The holy purpose in the palace was issued on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Liu Chengfeng was promoted to the Beizhen Prefecture Division of Beitongzhou Thousand Households, Lao Huo was promoted to the Hundred Households of the Fireworks Hutong, and the Wang Si gave flying fish clothes to show his favor.

A small 100-household house is actually a continuous benevolent order, which can be regarded as an eye-opener.

This matter has been paid attention to by many people, after all, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, it stands to reason that the imperial court is not working, that is, in the palace, and it will not deal with any official business at this time, but it is a bit intriguing to issue a will at this time.

Lao Huo used to be just a small lieutenant on the edge, but now he is the general banner first, and then he is a hundred households, and he has been promoted two levels in a year in less than a year, which can be regarded as a complete merit.

What's more, the hundred households in this fireworks alley have the thickest oil and water and the strongest strength, even the thousands of households in the inner west city can only discuss with him if they have something, and they dare not give orders to him directly, and their prominence can be imagined.

Who would have thought that such a timid guy who was as timid as a mouse would make a fortune all of a sudden since he followed Liu Chengfeng, and this brocade guard knew Lao Huo's bottom line, and at this time, he was not only envious but also envious.

Lao Huo Ren's hundred households, Liu Chengfeng is relieved, Lao Huo is kind, although he is timid, but all he has to do is to maintain the situation according to Liu Chengfeng's established methods.

As for the royal officials, although they were not promoted to knighthood, but the officials of a hundred households can get such an honor, but this face is the sky, although the palace did not let him be promoted, but it revealed a message, as long as you do it well, sooner or later it will be of great use.

After Wang Si received the will on the second day of the Lunar New Year, he came to the Wen family with Lao Huo to pay homage to Liu Chengfeng, saying that it was a visit, but it was better to say that he was here to thank him.

Liu Chengfeng saw that Chen Hongyu did not come, and felt a little lost, so he called a subordinate of the Wen family to invite, and entertained Lao Huo and Wang Si at the same time.

Liu Chengfeng is about to leave Beijing, although Beitongzhou is not far from the capital, you can go back and forth in one day, but there are some things to explain to Lao Huo and Wang Si, and a few words of encouragement, telling them to do things well, although the temple of the hundred households in the fireworks alley is small, but it is promising.

Lao Huo drank two glasses of wine, it was the old tears, his life was really bumpy, mixed for more than 20 years, from the small captain to the old captain, not to say a hundred households, a thousand households, even the ordinary captain looked down on him, I thought that this life would be like this, who knew that there could be today, in his opinion, only the position of these hundred households is enough to glorify the ancestors. Lao Huo is not an ambitious person, he belongs to the type of little rich and peaceful, this cry will inevitably be teased by Liu Chengfeng.

Before leaving, Lao Huo knelt at Liu Chengfeng's feet fiercely and said: "My lord, I will do my best to take care of the fireworks alley and hundreds of households for the adults, and not embarrass the adults." ”

Liu Chengfeng hurriedly helped him up, and said, "It's for the emperor to take care of these hundred households." ”

Although he said this, in fact, he also knew in his heart that Lao Huo was losing his sincerity to himself, and he was telling Liu Chengfeng that although Liu Chengfeng was promoted to Beitongzhou, these hundred households still looked forward to Liu Chengfeng. Liu Chengfeng was very satisfied, or rather, this is what he wanted.

Wang Si glanced at Liu Chengfeng deeply, and asked Liu Chengfeng: "When do you plan to go to Beitongzhou?" ”

Liu Chengfeng pondered for a moment and said: "Time is in a hurry, I'm afraid that I won't be able to stay in the capital for a few days, and I will set off on the sixth and seventh days of the new year." ”

The priest Wang took a deep look and said, "Take care, my lord." ”

Liu Chengfeng patted the shoulder of the Wang Minister, and said: "The Wang Priest should also take care, in fact, with the credit of the Wang Minister, it is nothing to be promoted to the hundred households or even transferred to the Experience Division, but someone has to watch the hundred households, you and Lao Huo are the people I trust the most, so I have selfish intentions, so I asked the emperor not to be promoted for the time being......"

Before Liu Chengfeng's words were finished, Wang Si had already said gratefully: "Adults cultivate, students would rather saddle the horses for adults in the hundred households, students understand what adults mean, and there are no complaints." What's more, the student has received the Qinci Flying Fish Suit, which is already a great kindness in the palace, how dare he ask for any more promotion? ”

Liu Chengfeng shook his head and said: "That's not the case, people always have to have some ambitions, if there is a chance in the future, sooner or later Wang Si will soar." ”

This sentence can be regarded as a reassuring pill for the priest Wang, and the priest Wang said gratefully: "My lord, the student has a reluctant request. The student's son has been transferred to the Baihu Institute, but he has not experienced the world after all, so the student is brave, the adult will go to Beitongzhou this time, please let the dog follow behind the adult, and there will be a response. ”

Liu Chengfeng frowned, as if he was hesitating, and said after a long time: "Priest Wang, do you know that you are going to Beitongzhou......

Wang Si interrupted without hesitation: "The student knows, it is because of this that he wants the dog to follow the adult, the adult knows the grace of the encounter, the student has nothing to repay, if the dog really encounters any danger, this is fate." But if you can survive, at least you can always have a future. ”

Liu Chengfeng sighed and said, "I understand your intentions, okay, I promise you." ”

After sending off Lao Huo and Wang Si, Liu Chengfeng did not rush back to his courtyard, but went to the study to sit for a while, and after a while, Menzi came to say: "Uncle, Chen Zongqi is here." ”

Liu Chengfeng said lightly: "Call him to the study." ”

After a while, Chen Hongyu came drunk, saw Liu Chengfeng, and saluted respectfully, saying, "I've seen an adult." ”

Chen Hongyu is very unhappy, or rather, there are a lot of complaints in his heart, he and Wang Si Yi and Lao Huo are all people around Liu Chengfeng, Lao Huo is timid, speaking of which, every time something happens, Chen Hongyu rushes to the front, he is the one who is most willing to work hard for Liu Chengfeng, and Wang Si is behind the scenes, but no matter what, Chen Hongyu originally thought that Liu Chengfeng would give him a future, this is not that he is keen on any fame and fortune, but Lao Huo has done a hundred households, and Wang Si also gave him a flying fish suit, but he has nothing, It's really not a good feeling in my heart.

Hearing the news of the holy decree, Lao Huo and Wang Si invited him to come to the Wen Mansion to see Liu Chengfeng, but Chen Hongyu refused to come, and ran to the house alone to drink and get drunk, if it wasn't for the Wen family to send someone to invite, he would never come, not that he had any resentment towards Liu Chengfeng, but he felt unbalanced and uncomfortable.

However, when he saw Liu Chengfeng, out of his consistent awe of Liu Chengfeng, Chen Hongyu's wine woke up half of a sudden, and he stood aside obediently, not daring to come out.

Liu Chengfeng was holding a book in his hand to read, but he just nodded at him, didn't speak, and still read.

There was silence in the study, this silence made Chen Hongyu's cold sweat unconsciously emerge from his forehead, his breathing gradually became heavier, and the remaining half of his drunkenness dissipated.

After a long time, Liu Chengfeng slowly put down the book, raised his eyelids and glanced at Chen Hongyu, and said, "Mr. Chen, sit down and talk." ”

Chen Hongyu picked up a seat and sat down.

Liu Chengfeng asked him, "What's the matter, drinking?" ”

"Yes." Chen Hongyu replied cautiously.

Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly and said: "During the New Year's holiday, it is inevitable to drink a few glasses of water and wine to cheer up, which is nothing originally, but it is easy to make mistakes if you drink too much wine, so it is better to drink less in the future." ”

Chen Hongyu said: "Yes." ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled again and said, "Why are you so listless today, and you can't even talk?" ”

Chen Hongyu was silent, he really didn't know how to answer Liu Chengfeng, in fact, he held back his stomach in his heart, just wanted to ask, why is it unfair for Lord Liu to saddle the horse before and after he saddles for Lord Liu?

It's just that Chen Hongyu didn't dare to say these words, so he could only respond in silence.

Liu Chengfeng sighed and said, "What? Angry and indignant? ”

This sentence asked Chen Hongyu about the point, Chen Hongyu felt aggrieved and couldn't help but say, "Yes." ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "Come, let's talk about it, why are you indignant?" ”

Chen Hong's anger came up all of a sudden, and with a little bit of wine, he boldly said: "My lord, in the guard, the humble is considered to be dedicated, and the humble is also a close confidant of the adult, and the ordinary adult is not bad for the lowly, and the humble is grateful, but this time, the lord asked the emperor for a hundred households for Lao Huo, and asked for a flying fish suit for the royal secretary, but the humble is nothing, not that the humble is rare, it's just that everyone works for the adult, others are glamorous, but the humble is so shabby, What kind of face will there be to meet the brother below in the future? ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled faintly and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

Chen Hongyu shook his head and said, "No, it's just a matter of seeking justice." ”

Liu Chengfeng stroked the case, was silent for a while, and then said: "With your merits, wherever you put it, it should be a hundred households, but I didn't recommend it to Your Majesty, do you know why?" ”

Liu Chengfeng asked and answered himself, first sighed, and then continued: "In terms of courage, you are bigger than Lao Huo, that is, you are better than doing things, and you are not far behind the Wang Si, in the guard, your prestige is not small, and many brothers listen to you, right?" It is precisely because of this that I did not recommend you to Your Majesty, this is because I am a little selfish, this time to Beitongzhou, there must be a useful person around you, even if you recommend it now, at most it is only a hundred households, Beitongzhou, I hope you go with me, but I don't want Your Majesty to entitle you as a hundred households in Beitongzhou, because in this way, you will have to stay in Beitongzhou in the future. ”

Liu Chengfeng's words are very clear, this time to Beitongzhou, Liu Chengfeng will not stay too long, he hopes that Chen Hongyu will go with him, the identity of a general banner, more or less arbitrary, but once the hundred households are sealed, it will be a bit tricky to wait for Liu Chengfeng to return to Beijing in the future, and then transfer Chen Hongyu back to Beijing.

Chen Hongyu listened to Liu Chengfeng's explanation, and was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said, "Big ...... What do adults think? ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled and said: "But I also have a place where I can't live with you, this Beitongzhou is the Longtan Tiger's Den, I don't know if I live or die, but I have made up my mind to leave you behind, if you don't want to, I won't force you to stay, it's a big deal to enter the palace again, at least a hundred households in this inner west city can't run." ”

Chen Hongyu hurriedly shook his head, and said with a smile: "My lord, I am willing to go to Beitongzhou with my lord, so that I can live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, don't be surprised." ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "What am I strange about? Are you willing to go to Beitongzhou with me, I'm too late to be happy, since you're here, let's stay here to eat today, it's a pity that the officials and Lao Huo don't come to see you, we are the only ones who don't have you, and even talking is a little casual enough. ”

Chen Hongyu nodded as if the chicken pecked rice, and hurriedly responded.

Chen Hongyu stayed at Wen's house for dinner that day, Liu Chengfeng sent him out of the door, asked him to prepare as soon as possible, and quickly handed over everything in hand.

It was only three or four days before he went to Beitongzhou, and Liu Chengfeng didn't know whether to cry or laugh in his heart, but this was not the time for him to think too much, he must finalize the person to accompany him, and Beitongzhou also had to understand in advance, so in the remaining days, Liu Chengfeng began to get busy.

This goes to Beitongzhou.

If it is completed, it will be eaten by 10,000 households.

If you lose, there will be no bones.

This is a big gamble, the stakes are not small, but Liu Chengfeng has no choice, all he can do is try his best to do it well.
