The gates of the capital are particularly busy at any time, and there are countless people entering and leaving every day, including gentry and commoners, princes and nobles, and so on. People pass through the gates, but sometimes the gates are guarded and only one person is allowed to pass through, and most of the time it is officials from outside the prefecture and above who enter the capital.

The south gate of the capital has also been closed, but it is not that someone is returning to Beijing, but that someone is going out of the city. The first to run was the captain of the Jinyi Guard on horseback, and the Jinyi Guard of the brigade was behind, with a total of hundreds of people.

In the zheng zhōngyāng a big banner was raised high, on which it was written Jinyi Wei Tongzhi Zhangbei Town Mansion Si Xu! It can be said that people are like tigers and horses are like dragons. For a while, everyone on the official road was sideways, but few people dared to look at it squarely.

If you have something to understand, try to avoid the team as far away, this brocade guard knows that it is not simple. It's not unheard of with the Tongzhi who is in charge of the Beizhen Mansion Division, but there are really not many people who are as famous as this Lord Xu. The case of embezzlement of military salaries in Liaodong was the hand of this subordinate, and thousands of people died, which can be described as a river of blood. For civil officials and ordinary people, this man really has blood in his hands.

Not far away, a young man with a face full of indignation, glared angrily at Xu Xianchun's team, and said disdainfully: "The imperial court eagle dog should have been eliminated a long time ago!" We are the great talents of the country who read the books of the sages, and these jiān villains are in charge, and we should beat the drums! ”

The people on one side looked at him like idiots, and all those who were closer to him dodged away, instantly isolating this person. Everyone is smiling and smiling, and the clothes look like a good show.

Three young people not far away also saw this scene, a young man wearing a blue sè gown, shaking the folding fan in his hand, and said in a rather complicated manner: "Two, we are both people who read the books of sages, why is this like this?" ”

"It's just stupid to read! That's how the foolish brother was described back then! An older young man smiled rather self-deprecatingly and said helplessly.

"Brother Wen's words are wrong! Brother Wen entered the Tribute Academy for the ninth time, and finally won the title of the gold list, and was the champion of high school. This is a civilized thing in the world, and I am afraid that it will go down in history in the future! Another young man in a white robe said with a smile.

The older man shook his head with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "Wen Zhen Meng is a shallow learner, although he aspires to be like the ancestor of the family, but the foolish brother knows in his heart that as long as he can not lose the face of the family, it is already very rare!" ”

"Brother Wen's words are wrong, we are still young, and we are uncertain about what will happen in the future. But if you want to become a person like the other ancestor Wen Tianxianggong, I'm afraid you have little hope. Now that the Holy Son is in the court, and he is assisted by virtuous ministers such as Sun Chengzong, he is far from being comparable to the Southern Song Dynasty. Brother Wen, if you are a capable minister, you may be able to leave a name in history, if you want to become a national hero like another ancestor, I'm afraid it's no fun! The man in the blue shirt on the side combined the folding fan in his hand and patted Wen Zhenmeng's shoulder.

"Brother Xiandou, look at his appearance, dignified Hanlin, he actually looks like this, I am really ashamed to be with him!" Wen Zhenmeng looked at the two of them with a smile, although his words were serious, the expression on his face was unusually happy.

The young man known as Xian Dou also flicked his sleeves, stood beside Wen Zhenmeng, and said with a burst of words on his face: "Li Banghua, for the sake of you who just married your wife, you are behaving like this here today, if you don't invite the two of us to drink, I, Lu Xiangsheng, will definitely go to tell you!" ”

Stretching out his hand and pointing at the two people, Li Banghua couldn't straighten up with a smile, but he still said with an angry face: "The two dignified Hanlin, the future cabinet ministers Zaifu, actually do such extortion here, it is difficult for you to say such righteous words!" For people like you, this official must invite you to drink! ”

The three of them looked at each other and laughed again!

Waving his hand helplessly, Li Banghua sighed and said with emotion: "At the beginning, we were full of ambition and wanted to read the books of sages in order to serve the country. Now I am waiting for the title of the gold list, ranking among the top three, and has become the pride in the eyes of countless people. Don't hide it from the two brothers, in fact, Li really has no interest in this Hanlin position. Three or five years of hope may be able to make steady progress in the official career, but is it really beneficial? The younger brother came from a slight background, and he knew the suffering of the people, so he sat on the bench here, so it was better to let the younger brother be a parent. For the benefit of the people, it is not in vain for the younger brother to study! ”

Lu Xiangsheng and Wen Zhen Meng straightened their minds, and suddenly bowed down to Li Banghua, Wen Zhenmeng said in a deep voice: "Virtuous brother Ping rì wandering bones, there are few times when it is so solemn, and today's words are really impressive!"

"Among the three of us, the foolish brother and the virtuous brother have similar ideas, the virtuous brother hopes to be able to read the people early, and the foolish brother hopes to be able to seal the wolf. If you can set foot on the grassland outside the Saiwai, the foolish brother will definitely make a career to protect the tranquility of the border fortress! A trace of excitement flashed on Lu Xiangsheng's face, he knew that he was not far from such a rì, and in three months, he would be able to go to Liaodong and meet his teacher who had never met for a long time.

Li Banghua seemed to have recovered his original book, looked at the two of them with a smile, and said in a brisk tone: "That's what the little brother said, why are the two brothers so serious!" Now we are in this Hanlin Courtyard, like a caged bird, we can't fly if we want to! ”

Waving his hand slightly, Lu Xiangsheng said mysteriously: "That's not true, things in the world always have more turnarounds!" Maybe the emperor is not happy, and we will leave the Hanlin Academy! ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and they all looked at Lu Xiangsheng curiously, but Lu Xiangsheng just smiled and shook his head, and the two of them could only cry out in vain!

"It's finally over! Let's go, but let's talk about it first, today we are out of the city to play, and we must not be the same as just now! Don't mention business again, we're going to have a good time today! Li Banghua pulled the two people forward and said with a smile.

It seems that God is working against the three of them, and just as the three of them are about to walk over, another group of people is about to leave the city. This time it was the Fanzi of the East Factory who opened the road, and it can be seen that these are the Fanzi of Jīng Rui, and the three stall leaders are at the forefront.

"Big brother, who are we following this time? I've never heard of it before! One of them glanced at the carriage behind him suspiciously, and said with some hesitation, with a slight resentment on his face.

The face of the person known as the eldest brother changed, and he glared at the person who spoke fiercely, and quickly glanced back, and saw that there was no movement, so he said with palpitations: "Don't talk nonsense, this master is famous in the East Factory, you little ones are not worthy of knowing his old man's name, let me hear you chewing the root of your tongue, I will chop off your tongue and feed it to the dog!" ”

Looking at the appearance of the boss, the two of them were all stunned, the eldest brother is an old man in the East Factory, although he is a stall leader, but the department manager and even the punishment of hundreds of households, they have to be polite when they see it. Who was in the car behind? How do you scare big brother like this? Although I was more curious, I also understood that the person behind me was extraordinary.

"What's going on? Why do all Dongchang and Jinyiwei have a large team of people dispatched? Jinyiwei went to Xu Xianchun this time, and that was the second only character in Jinyiwei to Luo Sigong. The people in Dongchang are more low-key, but looking at this way, the people who go out are not ordinary! With his eyes squinted slightly and his face solemn, Wen Zhenmeng said hesitantly.

"It's clear that something big is going on this time! In the last Liaodong embezzlement case of military salaries, Xu Xianchun was in the limelight. Later, the Shandong White Lotus Sect rebelled, and Xu Xianchun was even more fearless in the face of danger, putting life and death out of the way. Although he is a member of the factory guard, he still has integrity, and this time I am afraid that it will be another bloody storm! Lu Xiangsheng looked helplessly at the team walking over, and the expression on his face was very complicated.

snorted coldly, Li Banghua on the side showed a fierce look in his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "It's not necessarily a good thing!" The case of embezzlement of military salaries in Liaodong shook the world and shocked it! Who doesn't seem to be sanctimonious, but in fact he is full of male thieves and prostitutes. Rampant in the township, doing all kinds of evil, robbing the people's daughters, occupying the fertile land, and oppressing the good, these people should be killed! ”

Lu Xiangsheng and Wen Zhenmeng glanced at each other, the three of them grew up in different environments, and they all had their own ideals and beliefs. Perhaps for this, the three of them will take different paths!

Li Banghua came from a humble background, knew the suffering of the people, and was the most important official to love the people like a son, and to be honest and honest. That's what I do, and that's what I ask of others. For those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the local tyrants and shoddy gentry can be said to hate deeply.

Wen Zhen Meng is a descendant of Wen Tianxiang, and he has been determined to learn from his ancestors since he was a child, and he is always righteous in his chest. Among the three people, Wen Zhenmeng must be the first person!

Lu Xiangsheng wanted to learn from his father since he was a child, kill the enemy on the battlefield, and immediately look for the marquis! The strategy of war, the art of war, this is what he likes. The battlefield is also where he shows his strengths, and sooner or later he will have to go to Liaodong!

The three have different backgrounds and different aspirations, but one thing is the same, that is, to contribute to the country! This is also the reason why the three of them became best friends.

The team of Dongchang is finished, the city gate is also restored, and the three of them have also gone out of the city! It is rare to have such an opportunity, and the three of them naturally cherish it.

Not far from the south gate, there is a very inconspicuous tea stall, the owner is an old man in his fifties, holding a large teapot in his hand, with a smile on his face.

There were more than a dozen people sitting in the tea stall, all dressed in cloth clothes, looking like merchants from far away. Several people greeted the boss while inquiring about things in the capital.

At a table in the corner, one person lowered his voice and said to the other: "Sect Master, the brothers have already gone in!" Sect Master, please come to the city, too! ”

The man sighed softly, and said in a complicated manner: "The current imperial court is becoming more and more difficult to deal with, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are all over the streets and alleys, let the brothers be careful!" (To be continued.) )
