Chapter 251 Each has its own picture

Now the place occupied by Murong Chao is the Shandong Peninsula of later generations. Yan Yanzhi only made a start, and Lu Qiang understood that he meant to go to the navy.

It is indeed a way to provide help to Murong Chao at sea. After all, Lu Qiang does not want to fight head-on with Tuoba Kui or Feng Ba now. Walking from the sea can avoid their eyes and ears.

Feng Ba has become a minister to Tuoba Kui. If he assist Murong Chao with great fanfare, isn't it equivalent to calling a challenge to Tuoba Kui? This involves face problems, so even if Tuoba Kui doesn't want to, he may have to use troops against the Jin Dynasty.

Of course, if Murong Chao can wisely surrender to Lu Qiang, it will be another matter. Unfortunately, so far, Murong Chao obviously has not had this idea.

At the same time, there is also a time problem. Xuzhou is next to Murong Chao's territory and can directly provide all kinds of assistance to Murong Chao. If you go from the sea, you need to go around a large circle to Guanggu. In this way, not to mention the people and hurt money, I'm afraid it's too late to arrive.

So although Yan Yanzhi's plan is good, it is not realistic.

At this time, Sun Hu suddenly said, "I heard that Murong Chao's mother and wife are still in the hands of Yao Xing of the State of Qin. Can your Majesty take advantage of this relationship?"

Is there such a thing?

Lu Qiang was slightly stunned. He really didn't know about it and asked, "What's going on? Lord Sun, please tell me more about it."

"At the beginning, Murong Chao was held hostage in the State of Qin. In order to escape back to the State of Yan as soon as possible, he left his mother and wife and escaped alone. After that, he was not heard that he had brought him back. Now that he came to power, the State of Yan has become fragmented. I'm afraid that he has that heart and the ability."

In order to live in power, he abandons his mother and wife. What's the difference between such a person and a beast?

At this moment, Lu Qiang was a little too lazy to talk to such a person, but in the end, reason overcame emotion. He pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Sun means, but do you want me to ask Yao Xing for Murong Chao's mother and wife?"

Sun Hu found that Lu Qiang's mood was a little wrong and said, "Your Majesty, whether it is the old Yan or the current land of Qin, it is the land of our Han people. I believe that your majesty will take it back sooner or later. So before that, why don't you tolerate such villains?"

"Your Majesty, I agree with Lord Sun's opinion"

"I also agree"...

The three cabinet assistant ministers listened to Sun Hu's words and expressed their support for his idea.

Lu Qiang finally nodded and said, "Then do as Lord Sun said, and order Tan Daoji to act in the Yanmen area. After rescuing Feng Hong's family, I will disclose his identity. I will study Yao Xing and ask him to send people to me."

On the day Sun Hu placed Feng Hong, when the gate was about to close, Zhu Zan, the right servant of the new official, entered the city.

This is Zhu Zan's first visit to Luoyang. He came back with a feeling of admiration. This is the imperial capital of that year! The place where countless Han people dreamed of at midnight is exciting to think about it.

It's getting late. Of course, I can't go to see the emperor at this time. If I had known that he was coming back, the old family who was waiting at the gate three days ago took him directly to the Zhu family's mansion in Luoyang.

Zhu Chaoshi was appointed as the Duke of Changle by Lu Qiang. Although he did not participate in politics, he was a veritable Duke of Xiaoyao.

The Zhu family has never been short of money. As soon as the news that Lu Qiang decided to be in Luoyang, his family chose a luxury house in Luoyang, and then the whole family moved from Jiankang.

Lu Qiang has always appreciated Zhu Chaoshi's cleverness, which is also the main reason why Zhu Zan can always be reused.

Although Zhu Zan's father Zhu Houzhong did not have an official position, he still couldn't help missing him when he heard that his son came back and greeted him with his wife.

Zhu Zan hasn't seen his parents for more than three years. He heard that his parents went out to welcome him in person, which scared him to get out of the carriage early. Then he quickly ran to his parents and looked at his white temples. He didn't say anything and burst into tears first.

As soon as he lifted his robe, he knelt down on his knees in front of his parents and sobbed, "unfilial son, I'm back..."

Jiaozhou is close to the sea, the climate is sultry and humid, and it is blown by the sea breeze every day. Now Zhu Zan has no longer looked like the jade tree in the wind. His whole person has become black and thin, but he is also particularly energetic, especially those eyes, which are black and bright.

Zhu Houzhong was fine. Seeing her baby son become like this, Zhu Zan's mother couldn't help hugging her son and crying.

Zhu Houzhong gently wiped the corners of his eyes and smiled, "Look at you, what do you look like? Don't be afraid of neighbors' jokes. Zan'er is already a senior official in the imperial court. Don't let people say that Zan'er doesn't pay attention to the official body."

Zhu's mother said an andrage, "No matter how big an official he is, he is also my son." Despite this, she still let go of her son and pulled him up from the ground.

I looked up and down again for a moment before saying, "You won't leave when you come back this time, okay?"

Zhu Zan nodded and said, "Your Majesty appointed you as a servant of the Ministry of the Ministry of Public Affairs, and it should be easy not to leave Beijing again."

"Go in! Your uncle is ready for the banquet and is waiting for you to come back!"

The Zhu family is really happy. Zhu Zan entered the center of the country at the age of 30 and is an official with real power. It is really promising.

Zhu Chaoshi is the head of the family. He and Zhu Houzhong have always had a good relationship with each other, so they have never been separated. In fact, in this era, it is normal for them to focus on the head of the family and live together in each room.

When Zhu Zan came back today, Zhu Chaoshi gathered all the direct leaders of each room and welcomed Zhu Zan home together.

Zhu Zan sent his mother back to the backyard before he came to salute his uncle.

Looking at this increasingly mature and heroic nephew, Zhu Chaoshi can be said to have mixed feelings. It can be said that it was his sacrifice that led to Zhu Zan today, but he also knows very well that if he does not follow in Lu Qiang's footsteps, let alone his nephew can become a senior official, his whole family may have to suffer.

After a few simple greetings, they ordered to open the banquet. Everyone has been waiting for a long time. If it's an ordinary junior, it's okay. Zhu Zan will soon enter the official department, and many people in their Zhu family are still white. In the future, as long as Zhu Zan is willing to help, it is not easy for the nephews of the Zhu family to seek an official position. ?

Driven by this mentality, the reception banquet was extremely lively. Uncles and cousins from all sides came forward to toast and seized every opportunity to have a relationship with Zhu Zan.

If Zhu Chaoshi hadn't stopped it in time, Zhu Zan would have been drunk at the banquet.

After the banquet, Zhu Chaoshi invited Zhu Zan and his son to the study. After the servants brought fragrant tea, they were driven down.

Zhu Chaoshi talked with Zhu Zan about his experience as an official in recent years, and after imparting some of his own experience, he suddenly changed his words and said, "Zan'er, what do you think of your majesty's opening this time?"

Zhu Zan knew that his uncle had something to say to him. In fact, he had felt that those uncles and brothers were too enthusiastic. Especially the experience of officialdom in recent years has made him know what to say and what not to say.

After ponder for a moment, he said, "Throughout looking at your majesty's starting career, it is not difficult to see the people around your majesty today. Your majesty's intention to reform nine grades to get an official for a long time, and through the handling of this matter, you can see your majesty's foresight and nephew's foolish opinion that as long as you follow your majesty's footsteps, you can protect my Zhu family for a long-lasting. ”

Zhu Chaoshi was gratified and a little unwilling to say such a thing to his nephew.

"Zan'er should know that no matter how powerful the country is, it cannot do without the support of the rich families, and Your Majesty's move will undoubtedly completely break with them. In the long run, won't it endanger the stability of the country?"

Zhu Zan smiled and said, "Auncle, my nephew said nothing wrong. Have many people come to you recently? There should be a lot of our Zhu family, hehe! Forgive my nephew, my uncle is fascinated by some authorities."

"Since your majesty's administration, the land reform has been carried out, freeing countless serfs from the rich families of scholars and reintegrate them into the jurisdiction of the government. In recent years, the influence of the rich scholars has been minimized. May I ask what other ability to oppose your majesty's new policy?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Zan's expression suddenly became solemn and said in a low voice: "If your nephew expects it well, Your Majesty is watching and watching the attitude of the officials on this matter."

Zhu Chaoshi has been immersed in officialdom for decades. Of course, his mind is more far-reaching than Zhu Zan. As Zhu Zan said, he is fascinated by the authorities, because this is related to the vital interests of the Zhu family, and he can't help sinking into it.

And Zhu Zan's words undoubtedly poured cold water over his head, making him wake up.

nodded and said, "Zan'er still thinks far, but Zan'er, you can't ignore your cousins!"

Zhu Zan couldn't help sighing from the bottom of his heart and said it for a long time. As a servant of the Ministry of officials, if I dare to follow personal feelings, I'm afraid that I will be directly beaten back to my original shape by the emperor.

I was about to say something, but Zhu Chaoshi suddenly patted his head and said, "Look at me, I'm really confused. I'll give up this matter. If anyone wants to be an official in the future, let them take the exam by themselves."

Zhu Zan was laughed at by his uncle's behavior, but this time he laughed from the bottom of his heart.

It seems that tonight is destined to be an unusual night. Xie Wangzu's house also came a guest. Speaking of this guest, although he is also Xie's family, his reputation is much higher than Xie Wangzu's.

It is the grandson of Xie Xuan, the hereditary Kang Legong and Xie Lingyun.

Xie Lingyun is rarely talented. After becoming an official, he also served as Liu Yi's secretary and joined the army. Later, Er Liu fought, and Lu Qiang magically emerged in Jiangling, so he resigned and went home to send love to the landscape.

Xie Lingyun came to Luoyang this time at the invitation of Xie Wangzu, and also for the ancestral system of Jiupin Zhongzheng, but he did not intend to assist Lu Qiang, because Lu Qiang suppressed Buddhism too much, and he was a devout Buddhist.

Xie Wangzu invited Xie Lingyun to come, but he really wanted to invite him to serve, because Xie Wangzu always felt that his power was too weak in the court, and there should be a few more Xie clan behind him to wave the flag and shout for himself.

However, Xie Wangzu also has a headache about Xie Lingyun's worship of Buddhism. He is also afraid that once he introduces Xie Lingyun to the emperor, Xie Lingyun will debate Buddhism with the emperor in a deep and shallow way, which will be a bad dish.

Xie Wangzu's mansion was sent by Lu Qiang. I heard that it was also the residence of a senior official of the previous dynasty. It covers a vast area and is beautifully decorated, with pavilions and eaves and tiles, which can't be seen at a glance.

It can be seen that Lu Qiang is enough to take care of this father-in-law.

After Xie Lingyun saw it, he couldn't help falling in love with it.
