Body 366 Retainers

Why didn't Li Hong want to report directly to his father, or use his previous way of doing things, regardless of right and wrong, to take the initiative to find out the officialdom in Luoyang first!

But he is not without worries now, first of all, although Luoyang's status is still not as important as Chang'an, but it is already the second big city that the Tang Dynasty relies on, he has offended the magnates of Chang'an, and then offended the magnates of Luoyang, even if he ascends the throne in the future, will there be anyone available in his hands? In the two important capitals, looking at it yourself, except for the enemy, it seems that it is not very suitable.

Although it is said that his Chongwen Pavilion is now full of talents, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the resources in the hands of the powerful are still much stronger than those of the Chongwen Pavilion, and it is difficult to compete with others head-on in a short period of time, and they do not rely on others at all.

Moreover, Princess Qianjin, Cao Wang Li Ming and other royal families already regard themselves as tigers and wolves, and if they offend Uncle Ji's side, it will be good now, and in the entire royal family, he will really become a loner.

And if you can get things done, don't let yourself be hated by Uncle Ji, and don't let other powerful people see you as a tiger and wolf, wouldn't this be the best of both worlds.

Li Hong has an indescribable aversion to the sugar gourd, in short, he doesn't like to eat the slimy sugar gourd, but the goblin Bai Chun eats it with relish, and after handing the other string in his hand to Li Sujie, he also stuffed the sugar gourd he just asked for into Li Hong's mouth, saying that he wanted Li Hong to taste it: "This sugar gourd in Luoyang is better than Chang'an." ”

Li Hong took a look at a sugar gourd suspiciously, and then saw Bai Chun shaking his head and explaining: "The sugar gourd in Chang'an has no seeds, and the sugar gourd in Luoyang has seeds." ”

Li Hong, who found out that he was a goblin, really wanted to slap a few times on the sexy buttocks of the goblin in front of the public and in front of everyone, which is the difference!

The three of them turned around Luoyang South City like a lonely ghost, and the three people who had nothing to do until the lights came on and there were few pedestrians on the street, they were still reluctant to walk across the Tianjin Bridge to the palace.

Li Sujie was anxious as if he wanted to go to the toilet, he had been out for a whole day, and said that he would go back early, but seeing that the two still had no intention of going back, he was embarrassed to go back to the house alone, so he had to accompany the two of them to wander around the street.

Even the three of them ran to Luoshui boringly, standing on the river embankment to observe the painting boats full of literati and ink writers, laughter and laughter on the Luoshui one after another, the crisp singing of the girls, the bold poetry of the literati, endlessly, the whole Luoshui is a prosperous scene, and the three people on the river embankment who are worried about the rations of the people form a sharp contrast.

After being questioned several times by the Wuwei of Luoyang as a homeless lonely ghost and a suspicious bad element, the three of them said goodbye on the Tianjin Bridge and prepared to go back to their respective homes.

His Royal Highness the suspicious Prince of the Tang Dynasty just entered from Yingtianmen, and was stopped by the eunuch waiting at the door, Your Majesty and the queen have an invitation, the slave and maid have been waiting for you here for an afternoon, but I didn't expect you to come back at this time.

"A good thing, a bad thing?" Someone's first reaction was to ask, which made the eunuchs confused, is this His Royal Highness the Prince? Come up and ask for good things and bad things!

Fortunately, I was only on an errand in Luoyang, not in the capital Chang'an, but today I finally saw the difference between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ordinary people.

Sneaky someone led Bai Chun to prepare to go to the Qianyuan Palace, but was told that the dragon father and the dragon mother were waiting for him in the Zhenguan Palace, this Luoyang Palace since the repair, the Qianyuan Palace has become the palace of the dragon father, and the Zhenguan Hall behind him has become the palace of the dragon mother as a matter of course, and a Ming Hall next to it is almost the same as the style of the memorial hall of the previous life.

As soon as the person walked to the door of the Zhenguan Palace, he heard Wu Mei's cold voice say, "You and Bai Chun come in together!" ”

Someone shrank his neck in fright, reached out and gently patted Bai Chun's straight buttocks, and muttered in someone's ear: "It seems that the queen doesn't treat you as an outsider, and such a kind word 'roll' is used on you."

Bai Chun didn't dare to be as presumptuous as Li Hong, but he had to tell Li Hong the information he had just received, so he whispered as he walked into the Zhenguan Palace: "Liyang Cang ......." ”

The recent behavior of the Metropolitan Governor of Yizhou has made Lu Lisu a little incomprehensible, since he came back from Luoyang, he always feels that King Xu Li Shangjin seems to have hardened his waist, compared to before he went to Luoyang, the whole person has changed significantly in terms of temperament and prestige.

What made him even more puzzled was that King Xu, who had never interfered in local government affairs, had never turned a blind eye to local government affairs in Yizhou, and he could hide as far as he could, but today, together with the two palace maids and eunuchs who were newly brought back from Chang'an this time, stopped the government's grain carriage and kept asking questions.

Even if he heard the wind and ran around, he couldn't make King Xu, who had never interfered in local government affairs, change his mind, and had to break the casserole and ask to the end, so that he could tell where the grain was going.

It is said that when you first come to the place, whether you are the governor of the city or the protector of the capital, when the place has not yet formed any wings, it will not work against the local officials, why does this king dare to do this?

He is the prince of His Majesty today, different from His Majesty's brother and prince, he has formed his own sphere of influence in the local area, and his wings are full, coupled with the trust of the imperial court and His Majesty today, he has the ability to argue and inquire with local officials.

He Xu Wang doesn't have such energy now, the court has not fully believed that he has no intention of the crown prince, and even in the capital, he has no power at all, as a prince born to the palace people, the mother concubine does not have any power to let him rely on, he has been careful not to ask about right and wrong in the past few years, how dare he seize the grain and grass vehicles today?

Lu Lisu sat in the living room and thought hard, thinking about it, and he didn't know why King Xu became so hard after returning to Luoyang, as if he had changed a person.

What annoys him even more, these days the grain storage place is often patronized by the snitch, all the ledgers are gone, these ledgers are recorded to be transported to Weizhou Liyang Cang 100,000 stone grain ledger, if it falls into the hands of someone with a heart, the consequences dare not imagine, if you don't get it right, you have to implicate King Ji.

When he was in a daze and wondering why King Xu Li Shangjin was so hard, a retainer hurriedly walked in and said in a low voice: "My lord, I have found out clearly, the two palace maids and eunuchs who followed King Xu today were not given to him by His Majesty in Luoyang, and they were checked from the post office, and these two palace maids and eunuchs arrived in Yizhou before King Xu, and they lived in King Xu's mansion as soon as they arrived in Yizhou." ”

"Isn't it a palace maid and a eunuch? Is this possible? So who are they? Have you checked it? Lu Lisu asked with a frown.

I just wrote to Lu Shuang, the son of Shaoyin of Henan Mansion, today to ask if he knew anything about the fact that there were two more palace maids and eunuchs around King Xu for no reason.

"Their identities have not been found out, but judging from the people who have monitored King Xu's mansion in the past few days, these two men and two women seem to have very unusual identities, although every time I see King Xu, they are palace maids and eunuchs, but King Xu is very respectful of them in his attitude, not like palace maids and eunuchs at all."

"This is strange, what kind of person, what identity, how can Xu Wangdu be courteous? By the way, the people who went to King Xu's Mansion to ask for food came back and didn't ....... ”

"Your Excellency...... My lord....... The panicked crying outside interrupted Lu Lisu's questioning.

"Let them come in and go to the back study." When Lu Lisu heard the shouts outside, he knew that it was the person who went to Xu Wangfu to ask for a grain cart and returned in vain.

Lu Lisu, under the leadership of his retainers, had just sat down in the back study, and there was a sound of stumbling footsteps at the door, listening to the footsteps, Lu Lisu's brows furrowed even tighter, obviously his retainers would not bring any good news.

"Your Excellency......."

"What's going on? Why is this so? Lu Lisu, who had just sat down on the chair, looked at the head of his retainers, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and stood up from the chair!

The retainers are different from slaves and subordinates, but have a certain status in the Lu family, which can be said to be a relationship with him Lu Lisu.

This kind of contract spirit of the retainers is equivalent to tying their fate to the Lu family, and the most important thing is that because of the contractual relationship of both prosperity and loss, they will be the most loyal subordinates of the Lu family at any time, and they will not betray the Lu family at any time.

The disadvantage is that if they have been a retainer for a long time, then after the Lu family has a certain prestige, after getting the master's approval, they will have autonomy in certain things, and they can act cheaply for the interests of the family.

And this is like a double-edged sword, sometimes the retainer acts indiscriminately when he doesn't know clearly, and it is easy for the main family to fall into passivity, but at this time, the main family can only accompany him through the difficulties, and he can't be driven out of the family, not the minister of the Lu family.

Therefore, when some magnates choose retainers, they often go through more than ten or twenty years of investigation, and they are even more cautious in the selection and appointment, and up to now, he Lu Lisu has only about 20 retainers, which is enough to imagine that other magnates will be as cautious as him when choosing retainers.

"Your Excellency......."

"Let's talk about things first, what kind of system has my mother-in-law become!" Lu Lisu's eyebrows were furrowed, looking at the retainers who had been beaten and their noses were swollen and miserable and helpless, and a nameless anger rose in his heart!

Is King Xu so arrogant! Doesn't he know what his relationship with Ji Wang Li Shen is! Didn't he know that Princess Ji was his granddaughter! Who's backing him?
