Li Hongyi said coldly: "Father, you have tolerated the Feng brothers again and again, but they don't know how to thank the Holy Grace, according to Erchen, these two brothers are born unrighteous people, even if you treat them well, you can't influence them." ”

Li Jing shook his head and sighed: "Feng Yansi can obviously make so many majestic and elegant words, why is he unwilling to be a loyal person?" ”

"Brother Huang, now that we have to prepare for the Northern Expedition, we really can't leave any troubles." Li Jingsui rarely agreed with Li Hongyi.

Li Jing slowly sat down on the dragon chair, and after muttering for a long time, he said loudly: "Zhang Degong, let the people of the 'Chonglou' do something to Feng Yanting, don't move Feng Yansi for the time being." ”

"Yes."

After the discussion, Li Hongyi walked out of the palace quickly, and there were two groups of people waiting outside the palace gate, one of which was a larger group of people, holding a gorgeous carriage.

Li Hongyi walked towards a small group of people, these people seemed to be all strong, they were Li Hongyi's henchmen, and he said to one of his subordinates:

"Let our people prepare, Chonglou is about to make a move on Feng Yanting, if they miss, we will do it, and tell Liu Xiang that we must not miss again this time."

"Yes."

……

Outside the county office, Lu Yuan is receiving orders.

In front of him stood several officials, and the officer in the center spread out the holy decree and said aloud:

"Under the door, she county in the south of the Yangtze River, changing with each passing day, the county order Lu Yuan, set things right, make every effort to govern the country, from now on, Shengshe County is Hui'an Mansion, and the county decree Lu Yuan is Hui'an Mansion Yin, hoping that it will abide by his heart and live up to his grace."

Although Lu Yuan has never eaten pork, he has still seen pigs run, and he bowed his head and raised his hands to say like the person who received the order on TV: "Minister Lu Yuan received the order, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

The next thing is to go through the handover procedures, Lu Yuan himself only needs to change the official certificate, and leave the rest to his subordinates to do, he walked slowly to the back house, and his subordinates congratulated him as if he didn't hear it.

All the way to his bedroom, he lay on the bed, his eyes looked at the ceiling, he always felt a sense of unreality, this feeling was very similar to when he first came into this world, but not so strong.

Obviously, he was promoted and his wish came true, but he felt as if he had lost something.

At this time, he found that there was an extra figure beside the bed, naturally it was Lu Yutong, he sat up suddenly, looked at the little girl and smiled: "Yutong, my brother has been promoted, are you happy?" ”

"I'm happy when my brother is happy."

Lu Yuan picked her up and put her on his lap, and suddenly heard Sun Shaoqing's voice in the hall: "Brother Yuan, are you there?" ”

Lu Yuan put Lu Yutong on the ground, touched her little head, and walked towards the lobby.

I saw that Sun Shaoqing's face was flushed and she looked excited, and after seeing Lu Yuan, she pounced and said happily: "Brother Yuan, we did it!" ”

"yes, we made it." Lu Yuan patted her on the back and smiled.

After a while, Qin Youyu and Qin Quan also came, and Lu Yuan said, "Yu'er, go and inform the officials of the last assembly and let them wait in the study!" ”

……

戌時, Zhangfu.

Zhang Ziyi was teaching Lin Renzhao to practice calligraphy, when suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

"Renzhao, you practice by yourself for a while."

She explained, and went out of the room, just in time to see her father, Uncle Ji, younger brother and husband coming back together, she stepped forward to salute Ji Yan and asked, "Dad, eldest brother, why is it so late today?" ”

Ma Kongming laughed and said: "Today is a good day, the news of the imperial court's promotion to the government is here, Lord Lu immediately convened an official discussion on meritorious deeds, and his father-in-law was praised by Lord Lu as Shaoyin, and he is a fifth grade!" ”

Zhang Ziyi was surprised and delighted, and was about to ask again, but heard Zhang Dezhong say: "Come into the house and talk." His brow furrowed as he spoke.

Zhang Ziyi felt slightly strange and followed in.

After sitting down in the lobby, Zhang Dezhong sent his subordinates away and said slowly: "The old man didn't expect this matter to progress so quickly. ”

"This is the effect of everyone working together, Lord Lu has a lot of talents, and meritorious service will be rewarded, so everyone will naturally work hard." Ma Kongming said with a smile.

Zhang Ziyi was more interested in personnel changes and asked, "Is Daddy really promoted to Shaoyin?" ”

Ji Yan took out a piece of paper, this is his habit, and he will record the key information after the meeting.

"This is the main personnel change, you can see for yourself, niece." He handed the note over.

Zhang Ziyi took a look and saw that it was written: "Zhang Dezhong is Shaoyin, Qin Yu is the general of the government soldiers, Qin Quan and Jin Yuanwu are the deputy generals, Hou Kaishan is the judge (Zheng Liupin), and Zhanyuan is the Tuiguan (from the sixth grade)." ”

"The nephew was sent to Kaihua as a county magistrate." Ji added that less important appointments he did not record, including his own.

"That's good, we grew up in Kaihua, it should be familiar to you, aren't you happy?" Zhang Ziyi looked at Zhang Du and asked, she noticed that her brother's face was not very good since he came back.

"It's a good thing, but my father doesn't allow me to take revenge on the county lieutenant surnamed Niu, you say it's not angry." Zhang Du snorted.

They were forced out of civilization by Niu County Lieutenant at the beginning, so it's no wonder that his younger brother's face is not good-looking.

Zhang Dezhong reprimanded with a straight face: "Good man, don't worry about those things that are rotten grains, this is a difficult time, you have to put your mind on governing the county, as for other things, let him pass!" ”

Hard times? Zhang Du was a little puzzled as to why his father made such remarks, now should be the best time.

Zhang Ziyi followed and persuaded: "Brother, what my father said is right, if you and your father abuse public power as soon as they become officials, others will definitely gossip, if Lord Lu knows, I don't know what to think of our Zhang family?" ”

"Your sister is more sensible than you!" Zhang Dezhong said lightly.

Zhang Du lowered his head and was silent.

Zhang Ziyi asked her father again: "Father, you were a non-grade official before, and you were suddenly promoted to the fifth grade, will the court agree?" ”

Ji Yan explained: "According to the regulations left by the first emperor back then, the county was promoted to the government, and the officials of the county all had merit, so as long as the officials played by Lord Lu were originally county officials, the imperial court would generally not refuse to reward their merits, not to mention that Brother Dezhong was originally a famous Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was quite famous among the scholars, and the court would not object." ”

Although Zhang Ziyi had no expression on her face, she was extremely happy in her heart, she knew that her father had always had a career and could be so reused by Lord Lu, I believe he must be very happy in his heart, but when she looked at her father, she found that he was still frowning, Zhang Ziyi asked, "Father, are you unhappy?" ”

Zhang Dezhong didn't reply, he pondered for a long time, and asked Ji Yan: "Brother Ji, do you remember that Brother Li once said that Feng Yanting had different aspirations?" ”

Ji Yan knew that he was talking about Li Ziqian, and said in a deep voice: "I remember that he was invited by Ning Guohou to be a staff member at that time, but he refused, and he said this after he came back. ”

"He is not mistaken, the population of this county is growing so fast, in addition to everyone working together, in my opinion, Feng Yanting is also secretly exerting his strength." Zhang Dezhong said slowly.

"I also had a suspicion, Lord Lu is Ning Guohou's confidant, and he must know about this, why did you suddenly mention this?" Ji Yan asked.

Ma Kongming didn't react after hearing this, Zhang Du and Zhang Ziyi were a little shocked in their hearts, and they both thought, "Could it be that Lord Lu is ready to rebel with Ning Guohou?" ”

"Originally, because of Feng Yanting, I didn't plan to be an official under Lord Lu, do you know why I changed my mind?" Zhang Dezhong asked.

Ji Yan shook his head.

"Do you remember some of the things you said when you last mentioned Lord Lu's meeting with me?"

Ji Yan nodded and said, "Remember, after you heard it at the time, you immediately went to find him." ”

Zhang Ziyi was puzzled when she heard it, and she didn't know why her father suddenly talked about these things, so she only heard Zhang Dezhong nod and said: "Yes, when I learned from your words that he was meritocracy and not jealous of men and women, I suspected that he had great ambitions, and later came to the door to test it, which confirmed my guess." ”

Zhang Ziyi was stunned, Lord Lu actually wanted to rebel? She looked at Ma Kongming, but saw his disapproving look.

Ji Yan was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "I am also aware of it. ”

"If he just had different ambitions, I wouldn't have served him, but after some conversation, the old man found that he was a rare visionary master, like Feng Yanting, most of them only thought about how to take over the world, and did not think about how to rule the world, and he is different, so even if he wants to rebel, the old man will follow him!"

Zhang Ziyi and her younger brother on the side glanced at each other and looked at each other.

"It's pretty much the same, when the old man saw you suddenly mention this topic, he thought you were going to resign." Ji Yan glared.

"But today's reaction from the imperial court suddenly gave me an ominous premonition."
