On the street outside the door of the Rifle Inn, Chang Yu looked up at the night sky according to the carriage, but the eyes of Lao Hu on the carriage next to him were always sweeping around the streets and alleys, wondering in his heart, will there be people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang in those dark street corners?

He even began to secretly admire his sixth sense, he always felt that it was true that someone was following, and it seemed that he was quite talented in anti-stalking.

"My lord" at this time, Fang San ran out of the inn.

Chang Yu hurriedly greeted him: "Master Shi can ......" He was suddenly stunned as he spoke, but saw two people standing at the door of the inn behind Fang San, a middle-aged man in his forties, and a young man who looked like an entourage.

"Master Shi said that he was afraid of inconvenience in the middle of the night, so he came out in person" Fang San said softly, Chang Yu had already greeted him, and smiled bitterly in his heart,

Avoid arousing suspicion!

Shi Kefa's excuse for the third party outside the Qianqing door was to avoid suspicion, and not letting him enter the room for a meeting at this time was also to avoid suspicion.

After all, a newly appointed secretary of the Ministry of War, who has just arrived in the capital, has not yet figured out the situation, and he doesn't want to get involved in some rights and wrongs, not to mention that the other party is a big boss of Dongchang with a very strong topic.

And he really couldn't understand why this big man of Dongchang was so interested in himself, he couldn't be invited once, but he went out of the palace late at night to meet, there are too many interesting things to play.

To put it simply, he didn't want to get swept into troubled waters as soon as he got to the ground.

"Dare to ask, but Master Shangshushi" Chang Yu approached the middle-aged man, seeing his resolute face, not angry and arrogant, and secretly admired in his heart, the last responsibility of the Ming Dynasty!

"Exactly," Shi Kefa bowed his head and looked at the carriage across the street, "Is the Overseer over there?" He thought Chang Yu was an entourage eunuch.

"Our family Chang Yu, appointed to supervise the East Factory, has seen Lord Shangshu" Chang Yu bowed his hand.

"You, you are ......" Shi Kefa was shocked, the eunuch in front of him was too young, and he actually let the ministers talk about the tiger's color, and the emperor praised the overseer of Dongchang, how did he do it at a young age.

"The overseer is so young, the subordinate officials are really shocked" Shi Kefa felt that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly returned the salute and accused him again and again.

Chang Yu smiled slightly: "Ambition is not old, Xiang Lu (tuo) was respected as a teacher by Sage Kong at the age of seven, Ganluo was a minister at the age of twelve, Wang Bo was able to write poetry at the age of six, Luo Bin Wang was seven years old and sang a goose, and the god of war Huo Qubing was seventeen years old and had led eight hundred tigers and wolves across the desert at the age of seventeen, and became famous in a battle. ”

When Shi Kefa heard this, his heart was shocked again, the eunuchs in the inner palace did not know how to read and ink, and the young man in front of him opened his mouth to list the sages, from literature to martial arts to princes and generals, it can be seen that the history of literature and literature is complete, and the meaning of the words is actually compared with the sages, and I can't help but add a little favor.

"The young man is promising, gratifying and congratulating" Shi Kefa looked at Chang Yu with a smile, and there was already a different color in his eyes: "I don't know what happened to the overseer coming to visit late at night, looking for the next official?" ”

"Lord Shangshu, it's cold outside, why don't we go in and have a cup of warm tea and chat" Chang Yu pointed to the inn and smiled slightly.

Laifu Inn is a star-rated hotel, the front and back yards, although it is late at night, but the door is not closed, there is still a running hall on duty in the store, looking at a few people at the door with a face at the table, the heart said, what are you doing in the middle of the night.

When Shi Kefa heard this, he bowed his hand slightly, and said slightly apologetically: "When the official first arrived in the capital, the melon field and Li Xia still ask the overseer for forgiveness, why don't you chat here at will."

Chang Yu smiled bitterly, Shi Kefa avoided being like this, but he also appreciated his straightforwardness.

"Lord Shangshu is so careful, it's okay, our family is already abrupt today, and the late-night disturbance is already uneasy, so I can't make trouble for the adults anymore" Chang Yu arched his hand.

Shi Kefa smiled slightly: "Forgive me."

He added, "The Overseer came to visit late at night, but there is something important?" ”

"Our family admires Lord Shangshu's name, and I heard that Lord Shang wanted to visit in a few days when he entered Beijing, but our family may be ordered to leave Beijing at any time, and I have to disturb it late at night."

Chang Yu's face was solemn, and Shi Kefa felt that he was not a lie, but he just wondered that he actually had a fan of the overseer of Dongchang, but he was actually surprised, and he said in his mouth: "The day the official entered Beijing, he heard the prestige of the superintendent, and when he saw it today, he was a real hero and a young man."

Oh, Chang Yu seemed to be smiling: "Lord Shangshu has heard of our family's thin name? Is it good or bad? ”

Shi Kefa laughed: "How can the lower officials be the same generation" said with a straight face: "I know people for a long time, but the lower officials and the overseer have no personal relationship, and there is no official relationship......

"Lord Shangshu" Chang Yu interrupted him: "Although we are not ministers in the same palace, we are all contributing to the royal family, even if there is no personal relationship, there will be official contacts, please give more advice in the future."

If you want to clear up the relationship with me, how can it be possible, Chang Yu smiled secretly, since he has taken a fancy to you, he has to entangle you.

"Business dealings?" Shi Kefa frowned.

Chang Yu nodded: "My lord took up the military department, the current internal and external troubles, the pressure is heavy, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not talk about it for the time being, at this time the thieves are in Henan to scourge, dare to ask the adults if they can deal with it, our family has supervised the army in Taiyuan and fought with the thieves before, and I have a little experience......"

"Lord Overseer, internal officials are not allowed to ask about politics and interfere in politics, and forgive officials for not being able to speak" Shi Kefa's face changed suddenly, and his tone was no longer so gentle.

Obviously, there are some rules in Shi Kefa's mind that cannot be changed at will.

Chang Yu was stunned, and then took a long breath: "It's good that internal officials are not allowed to interfere in politics, but our family is the governor of Dongchang, and we should share worries for the emperor, just to provide some details for adults. ”

"If the subordinate is a narrow-minded person, he will not meet the overseer at all," Shi Kefa said.

"That being the case, why did Lord Shangshu refuse to be thousands of miles away?" Chang Yu pressed forward step by step.

Shi Kefa sighed, glanced around, and finally spoke: "The lower official doesn't know the true intention of the governor, whether the emperor sent you, or someone else sent to explore the situation......

Chang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, the officialdom is as deep as the sea, intrigues, deceit, making everyone self-endangered, and fortified everywhere. I didn't even dare to say a word.

"Lord Shangshu, there is something we want to ask you."

"Overseer, please speak", Shi Kefa squinted in confusion.

"Dare to ask my lord, how did my Ming country get to where it is now?"

"This ......" Shi Kefa unexpectedly asked Chang Yu this question: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters, accumulation ......"

"It's okay to have a natural disaster, but this man-made disaster can't be endured" Chang Yu roared: "On the temple, rotten wood is an official; Between the palaces and majestys, birds and beasts eat Lu. So that the wolf-hearted dogs, the turbulent dynasty, the servants and servants, have been in power, so that the community has become a ruin, and the common people have suffered from misery! On the occasion of this national crisis, what is Shangshu going to do? ”

Shi Kefa looked at Chang Yu dumbfounded, speechless.

After a long time, he shook his head with a wry smile: "Shouldn't Lord Overseer like to watch the Water Margin more when he is young?" On the contrary, he is very familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

Chang Yu exhaled and said with a strong face: "Humanitarian: I don't look at the Three Kingdoms, I don't look at the Water Margin, our family is not interested in the drama of those grass-headed thieves, and I only love those generals who gallop on the battlefield" The angry passage he just now was quoted from the passage in which Zhuge Liang scolded Wang Lang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Shi Kefa is familiar with the hundred schools of thought, and he knows it, and Chang Yu finally asked him, how will you deal with it if you are the secretary of the military department?

"From this point of view, the governor is concerned about the fortunes of the country, and the pattern is far beyond the measurement of the ministers in the court, and the lower officials are disrespectful." Shi Kefa waved his hand slightly

Chang Yu returned the salute and said: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, although our family is a waste, but the body is not disabled, the wish of the lifetime, where the sun and the moon shine, where the rivers go, are all Han land!" ”

"The overseer has such ambitions, and the subordinate officials previously underestimated you, but in fact, they have no eyes"! Shi Kefa's eyes lit up, he took a step forward and walked into Chang Yu, stretched out his hands and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "At this point, Xia Guan finally understands why you are so young and you are favored by the emperor."

Lord Shangshu praised falsely, Chang Yu bowed his hand: "It's the responsibility of the husband"

Shi Kefa nodded vigorously: "The young man is powerful, not arrogant or impatient, talented and virtuous, both civil and military, in fact, the dragon and phoenix among the people, if the rumors are really not credible, he has been prescribed for a long time, although we can't see each other for tea, but the lower officials believe that they are not blind, the overseer is a person who does practical things!" ”

Being recognized as a particularly encouraging thing, Chang Yu nodded gratefully: "Before, our family was in a hurry to see Lord Shangshu for some reason, but now I understand that it was for Mingzhi!" My lord asked me who sent me, but I actually wanted to come."

Shi Kefa smiled slightly: "Why is it a lower official?"

"On the temple, the civil and military ministers are all rotten, but the backbone of the adult is strong, in fact, I am the last reliance of the Ming Dynasty, I hope that the Lord can abandon prejudice against me, walk together through wind and rain, save the common people and the fire and water, and revitalize the majesty of the Ming Dynasty!" Chang Yu said with a solemn face clenching his fists.

Shi Kefa's face was solemn, he never thought that he was going to form a party with the big boss of Dongchang before he arrived in the capital for less than a day? It's really an accident, and there are too many pressures and uncertainties, he is not an officialdom, so naturally he won't dig out his heart and lungs with Chang Yu's words, but the person in front of him is really a good talent, and he can't bear to miss it.

"Lord Overseer, the night is dark, the day is not early, let's talk here at night, if it is seen by someone who cares, tomorrow will be full of wind and rain in the city, if it is empty tomorrow, how about going to the yamen of the military department to tell it again?"

Chang Yu was secretly happy, Shi Kefa said this, which means that he has let down his guard against himself and asked him to go to the yamen of the Ministry of War to chat, which means that it may not be feasible for the time being, but you can contact it from official business first.

"Also, the night is dark, Lord Shangshu is tired from a long journey, so disturbing and uneasy, our family will leave first, if Ming'er is free, I will go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to find the Lord to drink tea" Chang Yu bowed and said goodbye, turned around and left.

Shi Kefa watched him get into the car and leave, disappearing, still staring at the darkness. Da Ming actually had such a character, it was actually unexpected, and what was even more surprising was that he admired himself so much, and he was respectful in his words and deeds.
