It is gratifying to surrender without a fight, but there are two sides to everything, and many times, dialectical treatment is required.

The Lu family has guarded the northwest for generations, and Lu Zheng asked himself that no one knows the situation in the northwest better than the Lu family.

Although he was recalled this time because he won the battle, this victory was too strange, so Lu Zheng always had doubts in his heart, but he never showed it in front of people.

Only a few of his henchmen knew about this idea.

There is also an insider, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

As soon as Lu Zheng came back, he met with the prince in private, and the two had a detailed discussion about the situation in the northwest all night.

The prince's opinion is the same as Lu Zheng's.

This is also why Lu Zheng wholeheartedly assists the prince.

Because the prince not only understands him, but also knows how to plan for the long term.

What the prince sees is not a little benefit in front of him.

If there is no accident, the crown prince will one day be crowned unified, and at that time, he will be the new monarch of Nanzhao.

He thought that being a virtuous monarch should be the common expectation of every courtier, and even every Nanzhao people.

Nowadays, among the several princes of the Nanzhao royal family, except for the crown prince, no one is qualified for that position.

The prince is ambitious and ambitious, but he is not arrogant, and he can listen to advice, which is quite rare.

And the eldest prince, that is, Xiao Junren, the king of Rui, is violent and impulsive, so happy, such a person, not to mention being the emperor, is a virtuous king, it is difficult to do.

Lu Zheng couldn't understand, those courtiers who supported the eldest prince were not blind?

In fact, those courtiers are blind, but they all have their own selfish intentions.

The eldest prince is unkind, the remaining three princes, the fourth prince and the fifth prince are too young, and the eldest third prince is only eleven years old, and it is difficult for him to become a climate.

Therefore, the trend of this court faintly presents a situation of separation between the two parties.

It's just that King Rui's mother, Concubine Rong Guifei, is now very favored, so King Rui's actions are even more arrogant.

The so-called one person who has attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, there is nothing wrong with this saying wherever it is placed.

Rong Guifei and King Rui are favored forever, and even Rong Guifei's mother's family, the Wang family, is also proud of the spring breeze.

The Wang family was proud, and their subordinates were inmates, and they all became rampant.

That's why the prince said earlier that now in the court, King Rui is in the limelight.

Lu Zheng is the most unaccustomed to this kind of relationship network developed by relying on various nepotism.

He is a military general, a strong iron-blooded man, and he would rather sprinkle his blood on the battlefield than intrigue with these flattering villains and fight to the death.

But above the court, it has been like this since ancient times.

Party strife has always been so cruel, although Lu Zheng is impatient, it doesn't mean that he really doesn't understand anything and doesn't know.

If this is the case, the prince will not dare to hand over this secret matter to him.

The crown prince was suppressed by King Rui again, and he would not even have the manpower to inquire about the news.

The reason why he sent Lu Zheng was because this incident had something to do with the northwest.

The prince understands very well that the person who knows the situation in the northwest best now, except for Lu Zheng, will not be his choice.

Since Lu Zheng chose to support him, then he will also give Lu Zheng enough support and trust.

And Lu Zheng really didn't disappoint him, and brought back what he asked for safely.

In fact, things are not that important, but when it comes to the eldest brother, this little important thing also has some value.

He wasn't a good man, and never was.

Only those who don't know him will think that he is what he sees on the outside, that kind and polite appearance.

Is the appearance deceitful, the children who grew up in the palace, who can't do some drama!

If his father really favored him, as the crown prince, he didn't need to bother to plan so carefully and act carefully.

But the love of his father and the emperor is not his sister-in-law, but the big brother who opposes him everywhere and competes with him in everything!

If he is not careful and hides his thoughts, I am afraid that the position of this prince will be difficult to sit in prison!

Thinking of this, the prince frowned and laughed silently.

After laughing, he said to Lu Zheng: "The northwest has won many battles, and my father is very happy, but in this way, I am afraid that in the short term, I will not send you back, I estimate, or in a few days, your appointment will come down, I tell you the truth, most of it is a casual job, it is difficult to have any real power, you have to be prepared, don't lose your dignity in front of your father, lead him to be jealous." ”

"Another point, the eldest brother met his maternal uncle and father-in-law Wang Changping privately this time, in order to distribute military supplies to the northwest next month, it is said that this matter was originally the responsibility of the Ministry of War, but he crossed his grandfather Wang Depu, who was the secretary of the Ministry of War, and secretly went to see Wang Changping, I am afraid that the two have some interests in private."

When Lu Zheng heard this, he frowned coldly and asked, "Does Your Highness think that they want to take advantage of this to make a fortune?" ”

The prince nodded, "I guess it's probably so." ”

Lu Zheng snorted coldly, and the coldness between his eyebrows was even worse.

He hated these people who were in charge of munitions.

The front-line generals are protecting the country with their lives, but these people who sit in the rear and enjoy the glory still want to use their hands and feet on the items used by these desperate soldiers.

It's hateful!

"Don't worry," the prince saw Lu Zheng's ugly face, so he comforted, "This matter is just my own private speculation, and I haven't got more intuitive and powerful evidence, not to mention that the two of them want to do something, it may not be so simple, I have already decided to ask my father for this errand, and I will supervise it at that time, I will take careful precautions and not give them a chance to do anything!" ”

Lu Zheng knew that the prince's words were mostly comforting him.

Although he has not been in Yejing for a long time, he often pays attention to the movements in Beijing.

He doesn't know what kind of person Lord Rui is.

If it were someone else, maybe the gold-painted flower paper I got tonight would not be considered a strong evidence, but if it was King Rui, then it would be certain.

How arrogant King Rui is now, Lu Zheng has already heard of it.

After hearing about it, of course, he understood that he had indeed made up his mind on the matter of munitions.

Lu Zheng can still bear other things, but he really can't bear this matter.

Fortunately, the prince understood his feelings, so he proposed to take on this errand.

You must know that the crown prince rarely recommends himself in front of the emperor now, because he is afraid that the emperor will be suspicious of him, and this time he took the initiative to supervise the military quartermaster, I am afraid that it is still for him.

Thinking of this, Lu Zheng's face softened a little, stood up, hugged his fists at the prince and said: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about the minister's thoughts, the big thing is important, and the minister can think of other ways to solve the military matter." ”

The prince smiled, waved his hand at Lu Zheng, and motioned for him to sit down.

"Don't worry, no matter how bad I am, I can't get in the way of a small errand."
