Approaching the Lu Mansion, Liu Feng turned over and dismounted, walked to the door and handed it to the door servant, and said humbly with the two door servants: "The two eldest brothers are tired of reporting Lord Lu Zigan in the next place, so they said that there is an old man from Zhuo County who wants to see him." ”

These two servants are in their thirties, in fact, they also saw Liu Feng early, but they didn't come out to greet them. The person on the left glanced at Liu Feng, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, but he didn't ask much, he only glanced at the sticker, and said wait a while and went inside.

It was nearly noon, the sun was poisonous, and a few places knew the tireless cooing, which made people upset. Liu Feng and Xu Shan Hao Yong dismounted and waited on the side, thinking that with Lu Zhi's character, his servants should not be so snobbish, but they thought that the three of them waited for half an hour, but there was still no sound in Zhumen. And the servant who stayed outside the door only had a good question about Liu Feng without a word, and Liu Feng didn't bother to talk nonsense with him after a few words. After another moment, a copper bell struck in the Zhu Gate, and Liu Feng only said that someone was inside, but he didn't think that he was calling the person outside the door to eat, and he still hung his master and servant outside, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"His grandmother's! What kind of Confucianism in the sea raised these snobs, and that's it. Waiting anxiously, Xu Shan opened his shirt, revealing a black tuft of chest hair, picked up the wine gourd and poured a big sip, while muttering hatefully. In front of such a big day, a strong man like Xu Shan was already sweating like rain, and Hao Yong on the side counted the shadow of the sun, looked up at Liu Feng, and did not speak.

Liu Fengda smiled bitterly, this kid is still a thief in his bones, and he can't be on the stage. He is also very suspicious of the work efficiency of the people in the Lu Mansion, and it seems that he has come to the wrong place. Although people are under the eaves, they have to find a shelter for themselves, but they don't say that they are finding a sin for themselves. Just as he was about to tell the two of them to find a place to fill their stomachs, a carriage came from the corner of the street, stopped, and flashed aside.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the door of the Lu Mansion, and out of it came an old man in Confucian clothes, with white hair, but he was calm and moist, and he was more majestic and solemn, and saw Liu Feng's master and servant waiting outside the door of the Lu Mansion, sweating like rain, and looking at the appearance that he had been waiting for a long time, he couldn't help but look at it in confusion. Liu Fengyao bowed modestly, and he was also puzzled in his heart, but he didn't know who this person was.

The old man saw Liu Fengyao saluting from afar, bowed slightly, walked closer, and said: "This son is good-looking, but he has a lot of wind and frost on his body, I don't think he is from Beijing." Got here, but there is something to do with Lu Zi? ”

Liu Feng bowed and said: "The old gentleman's eyes are like torches, the boy Zhuojun Liu Feng, the word Chengze, because he was called to Beijing as the prince's housekeeper." I just came to Luoyang today and came to visit Lord Lu. ”

The old man's face turned pale when he heard this, and he looked at Liu Feng in surprise for a while, and then said slowly: "You are Liu Feng?" Xuande is your father? There was a bit of appreciation in his words.

Liu Feng hurriedly agreed, and the old man immediately nodded, stroked his beard and chuckled: "So, it was you who broke Zhongshan and beheaded Zhang Chun that day?" Sure enough, Yingyu is extraordinary, and there is a great wind of Xuande. The old man didn't believe it at all, but when I saw you today, it was not false to think that the rumors would come to me. Hehe, the old man is Lu Zhi, you come in with me. He walked over and wanted to hold Liu Feng's hand, but then as if he realized something, he took it back again, laughed and said: "I didn't expect Chengze to be so young, and Xuande would have taken the table word for you." Have you ever reported to the General's Palace? ”

After these few words, Liu Feng had a good impression of Lu Zhi, and the unhappiness of waiting outside earlier was swept away, and he replied respectfully: "My lord is my father's mentor, when Liu Feng left Zhongshan, my father repeatedly told me that I must go to the lord's mansion first, and I have not yet been to the general's mansion. ”

Lu Zhi smiled and shook his head, "You guys have been here for a long time?" ”

Liu Feng replied truthfully, Lu Zhi first had a chill on his face when he heard this, he hummed lightly, looked at Liu Feng again, his face softened, and said in a harmonious voice: "Let Cheng Ze wait outside for a long time, it's all the old man's fault, come in with me." Liu Feng hurriedly humbled aside.

The coachman on the side had already opened the door, and Lu Zhi led Liu Feng's master and servant three inside. Lu Mansion also has a few entrances and exits, but compared with the official mansions of the same period, it seems a little shabby, which makes Liu Feng feel ashamed of his disgust with Lu Zhi at the beginning.

At first, the two servants who guarded the door saw Lu Zhi and Liu Feng laughing and laughing kindly, and their faces were like earth, and their legs fell to their knees, and they didn't dare to spit out when they fell to the ground. Lu Zhili ignored the two of them, led Liu Feng to walk inside, while making people prepare to eat, while asking Liu Feng about some things in Zhongshan, Liu Feng answered one by one, and presented the gifts that Liu Bei chose for him. Lu Zhi didn't refuse, didn't ask what it was, and took it with a smile.

After a while, after eating, Lu Zhi said with great relief: "The old man has received countless apprentices in his life, and he is most famous for Xuande and Bo Jue (Gongsun Zhan), but they are both known for their military exploits, which is a regret for his life. Seeing Chengze today, it is still like when Xuande was young, which makes people feel comforted. Cheng Ze is young, although he is a new meritorious, he should still learn hard. Although the times are changeable, we must not be biased because of the abolition of the text. Both civil and military can be the hero of a lifetime. Speaking of the latter, it has turned into earnest teachings.

At this time, Liu Feng also knew that it turned out that he was hanging outside, but it was not caused by the snobbery of the people under the Lu Mansion, and he was only blamed for not being the one who should have been the eunuch and the people of the Cao family who led the way for him. Lu Zhi almost captured Zhang Jiao when he quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but because he refused to bribe the eunuch, he was dismissed from prison and almost let the faint monarch exterminate the clan. Just imagine, when they saw that Liu Feng was actually brought by someone from the Cao family, how could they have a good face? It's no wonder that Cao Ang just sent himself to the corner of the street, looked at the gate of Lufu from a distance and turned around and left, he was not even!

After talking for a while, Lu Zhi asked people to arrange a place for Liu Feng to live in Lu Mansion. After a short rest, he led Liu Feng towards the General's Mansion. Looking at the people coming and going on the street, Lu Zhitu let out a long sigh and said, "Chengze, do you know why His Majesty summoned you to Beijing?" ”

Liu Feng also felt a burst of melancholy in his heart, shook his head, and said, "I guessed a little bit in my heart, this should be the meaning of the general." ”

Lu Zhi nodded, holding his long beard, and said with a slight disappointment: "Today the prince is weak, and he has never liked the prince." The general is not a person who has achieved great things, and Cheng Ze, as a prince, is bound to be unpleasing to both ends, but it is not a wise move to come to Beijing. After a pause, he said: "Since Chengze is here, have you ever thought about how to deal with this situation?" After the previous conversation, Lu Zhi no longer ignored Liu Feng's thoughts as a lazy young man, and there was great concern in his words.

Liu Feng was grateful, thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Tian Yuanhao once taught me that the boy only needs to be upright and serve the master loyally, and don't worry about anything else." ”

Lu Zhi shook his head and said, "Although your family is a clan, it is too far away. If you are not a child of a high-ranking family, there is no one in the court to help, and the general summoned you, according to me, it is just a whim, and there is no reason to pay much attention to it. As for Your Majesty, Cheng Ze doesn't need to care. It's just that Cheng Ze is in Beijing, so it is inevitable that he will have some bumps and bumps with people, and there are many places in Beijing, and the palace is a place of seclusion. ”

Liu Feng was silent, he could naturally ignore the rights and wrongs of the court, but in this important place in Beijing, it is inevitable that there will be some troubles, and it is extremely difficult to swallow his anger. As for the emperor's family affairs, he can't manage it if he wants to.

Lu Zhi seemed to see Liu Feng's thoughts, and sighed slightly: "Cheng Ze doesn't need to care, I came to the General's Mansion with you today, although He Jin is arrogant, he doesn't dare not give me face." ”

The atmosphere was a little cold for a while, Liu Feng patted his forehead, changed the topic with a smile, and said, "My lord, look at His Royal Highness the Prince, how should you allow people?" Although Liu Feng has already made up his mind about Liu Bian, he wants to hear Lu Zhi's evaluation, who knows if the historical rumors are true?

Lu Zhi just shook his head and said, "For the courtiers, the king should be less discussed." ”

Liu Feng knew it in his heart and bowed his hand to Lu Zhi, who smiled bitterly.

After a short time, the carriage stopped, and the two of them got out of the carriage and, under the guidance of the doorman, walked towards the inner courtyard of the splendid mansion.
