Chapter 140 All Actors

"The Zuohuangmen does not need to be so worried..." Liu Tao smiled and comforted him first, "Actually, I still have another identity, that is, the disciple of General Beizhonglang."

"Oh? Oh..." Zuo Feng was stunned when he heard this, and then seemed to understand that this box of gold had a purpose.

"My mentor is from a poor family. Because of this, he is strong and unyielding. If the court can recruit him, he is also unreservedly loyal to the court." Liu Tao said slowly with emotion.

"The General of the Northern Central Army is diligent and loyal to the Han Dynasty. Zuo admires it very much." Zuo Feng calmed down a little, and he understood that the money was paid by Liu Tao on behalf of Lu Zhi.

It’s just that Lu Zhi has a stubborn personality and probably won’t pay voluntarily. However, as a disciple, Liu Tao couldn’t sit idly by and watch.

But with so much gold, the money is really too much. With the wine, Zuo Feng felt it was really hot.

At this point, Liu Tao actually had nothing to say. After chatting with Zuo Feng for a few words, he said goodbye and left with the excuse of "not disturbing Zuohuangmen's rest".

Zuo Feng personally sent Liu Tao out of the camp, then returned to the tent, poured himself a glass of wine, but did not taste it carefully, so he stuffed it into his mouth. The strong wine entered his stomach, and a stream of heat rose. Only then did Zuo Feng feel that his slightly trembling body calmed down.

Then I thought of the wine, which was worth twenty cents, and it was covered with some pain. If I could, I really wanted to find something to seal it, but I really couldn't bear to spend it like this.

"Brother..." Liu Tao returned to the tent, and Lu Yan was indeed waiting here. Seeing him coming back, he immediately stepped forward.

"It's done!" Liu Tao smiled at him, "But, at least maybe I'll have to scold me."

"I'm sorry..." Lu Yan felt very uncomfortable when he knew what this meant.

"This is the best solution." Liu Tao shook his head, "You and I don't have the ability to make rules yet, so we can only abide by the rules set by others first."

In the past, I didn’t understand why others traveled through time. I always wanted to compete for hegemony, and took the imperial examinations according to the rules, and then promoted step by step, so it would be great to live a leisurely life. If it was just a reform, I could still carry out reforms within the country!

Now I probably understand that those who like to compete for hegemony may not like to be emperors, but just because they can make rules by themselves.

I don’t want to accommodate the old rules, or as a modern person, I don’t like the rules and regulations of ancient times, and I really can’t adapt, so I simply don’t adapt.

Taking a step back, even if you enter the internal situation and can reform, it will take a lot of time. It may even be overthrown in the next term, which may anger the king and cause death.

How long does it take for a person to become such a "powerful minister"? How long does it take for a powerful minister to "reform"? Even if he lives for a hundred years, the time is far from enough. Maybe the reform will fail to achieve results.

Life is really too short under such circumstances.

"Even if you pass this level, you have to wait another five years... Five years are so long..." After Liu Tao sent Lu Yan away, he looked up at the sky and sighed.

The next day, when Zuo Feng followed Lu Zhi to inspect the military camp, his attitude changed a lot and he became much more polite. However, the officers around him knew that Liu Tao had been to his place last night. After all, Zuo Feng's camp was in a more conspicuous position.

Zuo Feng did not mention asking for bribes all day, as if he had just come to inspect. At the same time, after inspecting one day, after roughly understanding the situation in the army, he said goodbye to Lu Zhi and leave.

Before leaving, he reminded Lu Zhi a little: "Your Majesty is very concerned about the cost of military rations and materials on the front line..."

The other lieutenants didn't even have the chance to give money, so Zuo Feng recruited some civilians and hurried away with two carts of wine.

Liu Tao was also worried about any changes on the road, so he asked Jian Yong to set off with a hundred spearmen and about a month of food.

Calculate the distance. If Zuo Feng returns at full speed, he can almost return to Luoyang in three or five days. But with these two cars of wine and supplies, I am afraid that it will take about half a month to go back. I think Zuo Feng also took the distance issue and hurried back, right?

"Deran, I heard that you have been to Zuofeng's camp last night?" As soon as Zuofeng left, Lu Zhi called Liu Tao over. The other lieutenants were whispering, but they immediately surrounded him and watched the fun not far away.

Just looking at Lu Zhi's face turned pale at this moment. Although there was no strong emotional fluctuation, the meaning of anger was very strong.

"Yes." Liu Tao replied, his attitude was very calm, he was not panicked or proud.

"When Zuo Feng left, he took a lot of things..." Lu Zhi said casually.

"It's just a local specialty of Zhuo County. My disciple originally wanted to say that if he could go to Luoyang after the war, he would offer it to His Majesty. Now Zuo Feng came to inspect instead of His Majesty, so he just gave it to him and took it back." Liu Tao nodded.

"Oh, I originally wanted to offer it to Your Majesty?" Lu Zhi's expression calmed down a little after hearing this.

"Around May last year, some fine wines were brewed in Zhuo County. I thought that as a relative of the Han Dynasty and had good things, of course I couldn't forget Your Majesty, so I thought about offering some." Liu Tao explained.

"Really, I just entrusted Zuo Feng to send these fine wines to Luoyang?" Lu Zhi asked further.

"The Zuohuangmen is also an official appointed by the court, so it is natural that he can't let him help him voluntarily, so he gave him some hard-earned money." Liu Tao took the initiative to admit that this matter was understandable, at most it was in the class position, and the problem could be big or small.

"Thank you hard money?" Lu Zhi finally broke out after hearing this, "I think you bribed him, right?"

Zuo Feng's attitude changed suddenly overnight, and he did not ask for bribes in the future, so he left directly. In the eyes of various captains, Liu Tao's so-called "hard-working money" was simply a bribery.

"My teacher once said, 'I am not afraid of being broken, and I must keep my innocence in the world', and I persuade my disciples, as a scholar, to stick to my original intention and not to associate with treacherous and slanderous people, and my disciples dare not forget." Liu Tao said seriously nonsense.

"Yes, father!" Lu Yan also came forward to plead, "Brother has not forgotten your teachings for a day. He just sent some specialties to His Majesty because of his clan status. Is this kind of situation uncommon in the court, right?"

If you really want to calculate, there are indeed many local kings, and they offer local specialties to the court. They are usually done through the prime minister and enter the palace through the Shaofu. There is almost no such situation as Liu Tao, a clan who has not served in office.

However, even if there are almost no, it is reasonable in terms of legal principles. Using this criticism, it conflicts with the filial piety advocated by Confucianism. Even those who look at this matter with the most malicious intention cannot hold on.

"Well, you can remember, I am very pleased to be my teacher." Lu Zhi's attitude was much looser when he heard this, and he was complaining in his heart: Have I said this?

It seems to be a poem, but seven-character poems are relatively rare and not mainstream, so he generally doesn't know how to do it. The key seems to be just the second half of the poem, and the first half is unknown. As a scholar, he is really curious.

Moreover, if it weren't for what he said, it must have been written by Liu Tao. This kid could recite these two sentences, which was interesting.

After pondering for a while, he finally looked at Liu Tao seriously and admonished: "Remember, our scholars should be loyal to the court, seek welfare for the people, and seek peace for the world. Don't do anything wrong. Otherwise, I will expel you from the sect!"

"Disciples remember it in their hearts and dare not forget it." Liu Tao replied solemnly.

Seeing this, the other lieutenants knew that they could not stand watching the excitement. They immediately put down their faces of watching the excitement, changed into an ancient innocence, and stepped forward to comfort Lu Zhi. The latter simply took advantage of the situation to expose the matter.

Those who are playing politics are indeed all actors... Liu Tao looked at the people around him and complained in his heart.
