Seeing Lu Jin's silent and thoughtful look, Gonggong Qin was not in a hurry, and sat there leisurely and slowly sipping tea. He didn't think that the young man in front of him would refuse this olive branch thrown by the prince, although they eunuchs have always had a bad reputation in the officialdom, but now it is no longer the same as in the past.
With the deepening of His Majesty's trust in the princes, the power of their celebrants has gradually risen, and even some officials in the court and the central government have changed their attitudes a lot more than before.
Although what Lu Zhen wanted to do this time might cause opposition from everyone, and the officials in the court might refuse politely, how could he, a seven-grade county magistrate, not know how to seize this opportunity? What's more, transferring him to the capital this time has already shown him his strength, and his intentions can also be known from his previous words and deeds, so Gonggong Qin is sure that even if Lu Zhen hesitates, he will definitely accept it.
Sure enough, after being silent for a while, Lu Zhen finally raised his eyes and said slowly: "Since the prince thinks so highly of the lower officials, this matter is of great benefit to my Ming court, and the lower officials dare not shirk it." But what to do, the lower officials are still at a loss, and they still hope that the father-in-law will teach me. ”
"Don't worry, we'll let you know what to do and what to say. But before that, you have to live in the capital for a few days. But Gonggong Qin continued to sell Guanzi.
Seeing this, Lu Jin couldn't continue to ask, so he had to nod and answer. Seeing that he had agreed, Gonggong Qin did not linger any longer, said a few words of encouragement, and left.
It wasn't until he sent the other party out of the door that Lu Jin's face sank slightly. Sure enough, there is no good thing in this world that the pie will fall on his head, and he thought he could have an opportunity, but he found that he had become a chess piece in the hands of some people.
And Lu Zhen also knows very well that with Wang Zhen's character, his chess piece may become an abandoned child at any time, so it is quite unwise to cooperate with them, whether it is public or private. But in this matter, what should I do to reap the benefits from it on the premise of protecting myself?
At least for now, Lu Zhen has no idea about this, and only hopes that he can be improvised.
Seeing that he looked preoccupied when he turned around, Lin Lie and the others didn't feel a little puzzled in their hearts, but they didn't know how to ask for a while, so they could only be silent together. When he came out of his thoughts, Lu Zhen saw such a scene and laughed unconsciously: "What's wrong with everyone? This meal is going to be cold, why don't you use it first? ”
With his words, everyone agreed to eat. I didn't have a good meal just now, and now I have to make up for it. Only Chu Yunrong still frowned slightly, glanced at Lu Jin a few times with some concern, and wanted to say something, but he endured it for the time being.
By the time the wine and food are full, it will be almost two watches. Everyone was in a hurry, so they went back to their rooms to rest, but Lu Jin was still pacing slowly in the courtyard behind because he had something on his mind, thinking about what he should do next.
At this time, Chu Yunrong walked over: "What did you talk to that guy about?" Why have you been sullen since then? ”
After a little hesitation, Lu Zhen said his difficulties. At this time, he needed someone who could listen to his own thoughts, so that he could share some of it for himself. Chu Yunrong, as his nominal wife, is obviously a good candidate.
After listening to some words, Chu Yunrong was also a little distracted: "It turns out that you were transferred to Beijing City because of this?" It seems that this is really a difficult thing to do. ”
"Who's to say it isn't?" Lu Zhen pursed his lips: "Whether this matter is successful or not, once I really do what they want, then I will have to be called a eunuch from now on." This name is very unpopular in today's court......"
"Although you haven't been an official much, you still know a lot about the situation in the Ming Dynasty." Chu Yunrong said jokingly, and then looked into his eyes: "But how do I feel that you are not entangled in this?" ”
"You see that?" Lu Zhen was slightly stunned, and shook his head with a smile: "If I didn't know that you wouldn't harm me, I would have wanted to kill you, so as not to be seen through too much by you." ”
"You...... At this time, you can still say this to prove that you are actually calm. Chu Yunrong glared angrily at the man in front of him who looked a little lazy.
After a smile, Lu Jin's face sank: "Of course, I'm not struggling with whether to do things for them, but thinking about whether to sabotage their plans and what kind of trouble this will bring us." As he spoke, he looked at the woman in front of him: "The consequences of some things are not light. ”
Chu Yunrong stared at Lu Jin, and his expression became very solemn: "So you still hesitate?" Although I am a woman, I know a word. ”
"But what?"
"Where the righteousness lies, although tens of millions of people go to me!"
Hearing this, Lu Jinden had a feeling of sudden enlightenment. Yes, since you have already distinguished between right and wrong, why bother looking ahead and backwards? It's just trying to get upset!
"I understand, since I have decided to sabotage their plan, then I should deal them the heaviest blow in the most critical place, so that it will be difficult for them to make a difference in this matter!" When he said this, Lu Jin's eyes lit up, and all his worries were gone.
Looking at his appearance, Chu Yunrong also laughed. She just likes to see the man in front of her like this, and she was attracted by him when she was in Guangling.
But then, she asked her own question: "When is the most critical moment?" ”
"Well, I can't say for a while. But I believe that when they transfer me to the capital, they will definitely let me speak for them, and then it will be time for me to fight back! Lu Zhen said. He believed that the other party would transfer himself regardless of the trouble, and it was impossible to just let himself play or something, but when and what kind of role his chess piece would play, he still didn't know anything, so he could only wait.

The idea was set, this night Lu Zhen finally didn't have to sleep because of the entanglement, and slept until dawn all night, before being called up, and then embarked on the last leg of the journey to the capital again.
The other guests in the inn were also like them, they were ready to stop in the morning, and then they rode on horseback, rode in the car, and continued to go towards their respective paths, including the people from the Wei State Mansion who had dealt with them last night.
Like all the gentlemen, this young master Xu Chengzong also looks like he is hugging each other in front of him, with his nostrils facing the sky. A few companions around him dispersed all the pedestrians standing in front of them in a few clicks, and then the young man rode his horse and galloped.
Just didn't run a few steps, he suddenly stopped castration, twisted his head, and looked at Lu Zhen and his party who happened to avoid the side, and said a little excitedly: "Hey, are you really going to the capital too?" How about it, is it going to report on work, or is it going to be transferred to the capital as an official? ”
"I don't know if this subordinate is unknown." Lu Zhen shook his head slightly.
"Hmph, do you think I won't be able to find out if I don't say master? We'll see each other again. After dropping this sentence, Xu Chengzong added a whip and drove the horse towards the direction of Beijing City at the fastest speed.
Seeing this, Lu Jin could only smile bitterly. This kind of powerful child really can't be provoked by himself. Fortunately, Beijing City is different from other places after all, it is big enough, and the rules are heavy enough, so I don't think this gentleman will come to trouble himself anymore.
Putting aside this matter, Lu Jincai greeted: "Let's go." As he spoke, he shook the reins and walked forward, and the people behind him also hurriedly followed.
The closer you get to Beijing, the more people and vehicles there are on the road. Fortunately, the official road has also been widened a lot. Although this era did not have as strict traffic rules as later generations, it also had its own set of rules, so although there were many people, it was not chaotic. Sometimes, when a lavishly decorated carriage passes, many pedestrians will consciously avoid the side, which may be the beginning of the closure of the road in Beijing in the future.
And after all, this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and no matter how arrogant people are, they will be restrained, so along the way, except for the young master Xu just now, no one dares to gallop wildly. Everyone walked slowly, so that there were a lot less incidents and frictions on the road.
In addition, Lu Jinran is pleased that there are many villages on both sides of the road from Tongzhou to Beijing, and there are more yellow and green rice and wheat growing in the fields.
Looking at all this, Lu Zhen realized more and more how correct his previous decision was. If Wang Zhenhu is allowed to come, once the Mongolian army goes south, everything here will be destroyed, and countless people outside Beijing will also be buried under the butcher's knife of the Mongolians. Didn't what I thought before I wanted to save these innocent people?
In that case, let's just do it! As for how Wang Zhen would retaliate afterwards, they couldn't care about it at all at this time. is still the same sentence, where the righteousness lies, although thousands of people go to me!
Walking all the way, watching all the way, and soon, the journey of twenty miles or so passed. In the afternoon, they were already outside the city of Beijing.
Looking at this city that is more ancient and noble than Datong from afar, especially when looking at the city wall that is ten zhang high and stands on the plain like a mountain cliff, Lu Jin's whole heart suddenly beat violently.
I'm finally here!
After traveling to this era for almost a year, I finally came to Beijing City, the most important center of the Ming Dynasty! What will I do here, and will I be able to change that sighing history?
