When Ren Hongfei and Ye Hanqing walked near Donghua Gate, the noon sun was already shining on their heads, and Ren Hongfei was still savoring the fragrance of tofu brain.

Ren Hongfei stopped and asked, "Han Qing, where is there a hotel near here?" ”

Ye Hanqing replied: "There are a few at the gate of the East Factory, you don't want to go there, right?" ”

Ren Hongfei nodded and said, "That's right, let's have lunch." ”

Ye Hanqing looked at Ren Hongfei and walked in front without saying a word to lead the way.

The two slowly walked into Dongchang Hutong, picked a restaurant on the edge, and walked in.

This restaurant has only two floors, the name is Taibaiju, the scale is not very large, downstairs is the hall, there are rectangular tables, upstairs are several private rooms.

Due to the prestige of Dongchang, ordinary idlers and other people dare not stay in Dongchang Hutong, so although it is a meal, there are only a few ordinary officials in Taibai Ju who are eating.

The shopkeeper with a white towel on his shoulder hurriedly greeted him, nodded and said, "Second master, please come inside." ”

Ye Hanqing took Ren Hongfei straight upstairs, picked a private room in the innermost part, took out a small piece of silver and threw it into the shop, and ordered: "Pick up the four dishes and one soup that you are best at in the store, hurry up and prepare, and bring two pots of the best sorghum." ”

Waiting for the shopkeeper to go out, Ren Hongfei said in a low voice: "Han Qing, go and call Luo Yangxing over." ”

Ye Hanqing immediately stood up, he knew that Ren Hongfei definitely didn't come to eat, and sure enough.

Ren Hongfei had met Luo Yangxing a few times in the palace, and he had a good impression of him, and it seemed that he had the intention to support him to contain Wei Zhongxian's power in Dongchang.

Four dishes and one soup are served in a moment, crispy fried beef, vinegared mushu, ivory chicken strips, Fushou elbow, a large bowl of pimple soup, two small tin pots of sorghum wine and a pot of high-quality Longjing.

At this time, Ye Hanqing also hurried over with Luo Yangxing, who had changed into civilian clothes.

As soon as Luo Yangxing entered the door, Ye Hanqing immediately closed the door, Luo Yangxing bowed down and saluted with his fists, and said in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness King Xin." ”

Luo Yangxing is thirty-seven years old, with a medium build, a Chinese face, a white face and a slight beard, and he looks full of righteousness.

Ren Hongfei smiled slightly: "Luo Qianhu doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat." ”

Luo Yang said: "His Royal Highness King Xie Xin." Obediently sat opposite Ren Hongfei.

Ye Hanqing picked up the wine jug, poured them full of wine, and stood aside.

Ren Hongfei said with a smile: "Han Qing also sits, there are no outsiders, I and Lord Luo hit it off at first sight, so you don't have to be formal." ”

Luo Yangxing hurriedly said: "Thanks to His Royal Highness King Xin's love, the lower officials are flattered, come and come, Han Qing, sit together." ”

Ye Hanqing also sat down, and Ren Hongfei picked up his wine glass: "It's the first time we're sitting together, come, do it first." ”

Luo Yangxing hurriedly drank it: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

After Ren Hongfei finished drinking, he began to greet him to eat.

Although Luo Yangxing is a military attache and a second-generation official, he has also been mixed in the East Factory for more than ten years, and he is naturally the master who walks five steps and sees ten steps, Ren Hongfei pretends to go out of the palace privately, and he will not come to him to drink, he understands that this meal is not so delicious.

After three rounds of drinking, Ren Hongfei asked lightly: "Nourishment, how is the situation in the factory now?" ”

Luo Yangxing hesitated, he didn't know what Ren Hongfei meant, and it was really difficult to answer.

Luo Yang said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qixin, the factory is operating normally. ”

Ren Hongfei smiled faintly: "I heard that Wei Zhongxian is now planting his cronies in the factory, what do you think about this?" ”

Luo Yangxing hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Wei is loyal to the country, and villains are not good at talking nonsense." ”

Ren Hongfei said: "Wei Zhongxian has only been admiring Dongchang for more than a year, and his henchmen Xu Xianchun and Tian Ergeng have been promoted to Tongzhi, Cui Yingyuan, Sun Yunhe, and Yang Huan have also been promoted several levels in a row, but you are still a thousand households." ”

Luo Yangxing bowed his head and was silent, although he was extremely dissatisfied with this, but he dared not speak angrily.

Ren Hongfei continued: "Your father Commander Luo is very old, but I am afraid that he is about to retire, and the next commander is afraid that either Xu Xianchun will sit in this position, or Tian Ergeng will come to sit, and Wei Zhongxian will never let it go to others." ”

Luo Yangxing's eyes showed a hint of anger, he naturally considered this matter, originally his father and son succeeded, he also wanted to wait until his father retired, inherit the high position of Jinyiwei commander, Luo Sigong has been the commander of Jinyiwei for forty years, and his connections and prestige in the East Factory are naturally very strong, and it is natural to promote his son.

Who knew that Wei Zhongxian suddenly inserted such a lever, replaced many of Luo Sigong's cronies, and wantonly promoted his henchmen, completely disrupting the pace of Luo Yang's progress.

Although he was angry and dissatisfied, he didn't dare to show it at all, who let Wei Zhongxian have the towering tree of Zhu Youxiao, in case he was caught, let alone a thousand households, he was afraid that he would have to go to the extremely familiar Zhao Prison to experience prison life.

Luo Yangxing said: "Thank you for the teachings of His Royal Highness King Xin, the villain is ignorant, and His Royal Highness is talented and intelligent, what is the future of the villain, and please ask His Royal Highness for guidance, if there is any sending, Luo Yangxing will not give up on going to the soup and death." ”

Ren Hongfei smiled: "Luo Qianhu is serious, don't act rashly for the time being, do things with peace of mind, as long as it's not a big mistake, I will keep you, this commander is definitely hopeless, but I can promise that the position of the next commander is definitely yours." ”

Luo Yangxing looked at Ren Hongfei, and was very grateful in his heart, although he felt that Ren Hongfei's promise was a bit exaggerated, but Ren Hongfei was definitely a reliable thigh, and he could also shelter from the wind and rain after hugging him, because although Ren Hongfei was only a vassal king, he was Zhu Youxiao's only younger brother, and Zhu Youxiao liked this younger brother very much.

Luo Yangxing stood up, knelt on one leg and hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Your Royal Highness King Xin for your love, Luo Yangxing has been loyal to His Royal Highness since then and sworn to follow him." If you violate this oath, you will be killed by a thousand knives and a thousand inches. ”

Ren Hongfei said with a smile: "Luo Qianhu hurry up, Luo Commander has assisted the emperor's grandfather for more than 30 years, and his loyalty and courage can be seen, this king also loves Luo Qianhu and Wu, Luo Qianhu can rest assured, what this king said will definitely be done." ”

Luo Yangxing sat back at the table, although Ren Hongfei in front of him was not very old, his eyes revealed a trusting calmness, and his body also exuded a trace of imperial majesty.

Luo Yangxing asked: "Your Highness, now that Wei Zhongxian has held Dongchang in his hands, I am afraid that he is about to get involved in the government, so do you just let him go so far?" ”

Ren Hongfei said: "Don't worry, I'll keep him useful, you just need to keep an eye on him secretly, don't have a hard top with him." ”

Luo Yangxing nodded and said no more.

After being full of wine and food, Luo Yang bowed and left.

Waiting for Luo Yangxing to leave, Ye Hanqing asked, "Hongfei, do you think this person is reliable?" ”

Ren Hongfei smiled faintly: "No problem for the time being, he is extremely hateful to Wei Zhongxian now, and there is no more suitable candidate than him in the East Factory." ”

The two talked again, and got up and returned to the Forbidden City in the second boy's send-off.
