Emperor Xinde handled affairs in the court with thunder. The prince was sent to Mount Tai to worship the sky, the King of Qin was sent to the imperial tomb to guard the tomb, the prime minister of the cabinet was dismissed, and the only King of Qi was left in the capital, who had never been exposed to the mountains and rivers.

How did Emperor Xinde treat King Qi? Soon, Emperor Xinde's third decree was released, and all positions were removed from the Governor's Office of the Five Army of Qi, allowing King Qi to enter the cabinet, and assist the Prime Minister of the Cabinet Duan Tanglin to handle government affairs.

After this order, the audience was shocked again. The other two princes left the capital. The King of Qi followed the trend and entered the center of the cabinet. Obviously, in Emperor Xinde's heart, the King of Qi's actions were very consistent with his thoughts!

At this moment, the civil and military officials in the court were confused. You should know that before this, the King of Qi was completely ignored by everyone, but now the situation has reversed. The King of Qi seems to be the prince who has won the Sacred Heart. At this moment, what should the many ministers do?

At this time, many people couldn't help but think of Lu Zheng, and had to admire Lu Zheng's power. Before this, Lu Zheng saw the potential of King Qi and decisively got along with King Qi. Now that the King of Qi has participated in political affairs, why should Lu Zheng worry about not being able to take real power?

Lu Zheng also had many thoughts in his mind. He didn't want others to be so emotional. He thought about what happened today carefully and could probably understand in his mind that no matter how change, he would still be inseparable from his sect. Emperor Xinde still played the technique of balance.

The three princes, the King of Qi is very weak at the moment, so he naturally wants to give it a try. As the prince and the King of Qin are in the limelight, he used the method of temporarily sending them away to free up some time for the King of Qi to gain a foothold in the capital. I have to say that the things that seem dazzling really see the essence, but things are still the same!

But not everyone understands it as Lu Zheng. The reason why Lu Zheng understands all this is because he is two top masters, Lu Changhe and Dai Gao, were standing behind him, otherwise he would not have seen it so thoroughly.

But the others are different. Seeing the earth-shaking changes, the sky is about to fall, especially the parties involved. Looking at the appearance of the King of Qin and the Crown Prince, the pain in their hearts can be imagined.

The King of Qi was in a different mood. He felt that Lu Zheng had more than half of the credit for winning the Sacred Heart this time. It was Lu Zheng's sharp counterattack at the banquet a few days ago that led to His Majesty's determination to do such an amazing move.

Thirty years in Hedong and Thirty years in Hexi, this time King Qi was able to turn over. He felt that he was too lucky. He was grateful to Lu Zheng in his heart and had reached the peak.

The court dispersed, and Lu Zheng came out of the palace. As soon as he walked to his carriage, His Highness, the King of Qi, ran over in a hurry. Regardless of the many ministers around him, he bowed to Lu Zheng in a regular manner and said, "Mr. Lu, I can be valued by my father today because of my contribution. I have great kindness to me. I will follow you if I have a destiny in the future!"

Lu Zheng was startled and quickly held the King of Qi's hand and said, "Your Highness, there are many people here, so it is not appropriate to speak. Let's find a secluded place and talk about what's going on today. How about it?"

King Qi said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day. What's the point today? Let's go to Jinshui River, I will prepare a place, and we can have a few drinks!"

The King of Qi and Lu Zheng came out of the palace together and headed straight for the Jinshui River. This scene was also seen by many people. When they arrived at the Jinshui River, the wine and food were on Qi. Lu Zheng said, "Your Highness, I have a saying that I am blunt. It is probably too early to drink and talk about it at this time! Your Majesty is doing today. At first glance, the King of Qin and the Prince were suppressed, but if you think about it carefully, the King of Qin went to the imperial tomb and the Prince to Mount Tai. These two things are both upright. They are extremely flexible, so they will come back soon, and their power in the court is still not comparable to Your Highness. Judging from the situation, Your Highness is still at a disadvantage!"

When Lu Zheng said this, King Qi was slightly stunned. His smile on his face became solemn, and he said, "I am really a little lost. Please teach me!" He said this very sincerely. Look, he is already in his early forties, and he is twice as old as Lu Zheng, and even older than Lu Qian. But at this time, his posture was very low, completely like a student mentality.

Lu Zheng nodded secretly, thinking that there is no easy person who can become a prince. The cultivation of King Qi is beyond the reach of ordinary people!

Lu Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, you should think about the path you should take. I privately think that Your Highness, you should take a different path than the prince and the King of Qin. Only in this way can you wait for the opportunity!

The path the prince is now undoubtedly the way to the crown prince. He is a great master in the capital, local power families in various provinces, and ministers in the court. He is going to make friends and get close to him and secretly cultivate his team and his troops. Once he needs to ascend the throne, he will have someone to use at any time. Dakang's country can still be as stable as Mount Tai!"

Lu Zheng paused for a moment and continued: "The strategy used by the King of Qin is to compete with the prince, and he is dedicated to fighting the position of the crown prince from the prince. He becomes the crown prince himself, and he can replace him in the future and become the crown prince! Therefore, the strategy he used is to undermine the situation everywhere. He opposed everything that is beneficial to the crown prince, and he supported anything that is unfavorable to the crown prince.

Anyone who is close to the prince is his political enemy, and anyone who is alienated from the prince is his target! Your Highness, have you ever thought about how you should position yourself?"

King Qi frowned deeply. After a long time, he sighed: "I have known that Lord Lu is the number one talent in my dynasty and has a profound knowledge. But today I know that Lord Lu's talent is not only poetry, songs, but also admirable in governing the country. I have never thought about your words before. It is really thought-provoking!"

Lu Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, the advice I have to give to Your Highness is that Your Highness should be a loyal minister. Whether it is the prince's person or the prince of Qin, you have to use it. There is only one condition for you to use it, that is, only talent is the only way to do it! If you do not seek the position of the prince, you only have one mind to help Your Majesty solve your problems. If Your Majesty uses you, you will work diligently. If Your Majesty doesn't need you, you will practice martial arts and soldiers peacefully. What does Your Majesty think?"

King Qi frowned slightly, completely in deep thought. He was caught in Lu Zheng's statement and hesitated because if he did this, wouldn't he have no power at all? Now he went to the cabinet to handle the work, what a good opportunity is this? He can use this opportunity to win over a group of his own people. Although he does not expect these people to compete with the King of Qin and the Crown Prince, he must always have the ability to protect himself, right?

Lu Zheng's statement is like asking King Qi to destroy his martial arts. This is really too dangerous and hesitant!

There are many strategists in the Qi Palace. Zhou Jiuhua, the strategist who the King of Qi usually relies on the most, is a very powerful figure. He has also set up a lot of strategies for the King of Qi, but it is completely different from what Lu Zheng said!

Lu Zheng said: "Your Highness, this matter is very important, and your Highness does not need to make a decision too quickly. Besides, this is just a mere statement and it is not necessarily correct. Your Highness should decide by himself!"

The King of Qi looked a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Lu, it's not that I am hesitating, but that there are hundreds of people in my palace to support me. The strategy set by Lord Lu is indeed thought-provoking, but I have to let everyone in the palace understand the intentions, which will take some time.

Otherwise, you can go to our house tomorrow, so let’s discuss what’s going on?"

Lu Zheng shook his head gently and said, "Your Highness, your friendship is a gentleman's friendship! Da Kang is your Majesty's great blessing, and I am your Majesty's minister. You can have a good relationship with Your Highness, but if you advance and retreat with Your Highness and form an alliance, it will not be of any benefit to the court!

To be honest, the strategy I set for myself is to be a loyal minister and be loyal to Your Majesty. Only Your Majesty's order is to follow. Our scholars, seniority, seniority, and relatives of Heaven and Earth are not just a word, but need to be practiced with one's own deeds!"

When Lu Zheng said this, the King of Qi felt a little disappointed, but it was indeed as Lu Zheng said. Although it was said outside that Lu Zheng turned to King of Qi, the actual situation was not the case. Lu Zheng did not recognize King of Qi as the main person. Lu Zheng said that a gentleman's friendship is a portrayal of the current relationship between the two.

Of course, Lu Zheng knew that his thoughts would not be too easy to accept, because anyone could not suppress his inner impulse when facing temptation. This is human nature!

Lu Zheng could not force others to do this, because Lu Zheng could see through this, so the strategy he gave himself was not to easily turn to one side because he was a bargaining weight.

If the King of Qi and the King of Qin are suppressed, Lu Zheng may have put this weight on the side of the King of Qin. This is a cruel fact.

It's so cruel, just because everything is Xinde Emperor who is in control of the situation. This emperor treats everyone as a pawn! Lu Zheng knows this in his heart, but can he tell the King of Qi these words? It's obviously impossible!

After drinking for a while, King Qi suddenly said, "By the way, Lord Lu, you said that my two brothers and my sister suffered such a big loss today. What will they do next?

I won’t say anything about my two brothers. Most of them are jealous of me more. But my sister is so famous that she will be vengeful and will definitely take this matter to you. Lord Lu, you must be careful and never make any mistakes!"

Lu Zheng's lips curled up slightly and said, "Don't worry, your highness, it's no big deal to stop the water and soil from being covered! Being thought of by Your Highness is probably something that many men in the capital dream of. I, Lu Zheng, have the honor to keep thinking about it all the time. I guess many people are also jealous in the secret, and I'm going crazy! Haha!"
