Chapter 142: Recruitment

After hearing Dongsheng's words, many people immediately showed disappointment, and a scholar whispered: "It seems that Dongsheng will not always protect Lu Maocai, which means that if someone frames him next time, no matter how much danger he faces, he will not help."

"Could it be that Dongsheng is so ruthless that Lu Maocai was harmed by others?"

"No, didn't you listen to what the Eastern Sage said? Heaven will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically. ”

"Dongsheng can only keep him for a while, and it is impossible to take care of him forever, so Lu Maocai can only rely on himself to break through. ”

"I see!", everyone suddenly realized.

Afterwards, Dongsheng said: "You are so self-conscious, the holy path is thorny and bumpy all the way, there are only a handful of people who can reach the peak, if you want to be more successful than others, you have to pay more than others." ”

"Little students are taught!", Lu Ming said.

This sentence seems to be said to Lu Ming, but in fact, it is also said to everyone present that this is the teachings of the saints, and everyone remembers it in their hearts.

"The scholars of the Criminal Department of the Liang State did not strictly investigate and privately convicted Mao Cai, threatening the loss of good talents of the human race, and immediately removed him from his official position, and he was not allowed to be an official within three generations, so as to set an example!"

This sentence started in Suzhou and spread to every corner of the Liang Kingdom, and everyone could hear that this was the voice of Dongsheng.

In Jingzhou, Tang Bin's face was like ashes, and he knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed to the sky: "Thank you for the grace of the saint not to kill!"

Subsequently, Zhou Dongyue came to the Criminal Department to pass on Liang Jun's holy decree, and Tang Bin could only greet him with an ugly face.

After Zhou Dongyue finished reading the content of the holy decree, he glanced at Tang Bin coldly, and said with a sneer: "Self-inflicted, don't live, Scholar Tang, you can do it yourself!"

Tang Bin was extremely ashamed and angry, glared at Zhou Dongyue fiercely, snatched the holy decree as if grabbing, and said: "Zhou Dongyue, don't be happy too early, who can laugh until the end doesn't know!"

"Maybe you don't know that Liang Jun has sent an edict to Yan Shoufu and asked him to meet him. ”

"What did you say!"

Tang Bin's face changed greatly, Liang Jun's intention was very obvious, that is, to make Yan Shoufu pay a heavy price, because Guo Fenglin was his protΓ©gΓ©, Guo Fenglin was killed by the saint, and he was also guilty as a recommender.

"This time it's really a waste of chickens and rice, and I lost my wife and broke my soldiers!", Tang Bin's face turned pale.

Suzhou, State Yamen.

The mysterious force was gone, and the sky was back to its former appearance, with white clouds fluttering in the wind.

After Dongsheng left, everyone stood up again, their faces excited.

"The governor of Suzhou is dead, and this time we must ask Liang Jun to send a respected bachelor to take office, otherwise it will be another disaster. ”

"What I said is extreme, this matter is really tortuous and bizarre, I originally thought that Lu Mao would definitely die, but I didn't expect him to have a gold medal for avoiding death, it really made us sweat for him!"

"Isn't it? How long has this Guo Zhou Mucai been in office? A good scholar, if he has to frame the good talent that Dongsheng values, he is really looking for death!"

Lu Ming ignored the others, but walked directly to Guo Fenglin's body and searched for a while.

After a while, he took out an object, it was Lu Ming's Qiankun bag, and the items such as Wenbao and the holy page and silver had not been moved, thinking that Guo Fenglin thought that he had taken it for himself, so he didn't sort out the things in it.

Lu Ming confirmed that his official seal was still hanging on his waist, this was a token of the scholar's official position, and he did not leave him an inch, and he was not snatched by Zhao Bo at that time, because this thing was useless to him.

"Lu Maocai rehabilitated Zhaoxue, congratulations!"

Everyone said hello, and Lu Ming thanked him.

Yang Xiuyuan, the four princes, and Xue Daoke walked over, smiling, and appreciative in their eyes.

Lu Ming immediately greeted him and saluted the three of them: "Thank you for your help when I was in danger, Lu Ming will always remember it in my heart and dare not forget it." ”

"Lu Maocai is polite, why bother with a gesture?", the fourth prince smiled.

Yang Xiuyuan said: "Lu Ming, this is not the place to talk, how about we find a place to sit down and talk?"

"Just go to my house, Lin Xiaoyan has a strange poison in his body, I don't know what the situation is now. Lu Ming became anxious.

Yang Xiuyuan immediately said: "Then without further ado, hurry up and go to your house to have a look!"

Lu Ming nodded, and then said goodbye to the many scholars and returned all the way.

After returning home, Lu Ming opened the door and happened to see Lin Xiaoyan drying clothes, and was stunned for a moment, "Little Yan?"

Lin Xiaoyan immediately looked over, with a look of surprise on his face, and threw himself into Lu Ming's arms without saying a word, "Lu Ming, I heard that you were arrested by the government, ...... Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but it's you, you're obviously sick, how can you ......", Lu Ming's face was solemn.

"That's right, the brothers Zhang Qing and Zhang Long came to our house yesterday......"

Lin Xiaoyan began to explain to Lu Ming, recounted what happened, and finally said happily: "Now that I'm fine, you don't have to worry." ”

"It scared the hell out of me, I thought you'd ......"

Lu Ming patted his chest with palpitations, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Lu Ming, don't leave me easily in the future, I'll go wherever you go, okay?"

"Well...... this"

"Ahem......"

Xue Daoke coughed dryly and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you, but Lu Maocai, we ...... it."

"Oh...... I'm so sorry to snub the three of you!"

Lu Ming apologized, and then said: "Xiaoyan, there are guests at home today, go and prepare a good fragrant tea to entertain." ”

Lin Xiaoyan saw that Lu Ming was so respectful to them, presumably it was a big man who was here, so he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately saluted the three of them: "Three masters, good luck, please hurry up." ”

"Please!"

Lu Ming immediately invited the three of them to sit in the living room, and Lin Xiaoyan served fragrant tea and stood beside Lu Ming, so virtuous that the four princes were very envious.

"Lu Mao is accompanied by such a beautiful woman, it is really a blessing, and it makes me envious. ”

"Brother Tai is polite, I really appreciate your help, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd have to ......"

Later, when he was forced to eat pig food, Lu Ming was really embarrassed to say it.

The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Ming said again: "Dare to ask this brother Taizun's surname, Guo Fenglin calls himself a 'lower official' to you, could it be that you are also a minister of the imperial court?"

Yang Xiuyuan said with a smile: "Actually, he is His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince of Liang State, who traveled to various states to recruit talents, and happened to pass by Suzhou, and learned that you were wrongfully arrested and sent to a prison cell, so he went to visit the prison with Xue Daoke." ”

Lu Ming's face changed, and he hurriedly saluted: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and it was rude." ”

Lin Xiaoyan next to him also followed Shi Li, his face respectful.

The fourth prince said straight to the point: "You don't have to be polite, I came to Suzhou this time mainly to recruit talents and help me ascend to the throne as soon as possible." ”

Lu Ming was suddenly shocked, glanced at Yang Xiuyuan, and thought in his heart: "Could it be that the fourth prince wants to be the future Liang Jun?" This is not a trivial matter, if you don't get it right, not only will you be ruined, but you are more likely to be abused by future generations, and you will be stinking for thousands of years. ”

Yang Xiuyuan saw Lu Ming's thoughts and said, "Lu Ming, you may not know that the reason why Yan Kun is powerful is because of the strong support of the three princes. ”

"I see!", Lu Ming seemed to understand something.

Yang Xiuyuan continued: "Now that the crown prince has not been established, the eldest prince and the second prince are bent on pursuing the holy path, and they have not returned since they went to the Demon Realm Mountain to practice, so Liang Jun can only choose between the third prince and the fourth prince. ”

"The three princes are very ambitious, they want to ascend to the throne as soon as possible, they have a large number of soldiers and horses in their hands, and let Yan Kun take charge of half of the country, if Liang Jun makes the three princes the crown prince, I am afraid it will be a disaster for the people of Liang State. ”

Lu Ming nodded when he heard this, Yan Kun is a minister of the Liang State, the people under his rule are miserable, the three princes do not focus on the country, but assist Yan Kun, from this point of view, the three princes and Yan Kun are the same kind of people.

And the fourth prince has Yang Xiuyuan by his side, the two sides are equal and hostile to each other, no matter who Liang Jun appoints as the crown prince, there will be a civil war between the two sides.

The crown prince is the future monarch, and Liang Jun will definitely not pass on the country to the three princes, but the power of the four princes is not strong enough, and if the throne is passed to him, the three princes will definitely oppose it.

It is estimated that this matter is enough to make Liang Jun think about it exhaustively.

"Xiao Sheng only wanted to pursue the holy path wholeheartedly and make some contributions to the people in the future, and he never thought that there would be such a sinister battle between the DPRK and China. Lu Ming sighed.

The fourth prince stood up, looked at Lu Ming deeply, and said sincerely: "So I want to ask Lu Maocai to wish me a hand, for the people of Liang Country, for the future of Liang Kingdom!"

"The four princes are serious, please get up quickly!"

Lu Ming hurriedly helped the fourth prince up, looked at Yang Xiuyuan, and saw that he nodded slightly, and his eyes flashed with determination.

"Thanks to the love of the four princes, there is no way to repay the kindness of helping each other in prison, all the future dispatches, as long as they do not violate the conscience and morality of the world, Lu Ming is willing to help with all his might, and it is incumbent on him!"

After Lu Ming finished speaking, he was also deeply troubled, and his attitude was sincere.

"Maocai, please!"

The fourth prince helped Lu Ming up, and said with great joy: "I have Maocai's help like a fish in water, if I can achieve great things in the future, I will not forget my great kindness." ”

"The four princes are polite, as long as they can do something for the people, they will never give up. ”

"Good!"

The fourth prince smiled: "In the future, we will be our own people, if we don't dislike it, I will call you 'virtuous brother', and you call me 'big brother', how about it?"

"This ......"

Lu Ming hesitated, looked at Yang Xiuyuan again, and saw him nodding with a smile on his face, so he smiled and said, "Okay, big brother, please sit down, and we will talk in detail." ”

"Brother Xian, please. ”

The two sat down again, and Yang Xiuyuan said: "Today's matter must not be publicized, if anyone asks, you must not say anything about your relationship with the four princes." ”

"Yes, Xiaosheng understands, I must be tight-lipped. ”

The little woman also promised the three that she would never tell the matter. Lin Xiaoyan said. (To be continued.) )
