Chapter 1535 Background
Lieutenant Lu always likes to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Even though the Lu family seems to be burning with fire and blooming with flowers, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty has great trust in the Lu family. He is also a Ming Jun Holy Master, but the Ming Jun Holy Master is old and dim. few.
Now that Lieutenant Lu has restrained himself from the Lu family's attitude, with His Majesty's intelligence, he can naturally guess that the Lu family's attitude is that they are not powerful officials and do not form cliques for personal gain.
When Taiwei Lu takes office, he can ask His Majesty for a plaque for the academy or something like that, hold His Majesty's banner, and under the banner of cultivating talents for the imperial court, go back and open an academy, and the talents sent to the court will remember the Lu family's achievements. Kindness can be said to be... From the beginning of the academy, he was a disciple of the emperor.
At that time, the Lu family's future was bright.
If you start playing tricks on the court now and let your majesty feel that the Lu family is greedy, your majesty can still tolerate it while Taiwei Lu is alive. When the Great Zhou is unified, Taiwei Lu will close his eyes. How can such a wise man as your majesty... Is it necessary for the court to have courtiers who truly have deep roots? Absolutely impossible!
The wiser the emperor, the more he likes loyal ministers and dislikes powerful ministers.
Only cowardly and incompetent emperors like powerful ministers.
Is the tree still big and has deep roots? I'm afraid that before I can even take root... I will be uprooted by His Majesty.
Your Majesty is not one of those emperors who have no means and power. Your Majesty is a general... He truly holds the military power in the world. Moreover, the Zhou Dynasty has just been established not long ago, and there are no hidden dangers for the soldiers. It is easy for Your Majesty to remove the powerful ministers. , even the vassal king... Your Majesty cut it off without even saying it, so which vassal king made a waste of money again?
What does the Lu family have now? Are there any soldiers? It's just His Majesty's trust!
Seeing his son lowering his head and keeping silent, as if he was still confused, Lieutenant Lu continued: "Even if His Majesty trusts my Lu family as much as he trusts the King Protector, King Zhen and King Auxiliary, my son... you Don’t forget that we, the Great Zhou Dynasty, are gambling on the country. When the two countries merge, officials must make arrangements. According to your Majesty’s temperament, the title must also be adjusted to achieve a balance between the integration of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom. At that time, it will be the time for my father to retire. What do you choose? An honorable and important minister... he may be nothing in three years, but if you choose a young and promising scholar, there will be unlimited possibilities in the future."
Although Lu Jinxian has reached middle age, he is still a little drifting. It is still very early to think about managing the roots of the Lu family now!
The two countries have not merged yet. After the merger, there will be only so many official positions in North Korea and China. Can we not adjust them?
Maybe His Majesty will conduct another major assessment.
After His Majesty ascended the throne, he was basically awarded titles based on military merit. Although His Majesty did not touch those titles that were awarded by his ancestors during the Jin Dynasty, he will definitely move them based on merit when the two countries merge. This is for sure.
Once the two countries are merged, they will form a new country. Naturally, the new country will have to re-discuss merit and be awarded titles, and officials will be appointed according to ability. Lieutenant Lu knows His Majesty well and knows that His Majesty is a wise king who uses people according to their talents, so His Majesty continuously The Bai family suppressed him and did not blindly give him an official position or a title.
Are their Majesty reluctant to part with the title? That's not the case...the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty has a vast heart that is beyond the reach of ordinary people. He will never begrudge the title. He has not taken any action, fearing that he is waiting for the merger of the two countries.
After all, others thought that when the country was betting on winning or losing, it was a desperate move by Yan State, but Lieutenant Lu knew... This was something that their Majesty had already agreed with the Emperor of Yan State and the Regent of Yan State.
Your Majesty always takes one step at a time and sees ten steps ahead. I am afraid he has already thought about it...
After hearing his father's long-term plan, Lu Jinxian didn't argue anything. It turned out that his father had very big plans, and even his son didn't see what his father was planning.
Do you want to grow continuously, or do you want a tree to be big and have deep roots?
Nature is endless...
After calming down, Lu Jinxian admitted his mistake to Prime Minister Lu: "Father... my son knows he was wrong!"
"Lv Yuanpeng has been sleeping for the past few days, so I locked him up in the ancestral hall. I have asked Lu Jin to find out about Wei Bugong. If Wei Bugong and his family are willing, then the marriage will be finalized! When the time comes, The deal is done, so Lu Yuanpeng can't stop messing around!" Lieutenant Lu showed the momentum of the captain of the dynasty and said exactly what he said.
Even when Lu Yuanpeng was asked to marry the eldest daughter of Wei Bugong, the Minister of Household Affairs, Lieutenant Lu felt that his family status was too high. If Wei Bugong had not been suddenly promoted by his majesty, he had no foundation in the court and no family background. Lieutenant Lu would not consider the Wei family either.
What really made Lieutenant Lu make up his mind was his love for Lu Yuanpeng. Now Lu Yuanpeng is a direct descendant of His Majesty in the Bai family army, but Lu Yuanpeng, a child with no brains, really needs the help of a capable father-in-law. , has a powerful wife to control her.
Therefore, after much thought, Lieutenant Lu dragged Lu Jin to ask Wei Bugong.
"Yes! My son has remembered it!" Lu Jinxian responded and stepped back.
Lieutenant Lu held the edge of the table, sat down slowly, and exhaled a long breath...
He never thought that Lu Yuanpeng would fall in love with King Gao Yi. He was still saying before that he didn't know whose family was so unlucky... that he would get such a good wife as King Gao Yi.
Lieutenant Lu smiled and shook his head, feeling a little sad again in his heart...
In fact, if he was not a Taiwei, and had not been so trusted by His Majesty, but now that Lu Yuanpeng was so in love with King Gaoyi, he could show off his old face and shamelessly go to the Bai Mansion to beg for help, even if the two of them combined to quarrel with him. It doesn't matter if his head is buzzing, at least the child Yuanpeng can be satisfied.
However, for the sake of the future of the whole family, he could only wrong his own little grandson.
Soon, Wei Bugong replied to Lu Jin's wife, saying that Wei Bugong and his family said... The Wei family had high hopes for Taiwei's Mansion. If Taiwei's Mansion didn't dislike it, they would naturally be willing to marry Mrs. Lu. Wei married.
In fact, Wei Bugong's wife was a little worried at first. After all, Lu Yuanpeng's reputation was not very good in the capital city, but Wei Bugong's eldest daughter was quite able to handle it...
She said that although Lu Yuanpeng was a well-known dandy in Dadu City, he had never done anything to bully men or women. He was previously involved in a murder case, but Lu Yuanpeng was later cleared of suspicion, and now he has occupied a place in the Bai family army.
In addition, Lu Yuanpeng is the legitimate son but not the eldest son. He is the sixth in the family. He will not have to bear the responsibility for the rise and fall of the Lu family in the future. His brother Lu Yuanqing has an unlimited future. If he can marry him, he will live a good life as a couple. , and in general families prefer younger sons, Wei Bugong's daughter guessed... The reason why the third lady of the Lu family valued her was because she hoped that she could control Lu Yuanpeng if she married.
