When Fang Zeduan saw Zheng Zuoyang coming out, he was busy gesturing. Zheng Zuoyang nodded and followed him to the side hall.
Fang Zeduan sent his servants out and brewed a pot of Biluochun himself. He first poured a cup of tea for Zheng Zuoyang, and then poured a cup for himself.
"This journey has been really hard for Mr. Zheng," Fang Zeduan said with a grateful face. "In the past, Mr. Zheng escorted his daughter to Beijing to report to the imperial court. Now it is Mr. Zheng who escorts his grandson to Beijing. I am really... ah! I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. From now on After that, Mr. Zheng is my family member.”
"Thank you Uncle Fang for your love. I have no father or mother. Over the years, I have no relatives except the general and brothers. Now I have Uncle Fang as a family member. I am really grateful." Zheng Zuoyang got up in a hurry and gave Fang Zeduan a deep bow. , "Uncle, please accept my nephew's bow!"
"Okay, okay, get up! Get up!" Fang Zeduan's eyes were red and he was so busy helping Zheng Zuoyang up. It is said that people's hearts gradually change, and he really likes this young man. He immediately said to Zheng Zuoyang, "From now on, you will be here next to me." Please stay in my house. Externally, you are still regarded as a guest in my house. Internally, you are my nephew and Zhenli’s brother.”
"Yes, thank you uncle," Zheng Zuoyang said with a smile, "The general also means the same. The capital is not a pure land. My uncle is new here, so there must be a suitable person in the house. Besides, this junior is also willing to continue to harass my uncle's family. ”
Fang Zeduan nodded: "I didn't expect that the Lord would think so thoughtfully and appropriately."
Zheng Zuoyang took a sip of tea and said: "The general has always been very concerned about his uncle's family. This time Zhenli entered the capital, it was all handled by the general, so that no news would leak along the way and cause trouble. After entering the capital, the general also took care of it. Stop driving at the most appropriate situation to achieve maximum results.”
"I know it all in my heart. I'm afraid that my appointment as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is also due to the Lord's contribution." Fang Zeduan said.
Zheng Zuoyang said hurriedly: "The general has always appreciated my uncle's talent and has always been aggrieved by my uncle. Now, taking advantage of the lingering heat of the Prince Consort case, the general has helped my uncle become the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Only then can he be worthy of his intellectual talent."
Fang Zeduan smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that this intellectual talent has to rely on the blood of my daughter to be reused. It's really ironic."
Zheng Zuoyang patted Fang Zeduan's hand and sighed: "Uncle, don't feel too bad. In recent years, the six departments have been controlled by powerful people from aristocratic families. This time, it is not easy to squeeze out Concubine Li's brother and push uncle to the throne." ”
"The clans are divided and power is divided, which brings disaster to the country and the people!" Fang Zeduan shook his head and sighed.
Zheng Zuoyang also sighed: "In such a general environment, if the people do not think about politics and the people do not fight to the death, if things go on like this, Dali's century-old foundation will be destroyed sooner or later."

The Double Ninth Festival in the 24th year of Jiasheng.
Shoukang Palace.
Lu Zhishan and Mu Nanzhi got up early. As usual, they were going into the palace to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.
But no one expected that the prince Lu Zhiyue, who had not been seen for a long time, would also show up.
As soon as Lu Zhishan entered the Shoukang Palace, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. As expected, Lu Zhiyue took the initiative to greet them and respectfully saluted Lu Zhishan and Mu Nanzhi: "I'm going to greet my brother and sister-in-law."
Lu Zhishan and Mu Nanzhi were both shocked, but their expressions did not reveal it. They immediately said: "Prince, please get up quickly."
