Chapter 609: Cooperation
"Brother Lin, you are not rich in the first place, so why do you have to spend so much? I'll invite you for this meal. While turning his head to talk to Lin Lie beside him, Kong Chengguang had already pushed open the half-closed wooden door of the private room of the restaurant, but then he was stunned at the door again, because there were still two people sitting at the table in this room.
This is not Juren Building, but another restaurant in the city. After Lin Lie's several invitations, Kong Wugongzi agreed to let him go to the meeting. But the scene in front of him obviously surprised him slightly: "Brother Lin, are we looking for the wrong house?" ”
Before Lin Lie could speak, Lu Zhen inside had already spoken: "Gongzi Kong, you are not mistaken, please come in first to speak." ”
After glancing at Lin Lie beside him, Kong Chengguang seemed to understand something, sighed, and walked into the house: "It seems that it is you who really want to see you." I don't know what it is? You shouldn't be a native of Qufu, right? ”
"Kong Gongzi has good eyesight, and he did come from elsewhere in the next few places, and now he is temporarily staying in the county office." Lu Zhen said, and had filled a glass of water and wine for several people.
After hearing this, Kong Chengguang, who had a normal face, suddenly shook his body, and showed a shocked expression on his face: "You were sent by the governor?" Do you want to question me? I don't have any real power in the Kong family, I don't know anything......"
"Master Kong, don't say dark words in front of the Mingren. You can see at once where we came from, how can you say that you don't know anything about it? Lu Zhen smiled: "Sometimes pretending to be stupid is shrewd, but sometimes pretending to be stupid makes people feel really stupid." ”
One sentence made Kong Chengguang's whole person froze. After a while, the face of this young man who looked a little submissive before, changed, and his eyes became sharp: "Your Excellency is really like a torch, I don't know who you are next to the governor?" ”
"This official Lu Jin, who do you say I am?" As he said before, when he became a Ming person, he didn't say secret words, and directly revealed his identity.
And this time, Kong Chengguang didn't show a surprised expression as before, but just looked at Lu Zhen carefully before saying: "Lord Lu really lives up to his reputation, and there is no vanity under his fame." No wonder he has been so famous all these years, and he can become the governor of a province in Shandong at such an age. ”
Hearing this, Lu Zhen didn't see the slightest smug expression, and only replied after he finished speaking: "It's just luck." And I believe that if you were in this position, Gongzi Kong, you would not do worse than this official. ”
"Your Excellency praised it. It's just a concubine who is despised by the clansmen, no, it's a lowly maid, an insignificant person, and he really doesn't dare to compare with adults. Kong Chengguang said modestly. However, when he expressed his identity contemptuously, Lu Zhen still saw a trace of suppressed resentment and anger in his eyes.
"That's because they have no eyes and can't see Kong Gongzi's ambition and ability. But the official can see at a glance that you are not a thing in the pool, and as long as you find an opportunity, you will definitely be able to make a big difference. As he spoke, he waved his hand when the other party was about to be modest again: "Others may not be known by the official enough, but Kong Gongzi can have such forbearance, which is enough to make people admire." ”
As soon as he said this, Kong Chengguang was moved again: "My lord really knows my ......"
"Being born as a disciple of Confucius is the luck of Confucius Gongzi, and it is also your misfortune." Lu Zhen shook his head lightly, and said as if with emotion: "Fortunately, you don't have to worry about food and clothing in this life, even if you are despised by the clansmen, you can be rich and worry-free for a lifetime." But this unfortunate thing is that you, as a concubine of the Kong family, even if you have the ambition to fight again, it is difficult to make a difference now. And it's clear that in terms of talent and vision, you are far ahead of everyone in the clan, but you can't do anything, and the pain is worse than being poorly clothed and hungry, right? ”
In just a few words, Kong Chengguang's thoughts were completely revealed, which made him silent for a long time, and he couldn't recover from the shock.
He really didn't expect that a person who had just met for the first time could see through his mind thoroughly, as if he had been watching from his side for decades. This feeling of being seen through everything, as if he had been stripped naked, really made him a little afraid of Lu Jin.
And after seeing his slightly panicked appearance, Lu Zhen knew that his guess was really good.
In fact, after Lin Lie told him about his relationship with Kong Chengguang, he had some suspicions about the fifth son of the Kong family, and felt that he deliberately said these words to Lin Lie, because he had doubts about Lin Lie's identity.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why he, a disciple of Confucius, would surrender his identity to make friends with a guy in a restaurant. Even if he is no longer recognized at home, as a son of the Confucian family, he can find many people who follow and praise him in Qufu and Yanzhou.
Moreover, what he said to Lin Lie was all extremely important news, and it could even be regarded as a confidential matter within the Kong family. With him, a concubine who is not well regarded and cannot enter the decision-making level at all, it is impossible for him to know these things easily. The only explanation is that he has been secretly eavesdropping on the words and deeds of important people in his family.
In this way, Lu Zhen can conclude that he is very unwilling to the current situation and has a plan. And the fact that he has been able to endure for so many years without being found out is enough to show his high camouflage skills. That's why there is such a seemingly flattering evaluation, which almost makes Kong Chengguang transparent.
After hesitating for a long time, Kong Chengguang smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "The adult is really clear, and the villain really admires it." Being seen through his mind made his attitude more respectful, and even his self-proclaimed attitude changed.
"Master Kong doesn't need to be nervous, this official is naturally not trying to disadvantage you when he sees you today. On the contrary, the official wants to cooperate with you. Only then did Lu Zhen bring the conversation to the point.
Kong Chengguang smiled bitterly again: "My lord's words are really serious. The villain is just a powerless, powerless and nameless son of the Kong family, what can he come up with to cooperate with you? ”
"Kong Gongzi's words are a bit presumptuous, not to mention your talent and intelligence, just because of your identity as a child of the Kong family, some things are much more convenient than us. At least those people in the Kong family won't have any precautions against you. Lu Zhen said, raised his glass for a while, and took a sip to moisten his throat.
After his complexion changed for a while, Kong Chengguang said: "The adults laughed, and you also said that the villain is a child of the Kong family." If you are intent on harming my own family, how can I betray my own family to help you? Such unfilial deeds, let alone my Confucian family, even the children of ordinary families are afraid that they can't do it. ”
"Of course you can't be an ordinary person, but Kong Gongzi, you are not an ordinary person. Your ambitions are far greater than those of other clansmen, but because of your background, it has been difficult to stretch. Are you willing to sink like this forever? ”
As he spoke, Lu Zhen leaned forward slightly and stared at the other party closer: "Before you revealed some important information about the Kong family to Brother Lin, you have already exposed your thoughts. You know very well that if you want to change your situation, you can't do it by yourself, you need external forces to subvert everything that exists in the Confucian family, and this official has the ability to make you get what you want! ”
At this moment, Lu Jin's appearance looked like a poisonous snake in the Garden of Eden that lured Eve to eat the fruit, like a demon who lured people to the path of crime, and his words and countenance were full of temptation.
Kong Chengguang's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, but his eyes were lowered, and he didn't dare to collide with Lu Jin. He really didn't expect that this person would see his mind so thoroughly, which also made him a little excited.
For twenty-four years, he has been waiting for an opportunity, a chance to turn over. For this reason, he can pretend to be stupid, and he can endure everyone's contempt and contempt for him, just because he believes that there will be a day when all those people who despise him will prostrate themselves under his feet.
It's just that as time goes by, the more he understands the Kong family, the weaker his idea becomes. Because he found that even the government could not help the Kong family, because the aura of the saint above his head was too strong, and the officials did not dare to offend at all.
Just when he was about to give up all this and plan to live his life in such a mess, Lu Zhen appeared. And he told himself so bluntly that he was trying to subvert the entire Kong family!
The impact of these words on him was naturally extremely huge, but years of forbearance also made him cautious, even if the other party was the governor of a province, some words had to be asked clearly: "Lord Lu, do you really have the confidence to succeed?" What are you going me to do? ”
"Since this official dares to appear in Qufu, he naturally has a certain amount of success. And if you are in the Confucian family, the success will inevitably be greater. ”
Although he said that, Kong Chengguang obviously still had concerns, and just sat there silently, waiting for something. Lu Zhen quickly understood what he meant, and whispered the countermeasures he had already thought of: "Gongzi Kong, do you think that if you act like this, can you make the Kong family fall into a rare passivity?" ”
Hearing him say this, Kong Chengguang was also slightly taken aback, but then said a little tentatively: "Aren't you afraid that my lord will tell my family all this when I go back, thus ruining your overall plan?" ”
Lu Zhen laughed: "You won't." The benefits of doing so are limited, and may even make people more suspicious of you. You're a smart person, and you wouldn't do anything so damaging to others and yourself. And you also understand that this is a great opportunity to change everything, and if you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life. ”
The muscles on Kong Chengguang's face beat for a while, and finally reached out, picked up the wine glass on the table, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp. And after seeing his move, Lu Jin's face finally showed a smile: "In this matter, there is indeed a point where you need Gongzi to help......
