After being viciously compensated by Wang Fang and Wang Shilang for a while, after being absent from the court, in the afternoon, Lu Hanqiang came to the noon gate to hand over a sign and ask to see Chongzhen in the afternoon. Ethereal.2.

As a result, before the sign was handed over, I saw a little eunuch running over from afar, and said happily: "Lu Banyu, the emperor has sent me to wait here for a long time, you can be regarded as coming, hurry up and let the little one take you in." ”

Lu Hanqiang smiled and grabbed this little guy who was thinly dressed and had a blue nose from the cold, "The little father-in-law has worked hard, so there will be work." The plain and intimate words made the little eunuch's nose sour, and what made his nose even more sour was that he felt that there was an extra note in his hand, he knew that this was Lu Hanqiang's IOU, as long as he took it, no matter when, as long as he went to the newspaper office or the teahouse, he would immediately get real silver, which was compassion.

As the little eunuch walked to the palace gate, the Han forbidden army walked into the palace after a simple body search.

The huge and gloomy Forbidden City is still solemn, and it is brought into the imperial study, the imperial study is still cold enough to make the inkstone freeze, look around, the table furnishings have not changed, to say that it has changed, that is, it is more old, looking at the study that has not changed at all, Lu Hanqiang actually has a trance.

The little eunuch said humbly: "I just got the news, the emperor wants to come to the next court to wait for you to visit, but just now Zhou Tingru and Zhou Pavilion have something to report, so the emperor specially ordered to let the companion wait for a while." ”

It was rare for Chongzhen to put on such a polite and virtuous posture, so Lu Hanqiang pondered for a while, looked at the thin clothes of the little eunuch and the little palace maid who stood quietly in the study, and her trembling shoulders, so he frowned and said, "Little father-in-law, can you find a pen and paper?" ”

There was pen and paper on the bookcase, but that couldn't be moved.

The little eunuch hurriedly took out a set of paper and pencils in a compartment on the side, which was specially used for the ministers.

Lu Hanqiang thought about it for a while, and immediately wrote a line of words on the paper, this little eunuch had studied in the school in the palace, and he recognized the words, and when he saw Lu Hanqiang's writing, his nose was sour, and he quietly knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Hanqiang.

Lu Hanqiang handed the note to the little eunuch: "Get up, get up, you take this note and go to my teahouse immediately, and let the guys hurry up." ”

The little eunuch sniffed and immediately ran out like a wild fly.

What Lu Hanqiang wrote on the paper was that he would donate 10,000 stones of coke and 10,000 horses of coarse cloth, and this one stroke, according to the value on the market, was 100,000 silver.

This not only bought Chongzhen, but also bought all the people in this palace, including these little eunuchs and little palace maids, at least they could buy a thicker underwear.

It may also be that Zhou Tingru really has some business trip, or maybe he simply embarrassed Lu Hanqiang, just this one, it took a full three hours, that is, six hours, and at this time, Lu Hanqiang felt that the earth dragon under his feet was heating up again, that is, part of the coke for heating was sent to the palace.

When he was drowsy in the slowly rising heat, a soft voice from outside the door: "Long live the car-"

Several little palace maids immediately opened the curtains obediently and skillfully, and Chongzhen, who looked even thinner, walked into the imperial study accompanied by Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen.

As soon as he walked into the imperial study, Chongzhen was stunned, because he felt that the imperial study was warmer than usual, so he scolded in a low voice: "Who dares to be the earth dragon of the main ascension, a waste of nothing?" ”

At this time, the little eunuch immediately knelt down and said happily: "Your Majesty, it's not a waste, it's that Lu Banyu donated 10,000 stones of coke as soon as he came, and 10,000 horses of coarse cloth to give us these small ones, so that we dare to raise the earth dragon into fire." ”

Chongzhen raised his eyebrows, and his tone was also a little happy: "Lu Ban is here?" Where is it. ”

Lu Hanqiang, who was kneeling at the corner, said softly: "Lu Hanqiang, a cloth cloth and grass people, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

After getting used to the dim light in the room, Chongzhen hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to pull up Lu Hanqiang, but he stopped halfway through his hand, and then pulled him up: "Get up, what grass people and grass people, we are still classmates, we are still classmates." ’

Lu Hanqiang stood up, just looked at Chongzhen so plainly, Chongzhen also looked at Lu Hanqiang, Chongzhen's eyes were still gloomy, and Lu Hanqiang's eyes still did not have the respect for imperial power, but slowly, the eyes of the two of them were soft and warm, and after a long time, the two said in unison: "(Emperor, companion reading) has lost weight." ”

Chongzhen felt that his nose was a little sour, and Lu Hanqiang felt that his eyes were a little red, at this time, the two of them were thinking about the friendship between their classmates back then, a feeling from the bottom of their hearts. At this time, it seems that all the mustard has disappeared.

Turning his head, Chongzhen found another topic to hide his embarrassment, and asked the little eunuch: "Did Lu Banyu send the coke donated to the old ladies behind, and did Empress Zhang and other ladies send it over?" ”

To say that Chongzhen is mean and unkind is a characteristic of his character, it is actually wronged him, he treats his relatives, Chongzhen is sincere, such as Chongzhen all his life, he treats the old ladies of the harem very well, and there are only one and two concubines in his life, and he treats them very well.

The reason why he is mean and unkind is just to treat their courtiers, and among the courtiers in the late Ming Dynasty, can anyone treat each other sincerely? A slap didn't make a sound, and in the end, it was those ministers who made Chongzhen feel cold.

If there is a solid heart for him, it is Lu Hanqiang, but unfortunately he is in the ranks of courtiers, and there is a generation gap by nature, which is no way.

The little eunuch immediately replied happily: "Your Majesty, as soon as the person who reads with Lu receives the note, he immediately sends a thousand stones of coke to the palace urgently, and the slave does not dare to slack off, so he directly sends a part to the chief eunuchs of each palace first, and asks each palace to make a fire urgently, and it should be all fine now." ”

Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, "You are doing a good job, you are diligent and have eyesight, so let's do it, tomorrow you will follow Cao Daban to learn and experience." ”

This little guy was blindfolded at that time, and he didn't move for a long time, and Cao Huachun, who was following Chongzhen, smiled and patted his head: "Stupid with joy? Don't thank the emperor for his grace, or I'll beat you up in a while, and then I'll go to the clean place with you. The little eunuch woke up at this time, lay on the ground and kowtowed to Chongzhen, then kowtowed to Lu Hanqiang, and then kowtowed to Cao Huachun.

Chongzhen turned to the back of the jade case and sat down, then pointed at Lu Hanqiang and said, "You also sit, it's better for us to sit and talk." ”
