Chapter 871: The Lu House (Part 1)

In the huge garden, a middle-aged man was walking casually in a regular dress, frowning and blankly looking.

Go west along the spreading corridor, standing in the pavilion, looking at the pond not far away. There are rockery in the middle of the pond, and there are many green plants around it. A man shouted with heavy stones on his back.

"Um?"

"Father, the rockery is mostly damaged." The young man behind him whispered: "The third brother asked someone to buy it from Tongzhou."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "Now is not as good as before, and we can no longer drive soldiers to be slaves."

"Father, the British Duke's Mansion built a garden a few days ago..."

"Do you know that it is the Duke of England, and the Lu family has been awarded the hereditary title?" The middle-aged man turned around and scolded: "I am not a father, but I cannot bring disaster to you like the Xu family!"

Xu Fan and Xu Ying had long been a joke in the yamen circle. The young man nodded and added: "Father, this person is not a soldier, but a military craftsman. He has already left his post and joined the school. Last year, he carried the stones and carried the soil. He was praised by his father and his daughter was a maid in the backyard."

The middle-aged man then felt relieved, "I remember that this manpower is very powerful and his appetite is amazing."

At this time, there were rapid footsteps, and the housekeeper trotted, "Master, young master, I have posted a post, it's Qian Longquan of Suiyuan."

After a moment of quietness, the young man sighed softly: "My father has left his post for half a year, and even in-laws rarely have contacts. Unexpectedly, Qian Longquan came to visit."

This young man is Lu Bing's eldest son Lu Jing. Since Duke Cheng took over as the Jinyiwei Daquan, basically no one has come to visit the Lu family, which is doomed to be defeated. In the past month, no one has visited the door for a long time.

Lu Bing, who was praised by Yan Shifan as the talent in the world, sneered twice. He knew in his heart that his family was defeated and suddenly visited him. There was not a single person like this, but there was no such person in Suiyuan, and Qian Yuan was not the one who was waiting for him.

He had not visited him for half a year, but Qian Yuan chose to visit him when he was impeached by the censor Kedao... Lu Bing guessed that it should be what he meant today.

"Father, go back to your room first?" Lu Jing suggested softly. After all, the Lu family heard the news and Lu Bing was seriously ill and bedridden.

"No need." Lu Bing said with a blank expression: "Just bring it."

When Qian Yuan was walking over and wanted to exchange greetings for a few words, Lu Bing turned around and asked, "Lu decided to let the three girls go out next month, what's the point of Zhan Cai?"

Qian Yuan chuckled, then sat down and rolled the folding fan, "Brother Wenfu and Ji Quangong discussed this matter."

Lu Bing was a little nervous when he was blocked by these words. Damn it. He used to call Commander Lu, Governor, and Duke of Donghu in person, but now he has become Brother Wenfu?

I am fifty years old this year, and my eldest son is only four years older than you, Qian Zhan. Do you call me brother?

Lu Bing turned around with a gloomy face and continued to look at the servant who was carrying stones. He asked this question on the other hand in an attempt to inquire about Suiyuan's attitude, and even more so inquire about Emperor Longqing's attitude.

If Emperor Longqing refused to let go and wanted to attack the Lu family, even if Sun Sheng refused to regret the marriage, Qian Yuan, the bastard, would definitely mess up the matter.

Lu Bing knew how the young man behind him had great methods, and he had no kindness... Xu Huating was almost vomiting blood three times.

The reason why he made a big noise was that Lu Bing suffered an unscathed disaster. In the past few decades, he was trusted by Emperor Jiajing and had no right to do so. Even Yan Song and Yan Shifan dared not offend him, but he also offended many people... Lu Bing did things under Emperor Jiajing, but he did not dare to hide them, so he naturally wanted to offend others.

So, I don’t know where this trend started, but five censors wrote letters to impeach Lu Bing.

The most surprising thing is the charge... and the Yan Party slandered Xia Guixi.

A while ago, Xia Yan was rehabilitated, and this incident spread to the world. I don’t know why rumors came out. At that time, Xia Yan wanted to punish Lu Bing, but the latter bribed gold. Xia Yan refused. Lu Bing knelt down and cried and apologized for a long time, so he was spared.

Therefore, Yan Song and Yan Shifan later framed Xia Yan, and Lu Bing helped Yan's party, which eventually led to Xia Yan being abandoned.

Wow, it's quite logically smooth.

In fact, this is nonsense, and most people in the court also know that this is nonsense.

During Xia Yan's reign, Lu Bing was impeached only once. The person who wrote a letter was Chen Qixue, a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Jiajing. He wrote a letter to impeach Lu Bing in the 26th year of Jiajing. He was charged with three charges, expelling refugees, banning money from the people, and being bribed by tyrants.

This matter was once very big, but the first two charges were really nonsense. Exorcisting refugees was one of the duties of the Jinyiwei. The middle money was a bad currency and counterfeit currency circulated among the people. It should have been banned, but was bribed by the tyrant businessmen... Emperor Jiajing personally ordered the search for the tyrant businessmen, and Lu Bing was eventually scolded and blamed.

Regardless of whether Lu Bing should have escaped the blame for Emperor Jiajing's favor, Xia Yan did not interfere from beginning to end... The Jinyiwei is the minion of the emperor and the slave of the emperor. How could Xia Yan interfere?

Therefore, although five censors of the Taoist censors wrote letters to impeach Lu Bing, they were actually calm and they all looked at Emperor Longqing's attitude.

If Emperor Longqing had a disgusted attitude, there would naturally be someone coming forward... Just trying to please His Majesty would be enough to make a fortune. Later, when Zhang Juzheng passed away, some officials spyed on Emperor Wanli's thoughts and wrote a letter to impeach and pursue responsibility, and even promoted one after another.

Lu Bing did not speak anymore, and Qian Yuan was not born. He only looked at Lu Bing's back with a playful look. He hadn't seen him for half a year, and his always straight back seemed a little hunched.

Some time ago, the impeachment of the censor Kedao awakened Qian Yuan's memory of his previous life. Historical books mentioned that Lu Bing and Yan Shifan framed Xia Yan, but unexpectedly it was groundless.

Historical books may be the most nonsensical type of books in history... Qian Yuan wanted to laugh a little. "History of Ming Dynasty" records that Lu Bing framed Xia Yan, but also records... The scholar-officials never framed anyone.

This is contradictory in itself. Could it be that Xia Yan, two Jinshi, was appointed as the chief minister of the cabinet, but was not a scholar-official?

After a long period of silence, Lu Bing couldn't help it... Qian Yuan was not in a hurry, slowly shaking the folding fan, looking around at the garden that was very famous in the capital.

"I really envy Longshan."

This garden is really no worse than Suiyuan. Qian Yuan thought about it and said casually: "Remember that Eunuch Huang is elder brother Wenfu?"

Longshan was the title of Huang Jin, the former eunuch in charge of the seal, and Huang Jin's niece was Lu Bing's second wife.

Lu Bing mentioned Huang Jin who had returned to his hometown to retire, and his tone was quite envious, which obviously meant to be imitated.

"Will you Qian Zhancai have a seniority with Xu Fan?"

"In-laws may not necessarily help in time, but more of it is to put down the wrong side." Qian Yuan said with a smile: "It's because Qian is so good, and he doesn't expect to help in time... He even parted ways early for those who may put down the wrong side. Brother Wenfu's in-laws..."

Lu Bing smiled bitterly, although he didn't say anything, he also agreed with the other party's words. The Lu family has many in-laws, but unfortunately, no one has visited the door since the moon was over.

Lu Bing sneered twice, "Although Lu yearns for it, he has received great grace from the royal family. His Majesty has an assignment, and Lu is willing to do so."

"Willing?" Qian Yuan stood up and put away his folding fan, sneering: "Famous reputation is lost. Historical records show that Lu Wenfu framed Xia Guixi. The Lu family in Pinghu has been devastated since Lu Wenfu. His son was dismissed from office and exiled. Perhaps his home will be confiscated?"

Turning around, Qian Yuan drew a circle with a folding fan in his hand, "I don't know who this garden will fall into the future."
