Zhang Zhao saw Lu Xuan in the study, lifted up his robe, knelt down, and said loudly: "Zhang Zhao is guilty, please punish me."
Lu Xuan was a little surprised.
Zhang Zhao's performance during these times was very good, and the staff was also running well. In terms of governance ability, Zhang Zhao is very good, which is undisputed.
Lu Xuandao: "Zhang Qing, what happened?"
Zhang Zhao quickly said: "In anger, the old minister lost control for a moment and even hit Zhou Xin, a famous scholar from Kuaiji County, in the duty room. Please punish me."
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows even more.
Zhou Xin, Kuaiji County.
Moreover, I took a taxi from the hotel room.
Lu Xuan stared at Zhang Zhao. With Zhang Zhao's status, one person was inferior to ten thousand people, so it was impossible to hit anyone casually. Zhang Zhao's every move must have an intention, Lu Xuan was very sure of this.
In Lu Xuan's position and Zhang Zhao's position, it is impossible to do things purely based on preference, it must be a weighing of interests.
Lu Xuan smiled slightly and asked, "Why do you hit people?"
Zhang Zhao explained: "The report to the king is about the banquet you gave to the scholars of the Five Classics Hall in Qionglin Garden."
Lu Xuan's eyes suddenly brightened, his expression was slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "What is the relationship between Zhou Xin and Qiong Lin Yan?"
Zhang Zhao replied: "Zhou Xin comes from a wealthy family in Kuaiji County. This time the king hosted a banquet in Qionglin. Zhou Xin felt unhappy, so he went to find the minister and used his sharp tongue to say that as the minister of the Ministry of Personnel under the king, he should It has its own stance and governing philosophy.”
"He even said some persuasive words to try to drive a wedge between the minister and the king."
"In anger, I hit Zhou Xin with a chessboard, and told him that as long as I stayed in the official department for a day, I would never let a villain like Zhou Xin gain power. I was impulsive and acted recklessly, ruining the king's reputation. Please punish me. .”
Lu Xuan laughed in his heart when he heard this.
Zhang Zhao old fox.
I learned well this time.
Last time, Zhang Zhao was beaten by Lu Xuan because of the matter at the Five Classics Hall. Because of the auspicious incident, Lu Xuan dealt with it again, so Zhang Zhao knew Lu Xuan’s attitude.
Zhang Zhao hit people intentionally.
Take this to express your stance.
Lu Xuan looked at Zhang Zhao in front of him. After weighing it in his mind, he suddenly had an idea and ordered: "It is always wrong to hit someone. I will fine you one month's salary."
"I obey!"
Zhang Zhao felt relieved.
Passed!
He deliberately used this to express his attitude, hoping that Lu Xuan would see his attitude and avoid any further problems.
Zhang Zhao knows one thing very well, that is, thunder, rain and dew are all due to your kindness. What is your governing philosophy? It would be absurd for you to talk about these ideas in front of a founding king. Once you deviate from the ideals of the founder of the country, you will be beaten to the point of being beaten into a dog's head without even realizing it.
Lu Xuan changed the topic and said again: "Tomorrow's Qionglin Banquet, as the head of the civil servants, you will join us."
"I obey the decree."
Zhang Zhao felt excited.
He knew he was doing the right thing this time.
Lu Xuan waved his hand, Zhang Zhao turned around and retreated, Lu Xuan thought about the affairs of the wealthy family.
The big family and the poor people are in conflict with each other, and the big family will definitely target the poor people. Because of Lu Xuan's existence, he could suppress the nominal opposition. Under this premise, some private methods of powerful families are definitely indispensable.
"Come here, tell Chen Deng to come and discuss matters."
Lu Xuan ordered to go down.
The attendant went to inform him, and not long after, Chen Deng entered the study, bowed and said: "My lord, Chen Deng, pays homage to the king."
Lu Xuan ordered: "The first batch of poor scholars in the Five Classics Hall have graduated. The news that the king gave a banquet in the Five Classics Hall has spread out, causing a lot of people to talk, and some people are ready to take action."
"Zhou Xin of Kuaiji County personally went to lobby Zhang Zhao, but was beaten by Zhang Zhao. Next, I am afraid that the powerful families will have more cunning tactics against the poor people. The people under your command are keeping an eye on the major families. Also pay more attention to the scholars at the Five Classics Hall so that no problems can arise."
"I obey."
Chen Deng bowed and answered.
Lu Xuan waved his hand, and Chen Deng turned around and retreated.
Lu Xuan continued to think about the Five Classics Hall. Although Chen Deng was there to escort him, it was obviously not enough.
Lu Xuan wanted to promote the nobles from a poor family. Just a banquet in Qionglin was obviously not warm enough to further elevate the status of these nobles. More arrangements were needed.
Even more, we want to make the boundaries between the rich family and the poor people less. Once we become one among you and one among me, the poor people will truly gain a foothold and have countless sparks, and it will be even more different.
Lu Xuan ordered: "Lu Xun!"
"exist!"
Lu Xun came to Lu Xuan and bowed.
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Go to the city and spread the news. The king will reuse the poor scholars who have graduated from the Five Classics Hall. Especially the top ten scholars will definitely enter the central court as officials in the future. Now, start early. When you choose a son-in-law, you book your family’s future early.”
"ah!"
Lu Xun was surprised when he heard this.
He didn't expect that Lu Xuan would make such an arrangement.
Lu Xun has always been by Lu Xuan's side and has been actively involved in handling government affairs. He has outstanding talents, is sensitive to government affairs, and is proficient in military strategy. However, Lu Xun did not understand Lu Xuan's arrangement for a while.
Lu Xun thought for a while and asked, "Uncle, my nephew has a question."
Lu Xuan said: "Do you have any questions?"
Lu Xun said in a deep voice: "All the scholars from poor families are the weapons you use to check the powerful families. Constantly supporting the children from poor families will prevent the powerful families from dominating the court of Wu, right?"
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "That's what I mean."
Lu Xun further said: "In this case, why do you give these people to powerful families as sons-in-law? If you do this, doesn't it mean that you are giving away the eldest daughter you have cultivated? By then, they will all be powerful and powerful people. People of the tribe.”
Lu Xuan smiled slightly and asked, "You only think about this level?"
Lu Xun said: "There are too many powerful and powerful families, and their continuous efforts to win over us will indeed lead to assimilation."
Lu Xuan chuckled and said: "To win over is to win over, and to assimilate is to assimilate. If only one or two children from poor families emerge, they will easily be assimilated and become members of a powerful family."
"But I have a lot of poor people. These people are constantly emerging. It is impossible for them all to assimilate."
"There are many people from poor families, so someone must carry the flag and someone must gather strength. This is a very critical point."
"Secondly, although the scholars from poor families benefit from the benefits of powerful families, they are not son-in-laws. They have their own interests, opinions and pursuits. The higher the power, the more pursuits they have."
"If there are only one or two scholars from poor families, their ideas will not gain momentum. However, if there are more scholars from poor families emerging, they will gain momentum, be able to protect themselves, and even fight against each other."
"Third, I will support you. I will further support the poor scholars in the Five Classics Hall, so there is nothing to worry about."
Lu Xuan's eyes flashed with anticipation, and he said: "You have to remember that the friendship between classmates, especially those who have been classmates for three years, is even more different. Such friendship as classmates will become their own as they go to different places. The bond that connects these people together.”
After hearing this, Lu Xun thought about it and said solemnly: "Uncle is wise."
Lu Xuan waved his hand and said: "Go and make arrangements, spread the news as soon as possible, arouse the minds of powerful families, and let these people prepare to choose a son-in-law. I want to use these people to further support the poor people."
"Here!"
After Lu Xun saluted, he hurried to make arrangements.
There was more expectation in Lu Xuan's eyes. Starting from the poor scholars in the Five Classics Hall, the situation in Wu Kingdom had begun to slowly change.
