kicked Zhang Ergou two heels in a row, but this guy didn't spit when he was killed, Wang Jinfa smiled and came up to persuade, "Adults don't have to ask Brother Ergou, it's not a bad thing anyway, Lord Lu has to go to Yingmao, and adults can use this as an excuse to get out early!" ”

Wang Jinfa has been working the rivers and lakes for many years, and thinking about things and dealing with people is far from being comparable to Zhang Ergou, a straightforward man.

Zhu Ping'an let Zhang Ergou go, and the group rode their horses and whips straight to the governor's yamen.

Outside the door, Lu Zhenfei's confidant and old housekeeper Lu An were here to greet him, and Zhu Ping'an was introduced straight to Lu Zhenfei's study.

Lu Zhenfei's family members are all in the capital, and they rest in the backyard of the governor's yamen on weekdays, and Lu An takes a few family members from the capital mansion to serve them, and they live a simple and unusual life. There was only one brazier left in the study room, which was still a little cold.

Lu Zhenfei was dressed in a home cotton robe, sitting opposite Wang Pin, who was dressed in brocade clothes and jade belts, and at first glance looked like a beautiful son in a high gate, holding a bronze pot in his hand. When Zhu Ping'an entered the door, the two were concentrating on the game.

Zhu Ping'an crept in, took the kettle from Lu An's hand, helped the two refill the tea, and stood aside.

After a short period of effort, Lu Zhenfei threw himself in the towel, and it seemed that there was no victory today. But Lu Zhenfei couldn't see a trace of unhappiness on his face, and when he looked back at Zhu Ping'an, he felt a sense of relief.

"Okay, this official still has some official business to deal with, so let's play a few games with the prince on behalf of the old man!"

Wang Pin smiled, his white face was like a spring breeze, "Since Lord Lu still has official business, then please go and get busy, fortunately, there is still a safe and virtuous brother to accompany him, Wang is going to kill a lot!" ”

Lu Zhenfei bowed his hand apologetically to Wang Pin, got up and took advantage of Wang Pin's tea, glanced at the opposite wall with the corner of his eye, and then squeezed his eyes at Zhu Ping'an, and then Shi Shiran walked out of the study.

Zhu Ping'an straightened his clothes and sat opposite Wang Pin, but his eyes were cast to the place where Lu Zhenfei had just signaled. On the white wall hangs a thick ink landscape, which Lu Zhenfei has nothing to do, and on one side of the painting is two lines of official scripts full of wind and bones, which is also Lu Zhenfei's favorite poem: "The east wind knows that I want to go to the mountains, and blows off the sound of rain between the eaves." ”

This time Zhu Ping'an was confused. This work was made by Lu Zhenfei when he first arrived in Fengyang, and the poem is a sentence from Su Shi's "New City Road". I remember that when I first saw this work, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but analyze Lu Zhenfei's state of mind at that time.

Judging from Lu Zhenfei's words and what happened during this time, Emperor Chongzhen planned to use Lu Zhenfei to rectify the two Huai and ensure the smooth flow of Cao Yun. Lu Zhenfei once made a comeback, Jane was in the heart of the emperor, and he was burdened with heavy responsibilities, and he also had a place to use, and this poem and this scene can be said to complement each other and be appropriate.

But today, he signaled to himself why this landscape and poetry came, and Zhu Ping'an wanted to break his head, and it was difficult to figure it out for a while.

Wang Pin's chess skills are superb, this is what Zhu Ping'an has already learned, his own bottle of dissatisfied, half a bottle of swaying chess skills is really out of his hand, plus there is something in his heart, in less than an hour, he has been beaten down three cities.

"Wang Gonggong's chess skills are excellent, and peace is really admired!"

Wang Pin smiled, he could see Zhu Ping'an's chess skills clearly, it was indeed a novice level, and it was too different from himself. The reason why Wang Pin often visits Lu Zhenfei is that he wants to get closer to the pair of masters and apprentices and make friends, so that they can be used by themselves. The benefactor behind him had already come to write a letter, and he was really happy that he was reinstated, and vaguely asked him to endure in Fengyang for a while, so as to return to the palace at the right time.

This made Wang Pin inexplicably grateful. Two years have passed, but the benefactor has never forgotten himself, which is the most gratifying and nostalgic thing for Wang Pin.

For this reason, Wang Pin ignored Wang Chengen's earnest entrustment when he came, and was anxious to do something for his benefactor. Although the benefactor is young, his mind is like an adult, and he has said many times that there are very few people available around him, so Wang Pin started the idea of Lu Zhenfei and Zhu Ping'an's master and apprentice.

Wang Pin seemed to be cleaning up the chessboard casually, but said slowly: "Chess is a small way, just for recreation, and there is really no need to worry about winning or losing." It is commendable that the younger brother of Ping An was able to create this family business alone at a young age. ”

Zhu Ping'an smiled and poured a full teacup for Wang Pin again, "The prince is too high to see peace." Along the way, fortunately by the teacher, Lord Duan and other care care, Ping An also heard that the prince is from the palace study, even in the capital is also famous, can accompany the father-in-law to play chess, that is the blessing of peace, this period of time, Ping An has benefited a lot! ”

Wang Pin smiled with satisfaction, his eyes glanced at the withered yellow branches outside the window, "Yes, I studied hard in the inner study hall for four years, and then stayed in Zhongcui Palace for eight years, but the ups and downs during this period are not enough for outsiders." It is only in front of Brother Ping An that I can spit out my bitterness. This person, in fact, the most important thing is to choose a correct path, not only to be accompanied by close friends, but also to have noble people to shelter from the wind and rain, this road can go smoothly, right? Brother Ping'an! ”

Wang Pin's words were understated, but in Zhu Ping'an's heart, it was tantamount to igniting a thunderbolt. There are too many things contained in Wang Pin's words, and his origin and the intention of soliciting Zhu Ping'an are undoubtedly revealed.

"Zhong Cui Palace!" This name already shows who the character behind Wang Pin is. The name of this palace appeared in a large number of literary works in later generations, and it appeared as the living place of the queen mother and the concubine.

But in the Ming Dynasty, it was very different. During the Longqing period, Zhongcui Palace officially became the residence of the prince of a country, that is, the prince, and then continued to be used until the fall of the Ming Dynasty. In other words, Wang Pin has already identified himself, he is a person from the East Palace.

Zhu Ping'an didn't know how Wang Pin was eyeing him, maybe he was too eye-catching for a while, maybe Wang Pin wanted to pull himself on the prince's boat, in short, Lu Zhenfei definitely received similar hints. No wonder as soon as Wang Pin came to the door recently, Lu Zhenfei summoned himself to play chess with him, and he did it for a long time to avoid Wang Pin's persuasion.

This old fox, he didn't want to do it, but he put himself in front, thinking about Lu Zhenfei's strange expression when he was leaving, Zhu Ping'an suddenly became angry.

This old guy, if he wants to stay out of the matter, he doesn't want to think about it, he is his student, once he gets on the prince's ship, he, the teacher, can't get out of it, besides, he believes in his own determination so much, as long as anyone hears the call of the prince, this can immediately make people dizzy from the attraction of dragon gong, and he is busy stepping forward to take refuge, Lu Zhenfei is not afraid that he can't stand the temptation?

However, will Zhu Ping'an go to hold the prince's stinky feet? Of course not, there are only six years left before the end of the Ming Dynasty, what did the crown prince Zhu Cihong do in these six years, even the history is unknown, the last prince of the Ming Dynasty only showed a small face after Li Zicheng conquered Beijing, and then was brutally killed by the Manchus.

From the eleventh year of Chongzhen to the seventeenth year, Zhu Ping'an didn't know what role Zhu Cihong played in it, but now it seems that he can control characters like Wang Pin, even if he is not very old, it is definitely a not simple role!

"Haha, my father-in-law's words are really reasonable, enough to think about and comprehend it for a while!"

As soon as he figured out these things, Zhu Ping'an immediately decided to smear oil on the soles of his feet and slip away, seeing that it was almost noon, and the time agreed with Wang Jinfa should be about the same.

Sure enough, there was a sound outside the door, Wang Jinfa picked up the curtain and walked in, first gave a big gift to Wang Pin and Zhu Ping'an, and then put on an anxious look, "My lord, go back and take a look, it seems that there is indeed something, the old lady of the Zhang family has sent someone to ask three times!" ”

Zhu Ping'an was secretly funny, Wang Jinfa really didn't accept it in vain, and when he encountered such a thing, he didn't know how many times better than Zhang Ergou's gang of soldiers did it.

Zhu Ping'an hurriedly changed his surprised and inexplicable expression, "Really?" My aunt is urging me like this, I guess something big must have happened, I'll go! ”

After speaking, he apologized and bowed his hand to Wang Pin, "The prince is really sorry, you see ......!" ”

Wang Pin was very surprised, "This aunt is an elder in the Ping'an Virtuous Brother's Mansion?" ”

"Not really!" Only then did Zhu Ping'an talk about his friendship with the Zhang family, especially the old lady of the Zhang family who helped Zhu Ping'an in many ways when he first arrived in Fengyang.

"I see!" A thick smile appeared on Wang Pin's face, "Brother Xian is now a military attache of the fourth grade, but it is rare to not forget the old kindness, which is really commendable!" ”

"Then I will take a leave of absence from my father-in-law, and I can't let my father-in-law enjoy it today, it's really safe. Another day, I will hold a table of banquets and invite my father-in-law to a banquet alone! ”

"Wait!" Wang Pin grabbed Zhu Ping'an, "It's freezing this day, Lord Lu is still busy with official business, and I have nothing to do, so why don't I go to the Grange with my virtuous brother and disturb a meal?" ”

"Huh?" Zhu Ping'an opened his mouth wide at that time,

"Don't worry, Brother Xian, I'm just going to relax, and I will never delay Brother Xian to do things! How, isn't it welcome? Wang Pin looked at Zhu Ping'an with a smile.

"Where, where!" Zhu Ping'an complained again and again, but Wang Pinguan was one level older, how could he refuse. And it is like this, how can Zhu Ping'an refuse people thousands of miles away!

Wang Pin only brought two servants, straightened out the horses, said hello to Lu An, and galloped with Zhu Ping'an towards the grange outside the city.
