Compared with meeting those people from the Ministry of Rites, seeing Luo An made Yu Chengxun even more excited.

The news of Luo An's arrival in Jiangnan seems to be blocked, but there is no impermeable wall in the affairs of the DPRK and China, and the cadres of the Xingwangfu faction after the new emperor ascended the throne were always watched by Yang Tinghe's people, and their every move was recorded and studied.

Regarding Luo An's arrival in Nanjing, it seems that he came to purge Nanjing Jinyiwei, but who knows if there is any other political purpose behind it?

This made Yu Chengxun feel that he might be able to find out something from Luo An.

I'm not good at dealing with those literati in Jiangnan officialdom, and I can't deal with a martial artist who hasn't seen much of the world, and I can't catch it?

Thereupon.

Yu Chengxun insisted that Zhu Hao take him to meet Luo An and attend a banquet held by a Hui merchant.

Hui merchant name Gongyi.

This person is very famous in the Jiangnan generation, and unlike typical officials and businessmen like Su Xigui, the Gong family has been engaged in civilian business for generations, and the background is not strong.

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the division of forces in Jiangnan is not clear, and he has some relationship with Huguang, so he was recommended by Xishu, the governor of Huguang, so that Gongyi set up such a dinner.

When Zhu Hao and Luo An arrived at the place, they found that it was a magnificent and elegant garden, and there were only two carriages parked at the door, but there were dozens of servants waiting outside alone, and there were people from the Jinyi Guard at the door to maintain order.

"This is Lord Zhu, right?" After Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun got out of the carriage, a person who looked like a brocade guard came forward to salute and ask.

Zhu Hao is mainly too conspicuous, a teenager, but he came in a luxury carriage, even if he doesn't wear official clothes, he is also extravagant, even if he doesn't know Zhu Hao, he can roughly judge from what he wears that this is the young champion of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Hao nodded: "Exactly."

The other party smiled and said, "Nai Zhu Qianhu ordered, saying that after you arrived, please go inside to rest first...... I don't know who this is? 「

"Yu Hanlin, who I was traveling with, came here to take a look. No problem, right?" Zhu Hao asked.

"Please."

The brocade guard didn't say anything more, and led the two of them inside.

..........

...........

to the garden.

I went to the West Wing Courtyard first, arranged a room to rest, and after sitting down, the fragrant tea was served, and even the maid who brought tea and water was quite beautiful, which made Yu Chengxun look at it twice.

After waiting for someone to retreat.

Yu Chengxun shook his head and sighed: "This Jiangnan officialdom is really flashy, it seems that everywhere you go, you will talk about pomp, which is not comparable to the capital."

Zhu Hao picked up the teacup and put it to his lips, but he just sniffed the fragrance of the tea, without the meaning of the entrance, and smiled: "This is probably why the rumors always say that Nanjing officialdom is suitable for the elderly."

"Who are you today?"

Yu Chengxun inquired.

came to visit, only knowing that the east was a Hui businessman, and the banquet was Luo An, the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town, and I didn't know anything about the rest.

Yu Chengxun has a bad feeling that he is about to fall into a trap, after all, his eyes are black, although he has brought people here, but in the end, this is not the territory of Yang Ting and his long-term cultivation, and the enemies are hiding in the shadows.

Zhu Hao said: "It is said that there is a director of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, and there is my uncle, as for the rest...... Maybe there's no one."

"Then why did Uncle Ling invite you over?"

Yu Chengxun was a little puzzled.

This game, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Zhu Hao, why did Zhu Wanhong call his nephew over? Don't you know that your nephew is now Yang Tinghe's person, and he wants to avoid suspicion with Luo An, who was born in the Xinhuang faction?

Zhu Hao took a sip of tea lightly, and when he put down the teacup, he smiled and said, "This is exquisite...... In fact, my uncle wants to have a good relationship with Luo Zhenfu, but he can't build a bridge, but I used to study in Xingwangfu, so I have some friendship with Luo Zhenfu."

Yu Chengxun frowned again.

This kid really doesn't shy away from suspicion at all, but think about it, too,

Everyone knows that Zhu Hao is studying in the palace, and he has never meant to hide it.

Yu Chengxun couldn't help but ask, "How many people do you know when you study in the palace?"

Zhu Hao smiled: "I know a lot of people, after all, I was born in Jinyiwei, and An Lu was the only one in Jinyiwei at that time."

"Oh."

Yu Chengxun finally understood what Zhu Hao meant.

Don't look at Zhu Wanhong now to tie up Luo An, in fact, a few years ago, when he was in Anlu, Jinyiwei was sent to Anlu as Emperor Hongzhi to monitor the existence of Xingwangfu, and with the power of Jinyiwei's Ganhu family, his influence in the local area is not small.

Luo An was just a palace pawn at that time, can he be compared with the Zhu family, which is upright and red?

At that time, Zhu Hao was born in the Zhu family of Jinyi Wei and went to the palace to study, which was equivalent to entering the palace on behalf of the court to monitor the Xingwang Mansion, even if the Xingwang Mansion hated Zhu Hao to the core, but he had to maintain a harmonious face.

"You shouldn't have come."

Yu Chengxun stood in Zhu Hao's perspective and commented.

Probably to remind Zhu Hao.

At that moment, when you appear in front of Luo An now, you are likely to bring humiliation upon yourself.

.......

.......

The feast is about to take place.

When Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun were invited to the banquet hall, Zhu Wanhong was talking to Gong Yi, a Hui merchant who was the east, and a director of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry.

Come forward and report each other's names.

I knew that the director of the Ministry of Engineering was named Huo Tao, who was a nine-year jinshi in Zhengde, but he basically didn't be an official during the Zhengde Dynasty, and now he is living in Nanjing officialdom.

As for Gong Yi......

Because he has no official body, and even his official background is not strong, Yu Chengxun naturally doesn't pay much attention to it.

A director of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry looks soft-spoken, but in fact, there is no big difference from Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun's official ranks, but Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun have the name of Hanlin on their bodies, and they look even more bluffing, so that Gong Yi was still very stammering with Huo Tao at first, and then he just showed off in front of Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun.

And the content of the display is how big his house in Jiangnan is, how many people and animals there are, and how big his business is......

Unlike Su Xigui, who made a fortune in a low-key manner, businessmen from the private sector paid more attention to pomp, especially when they wanted officials to know that they could provide some material support in exchange for political convenience.

Su Xigui didn't need to talk to anyone, after all, he didn't need to exchange any resources from others.

"Didn't you say that the envoy of the North Town Fusi Town Fu would come? Why haven't you seen anyone yet?"

Zhu Hao asked with a smile.

Huo Tao hesitated for a moment and said, "Probably...... Still on the way. 「

In fact, Huo Tao also had some doubts about why he was invited to participate in this dinner, after all, he has not been in the DPRK for a long time, and he has no strong background in the DPRK and China, and he is just a little transparent in the Nanjing officialdom, but his personality belongs to the kind of "radical type", and in the face of the disadvantages of the times, he will often express some of his own opinions.

The opinions expressed are all sharp on matters such as the cabinet and eunuchs, or whether Dongchang and Jinyiwei should be in charge of the prison.

He is only in his thirties, and he belongs to the Shaozhuang faction in the court.

What he didn't know was that he could come because of the inconspicuous young champion in front of him.

...

.....

After waiting for a long time, Luo An was late.

A few people went up to greet them.

Zhu Wanhong originally wanted to kneel down and kowtow directly, but he thought that his nephew and his nephew's colleagues were still there, and he showed this kind of appearance in front of people, which really lost his demeanor as a brocade cloth and guard, and it would also make people think that he Zhu Wanhong was spineless, or Yu Chengxun thought that he had taken refuge in Yang Ting and the party.

So he still maintained restraint and tried to kneel several times, but he held back.

"Luo Zhenfu, it's been a long time, this colleague is below, Yu Chengxun, the word Maogong, I hope to mention more." Zhu Hao smiled and introduced.

Luo An was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Yu Chengxun carefully.

The game looks like it's going to be welcome

Luo An, but in fact, Luo An has been in Jiangnan for a long time, and it is specially set up for Yu Chengxun.

Not everyone knows who the target is, at least Luo An knows exactly what it is.

Gong Yi finally saw the main master, and immediately took out the things that had been prepared a long time ago, handed a book to Luo An, and said respectfully: "Lord Luo, this is a little bit of grass people's heart, I hope you will accept it."

It's very simple to give a gift directly, just to give a book......

How much can a book be worth?

Luo An opened the book and saw that there was obviously something in it, and said with a smile, "How embarrassing is this?"

Gong Yi sighed: "The grass people learned that there is a shortage of soldiers and food in the southeast coastal defense, and they are trying to do their part, this is just talking about their hearts...... In addition, I have prepared some daily necessities, which have been prepared, so let people take them with them when Lord Luo leaves."

Gong Yi is very good at seeing it.

Luo An took the book directly into his arms and said with a smile, "I have a heart. Then Luo is here to thank you in advance."

"This is what you should do as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty." Gong Yi said with a smile.

Luo An said: "Regarding the matter of ordering his nephew to study in the country, Luo will communicate with the above, and I don't think it's a big problem. I hope he will serve the court well in the future."

As soon as these words came out, Yu Chengxun's face suddenly froze there.

Although Yu Chengxun didn't know what valuable things could be put in the pages of a book, he listened to Luo An's meaning, was he going to sell the official mantle?

Although he only recruited a student for Guozijian and belonged to the category of "routine supervisor", and the precedent of routine eunuchs has been there since the Jingtai period, which is not unusual, but what does Luo An mean when he says "he will serve the imperial court in the future"? Is this an official position booked for him? Came out of the Guozi Prison and directly appointed the official vacancy?

Ouch, I seem to have snooped on some big secret.

Yu Chengxun couldn't help but look at Zhu Hao, as if he was asking Zhu Hao for confirmation with his eyes, did you hear that? If you want to impeach this person again, you have to testify to me, and we are both parties.

It's a pity that before Yu Chengxun could make any comments, Huo Tao on the side came forward to question and asked, "Luo Zhenfu, what do you mean? Is it a blatant bribe?"

Luo An looked at Huo Tao and didn't say anything.

The eyes seem to say, where did such an unknown person come from? I was invited to a banquet, and I dared to make a big fuss here?

Gong Yi hurriedly said, "No, no, it's just a donation to the imperial court, and it's definitely not a bribe. I hope Lord Huo won't misunderstand."
