Early this morning, Lu Zheng received a secret decree from His Royal Highness the Prince, saying that the emperor had announced his entry into the palace.

Today is not a great dynasty, so Lu Zheng did not go to the early dynasty.

After receiving the secret decree of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he set off into the palace.

The emperor summoned him at this time, most likely for the spy he caught a few days ago.

However, after he caught someone, he sent it directly to His Royal Highness the Prince, and then did not participate in it again......

Lu Zheng put down his thoughts, didn't think about it anymore, and walked quickly towards the palace.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Zheng was in front of Yingtianmen and saw the chief chamberlain of the emperor, Chang Gonggong.

Chang Gonggong walked a few steps quickly, stopped in front of Lu Zheng, smiled and bowed.

"The slave has seen Lu Shizi."

Lu Zheng bowed his head and said politely: "It's good to have Lao Chang's father-in-law." ”

Chang Gonggong said with a smile: "The slave hasn't waited long, Lu Shizi, please come here, the emperor is waiting for you in the imperial study." ”

After thinking about it, Father-in-law Chang glanced at Lu Zheng again, and said softly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also here." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law." Lu Zheng bowed his head and accepted the affection of Chang Gonggong.

Grandpa Chang smiled and nodded slightly, didn't say anything more, and concentrated on leading the way.

After walking for a while, the imperial study arrived, and Grandpa Chang turned around and invited Lu Zheng in.

Lu Zhengxin walked up the steps, then entered the imperial study, stopped at the door, and waited for the emperor to summon him.

Gonggong Chang walked in quickly, stopped in front of the imperial case, bowed down and asked, "Your Majesty, Lu Shizi has arrived." ”

Emperor Hui, who was behind the imperial case, raised his head, glanced at Chang Gonggong, and said, "Call him in." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chang Gonggong left in response.

After a while, Lu Zheng came in, walked to the imperial case, and bowed, "Minister Lu Zheng, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

"Lu Aiqing is polite, please get up quickly, Chang Ting, give a seat."

"Thank you for your grace." Lu Zheng bowed in thanks.

Then, he turned to the prince, clasped his fists and saluted: "The minister has seen His Royal Highness the prince." ”

The prince smiled and waved his hand, signaling that Lu Zheng did not need to be polite.

Chang Ting brought a small stool and asked Lu Zheng to sit down.

After Lu Zheng sat down, he heard Emperor Hui ask with a smile: "I heard the prince say, that spy was caught by accident a few days ago?" ”

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then replied: "If you go back to the emperor, it is indeed caught by the minister by chance." ”

Emperor Hui nodded, hummed inexplicably, and then asked casually, "Then do you know where the spy is?" ”

Lu Zheng's gaze moved slightly, and he intersected with the prince for a moment, and then replied: "Please forgive the emperor, after the minister caught someone that day, he felt that the matter was serious, and he didn't dare to make decisions without permission, and the palace gate was closed at that time, and the minister couldn't meet the emperor, so he handed the person over to His Royal Highness the prince, as for who the spy was... Chen dared to guess that it seemed to be the accent of the Western Regions. ”

"You," Emperor Hui listened to Lu Zheng's words, suddenly laughed, pointed at Lu Zheng and nodded a few times before continuing, "I often say, tell you not to only care about leading troops to fight, when you have time, you can also read more books on the side, and also learn the way of being an official, you only know that the person has a Western Regions accent, but I don't know, what he is working for, this looks at people, you can't just be superficial, this point, you are not as good as your father......"

Speaking of this, Emperor Hui suddenly paused, and a little unnatural flashed on his face.

Lu Zheng's father is dead, and mentioning him at this time doesn't make Lu Zheng sad.

Simply, Lu Zheng didn't think much about it, and replied respectfully: "The emperor has taught me a lesson, and the minister has been taught." ”

Emperor Hui hummed with satisfaction, and turned his head to look at the prince, "This person is your chief judge, then you can tell Lu Zheng the inside story." ”

"Yes, Father," the crown prince bowed and replied, then turned to Lu Zheng and said, "The person you caught, the bones are very hard, and he took the Ouchi guards to interrogate for a few days before he found a breakthrough, you said that this person spoke with a Western Regions accent, which is true, but he is not for the Western Regions, but for the Huns." ”

"Huns?" Lu Zhengqi said, "When did the Xiongnu also train people from the Western Regions to be spies?" ”

"What's the case," the prince smiled, then glanced at Emperor Hui, and said meaningfully, "Strange Dao Father said that you should read more books on weekdays and walk around more with the ministers in the court, your heart is really too straight." ”

When Emperor Hui heard this, he laughed, "Hey, it's okay for Lu Zheng to be like this, I like his straightforward nature, and I can rest assured that I will hand over the northwest frontier to him." ”

There is some deep meaning in what I said.

The crown prince pondered for a moment, then took over and echoed: "What my father said is exactly what my son said, and my son also thinks so. ”

Emperor Hui nodded with a smile and motioned for the prince to continue.

The prince turned to Lu Zheng again and said: "It's not that the Xiongnu trained the people of the Western Regions to be spies, but this person, who is of Xiongnu blood at all, he is a descendant of Khotanese and the Huns, mixed with blood on both sides, grew up in Khotan when he was young, because the appearance is different from the local people in Khotan, he is not liked by the locals, and later left his homeland, by chance, he was rescued by a caravan of the Huns, and found his biological father there, his father, who served in the Hun army, and later introduced him to the king of the Huns, this person was brave and knowledgeable, Got the appreciation of the king of the Huns, and then was sent to the secret agent camp, secret training, because of its special accent, has been used many times to secretly probe the secrets of other countries, this person is not small, several times have escaped the investigation of the countries, I didn't expect, this time it will be in your hands. ”

Lu Zheng nodded, his face a little solemn, "So, he is a secret agent of the Huns, not from the Western Regions?" ”

"Exactly." The prince bowed his head, and his face was also a little dignified.

Emperor Hui asked Lu Zheng: "Tell me what you think, you are often in the northwest, and no one knows the situation of the Xiongnu better than you." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Lu Zheng bowed his head and said, "The minister thinks that the Huns are belligerent, although the Huns are defeated and retreated this time, but once they have the opportunity, they will definitely make a comeback, and the secret agent caught this time shows this point, the current Hun king is more belligerent than his father, so the minister thinks that the Huns' move must be in preparation for war." ”

Emperor Hui's eyebrows moved, he pondered for a moment, and asked Lu Zheng, "Then you say, when will this Xiongnu fight?" ”

Lu Zheng looked at Emperor Hui and did not answer immediately.

Emperor Hui's eyes were solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "You just have to say, there is no one else here, I ask, why should you hesitate." ”

Lu Zheng then continued: "If the minister's estimate is correct, March after the year has passed, and the Huns have enough soldiers and horses, and they will make a comeback in the near future." ”

When Emperor Hui heard this, even if he was angry, he slapped the imperial case fiercely, and said angrily: "The hateful small border country dares to covet my Nanzhao land from time to time, it's really hateful!" ”
