"I wonder what's the matter, Magistrate Su?" Lu Zhi asked as he looked at Su Yan.”
Su Yan smiled." I heard that Duke Zigan is a famous scholar. He once studied with Duke Ma together with Duke Zheng and Duke Guan. He is very knowledgeable. I came to visit him today to ask some questions."”
Lu Zhi smiled faintly." I don't dare to advise you. If you have any questions, just ask."”
Although Lu Zhi appeared indifferent, he could not help but feel smug when he heard Su Yan's praise.
After all, as long as one liked to hear good words, the feeling of being praised was quite comfortable.
"What do you think of the current situation in the world?" Su Yan asked.”
This was a big question. It could be considered a policy discussion. Different people had different answers.
Lu Zhi stroked his beard and replied,""Although there are rebellions everywhere in the world today, bandits are constantly appearing, and crafty sycophants are in power in the imperial court, causing trouble for the court.”
"However, the dignity of the Great Han Dynasty is still there, and the Han Dynasty is still stable. As long as we wait for a person of insight to take control of the imperial court and do what Yi Yin and Huo Guang did, the Great Han Dynasty will definitely rise again!”
Yi Yin and Huo Guang were both important figures who could turn the tide and revive the imperial court with their own strength.
Lu Zhi was a person with great foresight. He was knowledgeable and could see the situation in the world clearly.
The two disciples he had taken in, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan, had both proved his ability to judge people.
The two of them became powerful dukes in the future, and it was obvious that their foresight was not something ordinary people could compare to.
However, he was loyal to the Han Dynasty.
Even though he had seen the situation clearly, he still hoped that someone would step forward and do what Yi and Huo did.
He didn't want to believe that the Han Dynasty had declined, and he believed that the Han Dynasty could still persist.
This was his stubbornness and also a fatal mistake.
Su Yan knew his personality and knew what he was thinking, so he did not refute him. Instead, he said in realization,
"After listening to Zi Gan Gong's words, this junior felt as if he had been enlightened.”
"Listening to you is better than reading ten years of books?”
When Lu Zhi heard Su Yan's words, he muttered a few sentences and smiled,"This sentence sounds quite philosophical. It seems that County Magistrate Su is also a studious person.”
Su Yan smiled and said," I often read the scriptures. Even when I'm dealing with government affairs, I'll read them in my spare time. After all, there's no end to learning. I also want to reach the level of knowledge Zi Gan Gong has.”
Lu Zhi was a little proud after hearing this. He waved his hand and said,"County Magistrate Su, you flatter me."
Su Yan thought for a moment and said," I heard that Duke Zigan was framed by a traitor, causing the imperial court to dismiss him and return to his hometown. This move is somewhat disappointing."”
As he spoke, he revealed an indignant expression, as if he was avenging Lu Zhi's injustice.
"County Magistrate Su, be careful with your words. This is His Majesty's will. As officials, we should naturally follow it. Don't mention this matter again in the future."
Lu Zhi frowned and said in a deep voice.
Although his expression was quite serious, as if he was dissatisfied with Su Yan's words, he agreed with Su Yan's words in his heart.
He had always done his best for the Imperial Court and put in a lot of effort to quell the rebellion.
Originally, he had already made his arrangements and just needed to wait quietly to claim victory.
Who knew that the imperial court would send a small yellow sect to disgust him and actually openly ask for bribes from him?
Everyone knew that he had always been an honest official and had never bribed anyone. This Little Yellow Sect had completely provoked his taboo by doing so.
He was so angry that he directly rejected the request of the Little Yellow Door. Then, he even questioned him loudly. Even the Ten Attendants behind him were reprimanded.
The Little Yellow Sect did not dare to challenge him. With resentment in his heart, he directly returned to the capital to complain to the Ten Attendants of the Everlasting Peace.
When Zhang Rang and the others heard Lu Zhi's words, they were also extremely resentful. They directly spoke to the Emperor. Lu Zhi had not made any progress in the battle and even spoke ill of him behind his back.
When Emperor Ling of Han heard this, he was naturally furious. He immediately dismissed Lu Zhi and told him to go back to where he came from.
When Lu Zhi heard about this, he was also very angry, but he was more helpless and instantly disheartened.
He was actually very dissatisfied with the Imperial Court.
It was just that his loyalty to the monarch and his love for the country forced him to not discuss any topics that were contrary to it.
Therefore, although he was dissatisfied with Su Yan's words on the surface, he actually agreed with him very much in his heart. He was a little touched that Su Yan was angry and unfair for him.
He said,"I heard that County Magistrate Su has set up a shop to bid and has taken good care of the Lu family. I hereby thank County Magistrate Su."”
"It's just a small matter, what's there to mention. Duke Zigan's teachings are good, and the Lu family is a scholarly family.”
Su Yan laughed.
"County Magistrate Su, you flatter me. If you need my help, feel free to tell me."”
Su Yan was overjoyed when he heard this. He had been waiting for this sentence.
He took a deep breath, looked at Lu Zhi, and said solemnly,""I do have a request that I hope Duke Zigan will agree to.”
"County Magistrate Su, just say it."
Lu Zhi asked curiously.
"What I want is to be included in Duke Zi Gan's sect and listen to his teachings."”
This was Su Yan's goal this time.
Take Lu Zhi as your master!
Lu Zhi was a famous scholar in the world. He was a fellow disciple of Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning, and the others. He was very famous in the scholarly community.
If Su Yan could become his disciple, it would be equivalent to finding a very impressive background for himself and winning the respect of many people.
When Lu Zhi was recalled by the imperial court to be an official, Su Yan would benefit greatly from his influence in the officialdom. His reputation would also rise.
With fame, there would be talents who would come to seek refuge. At that time, his power would increase.
It could be said that the identity of such a disciple was much stronger than Su Yan's own Eldest Young Master of the Don't Drive Mansion.
The identity of the eldest young master was only useful in Youzhou Province, but the identity of Lu Zhi's disciple could be used in the world, and anyone would treat him with respect.
This was a choice that had all the benefits and no harm.
Lu Zhi was a little surprised.
He did not expect Su Yan to make such a request. He originally thought that it would be difficult, but it turned out that he only wanted to be his disciple.
" Magistrate Su, it's fine if you want to become my disciple," Lu Zhi said in a deep voice." But I've always been strict with my disciples. I'm afraid you can't take it. I hope you can consider it carefully."”
"A gentleman makes a promise and never returns." Zi Gan Gong is strict with me because he is good to me. I naturally understand you.”
"Very good, then I promise you."
Lu Zhi nodded.
"Disciple greets teacher!"
Su Yan was overjoyed. He stood up and bowed respectfully to Lu Zhi.
Du Ji sat below and saw Su Yan convince Lu Zhi to accept him as a disciple with just a few words. He admired him in his heart.
Many scholars wanted to be Lu Zhi's disciple, but ordinary people could not succeed and were difficult to enter Lu Zhi's eyes.
For Su Yan to succeed, it could be seen how strong his ability was. He was actually able to make Lu Zhi admire him endlessly.
Everything was so shocking.
