Recently, Lilac has become more and more attached to Cheng Yue, and after Rou Niang and Yaguli were favored, Lilac's sense of crisis became heavier, and she made love with Cheng Yue at every opportunity, and tried her best to please Cheng Yue.

Cheng Yue hugged the last favored Rou Niang and Mei'er, and was about to fall asleep, when Mrs. Song and Mrs. Luo opened the door one by lifting wax, the other opened, and tiptoed in the door.

The other concubines were already asleep, Rou Niang hugged Cheng Yue in surprise, and whispered: "Official, the two ladies are here at this time, is there something wrong?" ”

Cheng Yue made a silent gesture to her, and he didn't have to avoid them, jumped out of bed, held Mrs. Song in his arms, and whispered, "What's wrong?" Miss me so late? ”

Mrs. Song's face flushed, and she confirmed that Wan'er and Gillian were indeed asleep, and then she whispered in Cheng Yue's ear: "Official, there are a few people from the Great Song Dynasty who came to visit them late at night, do you want to meet them?" ”

Cheng Yue was stunned, and a few names immediately flashed in his mind, smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Let's go." ”

The two ladies hurriedly dressed Cheng Yuejing, Rou Niang and Mei'er looked interesting, afraid that they would be embarrassed, so they fell asleep.

Cheng Yue put on his clothes and whispered in the ears of Rou Niang and Mei'er: "Don't tell anyone, understand?" ”

The two concubines nodded obediently, and Cheng Yue and the two ladies quietly walked out of the room and walked towards the flower hall of the outer house.

Mrs. Luo chuckled and said, "The official is really powerful, we thought that the official had already fallen asleep, but we didn't expect that he was just going to bed." ”

Cheng Yue hugged the two ladies, kissed one of them, and smiled. Take a few turns to reach the Flower Hall.

In the flower hall, Lu Wenhuan, Lu Shikui and Fan Wenhu were wearing dark clothes. I've been waiting for a long time.

Cheng Yueyi walked into the flower hall. The three of them hurriedly stood up. He bowed to Cheng Yue and said: "The criminal generals Lu Wenhuan, Lu Shikui, and Fan Wenhu visited the Metropolitan Governor, and came here late at night, as a last resort, please forgive the Metropolitan Governor." ”

Cheng Yue helped them up one by one with a pleasant face, and said, "The three adults are exempt, I am also an old acquaintance with your Lu family, and I have something to say." ”

The three of them saw that Cheng Yue's face was uncertain. A boulder in his heart fell to the ground and stood up respectfully.

Cheng Yue said again: "Come, sit down and talk, Lu Shimeng is serving under me, we are also a family, there is no reason to let you stand." ”

The three of them sat down with Xiaoxiao, Lu Wenhuan was the head of the Lu family, and said to Cheng Yue: "Governor, I came to meet you secretly tonight, it's not rude for me to wait." It's because I'm a general, and I'm suffering. Presumably, the Metropolitan also understood. I wanted to come to see me a long time ago, but it was finally my turn to patrol the night tonight to find an opportunity, and most of the governors were not surprised. ”

Cheng Yue waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's rare for you to have a heart, so you don't have to be polite." ”

Lu Wenhuan said: "Governor Dadu, I received a letter from Shi Meng a few days ago, saying that he had overcome obstacles in the south and shared weal and hardship with his soldiers, and he was very proud between the lines. Most of the governors don't remember our old evils, and still trust Shimeng. ”

Cheng Yue knew that he was testing himself, and said, "What evil is there for adults? The Mongols besieged Xiangyang for six years, and the adults took the lead in defending it for six years. During this period, the rescue of the adults by the DPRK and China was pitiful, so that the food in Xiangyang City was exhausted. In addition, Ali Hague bombarded Xiangyang with a return cannon, and the adults surrendered with all their strength, both in public and private, and they can be called with a clear conscience. I have read the "Letter of Returning to China" given by the adults to the court, and it can be described as a bloody and touching word. I have always felt that adults are not only without fault, but also meritorious. So after entering Lin'an, I was alone, no one was allowed to hurt Lu Shimeng, and I also entrusted him with an important task to let him go to the south to take charge alone. Also, my family members who were sold as slaves and maids before were also redeemed and sent to the Lu Mansion, Lu Shimeng must have told you, right? ”

Lu Wenhuan hurriedly got up and saluted: "Yes, the lower officials are grateful." If it weren't for the Grand Governor, who would dare to ignore the holy decree issued by the previous court and support my Lu family. ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "That's it, I'm complaining about your grievances, not asking your Lu family for anything." ”

As soon as Cheng Yue said this, the three men with tigers on their backs immediately turned red. They were infamous and spurned by the world, if it weren't for Cheng Yue's efforts to stop them after entering Lin'an, the ancestral graves would have been almost dug up. Speaking of which, Cheng Yue can really be regarded as the great benefactor of the Lu family.

The three of them wanted to thank each other again, Cheng Yue raised his hand and said, "Didn't you say it, it's all a family, you don't have to be polite." ”

Lu Wenhuan sighed: "Hearing these words of the Grand Governor tonight, I will wait for death without regrets!" If everyone in the world can be as enlightened as the Grand Governor, why is my Lu family like this! If there was already a metropolitan governor in the court, why would the Great Song Dynasty be like this! ”

Cheng Yue sighed: "I have wronged you, now is not ripe, I will correct your Lu family one day!" ”

Lu Wenhuan said: "Governor, I came here at night, just because of this." ”

Cheng Yue said: "Oh? How so? ”

Lu Wenhuan was silent, and Lu Shikui said: "Metropolitan Governor, please retreat." ”

Cheng Yue glanced at the two ladies and said with a smile: "These two ladies are my confidants, they are closer than my concubines, you can say whatever you want." ”

The two ladies blushed, this was the first time Cheng Yue admitted his relationship with them in public, and it was extremely sweet in the middle of the night.

When the three of them saw that Cheng Yue had told them all about such a private matter, they were both moved and ashamed, and Master Lu said boldly: "Metropolitan Governor, then Rong Mo will speak bluntly." ”

Cheng Yue nodded, and Lu Shikui said: "In the letters to me, each letter from my brother praised the Metropolitan Governor, saying that the Metropolitan Governor has great ambitions and far-sightedness, and the text can help the world, and the martial arts can calm the Quartet. After I saw the letter, I thought that most of the governors were only weak and weak, and they were a little suspicious. However, the last time the Metropolitan Governor was in Jiangxi, he could deceive the last general, and the wisdom of the Metropolitan Governor was always beyond the reach of the last general. ”

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Do you remember the two sect girls you gave to Boyan?" Now they are my concubines, and they came to Dadu with me this time. These two ladies are their mothers, and you have some fate. ”

Master Lu was embarrassed, hurriedly got up and bowed, and said to the two ladies: "The lower officials are offended, and they dare not excuse themselves, so they should be punished by the two ladies, and there will be no complaints!" ”

Mrs. Luo said, "What do you do about the past?" If it weren't for Lord Lu, Gillian and Wan'er would not have been able to marry the Grand Duke, and our two families could have where they are today, thanks to Lord Lu. ”

Lu Shikui sweated like rain, kowtowed a few times, and said: "Mrs. Xie forgives, at the beginning, the lower official was eager to please Boyan, so that he acted absurdly, but now he has changed his past, please forgive the lower officials as well." After saying that, he knocked down several times.

Cheng Yue smiled: "Okay, they have been blessed by misfortune, and they have long forgotten about it, so you don't have to mind it anymore." Wan'er and Gillian are very fond of me, and the more than 1,000 sect girls also have their own place, and you can be regarded as having done a few good things unintentionally. ”

Lu Shikui wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said respectfully: "Don't dare, the lower officials know that they are guilty, and they will ask the metropolitan governor to punish them in the future." ”

Cheng Yue said: "Don't mention these first, you can continue." ”

Lu Shikui picked up the tea, drank it all, settled down, and then said: "After the metropolitan governor entered the capital, I waited to see what the metropolitan governor did, and I knew that what my brother said was exactly right, and I couldn't help but be ashamed when I thought of the past. I took the liberty to come here tonight, because I wanted to gamble the lives of the entire Lu family, and from now on, I would die for the governor of the capital! ”

As soon as the words fell, the three of them got up together, bowed down and stood with their fists clenched, waiting for Cheng Yue's decision.

It is extremely difficult for anyone to rebel and rebel, and who wants to trust such a person? But there is one of Cheng Yue's subordinates, who is still in a high position, and is deeply trusted by Cheng Yue, that is, Liu Shun.

Cheng Yue stared at the three of them and said to Lu Shikui: "You tell me about this matter, is it your idea?" ”

Lu Shikui said: "Yes, but after the lower official finished speaking, my uncle and Wen Hu agreed, even praise the majority of the governors know people well, if the Lu family can serve under his command, they will be able to be ashamed and glorify the lintel!" ”

Cheng Yue said again: "Isn't Kublai Khan good to you? Why did you switch to me? ”

Lu Wenhuan smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from the Grand Duke, the Great Khan is okay with us, but how many of the Mongols and Semu people in the middle of the court can afford us Han people?" Several party members under the subordinate of the lower official dared to ride on the head of the lower official and arbitrarily extort money from the lower official, and the lower official could only swallow his anger. On the first day of the imperial court, the governor scolded the ministers in the court, and those Mongolians and people with their nostrils facing the sky all lowered their eyebrows and did not dare to fight back, how happy! The subordinate is living aggrieved, and it is better to be beaten twice by the metropolitan governor than to be scolded by those mongrels! ”

Fan Wenhu also nodded again and again, and praised: "After the governor of the capital went north, he killed and injured Tutmur and Oroqi one after another, and won all three battles in the competition. Up and down the government and the opposition, who doesn't fall for it? Since the governor of Dadu entered Dadu, Han officials like me have had a much better life. Probably for fear of upsetting the governor, even the Mongol and Semu dignitaries were obviously kinder to the Han than before. The lower officials thought, how can a person live for a lifetime to serve those who look down on us? Why bother! Most of the governors may not know that we are all officials under the Zhongshu Province. The Great Khan was going on an expedition to Japan, and because he knew some water warfare, he finally had something to do. And the uncle and the master, the well-known fierce generals, were all thrown into idleness, how sad! ”

Cheng Yue sighed, nodded heavily, and said, "I believe in you." Since you are willing to pledge your allegiance to me, from now on, you will do what I tell you to do, and even if I am not in the capital, you will be contacted. If you find danger, flee immediately, and I will arrange it. ”

The three of them were overjoyed and said in unison: "Yes, the subordinates obey the order!" ”

Cheng Yue smiled and said: "You should not stay for a long time, leave quickly, I will take you with me when I go north in a few days, you can just do what you are told." (To be continued......)
