Three days later, the eunuch Wang Gonggong finally sent someone to deliver a message, and the matter of his position had been settled, and Lu Qi was asked to go to Dongchang to meet him.

Zhu Houzhao had to announce that Wei Cheng would go to the East Palace every day, and when he came back in the evening, he always brought a carriage of rewards, such as silk and satin, antique porcelain, and Lu Qi's house was piled up everywhere.

This house is indeed too small, and if there is one more person to live in, Lu Qi can only lay on the floor in the study.

Emperor Hengzhi rewarded a lot of silver, and Lu Qi simply bought the house next door, and the courtyard wall was opened up to become two entrances in the front and back, with a mini garden.

Now, everyone has their own rooms, Chen Yin'er is not idle, planting vegetables and flowers in the garden, and exercising, and she is very busy.

After getting the message early in the morning, Lu Qi dressed neatly and went out, Cen Qun had already hired a carriage and sent Lu Qi all the way to the East Investigation Factory.

This place is not far from the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, Lu Qi reported his name, and entered the door under the guidance of a Dongchang fanzi.

The layout of the east factory is similar to that of the Fusi of the North Town, the entrance is a dark black brick shadow wall, there is a plaque hanging in front of the main hall, and the tablet of the previous factory governors is provided behind the hall, and then to the east along the rain corridor, there is a small flower hall guarded by two fans.

Entering the flower hall, facing the door is a portrait of Yue Fei, with a bookcase in the curtain on the left side, and an old eunuch sitting in it.

The fan who led the way, Shi Li, said: "Father-in-law Fan, Lu Yan has been brought." ”

"Go ahead."

It turns out that this old eunuch is Fan Ting Fanchang, who is now the commander of Dongchang, but isn't it Wang Yue and Wang Gonggong who called Lu Qi over today?

As soon as he sat down, he heard a sound of footsteps, and a thin old eunuch who was about sixty or seventy years old and paced in with a fan: "I heard that Lu Yun and Lu Yan are here?" ”

Fan Ting pointed at the old eunuch: "This is the prince who came to you." ”

Lu Qi was about to salute, Wang Yue waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite!" Lu Yishi has been famous recently, and our family has long wanted to meet you. ”

Saying that, he looked at Lu Qi twice, nodded and said, "Well, a talent, a man who forgets the vulgar, the rumors are indeed true." ”

So far, Lu Qi has dealt with many eunuchs, including Miao Kui, the imperial horse eunuch close to Emperor Hongzhi, Fan Ting, the governor of Dongchang, Liu Jin, the eunuch of the head of the East Palace, and Ma Yongcheng, the eunuch of the East Palace......

But the thin old eunuch in front of him is the eunuch who is really at the head of the group of eunuchs, and the eunuch who holds the power of "approving red" is the eunuch who holds the seal of the seal, and the holy decrees issued by Emperor Hongzhi before are all stamped by him.

Lu Qili said: "The prince has won the award. ”

"Because the celebrant is in charge of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, the day before yesterday, the Long Live Lord handed over your transfer to our family." Wang Yue fanned the wind:

"It's a difficult thing to arrange a position for you, it's too high, I'm afraid that the generals won't agree, and if it's low, I'm afraid that Banzai won't agree.

Lu Qi had already inquired about the establishment of the Shenji Battalion, and the nominal highest commander in the battalion was called the battalion officer, who was served by the nobles of Jingzhong, but in fact he didn't care about anything.

Below the battalion officer are two adjutant generals, respectively in charge of the central army, the left and right sentry and the left and right posts, and there are two staff generals at one post, and there are three capital divisions and two deputy capital divisions and other minor officers under the staff generals.

Lu Qi calculated that it was equivalent to her holding the position of the small manager of the right post department in the branch of the Shenji Battalion.

After all, Lu Qi is not from the military, this position is indeed very suitable, and there is a reference of the same level around him.

Lu Qi got up: "Thank you, princess!" ”

Wang Yue babbled a lot and said a lot, and summed it up in one sentence: "Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, you must be liver and brain to repay Jun's kindness." ”

It was almost noon that Wang Yue stopped talking, and Lu Qi took the eunuch who announced the decree, Cen Qun and his ten brocade guards, and went straight to Nanyuan.

The three battalions of the Beijing Division were stationed in four cities, and the Shenji Battalion was stationed in Nanyuan.

As soon as Lu Qi and his group arrived at the gate, they saw that there were many generals standing inside and outside the door, and the two generals in the lead were full of armor and riding high-headed horses, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Except for the eunuch who announced the decree, Lu Qi and the others hurriedly stopped the car and dismounted to stand still.

Seeing the two generals dismount with one leg, they stepped forward and saluted: "Jiang Cheng and Xun Zhao, the deputy generals of the Shenji Battalion, led the battalion generals to respectfully invite Sheng'an!" ”

"St. Bow."

The eunuch bowed to the air with both hands, and then dismounted.

The incense case and other things have already been placed in the gate, and the eunuch holds the holy decree to the front of the case, and with the order of the two deputy generals, the internal and external generals jointly give a salute, such as pushing the gold mountain and pouring the jade pillar to worship the future, and the sound of armor colliding is endless.

After reading it, the two deputy generals called for obedience, Jiang Cheng respectfully took the decree and put it on the shelf, took off the seal of the general on the incense case, and walked to Lu Qi.

Lu Qi saluted and said: "Humble Lu Yun, I have seen Deputy General Jiang. ”

"Good!"

Looking closely, Vice General Jiang's pocket was full of beads of sweat, and he was about to enter an ambush after the Dragon Boat Festival, and he was neatly draped in the middle of the day, and he stood under the sun for a long time, and it must be very hot.

After taking over the general's seal, Lu Qi officially became a member of the Shenji Battalion.

Vice General Xun beckoned, and a general came out of the general team, looking at the armor system, he was on the same level as Lu Qi.

"General Lu, this is General Zhao Yongqi, who is the same right post commander as you."

"General Zhao!" Lu Qi stepped forward and saluted.

General Zhao was seven feet tall, with a square face and a fat face, looking quite honest, and returned with a grin:

"Zhao has long heard that Lu Shen will fight against the Japanese invaders, and he has also developed a new type of firearm with the craftsmen of my Shenji battalion, what a hero is a young man!"

"Counselor Zhao praised falsely, and Lu didn't dare to be ashamed."

After the two parties saluted, Lu Qi followed Zhao Yongqi to the right sentry camp, she had to change her armor, and then go to the school field to meet the soldiers under her command.

The armor is cumbersome to wear, if there is no one around to help, Lu Qi alone really can't wear it, so he can only order a few brocade guards under Cen Qun to help.

Fortunately, Lu Qi had already taken precautions and tied her chest with cloth, plus she was tall and broad-shouldered, and she could hold it up even if she wore armor, otherwise she would have been exposed now.

……

On the school field over there, the soldiers in line had been waiting under the scorching sun for an hour, and everyone was sweating.

A middle-aged general more than nine feet tall carried a knife and walked to the front, Zhao Yongqi glanced at him and said softly:

"Hong Dusi, this newly appointed General Lu is your direct general, you are not waiting in the queue, what are you doing by my side?"

Hong Dusi sneered softly: "It's just a little scholar, why do you pay so much attention? Look at those thin arms and legs, I don't believe that the Japanese were repelled by him!

It was probably because he was lucky that he picked up some credit, and was boasted about by idlers, but it was just a vain name. ”

"If you think about these words in your heart, why do you bother to say them?" Zhao Yongqi waved his hand.

Hong Dusi came closer: "General, I don't want to say these things for anything else, it's just that it's not worth it for you!" You are a battlefield veteran, a little boy born in the literati, why are you on an equal footing?

Didn't he rely on the big names in Beijing to support him? You can put up with him, but you can't bear it! There have always been three fires for new officials, if we don't press him, he will have to press us! ”

Zhao Yongqi's eyes narrowed dangerously: "What are you going to do?" ”

Hong Dusi smiled and beckoned to the subordinates behind: "You don't have to bother with it. ”

Then his men brought in a horse, and his golden-red hair was as hot as a cloud of fire, probably hot from the sun, and he was snorting restlessly.

"This is called the Cloud Fire Qilin, the wildest horse in the left sentry camp, except for the humble position, never willing to be ridden by others.

A while ago, a boy in the stable tried to ride secretly, and was thrown off and broke his leg. Hong Dusi patted the horse's neck and said proudly.

"Hiss......" Zhao Yongqi took half a step back: "Lao Hong!" ”

"Lao Zhao, I didn't ask him to ride! Besides, isn't he a general? If you can't even ride a horse, what kind of general is it?

Even if these words reach His Majesty's ears, they will not be wrong. Hondusi stiffened his neck.

General Zhao didn't say anything more.

Wearing heavy armor, Lu Qi walked out of the tent with great difficulty.

Seeing that the soldiers were holding guns and halberds, lined up neatly, waiting for her to review, a soldier led a divine horse and a BMW over, and Zhao Yongqi had already turned over and got on the horse: "General Lu, please parade with me." ”

Lu Qi thought that he was standing on a high platform and letting the team of soldiers walk in front of him, if he walked around the school yard wearing armor, he would definitely be tired.

Lu Qi walked towards the cloud-riding unicorn.

Lifting the hem of the skirt, he barely lifted his feet in metal slings and leather boots, hooked them to the stirrups, and grabbed the ends of the saddle with both hands, pulling them up as hard as he could.

Didn't go up.

"You pedal with your feet, not just with your hands." Cen Qun reminded softly in the back.

Lu Qi shaved his hands and feet, and he couldn't go up. I heard the cloud fire unicorn snorting a few times and shaking its head impatiently.

In fact, this armor is similar to the chain mail of the border army, plus the sword around the waist, a total weight of fifty catties, and Lu Qi himself weighs less than a hundred catties.

Wearing an iron suit that weighed half of his body, Lu Qi was already very muscular when he could still walk.

A few brocade guards looked at each other, the first time to inspect the soldiers, but if they can't even get on the horse, how big of a person will our servants lose?

Cen Qun shouted "one, two", and several fans hugged Lu Qi's legs together, making a gesture to lift up.

Lu Qi was so shocked that he hurriedly stopped them: "What are you doing?" When I'm a waste? Go and go, get a box to put your feet on! ”
