The next day, Wen Yu went to see King Ji anxiously. King Ji had not yet established a palace outside the palace, so Wen Yu had no choice but to go to the Zhou Palace. When he arrived at the east gate of the palace, he said that Lu Tianfeng had a letter for His Highness King Ji, guarding the gate. The imperial guard general inspected Wen Yu's military card, did not dare to neglect, and sent Wen Yu's letter to the palace. After waiting for a long time, King Ji came out in person. When he saw Wen Yu, King Ji was a little unhappy. Wen Yu's appearance was very unpleasant, with triangular eyes and knife wounds on his face. , I couldn't help but feel wary. However, King Ji had seen a lot of ugly faces in the west, so he was not too displeased. What he didn't like was mainly Wen Yu's triangular eyes, which gave him a gloomy feeling. The four squadrons who accompanied King Ji, He also looked at Wen Yu warily. Wen Yu knew what he was interested in and did not come forward. He raised his arms in a military salute three meters away and said respectfully: "Your Majesty Wen Yu pays homage to His Royal Highness King Ji." King Ji took a few steps forward and said gently: "Tianfeng can recommend you, you should You are a capable warrior. What are you best at? " "Your Majesty, I am good at swordsmanship and even better at climbing over walls." Wen Yu replied respectfully. He knew that Dazhou respected true warriors and it would be difficult for them to be reused without real skills. "Oh, you are good at climbing over eaves and walls. Can you climb this palace wall?" King Ji asked. "Your Majesty, go ahead." Wen Yu replied respectfully. "Then you are very powerful, but I can't give you a real job. You go back and wait for three days, and I will recommend you." King Ji said, but he did not let Wen Yu go to the city. "No! I will retire." Wen Yu responded respectfully. "Wait a minute, what is your relationship with Tianfeng?" King Ji asked. "Back to Your Highness, I met General Lu in Shidai County. I investigated the Snitch murder case with General Lu. When I came to Kaifeng Mansion, I heard about General Lu, so I went to ask for help yesterday. General Lu I was so nostalgic that I drank and talked with him, and finally wrote a letter of recommendation to him." Wen Yu replied respectfully. King Ji nodded and said: "You go and wait for the letter. If it doesn't work, you can only wait patiently for a few days." "Yes, I thank you, Your Highness." Wen Yu bowed respectfully, King Ji nodded, turned around and returned to the palace, still out of sight. After seeing King Ji, Wen Yu left. In fact, after drinking together yesterday, Wen Yu even wanted to become Lu Tianfeng's subordinate. He wanted to go to Hexi and become a general, but he understood that Lu Tianfeng really couldn't let him belong directly. His origins and Lu Tianfeng's current situation were all different. He is a person who is tabooed by the Zhou court. Wen Yu's appointment must be decided by the Zhou court. King Ji naturally went to see Emperor Zhou, but he did not go there until two days later. Because King Ji was very careful in his work, he first made people understand Wen Yu's origins and knew that Wen Yu was not a surrendered minister of Tang after the defeat, but The foreign ministers who had attached themselves to the Zhou Dynasty in advance and investigated Wen Yu naturally connected with Wei Hao's information. Emperor Zhou was resting in the Wende Hall after the dynasty. King Ji entered the Wende Hall and saw that the prince's fourth brother was also there. After paying homage to his father, he then gave a gift to the prince. The prince smiled and nodded in response. "Xijin, what's the matter?" Emperor Zhou asked gently. "Father, it was Lu Tianfeng who recommended an old acquaintance. He asked me to find a real job to settle him in. This is the information from my investigation and Lu Tianfeng's letter of recommendation." King Ji replied, stepping forward to put the copy and recommendation letter in his hand. Send it. Emperor Zhou took it and looked at it, then turned to look at the prince and said, "Xixun, take a look." The prince went over and took the copy and the letter. After reading it, he said, "Father, does Lu Tianfeng want to do this?" A force has been installed in Kaifeng Mansion." King Ji was startled and said, "Fourth brother, this is just an idle commander. If Lu Tianfeng asks, he can be given a real job as a supervisor." "Lu Tianfeng should be able to give him a position. , why bother asking the sixth brother?" The prince frowned. King Ji hesitated to speak, and Emperor Zhou said calmly: "Lu Tianfeng may want to avoid suspicion. The person he recommended is a general affiliated with the Infantry Division. If Lu Tianfeng forcibly transfers him, he will be contemptuous of the Infantry Division, and it is also against the law." The prince nodded after hearing this, but still said: "I think it is not appropriate to appoint someone like Lu Tianfeng in Kaifeng Mansion." Emperor Zhou nodded, looked at King Ji, and asked, "Xi Jin, please see me." "I have seen it, but that person gave me a gloomy feeling, and he was a surrendered minister. I thought that a subordinated minister was less trustworthy than a surrendered minister, and this person took the initiative. I went to seek help from Lu Tianfeng, he must be a profit-seeking person." King Ji replied in detail. "Sixth brother, Lu Tianfeng is also a subordinate." The prince continued. King Ji was startled. He felt that the prince's fourth brother seemed to have changed a lot, and seemed to be less gentle. He hesitated and did not argue, but said to Emperor Zhou: "Father, if it is not appropriate to give Ban Zhi, I suggest that you transfer him to Ban Zhi." Returned to mainland ChinaWind. " "Sixth brother's suggestion is inappropriate. Since Lu Tianfeng can recommend this person, it means that this person is loyal to Lu Tianfeng. If he is transferred to Lu Tianfeng, it will only increase the trouble for the court. "The prince immediately retorted. King Ji was stunned when he heard this and said: "Fourth brother, this is just a commander. " "The current Hexi Protector Yang Kun was originally just a county captain, but his sixth brother was transferred to Lu Tianfeng. "The prince retorted with an example. King Ji became angry after hearing this and argued: "Fourth brother, that Yang Kun is Lu Tianfeng's family friend. I just don't agree. Lu Tianfeng will also let Yang Kun go to Hexi. " "Sixth brother, as a brother, I don't want you to accommodate Lu Tianfeng again and again. Your repeated accommodation will only allow Lu Tianfeng to make further progress. Lu Tianfeng has no choice but to act recklessly in the west, but Kaifeng Mansion must not give Lu Tianfeng a chance to build his power. If Lu Tianfeng is responsible for this matter, it will inevitably cause Jiangnan's surrender to surrender to Lu Tianfeng. Lu Tianfeng's move must have hidden evil intentions. "The prince retorted with a straight face. King Ji couldn't continue the argument after hearing this. The fourth brother is the prince, and he also cited the example of Yang Kun to accuse him. If he continues to argue, it will only be the consequence of disrespecting his elders. "Father. Your Majesty, I was wrong. I didn't think carefully about this matter. "King Ji said respectfully to Emperor Zhou. Emperor Zhou was speechless after hearing this. After a while, he said: "Xijin, your fourth brother's concerns are justified. You refuse this matter. " "Yes, my son, I obey. "Prince Ji responded respectfully. "What would you say to Lu Tianfeng? Emperor Zhou asked. King Ji hesitated and said, "My son said that the Infantry Division would not allow it." " "You can say that I don't allow it. "Emperor Zhou said gently. King Ji hesitated, nodded and said: "Yes, I have written it down. " "you go. "Emperor Zhou said gently. "My son, please retire. "King Ji bowed respectfully, turned around and left. As soon as King Ji left, the prince stood up and asked: "Father, did you do something wrong? " Emperor Zhou looked at the prince and said, "It's wrong, it's not wrong, it just depends on what kind of gains and losses you focus on. " "Father, please make it clear. "The prince said respectfully. Emperor Zhou was silent. After a while, he said: "If you say you are not wrong, it is you who have maintained your authority. If you say you are wrong, it is you who have made Xi Jin feel chilled. " The prince's face became alarmed, and he saluted and said: "Father, I am speaking based on the facts to prevent trouble before it happens. " "You said it was based on facts, but you made generalizations. The Wen Yu recommended by Lu Tianfeng was just a warrior with a background of government officials, but you put him on the same level as Yang Kun. Kun was once the commander-in-chief of the Eight Wanning Army. It was my mistake to let Yang Kun go to the west. It was my slighting of Nanchen. "Emperor Zhou said. "So, I am wrong. "The prince said in frustration. "You are not wrong. Xi Jin should not be too accommodating to Lu Tianfeng. It's just that you refuted Xi Jin fiercely, but it was wrong. Falling out with your brother because of a little person is not worth the gain. as a result of. "Emperor Zhou taught. The prince nodded blankly and suddenly saluted: "Father, my son, please go and apologize to Xi Jin. " Emperor Zhou smiled and nodded, and said: "Lu Tianfeng asked Xi Jin for two things. You go and tell Xi Jin, and I can agree to the other thing. The prince hesitated after hearing this and said, "Father, would it be inappropriate to ask the Qinghe County Duke for someone for Lu Tianfeng?" " "A county government's palace should not be similar to a prince's palace. Ten eunuchs are enough. "Emperor Zhou replied calmly. The prince nodded understandingly and left the Wende Hall to see Prince Ji after saying goodbye. Emperor Zhou looked at the door of Wende Hall and his expression turned gloomy. He naturally understood why the prince refuted King Ji fiercely. The reason was that the prince Because of Lu Tianfeng, he was also subconsciously hostile to Prince Ji, or it could be said to be a kind of fear. After a long time, Emperor Zhou leaned back and closed his eyes to rest. In fact, he had already expected the prince's son's mentality. , born in an imperial family, the emperor would be wary of brothers with strong or military power.
