Shandong is not far from the capital, and Cai Longyu and Lu Bing, the commanders of the whole Shandong, are good brothers, and everyone in this mixed green forest and mixed martial arts is well known, so even if Lu Bing encounters an eyeless ringing horse or bandit on the way to Beijing, as long as he reports his name, it will be a smooth journey. There are rules on the road, Lu Bing doesn't have to pay the money, not to mention the money, and generally Xiangma will take out money and give it to Lu Bing.

Since it is the kindness of others, Lu Bing naturally does not refuse to accept them all, everyone understands that in the Shandong territory, the most bullish person is not Cai Longyu who has more than 10,000 people roaring in the mountains and forests, but Lu Bing, a giant businessman in Dengzhou Mansion, who eats all black and white, so it is a peerless opportunity given by God to have a good relationship with Lu Bing.

In addition to accepting the warm reception and delaying for a while, Lu Bing's road to Beijing was unbooked, and when he came to Shuntianfu, he felt that the law and order were much better. Lu Bing deeply felt that the effect of his rectification in Shuntianfu back then is still there, and it is really a good thing for the benefit of the people. Those officials who took up positions near Shuntianfu were also bitten by snakes for ten years and were afraid of the well rope, for fear that there would be another official who was as soft and hard as Lu Bing, and he would be beheaded for public display if he had the slightest corruption, and he would be the chicken who killed the chicken and set an example for the monkey, after all, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, everyone has it, and the nouveau riche ministers are endless.

Lu Bing stayed in the good town of Shuntianfu, waiting for the emperor's summons, and repairing any bad tiredness caused by the journey, striving to make a good impression on Zhu Houxi. Of course, there are rules for these, and when Zhu Houxi entered Beijing and ascended the throne, he also had to stay in Liangxiang, also to give the people and officials in the capital a spirited look. In fact, for Zhu Houxi and Lu Bing. The image or something is not very important. The news of Lu Bing's arrival reached the capital after only a morning's delay, and the relatives were quick and the enemies did not hate it. Why is that?

It turned out that Lu Bing had been slowly dotting up a long time ago, but the dotting at that time was not to return to officialdom, but just to let the enemy not hate himself and hurt his family, or not to cause trouble for the industry far away in Shandong.

The old friends who used to be more chatty with each other were naturally the gifts of Jinshan and Yinshan, and they were also people with old hatreds for upstarts like Zhang Xuan, Gui Cao and Guo Xun. Lu Bing even sent a letter to visit the meeting during the New Year's holidays. Last time, when Qi Jingtong returned to Beijing, he also gave a large number of gifts, although he didn't dare to say that each piece was priceless, but it was also a precious artifact. Such behavior really made these former enemies feel that Lu Bing was really afraid, and he had to be a man with his tail between his legs when he entered Beijing this time.

Indeed, Lu Bing's entry into Beijing this time was very low-key, and the news of the emperor's secret meeting with Lu Bing had also spread throughout the well-informed officialdom of the capital. Therefore, no one is looking for trouble with Lu Bing. For fear of provoking the wrath of the saint, besides, Lu Bing is also a stunned young man, and it will not look good if he is really anxious to fight and break the net.

Friends have prepared banquets and presented posts to Lu Mansion, Lu Song has been an official for many years, and he knows what can be excused and what cannot be excused, but he also helped his son Lu Bing screen it. As for those who have married Liangzi, they also turn a blind eye. doesn't care about anything anymore, and will praise a few words in public: Lu Bing is actually a good young man. And so on and so forth. Of course, the expression should naturally pretend to be unfathomable, so that subordinates can't figure out their own thoughts is a basic skill of being an official.

No one was surprised when Lu Bing was summoned by Zhu Houxi to serve in Beijing and was personally appointed by the emperor to enter Jinyiwei, after all, Jinyiwei is the emperor's eyes and hands, and it is also the most suitable destination for Lu Bing, a half-literate and half-martial person.

However, this time Lu Bing's position surprised everyone, I thought that at least it would be a thousand households, and then within a few months, I would be reinstated as an official and do something to do something, but I didn't expect Lu Bing to only do a hundred households. This is strange, Lu Bing, who used to hold such a high position, is now starting from scratch, and he has the strength to slowly get up on his own.

But in this way, no one said that Lu Bing was a courtier with Wang Longxing or a courtier favored by God, everyone knew how brilliant Lu Bing used to be, seeing the way he was now, due to human nature, they all felt that it was fair, and everyone praised Lu Bing for being a man. As a result, Lu Bing's popularity has also risen a lot.

The position of a hundred households is very worthless in the capital, not only how many new people are promoted every year, but how many are current, just the hereditary descendants of those military attaches are almost uncountable. In addition, Yang Tinghe deposed the redundant officials before, and many thousands of households who were in vain positions were reduced to hundreds, so today's capital can be described as a hundred rotten streets, and it is not a great sweetheart.

It's just that the value of 100 households and 100 households is not the same, no one will generalize and despise Lu Bing, there is a saying: If the mountain is not high, there is a fairy, and if the water is not deep, there is a dragon. Lu Bing is the mountain with immortals and the water with dragons, and the future glory can be imagined, and for a time Lu Bing became the darling of officialdom.

For Lu Bing's heart, seeing this scene is very complicated, there is no other way but to force a smile, and his heart is becoming more and more indifferent because of the more and more thorough analysis of human nature, the fire that once burned in his heart is being extinguished by reality, and the young impulse and blood are gone, replaced by a more gloomy approach and a bottomless city.

The first people Lu Bing got together were not the high-ranking officials and nobles of the DPRK and China, but the four newcomers who are now just up-and-coming, because their feelings are pure, because they still talk about brotherly righteousness, because they have not been polluted by the habits of officialdom and the heat of the world. These four people are not outsiders, they are Gong Yongqing, Ouyang Qu, Yang Weijie and Zhao Shichun, who took the imperial examination together that year.

When Lu Bing was in Shandong, he learned the news that he had known each other for a short time, but he was quite like-minded. Coincidentally, these four people actually won the first rank and the first place in the first class jinshi and the second class jinshi in the palace examination at the same time. Everyone in the capital knows that the four of them are taking the exam together in an inn, and that inn has now become a place for scholars to live together, even if they have a house in the capital, they have to go to live for a few days, so they can be happy and strive for a good reputation in their own family. Not to mention those out of town. Many people spend a lot of money to rent a room to live for three years, and when the big exam comes next year, they hope to be able to go to high school.

Not to mention how the previously down-and-out inn was renovated and renovated. Full of people is suffering from a thriving business, just talking about the four people who made this inn famous throughout the country, it is a good story. Gong Yongqing ranked first in the first class of Jinshi, that is, the champion. Yang Weijie is the second place, the eye of the list, and Ouyang Qu is the third place, which is Tanhua. As for Zhao Shichun, the Huiyuan in the examination, he was the first in the second-class jinshi, that is, the fourth in the palace examination.

It is well known that these four people eat and live together with Lu Bing. And it is no secret that Lu Bing saw Zhu Houxi before the palace examination, except for Zhao Shichun, who won the first place in the examination and became Huiyuan, the rankings of the other three are not very good. So another version was circulated. said that the high school of these four people is inseparable from Lu Bing, so they won the top four in the palace examination presided over by the emperor, and Zhao Shichun was ranked last because he was the youngest. The five of them have a new name and are known as the five young people in the capital.

said that it was Zhu Houxi's favoritism. Whether it's true or not. Even Lu Bing, who was involved, couldn't verify it. It may be that the emperor's holy will is like this, and there is no way to ask about it, otherwise it will inevitably fall into the charge of vainly speculating on the holy will. Of course, it may also be the force of officials at all levels, after all, the palace test emperor is just a formality, and there are many people in the officialdom who tend to be inflammatory, and literati are no exception. Going down one level at a time, it may eventually have such an effect. It's a bit of a butterfly effect.

Lu Bing and the four of them drank upside down, the wine was full, they sang with wine, played the sword and danced, so they were not happy.

The next day, Lu Bing returned to the gate of the Beizhen Fusi Yamen to report that the previous headquarters of Jinyiwei had gone to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to stay temporarily, and now he moved back to the Beizhen Fusi before Lu Bing's resignation. Lu Bing stood at the gate of Fusi in Beizhen, sighing, but the people who came in and out of the door looked sideways at Lu Bing, who didn't know this person, Lu Bing, the god of killing who was famous in the capital and even the whole country.

Lu Bing walked quickly into the yamen and came to Wang Zuo. The previous commander of the Jinyi Guard, Luo An, has retired, and Wang Zuo is now the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guard, that is, the legendary Ti Shuai. Lu Bing bowed deeply and said, "Lu Bing sees the commander." ”

"Excuse me, excuse me, no need to salute." Wang Zuo looked up and saw that it was Lu Bing, so he said with a smile on his face, and waved his hand to let Lu Bing sit down, Lu Bing hugged his fists again, but did not bow deeply, but bowed slightly and said, "Nephew to see uncle." Saying that, Lu Bing didn't wait for Wang Zuo to answer, and sat on the chair on one side.

"Good!" Wang Zuo looked Lu Bing up and down and said, Lu Bing's behavior was reasonable, he first made a salute to his superiors and subordinates, and only straightened up after getting his approval. Then he performed the gift of uncle and nephew, although the etiquette was a little thinner, but it was intimate, which won Wang Zuo's heart.

Wang Zuo was introduced to Jinyiwei by Lu Bing's father, Lu Song, and it was only when Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi hired people that he overcame obstacles and became the commander of Jinyiwei in just a few years. Therefore, it is very appropriate for Lu Bing to behave like this, and it can also be seen that Lu Bing has been honing a lot of time outside, and his heart has stabilized a lot, and it can be seen that Lu Bing has grown up and is more mature in life.

Looking at Lu Bing's sitting posture again, although he sat straight, he was not nervous, not because he was at a loss in front of his boss or the commander of the Jinyi Guard. His butt sat very far back, almost in front of the back of the chair, which shows that Lu Bing is very open in his heart and very upright.

Although this statement is not suitable for everyone, and it is not a hundred words, most opportunistic villains who see the wind and rudder are mostly cautious and cautious in the face of such powerful people, and they bow down to the knees. When they sat on the chair in front of Wang Zuo, they all sat on the edge of the chair, and once they had something, they could immediately stand up and report and answer, so as to show their respect for Shangguan. But this is not the case with those who are open-minded, at least not mostly.

Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, this set of tests is not applicable to Lu Bing, because Lu Bing is not an ordinary person at all, and he has been in contact with the two emperors Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houxi, as well as various bigwigs in the court. Even his father was a high-ranking power, and he himself once commanded tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which became the balance point of the struggle between the DPRK and China, and the key condition for victory.

Lu Bing's horizons are already very broad, and his appearance is different from ordinary people, but he still needs to be honed. Now that the tempering has been made, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, empty their bodies, and act chaotically.

Lu Bing has been tempered after several ups and downs, and at this time his true light is revealed, dazzling and dazzling.

Wang Zuo looked at Lu Bing, full of approval, and said secretly in his heart: I am afraid that the water in the capital will be confused by Lu Bing, the evil dragon again, I hope that you will be able to walk out of your own way when you fish into the sea and ascend to the nine heavens.
