Standing in front of Guo Xun's Wuding Marquis Mansion, Lu Bing didn't feel a little depressed in his chest, he was really bullied by dogs in Pingyang. Originally, he went to which house, whether it was a duke or a loyal minister, as soon as the porter heard that he was Lu Bing, regardless of whether Lu Bing's official position at that time was the general banner or the deputy thousand households or the thousand households, those porters were eager to spread the ducks and ran to the house, and hurriedly reported, and the other people smiled like rotten chrysanthemums to welcome Lu Bing, a nobleman.

Now the position has reached the point of serving, and the official position is higher than before, but when he says his name, those porters are ignorant of it, and slowly go to the courtyard to Tongbing, as for watching the tea, then I don't think about it, and some of the porters blame Lu Bing for why he didn't send someone to say it first. The concierge is still like this, not to mention the owner of that house, Lu Bing can also see it, knowing that such things are human nature.

However, it is still rare to be as arrogant as the descendants of the Hou family of Wuding, looking at people with their noses, and speaking to scold Huai with insinuations. Lu Bingqiang endured the anger in his heart, but he had already scolded in his heart: Damn, do you know why you go to see the gate, it is because the dog looks down on people, the dog looks at the gate, Lao Tzu is just losing power for a while, you are like this, and when Lao Tzu regains his strength, he will not scare you to death.

Of course, Lu Bing is not really angry with these people, but who is on this matter, in the face of the sudden change in treatment, it is not very comfortable in his heart.

In fact, according to the rules, Lu Bing should first send someone to Tongbing to ask the owner of the house whether the time for his master to visit is appropriate, so as to prevent people from having trouble or not being at the house. When the other party's master answers, he will lead the other party's subordinates to invite his own master and invite him to the meeting. It's a lot of trouble, though. But it is indeed the way to visit, so formal, in order to prevent someone from coming uninvited, both sides are uncomfortable, and it is inconvenient to embarrass each other.

And often come to visit directly, either the upper official to the lower official, for example, the emperor goes to whose house is the most confidant, of course, this also involves a security issue, but the same is true for the ministers of the DPRK and China. Another situation is that the two families are familiar with each other. Intimacy, no need to be through, even if it is through, it is more to ask if it is not there.

The third is that the level is not enough. For example, when a small official meets the imperial court official, it is estimated that he was driven away by the porter before he entered the door, which is why some people always say that the origin of the seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door is not only that they have some power. It is this kind of lofty attitude that has earned this "reputation".

Lu Bing is not without subordinates. It's not that the level is not enough, it's not that it's familiar with Guo Xun, and it's not that it's higher than Guo Xun, but once it is said that it is Jinyi Wei Da Nei's internal affairs and Da Nei's criminal punishment, when Prosecutor Lu Bing asks to see him, people often avoid it. This situation began when Lu Bing entered Beijing with Zhu Houxi and had an official position at the beginning, but at that time, Lu Bing represented the emperor, and others did not dare to provoke him. This is a polite greeting, but in fact, there is still some resistance in my heart.

It's not that Lu Bing is bad. Lu Bing is modest, never arrogant in the court, no matter how powerful he is, he will never bully others, the reason why hundreds of officials are now resisting Lu Bing is not only because he is now down, but there are three fundamental reasons.

First, in the eyes of Wenchen, Lu Bing is just a vulgar martial artist, but in the eyes of martial artists, Lu Bing is close to civil officials, so Siliu does not rely on nondescript. The civil and military camps can't tolerate him, but Jinyiwei, who does not belong to the system, is more suitable for Lu Bing's development, and Lu Bing's father, Lu Song's connections, are also mostly in Jinyiwei, but Jinyiwei is an intelligence agency, and his grasp of the holy will is very accurate. Now having a close relationship with Lu Bing is not helping Lu Bing, but harming Lu Bing, which will make the saint think that Lu Bing is accumulating strength and forming a gang to form a private party.

Second, in the eyes of officials like Guo Xun who relied on the blessing of their ancestors, Lu Bing was just a grass people, and he was not as good as them. It is true that Lu Bing's grandfather Lu Qi is just a brocade guard general banner, and if Lu Song hadn't gone to Anlu Prefecture, he would have become a guard of honor in Xingwangfu. Later, with Wang Longxing, Zhu Houxi became the emperor, and Lu Bing had what he is today.

If only relying on his father's shadow, Lu Bing will at most wait for Lu Song's death, and inherit the position of a general banner, before Yang Tinghe dismissed redundant officials, and reduced the hereditary idle position of Jinyiwei, if Zhu Houxi did not become the emperor, maybe at this time Lu Bing would not even have the position of the hereditary general flag, at best, he would be the family of Yixing Palace. The ancestors of the people are the founding fathers, or the three princes and three young, and Lu Bing is just the son of a low-level military attaché, and there is a class difference between the two parties, so it is strange that they can mix together.

Third, in most officials, although they all saw Lu Bing's merits and deeds and efforts, Lu Bing still did not have much status, because everything he did was given by the emperor's favor, not by himself and slowly boiled out, just like now, without the emperor's protection, then there is no power at all.

You think people have worked hard for most of their lives to make a fuss, Lu Bing has been a servant since he was in his twenties, and anyone will be unbalanced, the faster Lu Bing's official position is promoted, the more hatred he has, and now Lu Bing has lost his power, those officials who are jealous or look down on Lu Bing, although they will not be able to beat gongs and drums, but they will also secretly drink a cup at home and smile proudly. Different ways do not conspire with each other, and everyone has different ways to be promoted, so naturally they will not be able to go together.

Of course, there is an additional reason that Lu Bing has been engaged in anti-corruption work many times, and has killed many corrupt officials in both the north and the south, thus offending many of these officials' shelters in the capital. Now that Lu Bing has lost the emperor's favor, he has completely become the target of public criticism, who is willing to deal with such Lu Bing?

Not only did he hate Lu Bing's reluctance to ignore him, but even he had a good relationship with Lu Bing on weekdays, but because of the fact that Lu Bing's enemies were now increasing exponentially, he avoided Lu Bing.

Based on the above reasons, Lu Bing must visit suddenly, although it is a little unruly, but to some extent it can also avoid other countermeasures such as avoiding others, in short, Lu Bing made up his mind that he would not leave without waiting for Guo Xun today.

Even if Lu Bing made such a determination, he never expected that he would wait outside the door for a full hour, and on this hot day, Lu Bing was already soaked and concentrated on his back. Lu Bing's heart was sour. Hey, that's what it means to ask someone to do something.

Just as he was thinking, an entourage from the Marquis of Wuding Mansion walked out of the house. glanced at Lu Bingdao: "Why haven't you left yet, I thought you had left a long time ago, okay, the master woke up, I reported just now, and now the Hou Ye announces you in." ”

Awake? It turned out that Ren Lu Bing was waiting outside the door, and Guo Xun was sleeping soundly in the house. Lu Bing's face felt red, and his fists couldn't help but clench. As the Marquis of Wuding, Guo Xun was under the protection of his ancestor Guo Ying, and now he is in charge of the forbidden army. Naturally, he was also rampant, and Guo Xun helped Zhang Xuan and others to fight for the emperor's name, and stood on the side of Emperor Zhu Houxi in various ceremonial battles without hesitation. It can be regarded as a meritorious service. Naturally, Guo Xun has been particularly favored by today's saints. Therefore, Guo Xun became more and more inflated, which is why he was so arrogant and rude to Lu Bing.

If you want someone to do something, you must be able to pull your face down, Lu Bing knows this very well, but at this moment, he has to keep silently thinking in his heart to restrain his little temper. Fortunately, Lu Bing didn't get angry and followed the little guy in.

Guo Xun was lying on a bamboo chair in the courtyard, holding fruit with an open chest, and many scantily clad women beside him were fanning Guo Xun on the side. Lu Bing saw those maids and thought: Who said that the ancient times were conservative. Guo Xun is like this, and he does not dare to be in the capital compound in broad daylight. Such a blatant toying with a woman.

Lu Bing walked up to Guo Xun and clasped his fists and said, "See Wuding Hou for your humble position." ”

"Oh, isn't this Lord Lu, look and sit." Guo Xun said, a maidservant girl brought a chair and put it on the ground, Guo Xun stretched out his hand and said, "Please." ”

Lu Bing looked at it, and saw that the stool was like a bed in the army, very short, if he sat on it, even if he was tall, he would be a head shorter than Guo Xun, as if he was squatting in front of Guo Xun. Lu Bing didn't hesitate, sat down, Guo Xun snorted proudly, and then smiled: "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, why did Lord Lu come this time?" ”

"Lu is" Lu Bing stood up again with his fists clenched, standing there solemnly, before he finished speaking, Guo Xun interrupted Lu Bing's words and said, "What, Lord Lu, have you eaten?" ”

Lu Bing hurriedly said: "Thank you Wuding Hou for your concern, the lower officials have used it." ”

"Oh, oh, you go on."

"What did Xia Guan do this time?"

"Lord Lu, it's so hot, isn't it uncomfortable for you to wear so thick, if you can't take it off, you can see that your heart is collapsed. And" Guo Xun interrupted Lu Bing's words again and said: "Who is that, you don't have long eyes, don't you see Lord Lu sitting here, quickly bring chilled fruits, and bring a bowl of chilled sour plum soup to Lord Lu to relieve the heat, what a fucking bastard, you can't see such a big living person here." ”

"Thank you very much, the Marquis of Wuding is not busy, the humble position is not too hot, I came here today to ask for something" Lu Bing still didn't finish this time, Guo Xun said: "Lord Lu, please speak, they are all officials in the same dynasty, and they are all figures in the army, why do you ask for it, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Although they are both martial artists, after all, they are mixed officialdom, so they should be more particular about what they say, and they can't just say their requirements directly like at home, which is too abrupt. Guo Xun naturally knew that this was the case, so he waited to interrupt Lu Bing repeatedly and four times, which was really deliberate, not hospitable.

"Dare to ask Jiang Ran to call on the Marquis of Wuding's mansion?" Lu Bing said: "If you are here, I hope that Lord Guo will hand over the person to him, and ask him about private matters in the next place, I don't know if Wuding Hou can sell face and agree to be humble." ”

"Jiang Bin's youngest son, Jiang Ran?" Guo Xun asked with a flat face.

Lu Bing nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

"In my house," Guo Xun said, "However, Lord Lu is afraid that he will not be able to take it away, Jiang Bin Mou Dynasty usurped the throne and did many evils, the court sentenced him to Xing, and all the men in the family were beheaded, and the female dependents were sent to the families of various meritorious heroes as slaves and maids, and his young son Jiang Ran was sent to my family, not only Jiang Ran but also Jiang Bin's concubine and daughter are also owned by me." By the way, at that time, Lord Lu was on a southern tour, and later encountered some unpleasant things and was injured, so he didn't visit that scene. Guo Xun said that the scene was very disgusting.

Lu Bing said secretly in his heart, this Guo Xun didn't seem to find out that it was the fake Jiang Bin who was executed, Yang Tinghe did things really skillfully, and he was clever at stealing beams and changing pillars to hide from the sky and the sea. Lu Bing replied: "Then the lower officials don't understand, since this is the case, the imperial court has already given people to the Marquis of Wuding as slaves, so why can't the Marquis of Wuding fulfill his humble position and let the lower officials take Jiang Ran away?" Please Wuding Hou make it convenient, I will always remember it in my life, if it is useful to Lu in the future, it is incumbent on Lu to go to the soup. ”

"Look at what you said, Wenfu, you look young, why did the court kill these family members as slaves, in order to torture the family of this thief, this is not only a benefit to the descendants of the heroes, but also to warn others not to rebel." Guo Xun said: "So Wenfu, you better go back, this is the court, and it is also the good intentions of the saint." I don't know what you are looking for Jiang Ran for, but don't make a big mistake because of a small mistake, for the sake of a descendant of a thief, you will be blinded by the holy will, and after provoking Long Yan's anger, I am afraid that you will not even be able to do it. This is not unreasonable, I also said it as my own. ”

Lu Bing nodded and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Marquis Wuding for mentioning it, but according to Marquis Wuding's wishes, Xia Guan only needs to get the consent of the Holy Lord to take Jiang Ran away, right?" ”

Guo Xun replied yes, Lu Bing hugged his fists here and said: "Then the next official will go back first, and he will not disturb the rest of Wudinghou, thank Wudinghou for hospitality." ”

Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding, didn't get up to see him off, but just called someone to see off the guests, Lu Bing hadn't walked to the gate of the courtyard, but only heard Guo Xun say to the scantily clad woman next to him: "Beat sex, and find the holy decree, who should he be, or the powerful person before, hum, if it weren't for me, he wouldn't even be able to see me, and he would still see the emperor." This stupid boy is here to ask for your brother, do you know who entrusted Lu Dao? ”

Lu Bing didn't hear an answer, but heard a crisp sound of slapping meat, and then Guo Xun's scolding: "Lao Tzu beat you to death, shamelessly, just like that guy, saying to find the consent of the saint, to see that he is just an outdated courtier." If you use the emperor to press me, I will kill you. ”

Lu Bing stood at the gate and stopped, his fist squeezed and crackled, knowing that the woman just now must be Jiang Bin's daughter, Guo Xun was a little too much, and he humiliated himself like this. When he was in a rage, the entourage of the Marquis of Wuding Mansion behind him pushed Lu Bing and urged, "Hurry up." ”

Lu Bing didn't look back, and left the Marquis of Wuding Mansion quickly. (To be continued......)
