Chapter 34: Lu Zhongheng's Little Cleverness
Chapter 34: Lu Zhongheng's Little Cleverness
Obviously, after Lu Xian went home, he told Lu Zhongheng. Lu Zhongheng suddenly couldn't sit still.
It can be said that Lu Zhongheng has done a lot of things for money. What encroaches on public land. colluded with Hu Weiyong and so on. was punished by Zhu Yuanzhang several times, and Hu Weiyong's case was also involved. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang let him go.
Tossed a few times, and can be restored.
There is no one left in this holy grace.
Of course, no matter how good the affection is, it will eventually wear out. It's another world, though. At least the current Lu Zhongheng, he didn't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang would kill him at all.
Lu Zhongheng was in his forties, full of big ears, and after saluting Li Shanchang, he didn't greet him at all, and said: "Guogong, what the prince said about the sea, do you think you can really make money?" ”
Li Shanchang said: "I don't really understand, but since the prince has spoken. It shouldn't be a lie. Just ------"
Lu Zhongheng didn't wait for Li Shanchang to finish speaking, and said, "That's fine." ”
Li Shanchang said: "It's just that Lu Hou, the prince is relieved, and we also have to pay the price." ”
Lu Zhongheng said; "It doesn't matter. What does Your Majesty want. I'll give it to Lu. Just want my life, the money is enough, and Lao Tzu will sell it. Your Majesty won't treat me badly anyway. But it's really hard to have a life without money. ”
Li Shanchang didn't know how to persuade Lu Zhongheng for a while.
Lu Zhongheng didn't have any lofty ideals, and now that he has his current position, there is already green smoke on his ancestral grave, which he couldn't have imagined back then. In modern terms, Lu Zhongheng has long been corrupted and degenerate, and has lost his passion for revolution. There is also not much thought about power.
Because Lu Zhongheng knows that he is actually lacking in ability.
He's a general, not a handsome.
Now what Daming needs more is a general who can defend one side and have excellent military and political excellence. And Lu Zhongheng only knows how to fight. Not quite right. And the seniority is very old, and it is difficult for him to be a deputy. In other words, he has reached the top of his life now. Above him are Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Fu Youde, and Feng Guoyong. Even his status is still above Fu Youde, but in terms of ability, it is far inferior.
In this case, Lu Zhongheng is single-minded and only wants to make money.
Whoever stands in my way from making money, who is my enemy.
Whoever helps me make money is my friend.
History is also because of this, Lu Zhongheng made Zhu Yuanzhang unbearable, and finally died.
But now because of this, Lu Zhongheng saw the shadow of Qian and immediately decided to hug Zhu Yuanzhang's thigh, he didn't even realize that he actually jumped from Li Shanchang's camp to Zhu Yuanzhang's camp. I'm sorry. As a rough person, Lu Zhongheng doesn't understand the twists and turns in politics. It's purely a lack of brain volume. He also thought that everyone was still as close as a family in Dingyuan.
Li Shanchang is considered a first-rate person in the world. For many people, it is a matter of rigidity. Gain, as long as you move your mind, Li Shanchang can catch the flaw. But for a character like Lu Joong-hyung. Li Shanchang suddenly had no choice.
It's stupid to the extreme, and it's invincible.
Li Shanchang had a bad premonition in his heart.
He felt that Lu Zhongheng's behavior would have a very bad impact on him, but he didn't know how to reverse it.
After all, when Lu Zhongheng came, it was useless to say anything, just talk about money. But Li Shanchang's family background is also very thick. But you can't give money for no reason, right?
------
After all, Lu Zhongheng is a general. There isn't much political wisdom, but there's no lack of cleverness.
Li Shanchang's deep-seated opinion, Lu Zhongheng did not understand. But on the surface, Lu Zhongheng understood it. He also made his own little calculations. For him, the power is now at its peak. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to take something, Lu Zhongheng didn't care.
In other words, Lu Zhongheng's self-positioning has always been problematic.
Although he tried to make money, he was punished by Zhu Yuanzhang many times. Make a big mess. But Lu Zhongheng still thinks that he is Zhu Yuanzhang's descendant and an old team. He is loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang. If someone wants to kill Zhu Yuanzhang, he would rather die on Zhu Yuanzhang's behalf.
Of course, loyalty and single-mindedness in making money. Contradictory?
Anyway, Lu Zhongheng doesn't feel contradictory.
He had something to ask Li Shanchang, it was the image of Li Shanchang's wise man, and in his opinion, it was already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After all, it has been like this for twenty or thirty years. I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
"Your Majesty is a serious person, and it is not easy to curry favor from him. But the mother is the best. It's better to go and explore the mother's tone first. Lu Zhongheng thought in his heart.
When he just defected to Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma treated him like a sister-in-law and a mother. Even, Lu Zhongheng's wife was arranged by Queen Ma. Although he felt that he was a loyal servant of His Majesty. But if you really want to talk about it, he is closer to Queen Ma than Zhu Yuanzhang.
Lu Zhongheng thought about it all night.
Early the next morning, I went to see Queen Ma.
Queen Ma has been recuperating for more than half a year, although her body is still weak. But it's almost.
Lu Zhongheng came to see him. Queen Ma naturally came to see her.
Lu Zhongheng exchanged a few words with Queen Ma and said; "Niangniang, this is ginseng from the Northeast. Worth a thousand gold. specially came to mend the mother's body. As he spoke, he took out a sandalwood box lined with bright yellow silk and a molded ginseng more than a foot long. I don't know how many years of ginseng this size.
It's worth a thousand gold, and it's not fake.
Seeing this, Queen Ma said, "Come on, take a thousand taels of silver and give it to Ji'an Hou." ”
Immediately, a female officer took the ginseng and went to fetch the money.
Lu Zhongheng said; "Niangniang, it's just a ginseng, it's not in the way."
Queen Ma coughed twice and said; "Out of the way. You, you, after so many years, haven't grown up yet. Your family's Yulu and Xuntian, combined in a year, are only a few thousand taels of income. One ginseng is a thousand taels, and your loser's posture doesn't know what it looks like inside. Remember not to do things that break the law and discipline, there is really no money. Come to me. I have some pockets here. ”
"That's enough for you."
"Your Majesty is worried about you. Last time Hu Weiyong's matter, you yourself were not clean, and you were involved. You don't know how disappointed and angry Your Majesty is. ”
Queen Ma chattered and reprimanded Lu Zhongheng for a long time.
Lu Zhongheng seems to have returned to his teenage years, and can only nod yes. Don't dare to refute.
In fact, Lu Zhongheng didn't dare to say more, the income of several thousand taels of silver a year was open. Although he violated the law and discipline, Lu Zhongheng did not dare to do it now. After all, Hu Weiyong's case just gave him a blow to the head, he can be honest for a few years, and after a few years, it is difficult to say what it will look like.
But in the world, there is not only black and white, but also gray areas.
In short, the Lu family has been around for a year, and the income is more than 10,000 taels.
It's just that these entries are not easy to explain to Queen Ma.
Queen Ma stuffed a thousand taels of silver to Lu Zhongheng and said; "Let you take it, and you can take it."
Lu Zhongheng immediately took it with both hands and said, "I know that my mother loves me." It's just that I can't even afford to give my mother a ginseng. It's a shame to use the mother's money. ”
Queen Ma said: "If you feel ashamed, don't spend money lavishly." You are also from a bitter background. Knowing what the people below are like, you are already a heavenly day. What is not to be satisfied with. ”
Lu Zhongheng didn't dare to refute in his mouth, but he secretly said in his heart: "It is precisely because I was born in hardship, the glory and wealth of the world, and the red dust of the world, I have no knowledge and no enjoyment, how can I be willing, back then, birth and death, wasn't it for this?" ”
Lu Zhongheng said: "Niangniang, the prince invited the dog the day before yesterday, saying that the business at sea can make money. A dog can't be the master of the house. I would like to inquire if this is true. ”
If Queen Ma doesn't know Lu Zhongheng's plans now, it will not be worthy of the name.
Queen Ma looked at Lu Zhongheng, angry and funny. What's funny is that this Lu Zhongheng really has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. The good thing is that the middle-aged marquis with a fat head and big ears in front of him is not the original boy who is skinny and has a bucket of rice, just like a life-root.
However, Queen Ma is much older than Zhu Yuanzhang. said, "Okay, I'll inquire." ”
