Only then did Zhu Kui realize that he had said the wrong thing, and started to bully him. Unexpectedly, Ma Jun secretly remembered the name of Cao Cao and had some thoughts.
"Do you still remember the name of the young master of the Zhang family? Did the eldest young master say when he would return to Wu County?"
"Oh, it's the third son of the Zhang family, named Hong, Mr. Zigang. I heard that they are here to discuss the salt business and will stay for two days."
Zhang Hong, Zhang Zigang, one of the two Zhangs in Jiangdong. Zhu Kui's memory suddenly flashed into his memory. He was a counselor in the Eastern Wu Dynasty. Together with Zhang Zhao, they were collectively known as the "Two Zhangs". Sun Ce personally came to invite him when he conquered Jiangdong. Zhou Gongjin said that he was knowledgeable about the world and the world.
Talent.
Then Zhu Kui and Ma Jun said: "Master Ma, this is God's wish to promote the recruitment of peace, so by chance Mr. Lu is here, so we can save an extra trip to Wu County."
Ma Jun frowned, and Zhu Kui decided to visit Lu Xian tomorrow and meet Zhang Hong casually.
As the sun rises and the moon sets, in the Lu family courtyard, several figures are drinking and chatting.
Lu Xian is sitting at the main seat, with Zhang Hong on the left and Zhu Kui on the right. Zhang Hong is about thirty years old, wearing a small crown, a green silk shirt, and a thin and elegant face. The young master Lu on the main seat has a round face.
With his tall crown and yellow brocade clothes, he has the demeanor of the direct successor of the Lu family.
"So, what happened in Shijiu Lake is really that you water bandits killed each other." Lu Xian had a condescending tone, which was right, they and other wealthy families always looked down on mountain bandits.
Ma Jun didn't care about this, he was already used to it, not to mention that now he had to ask for help from others.
"That's why Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhang are laughing at these little fights in the arena."
"It's such a small fight. How about the thousands of people fighting in Shijiu Lake? Can it be considered a small fight? Now I want to seek refuge with the imperial court because I want to seek asylum." However, Zhang Hong on the side intervened, speaking against the bandits.
The hostility became even greater than that of Lu Xian. Then he turned to Zhu Kui and asked, "Has the storyteller already entered the Gaojiazhai?"
In fact, he had been paying attention to Zhang Hong, one of the two Zhangs from Jiangdong, since he entered the lobby of the other courtyard. Unexpectedly, he could see the purpose behind Gaojiazhai's recruitment at a glance, and scolded him face to face. It was indeed a historical achievement.
The wise men praised by Zhou Gong and Jin all have their own tax items.
"Third Young Master, please be careful. Although I have some dealings with Mr. Gao and the others, I have never fallen victim to bandits. One reason for this trip is to repay a favor. Second, Mr. Kaohsiung has a very benevolent reputation in the green forest and cannot bear the destruction of Gaojiazhai."
Third, Moling County is currently facing a huge crisis. It is the best policy to absorb the power of Gaojiazhai. This is where justice lies, for the sake of thousands of fellow villagers in Moling County."
It's a pity that Zhu Kui made up all the nonsense and revealed his true feelings. Zhang Hong just said "oh" and obviously didn't listen at all.
Lu Xian said again: "Then you are looking for me today because you hope that my Lu family can clear things up in front of the governor." Lu Xian emphasized the word "clear things up" in particular.
Ma Jun replied knowingly: "Of course I won't let Mr. Lu's work go in vain. As long as Mr. Lu agrees to help us, I, Gaojiazhai, will immediately offer 500,000 yuan to Mr. Lu, and then two million yuan to the Lu family as a reward.
As a reward, if things go well, we will also tell Mr. Lu a piece of news, that is, the exact location of Baihu Village."
"Does Kaohsiung know the exact location of Baihu Village?"
"We all know that Baihu Village is in Gusu Mountain, but we can't find the exact address. However, we and other Green Forest Villages are somewhat connected. Yan Baihu was able to plant a spy in Qinjiazhai, and I, Gaojiazhai, also know the exact location.
The location and the specific route into the mountain. Thinking about the huge wealth that Yan Baihu has accumulated in the past ten years by robbing here and there, sacking the county five times, Mr. Lu has no intention of doing this?"
Yan Baihu has always pursued a three-prong policy, kill them all, rob them all, and burn them all. This wealth is enough to cover the Lu family's five-year income. Lu Xian is lying if he says he is not tempted, but everything must be thought clearly and mentioned to the elders in the family.
Let's discuss...
"This matter has involved a certain Da Da from Mainland China. I will report to my father in Wu County as soon as possible tomorrow. How about I give you an answer within ten days?"
"Thank you Mr. Lu. I will stay in Zhulangjun for a while and wait for good news."
After talking about the business, the banquet can be officially started. Lu Xian once again mentioned that Wang Cheng should go to the Lu family to be the guard leader and gain a good reputation, which means to recruit talents. In the battle of Beigu Mountain, Wang Cheng and Zhu Kui revealed their generals.
Lu Xian had always wanted to take the two of them for his own use, but Zhu Kui was too powerful, so he had to settle for the next best thing. He invited banquets and gave gifts many times to show his closeness, but Zhu Kui never let go, and Wang Cheng had no intention of leaving, so he never gave up.
Of.
During the banquet, the four of them talked about poetry, classics and state affairs. In terms of poetry, Zhu Kui only had some Tang poetry and Song poetry that were not good enough to export, but he could talk about some classics from various schools. He was not Zhang Hong's rival, because Zhu Kui was very young.
Shang Qing did not laugh at him. But Ma Jun seemed to be more knowledgeable than Zhu Kui in this aspect. He could read all kinds of poems and talk about the classics and Taoism. Zhang Hong and Lu Xian were greatly changed. He could not imagine a
The knowledge of the water bandit leader was no less than theirs.
"Wen Xiaolangjun wrote a new story "The Biography of the Heroes of the Late Qin Dynasty" a few days ago. After listening to it in Piaoxiang Tower these two days, Hong has a question. Isn't he afraid of misleading the world by tampering with historical facts in this way?"
Zhang Hong's tone may seem flat, but he is secretly satirizing Zhu Kui for his inaction, tampering with history and sensationalizing, which is misleading the world and he is guilty.
"Mr. Zigang, have you ever heard such a saying? Reading can make you wise, and reading history can make your ambition clear. These stories contain the life experiences of many people, including emperors, soldiers, civilians, and other people's ways of doing things.
Can't learning from the way of doing things make people smart? Besides, the historical background of the book can be said to be only a small change in the trend, but the general trend has not changed. The ambitions mentioned in the book of the Marquis Zhang Liang and the Prime Minister Xiao He are not what everyone of our generation clearly aspires to.
Object?"
"You may be a little sensationalistic, but you can't bear the crime of misleading the world."
Zhu Kui is not someone who values reputation above all else, but if Zhang Hong misunderstands and spreads the word, it will be a stain on his career in the future, so he has to explain. This is the first person to put forward negative opinions on Zhu Kui's creation story.
, then Zhang Hong obviously wants to continue taking the exam to Zhu Kui.
"You are right, but what do you think of the current national affairs? Is there any sign of ZTE?"
Although the Eastern Han Dynasty was in its last years, no one would believe it if the state of Liu Han was about to end. If Zhu Kui dared to say that the state of Liu Han was about to end, Zhang Hong and Lu Xian would definitely turn against Zhang Hong and arrest him immediately, or execute him on the spot. Zhu Kui thought for a moment.
, since I can praise Liu Bang in the story, so what if I praise Liu Hong once.
"Now His Majesty has the ambition of Wenjing. When he first came to the throne, he quickly eliminated the rebellious general Dou Wu. In the north, Sanming was born in Liangzhou, and General Duan Jiong, who defeated the Qiang, defeated the rebel Qiang in the north. In the south, there was Qian Yangzhou
The governor Zang Min broke through Kuaiji and rebelled against Xu Yuan, and many magnificent statues appeared in the world, which can be said to be the hope of ZTE."
Zhu Kui's tongue trembled and he boasted, which made Zhang Hong and the others dizzy. If ordinary people really believed it, but they were all learned men, they didn't understand that the Han Dynasty was troubled internally and externally. Although Dou Wu, the foreign minister, died, it also made ten
With the rise of Chang Shi, there was also the disaster of party imprisonment. Duan Jiu massacred the Qiang people, which failed to stabilize the situation in Liangzhou. There were also Xianbei and Wuheng foreign tribes in the north.
Liu Hong's opening of a nude swimming pool was even more ridiculous. However, selling official positions and selling titles was not as denounced by these nobles as in history. After all, it was these noble families who had the money to buy offices, so upper-level politics was still in the hands of the nobles themselves.
What Zhang Hong wanted to ask most was Zhu Kui's opinion on the matter of party imprisonment. In his view, Zhu Kui was barely talented and learned, and he could be regarded as a scholar. Lifting party imprisonment is what the world's scholars are most concerned about now...
"What do you think about lifting the shackles of the party? Please give me your opinion."
The disaster of the Eastern Han Dynasty was due to the two attacks on scholars and imperial students during the reign of Emperors Huan and Ling. Foreign relatives and eunuchs alternately controlled the government, and the emperor was in name only. At the same time, he also controlled the power of selecting officials. At that time, there were rumors circulating among the people that mocked the official selection system.
A limerick: "When looking for talented people, they don't know how to read; when looking for filial piety and integrity, their fathers live apart; when they are poor, they are as white and turbid as mud, while high-ranking generals are as timid as chickens." It can be seen that the officials selected under the control of the eunuchs of the foreign relatives are all such mediocre characters.
The eunuchs of his foreign relatives presided over the government, and there were a large number of upright scholar-bureaucrats. The scholars retired to live in seclusion. Zhang Hong was dissatisfied with working with the eunuchs of his foreign relatives, so he was dismissed from office and returned home. Only then did he help the family take care of business. Although party members like Zhang Hong were dismissed from office
They were returned to their fields, imprisoned and not allowed to serve as officials, but they gained a social reputation that was more honorable than being an official, so the Zhang family would continue to accept them.
After Zhu Kui thought for a while, he changed his slightly playful demeanor and said seriously: "You kid, I hope you won't laugh."
"Ever since Emperor Heng, the princes have always believed that the cause of the party's imprisonment is the struggle for power and the struggle for interests. Therefore, they have been doing their best to suppress the eunuchs with foreign ministers, but the fact is exactly the opposite. No matter how many eunuchs we kill and how many eunuchs we eliminate,
Foreign Minister, there is still a new eunuch, Foreign Minister, who has returned to power."
"In fact, these are the emperor's balancing techniques. Your Majesty checks and balances the party members to balance the foreign ministers and internal ministers, and checks and balances the foreign ministers to balance the party members. The two must not be dominant. But now the party's control has begun to make the court unbalanced. If the disaster of the party's control is allowed to continue
If you go down, the big man will be in danger."
When Party members like Zhang Hong explain that the Party is threatening the country, it means that if there are no gentry in the world, the world will be in danger.
"The boy believes that only by reforming the political system and studying Confucian classics can we solve the problem of the Party's imprisonment."
Zhu Kui's novel remarks not only aroused Zhang Hong's appetite, but also made Lu Xian and Ma Jun's eyes brighten. They didn't expect that Zhu Kui, who was only eighteen years old, actually had a plan to untie the party.
