The Patriarch of the Lu family nodded, took a mouthful of food with a heavy face, and then said slowly,
"This old man also agrees. My Lu family did not follow the path of eminent learning. From the ancestor Lu Zhi, what I wanted was to leave a name in history and pass down poems and books to the family. The family has to leave!"
"The phoenix still lives on the sycamore tree. Why don't we want to make a party to help and keep the children in the family safe? The change of imperial power is too dangerous, and my family dare not be contaminated, so we can only look for it outside. Now, in the eyes of the old man , the owner of this restaurant meets the requirements!"
Zheng Shanguo had met the head of the Lu family before he came, so he naturally knew the plan of the Lu family, but he was noncommittal before.
In fact, Zheng Shanguo just couldn't pass that hurdle in his heart. No matter how amazing the talent of the world is, he is just a weak champion after all. The Lu family can't vote for it by themselves, so they have to recruit the Zheng family?
This is exactly what Zheng Shanguo was hesitating about, the old Zheng family is shameless!
The reason why the head of the Lu family came out this time was to bring the Zheng family together. He was afraid that his family would be weak. After all, although his family had many scholars, there were few officials and businessmen. I like it.
"Brother Shan Guo, my Lu family has never dared to be a minister of the dragon. What I am afraid of is that the thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. My Lu family only wants to form an alliance with others to protect myself!"
"I know Brother Shanguo won't make a decision lightly. After all, it's a big deal for the whole family, but can you come over with the old man and talk about it first? Even if your Zheng family doesn't rely on it, my Lu family must rely on it!"
Zheng Shanguo looked at the Patriarch of the Lu family in surprise. He really didn't expect that the Lu family would be so ruthless, even if he didn't pull the Zheng family, he would vote for it?
This is not good news for Zheng Shanguo, because it is beyond his control. Could it be that Mr. Zhang, who is known as both civil and military, has a profound background, and has some cards that he doesn't know about?
But just now he has rejected the Patriarch of the Lu family several times. If he continues to refuse, it will make people look too ugly. Besides, it seems that there is nothing wrong with going to see it. As long as he does not express his opinion, who can force him to fail? ?
So Zheng Shanguo, who thought about it clearly, nodded and said,
"In that case, let's go to that village tomorrow, and meet this Mr. Zhang who only knows his name but doesn't know him!"
Now that the matter is settled, the two of them will naturally not say that they will leave immediately. Wouldn't it be a pity if we don't have a good taste of this table of delicious food and the wine brewed by this restaurant, and talk about Fengyue by the way?
Two restaurants, two tables of banquets, different people gathered together, but it ended at about the same time, and they went their separate ways. It may be a kind of coincidence in the dark.
Therefore, when Zhang Nuo, who was wandering around Manzhuangzi the next day, thinking about how to develop the whole city, was found by the anxious Xingben, who reported that the heads of the Lu family and the Zheng family were visiting together, there was always something unreal. a feeling of.
Zhang Nuo didn't know that one of the two families had decided to rely on him, and he didn't know that the battle between him and the Wang family in Taiyuan had completely established his reputation among the five surnames and seven Wangs. He thought these two families were coming to conspire What is it, so I hurried back to my home.
As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he realized that he was in vain. After asking the old man, he found out that they all went to drink tea with the Supreme Emperor.
Zhang Nuo nodded clearly. This group of people had supported Li Yuan at the beginning, and their friendship with Li Yuan was far stronger than that with Li Shimin.
It was precisely because of these thoughts that Zhang Nuo didn't find it strange to hear laughter inside the house before entering the house.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered, he found that Mr. Li was lying on the sofa crookedly, pointing at the two little old men opposite him and laughing.
The two little old men on the opposite side were supposed to be the Patriarchs of the Lu and Zheng families, and they didn't look like the patriarchs of the top-level families at all, not to mention their disheveled clothes and perverse expressions, and even their sitting posture was not as neat as usual.
Zhang Nuo's figure was so conspicuous, he was seen by several people when he first came in, and the three little old men gradually calmed down, it was Mr. Li who took the initiative to introduce as the host,
"This is the Zhang boy you are going to meet. The old man is now able to enjoy a more healthy body in his old age. It is basically thanks to him. If you have anything to discuss or discuss, you can come directly!"
After speaking, he introduced Zhang Nuo to the two Patriarchs. After the ceremony, Zhang Nuo also sat down and waited for the two unexpected guests to explain their intentions.
Chapter 392 The Family's Way Out
The head of the Lu family and Zheng Shanguo saw that Li Yuan had no intention of shy away from it, and Zhang Nuo had no intention of bringing him home, so they knew that today's conversation seemed to be in front of the royal family.
This is a bit different from their previous thoughts, but there is not much difference, because what they did was not a dark operation, let alone forming a party for personal gain, so even if it is put on the table, it seems to be nothing.
Thinking of this, the most urgent Patriarch of the Lu family said directly,
"Master Xiao Zhang, my husband is the head of the Lu family in Fanyang. Although he belongs to the same five surnames and seven kings as the Wang family in Taiyuan, we have focused on academics since the beginning of our ancestor Lu Zhi. Our family motto is self-cultivation. Let the family rule the country and the world!"
"Whether it's court or merchants, for my people, they are just tools to protect the safety of our family. We hope to leave a name in history!"
"But people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. Although our aristocratic family does not want to get involved in the royal family affairs, and secondly, it does not want to confront the court and the people. Mr. Zhang is very talented. Can you teach me a good strategy?"
Zhang Nuo frowned immediately when the Patriarch of the Lu family said this. Is this nima using me as a free consultation?
We didn't know each other before, okay, so we rushed over for a free consultation if we were so confused, do we have to do this job for people in the future?
On the contrary, Li Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he didn't ask the two people why they came here in detail, he only knew that the two people came to look for Zhang Nuo, so he didn't ask further.
But now hearing the meaning of these words, is this going to defect to Zhang Nuo?
This is a great thing for the royal family and the imperial court!
Although he is not in the court now, but because the relationship between father and son is no longer as rigid as before, he knows more about the affairs of the court than when he lived in the palace before.
It's just that he is quite self-aware, basically he didn't say much after he knew it, one was worried that breaking a taboo would tear the gap that was slowly closing again, and the other was because Li Shimin did a good job with the assistance of the courtiers.
However, just because he knew all kinds of things in the court, he knew very well that Li Shimin had already had a headache about the fact that the aristocratic family was too powerful.
Among them, the most worrying thing is the family's meddling in the change of imperial power. As the emperor who really conquered the world with the help of the family, he knows how terrifying the power of the family is.
But the aristocratic family is not a pawn at the mercy of others, not to mention the relationship between the government and the public, just the reputation among the people makes it impossible for the court to find a reason to start.
Also because of this, in fact, from the time when Li Yuan became the emperor to now when Li Shimin is in power, the two generations of emperors have been like hot potatoes to the aristocratic family.
Now that I heard Fan Yang's Lu family's meaning, it seems that they want to withdraw from the court to avoid conflict with the royal family and the court. This is a good thing!
Li Yuan was very happy, but when he turned his head to see Zhang Nuo's unwillingness, he immediately felt annoyed, this damn good thing is ahead, you kid is still not happy?
"Boy Zhang, I want you to come up with an idea. Why are you acting like a bitch? Just say no!"
Zhang Nuo was baffled by Mr. Li's spray, what the fuck, this is obviously something I have suffered, why did I become a coward?
It's just that Zhang Nuo, who was about to go back, suddenly saw Mr. Li blinking secretly, and immediately swallowed his words again.
He and Li Yuan have not known each other for a day or two, and the two are neighbors, they meet almost every day, and even have dinner together every now and then, or every so often, Li Yuan comes over for dinner.
