Less than an hour after the end of the early dynasty, the entire Beijing division knew that the former cabinet scholar Chen Yan was finished, and he was dismissed by the emperor from all official positions and rushed back to his hometown to eat himself.
The hundred officials who went out of the palace gate did not disperse immediately, but gathered at the palace gate and surrounded a pile of whispers, when Yue Yang came out, many people looked at him with a trace of fear, after all, for them, a person who can pull the elder down is worth fearing.
Yue Yang walked out of the palace gate and was about to get on the horse, when a voice sounded next to him: "Marquis Yue, please stay!" ”
When he looked back, it was Lu Xiangsheng who walked towards him.
Lu Xiangsheng strode up to him and said softly: "Marquis Yue, I don't know if I have leisure, can I have a few drinks with this official?" ”
"Drinking?"
Yue Yang gave him a strange look, since he came to the capital, whether it was openly or secretly, his former boss and today's colleague had never spoken to him, as if the two had never known each other, and the friendship that had fought side by side in the past seemed to have disappeared without a trace. This made Yue Yang feel a little depressed and a little helpless, it seems that this loyal minister in the history books also has an unknown side, why did he take the initiative to invite himself to drink today, this is strange.

Seeing the puzzled gaze in Yue Yang's eyes, Lu Xiangsheng's old face also blushed slightly, but he still asked again: "Can Master Hou appreciate the light?" ”
"Absolutely!" Yue Yang quickly came back to his senses, smiled slightly, and agreed without much thought, he turned his head to Chen Dazhi behind him and ordered, "Send someone back to tell the princess that I won't go to dinner at noon." ”
After speaking, Yue Yang said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Lord Lu, let's go." ”
"Please ......"
Lu Xiangsheng made a gesture of invitation, and the two of them got on their horses and headed outside.
Soon, the two came to an alley in Dashilar outside the front door, and looked at the words Shaanxi Lane written at the mouth of the alley, and Yue Yang couldn't help but sigh. Turned his head and glanced at Lu Xiangsheng, meaning that your dignified military secretary actually brought me to this kind of place to talk about business?
Lu Xiangsheng's old face turned red, and he pretended not to see it and rode his horse first, Yue Yang looked back at Chen Dazhi behind him and was about to speak, Chen Dazhi took the lead in speaking: "Master Hou, I know what you want to say, but several housewives have already had strict orders, and when Master Hou goes out, he must follow wherever he goes, otherwise they will take off his humble head." ”
"You're such an elm head!" Yue Yang had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and rode his horse into the alley inside.
Shaanxi Lane is a place that ordinary people may not understand. But when it comes to the eight alleys in the capital, many people may understand, and Shaanxi Lane is the first of the eight alleys. Of course, the most famous time of the Eight Hutongs was in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the heyday of the Eight Hutongs were densely packed with hundreds of the most high-end brothels in the capital, although the current Shaanxi Lane was not as prosperous as it was at that time, but it also had a faint shadow of later generations.
When Yue Yang rode into Shaanxi Lane, he had already seen dozens of brothels in Qinglou along the way, and many women in Qinglou who were dressed up in fancy clothes were sitting or standing upstairs.
Lu Xiangsheng took Yue Yang to a mansion with an elegant environment and stopped. Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's arrival, the two servants standing in front of the door hurriedly ran down the steps and grabbed Lu Xiangsheng and Yue Yang's reins respectively, and a small servant smiled and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Lord Lu, several adults are already waiting inside anxiously." Get on in. ”
"yes, got it!" Lu Xiangsheng nodded lightly, turned around and dismounted, and then said to the two: "You lead the horse down so that you can feed it with concentrate." ”
"Yes. The villain understands! "But anyone who can be a small servant in the Qinglou is a person with raised eyebrows, and those who understand Lu Xiangsheng's identity naturally know that the person who can stand side by side with Lu Xiangsheng is definitely not an ordinary person, and the two nodded while leading the horse into the corner on the side.
Yue Yang followed Lu Xiang into the mansion. When he pushed open the door of the courtyard, Yue Yang saw several middle-aged people in civilian clothes sitting together, drinking tea and chatting, and there were several young and beautiful women accompanying them.
It's just that Yue Yang was stunned when he saw these people in the courtyard, he knew these people, not only knew but was also quite familiar. The one sitting on the left was Yang Tinglin, who was the head of the household at the time, and the two next to him turned out to be Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting.
Yue Yang's brows immediately began to wrinkle, and he stopped and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiangsheng grabbed his sleeve, and Yang Tinglin also stood up and said sincerely to Yue Yang.
"Marquis Yue, Jian Dou and I didn't tell you in advance that we were wrong about this matter today, but if we didn't use this method, you wouldn't have come over, as the old saying goes, it's better to settle a grievance than to settle it, Jian Dou and I both think that it's time to understand the grievances between you and Yanyan."
Although Lu Xiangsheng on the side did not speak, the look in his eyes was the same as Yang Tinglin.
Yue Yang swept Yang Tinglin and Lu Xiangsheng's faces, he didn't have a seizure on the spot, now he is not the little group practice he was at the beginning, if he really does this, there is no benefit except being ridiculed, he just said lightly.
"Give me a reason to forgive him!"
Seeing that Yue Yang didn't have a seizure on the spot, Yang Tinglin and Lu Xiangsheng, who were originally drumming in their hearts, secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, as long as they didn't have a seizure on the spot. The current Yueyang is not as good as it was at the beginning, and now he can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, and if he really wants to turn his face with an iron heart, they have no way.
Yang Tinglin immediately gave Hong Chengchou a look, seeing Yang Tinglin's expression, Hong Chengchou stood up, took two steps forward, bowed deeply to Yue Yang, and said in a deep voice: "Marquis Yue, I did the wrong thing a few years ago, and now I am making amends to you in front of Jiandou, Boxiang and Boya, and I hope that you will expose this matter in large quantities, and from now on, you and I will work together with the palace as ministers for the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty." ”
Hong Chengchou's words were very sincere, as a traditional literati, Hong Chengchou's posture can be said to have been very low. Yue Yang looked at him as if he was going to be beaten and punished at will, and then looked at Lu Xiangsheng and the three people who were staring at him on the side, he knew that if he rejected Hong Chengchou's apology today, then it would mean that he had four more enemies in the court.
After pondering for a while, Yue Yang said indifferently: "Lord Hong is polite, so long has passed since that incident, and Ben Hou has forgotten a little, but it is really not very authentic for Lord Hong to do that at the beginning, but since Lord Hong has said so sincerely, Ben Hou will no longer say anything, let him pass the past." ”
Listening to Yue Yang's words, Hong Chengchou's heart that had been hanging finally hit the ground, I don't know when the man in front of him who was less than thirty years old had become a big mountain pressing on his head, and he was out of breath all the time, this feeling of suffocation could simply drive people crazy. Well, now that the bastard is finally willing to turn the page on this, that's good!
Hong Chengchou deserved to be a master in the late Ming Dynasty, he quickly calmed down after being excited, he glanced at Yue Yang deeply, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation. And Yue Yang could also see clearly, the direction his hand was pointing in the direction of the seat facing the door, which was commonly known as the main seat.
Chinese people pay attention to decency and order when eating, and who is particular about what position, if you sit wrong, the consequences will be very serious.
Seeing the position that Hong Chengchou was referring to, Yue Yang did not refuse, but strode forward unceremoniously and sat down, no one has any objection to this, after all, whether it is a title or an official position, Yue Yang is a well-deserved NO1 among several people.
After Yue Yang sat down, several people also sat down again. Yang Tinglin took the lead in raising his glass and said to Yue Yang: "Marquis Yue, this generation of officials respects you, you can let go of Yanyan's grudges, this is enough to prove your open-mindedness, I will do this cup first." ”
Yue Yan raised his wine glass and took a sip, smashing his mouth before saying, "Lord Yang, don't put a high hat on Ben Hou first, the reason why Ben Hou agreed to uncover this beam is not because he is afraid of a few of you, nor is he afraid of the posture you put on today." To tell the truth, even the Manchu Tartar Benhou has been destroyed, I'm afraid that you few people will not succeed! ”
Yue Yang's words were very unkind, and they seemed very harsh to the ears, but no one objected. Because Yue Yang is telling the truth, the truth has always been the most hurtful and the most difficult to refute.
Lu Xiangsheng put down his wine glass and said: "Marquis Yue, you are the official who has come from a group training step by step to this point, and now you are already a supreme minister above 10,000 people, and now the Liukou has been leveled and the slave has been destroyed, it is the time for us to show our skills to serve the country, do you say yes?" ”
Hearing this, Yue Yang knew that today's words were coming, and he put down his wine glass and smiled slightly: "Oh...... Lord Lu seems to have something to say, what is there but it doesn't hurt for you to say it! What does it mean to show your skills to serve the country, can you be more careful? ”
Lu Xiangsheng's temperament was the straightest among the people, and he stared at Yue Yang's eyes and said with a solemn expression: "For example...... This year's year is the five-year Beijing Chacha, should the position of the governor of Shanxi also be changed? ”
"Hmmm......"
As soon as Yue Yang heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened, shooting towards Lu Xiangsheng like a ray of essence...... (To be continued......)
