Chapter 365 Avoid them!
Lu Zheng comforted Nie Yong a little, and the atmosphere between Nie Yong and Lu Lun was barely harmonious.
Nie Yong is a censor and has a close relationship with the prince. Not long ago, the Jiangnan royal family collectively turned to the prince because of the game with the King of Qin and helped the prince to get rid of the prince.
Nie Yong felt that it was an opportunity to further win over the relationship between the Jiangnan royal family and the prince, so he volunteered to accompany Lu Zheng to visit all the seniors.
At present, the main forces of the Jiangnan family's power in the capital, such as Gu Tiansheng, who was appointed as the Minister of Rites of the Ministry of Rites, was the leading figure in Jiangnan in the capital. In addition, Zhang Rong of the Zhang family has retired and is idle in the capital. She is working with her son Zhang Chengdong to manage the Zhang family's business in the north!
As for the Chen family, they have been completely alienated from the Gu, Zhang and Lu families in Jiangnan over the years, and their family moved to the capital. The Chen family that stayed in Jiangnan was just a few branches, so Lu Zheng did not need to visit them.
The reality may be more serious than imagined. Although it is approaching New Year's Eve, most of the yamen have been closed. At this moment, most people should be at home.
However, the prayers sent by Lu Zheng to the Gu family and Zhang family were like stones sinking to the sea, with no news feedback. In theory, the Jiangnan powers were in harmony with each other. Lu Zheng was the leader of his juniors, and he was also responsible for the fame of Jie Yuan. It was too late to welcome the elders of each family. How could he keep people from being so far away?
The reason is nothing else, it must be related to what happened at the Fayuan Temple Fair. In today's court, Dai Gao is in power and the civil and military officials in the court, who dares to offend Dai Xiang?
Lu Zheng made the young master Dai Shizhang unable to get out of the stage at Fayuan Temple. This matter has been fully fermented in the capital. Except for those who are watching the fun, anyone who can have a little bit of connection with Lu Zheng will be avoided at the moment!
Nie Yong was very excited at the beginning and had a positive attitude. Seeing Lu Zheng hitting a few nails, he was discouraged and said, "Dai Thief is powerful, Brother Zheng, you may suffer a loss this time! In this situation, the teacher thinks you should make plans early. The prince is eager to seek talent. He hopes to seek protection from you. Look..."
"Master Nie!" Lu Zheng took a deep breath and said, "It is a blessing or not a disaster, it is a disaster. Since I have this disaster in my life, I will accept it calmly. At this time, I beg others for shelter. What is the ability to ask for protection?
Master Nie, I have my own decision on this matter, and I hope the teacher can succeed!”
When Nie Yong heard Lu Zheng say this, his eyes widened. He stomped his feet repeatedly, and he couldn't resist Lu Zheng's persistence after trying hard to persuade him. In anger, he couldn't help but leave...
Lu Zheng was in a bad mood when he returned to the Lu Mansion, but Lu Lun was in a bad mood when he came back to the back house and saw Mrs. Su, and said, "Madam, this time, you and my husband will probably have to go back to Jiangnan soon. Zheng'er encountered this incident when he first arrived in the capital in Jiangnan. Alas... For the New Year, I wanted to go out to contact a few old friends, but hehe, he was avoiding him!"
Seeing Lu Lun’s mood depressed, Mrs. Su smiled and said, “Your Majesty does not need to be pessimistic. As the saying goes, true feelings are always there in the world!
Look, Zhang Chengdong, the eldest brother of the Zhang family, came to the mansion to visit him early, so I will let Hong Qing accompany him!"
Lu Lun was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and shook his head. He came to look for Mrs. Su, in order to see Mrs. Su's attitude. After all, this happened because of Lu Zheng. Lu Lun and Lu Zheng were a family, so they naturally prospered and suffered losses. But from Mrs. Su's standpoint, would he think so?
When Lu Lun heard Mrs. Su's words, he knew the general and took the overall situation into consideration. He was both relieved and guilty when he stood on the side of the Su family. When Lu Lun came to the capital, he was also a handsome young man with ambitions!
At that time, what he thought was that one day he would rise to the top, climb the Golden Palace, go to and from the study room, and strive for the dawn of the world, devote himself to the country and the country, and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!
Time flies, and decades have passed in a blink of an eye. Until now, Lu Lun is still just a fifth or sixth rank official. Not to mention climbing to the Golden Palace, he has only seen the emperor twice in his life.
As for the other people who enter the upper study, for the people of the dawn and the country, they only exist in dreams. The lower-level officials are buried in the complicated and complicated tasks every day, day after day, year after year, boring but helpless.
The boy once had gray hair, and his once straight back was already hunched over now. With a long sigh, Lu Lun felt mixed emotions and almost shed tears.
Born at the wrong time, Lu Lun was in the battle, and it was the moment when the Jiangnan Quanjia was suppressed. No matter how talented Lu Lun had, no matter how loyal or hardworking, his destiny was destined in his life. Who made him a child of the Jiangnan Quanjia?
Now, Lu Lun is old, but his juniors, Lu Ning and Lu Zheng are not old yet, especially Lu Zheng, who is just like Lu Lun back then. Wasn't he going to the capital as Jie Yuan to achieve a good future? Wasn't he also for his ambition?
However, Lu Zheng only came for a few days and was plotted against him and fell into a desperate situation. He was surrounded by enemies and was about to storm. Lu Lun didn't know what to do!
At this moment, he was extremely angry and helpless. Who dared to offend Dai Xiang in the Dakang Dynasty? Most of the civil and military officials in the dynasty were disciples of Dai Xiang. If a ghost like Lu Lun is not expected to be successful in his whole life.
Chen Zhiqian, a member of the Jiangnan family, has now become the Minister of State. He was able to climb up because the Chen family completely turned to the Dai family over the years and was willing to be a lackey in the Dai family.
The dignified Jiangnan power clan has become someone else's lackey. The cost is too high!
Lu Lun was in a complicated mind and immediately went to the living room in the backyard. Lu Zheng and Zhang Chengdong had already seen him. When he saw Zhang Chengdong, Lu Zheng was in a very complicated mood. He walked up to him and knelt down properly and said, "Lu Zheng has seen his uncle!"
Zhang Chengdong shook his whole body and stared at Lu Zheng with wide eyes, and his mood couldn't calm down. He once remembered that when Lu Zheng first arrived in Yangzhou, Lu Zheng was thin and humble at that time, and was not worth mentioning at all.
In fact, when Mrs. Zhang sent Lu Zheng to Yangzhou, she was not trying to let Lu Zheng go back alive! At that time, who would have thought that Lu Zheng would be today, including Zhang Chengdong?
When Zhang Chengdong left, he left a way out for Lu Zheng, but after Zhang Chengxi and Zhang Chengbei returned, he repeatedly harmed Lu Zheng. As a result, all the conspiracies and tricks were ineffective. Not only did Lu Zheng not die in Yangzhou, he became more and more prosperous as he lived, and returned to Jinling as a little Sanyuan.
After arriving in Jinling, in just one year, Lu Zheng won Jieyuan again. The thin boy of the past has grown up. Look at Lu Zheng now, he is a talented person, elegant, confident and elegant, and is no less than the best young man in the capital.
Zhang Chengdong secretly thought about recalling everyone in the Zhang family’s descendants, and no one could match Lu Zheng!
"Zheng'er, my uncle is also far away in a foreign land in the capital. It is said that it is difficult to go out everywhere. People are in the world and cannot help themselves. I read the places where you are not well-careful, and I hope you don't take it a fuss!" Zhang Chengdongdao.
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Don't say that, uncle. I just arrived in the capital not long ago and wanted to visit you immediately, but I was plagued by some common things.
A few days ago, at the Fayuan Temple Fair, I was in trouble again. In the current situation, everyone was afraid of me, but my uncle dared to come to see me. My nephew was moved and ashamed."
"Haha!" Zhang Chengdong laughed and said, "Uncle is just a businessman. As the saying goes, people do not ask for help. In the court, there are powerful people who take power. People who do business with us do not interfere with the rivers. What am I afraid of them doing?"
Zhang Chengdong said these words very casually, but Lu Zheng saw incomparable loneliness in his eyes. Zhang Chengdong is not an ordinary person. Just from the point of knowing Master Yan, this person is not ordinary.
Lu Zheng was able to gain a foothold in Yangzhou and meet Master Yan in Yangzhou. This was all Zhang Chengdong's kindness, and this kindness was enough for Lu Zheng to remember it for his whole life.
Lu Zheng didn't know Zhang Chengdong's story, and he was unwilling to ask. At this moment, Lu Zheng couldn't take care of himself, let alone how to repay his kindness, so he didn't mention everything at this time!
Zhang Chengdong said: "Brother Zheng, there are so many difficulties. The current difficulties cannot compare to those of the past. Even the life and death disasters can be overcome. What other difficulties can stop you?
Although my uncle is just a businessman, his ability to look at people is never inferior to others. Those who forget their righteousness when seeing profits and seek profits and avoid harm are not worthy of justice. My uncle believes that Brother Zheng can overcome difficulties..."
Lu Zheng and Zhang Chengdong reminisced about the past. Lu Lun came over. He clasped his fists and said, "Brother Zhang, you have sinned. Brother Shi came to my house, but I went out. It's a big sin!
Today I have ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of home-cooked meals tonight. Brother Shi will keep the meal no matter what. You and my brother will drink and talk about it..."
Lu Lun has lived in the officialdom for a long time and is naturally familiar with the ability to deal with people. In fact, although he and Zhang Chengdong both live in the capital, they basically don’t meet each other.
The Jiangnan powers were no longer comparable to those in the past. Now it can be said that they are a mess. In name, the people are still in the same mood. In fact, everyone has long since swept away the snow in front of the door and is flawless and has been worried about others.
Besides, Zhang Chengdong is a businessman and Lu Lun is an official, and the identities of the two are no longer equal. Zhang Chengdong is doing business with great success. Lu Lun's official position is lifeless, and it is impossible to say who is good or bad. It's just that there is nothing to do. Who can take the lead in putting down his face and visiting each other?
It was precisely because of Lu Zheng that Zhang Chengdong took the initiative to come to the door today, and the scene where the younger generations of the Zhang family called each other brothers and drank and talked about each other. From the current situation, I thought that when the Jiangnan power clan was in full swing, the four people had mixed relationships and frequent and intimate relationships. That was the experience of an adult emperor!
