19th year of Deqing, February 14.

Pingxi General Lu Cheng'an canonized the general of Ganshan and Shaanxi, commanded the military affairs of Ganxi and Shaanxi, and ranked first.

As soon as this decree came out, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked.

Ganshan is the northwest gateway of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if Lu Chengan has a different heart, he can go straight to Beijing from the land of Ganshan.

Voices of opposition arose, and some ministers even forced each other to die, begging Emperor Deqing to take back his fate.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty must not!" The ministers bowed heavily, and there was only a dull sound from the forehead touching the ground above the court.

Emperor Deqing looked at the courtiers in front of him and said in a deep voice: "You love Qing Ping. ”

The ministers fell to their knees and remained silent.

"Get up, get up!" Emperor Deqing stood up and said in a stern tone.

"Since I dare to hand over the land of Ganshan to him Lu Chengan, I can trust him! After he Lu Chengan became an official in the court, how many obstacles did he help me remove and how many chaos did he remove? ! It's much better than those courtiers who chatter all day but don't have any political achievements! ”

"Since I have been commanded by heaven, I have the responsibility to put the courtiers who are useful to the court and the people where they belong!"

"Ministers deserve death!" When the ministers saw that Emperor Deqing was furious, they all kowtowed.

Emperor Deqing sat down again, and looked at the ministers below with an unpredictable expression: "Lu Qing has already set off for Suzhou early this morning, and I have made up my mind, so there is no need for the secretaries to quarrel about this matter, if there is nothing to do, they will all retreat." ”

The ministers looked at each other and got up to take their leave.

"Cheng'en Gong, Cheng En Gong, you are the most face-saving in front of the emperor, you go and persuade it." The gray-bearded politician stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Engong's sleeve.

Cheng Engong thought of what the queen said to him, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and said with a wry smile on his face: "Lord Participating in Politics, Your Majesty's will has been made, and I will obey the order, Your Majesty has been the king for so many years, don't you even have this little bit of proportion?" ”

"But what if General Nalu ......"

"If there is that case, will I not have a counter-rebel in front of me? The politicians are too worried. ”

Lu Cheng'an, who had already left Shangjing, didn't know that all the ministers in the court were worried about their own affairs, for fear that they would return to Shangjing after they were full-fledged.

He didn't know that Pingxi Hou beat his chest at home and was annoyed that he didn't have a good relationship with this younger brother, you know, commanding a party's military affairs, this is a real power, compared to the guard commander of the Son of Heaven's close ministers, this position is not only not a demotion, but a real promotion.

The old lady of Pingxi Hou was bedridden for several months to recuperate, and then gradually improved.

"Madam, we are about to arrive in Jinyang, the general said, we have been on the road for several days, and we will have a good rest in Jinyang tonight." Lu Jiu opened the curtain and said a few words to Lu Shi outside, then turned around and said.

Qin Ranran took her hand out from under Ahri's belly, lifted the curtain and looked out, nodded and said, "It's okay, ordinary people can't stand it if they are in a hurry for days." ”

The red sleeves and Poria next to him were already tired on their faces, and they smiled gratefully when they heard this.

The car drove into the Taiyuan City Gate, and from the gap in the curtain, Qin Ranran rushed to a sense of simplicity.

"It deserves to be a thousand-year-old city." Qin Ranran couldn't help but admire, "It's very different from Shangjing." ”

"After all, Shangjing is a country, and the decoration should be luxurious, after all, there are local officials from time to time, and there are also surrounding subject countries to worship, if it loses its style, it is a joke." Lu Jiu explained on the side.

"The ancient capital of Jinyang is the heritage accumulated by the previous dynasties, and it doesn't have to be seen by outsiders, so it gives people a different feeling."

Qin Ranran nodded thoughtfully, and calculated carefully in her heart.

When I went to Suzhou this time, I must have interacted with other female dependents, and I couldn't figure out what posture I should be after thinking about it for a few days.

And Lu Jiu compared Shangjing with Taiyuan, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.

"Ah Jiu, what about Suzhou, what does Suzhou look like?"

"Suzhou, there are mixed fish and dragons, there are residents of all countries and ethnic groups, when the army was stationed in Suzhou, there were still people who picked quarrels and provoked trouble, not to mention that now the army has returned to the barracks. On weekdays, there are many cases of fighting on the street when they don't agree with each other. Although Suzhou is also a place that has been inherited for hundreds of years, it is missing a little bit after all...... Cultural heritage. Lu Jiu thought for a moment and said.

Qin Ranran's fingers unconsciously rubbed on Ahri's body, and she suddenly had a plan in her heart.

"Madame, here we are." Lu Shi's voice sounded outside.

Qin Ranran came back to her senses, hugged Ahri and got up, and walked out of the carriage with the support of Lu Jiu, who was the first to get out of the car.

The wind blowing in her face was very dry and cold, and there didn't seem to be much moisture in the wind, Qin Ran couldn't help touching her face, and said with a smile: "I always feel that this face doesn't have to go to Suzhou, it should be dry." ”

Lu Chengan strode over and took her hand into a courtyard: "I'll ask someone to buy the best balsam here with you in a while." ”

Qin Ranran smiled and nodded: "Add a nourishing soup to dinner." ”

The two entered the courtyard together, settled down in the main house, red sleeves and Poria soaked the tongue brought from Shangjing, and then heard Lu Yi report: "General, madam, just now at the gate of the courtyard, we saw a shrunken little guy looking this way, but as soon as he saw us looking over, he ran away, because he didn't know whether he was friend or foe, so he didn't act rashly. ”

Lu Chengan put down the teacup and said disapprovingly: "Just keep an eye on it, but just rest here for one night." ”

After Lu Yi retreated, Lu Chengan saw what Qin Ranran had written on the paper.

He leaned over and looked at it, and when he saw that they were all names, he asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"You find someone to help me buy all these medicinal herbs, and I will make some pills in the car tomorrow, which will be useful when the time comes." Qin Ranran finished writing the last few words with a pen, folded the paper, and said.

Lu Chengan smiled and arched his hand: "Yes, madam." ”

"Girl, I can see clearly, it is indeed a man with a woman, and the woman also holds an orange fat cat in her arms, listening to the accent, it is right that she is from Shangjing." Seeing that the other party was not chasing him, he hurried back to an inn on the corner of the street and said to a woman who lived in the upper room.

The woman was dressed in tulle, and she was a beauty from only a pair of eyes.

She said in a flat voice: "Go down, Ying'er, reward him with two taels of silver." ”

The little guy hurriedly thanked him and happily withdrew.

As soon as the door was closed, a teacup was thrown to the ground, and the woman, with a hideous face, walked up and down the room several times, and finally grabbed the magpie carved on the bed in anger.

"Slut!"
