Retainers? Oh! It's a retainer!

The retainer culture in Chinese history has been there since the Xia Dynasty, and then the Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn, Warring States, Qin (unification), Han, Three Kingdoms, Jin (East and West Jin), Northern and Southern Dynasties (Five Hu Chaohua), Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Song, Yuan, the above dynasties all have the existence of retainers, and after the Ming Dynasty, the retainers disappeared, and the retainers of the "I Daqing" era are not called retainers are slaves, and then ......

Once the family is going to perish, the retainer will either die together, or survive and wait for revenge all the time, far more loyal than the blood relatives, after all, the blood relatives will also be divided into side branches, and the retainer is a family that is ready to follow the master's family for generations.

Feng Zheng and Dong Pengyuan knew what a retainer was than Lu Zhe, and that was a more important figure to a clan (later family and gate valve) than a side branch with family blood.

Lu Zhe said that the person standing next to him in a scribe's uniform was a retainer of the Lu family, and he was the first retainer, so even if Feng Zheng, who was one of the Nine Emperors of the Great Qin, had to fight with Lu Zhe endlessly, he could only show respect appropriately.

What was the first retainer of a family? It is the most relied on figure of the master of the family, and many times the heir of the family can be replaced, but as the first retainer has too many secrets of the family, it is impossible to replace it unless it is death. The heir of the family can sometimes be reprimanded and insulted, but the first retainer of the family must not be insulted, and an insult is definitely a big event.

What was Dong Fei's reaction when he learned that Yan Bi was Lu Zhe's first retainer? He immediately stood up and apologized very shamelessly for what he had just said.

Of course, a retainer is just a retainer, whether it is the first retainer or not, Dong Peng, who is the deputy envoy of the Qin State, cannot say something like "I'm sorry, I was wrong", or even say nothing but salute.

Feng Zheng was thinking about the attitude expressed by Yan Bi, who was Lu Zhe's first retainer.

As long as the eyes are not blind, you can see that Yan Bi is against Feng Zai and Dong Fei...... Or rather, the feeling of the Qin State is very bad. It can be seen that Yan Bi must be a descendant from the Six Kingdoms. Lu Zhe's first retainer was a person who had a bad sense of the Qin State, so a large part of it could also trace Lu Zhe's potential attitude. It's just that Feng Zheng didn't understand whether all of Lu Zhe's retainers and forces were people who didn't have a good impression of the Qin State, and what was the attitude towards the Qin State among the members of the forces under his account.

To tell the truth, Lu Zhe's attitude towards the Qin State is that he has no attitude, he will not deliberately avoid anything because he has a good impression of Great Qin, nor will he be strongly aggressive because of the hostility of some people towards the Qin State.

The current situation needs to be a good storage of Great Qin, and it can even be said that Great Qin needs a strong storage of Great Qin, so no matter what Feng Zheng says, Lu Zhe is "I'll just smile." Don't agree, don't oppose, don't express your position", as for Yan Bi's presence, there is also a special design.

Yan Bi's presence was purely as a "prop" to show the hostility of Lu Zhe's forces to the Qin State, coughing a few times from time to time, Lu Zhe made a wait-and-see posture that wanted to be stopped from speaking, so that Feng Zheng and Dong Fei's "seeing is believing" thought that Lu Zhe was also involved internally, so that Qin Guo made some kind of wrong judgment on Lu Zhe's forces.

In fact, it is quite naïve, after all, anyone can see that Lu Zhe has always been a man of his word in this force. No one believes in the illusion that Lu Zhe is controlled by others.

But it is still necessary to make such an arrangement, not for the sake of cowardice, but simply to show the "immaturity" of a force, which is a ploy in itself.

People who can climb to high positions never have zài stupidity. Because the stupid guy had already been kicked to death by smart people before he climbed to a high position, Feng Zai could see that Lu Zhe was acting, and Yan Bi was a "prop", but Feng Zai was not smart enough to see all the arrangements. guessed and thought of the layer of "really immature forces" was broken.

Since Lu Zhe didn't express his position, then Feng Zheng's purpose was not achieved, but it was obvious that it was impossible to get any results from the first formal conversation. In this case, it is not interesting to talk about the main topic, only to chat for a while and then take the initiative to leave.

"People who are hostile to Daqin have played, but people who have a good impression of Daqin have not yet played." Half of the drama is gone, Lu Zhe is a little pity, but he can see that Feng Zheng really has a set of skills, and he is a very qualified politician.

Yan Biluo looked at his master with some apprehension, and couldn't help asking, "Do you really want to be like that?" ”

The question was about sending troops, not to attack the Qin State, nor to help the Qin army fight the nations, but to send troops to Shu County to help the Qin State resist the invasion of Guiyue and the Qiang people.

Oh, just now Feng Zai had tried to talk about Lu Zhe sending troops to Shu County, and in his words, he seemed to be happy to see Lu Zhe send troops to Shu County to participate in the war, but he just asked for command in his words.

The command of the army, once the command is handed over, is Lu Zhejun still Lu Zhejun? After all, who is the commander in this era, then the army will obey whose orders, and there are not many examples in history of generals rebelling with the army, and those soldiers really rebelled. Because it is natural for soldiers to obey orders, even if they are unwilling to do anything, they can only blindly obey when there is no leader.

The state of Qin demanded that the army sent by Lü Zhe obey the orders issued by the generals of the state of Qin, so it is likely that the army will no longer be "surnamed L", and Yan Bi is worried about this.

"Does the Qin army have a military salary?" Lu Zhe shook his head when he saw Yan Bi, and then asked, "Then do the countries have military salaries?" ”

How could Yan Bi not understand what Lu Zhe meant? In today's world, except for Lu Zhejun, who has paid military salaries to soldiers, the Qin army and the armies of other countries do not have military salaries, and the armies of other countries can still eat public food, but the Qin army has to reach the stage of national mobilization, and in addition to conscripting soldiers, they also have to carry their own food. As long as the Qin State and the other countries did not establish a military salary system for a day, then Lu Zhejun would not be pulled away by anyone who wanted to, but no matter what, Yan Bi could not get Lu Zhe to agree to hand over the ownership of the army, not only to the Qin State, but even to anyone.

"It's unbelievable." Yan Bi used two negative words in a row, and said: "I know that the Lord wants the Qin State to remove the threat of Shu County, so that he can treat the countries and the grassland Hu people wholeheartedly, and I am deeply afraid that after the collapse of the Qin State that fought on the third front, we will become the public enemy of the world." But didn't the Lord think about it? We and the Qin State have long been incompatible, and if we don't make trouble, it's already cheaper for the Qin State, how can we ...... Can you ...... again Alas. ”

Weak? Yes, it is weakness, Yan Bi thinks that helping Qin Guo is a sign of weakness, which will make Qin Guo feel that there is a gap on Lu Zhe's side that can be opened, and it is bound to carry out more schemes, or divide and disintegrate, or infiltrate, in general, it will definitely do that inch-by-inch move, and then there will be endless troubles.

It is not desirable, it is very undesirable, it was not a firm foothold before, and it is okay to treat the Qin State, but it has successively defeated the enemy, and the foundation for standing tall in the world has been there, and at this stage, the battle flag of the Qin State should have been removed from each city and replaced with the flag of the word "Lu", and then the battle flag of the word "Qin" will make the Qin State have illusions, and it is definitely not a good embodiment for the nations.

King? There were many people who wanted to persuade Lü Zhe to become king, and they thought that the threat to survival had become small, and Lü Zhe owned eight counties...... Twelve counties are about to be kings, and they are fully qualified to be kings. Lu Zhe is called the king, then he has enough status to reward the courtiers under his command as if they were nobles, so there is hope for the glory of the ancestors!

Yan Bi is definitely one of the people who wants to persuade Lu Zhe to be the king, he has been hinting in recent days, and Lu Zhe doesn't know if he understands it or not, but Kuaitong has fallen into trouble with him because of this, and the two have quarreled three times, which is quite unpleasant.

The king can reward the marquis, the marquis can only divide the retainers, and the land is actually pitifully small when the feud is divided, according to the habits of the Zhou family, it is not a twentieth rank duke, it should be a duke, a marquis, an uncle, a son, and a man. And now there is an "emperor" who is higher than the "king", so can the emperor crown someone else as a king?

O king, what kind of identity is the king, the tiger is the king of beasts among animals, and in human society, the king is a character who can "be angry, ambush millions of corpses, and bleed and drift", who doesn't want to be in charge of life and death, who doesn't want to be honored to the top?

Yan Bi didn't have the luxury of being crowned king, but he thought that as long as he continued to work hard, he would definitely be qualified to be crowned a marquis, so now that Lu Zhe can clearly tear off the eye-catching "Qin" character military flag, and it's time to be crowned king, why should he continue with such an identity that is not embarrassing or embarrassing!

"Don't worry, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Lu Zhe made a mistake, tofu has not been invented yet, so it still needs to be invented by Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Western Han Dynasty, but obviously Yan Bi's mind is not on this at all, and he doesn't need to explain.

"Lord, what time do you say?" Perhaps because he had no confidence in his heart, Yan Bi deliberately added: "This is everyone's idea." ”

Lu Zhe couldn't and no longer be kind, he drank "bastard", and then straightened his face: "What do you think?" What do you dare to think without my permission! ”

Heck, it has only been less than three years since the first emperor proposed centralized power, and now the courtiers are not anyone's slaves, under the feudal system they have the right to "think for themselves", not the power of the king to "represent" everyone.

Rights and powers, one word apart, have different interpretations.

Yan Bi was not frightened, he was a retainer, and the duty of a retainer was to help his master pick up the missing pieces, so he stiffened his neck: "You can't hesitate any longer, even if you don't call yourself the king, you should replace all the banners of the Qin character!"
