Chapter 235 Lobbyist!
Things in Biyun Pavilion are constantly fermenting, and Lu Zheng's reputation in Jinling is becoming more and more popular.
His two lyrics "Linjiangxian" and "Qingyu Case" have now become the hottest lyrics in the Qinhuai River, and the possible story between Lu Zheng and Biyunge, the top courtesan of Jinling, Fan Duoduo, has become the focus of hot discussion.
Before the Biyun Poetry Conference, the people of Jinling had never heard of the name Lu Zheng. It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Zheng became popular overnight.
Because of the attention of many people, Lu Zheng's origin, origin and other matters gradually became talked about. Lu Zheng was born as a concubine of the Lu family. He was not tolerated by his legitimate mother since childhood, and almost died by his legitimate mother countless times.
He was sent to Yangzhou a few years ago and participated in the Boy Examination, Lianzhong County Examination, the Prefectural Examination, and the Academy Examination. He won the fame of a scholar with a score of three yuan.
More than a month ago, Lu Zheng returned to Jinling, but did not live in the Lu family in Jiangning. Instead, he lived in Liuhe County, Yingtian, and accepted Nie Yong as his teacher and received guidance from his teacher.
Lu Zheng's experience was revealed within a few days. His experience was legendary and had a story, which was very sympathetic. Lu Zheng's reputation was even more promoted.
There is another saying that on the day of the Biyun Poetry Meeting, Lu Zheng and Li Mu were both beside Fan Duoduo. The two men competed for a woman. Lu Zheng and Li Mu had a fierce literary battle, but Li Mu suffered a crushing defeat. After Lu Zheng wrote a poem, Li Mu did not dare to take the pen and said goodbye in shame.
After the Biyun Poetry Meeting, Li Mu immediately closed the door and thanked the guest, which seemed to confirm this statement. Almost everyone was very interested in this topic, because it meant that the position of the number one talented man in Jinling might have changed hands.
Another more important point is that Fan Duoduo, the number one courtesan in Jinling, has always been very detached. Now, Lu Zheng's appearance seems to finally make Fan Duoduo fall in love with him. Many years later, such things will still be a good story in Jinling.
...
Liuhe County, Biyun Tower, this restaurant is only one word different from Biyun Pavilion. This is a little bit like this to know that there must be a shadow of the Gu family behind Biyun Tower.
Nie Yong treats guests here today, and Lu Zheng is accompanying him, while Nie Yong is going to invite the guest Cheng Hu, the general of the Cavalry Battalion of the Southern Prefecture Army. Liuhe has been very lively recently, mainly because of the Biyun Poetry Conference. Talents from Jinling gather together, and Lu Zheng's doorstep was surrounded.
He became famous too quickly, and Lu Zheng was really caught off guard. In recent days, he simply lived in the county government office to avoid the edge. Today's banquet for Cheng Hu was another key step for Lu Zheng to plan for Nie Yong.
According to Lu Zheng's plan, the fifth battalion of the Southern Prefecture Army of Liuhe would change its garrison and station one of the battalions on the front line along the river.
In this regard, Lu Zheng did not hide his intentions. In this way, he found a breakthrough for Nie Yong to control Liuhe County, and also facilitated Zhan Tianqi to divide the Nanfu army and govern it.
However, this matter is very simple. From the deputy general to the gang generals below, they are all old people. Nie Yong and Zhan Tianqi arranged for them to go down the mountain. Will they be willing to do so?
In order to achieve his goal, Nie Yong had privately used Zhan Tianqi's military order to meet several generals, but he was silent. The great situation of Lu Zheng's planning was already covered with shadow because of this reason. If it could not be resolved, all the arrangements Lu Zheng had made before would be in vain.
Cheng Hu, a cavalry battalion of the Southern Prefecture Army, is a typical northerner. The thousands of cavalry under him were transferred from the Ji Liao area and are the veritable Dakang Tiger Cavalry. As the leader of such an army, Cheng Hu had a beard, a black face, and a leopard head and a round eyes. At first glance, he looked like Zhang Fei.
At the banquet, after the guests and guests were seated, Cheng Hu stared at Nie Yong narrowly, looked at Lu Zheng again, smiled and said:
"Scholars are the most tricky. I, Lao Cheng, are a rough man. Don't use your genius on me, Lao Cheng. If I really suffer a loss, hehe, Lao Cheng will turn against him and refuse to accept others, it will be a life-threatening person!"
After Cheng Hu said this, Nie Yong couldn't help but complain secretly. He had failed several times before, but this time he really had no confidence, so he turned his attention to Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng lowered his head and pretended not to see it. Cheng Hu slapped the table and said, "You guy, stop pretending! The reason why Old Cheng went down the mountain to the banquet today was clearly for you! Hehe, the girls in Qinhuai River love to be pretty and look down on us big guys. Today I see that you are just like this, I don't know what those women have liked you. Hehe, Old Cheng is so unwilling to accept it!"
Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "General Cheng, you led 5,000 Tiger Ben to fight Beiyan in Jiliao and the third formation broke the enemy camp. That was a hero for a lifetime. Unfortunately, General Cheng has come to this fireworks place in Jiangnan. There is a saying that the gentleness and heroic tombs are the hearts of a brothel girl. I wonder if the five,000 Tiger Ben can still fight?"
Cheng Hu was stunned for a moment, stared at Lu Zheng with wide eyes, and said, "You kid, do you know what Cheng's achievements back then? I have trained the five thousand tigers under my seat. As long as the emperor issued an order, do you believe it or not, I can immediately take them north and kill Ji Liao within two days, killing those beasts of Northern Yan to pieces of armor!"
Lu Zheng sneered and said, "General Cheng, are you really not afraid of your tongue? I, a weak talented man in Jiangnan, still have doubts about whether the cavalry battalion of the Southern Prefecture Army can stand again, let alone the court, let alone the emperor?"
Lu Zheng paused and said, "Weapons are major issues for the country. In recent years, wars in Ji and Liao areas have been ongoing. In order to deal with Beiyan, the court has transferred all the troops and horses in the world. Last year, it was the general of Ji and Liao in Sanyi. Why is there such a big noise? Cheng Hu is not the case with you? The general is sometimes like a beauty, and the beauty is beautiful and beautiful, and the general is the same. General Cheng Hu, just like you are now, hehe, just wait for the old Jiangnan for the rest of your life!"
Cheng Hu slapped the table, stood up suddenly and said, "You...you...far! I...I...you...you...you...some, give me this kid..."
"Okay, General Cheng, this is under the jurisdiction of Liuhe County. What laws and regulations should General Cheng take to me? Do you really think that if you have five thousand iron cavalry in your hand, you can do whatever you want in Jiangnan and hold your own troops?"
Cheng Hu was stunned for a moment, his hand shook, and the chopsticks fell to the ground. As the saying goes, experts can tell if there is anything. Cheng Hu and Lu Zheng only said a few words, and he was in an absolutely passive position, and he was so angry that he couldn't vent it. Moreover, what Lu Zheng said made sense.
What is the difference between a general's failure to fight on the battlefield and a dry bone in the tomb? Cheng Hu has been transferred from the north to Jiangnan for three years. For him, every three years has been like years. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Lu Zheng's words were in his heart and made him suffer.
When Nie Yong saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh inexplicably. He didn't expect that Lu Zheng knew Cheng Hu so deeply, and took the initiative after chatting for a few words. Lu Zheng's keen wit Nie Yong felt inferior to him.
However, when things came to this point, Nie Yong did not understand Lu Zheng's intentions? He immediately said, "General Cheng looked down on scholars, but the world is governed by scholars.
The general is dedicated to the country and is not afraid of horses and corpses. Such a loyal and brave man is rare in the world. However, it is difficult for the general to realize his ambitions. Lu Jiazheng'er, the number one talented man in Jinling, today you have such an opportunity, so why don't you ask more questions? "
Cheng Hu let out a long sigh, clasped his fists and said to Lu Zheng: "Young Master Lu, Cheng Hu was reckless and offended! Since Mr. Lu understands Cheng Hu's current difficulties, he must have had a plan long ago. Cheng Hu begs to give him advice."
Lu Zheng stared at Cheng Hu, smiled coldly, and said, "General Cheng, if you want to realize your ambitions, you must first understand what kind of army the Nanfu Army is!
The late emperor suppressed the Jiangnan Quanjia, took over the private troops of the Jiangnan Quanjia, and brought the Nanfu Army to Dakang, dismantled the fifth battalion of the Nanfu Army, and then transferred troops from all over the country to form a new Nanfu Army.
Just like General Cheng, he was originally from the northern family, but now he has become a member of the Nangong Army of Jiangnan. The existence of the Nangong Army is mainly to stabilize Jiangnan and guard the Dakang granary.
The most important thing is to deter the Jiangnan powers, so that the Jiangnan powers will not dare to rebel. Therefore, General Cheng, the burden on your shoulders is actually very heavy, and the road is long!"
Cheng Hu sneered and said, "It's a long way to go. The Jiangnan Powerful Families have long been dead in name only. Now the Gu family can encourage and support one or two. Just with the current Jiangnan Powerful Families, how dare they rebel?"
Lu Zheng clapped his hands and said, "That's right! General Cheng is as clear as the situation, but the emperor is in the capital and lives in the temple. How could he understand and master the various powers of Jiangnan like a general?
General, if you can trust me, I can help you and ensure that you will be able to escape the shackles of the Southern Prefecture Army within two years. Your 5,000 tigers will have the chance to return to the north, and you will also have the chance to gallop on the battlefield again. How about it?"
Lu Zheng said this passionately, with a flash of light in Cheng Hu's eyes and his mood was extremely uneasy. Cheng Hu looked like a rough man on the surface, but in fact he was very delicate and keen.
He knew this banquet for Nie Yong, and probably knew what was going on before he came. In his opinion, unless the sun came out from the west, he would not be able to follow Nie Yong's mercy and let the Nanfu army go down the mountain. Wouldn't he have to let the Nanfu army destroy its martial arts?
The Nanfu Army is the army of the court and the emperor. Once divided and ruled, it is very likely that the Nanfu Army will become the private soldiers of the ministers. For example, this time Zhan Tianqi served as the commander-in-chief of the Nanfu Army. Everyone in the world knows that this person is the prince's confidant. If Zhan Tianqi was allowed to control the military power, wouldn't the Nanfu Army be owned by the Eastern Palace?
