Lu Zheng defeated the old fox Lu Changhe, and he felt that he could be at least safer in the capital!

Lu Changhe has been trying to find a way to break free from the control of Emperor Xinde. He secretly supported Long Lingxiu to become the treasury and move the forces and people that originally belonged to the Xuanjingsi to the treasury like hamsters.

On the other hand, Lu Changhe gave birth to a child in secret, paving the way for himself, waiting for the opportunity to come, he took the opportunity to tie up a new boss, and kicked Emperor Xinde away. By that time, he would have absolute authority in his hand. How could the new emperor ascend the throne not rely on his breath?

I have to say that his plan is very good, but unfortunately he met Lu Zheng by chance. Lu Zheng's journey to Beiyan is a must-have death, but he did not die. Not only did he not die, he exaggerated Lu Changhe's old secrets. It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Changhe's rebellion was forced out by Lu Zheng!

He was unwilling to let his life's hard work go to waste. He could only rebel, and Long Lingxiu could only rebel! As for Long Zhaoyan, he was even more helpless. As the prince, if he could see the hope of inheriting the throne, he would only need to endure a few more years. Why did he have to be the rebellious son who usurped the throne and killed his father?

But Long Zhaoyan really couldn't see hope. He felt that if he didn't rebel, he might become a prisoner tomorrow. Under such panic pressure, he was on a dead end.

"You are very smart. You have not killed Long Zhaoyan, nor have you destroyed Long Lingxiu! But do you think your intelligence is Xinde? In this world, when it comes to scheming and intrigue, Emperor Xinde is called second, and no one can be called first!

Lu Zheng, you are now his chess piece. He raises you up and kills us old ministers. Then he will change another trick, kill you, and let a new group of people come up. The Yangtze River pushes the previous waves, my today is your tomorrow!" Lu Changhedao, his tone became much calmer.

Lu Zheng said: "Everyone understands this principle. Didn't Dai Gao still exist before you? But have you ever thought about it? Do you think there is really someone in this world who can live forever?

So, Lord Lu, you are not without a chance. If you want to have a chance, the only thing you need to do is to live longer! Do you understand if I say that?"

Lu Changhe was stunned for a moment, and then a hot look appeared in his eyes. Lu Zheng said something, and his withered heart instantly showed vitality. Yes, when Emperor Xinde was in power, Lu Changhe was completely finished!

But can Emperor Xinde live forever? He has been infected with poison. It is a fatal addiction and it will not take long for his body to collapse. Maybe in three to five years, he will die!

No! It may even be less than three to five years, or maybe he will die in a year or two. With this in mind, Lu Changhe became excited. He stared at Lu Zheng, but when he wanted to speak, his expression became listless again.

He was hiding himself, and on the other hand, he was also a little afraid of Lu Zheng. He no longer dared to treat Lu Zheng as a young man. This young man is smart and smart, his skills and insights are not weaker than him, and he is even stronger in some aspects!

"Master Lu, cooperate with me and I will protect you from death!" Lu Zheng said, and he leaned into Lu Changhe's ear and said, "I remember all the warnings you gave me, I thought of everything you can think of, and I thought of what you didn't think of too! I think everything in the world depends on opportunities and luck. I really want to follow your footsteps, that's what my life should be!

But if we could prepare early and prepare earlier, maybe we could have a greater chance…”

Lu Changhe breathed a long sigh, slowly closed his eyes, Lu Zheng said, "It's almost done today. I'm just here to see you and chat with you. I don't expect you to answer me for a big deal. You can keep it here, see you next time!"

After Lu Zheng said that, he stood up and went out of the prison door. The prison guard came over to close the prison door. Lu Changhe stared at Lu Zheng's lips and tilted it, but he didn't say anything after all.

Lu Zheng was in a good mood after leaving the Ministry of Justice. After chatting with Lu Changhe for a while, he suddenly realized that things in this world didn’t need to be so serious. Life is only a few decades long, and everyone is just a passerby in this world.

Leaving the will of heaven, doing our best, grasping the present is the fundamental reason. As for what the future is, who can decide? The most unstable factor in the Dakang Dynasty at the moment is undoubtedly Emperor Xinde, but so what?

Dakang's future is not under the control of Emperor Xinde, and Dakang's future is not under the control of Lu Zheng. Since this is the case, Lu Zheng feels that he still needs to think too much about it? Isn't that enough to grasp the present and do his duty well?

...

The Ministry of Personnel, known as the leader of the six ministries, is in charge of officials all over the world. The Ministry of Personnel’s yamen is behind the cabinet, with a tall gate and a deep courtyard. This most important department in the Great Kang Kingdom is now controlled by Lu Zheng.

Wei Yuanping, the two ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, were officials promoted from Shandong. They were fifty years old and were upright. Duan Zhengxian, the right minister, was a key figure in the Duan family, the wealthy family in the capital. They were about fifty years old and were easy-going. They laughed before they could speak. They were not easy to deal with at first glance.

Below the two ministers, the Ministry of Personnel also has several departments, and the Wenxuan Department is the first department, which is in charge of the promotion and adjustment of officials' rankings and adjustments.

The Verification and Enemy Department is the second department, which is in charge of awarding titles, hereditary ancestors, commendation and awards, etc. There are also a total of five or six departments, including the Auditors, Testimonials, etc.

Each department has one doctor, two lords, and there are several officials, some lords, and some other lords who have idle meals. There are nearly 100 officials of the Ministry of Personnel.

The atmosphere of the Ministry of Personnel today is a little strange, because the Minister of Personnel Lu Zheng came to handle the job for the first time today, and Wei Yuanping and Duan Zhengxian were waiting in the main hall early in the morning.

When Lu Zheng arrived, all the officials of the Ministry of Personnel welcomed each other. Wei Yuanping and Duan Zhengxian did not dare to be negligent at all. Both of them welcomed the door.

Lu Zheng looked around and smiled and said, "Two ministers, sirs, you are so polite! Your Majesty ordered me to be the Minister of Personnel. This official is a high-ranking official, but I went back yesterday and thought about it and found that at present, our Ministry of Personnel, I am the Minister of Personnel, or not, in fact, what should we do is to do the wrong thing, which is no different from usual.

So after thinking about it, I found that my position is not as important as I imagined, so, what should you do, what should you do?

But one thing is that I, Lu Zheng, came to the Ministry of Personnel, and I can guarantee that everyone will have a lot of salary and benefits throughout the year than in previous years. As long as everyone does their jobs well, they will only have a lot of rewards, and in the end, the future will be brighter!"

When Lu Zheng said this, it caused a noise from the officials below. Some people said that the new official took office three times. Lu Zheng was young and promising. He was more likely to have to burn a few times when he just took office!

Unexpectedly, Lu Zheng actually gave this opening remark! Undoubtedly, everyone was surprised, but at the same time, everyone was very happy.

What are the things that officials are trying hard to do? It’s just promotion and wealth. As soon as Lu Zheng opened his mouth, he promised everyone from getting rich. How could everyone be unhappy?

It’s okay for the two ministers. Their positions are high enough and their families are very rich, so they don’t want to spend any money. But the other seventh and sixth grade officials are different. They are trying their best to get promoted and make a fortune!

Lu Zheng talked about their hearts, and they immediately became more and more fond of Lu Zheng! This greeting was just a little too long, but after this too long, everyone had a first impression of Lord Shangshu.

Look at the new Shangshu, who is young and wearing a purple official robe, and his handsome spirit, at first glance, he thought that a prince had arrived!

The officials below dispersed and went to work. Lu Zheng called the two ministers to his house and ordered tea. Lu Zheng said, "Two sirs, I'm just here, and I didn't bring any good tea. You two will take one or two first!"

Wei Yuanping didn't say anything, but Duan Zhengxian said with a smile: "Sir Shangshu, you are so polite. We look forward to the stars and the moon finally hopes for you. You are ready to take office. Our Ministry of Personnel will be able to do the future chores! You are the backbone, and Lord Wei and I are your loyal fans..."

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Mr. Duan, you are really polite. Who doesn't know that Master Duan of the Ministry of Personnel is very good at doing things and is highly respected?

Okay, we will do the same thing in the future, so there is no need to say more about politeness! You two Lord Wei are responsible for the overall situation, and you must master all the affairs of all sizes and small matters within the Ministry of Personnel!

As for Lord Duan, you must worry about the communication between our six ministries and the intentions of our cabinet prime minister.

As for me, I am responsible for creating a favorable environment for our Ministry of Personnel. If you encounter pressure and resistance, I will definitely resist it. If your Majesty has the will to do, I will go to Xiyuan to receive the order as soon as possible.

The three of us work together. If the Ministry of Personnel can do it well, we must be correct in one thing, that is, we are doing our jobs for Your Majesty, and we must do everything according to Your Majesty's will. Can the two masters understand?"

Wei and Duan's faces changed a little. The so-called expert can tell if there is anything at once. Lu Zheng's light words made the two feel that the visitor was not good and stressed.

What Lu Zheng said earlier was to divide the work for the two of them. Wei Yuanping was the left minister and had great power, while Duan Zheng was the right minister and could only do business matters, assisting Shangshu and Wei Yuanping.

Second, Lu Zheng emphasized that "destiny" is the key. Where does the destiny come from? Who is to convey it? The subtext of this is that Lu Zheng is the Secretary of the Emperor appointed by His Majesty. He acts in accordance with the will of Emperor Xinde. If the two do not cooperate in the future, they will resist the order! What is the crime of resisting the order? Without saying anything, you can just behead the two of them!

So, Lu Zheng's words sounded very polite, but in fact they were very strict. They were just asking them not to rely on their seniority and age to make trouble in the Ministry of Personnel.

But Lu Zheng said this and gave them enough face. Even if they were dissatisfied, they could not say it in court. The feeling was very strange.

Only then did they realize that Lu Zheng’s talented man had a good reputation. He was able to climb over them at a young age. His abilities were indeed extraordinary, and he was definitely not good at the visitor.

In fact, Wei Yuanping had always been a minister who followed Long Zhaoyan relatively tightly, but because Wei Yuanping came from Shandong, Emperor Xinde happened to go to Mount Tai on a tour. After Long Zhaoyan usurped the throne, he was worried that Wei Yuanping had a close relationship with Shandong, so he did not use him. This just allowed Wei Yuanping to escape a disaster, and Emperor Xinde did not let him dismissal.

Duan Zhengxian is different. He has always followed the King of Qin and is an important chess piece for the King of Qin to lay out the six divisions. When Long Zhaoyan usurped the throne, he was so scared that he hid in the Duan family and dared not to emerge. Now Long Zhaoyan has collapsed, and the wind of the King of Qin becoming the crown prince is getting faster and faster. Duan Zhengxian's future and opportunity are bright. Behind him is the Duan family in the capital. At this time, he is willing to be suppressed by Lu Zheng?

It is precisely because of this that Lu Zheng's methods seem clever. Lu Zheng did not directly suppress him, but placed Wei Yuanping on top of him, allowing the two to fight together in the Ministry of Personnel.

Wei Yuanping has a criminal record. If he dared not listen to Lu Zheng's greeting, Lu Zheng could let him get out in minutes or even take his life. The subtlety in this can only be understood but not expressed in words.
