If it is said that the news of the canonization of the prince of Yan Yi in the seventeenth year of Yonghui is the first dish of a banquet, then the first day of the Yan Dynasty is the main dish of the banquet.

Originally, the semi-annual palace listening to Japan should be held in March and April, but it coincided with the celebration of the return of the prince, and Lu Yuan seemed to have the intention to let this successor integrate into the military and political circle of Youzhou as soon as possible.

This arrangement made some officials and wealthy lords in Yanjing City and the surrounding counties sigh and regret, they are all fish and shrimp characters who are not qualified to enter the palace to meet His Royal Highness the Prince and are not qualified to attend the political day. In the future, it is possible to take a step forward in Youzhou, and it is even impossible to say that it is impossible to ascend to the sky in one step.

However, Lu Yuan's arrangement of listening to the government first and then having a banquet really made the little crackling abacus in their hearts come to naught.

It's not that you can't give gifts, it's not that you can't shoot sycophants, it's just that there are a lot of knowledge in the world, and there is a simple truth like being a servant after being a servant, but who doesn't know if you can mix some doorways in the officialdom shopping mall?

After all, if you talk about financial strength, they are comparable to those military and political officials who have been in Youzhou for a long time, and how can the shallow gifts prepared by the whole family be compared to those bigwigs who speak well in Youzhou?

They are annoying, and Lu Rong is happy to be idle for two days.

Except for the days before he came back, the Youzhou Buzheng Secretary and the Shuntian Prefecture Governor Yamen, who were all at the level of the fourth rank or above, came to visit and needed him to greet him, and the rest of the time he was adapting to or integrating into the life of the prince in the Yan Palace.

In fact, it can't be said to be adaptable, after all, he had already lived this kind of life in Qiao's Mansion to open his mouth and stretch out his hand.

It's just that he is mostly vain and cautious there, and in the palace, he is leisurely and leisurely like a spring breeze.

This prosperous courtyard, which is only bigger than Qiaofu in Fenzhou, is his home in the future.

General Lu Yuan has nothing to do in the past few days to run to Xiayuan, lunch and dinner have to be on time and on time, or as always, there are twenty or thirty dishes at every turn, and then gradually add a bottle of yellow wine, and occasionally pull Mr. Jian Zhai Wang Xuance, Li Fengshan has not seen it since that day, and learned from Lu Yuan's mouth that Li Ye is indeed an ordinary veteran of the Yan Army, with no military background and no retainer status, but he was put next to Lu Rong by chance. Now that his things have been done, the old man who doesn't want to be said to be on the list of Lu Rong, the big tree, invited himself back to his hometown to recuperate for the next day.

For this explanation, Lu Rong stared at the general with a gloomy face for a long time, until he couldn't see the slightest flaw in that old face.

Compared with Li Fengshan, who walked out of Lu Rong's life without making a sound, Chen Ti's failure to leave made Lu Rong really a little surprised, originally he thought that once he stepped into the Yan Palace, this sloppy old man would go away in a wide and chic manner, and it would be difficult to see him again. In fact, if he could, he would rather the old man stay in Yanjing City like this, eat and drink and have fun in the palace every day, and occasionally fight and walk the tiger together, he didn't want to learn any swordsmanship from the old man, not for anything else, just because every time he thought of Xun Yin's palm, Lu Rong's heart would ache like a knife.

He owes him so much.

So much so that he didn't even know how to pay it back.

The general was unexpectedly encouraged by Lu Rong to learn the sword, in his words, the Lu family has produced generals, advisers, and cultivators, but there have never been great swordsmen, if you are successful in learning, you can be regarded as a glorious ancestor.

Lu Yuan's face was extremely sincere when he said this.

In other words, with Lu Rong's Taoism, he can't distinguish the truth from the fake.

In view of the general's pampering attitude of satisfying all requests in the past few days, Lu Rong cautiously asked: "You don't object?" ”

"Why do you want to object, you don't want to learn poetry and songs, such an elegant and useless thing, practicing martial arts is of great help to the military, why should I object."

As if he was afraid that Lu Rong felt that his attitude was not firm enough, the general immediately sent someone to summon the three military ministers supported by the Yan Yi Palace, and introduced them to Lu Rong, and at the end he didn't think it was enough: "But I am not in the palace now, I will let him come over when I go back, and gradually, the two of them make a knife and a gun, although it is different from your sword, but I want to see more will always be beneficial." ”

Lu Rong was dumbfounded, he really didn't expect his "father" to be so resolute.

The three martial ministers, one old and two young, are all swordsmen, Lu Rong has only heard of the old one, and knows that he is the top master in the world second only to those kendo masters, but he didn't expect that he would also be a martial artist in the Yan Yi Palace.

There has never been a shortage of practitioners in the words "learn to become a literary, martial arts, and an emperor's family".

Different from Lu Yuan's recognition and encouragement, Wang Xuance, as Lu Rong's mentor, presents an attitude of neither opposition nor approval in this matter, compared with the art of battlefield conquest, Mr. Jian Zhai, who has the talent of the champion, values the vision pattern of His Royal Highness the Prince more, and the few days after returning to the house are not long or short, which is enough for Lu Rong to know the hidden policy skills of the court that many low-level people can not see on tiptoe, and also helped Lu Rong simply sort out some of the relationship networks and interest chains between the military and political circles in Youzhou, Among them, the unscrupulous words directly pointed to some ills and darkness within the two top power institutions in Youzhou, the Youzhou Metropolitan Protectorate and the Political Envoy Division, without leaving a little face for Lu Yuan, the king of Yan Yuan, who was in charge.

In addition to the five military governors and the military department respectively in charge of the world's soldiers and horses in charge of the command of the army and the right to transfer troops, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the Dazhong Dynasty and the dynasty in the east, west, north, south, and five central sides of the five sides of the five divisions, among which the Youzhou Metropolitan Protectorate and the Qinzhou Metropolitan Protectorate have the greatest power because of the war against the Northern Barbarians, but the right to make decisions on the basis of the soldiers and horses within the jurisdiction does not need to be reported to the court, which can be called the "small soldiers" in various places. Youzhou Metropolitan Protectorate was set up in Xuanfu, and the position of Metropolitan Protector has always been concurrently held by King Yan Yi, and the two deputy Metropolitan Protectors are respectively led by the commander-in-chief of the infantry army and the commander-in-chief of the cavalry army, each commanding the most elite field troops in the Yan Army. Since the capital of the palace below is the local guards, Youzhou has two towns five passes and seven Davids, the two towns refer to Xuanfu Town and Ji Town, the five passes are the Longmen Bauhinia Fallen Horse Mountain Sea Juyong these five are located in the majestic pass of the main road, and the Seven David and other smaller guards are spread in this Youzhou land, together with the safety of the northeast gate of the Dazhong Dynasty.

It is this barren land that has given birth to countless brave generals in the past 80 years.

"In two days, the two marshals Yang Gu and Liu Xuanxi will come to Yanjing to participate in the political day, and I don't need to say much about the energy of these two, before the transfer of Lu gradually stationed the dragon gate guards was promoted by Yang Shuai, this ......" Wang Xuance paused here as if he had a deep meaning, took a sip of tea and continued: "This ...... This makes the position of deputy general of the Xuansoap Army vacant, and I can't guess who the successor is. ”

The general smiled and said: "I know the people mentioned by Xuan Ce before, and they are indeed first-class talents, but I already have this position in my heart, otherwise I won't let it go." ”

The edict of the Son of Heaven promoted this Yan Wang Yizi from a five-rank miscellaneous general to a four-rank real power general on the one hand, and the cavalry commander Yang Gu, who had a very high prestige in the army, second only to the general Lu Yuan, was promoted on the other hand. The deep meaning here, even Wang Xuance, who has been in the shogunate for decades, can't see through it and guess it.

Are you afraid of two tigers competing for food, or do you want two tigers to compete for food?

Wang Xuance said lightly: "Since that's the case, I won't talk much." ”

The general turned to Lu Rong and said, "Rong'er, you and Yuan Gong have come back all the way, what do you think of this kid?" ”

Lu Rong pondered for a moment, he had originally made up his mind to listen to such high-level military personnel appointments and dismissals, but now he was suddenly asked by Lu Yuan, and he could only say an ambiguous sentence: "In my opinion, it can be a general." ”

Of course, he knew that the Xuansoap Army, as the prince of Yan, was not subject to the control of the military department and the capital protectorate, so his words might affect Yuan Gong's future in the Xuansoap Army in the future.

It is true that the general is not fake, but the general is handsome, and it depends on what kind of person the general wants.

The general nodded and said: "This kid is a fierce general, no less than the tiger idiot Yuan Shouyi of the Tiger Kui Army, it is really fatal to fight, and his temper is also stubborn, last time he was gradually whipped thirty times because of the difference of opinion on sending troops, and he still dared to slap the table and shout at me the next day, interesting." ”

Wang Xuance frowned and said, "The general wants Yuan Gong to take charge of the Xuansoap Army?" Rong'er also said that it can be a general, that's all. ”

Lu Rong knew in his heart that it wouldn't be so simple, he actually had a faint feeling in his heart, could it be that Yao Ke was transferred back from Xuanfu this time to replace the Xuanshu Army?

Does Lu Yuan want this Mesozoic army of the Yan Army, who is not Lu gradually Yang Gu's faction, to become his first wing?

But if that's the case, how could Wang Xuance not think of it?

Sure enough, Lu Yuan looked mysterious and unpredictable, and laughed: "Xuan Ce, don't ask again, you will know when the time comes." ”
