MTL - Raising Wolves-v2 Chapter 58

After some conversation in the warm pavilion, the originally stiff atmosphere was relieved.

Ning Juan smiled and squeezed Lu Qingze's shoulder for a while, and asked cautiously, "Can teacher stay with me for dinner?"

Like a puppy who has done something wrong and is afraid of biting someone.

Seeing his appearance, Lu Qing felt uncomfortable. Even though he had warned himself many times to "reduce physical contact", he still couldn't hold back. Why does it smell like tea lately?"

Ning Juan obediently touched it, rubbed his palm lightly, and blinked: "Is the teacher complimenting me?"

Lu Qing said: "...It's not that it can't be understood as a compliment."

Ning Juan narrowed his eyes secretly, from Lu Qingze's tone before and after, he vaguely understood what Lu Qingze meant by that description, and didn't take it seriously.

Selling a little face can make Lu Qingze soft, isn't it worth it.

Lu Qing withdrew his hand, and couldn't help but looked at Ning Juan again, such a handsome and handsome young man, with a noble and noble status, who was coquettish but unambiguous at all, and didn't know which girl could stand it in the future.

Lu Qing got up, and when he left the warm pavilion, he looked back and took a second look before stepping out.

Ning Juan was like a tail, while Lu Qing would go wherever he went, following him like a shadow.

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere between the two, Chang Shun happily took out a small handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes.

The little golden bowl and the big mansion are saved!

Lu Qing looked at Changshun's appearance with a hint of amusement.

The one who cares most about their relationship seems to be Changshun.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that after Jiang You and his party, he and Ning Juan have often had conflicts. It is no wonder that Chang Shun is always frightened, and he looks like he is afraid that they will fight.

Although most of the time it is Ning Juan who is flirting with the fire, I don't know whether it is a rebellious period or a simple temperament.

Or maybe it's because of... something else.

Lu Qing subconsciously didn't want to think about it anymore, so he got into the south study, borrowed a pen and paper, and recalled the intricate relationships in the documents he had read in the Ministry of Personnel today, and slowly wrote a list and handed it over to Ning. Tired: "I only looked at the records of the Jingcha for two years, and found that there are problems with the transfer and promotion of these people."

It sounds like an understatement, but the two years of Jingcha records covered documents that can be stacked up to the roof. To analyze the complex relationships inside, it hurts not only the eyes but also the brain.

Ning Juan was quiet for a moment, power can bind people, so he couldn't wait to send power to Lu Qingze, preferably a position above ten thousand people.

But he didn't want Lu Qing to worry about it.

After dealing with Wei Herong, he would not let Lu Qingze bother anymore.

Ning Juan pressed the surging mood, glanced at the list, and pondered for a moment: "Zheng Yao is arraigning Zhang Dong and Lu Wei, this list may come in better use."

Lu Qing looked at his expression of contemplating what to do with a moth, and it felt like a child had grown up again. He smiled and picked up a cup of tea and wanted to drink it. It was only now that he realized that the mask on his face forgot to take off.

Ning Juan, who used to stick together to take off the mask for him, never moved.

Is it because he found that he was pulling the distance, not wanting to have too much contact?

This kid has always been sensitive.

Lu Qing had long eyelashes and lowered his lids, rubbing the tea cup, but in the end he didn't explain it.

It is best to maintain such a distance between teachers and students. Since Ning Juan has also started to distance himself from his body, he must have thought it clearly, and there will be no more misunderstandings.

Things that cross the line like the Mid-Autumn Festival night cannot and will never happen again.

While waiting for dinner to be delivered, the two discussed the recent situation between the capital and Mobei, and they had a bottom line.

When General Shi returned to the capital, the capital was bound to make waves again.

Before that, all they need to do is to stir up the backwater.

After accompany Ning Juan to finish dinner and check the time, Lu Qing was ready to leave and return to the house.

Ning Juan endured it, biting the tip of his tongue hard, and in the faint **** smell, he killed the words he retained.

No hurries.

When the real power is in his hands, not only Daqi's Jiangshan, but also Lu Qing will belong to him.

He tasted the **** smell, swallowed what he wanted to say, his smile still remained unchanged, he personally sent Lu Qing to go out, tilted his head and asked: "Teacher is now in an important position, unlike before, it's better to bring it with you. A few guards, why don't you bring me to the guards in your mansion?"

This also makes sense. Wei Herong is currently in a passive position. The little emperor has grown up.

Now Lu Qingze and Ning Juan can't move him, but they can continue to weaken his wings. Under such circumstances, whether Wei Herong or the rest of the Wei Dang, may secretly kill people when they are pressed.

Lu Qing nodded: "Don't worry, I will arrange it."

You five are tall and big, which is too obvious.

He thought of another person who was more suitable, it just depends on whether the other party is willing or not.

Back at Lu Mansion, Lu Qing handed the cakes brought from the palace to Chen Xiaodao: "Where's Lin Xi?"

Chen Xiaodao loves the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by the small kitchen of the Qianqing Palace. Every time Lu Qing brings him back some sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Chen Xiaodao hugs him happily: "I'm practicing in the backyard."

Lu Qing glanced at him: "Didn't you say you want to learn martial arts with Lin Xi?"

Chen Xiaodao's happiness came to an abrupt end, and his face collapsed: "Young Master, you didn't know that you were in the palace a few days ago, but Lin Xiyin called me up at the end of the hour!

Lu Qing smiled sullenly: "Are you still learning?"

"If you don't learn, don't learn," Chen Xiaodao shook his head like a rattle, and said angrily, "If you continue to learn, you will lose your life."

Lu Qing was happy for a while, remembering that when Ning Juan followed Zheng Yao to learn martial arts in his teens, it was much harder than this. He practiced martial arts for half a day during the day, and the rest of the time was listening to lectures and studying, and he hardly took a break.

Thinking of the twisted and cute Xiao Guoguo when he was a child, his smile deepened. As Chen Xiaodao stepped into the backyard, he saw Lin Xi practicing guns.

Lin Xi is proficient in many weapons, and the one he is best at is using a gun.

Lu Qingze and Chen Xiaodao sat under the corridor and watched for a while, and when he finished practicing, they all applauded.

Lin Xi's face immediately turned red, and he didn't know if it was hot or ashamed. He put down his gun and walked over. Chen Xiaodao jumped up and put a piece of osmanthus cake in his mouth, smiling proudly: "This is the best food in the palace. Dim sum, in the past, when my son brought me back, I didn’t tell anyone apart, you can try it!”

Lin Xi chewed blankly, sweet and fragrant.

Really delicious.

Lin Xi's eyes lit up slightly, and was dragged by Chen Xiaodao to sit down beside him. The two teenagers gathered together, you and I ate them together, like two little hamsters.

Lu Qing looked at the two with a smile, and then said, "Lin Xi, would you like to be my bodyguard for a while?"

Lin Xi looked at it blankly, and before he swallowed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his mouth, it looked more like a little hamster.

"The situation in the capital has been uncertain recently, and I may encounter some dangers," Lu Qing looked into his eyes and explained to him, "After General Shi returns to Beijing, he will definitely attract attention, and I will also conveniently take you to the Duke's Mansion. Meet him. Of course, if you don't want to, I have many ways to take you there, don't worry."

His voice is clear and gentle, and his tone is completely negotiable.

Whether Lin Xi agrees or not is entirely up to him.

After all, this child is too social, and it is really embarrassing for him to go out with him every day and see so many people.

Lin Xi thought for a while, then signed the language seriously: I am willing, don't worry, Master Lu, I will protect you.

The next day, Lu Qing was surrounded by a young and stern guard who was also wearing a mask.

Lu Qingze's status is now a lot higher, thinking that there are naturally many people who come forward to flatter him. If he can't get along with Lu Qingze, he tries to talk to this guard.

However, after two days, everyone discovered that this guard was not only taciturn, but also ignored what others said, and had a very bad temper.

It is quite scary, and no one dares to approach it again.

Lu Qing accidentally heard some gossip: "..."

After looking at the few people again, Lin Xi, who was silently squatting on the side, said, "..."

never mind.

Those rumors were also a form of protection for Lin Xi.

Just a few days after Lu Qingze became a hotly debated figure in the capital, the news that General Shi Da was injured and prepared to return to Beijing to recuperate spread like wildfire.

Yanjing is like a pot of seemingly calm boiling oil. Anything that falls outside may cause the pot to explode, let alone General Shi. just exploded.

Now Wei Herong is being suppressed by the little emperor, but the little emperor doesn't dare to really move Wei Herong. The situation is so delicate that Shi Rongfeng suddenly wants to return to Beijing at this juncture!

Didn't his old man never return to Beijing for many years and never engage in politics?

General Shi has a heavy army in his hand, and as long as he stands on one side, the battle will be settled.

He himself will not rebel, but it is not impossible to support an unnamed regent—that is, Wei Herong, to stabilize the court for him, and not do anything.

But if he is on the side of the little emperor, the little emperor no longer has to be afraid of Fan Wei, the commander of the fifth army battalion behind Wei Herong.

The question is, will Shi Rongfeng support the royal family who betrayed him?

In that battle, Wei Herong transferred grain and grass to Mobei to support him. After all, Wei Herong had some kindness with him.

Maybe just to watch the fun, ready to watch from the sidelines?

Whether it's the Guardians or the Royalists, it's a bit of insomnia for a while.

But in any case, the war in Mobei is over, and it is reasonable for Shi Rongfeng to come back. Even if many people don't want him to return to Beijing at this moment, they can't stop him.

Just when General Shi Da returned to Beijing, the interrogation of Zhang Dong, the former servant of the Ministry of Personnel, by the Beizhen Fusi also ended, and a piece of news was revealed to the outside world.

Zhang Dong and Lu Wei confessed to a list.

The two cooperated in private. Lu Wei was in charge of collecting bribes and planning to promote the list. Zhang Dong was in charge of taking money behind his back and doing things behind the scenes.

Now that disaster is imminent, the two really don't have the endurance of Pan Jingmin, and they will explain it all in a few days.

Knowing that the unknown list had been handed over to Nanshufang, the capital suddenly added a group of people who couldn't sleep. For fear that they would not wake up the next day, the commander Zheng, who looked like a bandit leader, brought people with him. Kicked the door in.

At this time, Lu Qing also started to act.

He patiently read through all the Jingcha documents in recent years, and began to shuffle the cards off guard.

In a few days, three or four managers and principals were taken away by Jin Yiwei. The charges were so conclusive that people had nothing to say, so they quickly installed newcomers.

For a while, the officials of the Ministry of Personnel were in a state of panic.

Everyone could see that the little emperor and Lu Qing were cutting Wei Herong's wings.

However, there were successive incidents in the personnel department, and even the original personnel department servant was involved in these matters, but Wei Herong could not be found and could not cause any harm to him.

I don't know if Wei Herong is doing too cleanly, or if these people are afraid of Wei Herong and dare not mention him at all.

Lu Qing thought about it for a while, but still felt that it was a pity to let Pan Jingmin as a witness. He borrowed a few people from Zheng Yao and took Lin Xi to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

After Pan Jingmin was brought back to the capital, he didn't know how Wei Herong asked him to revise his confession. The two confessions were inconsistent. He choked his neck and refused to admit it. Rong, the interrogation was temporarily suspended.

Lu Qing came to see Pan Jingmin with a sign, but the people from the Ministry of Punishment did not dare to let him in, so they had to let him in, and wanted to follow up, but was stopped by Jin Yiwei Hengdao, and he was immediately angry and annoyed, so he had to send someone quickly I went to notify Xiang Zhiming.

In the prison, it was yin and oozing, but Lu Qing was very calm.

The Ministry of Punishment did not protect Pan Jingmin too blatantly. It was uncomfortable to be in jail. Governor Jiang You, who was once aloof, shrank in the depths of the prison in embarrassment, cursing the rats, insects and ants that had crawled on the ground. He looked thinner again. Several laps.

Lin Xi still remembered this dog official who made Jiang Youmin feel uneasy. Seeing him, his eyes lit up with anger. If the situation did not allow it, he would simply want to slash the dog official under the sword!

Hearing the footsteps, Pan Jingmin stopped cursing and looked up to see Lu Qingze, whose face was covered in silver, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Although he had never met Lu Qingze, he had heard of Lu Qingze.

Lu Qing put his hands behind his back and looked away: "Master Pan, you have been in prison for a long time, and the news may not be well-informed. I am here this time, just to tell you some news, so you don't have to be so vigilant."

Pan Jingmin remained silent, but his eyes became more vigilant.

"Just a few days ago, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Xiang Zhiming, was severely punished and temporarily suspended. Zhang Dong, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Lu Wei, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, were arrested successively, and the charges have been established."

Lu Qingze didn't mind either, the corners of his mouth had a gentle curvature, and in the dark prison, his jaw was as white as snow: "I don't know what Wei Herong promised you, but you should know that Jiangyou's water disaster, Enough to condemn you to death."

Pan Jingmin was very familiar with the name that came out of Lu Qingze's mouth.

His pupils shrank slightly, he stared at Lu Qingze in surprise, the flesh on his face trembled: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Master Pan." Lu Qing leaned slightly and approached the iron fence, his lips moved, and his voice lowered, "People who are more useful than you have become abandoned sons, you are a threat, how can you feel confident, Will Wei Herong get away for you?"

Pan Jingmin's face was a little pale, but he still didn't make a sound.

Lu Qing didn't say much, planted a seed, and when Pan Jingmin wanted to ask again, he just smiled, turned around and left.

This made Pan Jingmin even more hesitant, and another unspeakable emotion flashed in his slender eyes.

When Xiang Zhiming learned the news, he hurriedly returned to the Punishment Department, found Pan Jingmin, and aggressively interrogated him what Lu Qingze had said, Pan Jingmin just leaned against the cold wall, his lips trembling: "Just some routine inquiries. "

Due to the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel in the past few days, and the list of people whose names were not known in His Majesty's hand, the Guardian Party swayed visibly inside.

Before the little emperor pinched the list, some people started to panic.

To disintegrate a group, the best way is not to attack from the outside, but to unhurriedly remove its wings and shake its heart.

These guards don't need to abandon the dark, they just need to be suspicious of Wei Herong.

As long as the seeds of doubt are planted, in an atmosphere like the capital, it can quickly ferment, which is something Wei Herong can't stop even if he wants to.

As Duan Lingguang and Lu Qingze analyzed on the painting boat, the reason why the Guardian Party appeared is because of the growth of the Eunuch Party.

Under the oppression of the eunuchs, many officials did not want to take refuge in the eunuchs and wanted to eliminate the Qing dynasty, so they had to spontaneously form a group to survive, and then formed a backbone.

Wei Herong was the chosen backbone.

After the eunuchs who chaotically disturbed the imperial court disappeared, the Guardian Party dominated and silently became the next power group to coerce the emperor, and the dragon slayers became evil dragons.

In the months when Lu Qingze and Ning Juan left Beijing, Wei Herong kept a low profile, but the Wei Dang almost turned upside down in the capital.

Obviously, even Wei Herong himself began to lose control of the arrogant and domineering Guardian Party.

Gu raising was eventually backlashed, and now it is a precursor to backlash.

Lu Qing took time out of his busy schedule, imagined himself as an outsider, and looked at Wei Herong's current situation with a cold eye - not to mention Wei Herong, even he, under the current situation, would find it difficult to find a smooth path. After all, the little emperor has grown up and looks more dazzling and sharp than everyone imagined, and his wrists are tough.

No matter how the servants are, they are only servants in the end.

I don't know if Wei Herong would regret not simply usurping the throne back then, or simply killing Ning Juan and replacing him with a younger, better-controlled puppet.

The capital was surging with dark tides. Amidst countless suspicions, General Shi Da's motorcade rumbled on and on. After a few days, they finally drove slowly into the gate of the capital under the watchful eyes of countless eyes.

The people greeted him all the way, all wanting to see what the rumored General Shi looked like, but unfortunately the General was injured and sat in the carriage and did not appear.

Shi Rongfeng walked lightly, only brought a hundred personal guards, and did not bring the army back to Beijing.

This made everyone heave a sigh of relief, but there was no way to completely relax.

Among the three battalions, the Shenji battalion has been in decline for a long time, the 3000 battalion is not very powerful, and the fifth army battalion is the strongest.

Although they were all the emperor's personal soldiers, Emperor Chong'an had been in charge for many years, and Ning Juan was very hasty when he ascended the throne. The soldiers were not convinced by the orders of their immediate superior, Fan Wei.

Shi Rongfeng has high prestige and holds a military talisman. Even if Fan Wei, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army Battalion who supports Wei Herong, wants to oppose, if Shi Rongfeng speaks, the soldiers under him will probably not listen to Fan Wei so easily.

The general was wounded, and Ning Juan made a special order to let Shi Rongfeng rest for a few days before entering the palace for an audience.

General Shi did not appreciate it, and went to the palace that night to ask to see him.

Lu Qing happened to be participating in the cabinet's political negotiation, and after the negotiation was over, he was shoveled to the Qianqing Palace secretly by Ning Juan.

When Shi Rongfeng asked to meet, Ning Juan was sitting in the courtyard and playing a game with Lu Qing. Lu Qing was too busy to enter the palace in recent days. It was rare for the two to spend time alone. The little emperor frowned, a little impatient. I don't want to be interrupted to get along with Lu Qingze.

"Changshun, go and invite the general to come in," Lu Qing saw the impatience in his eyes, smoothed his hair, turned his head to look at Changshun, "By the way, find someone to **** Lin Xi from Commander Zheng."

After being smoothed, Ning Juan's face softened.

Zheng Yao also entered the palace today, his eyes lit up when he saw Lin Xi, and he dragged him to discuss martial arts. Although he didn't understand Lin Xi's sign language very well, it did not prevent Commander Zheng from being enthusiastic.

I don't know where Lin Xi was kidnapped by Zheng Yao. When Shi Rongfeng stepped into the front hall of the Qianqing Palace, which was close to the foreign ministers, he hadn't been found yet.

The young general Shi Da led the soldiers to fight and had no time to care about personal affairs. He was in his thirties when he married his wife, and now he is nearly half a hundred years old. For a while, people forget to see what he looks like.

Lu Qing only noticed Shi Rongfeng's face at a second glance. There was an abnormal pallor on his face, and there was a faint tinge of blue. It looked like he had been injured, but his aura was too strong, but it attracted people's attention at first sight. not.

"I have seen Your Majesty at the end." Shi Rongfeng also stared at Ning Juan and Lu Qingze for a moment before bowing his head and bowing.

The chilling aura that rushed toward his face did not make Ning Wan's eyebrows move, and his tone was indifferent: "The general is exempted from the ceremony and granted a seat."

Shi Rongfeng was not polite, he moved the chair over, and sat down with a slam, his eyes turned around, and finally landed on Lu Qingze: "The last general is going all the way south, and I heard that there is a young teacher beside Your Majesty, it must be Your Excellency. "

Lu Qing smiled: "It is an honor to be remembered by the general."

"Then dare to ask Mrs. Lu," Shi Rongfeng stared at him and asked straight to the point, "How did you find out about that token?"

Before Lu Qing could answer, when he heard the footsteps, a smile appeared in his eyes, and motioned for Shi Rongfeng to look back: "How do I know, the general may see it better by seeing it with his own eyes."

Shi Rongfeng suddenly got up and turned around, just in time to meet the line of sight of Lin Xi who was entering through the door.

One old and one young were stunned at the same time.

At that moment, Lu Qing seemed to feel that the back of the invincible General Shi seemed to tremble slightly.

Shi Rongfeng walked to Lin Xi step by step, with a low voice: "Child... How old are you this year? Do you still remember..."

Before he finished speaking, he took a deep breath and didn't ask any more questions.

Blood is thicker than water, blood is a magical thing.

There is no need to look at the token anymore. The moment he saw this child, he was almost certain that this was the child he had lost for more than ten years.

Lin Xi's eyes were also a little wet, and it was clear that his childhood memories were very vague, but when he heard Shi Rongfeng's opening, his heart kept shrinking. Can only play a few sign language anxiously.

Shi Rongfeng closed his eyes, leaned over and hugged his long-lost son.

He is also the last blood relative in the world.

Lin Xi was usually afraid of being touched by others, but now his hands hung down, and he lowered his head without struggling.

After a long time, Shi Rongfeng let go of Lin Xi, turned to look at Lu Qingze and Ning Juan, his dignified and stern face looked very calm, except that he just hugged Lin Xi, almost nothing changed, as if he was unmoved. It's just that the sharp eyes narrowed a little: "Your Majesty and the emperor specially searched for the dog and called me back to Beijing, what's the important thing?"

His eyes narrowed, but his aura was still heavy. Although Lin Xi was a little afraid of Ning Juan, he liked Lu Qingze very much. He couldn't help pulling Shi Rongfeng's sleeve, wanting him not to be so fierce towards Lu Qingze.

The majestic General Shi was silent for three seconds, and his tone softened: "Three years ago, I was disheartened, thinking that I would never find a way to return, and I failed his mother's explanation to me before she died..."

Shi Xice was Lin Xi's real name.

General Shi looked at his timid younger son, coughed a few times, no longer insisted, and his voice was hoarse: "I didn't expect the day to meet."

Lu Qing looked at the glimmering light in his eyes, and pulled the corners of his lips: "We do need the general's help, but now you father and son have just met again, so don't worry."

After a pause, he looked at Lin Xi: "Lin Xi, go back to the mansion with the general, don't worry about anything, if you want Xiaodao, I will let Xiaodao go to Wuguo Gongfu to find you."

Lin Xi was still hesitating, but after hearing Lu Qing's words, he hesitated and nodded.

The father and son had just met again, and Shi Rongfeng probably had a lot to say. Ning Juan didn't keep anyone, so he waved his hand and let them go.

The previous chess game was interrupted, Ning Juan was very unhappy, and only now expressed his dissatisfaction: "Didn't I let him wait in the house, what's the hurry?"

Lu Qing raised his eyebrows: "General Shi has been looking for Lin Xi for many years. If you lost someone important, I'm afraid it's even more urgent."

Having said that, Ning Juan secretly glanced at Lu Qingze and understood.

If one day, he loses Lu Qingze, he is afraid that he will be more anxious and crazy than Shi Rongfeng.

But he couldn't possibly lose Lu Qingze.

Just like he couldn't imagine what it would be like when Lu Qingze was not there.

When the power is in his hands, he can hide Lu Qingze, and the beautiful face under the mask is only for him to watch.

The author has something to say:

Lu Qingze: ? Pack your bags and run away

Ning Guoguo: ? Decided to let the teacher review the Mid-Autumn Festival night
