Lu Wenyuan was recuperated in the Fu Mansion for a few days, and when the wound healed and he could move around for a while, he went to the hall of the Ministry of Officials to take up his post. In the past half a month, the fact that he was beaten by the emperor with fifty court rods has already spread in the court, so as soon as it appeared, it attracted a lot of discussion among the officials of the ministry, some people only said that he was outspoken and daring, and he was a rare loyal minister, but some people said that he was not self-sufficient, and it was really rare that he did not lose his head...... After fighting like this, Lu Wenyuan saw that there were thousands of shapes in everyone's eyes, and he was really about to become a figure on the cusp.

However, Lu Wenyuan didn't know it, and only did his part diligently every day. The position of the chief is the lower official position in the entire official court, so in addition to official duties, it is common to be sent to do miscellaneous tasks such as sweeping the floor and wiping the table, serving tea and pouring water. Lu Wenyuan has a lot of popularity, and he is also a newcomer, so naturally some people look at him unpleasantly, and do everything possible to exclude him and send him to do all kinds of chores. Lu Wenyuan did everything well and did not complain. On weekdays, he also abides by his duty to interact with people, never deliberately alienated, and is not overly intimate, and even occasionally meets Fu Qiantang, it is only limited to the etiquette between superiors and subordinates, and there is no overly familiar behavior, so after more than a month, those who look at him unpleasantly can't grasp the handle, and they have gradually stopped.

On this day, when Lu Wenyuan was transcribing official documents, he suddenly found that a promotion order was not in order. This promotion order is to promote a local magistrate to the criminal department squire, from the seventh grade to the second grade, it can really be said to soar, but the strange thing is that this magistrate does not have any significant merits, and his political achievements are not outstanding, and Lu Wenyuan remembers that the vacancy of the criminal department squire was originally reserved for a criminal department named Zhao Yongning, just because he has won the first place in the year-end assessment of officials for several years, and he should be rewarded. But now that this position has been inexplicably taken by a local magistrate, what about Zhao Yongning?

Lu Wenyuan didn't come up with a clue, and wanted to go to Fu Qian to ask, but Fu Qian happened to enter the palace to do something. Lu Wenyuan hesitated for a long time, so he had to run into the inner hall to ask Shen Wenbin in the Ministry of Officials.

Shen Wenbin is a decent person in this ministry, and in the past month, thanks to him and Fu Qianqian secretly protecting Lu Wenyuan, Lu Wenyuan's life in the ministry is not too sad. How do you know that Shen Wenbin read the promotion order, but only shook his head and said that this decree was issued by the emperor himself, even Master Fu Qian Fu can't question it, you have to copy it, don't care so much. Where was Lu Wenyuan willing to listen, the more he returned to his seat, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he turned out Zhao Yongning's performance appraisal record, took it together with the promotion order, and disappeared when he turned out of the lobby of the ministry.

Fu Qian came back from the palace to run errands, and Lu Wenyuan was not seen in the lobby of the Ministry of Officials, and he was wondering to himself, Shen Wenbin took the initiative to find it, and he talked about the ins and outs of the future in detail. Fu Qian panicked when he heard this, and only said that Lu Wenyuan must have entered the palace by himself to question the emperor, not to mention that he could not see the emperor, if he was intercepted by Fan Zhefu's men, he would have to settle the account on his own head as a scholar. Fu Qian was really anxious and angry, and when he slapped his thigh, he also chased out of the hall of the ministry.

said that during this period of time, Zhu Shiyang lived quite freely in the Forbidden City. It turned out that Gui Xi brought back a little boy from outside the palace a few days ago, this little boy is the son of a local official's family, fifteen years old, born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a graceful posture, which is the type that Zhu Shiyang likes, and is quite familiar with poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Zhu Shiyang's interest is the same, so he stayed by his side, accompanied by him every day, and wrote poems and drank after the upside down, stroked the piano and appreciated the paintings, which was really happy.

On the day when Lu Wenyuan entered the palace, Zhu Shiyang and the little prince had lunch, and they were laughing from the bedside, seeing that the love/desire was getting stronger, and they were about to do it*, but they heard Gui Xi raise his voice outside the door and reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Lu Wenyuan, the head of the Ministry of Officials, is here, saying that he wants to ask the Pope for something." ”

Zhu Shiyang was interrupted by someone on Xing's head, so he first saved a belly of fire, and when he heard that Lu Wenyuan was looking for him, he was so angry that he didn't have any interest at all, and roared in a thick voice: "What is he doing with me again, hasn't he been beaten enough?" The little boy was shrinking in his arms, trembling with fright from him, Zhu Shiyang also knew that he was out of shape, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hug him, comforting him with good words.

Gui Xi was outside the door for a long time and didn't know how to answer, but he heard Lu Wenyuan raise his voice and replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to report, please ask the emperor to see me." ”

Gui Xi was so strange that he couldn't even close his mouth, but this person was really bold, he had only been beaten last month, and he dared to come again this time, didn't he know that he was facing the emperor who could call him the head of the family with his fingers.

A month ago, he scolded himself as Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty and cursed himself for his early death.

Lu Wenyuan was kneeling on the edge of the door, Zhu Shiyang's kick was very strong, and the two door winds brought up rushed straight to him, he only dodged slightly, but Gui Xi was shocked, and knelt down with a plop and said: "The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry!"

Zhu Shiyang stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction he was facing: "Go and find Fan Zhefu for me! Let the idlers enter the palace again and again, I don't want to do it because I see that he is a cabinet scholar!" Gui Xi took the order and climbed to the ground.

Zhu Shiyang glared at Lu Wenyuan again: "You, if you have a fart, let it go, get out of it after you finish it!"

Lu Wenyuan had a calm and breezy face, seeing the emperor's thunder and anger, but his heart was not panicked, his hands were not shaking, he touched the promotion order from his arms, held it high above his head and said: "Your Majesty, this promotion order, but you gave it?"

Zhu Shiyang was just impatient, he gave countless orders every day, how did he know which one Lu Wenyuan was referring to, but he didn't bother to look at it, so he only said angrily: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Lu Wenyuan said: "Weichen wants to ask, this Liu De, the magistrate of Huzhou County in the edict, has mediocre political achievements during his tenure, and has no outstanding merits, why did the emperor promote him to five grades in a row and promote him to the squire of the criminal department?"

Zhu Shiyang was secretly taken aback, and said in his heart that what he said was actually this edict, so he hurriedly snatched it from his hand and took it in front of him to read it carefully.

It turned out that the local magistrate in this promotion order was the father of the little son in the palace, and he heard from somewhere that the current saint likes Longyang, and saw that his son was born well, so he moved the idea that the father is expensive by the son. It just so happened that Zhu Shiyang was quite high-spirited and didn't like folk things, but he preferred to hook up with the children of courtiers, so he always asked Guixi to look for them in the court. The local prefect paid for the relationship and took his son to the door, and spent a lot of money, and finally pushed his son to Zhu Shiyang's eyes, hoping that his son would fight for his anger and earn an official position for himself.

The little boy didn't care, he was still young, and his love had not yet opened, but when he saw Zhu Shiji's graceful and suave Yushu, and he was the son of heaven, he inevitably fell in love with it, so he moved the idea of staying in the palace for a long time. The little boy told Zhu Shiyang about this idea, and Zhu Shiyang was very happy, but because the little boy's father was a local magistrate, and he came to Beijing with his son this time, he didn't have a long-term place to stay, so he was afraid that he would have to go back in a few days, so he was always worried.

Zhu Shiyang thought about it, but he couldn't come up with a perfect way, so the little boy reminded him sideways, if he could move his father to Beijing official, wouldn't he be able to stay in the capital for a long time. Zhu Shiyang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly sent someone to find a roster of officials to take a closer look, and saw that the position of the waiter of the Criminal Department was free, and he couldn't take care of it so much for a while, so he drafted a decree on the spot, and promoted the father of the little boy to the waiter of the Criminal Department, and gave him a mansion in the capital, so that the little boy could stay by his side safely.

Zhu Shiyang's wishful thinking was played properly, and seeing that the edicts were all issued, it was a foregone conclusion, but Lu Wenyuan was killed halfway and found out the matter from the roots.
