Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 521
In the next few days, Shen Zhezi's main task was to wander around the city of Taichung and visit those bigwigs in Taichung one by one.In fact, as an official of his level, he doesn't need to be so grandiose. Even if he pays a visit with due courtesy, the bosses may not be free to receive him.

However, Shen Zhezi had received double instructions from the Empress Dowager and Director Wang, so regardless of whether the other party's attitude was high or low, he would go and tell them that he had come to Taicheng.

Walking down this circle, Shen Zhezi found that there were quite a few Wu people who held prominent positions in the court, not to mention the Lu family brothers in Wu County, and many families in Kuaiji now have a place in Taichung.For example, Ding Tan, who succeeded Bian Dun as Tingwei, surpassed Chu Chong, who was originally very popular, as the high position of Jiuqing.It can also be seen from this that the Yuzhou family is weak overall after losing Yu Liang, the standard bearer.

There is also the Kong family in Kuaiji, and there are also several clansmen who hold prominent positions in Taichung, and each leads the way.

However, these high-ranking officials from the Wu people did not mean much to Shen Zhezi, and it was somewhat inaccurate to divide political factions by region.Among other things, the influence of the Kuaiji Kong family alone has surpassed the boundary between the north and the south.Even though Kuaiji has been impermeable by the management of the Shen family, it still cannot affect the changes in the family's status.

Although Shen Zhezi went to visit these people according to the etiquette, what he got was a neither salty nor bland reception.Of course, he was never so naive as to think that living next door was his own.In fact, there are inherent conflicts of positions and interests between these Sanwu old Wang family and the new family like the Shen family, which is actually more difficult than the communication between the north and the south.

For example, Kong Hun who had followed Shen Zhezi earlier, although he still maintained a rather friendly relationship with Shen Zhezi, it was nothing more than that.Because of his family background, he has his own fixed life trajectory and promotion channels. He neither needs to rely on Shen Zhezi's support, nor overlaps with each other.

Shen Zhezi has neither the need to rule the court nor the strength, so he doesn't feel disappointed by these people's indifference.After all, his family has already occupied the benefits of Kuaiji, and above the court, there is no conflict or intersection between the development paths of each other, just treat each other with courtesy.

What surprised Shen Zhezi was that Lu Ye seemed more enthusiastic about his visit, and even greeted him at the gate of the official office in person, sat down with each other, and let his second son Lu Gu live in the side seat to accompany him.

Lu Ye is now an old man in his 70s. At this age, it is not easy to maintain good health even in future generations, so his face is getting older day by day.He half-lyed on a soft couch, and there were several servants standing beside the couch, some holding soup basins or spit pots, and at the same time, there were things for health such as pine incense, cypress fruit, cinnabar and dried ginseng.

Sitting in the banquet, Shen Zhezi saw that Lu Ye's old eyes were dim and his breath was cloudy, while the person standing next to him was watching the old man closely, as if he was ready to rescue him at any time. Unfortunately, it's not a condolence to see you.

Although it was midsummer, Lu Ye was still covered with a thin quilt, which showed that he was indeed weak.He let out a lazy laugh, and said to Shen Zhezi, "It's not that I'm too polite, it's too old to sit for a long time if I want to meet guests on the couch."

"Mr. Lu, why bother to say such a thing? I'm a young man who is too young to have the courage to meet you. It's an honor to be interviewed."

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he quickly got up and bowed again. Although the old guy did not do less tricks behind his back, but after all, his age and qualifications are there, and he is already buried in loess to his neck. Even if Shen Zhezi wants to care about it, he will only How could he be rude to an old man when he troubled his children and grandchildren?He still has this kind of self-cultivation.

Lu Ye waved his hand to signal Shen Zhezi to enter the table, and then looked at Shen Zhezi with his cloudy old eyes, as if in a daze, and then sighed slowly: "Every time I see me, Qiong Yubi from Wuzhong, at the table, I always feel sad for Mrs. Chunqiu." Hurry, don’t want to spare me. Weizhou’s entry into Taiwan this time is like throwing a stone into a blue lake, which caused quite a stir. Some of my Wuzhong children enter the official ranks, but it’s been a long time since Weizhou’s ability to touch people’s hearts like Weizhou’s Come or see. The young gentleman, this statement is true!"

Shen Zhezi thanked him humbly, but he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in his heart. Could it be that people who are dying are good at their words?Although there was no tense confrontation between his family and the Lu family, conflicts between the old and new sects were inevitable. Although I often interacted with the young children of the Lu family, I did not do anything to repair the relationship with Lu Ye.With Lu Ye's fame and status, why would he flatter himself so much.

Lu Ye rested for a while, and then said again: "It just so happens that Wei Zhou entered the stage recently, if it is a few days later, I'm afraid I will miss this side."

Seeing the puzzled look on Shen Zhezi's face, Lu Gu next to him explained: "My father has already resigned from the court, and he will return to his hometown to rest soon."

Shen Zhezi couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard the words. One must know that at Lu Ye's level, it is the existence of the town. Even if you stay in Taichung and do nothing, the people below will feel more at ease.He saw that although Lu Ye was old, there was no obvious sickness on his face, which showed that his old life still had to be endured for a while.

"Why does Mr. Lu think this way? Right now, Jiangdong is settled, and all the wastes are waiting to be revived. It is the time when the country is desperate for talents, and it is precisely when Lu Gong is in need of a pillar city like Lu Gong. When Lu Gong returns to his hometown at this time, what will the common people expect? ?”

Hearing Shen Zhezi's words, Lu Ye let out a hoarse laugh: "The river is rolling, eternal, and it has never been dry or blocked because of whoever left or left. In the past, when I stayed in the stage, I actually did nothing. I just hope to see with my own eyes that the people in my Wuzhong Township are getting more and more prosperous. Weizhou, you are a young man who is a talented person, and now you have officially stepped into this muddy soup. Although I am ashamed of my age, I am not lacking in self-knowledge. It is indeed old and unusable, so there is no point forcing it to be annoying."

Shen Zhezi was quite moved when he heard this. He actually didn't have a good impression of Lu Ye, but he had to admit that Jiangdong hadn't been broken so far, and the situation could still be maintained. Even if the old guys had their own schemes, they did There is a maintenance work in it.

If they didn't actively participate in the ZTE establishment, it would be a dream to gain a foothold in Jiangdong just by the Qingxu family and Sima Rui, a pony from the Yuefu!Although Wuzhong has always been prone to infighting, there are not a few people like the Shen family who rebel against Wuzong.Even if they can't unite to resist the overseas Chinese, they can swarm each other and ravage the town to pieces.

Of course, this is not enough to show how loyal these Wuzhong old Wang families are. In the final analysis, they also need the righteousness brought by the court to deter those families who challenged them later in the village.It's a pity that he still couldn't guard against it after all, and the Shen family opened up another situation and overtook him in a curve.

"Wei Zhou, you are so sorry, but I actually accept it with shame. For example, a tired bird throws itself into the forest, and an old fox runs to the hills. The old talent is useless, and the old Chinese voice is homesick. It was originally a seaweed by the water, and the love is hard to grow old and die. In the northern dust!"

Speaking of this, Lu Ye's expression became even more lazy, and then he shook his head and sighed: "I am also really old and weak, and it is really a slip of the tongue to say such a defeat in front of Wei Zhou, a handsome young man like you."

Although Shen Zhezi was suspicious in his heart, he waved his hands and said: "Mr. Lu's words are serious. I'm just disappointed that I can't hear more virtuous voices from now on. I can't help but regret it. Seedlings must be planted in fertile soil to thrive. A few words are like rain to me."

Lu Ye kept Shen Zhezi for half an hour, but he just babbled about being old and homesick, and in the end he was really mentally exhausted, so he asked Lu Gu to send Shen Zhezi out.

On the occasion of parting, Lu Gu also said that his old father was not in good spirits recently, and said with emotion: "My father is heavy and lazy. It is unfilial for a son who cannot serve in front of the banquet. I really want to give up this job. Go home and pay homage."

Both the father and son's speech patterns revealed a weirdness, and Shen Zhezi gradually realized after leaving a certain distance.The father and son duo sang and sang, trying to confuse themselves with nostalgia and the like, and there was a high possibility that they had plans to return home.

After having this guess, Shen Zhezi no longer went to visit other people, but went back to his official office to have someone send him the recent personnel changes in Taiwan.After a search, it turned out to be a clue. In the middle and early days of the month, Lu Gu was suddenly given the title of General Guangwu.

The title of general in today's Jiangdong is not prudent and rigorous, and it is not a valuable title. Moreover, this title of general is even lower than Shen Zhezi's original general Zhaowu, so it is not a big deal.However, Lu Gu was born in a famous family in Wuzhong, and he started as an official. He had never held any military position, so it seemed a bit strange to suddenly add such a title.

Nowadays, the sons of the gentry are officials, and they can switch at any time, but Shen Zhezi certainly doesn't believe that Lu Gu suddenly has the ambition to join the army in the near future.The biggest possibility is that Taicheng is bored and wants to seek a foreign job.Then contact the performance of the father and son today, then the Lu family is very likely to want to fight for the position of prefect of Wujun.

After reaching this conclusion, Shen Zhezi couldn't help laughing. It seems that the Lu family finally realized that although the residence in Taichung is noble, it is actually of no great use.He still remembered that in the early years, his family also tried to get closer to these Wuzhong old Wang families, and even proposed that Lu Wan be the internal history of Xuancheng, but this kind intention was regarded as humiliation and rejected.

The Lu family's thinking can't be said to be wrong, after all, their family itself is the leading old Wang family in Wuzhong, and they are not as trapped in establishing a career as the Qiao family, so they concentrate more energy on climbing in the center, and with the Qiao family. The comparison of the door's political prestige is in line with the family's demands.

But this idea has a premise, that is, to ensure that there will be no chaos in the rear, and a solid foundation of hometown prestige is the foundation for his family to be able to compete with the overseas Chinese.In history, although Qiaomen vigorously developed industries in Jiangdong, under the auspices of Director Wang, they avoided Wujun and other regions with strong foundations of Wu people. Therefore, the development of the Lu family in the early stage was not bad. Not only Lu Ye himself, but also Lu Wan , Lu Na and his son also successively held important positions in Taiwan.

But now there is an accident, that is the sudden emergence of the Shen family.It is true that Shen's family's hometown reputation cannot be compared with that of Lu's family, but it has been proved by practical actions that it is not only the hometown reputation that can attract the villagers to join, the interest alliance is even a better method.

Therefore, if the Lu family wants to maintain the previous way of thinking, it will be a bit out of date.Moreover, Shen Zhezi believed that Yu Tan, who was supported by his family and all the villagers, came back to Taiwan and came from behind. He surpassed the Lu family brothers in one fell swoop and became one of the few real powerful men in Taichung. Big touch.

The old nest is about to be copied, so what's the use of being nostalgic for these vacancies in Taichung!
