Zhu Jiang was very happy to see these generals complimenting him, standing in the lobby and saying with a smile: "Okay, today I will meet you brothers for the first time, tonight in Dongcheng Drunken Immortal Building, Lao Tzu arranges for everyone to drink and play with women, don't save money for Lao Tzu!" ”

Most of the middle-level officers of the Yamen under the command of the infantry army came from the first division, and they were not very familiar with Zhu Jiang's second division system, but they were all soldiers, and they all liked to drink and play with women, so these Qiu Ba were overjoyed when they heard Zhu Jiang say this, and they applauded loudly one by one. Top X point 23 small U says S

Now it is almost evening, just when there are all the people, Ma Rufeng left the unlucky ghost on duty and rushed to the drunken immortal building in Dongcheng with most of the people. This meal is naturally enjoyable, they are all soldiers, and their interests and hobbies are similar, and for a while, the drunken fairy building is like a vegetable market.

Ma Rufeng and Zhu Jiang had something in their hearts, so they didn't drink much, seeing that everyone was almost drunk, Ma Rufeng pulled Jiang Pengju and said in a low voice: "Old Jiang, I have some things to do with King Qin first, you accompany me here first!" ”

Jiang Pengju saw that the wine was dying, he had already drunk five or six points drunk, and when he heard Ma Rufeng say this, he said loudly: "Okay! Ma Laosan, go ahead, there is Lao Tzu here, you will definitely be able to drink these grandchildren! ”

Ma Rufeng was worried when he saw Jiang Pengju like this, afraid that he would drink too much and make a mistake, but today he must do this matter himself. There was no way Ma Rufeng could only do this, taking advantage of the chaos in the house, he took Zhu Jiang quietly out of the gate of the Drunken Immortal Building.

Zhu Jiang came out and was blown by the wind and woke up a lot, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, what are you taking me out for?" ”

"Come with me, I'll take you to the New Year!"

Fang Fengnian is the same year as Ma Jiyuan, although Ma Jiyuan went home, but the second year of the Apocalypse in the DPRK still has some strength, and these people are now only looking forward to the new year. When Ma Jiyuan left, he also asked Fang Fengnian to take care of his two sons, so today Ma Rufeng took Zhu Jiang to find Fang Fengnian and asked this old guy to analyze what was going on.

The two uncles and nephews hired two small sedan chairs from the street and rushed to Fang Fengnian's mansion in Xicheng.

People are divided into groups by clusters, and the members of the second year of the Apocalypse Alumni Association are similar to Ma Jiyuan, looking like Mr. Taoist. But Ma Jiyuan handed over all his family property to the public back then, leaving only 20 acres of land for retirement, this is Mr. Zhendaoxue, and the others are just learning from others.

As the Shangshu who is in charge of the taxes, land, and population of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally has great power in his hands, and there are tens of thousands of silver dollars in the provinces every year. But Fang Fengnian wanted to make a clean appearance and set up his home in the birch factory alley in Xizhimen.

Zhu Jiang came to Fang Fengnian's door, looked left and right, and then asked, "Uncle, this is Fang Shangshu's home?" ”

Ma Rufeng looked at the plaque of "Fang Mansion" on the door, and then said: "This is it, this is the first time I have come." ”

Zhu Jiang looked at the gate less than half a meter wide, there were only three stone steps at the door, and the paint on the gate was already mottled, how could this look like the mansion of the second grade Shangshu!

"Uncle, this Fang Shangshu is too incorruptible! Look at this courtyard, probably the ambassador and the secretary of the Ministry of Taxation live better than Shangshu! ”

Now the Ming Dynasty pays hundreds of millions of silver dollars in taxes a year, and the Ministry of Taxation is a good department for farting oil crotch, Zhu Jiang really doesn't believe that a Shangshu lives in such a broken courtyard.

Ma Rufeng was just about to speak, when he saw the gate of Fangfu open, and an old man poked his head out and said, "Are you looking for my master?" ”

Ma Rufeng hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Yes, please spread the word to the old man, and say that the son of the old man is here!" ”

The old man looked at the two people at the door, and the middle-aged man at the head looked pretty good, he should be a scholar, but the big man in the back was like a bear, and he looked like a martial artist. It is Zhu Jiang who is like a bear, and Zhu Jiang was not like this when he was young before, and the Ma family gene can't become a bear no matter how long it grows. But the seven or eight years of military career have changed him, the army eats high-calorie food, plus a lot of exercise, and his whole body is full of strong muscles. In addition, Zhu Jiang was originally tall, so he looked like a bear.

The old man didn't dare to say much, so he closed the door and entered the house to tell Fang Fengnian. The two men waited at the door for a long time before the door opened again, and the old man came out and said, "My lord invites you two to come in!" ”

Ma Rufeng walked in front, Zhu Jiang walked behind, and Zhu Jiang frowned as soon as he entered the courtyard. This Fang Fengnian's home is said to be Fangfu, and when you walk in, you can see that there are six houses in the courtyard, which is like a Shangshu's home. Zhu Jiang knows that the current minister of the court and the central government, this Fang Fengnian is a second-grade Shangshu, and there is an annual income of 1,000 silver yuan, if the hands are blacker and then collect some places to be filial, it is really like a prince.

Zhu Jiang looked at the old man's residence when he first entered the courtyard, and the door of a room on the side was locked, and the firewood pile outside should be the kitchen. There is a moon gate on the left, and when you walk in, you can enter the second courtyard, where some vegetables are planted, and there is a chicken coop on the side of the wall, which should have a few chickens.

In the middle of the courtyard were three main rooms, one of which was lit, and the old man pushed the door in and said, "Master, they are here!" ”

Fang Fengnian wore a green cloth robe, sat on the chair in the middle and said, "Let them come in, and serve tea to the two of you!" ”

Ma Rufeng walked into the house and bowed down and said, "Uncle Fang, little nephew Ma Rufeng has come to visit!" ”

Zhu Jiang arched his hand and said, "Fang Shangshu, this king is here!" ”

Fang Fengnian was the same year as Ma Jiyuan, regardless of his identity and age, he was above Zhu Jiang, but Fang Fengnian didn't say anything when he saw Zhu Jiang being so rude, he just smiled and said, "It turns out that King Qin is here, sit down!" ”

Ma Rufeng sat down and was just about to speak, when he looked at Fang Fengnian and said: "The noble man is here tonight, Rufeng, don't talk first, let the old man guess, is there any difficulty you have encountered?" ”

"Uncle Fang, that's exactly the case!" Ma Rufeng then said about the emperor's sudden decree in the afternoon, and after recounting it, he said: "Uncle, my father told my little nephew when he left, and if he has any difficulties, he came to ask his uncle for help, so he came to disturb him so late today!" ”

In fact, Fang Fengnian knew about the emperor's anger with the crown prince in the afternoon, after all, such a big matter would soon spread in the officialdom. Fang Fengnian calculated that King Qin would be able to come tonight, so he didn't sleep and waited.

Fang Fengnian was overjoyed when he learned the news, although Ma Jiyuan repeatedly warned Fang Fengnian before leaving, and never get involved in the battle for succession, but Fang Fengnian is also a scholar and a person in the system. Now that Fang Fengnian is a second-grade scholar, he is only one step away from the cabinet, a place where the civil servants are extremely powerful, how can such a big temptation not make Fang Fengnian's heart move? What's more, the bigger the official, the more dangerous it is, and the Suzhou Revolution killed so many officials two years ago, it is impossible for Fang Fengnian not to be afraid. In order not to be sacrificed by his own party, only by entering the cabinet and becoming a chess player can he get rid of the fate of the chess pieces.

Zhu Jiang saw that Fang Fengnian didn't speak for a long time, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, Zhu Jiang is the king of Qin, you didn't get up to salute when you entered the house just now, after all, you and this king are on the bus, but now what are you doing with this death? Shaking your head with your eyes closed, dancing big gods?

"Lord Fang, this king came today to ask you a word, my father sees that this means that he intends to make this king the crown prince, and this king wants to ask Lord Fang to assist this king! When this king ascends the throne, he will definitely let Lord Fang enter the cabinet! ”

Fang Fengnian smiled slightly when he heard Zhu Jiang say this: "Hehe, His Royal Highness King Qin, the old man is sixty-one years old this year, I don't know if I can see the day when King Qin ascends the throne, even if I wait until King Qin ascends the throne, the old man is estimated to be no longer alive!" ”

Zhu Jiang was very unhappy when he heard Fang Fengnian say this, isn't this not that he has no confidence in himself? Zhu Jiang slapped the table and stood up and scolded: "Fang Fengnian, you old guy, when this king came to you, he pushed back and stopped, and now he says so, if it weren't for this king's face today, he burned your kennel with a fire!" ”

After Zhu Jiang finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave, but he knew that Ma Rufeng stood up and slapped Zhu Jiang twice with a bow left and right, and it was already night, and the two slaps were really crisp, and the old man in the front yard heard it.

Zhu Jiang was stunned by Ma Rufeng, and said angrily: "Uncle, why are you beating me?" ”

Ma Rufeng didn't care about Zhu Jiang, turned around and bowed to the other party and said, "Uncle, my nephew is used to being unkind by my sister, which makes Uncle Fang laugh!" I must ask Uncle Fang for help in this matter today! ”

Fang Fengnian smiled and said, "Like the wind, King Qin, it's not that the old man doesn't want to help you, it's just that King Qin, do you think you can have a long relationship with the crown prince?" ”

"Why not? This king is now loved by his father, and he has been appointed to assist in the defense of the Nine Gates, isn't that okay? Zhu Jiang couldn't help but be a little unconvinced when he heard that Fang Fengnian was not optimistic about himself.

"King Qin, His Majesty the Emperor is choosing a successor, not a rural landlord picking the head of the family, this is not like you can pick you if you like it. The old man asked you, do you know what the emperor has been doing in the past few years to fully implement the new law? Do you know how the new law works locally? Do you know how to collect taxes from the imperial court? Do you know how the various parties in the DPRK and China distribute their interests? ”

Zhu Jiang was dizzy by Fang Fengnian's questions, Zhu Jiang is a soldier and has never been in politics at all, so he knows these problems.

"Lord Fang, aren't these all your Wenchen's business? I'm a soldier who knows this? ”

"It's over, King Qin, as long as you say this sentence in front of the emperor, there is no hope of becoming a crown prince!"

Zhu Jiang scratched his head and asked, "How do you say that?" Isn't it telling the truth? ”

"King Qin, if the emperor asks you so, you should say that although you don't know these things, you can learn from Your Majesty! The emperor is not afraid that you won't, but what he's afraid of is that you don't know how to pretend to understand, you know? ”

Zhu Jiang heard Fang Fengnian say this and laughed: "Sure enough, it seems that you scholars still have a lot of flowers, and they can't, but after saying this, I feel that this king is a lot more diligent!" ”
