Don't think about it, these tails must be the centaurs of King Jing's family, and only they can swagger around the capital to track them in the big night. Replaced by ordinary people, he was already stopped by the people in Shuntianfu, who were in charge of public security.

"Stay in a sedan car!" Wu Jie thought about it and stretched out his head to let the sedan chair listen.

Now in this situation, there is no way to go to Yuwang's Mansion anymore. Otherwise, once it falls into the eyes of King Jing and them, with Xu Wei's resourcefulness, he will definitely guess that Jiajing is no longer done. Otherwise, how could Wu Jie wear civilian clothes and sneak to the palace in the middle of the night, what could not be done in a bright and bright way?

Wu Jie couldn't take this risk, but if he went back like this, Xu Wei would be suspicious.

Nowadays, the best thing to do is to find a valid reason.

But where to go?

It must be reasonable, but it must not arouse Xu Wei's vigilance.

Wu Jie's head hurt faintly, and he knew that he couldn't stay here.

In his anxiety, Wu Jie suddenly remembered Li Chengliang, who was kneeling in his big flower hall this afternoon to plead guilty, and his heart suddenly moved.

Why not go there?

Now, the two hostile camps of King Jing and King Yu are planning to lay out the story, planting their own people in key departments, and they are eager to grasp as many resources as possible before the big change, which is already a conspiracy.

Li Chengliang received the favor of my Wu Jie, from the very beginning, the word "Wu Jie" was written on his forehead, and in this life, the origin of the Yuwang Party cannot be washed away.

This person is a famous general in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and he is also a useful talent, and it may not be impossible to play his due role if he is drawn into our camp.

Let's count Li Chengliang as lucky to meet me, Wu Jie, a nobleman.

Thinking of this, Wu Jie poked his head out and asked Lian Laosan: "Lao Lian, where does Li Chengliang live?" ”

Lian Laosan replied: "My lord, Li Chengliang lives in the south of the city, and he said it when he came to my house a few days ago to post a post. ”

"Okay to go there." Wu Jie smiled, as far as he knew, the south of Beijing was very dilapidated, and many places still retained the old appearance of the Yuan capital. It has always been a place where displaced people and dilapidated settlements gather, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a slum: "It seems that this Li Chengliang's life is not good!" ”

After bringing more than half a year's troops in the southeast, Wu Jie saw the wealth of the generals under Qi Jiguang. Those guys are not full of money, and an officer came to Beijing a while ago to pay New Year's greetings to Wu Jie. In order to facilitate living, I bought a house directly in the capital. In fact, he can't stay for a few days a year.

But he didn't want a middle-level officer like Li Chengliang to be so poor that he lived in a slum.

The sedan chair was lifted and slowly walked towards the south.

Lian Laosan said: "Back to the old man's words, who said no, the Liaodong Army has been fighting against Mongolia all year round." But it is not a border army, neither the food nor the military salary is as good as Jiubian, and the officers of the guard station like Li Chengliang are even poorer. This time I came to my house to worship the door, and I couldn't scoop up the charcoal fire, but I got a lot of local products, no wonder I was made difficult by the gatekeepers. ”

"Actually, I like the local game of Tohoku. Some things can't be bought with money. By the way, how is the combat effectiveness of Li Chengliang's personal soldiers, compared to the tail that follows us? Wu Jie asked in a low voice.

Lian Laosan: "Li Chengliang's personal soldiers have all seen blood." When it comes to martial arts, it may not be as good as the tail behind, but if it is a real hand, life and death will be divided, and the victory will be won. ”

Wu Jie: "Very good, wait a minute, you can find a way to attract Li Chengliang's personal soldiers to fight with the tail behind here, and it is best to let them kill a few people." "Since you have the heart to promote Li Chengliang, okay, let him completely join our camp.

Lian Laosan nodded: "I understand, although the eldest master can rest assured." ”

After walking again, when he saw that he was about to reach the ground, even the third child's body flashed. Disappear into the darkness. With his martial arts, it was easy to hide his body from being discovered by the tail behind him. …,

This area is really very dilapidated, with narrow alleys on both sides, and there are few lights in the middle of the night.

The cold wind whistled through the alleys, rolling up snowflakes all over the sky.

In a moment, he came to the front of a large courtyard. Looking at the scale of this courtyard, it should have been a high-rise mansion two hundred years ago, but now it looks a little enough. The walls had collapsed several times, the paint on the gates had fallen off, and the pits looked like dysentery.

One of Wu Jie's entourage stepped forward and knocked on the knocker: "General Li Chengliang can live here?" ”

A loud voice came from inside, and the tone sounded very unacceptable, even with a hint of drunkenness: "What are you shouting, mourning?" What are you doing here without sleeping in the middle of the night, yes, there is our General Li living inside, what's the matter, if there is nothing important, get out, don't prevent us from eating and drinking. ”

Wu Jie smiled in his heart when he heard this, and said in his heart: Li Chengliang is a descendant of the Korean ethnic group, and there is a trace of fierceness in his veins. His personal soldiers are all elite in a hundred battles, and their origins are also very complicated, including Han Chinese, Jurchen, Goryeo, and Hezhe people who broke into the Northeast, these people are so barbaric that they don't understand the etiquette of the Central Plains at all. However, when it comes to fighting, it is really powerful. If you talk about the quality of individual soldiers, I am afraid that it is much stronger than Qi Jiguang's people, of course, the battlefield confrontation, and the relationship with the brave martial arts of the next person is not too big.

Wu Jie didn't take this rude scolding to heart, but his entourage stopped doing it.

As a scholar of the Hanlin Academy and the protégé of the future prince, they walk in the house of the minister and doctor all the year round, and when the ordinary officials see them, they are all polite, for fear of offending, not to mention this kind of unliterate martial artist.

Hearing this rude scolding, the entourage was furious and scolded sharply: "What General Li, in our eyes, is a fart." Don't hurry up and open the middle door to greet you, your creation has arrived. ”

"What the are you talking about, say it again!" There was a sudden commotion inside, followed by the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground.

Then a group of shirtless strong men opened the side door and came out, all drenched in alcohol, and carrying two lanterns in their hands.

The man at the head pointed to Wu Jie's entourage and scolded: "Where did the birdman come from, dare to make noise in front of the military master, he can't kill you!" ”

Wu Jie nodded secretly in the sedan chair: It's tough enough, maybe it's usable.

The entourage was so startled by this group of murderous soldiers that they took a step back, accidentally stepped on a stone, staggered a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.

Several of the soldiers burst out laughing.

Wu Jie's entourage was so angry that he scolded: "I don't know what is alive or dead, why don't you go and report it quickly, saying that my eldest master is here." ”

After speaking, he threw a piece of film contemptuously, and a soldier caught it. After reading it for a long time, I didn't know it, so I transferred it to someone next to me: "Master Liu, you are the general's secretary." Look at what kind of birdman is coming. ”

A bookkeeper who was so drunk that he couldn't open his eyes took the film and read: "Hanlin Academy, Bachelor of the Household Department, Zhejiang Qing Official, Shilang, Zhongwu Festival...... What a mess...... Ah, you're Wu Dada...... Big man! ”

The clerk stuttered and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Small, small, meet the master." ”

A few military men next to him were still laughing: "Master Liu, if you can't drink it, don't drink so much, it's up to you." I can't stand on my feet. ”

Master Liu got up from the ground and shouted, "Open the middle door and ask the general to come out to greet Lord Wu." ”

Wu Jie walked out of the sedan chair: "No, I'll go see him myself." ”

After saying that, he walked straight inside.

The noise at the gate of the courtyard naturally alarmed Li Chengliang inside.

Speaking of which, for Li Chengliang these days, he fell into a strange dream, and he didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow.

The current Li Chengliang can only be summed up by the word "poor". Two years ago, he was a petty officer in the Liaodong Army, because he was known for his bravery. I have also accumulated some credit. …,

In fact, with his background, it is not without development in the army. After all, he also has a position of commander of the Tieling Guard, which can be hereditary. It's just that because he is too poor to come to the capital, he can't afford to come to the capital.

Where in the capital, if you want to take a position, not to mention that if you want to get a local recommendation, you need to throw down a large amount of silver. After coming to the capital, I walked around the military department and the official department. I can't scoop it up without one or two hundred thousand taels of silver. Those adults who are directly in charge of the promotion of officials, their hearts are dark, they don't see money, who will bird you?

Fortunately, Li Chengliang should have met a nobleman in his fate, because he was brave in battle and knew how to be a man. Unexpectedly, he won the favor of the governor, wrote a letter of recommendation with a stroke of the pen, and scooped out 2,000 taels of silver to fund Li Chengliang to help him enter Beijing to take up his post.

After all, over the years, Li Chengliang has won many battles and won a lot of political capital for the governor. reciprocated the favor, and the governor also felt that it was time to promote General Li.

got the money and had a tame handwritten letter, Li Chengliang was so happy that he almost floated to the sky.

In his opinion, the dignified governor, who is a figure as big as the sky, has his letter, and the people in the military department and the official department have not done their own affairs as soon as possible.

But it turns out that Li Chengliang is really naïve, and in the capital, a governor is really nothing.

Seeing the letter handed over by Li Chengliang, the people from the military department only glanced at it casually, and asked him to go back and wait, and his expression was also extremely cold.

This wait is more than two months, during which Li Chengliang kept running there, but what was waiting for him was endless white eyes, it was really difficult to enter, difficult to do, and his face was ugly.

The urgency was urgent, and the people in the military department were also annoyed, so they said: Although this matter has to be placed in the military department, the decision is in the hands of the ministry.

Let him go to the ministry and ask.

The people in the military department think that this person surnamed Li is really ignorant, where is there someone who comes to find someone to do something with a letter, and does not give any benefits, should someone else owe you? Let's go, you bother me, I'm not polite to you, this time I will let you see the power of the officials, and let you see what is the majesty of the heavenly officials.

At that time, the people in the military department had the heart to see Li Chengliang's joke and said: The governor is in a high position, and if you go to your home, they will definitely give you face.

Li Chengliang did not doubt that he had him, so he ran to the ministry and handed over the letter to explain his origin. But he didn't want to, the little head of the ministry didn't look at it, just threw it back, and asked him to go back and wait.

Li Chengliang was anxious and said, I have been waiting in the military department for several months, how can I come to the ministry or wait, but I have been recommended by the governor.

Seeing that Li Chengliang was so unkind, the principal was furious, and was about to reprimand. At this time, the governor of Henan came to do business, and he happened to be in a bad mood when he met this principal.

The principal is not polite, pointing at the nose of the governor of Henan is a big scolding.

However, the governor of Henan didn't dare to be angry, but he accompanied him for a long time to be careful, and then the matter was done.

Li Chengliang was dumbfounded, the dignified governor of Henan, the official of the feudal territory, was the number one in the whole world, and he was scolded by the little six-grade master like his grandson. The power of this ministry is too great.

At this time, he realized that the letter written by the governor in his hand was nothing at all.

As soon as he entered the capital and went deep into the sea, he was galloping in Liaodong at the beginning, thinking that he was also a big husband, but when he came to the capital, he suddenly found that he was just a mustard seed-like little person.

If you don't go to Beijing, you don't know the official school.

After all, he was a person who had led soldiers and seen blood, Li Chengliang had a bullish temper in his heart, and he was determined to do it, so he had a big fight with the main thing at that time, and then was driven out.

After coming out, he was still not convinced, and went to the military department to ask for an explanation. ..., at first, the people in the military department ignored him.

But Li Chengliang went to the military department every day to meditate, and this trouble was half a year.

The military department now has a headache when he sees him, and feels that it is not a way for him to be so obsessed, and when he encounters this kind of barbarian, there is really no way to scoop him. So, he simply turned on the dove lamp for Li Chengliang. However, I still reminded him that it doesn't matter if the military department agrees to this matter, you still have to nod the head of the ministry, and you have to go back over there. Of course, the people in the ministry are not as easy to talk as we are, and you are afraid that you can't just make trouble. It's really annoying them, so I'll give you a kick to the end, and it's going to be a big soldier and you'll be in trouble

Li Chengliang has been in the capital for almost a year, and no matter how stupid a person is, he knows some things, so he politely asks what to do?

"Money, give money!" The people from the military department smiled helplessly and said: "Just empty words want to get a hereditary military position, where in the world is there such a cheap thing?" ”

Li Chengliang came to his senses and began to dot up and down.

But because he offended the people of the official department too badly last time, after a year, not only did the two thousand taels of silver given by the governor clean, but also filled in the more than one thousand taels of net worth he had accumulated, but he didn't even see a ripple.

This time, he also brought more than 30 personal soldiers with him, and these people were all brought out by him with one hand and one foot. Li Chengliang does not rely on military records and systems like Qi Jiguang to govern the army, but more on personal charm. These people are his net worth, so naturally they can't be abandoned.

So many people have been eating and drinking in the capital for two years, and he has long been poor.

Li Chengliang threw a large sum of silver into it, and ran the officials every day, but it had no effect.

The attitude of the officials is also worse day by day, and seeing him is like seeing a ghost.

Seeing that he was about to sit in the city of sorrow, on this day, he had just arrived at the ministry, but the chief who had always treated him badly asked him to sit down with a smile, politely shouted a few times to General Li, and then complimented him for a long time, making Li Chengliang and Zhanger King Kong confused.

Then the chief officer handed over a piece of paper: "General Li, the paperwork for your hereditary military position has come down." ”

"Ahh Li Chengliang jumped up excitedly, and couldn't help asking: "What about my appointment letter for the post of general of the dangerous mountain?" ”

"You may not be able to go to the dangerous mountains." The director smiled and handed over another document, and his attitude was even more respectful: "General Li, we have been getting along for almost a year or two, and we have become acquaintances anyway.
