Chapter 464: The Difference Between a Partner and a Dead Friend

Since Zhang Yue was responsible for transporting 10,000 Yongle handcuffs and 5,000 sets of armor to Xuanfu, according to Zhu Di's practice of employing people, it was natural that a minister should be sent to supervise it. This time, the emperor of the Northern Expedition was keeping a close eye on it, and it was not so easy to rub oil on the military supplies, and the amount of gunpowder to be transported was huge, and it would be unlucky if there was a slight mistake, so no one in the heads of the 12 prisons, 4 divisions and 8 bureaus of the Inner Government was willing to go. After discussing and discussing, it was easy to elect a person.

At this moment, the eunuch who was called by his colleagues that the emperor must be trustworthy, but his face was as black as coal. Walking side by side with Zhang Yue, he casually looked at the neat wicker boxes next to him, and finally couldn't help but sneer.

"Fortunately, our family listened to Lord Xiao Zhang, and quietly handed over his heart to His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, so that the crown prince said something good to me, otherwise our family would not only have taken such a trip, but also had to leave the errand of the East Factory and the celebrant supervisor, and go to Xuanfu to blow the northwest wind for a lifetime! Our family can understand it now, this palace is pitch black, so many people are united to calculate one of our family, even the master just said a few words of comfort that are not salty or light! Fuck, these bastards! ”

Zhang Yue didn't need to turn his head sideways to know that Lu Feng must be gritting his teeth, and he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart. Although he is quite wary of this ambitious and insatiable guy, this trip to the Xuanfu is not as good as in the past, if he sends a big eunuch to point fingers, it is not as good as Lu Feng. Therefore, he said a few words of comfort, but his eyes were paying attention to the scene around him.

This is the Inner Government Military War Bureau located on the right side of the Qianming Gate of the Imperial City, when he was in the Arsenal Division of the Ministry of War, he only had to deal with the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry to levy weapons, so it was the first time he set foot here. The armor factory under the Ordnance Bureau was in charge of manufacturing armor, the Wang Gong factory was responsible for manufacturing ordinary guns according to the Fu Tu and under the supervision of the internal officials, and the most critical gunpowder was produced by the Internal Military Bureau. As for the design and manufacture of new weapons, etc., they are also under the responsibility of this place. In just one workshop he had just passed, he saw hundreds of craftsmen, and according to Lu Feng, the total number of craftsmen in the entire military battle bureau was as high as 2,000!

After a while, a group of people finally heard the news and greeted them. At the fore was a eunuch with a bucket waist, and from a distance, it seemed as if he had rolled out instead of coming out. With a smile on his face, he led everyone forward to salute, and then rolled up his sleeves and said, "Father-in-law Lu and Lord Xiao Zhang forgive their sins, because they have been sorting out the things to be shipped out in the past few days, so they are a step late." It's just that the two of you don't worry, this time they are all instructed to choose the best goods......"

"Don't talk nonsense, our family won't come back as soon as we go to Xuanfu this time, and you don't dare to play tricks on those official matters!"

Since he was holding back the fire in his belly, Lu Feng couldn't vent at others, so he could only sprinkle his anger on the godson of Liu Yongcheng, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch. Seeing that the fat eunuch nodded and replied, Zhang Yue glanced at the annoyed Lu Feng, and then quietly pulled him aside and reminded a few words in a low voice. At this time, Lu Feng remembered that there were five hundred elite elites in the Beijing camp with him this time, and his safety would still fall on these people, so he woke up.

After pacing back slowly, he drove away the fat eunuch's entourage with a straight face, and then said with a smile: "Since it is Lord Xiao Zhang who agrees, our family is too lazy to bother with you." We only ask you, this time I came to deliver things to you in person, what good things do you have to honor? ”

In the face of this blatant bribery, the fat eunuch was suddenly taken aback, and seeing Lu Feng's eyes staring at him, he couldn't help rubbing his hands in embarrassment and laughing: "Isn't Grandpa Lu embarrassed?" The things that this military bureau deals with are those cold things, either gunpowder or firearms, where can they be worthy of the boss or the royal supervisor. Otherwise, Xiao just got a fine fox skin robe a few days ago......"

"Who wants you to honor these!" Lu Feng interrupted the other party's words suddenly, and said angrily, "Our family is asking you if there are any new things that can be used on the battlefield in the War Bureau, if our family encounters a Tartar, we can also try the power, isn't it better than you test it with wood and stones on the martial arts field?" We will mention this matter to the emperor, and it will not be your business! ”

The fat eunuch was originally going to cut his flesh and bleed ruthlessly, but he didn't want Lu Feng to become so talkative, so he was stunned. However, he came to his senses in an instant, thinking that the things of the war bureau were not his own, and it was better than taking out real money. So, he immediately nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, there will be a few craftsmen who have developed a new type of magic arrow and magic gun, not to mention the range of the previous one, and the gunpowder is less prone to moisture." It's just that after the finished things are done, they have only been tested twice on the test ground of Wang Gong's factory, father-in-law, you can see ......"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense, since you said yes, then put two boxes each, and then try it out."

Lu Feng asked again, and when he saw Zhang Yue shaking his head, he stopped the lion's big mouth and continued to blackmail, and followed Zhang Yue to review and pack them one by one according to the number of items on the list. When he left the war bureau, he let out a long sigh and said to Zhang Yue: "Lord Xiao Zhang, since something happened in Jingying, the emperor has never sent the admiral and ministers inside, at most, he sent people over every once in a while, and I am afraid that the Marquis of An Yuan will not be treated by our family in the past." When you go to this trick, there are other things to do with our cooking, it's better to go back to those people last time, doesn't this fat water flow into the fields of outsiders? ”

For this kind of analogy, Zhang Yue couldn't help but smile secretly, but he agreed without a doubt. When the two were about to part ways, a little eunuch ran over at the gate of the courtyard of the War Bureau, and he panted as soon as he stood still: "Gonggong Lu, Lord Xiao Zhang, someone from the Metropolitan Procuratorate has automatically asked for help, and the emperor has already approved it." ”

"Approved?" Lu Feng frowned, became angry again, and asked at Zhang Yue, "Isn't it that the thickest-skinned old Liu Guancheng in the Metropolitan Procuratorate can't get along with you?" Hai Datou clearly said that the emperor asked you to pick people personally! Now that the war is about to start, it is not a good place there, and it may start at any time, who will be so full and support the imperial history who says a lot and does little? ”

Without waiting for Zhang Yue to speak, the little eunuch hurriedly explained: "I heard that Yang Shiqi and Yang Ge recommended a jinshi to study punishment in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and now he is still trying to supervise the imperial history, as if he is called ...... It seems to be called Yu Qian! ”

Lu Feng was unfamiliar with this name, but Zhang Yue almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears. He was not familiar with the situation in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he simply asked Hu Qi to ask Yuan Fang for help, ready to choose an honest man who would not drag his feet, who knew that it was Yu Qian who volunteered to choose and choose. Although it was Yu Shaobao, who would be famous in the future, Yu Qian was a fledgling at the moment, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to go to Xuanfu with him this time.

"Lord Zhang!"

A spirit came back to his senses, and seeing that Lu Feng was already a little impatient on his face, Zhang Yue smiled and said: "It's okay, anyway, most of the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate may not like us, and it's the same for everyone." Yu Tingyi is a new science and technology scholar, and he shouldn't be like other metropolitan procuratorates, so he catches the wind and rain, so it's good for him. ”

Let's say that Lu Feng is very happy, he didn't take a mere supervision of the imperial history in his eyes, not to mention that Yu Qian was just studying and had not yet been officially conferred, and he didn't bother to care about this matter at the moment, so he nodded happily and Shi Shiran left. Because the Qianming Gate is close to the West Palace, Zhang Yue went straight along the moat along the original road, crossed the north gate and the middle gate of the west, crossed the bridge on the moat, he followed the palace wall on the side of the Xihua Gate, and finally went out of the right gate. After walking for half an hour, he walked out of the palace from the left gate of Chang'an, but it was already noon.

Hu Qi, who was waiting on East Chang'an Street, immediately led his horse to meet him, and after seeing Zhang Yue, he whispered: "The British Duke just came out of the palace and happened to see me, so let me tell the young master that he had tactfully persuaded the emperor, so the emperor changed his mind, and this time the northern expedition did not bring the imperial grandson with him, and he also said, please take the young master with Brother Peng this time, and return it to him when the army arrives at Xuanfu." ”

Knowing that Zhang Fu had done this, and had actually lent Peng Shisan to himself at this moment, Zhang Yue was naturally very happy in his heart, and he also deeply felt Zhang Fu's kindness. Since the day of departure was set for the day after tomorrow, he had to rush back to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to hand over the affairs, and Cui Fanzhi, the foreign officer, took over the post of Langzhong, and went to see Zhao Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War. That night, several colleagues and subordinates of the Arsenal Division made a trip for him in Du Kanglou, and during the banquet, they naturally staggered and frequently persuaded him to drink, and in the end, Wan Shijie was righteous enough to block it for him, and in the end, the two of them were too drunk to ride a horse, and Hu Qi could only hire a carriage to send the two of them back.

Sitting in the bumpy car, the half-drunk Zhang Yue glanced at Wanshijie, and said almost without thinking: "Lao Wan, although I have many brothers and sisters in my family, there is no one who can support the beam at the moment, I am afraid that I will have to trouble you to pay attention to it these days." And my father-in-law, he is still locked up in the Fusi Prison in Beizhen, even if Xiao Wu takes care of his mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law will take care of it, but after all, there is no man in charge of the family, I'm afraid I have to bother you and Xiao Xia......"

Before he finished speaking, the drunk Wan Shijie waved his hand angrily and said, "Don't worry...... Rest assured that you are ...... Your home is me...... My family, you...... Your father-in-law is me...... My father-in-law, I want to ...... Be free to ...... Be sure to come over and help! You...... You guy, how ...... How long has it been since I been to Du's house...... Difficult...... Could it be that you are ...... My mother-in-law didn't say it, I ...... I go to ...... a lot Go and see her......"

Hearing the previous sentence, Zhang Yue couldn't help but be angry and funny, thinking that this unruly guy really dared to say it. But when he heard the next sentence, he was immediately stunned, thinking that Wan Shijie was not familiar with his old father-in-law, how could he be so attentive? However, the more Wanshijie spoke, the more vague it became, and in the end, the words spoken were unrecognizable. Rao was still unconscious, but he still unconsciously thought of an incredible possibility.

This year, since the lightning strike at the beginning of the year, the three major halls caused the fire, almost the whole season of many disasters, could it be that at the end of the year, his dead friend will make a comedy?
