A few days later, Lei Zhentian was invited to Bianjing City, and Zhang Xiaochuan was very happy to see it. Zhang Xiaochuan made an appointment with Zhou Ming to wash the dust for Lei Zhentian. At the banquet, Zhang Xiaochuan introduced the two of them to each other, and the two of them hugged their fists and saluted, which can be regarded as acquaintance.

"Brother Lei, it's been a long time, and Big Brother is becoming more and more heroic. Zhang Xiaochuan looked at Lei Zhentian, who was sturdy, and saw his majestic and high-spirited posture, and couldn't help but praise him. "Hahaha, Brother Xiaochuan, don't tease me. When you say that, you're really ashamed of your big brother. It's you Brother Xiaochuan, who has been famous and famous recently. Although the foolish brother is in the midst of recklessness, he has also heard a lot about this, you are really a great martial champion!" "Let Brother Lei laugh. Today, it is a great blessing in life for us brothers to be together again, and you and I must celebrate and drink heartily. "It's rare to have a confidant in life, what Brother Xiaochuan said is very true. "The three of them, although they have different identities, are all temperamental people. When everything was ready to stop, the three of them pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and drank happily.

After three rounds of drinking, Lei Zhentian opened his mouth to Zhang Xiaochuan and said, "Brother Xiaochuan sent a letter, inviting Brother Yu to come to the capital to meet, saying that there is something important to discuss, and the implication is very urgent, I don't know what is important?" "Brother Lei, that's the case, the younger brother has something to ask for, and it is inconvenient to say it in the letter, because he is tired of the eldest brother traveling thousands of miles with talent. "Brother Xiaochuan, what's wrong with you today? If you have something, just say it, what do our brothers ask for?" "That's right, big brother, I want to ask you to go down the mountain as an official. "Let me go down the mountain to be an official?" At first hearing this, Lei Zhentian was deeply stunned, and after a moment of thought, he immediately spoke, "No, no! The foolish brother is a rough man, and he is usually used to being slow, how can he stand such constraints. Besides, then again, you also know that the foolish brother has been a coward for many years, how can he still be an official in the court?" Lei Zhentian himself knew that he had already traveled a long way on this road, and of course he would have a lot of concerns.

"Xiaochuan knows that Brother Lei has always been free and easy, and it is really too wronged to let you go down the mountain as an official. Zhang Xiaochuan was afraid that Lei Zhentian would not agree, so he invited him to come to the gathering, and his words were very tactful. Now, not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, he was eager to seek talent, and Xiaochuan recommended Brother Lei to him. Guess what?" Zhang Xiaochuan said as he observed Lei Zhentian, a slightly uncertain look on his face. Lei Zhentian didn't know what kind of character the new emperor was, let alone how Zhang Xiaochuan recommended himself to him, and he was even more curious waiting for Zhang Xiaochuan to talk about it in detail.

"Since the little emperor learned from me that Brother Lei is a hero, he has been asking about Brother Lei's whereabouts, and if necessary, the little brother immediately invited Brother Lei here. It's also strange that the younger brother doesn't know the depths, so he boasted about Haikou in front of the emperor, and made a package ticket to the emperor, saying that he must invite Brother Lei to come. This favor, Brother Lei, you must help! Otherwise, it will be a great crime of bullying the king!" Zhang Xiaochuan deliberately said very exaggeratedly, and from time to time he squeezed his eyebrows at Zhou Ming to make his eyes color. Zhou Zhou Ming immediately understood, and immediately echoed and said, "That's it! This favor, I can't say it, Brother Lei will definitely help!"

"Brother Xiaochuan, your hard work is all good intentions, how can a foolish brother not know that you are so kind to your brother. Lei Zhentian was older than Zhang Xiaochuan, and he had been training in the rivers and lakes for a long time, how could he not notice his "thoughts". Zhang Xiaochuan heard Lei Zhentian say such a thing, and said with a slight smile to him, "The younger brother is also afraid that the eldest brother will worry too much and refuse to come to the appointment. ”

After hearing Zhang Xiaochuan's words, Lei Zhentian was grateful in his heart, and stood up to toast him. Where Zhang Xiaochuan is willing to follow, he is humble again. Seeing that the two of them were arguing, Zhou Ming was busy playing a round on the side. They had to sit down again, and at Zhou Ming's suggestion, the three of them worked together for three bowls in a row.

"Alas!" After drinking the wine and putting down the wine bowl, Lei Zhentian let out a long sigh, and I don't know how much resentment was stored in this sigh. "Why did Brother Lei sigh?" Zhang Xiaochuan and Zhou Zhou Ming didn't understand, so decent, why did Lei Zhentian sigh, and couldn't help but ask. "The eldest husband stands in the world, who doesn't want to fight for fame in the world, whether it is from literature or martial arts, who doesn't want to stand up to the sky and seek a future for his wife and son. "What Brother Lei said is very true, a good man is like this!" Lei Zhentian's words also inspired Zhang Xiaochuan and Zhou Ming's pride.

"At the beginning, Brother Xiaochuan insisted on leaving, how did I not know that you were tired of the life of the cottage. Zhang Xiaochuan and Zhou Zhou Ming listened to Lei Zhentian's words, poured wine, and drank a glass with Lei Zhentian. After drinking this bowl of wine, Lei Zhentian continued, "Foolish brother, why didn't you want to change your life. There is still an old mother in the hall in the foolish brother's house, and he can't be filial piety in front of the hall, and he often makes the old lady worry about me. Lei Zhentian said, his guilt was overflowing, and when he reached the emotional place, his eyes were already full of tears. Zhang Xiaochuan poured them full of wine in a timely manner, and Lei Zhentian picked up the bowl and dried it.

"Now, it is the time for the imperial court to employ people, why don't Brother Lei take this opportunity to make plans early, and fortunately he can still make some meritorious deeds. "However, the foolish brother has been in the grass for many years, how can he still be tolerated in the imperial court?" At this time, Lei Zhentian was obviously very moved, but there were still too many worries in his heart. "Brother Lei, although rest assured, this is definitely not a problem. Brother Zhou was still a thief and a thief back then, but now, he is not doing a good job. "Yes, Brother Lei, Brother Xiaochuan is right, look at me, aren't I also a member of the imperial court now?" After Zhou Zhou Ming finished speaking, the three of them laughed out loud with a conscious "hahaha".

When they stopped laughing, Lei Zhentian was still not at ease, and said to them hesitantly, "But, how can I compare with Brother Zhou, my reputation is much worse than his." "Brother Lei, what can this be? Don't forget, the relationship between the Xiaochuan brothers and the little emperor, the relationship between them, is extraordinary. Zhou Ming understood the beginning and end of the development of the relationship between Zhang Xiaochuan and Zhao Dechang, and said it with great confidence. Lei Zhentian saw Zhou Ming's expression, and his worries were eliminated a lot. When he looked at Zhang Xiaochuan, Zhang Xiaochuan's eyes were also full of confidence, and he nodded to Lei Zhentian as a sign of encouragement.

Lei Zhentian stood up and wanted to pour wine for the two of them, Zhang Xiaochuan and Zhou Zhou Ming were humble, but they were stopped by him fiercely. Zhang Xiaochuan and Zhou Zhou Ming were helpless, so they had to smile and watch him pour the wine full. After pouring the wine, Lei Zhentian picked up the bowl and said to them, "Come, two brothers, let's drink this wine to the full, and ask the two virtuous brothers to take care of them in the future." "Where did Brother Lei come from? In the future, our brothers will share blessings and difficulties!" "Brother Xiaochuan is right, our brothers work together, with our ability, maybe one day we will be able to pay homage to the marquis." Speaking of pride, the three of them couldn't help but laugh "hahaha", and after laughing, the three of them drank again.

The next day, Zhang Xiaochuan introduced Lei Zhentian to Zhao Dechang, seeing that Lei Zhentian was rough and heroic, and heard Zhang Xiaochuan say that he was excellent in martial arts, Zhao Dechang was very satisfied with him, and immediately appointed him as a partial general.

Emperor Zhenzong, who first ascended to the throne, was diligent in political affairs, had no distractions, and did a good job. With the assistance of Lu Duan and others, and the help of Zhang Xiaochuan and other brothers, the emperor's position is finally stable. Then he began to rectify the rule of officials, train the army, and let the people vigorously develop production, and the country was peaceful.
