    Emperor Zhou left Xifeng Tower and felt relieved. Lu Qi felt even more relieved. Talking and drinking with Emperor Zhou had no fun at all. In fact, Emperor Zhou was the same, both of them were drinking Douxin Wine.  As soon as Emperor Zhou left, the guests took the initiative and enthusiastically congratulated Lu Qi. Their mood was completely different from the first time they came. People with business reputation took the initiative to talk and seek cooperation. They leaned against the big tree to enjoy the shade. If General Lu and  The imperial court is friendly, so the advantages of doing business are obvious. At least there can be an army to protect the business.  In fact, most of these business-famous people have something to do with the nobles. The nobles themselves do not do business, but their relatives or domestic slaves will participate in the business. The benefits of business are what the nobles want, but the nobles  Face also needs to be maintained, so there are many so-called leading lords in various industries, and the status of businessmen in the Zhou Kingdom is not high.  Lu Qi smiled and socialized for a while, and finally sat down at Gongsheng's table. Zhang Jie was also there. The six people stood up to greet Lu Qi. Lu Qi waved his seat with a smile, and he also sat down. The waiter was busy knowing  The machine brought a glass of wine.  Lu Qi first glanced at the five Gongsheng students, who were obviously frightened. Lu Qi smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about anything. I, Lu Tianfeng, won't fight with you. I will work hard when I get back." "Yes, thank you."  General." The Gongsheng students all saluted in gratitude.  Lu Qi smiled and said: "Don't expect anything. What I can take care of you is that if you come to Xifeng Tower to eat, the price will be 30% cheaper. It's better for you to rely on your own for your official career." The Gongsheng students nodded in response,  Lu Qi smiled and said: "Eat and drink well. If you don't eat well at this banquet, you will regret it." The Gongsheng students nodded excitedly. Lu Qi turned to look at Zhang Ji, stretched out his hand to take the cup and Zhang Ji responded with a cup.  After the man took a sip, Lu Qi put down the cup and said with a smile: "What official position did Mr. Zhang hold in Jiangnan?" "Xiaguan was originally a foreign minister of the Ministry of Rites, and later a guest of the prince." Zhang Jie replied.  Lu Qi nodded and said in surprise: "It turns out that Lord Zhang and Lord Meng Shi were both ministers of the former host." Zhang Jie nodded and said: "Both Xiaguan and Lord Meng were selected and promoted by the former empress, but Xiaguan  Compared with Mr. Meng, he is not trusted by the proprietor. The proprietor has always felt that the lower official is suspected of spying, but in fact, the lower official has never done anything bad with his words. The result is that the proprietor dislikes him and the king does not like it.  " Lu Qi nodded in understanding, knowing that Zhang Ji was once a sandwich, he raised his glass and said: "The past is over, I hope Mr. Zhang can have a good start." "Thank you, General Zhang.  Putting down the cup, Lu Qi asked: "Master Zhang, I want to ask about someone, Wei Hao, does your Excellency know?" Zhang Ji was startled and said, "Wei Hao, the lower official knows." "When I was in Jiangnan, I was in Shi  Dai County had a relationship with Wei Hao once, but I don¡¯t know what is happening to Wei Hao now," Lu Qi said peacefully.  "Wei Hao also came to the Zhou Dynasty and now serves as the Secretary of Dali Temple. He was originally the Secretary of Dali in Jiangnan and later served as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple." Zhang Jie replied.  Lu Qi nodded. As expected, Wei Hao was brought to the Zhou Kingdom. Zhang Ji hesitated and then said: "The general probably doesn't know. Wei Hao is different from the lower officials. He returned with honor." Lu Qi nodded, and then looked at it in shock.  He looked at Zhang Ji and said, "What did you say? Ronggui?" Zhang Ji nodded and said, "Wei Hao is Ronggui. It is said that he was originally a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty." Lu Qi was surprised when he heard this and looked at Zhang Ji with an expression of disbelief.  Zhang Ji smiled bitterly and said: "General, when the subordinates found out, they couldn't believe it. Wei Hao was in Jiangnan, but he was deeply trusted by the king." Lu Qi frowned and said: "Wei Hao is a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He used to  In the south of the Yangtze River, the main focus is to eliminate the secret agents of the Zhou Dynasty lurking across the river. "It's hard to tell, but Wei Hao is actually an official of the Zhou Dynasty lurking in the south of the Yangtze River."  Lu Qi nodded, but he was a little scared. In the past, when Wei Hao was the governor of Raozhou, he did not rely on Wei Hao out of caution. At that time, firstly, Raozhou had Wang Zhongliang to rely on, and secondly, he had concerns about Wei Hao, mainly because of Wei Hao.  Hao is a member of the Zhou family and has won the trust of Lord Li. Wei Hao is an official spy of the Zhou family and can be said to be deeply lurking.  "Among the officials from Jiangnan, is Wei Hao the only one who has returned with honors?" Lu Qi quickly asked calmly.  "I heard that there are four more. One of the generals must know him, Mr. Zhao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry in the south of the Yangtze River. I heard that the Zhou army was able to successfully cross the natural dangers of the river, and Mr. Zhao had the secret support." Zhang Jue replied.  Lu Qi was stunned again after hearing this, and then nodded suddenly. Zhao Shilang did have a strong secret force in Chizhou, which was developed by the former Zhao Xian Cheng. Although Zhao Xian Cheng and Niu Xianwei were killed one after another, Zhao Shilang  The dark forces in Chizhou have not been attacked.In addition to the destruction, it seems that the Chizhou Kanghua navy did not dispatch to prevent the Zhou army from crossing the river. It should be Zhao Shilang's use of force, not Chizhou Ma Shi who dared not send troops.  "So, Zhao Shilang in Jiangnan will now be a minister in Zhou Dynasty." Lu Qi asked knowingly.  "He did not obtain the official position of minister, but was a member of the Ministry of Industry. However, it is said that relatives of Zhao Shilang also obtained military and political positions in Jiangnan. Zhao Shilang had a nephew who even became the Marquis of Du Yu who commanded five thousand troops." Zhang Jie  replied.  Lu Qi nodded silently, took a sip from the cup, Zhang Jie also took a sip from the cup, put down the cup, and sighed: "General, the king is very stupid in governing the country, but he is indeed a benevolent king. The king left Jiangning  At that time, tens of thousands of people knelt down and cried in farewell. I heard that two old ministers also committed suicide in grief and anger. "Lu Qi looked at Zhang Ji and said peacefully: "Are the people in Jiangning crying in farewell?" Zhang Ji was startled, then bowed his head slightly and said.  : "It's the official who made a mistake." "You did not make a mistake. The people of Jiangning should be grateful to Lord Li, because Lord Li gave Jiangning a prosperous life. However, millions of people outside Jiangning resented Lord Li because of Jiangning's prosperity.  , was supported by the people outside Jiangning. In the city of Jiangning, there are high-ranking officials and nobles who are drunk and dreaming, and elegant and self-proclaimed scholars and writers can be seen everywhere. Jiangning is the heavenly palace of Lord Li, but outside Jiangning is a human hell where people are hungry and dying.  To prosper a city, it harms a country." Lu Qi said coldly, his words full of sharp criticism.  Zhang Jie looked at Lu Qi in shock. Lu Qi looked at him and said coldly: "What? Do you think what I said is wrong? Then you must have not left Jiangning for a long time." Zhang Jie's expression dimmed and he nodded: "  Xiaguan has not left Jiangning for a long time, but the prosperity of Jiangning means nothing but hardship to Xiaguan. " Lu Qiyi was startled, then nodded and said, "If you hold a casual position in Jiangning, you will indeed be in hardship. Jiangning is a waste of money.  Land." Zhang Ji nodded, but Lu Qi said again: "But you will be in trouble when you come to Kaifeng Mansion, at least you can't afford a house." Zhang Ji was startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "I can do it.  It's a great luck to have saved my life." Lu Qi smiled and said, "How is your handwriting?" Zhang Ji was startled and said, "Xiaguan's handwriting is okay, but it's not as powerful as the general's handwriting.  "I am a military commander, and my calligraphy skills have naturally evolved since I was young. I bought a jade shop and a porcelain shop. If you are good at calligraphy and painting, you can work part-time." Lu Qi said with a smile.  Zhang Ji stared at Lu Qi. He was really puzzled. How could this general with a heavy army, good at conquering and fighting, the de facto king of Hexi, like the way of merchants? As an official and a scholar, in his heart  He despises businessmen because business is a lowly industry.  "Thank you, General. I can give it a try when I'm a lower-ranking officer." Zhang Jie made a decision. He came to accept the invitation because he had a desire to surrender. Since the proprietor valued business, he had to do what he wanted.  ***** In the afternoon, Miss Fourteen and her mother entered the palace, went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to ask for an audience with Princess Xianghe, and presented the luminous cup and ten bottles of wine. She made it clear that the luminous cup was used by His Majesty the Emperor and could not be allowed to go to anyone else.  Lu Shangshu asked Princess Xianghe to keep it.  After dusk, Emperor Zhou came to Xiaoxiang Courtyard and received the luminous cup of wine from his daughter. During the wine tasting, he talked warmly with his daughter and Concubine Xiang. The next day, Concubine Xiang took the initiative to send the luminous cup and wine to the emperor at any time.  A place that can be used by the emperor.
