Chapter 354: An Old Friend Is Coming
In the palace of Changning County, Lu Ning hosted a banquet to entertain his father and brother, and then the family had a reunion together.
Before leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Lu Ning and said.
"You kid hasn't taken the initiative to take out the things, you have to wait for us to talk to you, right?"
Lu Ning was speechless, and didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was talking about, so he said.
"Father, whatever you say, as long as I have everything here, I will dedicate it to you, and I will never hide it."
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to an empty bottle of happy water in his hand and said to Lu Ning.
"Didn't you make an upgraded version of the fat house happy water? Then bring me a box first, let's take it back and taste it slowly, understand. ”
Lu Ning saw Zhu Yuanzhang's serious appearance, and his heart was a little warm.
Such an Emperor Hongwu naturally does not look like the monarch who kills decisively, but more like the uncle who likes to nag and cause trouble to himself when he was in Changning County.
He hurriedly told Fauber.
"I still have three boxes of fat house happy water in my backyard, all of them will be carried back by my father in a carriage."
Fu Bo scratched his head, and he said directly to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Your Majesty, there are some things that shouldn't be the old slave's mouth, but the fat house happy water, after drinking too much, it's not good for your teeth, so you still have to drink less."
Zhu Yuanzhang is very confident, although he is nearly sixty years old, his body is still very good, and his teeth are still very strong.
He was still very happy about Fu Bo's kind reminder, after all, it showed that Lu Ning's people were caring about him.
So, he casually untied a piece of jade pendant and threw it to Fu Bo as a reward.
After Zhu Yuanzhang left, Lu Ning just wanted to take a rest, but heard a guard outside enter the door.
"Lord Qiqi, there is a Lord Liu outside who asks to see him, he came to Beijing from other places to report on his work, and he came to see you this time."
Lu Ning was very speechless, he had been closed all along, and everyone didn't know who this king of Changning was.
This Lord Liu has no friendship with himself, and he only cares about the door-to-door relationship, which is a little annoying.
Thinking of this, Lu Ning said to the guard.
"You go back for me and say, I don't have any friendship with this Lord Liu, and my body is also unsafe, so I'll visit the door another day, and I'll block the car today."
Unexpectedly, the guard said something again.
"If there are no special circumstances, I don't dare to come and disturb the prince casually, but then Lord Liu said, you are the king of Changning County, he used to be the commander of Changning County, and there is a saying for coming here today."
Now that he has said this, Lu Ning is really hard to refuse.
He wanted to see who this mysterious lord was, so he asked the guards to bring him in.
After the two met, Lu Ning took a closer look, and this person turned out to be his old friend Liu Changlu.
Only then did I remember that because he was inventing in Changning, Liu Changlu also rose with the tide, was promoted to the prefect of Changzhou and was named a baron.
After the two met, they were naturally very close, and Lu Ning hurriedly set up a banquet to entertain them.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Lu Ning asked Liu Changlu.
"Brother, you haven't served as the governor of Changzhou for three years, why are you in a hurry to report to Beijing? It's impossible to get promoted. ”
Liu Changlu sighed, and he replied to Lu Ning helplessly.
"Brother, you're joking, in fact, I was because I offended the powerful and couldn't continue to serve as the prefect, so I entered Beijing to wait for the officials to be assigned a new official position."
After finishing speaking, he told Lu Ning what had happened.
It turned out that he cleaned up a bully when he was in the prefect's office, and directly beat the other party to cripple with a board.
Unexpectedly, the bully turned out to be Tang Shengzong's cousin, and as a result, this Ji'an Hou was impeached and dismissed, waiting for redistribution.
Lu Ning couldn't help frowning, if it was someone else, it would be fine, but it turned out to be this Ji'an Hou Tang Shengzong.
This can't help but make him a little depressed, some time ago, it was precisely because he killed Tang Baozong in Hangzhou that he was a little at odds with the generals of Tang Shengzong's line.
It seems that Huaixi Xun is indeed a problem that needs to be solved urgently by the imperial court.
However, the most important thing in front of him is to solve the matter of his old friend Liu Changlu, so Lu Ning said with a smile.
"Don't worry, it's not a problem, if you are willing to continue to be your prefect, I will say hello to the officials and let you take office in another place, but if you don't want to, I also have an idea, but I am a little wronged by you."
Liu Changlu didn't know what Lu Ning's arrangements were, so he said.
"My brother can plan for me, I'm already inexplicably grateful, just say it, I will make a choice."
Lu Ning said to Liu Changlu with a smile.
"Brother now knows, I was adopted as an adopted son and named the king of Changning County, although it has not been announced to the public, but it has formed a regulation, my house still lacks a five-grade long history, if the brother is willing to condescend, you can come to me, we can get along day and night."
Although Liu Changlu was dismissed, his current rank is fourth, and the long history of the palace is only fifth.
Therefore, Lu Ning felt that if he made such an arrangement, he would be a little wronged and could only listen to his own ideas.
Unexpectedly, Liu Changlu replied directly and clearly.
"I can have today's identity, and it all depends on my brother, I don't care what official level I have, let alone being a long history here with you, even if I am a non-grade housekeeper, I am content."
Since it came to this, Lu Ning no longer shirked, he said it immediately.
"In that case, then I will soon send an official document to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so that they can officially appoint you, and from now on, my brother will stay in my mansion, and we will start a career together."
Liu Changlu asked Lu Ning with a smile.
"I heard that you have made a lot of enemies in the court now, and many people don't like you very well, and there have always been imperial historians attacking you, so it must not be very pleasant these days."
Lu Ning was speechless for a while, and he had to answer indifferently.
"I've never heard anyone say that they won't farm anymore when they see a lala cricket, they just toss if they want toss, I don't care."
