Chapter 173 Arrival in Beijing, the rebound of the literati group(1/2)
On the morning of September 28, the 14th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Changqing, Ergou, Wang Anshan and other personal guards, officially embarked on the road of reward in the capital with Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei.
Although he had reached a compromise with Bai Guangen, Xu Changqing was not really at ease with Bai Guangen.
Moreover, Jizhen has not had a good public security in recent years. Thanks to the Qing army's several visits to the pass, there were many bandits in the mountains, so Xu Changqing left Zhao Zengjin and other elite troops to guard Xujiazhuang.
Over the past few days, Zhao Zengjin and Erya have become "deep and hot", and it is almost time to reach the point. Just when Xu Changqing has finished giving the reward, he can formally propose marriage to Erya's family when he comes back.
At this time, the light car was a little weaker Xia'er, and Xu Changqing and his group were also kept in Xujiazhuang.
On the evening of the second day of the October 2nd, the towering capital city quietly appeared in front of you.
Outside the magnificent Guangqu Gate.
Xu Changqing did not rush into the city, but silently stared at this historical city full of spiritual primitiveness, without saying anything for a long time and without any action.
Until the city gate was about to close, the group of people went into the city.
According to the convention of the state, the border generals could bring up to 500 personal soldiers to Beijing. If there were too many, they would have to stay outside the city. Xu Changqing only had more than 100 people at this time, so there was no need to be such trouble.
Wu Xiang was in the capital at this time. Because of Wu Sanmei, Wu Xiang had already received news that he had already booked a big house for Xu Changqing and his group in the inner city. All kinds of supplies were complete, and the chef was ready, so he didn't even have to live in the inn.
After half an hour, it was getting dark, and I was lying comfortably on the comfortable lounge chair in front of the main hall of Mingshifang House, feeling the quiet and comfortable evening breeze, and Xu Changqing was also relaxed and comfortable.
Before he knew it, he had already entered the powerful class of the Ming Dynasty.
Even though many things are leveraging external forces at this time, things are not necessarily the best, but this sense of comfort makes Xu Changqing feel a little moved.
This is the case in this era. It is conceivable that if future generations can reach this level of magnitude, what scale will it be.
However, although the overall situation was quite smooth at this time, the matter about the Lord was gone, which made Xu Changqing feel a little uneasy.
If we go a few years later, things like Lords are actually not very important. After all, they are just idle positions and empty positions, and they cannot be done by non-real noble children.
But at this time, the situation has changed. The Lord is not only valuable, but also valuable!
Especially if the Qing army cannot be prevented from entering the pass, after entering the Southern Ming Dynasty!
However, if you are forced to do this, you can only use cleverness and follow the trend.
Cao Bianjiao, Wang Pu, Yang Guozhu, Li Fuming and others have already arrived in Beijing at this time and must have a meal together. For specific discussions, after all, it is very likely that the emperor will summon him in advance for everyone to come to Beijing this time.
Including Wu Xiang, the old Taishan, had to visit him, and the Ministry of War Wuxuan Qing Literature Department, had to report on him. Xu Changqing didn't have much real leisure time.
Fortunately, there are benefits tonight.
And it's a big benefit...
Wu Sanmei has returned to Wu's mansion at this time. Tonight, Xu Changqing can have a good conversation with Li Youwei in life and talk about her ideals...
...
In the early morning, Xu Changqing woke up on time. Looking at the jade-like person beside him, a warm smile appeared on the corner of Xu Changqing's mouth.
Even if he couldn't really do something, Li Youwei's intelligence still made Xu Changqing very comfortable.
And when you open your eyes, you can see your beloved person. Is there any more to say about this feeling?
Gently helped Li Youwei, who was like a kitten, cover her quilt and gently kiss her smooth forehead. Xu Changqing put on her clothes, carefully went out, began to move her body, and prepared for many high-intensity affairs today.
At this time, although Xu Changqing was already famous all over the world and was hailed as the number one general of the Ming Dynasty. Almost everyone knew it, everyone knew it, but Xu Changqing really had no way to go in Beijing...
No one knows.
Not to mention those big guys who can really help you.

So, after careful consideration, Xu Changqing decided to follow the rules and report to the Ministry of War first.
However, Xu Changqing would definitely not go there by himself when he reported to him. After all, he was not familiar with the place in the capital and could not find a way for a while.
Li Youwei, who was very tired last night, briefly moved her body and stood at attention. Xu Changqing took Ergou and more than a dozen personal soldiers to go directly to the Datong Association not far from here.
That’s right, I’ll find Wang Pu to lead the way.
When he arrived at the Datong Guild Hall, Ergou informed Xu Changqing's name. The people at the Datong Guild Hall immediately felt awe-in, and hurriedly invited Xu Changqing in and informed Wang Pu.
It seems that Wang Pu is still quite worthy of face among Datong people.
Wang Pu hasn't yet gotten up. He finally came to the capital and made such great achievements. How could he not enjoy it if he wanted a great reward?
Anyway, Boss Wang is not short of this little money.
Wang Pu was woken up from his sleep by his slave, which made the beauty beside him hum repeatedly. But when he heard that it was Xu Changqing who came, the sleepiness and laziness of this guy disappeared. He just got up quickly and ignored the resentful little eyes of the beauty beside him.
Soon, Wang Pu, who was clean and clean, quickly came out and gave Xu Changqing a hug, laughing: "Brother, I said, brother, how did you pick gold bricks last night? It turned out that you are here, brother!"
Seeing that Wang Pu's oily and floury noodles had obviously eaten a lot of meat than before, he must have lived a very good life these days. Xu Changqing smiled and hugged Wang Pu and said, "There is something wrong in my hometown, I have been delayed for a few days. How about it, brother, have you been in Beijing these days?
While speaking, the two of them sat down separately. The pretty maid brought the fragrant tea. Wang Pu waved his hand and held everyone away. A trace of darkness appeared on his happy face: "It's generally not bad, but the Lord's business..."
Wang Pu glanced around vigilantly, and saw that no one was there, then whispered: "Brother, it seems that something happened in the court, and it's a bit difficult for us to do."
"Oh? Brother, what happened?"
Xu Changqing remained silent.
Wang Pu frowned and said, "I can't say anything about it for a while, brother, it seems that someone wants to suppress us. You can give rewards, but not to the Lord. This matter is said to be very terrifying, and the cabinet has been quarreled. Oh, it's a pity that my brother is limited in ability and I can't capture more useful news for a while. Is it really uncomfortable? Brother, if he has a certain letter, they have to feed them with silver."
Xu Changqing nodded slowly.
Although this incident is a bit unexpected, it is reasonable.
After all, if only one uncle is enthroned at a time, even if many civil officials are unhappy, it is not easy to stop them.
However, four uncles came out all of a sudden, which was not fun, and it was certain that the literati group rebounded!
It is normal for Wang Pu to find the "cause of the disease" for a while.
"Brother, this matter is difficult, and it is simple and simple. Don't worry. By the way, has the emperor summoned you and Uncle Cao?"
Wang Pu suddenly felt bitter, "Not yet. I came five days ago and was waiting for the emperor to summon him. But there was nothing to say."
Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry. Today is the third year of junior high school, so it should be almost too. By the way, where is Uncle Cao now? Have you contacted him? I just came yesterday and was still dark."
Seeing Xu Changqing calm and calm, he was still as calm as before, and he was so at ease, Wang Pu gradually relaxed and talked about Lao Cao's affairs.
Lao Cao was obviously not as good as Wang Pu at this time. He had the Datong Guild Hall to lean on and would do whatever he wanted.
Lao Cao is an introvert and not good at talking. He is not very familiar with the Shaanxi Guild Hall in his hometown. In addition, this veteran is used to living a hard life and always wants to save money. Now he is staying in a hotel in Caishikou.
Xu Changqing was a little speechless when he heard this.
Lao Cao is really a bit... lost...
However, to some extent, this is not a bad thing.
If you see it for the emperor Chongzhen, who has common preferences, you should like it.
But Xu Changqing could not imitate this.

After talking to Wang Pu for a while, Xu Changqing explained his purpose.
Wang Pu laughed: "Brother, what else do I think of? Is this hard to say? Let's eat something first and go over immediately, it should be just right!"
...
Of course, I would not be polite with Wang Pu and Xu Changqing. I had enough food and drink comfortably. A group of dozens of people quickly arrived at the Ministry of War and happened to catch up with the Ministry of War to work.
Wang Pu was the general soldier very early and had been here several times. He was familiar with the road and made several silver notes. He soon entered with Xu Changqing.
It's a bit funny to say.
At this time, most of the officials in Beijing had to go to court, which was not as good as those of these big yamen experiences, governors and other small bureaucrats.
Wang Pu and Xu Changqing used silver to make the way. In addition, Xu Changqing's name was as well-known as thunder at this time, and the process in the Ministry of War was very smooth.
Xu Changqing not only formally created a book in the Ministry of War, but also received two bright official robes.
Just as the two brothers left the gate of the Ministry of War and Wang Pu suggested finding a place to have some wine and have some fun, the Ministry of War had quickly passed the news to the palace.
Xu Changqing originally wanted to meet Lao Cao first, and by the way, meet those old acquaintances of Yang Guozhu and Li Fuming.
Hong Chengchou, Qiu Minyang, Zhang Ruoqi, Wu Sangui and others have not come yet because the things in Liao are not finished yet, but the great dynasty is coming soon and they should be on the way.
But Wang Pu proposed this kind of thing, and Xu Changqing himself was also very interested in the brothels in the Ming Dynasty. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded.
When the water is clear, there will be no fish!
In the context of the country, it is definitely not the choice of a wise man to show himself everywhere.
The Ministry of War is not far from the famous red light district of the capital, the eight great hutongs of the Qing Dynasty in later generations. Soon, Xu Changqing and Wang Pu changed their clothes and arrived in a systematic manner outside the famous Mingyue Tower.
Mingyuelou is a leader in the same industry in Beijing. It has a long history and has been around for hundreds of years. It has produced several well-known courtesans.
Wang Pu would definitely treat him to such a thing, so he naturally had to choose the best one and not lose face, right?
Xu Changqing looked at the ancient and majestic Mingyue Tower, and his curiosity couldn't help but rise.
In later generations, people often joked on the Internet that the traditional culture of China was extremely lacking. When the ancients went to brothels, they drank tea, recited poems, wrote essays, talked about life, and thoughts, and had a common language before going to the next step.
