"Like a man who builds his house based on Dao strategy, he will never fail and succeed." [The Book of Songs·Xiaoya·Xiaomin]
Yizhou, Yidu.
Mrs. Lu, who had always been calm and composed, lost her composure after hearing about the war at Yangping Pass. Her first question was about Zhang Lu's safety: "Is my son okay?"
"Mother." Zhang Lu's son Zhang Fu is still a few years old. He was also sent out by Zhang Lu on this trip. He followed Luo Yao to Xidu and said comfortingly: "Aweng had a message when he came, saying
Guancheng is strong and nothing happens in Hanzhong, so don’t worry."
Mrs. Lu stretched out her hand to hold her young grandson Zhang Fu in her arms, showing a loving look, and said with helplessness and emotion: "The situation is changing and the secrets are unpredictable. It's not your father that I'm worried about!"
Luo Yao came all the way from Hanzhong and kept thinking. It was not until he arrived in Xidu that he realized that he still had many things that he had not yet figured out. He looked at Mrs. Lu and said, "What is the reason why Liu Junlang moved to Xidu?"
Mrs. Lu had already sent someone to convey the news to Hanzhong. When Luo Yao mentioned it again, she couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't I tell you before? Liu Yan knew that he was old and ill and had no cure, so he wanted to leave his position to his son, so he wanted to
Take care of Liu Hao's posthumous affairs. If the wealthy people of Shu County are reunited, if he doesn't kill a group of them, how will his son show kindness in the future?"
This is a process that any qualified superior must go through when preparing for his successor's funeral. Mrs. Lu also used this "desire to advance first, suppress" when she handed over the power of five buckets of rice to her adult son.
Method. Therefore, in response to Liu Yan's eagerness to move back to the capital to shock the powerful, Mrs. Lu claimed that as someone who had experienced this and both were parents, she could still grasp the other's psychology very well.
Luo Yao was doubtful about this matter at the beginning, but now along the way, not only did he not see any action from Liu Yan, nor did he see any signs of fear among powerful people from all over the country, he actually expressed his support for Liu Yan's move to rule the country.
He walked back and forth in the same place, suddenly stopped and said: "Kill the powerful? Since Liu Yan moved to the capital at the end of last year, and now in March, has he ever used a sword or a soldier? I think there is probably something here.
Weird."
Mrs. Lu was at a loss for words and wanted to refute, but she didn't know where to start. In the past two years, Liu Yan had been obedient to her, so she had always thought that Liu Yan was an old fool and could be manipulated by her at will. How could she have expected that at the last moment, it turned out that
Ignoring the abnormality these days, she thought about it and said with some uncertainty: "Liu Yan has been lying on the bed since he called the capital, and it was very difficult for him to meet with the state officials all day long. I think he also has
His heart has no strength."
"Really?" Luo Yao sneered and said, "If he really has plans for Liu Hao, Liu Hao should handle the affairs of the state for him at this time and get in touch with officials and famous people, instead of staying in the mansion to study."
"What kind of ability Liu Hao is, even outsiders like us know it, how can Liu Yan not know it?" When Mrs. Lu thought of Liu Hao, who was frivolous and unrestrained, always claiming to be romantic and noble, even though she was a little flustered in her heart, she couldn't help but smile.
Zhu snorted disdainfully: "I think Liu Yan probably wants to help directly to the end and take care of everything for him. Liu Hao will just come out and take over when the time comes. It's a pity that Liu Yan looks like this now. I'm afraid he's full of food."
All the plans will become a fantasy."
Mrs. Lu is good at Taoist guidance. Although she is in her forties this year, she still has good looks and charm, and her every frown and smile carries a mature charm. Even though Luo Yao was calm, at this time
He couldn't help but be attracted by Mrs. Lu's subtle movements for a moment. He forgot all about what to say for a while, and finally came back to his senses. He had to cough dryly to cover up his embarrassment and said: "How is Liu Yan's illness?
Is he really unable to move?"
"Can this be false? The ulcers on his back are getting worse day by day. In the past, he could barely sit up and talk to people, or walk two steps with someone's support. Now he can no longer sit still or lie down, even if
Without me waiting, he wouldn't have been able to live for a few days." Mrs. Lu had a close relationship with Liu Yan, and sometimes she personally wiped Liu Yan's body. It could be said that she saw the shocking carbuncles on Liu Yan's back with her own eyes.
Luo Yao stood there and thought for a long time. Although there were still some unspeakable weirdnesses here, Mrs. Lu's explanations were almost all reasonable. After thinking about it, he could only think that he was worried too much.
Putting the matter behind him for the time being, he briefly explained the business, that is, the purpose of his visit to Mrs. Lu.
The plan had already been decided, and it was just a matter of informing Mrs. Lu and asking her to cooperate. Mrs. Lu also knew that the current situation could only simplify the process, so she nodded and said: "The method is good, but when will it start?"
Woolen cloth?"
Luo Yao's eyes seemed to be flashing with a faint light, and he smiled sinisterly: "The sooner, the better."
So the two of them discussed adding more doses to the medicine Liu Yan took every day, so as to avoid suspicion of sudden death and avoid leaving any traces.
This matter was left to Mrs. Lu. As for Luo Yao, he took the initiative to go to Bajun, saying that he wanted to inform those people in advance, Banzhen Man, so that they could prepare early. In order to win people's trust, Luo Yao also came from Lu before leaving.
Madam asked for a letter written by her. Madam Lu did not doubt that he was there. In her opinion, both parties were in the same boat at this time. There was no need to doubt each other and could only give trust.
"Mother." After Luo Yao left, Zhang Fu nestled in Mrs. Lu's arms. The words he just comforted Mrs. Lu were all taught by Zhang Lu word by word. At this time, no one else was around, so he listened to the inexplicable words for a long time.
They didn’t know what happened, but they only knew that someone came to beat them, so ww. then said innocently: “Someone wants to beat Aweng, why don’t we use immortal magic?”
Mrs. Lu opened her mouth, a little dumbfounded. She didn't know how to explain this complicated yet simple question to him, so she could only say vaguely: "Everything must follow the way of heaven. We cannot use anything that is not allowed by heaven's destiny."
"Oh." Zhang Fu responded obediently, and with a pair of clear eyes, he asked again: "Will fate be on our side?"
Mrs. Lu couldn't answer.
It's funny to say that she never thought that the Five Pecks of Rice Road led by her son was destiny.
Even the mighty Yellow Turban Uprising was suppressed by the Han court sending troops. People like Zhang Lu also saw clearly that the court was deadlocked, and they only dared to take advantage of the contradiction between the officials and the people to instigate the Yizhou barbarians to cause trouble.
So much so that when Liu Yan entered Shu, Mrs. Lu even defied all opinions and wisely chose to move closer to him, which Liu Yan readily accepted. From then on, Wu Dou Mi Dao began to clear his name and came ashore, turning from a rebel into a local official.
Before Luo Yao came, Mrs. Lu's idea was to use her appearance as a link between her son Zhang Lu and Liu Yan, so that Zhang Lu and Wu Dou Mi could safely take root in Hanzhong and Bajun, and inherit the teachings in Yizhou.
Let the Five Pecks of Rice be passed down forever. But after Luo Yao came, he somehow gave birth to Zhang Lu's ambition, and actually gave him the idea of enterprising the entire Yizhou.
Liu Yan was not unkind to her mother and son, and Mrs. Lu didn't want to be too unkind at first, but as a mother, she couldn't go against her son's wishes.
Now in the middle of the plan, the imperial court came without any warning. If anything happened, not only her Zhang family, but also the Five Dou Rice Road that their ancestors had run for generations would be wiped out.
What kind of destiny does such a fragile organization and force want to ask for?
