In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, on the morning of September 28.

Xu Changqing, with more than 100 personal guards such as Ergou and Wang Anshan, together with Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei, officially embarked on the road of rewarding the Beijing Division.

Although he has reached a compromise with Bai Guangen, Xu Changqing is not really at ease with Bai Guangen.

Moreover, the security of Jizhen has not been very good in recent years, thanks to the Qing army's entry into the customs several times, there are many bandits in the deep mountains, so Xu Changqing left more than 400 elites such as Zhao Zengjin in Xujiazhuang to guard.

These days of hard work, the relationship between Zhao Zengjin and Erya has also been 'in dire straits', and it seems that it is almost at the node, as long as Xu Changqing finishes the reward, he can officially propose marriage to the Erya family for him when he comes back.

At this time, the light car was simple, and the slightly delicate Xian'er was also left in Xujiazhuang, and the speed of Xu Changqing and his party was much faster.

On the evening of the second day of October, the majestic Jingshi City quietly appeared in front of you.

Outside the magnificent Guangqu Gate.

Xu Changqing did not rush into the city, but silently watched this historical city full of spiritual essence, and did not say anything for a long time.

It wasn't until the gates were about to close that the group entered the city.

According to the practice of the dynasty, the border generals can bring up to 500 personal soldiers into Beijing, and if there are more, they will stay outside the city, Xu Changqing only has more than 100 people at this time, so there is no need to be so troublesome.

Wu Xiang was retiring in the capital at this time, because of Wu Sanmei's relationship, Wu Xiang had already received the news that he had already chartered a big mansion for Xu Changqing and his party in the inner city, all kinds of materials were ready, and the cooks were ready, and they didn't even have to live in an inn.

Half an hour later, the sky will be dark, lying comfortably on the comfortable recliner in front of the main hall of the Mingshifang house, feeling the quiet and comfortable evening breeze, Xu Changqing's whole person is also relaxed.

Unknowingly, he has entered the elite class of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if many things are with the help of external forces at this time, things are not necessarily the best, but this sense of comfort still makes Xu Changqing a little emotional.

This era is like this, and it is conceivable what the scale will be if future generations can reach this level of magnitude.

However, although things were going well overall at this time, there was no follow-up about the Lord, which made Xu Changqing faintly uneasy.

If you go back a few years, this kind of thing is actually not very important, after all, they are all idle and vacant positions, and they can't be done by the children of non-real nobles.

But at this time, the situation has changed, and the Lord is not only worth a lot of money, but also a lot of money!

Especially if you can't stop the Qing army from entering the customs later, after entering the Southern Ming Dynasty!

However, this kind of thing, it is impossible to force it, and it can only be skillful and follow the trend.

Cao Bianjiao, Wang Pu, Yang Guozhu, Li Fuming and others have already arrived in Beijing at this time, and they must have a meal together, and discuss it specifically, after all, when everyone enters Beijing this time, it is very likely that the Son of Heaven will summon them in advance.

Including the old Taishan Wu Xiang, he also had to go to the meeting, and the military department of the Ministry of Military Election also had to report, Xu Changqing didn't have much really leisurely time.

Fortunately, there are benefits tonight.

And it's a big benefit......

Wu Sanmei has already returned to Wu Mansion at this time, and tonight, Xu Changqing can have a good exchange with Li Youwei about life and talk about ideals or something......

……

Early in the morning, Xu Changqing woke up on time, looking at the jade-like people around him, the corners of Xu Changqing's mouth hooked up a warm crooked smile.

Even if she can't really do anything, Li Youwei's intelligence still makes Xu Changqing very comfortable.

And as soon as you open your eyes, you can see your beloved, do you need to say much about this feeling?

Gently helped the kitten-like Li Youwei cover the quilt, gently kissed her smooth forehead like jade, Xu Changqing got dressed, went out cautiously, and began to move his body to prepare for many high-intensity affairs today.

At this time, although Xu Changqing is already famous all over the world and is known as the first fierce general of the Ming Dynasty, almost everyone knows and knows it, but Xu Changqing really has no way in Beijing......

Nothing I know.

Not to mention the big guys who can really use it.

Therefore, after thinking about it carefully, Xu Changqing decided to follow the rules and go to the military department to report first.

However, Xu Changqing will definitely not go alone, after all, he is not familiar with life in the capital, and he can't find a way for a while.

did not wake up Li Youwei, who was very tired last night, simply moved her body, cleaned up and stood upright, Xu Changqing took Ergou and more than a dozen personal soldiers, and went directly to the Datong Hall not far from here.

That's right, find Wang Pu to lead the way.

When he came to the Datong Hall, Ergou informed Xu Changqing's name, and the people on the side of the Datong Hall were immediately in awe, and hurriedly invited Xu Changqing in, and went to inform Wang Pu.

It seems that Wang Pu is still not a small face among the Datong people.

Wang Pu hasn't gotten up at this time, and he finally came to the capital, but he still made such a great achievement, and he wants to be rewarded, how can he not enjoy it?

Anyway, he Boss Wang is not short of this little bit of silver.

was woken up from sleep by the house slave, which provoked the beauties around him to hum again and again, Wang Pu was very unhappy, but when he heard that Xu Changqing was coming, the sleepiness and laziness of this guy suddenly dissipated most of the time, and he hurriedly got up, and no longer paid attention to the resentful little eyes of the beauties around him.

After a while, Wang Pu, who was tidying up, hurriedly greeted him, eagerly gave Xu Changqing a hug, and laughed: "Brother, I said that my brother dreamed of how to pick up gold bricks last night, it turned out that you are here, brother!" ”

Looking at Wang Pu's oily head and noodles, there is obviously a lot of meat compared to before, these days must have been very proper, Xu Changqing smiled and hugged Wang Pu and said: "There is something wrong in my hometown, I have been delayed for a few days." How is it, big brother, it's been going well in Beijing these days, right? ”

While speaking, the two sat down separately, the pretty little maid brought up the fragrant tea, Wang Pu waved his hand and retreated from everyone, and his happy face showed a trace of gloom: "Generally speaking, it's not bad, but the lord's business ......"

Wang Pu glanced around vigilantly and saw that no one was there, so he said in a low voice: "Brother, it seems that something has happened in the court, and we are a little difficult to deal with this matter." ”

"Oh? Big brother, what's wrong? ”

Xu Changqing remained silent.

Wang Pu frowned and said: "I can't say what the specific matter is, brother, it seems that someone wants to suppress us, you can give a reward, but you can't give it to the lord." This matter is said to be very troublesome, and the cabinet is quarrelling, hey, it's a pity that my brother's ability is limited, and I can't catch more useful news for a while, so it's really uncomfortable. Brother, if there is a quasi-believer here, they will have to feed them with silver. ”

Xu Changqing nodded slowly.

Although this incident is a bit unexpected, it is also reasonable.

After all, if only one uncle is canonized at a time, even if many ministers are unhappy, it is not too easy to stop.

However, at this time, four uncles came out at once, which is not fun, and it is certain that it will cause a backlash from the literati group!

Wang Pu couldn't find the 'cause' for a while, and it was normal.

"Big brother, this matter is difficult to say, simple and simple, don't worry. By the way, has the Son of Heaven summoned you and Uncle Cao? ”

Wang Pu suddenly had a bitter face, "Not yet." I came here five days ago, and I've been waiting for the Son of Heaven to summon me. But there was no follow-up. ”

Xu Changqing smiled: "Big brother, don't worry. It's the third year of junior high school today, so it should be soon. By the way, where is Uncle Cao now, have you contacted him? I just came here yesterday and I still have black hair. ”

Seeing that Xu Changqing was indifferent, still the same as before, making people so down-to-earth, Wang Pu gradually relaxed and talked about Lao Cao.

Lao Cao is obviously not as proper as Wang Pu at this time, there is a Datong Hall to rely on, and he can play as he wants.

Lao Cao's temperament is introverted, not good at talking, and his hometown Shaanxi Hall is not too familiar, plus this veteran ruffian is used to living a hard life, and has always wanted to save money, and now he is staying in a hotel at the entrance of the vegetable market.

Xu Changqing was also a little speechless when he heard this.

Lao Cao, this is really a bit ...... It's gone......

In a way, though, that's not a bad thing.

If it is seen by Emperor Chongzhen, the Son of Heaven, who has a common preference, he should like it.

But Xu Changqing couldn't follow suit.

After talking to Wang Pu for a while, Xu Changqing explained his intention.

Wang Pu laughed: "Brother, what else should I do, it's hard to say?" Let's have something to eat first, and we'll be over right away, it should be just right! ”

……

Naturally, Wang Pu and Xu Changqing were not polite, they ate and drank comfortably, and a group of dozens of people quickly came to the side of the military department, and happened to catch up with the military department to work.

Wang Pu has been the chief soldier for a long time, and he has been here several times, he is familiar with the way, and a few silver tickets opened the way, and soon he and Xu Changqing entered inside.

It's kind of funny to say.

At this time, the vast majority of Beijing officials had to go to court, but they were not as good as these big yamen experience, governors and other small bureaucrats.

Wang Pu and Xu Changqing respectively opened the way with silver, and Xu Changqing's name was like thunder at this time, and the process in the military department was very smooth.

Xu Changqing not only officially made a register in the Ministry of War, but also received two bright official robes.

And just when the brothers left the gate of the military department, Wang Pu proposed to find a place to drink some flower wine and have some fun, the military department had quickly passed the news to the palace.

Xu Changqing originally wanted to meet Lao Cao first, and by the way, meet Yang Guozhu and Li Fuming's old acquaintances.

Hong Chengchou and Qiu Minyang, Zhang Ruoqi, Wu Sangui and others have not come over for the time being because the affairs of Liaodi have not yet been resolved, but the dynasty is almost here, and they should be on the way.

But Wang Pu brought up this kind of thing, and Xu Changqing himself was also very interested in Daming's Qinglou, so he hesitated for a moment and nodded.

When the water is clear, there are no fish!

In the context of the dynasty, showing yourself as a 'perfect person' everywhere is by no means the choice of a wise man.

The military department is not far from the famous red light district 'Dashilar' in the capital, that is, the eight alleys of the later Manchu Qing Dynasty, and soon, Xu Changqing and Wang Pu changed their clothes and came to the famous Mingyue Tower in an orderly manner.

Mingyue Tower is a leader in the industry in Beijing, with a long history, has been hundreds of years, and has produced several well-known Oiran.

Wang Pu must have asked for a treat when he proposed this kind of thing, so naturally he had to pick the best, and he couldn't lose face, right?

Xu Changqing looked at the quaint and majestic Mingyue Tower, and his curiosity couldn't help but rise.

In later generations, some people often joked on the Internet that the traditional culture of China was lacking greatly, and the ancients went to the brothel, first drank tea, chanted poems, wrote endowments, talked about life, talked about ideals, and then took the next step with a common language.

There will even be famous prostitutes upside down.

And the Hereafter......

The appearance of Mingyue Tower is extremely charming, full of heritage, and after entering, it did not disappoint Xu Changqing.

The hall is very elegantly decorated, there are ink treasures everywhere, Xu Changqing took a closer look at a few, one of the leaders of the Donglin Party at this time, Qian Qianyi who was afraid of cold water, and the inscription of the old Qian Ge of the year, was impressively listed.

And looking further, there are even Yuan Hao's, Liu Yong's, Mi Fu's, and they all seem to be genuine.

What the fuck!

Xu Changqing was shocked.

What kind of foundation does this have to be to have this kind of pomp and circumstance.

However, what Xu Changqing didn't know was that in Nanjing at this time, on the bank of Qinhuai for ten miles, this kind of scene was even better than that in Beijing!

This is definitely a good time for light smoke and drunken dreams!

Wang Pu seemed to be very familiar with this place, and he laughed a few words with the old bustard who still had charm, handed over a silver ticket, and there was a turtle slave who diligently led Xu Changqing and Wang Pu to the backyard.

The scenery of the backyard is more elegant and magnificent, rockery towers, small bridges and flowing water, including many famous flowers and plants, as if people have come to a royal garden.

Seeing that Xu Changqing was a little frightened, Wang Pu was also extremely proud in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Brother, how is it here?" ”

Xu Changqing nodded: "Big brother, it's really good." ”

After thinking for a while, Xu Changqing said in a low voice: "By the way, big brother, this place, how much money is it to come once?" ”

Wang Pu smiled: "It's not much." Five taels for one person to enter the venue, and one hundred taels for a small building in the backyard. However, if you want to enter the twelfth floor in front of the heavenly character, you have to go higher. Brother, let's be lucky today, and we got to the white door girl in the ninth building of Tianzi. ”
