This time, the Son of Heaven personally drove the Northern Expedition and brought more than half of the 100 officials of the Manchu Dynasty, especially the Yamen of the Military Department, and only more than 30 people remained to deal with various affairs.

Not to mention the special time when the war is about to start in front of us, even in peacetime, it is enough for these people to be too busy to stop. So during this period of time, the military department from Yu Qian, down to every official, can't wait for one person to be able to break it in half for use, especially those who can be the masters, only Yu Qian and Lu Zhen are left.

Fortunately, whether it is Yu Shilang or Lu Lang, they are both pragmatic and capable shrewd people, so the yamen is still running smoothly, and official affairs are not piled up because of the sharp decrease in personnel. But this morning, Yu Qian was surprised to find that almost everyone came to him with paperwork to make a decision, so he had no time to spare, and there were even several people waiting outside.

This surprised him, and he quickly asked Lu Zhen what he was busy with. Only then did I know that it turned out that Lu Zhen had gone to the palace as early as about midnight. And this time, I was delayed for almost two hours, and it was not until after noon that I rushed back to the yamen.

This made Yu Qian wonder for a while, I don't know what Lu Zhen met in the palace, or what he did, what happened to be there for so long. After taking a moment to eat, he called Lu Zhen to ask him.

Facing Yu Qian's eyes with some concern and doubt, Lu Zhen did not hide it, and briefly explained the process of helping King Yu to understand the power of government affairs. It's just that in the process of talking about this, it made him feel uneasy for no reason, but when the other party asked, Lu Zhen couldn't say why, so he gently revealed it.

It wasn't until Lu Zhen finished saying everything that Yu Qian frowned slightly: "Good thoughts, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for you to do this!" ”

"Please mention it." Lu Jin was a little unimpressed by this in his heart, because he felt that what he was doing today was to prepare for the future, and there should be no problem. If Yu Qian was worried that the spread of this matter would make the emperor dissatisfied with him, he would not care even more. Because in his opinion, more than eighty percent, Zhu Qizhen is a meat bun and a dog, and there is no return.

As if seeing the disbelief in Lu Jin's eyes, Yu Qian shook his head lightly and smiled: "I'm not saying that it's wrong for you to do this. On the contrary, it is the eunuchs who make their own decisions and want to manipulate the king as a puppet, but do not let him really understand all kinds of political affairs. ”

"In that case, what is wrong with the lower officials?" Lu Zhen asked with a smile on his face.

"What's wrong is the way you do things today, it's too direct. This can be regarded as offending Cao Rui and even the entire celebrant and eunuch. This is not a good thing for today's court. Yu Qian sighed and said, knowing in his heart that this was just the performance of the young man in front of him.

He could also understand why Lu Zhen would do such a thing so hastily. Just because the hundred officials have been suppressed by Wang Zhen's obscenity before, they naturally have a lot of grievances in their hearts. Now that Wang Zhen is no longer in Beijing, they will naturally have a lot less worries, especially for a guy like Cao Rui, who is not well-known, but still wants to stir up trouble in the palace, Lu Zhen will naturally not leave any room or affection.

Sure enough, when Lu Zhen heard him say this, he once again showed disdain: "Lord Yu, are you thinking too highly of the power of these eunuchs?" A eunuch who is a celebrant and a pen eunuch has not yet mastered the East Factory or the Imperial Horse Eunuch, and his power is also very limited, what can he do if he offends him? What's more, it was his fault in the first place, and I just helped King Yu do what he had to do. ”

"A eunuch with a pen in the master of ceremonies is naturally not a great threat to you and me, but you must know that he is now the one who can really call the shots in the master of ceremonies. And the celebrant is an important yamen connecting the inner and outer courts, maybe he can't take revenge on you clearly, but what if he puts his personal enmity on official affairs? Once he does something in official business, you and I will be implicated in it and fall second, but if it affects the war ahead, the consequences will be serious! In the end, Yu Qian's face had become extremely solemn.

And Lu Jin, after a period of consternation, also became a little panicked: "This ...... Will they really ignore the overall situation, or even the safety of the Son of Heaven in the north? ”

"If it is an ordinary courtier, under the constraints of loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, and righteousness, the three outlines and five constants, they may focus on the overall situation. But those who are not perfect, it is difficult to say. Because they are all villains, how can villains act according to common sense? What's more, once something really happens, they still have a way to shift the blame on us......" Yu Qian said with a worried look in his eyes.

Only then did Lu Zhen know that he had indeed taken things too simple this time. In other words, because they think that history is in their own hands, they no longer think things as carefully and thoughtfully as they used to.

He always felt that once Zhu Qizhen was defeated and captured in Tumubao, the palace would change. As the culprit of this defeat, the fate of Wang Zhen and his henchmen is completely doomed, so naturally there is no need to worry about anything. But I forgot that before the facts came true, those villains who did not succeed enough were more than enough to fail.

"There is another layer that you must be wary of in advance, and that is the conspiracy from them." Seeing that Lu Zhen had already expressed deep regret, Yu Qian was also relieved, after all, young people who have not made mistakes impulsively, as long as they can figure it out afterwards, it is possible to correct it. So he said again: "Even if Cao Rui is really sensible, they can act in a style that they will repay, and then they will definitely try their best to frame you to repay today's humiliation." ”

Lu Zhen shook his head violently, and the more he thought about it, the more he realized that it might come true. And with the current situation in Beijing, it is really difficult to be targeted by them. After all, they have a headache factory guard as their minions, if the other party really uses strength, can they still ensure that they are safe and sound?

Seeing that Lu Zhen was jealous, Yu Qian sighed again and comforted: "But don't worry, after all, we are officials of the imperial court, and if there is no definite evidence, they will not dare to mess around." In addition, you should also be careful when you go in and out today, and if you don't leave any chance for them, most of the time nothing will happen. ”

"The lower officials are respectfully taught, thank you for your advice." Lu Zhen stood up sincerely, saluted Yu Qian, and then said goodbye and returned to his public house to deal with the official documents that had been backlogged for half a day.

And Yu Qian, after muttering for a while, beckoned to call the rough-clothed man who was always standing a little wooden outside, and ordinary people who passed by would not even look at him, and then whispered a few words in his ear.

After a slight hesitation, the man with no sense of presence responded to this order with his fists clenched, and then quietly left the side.

Jin Yiwei, Beizhen Fusi.

Anyone who comes here at any time of the year will only feel a chill hit them.

Although the two pitch-black gates were ajar, and there were only two lazy soldiers in front of the door, who looked even more relaxed than the local county government, no one dared to approach this notorious special institution.

In fact, since the opening of Jinyiwei in the alley on the east side of the city, the population within a few miles of the neighborhood has been more sparse than elsewhere. The people of Beijing had no choice but to pass by this side even if they took a long detour, and as for the people who came to the door on purpose, they did not have a few times a month.

In the eyes of everyone, entering the gate of the Zhenfu Division means losing freedom, official position, and even one's own life. In such a place that can almost be equated with the Yama Palace, who would take the initiative to come in?

But today, someone really took the initiative to find the door of the Jinyi Guard, and they entered the two doors like the devil's mouth smoothly, and saw Ma Shun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who could almost stop the crying of the children in the capital.

In the past few years, with the increasing power in his hands, Ma Shun's momentum has been several times stronger than a few years ago. Just sitting on it, staring at people is enough to scare many people with weak legs and unsteady standing.

It's just that the young little eunuch in front of him is an exception, although his face is also a little pale because of the solemn atmosphere here, but at least his body is standing up straight. This one who dared to find the Jinyi Guard Gate was naturally Cao Jixiang who came on the orders of his godfather.

After relying on a strong force to stabilize his mind, Cao Jixiang said his intention, and then waited for the other party's response.

Ma Shun, who was sitting on the chair, ate a few preserved fruits on the plate in front of him, and he didn't know if he had listened to the other party's words. After a long time, he spit out a kernel in his mouth in front of Cao Jixiang, and smiled: "What is Cao Rui, who dares to support our Jinyi Guard?" And you, you have no eggs, but you have a lot of courage to dare to speak irresponsible in front of the governor of Pontus, who gave you the courage? ”

Listening to this speech full of disdain and insults, Cao Jixiang felt a burst of anger in his heart. But he knew that the other party had such arrogant capital, so he quickly adjusted his mentality again, and said with a smile: "What Ma Dudu said is that the slave maid really doesn't have any qualifications to come and ask Jinyiwei to do it. But...... Today, I invite you to take action not only for Gonggong Cao, but also for the prince, and for the sake of Ma Dudu. ”

"Huh? I'd like to hear what you have to say. Ma Shun smiled teasingly, stretched out his hand, took another glass of wine from his hand, and slowly tasted it. It's as if Cao Jixiang on the other side is a clown performing a trick in front of him......
