Chapter 291 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick
Upon receiving the news that Lu Yuzhou would arrive at the palace in the afternoon, Jun Heng immediately ordered to prepare a banquet in Jiushao Hall in the palace tonight to entertain the Emperor of Beiliang.

The last time the Zhou envoys came to Daliang, Jun Heng just found a random palace to hold a banquet;

Now that Lu Yuzhou has come, Jun Heng has inlaid nine hundred jade chimes in the dome, set up a fountain and a piano platform in front of the steps, and used Jiushao Hall, which is most suitable for night banquets, to hold the banquet. This is enough to show how much Jun Heng values ​​Lu Yuzhou.

Jun Heng had made all the preparations, the only thing he was afraid of was that there would be an accident on the way to Lu Yuzhou and he would not be able to arrive on time.

Although Lu Yuzhou was traveling in secret this time, he was the emperor after all, and it was impossible for him to keep the news of his departure completely unknown.

There are so many people eyeing the throne. The more people know the news, the greater the probability that Lu Yuzhou will encounter danger during his travels.

Fortunately, Lu Yuzhou arrived safely in the evening. Jun Heng breathed a sigh of relief and personally came out to welcome him.

Jun Heng had known for a long time that Lu Yuzhou was only sixteen years old, but it was not until he saw Lu Yuzhou in person that he intuitively realized that at the age of sixteen, Lu Yuzhou was actually still a child.

At the same time, he also admired Lu Yuzhou’s ability and courage.

Every emperor is the winner in the fight for the throne. It is not easy for Lu Yuzhou to survive in such an environment at such a young age.

As an emperor, he was truly courageous and brave to ride alone from Beiliang to Daliang on horseback.

The longer one serves as an emperor, the more he values ​​his life. If Jun Heng were asked to do this, he would never dare to do it.

Of course, these were not enough to make Jun Heng so enthusiastic about Lu Yuzhou. The most important thing was that after Lu Yuzhou recovered from his illness, he completely took over Beiliang.

Lu Yuzhou’s policy is peaceful development. As soon as he took over Beiliang, he sent a letter to Daliang, saying that Beiliang would never take the initiative to wage war against Daliang.

During the period when Lu Feng was in charge of the government, news often came from Beiliang about cooperation with other countries.

Sometimes it was the Zhou Kingdom, sometimes it was the Ping Kingdom…Beiliang had always been eyeing Daliang because of its poor geographical location and the cold and barren environment all year round.

And Daliang had been hit by floods in the south and drought in the north for several years in a row. The people themselves could not even get enough food to eat, let alone provide for Daliang’s army.

During that period, Daliang was plagued by external and internal troubles. Whenever Jun Heng thought about these things, he would be so worried that he couldn’t sleep all night.

Changing the emperor of Beiliang is actually a huge change for Daliang. The peace brought by Lu Yuzhou is crucial to the development of both countries.

This is why Jun Heng values ​​Lu Yuzhou so much. He is afraid that his negligence will cause a rift between the two countries.

The first thing Lu Yuzhou and Jun Heng talked about after they met was trade between the two countries.

The north is cold, and the production of vegetables and fruits is far less than that of Daliang. Even most of the time, supplies such as rice and flour are not sufficient.

Lu Yuzhou hopes to establish a cooperative relationship with Daliang, with Daliang supplying vegetables, fruits, rice and flour to Beiliang, and Beiliang supplying ice, animal skins, meat and the like to Daliang.

Jun Heng governs the world with benevolence as the main principle, and he couldn’t be more in favor of Lu Yuzhou’s strategy of peaceful development.

The banquet was already prepared. Due to time constraints, Lu Yuzhou and Jun Heng only had a brief chat today before preparing to go to the banquet.

However, even though they only chatted for a few brief sentences, Jun Heng already praised Lu Yuzhou highly in his heart.

Because Lu Yuzhou is outstanding, not only in appearance, but also in conversation and his views on governing the world.

Jun Heng felt that Lu Yuzhou was not a sixteen-year-old boy at all, but a calm and composed middle-aged man.

Although Lu Yuzhou is still a teenager, Jun Heng predicts that within a few years, Lu Yuzhou will definitely grow up to be a figure like Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang. Jun Heng feels more and more that he and Lu Yuzhou get along very well, and after chatting with Lu Yuzhou for so long, Jun Heng feels that he has become a lot younger.

Before the banquet started, Jun Heng pulled Lu Yuzhou aside and said that he wanted to become sworn brothers with him no matter what.

Being an emperor is the loneliest profession in the world. There are not many opportunities to meet a colleague like Lu Yuzhou who can talk to you. Jun Heng wants to seize this opportunity.

Lu Yuzhou did not refuse. Jun Heng was a good man. It was much better for emperors to become brothers than to send women out to marry.

Lu Yuzhou is of noble status, Jun Heng’s dinner was very grand, and the people who came were all people of noble status.

In addition to the first-rank officials, several princes who were already involved in political affairs were also at the banquet.

Jun Heng has already sworn brotherhood with Lu Yuzhou, so there is no need for Daliang and Beiliang to have a marriage alliance, and the unmarried princesses in the palace do not need to attend this banquet.

Apart from the leader of the women’s army, Ji Chenxing was almost the only woman attending the banquet.

Ji Chenxing was wearing a gorgeous purple dress and sitting not far from Jun Heng.

This seat is for people with the status of a prince, and it is very close to Jun Jingrui, Jun Jingxing and their group.

Today, Ji Chenxing came mainly to see Lu Yuzhou and did not focus his attention on other people. Naturally, he did not notice that Jun Jingrui was also wearing a purple dress.

On the contrary to Jun Jingrui, Jun Jingrui had already noticed Ji Chenxing when Ji Chenxing entered Jiushao Hall.

“Look, the clothes the princess is wearing are the same color as mine.” Jun Jingrui said happily to Zhuge Tong who was following behind him.

“I remember that in the world over there, there is a saying called…couple outfits? Do you think they look similar?”

Zhuge Tong did not say anything, but just nodded lightly, and then began to observe the surrounding environment.

His behavior was indeed somewhat unethical, and even seemed to show that he did not take Jun Jingrui seriously.

But Jun Jingrui was not angry, because Zhuge Tong’s identity was different from that of ordinary followers.

Zhuge Tong is a talented person that Jun Jingrui had just discovered from the people in recent days.

Those who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms know that when Liu Bei was looking for wise men, Sima Hui said: “If you can get one of the two, Crouching Dragon or Phoenix Chick, you can pacify the world.”

The Sleeping Dragon mentioned here is Zhuge Liang, and the Phoenix Chick is Pang Tong.

The latter two both surrendered to Liu Bei, but it was a pity that Pang Tong died early and they were unable to shine together.

A few days ago, Jun Jingrui and Jun Jingxing went out together. When they were walking on the road, they were blocked by two people who were fighting with each other.

Jun Jingrui originally wanted to drag them away and beat them to death, but when Jun Jingxing asked, he found out that one of them was named Zhuge Tong.

This name is very interesting, with both part of Sleeping Dragon and part of Phoenix Chick, which made Jun Jingrui very interested in him.

Wolong and Fengchu are both very smart people, and Jun Jingrui is currently lacking one of them.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Jun Jingrui asked Zhuge Tong some questions.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Tong really made him see the light.
