After seeing Mrs. Lan go out, Father-in-law Yu turned his gaze to Lan Qianzhen, stared and asked:

"Where is Madame?"

Lan Qianzhen clenched his fists and replied:

"To tell you the truth, when I was in Linan, the kid saw my wife and snatched it back. Later, I went back to Linan to look for the lady's family, but I didn't find any of them, and I was so scared that I ran away when I heard that. The boy was young and ignorant at the time, and he broke the royal law and asked his father-in-law to forgive him. ”

Father-in-law Yu didn't shift his gaze, stared at Lan Qianzhen and continued to ask:

"You really didn't leave a living mouth when you exterminated the Mao people?"

Lan Qianzhen's palms were sweating, his heart rose to his throat, and he replied stubbornly:

"It's true, father-in-law. You saw the tragedy at that time. ”

Father-in-law Yu stared at Lan Qianzhen for a long time, then suddenly grinned at the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a celebration banquet, why are you all keeping a straight face? Come on, eat as much as you want, drink as much as you want, and don't spoil the spirit. ”

As he spoke, he poured himself a glass of wine and got up to greet the generals present.

When all the soldiers saw Father-in-law Yu toasting in person, they all raised their glasses and drank bitterly, and then toasted each other, and stuffed the sea of nonsense.

Lan Qianzhen took the opportunity to take a breath,

After Father-in-law Yu sat down again, he seemed to have forgotten the scene of spilling wine just now, and just ate the dishes by himself, and Lan Qianzhen hurriedly greeted him.

Father-in-law Yu took a sip of wine and said:

"Back then, I was just ordered to bring the young man of the Mao tribe back to the palace, and I didn't know what the emperor thought, so I left him in the palace. I originally thought that the emperor would also spoil him, after all, I have served the emperor for decades, and I still know the emperor. I didn't expect that this time the personnel change in the inner court, how could I fill the vacancy of the celebrant in terms of qualifications, but why did I let this newcomer take my position? I just changed from Bi Ma Wen to Taicheng Wei! Alas, it really chills the hearts of these things. ”

When Lan Ziyi heard his father-in-law's complaint, he understood Father-in-law's feelings.

It has been more than 200 years since the Taisho Dynasty, and the power structure has been very clear, and the students have studied the ancient books of the sages and sages of the national collection, and began to enter the government through the imperial examination, and the entire Taisho officials have been composed of the victors of these imperial examinations for 200 years. The highest level of official promotion is the six Shangshu, nominally Shangshu is directly responsible to the emperor, but as time goes by, the emperor is unlikely to deal with the six documents in real time, so he selected several officials to form the Military Aircraft Department, instead of the emperor to preliminarily review the documents in various places, and submit a processing plan, these officials are called scholars, and today scholars are concurrently served by the six scholars. The documents delivered to the emperor could not be processed by the emperor in time for various reasons, so the emperor selected the trusted eunuchs around him to review on his behalf, and he only controlled the general direction and saved a lot of energy, and these eunuchs formed the so-called celebrant eunuchs. Therefore, for the scholars in the imperial examination, the highest stage of becoming an official is to become a scholar and enter the military aircraft department; Correspondingly, the highest status of the eunuchs in the inner court is to become the "eunuch of the celebrant and the pen" who reviews the chapters.

Lan Qianzhen saw that Father-in-law Yu was not asking himself, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"My father-in-law is sincere to the emperor, and the world can see it, but the emperor does this, I'm afraid he has his own plans, my father-in-law is leading Taicheng, and he is also above ten thousand people under one person, and your father-in-law still has weight in the emperor's heart."

Hearing this, Grandpa Yu sighed, shook his head, and said:

"San Lang, you don't know, I used to think the same way, until King De was born, I didn't feel that I was nothing in the emperor's heart."

Lan Qianzhen asked:

"What do you mean by that?"

Father-in-law Yu looked at Lan Qianzhen and said:

"Before I came, the emperor had already decreed that the prince's doctor of the Five Classics, the contemporary university scholar Zhou Youyi, was transferred to King De as a professor."

Lan Qianzhen gasped and said:

"Do you mean ......?"

Father-in-law Yu nodded, and then said:

"A few days ago, the original military department Shangshu Liu Jiuye was brought down by a royal envoy who had just entered the office, saying that what was shoddy when issuing military funds, and deducting military salaries, but I Dazheng Quartet Town Army plus the forbidden army, personnel is managed by the Ministry of Officials, military salaries are issued by the Ministry of Households, and equipment is made by the Ministry of Industry. On the contrary, Liu Jiuye and the prince have the closest relationship, and the two are known as close friends and are known throughout the dynasty. I think this is a knock on the mountain. “

When Lan Qianzhen heard this, his mental thoughts were racing rapidly, and he also took a sip of wine and said:

"The emperor did often change the prince back then, and the prince was established and changed, and changed and established, but now the prince has been established for 18 years, and the emperor is now old, and he has been sick in bed for a long time, so I am afraid it is not appropriate to abolish the prince at this time."

Father-in-law Yu took another bite of the dish, and then said:

"That's why I added the title of San Lang, the governor of the five armies, the governor of the capital, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and the acting duke. It is also the emperor's intention to let your son enter the palace of De, and it seems that he wants to use your military power to balance the princelings in the court. In addition to your son, many of the nobles of the court are named to serve the king of virtue. “

Lan Qianzhen was confused when he heard this, he didn't expect that he was actually involved in the abolition of the big thing, and he couldn't help frowning.

Lan Ziyi next to him was in high spirits when he heard it, and the young man seemed to have found an opportunity to make a contribution, so he eagerly asked Father-in-law Yu:

"The younger generation is brave, presumably this King De must be talented, a young hero, or the emperor would not value it so much."

After being asked this question, Father-in-law Yu actually frowned and said:

"This, Wei Hou will naturally know after entering Beijing."

Lan Ziyi was slightly surprised when he heard it, and thought to himself, could it be that there was a problem with the King of Morality?

兰千array says:

"My Lan family guards the border passes, for the sake of Taizheng and peace, and I will only be loyal to the emperor when anything happens in the court."

Hearing this, Father-in-law Yu sneered:

"The acting prince is really loyal to the country, so I really wronged him with those two horse dealers. When they were arrested, they were about to use carrier pigeons to confer the news of King De's canonization and Liu Jiuye's impeachment. “

Lan Qianzhen bit his lip when he heard this, and his hand was pinched and gurgling,

Father-in-law Yu then changed his tone and said:

"San Lang, you can't think too much about others as a person, like me, after fifty years, I only ended up making wedding dresses for others. You are at the border, holding heavy troops, and far away from the capital, I also understand that you send a few people to traffic, but it's okay if you are caught by me doing this, what if you are caught by others? ”

Lan Qianzhen heard what Father-in-law Yu said, and hurriedly poured a glass of wine for Father-in-law Yu, and asked:

"That's according to my father-in-law's opinion......"

Father-in-law Yu raised his wine glass, looked at Lan Qianzhen and said with a smile:

"Nothing, cheers!"

So the two looked at each other and smiled, and led the generals present to raise a glass and drink together, and the atmosphere of the banquet was enthusiastic for a while, and everyone laughed and laughed.

Everyone feasted until late at night, Lan Qianzhen sent Father-in-law Yu back to the guest room, and sent a group of generals out of the General's Mansion.

Bu Yang was the last to leave the General's Mansion, and asked Lan Qianzhen when he left

"General, the last general has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Lan Qianzhen smiled and said:

"You've said this, what's not to say, just say it."

Bu Yang looked around with those bulging eyes, approached Lan Qianzhen and said:

"The last general listened to what Father-in-law Yu said at today's banquet, quite a feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, the general has the elite soldiers of Beizhen, and it is impossible to do nothing at this time, according to the opinion of the last general, we should now take advantage of the stall of the marriage with the bitter cover to deepen the relationship between the two sides and enhance the strength of Beizhen. Once there is a change in the court, the army can go south to suppress the riots. At the very least, he can also guard the northern border and keep one side peaceful. ”

Lan Qianzhen looked at Bu Yang and didn't speak, just accompanied him to the door of the General's Mansion,

Bu Yang followed Lan Qianzhen's side, waiting for Lan Qianzhen to say something,

After waiting at the door, Lan Qianzhen said:

"It's getting late today, General Bu should be careful on the road."

Bu Yang looked at Lan Qianzhen incredulously, his mouth was open and he wanted to say something, Lan Qianzhen said:

"Everyone drinks and drinks happily today, if you say more, I will treat it as a drunken gaffe, General Bu will definitely not live under the people for a long time if he has such a strategy, if there is a chance, I will definitely recommend the general to the ministry, and when the time comes, I can also become a town guard. I was also sleepy, so I didn't go far and took my leave. “

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and asked to come out,

Bu Yang's face twitched when he heard this, and he was going to say something, but this time he directly snorted coldly and left angrily.

As soon as Bu Yang's front foot went out, Lan Qianzhen turned around and walked back, and the servants behind him locked the door of the house.

Lan Ziyi, who had been following Lan Qianzhen, went to his father and said:

"Why is my father always alienated from General Buyang? When the child heard General Bu's words just now, although it was a big rebellion, it was also for his father's consideration. “

Lan Qianzhen sneered and said:

"Son, you're still too tender."

Lan Ziyi didn't speak when he heard his father say this, although he had a lot of things to ask, but it was already late at night, so he retired and prepared to go back to his room to sleep, but he was stopped by Lan Qianzhen

"Come with me, it's time for you to get involved in the affairs of the house."

Lan Ziyi's heart was very complicated when he heard it, and he felt proud, after all, his father admitted that he would let him participate in confidential matters; On the one hand, I felt very heavy, because the so-called secrecy was probably something forbidden by the imperial court.

However, since this arrangement was made, Lan Ziyi couldn't refuse, so he silently followed behind his father.

The father and son walked quietly through the cloister stone passage of the General's Mansion,

Lan Qianzhen rushed back to his wife's residence in the backyard first,

Mrs. Lan was obviously preoccupied, and she hadn't entered the room to rest so late, but sat at the stone table in the courtyard with pen and ink.

Lan Qianzhen walked over, pressed one hand on his wife's shoulder, and asked:

"Are you alright?"

The lady did not answer,

Lan Qianjin continued:

"If your brother were still alive......"

Before she could finish speaking, Madame Lan stood up from the stone bench, picked up her pen and wrote quickly on the paper:

"My brother is dead, he died before Ziyi was born, I can feel it, no matter who that person is talking about, it is not my brother."

Lan Qianzhen moved closer to Madame and was speechless for a moment.

After a while, Madame moved into the house, and Lan Qianzhen said:

"Madam, you rest first, I'll come over to accompany you later."

Saying that, he walked out of the backyard and into the back garden,

After Lan Ziyi bowed to his mother, he also hurried away with Lan Qianzhen.

Mrs. Lan watched the father and son walk out of the backyard, raised her head to Mingyue, and let out a leisurely sigh.
