If it were possible, Zhu Ping'an really hoped that time would stop. During his days in Jingshi, a feeling of happiness always surrounded him, keeping Zhu Ping'an away from the scheming and bloody struggles, and always accompanied Mu Yuling to walk through the streets and alleys of Jingshi every day. Whenever he saw Mu Yuling rejoicing for a beautiful scenery or a small thing he gave himself, Zhu Ping'an always felt that he was the happiest person in the world.

This is the life that Zhu Ping'an wants most. Thousands of miles away, the battle between the thieves is becoming more and more intense, but this qiē seems to have nothing to do with him, guarding his beloved, spending this quiet and warm time, can there be more luxury?

However, people always have to return to reality, and what broke this peace was that Zhou Yanru entered Beijing.

In comparison, Zhou Yanru, as the first assistant of the cabinet in the early days of Chongzhen's succession, complemented the period when he was in charge of the government and Chongzhen, who had just ascended the throne, so the court situation was stable. It is no wonder that Chongzhen always misses his "golden time" as the first assistant, so after a series of attempts on Yang Sichang failed, Chongzhen's first thought was Zhou Yanru.

Zhou Yanru entered Beijing this time, it can be said that the scenery is infinite, as soon as he entered the capital, he was summoned by Emperor Chongzhen, and then he was appointed as a scholar of the Zhongji Palace, a scholar of the Ministry of Officials, instead of Xue Guoguan as the first assistant, the prime minister.

After that, the first person Zhou Yanru saw was Zhu Ping'an. Because, if it weren't for Zhu Ping'an's plan, with the news of the defeat of Xiong Wencan and Zuo Liangyu, Yang Sichang was forced out of the capital, I am afraid that it would take a while for Zhou Yanru to return to Beijing, and now the position of first assistant is in hand. Zhou Yanru naturally wanted to express his gratitude to Zhu Ping'an.

When they met for the first time, Zhou Yanru was also taken aback by Zhu Ping'an's youth, I really don't know how this young boy came up with such a meticulous strategy, and actually broke up the powerful Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian alliances, and forced the two to leave Beijing. If these two people know the reason, I'm afraid they will inevitably beat their chests!

For Zhu Ping'an, Zhou Yanru maintained enough courtesy, and said in his words that if the emperor hadn't given him a reward early in the morning. This time, when he entered Beijing, he had to find a future for Zhu Ping'an. At least it must be a military attache position of a product, which means that it is deliberately wooed.

Now Zhou Yanru is in the center, but Yang Sichang's henchmen are still all over the court, and the next step is to eliminate dissidents. Install cronies. Although Yang Sichang is out of Beijing. But he controlled many governors and generals in various places. Comparatively speaking, in this regard, Zhou Yanru is much inferior. Therefore, Zhou Yanru also hoped to do his best to promote Zhu Ping'an and make him the main general, so that Zhou Yanru's forces could infiltrate into the military and localities.

But Zhu Ping'an heard something different from Zhou Yanru's words, it was a kind of condescending, not the previous mutual cooperation, and it is no wonder that now that Zhou Yanru is in charge of the government again, he can no longer talk about any cooperation with his own small deputy commander-in-chief. However, as long as he is out of Beijing, whether it is Zhou Yanru or Emperor Chongzhen in the deep palace, it will be difficult to restrain Zhu Ping'an's development.

What's more, this Zhou Yanru also wants to cultivate Yin Shigang to become a pawn by Zhu Ping'an's side, from this point of view, this person is a person with an extremely strong desire to control, and he must be cautious when dealing with him in the future.

After seeing Zhou Yanru, Zhu Ping'an had no trouble in Beijing, and he set off for Shandong on the same day. Lu Xiangsheng also specially sent someone to send the news, he is also leaving Beijing in the near future, and wants to ask Zhu Ping'an to set off with him, and by the way, he meets an old friend who is about to enter Beijing, and Zhu Ping'an readily agrees.

Mu Yanzi still didn't pretend to say goodbye to Zhu Ping'an, but he didn't take the trouble to tell Zhu Ping'an to do his best and not take it lightly. In the end, the key point was that in mid-August, he handed over the errand of the East Palace, and then went to Shandong to let Zhu Ping'an and Mu Yuling get married. This made the two people who listened to his training trembling smile.

On the day of departure, Zhu Ping'an specially bid farewell to Wang Chengen. For the liaison between him and Zhu Ping'an, who was personally sealed by Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Ping'an did not feel a trace of pressure, but the love and trust projected in his eyes made Zhu Ping'an feel a strong sense of love, which made Zhu Ping'an very strange, this kind of look He had seen in the eyes of Lu Zhenfei and Yao Shaoqin, but it appeared in the eyes of an old eunuch who had been in the deep palace for many years, but it made Zhu Ping'an puzzled.

didn't see Wang Chengen, but it was Huaide, a little eunuch beside him, who went out of the palace to see Zhu Ping'an. Huaide is the old customer of the Yin Shigang Warehouse, Zhu Ping'an has long known this, knowing that Huaide likes ancient books, Zhu Ping'an handed over a few specially found books that had been prepared and some supplements prepared for Wang Chengen.

Wilder smiled, but didn't say anything polite. Just told Zhu Ping'an, Wang Chengen didn't have anything else to explain, but specially told Zhu Ping'an to go to Shandong, pay attention to two people, one is Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu in Yanzhou, and the other is Liu Zeqing, who was the chief soldier of Shandong at the time, Zhu Ping'an wants to gain a firm foothold in Shandong, these two people are the characters who have to be faced, how to get along, it is all up to Zhu Ping'an to speculate, but Wang Chengen will give full support.

Huaide also said: "My father-in-law knew that Lord Zhu was obsessed with firearms, and he had previously obtained a copy of Bi Maokang's firearm pattern ...... through Lord Yang Tinglin."

Zhu Ping'an was stunned,

Wilder continued: "What the righteous father means is that it is a bit troublesome to only want to copy the pattern. There are still a few craftsmen who followed Lord Bi that day, and the father-in-law has found them and ordered them to wait on the official road outside the city. ”

After Zhu Ping'an listened, he didn't say anything, just knelt respectfully outside the palace gate and kowtowed three times. He and Wang Chengen have known each other for a short time, but this person is like his own elders, taking care of everything, and even taking Chen Yuanyuan, who he inadvertently saved, into the palace to hide, these things are unbelievable to Zhu Ping'an. asked Wang Chengen several times but remained silent, but Zhu Ping'an felt that he must have some kind of close connection with himself. And these can only wait for later.

Although Zhu Ping'an said "thank you", Huaide knew who he was thanking in his heart, so he couldn't help but smile and nod slightly.

……

Lu Xiangsheng's outfit was quite simple, with only a big car and more than ten family members to follow, dressed in filial piety clothes, but his expression was much more relaxed.

Yang Dekai and more than 100 Lu Xiangsheng's personal guards changed into civilian clothes and waited outside the city gate early. Lu Xiangsheng also had to advise again. solemnly entrusted them to Zhu Ping'an.

Zhu Ping'an was polite to Gong Yonggu, Zhou Mian and Zhou Yanru's housekeepers who came to see them off. Then he took his leave of the city.

Mu Yuling had to go out of the city to see her off, but Zhu Ping'an couldn't resist her, so he asked Cao Wuxian to mix her carriage into the convoy, and then they went out of the city together.

Unexpectedly. Outside the city. But two young girls got out of the carriage. Everyone was stunned, but Lu Xiangsheng and Zhu Ping'an recognized the appearance of the girl next to Mu Yuling, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is well!"

Lu Xiangsheng was a little frightened, and after saluting, he glanced at Zhu Ping'an and stepped aside.

Zhu Yujiao looked proud, let go of Mu Yuling's hand, and whispered in her ear: "Borrow your future husband for a moment, I will ask him two words!" ”

No matter how shy and surprised Mu Yuling was, Zhu Yujiao beckoned to Zhu Ping'an and motioned for him to follow him to the side of the road.

"What does the eldest princess command?" Zhu Ping'an, who was confused, asked.

Zhu Yujiao blinked, "Zhu Ping'an, you are so bold!" ”

"Why did Your Highness say this?"

"Chen Yuanyuan was robbed by you, right?" Zhu Yujiao grinned.

Zhu Ping'an was taken aback, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhu Yujiao was very proud, and continued in a low voice: "Don't lie to the palace, sue you, Wang Daban has already passed by the palace, and you are still a man who stands up to the sky, and when you see that a weak woman is about to fall into the fire pit, you know how to help." Wu Sangui is ugly, Bengong hates it when he sees it, and when he thinks that Miss Chen is going to fall into his hands, Bengong feels disgusted. Fortunately, you are here, and this palace is here to help you take credit. Also, Miss Chen is currently in the dormitory of the main palace, and Sister Mu is going to Shandong in August, so she can still accompany me......! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yujiao couldn't help but look lonely, suddenly, she suddenly saw Cao Wuxian, who was looking at the situation here with a vigilant gaze not far away, and couldn't help but have a trace of blush on her pretty face, pointing at Cao Wuxian, "He is your subordinate?" ”

Zhu Ping'an finally put his mind at ease, but he was confused by Zhu Yujiao's jumping thinking, looking at Cao Wuxian, he couldn't help but shake his head, "No, he is a friend of Xiaguan who grew up together since childhood, named Cao Wuxian!" ”

"I see!" Zhu Yujiao nodded thoughtfully and waved her hand, "Okay, it's okay, this palace also wishes you a safe journey!" ”

Zhu Ping'an wiped the sweat from his forehead, and at this time, Mu Yuling had already walked over and asked, "What did the eldest princess tell you, see how you got sweat?" So saying, he handed the handkerchief,

Zhu Ping'an was excited, and he was busy explaining, "It's nothing, it's nothing, His Royal Highness specially instructed me to take care of you with a good life, and don't bully you!" ”

Zhu Yujiao grinned and cast a meaningful smile, "Yes, this palace also told him, if you dare to bully Sister Mu, this palace will ask my father to send Jinyi Wei to arrest him back to the capital and put him in prison!" ”

After speaking, they jumped back to the carriage, leaving Zhu Ping'an and Mu Yuling crying and laughing.

"By the way, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess also asked about no injuries, what's going on?" Zhu Ping'an asked Mu Yuling.

Mu Yuling was stunned, "When asked about no injury, why does she always mention no injury intentionally or unintentionally these days?" ”

Zhu Ping'an's heart tightened, "Could it be ......?" How can this work, didn't you tell her that it was ...... to be harmless! ”

Mu Yuling looked aggrieved, "How can this be said, His Royal Highness is still young, and these things are plausible, not to mention, the thing that does not hurt is his scar, how can I mention it to others!" ”

At this time, the curtain of the carriage revealed a thin gap, and a pair of eyes secretly looked at Cao Wuxian, who was long and jade. (To be continued......)
