As Lu Xiangsheng's words fell, the house immediately became silent, and several Qinglou women who were originally sitting on the side and smiling were also frightened by this oppressive atmosphere, so they sat motionless in the distance and did not dare to say anything.

Although the girls don't know Yueyang, but they are born in the Qinglou, their eyesight is first-class, tonight the momentum of these guests is stronger than the other, especially the young man who came in later, whether it is talking or doing things, it gives people a sense of oppression, and people can't help but follow his wishes.

Seeing that Yue Yang's face began to change, Yang Tinglin and the others on the side were also very uneasy in their hearts, especially Lu Xiangsheng had a faint regret in his heart, he knew very well what his proposal meant to Yue Yang.

After a long time, Yue Yang waved his hand and motioned for several women in the house to go out. After seeing Yue Yang's gesture, the women quickly stood up and trotted out as if they had been pardoned.

"Lord Lu, do you know what this condition means for Ben Hou?"

"Of course I do." Lu Xiangsheng was not frightened, but he was also a rare man with both civil and military skills in the late Ming Dynasty, "But this official knows that the whole world is not the king's land, and the coast of the land is not the king's minister, isn't Shanxi the territory of the Ming Dynasty?" You've been in Shanxi for so many years, it's time to return Shanxi to the imperial court, right? ”

"Return to the imperial court?" Yue Yang laughed strangely, "Of course you can, but Ben Hou has invested so much silver in Shanxi over the years, shouldn't the imperial court also return this silver to Ben Hou, can't Ben Hou not even be able to recover the capital?" ”

"Pay back the money?"

Lu Xiangsheng's brows suddenly furrowed, "Lord Yue, how much silver can you invest in Shanxi?" ”

"However, there are always four or five million taels of silver, how about it? Is Lord Lu planning to hand over this silver to Benhou for the imperial court? ”

"Four or five million taels!"

Everyone was stunned suddenly, such a large sum of silver means that it is equivalent to almost half a year's financial income of the current Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen's desperate savings over the years is estimated to be all his net worth, Lu Xiangsheng estimates that if he dares to say to Chongzhen to give money, it is estimated that Comrade Xiao Zhu will invade him without blinking an eye.

Lu Xiangsheng immediately slapped the case and reprimanded angrily: "Master Hou, is your words too much? Shanxi is the Ming Dynasty, and it is natural to hand it over to the imperial court, and you actually use it as a bargaining chip, could it be that you really want to be a traitor! ”

In the face of Lu Xiangsheng's angry rebuke, Yue Yang did not refute, but silently stood up and walked towards the door.

Seeing that the two sides were about to break up unhappily, Yang Tinglin was anxious and hurriedly stopped Yue Yang: "Marquis Yue, why did you leave?" It's not too late for us to sit down and talk about anything! ”

Yue Yang smiled faintly and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Lord Lu, if it weren't for the fact that you were Benhou's top boss and used to be bloody together, I wouldn't have let you eat and walk around just based on what you just said!" ”

After speaking, he pushed Yang Tinglin away and walked out by himself, leaving only four middle-aged and elderly men who looked at each other and were full of passion.

Not long after Yue Yang left, Hong Chengchou's excited voice sounded in the room: "Lu Jiandou, what do you want to do?" Isn't it possible that you have to force him to go to the opposite side of us to be happy? Do you know how much we need his help now......"

Striding out of this richly decorated mansion, Yue Yang had just arrived at the gate of the mansion and saw Chen Dazhi and dozens of personal soldiers leading horses and standing at the door waiting for him.

Taking the reins handed over by Chen Dazhi, Yue Yang beat the horse back to the house without saying a word, and along the way he thought about his own thoughts, and soon came to the horse mansion.

After entering the mansion, he went straight to the inner house in the backyard and saw Zhu Yujiao holding her son who was less than a month old and breastfeeding.

Seeing her husband come back, Zhu Yujiao didn't have the slightest intention of evading it, and asked with a smile while taking care of her own child: "Xianggong, didn't the soldiers just now report that you went to the banquet?" Why did you come back so soon? ”

Yue Yang snorted lightly and said: "I'm too lazy to leave these guys, they all want to get benefits from me, they really treat me as fat and everyone wants to pounce and take a bite, or I haven't taught them enough lessons, just magnanimously let Hong Chengchou go, Lu Xiangsheng, the elm head on the pole, wants to take advantage of me." Hehe, isn't it true that a good person can't deserve it? ”

has been a husband and wife with Yue Yang for more than a year, Zhu Yujiao also has some understanding of his temper, seeing the faint expression on his face and a flash of anger, she knows that her husband is really angry, she can't help but ask curiously: "Xianggong, what did Lu Xiangsheng tell you to make you so angry?" ”

"It's nothing, he wants to persuade me to transfer Hailou from Shanxi, and then the imperial court will never again take a governor over. Hehe, this kind of thing is also something that he can manage as a secretary of the military department, and he thinks he is the first assistant of the cabinet! Yue Yang's words were full of resentment.

"You are not the same, even the secretary of the military department dares to use two words to describe you, you have a bigger temper than my father." Since giving birth to a son for Yueyang, Zhu Yujiao's confidence has also risen, and now she dares to roll her eyes at Yueyang, but after seeing her man in distress, she thought about it and suddenly said as if she remembered something: "By the way, Xianggong, Gonggong Cao came to look for you just now, but I told him that you would probably come back very late, so he went back first, and he said that he would let you enter the palace when you came back, and my father had something to do with you." ”

"Your father has something to do with me?" Yue Yang was a little depressed, is it okay for my brother to come back from the dispersal of the dynasty, let me enter the palace without even drinking saliva, you are really welcome.

Seeing that Yue Yang's face was unhappy, Zhu Yujiao also knew that her man was actually a very lazy person in his bones, and he was called by his father before he had time to rest when he came back from the court, and he was definitely not very happy in his heart. But she couldn't help it, so she could only look at her husband with apologetic eyes to show her apology.

In the end, Yue Yang still entered the palace, but this time he did not enter the palace for a long time, and he came back in less than an hour, and as soon as he came back, he said directly to Zhu Yujiao, "Yu Jiao, I finally know why Lu Xiangsheng's courage is so fat, it turns out that he wants to use me as his springboard!" ”

"Xianggong, what the hell is going on?" For Yue Yang's words, Zhu Yujiao was confused.

Yue Yang looked at Zhu Yujiao, who was holding his son and looking at him in confusion, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I really let my mouth say it, the emperor actually wants Lu Xiang to be promoted to the pavilion!" ”

It turned out that as soon as Yue Yang entered the palace, Chongzhen opened the door and told him that because Chen Yan was driven back to his hometown to eat himself, the number of people in the cabinet is only three now. Just because these three people want to help Chongzhen deal with those heavy official duties and exhaust Zhou Tingru and them to death, I am afraid that Chongzhen intends to add a few more cabinet scholars, and this time Chongzhen is not as stingy as before, but wants to add three people in one breath, and one of these three people is Lu Xiangsheng's, and then Yue Yang understands why Lu Xiangsheng is so impatient to find himself, and he wants to have a new official to take office three fires.

"Xianggong, who are the remaining two people?" Zhu Yujiao asked curiously.

Yue Yang sighed lightly: "There are two people left, one is Hong Chengchou, and the other is you and me!" ”

"Xianggong, you can actually enter the cabinet, this is a great thing!" Zhu Yujiao on the side was so excited that she blushed, she grew up in the palace since she was a child, but she knows too well how glorious it is to be a cabinet minister, since Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister, in order to liberate himself from heavy government affairs, Zhu Di set up a cabinet. With the passage of time, the authority of the cabinet has also increased, and by the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the authority of the cabinet has become a force that can compete with the imperial power, and entering the cabinet is also a lifelong goal for a civil servant. Now Yue Yang is valued by his father and entered the cabinet, regardless of whether there are other factors in it, but it is enough to prove the excellence of his own man.

Seeing Zhu Yujiao's excited appearance, Yue Yang couldn't help but smile: "What's so happy about this, even if your father-in-law doesn't enter the cabinet, he is still the loyal and brave marquis of the dynasty, who dares to underestimate us." ”

"That's different, is it the highest achievement of a man?" Zhu Yujiao pursed her mouth.

"You're such a lovely girl." Yue Yang smiled and reached out to scrape her little mouth.

"People have already given birth to babies for Xianggong, and you still treat people as children." Zhu Yujiao patted his hand dissatisfiedly, and deliberately stood up for her twin peaks, which had become a lot plump because she was a child.

Hearing this, Yue Yang looked at her pretty face with a hint of childishness and the child in her arms, and an indescribable strangeness surged in her heart, in the future generations, a girl like her is in the mood for love, or the age of the first year of high school, but now she is already a mother to take on the responsibility of raising offspring, thinking of this, Yue Yang's eyes can't help but show a trace of guilt, love and pity

His expression was naturally seen by Zhu Yujiao, although she didn't know why her father-in-law showed such a look, but Zhu Yujiao still felt a warmth welling up in her heart, smiled sweetly at him, and snuggled her head into her husband's arms, her eyes were full of tenderness, and at this moment nothing in her heart could compare to her husband's love.

Yue Yang stroked Zhu Yujiao's hair, but he was thinking about today's things in his heart, it seems that Lu Xiangsheng's proposal today was his own, and it was not supported by Yang Tinglin, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and others, it seems that his reaction today is a bit excessive, and he should ask clearly.

"Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou, you came here today, didn't you apologize to me because you were afraid that I would mess up your entry into the cabinet? But although I promised to let you go, it won't be so easy to get my support in the future! ”r1152
