Lu Luo thought of how to repay Yan Xun's favor, and his heart fell to the ground.

She began to keep an eye on the iron-smelting industry.

If the iron-smelting industry of this era could have made bronze pipes that could withstand the pressure of projectiles and gunpowder, many problems could have been solved.

"Do you like the horse that General Yan sent?" Wen Lexi suddenly asked.

Yan Xun's horse had been in the courtyard of the Wen family for a long time, but his uncle suddenly mentioned it, so he naturally had something to say.

"I like it very much." Lu Luo smiled, "Look at that horse, it is much taller than ordinary horses, and its hair is soft and shiny, and it is very beautiful." ”

"You can ride a horse?" Wen Lexi asked again, "If you don't know, my uncle will teach you." After a while, let's go to Lin Yuan to ride a horse. ”

Lu Luo smiled and said repeatedly: "I can ride, uncle"

Wen Lexi was a little surprised: "Have you studied?" ”

"Learned." Lu Luo said with a smile.

Wen Lexi asked Lu Luo again where she studied, and Lu Luo casually made up a reason to prevaricate.

After speaking for a while, it always revolves around Yan Xun.

Lu Luo speculated in her heart about the intention of her uncle's words, she thought: "In the harem, there is a Queen Mother of the Yan Family, a Queen Mother of the Nie Family, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not harmonious, and they have to fight openly and secretly. The court was controlled by Wenchen, and the Wenchen faction relied on the Yan clan and the Nie clan on the other. Yan Xun is a disciple of the Yan family, but his uncle is closer to the Empress Dowager Nie and the Nie family, does he want to tell me any questions about Yan Xun? ”

In today's court, the emperor is young, the cabinet has the power to vote, and the eunuch has the power to approve red. The little emperor does not have real power at the moment.

Under normal circumstances, there are too many emperors' recitals, and the cabinet will read them first, and then reply at the end of the recitals, similar to summarizing the statements, what the recitals say, how to deal with them, etc., which is called "vote drafting".

The emperor did not need to look at the recitals in detail, but only needed to look at the "votes" of the cabinet, which were the comments of those summaries. Write in red pen whether you agree or not. This is the "batch red".

The emperor has a lot of concertans to approve every day, and he is sick, or he has something to do, or there are too many concerts. handed it over to the eunuch who was the most confidant around him. Help "batch red".

This task. It has always been the eunuch who holds the seal of the eunuch.

Of course, the emperor was young and did not have the judgment to approve red. The power of approving red fell all on the palm print eunuch.

Therefore, if the cabinet wants to control the government, it must collude with the eunuchs who criticize the red.

In the past, Wen Lexi was loyal to the first emperor, and the cabinet people scolded him, but he was indifferent, only loyal to the first emperor, and the court was not controlled by the cabinet and the eunuchs who held the seal.

Now, the first assistant of the cabinet wants to tie up Wen Lexi, but unfortunately Wen Lexi does not occupy the first assistant's team, he is only loyal to the Empress Dowager Nie.

The current cabinet chief surnamed Hu is the son-in-law of the Yan family.

There has always been no law or ancestral precept on the number of people in the cabinet, and it generally depends on the requirements of the first assistant.

Some of them have many first assistants, and there are seven scholars; Some of the first assistants are capable on their own and don't need too many helpers, so there are only three of them.

In the current cabinet, there are four people, of which Shoufu is the son-in-law of the Yan family and the sister-in-law of the Empress Dowager; A scholar is Yan Xun's second uncle, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager; Another scholar was Marquis Nie, the father of the Empress Dowager Nie; The other is neutral, and on the surface, neither the Yan family nor the Nie family take refuge.

The Yan family wants to be happy, and so is the Nie family.

Shoufu is a member of the Yan family, and the eunuch with the palm seal must be from the Nie family, otherwise the entire government will be biased towards the Yan family, which is why the Empress Dowager Nie hurriedly summoned Wen Lexi to Beijing.

Lu Luo's marriage, my uncle didn't know what he would think.

He suddenly became angry in advance, which naturally had something to do with the government.

"Your Majesty wants to learn to ride and shoot, and the Queen Mother agreed, and asked Shoufu and I to recommend a master. I think General Yan is very good, what do you think? Wen Lexi asked Lu Luo.

Last time Lu Luo said that he was going to the Ordnance Bureau, his uncle would wonder if she was used by Yan Xun, so he tested her with words.

Lu Luo didn't like such a misunderstanding, so he poked it open directly, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I don't like General Yan." The marriage was set in a hurry and weird, he suspected that it was an ulterior motive, and I would withdraw from the marriage. It's just that General Yan gave me a horse, which is a rare treasure, and he insisted on refusing to take it back, so I had to think of another gift for him.

This is an exchange of courtesies, and they do not owe each other. I have seen the fire gun in the south, and I want to improve it and give it to General Yan as my reward. I don't know if the Ordnance Bureau is already doing it, if the Ordnance Bureau has done it, it won't be a new thing, so I want to go and see it, it has nothing to do with General Yan. I don't care if he is His Majesty's master or not. ”

Wen Lexi was stunned.

Lu Luo thought that her uncle would ask her how to improve the firecracker, but her uncle asked, "You want to quit your family?" ”

Regarding the matter of retiring relatives, Wen Lexi and Wen's have the same opinion. At the beginning, Wen's family quit his family, but later he married badly, and Wen Lexi also regretted it.

knew that his niece and then encountered idiots such as Lu Qijun, so he should have been tougher at that time, and the Wu family was not allowed to withdraw from his family, and he arrested the old man who made trouble.

Wen Lexi didn't like Lu Qijun very much, if it weren't for Lu Luo and Wen's family, he would have sent Lu Qijun far away to poor rural areas such as Guangnan West Road.

The Wen family has no brothers, and their father is not in good health, except for Lu Qijun, their mother and daughter have no other glory.

Lu Qijun was exiled to Guangnan West Road again, so who are Lu Luo and Wen?

They are just nephews and granddaughters of eunuchs, which is very embarrassing.

Lu Qijun is in Beijing, and they are at least the wives and daughters of Beijing officials. Some families are willing to associate with them, and they can also deceive themselves.

Lu Qijun is like a fig leaf, covering the name of Wen's niece as a eunuch, and providing their mother and daughter with the identity of "Beijing official dependents", so that they can walk in Beijing.

"Beijing officials" still have weight in the minds of the common people.

With Lu Qijun first, Wen Lexi didn't dare to take the risk of letting Lu Luo quit her family, what if she also met a very bad person in the future?

"Yes, I'm going to quit." Lu Luo said with a smile, "Uncle, General Yan's courtship is unreasonable, and I am always worried that they will have a back-up." ”

Wen Lexi frowned.

"Don't tell my mother about this, my mother will definitely disagree." Lu Luo said again.

Wen Lexi knows that you can't force your child to do anything, which will cause your child to rebel. Therefore, Wen Lexi did not say his true thoughts, he just said: "Be cautious in this matter." ”

Lu Luo nodded.

A few days later, Wen Lexi went home and told Lu Luo that the little emperor had chosen Yan Xun as his master and taught him martial arts, riding and archery.

Yan Xun took on the title of "Emperor Master" again, and his identity was suddenly hot.

In this way, Yan Xun is even busier, in addition to dealing with the affairs of the military department, he also has to take the children to play.

It's just that this child is the master, he can't be beaten or scolded, it's not easy to bring it up, and Yan Xun is also anxious.

He didn't have time to come to Lu Luo again.

On the first day of the winter month, Lu Luo took her compass and went to the Chen family in the Guangdehou Mansion.

She was greeted at the door by the housekeeper beside the old lady, and she led Lu Luo directly to the old lady's courtyard.

This time, there were no female dependents, only the old lady and Chen Rongfeng. After the mother-in-law led the way, she also stepped aside and closed the door gently.
