After Song Yun left dejectedly, Lu Shen returned to his study and fell into a long contemplation.

No matter how true Song Yun's words are, at least one thing can be proven, that is, the Son of Heaven summoned twelve border generals into Beijing this time to inject a stream of fresh water into the pedantic and turbid court through this group of new forces.

Song Yun thought that Lu Shen was naïve and ignorant, perhaps this was also the subconscious idea of many people in Beijing, after all, in their opinion, most of the generals of the border army were simple-minded characters with developed limbs. Even though he is good at military affairs, he is still an absolute layman for people's hearts.

But he didn't know that Lu Shen had many elders who saw through the world, and he himself was not a rough person with a single intestine to the end.

From today's conversation, it can be seen that the Son of Heaven has high hopes for this group of young border generals, but the courtiers below are not very willing to give in.

As the so-called straightforward advice is a loyal minister, if the minister wants to leave a name in history, how can he be called a real clear stream if he does not oppose the decision of the Son of Heaven.

Whatever Your Majesty wants to do, we will oppose, and so it can be said that everyone is in power.

Of course, this does not represent the thoughts of all ministers, especially big figures like the left minister and senior ministers, who will not see the problem so superficially.

It's just that Li Daoyan will really send someone to find him?

Lu Shen always felt that this matter was a little strange, according to Xiao Wangzhi's evaluation of this old man, this person acted with foresight and then acted, and rarely took the initiative to stand up and take a stand, and generally hinted at others to do it.

Song Yun's words are easy to distinguish between true and false, and no one dares to pretend to be that Li Sanlang if he wants to come to Beijing.

Under the cover of this fog, it is really difficult to judge the purpose of all parties.

Although Lu Shen didn't want to get involved in the turmoil of the court, he also knew that his identity was a little embarrassing.

Among the border generals convened by the Son of Heaven, the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion is the same, and Li Bingxue's daughter can bring her a lot of convenience, and ordinary people dare not tease the pearl of Li Dadu's palm.

But Lu Shen is different, it is impossible for others to know that Xiao Wangzhi regards him as a nephew, the son of such a businessman who seems to have no foundation and connections, and was pushed out by Li Tianrun as the first hero of Jiangbei's victory, and it is indeed the best chess piece to change the situation.

The so-called banquet is not a good banquet, don't look at what Song Yun said wildly, as long as Lu Shen takes the bait and agrees to this banquet, he can imagine what will happen next with his toes.

It's nothing more than accepting it as a dog, or killing chickens and monkeys.

No matter how bad it is, it can also make Lu Shen lose himself in the soft red of this prosperous capital, and make the Son of Heaven make the weight of these border army generals a joke.

Now what Lu Shen needs to figure out is whether this Li Sanlang who suddenly appeared out of nowhere is self-assertive or bewitched, in short, he doesn't believe that this will be Li Daoyan's handiwork.

The second is naturally how he can avoid this storm, if he really can't avoid it, how to prevent possible trouble, and whether he can take advantage of the fire.

Thinking of this, Lu Shen called Chen Shu over and said indifferently: "You don't have to stay in the mansion for the past two days, go to the city to see our shop's business." In addition, you do two things for me. ”

Chen Shu responded respectfully and listened with bated breath.

Not to mention that the two of them had a secret discussion in the room, just said that after Song Yun left the house, he sighed all the way to the alum tower a few streets away.

This alum tower is a very famous pastime in Beijing, and it has always been a gentle place for the children of the powerful to enjoy flowers and listen to music.

Song Yun didn't bother to pay attention to the flattering smile of the acquaintance, and went straight to a small lakeside building in the back, and before he entered the door on the third floor, he heard the continuous conversation and laughter inside.

He hurriedly changed his humble expression, and with a little trepidation, he walked in respectfully, and saluted the young man who was sitting on the throne with luxurious and handsome eyes and eyebrows: "Third young master." ”

The young man held a light beauty of twenty-eight years in his left hand, and held a wine cup in his right hand next to her cherry sip, and forced her to drink a full glass of wine with a flirtatious smile, while several men of similar age were coaxing next to her.

The beauty is shy and timid, and wants to refuse and welcome.

It wasn't until she drank a glass of wine slowly that there was a cheer in the banquet that the young man let her go, turned his head to look at Song Yun, who had been bowing and saluting, and said quietly: "What about people?" ”

There was a sudden silence in the private room.

Song Yun's heart tightened, and he said ashamedly: "The villain is not doing well, please punish the third young master!" ”

"You......"

The young man smiled faintly, his smile instantly faded into a fierce color, and he said coldly: "What a waste!" ”

He raised his hand and smashed the wine cup out, Song Yun didn't dare to make the slightest dodge move, let the wine cup smash on his chest, and then hurriedly bowed down and said, "Third Young Master, please calm your anger, don't hurt your body." ”

The others watched in silence, not daring to speak out.

The beauty who snuggled next to the young man turned slightly pale, and she also didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of provoking the moody and powerful child next to her.

Of course, Song Yun is not just a scholar of Guozijian, otherwise he would not be qualified to enter this small building, but his father is only a fourth-rank official, and the other party's grandfather is a left-handed minister who leans towards the government and the opposition.

Mo said that he was just a slap in the face of wine, even if he was treated roughly, as long as it did not endanger his life, he would forcibly endure it.

The young man snorted lightly and said with an expressionless face, "Tell me what is going on." ”

Song Yun hurriedly repeated the previous conversation briefly, and said: "Third Young Master, this Lu Shen is a military general with tendons, and he doesn't understand the doorway in Beijing at all. The villain said to him very clearly, but he didn't care, which showed that he was an ignorant and coarse person. ”

The young man is Li Daoyan's youngest grandson, whose name is Li Yunyi, and everyone in Beijing calls him Li Sanlang.

Li Yunyi was noncommittal to Song Yun's words, patted the beauty on the face and let her leave, and the rest of the idle people retreated, then looked at the young man on the left and said, "Let's analyze it." ”

The young man was handsome and handsome, and he had a good look.

Song Yun couldn't help but be very jealous when he saw Li Yunyi's posture.

Of course, the circle around the powerful is also estranged and close, Song Yun doesn't know how much pickling he has done for this Li Sanlang to squeeze in, but no matter how hard he works, his status in Li Yunyi's heart is always no match for this student named Gu Quanwu.

Including today, he invited Lu Shen, and it was also Gu Quanwu who gave advice, but he was able to sit in the middle of the building, and he wanted to go to Lu Mansion to show off his lips.

Gu Quanwu didn't care about Song Yun's cold gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Childe, as I said before, Your Majesty has only two plans for transferring young generals from the border army to Beijing. The first is to achieve the goal of setting up another Jiangbei army by promoting these young military generals, and the second is to transfer the border army generals to the Beijing army through the replacement of personnel, so as to adjust the pattern of the army. These two goals are the same goal, both of which are to further expand the strength of the border army and strengthen the determination of the Northern Expedition. ”

Li Yunyi nodded convincingly.

Gu Quanwu said again: "For Xiang Ye, this transfer must be stopped, after all, the Northern Expedition is not beneficial to the country and the people, but you can't openly oppose Your Majesty, which is not in line with the way of the people." Especially the prime minister's high position, it is easy to express his position, if the son can solve this problem, it will not be in vain for the grandfather's love for the son. ”

Li Yunyi laughed, patted Gu Quanwu's shoulder and said, "Brother Gu, who knows me." ”

Gu Quanwu bowed his head.

Li Yunyi pondered for a moment, and then said to everyone: "Don't leak the news of this matter for the time being, let my grandfather know that he will definitely not allow me to make a move, have you heard it clearly?" ”

Everyone responded respectfully, and Gu Quanwu lowered his eyes, his gaze obscure.

Li Yunyi took a sip of wine and sneered: "Since this Lu Shen toasts and doesn't eat and drink, then let's help him make a name for himself in the capital, and let His Majesty see clearly what the famous general seed he values is." ”

Gu Quanwu said with understanding: "The meaning of the son, to take the Chinese army directly? ”

Li Yunyi bowed his head and said: "Among these border army generals, those people in Jingzhou are not easy to provoke, and there is no need to tease that female madman again." ”

When he said this, he was quite gritted his teeth, and everyone naturally knew that Li Sanlang, who had always been arrogant and domineering, had suffered a big loss at the hands of that "female madman", but they didn't dare to show it at this time.

Li Yunyi continued: "Let Gu Wan'er go to that Lu Shen, live in Lu Mansion first, and then make some trouble." ”

Gu Quanwu was clear, and said unhurriedly: "Childe's move is a good move, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Li Yunyi said with a smile: "Your Majesty has a lot of worries during this time, and I don't have the energy to pay attention to these border generals for the time being, and ten days of hard work should be enough." ”

He looked at Song Yun and said, "If this matter can't be done well, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings." ”

Song Yun was awe-struck in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and responded: "The villain understands, please rest assured that the third young master is assured." ”

……

On the fifth day that Lu Shen came to the capital, he still hadn't gone out, and those prayers were still lying quietly on the desk.

Early in the morning, someone from the Yamen of the Ministry of War informed them that the twelve young generals of the border army arrived yesterday, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of War will play the Son of Heaven today, so His Majesty may summon them to meet at any time, and ask Lu Shen not to leave without permission during this time.

In the afternoon, Lu Shen was in the room to comprehend the Xuan Sutra, and Chen Shu rushed to say goodbye: "Young master, someone outside sent a famous post. ”

Lu Shen got up and took a look, only to see that this was a very delicate name post, with a delicate hairpin flower written on it.

"Gu Wan'er? Who is this? ”

Lu Shen looked at it over and over, and then asked puzzledly.

Chen Shu said in a low voice: "There are five major Oirans in Beijing, all of whom are Qingqi people who are excellent in color and art, and this Gu Wan'er is one of them. ”

Lu Shen looked at the simple greeting on the name post, and said with a smile: "What did she come to me for?" ”

Chen Shu's expression was a little strange, and she replied: "Her maid said that she heard that the young master was a young hero who fought for the country, and this Gu Wan'er admired her, so she spent a lot of money to get out of the country, and she was willing to go into the house to pour tea and water for the young master to serve around." ”

Lu Shen looked at him in a daze, and the two of them looked at each other with big eyes.

After a while, Lu Shen said with a leisurely sigh: "It is worthy of being the best place at the feet of the Son of Heaven, these people are really extraordinary." ”

Chen Shu smiled embarrassedly.

Lu Shen saw that he had no intention of leaving, so he handed the name card back and said indifferently: "You tell this Gu Huakui's maid, just say that I am blessed and weak, and I can't stand her so much, let her live her own life." ”

Chen Shu took the name card and said, "Young master, I'm afraid this matter is a little troublesome." ”

Lu Shen asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Shu sighed: "People have already come, an ordinary carriage, a coachman with a maid, waiting outside the gate of our house." ”

Lu Shen thought for a while and said calmly: "What's so difficult about this? Let her go back, and if she refuses, then let her stay outside, as long as she likes. ”

He turned and walked back into the room.

Chen Shu smiled dumbly and nodded, "Yes, young master." ”
