Family and everything is prosperous This is Cui Da's statement, and for scholars, self-cultivation comes first, Qi family is second, even if Lu Zheng has more ambitions, he can't ignore the factor of family.

He was sent to the Zhang family by the Lu family, and he was a member of the Zhang family, whether he wanted it or not, this fact could not be changed, and it was not transferred by his will.

This is actually Lu Zheng's biggest weakness, in the past year, he needs to spend a lot of energy to deal with some people in the Zhang family, even today, his situation is still not good, he may completely tear his face with the Zhang family at any time, once that happens, it will be a catastrophe for him.

This is also the reason why Cui Da went to Lu Zheng, Cui Da needed Lu Zheng's help, and Lu Zheng also needed an opportunity to open up and communicate with Zhang Chengxi.

There is no more suitable opportunity than today, because today Lu Zheng won the first case, and the momentum is at the peak, while Zhang Chengxi suffered a blow to the head, and the momentum was taken away, and he was at the lowest point.

The key is that Lu Zheng now has enough cards in his hand, and he can easily take the initiative and gain the upper hand in the conversation.

Lu Zheng smiled and told Zhang Chengxi everything as it was, including the difficulties encountered by Nie Xianzun and the difficulties encountered, and then Lu Zheng suggested that Nie Yong recommend Zhang Chengxi's intentions and purposes.

Including after Zhang Chengxi took the throne, Lu Zheng drew up the "Thirteen Strategies" for Nie Yong, and the planning of the children's test in Xinhe County was all completed by Lu Zheng.

Zhang Chengxi's eyes straightened when he heard this, he couldn't believe that it was true, but according to what Lu Zheng said, he couldn't help but believe it.

To put it mildly, he was able to be this official because Lu Zheng recommended him to Nie Yong, so he had a chance, otherwise he wouldn't even have a chance to step into the official career!

As for the fact that he thinks he is in control of the entire Tong Zi Test, it is a big joke, the whole Tong Zi Test is all planned by Lu Zheng behind the scenes, and he Zhang Chengxi is just a puppet who contributes money and efforts.

In fact, since Zhang Chengxi became the county magistrate of Xinhe County, there is no suspense about the head of the child test this time, everything is really as Lu Zheng said, even if Lu Zheng hands over a piece of shit, Nie Yong will point him to be the head of the case.

Poor Zhang Chengxi has been kept in the dark, thinking that Wu Fu is against him, he also wants to lift the lid and sue Wu Fu for suspected fraud in the examination room, if he really does that, Wu Fu will naturally be as safe as Mount Tai, and he Zhang Chengxi's official is only afraid that he will come to an end.

Zhang Chengxi listened to Lu Zheng's eloquent words, he felt as if he was listening to a book from heaven, and he suddenly roared: "This is impossible!" ”

However, soon, he lowered his head, as long as he was not a pig, he could understand that none of the things Lu Zheng said could be made up.

Since things can't be made up, it can only mean that everything Lu Zheng said is true, it is absolutely true, the biggest strategist by Nie Yong's side is not Master Liang, but Lu Zheng!

Zhang Chengxi suddenly understood this reality, he was completely stunned, he suddenly found that he was actually a clown, he had been used by others, but he always thought he was in control of the situation!

He suddenly felt extremely lost in his heart, and his heart was pessimistic to the extreme, at this moment he also understood Wu Fu's words, Wu Fu said that he couldn't understand why Zhang Chengxi had to squeeze into the officialdom, yes, just with his Zhang Chengxi's IQ and brain, Lu Zheng could tease him in the palm of his hand, and he still dared to mix with officialdom?

Others are officials to make money, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, he Zhang Chengxi is an official who needs to throw silver into it himself, it's only been a few months, Zhang Chengxi has already smashed almost 100,000 taels of silver into it.

Now see what he gets? He didn't get anything, he was bent on pushing his prospective son-in-law to the position of the head of the county trial, he thought it was a certainty, and in the end he found out that it was simply impossible. Because of that position, when he didn't become this official, he basically belonged to Lu Zheng, and he couldn't shake it if he smashed 100,000 taels of silver.

He had an impulse, that is, to take off this official robe, and then withdraw today's cherry blossom banquet, didn't Nie Yong use him, he also fought back, embarrassing this guy. Let him know that the Zhang family is not so easy to bully, but with such a determination, he really can't make it.

He is an official with a grade, but there is a record in the Ministry of Officials, how many people are waiting for this shortage, he Zhang Chengxi stayed up until his early forties to wait for this opportunity, can he say give up? He didn't even sit hot in this position? Can you just go?

At this moment, Zhang Chengxi's heart was entangled to the extreme, he finally sat down on the chair in a dejected manner, and no longer shouted for Lu Zheng to take the initiative to explain the problem, let alone the momentum of being aggressive before, and he must find trouble with Wu Fu. His pool of water is far from Wu Fu!

Lu Zheng looked at Zhang Chengxi's appearance, and seeing that the fire was almost over, he paused and said:

"Second uncle, you don't need to be too pessimistic, officialdom is like this, you are new to the city, you have just taken office, so you will naturally suffer some grievances. The so-called hardships in hardship, you have done a great job in the children's examination this time, once the hospital examination has passed, Xinhe County's results can make a breakthrough, then whose credit is all this?

Nie Xianzun naturally has political achievements, but can your merits, second uncle, be erased? Although I am planning these things for Nie Xianzun, I can't get on the stage after all, I'm just planning in secret, second uncle, the current situation is very favorable to you! ”

When Lu Zheng said this, he looked at Zhang Chengxi's expression carefully and found that Zhang Chengxi's face was slightly better-looking.

Zhang Chengxi thought about Lu Zheng's words in his heart, and after thinking about it carefully, this is really the truth, no matter what, nominally he is responsible for the boy's test, and the boy has a good score in the test, can Zhang Chengxi's credit be less?

Although it was not easy to be teased as a puppet, and when Lu Zheng revealed what was behind these things, Zhang Chengxi's self-esteem was very hurt, but what is the use of self-esteem? In the officialdom, isn't everyone sharpening their heads just fighting for political achievements? Isn't it just a struggle to climb up?

The reason why Zhang Chengxi is uncomfortable today is completely because of his personal emotional problems, he hates Lu Zheng, he has to beat Lu Zheng down but he doesn't succeed, which makes him feel bad, if you leave this point aside, isn't everything else good?

Zhang Tang and Zhang Zhen of the Zhang family have passed the county examination, and Tian Zepeng won the fifth place in the county examination, which is not bad. Many of the students who are close to Guanshan Academy and the Zhang family are on the list, and Zhang Chengxi is still quite credited!

Lu Zheng comforted, Zhang Chengxi's mood eased, Lu Zheng slowly came to his side, and said in a low voice:

"Second uncle, there is another important news, if nothing else, after this boy's test, Nie Xianzun will definitely leave!

Nie Xianzun came down after offending Dai Xiang in the capital, there are many political enemies of Dai Xiang in Jiangnan, this time Nie County recommended you, you can meet Governor Zhan Tianqi in Yingtian, do you think this is an accident?

It's not so much that Governor Zhan is giving you face, but that he is giving Nie County Zun's face, Nie County Zun has such an identity, Ying Tian and Jiangning are first-class important towns, he can't say anything if he stays in Yangzhou, second uncle, don't you say? ”

When Lu Zheng said this, his voice was lowered, and he said word by word: "As soon as Nie County Zun leaves, Xinhe County can't be left without an owner, second uncle, at this time, you can earn political achievements that are more valuable than gold?" ”

"Ah......" Zhang Chengxi exclaimed, the hair all over his body exploded, he suddenly sat up straight, and said, "Brother Zheng, you ...... Are you serious? ”

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Can that still be fake?" Second uncle, I have a letter here, can't you just take a look at it? ”

Lu Zheng took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Chengxi as he spoke, Zhang Chengxi looked at the content of the letter, this is Nie Yong's own handwriting, in the letter, Nie Yong described the things he might want to go to Yingtianfu clearly, and finally asked Mr. to teach him very clearly, isn't this just asking Lu Zheng to give him advice?

Nie Yong's handwriting Zhang Chengxi sees it every day, can he make out it? The content of the letter is also reasonable, and it is absolutely impossible to make it up, which means that the news that Lu Zheng gave him is true!

In an instant, Zhang Chengxi's whole person was alive, he grabbed Lu Zheng's hand and said, "Brother Zheng, you must help me!" The second uncle was blinded by lard before, and he didn't know that Brother Zheng had long been a celebrity around Master Nie, and he was trying to ...... Trying to ......"

"Hey, don't mention it, all the mistakes are my second uncle's fault. Anyway, Brother Zheng, you are now a member of my Zhang family, let's break the bones and connect the tendons, one is prosperous, and the other is lost......"

Zhang Chengxi is not an easy person after all, although his officialdom wisdom makes people anxious, but after all, he was born in a big family, and his cheeky ability is innate, half an hour ago, he still wanted Lu Zheng to die, but now he is closer to Lu Zheng than his nephew.

Lu Zheng is also in a good mood, and he can solve Zhang Chengxi, he can have a lot less troubles, but he doesn't say enough, only said: "Second uncle, I can't guarantee that you can make up for this lack after Master Nie leaves, but there is one thing I can guarantee, that is, this lack of Wu Fu can't be made up anyway, second uncle, how much cultivation you have, it's up to you!" ”

Zhang Chengxi shuddered, Lu Zheng's words made him feel comfortable for a while, if Lu Zheng really took care of everything, he would have no bottom in his heart, but Lu Zheng said that he could get Wu Fu, which made him feel that he had solved a big problem.

Zhang Chengxi's biggest political enemy now is Wu Fu, Lu Zheng can get Wu Fu done, won't his chances of taking the throne increase?

As soon as he thought of this, his eyes looked at Lu Zheng even more warmly, and he said, "Let's go, Brother Zheng, let's take a look at the cherry blossom banquet again, your seat is next to Lord Nie, how about it?" Satisfied......"

"Oops, there's one more big thing I forgot! You are the head of the case, our Zhang family has already released the words, the first reward of the county trial case is a thousand taels of silver, you haven't received this reward yet, where can this fall? Wait a minute, I'll go and get the reward in person, today I want to let our students in Xinhe County know that the Zhang family's words count! ”
