Chapter 18: Apprenticeship with Lu Zhi
Hearing this, Zhou Fan couldn't help but be stunned.
Weiyang Stable Order, which is one of the three princes and nine kings, Tai Pu's subordinate, with an official rank of 600 stones, is responsible for managing the Weiyang stable.
This Weiyang stable, as the name suggests, is the stable in the Weiyang Palace. And this Weiyang stable order is natural, that is the official responsible for the management of this Weiyang stable, to put it bluntly, that is just a horse breeder, just a horse breeder for the Son of Heaven.
The Western Han Dynasty attaches great importance to horses, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made the Fanbang submit, so there are six stables in Chang'an, the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, respectively, Weiyang stable, Chenghua stable, camel stable, road stable, riding stable, and stable. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, all other stables were omitted, and only Weiyang stables were retained as the only stables in the capital Luoyang.
"I didn't expect me to have a day as Bi Ma Wen!" Zhou Fan thought with some tears and laughter.
"Wechen thanked Your Majesty!" Zhou Fan hurriedly responded. Spit and complain, but he is quite satisfied with the official position of this Weiyang stable order, what's wrong with the horse breeder, no matter how you say it, it is also a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and the Monkey King has also been Bi Ma Wen.
What's more, now for Zhou Fan, what is the most important, that is naturally the animal, this Weiyang stable order is not only responsible for horses, the top boss Taipu is in charge of the country's animal husbandry, when the time comes, take advantage of the convenience of the position, to improve their own system, and upgrade as soon as possible is the most important thing.
He Jin on the side heard that Emperor Han Ling gave Zhou Fan such an official position, so he stopped talking, Weiyang Stable Order, such a small official position that could not be smaller, he He Jin really didn't look down on it, so there was no need to go against Emperor Han Ling for such a small person.
"Hmm!" Emperor Han Ling nodded with satisfaction, looked around, and shouted loudly: "Where is Taipu Lu Zhi and Lu Aiqing!" ”
"Wechen is here!" As soon as Emperor Han Ling's words fell, an old minister in his forties stood up.
"Lu Zhi! Lu Zhi is a servant! Zhou Fan looked at the man, his pupils shrunk, and his face was shocked.
He never thought that the current servant, his immediate boss, would actually be Lu Zhi, the great Confucian of the time.
Lu Zhina was a famous Confucian and general in the late Han Dynasty. He studied under the great Confucian Ma Rong of the time, and was the same as the great Confucian Zheng Xuan. Among the scholars, it has a very high status. The white horse general Gongsun Zan and the big-eared Liu Bei are also his disciples. In his early years, he served as the Taishou of Lujiang twice to quell the rebellion of the barbarians.
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Lu Zhizhi was named the general of Beizhong Lang, and led the five schools of the Northern Army to crusade against Zhang Jiao, winning consecutive battles, and the Zhang Jiao that he fought retreated to Guangzong and defended the city.
It's a pity that just when Lu Zhi was about to capture Guangzong, he was framed by Zuo Feng, the eunuch from the palace, and ended up in prison, otherwise Guangzong might have been broken long ago.
It can be said that this Lu Zhi is one of the few old ministers he admires among the civil and military officials today. Such a character is now his top boss, if Zhou Fan doesn't grasp the opportunity, then he will definitely have a brain pump.
"Lu Aiqing, now that Aiqing is serving as the Weiyang stable order this week, I will hand it over to you in the future!" Emperor Han Ling said with a smile. Although I didn't say it directly, the meaning is already very clear, you look at it, take good care of me. After all, his good horse and future immortals, so he still has to watch Zhou Fan.
"Obey the order!" Lu Zhi said respectfully. After that, he turned his head and glanced at Zhou Fan casually. He didn't think there was anything wrong, although Zhou Fan was promoted out of the ordinary, but his ability was also the most suitable person to serve as the unstable order, take more care of it, let alone take care of it......
Zhou Fan was slightly stunned, and hurriedly nodded at Lu Zhi, he actually saw a trace of kindness in Lu Zhi's eyes, which couldn't help but make him a little surprised. In his impression, this Lu Zhi is an upright and unafraid of power, how could he be kind to himself just because of Emperor Han Ling's words.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is still something to start!" Emperor Han Ling asked in a somewhat impatient voice.
There was silence below, and no one spoke. just focused on Zhou Fan's body.
Today, Zhou Fanna can be regarded as famous, but he offended the general He Jin, but he got the favor of Emperor Han Ling, which is not a loss, not to mention that he also got an official position.
"Since it's okay, let's retreat over there!" Emperor Han Ling waved his sleeves and got up and left directly, and Zhang Rang, who was behind him, glanced at Zhou Fan lightly, and hurriedly followed.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty left the main hall, and the scene suddenly became lively.
"Humph!" He Jin strode towards the outside of the hall, and when he passed by Zhou Fan's side, he glared at him resentfully and snorted coldly.
Zhou Fan glanced at He Jin lightly, and couldn't help but have a trace of disdain in his heart, originally he didn't want to get involved in the battle between He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants, after all, it was not in line with his own interests. However, since He Jin took the initiative to provoke, Zhou Fan is not a person who is afraid of yes, anyway, with Emperor Han Ling behind his back, he is really not afraid of He Jin, a butcher who was born to kill pigs.
He Jin left, and suddenly many officials with relatively low official positions came up directly, and they were close to Zhou Yi and Zhou Fan. He Jin was there before, they didn't dare to get close to Zhou Fantao in front of He Jin, if he hated him, it would be a tragedy.
But now, then He Jin is gone, naturally there is no need to be afraid, for Zhou Fan, the current celebrity in front of Emperor Han Ling, it is naturally good to be able to make friends.
Zhou Fan had no choice but to fight with these wall grasses and tail snakes, so he sent them away.
The ministers who were waiting all left, Zhou Fan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and muttered in a low voice: "It's really tiring to deal with this group of people." ”
Zhou Yi couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this: "You, you!" ”
Zhou Fan smiled wryly, and couldn't help but feel a thrill in his heart, only then did he realize that there was actually another person who stayed here and did not leave, looking at him with a smile.
"Student Zhou Fan, I've seen Master Lu!" Zhou Fan hurriedly stepped forward and gave a student salute to the man. That person was not Lu Zhi or anyone.
"Yuanyang Xian nephew doesn't have to be polite!" Lu Zhiwen smiled gently.
"Virtuous nephew!" Zhou Fan couldn't help but be confused by this sentence of virtuous nephew, it seemed that it was the first time he had seen this Lu Zhi, where did this virtuous nephew come from.
At this moment, Zhou Yilang, who was behind him, walked over laughing loudly: "Brother Zi, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Lu Zhi also laughed when he heard this, and said: "It's been a long time, I didn't expect that Brother Zichang Xian could have such an outstanding descendant, it's really a blessing for three lives." ”
"Dad, do you know Master Lu?" At this time, if Zhou Fan still can't figure out the situation, then there will be ghosts. Feeling that his father and Lu Zhi know each other, and the relationship seems to be good, no wonder this Lu Zhi has good intentions towards himself.
Lu Zhi laughed when he heard this: "In the past, the old man was not less taken care of by his brother in this sect, and he was also an official in the same dynasty as your father, so he naturally knew each other. ”
"Honzong! Isn't it the uncle Zhou Tang who has been a captain and has now returned to Lujiang after saying goodbye! Zhou Fan couldn't help but suddenly realize.
"Brother Zi, the dog is still young, and I will ask you to take care of it in the future!" Zhou Yi bowed deeply and said.
"Brother Zi Changxian, where is this, naturally do your best for your brother!" Lu Zhi hurriedly stretched out his hand to block Zhou Yi's move, looking like he took it for granted
Zhou Yi rolled his eyes when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "What does Zigan think of the dog?" ”
Lu Zhi didn't react for a while, and nodded again and again in praise: "Yuanyang is really a talent, a handsome among people!" ”
The corners of Zhou Yi's mouth curled, and he said: "The dog is stubborn, I can't control him, it's better to let him worship you as a teacher, or take care of him for my virtuous brother!" ”
