Wu Lin's face showed loneliness, since the young master and his wife left the capital, the house seemed very quiet, Wu Lin originally wanted to follow to Tongchuan Mansion Road, but the young master did not agree, asked him to stay in the capital, guarding this mansion, and now, Wu Lin and another subordinate are left in the mansion.

It is necessary to leave a mansion in the capital, but as a housekeeper, there is no need for Wu Lin to stay in the capital and wait, this kind of thing of guarding the house, any subordinate can be competent, so this time the young master returned to the capital, Wu Lin greeted him very carefully, and he always wanted to open his mouth and say his inner thoughts.
The young master is about to leave the capital, Wu Lin's heart is very worried, he must say his thoughts, otherwise the young master will leave the capital, I don't know when he will come back, you must know that Wu Lin has been waiting alone in the mansion in the capital for a year.
When the brewed tea was brought into the study, Wu Lin did not leave immediately, and stood silently aside.
Before Wu Lin could speak, the young master's voice came.
"Housekeeper, I've been in the capital for more than a year, I think it's difficult, do you want to leave the capital, or go back to your hometown Luzhou, or go to Luzhou Mansion in Sichuan."
Wu Lin's face turned pale instantly, and his body trembled slightly.
"The little one is willing to follow the young master."
"It's okay, this mansion is not big, I think it's enough to leave one person to take care of it, you are ready to prepare, follow me tomorrow and go to Luzhou Mansion, where Mrs. is in charge of everything in the house for the time being, and there are many inconvenient places, after you go, you can take a hand and let Mrs. be more leisurely."
"The little ones obey the orders, and the little ones will prepare."
"Well, how to take good care of the affairs here, you also have to give an explanation."
After Wu Lin left, Wu Shaogang's attention shifted to the documents again, he still read the documents prepared by the fourth master, these documents have been read three times, every time Wu Shaogang can get some insights from them, of course, he carefully and repeatedly read these documents, there is his own reason.
Hurried footsteps sounded outside the study.
It was still the housekeeper Wu Lin who came in.
Wu Lin held a red invitation in his hand.
"Young master, someone just sent an invitation, and the little one took the invitation, and the person who came left quickly, without saying anything, and the little one didn't know what was written in the invitation."
Wu Shaogang opened the invitation card slowly, and his eyes quickly lit up.
"Housekeeper, ask Zheng Tongwu and them to prepare, I'll go out immediately, and I won't eat at home in the afternoon."
The carriage went out of Fengyu Gate, Wu Shaogang came down, Zheng Tongwu on the side handed over the reins, and after getting on the horse, Wu Shaogang clamped the horse's belly hard, and the horse neighed, galloping away in the direction of Fengle Building.
Zheng Tongwu and the others also quickly got on the horse and followed towards Fengle Building.
Fengle Lou looked very calm outside, there were not many people eating, but when I went up to the third floor, the atmosphere quickly became different, there were several people in the corridor, these people were not the tea doctor, the shopkeeper and the little servant of the restaurant.
Wu Shaogang barely looked at these people, and walked straight towards the innermost private room.
After these people saw Wu Shaogang, they also retreated slightly towards both sides of the corridor, and Zheng Tongwu and the others who followed behind Wu Shaogang were stared at tightly by these people.
Zheng Tongwu will not enter the private room, which is clearly requested by Wu Shaogang.
There was a man in black standing at the door of the private room, his sharp gaze swept over Wu Shaogang's body, turned around and pushed open the door of the private room, and then his body flashed open, inviting Wu Shaogang to enter, Wu Shaogang gestured to Zheng Tongwu beside him with his eyes, and then walked into the private room.
The door to the private room quickly shut.
Looking at the familiar back standing by the window, Wu Shaogang clenched his fists and spoke.
"The deputy envoy of Sichuan system, the defense envoy of Tongchuan Fu Road, the prefect of Luzhou has seen Lu Shangshu."
"Lord Wu, I haven't seen you for a few days, I'm so rusty, this is Fengle Building, not in the court, there is no need to be so restrained, although let go of some."
"The etiquette of the lower officials is indispensable, and Lord Lu is so kind to the lower officials, I am grateful."
Lu Wende, who turned around, stared at Wu Shaogang with a pair of eyes, and did not move away for a long time.
It is not a very polite thing to look at a person directly, but it is a pity that Lu Wende is qualified to do so in front of Wu Shaogang, who is the official of the court, and is in charge of many officials, including Wu Shaogang.
Wu Shaogang's attitude of not being arrogant or humble, as well as his calm momentum, made Lu Wende finally look away.
"Lord Wu, I have a lot of emotions these days, I can't help but think of the things in Huangzhou, when you and I worked together to fight against the Mongolian Tatars, now I think about it is very comfortable, after that, you and I joined hands again to fight against the Mongolian Tatars on Tongchuan Road, and also won a complete victory, I thought carefully, these are the will of God."
"The lower official followed Lord Lu's side, did his best, and defeated the Mongolian Tatars by luck, speaking of which, this is all under the command of the adult, and the lower official is just deploying and doing things according to the arrangement of the adult."
"Okay, don't say these words, when I saw you, I didn't feel ordinary, but in a few years, you have shown extraordinary ability, I know that you have a big mind, but also understand your ability, today I specially invite you to Fengle Building, just to get together, those things in the past, for the time being, all aside."
Lu Wende has always taken the initiative, which makes a strange atmosphere in the private room.
Wu Shaogang's brain is running at a high speed, the next day he is going to leave the capital and go back, it should be said that this time to the capital, the purpose has been achieved, but at this time, Lu Wende sent someone to send an invitation, inviting him to Fengle Building for a party.
Wu Shaogang didn't plan to see Lu Wende, after all, it was Lu Wende who took the initiative to calculate him, and this time the calculation was fatal, if Lu Wende's calculation was successful, then he Wu Shaogang might die without a place to be buried.
The game in officialdom is extremely cruel, once there is a serious conflict between the interests of the two sides, then both sides will not stop and will not die, but the contradiction between Wu Shaogang and Lu Wende has not yet reached such a level, and Wu Shaogang has Li Tingzhi behind him, so Lu Wende also has to have some scruples.
Of course, Wu Shaogang didn't just let Lu Wende go, but his strength was not strong enough, and he didn't have the strength to deal with Lu Wende, once his strength was enough, Lu Wende would definitely pay the price for that impeachment.
Today, Lu Wende's attitude is very strange, as if he wants to ease the contradictions.
Wu Shaogang, who crossed over, is not so simple and will not be swayed by Lu Wende.
"Xiaguan was appreciated by Lord Lu back then, so he was able to have today's status, these kindnesses, Xiaguan has always been remembered, think about what the Lord said, the Battle of Huangzhou and the Battle of Tongchuan, the Xiaguan were all victorious under the command of the Lord, these matters are not forgotten by the Xiaguan, but the Sichuan Chengxuan Deputy Envoy Zhang Shijie was secretly jealous, and made such a matter, the Xiaguan felt that it was very inappropriate, so he made a special trip to the capital, and the Xiaguan had no other ideas, but felt that such matters should not continue to happen in the future. . . ."
Lu Wende's face was always smiling, and after Wu Shaogang finished speaking, he quickly spoke.
"What Lord Wu said is that Zhang Shijie was restless when he was in the capital, he was the general of the Jin Kingdom, and he was appreciated by the emperor and the court, but he was not satisfied, and he did such a thing again and again, which must not be spared, I am ready to report to the emperor and the Privy Council, Zhang Shijie must be punished."
"Everything is under the orders and arrangements of the adults."
Wu Shaogang did not intend to say good things for Zhang Shijie, after experiencing the impeachment and twists, the possibility of Zhang Shijie staying in Sichuan no longer exists, as for whether he will encounter a big disaster, it is also unlikely, after all, the mastermind of the impeachment is Lu Wende, Zhang Shijie is just a person who is being used, and Lu Wende really made a fuss about this matter, Zhang Shijie may also make a fuss and tell the whole reason of the matter, at that time, Lu Wende's face is not good-looking, and there will be discussions in the DPRK and China.
For the so-called three heroes of the late Song Dynasty, Wu Shaogang was really disappointed in his heart, and the previous recruitment intention gradually became lighter, and Wu Shaogang thought that the mysterious and huge power to protect the imperial power actually did not seem to be so huge, the Great Liao and the Jin Kingdom had risen, and the strength was far stronger than that of Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty, and they also received a lot of support.
In the final analysis, the vast majority of people are in their own interests, and the interests of the country are put on the back burner.
Any ruler can only gather enough talents around him if he strives to make himself strong, otherwise he will only rely on the imperial power and recruit only the people of the twilight.
When he started eating and drinking, Lu Wende always had a smile on his face, and some words didn't need to be completely said, Wu Shaogang was also a smart person, and many things were up to the point.
Wu Shaogang's performance was also very calm.
This time the contest and game made him remember a truth, the magnates in the court are not as strong as imagined, many times as long as you show enough hardness and confidence, people will unconsciously retreat, and when your strength is strong enough, these magnates will see the wind and rudder, and even gather around you.
Today, the signal given by Lu Wende is that the matter of impeachment should be resolved peacefully, and neither side should mention it again, nor should they dwell on this matter, and the page will be completely turned over.
Of course Wu Shaogang agreed, in his heart, this page would not be turned over for the time being, but it was just pressed down.
In the next period of time, it will seem very calm, and even Wu Shaogang's situation in Sichuan and Tongchuan Fulu will be better, but it is still unknown how long this calm can be maintained.
In any case, Wu Shaogang wants to seize this period of calm time and strive to develop his own strength. (To be continued.) )
