Zhao Wuxiu was very concerned about the reason why he performed such a performance. {Chinese

in.

Although the country is now in a different position and the political situation is unstable, the Lu State has been a country with nobles and nobles for the past few hundred years, and is ruled by the Duke clan. Outsiders such as Jin Chong'er, Confucius' ancestors, and Qi Bao State, cannot obtain a high position here, and cannot even get a position as a doctor.

In short, this is an exclusive country that focuses on kissing and respecting.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxiu used two cities to enter Lu as a doctor for the first time in hundreds of years. Although the Sanhuan had lost his former authority, he still regarded Lu as his hunting ground. When Zhao Wuxiu entered here, he would naturally be rejected by them. He showed a homesick look and showed that he would not stay in Lu forever, which should reduce their guard.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxiu said sincerely and seriously: "Wuxiu is willing to guard Xibi for Lu State and force the Qi people to retreat from the attack. He hopes to make contributions to Jin and Lu to return to Jin as soon as possible..."

This sounded like the truth, and a stone fell to the ground in Sanhuan's heart.

In fact, the Three Huans wanted Zhao Wuwei because behind him was the Zhao family of Jin State, and they were likely to become the ruling family of Jin State in the future.

As Suns of the Wa League said to Zhao Yang last year: "Because my town is in the Dongyi, close to the enemy, and the weak king is the only one who is the best." Lu has always followed the leader of Jin. In the past, he hoped that Jin would protect Lu from attacks from powerful countries such as Qi, Chu, and Wu. Now the Three Huans hoped that Jin could curb the ambitions of powerful minister Yang Hu so that he could not act arbitrarily.

But when he left Meng's mansion half an hour later, Zhao Wuxiu couldn't help but feel a little angry because meeting Sanhuan today disappointed him.

"Apart from a few cups of thin wine in Lu and some empty flattery, I got almost nothing!"

He and Zifu had a vision to believe that Zhao Wuxiu's military power could be used to resist Yang Hu, and the Three Huans seemed to have no intention of this. They no longer had the inspiration of their ancestors, and only hoped to just live by, cling to the crumbling overlord Jin State, and just breathed on their breath.

He shook his head and said, "The descendants are unworthy. No wonder the Three Huans will lose their power. A family can be so depressed that they are dictatorial by their servants. What else can I save?"

Ji Sunsi's endurance, Meng Sun He Ji's indecisiveness and cowardice, and Shusun Zhou Qiu's big talk were all expressed in this meeting. If these three families were in the fiercely competitive Jin State, they would have been destroyed so much that they would not even have any bones left!

What disappointed Wuxi was especially that although Sanhuan wanted to win over him for his wings and win over the Zhao family of Jin as an aid, he had made a lot of promises, but he did not give any practical things at all.

So Zhao Wuxiu could only take the initiative to make a request: "The craftsmen in Lu are famous all over the world, and the two towns of Zhen and Linqiu are in ruins. Wuxiu still wants to ask the lord for some food officials to take them back."

The name is to ask the Marquis of Lu for approval, but in fact it is asking the Three Huans, can I agree to this small request?

At that time, Ji Sunsi's hand gently tapped the table and said, "It's just a trivial matter. Zitai made contributions to Lu's Yuqi this time, and also allowed Lu's country to expand its territory. He also rewarded hundreds of casters, wheelers, carpenters, potters, and weavers. It's normal."

In the current state of Lu, Yang Hu's words are much more effective than Sanhuan, and Sanhuan's words are much more effective than Lu Hou.

However, Zhao Wuxiu was still indifferent. He thought, "I will go to Yanghu for a banquet now and see what benefits this guy who is a servant who is responsible for the country can do to me!"

...

When Zhao Wuxiu arrived at Yanghu's mansion, Yanghu was already standing at the gate of the mansion with a smile on his face.

The president Wuxiu said, "I'm late, please forgive me."

Although Yang Hu was a little dissatisfied with him visiting Sanhuan first and then attending the banquet, he still maintained his attentiveness in the afternoon. In Zhao Wuxiu's opinion, this was already considered "thirsty for talent". Perhaps this attitude made many unsuccessful Dukes of Lu willing to surrender to him.

He showed his white teeth and said with a smile: "If Zitai was half a minute later, it would be really late. You have met the three nobles of Lu. What is the person?"

Zhao Wuxiu said: "Would Yoko listen to lies or the truth?"

Yang Hu was intrigued: "What's the point of lies?"

"Without politeness, he would say that the three nobles and gentlemen are modest and graceful, and they are the Duke and Marquis Gancheng."

"What's the truth?"

Zhao Wuxiu smiled and shook his head and said, "Look at his words, observe his actions, and know his bottom line. Only then can he know his people, Ji Sun, Shu Sun, and Meng Sun. But he has the dry bones in the tomb. How can he compare with a hero like Yangzi? "

"A hero in Lu?"

"I'm not hiding Yoko, this is what my father said to me after the Wazhihui."

Yang Hu has admired Zhao Yang for a long time. He heard that the central military officer of Jin who wanted to travel to once praised him like this. This sentence came from Zhao Yang's son and should not be false. He was overjoyed.

"Good, great kindness! Please follow me in!" Yang Hu was so generous that he was so proud of Zhao Wuxiu's words that he was floating up, and the unhappiness in his heart disappeared instantly.

He led the way, and the two of them went straight into the backyard hall. On the way, they passed three gates. There were countless soldiers and temples along the way.

The back house of Yangfu is very large, which is even more grand than the Mengsun mansion that Zhao Wuxiu had just visited. The buildings are mostly made of bricks and stones and wooden structures, with carved beams and painted buildings.

The conversation just now seemed to make Yang Hu feel that the relationship between the two was much closer, so he said vaguely: "This place was originally the mansion of the Dongmen clan, but now it belongs to me. After the renovation, whether it is the land or the decoration inside, it has exceeded the old Qufu house of Sanhuan. If Zitai needs it, you can choose from the city of Lu!"

Yang Hu was quite proud. It was not easy for him, a humble retainer, to have this day, so he couldn't help but show off to Zhao Wuxiu.

But although Zhao Wuxiu was disrespectful to the house that was delivered to him, he felt a little dissatisfied.

Indeed, this is worthy of being the old house of Dongmen clan that was overwhelming the Three Huans back then. However, Zhao Wuxiu felt that compared to Xia Palace and Leshi Mansion in Shangqiu Sicheng, there seemed to be something missing. Yang Hu and his soldiers lived here, but they felt it was stiff and uncoordinated.

"Yes, the temperament and background of the clan for a hundred years is reduced, and the ignorance and show-off of the explosive households."

Only when I passed through the martial arts and shooting range, Wuxi felt that the temperament here was consistent with Yang Hu.

So, in Wuxi, Yang Hu, who was holding his head up and leading the way, looked like a tiger who had accidentally entered a mansion and was trapped in this room. He was wearing a monkey and thought that wearing the crown and robe of a nobleman and living in the yard of a nobleman, he could also become the prime minister of Lu who was in charge of national affairs and the Shiqing who was in charge of national affairs.

He has lost himself in this way.

Little did they know that it would take at least three generations to cultivate a nobleman! The Wei family of Jin State took nearly half a century to be ranked among the six nobles since Wei Wuzi, a common man.

However, Zhao Wuxiu did not say anything to wake up Yang Hu, but just walked behind him, but he felt a little scheming in his heart.

Zhao Wuxiu followed Yanghu to a small pavilion. Although it was not night, fire candles had been lit around the pavilion, making the surroundings bright as day. The beautiful maid bowed her head and served her side. There were bottles and sacrificial dishes on the stone table here, some fruits and vegetables were placed in the porcelain plate, and two bottles of boiled wine were placed.

"The banquet will begin after nightfall. Zitai will sit here with me first, and then meet all the people from Lu State. I will go to the Palace to meet you tomorrow."

The two sat opposite each other, looked at the full moon slowly rising in the air, and after a drink, they began to get to the point.

"Since Zitai met the Three Huans today and saw through him, you should be clear about why I am in charge of the national affairs of Lu. Confucius, the minister of Zhongdu, once said that I was 'along with the ministers and the country's orders'. He was pedantic, but this statement was not false."

"This is natural. Now who is not the only one in Lu State is to follow Yangzi's leader?"

Indeed, the State of Lu was quite strange among the princes, and the power of the retainers was extremely great.

The reason is that before the dictatorship of the Three Huans, they each focused on expanding their own strength and personally presided over the housekeeping and county affairs, so the retainers had little power.

After the Three Huans conscripted into Lu, their attention turned to national affairs. They had to consider how to control the king, how to rule Lu, how to deal with conflicts with other ministers and officials, and the housekeeping and the county affairs were gradually left to the retainers to manage.

Moreover, due to various wars and courtesy, alliances, the Three Huans often travel abroad, at least one month or six months, and sometimes they were even detained as hostages by the overlord Jin and Chu for several years. Therefore, the family and county priests of the Three Huans became the "masters" in the country, and their power grew bigger and bigger, gradually overshadowed their original masters, and also obtained their own fiefs, with their own armor and soldiers and their own people.

The Shi family still had a hundred households, and the three Huans' family priests also had their own lords. For example, Yang Hu controlled Yangguan, Guan, and handed Yuncheng over to his fellow party secretary Sun Zhi to manage.

In addition, the heads of these three families are becoming increasingly incompetent, so the situation of the Three Huans being the Lu, and the situation of accompanying the Three Huans being the Three Huans being the one. Yang Hu is not the first, nor is it the last.

During the reign of Duke Zhao of Lu, Shusun's retainer slaughtered a cow to rebel, and even starved Shusun Muzi to death, killed two legitimate sons, and established a new concubine son.

A few years later, Fei Zainan Kuai of Ji's family also made a rebellion and wanted to depose Ji's family and surrender to the Marquis of Lu.

Even if the retainers who did not cause trouble had great voice in diplomacy and political affairs, as the three Huans became increasingly unbearable, those outstanding retainers, such as Yang Hu, developed ambitions.

Perhaps it was Zhao Wuxiu's flattery that Yang Hu was very pleased. He did not have to go back and forth in a small matter like Sanhuan before making a decision, but instead went straight to the point and told Zhao Wuxiu his plans.

"So, now I have the final say in Lu. As a noble son, Zitai will naturally not be satisfied with being a small county doctor. But I will tell you the truth today that the Three Huans are extremely xenophobic. Bao State is only a retainer of the Shi family. The poor scholar Confucius was very famous among the people. He even became the Like Master of the Meng family, but I was still a clumsy to be the prime minister. Zitai entered Lu was a decision made by me to suppress the Three Huans. They will definitely be guarded against you and are only willing to give small profits to fly, but if it were me..."

Zhao Wuxiu looked at Yang Hu and could feel the ambition in his eyes.

Yang Hu patted his chest and said, "Yang Hu has no extraordinary ability, but there is only one thing. I am good at cultivating people!" (To be continued.)
