Lu Yun is dead.

The head of the imperial court, Lu Yun and Lu Butang, who were in charge of the military affairs of the five southeastern provinces, died.

It is said that when he was found, he hanged himself from a willow tree by the pond behind the official hall!

Next to his corpse, a book was placed on a stone table under a tree.

The specific content did not reach Hailing, only that Zhejiang commanded the envoy Yamen, sealed his widow overnight, and sent it to Beijing as soon as possible.

Xu Song looked at the yellowing leaves in the courtyard, and there seemed to be no ripples on his face full of wrinkles and spots.

It wasn't until Xu He came that he turned his head and smiled slightly: "It's coming!" Have a seat! ”

Xu He had already gotten the news from Chen Hua, and when he sat down, he didn't speak, but thought of what Xie Kun had said that day in the post house:

"The sea borders of the five southeastern provinces stretch out, and the Japanese are haunted, even if these 8,000 guest troops are each one as ten, they can't take care of it, right?"

"The country has frequent natural disasters, and the treasury has long been bottomed out, does the army gate want the local government to be responsible for the salary and silver of the 8,000 guest army, or will it be allocated by the imperial court?"

How did Lu Yun reply to this at that time?

Not long after the time passed, Xu He's memory was already a little vague and he couldn't remember it clearly.

By the way, it seems to say that the imperial court allocates a part of it and raises its own ......

Huh, self-raised?

The documents for raising grain were sent to all provinces, except for Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, which were subsidized with centi, only Xie Kun's friend and his teacher, Yangzhou Tongju Li Zhijie, prepared a batch of grain in this province and sent it to eastern Zhejiang.

Moreover, the situation in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces has been eroded to this point, and not a single grain of summer grain has been left in the imperial court, and all of them have been handed over without delay.

Xu He suddenly remembered that the poem he gave to Lu Yun that day wrote:

But it makes the carving murderous, and it does not hinder the white-haired old side talent.

Who is on the Le Ming Peak, so General Li dances on the sword platform.

Now, Bian Cai is dead, and there is no name on the peak.

When Li Jing was critically ill, Taizong came to the sickbed to offer condolences, but he Lu Butang only had three feet of white silk and an old corpse.

Xu He remembered the white rainbow sword that Lu Yun gave him in the study.

The words are still in my ears, and the Si people have passed away.

Xu Song looked into the distance with a vacant gaze and said: "As soon as Lu Butang dies, the thief flame will become more and more blazing, and the enemy has not yet arrived, and Zhejiang is already in chaos." If there is no general to calm down, the situation in the southeast may be out of control. ”

After finishing speaking, he said: "The minister of the ignorant soldiers of the imperial court, yesterday I received a holy decree from His Majesty, recruiting me to return to Beijing to join the cabinet and concurrently serve as the secretary of the military department. ”

Xu He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xu Song.

"When I returned to Beijing this time, I originally wanted to take you with me, He'er, you are thoughtful, and you are not confused when it comes to major events, if you can be by my side, you can help me pick up the missing ......"

Xu He didn't wait for Xu Song to finish speaking, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, then I'll go!" ”

Xu Song smiled at him and shook his head: "Later, I thought, this term may not last long, I am a person, it doesn't matter about small things, big things still have to be fought for, and it will definitely be unpleasant when the time comes, instead of taking you and delaying your township test, it is better for you to study at home, and after a while, I will come back!" ”

Xu He didn't expect Xu Song to be pessimistic.

"Okay, let's not talk about these in advance, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days, I'm in a hurry, I'm going to set off tomorrow, you have to go to Songjiang, our two are in different directions!"

Xu He was shocked when he heard this: "Uncle, who are you taking with you on this trip?" ”

Xu Song smiled: "There is indeed a lack of intimate service around me, do you have a recommendation?" ”

Xu He nodded: "Brother Peng of Uncle A's family is low-key, decisive, and calm and silent, Uncle needs to do something close to himself, Brother Peng is a good candidate!" ”

Xu Song nodded and said, "Then I'll let someone pass the word later!" ”

Xu He said again: "It's a pity that my nephew doesn't know anyone who can help my uncle with advice!" ”

Xu Song shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry about it, have you forgotten your uncle?" ”

Xu He was surprised: "Uncle Xie? You are ......"

Xu Song nodded and said, "I have this relationship with you, and I have my own way to ask him to help with advice!" ”

Xu He thought about it, Uncle Shi has been working in Lu Butang for so long, and after coming into contact with practice, he should no longer be the one who talks on paper.

Moreover, he is quite familiar with the situation in the southeast, and he happens to be a good adviser to the uncle.

The most important thing is that for some reason, the uncle doesn't like Emperor Zhizheng, and with the relationship between Xie Kun's brother-in-law, it is not too difficult to come to Emperor Zheng's side.

"Uncle accepted this position, presumably after careful consideration!" Xu He knew it in his heart.

Finally, Xu Song patted him on the shoulder and said: "Xia Yangqiu has left the Beijing Division, and it is estimated that Nan Zhili's position will be changed soon, which is good news for your career, there is exactly one year before next year's township exam, you have to go all out and give our Xu family a lifter back!" ”

Xu He nodded and said, "I will live up to my uncle's expectations." ”

Xu Song smiled and said: "There is one more thing, if you go to Songjiang this time, you may suffer some trouble, but the Shen family will not be too difficult for you, when the time comes, the patience will pass!" ”

Xu Song's ascension to the throne naturally made Shen Han's plan fail, and it is conceivable that the Shen family's attitude towards himself will change, which is not difficult to guess.

But there is an uncle here, they will definitely not go too far, and Xu He is not afraid.

…………

Early in the morning of the second day, the people of the Xu family in Phoenix Dun were busy.

A large number of cages were carried to the South Gate Wharf.

The news that the eldest man of the Xu family entered the cabinet and became a university scholar spread far and wide.

The people watched the people of the Xu family go back and forth, with envious looks in their eyes.

All the officials in the city, large and small, gathered at the docks, ready to see off the new court tycoon.

Who knew that Zhang Jingxian, Chen Hua and others stood on the dock and drank the wind for a long time, until the boat of the Xu family left the dock, and they didn't see Xu Song.

At this time, on the boat outside the West Gate, a small boat was lightly tapped.

An old man on the boat looked back at the Hailing city wall not far away.

Xu Peng came to the cabin and said, "Uncle, it's cold in autumn, you better go into the cabin and drink tea!" ”

Xu Song smiled and nodded and asked, "What about the crane?" Why didn't he come to see me off? ”

Xu Peng glanced at Xu Song cautiously and found that he had a smile on his face, so he said carefully: "Liangsheng said that he won't send it to the uncle, but he has a letter asking me to pass it on to the uncle!" ”

Xu Song said dumbly: "Oh? And the letter? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Peng handed a letter to him.

After opening it, Xu Song saw that there was only one poem in the letter, called "Cool Breeze Arrives".

The cool letter comes endlessly, and the breeze blows.

It can add to the cool of this evening, and it is very thoughtful.

The light rain will become a marquis, and when the smoke is about to move,

Su Bo is curling, and the fallen leaves are slow.

The small fireflies wear bamboo, and the swallows sweep the pond obliquely,

Tailoring is only a good test, Pu fan has been prophetic,

Pregnant with Zhedong note, the old perch asked the later period,

The Tian family should be better, and the fragrant rice flowers should be sent!

Xu Song smiled dumbly after seeing it: "The village path is dark around the mountain pine leaves, and the chaimen is near the fragrance of rice flowers!" I just went out, and the kid blamed me for going north, and at the same time hooked me home with the fragrance of rice flowers! Hahaha......"
