Catastrophe
Chapter 1242: trickery
When Lu Tianhe heard Lu Kuan's report of Lu Meng's return, he was a little surprised: "Did Lu Meng say that he met me for some reason?"
"I asked, the fourth young master didn't say anything, he just said he was coming back to report his work, and he came to the house to have a look." Lu Kuan shook his head slightly and continued to ask: "Master, do you want me to inform the fourth young master to attend the luncheon? "
"No need, Lu Meng is stubborn by nature, impulsive and reckless, let him participate in the luncheon, what kind of moth is there? Now the Lu Heng family is targeting us everywhere. For the sake of Lu Tao, I have been asking everyone to bear it. Now The people in the small family below are already dissatisfied, and if something happens to Lu Meng, my face will be ugly."
Lu Tianhe thought for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Let him wait, I will meet him before lunch."
"clear."
Lu Kuan took the order and turned to leave.
As the head of the family, Lu Tianhe needs to meet not only these people in the room at this time. For the next hour, he has been listening to reports from family members and mediating some internal conflicts.
After everything was done, he left the tea room, got up and went to the study upstairs.
At this time, Lu Meng was sitting on the sofa reading with a book in his hand. When he saw Lu Tianhe entering the door, he immediately got up: "Father, you are here."
Lu Tianhe walked towards the desk: "What book are you reading?"
Lu Meng smiled and said, "Historical Records."
"It's good to read a lot of history. Reading history makes people wise." Lu Tianhe sat on the chair: "Unfortunately, my historical record is a fragment. After searching for a long time, I couldn't find the missing part."
"This book is very fresh, but it's nothing new. History is nothing but a constant cycle. Nothing has happened, and nothing new has happened. No matter how bright the outside is, the core remains the same."
Lu Meng walked to the tea table, poured a cup of hot tea and sent it to Lu Tianhe: "In addition to the ups and downs of human civilization and the advancement of science and technology, history is very much like a straight line, running on its own unique trajectory. The bottom is still the bottom, and the ruler is still the ruler.”
"This is very important." Lu Tianhe lifted the lid of the Sancai Cup and gently pushed away the floating tea leaves: "You have to remember that the essence of politics is to serve the public, but the essence of politicians is not. People in politics must learn to To use the power in our hands to benefit ourselves, we must not only find a way to continue our dominance smoothly, but also let us have great wealth.”
Lu Meng sat across from the desk: "Dad, this is contrary to the duties of an official."
"A good reputation is for the people. You are the son of a chaebol, or my son, Lu Tianhe. I don't believe you can't see that behind the prosperity of our family, there is a **** road. If we don't have our own interests, we will spend money With such great strength and great sacrifice, why did you come to this position?"
Lu Tianhe moistened his throat with tea and continued: "As you said, there is nothing new under the sun, in this world, no politics is clear, people's eyes can be covered, but as you Those who cover their eyes must keep their heads clear.
Besides, it's not the old world anymore. We are chaebols. Everything on this land belongs to us, not the people. Your biggest problem is that you can see this clearly, but you are unwilling to accept it. "
Lu Meng pouted and said, "Dad, in fact, I think you have a biased view of me. I am not unwilling to accept this, but I think that only when the Lu family unites as one, can they become stronger. After the chaebol becomes stronger, We are the biggest vested interests, what do you think?"
"In the old world, there was a word called the wealth of the country and the strength of the people, but this word does not apply to today's era. Don't look at the prosperity of today's era, but the people's impression of the chaebols is not all satisfied. If the people are too strong, the chaebols will interests will be damaged.”
Lu Tianhe put down the teacup and said in a flat tone: "The operation policy of the chaebols is set by all the members of the Elder Council, you can't always think that you are right, and whether the people of the Lu family are strong or not is not necessarily in the interests of the chaebols. hook up.
It is true that we are an interest group, but we do not have a bitter relationship with the people. The reason why power is power is that it cannot be restrained, it will only yield to a higher power, and exchange benefits with equal power, and this Everything is done in private, and even if it cannot be concealed, it is portrayed as a check and balance, and it is made to convince the governed that it is true.
We can allow the existence of individuals who betray the class, but we must not allow the existence of groups that betray the class. Power is something that cannot be controlled by a single person. If you insist on going your own way, you will always hurt the interests of others and make your own path forward. , you have to remember that humans are not absolutely rational creatures, but politicians have to do it. "
After listening to Lu Tianhe's words, Lu Meng nodded slightly: "I remember your words, and I will avoid such arguments in the future."
When Lu Tianhe heard Lu Meng's answer, the expression on his face did not change, but there was a slight fluctuation in his heart.
He is a smart person, just by the two of them chatting, he already understands that Lu Meng is subduing himself, and said in a flat tone: "You can also participate in the luncheon at noon, you have been at the border for so long. , and you should show your face in front of the elders at home and report safety."
Lu Meng nodded slightly: "Okay, I see."
"When you come back to report this time, you must talk less and read more, and ask for stability in everything." Lu Tianhe paused: "On the premise of not affecting your second brother, I can allow you to stay in the capital."
"Hey!"
Hearing this, Lu Meng breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.
Lu Tianhe continued to ask, "How is your relationship with the revolutionary army?"
Lu Meng responded without hesitation: "Dad, I have nothing to do with the revolutionary army."
"This is at home, not in the military department. You don't need to be so nervous." Lu Tianhe opened the drawer and took out a cigar: "You were able to come to the capital from the mercenary unit to report your work because you did something unexpected. As many people expected, it ended so many years of chaos in the border area.
This credit is not big or small, because you only made the border area peaceful, but did not solve the problem, and this credit is the only capital you can rely on, and you want it to work , you have to prove your means. "
Lu Meng got up and helped Lu Tianhe light the cigarette: "Dad, I don't quite understand what you mean~lightnovelpub.net~ Lu Tianhe said in a calm tone: "After you stay in the capital, the border areas must be re-chaotic. , you have to prove to others that the stability of the border area is because of your presence, not because the place itself is in a stable state. Only in this way, the people above will notice you. "
The corners of Lu Meng's eyes twitched: "Dad, but if this happens, will they be sent to the frontier again?"
Lu Tianhe smiled: "If you don't have a background, you will naturally be abandoned, but with the support of the family, this kind of thing will not happen, I will ask for the command of the frontier and give it to you. Once you have military power, you can speak with confidence in the military circle."
"Dad, this..."
Lu Meng never imagined that Lu Tianhe could open such a big hole for him.
"Your brother is about to enter the military world. He can't be alone, and he needs a helper." Lu Tianhe paused: "Although Duke Huan treats you well, he is an outsider after all, and he will never have a family to trust, understand. ?"
Hearing this, Lu Meng was stunned.
