"Childe, just when you went to the street, someone from the mansion of the new right attendant of the household department came to pay a visit, and people were waiting in the front hall."

Wang Qi returned to the mansion from Chang'an Street, and the housekeeper Lao Tao came to report.

Turning over and dismounting, handing the reins to the doorman, Wang Qi walked towards the mansion and asked Lao Tao: "Is it Lu Yu's mansion?" ”

On this way back to Beijing from Liaodong, Wang Tiqian had already informed Wang Qi of everything that happened in the hall that day.

Whether it is Liu Yijing, Lu Yu, or Zhu Youxiao's reactions, processes, and results, they are all described in detail.

It is also so that after Wang Qi arrives in Beijing, he can quickly discern the situation, so that he will not not be passive without arguing with the enemy and me.

"It is Lu Yu, five days ago, who was just transferred from the Tongzheng Yamen to the right attendant of the household department," Lao Tao has been in the capital for a long time, and he is also clear about the personnel transfers of the major yamen, and the joints are even more aware of it, and he glanced at his own adult: "It is to drag your blessing to the adult, with a one-handed book, from a light yamen, to the real power fat poor, the people in the capital say that Lord Lu is a fake household department, a real yellow door." ”

Yellow door, waiting in front of the palace, full-time delivery of documents.

"Heh," Wang Qi chuckled: "It has nothing to do with me, Lord Lu can make twists and turns in the court, and directly change the fainting hall of Liu Yijing, the second assistant of the cabinet, to someone else, but he doesn't have such courage and determination." ”

Wang Qi said, then walked to the front hall, just took two steps, stopped again, and instructed Lao Tao: "There may be Ye Xianggao to come to meet in a while, if someone comes, let him go to the East Pavilion to wait." ”

Listening to Wang Qi's words, Lao Tao's face turned pale, and his voice trembled a little, what did his son-in-law do when he went to the street? Even Ye Xianggao, the head of the cabinet of the current dynasty, came to visit in person?

But the old housekeeper who had grown old still bowed his head and responded: "Don't worry, son, I have written it down." ”

The front hall of the government office.

Lu Xiangsheng had been sitting in the hall and waiting for half an hour, and the pot of tea had been replenished five times.

However, this young official, who had just obtained the rank of junior sergeant and the deputy director of the Military Department's Military Election and Qing Officials Division, did not have the slightest impatience on his face, let alone any anxiety.

Lu Xiangsheng has always seen it very clearly, and his uncle Lu Yu sent him over today.

The first is to let himself take the opportunity to make friends with Wang Qi, and the second is to want to be able to seize the opportunity to catch the express train of the military operation in Liaodong, and not to waste his qualifications in the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

For the common people and the people at the bottom, war has always been a bloody hell, but for the upper class, war is an important shortcut to fill the gap in the class and climb upward.

With his hands and ten fingers handed over and caged in his sleeves, Lu Xiangsheng slowly calculated the time without hurry, and also polished the manuscript over and over again in his heart: The news from Liaodong is very important, about Wang Huazhen, and about Wang Qi So this meeting, if you deal with it properly and put forward appropriate and targeted suggestions and opinions in a timely manner, you can also leave a good impression in front of Wang Qi.

After a while, when Lu Xiangsheng was thinking, a voice came from outside the door: Greetings to your lordship!!

Wang Qi is back!

Soon, Wang Qi stepped into the front yard step by step, and Lu Xiangsheng had already seen that he was a hero of Liaodong who he admired and regarded as an idol.

"Junior, Lu Xiangsheng, meet your lord!" Lu Xiang was born as a jinshi and was three years older than Wang Qi, but he bowed deeply to Wang Qi with a very low profile.

On this side, as soon as Wang Qi entered the door, he saw Lu Xiangsheng bowing down.

"Lu Xiangsheng?" Wang Qi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations to Jiandou, high school jinshi!" ”

Lu Yu's nephew, Lu Xiangsheng, a new science and technology jinshi.

Wang Tiqian mentioned it to Wang Qi that day, after all, a nephew of a Jinshi is still worth introducing a sentence or two in the Ming Dynasty.

Correspondingly, the name of Lu Xiangsheng in later generations, Wang Qi still has some impressions.

"I was born as a Jinshi, and I don't dare to praise in front of adults," Lu Xiangsheng didn't get up, but continued to bow down and bowed: "There are two hundred and thirty-five Jinshi in this department, compared to the achievements of the adults in Liaodong, like fireflies competing with the bright moon!" ”

"You Lu Jiandou said this, I can't take it seriously," Wang Qi laughed, stretched out his hand to help Lu Xiangsheng up, and pointed not far behind him: "Sit down." ”

"If you let outsiders know," Wang Qi himself walked to the upper hall and sat down, with a smile on his face: "I have to say that the civil and military are both light and civil, which is very unfavorable to the court situation." ”

"Your Excellency is too modest," Lu Xiangsheng sat on his chair, also observing this person with a great reputation: "Uncle originally said that he came to visit the lord himself, but in the past few days, the household department is handing over the grain that has arrived in the southeast, and there are many affairs, so I can't leave, so I asked me to visit him on my behalf." ”

As he spoke, Lu Xiangsheng took out the greeting note from his sleeve and respectfully stepped forward to hand it over.

At this time, the maid outside the hall had already served pastries, fruits, and tea, and slowly retreated again.

"Lord Lu, it turns out that Lord Yu Xiong is a fellow scholar," Wang Qi looked at the post and sighed: "I didn't go back to Guangning City that day, but went back to Beijing directly, otherwise I could still have a chat with Lord Xiong, and I couldn't bring a word to Lord Lu." ”

"Uncle sent me today, and there is Lord Xiong's entrustment" Lu Xiangsheng did not beat around the bush, but went straight to the point.

"Straight to the point," Wang Qi stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Lu Yu did not say anything specific on the post, but asked his nephew to relay it directly.

After all, the stakes are big, so it's better not to leave a new brushstroke.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Wang Qi, and his voice was slightly lower: "After being investigated by Lu Enguang, the commander of Liaodong Jinyiwei, Wang Huazhen, is now the political yamen of Shandong, and Mao Wenlong, the general who rebelled and surrendered to Jianzhou, has a new correspondence, which is related to the profit sharing of more than 100,000 silver every year. ”

Listening to Lu Xiangsheng's words, Wang Qi put away his smile, squinted his eyes, and looked at the future stars of the Ming Dynasty who were far from growing up not far away.

The gaze, with a little scrutiny and a little suspicion.

Uncle Wang Huazhen and Mao Wenlong's correspondence?

Can this basin be detained casually?

Who dares to say this in front of Wang Qi, just slap him and give him a meal first!

"My lord may believe in my uncle, but this matter," Lu Xiangsheng paused: "Jinyiwei has already sent a secret letter to the Inner Palace, and at the same time, Donglin's side may have received the news and has to prepare in advance." ”

"When?" Wang Qi only paused for a moment, and then continued to ask.

"Five days ago, it was very sudden, and the news was intercepted by Jinyiwei on Houjin's side," Lu Xiangsheng said and frowned, adding: "This matter. It's not like Houjin's style, but it seems to have deliberately leaked news to us. ”

"Heh," Wang Qi leaned back against the Huanghuali wide chair, with a touch of coldness on his face: "If you want to say that my uncle is greedy for money, if the hat of an adulterous slave is buttoned up, then this life will be eaten to death!" Not only the uncle himself, but all the military attachés who used to be under the rule of the governor of Liaodong will be in danger for everyone! ”

"Donglin's counterattack is fierce, but there are many forces that adults can unite," Lu Xiangsheng said at the right time.

"I don't need to unite anyone," Wang Qi turned his head to look at Lu Xiangsheng, with a touch of arrogance: "The military exploits I have made, the head of Jiannu that I cut off, are not placed on the Daming temple for people to point fingers at in vain!" In the court, no one can detain the hat of this fornication slave to his uncle. ”

In Wang Qi's heart, his uncle Wang Huazhen is already the only relative in the world, even if he is greedy for money, there will be judicial punishment, and he will return several times the excess, lose his official position, and punish the crime, Wang Qi can bear it.

But fornication and slavery?

I'm sorry, there's no way that happened!
