"It's a very early ......" Liu Tao was stunned for a second when he heard this. According to his memory, Zuo Feng, who was supposed to come around June, actually came over in mid to late May.

"It seems that we eliminated Zhang Bao in Xiaquyang, and the imperial court learned about it, so it came over to pay attention to it, and the progress on Guangzong's side ......" Lu Yan looked at Liu Tao with some confusion, "I didn't expect that it was Zuo Feng who was sent over, as my brother said." ”

Earlier, Liu Tao told him about this incident, saying that this was the most important turning point in Lu Zhi's life. Seriously, Lu Yan, a filial son, was a little worried after hearing about it. It hadn't happened yet, so I didn't have much of a feeling.

Seeing that the imperial court really sent someone over, and the one sent was really a yellow gate called Zuo Feng. Thinking of what his brother said, Lu Yan was really anxious.

"Do you remember what I told you before?" Liu Tao asked.

"Yes." Lu Yan nodded, "Brother said, Zuo Feng is just an insignificant little yellow door, this kind of person is the lowest level of existence in the palace, usually there is no oil and water, it is difficult to get out of the palace, then it must be to make a fortune back." ”

"Yes, this kind of person, in order to get a chance to leave the palace, even if it is to borrow money to bribe his superiors, he has to get this opportunity. Since it came out, there was naturally no possibility of returning empty-handed. Lu Yan nodded.

In the final analysis, it is to blackmail the front-line officials with the help of palace inspections. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, these officers are fighting on the front line, and they must have captured a lot, so naturally they have a lot of money, so if they don't extort some, I'm sorry for going out of the palace.

"The problem teacher was originally just a poor family, and it was not easy to get the recognition of the scholars. Whether it is a class position or his own position, he must not show a posture of submission to the eunuchs. Liu Tao analyzed.

On the issue of position, before setting out to crusade against Chu Yan, he had already talked to Lu Yan, and during this time, the latter was also reflecting on this dialogue and found that Liu Tao had a certain amount of truth. In fact, there is no right or wrong, only a difference in position.

Lu Zhi didn't have a choice, first of all, he was a scholar, and secondly, in order to earn fame, he really didn't make much money himself. In addition, he was originally from a poor family...... Let him bribe Zuo Feng, and there is no money to bribe......

If you have less money, you may be looked down upon. Rather than thankless, it is better to stiffen your neck and be thankless, anyway, even if you go to prison, this unyielding attitude can directly set a model for the scholars.

No, Huangfu Song's crusade against the Yellow Turban in Hebei ended, gave Liu Hong a step, and released Lu Zhi, returned to his official post, and continued to serve as Shangshu.

In this year, it is not stupid to hang the seal and leave, and living in seclusion in the mountains is not to look down on everything. A few months later, the imperial court personally sent people to invite them out of the mountain, and they were promoted, and finally took office with a 'embarrassed' face.

Such a statement, in the recent period, Liu Tao will say it from time to time, and Lu Yan feels that his long-term impression of officialdom seems to be about to collapse. I wanted to ask Lu Zhi, but I was worried that this stubborn old father would be angry.

discussed with Jian Yong in private, the latter was a poor family in itself, and he couldn't analyze anything. And after a long time, Lu Yan felt that this guy began to agree with Liu Tao's point of view......

"Since, according to what my brother said, even if you go to prison, you can still take your post in the government after the war, then ...... Just let it go. "Lu Yan doesn't have a good idea either.

"If I pay for my mentor privately, he will probably have to expel me from my mentorship, right?" Liu Tao thought for a moment.

"If my father found out afterwards, it would have been." Lu Yan thought about Lu Zhi's personality and nodded solemnly.

"However, if I don't do anything at all......" Liu Tao pointed to himself, "The teacher is going to prison, can I still watch the teacher go to prison and be indifferent?" At least let go of everything and accompany him to Luoyang. ”

The battle will definitely not be fought, and in terms of merit, leaving one's post without permission can be punished, and the previous merit is over. At most, in the scholar clan, there is a name for respecting teachers. In the end, with good luck, I went somewhere to become a county lieutenant......

Liu Tao has never wanted to join Lu Zhi, but he actually has concerns about this.

"Well, that's true!" As soon as Liu Tao said that, Lu Yan also began to get nervous.

Unlike Liu Tao, Lu Zhi has already been filial piety, even if he is imprisoned for a short time, with his original identity and prestige in the Shi clan, he can be easily reinstated, and it is even possible to go further after a year or two.

But what about Liu Tao? Although he has the identity of a clan relative of the Han family, he is just a squire, although he was appointed by Liu Yan as the Sima of other departments and went south to support Lu Zhi, if Lu Zhi is in prison, he has witnessed all this, can he not follow him to Luoyang?

It's about filial piety, not to mention Liu Tao, even he doesn't dare to slack off. But when Liu Tao gave up all this in front of him, what could he gain besides deducting some fame?

At most, there is an opportunity to show filial piety, and then you may join the army, you may enter politics, and climb step by step. Naturally, it is nothing, but if the world is about to be in chaos, time does not allow him to climb slowly.

"How long will Zuo Feng stay in the army?" Liu Tao thought for a while and asked.

"How is this possible? The inspection will take a day or two, and it is estimated that it will be necessary, and there will be more than five or six days. Lu Yan thought for a moment.

"Indeed, he must pretend to inspect it, and then give Lu Zhi and the officers below a little hint, and give them a day or two to think and raise money......," Liu Tao began to analyze, "He will also inspect our side, right?" ”

"Brother's earlier preparations were for Zuo Feng, right?" Lu Yan seemed to understand, no, listening to his brother's prophecy that a yellow gate named Zuo Feng would come over, he already had this idea in his heart.

Not to mention, Liu Tao has also said before that his identity is not a big problem in contacting eunuchs.

"I have to be scolded by the teacher...... No, you have to be scolded, that's it. Liu Tao thought for a while, "Go and see when the teacher is free, I'm going to see him." ”

"Brother has already made up his mind?" When Lu Yan heard this, he suddenly asked with some excitement.

"Let's see when the teacher is free." Liu Tao nodded.

The latter didn't talk nonsense, he went to check directly, but only came back after more than an hour, indicating that Lu Zhi was already free.

"Where's Zuo Feng?" On the way, Liu Tao had to ask.

"The carriage is tired, and it's getting late, so let's go and rest first." Lu Yan replied.

Liu Tao nodded when he heard this, and soon came to Lu Zhi's camp, and after the report, he entered the camp to meet him.

"Deran, I heard Yan'er say that you have something important to look for me?" Lu Zhi looked at Liu Tao curiously, "It can't have anything to do with Zuo Huangmen, right?" ”

"Why does the teacher think it has something to do with Zuo Huangmen?" Liu Tao didn't reply, but asked rhetorically.

"Historically, His Majesty has sent the Yellow Gate to inspect the front line, and most of them will ask for bribes from officials, and those who are timid will hint at it, and those who are bold will even make it explicit." Lu Zhi said slowly.

Asking for bribes can be clearly stated, and it can be seen that the eunuch group is not all wronged.

"The disciple's coming this time is indeed related to Zuo Huangmen......" Liu Tao came to the end, but he was a little frightened.
