In September, the city of Beijing is full of a busy scene, if you don't go to the north of the city, the whole Beijing division is a scene of peace and prosperity. With the end of the township examinations in various places, this year's scholars began to gather in the capital. Among them, there are also martial artists from all over the country who have entered Beijing to participate in the martial arts, but most of them are the sons of nobles from all over the world.

The capital is more prosperous in this, with people coming and going, cars coming and going, a scene of peace and prosperity. Many knowledgeable people understand that such prosperity is just a façade, and if you go to Beicheng to see, you may understand how far the country has come.

But no one cares about this, whether it is the meat eaters in the court, or the scholars who promise to take the affairs of the world as their own responsibility. They go back to the Qinglou in the south of the city, and they will go to the best restaurants, but they will not come to the north city.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was walking on the streets of Beicheng at this time, looking at the low houses, leaning on the lying spirit everywhere, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned very tightly. Wang Chengen, who was following the Emperor of the Apocalypse, was worried, if it weren't for the Emperor of the Apocalypse with his guards, he would definitely not let the Emperor of the Apocalypse come here.

It seems that the heavens heard Wang Chengen's prayer, and did not stay in Beicheng for long, and soon prepared to return to the palace. However, Wang Chengen also felt the change in the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and it was obvious that the Emperor of the Apocalypse's heart was touched. By the side of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wang Chengen also knew a little about the temper of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and now the Emperor of the Apocalypse should be very angry in his heart.

Back in the palace, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did nothing, which was already beyond Wang Chengen's expectations. But when he got down, he was once again called to his side by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"Wang Chengen, you go and find Luo Sigong for me!" Since Luo Sigong came back from Zhangjiakou, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had only seen Luo Sigong once, and he didn't ask too much about it. This has always surprised Wang Chengen, after all, the Emperor of the Apocalypse has always been very concerned about Zhangjiakou's affairs.

Now the Emperor of the Apocalypse wants to see Luo Sigong. Wang Chengen naturally did not dare to slack off. He bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty!" That's what you want to do! ”

didn't delay too long, under the leadership of Wang Chengen, Luo Sigong walked in quickly. went to Zhangjiakou, and Luo Sigong seemed to have added something to his body. made him look more imposing than before.

Coming to the center of the main hall, Luo Sigong picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Luo Sigong, the commander of the minister's brocade guard, I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!" "Three bows and nine knocks, Luo Sigong is meticulous.

Nodding with satisfaction, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile: "You have done a good job in Zhangjiakou this time, and you are really satisfied, very good." ”

"Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings!" Luo Sigong bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse. Said in a respectful tone.

With a slight wave of his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said, "Get up and talk back!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" After thanking him, Luo Sigong slowly stood up and stood there respectfully.

"Is Huang Taiji okay? Is there any embarrassment for him? Looking at Luo Sigong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked expressionlessly.

Hearing the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Luo Sigong was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect the Emperor of the Apocalypse to ask such a question. There was a deep groan. Luo Sigong said in a serious voice: "Back to the emperor, Huang Taiji was pressed in a secret place by Jinyiwei. It was not pressed in prison. ”

"Don't let him do anything, wait until I want to see him, as for that Chen Liangyu, arrange the execution as soon as possible. Pressed him to parade the streets for three days, and then Ling was late at the entrance of the vegetable market! The Emperor of the Apocalypse's tone was very light and had no emotion. Obviously these are small things.

Bowing to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Luo Sigong nodded vigorously and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister will do it when he goes back!" ”

Nodding with a smile, the Emperor of the Apocalypse turned his gaze to Wang Chengen on the side again. said in a deep voice: "Luo Sigong did a beautiful job this time, is there a reward plan on the celebrant side?" For this matter, the Emperor of the Apocalypse must personally inquire about it.

"Back to the emperor, the opinion of the celebrant has been drawn up, and he will be promoted to General Jinwu, General Longhu will be awarded, and the second rank will be added to protect the army." Wang Chengen looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said the opinion of the celebrant eunuch. In fact, this reward can be said to be very small, and it is only a loose rank and honor, and there is no actual benefit.

However, the celebrant also understood that since the Emperor of the Apocalypse was asking them to draw up a reward, they couldn't draw it up too high. After all, there is room for the Emperor of the Apocalypse, after all, it is still necessary for the Emperor of the Apocalypse to give grace to him.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned and thought, Luo Sigong was already the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and there was indeed no reward in terms of real power. However, the reward was not very good, and after pondering for a while, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "Doctor Ronglu, Jiazhu State, and Jin Zuodu Governor, Enyin's son is a thousand households in Jinyi, and he will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver." ”

"Minister Luo Si congratulates the Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Luo Sigong hurriedly knelt on the ground, obviously he didn't expect that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would give him such a heavy reward.

Doctor Ronglu is a loose rank of a product, Zhuguo is a piece of martial arts, and he also has a son, as for the silver ten thousand taels, it is insignificant. What Luo Sigong didn't expect the most was that the Zuo Governor, when the Ming Dynasty was founded, Emperor Taizu changed the Privy Council to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and set up the Metropolitan Governor to control Chinese and foreign soldiers and horses. In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Hu Weiyong was punished, and in order to prevent excessive concentration of military power, the metropolitan governor's office was changed to the middle, left, right, front and rear five military governors, each with a member of the left and right governors. Each prefecture commanded the troops of the capital guard and the outer guard through the capital division. After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, only the names of the guards remained, and the governors were fictitious.

Although the current Metropolitan Governor is only a fictitious title, it is a sign of reaching the peak of military attachés, and Luo Sigong is fifty-nine years old this year. The commander of the Jinyi Guard makes this position able to sit for a few years, but it will not be too long, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse is making Luo Sigong have no regrets.

Walking down the steps slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse gently helped Luo Sigong up, and said in a deep voice: "Your loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and my loyalty, I know it, and I see it all in my heart." Do things well, I won't treat my own people badly. ”

At this time, Luo Sigong felt warm in his heart, he had been the commander of the Jinyi Guard for so many years, and he had no such feelings for the promoted Wanli Emperor. He knew in his heart that this might be the grace of knowing each other! Bowing to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Luo Sigong's voice trembled and said, "The minister must be smeared with liver and brain." ”

Luo Sigong left the palace, with satisfaction and relief, his heart was hot. The whole Zhangjiakou matter seems to have passed like this, and the court of the Ming Dynasty has once again restored calm, and the ancient wells are not wavering.

In the first year of the Apocalypse, on the sixth day of the ninth month, Fengyang Mansion, the prefect's yamen.

Fengyang is the place where Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was prosperous, and it can naturally be taken care of by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Fengyang City has been expanded again and again, and now it is a very large city, and it is also very prosperous.

As the prefect of Fengyang Mansion, Li Changling is a civil official of the fourth grade, which is already very rare in officialdom. The most surprising thing is that this Li Changling Li is just forty years old this year, obviously there is still a long way to go, and it is not impossible for the official to become the governor of a province or the six books in the future, this is really called a bright future.

But now this Master Li is not as calm as before, standing under the eaves and looking at the sky, not caring at all about the raindrops in the sky hitting his official uniform.

"Fuzun, it's not early, you better rest a day early!" Master Zhang Fang came to Li Changling's side and said respectfully.

Glancing back at Zhang Fang, Li Changling sighed softly, and said in a rather helpless tone: "This is the third day, three days and two nights of heavy rain, and there is no sign of stopping at this time, how can this house sleep!" ”

Master Zhang Fang was born in a person and did not want to be an official, because he was a student of Li Changling's father, so he became a master by Li Changling's side. For this nominal master, the actual senior brother, Li Changling has always been very respectful.

"It's useless to watch here, God is going to rain, what can we do. What we can do is to do our best to obey the destiny of heaven, and if the Yellow River really breaks, it can also be regarded as a natural disaster. Zhang Fang's words seemed to be comforting Li Changling, but his face was also very unsightly, and he was at a loss when he looked at the dark sky.

Sighing softly and glancing at Zhang Fang, Li Changling said in a deep voice: "Last autumn, this official wrote to the imperial court to ask the imperial court to allocate silver taels for the management of the river, and wanted to strengthen the river embankment. However, the twists and turns are like a stone sinking into the sea, never to return, and there is no news. Later, I wrote to my tutor to ask about the reason, but the family replied that there had been a big change in the capital, and I couldn't take care of these things anymore. Now it seems that this god doesn't give any effort! If there is really something in the Yellow River, I am afraid that this official will not be able to escape the blame! ”

"Relax your mind! The breach of the Yellow River is a natural disaster, and if there is no **, Fuzun will naturally not be implicated. What's more, the seat master of the mansion is already the second assistant of the cabinet, and he actually controls the cabinet, as long as he acts on his behalf, there should not be too much of a problem. Zhang Fang groaned for a moment and said softly.

Shaking slowly, Li Changling said helplessly: "The official position of this official has been retained, but what about the people along the river?" The Yellow River embankment really burst, and I don't know how many people are going to die. If you don't get it right, it's going to be a big mess, and I'm afraid no one will be able to protect me at that time. As if she had made up her mind, Li Changling looked at Zhang Fang and said in a deep voice: "I'm in a hurry, I want to go up to the embankment to have a look!" ”

"Fuzun, it's raining so hard now, and it's night, so let's wait until dawn to go! The roads are muddy, very difficult to walk, and easy to be dangerous! Hearing Li Changling's words, Zhang Fang was taken aback and hurriedly explained.
