Jiangning City is the economic, political and cultural center of the entire south of the Yangtze River, the scale of the city is second only to the imperial capital, the population of the city is nearly one million, all kinds of shops are lined up, and even a whole street is the Chu Pavilion Song Tower.

In short, it is one word - prosperity.

From the scale of Jiangning City, we can also see the strength of King Wu, one occupies the second largest city in the world, and Jiangnan is known as the granary of the world, such a vassal king is either famous in history, or it is stinking for thousands of years.

Chen Zhuo is the first time to come to Jiangning, whether it is in his own or memory, Chen Yuwei is also the first time, so is Gai Liniang, and it is the first time for everyone in Dongshui Village.

And King Wu also attached great importance to Chen Zhuo's arrival, although he did not personally go out of the city to greet him, but he sent his right-hand man, the governor of the palace, Shi Cuicheng, to personally greet him outside the city.

However, when Chen Zhuo saw Jiang Ningcheng, he was stunned for a moment.

Because Chen Zhuo actually saw a huge black dragon entrenched in the sky above Jiangning City, the black dragon had distinct scales and armor, and his eyes seemed to be closed, as if he was napping, and he felt that he would wake up at any time.

This black dragon is invisible to ordinary people, but Chen Zhuo's knowledge of feng shui physiognomy has accumulated a lot, and he can see some mysterious things like luck.

"What is my brother looking at?" Chen Yuwei noticed that her brother was staring at the sky for a long time, so she asked curiously.

"This Jiang Ning is good, there is a dragon qi gathering, it seems that we have come to the right place." Chen Zhuo didn't hide it, but he only clicked to the point, after all, others can't see the black dragon of luck.

Just as the brother and sister were talking, the head of the palace, Shi Cuicheng, appeared, and Chen Zhuo hurriedly greeted him.

The other party is a scribe of about forty, gentle and courteous, and Chen Zhuo is also respectful, not deliberately lowering his posture, but sophisticated.

The two exchanged a few simple greetings, and then Cui Cheng took Chen Zhuo into the city, first took Chen Zhuo and others to a pavilion, which had been cleaned up and specially used to house the Dongshui Village group.

Where have those reckless men in Dongshui Village seen such a magnificent place, one by one, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and soon spreading joy in the pavilion.

Chen Zhuo didn't know that his subordinates were so unbearable, so he took Chen Yuwei and Gai Liniang to follow Cui Cheng to the palace.

Now Gai Liniang appears in front of people as Chen Yuwei's maid, although she is a little older, but her well-maintained appearance is not bad, but she can't see a sense of disobedience.

The Wu Mansion looked quite magnificent from the outside, but when Chen Zhuo entered the mansion gate, he found that it was not the same as the magnificence he imagined.

The real Wu Wangfu looks in disrepair, revealing simplicity everywhere, and the only thing that is commendable may be the cleanliness of the house.

This old and simple palace, Chen Yuwei was a little surprised, she asked her brother with her eyes, Chen Zhuo just shook his head gently, indicating that now is not the time to speak.

Now Chen Zhuo understands that the price of King Wu's virtuous name is not small at all, and it is estimated that his life is not comfortable in ordinary times.

Soon Cui Cheng took Chen Zhuo's brothers and sisters to a living room, which was also decorated simply, and when the two of them sat down, there was a maid from the palace to serve tea, and Chen Zhuo took a sip and it was not a good tea.

"Brother, this palace is too cold, right? I feel that it is not as good as the county government of our Qinghe County. After the maid and Cui Cheng left, Chen Yuwei whispered to Chen Zhuo that she thought of something in front of her brother.

Chen Zhuo estimated that this was what King Wu made to the outside world, and the purpose was of course to win fame, but whether it was pretended or not, it could be pretended to this extent, at least on the surface, King Wu was good.

"A prince is not greedy for pleasure, does not build tall buildings, does not build a wide courtyard, what does my sister think of such a prince?" Chen Zhuo is also outspoken, except for the secret of the experience card in front of his sister, there is no secret.

Chen Yuwei was a little surprised when she heard this, she was talented and intelligent, although she had never read, but she understood everything, and she had actually followed Gai Liniang to read and write these days, Chen Zhuo said that she understood that Wu Wangzhi was in the world.

But then Chen Yuwei said very longingly: "I heard a long time ago that His Royal Highness King Wu loves the people like a son, brother, look at this Jiangning, it is obviously much better than our Jiangzhou Mansion and Jinhua Mansion, if the world is governed by King Wu, maybe all the people can live a good life?" ”

Chen Yuwei knows that the world is not peaceful, her idea is very simple, it is nothing more than that there are many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the emperor is stupid and treacherous in the court, and Wu Wang is famous, if King Wu becomes the emperor, then the people in the world can live a good life.

Chen Zhuo felt that his sister was still a little naïve, how could a deeply corrupted world be changed by one person?

But Chen Zhuo didn't take this well, and when he was thinking about how to answer his sister, a hearty laugh suddenly came from outside the house: "Haha, the little girl is just talking about it in the palace, and it's not fun to say so when you go out!" ”

Before the words fell, a man wearing a reckless dragon robe, but his clothes had been washed a little white, there were obvious traces of sewing on the corners and necklines, and a three-inch beard under his chin walked into the living room.

Cui Cheng stood behind the man, whether it was his appearance or clothing, it showed that this person was King Wu.

Chen Zhuo hurriedly got up, after all, he came to seek refuge with others, and he still had to have a number of courtesies or something.

When Chen Yuwei saw her brother get up, she quickly followed and stood up.

"Grass people Chen Zhuo, bring her sister to meet His Royal Highness King Wu." Chen Zhuo just bowed down and saluted King Wu, while Chen Yuwei put her hands on her waist and bowed.

"Lone knows, you are a heroic and free character, Lone has not liked these red tape since he was a child, no courtesy, sit down and talk." King Wu waved his hand and said generously, not only did he not blame Chen for being light, but the implication was that he didn't have to pay too much attention to cumbersome etiquette in the future.

If you really want to follow the rules and regulations of the imperial court, the common people will bow down when they see the prince and the emperor.

King Wu walked straight to the main seat and sat down, and then the Chen Zhuo brothers and sisters also sat down a little restrained.

Chen Yuwei is really a little restrained, but Chen Zhuo is mostly pretending, he does not have such a deep class concept, in his opinion, taking refuge in King Wu is just that he and King Wu take what they need, strictly speaking, the two should be in a cooperative relationship.

King Wu is a very charismatic person, and a few words naturally shorten the distance between him and Chen Zhuo, and he shows what a virtuous king should be.

After a while, King Wu got to the point, he glanced at Cui Cheng, and then Cui Cheng walked out, but soon came back, and he was still dragging a wooden plate with both hands, on which was placed a square thing wrapped in satin, which looked like it should be an official seal.

"Lone has already taken care of everything, you are the commander of the left guard of Wu Wangfu, this time you have made a contribution to the case of Li Shoude's corruption and perversion of the law, Lone recommended you to the imperial court to take over as the guerrilla general of Jinhua Mansion, this is the appointment document of the Ministry of War, and the official seal is here, from now on you are the Jinhua guerrilla general of Zhengwupin." King Wu stood up and said, pulling out a letter-like thing from his sleeve and handing it to Chen Zhuo.

Chen Zhuo thought about several situations in which King Wu would reuse himself, but his pattern was still small, and he never thought that as soon as King Wu came up, he directly let himself replace Li Shoude as the new Jinhua guerrilla general.

Jinhua guerrilla general, with nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses, is the largest military force in Jinhua Mansion, Li Shoude was not a person of King Wu before, and now he actually gave such an important position to a newcomer who had just come to take refuge.

"Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, my subordinates will not disappoint Your Highness." Chen Zhuo said with his fists clenched, and then took the official document and official seal.

Chen Zhuo was very satisfied with this result, after all, he led an army alone, and the degree of freedom was relatively high.

"You need to master the soldiers and horses of the Jinhua battalion as soon as possible, and there are two other things you need to pay attention to. First, not long ago, the newly appointed Jinhua Mansion sentenced Jia Tingsong, because this person was mediocre and greedy for money in the past, although he repeatedly expressed his desire to take refuge in Lone, but Lone did not take a fancy to him, but recently this person has cracked several major cases, and he has taken the line of the prince, and has been promoted to the sixth grade of the general judgment because of his merits. You may know that not long ago he was the commander of Qinghe County. King Wu paused when he said this, this Jia Tingsong is the Jia County Order who swallowed Chen Zhuo's thirty taels of silver.

Chen Zhuo only felt that it was too coincidental when he heard this, this is really a narrow road, now that Jia Tingsong is tantamount to hitting his own gun.

Chen Zhuo didn't care about the two things of controlling the Jinhua camp and dealing with Jia Tingsong, and in his opinion, they were all trivial matters.

And King Wu suddenly paused before saying the second thing, and Chen Zhuo estimated that this second thing might be the real big and difficult thing.
