Lu Qibai met the Duke of Longxi, and then went to Qingfeng Residence on Mahang Street. He met Yang Hong at Qingfeng Residence. After chatting together, he got a piece of information. Shi Zhongfei might meet with Miss Fourteenth in the near future. marriage. The news of Shi Zhongfei's marriage to Miss Fourteen was expected by Lu Qi. Shi Zhongfei would have to return to Beiting after the New Year. Once he went there, he would not be able to return to Kaifeng Mansion easily. After marrying Miss Fourteen, he could bring Fourteen with him. The young lady went to Beiting, settled down in Beiting, and gave birth to offspring. In fact, Shi Zhongfei was considered a man who married late. When Lu Qi was about to leave Qingfeng Residence, he didn't expect to run into an acquaintance at the door of the building. The acquaintance had a square face, triangular eyes, and a stab wound on his left cheek. The cloth robe he was wearing turned out to be Wen Yu, whom he had met in Shidai County. The guard of Dali Temple in the Tang Dynasty and the Zuoduwei of Raozhou. When the two met for the first time, they were both startled. Then Lu Qi smiled and said kindly: "Brother Wen." Wen Yu hurriedly bowed and said: "Master Lu, meet Mr. Lu." "Okay, why are you being polite to me? " Lu Qi said with a smile, and lightly punched Wen Yu's left shoulder. However, Wen Yu still looked at Lu Qi cautiously. Lu Qi stretched out his hand to grab Wen Yu and said with a smile: "Brother Wen, let's go have a drink and reminisce about the past." He went up to the second floor and entered the private room. When mixing vegetables, Lu Qi and Wen Yu sat across from each other. He took a pot and poured wine for Wen Yu. Wen Yu hurriedly leaned over and took the glass with both hands. After Lu Qi poured it himself, he raised his glass with a smile and drank with Wen Yu. . Putting down the glass, Wen Yu hurriedly stood up to pour the wine. Lu Qi asked, "Why is Brother Wen also here in Dazhou?" "Xiaguan came with Lord Wei Hao." Wen Yu replied respectfully. Lu Qi shook his head and said: "Brother Wen, we are old friends. There is no need to be different here." Wen Yu hesitated and said: "Your Excellency is now the Minister of Rites and the General of Huaihua. It is rude to lower your rank." Lu Qiyi lowered his head, then raised his head and smiled: "Am I much taller than Brother Wen in this robe?" Wen Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Brother Lu, if you don't mind, I'll just be rude here. " Lu Qi smiled, raised his glass and drank again with Wen Yu. He put down the glass and poured it. The two took chopsticks to eat the braised pork and swallowed the meat. Lu Qi said: "I heard about Wei Hao in Xifeng Tower. It was said that he was returning with honor, but it surprised me. It was after the king surrendered that Master Wei Hao told me the truth and asked me if I wanted to be surrendered. For the sake of my family¡¯s safety, I decided to do so. If you are willing to submit, you will come to Zhou Dynasty with Sir Wei Hao. If you do not submit to Mr. Wei Hao, I will surrender," Wen Yu explained. Lu Qi nodded understandingly and asked: "Since it is a surrender, Brother Wen should be put in a good position." Wen Yu shook his head and said: "I have not been put into any good use. I was just left in Kaifeng Mansion. Now I am affiliated with the Infantry Division. The commander, but he is just idle. Even Master Wei Hao has not been reused. He is an official in Dali, mainly because he has no merit. " Lu Qi nodded and said: "Brother Wen came to see me intentionally. " Wen Yu nodded. , said: "I would like to ask if I can become your subordinate and serve you. You have the official position of Commander-in-Chief of the Infantry Department." Lu Qi shook his head and said: "I have the official position of Commander-in-Chief of the Infantry Department. It's just a false position and it doesn't interfere with the power of the Infantry Division." Wen Yu nodded calmly and said, "I know that too, so I don't have high hopes." Lu Qi nodded and asked, "Have you asked Wei Hao?" " Wen Yu smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, Sir Wei Hao's life is not easy. Sir Wei Hao has no backer in Dazhou, and he has not been recommended by Zhao Kuangyin. Now he is just a decoration in Dali Temple. " Lu Qi nodded and said: "Although I am a general, if I submit a letter to adjust your affiliation, most likely it will be rejected. Moreover, the west is a bitter land, and you may not be able to get used to it." "Brother Lu, I am a warrior, and I am not afraid of suffering. "Yes, I am here like a mouse all day long. I am afraid that I will harm my relatives if I escape, and it is like being in jail if I stay. It is very difficult," Wen Yu said bitterly. Lu Qi nodded and said: "Since eldest brother has come to beg me, I will find a way out for him." "Brother, I thank you in advance." Wen Yu saluted and said solemnly. Lu Qi nodded and said: "Brother, did you blame Wei Hao? Now that the generals and ministers of Zhou Dynasty have come, they have basically been released as county captains." Wen Yu shook his head after hearing this and said: "I don't blame Wei Hao. Mr. Hao, it was my own decision to surrender. Moreover, when I came to Kaifeng Mansion, I also obtained the official position of commander. In terms of status, my status is definitely higher than that of the county lieutenant. Moreover, the county lieutenant who was let go has basically no good place, not the northern border. It's the western border." Lu Qi nodded and asked, "What do you want, brother?"He smiled bitterly and said: "I want to go back to Jiangnan, but I definitely can't. And in Kaifeng Mansion, I can't get along at all. Brother, if you have the ability, you can take me to the west. I am the commander and can lead it." First Battalion." Lu Qi shook his head and said, "I said, I don't have the power to change your affiliation." Wen Yu hesitated, then said, "Brother, please help me. As long as you don't idle, I will." I came from the south of the Yangtze River and didn¡¯t bring a lot of money. Now in Kaifeng Mansion, it¡¯s hard to drink. I don¡¯t have any real salary.¡± Lu Qi smiled and nodded. The official positions in Zhou State are divided into casual officials, official officials, honorary officials and false officials. , and only the official position has a real salary to receive, the other three official positions have a fixed salary much lower than the official position. Lu Qi's Minister of Rites all command envoys to be virtual officials and have no salary to receive. General Huaihua is a casual official, but He received half of the official salary. The Duke of the Western Jin Dynasty was granted a military title. Lu Qi was able to receive the full military salary. In fact, Lu Qi had no official salary. He gave the Hexi Protector to Yang Kun, and his Xuanfu envoy was not part of the official salary. Officials also have no salary. However, Wen Yu's commanders were virtual officials and had no real salary to receive. The salary they could receive could only be the salary of casual officials. However, the salary of casual officials in Zhou State was very low, and if they did not retire, they could only receive half of it. With the official salary and salary, it is conceivable that Wen Yu's livelihood in Kaifeng Mansion must be difficult, and it is really difficult to drink. Lu Qi raised his glass to drink with Wen Yu, then put down his glass and said, "Brother Wen, I will write you a recommendation first. You go and ask His Highness King Ji to find you a real job." Wen Yu's eyes lit up. , nodded hurriedly and said: "Okay, thank you brother." Lu Qiyi smiled and said: "Brother Wen and I have a relationship, and I always remember that Brother Wen once helped me when I was in Jiangning." "Brother, It's just a small matter, I just defended you in front of Mr. Xing." Wen Yu said with a smile. Lu Qiyi was startled and asked: "Could it be that Master Xing was listening when I was talking to eldest brother that time?" Wen Yu nodded and said, "Master Xing is next door." Lu Qi listened thoughtfully, and after a while, he He asked: "Master Xing, are you still in Jiangnan?" "No, Master Xing also came to Dazhou with that county prince, and now he is in that county prince's mansion." Wen Yu replied with scruples. Lu Qiwei was startled and asked, "Where is Master Xia?" "Dazhou has also come, and all the eunuchs who have official positions in Jiangning Palace have come with Dazhou. There must be dozens of them." Wen Yu answered. Lu Qi nodded, raised his glass to drink with Wen Yu, put down the glass, and the waiter brought in the fragrant hot dishes. Lu Qi smiled and said: "Brother Wen, please relax." Wen Yu nodded in agreement and began to eat and drink. Lu Qi also accompanied him generously. While eating and drinking, Lu Qi continued to learn more information. After half an hour, Wen Yu was already full. Lu Qiyao came to the Four Treasures of the Study, wrote a letter, and then let Wen Yu read it. Wen Yu took it and looked at it carefully, and saw that the content of the letter was: "Your Majesty, Lu Tianfeng, writes to recommend His Highness King Ji. Wen Yu is here with me at Shidai." We have a relationship with the county, and I would like to ask your highness to find a regular job placement. There is also a eunuch named Xing in the Qinghe County government who has been kind to me. If your highness can do your best, I hope to help you get him out of the Qinghe County government office. " Wen Yu looked at him and thanked him quickly. Lu Qi said gently: "When the elder brother meets His Highness King Ji, he must not say that he helped me in Jiangning. Just say that we met on official business in Shidai County, but he cannot say that he killed the official detective of Zhou Dynasty. "Brother, don't worry, I'll take care of it," Wen Yu responded. Lu Qi nodded and explained: "I asked His Highness Prince Ji to place you in order to avoid suspicion. If the eldest brother is not satisfied, I will try my best." Wen Yu nodded and said gratefully: "Brother, if you can remember the past and help me, I am satisfied and will be grateful." Lu Qiyi smiled and said: "Brother and I can't talk about our friendship, otherwise my recommendation will be counterproductive." Wen Yu was startled, and then said seriously: "I. Understood." Lu Qi stood up with a smile, sent Wen Yu away, and then returned to the mansion.
