Chapter 245 Flattery (Part 2)
Luwang County, Chu State, Liocheng.
The staff of King Lu in the recruitment hall were sitting in a circle around King Lu's forest, drinking spring tea and talking loudly. A young man came from outside the hall, holding a letter of greeting in his hand, and saluted King Lu.
: "Your Majesty, there is a young man visiting from outside, requesting to see the Prince. He claims to be the disciple of Mr. Dongfang of Prince Sheng's Mansion, and his name is Mo Ruxin."
King Lu, who was nearly fifty years old, smiled and said to the staff: "Prince Sheng has no one under his command, except Dongfang Yu, who is an eyesore and an eyesore. That Dongfang Yu's reputation has almost surpassed that of Prince Sheng himself, and I don't know that he
What are you doing as a disciple in my recruitment hall?"
The first-in-command said: "Your Majesty, that Dongfang Yu has always been cunning, especially if he wants to install Prince Sheng's spy in Prince Lu's Mansion."
Another staff member shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, since Dongfang Yu is cunning, he will not blatantly send his apprentice to be an informant. If he sends an informant, why should he reveal his identity?"
Another staff member agreed: "What Li Gong said is very true. However, I only heard that Dongfang Yu had a son, but not that he had any apprentices. We might as well invite his apprentices to come in and talk about it. Dongfang Yu is here
He is very talented and learned, and it is said that he is even more talented and knowledgeable than Prince Sheng. If this person is really his apprentice and is willing to serve our prince, he will be a great help."
Lu Wanglin nodded slightly, took the invitation from the boy, and ordered: "Invite him in."
King Lu opened the greeting card and saw an eloquent ode, with four characters and four characters, cadence and elegant handwriting, which was extraordinary. The ode listed various heroes and kings since the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, and cursed them one by one.
He called the other six kings of Chu except King Lu, and the scolding was so concise and appropriate that King Lu couldn't help but smile. At the end of the poem, he praised King Lu highly and said, "Only King Lu, I wish to
Long Attendant".
King Lu was overjoyed and thought: "It turns out that Dongfang Yu, who is known as the number one counselor in the Chu Kingdom, can't even keep his apprentice! Rumors say that King Sheng is going to send troops to six counties to unify the Chu territory, but the outstanding people in his mansion
Staff, haven’t you come to seek refuge with me?”
Prince Lu was reading the ode in gorgeous handwriting again with great pleasure, when he heard a clear Chu voice saying: "The villain has no heart, please pay homage to the prince!"
King Lu looked up and saw a young man in white clothes wearing a sapphire blue belt standing handsomely in front of the staff, with a long sword hanging from his waist. He was clean and neat, with handsome features. King Lu was very happy to see that this young man looked so good.
, so he asked straight to the point: "Why did Master Mo leave Prince Sheng's Mansion and come to join me?"
Mo Ruxin looked directly at King Lu with clear eyes, and her tone was very sincere: "Your Majesty, although I have studied martial arts and military art with Master Dongfang for three years, I know very well that King Sheng has won Master Dongfang, but he has no courage.
He has no plan, is at the mercy of others, and has no future. The villain is bent on making great achievements, serving the Ming Lord, unifying the land of Chu, and reopening Zhaohuang. How can he be buried in Prince Sheng's palace? Looking at the land of Chu, can the prince think of anyone better than you?
Am I more suitable to be the Ming Lord who can unify Chu Land? If so, the prince might as well inform the villain, and the villain will immediately go and seek refuge!"
King Lu laughed loudly. After laughing, he stood up and walked to Mo Ruxin and said: "Young Master Mo speaks straightforwardly, and I like it very much! I have opened a 'recruitment hall' to recruit talents, and the ones I have recruited are those who are as civilized and martial as Mr. Mo."
Good for both worlds, a brave and resourceful scholar!"
Mo Ruxin smiled slightly, with deep meaning in her eyes, and said: "The prince has given you such a reward, but I don't deserve it. However, I do have thousands of plans in mind, and I will use them all for you!"
King Lu asked curiously: "Oh? Mr. Mo's words are true?"
Mo Ru said in his heart: "It's true. The green is better than the blue. The villain learns from Dongfang Yu, and the military strategy is of course not a problem. Good birds choose trees to roost. If they meet the master of the Ming Dynasty, and there is a villain to work for him, why worry about it?
If the environment is not unified, Zhaohuang will not be able to bloom?"
King Lu immediately ordered: "Come here, give me a seat, enjoy tea, and serve refreshments!" He then said to Mo Ruxin: "Young Master Mo may as well drink tea and chat slowly with me and the ministers, and explain in detail how to do it.
Unify Chu and reopen Zhaohuang." Then he sat back in his seat.
However, Mo Ruxin did not sit down, but raised her chin, looked around with disdain at all the staff in the talent recruitment hall, raised her eyebrows and said to Prince Lu: "Your Majesty, Prince Sheng is neither brave nor wise, and makes many mistakes, but there is only one."
Something was done absolutely right.”
King Lu asked: "What's the matter?"
Mo Ruxin said: "If this villain says it, I hope all the elders will not be angry."
King Lu said: "You can just say it."
Mo Ruxin said: "Prince Sheng has a keen eye for pearls. Among the many staff, he only believes in, uses and praises the villain's master Dongfang Yu. Although Dongfang Yu's reputation is gradually overshadowing Prince Sheng himself, Prince Sheng
He is not petty, but he is as meritocratic as ever. The villain's master is Wen Tao and Wu Lue. Over the years, if King Sheng had not tried his best to keep Dongfang Yu, King Sheng's county would have been divided up by the princes, King Yu and King Li. "
Li's staff interrupted unhappily: "Master Mo, what you are saying is that Prince Sheng only needs one Dongfang Yu, and our prince only needs one of you?"
Mo Ruxin nodded and said bluntly: "In fact, it is an emergency to capture the city and rebuild the unification. In an emergency, of course, emergency measures are needed. It is good to be open to all rivers, but there are many people with mixed opinions and different thoughts.
, there are endless debates, and it is often difficult to seize the perfect opportunity. With all due respect to the villain, the prince is already nearly fifty years old, so the opportunity to reopen Zhaohuang cannot be missed, and it will never come back. The prince is much wiser and wiser than Prince Sheng, villain
He is also more intelligent and alert than the villain’s master. If the prince doesn’t reuse the villain, he will miss a good opportunity!”
King Lu was filled with passion when he heard this, and he said smartly: "Since Mr. Mo wants to let me, the king, use you alone, are you willing to tell me your 'thousands of strategies' only to me?"
Mo Ruxin nodded and said, "Your Majesty Shengming."
King Lu stood up and walked towards Mo Ruxin and said to all his staff: "Masters, I have always believed in 'listening together and you will understand', so I will never use one person like King Sheng. However, since Mr. Mo has come all the way, I will
You have to listen to his ingenious ideas about not wanting to be exposed to outsiders!" Then he said to Mo Ruxin: "Master Mo, please follow me to the palace to talk about it."
A smile appeared in the corners of Mo Ruxin's eyes, and then she lowered her head and followed Prince Lu out of the recruitment hall. When she saw the carriage of Prince Lu's palace waiting outside the hall, she said to Prince Lu: "Your Majesty, the sun is shining brightly today. I would like to follow you."
Walking back home, you can use this bright sunshine to illuminate the dark plot in the villain's chest."
King Lu smiled and said, "What Mr. Mo said is interesting! He walks very well."
From the Talent Recruitment Hall to Prince Lu's Mansion, one needs to walk through several quiet residential alleys. The guards of Prince Lu's Mansion followed Prince Lu and Mo Ruxin far behind, but they disappeared one by one. Prince Lu was very excited after hearing what Mo Ruxin said.
He didn't notice the disappearing guard behind him.
King Lu had already seen the back wall of his mansion and the pear tree with small white flowers blooming inside the wall. Suddenly, he felt a pain in the back of his head, his vision went dark, and he fell in front of Mo Ruxin.
