In the courtyard, Huangfu Song and others held a feast for Lu Zhi's safe release from prison to celebrate him.

"Brother Zi, this cup is congratulating you for getting out safely." Huangfu Song raised the lamp and saluted Lu Zhi opposite.

"The old man was able to escape because of your great efforts." Lu Zhiyao saluted everyone present, raised his head and drank the wine.

Lu Zhi has experienced this prison disaster and looks even older. The temples are pale, and there are endless vicissitudes in the eyes, as if they have seen through the world. After thanking everyone, he raised his lamp again and saluted Lu Yao at the first place: "Mr. is talented, the old man has now been removed from his official position, and only Mr. Jing has a cup of chat to express his gratitude." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Lu Yao picked up the wine cup and did it first as a respect.

"Sir, it's unreasonable. said that it was good to rescue General Lu. Old General Lu ended up like this. Yuan Shao smacked the wine cup heavily, obviously very dissatisfied with what Lu Yao did.

"Why did Brother Ben say that?" Cao Cao was surprised: "Sir's move is to retreat into advance, causing the saint to make a decision on the spot, which is rare." Zhang Rang the old thief could only give up. It's all the work of the gentleman. ”

Yuan Shao snorted heavily, got up and brushed his sleeves and left, seeing that everyone present looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

Lu Yao was not surprised.

Yuan Shao is just a concubine. Yuan Shu is the heir. In order to seek a future, Yuan Shao has always been secretly committed to helping the so-called party members get out of trouble, so as to raise hope. This time to rescue Lu Zhi, he spared no effort to win over the ministers.

Lu Zhi was originally an old minister in the DPRK and China, and his reputation was extremely high. He was going to be close, but Lu Zhi was released from prison and was stripped of his official position. He couldn't borrow the momentum, how could he not be annoyed that Lu Yao couldn't rescue Lu Zhi Quansu Quanwei.

These are all analysed by the historical emperors at the forum of the previous generation. Lu Yao watched it as a pastime at the time, and he thought it was interesting and kept it in his heart. Now I use it.

Yuan Shao flicked his sleeves and left, and the others did not stay for long, and ended the banquet hastily. As the host, Chun Yuqiong arranged Lu Zhi's accommodation and retired.

"General Lu." Seeing that there was no one left and right, Lu Yao said openly and fairly: "I failed to keep the position of veteran General Lu, although Guzhou is ashamed, he does not regret it." ”

Lu Zhi was surprised and asked, "Could it be that Mr. Fei has another idea?" ”

Lu Yao smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's just a matter of spending more time." ”

"What's the explanation?"

"The Ten Standing Servants rely on the Holy One to be unscrupulous. Today, the saint has no intention of ruling the government and is resigned to it. However, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the saint was also afraid of the instability of the imperial court. As long as the ministers oppose it, the Holy Lord will pardon General Lu. Lu Yao said truthfully.

Lu Zhi pondered for a moment and said with relief: "Yes, although the saint has no intention of government, he is also concerned about the safety of the society. If the ministers oppose it, they can only compromise. Sir, you might as well speak up. It's not because I'm afraid that the old man will die in prison, right? ”

"Of course not." Lu Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately explained: "Now that the traitor is in charge, there are ten permanent servants inside, and there is a foreign general He Jin outside. General Lu is strong and upright. Don't look at today's ministers pleading for you, it's just to oppose Zhang Rang. If the old general continues to stay in the DPRK, it may be difficult to protect himself. Why not take a step back and be an idle crane? ”

Lu Zhi was silent.

Lu Yao's words spoke to his heart. Looking back on his life, as Lu Yao said, he has made meritorious contributions, and he has offended many people because of his fortitude and integrity. In the past, they made friends with Cai Yong, Li Xun and other great Confucians, but they were rarely close to other important ministers. In prison this time, if it weren't for Lu Yao threading the needle and talking about what to do, Yuan Shao and others lobbied the ministers everywhere, I am afraid they would really die in prison.

"If the old general is unwilling to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, Guzhou has a territory in Zhuya Prefecture, and he needs a Dinghai god needle like the old general. If the old general does not give up, Guzhou is willing to hand over full authority to the old general. Lu Yao saw that the fire was coming, and immediately said his true purpose.

Lu Yao knew that he had been appointed Captain Zuo of Xiyuan, and he had to manage the situation in Luoyang before the start of the battle against Dong, so as to lay a foundation for future advantages. In this way, Xanadu Town can't take care of it. Xun Yu has not heard from him for a long time, and it is already difficult for Ding Yan to manage the increasingly powerful Xanadu Town alone. Lu Zhi is both civil and military, and he is old and respectful, and he is the best candidate for him to sit in Xanadu Town after he leaves.

"You are trying to keep the old man, just so that I can work for you?" Lu Zhi seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

"I don't dare to serve properly, I just ask the old general to take care of the territory for me." Lu Yao calmly faced Lu Zhi's gaze without flinching.

"Uncle Lu, the lord of my family is majestic and strategic, and the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment, and he is worthy of the name of paradise. Although Zhuyazhou lives overseas, it is not inferior to the Central Plains under the rule of the lord. In just a few months, tens of thousands of people were born. If Daddy returns to Beijing, Zhao Ji will also persuade Daddy to return to Paradise Town with us to settle down. It doesn't matter if you're a good person or not. Cai Yan came over and became a lobbyist for Lu Yao.

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing. The old general might as well go and see it in person, and then know if he is lying or not. Lu Yao took out three low-level teleportation talismans and handed them to Lu Zhi and Cai Yan.

"Okay, what's the matter with the old man going to see the paradise." Lu Zhi quickly took the teleportation charm, and then took the pen and ink handed by Cai Yan, and wrote the words Xanadu Town on the teleportation charm.

Not long after, the three of them appeared in the Lord's Mansion of Xanadu Town.

"Old general, please." Lu Yao led the way, and it didn't take long for him to meet Ding Yan at the gate of the lord's mansion who rushed to hear the news.

Knowing that the lord had brought Lu Zhi, an important minister in the court, Ding Yan was solemnly respected, and followed behind with a respectful and respectful commentary.

Out of the Lord's Mansion, Lu Zhi changed color slightly. As far as the eye can see, although it is already night, the streets are still crowded. Everyone has a smile on their faces, and they walk into the shops along the street from time to time to buy. Whenever someone comes out, they carry something more or less. Even Luoyang, the capital of Beijing, rarely sees such a situation.

Lu Yao was also a little surprised at the moment. Private ownership has taken root in Xanadu Town. Private business is thriving, and it will take at least a month to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people, which he expects is much ahead of schedule.

"Thanks to the three of General Zhou Long." Ding Yan explained with a smile: "The Yellow Turban Thief Chief is the leader, and the Yellow Turban Thief Kou here is gone. The three generals led the army to conquer and suppress it, and captured countless prisoners, many of whom were skilled craftsmen and broken merchants. Thanks to them, there are dozens of shops in the town, covering various industries of people's livelihood, which has greatly promoted the prosperity of the town. After a pause, he turned to Lu Yao with admiration: "In addition, it is all about the foresight of the lord." During this time, countless captives were sent to each mountain. These people were bewitched by the Yellow Turban thieves and rebelled, and with a small favor, they returned to the town with all their hearts. This is where we are today. ”

"It's hard work." Lu Yao solemnly clasped his fists and saluted to express his gratitude.

"If the lord can ask the great sage to help, the public will be grateful and willing to abdicate and make way for the sage." Ding Yan said as he looked at the expression on Lu Zhi's face without a trace.

Lu Zhi couldn't guess what Lu Yao and the others were thinking, and said with a hearty smile: "The old man has no place in Beijing, and I hope that Mr. will take him in." ”

Lu Yao's heart suddenly relaxed, and he was in a good mood: "Being able to get the help of the old general is like a tiger with wings." ”

Saying that, he wasn't sure if Lu Zhi was doing this or not. System message, didn't come.
