"Son of Lu Shangshu?" Chen Xi looked curiously at this young man who was about the same age as Lu Xun. This boy was unknown in this era, but very famous in the era of the Ninth Grade Zhongzheng. He was one of the founders of the clan system and a master of political power struggle.
"Well, Ziqian and Ciming and I were classmates and have known each other for a long time. When Ziqian passed away, Xun Gongda, the grandson of the Ciming clan, was still in Chang'an, so he entrusted his son to Ciming to educate him." The old man shook his head and said.
"..." After a moment's thought, Chen Xi knew who the teacher he was talking about was, Chen Shi, his great-uncle. However, there were so many apprentices that no one knew who the teacher in front of him was.
"Of course I went from Liaodong to visit Ciming, and Ciming asked me to take him to Mount Tai." The old man looked helpless when he mentioned the child next to him, "I should have gone to Mount Tai to visit General Zhendong, but unfortunately, in my opinion, the Zi family He still needs to be disciplined for a period of time, otherwise General Zhendong may be dissatisfied."
Chen Xi had already guessed the identity of this person at this time, and also understood why Xun Shuang asked Wang Lie to bring Lu Zhi's son to Mount Tai, because Liu Bei can now be regarded as Lu Zhi's best disciple. In ancient times, a teacher was like a father. Naturally, handing over his son to Liu Bei was the most correct plan.
"I think this kid is very smart and energetic. How about leaving it to me to discipline him." Chen Xi stared at Lu Yu, whose eyes were rolling. This kid had gone through the five monarchs of the Wei Kingdom from nothing, and finally created something. The Lu family, one of the five surnames and seven families, is a super power-struggle politician. Compared with political struggles, this one is definitely a super master.
As for the old man's unwillingness to declare his family status, Chen Xi would not expose it. The old man should do whatever he should. Now his goal is to get this Lu Yu. This is a real manipulator.
Wang Lie was obviously hesitant. He kept Lu Yu by his side, and the main reason why he kept the rest of the Lu family in Taishan was that Lu Yu was a little wilted and rotten. Although he was a filial and loving man, his character may have been caused by the injuries he suffered when he was a child. There's obviously something wrong with being overly stimulated. You may seem like a sunny person, but there's always something dark about you.
Wang Lie was responsible for Lu Zhi and hoped to bring Lu Yu back to the right path. If nothing else, at least he would not be as bad as he is now, killing people with a borrowed knife, oppressing others by taking advantage of his situation, driving away tigers and devouring wolves, and going to bed to smoke. Not many of them learned the right way. Thinking of this, Wang Lie became angry. Is this how Xun Shuang educated Lu Zhi's son?
In short, Lu Yu is very abnormal. Wang Lie's plan is to take him with him and educate him well, at least not to let Lu Yu's nature become sinister. For now, Lu Yu can only be said to be an instinct of self-protection. , my temper is not bad, but I experienced a lot when I was a child...
But it’s normal to think about it. For a boy whose parents died when he was seven or eight years old, and his two older brothers died when he was less than ten years old, and then took care of his sister-in-law and nephew, it would not be easy for this child to grow up normally, let alone develop the scattered Lu family. grow.
"I'm worried about something, tell me. Maybe I can help you solve it." Chen Xi said with a smile. Lu Yu is indeed not bad, but it depends on who he compares with. The underhanded Jia Wenhe is the god. , the sentence "If you don't see Yuan Benchu, Liu Jingsheng will be here" made Cao Zhi completely hopeless. Such a good boy, what kind of virtue can he cultivate? He has so much talent for developing in the dark way, it is not good to waste it.
"..." Wang Lie frowned. He couldn't tell Chen Xi about Lu Yu's problem. But seeing Chen Xi's interested expression, Wang Lie felt that it was hard to explain. After a long time, he asked, "What if this boy wants to make a friend?" When Marquis Chen disciplines him, what Marquis Chen intends to teach him is whether to focus on establishing virtue or establishing conduct."
"Teach power tactics, protect yourself as an official, and reconcile factions." Chen Xi said without hesitation. Lu Yu is a good candidate for this. He must give full play to his expertise. History has proven that this is a real master of power struggle. A roly-poly who lived from Cao Cao's time to Sima Zhao's time.
Chen Xi is not talking nonsense. There will be factions sooner or later. It is unlikely to be seen in the short term. However, with the gradual growth of Liu Bei's strength, the emergence of factions is almost inevitable!
The veteran faction composed of military generals headed by Guan Zhang and Zhao and civilian officials headed by Chen Xi would have the advantage of absolutely suppressing all factions within ten years. However, as the Thirteen Prefectures were gradually taken over, it would become a joke to suppress all factions.
This is absolutely indispensable. Chen Xi originally planned to let Zhuge Liang be the central figure to reconcile the factions and resolve future conflicts, but he always felt that it was a bit wasteful and would hinder Zhuge Liang's efforts. Since meeting Lu Yu, Chen Xi has discovered that Lu Yu is more suitable than Zhuge Liang. Fighting, this is one of the very few political masters in history who has been rising from the beginning to the end of the dynasty.
You must know that when this person started to become an official, except for the connections left over ten years ago by his father, he had nothing else to use. In the end, he just built a foundation that is no less than a wealthy family in just a few decades. This officialdom is definitely capable of fighting!
"This... I'm afraid it won't work." Wang Lie was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Yu who was kneeling next to him. He didn't want Lu Yu to become that kind of dark-faced and cruel person, but he had to admit that what Chen Xi said That's right. Machiavellian tactics, self-protection as an official, and reconciliation of factions are indeed very suitable for Lu Yu.
"Whether it works or not, it may not be useful if I say it. With your character, I'm afraid you won't stop this person from leaving." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Why don't you ask this person what he thinks? With your virtue , naturally understand that the road is only useful if you walk it by yourself, is it really suitable to take shelter under your wings?"
Wang Lie let out a long sigh and turned his head to look at Lu Yu, "Zi Jia, you can choose for yourself, whether you want to practice virtue with me to eliminate the hostility in your heart, or practice tactics with Chen Hou and go further on that road. "
"Thank you uncle for taking care of me recently. I am willing to practice the art of maneuvering and virtue with Chen Hou. I feel that as long as I have a clear conscience, even if my hands are dirty one day, I believe that I will not lose my mind." Lu Yu He knelt on the ground and kowtowed solemnly to Wang Lie.
"Well said, you are best suited to control the machinations and let them be controlled by your fingers, instead of being blinded by the machinations like others." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Lu Zi's family, right? I will do it for you after I return to Mount Tai." Find the most suitable teacher and let him teach you. You need to be a teacher within eight years."
Jia Xu is very resourceful, but he puts self-preservation first, while Lu Yu, on the other hand, needs to fight. Only by constantly defeating others can he strengthen himself and prevent himself from falling into the predicament of his youth. Eight years later, when the various factions are on the rise, it is the stage prepared by Chen Xi for Lu Yu.
"Okay." Lu Yu said calmly, with a harmless smile on his face. Then he stood up silently, saluted Wang Lie again, and finally walked towards Chen Xi.
"Don't worry, old man, the Lu Zi family will definitely walk a grand road. For him, intrigue is a toy, not the most important thing in life. He will not get lost in it." Chen Xi saw that Wang Lie was slightly uneasy and spoke. said. (To be continued.)
