Wei Shu

Xu Qian is here?

Zuo Sishi, one of the two envoys of the Joint Investigation Department, and Xu Qianxu Zuo Si, who never seemed to care about the court affairs, unexpectedly came to Changfengying on his own initiative today?
Lu Shen didn't move his eyebrows, he only nodded to the school principal to show his understanding.

The schoolboy's coat and hat were stained with dew, obviously he had been waiting by the door for a long time, it could be seen that Xu Qian came very early, maybe he arrived before dawn.

Lu Shen inexplicably wanted to laugh.

Over the years, the FBI's external affairs have been a mess, and its internal affairs have mostly been entangled in endless conflicts.The left and right envoys each lead a team, almost like enemies, all their energy is spent on how to defeat each other.

As time went on, there was no longer a place for the Joint Commissioner to speak, inside and outside the court, and the once prestigious first department of the dynasty was now useless.

Only at the three times a month's Great Court Meeting, in the top position of the horizontal squad, the two envoys of the Joint Investigation Department will be in a row without incident.

But today, this old Yasi suddenly regained his previous sensitivity, as if he woke up suddenly from a lethargy.

That red carp pouch still touched the hearts of some people.

A smile gradually welled up in his throat, but in the end, it was unspeakably bitter.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Shen dismounted from his horse, and ordered the junior officer to lead the horse down, but he never went in, but stood alone by the gate of the camp.

The gate of Changfeng Camp is very low and narrow, with the eaves above the head, when the gate is opened, it is barely enough to squeeze into a carriage.

There are many offices and hills, and Changfengying is inconspicuous among them. Only after entering the gate, you will know that this place is much wider than it looks from the outside.

Lu Shen stroked his sleeves with his hand, and turned around the screen wall of the stone tablet formed by the bluestone in front of him. A large school field appeared in front of him, paved with yellow sand, surrounded by fences, surrounded by high walls, and the top of the wall was covered with barbed wire.

The morning light was twilight, and those sharp and shattered iron objects shone coldly, which made Lu Shen couldn't help squinting his eyes.

This schoolyard was originally the Mayuan of the Forbidden City, and there are various bureaucrats on the left and right, all of which were rebuilt from old palaces.

Back then, Emperor Taizu personally delineated the land boundaries, and it took ten years to build a part of the Great Song Palace, which is the dozens of palaces that still exist today.

The part that has not been completed was gradually repaired and completed in the hands of the two officials Gaozong and Xiaozong, and finally fell into decline little by little in the hands of the remaining officials.

In the second year of Jingchu, there was a fire in Bianjing, which burned down many yamen houses near Yujie.The court couldn't afford to renovate the hall, so the officials waved their hands and carved out a large part of the imperial city. Changfengying and other government offices were all moved here, and the imperial palace was reduced to less than half of what it used to be. .

Years of foreign wars and famines continued, and the treasury was no longer able to support it. The government had reduced the cost of the palace a lot. Although this move was helpless, it also lightened the burden on the treasury. At that time, it also won praise from the court.

However, in Lu Shen's view, if the only advantage of the king of a country is frugality, then what good is frugality?
The bitterness in his throat gradually spread between his brows, Lu Shen raised the corners of his lips, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

At this time, the school grounds were dusty and the figures were shaking, but many soldiers were doing morning exercises. The neat queue was either running along the perimeter of the school grounds, or exercising in the circle. Everyone was sweating profusely, and no one was left behind. , No one is sloppy, showing excellent discipline.

Upon closer inspection, there were actually not many people on the field, only more than a hundred people, but it gave the impression that there were thousands of troops and horses, and there was a kind of fierce and brave spirit that was rare in ordinary Song soldiers, and they looked chilling.

If it was normal, Lu Shen would join them in exercising together, but today he had no time for this, so he only glanced at it from a distance, and then turned to a wide road to the west.

The Martial Arts Hall is the big conference hall of the Changfeng camp, the door is locked all the year round, and it is only opened for use at the beginning and end of the year when all the people are discussing.

Right now, the door of the lecture hall is slightly open, and there are a dozen school guards of the Joint Investigation Department standing outside the door, all of them are fierce-looking and powerful, and some of them still have scars on their faces.

Seeing Lu Shen approaching, they immediately surrounded him with unkind expressions, and some of them put their hands on the handle of the knife.

Even though Lu Shen was wearing official robes and a fish bag, there was still a purple-gold sword used by high-ranking military officials hanging from his waist.

"Let him in." A deep voice suddenly came from inside the door.

Everyone retreated immediately, Lu Shen stepped forward slowly, and bowed slightly outside the door: "The official has seen Xu Shizhi."

The Zuo Division of the Joint Investigation Department is the fifth rank, because it is an official directly under the official family, and its position is not high, but Xu Qian's official post is the Tianzhang Pavilion servant system, and the official rank is fourth.According to the practice of this dynasty, the high should not be low, Lu Shen naturally called it "servant system" to show respect.

Seeing Lu Shen greeting him through the door, Xu Qian laughed and scolded inside: "Well, you brat, it's time to talk to me about the rules. Hurry up and get out of here!"

Lu Shen pushed the door open and entered according to his words, but saw Xu Qian standing in the hall.

He didn't wear official robes today, only casual clothes, wide robes with big sleeves, and light shoes, the attire was rather elegant.

It's a pity that he has a majestic figure and a face full of flesh. He used to have a bit of awe-inspiring aura, but now that he is pampered, his figure has become a little fatter, and the flesh on his face has also turned into shaking fat. The scribe's blue shirt is tightly wrapped around his body , Wen is not literary, martial arts is not military, no matter how you look at it, it is awkward.

"Today, I've been resting for a day, and there's nothing to do, so I came to see you." Xu Qian twirled the neatly trimmed beard under his chin, and looked at Lu Shen with a smile, with concern in his eyes:

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but you haven't changed much. You have only been here since last year, and you have never been here again. Your aunt keeps whispering in my ears, let me ask you to go and have a look."

It can be seen that he has a very close relationship with Lu Shen, and his tone of voice is friendly when he speaks. The way he looks at Lu Shen is not so much a superior official looking at his subordinates, but rather an elder looking at his nephew, and the more he looks the more pleasing to the eye.

"I also want to eat the pancakes baked by my aunt." Lu Shen was also smiling, with a look of reminiscence on his face:
"I remember that my aunt always said that my back hurts, and the wolf fur mattress I gave a few years ago seems to be old. I just got a few good leathers recently, and I will send them over when they are tanned, and I will try my aunt's craftsmanship on the way. "

"That sounds like a word." Xu Qian seemed very happy, the flesh on his face was crowded together, and his eyes were almost squeezed out.

He beckoned Lu Shen over, pulled him to sit in the chair, and the two of them pulled up the parents, as if Xu Qian had come to Changfeng camp early in the morning, just to have a look at the junior and have a good talk with him Wen same.

Without saying a few words, the topic somehow turned to Lu Shen's marriage, and Xu Qian teased him with a smile:
"You didn't talk about finding a young lady to start a family. If you continue to delay like this, I'm afraid that group of young ladies will become crazy again."
