(PS: A wordy sentence, ask for a monthly pass, friends, please give two monthly tickets to the gods to the pure newcomer wolf.) ）

Lu Fatzi opened the door of his bedroom, Wu Yingxiong just turned around with his hands behind his back, and smiled at Lu Fatzi, his expression was quite calm, as if he hadn't heard Lin Tianqing's words of betraying Pingxi Wangfu just now. While secretly admiring his calmness and self-cultivation, Fat Lu also smiled slightly and said, "Shizi, now you should know the reason why you are invited here, right?" ”

Wu Yingxiong nodded, expressed his understanding, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for what I heard and saw with my own eyes, I wouldn't have thought of anything, for the position of the governor of Yunnan, Lin Tianqing actually came up with the idea of betraying the Pingxi Palace!" ”

Speaking of this, Wu Yingxiong sighed, shook his head, and then said: "Decades of friendship, as early as the Chongzhen period of the former Ming Dynasty, my father was on duty under Hong Chengchou with him, and at that time he was already a brother. Over the years, our Wu family has not treated him badly, this time he went to Beijing to carry out the Yunnan governor's mission, I also gave him more than 50,000 taels of silver, I didn't expect to end up, but in exchange for such a result. ”

After that, Wu Yingxiong shook his head again, his expression was quite gloomy, "If my father knows the news, I don't know how sad and sad he will be." ”

"Shizi, what Senior Lin did was very chilling." Fat Lu opened his mouth and said sincerely: "But it is barely excusable, as he himself said, he will be sixty soon, and if he misses this opportunity, there will be no hope of a comeback." For his own sake, and for the sake of his children and grandchildren, it is not surprising that he had such thoughts. I also hope that the prince can see that he is close to his age, and he has not really done anything to be sorry for the prince, forgive him this time, and continue to pretend that he doesn't know about it. ”

"Forgive him this time?" Wu Yingxiong glanced at Fat Lu and said, "You mean, as long as there are extenuating circumstances, it doesn't matter if you betray the Pingxi Palace?" ”

"Of course not, the traitor who betrayed the Pingxi Palace, of course, can't be let go." Fat Lu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's just that I feel that for the prince and the prince, pretending not to know about this matter is more beneficial and beneficial to the current situation." ”

What do you mean by that? In detail. Wu Yingxiong raised his eyebrows.

"Shizi Mingjian, Lin's predecessors had different intentions, and the reason for this is still in the position of governor of Yunnan." Lu Fatzi said slowly: "And what about this position, originally officials at all levels of Jiuqing Kedao were recommending Senior Lin to take over, and you and the prince also hope that he can take over this position, but why didn't the emperor let Senior Lin go to Yunnan?" - This point, Senior Lin has secretly told the humble position, because the emperor is not at ease with Senior Lin, knows that Senior Lin is loyal to the prince and the prince, and is worried that Senior Lin is only willing to listen to the words of the prince and the prince, and refuses to listen to the emperor. ”

"If you say something rebellious, it can be inferred that the emperor is not at ease with the Lin seniors who are loyal to the prince, and naturally he is not at ease with the prince and the prince, so no matter who serves as the governor of Yunnan, there is only one purpose, to monitor and restrain the prince! In this case, on the one hand, the governor of Yunnan who directly did not listen to the prince, and on the other hand, the governor of Yunnan who was at least superficially loyal to the prince, the lesser of two evils, it was better to continue to support Senior Lin to take over as the governor of Yunnan! Hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, open guns are easy to dodge, I believe that the prince will not weigh the pros and cons of this. ”

"And if Senior Lin can take over as the governor of Yunnan, there is also a great advantage, that is, through him, the inner line of the court, some news or things about the prince and the prince can be spread to the ears of the emperor and the court. After the words of the humble position are finished, please make a clear decision. ”

When Fat Lu was talking, Wu Yingxiong kept listening carefully, without interjecting or revealing any joy, anger and sorrow. It wasn't until Fat Lu finished speaking that Wu Yingxiong pondered for a long time before he said: "Lord Lu, I have one thing that has always been very strange, the emperor and Ao Zhongtang appreciate you so much and offer you such a big price, why haven't you been as moved as Lin Tianqing?" ”

"On the face, the prince and the second prince have the grace of knowing the lowly position, Mr. Mao Yao has the grace of the lowly position, the root of the lowly position is in Yunnan, in the Pingxi Palace, leaving the Pingxi Palace, the lowly position is a fish that has left the water, and it can't reach a few days." Fat Lu smiled, and said with a wry smile: "There is also a word of sorry for the prince and the prince, the self-respecting plan for raising thieves offered to the prince by the humble position, even if the slightest rumor leaks, the humble position will not be able to eat and go around!" ”

"Hehe, I see, no wonder my father wants you to help me handle such a big matter as military salary." Wu Yingxiong smiled and said, "Lord Lu, you are a treasure given to us by God to the Wu family, my brother has vision, and Mr. Mao Yao has vision!" Blessed are we in Pingxi Palace! ”

After laughing, Wu Yingxiong put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll listen to you in this matter, don't expose Lin Tianqing's face, and do it according to the plan you said." On your side, you can do whatever you want, just tell me afterwards, I believe you. In addition to this, I have about 120,000 taels of silver in my tent, which you can withdraw as you please when you need it, without asking me for instructions. ”

"Humble and thank the prince for his kindness." Lu Fatzi was overjoyed and was about to salute, but was stopped by Wu Yingxiong.

"No need to salute. Come with me and I'll introduce you to someone who will be very helpful to you. Wu Yingxiong waved and took the lead out of Fat Lu's room, Fat Lu didn't dare to ask more, just followed closely.

followed Wu Yingxiong all the way to the East Cross Courtyard where his study was located, and walked along the corridor zigzag for a while, Wu Yingxiong led Lu Fatzi into a warm pavilion with a fire dragon on the ground, there were not too many lights in the pavilion, it seemed a little dark, and there were two other people, one was Wu Yingxiong's henchman Lang Yanshu, and the other was a strange man in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance, no characteristics, and belonged to the type that could not be found if he was thrown in the pile.

"Master Lu, let me introduce you." Wu Yingxiong pointed at the strange man and said with a smile: "This is Mr. Yang Qilong, whose public identity is the lay housekeeper of the Great Buddha Temple in the capital, and he is also the head of a gang in the capital, and he is also the intelligence leader of our Pingxi Royal Mansion in the capital, and he has an absolutely reliable intelligence team in his hands. Talk to him about what you need in terms of intelligence, just ask him. If you don't have the convenience to come forward, you can also ask him to do it. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Yang Qilong Yang." Fat Lu was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Yang Qilong and said, "Mr. Yang, I met for the first time, and I hope to give me a lot of advice." ”

"Lord Lu is polite." Yang Qilong returned the salute and said with a smile: "But Lord Lu, although we are first acquaintances, it is not the first time we have met. ”

"We've met before?" Lu Fatzi was stunned.

"On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Lord Lu first arrived in the capital." Yang Qilong smiled and said: "On the official road outside Chaoyang Gate, the respected servant Fang Shiyu and the respected servant Xiao Erlang frolicked, and lifted Xiao Erlang with one hand. ”

Fat Lu's eyes widened, and he looked back at Wu Yingxiong who was smiling, and was horrified in his heart, "Lao Tzu really underestimated this kid, it turns out that when I didn't enter the capital, his people had already targeted Lao Tzu!" In this way, Lao Tzu secretly met with Xiao Mazi in the restaurant, and this kid has long known about it, so he hasn't explained the real military salary hole cards to me in the past few days! Fortunately, I told him this honestly in advance today, otherwise, this kid will definitely not really trust me! ”

"But that's right, only a fool is careless when he does this kind of thing - even me, didn't I send Xiao Erlang to take Fang Shiyu to secretly spy on the three brothers of the Liu family today?" After thinking about it, Fat Lu was suddenly relieved, and at the same time secretly rejoiced, "Okay! Yang Qilong, this guy, although not as rampant and ambitious as said in the mite relict novel in history, still has a certain strength and considerable intelligence ability among the people and grassroots in Yanjing, and has his accomplice, see if I don't turn the Tartar court upside down! ”

………………

The night passed quickly, and the next morning, Lu Fatzi, who had been talking with Wu Yingxiong, Yang Qilong and others all night before falling asleep for less than an hour, was woken up by Xiao Erlang, and when he woke up in a daze, Lu Fatzi muttered sleepily: "Erlang, I won't eat breakfast, I'll talk about it when I sleep enough, you can eat first." With that, Fat Lu snored again and fell asleep.

"Young master, young master, it's not a matter of eating breakfast." Xiao Erlang was angry and funny, and hurriedly shook the fat man again, and said: "Young master, someone from the Ministry of Officials is here, or Lord Cao Shenji, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, said that he was ordered to lead you into the palace to see His Majesty!" Young master, get up quickly, the emperor is going to meet you! ”

After shaking and shouting for a long time, Fat Lu finally understood what Xiao Erlang meant, and got up from the kang with a scolding and scolding, Xiao Erlang and other old servants over there hurriedly brought Lu Fatzi official uniforms, shoes and official hats, and hurriedly helped Fat Lu wipe his face, while hurriedly dressing Fat Lu, Xiao Erlang was also so excited that he cried, "Woo......, I finally waited for this day, if the lord and Mrs. can live to see this day, I really don't know what to be happy about." Young master, the lord and the lady are under the nine springs, and they can finally look at each other. ”

"Go, what are you crying about? What is there to cry about seeing an emperor? The first anti-bone boy of the Qing Dynasty, Lu Fatzi, snorted, and his excitement for Xiao Erlang was completely unreasonable. But after thinking about it, Lu Fatzi felt that Xiao Erlang had inadvertently reminded him that since he was going to pretend to be the first time he saw Kang Mazi, he should show some excited expressions, which not only played a role in covering up, but also took the opportunity to show his loyalty.

After washing his face and wiping his teeth with green salt, Lu Fatzi, who was dressed up in a fancy way, finally stepped out of the door and came to the hall of Wu Mansion to take a look, Wu Yingxiong, Lin Tianqing and others were indeed in the hall to accompany the guests, in addition to a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a second-grade official uniform with a golden chicken, I think it was Cao Shenji, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials that Xiao Erlang said. Lu Fatzi was unambiguous, he bowed to the ground when he went up, and said respectfully: "Xiaguan Lu Yifeng, meet Lord Cao." The lower official came late for some reason, so please forgive Lord Cao. ”

"Lord Lu doesn't have to be polite, just now the prince and Lord Lin have already talked about the reason, you accidentally fell into the water yesterday and were a little frightened, so you got up late, are you okay now?" Cao Shenji's attitude was not bad, and after cordially greeting Fat Lu's current physical condition, he hurriedly said, "Lord Lu, are you ready?" It's not too early, it's time for us to leave, the emperor has ordered a summons, but we can't miss the hour. ”

"That is, the lower officials are ready and ready to leave at any time." Fat Lu agreed. Over there, Wu Yingxiong was not ambiguous, got up and greeted: "Come on, prepare a sedan chair for Lord Lu, and send Lord Lu into the palace." ”

When the servants were preparing the sedan car, Lu Fatzi, who was already much more comfortable in his hand, quietly stuffed a silver ticket of two hundred taels into Cao Shenji's hand, and Cao Shenji took it with a smile; Over there, Lin Tianqing kept glancing at Fat Lu like a chicken and wiping his neck, reminding Fat Lu not to forget his own business, and Fat Lu also replied with his eyes. Wu Yingxiong found an opportunity to come to Lu Fatzi's ear and explained: "There is news, Cao Shenji may take over as the governor of Guizhou, he belongs to the neutral faction in the court, and there is no close relationship with the Xiwang Mansion, but there is no holiday conflict, so be respectful to him, and there will be a place to use him in the future." ”

Everything was ready to stop, and Lu Fatzi was personally sent out of the Wu Mansion by Wu Yingxiong, Lin Tianqing and others, and led Xiao Erlang and other accomplice lackeys to the palace in a sedan chair. In front of the Zhengyang Gate, Cao Shenji asked the sedan chair to stop, and then asked Lu Fatzi to get off the sedan chair and walk into the palace. Lu Fatzi secretly scolded Xiao Mazi in his heart for being ugly and weird, but he had no choice but to get off the sedan chair, leaving Xiao Erlang and others waiting outside the Zhengyang Gate, and followed Cao Shenji into the palace on foot, spreading plague and poison.

On the way, Cao Shenji had to whisper to Lu Fatzi, the soil bun, to explain a little about the rules in the palace, and said meaningfully, "Lord Lu, the emperor usually receives officials who enter Beijing to meet with His Majesty as usual, and they are all in the Qianqing Palace, and he meets with more than a dozen or twenty people at a time. Today, I made an exception to meet you alone in the Heart Cultivation Palace, can you understand the deep meaning? ”

"I am humble and ignorant, but I really don't know what it means." Fat Lu shook his head stupidly.

"How so?" Cao Shenji thought for a while and said: "Cao Mou is a Jinshi in the twelfth year of Shunzhi, and the first time he entered the palace was also in the Qianqing Palace to participate in the palace test. And Lord Lu, the first time you entered the palace, you directly entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, this speed, outside the disciples of the Eight Banners Wanggong, I am afraid it can be regarded as the first in the world. The emperor's longs for your holy family are really enviable and jealous. ”

"Ahh Lu Fatzi, who was brainwashed by the Qing palace drama and felt that it was no big deal to enter the palace to see the emperor, was really a little dumbfounded this time, and said in surprise: "Lord Cao, why is the emperor so good to me?" ”

"You ask me, who do I ask?" Cao Shenji almost didn't cry, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu was a Zhengren official who was born in Jinshi, and the speed of promotion has already made his colleagues in the Manchu Dynasty blush, and he has been walking this road for nine years, and you, a dead fat man from a talented background, just entered the palace of Yangxin, and even came to ask Lao Tzu, why did you go so fast? You are not only slapping me in the face, but also slapping all the officials in the entire Qing Dynasty officialdom in the face!

While speaking, Lu Fatzi and Cao Shenji had already come to the outside of the Heart Cultivation Palace, explaining their intentions to the guards on duty in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the guards flew into the palace, and after a while, a eunuch came out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and said in the throat of the male duck: "The emperor is not in the Heart Cultivation Palace, there is a saying that let Lu Yifeng enter the palace and wait, Lord Cao, you don't need to accompany you, you can go first." ”

"Wechen obeys." Cao Shenji knelt down and kowtowed, explained a few more words to Fat Lu, and then threw down Fat Lu and left first. The eunuch who delivered the decree over there beckoned to Fat Lu: "Lord Lu, come with me." ”

"Cover." Fat Lu agreed, and followed the eunuch up the steps of the Palace of Cultivating Hearts, and along the way, Fat Lu had to look around to show a dirt bun, which caused the guards on both sides of the steps to roll their eyes. And after entering the splendid Heart Cultivation Palace, the eunuch led Fat Lu to the middle of the Heart Cultivation Hall and ordered: "Kneel down and wait." After that, the eunuch didn't say how long he would wait, and went straight out of the palace. In the Heart Nourishing Hall of Nuoda, only Lu Fatzi was left alone.

A person kneeling in the middle of the hall with an empty stomach, of course the taste is not pleasant, seeing that there is no one around, Lu Fatzi wanted to get up and move his legs and feet, and by the way, he visited how luxurious and extravagant the heart palace of Xiao Mazi was, and how much blood and sweat of the Han people were wasted, but after thinking about it, Lu Fatzi warned himself in his stomach: "Don't mess around, what you want to play now is Lu Yifeng, who is loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and if you want to act, you have to act like it, and play it to the end!" It's not playing Li Wei, it's not playing Ji Xiaolan - not to mention that those mite dramas are also smeared with fat and whitewashed by Kang Mazi and Qiandwarf. ”

"The emperor has arrived!"

"The Empress Dowager has arrived!"

Finally, just when Lu Fatzi knelt so that his legs were numb, the eunuch's duck voice finally sounded behind the palace of the heart raising, and then, Xiao Mazi was dressed in a five-clawed pseudo-dragon robe, wearing a pseudo-dragon crown, and wearing a pearl made of Dongzhu and bright yellow silk on his chest. Lu Fatzi cursed two sentences in his heart, didn't even raise his head, and directly saluted and said loudly: "Weichen Qujing Zhixian Lu Yifeng, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The Empress Dowager Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”

"Yes, this fat man knows the rules." Xiao Mazi glanced at the fat man Lu who was honestly kneeling in the middle of the hall with satisfaction, and tried to shout in a majestic voice: "No courtesy, flat body." ”

"Thank you...... Emperor. Fat Lu agreed, but he knelt there and refused to move, his shoulders kept shaking, and he gradually let out a cry that was worse than killing a pig. Xiao Mazi was surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Lu Aiqing, why are you crying?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Weichen finally got to see the dragon's face today, and his heart was excited...... It's hard to be. Lu Fatzi still didn't look up, just lay there choked and said: "When Weichen was a teenager, Yan's father had repeatedly told him that Weichen must study and enter the office, and the glory of the ancestors ......, now Weichen finally completed the entrustment of his parents, and entered the official face of the king, but Yan's father and mother are no longer alive, Weichen misses the grace of his parents' upbringing, and the monarch is out of order, and Weichen is guilty and ......guilty. As he spoke, Fat Lu simply cried loudly, and the sound that was even worse than killing a pig also echoed in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

As mentioned earlier, Xiaozhuang asked Xiao Mazi to order Kong Sizhen to check the eighteenth generation of Lu Fatzi's ancestors clearly, Lu Fatzi's cheap father forced Lu Fatzi to be an official, Kong Sizhen also mentioned it in the report, and because of this, Xiao Mazi inevitably glanced at his grandmother proudly, and said in his heart, my eyesight is not bad, right? Lu Yifeng is my rare loyal minister, filial son and capable minister in the Qing Dynasty! Over there, Xiaozhuang was silent, not knowing what lack of moral ideas he was thinking in his heart.

"Okay, don't cry, remember that your filial piety is commendable, and I have forgiven your sins of disgrace." Xiao Mazi smiled and said, "Calm down, raise your head, and let me and Lafayette take a closer look at you." ”

"Thank you, Lord Long." Fat Lu choked up and agreed, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and finally stood up, and also raised his fat face with red and swollen eye circles. And when Fat Lu saw Xiao Mazi's appearance clearly, the expression on his face was really as wonderful as it was - first a pair of fat eyes that were praised by Zhou Pei as goldfish eyes were bigger than copper bells, and the muscles on the fat face were ridged, and then his mouth was wide enough to stuff a fist, and then he screamed like a pig, "Dragon-!" Dragon Childe! ”

"Yes, it's me." Xiao Mazi smiled and nodded, and said, "Lu Aiqing, it's not the first time we've met. ”

"Long live the emperor, Weichen should be damned!" Fat Lu howled, plopped and knelt down again, kowtowing desperately.

"Lu Aiqing, why are you kneeling again? What is the sin? Xiao Mazi was proud and satisfied, and asked puzzled.

"Wei Chen said that he didn't know the identity of the emperor, and he said a lot of rude words in front of the emperor, which was extremely disrespectful." Lu Fatzi's forehead was on the ground, and he said tremblingly: "Weichen is guilty, and he deserves death!" Please spare the emperor's life, please ask the emperor to punish the crime. ”

"Get up, and he who does not know is not guilty." Xiao Mazi said with a smile.

"Wait." At this time, Xiaozhuang, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Lu Yifeng, you are so bold, are you guilty?" ”

"Weichen should be damned!" Lu Fatzi, who was already standing halfway through, knelt down again, and said tremblingly: "Weichen doesn't know what crime he has committed, please make it clear to the Queen Mother." ”

"You are guilty of deceiving kings." The old witch of Xiaozhuang's voice was flat, but her tone was full of gloomy murderous intentions, "You already knew the identity of the emperor, but you deliberately pretended not to know, took the opportunity to flatter and invite pets, and deliberately curry favor with the emperor, right?" From the truth, the mourning family can spare you from dying! ”
