The whole book, the fastest update of the latest chapter!
Long Lingxiu released cruel words, and gave a heavy reward, this year's Beijing Keju Competition has more meaning than previous years, and the nobles in the capital are very concerned about this event.
The nobles like to keju, the annual juju contest is a day of celebration for the nobles in the capital, this year's eldest princess Long Lingxiu has put on such a posture, the competition has not yet started, and the popularity has begun to soar.
After the eldest princess, the Qin Palace, the East Palace, and the Qi Palace's Mansion all expressed their positions, saying that in this year's Keju Competition, their respective teams should perform well, and they all want to compete for the championship!
Concubine Yi lives in Wanhua Palace, today is the day when King Qi enters the palace to ask for peace, compared to the King of Qin and the crown prince, King Qi's appearance is slightly richer, although he is the eldest son, in fact, he is only a few months older than King Qin. But no matter what, he is not young now, he is not confused, but he has not achieved much, in King Qi, he can't see the slightest anxiety and anxiety, and his temperament is still as free and open-minded as in the past.
"The retainers meet the mother concubine and say hello to the mother concubine!" King Qi knelt on the ground in a proper manner, kowtowed to Concubine Yi to say goodbye. Although Concubine Yi has passed the year of the Mandate of Heaven, she is very well maintained, and the whole person looks graceful and luxurious, and she is very generous.
"Get up, Rui'er. I heard that this Keju Contest, you have to go down in person, hey, I don't know what to say about you! Your dignified His Royal Highness the Prince of the Dakang Dynasty is so self-respecting, I'm afraid that those imperial historians will have a lot to say when they look back! If your father found out, he would be very upset! Yifei said.
King Qi said: "Mother, don't worry!" Keju was originally something that his father liked, and he would only be happy when he knew it, and he wouldn't do what he thought! This time, in the Keju competition, the teams from all sides have said ruthlessly, and the competition has not yet started, and the smell of gunpowder is very strong! I think the Keju tournament will be very exciting, who will participate in such a grand event? ”
King Qi paused, and then said, "Mother, I know that you are worried about your child. But in the heart of his father, the son is a military general, since he is a military general, how can he wait and watch such a thing as Keju? The second and third children only know how to wave the flag and shout, only I do it myself, there is no harm in all! Do you say? ”
Concubine Yi sighed and said, "It's good that you still know that there are second and third children, I thought you had forgotten your identity!" At this time, it is the time for you to do your career, the crown prince and the king of Qin are both young and promising, and they are working in full swing inside and outside the court, is it possible that you just watch coldly all day long and do nothing? ”
King Qi was slightly stunned, shook his head lightly and said, "Mother, it's not that the sons and daughters don't do it, but there is nothing to do!" Erchen has been in the army all these years, and he has no power in the capital, so how easy is it to make a difference in the capital? It's not something that can be ...... overnight."
"Rui'er, the mother concubine knows your difficulties, and the mother concubine has also thought of some solutions for you these days. The mother concubine thinks that in this Manchu Dynasty, there are some young forces that you can pay more attention to! There is one person in the mother's mind, who is particularly suitable for you to pay attention to, and this person ......"
King Qi smiled slightly, interrupted Concubine Yi's words, and said, "Is the mother concubine talking about Lord Lu Zhenglu?" ”
Concubine Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately clapped her hands and said, "Yes!" It seems that my son has already made up his mind. Yes, it is Lord Lu Zheng, needless to say, Lord Lu's talent is famous, he is a first-class talent in my Dakang Dynasty. And when it comes to governing the army, it is also very remarkable, and the battle to defend the city in the northwest is famous all over the world. This time, His Majesty asked him to take over the city defense battalion, and he skillfully controlled the situation in just a few months, such a talent, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the pillar of the country!
But such a first-class talent is hated by others, and Lingxiu, a girl, regards him as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh! Lingxiu has great influence among the King of Qin and the crown prince, and the prince and the king of Qin will definitely not recruit Lu Zheng. In this case, you just happened to make a move to bring this great talent under your command, and I believe that in time, it will definitely help your power in the court! ”
Concubine Yi talked eloquently, although she was a harem woman, but she knew the situation of the court well, she said this, it can be said that the analysis was very incisive, and King Qi listened very carefully.
After pondering for a long time, King Qi said: "Queen Mother, there is one thing you may not know, there was still some misunderstanding between me and this Lord Lu at the beginning...... King Qi immediately told Concubine Yi about his collision with Lu Zheng outside the city, and then sighed and said:
"Mother, although I am a prince, but I have no foundation in the court now, the ministers who have a little power in the court are polite to me on the surface, but they don't take me in their eyes at all, and even the ministers who are not enough in the city government show contempt for me on the surface. In this situation, Master Lu and I used to have a mustard, can he take refuge in me at this time? I was so worried! King Qi said.
His mood was obviously a little low, because his situation was really embarrassing right now, and he didn't have confidence. He paused, and then said: "There is also a little bit of mother, although Lord Lu Zheng is jealous of Lingxiu, but he is extremely favored by his father, he is now in charge of the city defense camp, this is his father's personal guard." If I befriend him at this time, will my father have other ideas? Erchen is also very worried in his heart! ”
Concubine Yi frowned slightly, after all, she was a woman, hearing King Qi say this, she didn't have much idea for a while, just sighed and said, "My son is really difficult!" The mother thought about it for a long time, and thought that she had thought of an ice-breaking strategy for you, but I didn't expect that you had already thought of this strategy, but you couldn't implement it for various reasons. ”
She pondered for a moment and said, "But from my point of view, this Lord Lu Zheng is by no means an ordinary person, even if you don't recruit him, you should make more friends with him!" The so-called acquaintance is easy to make friends in this world when it is not yet developed, and it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, which you must keep in mind! Now, by any means, you have such an opportunity. The second and third children are jealous, Lingxiu will inevitably be aggressive towards Lord Lu Zheng again, Lord Lu Zheng is young after all, he will inevitably have huge pressure in the short term, in this case, can't you use your brains more? ”
A conversation between Concubine Yi and King Qi touched King Qi's heart a lot, Lu Zheng was so famous in the capital, he had long paid attention to it, but he never dared to have other thoughts. But when the concubine said this today, he was repeatedly smashing and considering, and he felt more and more that the concubine was reasonable.
This world is indeed difficult to send charcoal in the snow, he Long Zhaorui has nothing now, he has the identity of the king of Qi, and he does not have any bargaining chips to recruit Lu Zheng, all he has is the identity of the king of Qi, and there is a friendship of sending charcoal in the snow, what is he hesitating about at this time? After this village, there will be no more such shop!
He came out of the palace, without saying a word, and immediately returned to the mansion and summoned all his confidants and staff to the council hall to discuss the matter, and all the staff members objected.
Speaking of reasons, it is nothing more than that King Qi privately befriended the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and he was the personal guard of the Son of Heaven, which may make the emperor jealous, so that stealing chickens will not lead to rice and cause trouble.
In addition, some people say that Lu Zheng is just a young official from the fourth grade, and he has ambition as a young man, and at this time, the king of Qi will definitely offend the prince and the king of Qin, and it is really not worth offending the two brothers for a Lu Zheng.
Some people also say that the King of Qi has a noble status and has military power in his hands, so why should he break the knot for a so-called genius who has not dried up in this case? That would only lower your status and make you laugh.
Besides, Lu Zheng is now hated by the eldest princess, it can be said that he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself, at this time, even if King Qi is friendly with Lu Zheng, what role can it play? Do you still expect Lu Zheng to fight the eldest princess and wait until he establishes power in the court in the future?
I have to say that these statements make sense, because Lu Zheng is only twenty years old, and the youngest prime minister in the history of this dynasty is also in his forties and nearly fifty years old before he can ascend to the throne, and Lu Zheng will be on the throne for at least more than 20 years. What happens more than twenty years later? At that time, His Royal Highness King Qi himself was already over sixty years old. Was the King of Qi still the King of Qi at that time?
For this reason alone, King Qi looking for Lu Zheng is no different from it, it is just a futile mess......
Long Zhaorui was originally full of enthusiasm and had great confidence in befriending Lu Zheng, but he was poured cold water by a group of strategists, and his heart was cold for a while, and at this time, the palace steward and eunuch sneered and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, you may be wrong! The minions hadn't read much, but they had seen a lot of things. Today's emperor carries on the past and forges ahead into the future, without any constraints.
Since the founding of the Great Kang Dynasty, no one has been able to occupy such a high position as Lord Lu at the age of twenty. The emperor trusts Lord Lu Zheng, who is not only talented and knowledgeable, but also a first-class person who governs the army and officials. How can such a power be seen with the eyes of a normal person? Maybe in three or five years, Lord Lu will be able to enter the cabinet to pay respects to the prime minister, what is impossible? ”
Leng Shan looked around, ignoring the surprise of the people around him, he said again: "At this time, the prince and Lord Lu Zheng are good friends, and Baiyi is harmless!" Now the Keju Contest has been decided, it just so happens that the palace also has a Keju team, the prince can lead the palace Keju team and the city defense camp Lord Lu's Keju team to warm up and exchange first, this is both a temptation, but also harmless, even if some of the imperial history who chew the root of the tongue want to say something, they can't talk about it, what do the gentlemen think of the slaves? ”
Leng Shan has not spoken, and even since he entered the palace, his personality has been extremely wooden, so that even Long Zhaorui ignored his existence, but he didn't expect that if he didn't speak, he would be a blockbuster, just by what he just said, it is enough to show that this eunuch is by no means ordinary.
Because after he finished speaking, the audience was silent, and none of the strategists could refute it.
