Lu Zheng suddenly went crazy, Chen Zhiqian was completely stunned. Originally, he came with emotion, because he always felt that the Chen family was not treated fairly in Jiangnan. Lu Zheng obviously cared about the family and despised the Chen family, so he treated Chen. Not only did Chen Zhiqian fail to interfere with the discord between the family and the Gu family, but it was still faintly adding to the flames. His purpose was to pass this kind of dissatisfaction to Lu Zheng.
However, when Lu Zheng really changed his face, he knew that the matter was serious. Therefore, the authority in the hands of the Jiangnan Lu Family in this matter can be said to be enough to wipe out the Chen Family. The lessons of the Zhang family in Yangzhou haven’t been in the past few years. Chen Zhiqian still clearly remembers the situation in which the Zhang family was run over by Dai Gao like ants. What is the difference between the Chen family and the Zhang family back then?
In an instant Chen Zhiqian's arrogance went down, and said, "Master Lu, this is really wronging us! I, Chen Zhiqian, swear that I absolutely didn't have that intention. It's just that the Gu family has deceived people too much in the past few years. Our Chen family's children have been repeatedly suppressed, how many The young and energetic did not hold it back, and caused trouble.
Master Lu can rest assured that after I return, I will strictly investigate the matter and punish them severely at the same time. I will definitely give Master Lu a good explanation! "
Lu Zheng waved his hand and said, "I don't want to take care of your family's affairs. I came to you today to tell you that in my case, the Gu family and the Chen family are on the same level, absolutely impartial!"
Chen Zhiqian was taken aback for a moment, and quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, how can I not know Master Lu's mind?" Chen Zhiqian said this, but in his heart there were 10,000 grassy horses passing by.
But for anyone from Jiangnan, a fool can see that the Gu family and the Chen family are now one in the sky and the other on the ground, and the two are now at eleven levels? Gu Tiansheng is now the prime minister of the DPRK and a bachelor of the cabinet. Chen Zhiqian is just a small servant, can they be of the same rank?
For this huge difference, Chen Zhiqian can only hate that the Chen family can’t. The Gu family has Gu Zhilun, who has followed Lu Zheng for so many years, and has worked hard for Lu Zheng to grasp the financial rights. With Gu Zhilun, how can the Gu family not be taken seriously? Look at the Chen family again? During the years when Lu Zheng encountered difficulties, the Chen family avoided the Lu family when they saw it. They really avoided it. In the past of the Chen family, what kind of support do you expect Lu Zheng to give to the Chen family?
Chen Zhiqian regretted that he was too short-sighted as the head of the family, and he did not realize that Lu Zheng was a dragon. It's too late now, and the Chen family will be satisfied soon if they can keep the family mansion.
Seeing Chen Zhiqian's only promise, Lu Zheng pressed his hands and said: "Chen Shibo, sit down! I know that the Chen family has opinions on me, because the Gu family has benefited greatly. The Chen family has been walking on the edge of Jinling, the third largest family in Jiangnan now. Misnamed!
Yes, I know this very well in my heart, but in this era, we need to talk about merits and rewards for anything we do, and there are penalties. The Chen family has been too mediocre in the capital or in the south of the Yangtze River over the years. How can I reward without merit? How can I give the Chen family a chance? "
Chen Zhiqian smiled ashamed, and said: "Master Lu, you have a heartbreak with your words. With your words, if I have any complaints, Chen Zhiqian is really not a thing. Don't worry, Master Lu. My Chen family understands this. Work hard and strive for merit!"
Lu Zheng laughed loudly, and said, "Shi Bo, there is a great opportunity right now. Can Shi Bo help me?"
Chen Zhiqian was stunned, and Lu Zheng said: "Now your Majesty wants to let King Qi go down to the south to pacify the Lingnan Rebellion, but with Qi King's temperament he will inevitably only be perfunctory and even resist the decree! If King Qi resists the decree, his prestige will be affected With your majesty’s temper, you will definitely not be able to give up at this time. At that time, we will have more enemies in the south of the Yangtze River. This is a catastrophe!"
Chen Zhiqian said, "Master Lu, what do you mean..."
Lu Zheng said: "Uncle Shi encountered all kinds of injustices in Jiangnan. Everyone saw it, and Wang Qi also saw it! It just so happened that Shi Shi could use this opportunity to privately meet King Qi, pretending that the Chen family was willing to help King Qi with 20,000 private soldiers. Achieve great cause, and is willing to introduce the soldiers of the Qi king into the Jiangnan land.
Isn't King Qi going south this time? They will inevitably take the waterway. When the king of Qi turns around, he will use the southern conquest of Lingnan as a guise, and suddenly attack the southern army camp in Jiangnan. Once it succeeds, Jiangnan can be in his hands, and the Chen family can become the number one in Jiangnan. . Uncle, what do you think of my strategy? "
Chen Zhiqian was stunned and speechless, he was stunned! The strategy Lu Zheng said was tailor-made for the Chen family. If the Chen family can do this, then...then...can the Chen family become the number one in the south of the Yangtze River?
It's just that Lu Zheng said this. He must have been prepared. What Chen Zhiqian needs to do now is to make the fake show true, so that King Qi really covets Jiang Nansheng...
Lu Zheng said again: "Shi Bo, to go from Huainan Road to Lingnan, you must go to two states in Jiangnan. King Qi will definitely let Jiangnan give up at least one state to him. When I look back, I will immediately agree! The key is still It lies with Shi Bo. Only when Shi Bo plays well, will King Qi make mistakes. As long as he makes mistakes, we can win the battle and King Qi will return to Jiangnan!"
Chen Zhiqian let out a long sigh and started to pace the room with his hands on his back. It has to be said that Lu Zheng's plan is very superb, no less than the bitter plan of Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms. If this thing can be done, it will definitely boost the morale of Jiangnan. With this credit, the Chen family will surely be able to go further...
Lu Zheng said: "Chen Shibo, if this matter can be done, I recommend to your majesty to join the pavilion. In addition, the Chen family's nephews in the Jiangnan all enter official positions or join the army in accordance with the rules of the family. In addition, the business of Liuhe Wharf, the Chen family will also receive two reds in the future. Shi Bo, the time has come for the three of us to join forces.
The Chen family has been left out for so long, and the time has come for this chess piece to be dispatched. At this moment, Shi Bo still hesitates? "
Chen Zhiqian was shocked, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes: "Okay, I will do it right now, and it must be done!" Lu Zheng said: "Okay, in that case, I will send the two elders of the Chen family to prison first. The play is true, and the follow-up will see Chen Shibo's performance!"
Chen Zhiqian's Lu family's face was gloomy, and it was immediately reported that Chen Zhiqian and Lu Zheng had met with a pinpoint to the wheat mang. Lu Zheng immediately ordered the two key nephews of the Chen family in Jiangnan to be caught in prison. . Overnight, the wrestling between the Jiangnan big family had begun, and the Chen family was instantly caught in a precarious state.
With the current status and power of the Lu family, the Chen family's demand for the Lu family to carry is obviously not above the level. Obviously, the pressure of the Lu family on the Chen family is definitely more than this, and there will be pressure in the future...
...
Huainan Road, Hezhou Mansion, Qi Wang Long Zhaorui summoned all his counselors to discuss matters, because Qi Wang first arrived, Hezhou is a small place, so the temporary residence of the Wang Mansion is really small.
This is the hall of Hezhou Mansion on that day. King Qi is sitting in the first seat. The next few advisers Wanxin, Zhang Pinghua and others are present. The imperial decree of Emperor Xin De has been suppressed for three days, and everyone has been arguing for three days. King Qi is now Still hesitant.
But today there was a sudden turn for the better, because someone from the Chen family in Jiangnan was here, and this guest was sitting next to King Qi, looking at his appearance at about 40 years, Long Zhaorui said:
"Everyone, this Mr. Chen is Chen Zhiwen, the younger brother of Chen Zhiqian, the patriarch of the Chen family in Jiangnan. He came here today to throw his troops into Hezhou. What do you think?"
Chen Zhiwen looked around and said, "Chen Zhiwen has seen you all! The situation in Jiangnan now, the Chen family is lonely, the Lu family and the Gu family are strong, and now we are unable to survive in Jiangnan. My Chen family currently has 20,000 private individuals. Soldier, if the prince and the princes do not abandon, my Chen family is willing to vote for the whole family!"
When Chen Zhiwen said this, the audience was in an uproar. Everyone looked at each other. Chen Zhiwen paused and said: "Originally, the head of the Patriarch meant that we were the capital of Beitou, but the capital was occupied by the Gu family and Gu Zhilun. Our Chen family passed. It will inevitably suffer blows and even persecution! With nowhere to go, I just hope that His Royal Highness Qi can raise up his hands and give us a way to survive!"
Long Zhaorui said: "Everyone, Chen Zhiqian, the head of the Chen family, and this king have old times. Now that the Chen family is in crisis, this king can't bear it. Please express your opinions!"
The counselor Wanxin stood up and said, "I think this is absolutely wrong. Your Highness is in a delicate situation. If you offend the Jiangnan Lu Family because of the Chen family, I'm afraid that Lu Zheng will be hated by Lu Zheng. I'm afraid I will wait on Huainan Road. It's hard to be stable!"
Before Wanxin finished speaking, Zhang Pinghua sneered: "Brother Wan is joking! Now we have received your majesty’s decree. If we dare to resist the decree and fail to comply with Jiangnan’s relationship, we can’t maintain it. In this case, we Isn’t it a great thing to have more than 20,000 elite soldiers?"
Zhang Pinghua said that Wanxin was speechless. He paused, and then said: "His Royal Highness, the minister has a plan to help His Highness take the land of Jiangnan!"
Long Zhaorui was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly said: "Oh? What good strategy does Mr. Zhang have? Please teach me quickly!"
Zhang Pinghua laughed and said: "Now that we have received the imperial decree, we can immediately send troops in accordance with the decree. However, if we want to go to Lingnan, we must borrow from the south of the Yangtze River. This time, we will borrow from the south of the Yangtze River to drive the wolf and swallow the tiger. As long as his strength is used properly, he will surely be able to win with one blow, and Jiangnan will be able to fully enter the hands of His Royal Highness!"
Long Zhaorui twisted his brows, and another counselor stood up and said, "Mr. Zhang, Lu Zheng is a man who knows soldiers. Since he dared to lend to us, he must take precautions. Jiangnan is rich, and Lu Zheng has been training soldiers again. It’s said that the newly-trained Nanfu Army has 100,000 people. If our two sides make a decisive battle on Huainan Road, Your Highness will still be able to fight. But in Jiangnan, it will be difficult to win without taking advantage of the geographical advantage?"
Zhang Pinghua snorted softly: "But we have the advantage of human harmony. If the Chen family's 20,000 soldiers and horses can turn around, we should unite internally and externally. Lu Zheng will have to throw away his helmet and abandon his armor even if it is the **** of heaven. , Looking back, we took the Jinling in one go, and His Royal Highness occupied the emperor's capital, and from then on, he has occupied the most advantageous position!"
As soon as Zhang Pinghua said this, the audience shook, and the thunder was shocked to the ground. Everyone was stunned by his thoughts. I have to say that Zhang Pinghua's idea is too unbelievable, but it is too tempting. If this plan can be achieved, it can simply turn things around!
King Qi is now defeated from Shandong and his morale is declining. King Qi himself has been hit, and he is quite confused about his future. Now King Qi lives on Huainan Road and only owns two states, with Jiangnan to the south, and there is no room for expansion at all. Such a situation is definitely not a long-term solution.
If the king of Qi can take the Jiangnan with a plan, from then on, the king of Qi's hegemony can be established. The king of Qi can first let the Emperor Xinde make him the prince, and then he will be the prince, and then he will be a prince.
The fertility of Jiangnan is a good place to raise soldiers. King Qi relied on the fertility of Jiangnan to conquer the Quartet, and after the chaos in the north was settled, then let Emperor Xin De give way to him. Wouldn't it be possible to rebuild Dakang?
"The prince, Mr. Zhang's plan is feasible. This is the words of the old minister for seeking the country. I hope that the prince will adopt it!" Someone immediately agreed, and there were many people who responded.
Wanxin frowned, and after a long time, he said: "Brother Zhang does this for fear that the 20,000 private soldiers of the Chen family will not succeed!"
Zhang Pinghua said: "The Chen family’s 20,000 private soldiers were formed by Lu Zheng’s call to the three families. The Gu family also has 20,000 private soldiers. If the Chen family’s private soldiers are not available, the entire Nanfu army will be vulnerable. ?"
King Qi suddenly stood up and looked at Chen Zhiwen and said, "Mr. Chen, you have heard what you said, can the Chen family do this? If the Chen family can do this, I will make the head of the Chen family a king of another surname!"
Chen Zhiwen suddenly said: "His Majesty, my Chen family is now desperate. Anyway, it's a death. As long as Your Highness lives, I won't regret it!
In any case, our Chen family cannot follow in the footsteps of the Zhang family in Yangzhou, so sorry for our ancestors and ancestors! "
King Qi said: "Okay! In this case, this king will take the order to the south! Come, 800 miles to expedite Jinling, this king intends to fold the son to his father, the Lingnan Bai clan will be the king privately, and the book will be forgotten. Rui is willing to lead the army to the south!"
After Long Zhaorui finished speaking, he paused and said, "Also, send a message to Lu Zheng, ask him to give me the land of the two states, let our army cross the big river south and borrow Jiangnan!"
Long Zhaorui's momentum soared in an instant. At this moment, he felt that his blood was boiling. This was a rare opportunity for him!
For so many years, Long Zhaorui has been patient and waiting. Among the few princes of Emperor Xinde's adulthood, he is the least favored by others, and he is the weakest existence in the court.
He is the only one who knows the hardships he has experienced and the setbacks he has suffered. He has great ambitions, but he has to pretend to be undesirable. He has a lot of things to do, but he has to control himself. Desire. He has had enough all these years.
"Everyone, what is going on in the south of the Yangtze River at the moment is a major matter of our wealth and life. If this matter is leaked, I am afraid that we will all die without a place to bury! Therefore, Zhao Rui begs you gentlemen to keep your mouth shut. Feng Hou Baixiang is nothing to say!
Let us work together to build our ancestral foundation! "Long Zhaorui became extremely emotional...
