Chengpingfang, Dongcheng, Chengguofu.

After the founding of the country by Emperor Gaozu, he rewarded meritorious officials, and each of the nine princes had a magnificent mansion located in each square of the east city. In the second year of Jianping of Zhongzong, the Chu government was accused of conspiracy to rebel.

Chunqiu defected to the Southern Zhou Dynasty with his descendants and soldiers, and the clansmen who stayed in Kyoto were almost slaughtered.

Since then, there have been only eight royal palaces in Kyoto.

In the second year of Renxuan, Wang Pingzhang was awarded the title of Duke of Wei, and the number of Nine Dukes was restored.

Looking down from the sky above Kyoto East Castle, you will find a very interesting scene.

Each of the nine Guogong Mansion occupies one square, implying the shape of nine palaces. Zhuquefang, where Dingguo Mansion is located, is located in the middle, and Taipingfang, where Chengguo Mansion is located, is located due north, close to the palace city.

Chengguo Jiuquan was a Confucian general. Compared with Pei Yuan, the Duke of Dingguo who was invincible in martial arts, although he also had superb martial arts, he preferred reading in his spare time. His military skills seemed ordinary, but he was good at grass snakes.

The gray line is spread out for thousands of miles. When the enemy realizes that the situation is not right, there is no room for maneuver to save it.

Lu Min was a poor ancestor. Back then, he was not as eye-catching among the noble disciples. He was not even as eye-catching as Gu Liang, who was a concubine. More than twenty years later, Lu Min, who was over forty years old, will be the one who was that year.

The competitors are far behind him. Now he has been awarded the title of First Class Cheng'an Marquis, and he lives in Youjunji, Xifu. He also has the support of many noble generals behind him. He is already the second person in the Daliang military under Wang Pingzhang.

All the important officials in the court knew that Lu Min's position should actually belong to Pei Rong. Unfortunately, Pei Zhen died too early, and Pei Rong was unable to hold up the wall, which led to the transfer of authority.

Lu Min seems to be quiet, but in fact he has a very solid foundation in the military. Just look at his resume and you will know that he did not get the military position by luck. He was born in the 20th year of Taihe, Emperor Taizong's reign, and was fifteen years old.

Joining the army, he also started as a soldier in the army, and successively served as a sentry, guerrilla, commander, commander, commander of the Guping camp in the west, commander of the Qinian camp in the south, commander of the Chengjing camp, and right military aircraft of the Xifu Military Academy.

It can be seen from this long list of official positions that Lu Min has served in all important positions in the Daliang military. Compared with Gu Liang, he had a better background and his military achievements were not weak, so he joined the Xifu instead of Gu Liang.

Liang.

What only made the family friends regretful and Emperor Kaiping somewhat relieved was that Lu Jiang, the eldest son of Lu Min, seemed to have not learned any of his father's wealth and abilities. At the age of twenty, he was still an incompetent playboy.

Even though Lu Min sent him to the Western Border Army two years ago, he still had not washed away the aura of stupidity in his body.

The morning sun shines through the dense leaves, shaking on the ground like mottled gold.

In the study room of Chengguo Mansion, Lu Min was sitting at the table. In his hand was a secret letter that the messenger could not understand even if he opened it secretly.

The words on the letter are very simple, there are no weird and unusual words, but when combined together, it makes people confused. The title of the letter is "Qi Yi", and the first sentence is "Liang Yun Gu Song Lu Zhi Shan Ke Wu"

"Xun", this is the sentence pattern from now on. This is obviously a secret letter written in a unique way, and only those who know the rules can understand it.

Lu Min looked at the secret letter with slightly cold eyes.

After a while, he put the secret letter into the hand stove next to him, watched the letter paper being burned to ashes, and then smashed the ashes into pieces, unable to find a single word in it.

A burst of anxious footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the study. Lu Min stood up and walked out of the study, and saw his wife Lin coming, accompanied by two maids.

"Master, Jiang Er is awake." Mrs. Lin stepped forward and saluted, looking a little sad.

Lu Min responded and said dissatisfiedly: "It is common for Wu Xun's disciples to fight against others. Since he is not dead, he is not missing arms or legs. He will be fine after being nursed for a while. Why do you need to be so sad?"

Mrs. Lin did not dare to disobey him, so she could only say aggrievedly: "Master, having said that, the Pei family's attack was too harsh! Jiang'er was almost broken by him. If there is really something good about him, I will be the concubine in the future.

Who do you want me to go to? Just that one blow on the face knocked out three of Jiang Er's teeth and completely ruined her appearance. How can I arrange a good marriage for Jiang Er in the future?"

Lu Min frowned and said: "He is a martial artist, not a hooker, so what if he loses his appearance? As long as he strives for his best, even if he has a few scars on his face, there will be many good women who want to marry him in the future."

Mrs. Lin naturally understands these principles, but how can she treat the so-called mother-child connection with a normal mind? When she saw Lu Jiang being carried back last night, she almost fainted on the spot. Although the doctor said there was nothing serious, she felt sad in her heart.

Pei Yue hated Pei Yue to the extreme for committing such a heavy blow.

"Master, I also understand these truths, but Jiang'er is your eldest son and will inherit the title in the future. If you allow others to humiliate and beat you like this, it will always harm your reputation." Lin said with tears in her eyes.

With.

Lu Min asked expressionlessly: "Do you want me to go find Pei Yue and take action?"

Not to mention whether doing this will cause criticism, Lu Min himself cannot afford to disgrace this person - the dignified military master. Just because his son lost a duel, he has to go into battle to bully the small. He will definitely become

The laughingstock among the elite circles in Kyoto.

Mrs. Lin was not confused at all, and quickly shook her head and said: "Although I am a woman, how can I be so stupid? I just recently heard that your Majesty intends to hold a sutra banquet and a military meeting next month. The former has nothing to do with our noble generals.

, but isn’t this military meeting a good opportunity?”

Lu Min turned to stare at his wife, his expression getting colder.

Mrs. Lin was very afraid of her husband. When she saw this, she lowered her head and said with a forced smile: "Master, one of the martial arts discussions is the martial arts debate in the martial arts hall. All noble children under the age of twenty-five in the capital must participate, and the Pei family is also among them.

Lie. Although it is not convenient for me to take action, there are so many young talents under my command, why not send a few people to teach the Pei family a lesson?"

Lu Min said coldly: "Where did you hear this news?"

Mrs. Lin suddenly remembered a rule in the mansion, her face turned slightly pale, she quickly shook her head and said: "Master, I didn't mean to inquire about it, I accidentally heard it from the servants in the mansion."

Lu Min turned around and walked back to the study, saying indifferently: "You can go back and take care of Jiang Er. Whoever you hear the news from will be asked to go to the front yard to receive family law. If anyone dares to discuss state affairs in the house again, I will not take it lightly.

Rao."

"Yes, sir."

Lin's legs and feet felt a little weak, so she slowly left with the help of two maids.

Lu Min didn't take this matter to heart. After Lin left, he walked to the inner room of the study, closed the door and went to the west wall.

In front of him is a standing cabinet.

Lu Min moved the cabinet away very gently. There was a mechanism under the cabinet, so it didn't take much effort.

The wall here was hollowed out three feet square.
