king of war

Chapter 61 Away from the Central Vortex
From this moment on, the three brothers Qin Rongshuai became the personal bodyguards of the new emperor Zhu Changluo, and they never left their side.

Zhu Changluo didn't even need the daily maids and eunuchs, and the princess was in charge of drinking water and meals.

During this period, courtiers got the news and rushed to Zhu Changluo to report, but Zhu Changluo didn't meet everyone, he chose the people he wanted to meet, and Qin Rongshuai was responsible for bringing in the people named by Zhu Changluo from the palace gate one by one. .

Among them are famous figures such as Yang Lian in Bingke Youwei Shizhong, Yushi Zuo Guangdou, and Minister of the Ministry of Officials Zhou Jiamo.

Fang Congzhe, the chief minister of the cabinet, was the last to arrive. He did not ride in a sedan, but just rode in a carriage and came with an entourage.

When Qin Rongshuai rushed to the palace gate to greet him, he happened to see his attendants stop the carriage, and then helped Fang Congzhe get out of the carriage.

"Mr. Fang Ge, the emperor wants to see you immediately." Qin Rongshuai walked over immediately and reached out to help Fang Congzhe.

"Okay, take me there quickly." Fang Congzhe turned his head and said to his entourage, "Jiefu, you wait here for me."

"Yes, Mr. Ge."

After speaking, Fang Congzhe followed a guard and walked inside.

Qin Rongshuai was also about to leave, when he turned his head and glanced suddenly, he saw Fang Congzhe's entourage was tall, with slender arms, a dusty iron sword hanging from his waist, and the scabbard was wrapped with hemp rope layer after layer.

The attendant looked ordinary, but his eyes were shining brightly. Seeing Qin Rongshuai sizing him up, he froze for a moment, and then showed a simple and honest smile, "Why do you look at me, my lord?"

"You know how to use a sword?" Qin Rongshuai looked at him seriously.

"Yes." The entourage looked at Jin Yiwei with some doubts.

"Where did you stay the night before? Who can prove it?" Qin Rongshuai immediately asked.

The entourage thought for a while, and then said affirmatively: "I have been at Elder Ge's mansion the night before, and I have not been out of the house all night. All the servants in Elder Ge's mansion can testify."

Only then did Qin Rongshuai dispel a little doubt in his heart, and this person's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and he was very cooperative. He didn't mention Fang Congzhe when he brought witnesses, but instead brought up his servants, because it was the best way to check, and went directly to Fang Congzhe's mansion to find someone casually Just ask and you will know.

"Sorry." Qin Rongshuai smiled, "I don't know your name."

"My lord, you're welcome." The entourage cupped his fists and said, "Cao Min Nan Yuan Jin."

"I'm Qin Rong, and I'm working in Jinyiwei." Qin Rongshuai immediately clasped his fists in return, "I was presumptuous just now, Brother Nan, don't mind."

"Don't dare."

"Brother Nan has been in the capital for a long time, do you know if there are any swordsmen in this city." Qin Rongshuai continued to ask with a smile.

"Oh, well, there are indeed a few of them." Nan Yuanjin thought for a while and replied, "Your Excellency is looking for a sword master."

"Exactly, please enlighten Brother Nan."

"I think it's good to use a sword. One is Chen Huaifeng, the guardian of Lord Yang's residence. These two are also from the Jade Sword Sect in the south of the Yangtze River." Nan Yuanjin did not hide anything, and told Qin Rongshuai one by one the masters in the capital, "The others are not so interesting, if adults are interested If so, I will write it down for adults later."

Qin Rongshuai was overjoyed, thanked him well, deliberately made friends, and said that when he was free, he would come to his house to learn martial arts.He also promised to give Nan Yuan Jin a weapon as a reward, but Nan Yuan Jin refused several times before agreeing to accept it.

When Qin Rongshuai returned to Ciqing Palace, he heard a fierce quarrel erupting from a distance. Yang Lian and the others were blushing and excited, and surrounded the chief assistant Fang Congzhe, as if they were about to start fighting in the next second.

Qin Rongshuai felt strange, so he leaned over to Lu Wenzhao and asked, "Brother, what's the noise in there?"

Lu Wenzhao didn't seem to have a good face, so he snorted coldly, "It's all trivial things, so there are so many important military affairs, and the major issues of governing the country and the country are not mentioned, it's all bullshit here..."

Yang Lian shouted at this time, "Since the late emperor passed away, Concubine Zheng should move to the Palace of Compassion and Peace. If she stays in the Palace of Qianqing, it is a violation of the law! How to deal with it, please give instructions from Your Majesty."

Zuo Guangdou also said: "The Qianqing Palace is the emperor's bedroom. If Concubine Zheng doesn't leave, the emperor can't move in. What's the matter? Mr. Fangge, you are the chief assistant of the cabinet. You have to set an example for all the ministers and urge Concubine Zheng to move in." Compassion Palace."

Yang Lian was a little impatient, "Your Majesty, please make a decision early and order the eunuchs to assist Concubine Zheng to move to the palace."

Zhu Changluo looked sad, and sighed, "This... this can't be done."

"What can't be done!" Yang Lian took a step forward and said seriously, "Concubine Zheng confuses the late emperor during the late emperor's time, disrupted the court, and shaken the foundation of the country..."

Zhu Changluo didn't express his opinion either, but just kept saying that he couldn't do it over and over again.

Qin Rongshuai's expression changed, and he immediately whispered a few words into Lu Wenzhao's ear. Lu Wenzhao frowned, thought about it, gritted his teeth, and nodded.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Lu Wenzhao walked in with an anxious look and said.

Yang Lian and the others glared at each other and scolded: "I am waiting for the important officials of the court to discuss state affairs here, so you have no place to speak."

Lu Wenzhao lowered his head and remained silent. Zhu Changluo's eyes lit up and he quickly waved his hands, "What does Lu Aiqing want to say?"

"The late emperor had just conquered Bintian, so forcing Concubine Zheng to do so would inevitably violate filial piety." Lu Wenzhao's voice was low, like thunder. Yang Lian and others immediately became angry and shouted loudly.

Zhu Changluo frowned slightly, raised his voice and said, "Then what is Aiqing's opinion?"

"Wei Chen feels that the person who tied the bell is still needed to untie the bell, as long as Concubine Zheng voluntarily moves out of Qianqing Palace."

Yang Lian and the others sneered. If Concubine Zheng is willing to move out of Qianqing Palace, what are they still arguing about? Just as she was about to sarcastically, Zhu Changluo interrupted them directly and asked: "How did Concubine Zheng volunteer?"

"Naturally, we should ask people to be moved with emotion, and to persuade them with reason." Lu Wenzhao immediately said, "I will leave this matter to the minister, but I have an unfeeling request, please allow me to come forward and report it."

Zhu Changluo immediately nodded in agreement. Lu Wenzhao leaned in front of him and whispered something in his ear. Zhu Changluo immediately relaxed his brows, nodded, and said, "Yes."

The ministers were a little confused, but they couldn't ask directly, so they changed their minds and reached an agreement. They criticized the chief minister of the cabinet, and the Ciqing Palace once again became a quarrel.

Lu Wenzhao got the order, and dragged Qin Rongshuai to escape quickly.

Qin Rongshuai hesitated for a moment on the road, and then said softly to Lu Wenzhao: "Brother, after this matter is over, I want to be transferred out of the capital."

Lu Wenzhao was taken aback when he heard the words, "Third brother, what are you?"

Qin Rongshuai sighed, "The water in the capital is too deep. I feel that it is too tiring to get involved in it. It is better to leave it to other places where I feel more comfortable."

Lu Wenzhao felt that when the new emperor ascended the throne and they were about to be reused, Qin Rongshuai proposed to leave. He felt very sorry in his heart. After trying hard to persuade him for a while, seeing that Qin Rongshuai was determined to leave, he asked: "Third brother, where are you going?"

"Let's go around, let's go out to investigate the case, and relax." Qin Rongshuai sighed, "I want to go to Shanxi first. I heard that there are some people there who are secretly smuggling food and military supplies."

Lu Wenzhao nodded, "That's fine, you can come back anytime if things go wrong outside, anyway, from now on, Beizhen Fusi will be our brother's world."

After the discussion between the two, they went directly to Zheng Yangxing's mansion, threatened Zheng Manfu's confession, and brought Zhu Changluo's oral order, if he could persuade his aunt to move out of Qianqing Palace, then the past will be forgotten.

Zheng Yangxing was caught by someone, and in desperation, he agreed to go to the palace to persuade him. In the afternoon, Concubine Zheng moved to the Palace of Compassion, and the matter just subsided.

After the matter was resolved, Zhu Changluo and Longyan were delighted. He issued several edicts in succession, issued 100 million taels of silver twice to reward the border guards in Liaodong and other places, dismissed the mining tax, reviewed the tax, withdrew the mining tax envoy, added cabinet ministers, and operated the central government. move.

The new dynasty is full of people, and there is a new atmosphere.

Lu Wenzhao was promoted to be the commander of the affairs department, the fourth grade, and to be in charge of the Fusi of Beizhen.

Not long ago, Lu Wenzhao married Ding Baiying, and for a time he was very proud and became famous.

At this time, Qin Rongshuai finally heard the system prompt, and he completed Lu Wenzhao's mission.

At the beginning of August, Qin Rong, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, went out of Beijing to inspect the nine borders and check smuggling.
