Long Lingxiu made a harsh remark and gave a heavy reward. This year's Beijing Cuju competition has more different meanings than in previous years. The nobles in Beijing are extremely concerned about this event.

The nobles like Cuju. The annual Cuju competition is a festive day for the nobles in the capital. This year, the eldest princess Long Lingxiu took this posture again. Before the competition began, the popularity has begun to soar.

After the eldest princess, the Qin Palace, the East Palace, and the Qi Palace all expressed their opinions, saying that this year's Cuju competition, their respective teams should perform well and they all want to compete for the championship!

Concubine Yi lives in Wanhua Palace. Today is the day when the King of Qi enters the palace to pay his respects. Compared with the King of Qin and the Crown Prince, the King of Qi looks a little richer. Although he is the eldest son, he is only a few months older than the King of Qin. But no matter what, he is not young now, and he is not confused in the New Year, but he has not achieved much success. In the King of Qi, there is no slight anxiety and anxiety. His temperament is still as free and open-minded as before.

"My son is paying homage to the mother, I wish you a blessing!" King Qi knelt down properly and kowtowed to pay his respects to Concubine Yi. Although Concubine Yi has passed the age of destiny, she has been well maintained and looks elegant and luxurious, with a very dignified appearance.

"Get up, Rui'er. I heard that you have to end up in this Cuju competition in person. Hey, I don't know what to say to you! Your dignified Prince of Da Kang is so unrespectful. I'm afraid those censors will have a lot to say when they look back! If your father knows, he will be very unhappy!" said Concubine Yi.

King Qi said: "Mother, don't worry! Cuju is what the father likes. He will only be happy when he knows it, and will not do what he thinks! In this Cuju competition, all teams made harsh words. Before the competition started, the smell of gunpowder was very strong! I think Cuju competition will definitely be very exciting. Who would I participate in this grand event?"

The King of Qi paused and said, "Mother, I know you are worried about your child. But in the heart of the father, the son minister is a military general. Since he is a general, how can he watch casually such things as Cuju? The second and third brothers only know how to shake the flag and shout. If I only do it myself, there is no harm! Do you think so?"

Concubine Yi sighed and said, "You know that there is a second child, and the third child is fine. I thought you had forgotten your identity! Now, it is the time for you to do your career. The prince and the King of Qin are both young and promising, and they are working hard inside and outside the court. Could it be that you just watch coldly all day long and do nothing?"

The King of Qi was slightly stunned and shook his head gently and said, "Mother, it's not that my son is not doing anything, but that there is nothing to do! My son has been in the army for many years and has no power in the capital. How easy is it to make a difference in the capital? It's not something that can be done overnight..."

"Rui'er, Mother knows your difficulties. These days, Mother has also thought of some solutions for you. Mother feels that among the civil and military officials in the court, you can pay more attention to some young powers! One of them, Mother thinks it is especially suitable for you to pay attention to, this person..."

King Qi smiled slightly, interrupted Concubine Yi and said, "Did the mother mother talk about Lord Lu Zheng and Lu?"

Concubine Yi was stunned for a moment and immediately clapped her hands and said, "Yes! It seems that my son has already made a decision in his heart. It's not bad that he is Lord Lu Zheng. Needless to say, he is the first-class talent in my Great Kang Dynasty. When it comes to military management, it is also very amazing. He is famous all over the world in the battle to defend the city in the northwest. This time, His Majesty asked him to take over the city defense camp, and he cleverly controlled the situation in just a few months. Such talent is not an exaggeration to say that he is a pillar of the country!

However, such a top-notch talent is jealous of people. Lingxiu regards him as a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh! Lingxiu has a great influence between the King of Qin and the Prince. The Prince and the King of Qin will definitely not recruit Lu Zheng. In this case, you happen to take action and take this talent under your command. I believe that in time, it will definitely be helpful to your power in the court!"

Concubine Yi talked about it. Although she was a woman in the harem, she knew the situation of the court. When she said this, it can be said that her analysis was very insightful and King Qi listened very seriously.

After pondering for a long time, King Qi said, "Mother, there is one thing you may not know. I had some misunderstandings with this Lord Lu..." King Qi immediately told Concubine Yi about the collision with Lu Zheng outside the city, and then sighed and said:

"Mother, although I am a prince, I have almost no foundation in the court. The ministers with a little bit of power in the court are polite to me on the surface, but they don't take me seriously at all. There are even ministers who are not cunning and show contempt for me on the surface. In this situation, Lord Lu and I had grudges before. Can he surrender to me at this time? I am really nervous!" said King Qi.

His mood was obviously a little depressed, because his situation was indeed very embarrassing, which made him feel unconfident. He paused and said, "There is also a little bit of mother. Although Lord Lu Zheng was jealous of Lingxiu, he was extremely favored by his father. He is now in charge of the city defense camp, which is his father's personal guard. If I get along with him at this time, will the father have other ideas? My son is also very nervous!"

Concubine Yi frowned slightly. After all, she was a female. After all, she had no idea when she heard what the King of Qi said. She just sighed and said, "My son is really hard! My mother thought about it for a long time. She thought that she had already thought of a plan to break the ice. She didn't expect that you had thought of this strategy for a long time, but she could not implement it for various reasons. Alas, the mother is a female lover, and she really has no knowledge, so she has no help to you!"

She pondered for a moment and said, "But from my perspective, Lord Lu Zheng is definitely not an ordinary person. Even if you don't recruit him, you should make friends with him more! It is easy to add icing on the cake in this world when he has not made a fortune, but it is difficult to provide timely help. You must remember this! No matter what, you have such an opportunity. The second and third brothers are afraid of being attacked, Lingxiu will inevitably press against Lord Lu Zheng again. After all, Lord Lu Zheng is young and he will inevitably have huge pressure in the short term. In this situation, can't you use your brain more?"

A conversation between Concubine Yi and King Qi touched the King of Qi. Lu Zheng was so famous in the capital that he had been paying attention to it for a long time, but he had never dared to have any other thoughts. But today when his mother said this, he was repeatedly smearing and considering it, and he felt that his mother was making more and more reasonable.

In this world, it is indeed difficult to provide timely help. Long Zhaorui has nothing now, he has the identity of King Qi, and he has no bargaining chips to recruit Lu Zheng. He only has the identity of King Qi and a friendship of helping him in time. What he hesitated at this time? After passing this village, there is no such store!

He came out of the palace and without saying a word, he immediately returned to the mansion and recruited all his confidant staff to the conference hall to discuss the matter, and a group of staff opposed it.

The reason for speaking is nothing more than that the King of Qi has made friends with close ministers in private and was the emperor's personal guard, which may make the emperor afraid, and thus stealing chickens will not lose the rice and causing trouble.

There are also people who say that Lu Zheng was just a young official from the fourth rank and was successful in his youth. At this time, when King Qi went to make friends with him, he would inevitably offend the prince and King Qin. It was really not worth offending two brothers for Lu Zheng.

Some people also say that the King of Qi has a noble status and holds military power. In this case, why should he be a so-called talented man who is still not dry? That will only reduce his identity and make him laugh.

Besides, Lu Zheng is now jealous of the eldest princess. It can be said that the clay bodhisattva crosses the river and cannot protect himself. At this time, what role can the King of Qi play with Lu Zheng? He still hopes that Lu Zheng can fight the eldest princess and wait until he establishes power in the court in the future?

I have to say that these statements make sense, because Lu Zheng was only twenty years old, and the youngest in history in the prime minister of this dynasty was in his forties and nearly fifty years before he could rise to power. Lu Zheng had at least twenty years old. What was going on after more than twenty years? At that time, His Highness of the King of Qi himself was already over 60 years old. Was the King of Qi still the King of Qi at that time?

Just this point, it is nothing different for King Qi to find Lu Zheng, that is just a matter of causing trouble...

Long Zhaorui was originally passionate and was very confident in making friends with Lu Zheng. He was poured cold water from a group of strategists. His heart was cold for a while. At this moment, Leng Shan, the eunuch in charge of the royal palace, sneered:

"Sir, you may be wrong! I have not read many books, but I have read a lot of things. Today, the emperor continues the past and is not subject to any restrictions.

Since the founding of our Great Kang Dynasty, no one has been able to hold a high position as high as Lord Lu at the age of twenty. The emperor trusts Lord Lu Zheng. Not only is he very talented, but he is a top-notch expert in military administration and officials. How can such a powerful person be seen from the perspective of a normal person? Maybe in three or five years, Lord Lu will be able to enter the cabinet and become a minister. What is impossible?”

Leng Shan looked around, regardless of the surprise of the people around him, and he said again: "At this time, the prince and Lord Lu Zheng have a good relationship, and it is good for no reason! The Cuju competition has been decided, and it just so happens that there is a Cuju team in the royal palace. The prince can lead the Cuju team in the royal palace and the Cuju team in the city defense camp to warm up and communicate first. This is both a test and it is not a big deal. Even if some gossipers want to say anything, they have no way to say it. What do you guys who are talking about think?"

Leng Shan has never spoken, and even since he entered the palace, his personality has been extremely dull, so even Long Zhaorui has ignored his existence. Unexpectedly, if he doesn't make a sound, he will make a big splash. Just the words he just said are enough to show that this eunuch is definitely not an ordinary person.
