Chapter 535: After the Tribulation
When Lu Zhen returned to Beijing, it was already the morning of the next day.
At this time, the Jingshi has long been completely different from the previous situation of saber rattling and panic, the city and the outside are jubilant, hundreds of people have taken to the streets, to welcome the victorious return of the Zhulu officials and soldiers, although the nine gates and the city wall by the damage caused by the Mongolian people is still everywhere, but these can now only become a topic of conversation for everyone to celebrate the victory.
And when they saw that Lu Zhen and his party escorted the corpses of thousands of Tartars, and after more than 100 captives returned, from the city gate all the way in, hundreds of people watched and cheered, and many people even picked up stones and other objects on the ground and threw them at those corpses and prisoners, as if to vent all the fright and panic they had suffered during this time.
Knowing that Lu Zhen had returned triumphantly, Yu Qiandang, who was dealing with many affairs in the second hall, greeted him in person. Seeing that he had brought back so many enemy corpses, Yu Qian was even more overjoyed, and after applauding again and again, he stepped forward and took Lu Jin's hand and said to the many officials and people watching around him: "You may not know that this time I was able to repel the Tartars in a short period of time in Beijing, in fact, it was Lu Langzhong's previous advice." Not only that, but long before the Tartars arrived, he had personally led people out of the city for foreign aid regardless of his own safety. Now, he has made a great contribution to the killing of so many Tartars for the imperial court, which is really admirable. As he spoke, he solemnly stood up and bowed to Lu Jin.
As soon as Lu Jin saw his action, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, and at the same time bowed to Yu Qian, and said: "My lord's words are serious, and the lower officials can't afford it." The lower officials did all this, but they were just doing their duty. If you really want to talk about the credit, it can't be compared to Lord Yu, who sat in the capital and led everyone to resist the onslaught of the Tartars. ”
After the surrounding people heard the words of the two, they cheered and admired again, and as for those officials, they looked at Lu Jin's eyes with envy and complexity. It seems that this young man will soon really rise from the court, and he will have to be close to him in the future.
Originally, Lu Zhen also aroused the jealousy and dissatisfaction of many old ministers in the court because of his extraordinarily close confidants of the Son of Heaven, after all, his age and qualifications were not convincing enough, but luck and, he had a friendship with the Son of Heaven when he was still the king of Yu, which is no different from opportunism.
But this time, Lu Jin's contribution to the court is real, and Yu Qian's words will not be false, so everyone's perception of him has changed, and he is really regarded as an important minister of the court with the same status as himself.
In the face of everyone's praise, Lu Zhen was very modest, so he was able to walk back to the military headquarters with Yu Qian. Then the two of them told their respective situations after separation, and they both sighed. After listening to Lu Zhen say that Hua Xian disobeyed the order and brought people back to Beijing privately, Yu Qian snorted dissatisfiedly: "I really have a big problem with the military discipline of the Ming Dynasty, and I have to rectify it in the future." ”
In this regard, Lu Zhen did not have much hope, because he knew very well that such a hundred years of legacy problems were far from being something that he or Yu Qian could do. So I just answered a few times casually and didn't say anything more.
After everything was explained, and the relevant inspection of the number of enemies killed and captured over there was also completed, Yu Qian looked at Lu Jin, who was full of fatigue, and asked him to go home and rest, because he would have to participate in Zhu Jie's big court meeting tomorrow.
In this regard, Lu Zhen no longer shirked, and after thanking Yu Qian, he took Qinggel and left the yamen of the military department.
During this time, although he had not participated in any battles before, his spirit was extremely tense and he had hardly slept well. So at this time, he was exhausted both physically and mentally, and he just relied on his will and the excitement after the big victory.
Now that everything had been handed over, he felt the burden on his shoulders lighter, and he also felt the exhaustion rushing over him like a mountain. This made Lu Zhen go straight into the room after returning home, without having time to wash up, and fell asleep on the bed.
This night, he slept until the sky was dark, but it was Qingge who called him at the door for a long time, so that Lu Zhen slowly woke up from the dark sweetness, but found that the day was dark and gloomy: "Did I sleep until night this time?" ”
Hearing his muttering, Qinggel smiled bitterly: "My lord, it's time now, and you've slept for almost a day and a night." ”
"What?" Lu Jin's face was in disbelief, but the hunger in his stomach immediately proved the truth of the other party's words. It seems that I am so tired that I completely forget the time as soon as I fall asleep. Fortunately, there is Qinggel by his side, otherwise even today's court meeting would have been missed.
"Thank you......" Lu Zhen took the face towel handed by the other party and wiped his face, and remembered a little: "You used to be a thousand households of Jinyiwei, and because of Ma Shun's previous relationship in power, you had to leave and follow me." Over the years, I have wronged you. Now, Ma Shun is dead, and Wang Zhen and his party have also been purged, if you want to go back, I can still ask for a seal for you in front of Your Majesty. I don't know what you think? ”
Qinggele's face changed slightly, he hadn't even thought about returning to Jinyiwei these days, but now when he heard Lu Zhen mention it, he felt a little weird. After being silent for a while, he said: "Actually, I know that my identity is different from others, and I have always been excluded in the Jinyi Guard. If it weren't for Xu Dudu's attention, I wouldn't have been able to stay in Jinyiwei for too long. What are you going back to do now? ”
"And what are your plans for the future?" Lu Zhen asked again. He still remembers clearly that he was able to take Qingle as his subordinate because of that promise, and now the promise has been fulfilled......
"At the beginning, my lord, you promised me that I would definitely avenge Xu Dudu. Now, Ma Shun, who killed him, has been killed in public, although it was not killed by my own hands, but it can be regarded as revenge. And all of this is also due to you, my lord. I don't know anything else, but I still understand the truth of knowing the kindness of the retribution, if the adults don't dislike my identity as a human being, please let me follow you all the time. Qingler said, looking at each other expectantly.
Lu Jin's heart was overjoyed. To be honest, he is also indispensable for Qingge and Lin Lie to help by his side. Now hearing him say this, he was naturally overjoyed, but then he frowned slightly: "But in this way, I have wronged you a little." ”
"What did the adults say, you never treated me and Brother Lin as subordinates, where did we get our grievances?"
"That being said, but you don't have a background after all, especially you, who were originally Jinyi Wei Qianhu......" Lu Zhen hesitated slightly, and finally made up his mind: "That's it, you have also made a lot of contributions this time, and when the meritorious deeds are rewarded, I will explain this matter to Your Majesty, and I will give you an official position at that time." Of course, I will also ask Your Majesty for a favor to continue to follow me in my affairs. ”
"Thank you, sir." Qingge immediately thanked him, and then looked up at the sky: "It's not too early, my lord, let's go, if it's too late, maybe you won't be able to catch up with today's court meeting." ”
Lu Zhen then remembered that there was such an important matter, so he quickly changed into the court clothes he wore during the court meeting, took the two white-flour steamed buns handed by the other party, and strode out of the house.
At this time, Tiancai was just slightly shining, but there were already many horses and vehicles on the streets of the capital that were constantly rushing towards the direction of the imperial city. This is the first time that such a situation has appeared in the past half a month, which made Lu Jin, who was walking on the road, feel a sense of steadfastness that he had not seen for a long time.
Speaking of which, Lu Jin, the soldier of the army, looked really shabby, at this time, the Shang Dynasty actually walked away, and there was only one companion by his side. If this is a few decades later, this school alone may be impeached by the officials, and he will lose his identity and not pay attention to the official body.
Fortunately, the current Ming Dynasty has just entered a period of transition, and the wind of extravagance will not rise, and the carriage and horses are only allowed to be rided.
It's just that Lu Jin's journey still attracted the attention of many people, and some officials were looking at this young red-robed official with eyes full of envy and admiration. Even if they may not recognize Lu Jin, because there are too few officials in the court who can wear red robes at his age, and there are even fewer young high-ranking officials who do not ride on carriages and horses, everyone recognizes his identity at a glance.
For this Lu Langzhong, who has won the trust of the Son of Heaven, and has made great contributions this time, killing thousands of enemies, everyone is naturally impressed. Even many people deliberately approached to talk to Lu Jinpan, but they didn't do more communication because they were in a hurry to rush to the palace before Chenshi.
In this way, Lu Zhen and some officials chatted casually, and rushed to the palace, at this time, all the officials of all sizes in the capital had gathered here, and everyone's faces were filled with festive smiles.
Seeing Lu Jin's arrival, many officials who had been friends with him also greeted him one after another and congratulated him again and again. In this regard, Lu Zhen is very modest, which can be regarded as coping with the past.
At this moment, a bell of Qingyue rang from the closed palace gate, and then the palace doors also opened one after another, and everyone returned to their positions, concentrating and calming, and did not dare to make another sound, because after half a month, the great court meeting of the Ming Dynasty was about to start again.
And the meaning of today's court meeting is even more different than usual, so it is natural to be serious......
