"Lu Xuezheng and you are relatives!"

Liu Zheng explained with a smile.

"Relatives? Why didn't I know that I had a relative named Lu?"

Ning Fu was puzzled. His family relationship was very simple. His father was alone, and everyone in his hometown had been killed during the rebellion.

As for Ning Fu's mother, I heard that she came to the capital as a refugee from other places, and there was only one of her, so Ning Fu really didn't have any relatives except Liu Zheng's family.

"You are indeed relatives. If we want to talk about it, you have to call each other brother!"

Liu Zheng sighed and said again.

"Impossible, his surname is Lu and my surname is Ning, how can we be the same..."

Ning Fu was suddenly startled when he said this, as if he thought of something.

"Is he also..."

Ning Fu tentatively asked Liu Zheng.

"Yes, his great-grandfather's name was Lu Xuan. This Lu Xuan was Chai Xijie, the seventh son of Zhou Shizong. He was taken out of the palace by Minister Lu Yan and adopted him as his adopted son. His surname was changed to Lu. Lu Fangzheng

His descendants."

Liu Zheng introduced with a solemn expression.

"I see!"

Ning Fu nodded first, then thought of something and asked again.

"I heard that Lu Fang comes from a family of officials. Is his father also an official in the court?"

"Yes, his grandfather's name is Lu Ke, and he once served as Minister of Rites. His father's name is Lu Bu, and he is currently the Minister of Rites!"

Liu Zheng answered again.

"ruble?"

Ning Fu was stunned. This name sounded rich, so why not work in the Ministry of Household Affairs or the Third Department?

"The identity of the Lu family has long been made public. Ever since the Lu family entered the court as officials, the imperial court has relaxed its vigilance against them. The Lu family has also prospered in recent years. It is said that there are hundreds of people."

Liu Zheng finally introduced again.

"Look, this is the gap. If my great-grandfather had given up on restoring the country early, I might have hundreds of people!"

When Ning Fu heard this, the two sides stood together. He was now the only one. If something unexpected happened, their branch would be completely cut off.

"It's best if you think so. Now that your status is different, I'm really afraid that one day you will have any ambition to restore the country."

Liu Zheng warned again.

He had never been able to see through Ning Fu's thoughts, so he was always worried that the other party would return to the country and might drag their whole family along with him.

"Don't worry, I think the surname Ning is quite good. If I want to restore my country, I will have to change my surname to Mu Chai. There are still many unpleasant strokes."

Ning Fu said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Wrong! If you really want to restore the country, your surname will not be Chai, but Guo!"

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes at his unlearned but skilled son-in-law.

"Guo?"

Ning Fu blinked. Wasn't his ancestor Chai Rong, Emperor Shizong of Zhou Dynasty?

"That's stupid. Zhou Shizong is the adopted son of Zhou Taizu Guo Wei. He changed his surname to Guo a long time ago. Later, he inherited the throne under the name Guo Rong, but later..."

"What happened next?"

Ning Fu asked with great interest.

Liu Zheng looked around again and then lowered his voice to the lowest level.

"Later, when Chen Qiao rebelled and Song Taizu seized the throne, he ordered people to change Guo Rong's name to Chai Rong. As for the reason, you can think about it yourself!"

When Ning Fu heard this, he suddenly understood that Zhao Kuangyin had gained the country unfairly, and Zhou Shizong trusted him so much, but he chose to betray him.

Therefore, in order to weaken the legitimacy of Zhou Shizong's succession to the throne, Zhao Kuangyin changed Guo Rong's surname to Chai, telling the world that Chai Rong was not Guo Wei's biological son. Since the Chai family could inherit the Guo family's throne, of course the Zhao family could also seize Chai Rong.

The throne of the clan.

"Despicable!"

Ning Fu was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother: After a long time, my ancestor's surname was not Chai at all, but Guo. If I have a son in the future, can I name him Guo Jing?

"There is no way, who makes me the emperor!"

Liu Zheng shook his head. The more he read history, the more he became in awe of power.

"But if you succeed in restoring the country, then you will be the emperor. Whether your surname is Guo, Chai, or Ning, it all depends on your words!"

Liu Zheng also started joking at this time.

"Guo, Chai, Ning! Am I not a slave of the three surnames?"

Ning Fu secretly complained, there is Lu Bu and Murong Fu, why can't there be a normal protagonist script?

…

The formal appointment of martial arts came soon, and Zhang Dun specially summoned Ning Fu to the political affairs hall for questioning.

"When do you plan to take office, and what will be the first thing you do after taking office?"

Zhang Dun put down what he was doing and asked Ning again with great concern.

He is also very concerned about martial arts, not only because of Ning Fu, but also because martial arts is also part of the New Deal. In addition, Zhao Xu also personally inquires about martial arts, so there is no room for error in this matter!

"Hmm~, I think the name of martial arts is ugly, how about changing the name?"

Ning Fu pondered for a moment before speaking very seriously.

The name "Martial Arts" always reminds Ning Fu of martial arts novels, which is really too dramatic.

"What name do you want to change it to?"

Zhang Dun asked patiently.

"For example, it could be changed to Huangpu Military Academy or Army Officer Academy."

Ning Fu answered seriously. Although the script he got this time was not a good one, it was at least better than Lu Bu and Murong Fu.

"These are all weird names. If it doesn't work, just call it martial arts!"

Zhang Dun was obviously not as tasteful as Ning Fu, so he immediately vetoed it.

"If you don't change, you won't change. The first thing I do after taking office will definitely be to lay off people and recruit people. After all, talent is the foundation!"

Ning Fu stopped joking and answered seriously again.

"It's okay to recruit people, but it's not necessary to lay off people. There are only a few dozen people in the entire martial arts school. If we lay off people, how can we still have people?"

Zhang Dun asked puzzledly.

"Mr. Zhang, you have never been to a martial arts school. The students there are all a bunch of scholars, and they went to the martial arts school to try their luck to find a way out because they were not good at studying. There is no use for such students staying in the martial arts school."

Ning Fu said very frankly.

After Zhang Dun pondered for a moment, he raised his head again and asked, "Who do you want to recruit?"

"Students are recruited from the military. They are required to be under 18 years old. Those who are smart are given priority, and those who are literate are the best."

Ning Fu paused for a moment when he said this.

"As for the officials needed for martial arts, the instructors can recruit a group of experienced generals from the Forbidden Army who have been on the battlefield to serve as..."

"What? You want to recruit generals from the Forbidden Army? What about the Forbidden Army?"

Before Ning Fu could finish speaking, Zhang Dun interrupted.

"Don't worry. I didn't say to recruit high-level generals. I only recruited some low-ranking and older generals. They have come to the end of their career in the army. Instead of staying in the army, it is better to go to martial arts and learn what they learned on the battlefield.

Experience is passed on to students!”

Ning Fu immediately explained that the first thing he thought of was Wu Dutou, and there were many people like him in the Forbidden Army.

"That's okay. Let's discuss it with Zeng Bu later!"

Zhang Dun finally nodded after hearing this.

"In addition, I also need a heavyweight to take charge of the martial arts. After all, I am too young. On my own, I may not be able to suppress even the instructors recruited from the army."

Ning Fu spoke again.

"This is easy to handle. There are so many lieutenant generals in the capital. Cao family, Pan family, Gao family, which one do you want to find?"

Zhang Dun nodded and asked again.

"The generals are already rotten. If they are useful, why would the imperial court set up a martial arts school?"

Ning Fu said without mercy.

"You...you really dare to say that!"
