Lu Zheng's suggestion is straightforward, and the naked one is to drive away wolves.
For Song Wensong, there are so many counties around, it is impossible for him to fight his family. Even if he and his two brothers are mortal enemies, is it possible that he can send troops to attack his two brothers for no reason?
But he can’t. He Kuo Tai can. Song Wensong can borrow He Kuo Tai's hands. However, He Kuo Tai will maimed the surrounding counties first. The two sides have a secret agreement that as long as He Kuo Tai does not slaughter the city or kill the people indiscriminately , Keeping He Kuo Tai returned with a full load.
In this way, the situation that Hekuo is too hard to get under is reversed, and Song Wensong can also take the opportunity to expand the territory. Everyone is happy, needless to say, such peace talks will surely succeed.
Song Wensong was stunned to speak, and several of his counselors were even flushed. They looked at Lu Zheng together. Lu Zheng summed up his words: "There are no eternal friends, only eternal benefits... These words are too much. Thorough, it can be said that all the masks of hypocrisy have been torn through."
Song Wensong was both convinced and ashamed of Lu Zheng. He and Lu Zheng worshiped brothers. To him, why not for profit? What is the use of Lu Zheng everywhere, is it not profit?
He reported all of Lu Zheng’s credit to the court in the papers he gave to the court, and that was also for the benefit. In order to win over, Lu Zheng lightly downplayed it and revealed it all in one sentence. He told Ming Spiegel about this in his heart. It's like, just don't reveal it!
"Lu Zheng, this person has this ability when he is younger than a weak crown, how can his future be limited in time? I am really ashamed..."
...
In the capital, the dusk fell, and Fayuan Temple was shrouded in dusk, looking very gloomy and silent.
There was a raging fire in the incense burner outside the Daxiong Hall. In front of the Bodhisattva, a young woman bent over and knelt on the futon, kowtowing extremely religiously.
She had a word in her mouth, and her expression was pious and serious. Outside the temple, a few old mothers followed, and there were also a few strong and mighty guards around. Even in the capital, there were not many women with such status.
When the woman burned incense and prayed for blessings, the sky became darker. When she stood up and walked out of the Daxiong Hall, the sky was completely dark. Many guards guarded her out of the temple. The gorgeous sedan chair at the door had been waiting for a long time.
The pretty maid came up and asked with great concern: "Miss, your body is important!" The girl nodded gently. She did not go to the sedan chair, but stood on the side of the sedan chair and looked back again, looking at the Fayuan Temple. Shanmen didn't want to leave for a long time.
"Miss, miss!" Suddenly someone yelled hurriedly, the sound of horses hoofs in the distance, a young man with the appearance of a guard rode a horse quickly, he rode the horse to the front, one turned over and rolled off the horse, and walked straight to the girl. , Kneeling on the ground, before he could speak, the maid on the side shouted:
"You, a dog slave, are so courageous. You dare to be so rude. Seeing your irritability, what's the matter?"
"The northwest side, the northwest..." The guard was very nervous and stammered. When the girl heard the word northwest, her face instantly turned pale, and everyone became nervous. His face changed drastically, and he dared not make a sound.
The girl took a deep breath and couldn't help but lower her head and weep, her face turned pale, the guard said:
"Miss, don't worry, the slave... the slave is here... here to announce the good news... the butler... the butler said that the son of Xibeilu had a great victory, and the tribute has been sent to the capital, and everyone in the city knows it!"
"Ah..." The girl was stunned, her eyes widened, and the **** the side said: "Amitabha, Miss, you pray for blessings every day, and finally you have an eye for God, Lu Gongzi is a good man and he has done a good job!"
The girl blushed, lifted the sedan curtain and got in, lifted the sedan chair, and ran back to Dai Xiang's Mansion. When I arrived at Dai Xiang's mansion, the whole mansion was discussing the matter, which was very subtle.
Everyone in the house knows that the master dislikes Lu Zheng and treats Lu Zheng as an enemy, but the master also knows that the young lady has a soft spot for Lu Zheng. Since the news from the northwest, the young lady hasn’t said anything. , But every day I went to Fayuan Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. I went out early and returned late every day. Looking at her thin body, the minions felt distressed when they looked at her!
No, there was good news from the northwest. Lu Zheng led thousands of soldiers to guard the county prince, and the great Turkic Khan was defeated. This news spread to the capital, and the capital was bombed. Up.
Regardless of Lu Zheng's identity, the mere fact that this incident is placed on anyone is definitely a big news that shocked the capital.
The Turkic Khan was led by tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers besieged a small county town for a long time and couldn't attack it for a long time. In the end, they fell into the trap and suffered a big loss.
You know that Song Naifeng's 100,000 troops in the northwest can only be worthy of a tie with the Turks. Lu Zheng actually relied on thousands of troops to resist the siege of the Turks?
Unbelievable, unbelievable, but this incident was recorded in the account given to the court by the frontier general below. How could such things be false? If it is false, it is the crime of deceiving the king!
If this matter is true, Lu Zheng is really a genius, a great genius, such a genius has never been seen in the Dakang Dynasty in recent years...
Dai Gao went back to the house, he didn't say a word along the way, his face was gloomy, and no one dared to get rid of the bad luck.
When the emperor met him in Xiyuan, Emperor Xin De was uncharacteristically and in a good mood. He ridiculed Dai Gao. It was nothing more than saying that Dai Gaotang’s identity as prime minister was unable to get along with a small Xieyuan, and he did not steal the rice. I thought it would be difficult for Lu Zheng to survive in the northwest.
Now that he is well, Lu Zheng has only been a small county for a few months, and he has made merits. King Jingxi from the northwest personally wrote to him to promote him. Lu Zheng went to Yumu County to serve as the county magistrate. This was also a secret arrangement made by Dai Gao, thinking that Lu Zheng would inevitably be able to beat dogs with meat buns when he went to the border.
As a result, as a county official, Lu Zheng led thousands of soldiers, and he literally defended the siege of tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Turkic Khan, and won a complete victory, so that Song Wensong and Song Naifeng, the general of the northwest, both admired the five-body throwing of the father and son. Almost all asked Lu Zheng for credit.
Lu Zheng's contribution was so great that Dai Gao's face was slapped, and people outside did not dare to slap the prime minister in the face, but as the emperor, Emperor Xin De had no such scruples.
And Dai Gao didn't dare to get angry in front of the emperor. No matter how uncomfortable he was, he could only pretend to be grandson. But when he was out of Xiyuan, he was the king of heaven and I was unhappy, so naturally he had to find a place to vent.
Back at the mansion, none of the other servants dared to approach the study. Song Fuer could only do this chore. Dai Gao was so angry that he didn't understand how Lu Zheng could get the emperor to go. Care about him?
He thought carefully, there are nothing more than two ways. One way is that the **** has problems, the other is that the emperor is obsessed with alchemy and immortality, and the Taoist priest has problems, but Xu Tiandao and Dai Gao have been staring at him, and he has not been seen. What friendship do you have with the Lu family?
"I've seen a ghost. A little **** has turned into a world-shaking situation. The northwest victory, such a big war, was done by a small county official led by thousands of foot soldiers? Some people believe that such absurd memorials are absurd. It's ridiculous!" Dai Gao said angrily.
Song Fu'er said with a bitter face on the side, "Master, great victory in the northwest, General Song is not greedy for merit, even General Song is not greedy for work, the credit is counted on Master Lu Zheng, I have to admit that Master Lu means Superb, the minion can be regarded as a somewhat knowledgeable person, but such a means is the only one in his life!"
He paused and said, "Master, my military merit in the Dakang Dynasty is the number one merit, and Lu Zheng has military merit in him, and I am afraid he will be promoted again soon.
A Xie Yuan became an official, only a few months at the seventh-rank official rank, and then climbed to the sixth-rank official, and after only a few months at the sixth-rank official, he was promoted again.
Tsk, tusk, the speed of this promotion is comparable to that...too fast, the whole Dakang Dynasty is still spreading rumors that it is the master that you suppressed him and killed him!
The master used the honor of the prime minister to suppress such a young scholar. He could be promoted so quickly. If you don't suppress it, will he be prime minister now?
The rumors are so harmful, they are really absurd, sir, you must not listen to those rumors! "
Dai Gao suddenly turned his head and stared at Song Fu'er, his eyes were as sharp as a knife. After a long time, his spirit gradually disappeared, and said, "How about Miss?"
Song Fu'er said: "The young lady went to Fayuan Temple to pray for blessings. After going there all day, the minion was a little late to receive the news, and it was a little late for people to report to the young lady.
However, the lady looked better after returning home. I heard from the woman in the courtyard that she had a big bowl of black-bone chicken soup, two small bowls of rice and two small pieces of donkey meat for dinner! Before that, the young lady only drank some millet porridge every day, but she was worried about the girl who was serving as a servant in the house! "
Dai Gao snorted coldly, and said, "I'm not in the female college! Humph!"
Dai Gao snorted coldly and sat down on the chair. He stretched out his neck and sighed: "I am old and useless. There are so many annoying things, and my bones are stiff when I am tired. Go, let Xi'er come in. Rub it for me, go..."
Song Fu'er was slightly stunned, and she pinched Nuonuo's words: "Then...the slave went..."
Dai Gao grabbed a piece of paperweight on the table and threw it at Song Fu'er, "Old stuff, let you go, and why do you cringe? I can't die even if I get older for a while, get out!"
Song Fu'er didn't dare to stay anymore, turned around to go out, but couldn't walk at the door.
Dai Xiaojing stood at the door and smiled softly: "Uncle Song, go down, Daddy is weak, I'm waiting for you! Go!"
Dai Gao lay on the chair. When he heard the girl's voice, he sat up suddenly, Dai Xiaojing smiled like a flower, and walked into the house lightly: "Daddy, I look at the courtyard and people dare not come to you, what's the matter? Who is irritating you again? Tell me, I will help you find a way to fix the things that don't have long eyes?"
Dai Gao's expression was extremely complicated, and his heart was like an overturned five-flavored bottle for a while. That taste is beyond words...
