Chapter 293: Visiting Zhang Fengyi
Lu Xiangsheng didn't leave, because Emperor Chongzhen still had something to discuss with him in detail, and Lu Xiangsheng didn't tell Yang Quan about specific things, after all, it involved major events in the country, no matter how Lu Xiangsheng trusted Yang Quan, he would never tell him.

Looking at Yang Quan in the distance, Lu Xiangsheng secretly clenched his fists, Jingshi, there is really a storm, and the source of this wind is not clear. From this conversation with Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng secretly noticed that Emperor Chongzhen was different, he Lu Xiangsheng had not entered the center, although he did not have much political experience, and his connections could only rely on the unreliable same year, but it did not prevent Lu Xiangsheng from getting some political wind direction through this unreliable relationship.
Lu Xiangsheng belongs to the Donglin Party, or rather, he is close to the Donglin Party, he returned to Beijing, and still wanted to visit some old-timers, such as Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, but Lu Xiangsheng went to Wen Tiren's house, but he didn't even see the face of the first assistant, but in the living room, he drank a cup of cold tea, and then, he was driven out by the housekeeper Yin and Yang, Lu Xiangsheng was from this time, he noticed that the wind direction of the court had changed.
Just when Lu Xiangsheng let Yang Quan go and just returned to the place where he lived, someone came with the news that "Zhang Fengyi, the former squire of the military department, was not good at handling things, did not do things well, built slaves to disturb Changping, Zhang Fengyi was afraid of the war, he was like a rebel, he remembered that he had military exploits in the past, and his merits and demerits were offset, and the emperor Hongen specially removed all his official positions and was demoted to a commoner,"
Lu Xiangsheng inquired carefully, and then he knew that the root of it was only because of the conflict between Yang Quan and the Soldiers and Horses, but this Zhang Fengyi did not deal with it impartially, and there were a lot of partialities, which caused the anger of Emperor Chongzhen. did not send people out of the city, and at that time, this Shangshu, I don't know whether he was unwilling to let the soldiers die, or because he was afraid of death, in order to avoid leaving the station, he drank rhubarb at home all day long, so as to avoid being seriously ill.
Whether the rumors are true or false, Lu Xiangsheng doesn't know, and he doesn't have the time to look for it, but no matter what, he doesn't want to believe that this "old boss" is such a person with no political vision and short-sightedness, and he has been an official all his life. ā
However, Lu Xiangsheng knew that this was a capable person, Zhang Fengyi was born in the military, and he knew everything about things in the military town, arranged people and horses, and strategically designed, which was definitely much stronger than those literati who turned into military officials.
At the beginning, Lu Xiangsheng was suppressing bandits in the south, and the secretary of the military department gave him power and let him mobilize people, so there was Lu Xiangsheng rampant in the south of the Yangtze River, and those rebels saw it, and they also shouted where King Lu Yan was.
Now, Zhang Fengyi is leaving, Lu Xiangsheng has to take a look at it no matter what aspect he is, thinking of this, he turned around and walked towards Zhang Fengyi's mansion.
Lu Xiangsheng is a person who does what he thinks, and now he doesn't have much money on him, and he can't go with other ministers, when he goes to visit someone, he will first send a servant over to loosen the invitation, and now Lu Xiangsheng, as mentioned above, he doesn't have any of them, so he can only go to Zhang Fengyi to try his luck in person.
When he stood at the door of Zhang's mansion, looking at the deserted gate, Lu Xiangsheng thought about it and looked around for fear that he had found the wrong place, in the past, when he came to Zhang's mansion, he was always crowded by the bustling crowd at the door, but now here, not to mention people, even a ghost can't be seen, only at the side door, I saw a person wearing a housekeeping costume, leaning against the wall at this door, with his head low and his head low.
"I'm tired of this, may I ask Zhang Fengyi and Lord Zhang's mansion at this time?" Lu Xiangsheng walked up to him and asked.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, this is Lord Zhang's mansion," I saw this Ding hurriedly get up from the bench at this door, and when he saw Lu Xiangsheng's face clearly, he asked politely, "May I ask this gentleman, is there something wrong with coming here to find my lord?" ā
Lu Xiangsheng arched his hand, "Master Zhang is the old boss under him, I heard that the old gentleman is leaving, I specially came to visit the old gentleman, and the right to see him off." ā
"Ah, in that case, sir, please come in!" The family said excitedly.
Lu Xiangsheng took a step forward, reached out and touched his pocket, but he was stunned, and said with some embarrassment, "I still won't go, I don't have silver taels on me, I'm afraid I won't be able to give money to Your Excellency." ā
When the man heard Lu Xiangsheng's words, he hurriedly waved his hand, "No need for adults, as long as the adults can go over to send my master, I will be grateful." ā
"Didn't anyone come to see the boss today?" Lu Xiangsheng asked suspiciously.
But he didn't think about it, as soon as he finished speaking, the family Ding scolded, it turned out that since Zhang Fengyi stepped down in the court, the Zhang Mansion that used to be like a city in the past is now invisible to anyone. The doors are deserted, and they are a little worse than those deserted houses.
"It's all a group of people who tend to be inflammatory, my lord takes care of them in every way, and now that the lord has something, they don't come up any of them, it's really not a human being!" The family scolded angrily,
When the family led the door in, the whole house became much more deserted, and the servants who filled the courtyard in the past seemed to be much less at this time.
The family Ding looked back and saw that Lu Xiangsheng was looking at those servants, and knew what he was thinking, so he sighed, "Now that the master has come down from the position of the secretary of the military department, the half-hearted people in the servants in the family have all thought about running out, and the master sent all the servants below, and the rest are only us old servants."
Listening to this Ding's words, Lu Xiangsheng actually gave birth to a trace of sympathy, or to be precise, a kind of pity, Zhang Fengyi has been the secretary of the military department for so many years, he Lu Xiangsheng, the up-and-coming Hong Chengchou, and the five-sided governor Chen Qiyu, were all enabled by Zhang Fengyi, and now Hong Chengchou is suppressing bandits in Shaanxi, and he Lu Xiangsheng is the governor of Xuanda to guard Gyeonggi, no matter from that aspect, this Zhang Fengyi can be regarded as doing some good things for the country. But now that he has no one to see him off, it is a sigh.
After walking forward for a short time, he turned a corner gate and entered a garden, and the family Ding arched his hand to Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Sir, my lord, in the house in front, Mr. Go by himself, this place, the lord has instructed, do not let the little one pass." ā
Saying this, the family turned around and walked towards the place where he came. Lu Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment, but he remembered that Zhang Fengyi came to Beijing, but he didn't bring his family, and he didn't have to worry about these things like his daughters. (To be continued.) )
