A stone caused a thousand waves. After the emperor came out of seclusion, he suddenly wanted to investigate Lu Zheng's crime of dereliction of duty in the city defense camp. This news shocked the entire court.

The first shock was because Emperor Xinde had not asked about political affairs for a long time. He has been immersed in the world of practicing Taoism every year over the years. Even if he occasionally appears, he is very interested. He leaves everything in the court to others to take care of.

As for the occasional matter of requiring him to make arbitrary decision, he also made a decisive decision. He had never mobilized the people involved in such a way, and even alarmed all the civil and military officials of the court.

The second shock was because Lu Zheng really turned to the King of Qi, which seemed incredible to many people! In the current court, the King of Qi is the most powerless prince. Lu Zheng is known as the number one talented man in Dakang, and is also very popular with the emperor. He can choose the King of Qin and the Crown Prince.

Whether it is the crown prince or the king of Qin, they must win over Lu Zheng in every way. Even if the eldest princess interferes with it, the difficulties encountered by Lu Zheng are only temporary. In the Eastern Palace and the Qin Palace, Lu Zheng will eventually have a place.

But Lu Zheng actually chose King Qi, which was too impulsive. With the little resources in King Qi's hands, what kind of help can he bring to his career? As expected, the eldest princess said just a few words in front of the emperor, and Lu Zheng encountered an unprecedented crisis. If this crisis is not handled properly, Lu Zheng will lose his holy favor and everything will be done.

All the ministers in the imperial cabinet were invited to Xiyuan. Faced with the emperor's questioning, these prime ministers who had long been no longer in the past would still talk to Lu Zheng? The eldest princess is famous for being strong. She said that Lu Zheng was ungrateful, so could there be any falsehood?

Looking at the entire court, the ministers were either from the Eastern Palace or from the King of Qin and the Princess. Lu Zheng turned to the King of Qin, who would help him speak? For a moment, the ministers of the cabinet agreed with the eldest princess's meaning, and Emperor Xinde's face became even more gloomy.

When His Highness King Qi saw this scene, his heart was filled with coldness. He wanted to help Lu Zheng, but what could he do in this situation? He was really powerless and helpless.

In this situation, facing Lu Zheng's extreme disadvantage. If you want to turn the situation around, only Lu Zheng can use a strange move. Now everyone is waiting for Lu Zheng to come to Xiyuan.

The weather in the capital was not very good. It had just snowed and it was cold outside. Lu Zheng's carriage was not moving fast. He slowly walked through the corridor of the palace and walked until the west garden.

The eunuch Feng Ren, the chief eunuch, did not care about the cold wind and guarded the door himself. When he saw Lu Zheng coming out of the carriage, his pupils suddenly retracted, and his spirit dissipated, and he returned to the harmless appearance of humans and animals.

"Mr. Lu, you are here. If you don't come again, the old slave may have to drag your life to Lu's mansion to invite you in person! Your Majesty has just left the customs and invites all the princes and ministers today. I have called your name. Why don't you meet him quickly?" Feng Ren said.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Eunuch Feng, I'm afraid things are not that simple, right? Lu is just a small official from the fourth rank, so how can he have the chance to see the emperor? Lu has such honor today, but I'm afraid the eldest princess will be awarded the contribution! Haha!"

After Lu Zheng finished speaking, he laughed loudly. Feng Ren was stunned for a moment, but he didn't know how to speak for a moment. He was old and had a good relationship with Dai Gao before. Lu Zheng was considered his junior. According to the rules, he should remind Lu Zheng to at least make Lu Zheng a little mentally prepared.

But now Dai Gao is no longer in power, and Feng Ren thinks that it is better to have less than more things. The palace is so big that there is no secret at all. Feng Ren is worried that his actions will offend the King of Qin or the eldest princess, and when he turns back and is jealous of these two people, wouldn’t that be worth the loss?

Feng Ren became a mute, but unexpectedly, Lu Zheng felt like a mirror in his heart. He had already understood the whole story of the matter. Feng Ren was really embarrassed, with a faceless face, but he was a little curious, and became more and more interested in what was going to happen next.

He suddenly realized that the young man named Lu had never been simple. He dared to fight Dai Gao alone back then. Although the eldest princess is domineering now, when it comes to conspiracy and tricks, it is more than a little bit different from Dai Gao. Lu Zheng and her fight may not necessarily be at a disadvantage!

Feng Ren accompanied Lu Zheng, and the two of them arrived in the Xiyuan. There were many people in the Xiyuan conference hall. When Lu Zheng entered the door, all his eyes fell on him.

Lu Zheng was focused and looked at the eyes around him without hearing. He walked to Emperor Xinde in a regular manner, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "I am the lady Lu Zheng, please see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"

Emperor Xinde's eyes fell on him, and there was no sign of happiness or anger. He raised his hand gently and said, "Lu Qing, do you know what I asked you to come today because of something?"

Lu Zheng slowly stood up and said with neither humility nor arrogant words: "I am very frightened when I heard that the emperor summoned me. I thought about it carefully along the way and felt that the empress can have such honors today must be because of the eldest princess's beautiful words. Since I took office, I have been repeatedly supported and taken care of by the eldest princess, and gradually gained a foothold. I think that today's empress can see Your Majesty with a humble body, which must be related to the princess!"

"Haha!" Emperor Xinde's face, which had no expression at first, instantly dissipated, laughed loudly, and said, "Lingxiu, look at my ministers, how well he said? Is he right? Very right!"

When Emperor Xinde said this, people in the room looked at each other. Long Lingxiu's face was very gloomy, and she gritted her teeth in her heart, wishing she could go up and bite Lu Zheng.

She, Long Lingxiu, is also hard to deal with, but Lu Zheng is even more...hey...

Emperor Xinde smiled and said seriously: "Lu Zheng, I heard that you are not doing military affairs in the city defense camp, and are devoted to Cuju, turning the city defense camp into Cuju field. Is there any such thing?"

Lu Zheng said word by word: "Your Majesty, don't listen to the rumors. I am very frightened by Your Majesty's entrusted with important tasks. I dare not slack off at all times. In the past six months, I am always remembering Your Majesty's teachings, trembling as if walking on thin ice. How dare I neglect my duties?"

After Lu Zheng finished speaking, the audience was in an uproar. Emperor Xinde was in a short time of interest, but now his eyes were shiny in an instant, and he seemed to have increased his interest. He said, "Okay, okay, Lu Zheng, can I really hear the slander? Today, all the cabinet ministers are here. I will tell you, these ministers said that you were neglecting your duties. Come on, Duan Qing, Su Qing, Zuo Qing, you tell Lu Zheng, what's going on?"

The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Duan Tanglin, Su Xinghai, and Zuo Jie all stood up one after another. When things came to this point, they didn't care about anything else and could only go all the way to the darkness. Otherwise, they would be the crime of deceiving the king, and the crime would be great!

The three adults spoke in unison and told all the things Lu Zheng had about Cuju in the city defense camp one by one. It can be said that it is reasonable and evidence is conclusive.

As soon as several ministers finished speaking, Emperor Xinde stared at Lu Zheng with sharp eyes and said, "Lu Zheng, the three masters are the same, what do you have to say?"

"Ha! Ha!" Lu Zheng laughed loudly, and said proudly: "The three prime ministers are all civil officials, what military affairs do you know? I asked the three prime ministers, how should our city defense camp train troops? In the important part of the capital, if our city defense camp rashly takes action, enters and leaves the city rashly and sways, it will inevitably attract the attention of all parties in the capital, even various discussions, and even rumors!

I dare to ask, sirs, do you know how the city defense camp trained troops in the past?"

When Lu Zheng asked this, the three prime ministers looked at each other. They were different military affairs, where could they answer Lu Zheng’s questions? Among the three, the only left stairs were broad-minded and immediately said: "Master Lu, even if there is a difficulty in training troops in the city defense camp, you shouldn’t let the military affairs of the capital capital be abandoned, and the city defense camp degenerates. Every day is just a game. Do you know that you have let the holy grace be defeated when you do this?"

Lu Zheng sneered and said, "Master Zuo, you are not in military affairs, so it is understandable to say such words. Do you know that although Cuju is a game, it is also brave and resourceful, requires formation, unity, unity and cooperation, and orders are required?

I, Lu, had a glimpse of the essence of Cuju, so I introduced Cuju into the training of my city defense camp. The three thousand soldiers of my city defense camp were reborn in just half a year under my training. The habit of playing dandy has long disappeared. The whole army has been ordered and prohibited, which is no less than the elite soldiers of the Da Nei Imperial Army. You don’t know the key points in this, and listen to others’ troubles and follow the crowd. It’s really ridiculous!”

"Bold, I'm crazy!" Zuo Jie's face turned red, he was furious and shouted angrily.

Lu Zheng ignored the identity of the other party's prime minister and continued to say coldly: "My lords, don't be angry. You don't know about this. But Your Majesty is wise and knows it in your heart! Your Majesty is proficient in military affairs and is more proficient in Cuju. There was once saying: "Cuju is like training troops, and it is all in one mind!" As a minister, you and others do not remember Your Majesty's holy words and dare to scold Lu for being crazy. It's a joke!"

As soon as Lu Zheng said this, Zuo Jie and others looked pale in an instant. His Majesty had really said Cuju to train soldiers? They had almost no hesitation and immediately fell to their knees. At this time, they did not dare to suspect that Lu Zheng would lie. The emperor said wisely. If Lu Zheng dared to lie, it would be a deception to the emperor. No matter how brave Lu Zheng was, he would not dare to do such a thing!

"I'm waiting for thousands of deaths! I don't know your majesty's deep meaning!" Zuo Jie and others paused their heads and said inexplicably. Emperor Xinde stared at Lu Zheng with his eyes narrowed and laughed, saying:
Chapter completed!
