    Lu Qi didn't know that his ordinary request would cause a rift between the Crown Prince and Prince Ji. When he thought about it, it was not difficult for Prince Ji to find an ordinary job for Wen Yu. He could just give him a job as a guard.  So when King Ji's rejection letter arrived in Lu Qi's hands, Lu Qi was very surprised after reading it. The reason was that Emperor Zhou refused. This reason made Lu Qi very puzzled. Since Emperor Zhou had made a big deal with him,  How could he refuse his small request?  Lu Qi thought about it for a long time. Normally, his recommendation was out of respect for the Zhou court. It could also be said to imply a feedback on friendship. In fact, it was a friendly attitude to the Zhou emperor. But Zhou  The emperor responded by refusing.  After Lu Qi thought about it, he felt that this was Emperor Zhou's warning to him not to do anything excessive in Kaifeng Mansion. However, Lu Qi was not embarrassed about Wen Yu's placement. He could first let Wen Yu go to the store as a steward and bodyguard.  Wen Yu has no actual job, so working to earn money does not violate military regulations.  In King Ji's letter, he also responded to the matter of creating the criminal eunuch. Why Lu Qi wanted to create the criminal eunuch was mainly because he was worried about whether the criminal eunuch would inform him. The criminal eunuch knew that he was using Jiang's army to seize Suzhou in a surprise attack.  If Zhou Guo knew the secret, it might cause immeasurable crisis. In fact, Lu Qi didn't know it, because the confluence of various one-sided information made Emperor Zhou guess that he had hidden power in Changzhou.  Following King Ji's instructions, Lu Qi went to wait near the Donghua Gate of the imperial palace. King Ji's letter stated that Emperor Zhou would reduce the number of eunuchs in the Qinghe County Palace and only allow the Qinghe County Palace to have ten eunuchs.  The eunuch will enter the Great Zhou Palace to work, and the execution eunuch will be released from the Great Zhou Palace normally and handed over to Lu Qi.  Lu Qi waited patiently near the palace. He used his strength to get Eunuch Xing. There was some risk, but he believed that Eunuch Xing would not reveal his secret easily. Eunuch Xing was a eunuch, and whistleblowers would not be treated well, but day by day  After a long time, if they knew that Lu Qi was prospering in the Zhou Kingdom, they might resentfully frame Lu Qi.  Outside Donghuamen, there is a very prosperous market, which extends all the way to Maxing Street. It can also be said that Donghuamenfang Market is a part of the business of Maxing Street, specializing in various vegetables, fruits, and meats.  Most of Lu Qi's Qingfengju ingredients are purchased from Donghuamenfang City.  After waiting for a while, the execution eunuch arrived. More than a dozen imperial guards trapped the execution eunuch in the middle. In front of the imperial guards was a eunuch. He was about thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was slightly tall and strong. Although he was wearing eunuch clothes.  The clothes are quite heroic.  Lu Qi took the initiative to greet him as soon as he saw it. He saluted and smiled and said, "You know the king if you have seen him." "I don't dare, the prince consort is exalting a slave." The eunuch bowed respectfully and returned the salute.  Lu Qi smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Eunuch Xing. Eunuch Xing was also looking at Lu Qi. When he saw Lu Qi looking at him, he bent down and said respectfully before leaving, "This slave is paying homage to your consort." "Master Xing, don't do this, you and I won't do this.  There is a theory of master and slave," Lu Qiwen said.  "My servant is now a servant in the Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You are the Prince Consort of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so naturally you are my master." The eunuch punished him respectfully.  Lu Qi shook his head after hearing this and said: "Master Xing has helped me, so I can repay you as much as I can. I don't need Master Xing to be a slave."  , the slave can go there to ask for work. " "It's not difficult to find work. I have some shops in Kaifeng Mansion. Lord Xing can be the shopkeeper, and I can be Lord Xing's proprietor." Lu Qi said with a smile.  "Yes, I'm going to meet the proprietor." The eunuch changed his title knowingly.  Lu Qi smiled and nodded, raised his hands and saluted, and said: "Thank you for your hard work, brothers." The Forbidden Army responded with military salutes one after another. Lu Qi's official position is that of a general, and he also has the title of commander-in-chief. For ordinary Forbidden Army,  Definitely a high authority figure.  "Thank you, the king knows it." Lu Qi thanked the eunuch specifically.  This eunuch is not an ordinary eunuch. He is one of the top eunuchs in the Zhou Dynasty's palace. Lu Qi had listened to the leader's instructions when he was the leader. Although the Emperor of Zhou did not use eunuchs to hold power, some of the eunuch leaders in the palace were close ministers of the Tian family.  , equivalent to the general manager of a large family, so he is very powerful.  Wang Douzhi immediately said respectfully: "I don't dare, I'm back." Seeing Wang Douzhi and the imperial army leaving, Lu Qi turned around and smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Xing, let's go." Eunuch Xing nodded and followed Lu Qi to the east.  As he walked, Lu Qiping said calmly: "I never expected that I would meet Brother Xing again in Kaifeng Mansion." "I didn't expect that when the proprietor came to the Kingdom of Zhou, he would be able to achieve extraordinary feats.  "The execution eunuch complimented softly.  Lu Qiyi smiled and said: "I will save you from freedom.Firstly, I don¡¯t want things in Suzhou to be leaked, and secondly, we do have a favor between you and me. In any case, you also served as my elder for me, allowing me to embrace the beautiful woman.  " "My subordinates have a low life. If the boss doesn't save me, I will spend the rest of my life in hard labor and death."  "The criminal eunuch said softly. "Don't worry, I won't kill you. You are willing to work for me. I know you are very talented and I need your help.  "Lu Qi made a comforting promise. "I thank the proprietor and am willing to serve him.  "The criminal eunuch said respectfully in a soft voice. "I once promised your woman once. When you see your woman in the future and ask her what she wants, I will be able to satisfy it and there will be no excuses.  "Lu Qi said gently. "Yes, thank you proprietor for your kindness.  "The criminal eunuch responded excitedly. Lu Qi nodded, walked a dozen steps, and asked: "How is Duke Qinghe doing now?  " "It's not good. When he came to Dazhou, he was locked up in the mansion. He was moody all day long, but his subordinates knew that he was very scared, fearing that the Emperor of Dazhou would kill him.  "The eunuch punished him in a low voice. Lu Qi nodded and said, "He is a man who enjoys literary affairs. Since he has become a prisoner, he has time to enjoy literary affairs, so he should be more open-minded.  " "After he came to Zhou Dynasty, he wrote some poems, but they were all desolate poems about grief and anger. My subordinates felt that if those poems were seen by the Zhou Dynasty court, they would really have murderous intentions.  .  "The criminal eunuch sighed softly. Lu Qi was silent, walked for more than ten steps, and then said: "He is where he is today, all because of himself.  " "His temperament and ability are not suitable for being an emperor. However, because he did not have the confidence to control the military officials, he repeatedly suppressed and killed the military officials who were good at fighting. His subordinates believed that although his actions were foolish, he  During his more than ten years in power, there were basically no hidden dangers of usurping the throne due to military commanders becoming powerful.  "The eunuch Xing defended Lord Li. Lu Qi nodded and said: "Both the Tang and Zhou states have flaws in their methods of governance. The Tang state suffers from the problems of aristocratic families, who worship literature and suppress martial arts.  Zhou State attached great importance to military merit, but it caused troubles for its heroes.  " "If the Zhou State did not pay attention to military merit, it would have been invaded and destroyed by border invasions long ago.  "Eunuch Xing responded. Lu Qi nodded and suddenly asked: "Brother Xing used to be a member of Jiang's army. He should be good at naval warfare.  " "My boss, I am not boasting, but I am not only familiar with naval warfare, but also good at shipbuilding. I was originally a shipbuilding supervisor, but later I was injured, so I followed the lady to Jiangning.  "The eunuch Xing replied. Lu Qi heard this and smiled and said: "Since you can build ships and are familiar with naval warfare, after the New Year, I will find a way to send you to Suzhou and let you be the commander of the five thousand navy and preside over the voyage.  Business matters.  " "Is the proprietor telling the truth?  "The criminal eunuch immediately doubted. "I, Lu Tianfeng, have never broken my promises. Since you are good at naval warfare and knowledgeable about overseas business, I am naturally willing to use you.  "Lu Qi said peacefully. "I would like to thank the owner for his willingness to use it.  "The criminal eunuch responded respectfully. Lu Qiyi smiled and said, "If you can go back by yourself now, you can leave.  " Eunuch Xing shook his head after listening and said: "If my subordinates leave now, it will be detrimental to the proprietor. If the subordinates disappear, the Zhou Dynasty court will definitely be suspicious of the proprietor's behavior, which will be detrimental to the proprietor's great cause.  " Lu Qi was startled, then smiled and nodded, but Eunuch Xing took the initiative to ask about things in Hexi. During the conversation, the two walked to Qingfeng Ju, where Lu Qi continued to talk with Eunuch Xing while drinking wine in Qingfeng Ju. He discovered that Eunuch Xing  He is indeed a rare all-rounder, especially a general trader. On that day, Lu Qi took Eunuch Xing to Bianhe and made Eunuch Xing the general manager of many shops in Bianhe. Only Xifeng Tower was not in charge, and now he is the shopkeeper of Xifeng Tower.  , was recommended by Yang Hong, there was no way that Lu Qi could disgrace Yang Hong.
