Suddenly, autumn and winter passed, and spring came to the earth again. The era name of the Ming Dynasty has also quietly turned from the fourteenth year of orthodoxy to the first year of the new Jingtai.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing, is as prosperous and lively as ever, as if the war had never happened, only the mottled scars left at the city gate and city wall, telling the pedestrians about the dangerous years, so that people with a heart stop and pay their respects.

After the Mongols retreated, the former people from the towns and villages who had been persuaded to enter the city had returned to their homes, and even if some of their homes were destroyed, the government took the lead in rebuilding houses for them. And when spring comes, the fields are mostly busy with farming, and even if they have suffered, when the dust has settled, they still have to run for their own lives.

There is only officialdom, but in just over half a year, earth-shaking changes have taken place. This is not only reflected in the change of the imperial court name, but also in the replacement of many officials.

In the period after the victory in the Battle of Beijing, a large number of officials were demoted or even lost their posts because they were implicated in Wang Zhen's crimes. The previous emperor did not completely expand the attack area, or for the sake of stability, after all, he had just ascended the throne at that time, his foundation was unstable, and at the same time, there were strong enemies eyeing him outside, and the court could never regenerate civil strife.

But after a big victory, Zhu Qiyu, the new genius, sat on the dragon chair completely, so naturally he no longer had any worries. A purge that was much harsher than when he first ascended the throne ensued, and countless lucky Wang Zhen's henchmen were dismissed one after another, replaced by court officials who had been ostracized and persecuted, and even framed and lost their positions.

This liquidation is not only carried out in Beijing, but even spread to all parts of the country, but anyone who has relied on Wang Zhencai to sit in the position, as long as someone denounces it and can come up with real evidence, it will be difficult to escape punishment. Although some of them are inevitably wronged, on the whole, it still makes the atmosphere of officialdom suppressed.

Especially in the capital, with the great reduction of the power of the factory guards, the power of the civil official group has gradually risen, and those imperial historians are even more proud of daring to tell the truth and dare to refute them, that is, the Son of Heaven and those important ministers in the court have often become the targets of their impeachment.

Although from a historical point of view, this wind can not be long, and in the long run, there will inevitably be a strong and weak king, and finally the result of the confrontation between the king and the minister, but at least for now, everything is so harmonious.

Of course, there are always mistakes and omissions in the practice of picking out bones in the eggs. For example, Sun Xiang, the former guard of Bauhinia Pass, was obviously a hero who fought hard until the last moment and sacrificed his life for the country, but in the impeachment of these officials, he became the biggest sinner who was cowardly and afraid of death, and finally led to the destruction of the city and the danger of Beijing. For a time, there were even many voices proposing to copy his door, and the sin was prolonged by his descendants.

Fortunately, at this time, Yu Qian and Lu Zhen from the Ministry of War spoke for him, and took out the testimony of the soldiers who escaped from Bauhinia Pass, coupled with the admission of Xining, a great criminal, and finally cleared the grievances of this hero.

However, some other people are not so lucky, after all, there are many unlucky officials who have suffered enough because of the impeachment of the official, that is, the military department squire Lu Jinlu, who is in the limelight, has recently been impeached by someone for some trivial things, and in the end he can only temporarily close the door and apologize, and dare not see people.

The plaque of the Lu Mansion hung high in front of the mansion, shining golden in the midday sun, so that many pedestrians passing by his door couldn't help but look around twice and whisper a few words at the same time.

A person who has only been an official in the DPRK for less than ten years and is not yet 30 years old has actually relied on various opportunities to become the minister of the three grades who holds great power in the DPRK, and his own topicality is enough to make many people sigh. This is a height that many officials have been unable to reach in their entire lives, but he has easily sat in this position.

And what makes people feel even more blushing is that this Lu Mansion is still the mansion given by the Son of Heaven, its scale is almost comparable to the Earl's Palace, and the location is also in Xicheng, which is only three or four miles away from the imperial city.

A son of heaven who is only in his twenties, a courtier of the same age, the two have such a close relationship that many people believe that it may not be long before Lu Shilang will become an existence under one person in the court.

However, at this time, if someone can sneak into the backyard of the Lu Mansion to take a look, they will definitely be surprised, because our Lu Zhen Lu Shilang, who is in the limelight, is now with a flattering smile on his face, and he is serving tea and water to the two women in Chinese clothes, and he is careful to speak. Looking at his dog-legged appearance, it was as if he was the descendant of these two beautiful women.

In fact, these two women have a much closer relationship with him, and they are Lu Jin's wives - Chu Yunrong and Yun Yan.

After the end of World War I in Beijing, the first thing Lu Zhen did was to send someone to Suzhou to bring the second daughter back to his side. In mid-November last year, they returned to Beijing by boat along the canal.

However, after greeting each other after they first met, the two women's attitude towards Lu Zhen became a little bad, and they always ignored him. Even Yun Yan, who used to be gentle and small, stood on the same front as her sister this time, and she didn't give Lu Zhen a good look at home.

As for the reason, it is also very simple. Lu Jin, when he knew that he would be in danger, actually sent them out of the capital. Moreover, at that time, he had agreed with them that if there was any danger, he would definitely resign and return to Suzhou to accompany them.

But the result? He fought against the Mongols in Beijing, and the two women in the south were even more frightened for him for many days after learning about the situation in Beijing, for fear that one day bad news would come back from the north.

This kind of torment lasted for more than a month, and the two women were both worried and complaining. Especially after returning to the capital to see Lu Jin, they were even more angry: You sent us away when you were in danger, and now that you have been promoted and brought us back to your side, are we really snobbish women who can only share joys and sorrows? It's also so hurtful.

For this reason, the two daughters refused to live in the mansion of the imperial gift after coming to the capital. It was Lu Jin's good words, who lost all kinds of wrongs, said all kinds of good things, and made relevant assurances before they were re-admitted to the mansion.

However, then the two women's attitude towards him was still lukewarm, which made Lu Zhen really have a headache for a while. It wasn't until the end of the New Year that they were happy again, but their status in the backyard was plummeting.

Often when there are only three people present, Lu Zhen becomes the little guy who is called around by the two female envoys, not only has to serve them tea and water, but also has to be responsible for telling them jokes and amusing them, without the appearance of a high-ranking official of the third grade. If this matter spreads, I am afraid that it will become the laughing stock of the world, and it will be enough for many officials to impeach him.

If you change officials, even if you are just an ordinary seven-grade petty official, you will never be able to bear this. But Lu Zhen did not get angry because of this, but felt that this was an adjustment after the busy government and politics, and he really achieved happiness. In him, there is no momentum of the master of the family at all, and there is only the good temper of a good man in later generations.

In fact, the two girls have long been angry with him, but they found that this relationship seemed to be more interesting, so they retained. As long as there were no other servants present in the backyard, they would coquettishly support Lu Jin's service to them, and then the three of them would tell some jokes, which was also relaxed.

At this time, Yun Yan half-leaned on the embroidered couch, pointed to the stack of pastries in front of her and said, "Lu Lang, I want to eat that." ”

"Order." Lu Jin hurriedly walked over to pick up a piece of pastry for her, and gently brought it to her mouth, and after watching her take a bite, he came to his mouth and took a bite to eat.

Chu Yunrong looked at it and hurriedly spoke: "Lu Lang, I'm thirsty." ”

"Okay." Lu Zhen hurried over again, poured a cup of fragrant tea for her, and after blowing it cold with his mouth, he sent it to his mouth and fed her to drink.

Being served by Lu Zhen like this, the faces of the two girls were full of happiness, and they felt how good it would be if time stayed at this moment.

It's a pity that things in the world can't go as people want, just when they were tired of being together, a soft cough suddenly sounded from outside the door: "Master......"

Lu Zhen heard the voice, quickly straightened his body, and the two women also sat up straight, and then said, "Come in." ”

It was a woman in her forties, with a chubby face full of shrewdness, who was now the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion.

The current Lufu covers an area of seven or eight acres, and there are seven before and after, so naturally it is impossible to have only two or three big cats and kittens. Lu Jin, as a dignified court squire, is here, and naturally it is impossible to live alone, so there are dozens of family servants in the house, in addition, there is one person in charge of internal and external affairs, and now the Lu family is also a big family.

In fact, Sister-in-law Yu has long known about this matter in private between her master and the two ladies, although she has felt unseemly many times in her heart, but she doesn't dare to show it on the surface, and even coughs before entering the house every time she reminds her, so as not to see something that shouldn't be seen.

Before and after coming to the three masters, Sister-in-law Yu bent down again and bowed, and then said: "Master, Uncle Xiang sent someone to report that there was a person named Lu Renjia who was out asking to see him, and he said that he was a relative of the master. ”

"Huh? It's him? Lu Jin's brows furrowed slightly, how could this person come to Beijing to see him at this time? Is it because you have encountered some trouble, or because you heard that you have been promoted, so you want to seek benefits?
