"What! Wait, are you saying that Lu Yuan really arrived in the capital? ”

Tang Jin, a member of the Military Election Division of the Ministry of War, stood up in horror, not even knowing that the teacup was knocked to the ground by his sleeve.

Tang Wenyun nodded: "The child has just learned that he has really arrived in the capital. ”

"Isn't this about widowing my daughter!"

Tang Jin slapped the table angrily as he spoke, pointed at Tang Wenyun, and scolded angrily: "Why don't you persuade him, since he is the king of Qin, why should he enter Beijing!" ”

"The child only thought that he was just from King Qin's journey to Tianjin, but he didn't expect him to really arrive in the capital, and he was now fighting with Jiannu."

Tang Wenyun replied with some curtle.

"Reckless! With his little soldiers and horses, how can he fight with Jiannu, can he save the Jingshi, and the big Jingshi doesn't need him to save it! ”

Tang Jin was an official in the Ministry of War, so he naturally knew that Lu Xiangsheng's Xuan soldiers were about to come to aid the Beijing Division, and the Beijing Division did not have to worry about falling, but he really didn't expect that Lu Yuan would really come to the Beijing Division to fight against Jiannu.

Tang Jin was so angry that he couldn't do anything for a while, so he had to order: "You send more people to the outer city to inquire, if he Lu Yuan is okay now, I will go and beg Lord Shilang to see if I can find a way to transfer him to the capital to guard the city." ”

Tang Jin said that he was going to change his official uniform and go out to meet his colleagues.

At this time, Lu Yuan also came to the Tang Mansion with gifts accompanied by Uncle Fei through inquiry.

"Master, my aunt is here!"

The butler of the Tang Mansion came to say goodbye.

Tang Jin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, although he insisted on letting Lu Yuan marry his daughter Tang Yan for the sake of his family's reputation and his own reputation, and was willing to treat Lu Yuan as his son-in-law, and even helped Lu Yuan get a military position, but he didn't mean that he really had a good impression of Lu Yuan, and thought that Lu Yuan was a very good son-in-law.

Now, because Lu Yuan has become the son-in-law of the Tang family, and the son-in-law is like half a son, he simply expressed his dissatisfaction with Lu Yuan directly in his heart, and knew that Lu Yuan had really entered the king of Jingqin, so he snorted: "He is also embarrassed to come to see the old man!" ”

"Father, you dissipate your anger, the child has more contact with Lu Yuan in Linqing, the child doesn't think that he Lu Yuan is a person who doesn't think about things, maybe there is something hidden here, or let him meet you and listen to him explain why he led troops into Beijing to confront Jiannu this time."

Tang Wenyun said.

"I don't see him! Let him go out of the city immediately, without the order of the military department, he will leave his post without permission when he enters the city now, and my Tang family can't afford this crime! ”

Tang Jin shouted angrily and ordered directly to the housekeeper: "Go back to the ministry!" ”

The ministry here refers to the military department, and Tang Jin is now serving in the military department.

At this time, Lu Yuan also came over, he didn't have much memory of Tang Jin in his impression, after all, in his memory, when he was a child, this uncle named Tang Jin had already entered Beijing to take the exam and stayed in the capital as an official.

Since then, he has never returned to his hometown.

Therefore, Lu Yuan didn't say hello when he saw Tang Jin coming out, and he didn't know that the official who walked out of front of him and glared at him with a cross eyebrow.

But Lu Yuan still made a gesture, after all, he came to his father-in-law's house, so he naturally had to behave politely.

At this time, Tang Wenyun walked out.

Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and said with a smile: "I've seen my brother-in-law, but I don't know if my father-in-law is at home?" ”

"I just went back to the ministry, Lu Yuan, you are too reckless this time! A large number of Jiannu appeared near Gyeonggi, and even Guan Ningbing was afraid of this, why did you come to this dangerous place! ”

Tang Wenyun also blamed Lu Yuanlai, and told Lu Yuan that Tang Jin wanted to go back to the ministry to intercede with Wang Shilang on his behalf and let Lu Yuan enter Beijing to defend the city.

"So, the one who went out just now is my father-in-law, no wonder that adult looks at my brother."

Lu Yuan said a word, and when he was about to explain, the housekeeper of the Tang Mansion ran in and said to Tang Wenyun: "Young Master, Liu Wu of the Shoufu family's family came to worship, and the Shoufu asked the master to go to Wenyuan Pavilion to discuss the matter. ”

When Tang Wenyun heard this, he thought to himself that his father was just a small foreigner in the capital now, how could the first assistant of the cabinet send Liu Wu, the most powerful housekeeper in the house, to invite his father to Wenyuan Pavilion to discuss matters?

You must know that the relationship between Liu Wu and Shoufu is the same as the relationship between You Qi and Zhang Juzheng back then, although it is said that the prime minister is a seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, but in fact, many times the senior officials of the second and third grades also want to give him some face in front of Liu Wu, not to mention, the basic ones who can be invited by the cabinet first assistant to Wenyuan Pavilion to discuss matters are Shangshu, and the lowest is also a senior official of the ministry or a science and technology official, how can his father, a small member of the court, be invited to discuss matters?

But in any case, Tang Wenyun didn't dare to belittle Liu Wu, and naturally he didn't have time to preach Lu Yuan, so he was busy taking Lu Yuan down to rest, and he himself personally ordered: "Immediately prepare a hundred taels of silver and give it to Liu Wu, and at the same time, immediately take Liu's post to the ministry to see the master!" Let the master go to Wenyuan Pavilion quickly. ”

Lu Yuan was not as shocked as Tang Wenyun when he saw this, after all, he had already guessed that Liu Yuliang might have something to do with him when he saw Tang Jin.

It's just that Lu Yuan didn't expect Liu Yuliang to go first to his father-in-law, instead of seeing him directly, thinking that this Liu Yuliang might be to avoid suspicion and avoid being impeached by political enemies for his personal friendship with military generals.

And looking for his father-in-law does not have these problems, after all, Liu Yuliang, as the first assistant of the cabinet, is very normal to meet the civil officials below.

Tang Jin hurriedly came to the military department at this time, and paid a lot of bribes to the official in charge of Wang Yehao, the right attendant of the military department, only to learn that Wang Yehao was still in the ministry, so he hurriedly came to ask to see him.

As soon as Wang Yehao knew that Tang Jin, a member of the military selection division of the Ministry of War, was coming to see him, he was also contrary to his usual seriousness, and smiled at Tang Jin very kindly: "Ziji, your son-in-law Lu Yuan is very loyal and brave, he dares to lead a battalion of only more than 1,000 people into the king of Beijing Qin, and even His Majesty is very happy!" I think you are also a good housekeeper, I have said good things for you in front of Your Majesty, and I hope to go further in the future. ”

Tang Jin smiled awkwardly, he knew that Wang Yehao wished that the more soldiers of the Qin Dynasty came, the better, but Tang Jin himself knew that Lu Yuan would definitely encounter Jiannu as soon as he entered Beijing, and once he died at the hands of Jiannu, although Lu Yuan was also loyal to the country, his daughter would become a widow because of this.

"That, the prince, the subordinate also knows that the dog's son-in-law is loyal and brave, but he is also young and vigorous, and he doesn't know the ...... of military affairs."

As Tang Jin was talking, he saw his housekeeper looking outside, so he had to say goodbye, and came out first and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Lord Shoufu invited the master to Wenyuan Pavilion for discussion?"

The Tang Mansion housekeeper replied.

Tang Jin was so surprised when he heard this, he said in his heart: "What's going on, could it be that Lu Yuan has already died in battle, and Lord Shoufu has already learned about it from His Majesty first?" ”

Tang Jin was quite depressed in his heart, but he had to rush to Wenyuan Pavilion first.

Wenyuan Pavilion is the office of the Cabinet Scholars, and each Cabinet Scholar has his own duty room here, and the Cabinet Scholars can announce the officials under them in their own duty room.

Tang Jin, as a small outsider, this was his first time in Wenyuan Pavilion, which made him a little trembling, and he was even more worried about how he would deal with it when he heard that his son-in-law had died in battle.
