Lu Xiangsheng pretended to reluctantly agree to Mao Wenlong and became an honorable member of the Dongjiang Army, but Mao Wenlong even arranged him in the army and directly appointed him as the general manager of Qian.

It is obviously not so easy for an outsider, and also a person who has had a holiday with the Dongjiang Army, to gain a firm foothold in the army.

In the council hall of Mao's mansion, Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou sat opposite each other, and the two came here early in the morning to drink tea and go to work.

According to Hong Chengchou's request, even if Mao Wenlong really doesn't want to take care of political affairs, people are not allowed to leave, at least people must find him at any time. As a result, Mao Wenlong now commutes to and from work on time every day, shares a room with Hong Chengchou, and watches him handle government affairs.

The north is now basically stable, and there have been a lot fewer things recently, and Hong Chengchou has been able to take a breather recently. The two of them didn't have anything to do, so they took a break and drank tea!

Mao Wenlong stuffed a crispy snack in his mouth, swallowed the tea, and said dissatisfiedly: "There is nothing to do here every day, instead of drying up here, let's go outside for a walk." ”

Hong Chengchou glanced at Mao Wenlong and said with a straight face: "No, even if you have nothing to do, you can't leave this house until the sun sets." This is agreed on outside, does the chief soldier want to regret it now? ”

Mao Wenlong rolled his eyes, and when he saw Hong Chengchou's non-negotiable look, he also dispelled the idea of going out to play, and changed the topic: "I heard that Lu Xiangsheng's life in the army seems to be not easy. ”

Hong Chengchou chuckled and said: "It is inevitable that there will be some tribulations, but Lu Xiangsheng is a handsome talent, this little test is nothing to him at all?" If nothing else, with his ability, he will be able to mingle with his subordinates in the army in less than ten days. ”

Mao Wenlong said with a sneer: "That's not necessarily, the Dongjiang Army is no worse than the Imperial Army." They are all bloody men, where would they be so easily conquered by Lu Xiangsheng. ”

The Dongjiang Army stationed here in Xi'an are all veterans on the battlefield, and it can be said that the most elite Dongjiang Army of the entire Dongjiang Army is concentrated here. Lu Xiangsheng is just a newcomer who has just joined the army, and he will directly take up the post of President Qian, which is definitely a big challenge.

Hong Chengchou snorted lightly: "It seems that the chief soldier still has a limited understanding of Lu Xiangsheng, and he, Lu Xiangsheng, can climb step by step in the imperial court to the governor in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, but with his real ability." ”

A trace of disdain flashed in Mao Wenlong's eyes, and he said lightly: "What real ability?" In my opinion, at least half of it was his luck. If it weren't for Yuan Chonghuan's death, do you think it would be possible for him to climb to such a height? ”

After Hong Chengchou heard this, he immediately fell silent, according to Mao Wenlong's statement, Lu Xiangsheng's promotion road does have a great element of luck. Although he admitted what Mao Wenlong said, Hong Chengchou still refused to admit it: "Anyway, just from the point of view of subduing the Dongjiang Army, Lu Xiangsheng has no problem at all. ”

Mao Wenlong did not continue to discuss with Hong Chengchou, in short, time will tell, and it will be clear in ten days, and no matter how much argument there is now, it is just empty talk.

The room was quiet, but footsteps sounded outside the door, and he strode in, bowed to Mao Wenlong and said, "General soldier, letter from Nanjing." ”

"Take a look." Mao Wenlong was not surprised at all, he had long expected that he would be able to receive a letter from Chongzhen recently.

Sure enough, as soon as he opened it, Mao Wenlong glanced at the signature, and there was no doubt that it was Chongzhen.

The letter is Chongzhen's recovery of Mao Wenlong's bewitchment of Princess Changping, and as Mao Wenlong expected, Chongzhen did not refuse or compromise. just promised that Mao Wenlong would not force Princess Changping to harass Mao Wenlong for the time being.

"I didn't expect that! The dignified Emperor Ming didn't even want face. After reading the letter, Mao Wenlong suddenly let out a sigh!

"What?" Hong Chengchou also began to pay attention to Mao Wenlong at this time.

Mao Wenlong directly threw the letter to Hong Chengchou, and then said: "It is a matter between me and the princess, and the emperor has promised not to let the princess take the initiative to come to me to make trouble for the time being." ”

Hong Chengchou read the letter carefully, frowned and said, "You actually came up with such a ridiculous method? ”

Mao Wenlong shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Besides this, what else can I do now?" ”

Asked by Mao Wenlong, Hong Chengchou was speechless for a moment, and after a long time, he sighed lightly: "You should send more eyeliner next to the princess, nothing else can be defended, at least we can't let her have a chance to mess around." ”

Hong Chengchou, out of consideration for his daughter's safety, had to advise Mao Wenlong to take safety precautions.

Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "Naturally, with her being a princess, she is not my opponent." From the time she stayed in Mao's Mansion, there were no less than ten secret sentinels watching her every move. However, this princess is indeed good, and she has discovered three secret sentinels. ”

"This princess actually has the ability to do this!" Hong Chengchou was quite surprised.

"No matter what she is capable of, in short, she will not be allowed to hurt her family, this is my bottom line." Mao Wenlong's expression suddenly became serious.

This is indeed his bottom line, judging from her observation of the princess during this time, she really didn't hit Mao Wenlong's family with her idea. This is also the reason why Mao Wenlong tolerates the princess so much, if he finds that the princess has any actions that hurt her family, Mao Wenlong will definitely turn her face directly.

Seeing that Mao Wenlong was measured in his heart, Hong Chengchou suddenly felt a lot more relieved, and the initiative was currently in Mao Wenlong's hands. As long as Mao Wenlong is willing to make a move, Chongzhen, the emperor, will not be able to turn the sky when he disappears.

Fold the letter in half, Mao Wenlong sent it to the brazier and lit it, watching the letter turn into ashes. Now Nanjing has been completely handed over to Chongzhen to fight, and most of the courtiers who were originally prepared have returned.

And the rest of the matter, Mao Wenlong is ready to let Chongzhen deal with it himself, and he will not ask more. To what extent it can be rectified, it depends on Chongzhen's ability, if he doesn't even have this ability, how to re-establish the glory of the Ming Dynasty.

After dealing with some personal matters, Mao Wenlong regained his somewhat depressed thoughts, and said to Hong Chengchou: "This Northern Expedition to Liaodong, I want to personally supervise the army, what does the military advisor want?" ”

Hong Chengchou suddenly frowned: "Why does the chief soldier go to supervise the army in person, although General Chengzuo can't take command, but there is no need for the chief soldier to go in person?" ”

Mao Wenlong explained unhurriedly: "It's very simple, Liaodong is not as good as other places, Wu Sangui is extremely cunning, in order not to have an accident, it is better for me to take a trip myself." ”

Hong Chengchou was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay." But please take into account the overall situation, and don't get angry easily. ”

Mao Wenlong smiled and happily agreed.
