After regaining the throne of Kangju, the first priority was to appoint a new king.

After Kangju was jointly attacked by the Turks and Ningyuan, the people in the royal family died and fled, and no one was left.

At present, there is only one royal bloodline that can be found, Kang Yuniang.

But Kang Yuniang was originally just an unfavored princess, who didn't know anything about political affairs, and barely ascended the throne, and couldn't control the scene.

After much discussion, it was decided to make Kang Yuniang the regent princess, and send people to look for the descendants of the royal family.

And the first thing the regent princess did after she took the throne was to execute Womo, send troops to Ning Yuan, and avenge the destruction of the country.

Although the order was given by Kang Yuniang, the matter of attacking Ning Yuanguo was mainly decided by Lu Zijin and Kang Juguo.

With Kang Juguo's current strength alone, he can't confront Ning Yuanguo at all, but with Guo Liang's Gu Zang army, he has a fight.

But that's not enough -

"It's time for the king of Khotan to show his sincerity!" Lu Zijin said.

"Let the lower officials go to Khotan to ask for troops!" Cui Jiu got up and asked for help.

It was indeed most appropriate for him to go.

Lu Zijin raised his glass and saluted: "On the day of breaking through Ningyuan, I will salute Deputy Envoy Cui for three more cups!" ”

Cui Jiu smiled with a smile: "On the day of the attack on Ningyuan, I would like to ask the Lu envoy to cook tea!" ”

Lu Zijin nodded happily: "Naturally!" "Congratulations to those who have made meritorious service, what is the point of cooking tea?

Although Cui Jiu wants to fall in love when he has nothing to do, he is still very reliable when he has something.

At the beginning of February, Cui Jiu came news from Khotan that the king of Khotan had already sent troops and agreed to meet Ningyuan Wangcheng on the first day of March.

On February 20, the regent princess of Kangju led a large army to conquer Ningyuanguo.

On the first day of the first month of March, the Kangju army was under the city of King Ningyuan, killed the former King of Kangju Womo to sacrifice the king's flag, and the army of Khotan attacked from east to west, broke the city of Ningyuan Wang, and captured the king of Ningyuan.

"Does the envoy remember what he promised to the lower officials?" The palace lights of Ningyuan Palace's palace were colorful, illuminating his face with a blurry and bright luster.

Lu Zijin's eyes flashed, put down the wine cup that he had raised to salute, and said with a smile: "The celebration banquet is imminent, Deputy Envoy Cui does not drink the celebration wine, but wants to drink tea?" Isn't it a bit of a disappointment? ”

Cui Jiu frowned slightly, and his eyes were full of "You don't want to cheat, right?"

Lu Zijin pondered for a moment and sighed: "Don't hide it from Deputy Envoy Cui, after making a promise to cook tea that day, the official went back and wanted to pick out the better tea leaves for celebration, I don't want to come down this year, the tea brought out by the capital has almost run out, and only some residues are left, and I also ask Deputy Envoy Cui to give some time to find out if there is any good tea in the palace of Ningyuan." ”

The corners of Cui Jiu's lips were almost imperceptibly hooked, and he said: "Xia Guan heard that there is a high platform in the Ningyuan Palace, which can overlook the entire palace. ”

Lu Zijin stared at him for a while, then nodded with a smile.

She didn't know if Ning Yuanguo had such a celebration tradition, but after all, the matter of cooking tea was her fault, and Cui Jiu took the opportunity to make other requests.

Moreover, this is not too much to ask.

It's just that Cui Jiu is not the only one who has merit, Lu Zijin simply called Guo Liang, Deng Wei and others up, climbed the platform, set up a bonfire, and roasted tender sheep.

As soon as she grabbed the wooden fork, she was snatched away by Deng Wei shouting, "How can you let a woman do such rough work".

Then, Cui Jiu, who was sullen all the way, also silently stepped forward to help.

I was probably angry, and I didn't even look at her.

Lu Zijin felt a little funny.

This kind of trick of taking the opportunity to be alone is either used to deal with the little girl who is not familiar with the world, or you are willing to tacitly and want to coax her?

I really don't know what to say.

However, even if two people are not alone for a long time, short solitude can still be captured.

When Deng Wei and Guo Liang were drinking with their subordinate generals, Cui Jiu suddenly spoke: "Lu Envoy is dedicated to the public, is there really no selfishness?" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at her, and the roasted mutton in his hand did not stop.

Lu Zijin looked at the roasted mutton in his hand and said with a smile: "How can people be selfless? ”

He suddenly stopped: "What is your selfishness?" ”

"Success." She said.

How can people be unselfish?

She was enlightened since she was a child, loved to read poetry and books, and her grandmother deliberately cultivated her, and she became famous until she was 12 years old.

Reading enlightened wisdom, but also unwilling to be embarrassed, so she walked out of the house.

Read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles.

Until the second year of Xinghe, a letter from home brought her back to reality.

As a woman, as the eldest daughter of the Lu family, her destination is marriage and marriage.

Read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles, and the end is to get married.

That year, she happened to see Chi Changting in the crowd in the capital, and her heart was sad and jealous.

She felt like she should, too.

But no.

thought that she would stop there, but fortunately, she married Zheng Yu.

Zheng Yu is the best person in the world, she has always thought so.

He did not enter the office because of his congenital deficiencies, and in addition to the medicine jar that accompanied him since he was a child, he was a collection of books at home.

In her life, she has met many talented people.

In her eyes, Chi Changting is too arrogant, Xiao Zhuo is not confident enough, and no one can be as gentle as Zheng Yu.

He is a good teacher, a good friend, and a noble person in her life.

He wrote books, interpreted the scriptures, taught Suiyang, and then was called to the imperial front to give lectures to the prince.

He understood her unwillingness, and pushed her to the world step by step to fulfill her ambitions.

Until his death, he also persuaded her to leave the Zheng family-

Zijin, the first time I saw you, your eyes were a kind of unwillingness to be trapped, I understand this unwillingness, so I don't want to trap you;

When I was still alive, the Zheng family was still helpful to you, and once I was gone, the identity of the Zheng woman would be limited to you;

Let's go, go back to the Lu family, one day, you will become famous as a woman, don't forget to tell me, let me be happy and proud......

……

"Entering the office, being an official, becoming famous, and shining in the annals of history-" She glanced at Cui Jiu with a smile, "My selfishness is the same as yours!" ”

Cui Jiu was stunned for a long time, and said in a low voice: "I'm not ......"

Lu Zijin let out an "oh" and continued to look down at the mutton in his hand.

"From the moment I started studying, I knew what path I wanted to take in the future...... Who to marry...... I used to feel hopeless, so I walked like this, but that day, when you invited yourself to make an envoy to Kangju, I realized why I couldn't keep up with you——"

He stared at her, his voice soft and soft.

"I thought at that time, I have been delayed for so many years in vain, and if I miss this opportunity, I will definitely hate it for life!" suddenly smiled, and his tone was a little ridiculous, "Usually when I teach Thirteen Lang, he always says that if he doesn't get into trouble, he will be big, and if he is big, there will be no reason to be ignorant, and I also feel now that if I don't work hard, I will be old!" ”

Lu Zijin looked at the young man in his prime in front of him, smiled, and said, "I don't know if you are old or not, but if you roast this mutton, you will be really old!" ”
