Chapter 342: Trivia
When he entered the mansion, Lu Bu thought of this, but he had concerns at the time. If these servants are returned to Zhang Rang without saying a word, this is undoubtedly a sign that they want to tear their faces with Zhang Rang.
And now Lu Bu has no firm foundation in Luoyang City, how can he fight with the old eunuch.
So Lu Bu didn't say anything at the time, and wanted to wait for the drama to come and ask his opinion.
Xi Ce glanced outside the hall door, Chen Wei, who was sitting below, understood, and immediately got up and went out to explore, and when he saw that no one was eavesdropping, he guarded the door and nodded at Xi Ce.
"According to my estimate, these servants are definitely not all Zhang Rang's eyes and ears, but a few of them are mixed in."
Xi Ce took a sip of tea and continued: "Maybe you think this is a bad thing, but in fact, it should be a good thing. β
This time, not only Huang Zhong didn't understand, but Lu Bu also wondered a little, why did it become a good thing that someone was watching?
Only the corners of Guo Jia's mouth showed disdain, and the methods of the ten permanent servants were nothing more than that.
Guo Jia was silent, and the joke had to solve the key to it by himself: "Because in this way, what we want him to know, he will know." And what we don't want him to know, he won't even know a word. β
After listening to the analysis of the drama, Lu Bu suddenly woke up, and his mouth suddenly opened.
It's better to let them watch in this way than to be spied on in secret. In the future, when necessary, these transmitted 'intelligence' can also be used to oppose customers and lure Zhang Rang to take the bait.
"General, do you want me to transfer some brothers from the wolf riding camp to protect the safety of the mansion?"
Chen Wei said in a low voice, after all, the servants inside and outside here were all arranged by Zhang Rang, and they should always have some of their own brothers to take care of them.
"This matter is not in a hurry, I am new to Luoyang, and the rules and etiquette in the palace are still very unfamiliar. When I take office, there will be countless eyes on us. Before that, it is not advisable to make too big moves to attract people's eyes and ears. β
Lu Bu temporarily rejected this idea, he was no longer a general of Duliao, and he did not have the power to mobilize and dominate the wolf cavalry battalion. It would be a very troublesome matter to let the soldiers of the wolf cavalry battalion act as the guards in the palace, so that those who have a heart can find out and catch this.
The security of Luoyang City, not to mention that the door is not closed at night, at least there are no large-scale bandits who dare to come here. What's more, there are Lu Bu, Chen Wei, and Huang Zhong in the town, even if there is a hundred outlaws, they can still retreat with Xi Ce and Guo Jia.
"Also, you should be low-key and careful in your actions in the future, so as not to be taken by others. Luoyang, a land of dragons and tigers, seems to be prosperous, but in fact, it is full of murderous machines. Be cautious and walk on thin ice. β
These words were mainly said to Chen Wei, Cao Xing, and Huang Zhong, as for Xi Ce and Guo Jia, they don't need to be told at all, they all know how to behave in this Luoyang City.
"I'll understand!" Several people stood up and clenched their fists in response.
sat down again, there was a blue in the eyes of the joker, and at this time, Lu Bu's temperament had gradually become calm from the most open.
He could not yet decide where the road would lead.
But at the very least, it's a good start.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the following afternoon, LΓΌ Bu went alone to the east of the city.
It's been some time since I came to Luoyang, and I can't say anything if I don't go to visit my uncle Yan Li, who is an official in Luoyang.
According to the position given before, Lu Bu walked all the way and asked all the way, and it took a lot of effort to find Yan Li's mansion.
reported the name of 'Yulin Zhonglang General', and the servants who guarded the door did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly entered the house to report.
When Yan Li heard that Yubayashi Zhonglang was coming to visit, he got up and came out to greet him, and when he saw that it was his brother-in-law standing at the door, he was obviously stunned.
He didn't expect Lu Bu to come at all, because Lu Bu should be in Wuyuan at this time, why did he suddenly come to Luoyang?
Yan Li is now serving as a councillor in the court, and he is subordinate to Guangluxun, and he only has 600 stones.
The Book of Han? The table of 100 officials and ministers contains: Lang guards the door, rides out of the car, and has Lang, Zhonglang, Shilang, and Langzhong, all of whom have no members, as many as 1,000 people.
Unlike the officials of Zhonglang and Shilang, Yilang can participate in the government.
This means that the things discussed in the court can also be heard and expressed by the council.
In addition, the position of the councillor is also relatively leisurely, without heavy official duties, and is generally responsible for the response of the Son of Heaven or subordinates, as well as waiting for edicts and listening to announcements.
After entering the mansion, Lu Bu told Yan Li about his deeds in Luoyang.
After hearing this, the eldest brother of the Yan family did not feel happy because of Lu Bu's official worship of General Yulin Zhonglang, but took the trouble to teach Lu Bu the way of being an official.
"In Luoyang City, especially in the Imperial Palace, you must not act too high-profile, the gun shoots the first bird, and it is the best policy to protect yourself."
"Also, don't get involved in the power and party struggle in the court, now the relatives and eunuchs are fighting fiercely, and they are almost about to reach the realm of 'either you die or I die'."
"You are now a general in the feather forest, when the Son of Heaven travels hunting, you have to protect the Son of Heaven, and everything must follow the Son of Heaven. Don't act recklessly and anger the Holy Face. β
"Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, everything needs to be cautious in words and deeds......"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Yan Li kept chattering, and Lu Bu felt a wave of emotion in his heart, he knew these things, but he couldn't bear to interrupt them, and quietly listened to the eldest brother who was giving him advice there.
The last time we met at the Yan family, to be honest, this eldest brother didn't have a very good impression on Lu Bu. Compared with the second brother Yan Yi's hearty and straightforward, and the fourth brother Yan Xin's gentleness and wisdom, Yan Li gave Lu Bu more of a feeling that he had a very deep city.
It was only today that Lu Bu understood that if he wanted to survive in peace and stability in the government and the opposition, it was not enough to see the situation clearly, but also to have his own value and the thoughts that others could not fathom.
Feeling that genuine care, Lu Bu looked at the cold-hearted uncle who was close to him, and thanked him: "Thank you for your advice, Bu has been taught." β
The two chatted for a while, and Lu Bu saw that it was not early, so he got up to say goodbye.
Yan Li didn't leave him to eat in the mansion, Lu Bu was on duty in the palace, and the two should keep a certain distance in the future.
At the door of the mansion, when Lu Bu walked down the steps, a handsome young man in Confucian clothes walked up with steps.
Lu Bu looked down at him, and he looked up too.
"Nephew Yan Jian, I've seen my uncle."
The young man recognized Lu Bu, took the initiative to speak out of politeness, and stood in place, judging from his expression, there seemed to be a trace of timidity.
Lu Bu nodded and asked with a smile, "Are you back from school?" β
His eldest nephew is amazing, studying in Taixue.
What is Taixue?
During the period of Emperor Wu, one of the 'three strategies of heaven and man' mentioned by Dong Zhongshu was: May Your Majesty prosper Taixue and place the Master to support the people of the world.
