Chapter 324 See King Qin!
After leaving the Liuhe County Government, Lu Zheng was in a bad mood. He felt that Nie Yong was on the wrong path. The two of them had a match between master and apprentice, but he was powerless.
People will change, especially when facing interests and temptations, sharing hardships and wealth is difficult. Nie Yong is now full of confidence and wants to go back to the capital to do a big battle. Not only should he get back what he lost, but he would also rise to the top and even enter the cabinet to become the prime minister.
In his opinion, the crown prince is the crown prince and the future emperor. He now surrenders to the crown prince and has made contributions to supporting the crown prince. In the future, the crown prince will ascend the throne. He will naturally be a close minister of the new emperor. If the crown prince wants to hire people, he is the best choice.
I have to say that in logic, Nie Yong's idea is correct, but the problem is that the current Emperor of the Great Kang Dynasty is in full swing in Spring and Autumn, Dai Gao is in power in the court, and although the crown prince is the crown prince, the King of Qi and King of Qin compete with him, and his power is not at present.
The battle for imperial power has been the most dangerous thing in the world since ancient times. Throughout history, in order to fight for imperial power, Nie Yong buryed many heroes. From then on, he was deeply trapped in the quagmire and could no longer extricate himself. In the second half of his life, he would prosper with the prince and lose both together. In Lu Zheng's opinion, it was really unwise.
In addition, Nie Yong got great benefits in Liuhe. Some people secretly said that Nie Yong could achieve current achievements, mainly because of Lu Zheng. After hearing this too much, Nie Yong felt like he was enjoying it.
Lu Zheng's ability is obvious to all, but Nie Yong wants to come, he is the county magistrate of Liuhe. Lu Zheng has done so many things in the Sankong Bridge of Liuhe. If it weren't for the power of his county magistrate, could he achieve the current achievements?
Why do others only say that Nie Yong relies on Lu Zheng to achieve current political achievements? Besides, the master-apprenticeship between Lu Zheng and Nie Yong has long been determined. Where is the reason why a teacher relies on a disciple in this world?
People's hearts are complicated, and Lu Zheng is very helpless when he is a master and apprentice.
When I returned home from the county government office, I heard a noise next door at the entrance of the yard. The Nanfu Army's personal guards blocked the entire street. I saw a lot of people wandering around Cheng Hu's yard from afar.
The person in charge of the personal guard was Liu Song, who had just recovered from injury. Lu Zheng waved his hand and called him over and said, "What's wrong with Brother Song? It's so lively?"
Liu Song tiptoed over and said, "Lu Zheng, what big thing is going on! What kind of guests have come to General Cheng's house? Let me tell you, the King of Qin Qiansui is here, and the great governor, Lord Zhan and his party are all high-ranking officials! Tsk, tsk, this is the first time I have seen so many officials!"
"Oh?" Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Cheng Hu's yard. There was no one to see. At this moment, Ying'er opened the door. The little girl's film was probably scared by this show. She was very nervous. When she saw Lu Zheng, she said:
"Young Master, come in quickly! The butler from General Cheng's mansion came here to invite you!"
Cheng Hu was originally a family in the world. After arriving at Liuhe, Lu Zheng gave him a house and he had a relatively stable home. All the housekeepers and servants in the family should have been arranged by Lu Zheng for Gu Zhilun.
The housekeeper in his mansion, named Zhong Wei, was the shopkeeper who was in Yangzhou who was in charge of Gu Zhilun, and he was calm and reliable in his work. The housekeeper in Cheng Hu's mansion, Gu Zhilun, dared not arrange anyone casually, so he asked Zhong Wei to do this.
"Young Master Zheng is back?" Zhong Wei kneeled respectfully when he saw Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng hurriedly reached out to support the others and said, "Butler Zhong, you are so polite!"
Zhong Wei said: "Where can we, as slaves, not understand the rules? Speaking of which, Mr. Zheng is also the benefactor of the slave. If the young master had not done a big thing in Jinling, the slave was still living in Yangzhou, how could he have the decent place today?"
Zhong Wei's words were very sincere. In fact, it was not just him, but Gu Zhilun was grateful to Lu Zheng. Before Gu Zhilun met Lu Zheng, he was just an ordinary bookseller in Yangzhou, and his total value was only ten thousand taels of silver.
But since he met Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng first let him make a lot of money in Yangzhou. After arriving in Jinling, Gu Zhilun was even more out of control. The richest man in Liuhe County is now Gu Zhilun.
Even the Gu family cannot underestimate him now. It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Zheng’s current status in Liuhe is even higher than that of the county magistrate Nie Yong!
After seeing the ceremony, Butler Zhong and Lu Zheng said, "Young Master Zheng, our master asked me to wait for you here. As soon as you come back, you will take you to the mansion. There are distinguished guests at the mansion today. The master thinks that you must not be absent!"
"This..." Lu Zheng pondered slightly, and was a little unsure for a moment. Is it appropriate for him to see His Highness the King of Qin in the current situation? Besides, the King of Qin is a nobleman of the royal family. Will he take Lu Zheng seriously?
But immediately, he felt relieved. Lu Zheng thought that his identity was just a gangster, so why should he worry about gains and losses? Since Cheng Hu had such an arrangement, there would definitely be a foreshadowing, so Lu Zheng didn't have to worry about it at all.
Since the famous King of Qin has come to Jiangnan, Lu Zheng has the opportunity to see the style, how could he miss it? He immediately asked Zhong Wei to lead the way, and the two of them went straight to Cheng's mansion.
Cheng Mansion, Cheng Hu did not make any special arrangements today. In fact, the King of Qin came here very suddenly. Not to mention Cheng Hu, even Zhan Tianqi felt that it was too hasty.
Your Highness was in a good mood. He walked around Cheng Hu's house and then sat down in the living room. After the maid served tea, he said, "What a good Cheng Gou'er, you are free and easy. You are quitting the border army. When you arrive in Jiangnan, you are here to enjoy the blessings. If you believe it or not, I will give my father a memorial to him, so that he will waive your post and send you to the border again!"
Cheng Hu smiled and said, "Prince, don't believe me, I'm so idle that I'm going crazy when I'm staying in Jiangnan. Just one word from your words, if I can really let me go to the border army, I will treat you as a Bodhisattva in the future!
Prince, Jiangnan is good, but I still envy the days when I was with Prince to kill the Northern Yan Tartars in the north. That was the life that men should live. They ate wine and meat when they were hungry, and had enough wine and had enough wine and guns to kill the enemy. They were picked up by the way to survive. If they were dead, they would be a man who would be wrapped in a horse and tied up a body!”
The King of Qin smiled and said, "Cheng Gou'er, you can do it, you still have blood! You can wait. One day my father really wants to mobilize troops, I will recommend you!"
The King of Qin and Cheng Hu were old acquaintances. The King of Qin stayed in the border army for a while. At that time, he was young and energetic and liked to show off. Cheng Hu and other bands of border army often surrounded him and followed him to make fun of him.
Time flies, and many years have passed in a blink of an eye. The gang of border troops that year died and scattered, and there are not many left. Cheng Hu accumulated military achievements and became a general, but did not stay in the border army but was transferred to the Jiangnan Nan Prefecture Army. Who could have expected it?
The King of Qin visited the Southern Prefecture Army today and recognized Cheng Hu at a glance. Even though he was in high spirits, Cheng Hu caught the opportunity and naturally catered to him in every way, which made His Highness the King of Qin feel very good.
When they spoke, Zhan Tianqi and several deputy generals became foils, but now this is the case with the Southern Mansion Army. Cheng Hu's cavalry battalion is the absolute main force. Although there are only 5,000 people, these 5,000 people are all elite soldiers.
Especially Lu Zheng and Cheng Hu are sworn brothers, Lu Zheng forced to replace the equipment of the soldiers and generals under Cheng Hu. Cheng Hu's five thousand men were paid with full salary, and there was also a special cavalry training ground along the river.
In addition, Lu Zheng also paid for the repair of the city wall. Cheng Hu's military idea was fully utilized in Liuhe. The combat power of his cavalry battalion can be said to be as good as that of the world's first-class cavalry!
Cheng Hu has such a trump card, and he is strong in his back. Zhan Tianqi is ranked second-rank, so he doesn't take it seriously. There is a joke in the Nanfu army that the commander-in-chief's military order cannot fart Lu Zheng's fart in Cheng Hu!
Cheng Hu said this to the King of Qin, and suddenly saw Butler Zhong walk in. He nodded secretly and said, "Your Highness, you come to my place today. I am a rough man and don't know etiquette. I can't talk about entertaining you!
I see that there are so many talented men around you, and I feel frightened. It just so happens that I have a brother who is close to me and is known as the number one talented man in Jiangnan. I invite him here, hoping to get your eyes on the prince and your spleen and stomach!"
Cheng Hu said this, and the King of Qin smiled and said, "The most talented man in Jiangnan? This name is very reputable. Could it be Mr. Lu Zheng of the Lu family?"
Cheng Hu smiled and said, "The prince is right, it's Lu Zheng!"
"Second brother, come quickly. The prince actually knows the name of the number one talented man in Jiangnan! I don't know where I, Cheng Hu, got the blessing of being a big brother for you. Haha, I feel glorious when I say it out in the future!"
Lu Zheng quickly walked into the hall from outside, and the King of Qin's eyes fell on him. Looking at Lu Zheng's age, he was really a young man in his teens. He was dressed very ordinary, not as luxurious as the young masters of ordinary families. He exuded a strong sense of bookish smell that only scholars could have.
Facing His Highness, Lu Zheng was not panicked. He walked to the King of Qin, knelt down and bowed and said, "The grass-roots Lu Zheng has seen His Highness, the King of Qin!"
The King of Qin raised his hand and said, "If you have fame and fortune, you can't be considered a sage! Brother Zheng, you are such a big name. I have heard of your name in the capital!"
"Get up quickly and let me take a good look at you. Today I want to take a closer look at what our number one talented man in Jiangnan looked like!"
King Qin was very talkative and had a very kind attitude towards Lu Zheng. He followed many talented disciples, and everyone stared at Lu Zheng with curiosity. Obviously, Lu Zheng's youth surprised them.
Among the many people, Zhongfu Ming was not visible and hidden in it. Only Lu Zheng's eyes were so vicious that he saw him at first sight. The two looked at each other. Zhongfu Ming's eyes were as calm as water, and Lu Zheng's mouth was slightly raised, and he smiled without comment.
He stood up and turned to salute Zhan Tianqi: "Student Lu Zheng has met Lord Zhan, and he has met you all!"
Zhan Tianqi then took the opportunity to speak. He stepped forward and patted Lu Zheng on the shoulder, and said in a very intimate manner: "Mr. Nie is going to Beijing soon. Have you said enough to him today?
