Lu Zheng entered Beijing, and His Royal Highness King Qin led officials from the Ministry of ceremonies, and the officials from Hongyu Temple went to greet them outside the city. The battle was very big.
A prince personally went out of the city to meet an envoy from the fourth rank. This is extremely rare in the history of the Dakang Dynasty. This shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to Lu Zheng, and it also shows that the Emperor Xin De made an envoy to Lu Zheng this time. Bei Yan was very satisfied.
King Qin was very enthusiastic. Lu Zheng bowed to him. He stepped forward and grabbed Lu Zheng's hand and said, "Master Lu, I really hope that the stars and the moon will finally bring you back!
Both the father and the king know that you have suffered in Beiyan. In the barren land of Beiyan, the life is hard, and you have encountered so many things, hey, it is not easy! Fortunately, everything is unpredictable. Now that you come back safely, just come back. Everyone is looking forward to it! "
Lu Zheng said: "His Royal Highness is too polite. This time I went to Beiyan for the blessing of Your Majesty and the prince. Not only did I not suffer a loss, but I also got some benefits! More importantly, I reached a consensus with Beiyan's Xianghou. Our two countries If there is no war on the border, the North will no longer have to worry that the Yan people will go south to grab food!"
Lu Zheng and King Qin greeted each other. All the officials of the Hongyou Temple and the Ministry of Rites came together. The Shangshu Zhong Wanxiang of the Ministry of Rites smiled like a Maitreya Buddha. He leaned in front of Lu Zheng and said:
"Master Lu, today this lord feels light on his face. When you go to Beiyan, everyone in the capital is worried about you. Not only your majesty and your majesty, but even ordinary people are looking forward to your return!
No, look at the people over there. The streets have been completely enclosed. Today's capital is really empty for thousands of people! "
Zhong Wanxiang is a well-known good gentleman. He is called Zhong Ambiguous. He doesn't have his own position in anything. He likes to be muddled! However, he had a deep research on Li. Another point was that his good temper was able to have an appetite for Emperor Xinde everywhere, so his official ranks were getting bigger and bigger.
Lu Zheng’s Yuefeng is Dai Gao, so his familiarity with Manchu officials is incomparable to ordinary people! Most of the officials I saw were higher than him in the past, but now, no one of these people is not polite to him, far from being the same, showing reservedness and disdain in front of him.
Although Lu Zheng had a great reputation in Beijing before, he always felt that he was young and young. How high can he be even if he is talented? At a young age, what about the fourth grade of the official rank with the trust of your majesty? I don't have much ability to make people look up to it?
But this time when Lu Zheng went to Beiyan as an envoy, everyone knew the dangers and twists and turns he experienced. Especially when the two forces of Beiyan were seizing power, Lu Zheng was able to retreat in such a dangerous environment, and returned in triumph. This is definitely not something that can be done by luck alone. Lu Zheng's ability is really amazing. Too!
Therefore, no one dares to treat Lu Zheng as an ordinary young man anymore. Such a young man made His Highness King Qin so generous to him, and let Master Shang Shu be so polite and respectful to him, could he be an ordinary person?
Lu Zheng got on the sedan chair, surrounded by the crowd, under the guard of honor, in the vast capital city, except for Lu Zheng, the other members of the mission were all red, as if it were a holiday.
Especially Su Zhi, as a military attache, he rode a tall horse and immediately tied a big red flower. He looked like he was an official of the groom. He shook his head and waved his hands at the crowd from time to time. Up!
In the crowd, Dai Xiaojing and Ying'er were also looking far away. Under the protection of the maids, they covered their eyes with their hands. They only saw the honor guard of Haohao Tangtang. Ying'er said: "Look at this battle, It's bigger than the last time the prince went on tour, where can I see people!"
Xiaojing said: "Oh, sister Ying'er, don't talk nonsense. You can't compare with the prince. Hehe, but you can compare with my dad. My dad has been the prime minister for so many years. Such a big battle!"
He groaned a little, and said, "My father is the people who hate him, so wherever my father goes, the people will retreat. But look at your husband, the people in the capital have all gathered around to watch the excitement. This is a little bit. It is estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of people. Today, the streets are more crowded and lively than the Shanghai Spring Festival!"
After Xiao Jing finished speaking, she jumped from a high place and said, "Go, go. It's better to go back if you can't see anything! Sister Ying'er, I said that after Xiang Gong entered the city, he didn't have time to pay attention to us. He had to go ahead. Gong, your Majesty will also host a banquet for him and give him a reward. He will go home after all this is done!"
Ying'er blinked and said: "A reward? What reward? Do you think he will earn a life for your wife? Hehe..."
Xiaojing blushed and said, "It's about the same as yours, how can you pull it on me!" Although Xiaojing said that, she felt sweet in her heart. She felt that in the future she would have to kill her. !
She went back to visit Dai Gao yesterday. According to Dai Gao, Lu Zheng is now extraordinary. After this mission, she has established a very high prestige in the Manchu dynasty civil and military. With such prestige, he even It can break the shackles of age, so that everyone will no longer regard him as a young man who has just passed the weak crown, which means that from now on, Lu Zheng can be prosperous.
Dai Gao's judgment undoubtedly represented the judgment of everyone in the capital, so Lu Zheng had such a grand occasion when he returned to Beijing.
At this moment, the Lu family had already turned into a pot of porridge. The Lu family's grandfather personally checked it out, and Lu Qian and other elders could only work silently.
From top to bottom, everyone is preparing for one thing, and that is to welcome Lu Zheng home! It is not an exaggeration to say that the current Lu Family is completely dependent on Lu Zheng.
Because of Lu Zheng's return, the declining Jiangnan nobles seemed to turn over overnight. It is conceivable that it will not take long for the Lu family to rise. At that time, when others mention the rich family in the south of the Yangtze River, no one will talk about the Gu family and the Chen family anymore. Only the Lu family will be remembered.
This is the huge impact on the entire family after a family has talents. Such an impact can last for more than one generation, and can even last for hundreds of years. Undoubtedly, for the Lu family, Lu Zheng has only emerged as a top genius in more than one hundred years. This is the pride of the Lu family and also represents the hope and future of the Lu family!
For this reason, it goes without saying that Dai Xiaojing and Ying'er are in the Lu family. Now Dai Xiaojing is the steward. In fact, the real power is in Ying'er's hands. The three elder wives of the back house have to do everything. Watching Yinger's face acted.
Of course, Ying'er is not a mean person, nor will he be true to the three ladies, but the rules have been set, so they cannot be changed. Besides, the rules are for the people! The people of the Lu family now know who their master is, and they don’t dare to regard Ying'er as a loophole, regardless of the size of the matter!
...
Xiyuan has a new look. In Lu Zheng's memory, he has been here twice, and every time he comes here, he feels that the place is misty and the smell of medicine is up to the sky.
But this time, I feel that the magnolias are repairing bamboo, the pavilions, and the pavilions are particularly coordinated and elegant. Emperor Xin De lived and governed in Xiyuan. Lu Zheng used to see him wearing a Taoist robe, but today Emperor Xin De is dressed in red. The dragon-rolling robe at the bottom, with a crown on his head, boots on his feet, and a jade belt on his waist, is majestic and imperial.
Lu Zheng walked in the forefront, Su Zhi followed behind, and the two entered the hall one after the other, and then knelt down on the ground at the same time: "Weichen Lu Zheng, see your Majesty!"
Emperor Xinde stood up suddenly, acting a bit exaggerated, and said: "Okay, very good! Lu Zheng, you are finally back, haha, I said you are extraordinary, you are a person who can do great things, and you really did not live up to it. My expectations of you!"
Emperor Xinde was refreshed and in a very good mood. He waved his hand and said:
"This time your mission was a great success, and you have brought me ten years of well-being on the border of Dakang. I want to reward you and reward you again!"
"Come here, decree! The deputy envoy of the General Political Department, the city defense battalion guards Lu Zheng, is diligent, loyal, filial, and works hard. I specially appointed him as the minister of war, and gave him the third grade of Lu Zheng's inner son..."
"Boom!" There were not many people in Xiyuan, but the officials were shocked when they heard the will of Emperor Xin De. Lu Zheng would definitely be promoted when he came back, but no one thought that he would immediately be promoted to the rank of Minister of War.
A servant in his twenties, from a third-rank official, has already been promoted to two consecutive ranks. Moreover, the Ministry of War is of great importance and is related to the safety of the country. Generally speaking, it is not a veteran of a hundred battles, and a heavy person. This Once a young Lu Zheng was placed in this position, it was too unexpected.
After Lu Zheng was sealed off, the next thing was rewards. What kind of gold, cloth, this kind of things, anyway, to Lu Zheng, he was a rich person, and he didn't care about these rewards.
Then Su Zhi also received a great reward. Emperor Xin De directly named Su Zhi as General Zuo Jinwuwei, Dakang Sixteen Guards, Jinwuwei accounted for one of them, and was an important army guarding the capital!
As General Zuo, Su Zhi controls the real power of this army. It has to be said that for the military attache, Su Zhi has already received a great reward!
Except for the two, all the other members of the mission were rewarded, and even the guards who followed were rewarded one by one. The most ordinary soldier knew that he had won a Nine-Rank Zhiji Lang and became a veritable one. Dakang official!
After the reward, it was a banquet. Emperor Xinde gave a banquet to Lu Zheng and the delegation. The accompanying persons were His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, His Highness, and the Ministers of the Cabinet, the Six Shangshu, Dali Temple, The procuratorate and other bigwigs.
The Xiyuan of the imperial palace was so lively that night, almost all the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty gathered together, and the emperor Xin De was also very interested. He rarely raised a toast to the ministers, but even toasted a few glasses. When he came out, his mood was really good...
