Chapter 869: Fighting for Hegemony
Regardless of Lu Gong's thoughts, Jiang Hao also wanted to ask him some questions, "Lu Gong, I have been practicing in the mountains all year round. I don't know what time it is?"
Lu Gong came back to his senses and smiled twice: "It is now the thirty-sixth year of Ying, the eighth day of the fifth lunar month."
From the period of Qin Shihuang until the early years of the Han Dynasty, there was no mention of the year name. The year name was established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it was thirty-six years ago, which means that it is only one year since the death of Qin Shihuang.
What about Yushu?
Probably still in Goguryeo now.
How do I find her?
At this moment, the mutton was roasted, and the servants cut off the fatty part and served it to the master. Lu Gong immediately ordered the servants, "Go and call the two young ladies to eat."
Not long after, Lu Pheasant and Lu Suying came over. The two women first saluted Lu Gong, "I have seen Daddy", then turned to salute Jiang Hao, "I have seen Mr. Jiang."
Lu Pheasant was dressed in a blue shirt with a little powder and a beaded hairpin on her head. She smiled at Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao had to admit that this woman was also a rare beauty.
The daughter raised by Mr. Lu is good. Both daughters have some knowledge, can read and write, and understand books and reason. As for Lu's later blackening, it has its own personality problems, but it is more because of Liu Bang.
Lu Zhi was very virtuous and virtuous in the early days, and took good care of Liu Bang's family. After Liu Bang's incident, Lu Zhi was arrested by Xiang Yu and imprisoned for several years, wandering on the edge of life and death all day long. Who can bear this suffering? After she came out, there was another Mrs. Qi beside Liu Bang, who was affectionate all day long and ignored him. After Liu Bang died, she became the empress dowager, and completely opened the road of empress Lu's dictatorship that was spurned by history.
Empress Lu has been in power for 16 years, and Liu Bang has only been emperor for 8 years in total. Speaking of which, who is the rich and noble person?
But to be honest, Lu Zhi's political ability is actually very strong. Liu Bang's later contribution is half of her, such as killing heroes and so on, and the social instability in the early Han Dynasty. Lu Zhi also used strong political skills, which can make the country If there is no problem, then there will be the rule of Wenjing by his grandson and great-grandson.
As for Lu Su who was next to her, she was much more shy. She followed her sister to salute Jiang Hao, and shouted "I have met Mr. Jiang," but her voice was like a mosquito.
Seeing this well-behaved and lovely woman, Jiang Hao thought of Lv Nai in history, who married Fan Kuai, a butcher. Later, because of Lv Zhi, she was named the first female marquis in Chinese history, but after the death of Lv Zhi, other When someone turned against Ge Lu's family, he was beaten to death with random sticks, and his end was miserable.
He was in power for a while, but after his death, his family was uprooted. I don't know how Duke Lu will feel about this result.
The two girls sit down,
Out of curiosity, Jiang Hao opened his eyes to look at the two women, and saw Lu Zhi surrounded by this layer of golden light, Jiang Hao was shocked, this is indeed the fate of the rich and powerful, and looking at Lu Su, it is also a layer of golden light White, not cheap.
Seeing this, Jiang Hao suddenly smiled. Am I stupid? I already knew their history, so what else to look at.
Seeing Jiang Hao laughing, Lu Zhi asked, "Why is Mr. Jiang laughing, but what funny things did you think of?"
Jiang Hao looked at Lu Zhi, and said, "I just thought of a question. You said, is it better for the family to be stable and last for a thousand years, or to be bright for a while?"
Lu Gong looked at Jiang Hao, "What is the moment of brilliance?"
"The rich and powerful in the palm of your hand are princes and princes, with rich clothes and fine food, and they may be under one person and tens of thousands of people, but they are like meteors, leaving a brilliance in the sky and disappearing in an instant, while the stars in the sky are stable and dim, but they hang in the sky forever. "Jiang Hao said.
Both Lu Gong and Lu Zhi were lost in thought. Sometimes, different people have different opinions on this kind of thing. Everyone has different personalities and has their own choices.
At this moment, I didn't expect that it was Lu Su who spoke first. Lu Su said softly, "If it were me, I would choose a family that is stable and stable, and will continue forever."
But Lu Zhi shook his head, "You have lived for decades, why not shine brightly, even if it disappears in the end, it will leave the most beautiful moment in the night sky, so that more people will remember you, so that you will not live in obscurity for the rest of your life."
The two ladies took their leave after dinner and went back to the carriage. At this time, the night was completely dark. Lu Gong and Jiang Hao were still sitting by the fire and drinking. The dim light of the fire made the figures vaguely visible. They chatted while drinking. The more he found that Jiang Hao was knowledgeable, he could answer the questions he asked himself, and he had his own unique insights. He became more and more satisfied with Jiang Hao.
"Young Master Jiang, how old is this year?"
"I am twenty-seven this year."
"I would venture to ask, did Mr. Jiang ever get married?" Lu Gong asked with a smile.
Jiang Hao knew that the old man was about to recommend two daughters to him.
Jiang Hao smiled, "I have already booked a marriage, but I haven't married yet."
Old man Lu's expression was slightly suffocated, he felt a little lost, but he nodded immediately, "That's right, Mr. Jiang is already twenty-seven, how could he not have a family?"
Although he likes Jiang Hao's talent, but if his daughter can't be his wife, then what's the use of it? If the Lu family wants to climb the golden branch and make a profit, the daughter of the Lu family must be the wife.
Let's stop here.
The two chatted for a few more words, and the old man invited Jiang Hao to go back to the car to sleep together, but Jiang Hao immediately declined, "I see that the servant has set up a tent, just give me one."
Sitting in the tent, Jiang Hao meditated cross-legged, thinking about what happened just now. Old man Lu probably intended to introduce his eldest daughter, Lu Zhi, to him, but he gave up when he heard that he had a fiancée.
Jiang Hao doesn't reject the poisoned Queen Lu's pheasant. If he really takes her in, he will have a way to subdue her. More importantly, Jiang Hao is confident that he will live longer than her, and he has always been on his own. How could she turn the world upside down when she was pressed down by her body.
The three most famous feminists in Chinese history, Empress Lu, Wu Zetian, and Cixi, all developed to that level step by step because their husbands died earlier than them, giving them a chance to take power.
But Jiang Hao doesn't want to provoke her now.
He is just a traveler, a passer-by, and he doesn't want to play a hegemony game with some Liu Bang Xiang Yu in this chaotic world at the end of Qin Dynasty.
His idea was very simple. When he recovered, he would go directly to Goguryeo to find Yushu. He didn't want to complicate the simple problem. If he changed it, he would only change Yushu's life.
After thinking about this, Jiang Hao started to practice with all his heart, and the most important thing is to recover from his injuries as soon as possible.
After one night, Jiang Hao's injuries recovered a lot.
After getting out of the tent, Jiang Hao stretched his body. The servants of the Lu family were already busy, lighting a fire, cooking, packing their bags, and everyone had a simple breakfast and continued on their way.
Lu Gong invited Jiang Hao to the car again, and the two chatted about learning again in the car. Jiang Hao is also a man full of talents and learning. It is not easy to deal with an ancient old man. Sometimes the theory he said can make Lu Gong After thinking about it for a long time, I finally wanted to say hello.
The more we get in touch with each other, the more Lu Gong feels that Jiang Hao's great talent will surely have a great day in the future, but it's a pity in his heart that the other party already has a wife.
At noon, when everyone got out of the car to eat, Lu Su came over with a package, stood in front of Jiang Hao and said timidly: "Mr. Jiang, your package is lost. I don't think there is any clothes to change. My sister and I specially used father's new robe I changed one for you, you can see if it still fits."
Jiang Hao looked at the robe in Lu Su's hand and smiled, "I really haven't changed my clothes now, so you're welcome."
After speaking, he took the robe and climbed back to the carriage. Jiang Hao was no stranger to wearing a robe. He took off his camouflage combat uniform and put on a robe. Look.
"I don't know when I will meet Yu Shu, and I am carrying a tiger charm. Can this thing return to modern times?"
But think about it, in fact, whether to go back or not is not a very important issue for him.
Putting on new clothes, Jiang Hao seemed to be a different person after getting off the car.
Jiang Hao is tall and healthy, with a handsome face and extraordinary bearing. Although he is wearing a plain robe, he reveals a bit of elegance.
Lu Gong looked at Jiang Hao, and finally looked at his hair, and said: "It seems that there is still a hat missing, and it may not be appropriate to wear short hair."
People in ancient times had long hair. In the Qin Dynasty, there was a punishment called "髡", that is, people who made mistakes would have their hair shaved off. If they walked on the street with short hair, they would be regarded as people with criminal records and used to be vigilant. surrounded by eyes.
Jiang Hao suddenly thought what if a monk traveled to the Qin Dynasty?
Ha ha.
Lu Gong took out a hat, and Jiang Hao put it on, and Jiang Hao completely transformed into a Qin Dynasty person.
in the afternoon,
The convoy entered a town, only to find that the town was a bit depressed, many shops were closed and there were few pedestrians on the road.
"This place is located on a main road, why is it so desolate, could something have happened?" Lu Gong asked curiously.
At this moment, a group of men, women and children in tattered clothes gathered around, including men, women, old and young, all of them looked sallow and emaciated, as if they were begging for food after suffering from a famine.
There were even children who were crying from hunger, held in the arms of their mothers, and looked expectantly at the convoy.
