Chapter 0132 - A Clever Plan to Solve Worries
>,!
Paper can't contain the fire after all, a month ago, during a routine visit to the Lu family by Guo Xuan, the governor of Youzhou, Lu Shen learned the truth about Guo Xuan's assassination, which turned out to be Lu Mingyue. ↗,
Moreover, Guo Xuan said very implicitly, and some of the unscrupulous children of the Lu family also participated, and Lu Shen knew very well who the unscrupulous children Guo Xuan was referring to.
Under his stern questioning, the second son Lu Yi finally admitted that he was secretly contacting Lu Mingyue, and the mastermind behind the scenes turned out to be the deputy governor Luo Yi.
What made Lu Shen even more unacceptable was that the second son Lu Yi had already joined the Bohai Society, and the assassination of Guo Xuan was actually planned by the Bohai Society behind it.
This made Lu Shen couldn't help but be furious, beat Lu Yi severely, and removed all his family power, although Lu Shen was seventy years old, he still had to stand up and settle the serious consequences of the assassination for his second son.
Lu Shen has realized the mistakes he has made over the years, he is too indulgent to his second son, which leads to his excessive ambition, and he does not hesitate to take risks to join the Bohai Society in order to seize the power of the family, Lu Yi has gone too far on the wrong path.
Although nearly three months have passed, the consequences of this incident are slowly fermenting, just yesterday morning, Lu Shen received an official letter from the Governor's Mansion that the army will expropriate the land of the Lu Academy and order them to move out within three days, otherwise the army will raze the academy to the ground.
Guo Xuan's revenge began, and the Lu family could not find a building that could replace the academy, except for temporarily closing the academy and dismissing the 3,000 scholars studying in the academy, Lu Shen could not think of any other way.
You must know that the Lu family is famous for its education, and once the academy is closed, it will be a huge blow to the reputation of the Lu family.
Lu Shen was so anxious about this that he had nothing to do. He could only beg Guo Xuan to let the Lu family go, but Guo Xuan had a very heavy grudge, and I was afraid that his offer was something that Lu Shen could not bear.
At this time, the eldest grandson Lu Qingyuan reported outside the door: "Grandfather Qiqi, General Zhang is here"
Lu Shen perked up. Hurriedly said: "Hurry up and invite him in"
The reason why Lu Shen thought of Zhang Xuan was because he was in a hurry when he went to visit Guo Xuan in the Governor's Mansion yesterday afternoon, and the soldiers told him that Guo Du Governor had gone to visit General Zhang, who had just returned from Liaodong.
This surprised Lu Shen, and he suddenly remembered that his eldest son Lu Zhuo had told him that Zhang Xuan had saved his granddaughter Lu Qing. Maybe Zhang Xuan can help Lu intercede with Guo Xuan.
In the case of nothing to do, even if it is a straw, Lu Shen must firmly grasp it.
The door opened, and Lu Qingyuan walked in from outside with Jang Hyun, who stepped forward and bowed. "Junior, Jang Hyun, see Lu Gong"
"You're welcome, General Zhang, please take a seat."
Lu Shen politely asked Zhang Xuan to sit down, and gave his grandson a look, Lu Qingyuan understood what his grandfather meant, and let himself retreat, although he was very reluctant in his heart, he still didn't dare to disobey his grandfather's will, and slowly retreated.
"When did General Zhang come back?"
"Return to Lu Gong. The juniors just came back yesterday. ”
Zhang Xuan was a little uncomfortable, Lu Shen actually kicked Lu Qingyuan out, couldn't he let Lu Qingyuan know what he wanted to say to himself
Lu Shen's promise was answered. At this time, a maid served them tea, Lu Shen took a sip of tea, was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and said, "I already know about you saving my granddaughter, but the Lu family was rude to you like that last time." I'm so ashamed."
"Lu Gong doesn't have to be polite, let alone take it to heart. I know the Lu family's difficulties. ”
"General Zhang is a broad-minded man, and the Lu family will never forget General Zhang's kindness. It's just that the Lu family has been worried about something recently, which has caused me to be uneasy, and I don't even know that General Zhang is back. ”
Zhang Xuan already understood the meaning of Lu Shen's words, Lu Shen actually had something to ask for himself, so he bent around and kept hinting at himself.
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly: "Is there anything difficult about Lu Gong?"
Lu Shen actually didn't know how to speak, he was still hesitating whether to tell Zhang Xuan about it, but now that Zhang Xuan had asked, Lu Shen had to implicitly hint: "Does General Zhang know about Lu Mingyue?"
Zhang Xuan's mind turned, and he immediately understood Lu Shen's troubles, so he smiled and said: "Lu Gong refers to Lu Mingyue's assassination of Guo Dudu."
Lu Shen didn't expect Zhang Xuan to be so quick-minded, he guessed the truth all at once, and he was so frank, and he said things all at once, he was a little embarrassed, and only asked after a while: "How much does General Zhang know about this matter?"
"I know that incident is indeed related to the Lu family, to be exact, it is related to the second head of the Lu family, if I am not mistaken, Guo Dudu is starting to trouble the Lu family."
Zhang Xuan knew that Guo Xuan was by no means a person who could laugh at his enmity, Lu Yi participated in the assassination of him, how could Guo Xuan let go of the Lu family, from the last time Guo Xuan did not come to attend the Lu family's 70th birthday, he could see Guo Xuan's attitude.
It's just that Zhang Xuan didn't expect that Guo Xuan would delay for so long before starting to retaliate, but after careful consideration, he can also think of the reason for this, Guo Luo's secret battle has been fierce recently.
Zhang Xuan suddenly realized, did Lu Shen think that he and Guo Xuan had a deep friendship
Lu Shen sighed, "The family is unfortunate, there is a trouble, I have severely punished him, but the matter has come to this, it is useless to punish him, I don't know how to make up for this matter Guo Dudu has ordered the closure of the Lu Academy, making it difficult for the old man to sleep, can Zhang Gongzi give some advice?"
Zhang Xuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said: "Of course I am willing to worry about Lu Gong, but I want to explain one thing, there is no friendship between me and Guo Dudu, if I am asked to intercede with him, there will be no result, but I know the causes and consequences of this matter better, and I can indeed make a few suggestions." ”
Lu Shen was a little disappointed in his heart, he actually wanted Zhang Xuan to intercede with Guo Xuan for himself, after all, Zhang Xuan helped Guo Xuan attack Lu Mingyue, and he had a little favor from Guo Xuan, but Zhang Xuan had already blocked the road first, so he had to smile reluctantly, "General, please speak"
"I think that Guo Dudu's difficulty with the Lu family at this time is not just for the Lu family, but related to Deputy Governor Luo, the two of them are fighting for the dominance of Youzhou after the Battle of Goguryeo, and Guo Dudu used the assassination case to attack the Lu family, in fact, he is forcing Deputy Governor Luo to make concessions."
Lu Shen was stunned, but he didn't expect this, he hurriedly asked: "General Zhang only came yesterday, how could he know this?"
"It's actually easy to think that Deputy Governor Luo's father was seriously ill, and he didn't rush back to Xiangyang, but asked his son and wife to go back for him, which shows the fierce struggle between the two of them."
Although Zhang Xuan said it simply, he hit the nail on the head, for ordinary people, where do you want to get so deep, Lu Shen stayed for a while before he said slowly: "I'm afraid Deputy Governor Luo won't give in because of the Lu family."
"The key is here, Duke Lu must let Duke Guo understand this, and then things will be easy to say, or give more money and food, or apologize to Governor Guo, or something else, in short, things can be discussed, so that Duke Lu will not be left without anything to do."
Lu Shen suddenly had a sense of empowerment, Zhang Xuan is not a simple person, he is so clear at a young age, he can quickly find clues from a thousand clues, and he has never seen a young person with this ability.
Zhang Xuan saw that he was thoughtful, so he smiled again: "I have a plan, Lu Gong can give it a try"
Lu Shen hurriedly said: "General Zhang, please speak, I will listen to you."
Zhang Xuan said unhurriedly: "Guo Dudu's secretary room is called Cui Li, he turned out to be my Cangcao to join the army, and the people who can serve as the secretary to join the army are generally the henchmen of the lord, Lu Gong might as well ask him to help, as long as he is willing to help, then Guo Dudu should understand that the Lu family has nothing to do with Deputy Governor Luo." ”
Lu Shen nodded, "I also know this Cui Li, and I have a good relationship with my grandson Qingyuan, I can let Qingyuan go to him." ”
Zhang Xuan shook his head slowly, "If Gong Lu doesn't have enough sincerity, I'm afraid this Cui Li won't try too hard."
Zhang Xuan said very implicitly, if this kind of thing is not good enough, who is willing to help Lu Shen also understood what Zhang Xuan meant, and asked in a deep voice: "I don't know what sincerity he needs"
Zhang Xuan lowered his voice and said: "I know that the head of the Lu family is now serving as the priest of the country, so he should also have one or two places in the imperial examination this time, if Cui Li can be admitted to the imperial examination, then"
"Does Cui Li also want to participate in the imperial examination?"
Jang Hyun laughed, "He told me personally that this is his greatest wish.
Lu Shen pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "I can give it a try."
Lu Shen personally sent Zhang Xuan out of Lu's Villa, and stood at the head of the bridge to see Zhang Xuan away, which made Lu Qingyuan very shocked, his grandfather actually sent the guests in person, and also sent them out of the villa, how many years have they not been born, what did they talk about, so that his grandfather was so grateful.
Lu Shen looked at Zhang Xuan and let out a long sigh, "Young and handsome, the future is immeasurable."
Lu Qingyuan finally couldn't help but ask: "Why does grandfather respect him so much?"
"He is the best among the young people I have ever seen, there is no one, a son of the Shandong Shi clan, no one can compare with him."
Lu Shen sighed softly again, "Heroes are born in troubled times, this is true, if it weren't for troubled times, how could a commoner like him have a bright future, but once he comes out, he will definitely soar in the nine heavens." ”
Listening to his grandfather's unhesitant praise of Zhang Xuan, Lu Qingyuan's heart was sour, although he was not jealous, but Zhang Xuan was so tall, what was he in his grandfather's heart
"Since grandfather is so optimistic about him, why don't you recruit him as his grandson-in-law," Lu Qingyuan said with a hint of sourness.
Lu Shen's heart moved, this is a good idea, if Zhang Xuan can become the son-in-law of the Lu family, maybe the Lu family can still rely on him to get up and pass the Cui family.
He immediately thought of Lu Qing, it seemed that only Qing'er's beauty could be worthy of him, but Lu Shen thought of the Cui family again, Qing'er would be the daughter-in-law of the Cui family in the future, and he couldn't offend the Cui family for the time being.
Lu Shen was really a little embarrassed in his heart, this matter was really in a hurry, and he had to think about it in the long run, so Lu Shen put this matter aside for the time being.
At this time, Lu Shen suddenly remembered Zhang Xuan's suggestion about Cui Li, which was an urgent matter, so he said to Lu Qingyuan: "Qingyuan, you come with me, my grandfather has an important matter for you to do." "To be continued
