Chapter 53: The Gamble of the Ages

Zheng Xuan is a god of scriptures, yes, he has indeed been worshiped by most of the scholars of the ancient scriptures and the modern scriptures, and his status in the Confucian forest is not an exaggeration to describe it with the words transcendent sainthood.

If you can have some relationship with him, your reputation and status in Shilin will be different from the past, and you can even wander between the ancient scriptures and the modern scriptures without any barrier.

But if you want to enter the office, it is inconvenient to get close to him, and you need to know that all the protégés, former officials, fathers and sons, and relatives in the five suits of the party members are not allowed to enter the office.

Although Zheng Xuan was involved in the party because of Du Mi, he is not a source party member, and his protégé can be an official according to reason, but after all, some things cannot be completely calculated so clearly.

It's just a student, but if you get close to him, it is really very dangerous for people who want to enter the career, which is basically equivalent to cutting off the career.

Lu Zhi took a deep breath, and secretly said in his heart that this junior brother deliberately did not give himself face!

He couldn't say it bluntly and didn't let Liu Jian get started, so he found such a lame reason.

and deliberately said that his daughter was ugly, is this a clear way to let Liu Jian deliberately say bluntly to let you refuse?

Looking back, Liu Jian didn't give you face, but it wasn't that you rejected Liu Jian, and it wouldn't be bad to say it to your fellow disciples!

Liu Jian didn't speak, he just looked at Zheng Xuan with a kind smile on his face, and then looked at Zheng Yi beside him, and suddenly an idea came to his heart.

Isn't he testing himself again?

If you really test yourself, then you will be in the trap, but it will be a great loss!

Looking at his appearance, shouldn't he be deliberately shabu himself?

But no......

If I remember correctly, during the Yellow Turban Uprising, because the imperial court realized that the Yellow Turban Uprising would bring major disasters, in order to prevent the party members from colluding with the Yellow Turbans, all the party members in the previous second party rebellion were pardoned, and this must have included Zheng Xuan's.

But after all, there is still a period of time, can it be said that there is still something in history that has not been clearly recorded?

Or is history different from what it used to be, and some trajectories have changed somewhat?

Could it be that before the Yellow Turban, the court probably already predicted the precursors of rebellion and chaos in the states, so they had already begun to release the party members one by one?

Or maybe Zheng Xuan belongs to the great Confucianism who was implicated by Du Mi, and is respected by both the ancient Wenjing and the modern Wenjing, and more importantly, he is not a fan of the family and is not a real threat to the imperial court, and Liu Hong did think about the vacant power in the imperial court after the death of Duan and Cao Jie, and wanted to rebalance?

Or is it that Xianbei's victory affected the pattern of the northern part of the imperial court, and also made Liu Hong see the latent internal troubles, so he rearranged them?

Thinking of this, Liu Jian had a guess in his heart that Zheng Xuan might really be testing himself.

Test yourself to see if you really want to overcome the bias of temperament and the blindness of material desires!

But what if Zheng Xuan didn't deliberately test himself, but deliberately refused? Then naturally, if you want to respond, won't you be the one who is delayed?

Wait, but if I really delay myself, I may not delay his daughter!

Everyone is hard to fight, and the jade is burned?

And his daughter, isn't she really ugly?

But looking at the faces of Zheng Xuan and Zheng Yi, it seems that they are quite similar to that, not ugly, the daughter of the Zheng family shouldn't be so bad, right?

But this may not be, in case Zheng Xuan's wife looks very strange, and his daughter follows her mother......

Either way, it's a big gamble!

If you win, you will get a huge profit!

If you lose, you will lose a lot of time!

Between the lightning and flint, Liu Jian combined what he knew in this world and future generations, and probably figured out a clear idea!

Promise!

Bet!

I bet that Zheng Xuan would not make such a joke about his fellow apprentices, and I bet that he should have received some kind of release and promise from the imperial court at this moment!

If you really win the bet, you will be Zheng Xuan's son-in-law, and like Zheng Yi, you will become an upright descendant of Zheng Xue, who has both ancient and modern scriptures, and you can be respected left and right!

Once he wins, he will have the qualifications and status to recruit those famous wise men and strategists in the future! Instead of just recruiting heroes like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!

But if you lose...... Then I'm waiting two years to join the company...... Although there is not much time, I recognize it!

Zheng Xuan will definitely be released as a party member in the end, and this official will not be two years late!

But Zheng Men's identity as a son-in-law can't wait for two years!

With this identity alone, he himself is uneducated, and Zheng Xuan will definitely push him to the list of 'celebrities'!

As long as he wants to, there is no one in the world that he cannot recruit.

At that time-

I, Liu Jianwu, have broken Xianbei in the north, killed his Khan, and solved the great military exploits of the Han Dynasty for decades of strong enemies, comparable to Gongsun Zhan, Sun Jian and other famous generals in the late Han Dynasty! All the warriors in the world are served!

The text has the title of Lu Shangshu's protégé, Zheng Kangcheng's son-in-law, and one of the descendants of Zheng Xueyan's faction.

The name of civil and military is compatible, and all the warriors and scholars in the world look forward to it, where can I not stand up?

In the future, if you can confirm the name of the Han clan in the Zongzheng Mansion...... What will be the appeal of my Liu?

Thinking of this, he saw Liu Jian stand up from the spot, bow to Zheng Xuan, and say, "Dare to ask Uncle Shi, I don't know what the character and knowledge of my sister is?" ”

Lu Zhi turned his head to look at Liu Jian in surprise.

Lu Yin also grew his mouth in surprise.

Is this kid crazy? He asked what this was for!

He doesn't want to be an official anymore?

Dan Khan Mountain's great achievement, can he stand in vain?

Zheng Xuan was also stunned on the spot.

He didn't seem to expect that Liu Jian would actually make such an answer.

When he was young, Fang listened to Zheng Xuan slowly speak:

"My daughter is ugly, but she has a good personality and a dignified and gentle character, as for knowledge......"

Zheng Yi on the side finally spoke: "Since the sister is from the Zheng family, her knowledge is naturally unusual, and Liu Jun doesn't need to worry about this." ”

Liu Jian took a deep breath.

He said to himself, okay, I'll bet! I admit that I lost the bet!

Everything else is good, but this is the appearance...... Ugly ......

But Zheng Xuan's father and son are both thick-eyed and big-eyed, how ugly can your daughter really be?

Okay, I'll bet on this too, betting on Zheng Xuan is tricking me!

Liu set an example for Zhuge Liang today.

Thinking of this, I saw Liu Jian salute Zheng Xuan and said: "Although the Zheng family has a woman who is ugly, she is very virtuous, and Liu Jian is willing to pray for a wife." ”

"Cough, cough, cough!"

When Lu Zhi heard this, he felt his chest suddenly suffocate.

An indescribable feeling of blockage weighed heavily on his chest like a big rock, making him feel an indescribable discomfort.

But the matter has come to this, and Liu Jian, this kid, has to be willing to jump into the circle under Zheng Xuanbu with his eyes closed, and Lu Zhi can't stop it if he wants to.

It's a pity that the work of going out to conquer the outside of the fortress is afraid that it will be ruined in an instant.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhi suddenly said to Liu Jian: "Deran, there is a way that is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, marrying is a big matter, how can you not show your parents?" ”

Liu Jian suddenly realized and said: "What the master said is that it was the apprentice who spoke out about Meng Lang, and this matter still needs to be taught to Yan Jun's mother." ”

Zheng Xuan stroked his beard and laughed: "This matter is also." ”

……

Subsequently, Liu Jian accompanied the group to talk for a while, and then said goodbye and went home, and Lu Yin sent Liu Jian out instead of Lu Zhi.

After Liu Jian's back disappeared into the hall, Lu Zhi's smile slowly disappeared all of a sudden, and the green tendons on his forehead seemed to be beating, and his face was angry.

Then, I saw him slowly turn his head to look at Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan was still smiling and brushing his beard, looking at the direction where Liu Jian disappeared, as if he was thinking about something.

"Old thief!"

Lu Zhi's voice came from the side, his voice trembling slightly, as if he was suppressing something.

Zheng Xuan turned his head in surprise and looked at Lu Zhi.

You are a father-in-law, we are from the same school, and you actually scolded me?

"We are also from the same school, and we were also under the same teacher back then, and we knew each other, why are you deliberately here to harm my apprentice today?"

Zheng Xuan wasn't angry, he just rubbed his hands and said, "How did I hurt your apprentice?" Could it be that being a son-in-law to the Zheng family has insulted his senior brother? If you really think so, then I'll have to talk to you about it. ”

Lu Zhi was so angry that he almost crushed his steel teeth: "If my disciple is really determined to become a generation of Confucian sect masters and want to live for generations, it is naturally the best to be your son-in-law of Zheng Kangcheng, but you and I both know that he is not here!" ”

Zheng Xuan laughed: "You know this, but I don't know, he is your apprentice, what does he think, how do I know?" ”

"You, you came all the way from Qingzhou to kill me?"

Seeing that Lu Zhi was really a little nervous, Zheng Xuan knew that at this moment, he couldn't tease him anymore.

"Alas......"

Zheng Xuan nodded Lu Zhi vigorously with his finger: "Zigan, the authorities are confused, what are you asking me to say about you?" Could it be that I, Zheng, am in your heart, an incompetent person who really can't think things clearly? You see things today, but your little apprentice hasn't seen it yet! ”

"Oh?" Lu Zhi's expression instantly became solemn: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zheng Xuan stretched out his hand at Zheng Yi, and then saw him deliver a roll of silk silk to Lu Zhi.

"Let's take a good look."

Lu Zhi stretched out his hand to open the silk silk, just glanced at it, and was immediately dumbfounded: "This is the Ting Wei Ribbon?" ”

Zheng Xuan stroked his beard and turned his head to look out of the door.

"Actually, what the old man said was just a joke, but after listening to the child's answer, the old man really intended to accept this son-in-law."
