Kang Mazi's current court is like a new machine, which is about to run in, and it is about to enter the track of normal operation. All I have to do is to secretly remove a few screws on the core components of this machine, remove a few fixing bolts, replace a few tubes of lubricating oil and a few sealants, and have the opportunity to install one or two more unsuitable gears, and when this machine is running quickly, it can be scrapped logically.

――――This wise saying comes from Lu Yifeng, Qujing Zhi County, Yunnan Province, the Qing Dynasty.

It's easy to speak, but it's hard to really do things, and in the capital for a few days, although there have been a few miserable Han and foreign devils, but the two real confidants of the three feudatories are in great trouble, and the fat man Lu who says good things and does good deeds has always had nothing to do with them, neither can he catch their handles, nor can he give them a trick. And these two scourges that make Lu Fatzi hate to the bone are naturally Xiao Mazi's two powerful accomplices in the history of quelling the rebellion of the three feudatories - Tuhai and Yue Le.

Can't rectify these two scourges, this is really no wonder Lu Fatzi is incompetent, the origin of these two scourges is too big, although Tu Hai's background is not as good as Yue Le, but the former Qing Shunzhi 12 years has been named from the first product of the prince Taibao, in charge of the criminal department and Hongwen Academy scholar, ranked third among the fifteen scholars of the Shunzhi Dynasty, after Kang Mazi succeeded to the throne, Tu Hai was named the Yellow Banner Manchurian Metropolis, reappointed as a scholar of the Hongwen Academy, plus hereditary as a first-class light car captain, walking in the study and senator of the government, such a cow, Now he is just a seven-grade sesame official, can he afford to provoke the fat man?

Tuhai is just that, what is more difficult is Yue Le, this guy is not only Xiao Mazi's cousin, but also has great achievements, he once personally killed the famous Zhang Xianzhong Zhang Da Demon King, and both civil and military forces are full of power to stop enclosing land, support the bold use of Han landlords and gentry, alleviate national contradictions, is a rare reformer and doer of the wild boar skin family, he was named Prince An, and his title is higher than Wu Sangui, such a person, how can Lu Fatzi afford to provoke?

What's even more troublesome is that since Shunzhi activated the four ministers to assist the government, Yue Le, who knew that he was jealous, took the initiative to hand over all the power, hid in his home and lived in a simple place, and took the initiative to cut off all ties with the old ministry. Such a smart person, don't say that Fat Lu is set up for him, it's hard to see him, how can he be pulled out as a screw?

It is also because of this that when it comes to enjoying the imperial kitchen food in Tiren Pavilion, Lu Fatzi inevitably wants to take the opportunity to contact these two scourges - after all, in the future, Lu Fatzi is destined to compete with these two fierce enemies on the battlefield, and it is always good to take this opportunity to understand the future rivals.

After three rounds of drinking, the officials began to toast each other, Lu Fatzi specially ordered to sit at the third table chief, the same table is either the prince or Baylor, the officials are bigger than Lu Fatty, and the more eye-catching Lu Fatman did not dare to slack off, stood up and poured a full wine glass to the prince Baylor at the same table, held his wine glass with both hands, and said respectfully: "Princes, all Baylor Lords, humble and lucky, by the grace of God to sit at the same table with you, humble duties are not respectful, borrow flowers to offer Buddha to the princes, Baylor Lord a cup, please." ”

Fat Lu's attitude can be regarded as respectful, but it's a pity that the prince Baylor at the table just didn't hear Fat Lu's words, just talking to each other, and contempt for Fat Lu to the bone. Fortunately, just when Fat Lu was extremely embarrassed, a middle-aged man in a dragon robe in a flat yellow group sitting in the second seat raised his wine glass, touched Fat Lu gently, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu, please." ”

Lu Fatzi was like being pardoned, and he was busy drinking opposite the middle-aged man, which barely resolved a little embarrassment, but unfortunately the middle-aged man was a taciturn person, and after putting down the wine glass, he stopped talking, but slowly chewed the dishes in front of him. Fat Lu also knew that it was difficult for him to fit into such a circle, so he cheekily asked the middle-aged man: "This prince, where is Prince An sitting?" Can you give me some pointers, I want to go and see him. ”

"I am Yue Le." The middle-aged man asked with a little doubt: "Lord Lu, do you have anything to do with this king?" ”

"Such a coincidence, you are Yue Le?" Fat Lu was a little dumbfounded, and hurriedly took a closer look at his future rival, and found that Yue Le was about his early forties, with a very majestic face in the Chinese characters, thick and black silkworm eyebrows, and a pair of eyes under his eyebrows, which was not such a good character to provoke at first glance. Fat Lu hurriedly picked up the wine glass with both hands again, and said respectfully: "Lord An, I don't know the identity of the prince and the disrespect, I hope the prince will forgive you." Looking for the prince, he hoped to thank the prince in person. ”

"Why do you want to thank me?" Yue Le was even more puzzled.

"Back to the prince, Lu Yifeng's grandfather has a brother-in-law who was doing business in Sichuan during the previous next year." Lu Fatzi said casually, "After the traitor Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, he was killed by Zhang Yifeng, and Lu Yifeng's family grieved and hated Zhang Yifeng to the bone. There is no respect for the humble position, and I will give the prince another cup to thank the prince for his revenge. ”

"Oh, I see." Yue Lexin thought it was true, and really picked up the wine glass and touched it with Lu Fatzi, so he said unhurriedly: "Destroy the traitor Zhang Xianzhong, this king is also acting on orders, Lord Lu, you don't have to be grateful to this king, if you really want to repay your kindness, after returning to office, you only need to take care of the people and be honest as officials, and this king will be very happy." But if you become a corrupt official, even if this king has a relationship with you at the same table, he will not spare your ....... ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Yue Le taught a lesson, and Fat Lu nodded respectfully in agreement, and scolded in his heart, "Fuck! I knew that I could drink at the same table with Yue Le today, I should have brought a pack of rat medicine in today, and found a chance to put it in Yue Le's wine glass, when there are so many people here, who can be sure that I did it? ”

Lu Fatzi moved this thought, and his face inevitably showed a little absent-mindedness, over there, Yue Le put down the shelf and taught a seven-grade sesame official to be diligent and poor, Lu Fatzi was still so perfunctory, Yue Le was inevitably unhappy in his heart, and said that Lu Fatzi, like most officials, took his kind words as a deaf ear - in fact, the situation was a hundred times more serious than Yue Le's guess. Fortunately, Yue Le not only has a very deep city, but also has excellent self-cultivation, so he didn't have a seizure on the spot, but just stopped talking and said: "Lord Lu, you sit down for a while, this king will go and talk to Prince Kang." ”

After that, Yue Le got up and left, but now there was no one to talk to Fat Lu on the table, but Fat Lu was not in a hurry, he just analyzed it carefully in his heart. Yue Le is the highest status among the guests at this table, but only he can put down the shelf and clink glasses with a seven-rank official like himself, who walks shit luck, and treat each other as equals - it can be seen that Yue Le should be a person who is good at soothing people's hearts and being polite and virtuous, and when he enters the army, he must also belong to the role of that kind of deep military heart, and such an enemy is also the most difficult and dangerous kind of enemy. To deal with such an enemy, it must be extremely difficult to defeat him head-on on the battlefield, and the best way is to use the weakness of his high merit to shock the master, and use some Qin Hui Zhao Gao's means to deal with him most effectively............

It's still the same sentence, things are easy to say and difficult to do, for a while, Lu Fatzi really couldn't think of any tricks to clean up Yue Le, so he had to put this idea aside for the time being, picked up the wine glass and went to the familiar officials to toast, such as He Aobai, Ban Bushan, Huang Ji and Lin Tianqing. As a university scholar, Bamburshan also introduced the officials at the same table to Lu Fatzi very affectionately - of course, they were all Aobai's henchmen, and Lu Fatzi also saluted and toasted one by one. But it's a pity that the amount of alcohol in Fat Man Lu is really average, and he has chewed a few dried dates from morning to now, and a few glasses of wine on an empty stomach, and finally when he was in front of Wu Yingxiong, Fat Man Lu couldn't even stand on his feet.

"Lord Shizi, I have entered Beijing with a humble position, and I am ...... for your care." Holding the wine glass, Fat Lu swayed, and he didn't pay attention to the wine when it shook his hand, and he just said auspicious words. When Wu Yingxiong saw it, he was naturally angry and funny, and hurriedly got up and pressed Fat Lu to the empty seat next to him, snatched the wine glass and shouted in a low voice: "If you can't drink it, won't you drink less?" If you get drunk here, you'll lose your ugliness. Okay, okay, I have received your mind, no need to respect, you can sit here for a while and sober up. ”

"Yes, yes, obedience." Drunk and drunk, he understood that Lu Fatzi also knew that he was a little tall, so he sat down honestly, and asked in a low voice: "Lord Shizi, that is a scholar of Tuhaitu University, can you introduce me to him?" ”

"Over there, the big man sitting with Kong Sizhen." Wu Yingxiong looked at a table in the distance. Fat Lu turned his drunken eyes and saw that there was a tall middle-aged man sitting next to Kong Sizhen, about the same age as Yue Le, with a gloomy face and raised eyebrows, giving people a very unapproachable feeling.

"No, I need to get to know my opponent." Fat Lu muttered in his heart, struggling to stand up. Wu Yingxiong next to him held down Lu Fatzi again, and said in a low voice: "Don't go over, sitting on the other side of Kong Sizhen is the new governor of Shanxi, Mo Luo, he is the sworn enemy of our Pingxi Palace, and also the sworn enemy of Ao Zhongtang, be careful not to attract suspicion from Ao Zhongtang." ”

When Wu Yingxiong said this, Lu Fatzi sat down honestly, and Wu Yingxiong continued to whisper: "In addition, Mo Luo is also the first Manchu governor since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Getting close to him is not good for our Pingxi Palace...... ”

At the mention of this, Lu Fatzi suddenly remembered something, and asked in a low voice: "Shizi, aren't they discriminating against Han officials in Aozhongtang?" Why didn't they have a Manchurian governor in Aozhongtang before this? ”

"Who said that Ao Zhongtang discriminated against Han officials?" Wu Yingxiong asked suspiciously: "In order to appoint Mo Luo as the governor of Shanxi, Ao Zhongtang and the emperor blushed, saying that the Manchus would only lead troops and not govern the people, and sending Manchus as magistrates would only pit the people, and a large number of Manchu officials could also lead to confrontation between Manchu and Han officials, and there would be endless troubles. Also, the renamed field promoted by Ao Zhongtang against public opinion is also to curb the soldiers of the Eight Banners from forcibly occupying the land of the people, and recognize the wasteland reclaimed by the displaced people as legally owned, which offended countless banner people, saying that he discriminated against Manchu officials, right? ”

", I was brainwashed by mites again, and I did it for a long time, and the name change was ...... done by Aobai." Fat Lu's head shook, and finally he couldn't resist the drunkenness and drowsiness, so he fell asleep on the table and snored............

………………

By the time Fat Man Lu woke up, it was already dark, and at the same time, Fat Man Lu had also returned to the bedroom he had borrowed in Wu Yingxiong's Mansion, while Xiao Erlang, Fang Shiyu and others were competing for admiration for the yellow coat that Fat Lu had deceived from Xiao Mazi. Seeing that the fat man woke up, Xiao Erlang hurriedly threw the yellow coat to Fang Shiyu, pounced on him and complained: "Ouch, I said young master, you obviously drink so little, why do you still drink so much?" When I came back, I was so drunk that I almost didn't scare the little ones to death! ”

"Don't drink anymore, I won't drink anymore." Lu Fatzi hugged his head and groaned, swearing: "From now on, if I drink so much more, I will be raised by Xiao Mazi!" ”

"Little pockmarks? Young master, who is Xiao Mazi? "Xiao Erlang is a flurry.

"Casually, is there herbal tea? My throat was smoking. Fat Lu waved his hand. Xiao Erlang agreed, and hurriedly brought a large pot of herbal tea that had been prepared a long time ago, and Lu Fatzi hurriedly grabbed the cow drink, and after drinking a large pot of herbal tea, Lu Fatman's thirst was slightly quenched, and then he groaned and asked, "How did I come back?" Does the prince have any commands? ”

"Back to the young master, you were carried back by the guards in the four palaces, and I heard that the emperor was kind and specially sent the guards to carry you back." Xiao Erlang replied honestly: "The prince doesn't have anything to explain to you, just let the little ones take care of you." By the way, in the evening, the two princes of Pingnan Wangfu and Jingnan Wangfu came to pay New Year's greetings to the prince, and the prince sent someone to see it once, and when he saw that you were still drunk, he left again. ”

"Oh no, they're here to discuss the big deal, and I've got to go right away." Lu Fatzi was startled, and hurriedly struggled to jump off the kang, ignoring the dissuasion of Xiao Erlang and others, quickly put on his clothes indiscriminately, and crawled out of the room to find Wu Yingxiong.

When Lu Fatzi found Wu Yingxiong, he was still one step too late, and the Shang brothers and the Geng brothers had already finished their New Year's farewells and left. Seeing that the fat man Lu was running crookedly with his hat on, and opened his mouth to ask about the salary, Wu Yingxiong was very satisfied, nodded and smiled and said: "It's okay, it's a shame that you scared them today, they came tonight but opened their hearts, said a lot of truthful words, and agreed to advance and retreat together in the court tomorrow, and try their best to get more silver from the hands of the court." ”

"Shizi, be careful that they turn against each other." Lu Fatzi warned: "These two guys are no better than the second prince of our Pingxi Palace, they are ambitious, and they can do anything in order to defeat their brother and grab the position of the prince." ”

"Of course I'll be careful." Wu Yingxiong snorted coldly, and said with a cruel smile: "Even if they turn against each other and suddenly turn against the water to isolate our Pingxi Palace, I am not afraid!" Our Pingxi Mansion is in the imperial court, and it is not just these two friends. ”

"Really? Then the lowly position will be relieved. Lu Fatzi also knew that Wu Sangui was willing to spend money on befriending courtiers, nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Shizi, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and the key depends on tomorrow." Although I am not qualified to accompany you into the palace tomorrow to discuss your salary, I will definitely cheer you on outside the palace gate and wait for your good news. ”

"Okay." Wu Yingxiong nodded happily and said: "This time, if you can fulfill your father's entrustment as you wish, you should take the first credit, and this son will praise you in a letter to your father." ”

"Humble and humble Xie Shizi cultivation." Fat Lu saluted respectfully, and said cautiously: "Lord Shizi, I want to ask you for a grace." ”

"Say, as long as I can do it, I will promise you." Wu Yingxiong agreed.

"Shizi, that's all there is to say." Lu Fatzi said: "After the matter of the salary is over, I want to ask the prince to spare a little silver taels, use someone else's reputation to buy a few shops in the capital, and hand them over to Yang Qilong's people to take care of, and by October at the latest, these shops can come in handy." ”

"What do you do when you buy a store?" Wu Yingxiong was a flurry.

"Shizi, please forgive me for selling a pass first, and keep it secret for the time being." Lu Fatzi said mysteriously: "But what the lowly position can tell the prince is that if this plan of the lowly position can succeed - it is not a lowly bragging, at most two years later, the military salary of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces will no longer have to completely rely on people, and the prince and the prince can also get great benefits from it." ”

"And this good thing?" Wu Yingxiong was a little surprised, looked Fat Lu up and down, and saw that Fat Lu's fat face was full of confident smiles, Wu Yingxiong replied with a smile: "Lord Lu, you really make me see through more and more." Okay, listen to you, as soon as the salary negotiation is finished tomorrow, I will spare the money and hand it over to Yang Qilong to take care of, and buy a dozen or twenty stores for you to prepare. ”

"Xie Shizi." Fat Lu was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted and said: "Please rest assured, the humble position will not disappoint you, and your investment will definitely get a return of ten times and dozens of times!" ”

"I believe in you." Wu Yingxiong smiled, and when he saw that the fat man Lu looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Wu Yingxiong smiled again: "Don't be so spitting, do you want to ask your little Gege and Shang Zhixiao if they go back?" ”

Fat Lu nodded with a smirk, which was an acknowledgement. Wu Yingxiong smiled: "You are lucky, Xiao Gege said that he would not leave, and my princess was blown a little more by my pillow wind, and she refused to let her go, so you can now rest assured and boldly go to Xiao Gege to say goodbye." - You were carried back by the guards today, and she was very frightened. ”

"Xie Shizi." Fat Lu happily agreed, and quickly ran back to the backyard to find Shang Wanyan's scourge.

………………

The night passed quickly, and in the early morning of the next day, Lu Fatzi, who had slept enough yesterday, got up early, put on a suit of civilian clothes, and led a large group of dogs to accompany Wu Yingxiong to Zhengyangmen. Arrived at about the same time, as well as Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong, who also entered the palace today to discuss the salary, after meeting, Shang Zhixiao and Geng Jingzhong did not speak, but nodded to Wu Yingxiong, showing a solemn look. And the six Jiuqing monks over there are also all like great enemies, with solemn expressions, revealing some extremely tense atmosphere.

When the time difference was a moment, the palace door opened, Wu Yingxiong and Shang Zhixiao and others entered the palace together to wait in the court, before leaving, Wu Yingxiong glanced at Lu Fatzi again, Lu Fatzi was busy clenching his fists, bowed solemnly to Wu Yingxiong, Wu Yingxiong nodded slightly, and then stepped into the palace, although the two did not say a word, but no matter the tension, expectation and mutual dependence, everything has been speechless.

At the same time, the sound of the bell came from the palace, and it also sounded the battle horn of the three feudatories to join forces to compete with the Qing court, but at this moment, the fat man Lu, whose heart had been raised in his throat, relaxed. As Wu Yingxiong's assistant to negotiate the salary, Lu Fatzi has done his best, basically, there is no assistant who can do better than Lu Fatzi, from the initial running to contact Shaanxi and Gansu to give advice to release smoke, and then to sacrifice himself to take risks, personally in front of Xiao Mazi to carry out the rebellion, Lu Fatzi has done his best, just like an army commander, Lu Fatzi has taken all kinds of details into consideration, and they have all been arranged, and the next thing is to wait for the news of triumph.

"It's not easy." Leaning on the sedan chair, recalling the efforts and thrilling processes he had made in this matter, Fat Lu couldn't help but look up, looked at the slightly pale snowy sky, and sighed, "It's really not easy." ”

"Lord Lu, what's not?" Suddenly, a bold voice came from the side. Fat Lu turned his head to look and found that the person who was talking to him was a bearded man, burly, with a large group of soldiers behind him, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. The burly man saw that the fat man looked hesitant, so he smiled and said: "Lord Lu, you are really a noble person, we just met in the Tiren Pavilion yesterday, and Bamburshan also introduced me to you, my name is Mu Lima, and I am the sixth brother of Ao Zhongtang." ”

"Ah, it turned out to be General Mulimamu of Jingxi." Fat Lu suddenly realized, and hurriedly apologized, "General Mulima, I'm really sorry, I drank too much yesterday, so I don't remember too clearly." ”

"You know, you were the first to get drunk yesterday, and I was very impressed." Mulima laughed heartily, "But I'm no better than you, I got drunk after drinking two jars of wine, and when I went home, my brother scolded him for being a bloody dog, so the two of us can be regarded as sympathetic." ”

"Shame on your position, shame on you." Fat Lu had a fever on his face - he was drunk without even drinking two pots of wine, and then Fat Lu asked curiously: "General Mulima, why didn't you enter the palace to go to court?" ”

"I, General Jingxi, am a foreign officer, and I don't hold an official position in the capital, so I don't need to go to court." Mulima replied casually: "I sent my eldest brother to the court, and I have to wait for him to disperse and go home with him." ”

"I see, ignorance of the official made the general laugh." Fat Lu smirked, and snorted coldly in his heart: "This old man Ao, I really don't know if he is stupid or stupid, let a good helper like Mu Lima live in Beijing, and I don't want to find a way to stuff him into the key department - if in history, when Xiao Mazi attacked Old Man Ao, the Admiral of Jiumen was not Wu Liuyi but Mu Lima, would he have died so miserably?" ”

"It's nothing, it's my eldest brother who is to blame, he is too honest, I am afraid that people will say that he is nepotistic, and he refuses to arrange a fat difference for me." Mu Lima smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Even my old subordinates are very strange when they enter Beijing, and ask me why I don't even have the qualifications to go to the court?" ”

Fat Lu continued to smirk, and Mulima said again: "Lord Lu, you have a sedan chair, I have to find a place to avoid the snow, this ghost weather, it's starting to snow again." With that, Mulima turned and left.

"General Mulima, please wait." Fat Lu's heart suddenly moved, and he blurted out to stop Mulima.

"What's the matter?" Mulima looked back in confusion.

"No matter what, change history, change history, maybe the track of history will develop in a better direction. If you miss this village, there will be no more this shop. Fat Lu gritted his teeth, squeezed out a smile on his fat face, and said: "General Mulima, I want to go with you to find a place to avoid the snow and drink tea and chat a few words - I want to tell you a very wonderful story about it." ”

"What's the story?" Mulima is a flurry.

"The story of how a general with strong martial arts carelessly lost Jingzhou and was plotted by a group of young people." Fat Lu replied with a smile: "The humble position can be guaranteed, and General Mulima will definitely be inspired when he listens to it." ”
