It was already noon when the carriage returned to the Li Mansion from Qingliang Mountain, and Li Lanting lifted the curtain and got down from the carriage. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info stretched his waist, and then turned his head and walked towards the door. At this time, he was thinking about another thing in his heart, Hangzhou Governor Wei Nanlu will visit in the afternoon, he needs to rectify and rest now, and he should still set up a banquet in the house in the evening to entertain the other party. Before going out, he had already notified Steward Liu to take charge of this matter.

After entering the door, Li Lanting took off his coat and said to the servants beside him, "Wait a minute, just say that the prefect of Hangzhou is visiting tonight, everyone behaves in a good manner, don't lose the face of the Li Mansion." ”

The servant replied resignedly.

It was still early, Li Lanting was about to walk to the bedroom, but he saw Steward Liu coming in a hurry, holding a letter in his hand, and handing it to him in a proper manner, "Master, here is a letter from Bianliang to show you." ”

Bianliang.

Li Lanting's footsteps paused, his first thought was his old friend Chen Anzhi, took the letter in the butler's hand, the cover still had the words Li Lanting personally opened, the sealed fire paint had not been removed, raised his head and said to the trembling housekeeper Liu beside him with a gloomy expression, "Besides you, who else has seen this letter?" ”

Steward Liu's heart sank, and he immediately understood what the master meant, and said respectfully, "Back to the master, I haven't seen anyone except me." ”

Li Lanting's originally wrinkled brows relaxed, the secret of the party struggle in Bianliang's political arena was originally a secret matter, and he didn't want a third person to know about it, after all, it was related to the safety of Chen Zhongqing and their family. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, not to mention that there is a nine-thousand-year-old who is more terrifying than a tiger by the emperor's side, and he has just washed Bianliang City with a pair of hands to understate the blood.

Li Lanting told the old housekeeper in a stern tone, "Steward Liu, you must not reveal the matter of this letter, remember, you can't talk about this matter with anyone, even if you ask about it, understand?" If I know this information is revealed, you know what the ending is. ”

Steward Liu buried his head very low, it was the first time he had seen the old man ask himself in such a stern tone, and he had a hunch that there might be an ulterior secret behind this. And these secrets, as a subordinate, I don't even have the qualifications to watch.

Thinking of this, Steward Liu's Adam's apple rolled a little, and he finally squeezed out a sentence.

"The old slave understands."

Li Lanting took the letter into the room, closed the door, hung up the fire paint with a knife, and spread the letter on the table. As his gaze moved downward, his originally frowning brows gradually relaxed, and then he sat on the rosewood table and chair, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Brother An is so courageous, it seems that the nephew finally doesn't have to hide and dodge in this Hangzhou City."

This was the first time in three months that he had received good news from Bianliang.

All the people of the party in the coup d'état on the Shangyuan Festival have been arrested, and those who should be copied are beheaded, and those who are exiled are exiled. The powerful 9,000-year-old did things neatly, and after killing the political opponents of the coup d'état by bloody means, he finally firmly controlled the political situation in the DPRK, and Chen Anzhi changed from a frightened conspirator to a celebrity around Fan Xiwen because of the coup list.

All this was completely unexpected by Li Lanting, from the military department Shangshu to the left servant of Shangshu, the gap between one step to the sky was enough to make others envious.

At the end of the letter, Chen Anzhi told Li Lanting that after he had completed the arrangements up and down in the court, after the end of Ding You's winter, Chen Zhongqing would be allowed to return to Bianliang in the early spring of the next year.

After returning to Bianliang, Chen Anzhi left a blank, but Li Lanting knew a little that their Chen family would become the hottest family in the court, Chen Zhongxu was elected as an official that year, and in just four years, he achieved the position of a local magistrate from a seven-pin county order to the position of a local magistrate on the Liangzhejiang Road, and two or three years later fell from a local magistrate to the court as an official, among which the operation behind Chen An's family was indispensable. And Chen Zhongqing, who is amazingly talented, will only come from behind in the future, and his power will continue unabated.

A ride in the dust, a blockbuster.

This side of Hangzhou City was embarrassed for him after all, and only when he arrived in the most prosperous and wealthy capital of the Southern Jin Dynasty was the place where he really displayed his ambitions.

The groom slowly lowered the curtain embroidered with the peony pattern of Luoyang, and the wind blew Wei Nanlu's left sleeve, revealing a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads. He closed his eyes slightly, as if he couldn't feel at ease, and reconfirmed the gifts prepared by him.

"This calligraphy and painting was painted by everyone in Linyixian, and the seal of the jade carving is a gadget sent by the Su family, which can be regarded as a noble gift full of elegance and taste, and Mr. Lanting loves to eat the rice cakes of Fengwei Zhai, well, the etiquette is complete. Make sure nothing is missing. ”

Wei Nanlu hooked the corners of his mouth, he is different from the Huang Governor of Yangzhou who is bent on climbing up, and he has a good relationship with the local powerful nobles while managing his own one-acre and three-third of land, although Li Lanting was only an official in Bianliang in his early years, and then his career was bumpy, and he degraded Bashu to the end of the seal, but this does not mean that his influence in Hangzhou is not as good as others. The person who can become a member of Hangzhou Hongru in just ten years, in addition to good conduct, is more important than influence.

And there is Zhang Xun behind him, that is the servant under the front door, the imperial relative of Bianliang, not many people know his identity, even Wei Nanlu also knows the inside story inadvertently. Although Zhang Xun and Li Lanting were very close, they kept a distance from the officials of Liangzhejiang Road, intentionally or unintentionally. He seems to be very deliberate, avoiding people on the official side. Perhaps it was because of the ancestral precept that the royal relatives of the Southern Jin Dynasty were not allowed to interfere in national affairs, so that Zhang Xun was wary of being caught.

These not rare gifts can't help but barely add to the cake.

Wei Nanlu took a deep breath, the DPRK and China have not been peaceful recently, and the Liangzhejiang Road may not be calm. The original strategy made Chen Zhongxu prepare to transfer out of here to serve as an official in the imperial court. It is said that this person has a very deep background in the court, his father is one of the six military department Shangshu, and his uncle is the household department Zuo Cao Shilang, on this identity background let the local gilding for two or three years, after returning to the court, he will be a new generation of court pillars. At present, many people are staring at the position of the envoy, and Huang Liangchun, the prefect of Yangzhou, racked his brains to point up and down in the court, wanting to win this position, among the many prefects, he is the hardest working and the most victorious.

He had this in mind, but he didn't have the connections to do it. After all, the Liangzhejiang Road is still an unattainable position for him, but if he can get in touch with that Lord Chen Zhongxu, Wei Nanlu's future career may be a little easier.

As for now, it is better to make some achievements in a down-to-earth manner, and when the opportunity is suitable, the tide will naturally rise.

Thinking of this, Wei Nanlu lifted the curtains, looked at the bustling streets where pedestrians and pawns rubbed shoulders, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently hooked an arc, after all, this is the most prosperous and rich Hangzhou City.

Wei Nanlu remembered something, and muttered to himself, "I heard that the Hangzhou Word Review Association produced a posterity with good literary talents, and I heard that it is still a descendant who is favored by Lord Lanting and Lord Zhang Xun, and I want to see it if I have the opportunity." There are not many juniors who are amazing in these years, and if the opportunity is suitable, you can also recommend it, which can be regarded as a favor for Lord Lanting. ”

Thinking of this, Wei Nanlu smiled, stretched out the peach blossom fan in his hand, and said smugly, "Presumably this gift, that descendant will not refuse." ”
