Chapter 270: The Zhen Family Proposes Marriage

Liu Ze is also very worried about this, his relationship with the plain clan is already the same as fire, there is no possibility of reconciliation at all, once the war with other princes on the front line, then these hateful warriors will inevitably stand up and launch a rebellion, at that time, Liu Ze will definitely fall into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy, so Liu Ze is actually more eager than Liu Ping to deal with the grievances between them.

The failure of Liu Parallel's assassination case made Liu Ze finally see the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time, and in exchange for the lives of these scholars with the "Forbidden Weapons Order", things could be made easy. Sure enough, the killing of chickens and monkeys had an obvious effect, and these scholars who participated in the assassination had to accept the "Prohibition Order" against their will under the threat of death.

Although there is nothing in the plain that can affect the big scholars and wealthy clans of the government and the opposition, the forces in the hands of the large and small warriors, ranging from thousands to hundreds, are also a force to be reckoned with. The establishment of the township guard can enrich the local public security force, and can also effectively crack down on the remnants of the yellow turbans and mountain bandits; because this is a force controlled by the government, it can be requisitioned and transferred at will, and the township guard's ability to maintain public order in the countryside will be greatly improved compared with the private soldiers of the families who sweep the snow in front of their own doors and take care of the frost on the tiles of others.

The Liu family, the number one scholar in the plains, was completely wiped out, and other big heroes were also forced to accept the "Prohibition Order", and the other scholars who did not participate in the assassination of Liu Parallel were left with only some small and medium-sized forces, and they had no ability to resist the government at all, and the "Prohibition Order" was bound to be carried out unhindered in the land of Pingyuan County.

In the past few days, the management of military schools has also been on the right track. Lu Zhi, who was busy in the dark some time ago, breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Ze saw that the teacher was so tired and thin that he was distressed, and insisted on giving the teacher a few days off, but Lu Zhi couldn't resist him, so he went back to his house to rest for a few days.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, his subordinates reported to Jizhou Zhen Yi to ask for a meeting. Zhen Yi is the richest man in Hebei, with great wealth, and once worked as an official in Luoyang, became Cai Ling, and met Lu Zhi. Although there is no deep friendship. But he is also familiar with it, but Lu Zhi is very puzzled, and he doesn't know what Zhen Yi is asking to see, out of courtesy. He welcomed Zhen Yi in.

Zhen Yi is about fifty years old. The appearance is very rich. As soon as he saw Lu Zhi, he smiled and bowed and said, "I heard that Lu Gong resigned from the post of Shangshu and lived in seclusion in the plains. Specially prepared a small gift to come to the meeting, a small meaning, not a tribute. As he spoke, he ordered his subordinates to present the gift list.

Lu Zhi excused himself and said: "Brother Zhen is too polite, Lu is already white, and Brother Lao Zhen is worried, so I am very relieved." As for these gifts, Lu did not dare to accept them. ”

"Duke Lu's name spreads all over the world, the sound vibrates the world, when he is a model in the world, when he is an official in Luoyang, he has listened to Duke Lu's teachings many times, and has benefited a lot, these gifts are just some vulgar things, talk about a little heart, please Lu Gong do not shirk." Although Zhen Yi's family is wealthy, he knows that Lu Zhi is honest and honest, diligent and thrifty, so the gifts presented are also ordinary things, so he is afraid that Lu Zhi will not accept them.

Lu Zhi couldn't refuse, so he took it, and the two sides sat down separately, and their own subordinates served tea.

Zhen Yi sighed: "The former eunuch was rampant, and Lu Gong suffered an unjustified disaster and was imprisoned. ”

Lu Zhi said with a sad face: "Lu is not sorry for the life and death of a certain person, he only hates the misfortune of the Han family, the loss of the emperor's unity, Dong Zhuo's perverse actions, the Son of Heaven suffers, and our courtiers have the intention to kill the thief, but they are unable to return to heaven." ”

"Dong Zhuo is brutal and ruthless, I heard that after Duke Lu left Beijing, Dong thief also sent assassins to chase and kill, can there be such a thing?"

"Yes, Dong Zhuo is a wolf and unkind, and he will be revenged, although I am wary, but when I arrived in Mengjin, I was still caught up by the assassins sent by Dong Zhuo, but fortunately, my disciple Runde sent someone to protect me secretly, so I saved my life."

Zhen Yi smiled and said: "When it comes to Runde Gong, everyone in the world knows it, Zhongping broke the yellow scarf, captured Zhang Jiao, killed Dong Zhuo at the beginning of the peace, fought the tiger prison, such a heroic victory, heroic and dry, unparalleled in the world, and even more youthful, the future is unlimited." But I don't know the geometry of Runde Gongguigeng? Can you have a wife? ”

Lu Zhi slapped his forehead and said: "Look at me I'm really confused, I don't know how old Runde is, but it should be very clear that he is not yet full, and he has not yet married a wife, but I don't know what Brother Zhen means, is it possible that he wants to protect a matchmaker for Runde?" ”

Zhen Yi smiled: "Zhen does have this intention. ”

"But I don't know which lady Brother Zhen is talking about? How is Rongde? But as far as the ugly words can be said in front, this disciple of mine is a nobleman of the Han family, and he guards one side, although he does not seek to be stunning and captivating, but he must also be virtuous and graceful, and he is a famous family. Lu Zhi said half-jokingly, "I heard that Brother Zhen's family has five daughters, all of whom have national colors, I wonder if Brother Zhen is willing to cut his love?" ”

Zhen Yixi said: "Zhen is here with this intention. The young daughter Zhen Mi, 28 years old, thin and beautiful, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, all fine, since childhood, there are strange festivals, vowing not to marry if she is not a hero in the world, if she does not give up, she is willing to hold a broom for Runde Gong. ”

Lu Zhi said: "This is also a beautiful thing, I should do my best, let me discuss it with Runde, Brother Zhen will go back to the house for the time being and wait for the good news." ”

Zhen Yi was overjoyed, thanked Lu Zhi, and left. Lu Zhi went straight to the Taishou Mansion.

Liu Ze was eating at this time, and when he heard Lu Zhi coming, he hurriedly abandoned the dishes and chopsticks and got up to greet him. "Has the teacher ever eaten?"

Lu Zhi had just sent Zhen Yi away, and he didn't bother to have lunch at all, so he came to Liu Ze, and when he heard Liu Ze ask him if he had eaten, he was not polite, so he directly said no.

Liu Ze immediately ordered the people below to bring a bowl of chopsticks and opened a jar of wine. Usually Liu Ze always eats with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, during this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei entered the special training class of the military academy, and the board and lodging are all there, so Liu Ze is left alone at the dinner table. As for the food, Liu Ze has always been the same as Jin Yingwei's standard, four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables, and there are no special exceptions. Usually he doesn't drink much, but today Lu Zhi can't do without wine.

Lu Zhi did not have the slightest restraint in Liu Ze's mansion, picked up the wine bowl, and drank it all. Lu Zhi was good at drinking, Liu Ze did not prepare a wine glass for him, but poured it directly into the bowl and let him drink it happily.

"Runde, I seem to remember you Xiao Long, I don't know, right?" Lu Zhilian asked as he drank.

Liu Ze was very strange, why did Lu Zhi ask him about this today, but he still replied truthfully: "Yes, the student was born in the seventh year of Yanxi Gengchen, how could the teacher ask about this?" ”

Lu Zhi groaned, obviously calculating Liu Ze's age. "Seven years of Yanxi...... Oh, then you will be twenty-nine this year, when you were studying in Zhuo County, you were not yet full of ambition to learn, and in the blink of an eye, life is really like a white horse, fleeting. ”

Liu Ze was also shocked when he heard this, yes, he really didn't pay attention to his age in normal times, Lu Zhi said this, he also thought that he was actually twenty-nine, and another year would be the year of standing, thinking that he was only fourteen years old when he crossed over from the afterlife, and in a flick of his fingers, fifteen years had passed. He put down his chopsticks and sighed: "Time flies, the years go by, the youth has passed, but the work is unfinished, the teacher doesn't mention it, and I almost forget how old I am." “

Lu Zhi said with a smile: "Runde is over the age of standing, and it is time to consider becoming a family." ”

Men in the Han Dynasty got married relatively early, and they generally got married after the crown, but for many years, Liu Ze has been busy with wars and government affairs, and his personal problems have never been solved. Jia Xu has said this several times, and Liu Ze has been reluctant to shirk it several times. In fact, emotional matters have always been a hidden pain in his heart. The woman he loved has long since been married, and the woman who loves him has broken her soul, and the past is gone, and it is unbearable to look back.

"The Huns have not been destroyed, how can they be home? A good man is determined to be in the world, Kuang Fu Sheji, students swear, their achievements are not completed, and they don't talk about marriage! Liu Ze still excused himself as always.

Lu Zhi waved his hand and said: "If a person has no wife, it is like a house without beams, how can he abolish his humanity because of his merits, not to mention that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, it is not contradictory to start a family and start a business, and it is time to consider Runran." Now that your parents have died, you have the right to make decisions about your marriage. ”

Liu Ze hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you, teacher, it's just ......"

"Runde is worried that the woman he chose for you will not like it, right?" Lu Zhi smiled and said, "You can rest assured about this, if it weren't for a virtuous and graceful woman, she would definitely not be introduced to you as a teacher." Zhen Mi, the youngest daughter of Wuji Zhen Yi, is twenty-eight years old, has the color of the country, works poetry, wonderful music and rhythm, and is proficient in chess and painting. I heard that Yuan Shao came to propose marriage for his second son Yuan Xi, but the Zhen family did not agree, if Runde can marry Miss Zhen, it will be a good story in the world. ”

"Zhen Mi?" Liu Ze's heart was shocked, isn't it, Luo Shen Zhen Mi, one of the four beauties of the Three Kingdoms? Oh my God, this god and horse situation, Zhen Mi didn't marry Yuan Xi first in history, and later when Yecheng was broken by Cao Cao, Zhen Mi was taken by Cao Pi as a concubine, and gave birth to a son and a daughter for Cao Pi, and the son was Cao Rui, who later became Emperor Wei Ming, but unfortunately Zhen Mi failed in the tragic palace fight, was stuffed with chaff, and died a miserable death. But at this time, she did not marry Yuan Xi, but was kissed by Lu Zhi to herself, could it be the effect of her little butterfly fluttering her wings?

Note: According to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms. WEI Shu. The Biography of the Queen's Concubine records that Zhen Mi was born in December Ding You (January 26, 183 AD) in the fifth year of Guanghe, and it is very rare for the history books to record her birth date accurately, throughout the history of the Three Kingdoms. In order to write for the needs of the text, Zhen Mi's age will be changed to a few years older, and Zhen Mi's father Zhen Yi will also live a few years longer. (To be continued......)
