Chapter 262 Lu Kang found that things are not simple
Historically, the couple Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua can be said to be a model of marital disharmony after middle age.
And why Sima Yi could pretend to be so good outside, but didn't even bother to do the most basic hiding between husband and wife, Bai Tu didn't know.
But judging from Zhang Chunhua's performance before and after, we can find that her IQ and vision are very high, and she even has a good view of the overall situation. Her decisiveness and ability to act are amazing, but her emotional intelligence... is very low!
Who is Mrs. Bai?
A mere concubine...
After all, Sima Yi was not an emperor, and he was not considered a master at that time. No matter how powerful he was, his backyard was still very different from his "harem", and his beloved concubines would not have any backstage.
The concubines in the harem, relying on their favor and the power of their natal family, may be able to challenge the queen. After all, the emperor is fundamentally different from other people. The concubines are also the legitimate daughters of the noble family. Only the emperor or the master can have this kind of "
Taking a "concubine" is also considered as a "marriage" privilege.
But the concubines of powerful ministers are still "concubines" after all. Without the backing of their natal family, what qualifications do they have to compete with the official wife?
What's more, Zhang Chunhua also has three sons, two of whom are the heirs who were carefully taught by Sima Yi...
The advantage of Feilongqiu has been reduced to the point where he has to drag his son with him to go on a hunger strike?
Compared with Zhang Chunhua's decisiveness and ruthlessness when he was young, he doesn't look like the same person at all, which shows the huge gap between his IQ and EQ!
This in itself is her flaw, and if she wants to become an official, this flaw will be amplified because of her gender...
So Bai Tu directly pointed out this point - after all, Zhang Chunhua's talent was not high enough for Bai Tu to ignore her shortcomings... Five years ago, Bai Tu had not crossed the river, or was still shrinking in Qu Aji
While there, maybe.
However, Zhang Chunhua's final decision really surprised Bai Tu.
People all have shortcomings and they all grow!
With Zhang Chunhua's current ability, if she were to be the chief clerk of the Sixth Department, her interpersonal skills would be limited, but... as a small assistant, it would be more than enough.
Moreover, starting from the grassroots level can help Zhang Chunhua gradually gain the trust of her colleagues and exercise her poor emotional intelligence...
If everything goes well, he might actually become the chief officer of the Sixth Department in the future - after all, his starting point of ability is "no less than Jiang Wan", and considering Zhang Chunhua's age, it is not low in the General's Mansion!
Equivalent to a person with "Sun Ce's emotional intelligence" and "Pang Tong's appearance"... Sun Quan.
Sun Ce's emotional intelligence is not very high in situations other than "Young Mu Ai", but his good looks are outstanding, and he is "bold" even if he is carefree. He is naturally able to win favor, and with the help of Zhou Yu, emotional intelligence is not a problem at all, and
Pang Tong's appearance is innately objectionable to others, but his ability and emotional intelligence are all online!
Although Zhang Chunhua has good looks,... her gender will also have a similar effect to Pang Tong's appearance in the officialdom of this era.
Excluding these two points, Zhang Chunhua's ability template is almost the same as that of Sun Quan.
When Zhang Chunhua expressed his willingness to start as a clerk, Bai Tuzhen's eyes lit up, and even... Zhang Chunhua, who looked determined, even flinched a little.
"If that's the case, um... Gongyan, please arrange for Miss Zhang to be in the household department, a position close to the center." Bai Tu said specifically to Jiang Wan.
Arranging personnel is Jiang Wan's task, but Bai Tu specifically told him to stay close to the center, which also hinted to Jiang Wan that an important position must be arranged. Zhang Chunhua will be promoted in the future, not just find a place to idle!
Hearing Bai Tu's words, Jiang Wan said "here" and Zhang Chunhua also breathed a sigh of relief.
Before coming to the Naxian Hall, Zhang Chunhua had never thought that he would only be a minor official. He only thought that either the General's Office would really appoint female officials, and then he would be able to rise to prominence, or... As expected, the previous female officials were just exceptions.
She was also prepared to be rejected.
Unexpectedly, she was bullied by Bai Tu and became "not capable enough to bear the heavy responsibility".
The unwillingness in his heart made Zhang Chunhua still not give up and decided to start as a book assistant!
Of course, Shu Zuo is a handyman to put it bluntly, but the difference between a handyman and a handyman is huge...
Helping the department in government affairs can be a "chore job". Being responsible for serving tea and water, sorting out the pen and ink expenses in the government office and other trivial matters are also "chore jobs"!
But what Bai Tu meant was that he was prepared to give her sufficient training - training does not matter, Zhang Chunhua would rather have more training, rather than idleness...
Lu Bu didn't intervene in Bai Tu's arrangement.
Although it was not impossible for him, as the Privy Councilor, to forcefully support the daughter of his old friend, but... looking at Zhang Chunhua's expression, it was clear that there was no point in doing so, and Bai Tu obviously had other plans.
Instead, Lu Bu secretly stopped Zhang Yang who wanted to persuade Zhang Chunhua...
As for Zhang Yang and Lu Bu, both of them happened to be here now, so Bai Tu also took care of the things entrusted to him by his adoptive father!
First, he praised Zhang Yang harshly and treated him like a subordinate, and then made Zhang Yang the captain of the city gate of Jinling.
Zhang Yang is also very satisfied with this arrangement.
The captain of the city gate...the gatekeeper?
This is true, but generally speaking, the officials guarding the gates are "city gate commanders", and the city gate captains have official positions only in the capital.
After Liu Ju, the prince who was first placed under Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was killed in the witchcraft disaster, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that his prince could actually mobilize troops in the capital. He felt that there were loopholes in the security system of the capital, so he added a "city".
The position of "men school captain".
Although he is only a "Colonel Lieutenant", unlike the lieutenant colonel of the ordinary army, his function is to restrain each other from the "Zhi Jinwu" and the "Northern Army Lieutenant Colonel" who also protect the capital...
Bai Tu also stationed troops at various city gates and appointed "city gate captains" on the grounds that Jinling had "big affairs in the city". Ten years ago, he would have been gossiped about, but twenty years ago, it was estimated that even
Even if he has the merit of enlightenment and is called the reincarnation of Shennong, he will be imprisoned in the capital.
However, now, no one cares about this excessive etiquette.
Zhang Yang also feels that the position of Chengmen Colonel is suitable. At a glance, it is obvious that he is a confidant of the General's Palace, the kind who can bully others. Moreover, he still stays in the prosperous place of Jinling, where he can usually drink with the Fengxian brothers...
…
As for whether Zhang Yang’s ability is up to par?
He can do daily drills and be an ordinary commander. He is only responsible for garrisoning troops at each city gate. There are real defenders outside the city. Even if someone really beats him at the door of his house, it will not be his turn to take the lead.
Not long after Bai Tu left the Naxian Hall, the news that there was another female officer in the Sixth Department spread among the top bosses in Aurous Hill...
There was indeed some resistance at first, but... after hearing that he was just an assistant, most people just nodded.
It’s not that they disdain the official Shu Zuo, but they also understand that this “Shu Zuo” will probably be the focus of promotion in the future!
But since they have started from the grassroots level, it is only right that they can really achieve results and get promoted...
Those who are single-minded and resist for the sake of resisting are only a few after all. After all, the Eastern Han Dynasty is not the Song and Ming Dynasties.
This is why Bai Tu's eyes lit up when he learned that Zhang Chunhua was willing to be his assistant - if Zhang Chunhua can succeed, then she will be the best example.
Bai Tu will not give her preferential treatment, but he is willing to give her a chance to perform.
It's just that after Lu Kang saw Zhang Chunhua, he felt some worries that were not allowed to be recognized by outsiders for the time being...
It wasn't that there was anything wrong with Zhang Chunhua, but that Lao Lu suddenly discovered something.
So far, there are three female officials in the General's Mansion - Lu Lingqi, Huang Yueying, and Zhang Chunhua.
Although she is only a female official, the Lord is so noble, upright, unyielding, and dignified in appearance... It is impossible that she has any strange thoughts and is just a "meritocracy". However, considering that Bai Tu has not yet been married, this
The problem seems to be quite big!
Regarding Bai Tu's marriage, everyone knows that Bai Tu has a stubborn temper, so even if he is impatient, he will not often give advice. But as the head of the general's palace, his marriage...how could other important officials not think more about it?
Lu Lingqi represents the old Bingzhou tribe who first followed Bai Tu. Needless to say Privy Councilor Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun... can all be regarded as her "backstage", so everyone agrees that she will be Bai Tu.
His first wife, even if she is a member of the Jiangdong noble family, will not have any further thoughts for the time being. After all, she is the foundation of Bai Tu's career.
Huang Yueying...Nanyang Huang family?
No, it is indeed the Nanyang Huang clan in name, but even the crossbow has been made, how could it not be reminiscent of the Battle of Jiangxia?
How is it possible that no one has explored its origins?
Therefore, "Nanyang Huang Yueying" is just a window paper that no one has pierced. Everyone knows that she is "Nanjun Huang Yueying"!
The Huang family of Nanjun is undoubtedly a large family in Jingzhou. If Jingzhou is also brought under the general's command in the future, Huang Yueying will be followed by the entire Jingzhou group...
Now another Zhang Chunhua from Hanoi has appeared. Although this is too broad to represent the "North", but... those "lonely" foreign nobles may not unite because of this!
If you calculate it like this, Lao Lu can’t help but wonder—that’s not right! Why are there no people from Jiangdong alone?
In the affairs of the world, we should not worry about the few, but the imbalance!
Bai Tu has always been unmarried, and everyone can still tolerate it, but... if you marry all the base, outsiders, and Jingzhou people, but ignore the Jiangdong Group, then you have to think too much.
Already.
Of course, Lao Lu didn't say this to anyone specifically.
After all, Bai Tu didn't say that he had any "unusual" relationship with Huang Yueying and Zhang Chunhua. Can Lao Lu not trust Bai Tu's character?
It's just that... I have been asked "whether I am getting married" every time, which makes Lao Lu a little worried.
Although he didn't tell anyone, Lao Lu began to think about it in his heart - don't we in Jiangdong have talented girls of the right age?
It's not quite appropriate to say she is a "talented woman", it is better to be a woman who has the ability to manage politics!
"Mr. Lu, what do you think of the new Zhang Shuzuo?" Yu Fan asked curiously.
Now Yu Fan has resigned from his post in Lujiang and returned to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
"Zhongxiang, our Jiangdong...do you have any female officials worth recommending?" Lu Kang didn't react yet, so he just followed what he was thinking and asked.
Yu Fan:???
Are you always so direct?
You have completely "fallen" to the lord's side, and you have to take the initiative to recommend female officials?
Could it be that your Lu family also has an aunt and grandmother in the General’s Mansion?
