After the repulsion of the Mongols, there is still a lot of follow-up work waiting for the officials to deal with. For example, the government is naturally responsible for rebuilding the houses in the city that were demolished to resist the Tartars, such as the people who died in the city, the government is also responsible for the collection, and the soldiers are better to say that the army will pay the silver for the pension, and those who are inspired to take the initiative to go to the city to help but die in the battle need the government to come forward to appease the people.

Fortunately, this time, Guangling City reflected a strong cohesion and completely repelled the strong enemy, so whether it was the Datong Mansion or the Shanxi Political Envoy, they were willing to allocate a part of the silver, otherwise only relying on the Guangling County Ya's treasury silver would not be able to solve such a problem.

There is also the repair of the city wall, as well as the burial of the killed Mongolian people outside the city, which need to be slowly implemented by the government, and also require a lot of manpower and material resources as a logistical guarantee. In fact, this is also the reason why Daming has stopped using troops lightly over the years, because the monarchs and ministers of the court know that the price they need to pay once they fight is too heavy, and even if they conquer the entire grassland, there is no practical benefit for Daming, so it is better to guard their own door.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Lu Jin, because he is still injured, and he is a meritorious man, everyone knows that it was he Lu County who led the soldiers and civilians of the city to block the crazy attack of the Tartars, and in the end even he himself was hit by an arrow and fell. With such a great achievement, who would bother him to do such trivial aftermath?

All these matters were handled by the two lieutenants and the relevant officials sent from Datong. And what Lu Zhen has to do is to rest in the county government and heal his injuries as soon as possible.

Lu Zhen was actually a little uneasy about such an arrangement, but after he tried to ask about the relevant matters, but was politely declined, he didn't look for himself anymore.

Of course, he would not be naïve to think that these people were really sharing the work for him, in fact, these officials were so willing to do things that did not belong to them, in addition to orders from above, but also because they could get a lot of benefits from them. I'm afraid that one-third of those pension money will go into the pockets of these officials of different yamen, even in the hands of Lu Jin, there is an extra benefit of three hundred taels for no reason.

In this regard, although Lu Zhen was a little dissatisfied, he was helpless. This is the unspoken rule of officialdom, with his current status, it is impossible to compete with this powerful force, otherwise he will only become the enemy of everyone, and he doesn't know how he will die in the end.

So he kept silent, as if he didn't know anything. But he didn't dare to accept the money. So he found an opportunity and asked Lin Lie to give it to the soldiers who were defending the city, and only said that this was a reward from Lu County.

In this regard, the soldiers in the Guangling barracks had a higher opinion of him, and his name even overshadowed the new general. Even as long as he spoke, these soldiers were willing to follow him out of Guangling......

However, what Lu Zhen didn't know was that his name was now not limited to the acre and three points of land in Guangling County, and this victory had made his name spread all over the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty.

There's no way, now the Daming border is too calm, and there is almost no conflict, let alone a victory. Lu Jin, a civil official, was able to block the crazy attacks of several Mengren with only a few hundred defenders, which in itself is a legendary and commendable thing. What's more, there are many twists and turns, which makes people talk about it even more.

Even those state and county guards who had some opinions about Lu Zhen before, and even watched from the wall in this battle, were also amazed after learning about this, although they didn't say it, they felt a little confused in their hearts.

Martial artists are naturally much simpler than literati, they will hate someone because of one thing, and they will also turn from hatred to respect because of another thing.

Lu Jin's previous ruin of their financial resources was certainly dissatisfying, but his courage and various actions when defending the city made them feel admired. The generals always admire those who can have real skills, even if they are not of the same kind as themselves, they are also sincerely admired.

Especially when they heard that Lu Jin's attitude towards the Tartars was very tough, and they also felt that they should use troops against the grassland, they had a better impression of him. For this reason, when some military generals arrange a certain civil official in front of their subordinates, they will often take Lu Zhen out as a comparison object, and as soon as they open their mouths, they will say: "Look at the Lu Jin Lu County Order of Guangling County, if he is replaced, this thing will definitely not be done like this......

As a result, Lu Jin's reputation in the border army also increased rapidly, and for a while, everyone knew that there was such a powerful official who could be civil and martial, and even built an airship that could anticipate the enemy's opportunities.

With the victory of the Battle of Guangling, some inside stories were quickly revealed, among which the news that the airship had discovered the enemy's traces several hours earlier, thus giving the defenders enough time to react was also known.

Originally, although Hu Sui strongly recommended it, except for Datong and other cities in Shanxi, no one took this strange airship seriously. But now it is different, the generals of several border towns have specially sent people to ask Hu Sui about the airship, and even paid for craftsmen, or bought finished products to go back, which also made Hu Sui show his face while earning a vote.

And all this has made Lu Zhen gain a lot of fame, and many border soldiers simply worship Lu Zhen as a god when they see the airship floating high.

People have always had dreams of flying, but this can only appear in everyone's dreams, and it is difficult to achieve. But now, through Lu Jin's plan, he can really send people to heaven, if this is not a god, who else dares to call it a god?

Seeing this, Hu Sui knew that the time had come, so he hurriedly added another document to the good news, bluntly saying that the airship had a role in defending the city on the border, and hoped that the imperial court could adopt this thing and implement it throughout the country.

So before Lu Zhen knew it, his name not only spread on the border of the north, but also in the Beijing court, and I am afraid that he will soon hear his name.

@@@@@

At the end of April and the beginning of May, the city of Beijing has gradually become a little hot, especially in some cramped and narrow courtyards, which is even more stuffy.

Generally speaking, the imperial palace is the center of the Ming Dynasty, and the residence of the Son of Heaven is the most noble place, so it is naturally impossible to have any cramped courtyards. But there are exceptions to everything, in addition to the palace where the Son of Heaven and the harem concubines live every day, in fact, there are many places in the Forbidden City that are very inconsistent with the noble status here.

For example, the residences of the eunuchs and palace maids, because of their lowly status, it is impossible to have a spacious residence; For example, the cabinet and the celebrant are in charge of the power of the Ming center, which is also a small and cramped environment, especially in summer, if you don't put a few ice basins in it, it will be similar to taking a sauna in later generations.

Although the weather is not as hot as summer today, it is already a little hot. Although the doors and windows are open, because they are surrounded by tall palaces, they are still very stuffy and hot in them, and this is the situation in the celebrant now.

But even so, there are still countless eunuchs who yearn for it and flock to it. I was bent on camping and seeking, just to be able to blend in with this small courtyard. Because this small courtyard represents the supreme power hub of the Ming Dynasty, it is an existence that can compete with the cabinet, so some people call it the inner court.

As the head of the celebrant eunuch, the eunuch with the palm seal is called the inner minister. In addition to the palm seal eunuch headed by this celebrant eunuch, there are also three or four eunuchs who are in the pen and a number of eunuchs in the court, and this structure seems to be very similar to the cabinet.

Since the first emperor Xuanzong established the Ministry of Ceremonies, this institution specially taken out by the Son of Heaven to fight against foreign court officials has become more and more powerful. Because the eunuchs here not only have the right to approve red, but also have the Dongchang as a strong guarantee for the implementation of power, which is not available to the officials of the outer court.

According to the system, the chief eunuch of the celebrant is also the governor of the East Factory. For the existence of Dongchang, whether it is the current Ming Dynasty or the next few hundred years, it is a well-known existence that is known to women and children.

However, there is one thing that many people are not too clear, that is, although the Admiral of Dongchang is domineering outside, it seems that he dares to do anything, and anyone dares to kill, but when he really enters the palace, when he is in charge of the eunuch who is in charge of the boss and the eunuch, he can only be obedient and bow his head. Because among the eunuchs in the entire palace, this palm seal eunuch is the real most powerful person, who can decide the life and death of all other eunuchs.

And now Wang Zhen's father-in-law is the eunuch of the palm seal of the celebrant eunuch, and his power is enough to compete with the ministers of the outer court, and even in the name of the Son of Heaven, he can firmly suppress half of them.

However, the prince has some worries recently, and after being caught off guard at the beginning, the outer court has gradually come back to his senses and slowly began to confront him. Although Wang Zhen has used his own means to deal with many officials who dare to provoke trouble, he has not been able to curb this trend, which makes him feel a little difficult to deal with.

At this time, Wang Zhen felt that he needed a hearty merit to shut up the ministers, and he was more eager to make military achievements for the Ming Dynasty like his ancestor Zheng He! But obviously, these are just imaginations, and with the recent conservative practices of the imperial court, it is impossible to start a war lightly.

Just as he was looking at the notes sent listlessly, Wang Zhen's eyes suddenly froze, and he fell on the document in his hand in a daze, with a smile on his face, his hand trembled, and even a drop of vermilion ink dripped on another note......
