Chapter 656 King of the subjugated country!
The Lu family's return to Jiangnan and the reconstruction of the Nanfu Army was a plan that Lu Zheng promoted at the same time. It is not an exaggeration to put the importance of the Nanfu Army at any level.
During the rebellion of Long Zhaoyan, Lu Zheng contacted the prefectures in Henan and Hebei. The powerful families in these two provinces were able to challenge the court because they had tens of thousands of troops.
As for the Song family in Longyou, they were almost independent of Dakang for so many years. They were nominally ministers of Dakang and occupied a province of Dakang, but in fact they were independent kingdoms. They were the monarchs of the independent kingdom, and Lu Zheng had personally seen the glory.
Jiangnan is too important. Jiangnan is prosperous and is the granary of the world. This is also the fundamental reason why the court cannot tolerate the existence of Jiangnan's power clan. However, at this time, and at that time, the situation in Dakang has become chaos. Lu Zheng will not only not oppose it in the reconstruction of the Nanfu Army in Jiangnan in order to protect himself, but may even support it.
After all, the two sides were in a hurry for the Dakang court now, Shandong was in a hurry. This was in the east and the west of Longyou. The war was in a hurry. I don’t know when it would end. These two places were peaceful for so many years, but they were seriously torn apart because of the battle for the throne.
The Lu family's plan to return to Jiangnan was very smooth. Lu Shanchang said he was sick. He wanted to return to his roots in his nearly 70s. Besides, he was unemployed in the capital and had any errands. If he had any errands, he didn't even need to report to the emperor when he returned to Jiangnan. He just had to say goodbye to the old man in the capital.
The key interesting point is that several wealthy families in the capital welcomed the departure of the Lu family. The Duan family was originally targeted the Lu family because of Lu Zheng, but this time Duan Xiang was very reasonable.
After the Lu family went to Jiangnan, at least they would not compete with them for resources in the capital. Otherwise, with the close contact between Lu Zheng and Su Xiang, the Lu family took the opportunity to occupy a favorable position, which would inevitably squeeze the living space and resources of several other powerful families in the capital.
In this way, the Lu family was released, and Lu Zheng completely relieved his worries. The huge wealth he had accumulated through Gu Zhilun over the years finally had a place to use. All this in the capital was unpredictable. Even Emperor Xinde, who practiced alchemy in the Western Garden all day long, ignored this matter. He was plotting against the people of the world, how could he avoid the plot of the world?
As usual, Lu Zheng climbed the gate of Dai Mansion again. This time he was in a better mood than ever before! Dai Xiaojing accompanied Dai Gao and Dai Gao went fishing with him. Both the father-in-law and son-in-law were in a good mood and had a lot of money.
"Yes, when people get old, their thoughts fade. Don't panic after encountering something, and then you're in a hurry to find out when you come to your door. You can also come and sit down, have fun, and have a chat!
It is better to burn incense more often than to cram the Buddha’s feet on the spot. Don’t you, such a smart person, understand the truth?" Dai Gao laughed and said, he was in a good mood.
He has been in power for decades, and he retreated as soon as he said he was not in the slightest love. Seeing that he is now and his life is enjoyable, Lu Zheng has to admire him. He thought to himself that his Taoism is really far from being far away!
"Father-in-law, you don't know the capital at the moment. Your Majesty pushed me to the forefront. I really felt pressured. I didn't want to come to see you, but I couldn't!" Lu Zheng said.
Dai Gao smiled and said, "You asked the Lu family to go back to Jiangnan to do a big fight in Jiangnan. Are you trying to be the prime minister of the country that has been destroyed?"
Lu Zheng smiled faintly. He knew that his behavior could not be hidden from Dai Gao, so he said, "Father-in-law, the current situation is like this, I must be careful! Do you think Dakang is the current one? Look at the east side and then the west side, there are all wars! Moreover, both sides of the war are dragon species, the situation is already chaotic, and it may even be out of control. What should we do at that time?
The lessons of Long Lingxiu and Long Zhaoyan are ahead. If I hadn't escaped from you that day, they would have caught them, I'm afraid that our Lu family and you will be ruined!"
Dai Gao sneered and said, "But you are too anxious. Don't you know that you can't help? Your Majesty is a suspicious person. He won't say anything on the surface when you do this, but he will inevitably have thoughts in secret! Once he has thoughts, you can wait. Sooner or later his thoughts will be applied to you. By that time, you may not even have the chance to cry!"
Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment and was completely confused. He knew very well that the person who understood Emperor Xinde the best in this world was Dai Gao, no doubt about it!
Because Dai Gao understood Emperor Xinde, he could only be the chief minister who had been in charge for more than ten years and control Dakang for more than ten years. So what he said would never be aimless.
"Father-in-law, what can you do?" Lu Zheng said, and Dai Gao said, "What else can you do? Young people are ready to practice more! You should be the Minister of Personnel in the capital, and you will join forces with Su Xinghai so quickly!
The court needs balance. You have maintained this delicate balance now, but it is impossible for the east and west sides to continue to fight. There must be a victory or defeat. No matter what kind of victory or defeat, can the princes stay outside for a long time?"
Lu Zheng frowned slightly and understood Dai Gao's meaning in his heart. Lu Zheng seemed very clever when he pushed Su Xinghai up, but in fact, he did not satisfy Emperor Xinde.
At present, Duan and Su's balance of confrontation is also very fragile, because once the prince returns to Beijing, this balance will no longer exist. There will be new changes in the political situation in the capital.
What role will Lu Zheng play in this? Will Emperor Xinde give up his support for him? As soon as he thought of this, his mood became heavy for no reason, and he vaguely thought of the future he might face.
Regardless of the matters in the east or the west, it may end up falling on Lu Zheng. When King Qi went to Shandong, he might not be able to beat the Liaodong Iron Cavalry.
Even if he can beat the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, it will inevitably lead to both sides' losses. It would be fine if the King of Qi, but Long Lingxiu is absolutely difficult to deal with. Maybe at this time, the brother and sister have already had a tacit understanding!
There is no opportunity to solve the problem in Shandong now. Let’s look at the Longyou in the west?
Longyou is even more complicated. If the Qin King could capture Longyou, the Song family would have been in vain in Longyou for so many years! Lu Zheng knew very well that the Song family's power was stronger than the Tan family in Liaodong, and Dakang's first army should be the Longyou Army.
How could the government soldiers summoned by the King of Qin be the opponents of the Longyou Iron Cavalry? Unless he can take advantage of the conflicts within the Song family and divide and win over them, the situation in Longyou will not be able to win...
In this way, there was no hope in the north and south. Lu Zheng suddenly felt a very bad feeling. He vaguely felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes looking at him in the sky. He could not escape these difficult things...
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel depressed. He originally wanted to hide behind Su Xinghai and try harder in the court for a while. Su Xinghai was standing in front of him, and he was so happy under the tree that he lived a free and easy life, and there was no risk yet.
But now he suddenly realized that his thoughts were too naive. How could Emperor Xinde be so fulfilling his wishes? Dai Gao's words made the secret of the problem quickly disillusioned the fantasy in his mind!
My mood was no longer calm, and the fish no longer bite the hook. Lu Zheng's fish catch gradually became rare. Dai Xiaojing hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, we can't take back too many fish, let's go! Uncle Fu has already made all the meal ready!"
Dai Gao was still feeling a little unfulfilled, but his daughter insisted that he had no choice but to sigh softly, saying that the woman was no longer pursuing him.
The three of them packed up their things and returned home. Sure enough, the meal was ready. Lu Zheng was a little absent-minded when he accompanied Dai Gao to have dinner. After a meal, the boy came hurriedly. The emergency military information from Shandong had been delivered in an emergency of 800 miles. The cabinet was in chaos, and His Majesty disappeared...
Lu Zheng frowned and asked, "What's the situation? Is the news reliable?"
The boy said: "Our people conveyed the news, and the news is absolutely reliable. King Qi was defeated, and 50,000 troops were killed by the Liaodong Iron Cavalry on the front line of Maoer Mountain! The King of Qi knew he was defeated and walked south, probably going to the south of the Yangtze River..."
When Lu Zheng heard the news, his hands and feet were cold. King Qi was defeated like this? Five thousand soldiers and horses were killed before they could be unfolded. My god, even more than fifty thousand pigs, it is not easy for the Liaodong Iron Cavalry to slaughter one by one!
It was too unexpected that King Qi was so fragile, which meant that the capital had been completely exposed to the Liaodong Iron Cavalry's military attack, and the capital was in a hurry!
Lu Zheng could not be the winner, so he said goodbye immediately. He didn't even have time to return to the house, so he went straight to the palace. When he arrived at the palace, all the prime ministers of the cabinet, the ministers of the six ministries, and even officials above the third rank in the capital gathered outside the Xiyuan.
Lu Zheng came, and the officials made way for him. He walked all the way forward. The two prime ministers Su Xinghai and Duan Tanglin were like ants in Rewo, and were in a hurry!
"What are the two prime ministers? What should we do now?" Lu Zheng said in a low voice. Su Xinghai said with a slight silence, but he just shook his head gently.
Duan Tanglin glanced at Lu Zheng and said coldly: "Your Majesty is in seclusion and has reached a critical moment, so that no one can disturb you! Just now, Eunuch Feng came to pass the message, let us all wait..."
Lu Zheng frowned slightly, calm on the surface, but his heart was completely exploded: "My second-class... It's this time, Emperor Xinde is still addicted to cultivating immortals and attaining enlightenment! Even if he can live forever today, can the immortals still be invulnerable and can't even kill them?
The current situation is already in danger, and Long Lingxiu's personality will never delay. She will definitely attack quickly and approach the capital. By that time, where can Emperor Xinde escape?"
