectfully invited Taizhong doctor Huo Yao into the mansion.

Lu Qiyue's official title was much higher than that of Huo Yao, but he did not dare to neglect Huo Yao. The reason was that the Huo family was a powerful family in Wu County, Jiangdong, with huge power and deep roots in Jiangdong.

Lu Qiyue listened to Hong Wuji's words, tolerated it for the time being, pretended to be magnanimous, announced that Lu Zang would be confined at home for three months, and comforted Min Wuyan with kind words, thus winning a lot of praise.

After Lu Qiyue's servants were busy together, the guests and hosts sat down. Lu Qiyue said to Huo Yao: "Has Mr. Lu heard anything about Quan Zifang?"

"Lü Zang?" Huo Yao was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "Some military disputes are insignificant. Your son is still so young, but he is a cavalry captain. He is also a young man who has achieved success. Haha, a young man has achieved success."

Huo Yao didn't know what Lu Qiyue meant, so he just answered casually.

"Haha, thank you for the compliment, Mr. Lu!" Lu Qiyue sighed after hearing this: "The dog is unruly and naughty. As a father, you should be kind and teach him, so Qi Yue plans to find a marriage for him. I don't know what the public will do?

"

Lu Qiyue, Lu Zang and his son have not been idle in these three months. Lu Qiyue is busy arranging marriage for Lu Zang, so that he can "take good care of himself".

In this world, noble clans often resort to marriage in order to conclude or consolidate alliances. The purpose of marriage is of course to make profits, gain status or economic benefits, or to maintain the family's reputation.

As the Lu family was a noble family, they naturally wanted to find someone who was well-matched, so they took a fancy to Lu Huo Wanrou, Huo Yao's legitimate daughter, and wanted to marry her.

Lu Huo Wanrou, Huo Yao's legitimate daughter, was extremely talented, intelligent, and beautiful. She was one of the four most talented women in Jiangnan and one of the ten beauties in Jiangnan. Lu Qiyue and his son had heard of her name for a long time.

Lu Zang is in his early twenties, and Lu Huo Wanrou is only twenty-eight years old. They are also about the same age.

Since they have the same family background, the right family, and the same age, the marriage will naturally fall into place, at least that's what Lu Qiyue and his son think.

According to the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, the matchmaker must first come to propose the marriage. However, they have given a greeting in advance and the heads of both families have some intention, so it will not appear too abrupt.

Therefore, after Lu Qiyue went to court, he directly invited Huo Yao to his mansion.

There is also a hint of Lu Qiyue feeling ashamed of himself. Who is Lu Zang? A well-known dandy in the capital, bohemian, but Lu Huo Wanrou is one of the four most talented women in the south of the Yangtze River and one of the top ten beauties in the south of the Yangtze River... Therefore, Lu Qiyue feels a little put down today.

Face, condescension and initiative to propose marriage.

After Xia Shi moved south, many northern gentry families followed Xia Shi to the south of the Yangtze River. The Lu family was one of them. At this time, the northern gentry families controlled the government and continued to suppress and squeeze out the Jiangnan gentry families. Therefore, Lu Qiyue took the initiative to propose marriage at this time.

, it can indeed be said to be condescending.
