The household department has caused a lot of discussion because of the contradiction between Ruan Jingnian, the lord of Shangshu, and Lu Shanchang, the right attendant, and the name Lu Zheng of the Lu family has been widely mentioned by officials at all levels.

At this time, the general administration department yamen was much more deserted than the household department, and the general administration department of the southern court was only a yamen in charge of documents, and the general political envoy and the deputy general political envoy could basically be said to be a pensioner.

Usually everyone comes to the Yamen, the main activities are cockfighting, gambling, bird walking, bragging, will pass the day and then receive a piece of the court's Yulu every month, after leaving the Yamen, you can get a decent picture!

After all, he is an official in the General Administration Department, and he has a top on his head, take Lu Qian as an example, Lu Qian and Lu Shanchang's father and son are officials in the same dynasty, this is a good story in the area of Yingtian Jiangning!

It's just that Lu Qian is also known for being old-fashioned and unsociable in the General Administration Department, he doesn't play anything that everyone plays on weekdays, and every day when he comes to the yamen, he directly locks himself in the house to read and write, entertaining himself alone, and basically does not interact with colleagues.

The surname of the general political envoy is Xin Mingqin, a person from the capital, and the Jiangnan ruler is not all the way. This person is different from Lu Qian, he likes to communicate with officials at all levels of the General Administration Department and mingle with everyone, so usually Lu Qian of the General Administration Department is an isolated existence.

Although Lu Qian has a good reputation and has raised a large number of doormen in Yingtian, the purpose of his doormen is not to pass through the political department and the yamen, he is hollowing out his mind to change the court, thinking that even if the official is demoted to one level, he also wants to go to the ruling side!

Today, Lu Qian came to the General Administration Department as usual, and what made him strange was that Xin Qin, who usually didn't have a good face for him, was waiting at the door of the yamen with a smile on his face.

"Lord Lu, are you here so early today?" Xin Chin said with a smile.

Lu Qian frowned slightly, a little suspicious in his heart, he didn't know which one Xin Qin was going to sing today, and immediately said, "Lord Xin came earlier!" ”

"Haha!" Xin Qin let out a long laugh and said, "Lord Lu, I had some misunderstandings about you before, and please don't take it to heart." Is Mr. Simon at the door? In the future, I can let Mr. Lu follow him! Around us people, where can there not be a few caring people, I, Xin Qin, am not such a rigid and inflexible person! ”

Xin Qin's words made Lu Qian's heart even more strange. The so-called Mr. Ximen is called Ximenye, and he is the number one doorman under Lu Qian, and Lu Qian does many things because Ximenye plans for him.

Lu Qian was very important to Ximenye, and he used to bring Ximenye with him when he came to the General Administration, but Xin Qin used the excuse that the yamen was important and the idle people should not enter in vain, and strictly forbade his officials to bring guests and servants, and Lu Qian almost fainted out of breath for this. But the official level crushed people to death, and Lu Qian could only admit it.

It's good today, Xin Qin's attitude has taken a 180-degree turn compared to before, and Lu Qian can't figure out his intentions, but since Xin Qin has opened the door for him to be convenient, Lu Qian even called Ximenye to the yamen, and the two locked up in the room again to "conspire".

Simon Ye was about forty years old, and he was born with big ears and an extraordinary demeanor. Although he was only a showman, Lu Qian didn't know him for long, and he introduced Ximenye as a confidant.

Ximenye's greatest advantage is that he is good at figuring out people's minds, only he knows what Lu Qian thinks in his heart, so he can always act in line with Lu Qian's intentions, and over time, Lu Qian will be inseparable from him.

In addition, Lu Qian is in charge of many things of the Lu family, these things are no matter how big or small, as long as Ximenye conspires for him, no matter how big the problem is, it can often be solved, which is also an important reason why Ximenye can become Lu Qian's number one doorman.

"Mr. Simon, there is something wrong with this Xin Qin today, he is courting me for no reason, what is his intention?" Lu Qian said.

Ximenye touched the mustache at the corner of his mouth with his hand and said, "The owner doesn't need to work too hard, just wait quietly to understand the reason." I assert that something must have happened today! ”

"Oh? Could it be that Mr. Fei has an eyebrow for me? Lu Qian's heart suddenly became excited, and the things that Ximen Ye planned for him were naturally related to his career.

Lu Qian couldn't stand the idleness of the General Administration Division, and felt that he could not realize his lofty ambitions at all, so Ximenye planned a plan for him to retreat into advance.

The so-called retreat is to let Lu Qian lower his grade, find a way to start from the ministry, and send the place to serve as the chief official, preferring to be a county magistrate, starting from a small place, and then slowly drawing it step by step.

Lu Qian has been planning this matter from last year to this year, could it be that there is good news now?

Lu Qian couldn't help but ponder Xin Qin's attitude just now, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very likely, and he couldn't calm down for a while, pacing back and forth in the room.

Ximenye said on the side: "The owner, if it really happens, then I really have to congratulate the owner." The owner shepherds the people for the Son of Heaven, and there is a lot to be done, and the owner's full of talent and learning finally has a place to use! ”

Ximen Ye was holding it next to him, and Lu Qian was even more excited, but he still said calmly on his face: "Mr. Ximen, the matter has not yet been decided, don't say it too early." If this thing can really succeed, Mr. is the first credit! ”

The two of them locked themselves in the room and imagined the future, when they suddenly heard a sharp shout outside: "His Royal Highness King Pu has arrived!" ”

"Huh?" Lu Qian was stunned for a moment, shocked, and hurriedly tidied up his clothes and opened the door to go out.

All the officials of the Yamen of the General Administration Department had already lined up at the door, everyone lowered their heads, and after a while, they saw a middle-aged man in a python robe holding a folding fan in his hand, surrounded by many attendants, walking towards this side.

The two eunuchs led the way in front, and the man in the python robe walked all the way to the door of the General Administration, and the general envoy Xin Qin led everyone to kneel on the ground together, and said in unison: "Weichen XX, I have seen His Royal Highness King Pu." ”

King Pu of Jinling, the brother-in-law of the emperor today, although the prince of the Dakang Dynasty does not participate in government affairs, his status is extremely high, and the relationship between King Pu and the emperor is very close.

In fact, King Pu was divided into Jinling, and nominally he was in charge of the Southern Court for the Son of Heaven! Even if this kind of management is only ceremonial, in the Southern Imperial Palace, King Pu is also the most respected person.

His Royal Highness King Pu is easy-going, likes poetry and poetry, likes to make friends with famous prostitutes and talents, the mirage on the Qinhuai River is the property of His Royal Highness King Pu, and Li Mu, the first genius of Jinling, is the doorman of the palace.

"Everyone, let's not make rules, what should you do and continue to do something, okay?" King Pu raised his hand slightly, and everyone thanked him and stood up.

Xin Qin stepped forward with a smile and said, "Your Highness, what kind of wind blew you to our little secretary today?" ”

King Pu pointed his finger at Xin Qin and said, "You, like a loach, a thief and a thief!" Don't you really know what I'm here for? ”

Xin Qin was stunned, then laughed, turned his head and said, "Lord Lu, why don't you come over and see Your Highness?" ”

Lu Qian was shocked, and immediately stepped forward quickly, and was very excited to kneel down again: "Weichen ......"

"Okay, Lord Lu, I can't make any rules!" King Pu stepped forward and put the folding fan on Lu Qian's hand, and Lu Qian couldn't kneel down.

The two looked at each other, and King Pu said, "Lord Lu, I didn't have anything else to do when I came here today, I came here to find you!" I want to confirm one thing to you, I heard that Lord Lu has a son named Lu Zheng, I don't know if it is or not? ”

"Ah......" Lu Qian froze instantly, countless thoughts flashed in his mind, I don't know why His Royal Highness King Pu, the royal nobles, suddenly mentioned Lu Zheng, the rebel, could it be that this rebel caused trouble?

As soon as he thought of this, his face changed and he said: "Your Highness, Lu Zheng is indeed the son of the next, did this rebel make something wrong and make the prince unhappy?" ”

"Haha, yes, Lu Zheng did make a mistake, and he made a big mistake! You are also guilty of being a father! King Pu laughed.

As soon as Lu Qian heard this, he was so frightened that his heart and gall were broken, and he knelt on the ground as soon as his legs were weak, and said, "Lord Wang, I hope that the prince will tell you what this rebel has done, if you ...... If he really did something rebellious, rest assured, my Lu family will definitely not protect his shortcomings, and he will definitely ......"

"Okay, Lord Lu, look at you!" King Pu waved his hand, looking quite disappointed, and the leading eunuch came over and said:

"Lord Lu, Your Highness is joking with you! Ling Gongzi's talent is amazing, yesterday on the Qinhuai River to compare His Royal Highness's number one talent Li Mu, Qinhuai River's first Oiran Fan Duoduo for Ling Gongzi's heart, yesterday Duoduo girl sang two words publicly, both from the hands of Ling Gongzi.

The prince is a person who loves talents, especially likes Danqing poems, and the prince appreciates the talent of the prince very much, but it is a pity that the prince sent someone to Jiangning Lu's house today, but he did not see the prince Ling, so he can only ask your father to ask the reason. ”

As soon as Lu Qian heard this, he was stunned, he couldn't believe his ears. What the? Lu Zheng compared Li Mudu, the first genius of Jinling, on the Qinhuai River?

There are many talented people in Jinling, but they are not easy people, Li Mu is one of the leaders, how can Lu Zheng be able to compare with Li Mu in terms of talent?

Lu Qian's mind was in turmoil, His Royal Highness King Pu was right in front of him, how could the dignified prince lie? But Lu Qian's affairs are completely unknown to Lu Qian, he has never known about his son!

"This ...... Your Royal Highness, the dog Lu Zheng is indeed not at home, the county commander of Liuhe County, Lord Nie Yongnie, is the mentor of the dog, and the dog is now studying with Lord Nie......" Lu Qian sorted out his thoughts and said Lu Zheng's whereabouts.

"That's right!" King Pu stomped his feet, "No wonder we can't find him, okay, okay, Lord Lu, adults, I came here to ask about this, now I ask clearly, it's okay, what should you be busy with!" ”

After King Pu finished speaking, he unfolded the folding fan in his hand and shouted: "Let's go, today I must go to see this Lu family Zheng brother in person, the Lu family has Lin'er!" ”
