In the days that followed, Lu Zhen became idle again, and Wang Zhen never sent anyone to contact him, as if they had forgotten about it. However, there is one thing they told him early on, that is, don't go to the ministry to register your name first, as for what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, Lu Zhen can't guess.

However, his life is quite comfortable, whether it is accommodation or three meals a day, someone prepares it for him early, and he doesn't have to worry about it at all. Even because of the heat, the people in the courtyard prepared ice cubes for him to cool down, which is not a treatment that ordinary officials can enjoy.

In this regard, Lu Zhen did not sincerely refuse, but accepted it calmly. Because he knew that this was just a means for Wang Zhen to show his sincerity and buy him. The more you don't make any excuses in this kind of thing, the more you will believe that you are a person who can be taken advantage of, and the more sharp the effect of the counterattack will be.

However, it is easy to come to Beijing City, which belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and it is naturally impossible for Lu Zhen to lock himself up in this small world all day. And those who were sent to "take care" of themselves did not say that they wanted to ban their feet, so they rested in the courtyard for two days, and after washing away the fatigue from afar, Lu Zhen took two daughters and walked around Beijing accompanied by Lin Lie.

Speaking of which, Lu Jina also traveled to Beijing once before the crossing. However, at that time, it was a group, and all the places were swept by, and it was really impossible to appreciate the essence of this thousand-year-old capital. Even because of the comprehensive development at that time, the high-rise buildings everywhere and the transportation lines extending in all directions, the charm of Beijing in history has long been destroyed. All he was left with was an extremely vague impression and hundreds of photos stored in the network disk.

And now, leisurely walking in the streets and alleys of the capital, looking at the daily life of those Ming people living here, Lu Zhen feels that this Beijing city is completely alive. There are no high-rise buildings that cover the sky and the sun, and there are no cars whistling back and forth, and the rhythm of the city has completely slowed down.

What's more, there are many famous attractions in Beijing that he can visit one by one. Xiangshan, Great Mercy and Grace Temple...... These sites, which used to be famous and could only be visited in a slow queue with many tourists, are now empty, with only a handful of literati and artists where they can express their inspiration.

It is especially important to note that there is no need to buy tickets for these attractions at this time. If he wants to enter, he can go in and have a tour, and if he doesn't feel like he's happy today, he can come back tomorrow. In the whole city of Beijing, except for the most famous scenic spot because there is still an owner in it, not outsiders can approach it casually, other scenery and historic sites have been seen by Lu Zhen and his party in half a month.

Of course, it's not all about relaxation and relaxation. In fact, not long after going out on the first day, Lin Lie whispered with a vigilant face: "My lord, we have been following people behind us all the time. In fact, not only did we come out and some people followed, but after we entered the house two days ago, there were people in the neighborhood who couldn't stay around, do we need to drive them away? ”

"No!" Lu Zhen shook his head categorically: "They should have been sent over there to watch me, after all, I am a very important chess piece for them, and if I don't keep an eye on them, I am afraid that they will not be at ease." As he spoke, his eyes narrowed, so it seemed that the matter was far more serious than he thought, and he actually worked so many people around him, even when he went out to shop, there were a lot of tails.

But soon, Lu Zhen adjusted his mentality again: "If they want to follow, let them follow, and we won't suffer anyway." If there is any conflict with people, it may be easier to deal with them with them. "After all, these guys are not Dongchang, they should be Jinyiwei's people, and dealing with some ordinary ruffians or something should be something that can be caught by hand.

Seeing Lu Jin say this, Lin Lie no longer insisted, but the vigilance in his heart was a little higher, as Lu Jin's henchman, of course he knew what his adult was thinking.

But I don't know if it's because these people around me have made preparations early, anyway, in the past few days, Lu Zhen really hasn't encountered any trouble in the capital, and he has spent half a month in a relaxed and comfortable way, which can be said to have greatly compensated for the regret of visiting Beijing in a hurry.

At this time, the days had come to the end of June, and he had been in the capital for more than 20 days. In the past twenty days, the other party has not moved at all, which makes Lu Jin start to lose his breath a little, although it is really good to live like this, but he doesn't want to become the happy Liu Adou.

But this matter is not something that a small person like him can have the final say, and he knocked on the side with the people in the courtyard several times, and they only pushed and didn't know anything, which really made Lu Zhen feel a little helpless.

That afternoon, because of their uncertain thoughts, Lu Zhen and the others only wandered around for half a day before returning to their residence. And at the moment when he entered the door, the man who had been guarding the door and acting as a porter reported: "Lu County Order, Gonggong Qin has been waiting inside for a long time. ”

It's finally here! When Lu Zhen heard this, his spirit was lifted, and his expression was both apprehensive, but more excited. After many days, they finally contacted themselves again, which means that their plan is about to begin, and they can finally do something.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhen nodded, restrained his thoughts and said, "I'll go and change my clothes first and go to see him." ”

After another moment, Lu Jin, who had changed into a loose robe, came to the guest hall, and saw Gonggong Qin sitting there with a calm expression, sipping a cup of tea, full of leisure, as if he hadn't waited too long.

"Xiaguan has seen Gonggong Qin, Gonggong Qin, you really told Xiaguan to wait." When Lu Zhen walked into the hall, he smiled and clasped his fists and saluted.

When he said this, Father-in-law Qin was stunned, and the tea in his mouth almost squirted out. After knowing the news of Lu Jin's return, he still thought about how he would apologize to himself, but he didn't expect this guy to beat him upside down, saying that he was waiting.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing wrong with Lu Jin's words, wasn't he just waiting in this capital? This realization made a smile appear on Gonggong Qin's face again: "Lu Xianling, you are really a master who dares to speak." We just hope that when we need you to speak tomorrow, you can say so neatly. ”

Lu Zhen walked next to him and sat down as well, then said with a smile: "Xiaguan is not very good, but when it comes to speaking, he still has some experience." As he spoke, his expression was solemn: "Father-in-law Qin, you came here in person today, but do you need a subordinate official in that matter?" ”

Gonggong Qin didn't go around any more circles this time, and immediately nodded: "Yes, this time you are working for the prince, and the opportunity to soar has come." And this time, you can still show your face in the imperial court, and soon not only the Beijing imperial court, but also other provinces in the Ming Dynasty will also know the name of your Lu County Order. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Jin's heart moved, and he didn't feel a little eager to try.

"Three days later, it was the first day of the seventh month, the day of the pilgrimage. The prince intends to let you appear at the court meeting, and tell you your opinion about the Mongolian Tartars, and my Ming can take the initiative to use troops against them to reproduce the great achievements of my Yongle Emperor! This is a great opportunity to show yourself in front of the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, how many people can't ask for such an opportunity in their lifetime, our family thinks that you Lu County Ling shouldn't be timid to retreat, right? As he spoke, he took out a roll of things from his sleeve and pushed it to Lu Jin.

Lu Jin, who was beside him, did not take this thing, but sat there in a daze, looking like he was wandering out of the world and stunned. This was not what he pretended, but he was really shocked by the other party's words.

Lu Zhen had also guessed how Wang Zhen would use himself before, such as letting himself go to the military department to make suggestions, or letting himself play the banner of using troops against the Tartars at a certain yamen, and then let some people help build momentum and advocate to achieve their goals.

Unexpectedly, the other party played so big, and actually brought himself directly to the court meeting, and it was the largest, and it was held three or five times a month, and the force of this impact was too great, so that it was difficult for him to come back to his senses for a long time.

But if you think about it carefully, this can also explain why Wang Zhen and the others want to come to him again after half a month. It is not easy to get such a seven-grade county order into the court meeting site, obviously they need to make some arrangements and dots. Coupled with the rarity of the Great Pilgrimage, it has been delayed until today.

It wasn't until he saw Lu Zhen come back to his senses that Gonggong Qin stared at him and said, "Lu County Order, you won't back down from this matter today, right?" ”

After Lu Jin's initial shock, he soon became happy again. If he really went to the court, the impact of his counterattack would really be big enough, and it would be difficult for Wang Zhen and them to have a chance to make up for it. Thinking of this, he nodded: "Thanks to the appreciation of the prince, how dare the lower officials retreat?" This is ......," he said, his gaze falling on the scroll again.

"You may not be able to really understand how to say some things, so we have prepared these words for you, hoping that you Lu County Order can memorize them all by heart, and there will be no stubble at that time. There can't be any problems at the court! "Qin Gong is fair.

Lu Zhen hurriedly opened the scroll and glanced at it casually, and then nodded solemnly: "Xia Guan understands, I will memorize it in the next two days, and I will never let things go wrong." ”

"Very well, as long as it gets done, it will be indispensable for your benefits. But if something goes wrong because of you, I don't need to say anything more about it. After admonishing Lu Jin a few more words, Gonggong Qin stood up: "In the next few days, don't go out again, prepare here." ”
