It's a new day.

"Miss Jinling, I'm sorry for you today." Wang Laohu said.

"Childe, you say."

"It's been so long since I've been in the capital, and my grandmother hasn't had time to pass, today, please go with Wang Biao to see her old man."

"Old Madam Ding was originally my master, and I miss her a little too." Jin Lingdao.

"I can't go empty-handed, let Wang Biao buy the things that should be bought, tell my old grandmother, and say that when I am free, I will go to see her."

Jin Ling nodded.

"Wang Biao, you can go."

"Yes, Childe." Wang Biao and Jin Ling walked out.

Military Department.

Wang Laohu was dealing with the official document at hand. Lord Huangfu came in from outside and said, "Lord Wang, don't forget tonight's events. ”

"Lord Huangfu, how could I forget what I invited." Wang Laohu said, "I'll book at Jingyun Restaurant tonight." ”

"I know that Lord Wang is generous, then Lord Zhao and I will be waiting for you in Jingyun tonight." The Emperor is humane.

"Want, get." Wang Laohu said, "See you tonight." ”

"Lord Wang, now we have a fat gap in the military department, do you know what it is?"

"Fat difference? I know that our military department is a very important department, and everything is very important. ”

"It's very important, because it's very important, so it's fat. The court is in the process of selecting military attachés, and you know that this military attache is indispensable. Lord Huangfu said softly.

Wang Laohu pricked up his ears and listened to the narration of Lord Huangfu, "These people who want to be military attaches are either from wealthy families or rich families, and this military attache is not just a few words from our military department." ”

"That's what you say." Wang Laohu replied.

"So what? Let's just listen to this matter, every time the military attache is selected, Lord Wang himself checks, and we also take some oil and water by the way. Lord Huangfu smiled slyly.

When Wang Laohu first arrived at the military department, of course, he didn't know what the Emperor Fu meant, and it wasn't until he returned home after dinner with the Emperor Fu and Lord Zhao in the restaurant in the evening that he knew what it was like to get oil and water.

Feng Liu'er hadn't slept yet, and when she saw Wang Laohu, she said, "Xianggong, you are not in the house today, don't you know how lively the house is tonight?" ”

"What happened to the house while I wasn't there?" Wang Laohu asked.

"Two lords of the capital have come to see you." Feng Liu'er said, "One is Master Geng from the Ministry of Officials, and the other is Master Ma, who lives near us and sells silk. ”

Lord Geng, although there was a nodding acquaintance, but he was not familiar with the road, and the shopkeeper only went in to buy silk once, so he led Master Ma to visit, "Did they say that there was something wrong?" ”

"It's not that they saw that you weren't in the house, so they didn't stay long, but said they would come back tomorrow night." Feng Liuer said.

Of course, Wang Laohu understood this truth, and they were all nodding friends, and the people who met him several times seemed to have set up a line, and they came to the door, and they should have asked for something.

"Madame, you go to sleep first."

"Okay, Xianggong, you should rest early."

Wang Laohu came to the study.

Zhang Zheng was already waiting in the study. "Childe."

"Zhang Zheng, how do I want you to do it?"

"It's already been done." Zhang Zhengdao, "That night, another carriage was brought out, and we had set up an ambush in advance, just as had happened before, and these brocade guards drove these girls down from the carriage and were about to inflict poisonous hands, and I had a stone sent to hit one of the girls, and the brocade guard's knife was cut off. In addition, I made people pretend to be lonely ghosts, so that these brocade guards hurriedly buried the girl. After the brocade guards left, we picked up the freshly buried soil and found that there was another girl who had breath. ”

Wang Laohu looked at the sky and said, "How is this girl now?" ”

"The girl is very badly injured."

"Did you let Wang Chenran go and see it?"

"At that time, Doctor Wang was in the palace with Gongzi, so I didn't have time to see it. She spoke a few words to us before she died. She said that the Jinyi guards were sent home by the emperor's order. Zhang Zhengdao.

"Home? Jin Yiwei these executioners. Wang Laohu said angrily, these girls should have been happy in their hearts at that time, they could finally go home, but they didn't expect that all these people were killed halfway. Zhang Zheng, recently, if nothing happens, let the brothers relax. ”

"Childe, you have to be careful yourself." Wang Laohu nodded.

Military Department.

Lord Huangfu mysteriously stepped forward and said, "In the past few days, has Lord Wang's mansion been peaceful?" ”

"The Emperor should have met it too." Wang Laohu said, "The house is really restless these days, and I don't dare to go back to the house." ”

"Why don't you dare to go home? I really want to go back to the house immediately, these people will not come empty-handed, whether to do this or not, it is up to us to say a word. ”

"It's not good, if you accept it, you can't do it, how can you explain it to someone?" Wang Laohu asked.

"Lord Wang, you are still young, some things may not be understood, accept it is to give them a peace of mind, whether to do it or not is our business. You know that there are only a few vacancies for military attachés, and whoever has the ability will be on the list, they should be clear. ”

Wang Laohu smiled, just a few places, everyone smashed through the door and squeezed in, can you not plug it? No wonder Lord Huangfu said that this is a fat difference, and when the military attache is selected and selected, the pockets of these people will not bulge for a while. "Little brother, I just arrived at the military department, and I have a lot to ask you for advice?"

"Lord Wang is a smart person, and he should immediately understand what the capital is for

The way of the official. When there is oil and water, when to go with the flow, and when to let go, you must figure it out. ”

"Now I have a doubt, is it necessary for this military attache to be selected and squeezed in as if it had broken through the threshold?"

"Lord Wang, you are in this position, and you don't have back pain when you occupy a position. This military attache is only selected once a year, and if you are elected, the court's fortune will be different. ”

Wang Laohu understands that the selection and awarding of military attaches is actually the same as the evaluation of professional titles in reality, and for this title, everyone is squeezing into it as if they have broken through the door; as far as education is concerned, at the same age, the salary difference between second-level teachers and senior teachers is more than 1,000 yuan.

It turns out that he is the same every time, and the job title is really important.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, please." Wang Laohu was talking to Lord Huangfu, and someone outside came to inform him.

Wang Laohu came to Wang Qianwen's place.

"I got it that day." Wang Qianwen asked straight to the point.

"Roger." Of course, Wang Laohu knew what he was talking about. Wang Qianwen nodded and said: "Don't look at our military department, it doesn't seem to have any oil and water, but as long as it is squeezed, there is still it." ”

Wang Laohu smiled and said, "The little one has just arrived at the military department, and there are many things to ask and learn from Lord Wang. ”

Wang Qianwen shook his head and said, "Lord Wang is a smart person, and he will be able to learn it as soon as he learns." You know, now our military department is doing one thing, the annual military attache selection has begun, so many military attachés in the Ming Dynasty will submit resumes, this number of places is just a few, it can be said that everyone crosses the single-plank bridge, and there is a lot of article here. ”

"There's a big article?" Wang Laohu didn't understand the authentic way.

"If so many people want to enter the quota, it will inevitably be a battle between you and me, this war is no less than a real war, to win from this war, you must have a way, and this method is the real article."

Wang Laohu knew what Wang Qianwen said, that is, the eight immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers, calm on the surface, and turbulent in secret. They will do everything possible to find a relationship, find a way, and break into the interior to obtain this place, which is where the article Wang said.

"Lord Wang, I understand something."

"This number of places is small, if there are more, our military department can also make another windfall. However, it's good that things are scarce and expensive. I will not forget everyone when I get rich, Lord Wang, the military attache is elected, you and Lord Huangfu, I will give you two places each, as for how to use this place, you have the final say. ”

Quotas are allocated to people, which is very different from some of the current practices. No wonder, there will be an endless stream of people in their own house, they already know that they have a place in their hands, so they come to fight in advance.

"What, Lord Wang, do you have an opinion? Isn't it too small to have too few places? Seeing that Wang Laohu was silent, Wang Qianwen asked, "Don't you see that there are more than 100 people in this quota, but how many are there in our military department?" ”

The selection of military attaches is originally a matter for the Ministry of War, but it is possible that there is a big hand behind this that controls everything. Seeing that Wang Laohu was still puzzled, Wang Qianwen continued: "I only have about a dozen places, and most of these places are in the hands of Lord Liu, and you have a lot of places. ”

Business has business routes, officials have official roads, Liu Jin has seized most of the places, if someone wants to get a title, he has to find someone to get through his relationship, and this money is rolling in. No matter how much he does business, he still can't match the power in his hands if he relies on his own ability to eat.

"Are you dissatisfied with my allocation?" Wang Qianwen said.

"No, no." Wang Laohu is actually not thinking about this matter, whether it is one quota or two quotas, it doesn't matter to him, it's just such a system, such a mode of selecting people, can it really select useful and talented people?

It's suspicious.

"Lord Wang, will Lord Liu's hand be too long, reaching out to our military department, this military attache selection is poor, fattening others, but the benefits of our own people are a lot less." Wang Laohu said.

"You're telling the truth." Unexpectedly, when Wang Qianwen heard Wang Laohu's words, he turned his face up.

"Lord Wang, you know clearly, it doesn't matter if I have a little less, but Lord Wang's interests have been hit." Wang Laohu said.

"I advise you to say less like this, without Lord Liu, how could we be today, follow Lord Liu, and only then can we eat and drink spicy food." Wang Qianwen said.

In fact, the speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, and Wang Qianwen already has some ideas of his own.

"I'm just about our military department, it's not worth it for Lord Wang, we can actually earn more." Wang Laohu said, "As long as Lord Wang commands, I can be a pawn for you, and others will never know." ”

Wang Qianwen said: "You don't need to say more, I swear to follow Liu Qiansui to the death." ”

Wang Laohu smiled, and said a few words casually, whether it was useful or not. No one will resist money, and no one will not want to. Wang Laohu looked at Wang Qianwen and felt that his words were still useful, this was an opportunity.

"Lord Wang, I know that you are very close to Lord Liu, and I also want to meet Lord Liu, when will you introduce me to you, I am grateful to you."

Wang Qianwen looked at Wang Laohu and said, "I didn't expect you to be a big ghost, and after coming to the capital for so many days, you wanted to see Lord Liu, tell me, why do you want to see Lord Liu?" ”

Wang Laohu smiled, in the capital, who doesn't want to catch Liu Jin's line, "Lord Wang, there is a saying that a soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier, who will not be able to get along with his own officials?" ”

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier, why haven't I heard this sentence, but I appreciate your straightforwardness, as for whether Lord Liu is willing to see you, I can't be the master."

“

Lord Wang, a word from you is better than a thousand words from others, I believe that with your kind words for me, Lord Liu will see me immediately. Wang Laohu said.

"Say it again, talk about it." Wang Qianwen said.

Empty words, of course, it is not okay, Wang Laohu knows the rules behind this, and that night, Wang Laohu took a box of jewelry to Wang's mansion.

It didn't take long for Wang Laohu to finally get the news that Liu Jin was going to see him, and Wang Laohu, who got the news, was even more excited, and Liu Jin was willing to see him, indicating that he was one step closer to the organization of the Eight Tigers. What do you do after breaking into the Eight Tigers? How can I serve the emperor and remove the obstacles in front of me.

"Feng Sheng, send a letter to the emperor for me, saying that Liu Jin is finally willing to see me, and ask him to give me a new instruction." Wang Laohu said.

"Lord Liu wants to see you, do you want to assign you any tasks?" Feng Sheng was worried.

Wang Laohu thought for a while and said: "In the past, he used to assign tasks to me, and they were all conveyed by people. Now that he wants to see me, whether it's a mission or not, it's a step forward from before. ”

"Yes, there seem to be fewer idlers near our house, and the enemy does believe in you. However, they are known as the Eight Tigers, and it will not be so simple. Feng Sheng was still a little worried.

"I'm also worried like this, if I want to fight with the Eight Tigers, now must not be the time, Liu Jin wants to see himself, no matter what he does, I will take him down." Wang Laohu said.

"Childe, what's the specific matter, wait until you go to see the Eight Tigers, the emperor's side, I will send someone to contact him, but it is not so fast to get a reply."

"I know, now I have to go to see Liu Jin first, I want to see what kind of tricks he wants to play." Wang Laohu said.

It was a calm and ordinary night, and there was nothing different, but this day was different for Wang Laohu, because tomorrow, Wang Laohu was going to see Liu Jin, such an important moment, and it was also an important turning point in history.

After the third watch, Wang Laohu put on a night suit, looking at this posture, he was going out.

Wang Laohu did not walk from the main entrance, but turned over the wall, and on top of the wall, he looked at the street outside, and at this time, everyone fell asleep. What Wang Laohu wants is at this time, and he also wants to know if there are any people in the vicinity of the mansion, these people are like locusts, and they will keep an eye on people. After confirming that it was safe, Wang Laohu jumped off the wall.

Wang Laohu went straight to one place. It's a suburb. When Wang Laohu arrived, there was already a person waiting.

"Lord Cao." Wang Laohu took off the black cloth veil he was wearing.

"Lord Wang, why are you in such a hurry to see me today?" Cao Hongting asked.

"Time is urgent, I can't see the emperor, so I have to come to see Lord Cao." Wang Laohu said.

"Tell me something?" Cao Hongting looked at the dark surroundings and said in a low voice.

"Liu Jin wants to see me tomorrow." Wang Laohu said.

"Liu Jin wants to see you?" Cao Hongting said, "Do you know what he saw you for?" ”

Wang Laohu shook his head and said: "I don't know what's going on, I actually wanted to see Liu Jin for a long time, and from the day I arrived in the capital, I wanted to see him." ”

"So you've achieved your goal?"

"I can say that, though, I'm a little apprehensive about this meeting. I wanted to see him before, but he dragged him away, and now he suddenly wants to see me, and I always feel like something is going to happen? ”

"What could happen?"

"I don't know." Wang Laohu said, "I wanted to see the emperor, but this matter is too urgent to arrange it." ”

"Are you afraid that the emperor won't trust you?"

"I have concerns about wearing this, too. I went to see Liu Jin privately, but I didn't pass the emperor, maybe the emperor was furious and no longer trusted me. ”

Cao Hongting smiled and said: "Lord Wang, your concerns can be completely removed, I have met with you last time, and I have already told the emperor about the conversation between you and me, and the emperor said a word to me, let you go and do it boldly." ”

"Did the emperor really say that?"

"The current court, the emperor can no longer control it, the emperor doesn't believe you, who else can he trust, so tomorrow you meet with Liu Jin boldly to do it, the emperor and I will be on your side."

Wang Laohu nodded.

"Lord Wang, the emperor also asked me to give you a word."

Wang Laohu felt that this sentence should be very important, so he asked, "What did the emperor say?" ”

"The emperor said that in order to achieve certain goals, sometimes it is nothing to sacrifice one or two people." Cao Hongting said this sentence with difficulty.

Sacrificing one or two people is nothing, Wang Laohu knows the weight of this sentence, and the emperor spoke, that is, if you want to kill one or two people, you can do it for big things. The emperor spoke, and Wang Laohu relaxed. I will go to see Liu Jin tomorrow, I have the bottom in my heart, and I can do anything in order to gain his trust.

"Lord Cao, it is not a day or two that the Eight Tigers Group has such a big force, there are factors of the emperor himself, just like now, and there are also the overall interests of the group."

"What do you mean by the interests of the group as a whole?"

"The Eight Tigers have a strong source of economic income, and these are the concentration of interests of their Eight Tigers group, if anyone touches their interests and smashes their interests, they are their enemies, so I say that they have tightened a rope, and it is difficult to break this balance."

"I don't know exactly what you mean by what you say, but I think you have your own ideas. The emperor has given you privileges and trusts you very much, so you can do it with confidence. Cao Hongting said.

Wang Laohu nodded.
