In the past few days, because the war in Liaodong is about to start, the atmosphere of the entire Beijing city has gradually become warmer.

This time, no one was pessimistic and worried, no one had any intention of taking refuge in the south, and no one was reprimanded to the country, saying that the war would consume the people's money.

Almost all the people, all the officials and scholars in Beijing are gearing up, wanting to see the first war of annihilation in the entire Ming Dynasty since Taizu and Chengzu for nearly 200 years.

That was the Houjin that raged in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty for nearly 30 years.

The Jurchen Eight Banners that made the 400,000 elites of the Ming Dynasty mourn.

That's the invincible Houjin Iron Horse.

Even, when the news of the start of the war in Liaodong came out of the palace, the next day, some people began to open gambling games in Beijing, of course, not to bet on whether Daming could win the war, but to bet on how long this war would last, and some people bet on whether Xiong Tingbi could be directly promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet by virtue of this war.

There are many rumors about the chaos in the Houjin court, and the streets and alleys of the capital are now being discussed.

Chaoyangmen Street, the teahouse at will, is overcrowded from morning to night, and everyone is here to exchange their 'information', whether they are drinking tea and listening to music, or chatting about the mountains.

"I heard that, as soon as the Houjin and the other council kings heard that my Ming Dynasty was about to go on a northern expedition, they immediately made a mess, Nayi Prince Daishan and Ying Prince Azig met each other directly on the main hall, at that time, the entire council of the council was bloody, and the bloody breath directly ran through the entire hall, looking from afar, the sky of the entire Shenyang City was bloody, and the city was full of Houjin cavalry who killed each other these days, regardless of old and young, women and children, men and women, young and old, the dead died, the fleeing, there were almost no living people!"

"Tsk, that tragic scene, the piles of corpses, blocked the entire Hunhe River, the corpses everywhere, the tigers in the mountains can't eat and walk, and there are countless flies and mice, the whole Shenyang City, the smell is stinking, and the blood is pressing!"

"I heard that Liaodong is already sharpening his sword, and he has already led his army to Shenyang City a few days ago!"

Someone with good deeds is spitting about the rumors he heard from nowhere, enjoying the adoring gaze of the crowd while drinking the free tea from the teahouse.

At this moment, a young man in a brocade robe on the side shouted loudly and broke the man: "You are letting your mother's fart go!" You said that we don't know the rest, forget it, you said that he Xiong Tingbi led the troops to the battle? Without the will of the imperial court, without the signing of the Military Department, and without the approval of the Duke of Langguo, he Xiong Tingbi dared to move a single soldier in Liaodong? ”

was interrupted like this, and the original person's face was a little unbearable, but it seemed that he was a little pretentious, and he didn't dare to offend directly, so he just asked: "Dare to ask, who are you?" ”

Hearing someone ask about his name, the brocade-robed man raised his chin and looked extremely arrogant: "My father is on an errand in the military department!" ”

As soon as these words came out, they caused the surrounding people to shout again and again.

The military department?

That's the hottest yamen in the imperial court recently!

Being able to work as an errand in the military department, which is closest to the military department, is equivalent to taking the thoroughfare express train and going straight up!

"This person's father is the director of the Survey Department of the Ministry of War, and I heard that Lu Yu, the extravagant household servant, is a friend for many years......"

Hiss!

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding officials exclaimed again and again: Talking to Lu Yu may not be very special in the eyes of many people, but you must know that Lu Yu can be regarded as Wang Qi's hardcore confidant, if you can know Lu Yu, it is equivalent to knowing Lang Guogong!

At this time, the man on the opposite side also knew that he had met the real Yanei, and immediately bowed to the man in the brocade robe with great humility: The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please forgive me!

"Those who don't know are not guilty, I read that you are ignorant, let you go this time, but when you go out in the future, some people's names can't be mentioned casually!" The man in the brocade robe looked very generous, waving his hand, obviously not caring about the man in general.

"The little one understands, the little one is just fast-talking, and he doesn't mean anything else!"

After a while, the small episode in the teahouse passed quickly, and with the arrival of the brocade-robed man, the atmosphere was obviously going in a more enthusiastic direction.

At this time, it was still on Chaoyangmen Street, a simple and simple car slowly drove into the city, the sedan chair was front and back, left and right, all were servants and attachés, and a little farther away, it was also a fully armed private soldier.

On weekdays, even the prince of the domain would not dare to show off so blatantly on the street in his own domain, otherwise, the impeachment excerpts of the imperial historians of the government would immediately fill the emperor's desk.

But today is a little different.

Not to mention that the commander of the Yamen of the capital is here, he doesn't dare to stop this car.

Even if Shuntianfu Yin arrived, he had to close his eyes and give way.

Black gilt, eight-horse carved car, sedan chair on the Langguo Mansion, given by the emperor and licensed by the Son of Heaven.

Such a luxurious eight-horse road and cavalry escort naturally aroused the onlookers of many people on Chaoyangmen Street, and it was indispensable for everyone in the teahouse to talk about it.

"Who is sitting in the sedan chair?"

"On the Langguo Mansion."

"It looks like he's coming back from out of town."

In the teahouse on the second floor, everyone looked at the sedan chair that was gradually moving away, and they all fell into deep thought, some people wanted to speak, but when they saw the faces of everyone around them, they all closed their mouths.

The matter of heaven is better to chew less tongue roots.

It can't be a woman, right?

Lang Guo Gong Mansion.

"My lord, Madame has already entered the city, and she will be at the gate of the mansion in about a quarter of an hour," Wang Shouxin stood at the door of the study, reporting to Wang Qi.

"Got it" In the room, there was the sound of Wang Qi placing a book.

After a while, there was a creak and the door opened.

"Come with me to greet you," Wang Qi walked out of the study, dressed in a civilian robe, and walked towards the door of the mansion.

"Yes, sir!" Wang Shouxin nodded, and followed behind Wang Qi.

"Hmm" Walking to the corridor, Wang Qi still paused, stretched out his hand and nodded: "Gather everyone in the mansion and go to greet it!" ”

In any case, Hai Lanzhu is his woman, and no one in the house can look down on her.

"Yes!"

The door of the Langguo Mansion has not been opened for anyone other than Wang Qi for a long time.

In addition to the will of the palace, even if Ye Xianggao came to the door, he entered from the side door.

When the eight horses gasped lightly and stopped at the door of the mansion with their manes shaking, in the sedan chair, Hai Lanzhu, who had been full of expectations, was extremely nervous at the moment.

"Qingluo, I'm a little scared," Hai Lanzhu clenched her maid's little hand tightly, and her originally charming face was now full of weakness and cringe.

"What if it's a grandfather under one person?" Qingluo puffed out her little face and cheered for her princess: "Isn't he responsible?" ”

As soon as Qingluo's words fell, a clear shout came from outside the sedan chair: "The Langguo Mansion welcomes Mrs. back to the house!" ”
