Li Qinzai finally understood a little bit that the Lu clan of Wu Jun took the initiative to find him.

To put it bluntly, it is to show goodwill and show loyalty to the court.

The Lu family, one of the eight major families, was willing to compromise with the imperial court and obey the imperial court's decrees.

Planting new grain is only a superficial statement, but in fact, the subtext of the Lu family is that the Lu family is willing to comply with the decrees of the imperial court in the future.

Li Qinzai stared at Lu Yun's face and smiled with interest.

Since going down to Jiangnan, the impasse between him and the Jiangnan Wang clan seems to have begun to break from this moment.

After all, Li Qinzai can't be so naïve to believe it, he needs to verify Lu's attitude.

"Why did Brother Huai'an suddenly express this attitude? I don't think I said that I came to Jiangnan to plant new grains, right? ”

Lu Yun glanced at King Teng and said with a wry smile: "His Royal Highness King Teng has been promoting new grain varieties in Jiangnan in the past two years, and more than ten prefectures and counties in Jiangnan have resisted. ”

Li Qinzai smiled again: "King Teng asked you to plant, but you didn't agree, I didn't say anything when I came to Jiangnan, so you took the initiative to express your position, why?" ”

Lu Yun sighed: "His Royal Highness King Teng said something ugly in front of him, please don't blame His Highness." His Royal Highness was kind enough to persuade the officials and the wang clan when he implemented the trial planting of new grain, but the Jiangnan officials and the wang clan were unwilling to comply. ”

"But Li Jungong is here, and behind him is General Xue's 20,000 troops, not only that, but Li Jungong has hunted on behalf of the sky several times, and each time it is a sea of corpses and blood, which is quite murderous."

"This time Li Jungong came to Jiangnan, obviously because the person who came was not good, we don't know what the mood of other families is, but I, the Lu family of Wu County, dare not take this risk, and the tiger beard of Li Jungong ......"

"So it's better to express your stance early and ask for peace for the whole Lu clan. Whether or not to grow new grain is actually not a big deal, the Jiangnan Wang clan deliberately confronted the emperor of the court for this matter, showing the local power, it is really inappropriate, it is the way to take trouble, and my Lu family does not dare to agree. ”

Li Qinzai nodded.

To put it bluntly, Wu Jun Lu was instigated.

King Teng's promotion of new grain was refused, and he slipped back to Chang'an, and the Son of Heaven immediately sent Li Qin down to the south of the Yangtze River, and also brought 20,000 troops.

The imperial court claimed to the outside world that the 20,000 soldiers and horses under Xue Rengui's department were coming to Jiangnan to practice martial arts, which could only fool fools.

Among the eight major families in the south of the Yangtze River, the Lu family of Wujun is very knowledgeable about current affairs.

At the beginning of the conflict with Li Qinzai in Chang'an City, Li Qinzai gave them a lesson, and that time the resentful Son of Heaven pulled a bias in the middle, forcing the head of the Eight Noble Clans to come to Chang'an in person and come to the door to apologize to Li Qinzai.

The face of the wang clan was lost in Chang'an, is the matter over?

Ostensibly it's over, but the aftermath is still there.

In Jiangnan, everyone is a soil emperor, and the face lost in Chang'an City, they want to get it back in Jiangnan.

King Teng promoted the planting of new grain in Jiangnan, and returned with no results, which was the face of Li Zhi thrown by the Jiangnan Wang clan.

They wanted Li Zhi to know that in the land of Jiangnan, the emperor's decree did not work, and the power of the family family worked, and without the support of the Jiangnan family, the imperial court's decree would be a piece of waste paper when it came to the ground.

This was just a secret battle between the two sides that could not be declared, but the Jiangnan Wang clan did not expect that after King Teng returned to Chang'an, the Son of Heaven sent Li Qinzai to Jiangnan without making a sound.

Not only did they send Li Qinzai, but they also sent 20,000 troops.

What Li Qinzai and others don't know is how much shocking effect this move has produced in the Jiangnan Wang clan.

Countless small meetings were held, and everyone was speculating about the purpose of Li Qinzai's trip, especially Xue Rengui's 20,000 troops stationed in Yuezhou, which was eyeing the land south of the Yangtze River, which made the Wang clan even more panicked.

Li Qinzai is not a good type, whether it was Tuyuhun or Goguryeo, it is not too much to say that he killed people like hemp, and now this killing god came to Jiangnan with an army of 20,000, not to kill people, is it to pay homage to the eight major families?

There are eight families, each with a different style of life.

Some head iron, come to the 100,000 army, I am sure that you dare not touch my cold hair, the granary land in the south of the Yangtze River is not afraid of causing a civil uprising? If there is a change in Jiangnan, will the emperor's position still be secure?

Some of them are cowardly, how much hatred and resentment, the swords and halberds of the army are almost in front of the nose, is it necessary to be tough with the court? Hundreds of years of ancestral inheritance, more than 1,000 people in the whole clan, who has the courage to gamble that the court will not dare to touch them?

The Lu clan of Wujun belonged to the category of cowardice, so Lu Yun took the initiative to show favor on behalf of the Lu clan.

It's a big gift, it's a banquet and a hospitality, it's impossible to make friends.

Of course, Lu Yun couldn't admit that Wu Jun Lu was instigated, but Li Qinzai knew it, and he didn't break it after smiling slightly.

"Brother Huai'an, drink to win." Li Qinzai toasted with a cup.

Lu Yun hurriedly held the cup in both hands, and his posture was as low as dust.

The two drank a glass of wine, Li Qinzai put down the wine cup, and asked with a smile: "Of the eight major families in the south of the Yangtze River, which one else has the same mind as the Lu family of Wujun?" ”

Lu Yun shook his head cautiously: "If you don't know, Li Jungong may not believe it, but in fact, it is not common for the eight major wang clans to exchange news. ”

"This time Li Jungong went to Jiangnan, and the eight major wang clans had several contacts with each other, but in the end, what conclusions did each family come to, how to deal with Li Jungong, the Lu family really doesn't know, no one will tell their true thoughts to their foreign surnames."

"Just as in the next day, the Lu clan of Wu County visited Li Jungong, and other families also don't know."

Li Qinzai smiled: "It's okay, I only believe what I see, in the future, I will be close friends with the Lu family of Wu County, this trip to Jiangnan, no matter the wind and waves, the Lu family can be safe and sound." ”

Lu Yun was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and thanked him.

Giving gifts, drinking and feasting and expressing his position, Lu Yun was waiting for Li Qinzai's promise.

And Li Qinzai is also very sensible, he accepted the gifts from others, and the people took the initiative to move closer to the imperial court, and he had to do some personnel after all.

As soon as the Lu clan of Chongwu County broke the current deadlock, Li Qinzai should keep this family.

It doesn't matter if you are friends or enemies, if you have the same interests, you are an ally in the trenches.

After finishing speaking, Lu Yun clapped his hands, and the kabuki who had just exited re-entered the hall.

The melodious sound of silk and bamboo was played melodiously again, and the young and beautiful Maiko shook their long sleeves, smiled and flattered their eyes like silk, and danced in the hall.

Li Qinzai's face was slightly red, he had drunk a lot of wine just now, he was already a little drunk, his eyes widened at the moment, and he looked at the enchanting dancing of the dancers without blinking, and secretly swallowed his saliva.

The emperor is far away, and the mother-in-law is not around, do you want to ...... tonight

However, Li Qinzai forgot that his mother-in-law was not around, but there was an old man by his side.

King Teng sat on the seat, coldly watching Li Qinzai's action of swallowing saliva, and couldn't help but let out an angry snort.
