Chapter 25 Master Lu wants to accept a disciple
Lu Deming was also surprised by Luo Yan's sudden visit.

After all, it has not been a day since the two last met.But since Luo Yan chose this time to ask for a meeting, there must be something important to discuss.He waved his hand to ask the concierge to take Luo Yan to the study. At this moment, Master Lu stroked his long beard and thought about Luo Yan's coming.

Soon the sound of footsteps outside the window interrupted Master Lu's thinking. Lu's residence was not big in the first place, and the distance from the entrance to the study was only tens of meters, so naturally it didn't take much time.

When the concierge sent Luo Yan into the study, he left knowingly.When Luo Yan saluted Old Master Lu, he didn't wait for Lu Deming to ask about his purpose, and said, "I really need Master's help for this visit."

"Oh? There is something troublesome about Jin Zhi, why don't you come and listen to me." Luo Yan's honest and blunt request for help has aroused Master Lu's interest, but in his opinion, it must be something big, after all, Luo Yan It's probably a big deal for Yan to ask for help without asking him.

"Actually, speaking of this matter, the master may still be snubbed, but at this point, I'm afraid there is no other way." Luo Yan's words were still a bit veiled.

"Oh? Could it be that the little friend is short of money? It's okay, the old man will let the mansion give it to the little friend." Master Lu's brain opening made Luo Yan feel helpless, and quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"It's not about this matter, but I want Mr. Zheng to correct some of the boy's articles." Luo Yan could only explain half of the reason for coming.

"Oh, I'm afraid it's not as simple as that. If you just read a few articles, you're not the kind of person who comes to my house late at night." Lu Deming was obviously not deceived by Luo Yan's answer.

"Well, there are indeed other things. It's just that I have to wait for the master to finish reading the article before I can say these things." Knowing that his purpose had been seen through, Luo Yan had no choice but to answer shyly.

Seeing Luo Yan tell the truth, Master Lu became interested in what Luo Yan said.

Luo Yan took out a stack of manuscripts from his chest, held them in both hands, and respectfully sent them to Lu Deming.

The words on the manuscript are very large. Luo Yan deliberately wrote them big in order to take care of Lu Deming's old age and poor eyesight, so it took a lot of paper to finish.After receiving the manuscript, Old Master Lu sat on the chair behind the desk, and began to seriously read the "Book of Quan" that Luo Yan spent a long time copying out.

Luo Yan still sorted the articles according to the order of the original "Book of Quan".Therefore, the short "Preface" was the first thing Master Lu read.This is to show the purpose and significance of writing these things, which can be said to be outlined in the entire "Book of Rights".

Master Lu couldn't help nodding his head in praise after reading this short preface.Having experienced three dynasties, he naturally understands the entanglement between military affairs and benevolence and righteousness, but now many people are making a fuss out of context, but in the end it is not as clear as a teenager.

Turning the page, what you see is "Heart Technique". "Mind Technique" can be used as the first chapter of "Book of Quan", and its value is not just to bluff people.This involves a series of things such as combat preparations, war goals, military management, tactics, and strategies.To say that it is a simplified "On War" is an insult to its time, but this article appeared about 900 years earlier than "On War".

How can an article that can make a generation of Wen Zong like Ouyang Xiu wow, how can it not impress Old Master Lu.Although he has never participated in the military, after so many years, he has read a lot of military books and met many generals who led troops to fight. He is still very clear about many things in the army.Now that the article Luo Yan gave him is released, it is unknown how many people will invite him to be a guest.

As for the following "Legal System", "Strength" and "Offensive and Defense", all of them made Mr. Lu acclaimed.

The military books I have read over the years and the manuscripts brought by Luo Yan are confirmed by both sides, which on the contrary reflects the brilliance of Luo Yan's manuscripts.

Mr. Lu's browsing speed while reading and savoring the article is obviously very slow. After reading all the articles, more than an hour has passed.Even if Luo Yan sat on the chair and watched Master Lu's movements, his eyes were a little sour.

Such a quiet atmosphere finally came to an end when Master Lu turned the last page, then patted the table and applauded repeatedly.

Seeing Master Lu's expression, Luo Yan naturally knew that he was sure of what he wanted to ask him, so he said to Lu Deming with a smile: "This is my idea after studying hard in the Secretary's Department for ten days. I hope you can give me your advice."

Lu Deming said angrily: "You boy, are you sincere and angry. There are such good articles after ten days of hard study. I have been studying hard for decades, but I don't see one." It was clearly annoyed at Luo Yan's words that were not modest .Luo Yan immediately begged for mercy: "Mr. Xu Shi does not have this ambition, otherwise why would he not be able to write such an article."

Lu Deming was provoked by Luo Yan's cheekiness: "I don't know where you learned it from. You are better than the old man in terms of flattery."

Luo Yan chuckled: "It's just self-taught without a teacher."

Old Master Lu stopped laughing, and began to ask Luo Yan seriously: "I have already read this article, so tell me why you came here."

Luo Yan replied very seriously: "I want my master to make a name for me."

"Oh? Have you really thought it through?" Lu Deming had to ask.Although Luo Yan was called to Tianranju during the day, Luo Yan was formally accepted into King Qin's power.But neither side made any further moves, so in the eyes of others, there was no clear answer as to whether Luo Yan would join the Qin Palace.

But if Lu Deming made a move, Luo Yan would be labeled as the King of Qin Party immediately, and he would come from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.

Lu Deming couldn't help worrying. Luo Yan was only in his teens, and his foundation in the officialdom was shallow. It would be too easy for the princes to deal with him.Although the two sides are fighting now, the other party may not care about a pawn like Luo Yan who has no real power, but in the future, once the crown prince succeeds in ascending the throne, Luo Ya will be in danger in retrospect.

"Since the arrow is on the string, I have to send it. The boy is looking after the world at this time. When he wins, he can help the King of Qin share the blame of the scholars. If he loses, he can at least save his life." Luo Yan told his thoughts honestly. Tell Lu Deming.

Hearing Luo Yan's consideration again, Lu Deming was very pleased. Although Luo Yan's actions seemed impulsive, in essence, regardless of success or failure, at least there was no harm to him.For a long time, Lu Deming has been very optimistic about Luo Yan, but these optimisms are only Luo Yan's literary talents.But at this time when dragons are fighting and tigers are fighting, the situation in the court is complicated. Once you take refuge in the forces, if the strategy of the power book is not good enough, it is better to stay with the secretary and save yourself.

Seeing Luo Yan's "Book of Power" today, Lu Deming has a general understanding of Luo Yan's strategy.Can write such an article, how can he be as simple as the surface.Moreover, such a young man with great potential is still in the same camp as himself.Now Old Master Lu really likes Luo Yan.

"It's not impossible to make a name for you, but the old man wants you to do one thing first. If you agree, the old man will help you; if you don't agree, the old man will also take action. But if you don't agree, some things will be bad for the old man Come forward to help you." After thinking about it, Lu Deming gave the answer.

"What's the matter, sir, just say it, as long as the boy can do it, he will definitely agree." Luo Yan said happily when he heard Old Master Lu's answer.

"Don't be so happy first, what I want you to do is to ask you to worship me as a teacher. You have to seriously consider this matter, and I am not in a hurry to ask for your answer. However, what you wrote Tomorrow, I will ask Master Li to transcribe a copy of this manuscript and send it to Shandong. The day after tomorrow, I will let the supervisors read it carefully at the Imperial College. It will only be within three days, and if it is later, there is nothing I can do about it.”

Regarding Lu Deming's sudden talk about accepting apprentices, Luo Yan was still stunned.

Lu Deming said it very solemnly, and although Luo Yan didn't understand it, he generally knew that the matter of apprenticeship was very serious.This is not the kind of teacher in the sheep-herding class of later generations who teaches students one crop after another every year.Some great Confucians only accept a few apprentices for a lifetime, and some who are more relaxed will open a library to teach, but there are still only a few disciples who enter the room.

I have nothing, Lu Deming wants to accept himself as an apprentice, so that he can make his name as much as possible. In this era, having a good teacher is also a way to quickly become famous.But more importantly, there are some things that Lu Deming can block for himself.

Although he has now joined the Qin Palace, his status is very low.Once something happens to him, it is not likely that Prince Qin's Mansion will pay a huge price to help him.But it's different with Lu Deming. As a teacher, it's only natural to help his disciples.But now Lu Deming's identity is not only in the Qin Palace, but also can play a role in front of the rival prince's party.

Thinking of these things, Luo Yan's heart warmed, and he immediately replied: "Boy agreed, the teacher is very kind, I can't repay you, please accept my respect."

Since the Confucian scholar came from the Western Han Dynasty, only the emperors, relatives and teachers of heaven and earth worshiped him. After being born, the Confucian scholar even met local officials and only saluted him.Luo Yan's kneeling down naturally agreed to Lu Deming's request, and let Lu Deming know that Luo Yan understood his painstaking efforts.

After receiving Luo Yan's obeisance, Lu Deming asked Luo Yan to get up: "Okay. The apprenticeship ceremony will be held in ten days when you rest, and I will invite a few friends to come to watch the ceremony."

Luo Yan didn't know anything about these things, so he said directly: "It's all up to the teacher." It seems that in the next ten days, he has to make up for his apprenticeship, otherwise he will make a joke and be kicked out by the teacher. How embarrassing, Luo Yan thought to himself.
