The servant said: "In the past two months, Yujing City has been relatively calm, and everyone is concerned about the big war that has begun. In addition, Princess Chu has returned to the Chu Mansion a month ago, and now the Chu Mansion is in charge of her. And the Eighth Young Master of the Chu Palace's Mansion also rushed to Yiling Pass a month ago. ”

Chu Zheng nodded, now everyone is concerned about the battle in the southeast region of the Xiyue tribe, as well as the confrontation at Yiling Pass, and the most important thing is that the four major gate lords and the heads of the thirty-six families have already rushed to the front line, without these people making trouble, Yujing City is much quieter.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "You go and send a letter of worship to Lord Yin Liang of Yujing Mansion, and say that I will visit his mansion at the end of noon tomorrow." ”

Chu Zheng's return to Yujing City this time was mainly for Liang Cheng. Although he was sure that Zhou Yuanchu would definitely agree to send Liang Cheng to Lanbian County, according to the positioning of Lanbian County, it only nominally belonged to the area under the jurisdiction of the Great Zhou, and in fact had no substantive relationship with the Great Zhou. In this case, Zhou Yuanchu agreed that Liang Cheng would go to Lanbian County, and Liang Cheng must be relieved of his official position and made him a free man.

Although Liang Cheng was dismissed from his official position, he would definitely go to Lanbian County at the request of Zhou Yuanchu, but this was Zhou Yuanchu's hard order after all, and as the best candidate for Lanbian County in Chu Zheng's intention, he must give Liang Cheng enough respect, and this visit to Liang Cheng is to show his sincerity.

He is no longer the third young master of Trumen in front of him now, he is the leader of a faction. As the third young master of Chumen, this kind of gentleman can go directly to Liang Cheng regardless of it, but as the leader of one party's forces, he must abide by this principle of respecting people.

The servant bowed and retired.

At noon on the second day, Chu Zheng came to Yujing Mansion as promised, and the courtyard where Liang Cheng lived was at the back of Yujing Mansion.

Outside the Yujing Mansion, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old scholar was standing at the door, and when he saw Chu Zheng, he immediately took a few steps forward and bowed down and said, "But Chu Dutong?" Seeing that Chu Zheng did not deny it, he immediately stretched out his hand to ask, "My master is already waiting in the inner hall, and Chu Dutong and I will come." ”

The two walked all the way through Yujing Mansion to the backyard, and when they passed through the courtyard, they saw Liang Chengduan sitting there.

"Chu Dutong is unharmed. ”

Liang Cheng stood up after seeing Chu Zheng and arched his hand with a bitter expression.

Chu Zheng smiled and said, "Looking at Lord Liang's expression, is it because he is still staying well in this smoky Yujing City?"

"It's all a joke. ”

Liang Cheng stretched out his hand to signal the two sides to sit down, and waited until the scholar served tea before he said: "Since the Great Zhou and Xiyue tribes have been launched, those fish or dragons have run out, and Yujing City is no longer a mixture of fish and dragons, and these days are quite comfortable." But...... Liang thought that he was unable to rectify the rule of officials in Yujing Mansion. ”

Chu Zheng said: "I know not a hundred but eighty officials in Yujing Mansion and many places in the Great Zhou. Among these people, I admire Lord Liang the most, and I also understand Lord Liang's hardships, so I have the idea of wanting Lord Liang to help me. ”

"Chu thinks that the Lanbian County under my jurisdiction is a blank, but it is a blank space that will give people the opportunity to display their ambitions. I believe ......"

Liang Cheng shook his head, "What does Chu Dutong think of the art of power schemes?"

"Human nature is complex, and the art of scheming is a complex and complex human nature that is kneaded together and guides everyone towards a common goal. Even if everyone's goals are different, under the influence of the art of scheming, everyone is part of the overall goal. ”

Chu Dutong's statement is very novel and unique, but I have to admit that Chu Dutong's statement made Liang suddenly open. Liang Cheng groaned slightly, "What does Chu Dutong think of the rule of officials?"

Chu Zheng knew that this was Liang Cheng taking the school examination himself, and immediately sat down and said with a serious expression: "Since ancient times, when the rule of officials has not been completely clear, there is also a saying that when the water is clear, there are no fish. But I think that rules cannot cover every aspect of everything, so there is a saying that the law is nothing more than human feelings, but because of the complexity of human nature, it is difficult to define this human feelings, so it is difficult to form a unified standard for the clarity of the rule of officials. My current thinking is that I only focus on a few very important things, that is, I focus on some of my principles, and I focus on competence and ability outside of the principles. That is, on the basis of not violating my principles, I only look at the result, and the process is not important. ”

Liang Cheng was silent for a long time, looked at Chu Zheng with blazing eyes and asked, "What can you give me?"

That's all that matters. Don't talk about faith, that thing is a pie, I can talk about faith after I get the benefits, I can work for our common faith, but faith is not the foundation.

"Power, you are in charge of everything except military and commercial. You can come to me for big things and things that are difficult for you to decide, and things that need my help, and everything else is entirely up to you. You have maximum autonomy, and I just want the result. What I want is for the vast majority of the inhabitants of the area under my control, while the population multiplies rapidly. ”

"Benefits, Lord Liang will personally get a salary of one hundred gold coins every month, as well as resources worth one hundred spirit stones. One exercise, three combat techniques and spells are all the best of the best, not only Lord Liang can practice, but also people from Lord Liang's family can also cultivate, and there is no requirement for talent. At the same time, I will also give Lord Liang a Xuanpin Divine Soul Exercise. ”

"The power and benefits proposed by Chu Dutong are really impossible to refuse. Liang Cheng shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, "Yesterday, Your Majesty has already passed down the holy decree to let me return to my hometown." When I heard this, I felt a sense of loss and even more relief. In Yujing City, when Yin was in the capital, Liang was already physically and mentally exhausted. Later, the father-in-law who passed the decree said Du Tong's request, and Liang felt that he was not useless. However, Liang still has to ask Dutong, can I reach Lanbian County safely?"

Chu Zheng was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect that Liang Cheng, who had always only known how to do things, could think so deeply, but then smiled meaningfully.

Liang Cheng nodded with a smile, "After noon the day after tomorrow, Liang will go to the West Gate with a hundred Xiucai to meet outside." ”

Chu Zheng stood up and arched his hand towards Liang Chengyi and said, "I'll see you outside the West Gate in the afternoon the day after tomorrow." ”

Walking out of Yujing Mansion, Chu Zheng returned to the Crescent Lake Courtyard, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Courtyard, the Guardian immediately stepped forward to report: "The head of the family, a middle-aged man with two entourages has just entered the Courtyard. We couldn't stop the three of them, and now the three of them were already waiting in the living room. ”

"But did you do it, did anyone get hurt?" asked Chu Zheng as he walked.

The nurse shook his head, "No one was injured, but the coercion released by the other party must have exceeded the foundation building period." ”

Saying that, the two walked into the living room, and the moment they entered the living room, Chu Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

In the living room sat a middle-aged man with a dignified face, who was leisurely sipping tea at the moment. After the middle age, there were two monks in the war, and the coercion of one of them made Chu Zheng feel great pressure.

This person's cultivation is at least in the infancy stage. And this Yuan Infant Monk and another middle-aged man who practiced Qi Chenggang were standing respectfully behind the middle-aged man at this moment, which showed that the identity of the middle-aged man was absolutely extraordinary.

The presence of the three seniors made Chu feel a sense of brilliance. Chu Zheng arched his hand and sat on the main seat with a natural expression, and said apologetically, "Chu Mou went out just now, which made the three seniors wait for a long time. ”

As soon as he returned to Yujing City, Chu Zheng didn't expect someone to visit him immediately, it seems that his return to Yujing City is not a secret at all in the eyes of those who have a heart.

The middle-aged man who was sitting upright put down the teacup and looked at Chu Zheng with blazing eyes, his gaze seemed to have the ability to penetrate people's hearts, which could make people's hearts tighten, and the middle-aged man looked at Chu Zheng and didn't speak, which caused more pressure. But all this is true for ordinary people, but it has no impact on Chu Zheng. After all, Chu Zheng had now forged the Divine Court, and the tenacity of his divine soul far exceeded that of the Jindan Monk.

Silently sipping the tea, Chu Zheng was also silent. Since this middle-aged man plays this method, then Chu Zheng only needs to calm down, see who can't hold his breath and speak first, speaking first is equivalent to giving up the initiative.

Chu Zheng has used this kind of party for Chu Tianqing, so that Chu Tianqing has never been cheap here, but it has not achieved any effect on middle-aged people.

The middle-aged man who was standing behind the middle-aged man snorted coldly, "Chu Dutong, you don't know who gave you the position of Dutong, right?"

Since the two are deadlocked, this person knows how to break the deadlock, but his tone is a little cynical.

Chu Zheng's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, then took a sip of tea and put the teacup on the table, then raised his head and looked at the Qi Refining Chenggang monk and said lightly: "This is my Crescent Moon Lake Courtyard, this senior sneered at me in my Courtyard, it's not a way to be a guest." ”

This is my place, not only do you come uninvited, but the old god is waiting in my living room, waiting for me, the master, to come in, do you want to turn against the guest? And you sneered at me in my territory, are you slapping me in the face?

"You ......"

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and was full of anger, and he was about to open his mouth to scold, but the middle-aged man who was sitting upright slowly put down the teacup and walked out, walked to the door of the living room and said lightly: "Chu Zheng is really Chu Zheng." Then he walked away.

Chu Zheng walked out of the living room and watched the three of them leave the Crescent Lake Courtyard, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Who are they, master?" asked the nurse with some trepidation.

"Zhou Yuanchu. ”

"Zhou Yuanchu?"

"Emperor of the Great Zhou. ”

"Emperor of the Great Zhou!" the Guardian's heart jumped, and his face was shocked.

Chu Zheng stayed at the door of the living room for a moment, and returned to the backyard with a calm face to sit cross-legged.

Zhou Yuanchu suddenly visited and left suddenly, and Chu Zheng already understood his intentions.

Zhou Yuan first came to show goodwill, wanted to recruit himself to his command, and wanted to let himself serve Da Zhou. Maybe in their opinion, as the emperor of the Great Zhou, it is already very face-saving to be able to come to the Crescent Lake Courtyard, and they should be extremely honored. But Chu Zheng didn't want to be restrained. It's okay to cooperate, it's impossible to be someone else's subordinate. Even if he was the Great Zhou Emperor Zhou Yuanchu.
