Chapter 1330 Marriage

"How to do it? Please inform Lord Lu of his famous quote."

"The slander stops at the wise, but the emperor today... is so suspicious!"

Lu Zhongxun said coldly: "Huang Hui's brother Huang Sui is now the governor of Lingnan Road. Although he is not as powerful as the governor of the Jiedushi, he is nominally the highest military commander in charge of more than 20 prefectures in the entire Lingnan Road. If Huang Hui is used as the governor of Hedong, the two brothers, one in the south and one in the north, have two more than 40 prefectures and more than 150 counties. This power is a little too great."

"And Li Zhong, he has been very close to King Yan Zhao Heng recently. If you use this to advise the emperor, it will definitely arouse suspicion."

Su Chi quickly took over the topic and said the information.

Lu Zhongxun shook his head: "You have to understand one thing, you have to understand one's own brother. If you make a suggestion with this, it may arouse the emperor's suspicion of Li Zhong, but you may also be malicious to you. It is not safe to do so."

Su Chi said: "I don't have to come forward, I can let others speak for him."

Lu Zhongxun sneered: "Can you guarantee that this person will not betray you under severe torture?"

After hearing this, Su Chi remained silent. This thing was indeed impossible to guarantee. Once Zhao Xun knew that the master behind the scenes was him, the one that followed would definitely be his alienation and suspicion of himself. In this way, he might never have the chance to stand out again.

The harvest is unknown, but the risks are extremely high.

Lu Zhongxun glanced at Su Chi and sneered in his heart. He knew what the other party was thinking.

Zhao Xun intended to form the Hedong defense system, so he convened some ministers for discussion. The candidates for Hedong Jiedushi. At present, Li Zhong and Huang Suo have the highest voices. It is not that those aristocratic families do not want to recommend their own people, but they also have to do some things within their ability and lead the whole path. They have great power, but responsibilities are also arduous. If they do not have enough qualifications, prestige and ability, how can they convince the public?

There are only a handful of people in the court who have such qualifications, prestige and ability.

This is why Su Chi was eager to deal with Huang Su and Li Zhong, and did not defeat these two people. Su Chi knew that he could not compete with them.

"I am helpless in my heart, so I would like to ask Lord Lu for some advice."

Su Chi looked at Lu Zhongxun with a sincere expression.

Lu Zhongxun said indifferently: "I heard that General Su has a young girl with a natural appearance."

Su Chi was slightly stunned, a little confused, but he didn't ask much, but looked at the other party quietly, waiting for Lu Zhongxun's next words.

Lu Zhongxun said: "I have a student named Liu Duming, who has good character and noble morality. He is now twenty-five years old and has not yet married."

"I want to tell him a mediator, but I wonder if General Su can agree?"

Su Chi frowned slightly and didn't say anything for a moment.

Su Chi was born in poverty and her parents died early, and she had only one sister. They depended on each other since childhood and had a very good relationship.

"Mr. Lu, I'm not hiding it. My sister already has someone I want, this..."

Su Chi looked embarrassed, and his intention was unexplained.

Lu Zhongxun smiled, didn't say anything, and picked up the teacup and drank water.

Lu Xingyuan, who had not spoken aside, spoke at this time, said, "General Su, do you know Liu Jinshui?"

Su Chi nodded: "Natural understanding."

Liu Jinshui was a favorite minister of the emperor. He had no high official position and was not famous, but who dared to offend him?

"Liu Duming and Liu Jinshui are brothers of their compatriots."

Lu Xingyuan then talked about Liu Duming's background.

Liu Duming and Liu Jinshui were born in poverty. Their father Liu Anguo joined the army in his early years. Because of his excellent martial arts and brave combat, he was valued by Yuwen Zhen and transferred to the commander of his personal soldiers.

In the third year of Guangyuan, the governor of Qizhou, Liu Zifu, led troops to rebellion. At that time, Yuwen Zhen, the governor of Chengzhou, was ordered by the court to lead 10,000 troops to suppress the rebellion.

In this battle, Yuwen Zhen was defeated and almost wiped out the entire army. He was almost arrested alive. At the critical moment, it was Liu Anguo who fought to the death to cut off the rear, which delayed the time and gave Yuwen Zhen the opportunity to escape.

After Liu Anguo died in battle, his wife was too sad and soon died of illness.

At that time, Liu Duming was only nine years old and Liu Jinshui was seven years old.

Both parents died and the two youngest sons were left unattended.

Yuwen Zhen, who knew about this, was grateful to Liu Anguo for saving his life, so he adopted Liu Duming and Liu Jinshui brothers.

Liu Jinshui was ignorant, but he was quick-witted, eloquent, and flattered. Even Qin Anming felt inferior to himself. On the other hand, his brother Liu Duming was very talented. Although he did not pass the Jinshi, he was also a Juren. He and Empress Yu Wen Huashang grew up together since childhood. The two had a close relationship and were like relatives. Because of this relationship, they were taken care of by the Emperor Zhao Xun and promoted them in an extraordinary way. Now they serve as the head of the Ministry of Rites, and are in the fifth rank.

After listening to Lu Xingyuan's explanation, Su Chi's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood what Lu Zhongxun meant.

The position of Hedong Jiedushi is of great importance, and the importance of the military level is self-evident. In this way, whether it is a minister in the court or a political faction, it is difficult to elect candidates because if the candidates you elect are not worth enough, the traces of personal pursuit of public affairs will be too obvious.

After all, Su Chi's weight is not enough, and Lu Zhongxun can't speak for him at all.

But now, Lu Zhongxun has given Su Chi another direction.

Empress Yu Wen Huashang had a son, which was Zhao Xun's only son. At least for the moment. In addition to the previous battle for the throne, Yu Wen Zhen died. The final counterattack was due to the fact that Yu Wen Zhen's army was able to turn the tables.

Zhao Xun is extremely fond of Queen Yu Wen Huashang, and will ask her for her opinions on many major events in the court.

Su Chi looked at Lu Zhongxun and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Lu Zhongxun sighed lightly: "It seems that Liu Duming does not have this blessing anymore."

Su Chi coughed twice and laughed: "The elder brother is his father, and I will naturally decide the marriage of my younger sister."

"Liu Duming is Lord Lu's disciple. If my younger sister can really get married, Lord Lu and I will be considered a close friend!"

Lu Zhongxun smiled: "It's better not to force me, so as not to ruin the reputation of the sister-in-law."

Su Chi said with a serious look: "It's just intentional, no emotion, a matter that can be determined by one word, a small matter."

Lu Zhongxun nodded, and the matter was settled.

Everyone is smart, and some things need not be explained. Lu Zhongxun is the guide and Su Chi just follows him.

After the matter was decided, Lu Zhongxun and Su Chi talked about some irrelevant things, and then Lu Zhongxun said goodbye and left.

"Father, why do you want to help Su Chi?"

In the carriage, Lu Xingyuan asked in a low voice.
