After Chen Yuan left, Huang Mingyuan recruited Lu Zhen to come.
Since the incident with Yu Juluo, Lu Zhen has become more and more reclusive. On weekdays, even Huang Mingyuan is rarely seen. However, although Lu Zhen was wrong, she was still one of the most important people around Huang Mingyuan, and her identity had not changed.
(First love, wife, confidante, a man¡¯s best expectation and dream.)
Huang Mingyuan went west to aid Yanmen, so Lu Zhen stayed in Jixian until Huang Mingyuan returned.
However, Lu Zhen was not idle during her stay in Jixian. She knew that with Huang Mingyuan's character and strong desire to control, when he returned to Youzhou, he would inevitably have a conflict with the Fan Yang Lu family.
Huang Mingyuan will never allow himself to have power that cannot be controlled by him.
In the eyes of others, the Fan Yang Lu family has great prestige and far-reaching influence, and it is unwise to oppose them. But Lu Zhen knew that if the Lu family offended Huang Mingyuan, Huang Mingyuan would definitely attack the Fan Yang Lu family and would never have any scruples because of their prestige and status.
So Lu Zhen arranged her manpower in advance, checked the Lu family inside and outside, and made full preparations. By the time Huang Mingyuan came to Jixian, all kinds of information had been placed in front of Huang Mingyuan.
Huang Mingyuan had to admit that Lu Zhen was the most popular in his heart at all times.
The Youzhou family is headed by the Fan Yang Lu family. Only when the Lu family is solved can the others be solved, otherwise it will be meaningless. Huang Mingyuan has always liked to catch the big ones and release the small ones. Whether it is the bones of a valuable horse or killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, he has to pick up the hard ones.
Huang Mingyuan flipped through the information about the Lu family and highlighted all the key points. Mainly due to some social relationships of the Lu family and their penetration into the Youzhou government.
I have to admit that Lu¡¯s problem is very difficult.
The Fan Yang Lu family is one of the top families in China. Starting from Lu Zhi, a great scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he has been prominent for generations and has held high positions. During the reign of Emperor Xiaowen, he became one of the four high-ranking families of "King Lu Cui and Zheng", and was known as the "Crown Clan of Beizhou". After the split of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Lu Jing's three sons served as imperial advisors of the Western Wei, Northern Qi, and Northern Three Kingdoms respectively, and they became famous all over the world.
There are five surnames, seven families, and ten families with forty-four sons. The Lu family has nine sons from three families, which shows the status of the family.
The status of the Lu family in Youzhou is too high. It can be said that the people of Youzhou have not heard of the imperial court and only know the Lu family. The other major families basically follow the Lu family. That's why Huang Mingyuan said that only by solving Lu's problem can we solve Youzhou's problem.
Huang Mingyuan looked through the files, and Lu Zhen didn't say anything. She sat on one side and made tea for Huang Mingyuan.
Huang Mingyuan looked at it and said, "I'm going to meet the Lu family. What do you think?"
Lu Zhen said: "The Lu family will not bow their heads, otherwise they would not make the situation so ugly."
"I know, that's why I want to go."
You can¡¯t just yell at people and kill them as soon as you come up.
Huang Mingyuan asked again: "Is there any well-known and favored playboy in the Lu family?"
"Lu Shen's grandson Lu Yanxing, the eldest son of Lu Shen's second son, is the most favored by Lu Shen."
Huang Mingyuan said softly: "Keep an eye on him."
Huang Mingyuan didn't bother to rest the next day, so he went to visit Lu Shen, the patriarch of the Lu family, in person.
Lu Shen was born in the imperial master's room of the northern ancestor of the Lu family in Fanyang. He was famous for his father, Lu Bian, and his three brothers, who were each the emperor's master. He was the cousin of Lu Chu, an important minister in the court. Lu Shen himself had a low official position. He once worshiped the governor and was named Fanyang Duke. But because his father and grandfather had a prominent position both in the court and among the aristocratic families.
??During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, the name of the location of a family's county seat was not easily granted. It generally represented official recognition of a family. The person who is awarded this title is either the patriarch of his family, or the person who the official hopes to become the patriarch of the family. For example, in the Wenxi Pei family, the Duke of Wenxi County in the Sui Dynasty was Pei Ju. In the Tang Dynasty, Pei Ju was renamed the Duke of Anyi County, and the Duke of Wenxi County became Pei Ji.
This is not just a matter of title, but a status recognized by the court. Therefore, Lu Shen was granted the title of Duke of Fanyang during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which shows his high status.
Huang Mingyuan has never met Lu Shen. Although Huang Mingyuan has been to Youzhou several times, Lu Shen really looks down on Huang Mingyuan, a humble family member, and does not want to see him at all.
Of course he also has enough confidence.
From here we can see the difference between the Guandong family and the Guanlong family. The Guanlong family was born in the Six Towns Rebellion at the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty. It has been prominent for less than a century and does not have much status suppression on Huang Mingyuan. However, many Guandong aristocratic families can trace their roots back to the Han Dynasty or even earlier. They have high status and have been prominent for generations. They have a natural sense of superiority compared to people from humble families.
Huang Mingyuan also had to go out of his way to deal with the new tax system.
When we arrived at Lu¡¯s house, LuThe family's reception of Huang Mingyuan was quite considerate. It's really not because Huang Mingyuan worshiped the prime minister and had a high status, but because of Huang Mingyuan's illustrious killing reputation. Because of attitude issues, too many people died at the hands of Huang Mingyuan, and the Lu family did not want to offend Huang Mingyuan for this. Although he didn't say it openly, Lu Shen was really afraid of Huang Mingyuan's two-handed personality.
Huang Mingyuan waited for a while, and Lu Shen came out.
Lu Shen is already over seventy, so he has a reason for being late.
Huang Mingyuan's attitude towards Lu Shen was very respectful, without any condescension. Of course, Lu Shen treated Huang Mingyuan very gently, but his aloofness was revealed from time to time.
Huang Mingyuan's doesn't matter. He can't compare to the nobility he has cultivated over hundreds of years.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries, but Huang Mingyuan got straight to the point, without trying to deal with the other party, and directly explained his intention. Because of the new tax system, a lot of troubles have been caused. The government hopes that the Lu family can play an exemplary role and support the implementation of the government's new tax law.
Lu Shen smiled and said: "I have heard about the new tax system. It's just an official thing, and I, an unofficial person, can't get involved. I really can't say that I support it."
Lu Shen was able to push Tai Chi, but Huang Mingyuan pressed forward step by step.
"Gong Lu is highly respected and has great prestige in Jixian County. Mingyuan still hopes that as a junior, Mr. Lu can set an example."
What Huang Mingyuan did not say was that the Lu family did not accept Huang Mingyuan as a junior. The next time he came to see him, he would be a government official.
But Lu Shen didn¡¯t care.
"I am devoted to tilling the fields, obsessed with poetry and books, and I really don't dare to interfere in the affairs of the government. If the government is short of some grain, I will try my best not to eat it myself, but I can still squeeze some out for Duke Wei. But for the rest, I really As I get older, I don¡¯t have the energy.¡±
Lu Shen didn¡¯t take any of Huang Mingyuan¡¯s moves.
In the end, Huang Mingyuan and Lu Shen had nothing to talk about, so they had to leave.
In fact, Huang Mingyuan also knows very well that the two sides have different positions, so what can be negotiated with the wealthy family. You are cutting other people's flesh with a knife, how can you not make them resist?
Therefore, Huang Mingyuan's visit to the Lu family this time was not so much a visit as a routine matter to show his sincerity to the world. Anyway, I have already given you the first salute, but if you don¡¯t accept it, don¡¯t blame me if you fall behind. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
