Chapter 179: Marriage and Alliance
"A little warrior dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head?"
Xia Da Sima Mansion, Lu Qiyue said angrily.
Lu Qiyue's son Lu Zang reversed black and white nonsense, but in fact, Lu Qiyue didn't believe it.
What does his son look like? Lu Qiyue knows better than anyone else, relying on himself to be the only son in the family, pampered since childhood, arrogant and domineering, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil.
In this quelling of the chaos, Lu Zang claimed to have made great contributions, and Lu Qiyue didn't believe it, he could charge into battle and make military achievements? But it seems like a fantasy, meritorious service? It's almost the same as grabbing credit.
The reason why Lu Qiyue won this opportunity for Lu Zang to lead the army and quell the chaos was just to let him go through training and experience, mix up some military merits and qualifications, etc., so that he could be promoted to him in the future.
Lu Qiyue didn't believe Lu Zang's nonsense, but he was still extremely angry, the reason was that he didn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, or to beat the dog to see the owner, Min Wuyan's move was completely to throw the face of the Lu family on the ground and trample on it at will, if this matter spread, where would the face of the Lu family go? It will definitely hurt the prestige of the Lu family.
Min Wuyan's military stick was hit on Lu Zang's buttocks, but it was actually hit on Lu Qiyue's old face.
"Master, the east bed is here."
Just as Lu Qiyue was thinking about countermeasures, an old servant came in to report.
"Mowgli? Let him in. Lu Qiyue was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered the old servant.
Hong Wuji is cunning and wise, after entering the office, he figured out the intentions, advocated peace, and reached a peace agreement with Yan, so he was quite favored, and in a short time, he was promoted to the imperial history of the Xia Yushi Tai, in charge of supervising the affairs of hundreds of officials in the court, in charge of the granting of talismans and other things, and 400 households.
Of course, Hong Wuji's ability to soar is also inseparable from the great help of Lu Qiyue and his Lu family.
Among Lu Qiyue's many sons-in-law, he is still quite satisfied with Hong Wuji.
"Meet Tarzan!" After Hong Wuji entered the inner room, he glanced at Lu Zanghou and said respectfully.
"Virtuous son-in-law is exempt." Hong Wuji was respectful and respectful, which made Lu Qiyue more satisfied, nodded and asked, "Xiangzhi, what's wrong with her?" ”
"The son-in-law's words were reckless, and he collided with his wife, and today he came to ask Lord Taishan for his guilt!" Hong Wuji lowered his eyebrows and replied smoothly.
Lu Qiyue's daughter Lu Xiangzhi went back to her parents' house two days ago to cry, saying that Hong Wuji was extremely indifferent to her, and of course Lu Qiyue knew about it.
"Hey, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." Lu Qiyue sighed when he heard this: "Xiangzhi, she has been pampered since she was a child, and the virtuous son-in-law looks at the thin face of the old man, and hopes to take care of one or two more." ”
"Don't dare..."The old servant sent a felt mat, Hong Wuji just knelt down and sat down, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly got up and said solemnly: "Madame, she is gentle and gentle, and the little son-in-law is upset by things, so he neglects Madame,"
"Oh? What's your concern? Lu Qiyue asked when he heard this.
"State affairs, family affairs." Hong Wuji replied after glancing at Lu Zang again.
"Family matters? Why family matters? Lu Qiyue asked again when he heard this.
"It's not my brother's business?" Hong Wuji replied with a smile.
"Fang'er's business? So, you got it? Lu Qiyue asked in surprise when he heard this.
Lu Zang also looked at his brother-in-law in surprise when he heard this.
"Lu Zang's affairs, at this moment, everyone in the court knows about it, and no one knows about it." Hong Wuji replied.
"Min Wuyan, bully me too much, insult me too much!" Lu Qiyue said hatefully when he heard this.
Similar to what Lu Qiyue expected, the Lu family made a big move, which attracted a lot of jealousy, at this time Lu Zang had an accident, and everyone gloated, looking at the jokes of the Lu family, maybe there were people who wanted to take advantage of this matter and make a big fuss.
"Lord Taishan is angry..."Hong Wuji knelt down again and said: "Min Wuyan, a military minister, has insulted the important ministers of the court, and he must not be kind to him. ”
Hong Wuji and Min Wuyan do have a love for horses, he once joined the army for Min Wuyan's army, but at this time, at that time, Min Wuyan and Hong Wuji have different political views, one does not forget the Northern Expedition and recovers his homeland, but the other only knows how to welcome the will, and steals peace, the two are gradually drifting apart, strange as passers-by, plus Hong Wuji has a ghost in his heart, the two are basically on the same page.
"Okay, what is the plan of the virtuous son-in-law?" Lu Qiyue was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked.
Hong Wuji is a Zhongcheng in the imperial history, in charge of supervising the affairs of hundreds of officials in the court, so he can call a few imperial histories casually and fabricate some excuses casually, so he can put Min Wuyan to death.
"It's a big thing, and it's peaceful." Hong Wuji replied.
"It's a big deal, and it's quiet?" Lu Qiyue was surprised when he heard this.
The injury on Lu Zang's buttocks has not healed so far, and he has been lying on the ground, ignoring the pain in his buttocks, he supported his hands and actually jumped up and pointed at Hong Wuji and scolded: "Hong Wuji, are you really gloating?" My Lu family suffered this great humiliation, you actually want to calm things down? Hong Wuji, without my Lu family, where would you be today? If you don't help, forget it, do you still want to make a big deal? Who is my third sister? Actually..."
"Shut up, Hugh is going to talk nonsense!" Lu Qiyue didn't wait for Lu Zang to finish scolding, and then opened his mouth to scold.
Lu Qiyue knew that Hong Wuji still had something to say later, and it was definitely not a big deal, and it was peaceful.
When Lu Zang heard this, he had no choice but to retreat, and lay on the ground like a toad.
"Min Wuyan has made great contributions to quelling the chaos this time, and His Majesty has promoted him to the governor of Xiangfan, and the governor of Xiangfan's military horses." After Hong Wuji glanced at Lu Zang with disdain, he replied in a low voice: "Min Wuyan is in the favor of the Holy Saint, and his subordinates are elite soldiers, so you can't touch him at this time." ”
"Governor of Xiangfan? Who recommended it? Lu Qiyue was immediately angry when he heard this, and asked dejectedly.
Hong Wuji shook his head slightly when he heard this.
The big family controls the government, they have fiefs under them, there is money and grain if there is a fief, and if there is money and grain, there will be soldiers and horses. If you want to talk about recommendation, just find a minister to recommend it, just go through the motions, Yang Liang will definitely not be allowed.
Therefore, at this moment, Emperor Xia's intention of Yang Liang to promote Min Wuyan is self-evident.
"So, the old man needs to swallow his breath in this matter?" Lu Qiyue then asked again.
"At the moment, it seems that this is the case." Hong Wuji nodded and said, "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!" Master Taishan, Lu Zang's matter can't be brought down by him, even if he can be brought down, he can't be put to death. Moreover, at this time, the old man of Mount Tai will inevitably have the suspicion of being suspicious, so it should be a big deal at this time, and the matter will be calm, so that it can not only show the generosity of the Lu family, but also not offend the present. ”
"Brother-in-law, what about my hatred...? This beating was in vain? The humiliation of my Lu family..."Lu Zang asked.
"Definitely!" Hong Wuji glanced at Lu Zang and said lightly: "When wild beasts hunt prey, they always hide in the dark first, but the prey is in the light. ”
"Haha, the virtuous son-in-law is reasonable, so it is a foolproof strategy!" Lu Qiyue laughed and nodded approvingly when he heard this.
Although Lu Qiyue nodded and laughed, he couldn't help but shiver in his heart.
..................
"Please take a seat!"
Lu Qiyue respectfully invited Taizhong Doctor Huo Yao into the mansion.
Lu Qiyue's official title was much higher than Huo Yao, but he didn't dare to snub Huo Yao, because the Huo family was a big family in Wu County, Jiangdong, with huge power and deep roots in Jiangdong.
Lu Qiyue listened to Hong Wuji's words, temporarily endured this breath, and pretended to be magnanimous, announcing that Lu Zang would be confined to his home for three months, and comforting Min Wuyan with kind words, thus winning a lot of praise.
After Lu Qiyue's house slaves were busy together, the guest and the host sat down, and Lu Qiyue said to Huo Yao: "Has Lu Gong heard of the matter of the dog side?" ”
"Lu Zang?" Huo Yao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "A little military entanglement, it's not significant, Ling Lang is still so young, but he is a cavalry captain, and he is also a young man, hehe, a young man is ambitious." ”
Huo Yao didn't know what Lu Qiyue meant, so he just replied casually.
"Hehe, thank you Lu Gong for your compliment!" Lu Qiyue sighed when he heard this: "The dog is unruly, stubborn, and can be a father, and he should be kind to him, so Qi Yue plans to find a family for him, I don't know what the public will do?" ”
Lu Qiyue, Lu Zang's father and son have not been idle in the past three months, and Lu Qiyue was busy giving Lu Zang Zhang Luo's marriage so that he could "collect his heart and be kind".
In this world, in order to conclude an alliance or consolidate a covenant, the nobles often adopt the form of marriage, and the purpose of marriage is of course to make profits, seek status or economic benefits, or the Tu clan will not decline.
And the Lu family is the gate valve of the scholar family, of course, they have to find the right person, so they took a fancy to Huo Yao's daughter-in-law Lu Huo Wanrou and wanted to marry her.
Huo Yao's daughter-in-law, Lu Huo Wanrou, is talented, spiritual, and looks better than a fairy, one of the four talented women in Jiangnan, one of the top ten beauties in Jiangnan, and Lu Qiyue's father and son have been known for a long time.
Lu Zang is in his early twenties, and Lu Huo Wanrou is twenty-eight years old, and the two are also the same age.
The family background is comparable, the family is right, and the age is comparable, this family affair is naturally a matter of course, at least Lu Qiyue and his son think so.
The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, of course, the matchmaker must come to the door to propose the marriage, but after saying hello in advance, the heads of the two families have some intentions, so it will not be too abrupt.
Therefore, after Lu Qiyue went down to the court, he directly invited Huo Yao to the mansion.
There is also a faint hint of Lu Qiyue's self-esteem, who is Lu Zang? The famous gentleman of Jingshi is uninhibited, but Lu Huo Wanrou is one of the four talented women in Jiangnan and one of the top ten beauties in Jiangnan... Therefore, Lu Qiyue put down his face a little today, and condescended to take the initiative to propose marriage.
After the summer room moved south, there were many northern scholar gate valves who followed the summer room to the south of the Yangtze River, and the Lu family was one of them, and at this time, the northern scholar gate valve controlled the government and constantly suppressed and squeezed out the Jiangnan scholar gate valve, so at this time, Lu Qiyue took the initiative to propose marriage, which can indeed be said to be condescending to the noble.
