"Why didn't you let your brother and sister come with you? I didn't know the inside story of the previous meeting, so I prepared a meeting gift for my younger brother and sister, and I thought that she would come to Beijing with you this time, so as to fulfill my duty as a senior brother. Lu Jin picked up a bowl of porridge and said loudly while eating.

Yu Qizhen took a pickled radish with chopsticks, ate the porridge, and replied, "I haven't established myself in the capital yet, so why bring her over to suffer with me." ”

Although Lu Jin helped Yu Qizhen to check whether there had been a lost child in the Nanhou Mansion and Liu Cifu's Mansion, he didn't know that the inside story was related to Yu Jiao, and believed Yu Qizhen's words, and teased, "Senior brother, are you really touching your mortal heart?" ”

He took a sip of porridge and said with a smile, "When I was young, I followed the master, you were very bland, I once thought that you would become a monk and become a monk." ”

Lu Jin is not as calm as Yu Qizhen, when he was in Fahua Temple in the past, he meditated with his master, and Yu Qizhen was able to sit cross-legged for a while, Lu Jin is different, after all, he is a young man and loves to move tightly.

When the master talks about Zen, he understands only half of it, but Yu Qizhen seems to have the root of Buddha's wisdom and comprehends it very quickly.

It's just that in the end, neither of them has ever been ordained.

After breakfast, Lu Jin didn't leave, Yu Qiyu had been in the capital for several days, and he, the senior brother, should lead him around, and invite him to Xinglou for a good meal.

It's just that Lu Jin was on duty last night, and Lu Jin was very sleepy right now, so he asked Mrs. Song to clean up the next room for him and go to make up for sleep.

Yu Qizhen went back to his room and sat on the soft collapse by the window, lowered his eyes and continued to read.

Mrs. Song and the little maid in the courtyard all knew that Yu Gongzi had come to Beijing to take the exam, and these days, in addition to meals, when he was on the side, his hands and feet were very light, and he rarely walked around the courtyard, for fear of disturbing Yu Qiyu's study.

Yu Qiyu has the habit of annotating books, and from time to time he will pick up a pen and write a line of small characters at the foot of the book, occasionally feeling it, and will splash ink on the paper to make an article.

In the blink of an eye, Yu Qiyu put down the pen to pour the tea, and with a light hand, he realized that the teapot was empty, and he summoned Mrs. Song and asked for a pot of tea.

After pondering for a while, he put the book aside, and wrote down the names of the three forces in the court of Cheng Ying, Shen Tian, and Liu Cifu on a piece of paper, and then added the Marquis of Annan's mansion and the officials he knew.

Gently delineate, and the circle is connected into several networks.

The master of ceremonies is in charge of Cheng Ying, the Son of Heaven is close to the eunuch, it can be said that he is in power in the world, and Emperor Ming Zheng can hand over the chapter to him, which shows how much he favors this eunuch.

It's just that no matter how good this person is, he is a eunuch after all, and he can stabilize his position by flattering Emperor Ming Zheng, which is different from the courtiers who can stand in the Fengtian Palace.

The relationship between the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty was more intertwined, or there were in-laws, or protégés, and they could always have a little bit to do with it, of course, in the end, they were still related to each other.

And that week, it was just the most inconspicuous whisker on the root of the old tree, which could be torn off and thrown away at will, and the taproot could not be involved in the slightest.

Yu Qiyu's eyes returned to Cheng Ying's name, although this person is a eunuch, he should not be underestimated, he can replace Emperor Ming Zheng to approve the red chapter, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he can act for the Son of Heaven.

Otherwise, why would Shoufu Shen Tian have to please him.

That Zhou Fang was attached to Shen Tian's faction, as Lu Jin said, it was Cheng Ying who persuaded the saint to clear the dredging, and if Shen Tian's faction reached out and moved the official bank, it would be regarded as a slap in the face of Cheng Ying, and it would be difficult to justify himself.

Yu Qiyu drew a heavy stroke under Cheng Ying's name, and I am afraid that the case of official silver embezzlement of ink is inseparable from this person.

Emperor Ming Zheng admired Dao Zhai Jiao, intended to use the silver of the Si River dredging to build Daoyu, Cheng Ying, as a close eunuch of the Son of Heaven, could be favored and trusted, and he was very fond of the holy will.

The Manchu Dynasty officials failed to persuade Emperor Ming Zheng, if he was Cheng Ying, he would definitely not be in this troubled water, he was just a eunuch, that is, Emperor Ming Zheng did the act of a faint monarch, that is also the failure of the Imperial History Observatory to picket the Son of Heaven, and he has nothing to do with it.

In order to favor the solid power, not only will he not persuade, but he will follow the will of Emperor Ming Zheng and relieve his worries.

Unless this celebrant is a eunuch, he has the people of the world in his heart, and he would rather risk losing his position and disgust Emperor Mingzheng, and dare to speak out.

But seeing that Cheng Ying acted in the past, in order to please Emperor Ming Zheng, he recruited Taoist priests from all over the country to send them to the palace to make alchemy for Emperor Ming Zheng, and used the treasury to personally supervise the Fengtian Zhai with the same name as the Fengtian Temple that Emperor Ming Zheng visited.

Yu Qizhen closed his eyes, if this official silver was a prison guard and self-thief, this person is really stupid and unreasonable!

Lighting the fire, Yu Qizhen ignited the paper he had just written, and watched those names burn into ashes between his fingers, and he slowly exhaled a turbid breath.

In the evening, Lu Jin woke up and beckoned Yu Qiyu to go out with him.

"Xinglou is the first of our sixty-three restaurants in Kyoto, and there is a saying that 'Xinglou is full of singing and dancing, and wine is like a knife to relieve sorrow'!"

Lu Jin swallowed his saliva as he spoke, "The signature dish is crystal hooves, the juice is like crystal, and the meat is crispy; Deep-fried and roasted bones, fragrant and crispy, charred on the outside and tender on the inside; Splitting and drying chick breasts, dry and fragrant, chewy; Roasted squid squid, melt in the mouth, the bone spurs are fragrant, the dregs are sloppy, the sagging goose gizzards are fresh and crispy, and the dregs are fragrant! ”

After that, he pulled Yu Qizhen's sleeve and urged, "Hurry up, senior brother will take you to a long experience!" ”
