Out of the imperial study, it was already dark, and the little north wind blew the little eunuch in front of him with a lantern that illuminated the road, which may also be the reason why he hadn't eaten for a day, coupled with the confusing light, Lu Hanqiang felt a little dizzy.
Tighten your official belt, let the rumbling of your stomach stop a little, and walk a few steps in the hope of getting out of the palace and rushing home, no, now the family is still waiting for him to have dinner.
Wang Chengen walked in front to lead the way, of course he heard the cheer of Lu Hanqiang's stomach, and turned his head with a smile and whispered: "But I am hungry Lu Banyu, but I am also a temporary errand, and the rest will naturally be served by someone Long live, since you are sent out of the palace, it is just right, how about we go outside and sit together."
Now Wang Chengen is already the first eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, and he really sits in the position of the eunuch who is the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the palm print, that is, the position of the inner minister, although the power is not as smoked as Wei Zhongxian, but at least in this palace, everyone has to look at his eyes and act, so his stature is also high.
Since he became the prime minister, according to the convention, there is no need to follow the emperor every day, the emperor naturally has a new steward and eunuch in charge, and Wang Chengen also bought a private house in the imperial city near the palace, raised a group of maids and servants, usually in the palace to review the cabinet sent by the folds, at night, back to his private house for the night.
For the current hot Chongzhen celebrity, of course Lu Hanqiang can't be offended, besides, he said such a big deal, and finally gave up the power of the head of the royal post delivery firm without hesitation, then, according to what he just said, this royal post delivery firm naturally fell into the hands of these eunuchs, this is not the brocade guard of the brocade guard, this is the fat shortage of millions of silver income a year, Wang Chengen invited himself to have a meal, it should be, in fact, he still wants to help himself.
Out of the palace, Wang Chengen simply instructed the eunuch who was waiting for him to come out with a few words, and then turned right with Lu Hanqiang.
Not far from the root of the imperial city, there is a small alley, and there are more than 30 restaurants in the alley.
And these restaurants are absolutely elegant, ingenious, each with a different flavor, north and south dishes, east and west snacks, and the guys in each small shop are absolutely well-trained, attentive but reserved, decent but never too much, even if you are a long-time customer, but also definitely show a kind of life.
What is the reason for him, here is close to the root of the imperial city, the officials of the court every day have empty stomachs, some have things, there is no way, but, as long as it is not too urgent, everyone has to gather here for a drink, one to fill the stomach, and the other is to exchange views on what has just happened in the court, or call for help, or continue to chase and fight, anyway, this is the favorite place for officials, therefore, the requirement here is that the environment should be comfortable, and the little two should be tight.
Lao Yang's roasted wheat is an authentic Shaanxi restaurant, Lu Hanqiang and Wang Chengen came together, and saw the lantern lit at his door from a distance, under the lantern, there was a neatly dressed young man standing in a regular manner, but there was absolutely no restaurant outside to see people from afar, so he raised his voice to solicit the noise, just stood with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, with a professional smile on his face.
It wasn't until King Lu and the others came close and stopped that Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "The two masters want to eat."
Wang Chengen nodded with a smile, turned his face to Lu Hanqiang and introduced: "The haggis of the old Yang family is a must in this capital, and there is also braised beef, which is also the first in taste, the chef's skills are excellent, and the knife work is good, why don't we have a drink here" Out of the palace, Wang Chengen no longer has the appearance of a servile face, and he has the dignity of an inner minister.
Now even if he introduces the dishes of this restaurant to Lu Hanqiang like this, there is a sense of detachment in his tone.
Lu Hanqiang smiled and arched his hand: "Since the inner minister thinks that this place is good, then it will follow the meaning of the inner minister."
"Since you have a treat, of course you have to make the host happy, and you can't say that you can order a few more dishes, which is the consciousness that the person who is invited should have.
Wang Chengen, who was called from time to time in a sentence, was full of joy, and his chest was even shy.
Turning to the little second who lowered his eyebrows and was not surprised, he ordered: "Go find a quiet place and get a few of the good dishes you are good at here." ” "Yes.
Two adults, please.
The young man bowed and stepped aside.
While walking inside, Wang Chengen smiled at the obedient young man and said, "Tell the shopkeeper to tell the cook to work harder, and when the two of us have fun, I will have a reward here." ” "Thank you, sir."
The young man still didn't show a trace of joy in thanking, and then led the two into a private room inside, and after saying goodbye, he retreated, and reported Wang Chengen's instructions to the shopkeeper inside, and then the knives and spoons in the kitchen rang out, and all kinds of dishes were prepared.
The private room is not big, absolutely clean and chic, there are no windows, the door is thick, the light in the room is mainly leaning on the lamp, but it is definitely not dim and depressing, but there is a warm feeling, such an arrangement, there will never be a word to flow out, it is indeed a good place to discuss the conspiracy of the whole person.
"Come on, Lu Banyu and sit down."
Wang Chengen smiled and stretched out his hand to let the guest go.
Lu Hanqiang said with a smile: "I am determined to eat the prime minister fiercely today, you are the master, of course you have to take the seat, this is also the rule." ” For Lu Hanqiang's respect, Wang Chengen was very useful, and he felt that he had been wronged in front of Lu Hanqiang, so he was polite again and sat down, and as soon as the two sat down, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Wang Chengen shouted loudly: "Come in."
"It's not loud, it's not good, this heavy door has a very good sound insulation effect, and you won't come in and disturb without the owner's consent outside."
As Wang Chengen called in, it was still the little two who came in lightly, holding a teapot and a towel board, followed by a guy with a basin of clean hands, and the young man who took the lead asked for instructions: "The dishes ordered by the two masters have been prepared, but do you want to serve them?"
Wang Chengen nodded: "It's not good to be hungry early, hurry up."
Then he turned his head and asked Lu Hanqiang, "What kind of wine to drink?"
Lu Hanqiang thought for a while, "Since this is a shop opened by the boss from Shaanxi, I think there should be barley wine." ” The young man bent down and said, "As the adults said, our store has the most authentic barley wine, which is brewed by the virgin, and the taste is not good." ” Lu Hanqiang laughed, there is no difference whether the wine is brewed virgin or handled by an old lady, it is just a gimmick, but this is just to increase the price several times, but today is to eat Wang Chengen, and he is afraid of being expensive, so he smiled and said, "Then come to two catties." ” The young man agreed, and immediately turned around and waved to the back, and with the order, five young men with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes immediately came in with four plates and a charcoal porcelain pot, carefully placed them, and then quietly withdrew.
Not to mention, it's very rare to have skills in this training.
The dish is very fine, a plate of braised beef, cut thinner than paper, a chop chest, the soup is clear but has a faint fragrance, which makes people salivate, and there is a stir-fried kidney flower, garnished with some coriander, a stewed hoof tendon, bright and transparent, and there is the haggis here, rolling in the porcelain pot, the heat makes people comfortable.
For eating, neither of the two people here are experts, even Wang Chengen is not, he accompanied Chongzhen to suffer at the beginning, even if he is full, it is good, where can he pay attention to Lu Hanqiang, whether it is in the previous life or in this life, it is a tight day, and there is no emphasis on eating, as long as he is full.
So, the two of them looked at this exquisite dish, and they just started to eat after giving in to each other, and they didn't have the reserve of an internal minister and a five-grade official at all, especially if the two of them were hungry for a day, where could they still eat so much.
After waiting for a period of hard eating, and finally getting their stomachs full, Wang Chengen and Lu Hanqiang let out a long breath, wiped their mouths with wet wipes and smiled, and they were ready to get to business.
"Lu Banyu just raised the question about the reform of the post station in front of Long Live that our family sounds very good, very good, but there are still a few things that I don't understand, and I ask Lu Banyu to explain again."
Wang Chengen wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said to Lu Han with a smile, but his eyes already showed his greed. is here, this is the meat, Lu Hanqiang squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Chengen's mouth with a smile, but he also felt sad for Wang Chengen in his heart.
Originally, as a eunuch with a pen palm print, he was responsible for replacing the emperor to approve the chapter, also known as the approval of red, this is an absolutely hot position in this era, he has an absolute opportunity to deceive and conceal the subordinates, and has an absolute opportunity to sell the official beard, therefore, the eunuch of this position is also called an internal minister inside and outside, and the first shop of the outer dynasty is equally famous, and even higher than the first assistant in most of the time, as long as it operates a little, the status of one person on the side is above ten thousand people, such as Liu Jin of the Ming Dynasty, such as Wei Zhongxian.
However, that is all in the past, since the fall of Wei Zhongxian and the rise of Qingliu, such a situation is gone forever, not only those Qingliu eyes stared at this inner minister with round eyes to avoid the recurrence of the eunuch story, at the same time, Wang Chengen also told fortunes, and put on this diligent and somewhat perverted Chongzhen, where there are twists and turns sent by the inner court, all regardless of the size of the matter, must be reviewed in person, and never fake his hand to him, the eunuch, so this glamorous appearance of the inner minister has become a helper to deliver the folds, and the right is nothing more.
This time, after the abolition of Jinyiwei and the East and West Inner Factory, he Wang Chengen is even more nameless, especially compared with the stories of the previous dynasty, how can this not make Lao Wang feel indignant and depressed However, this embarrassing situation was just broken by Lu Hanqiang.
The abolition of the post station but also drummed up a royal post delivery firm, and according to Lu Hanqiang's plan, this thing not only makes money, the most important thing is to collect intelligence from all over the world, that is hundreds of thousands of eyeliner, that scale far exceeds the Jinyi Guard, the east and west inner factory, and they are the emperor's pro-army family, if these post feet are grasped in their hands, that is really the financial power, military power, and spy power, that is the real uncrowned king.
And this position was pushed out by Lu Hanqiang at that time, and as Lu Hanqiang said, this force must be controlled by the emperor's henchmen, then, who is the emperor's henchman, the emperor will never hand over this force that can subvert the throne to his brother, it is more dangerous than piercing himself with an explosive bag, and it is even more impossible for the imperial relatives and foreign clans, and the entire Ming Dynasty is afraid of the dictatorship of foreign relatives, and even marrying a daughter-in-law has to be a small jasper of the people's family, and the relatives are not even rewarded for a serious official, but only take care of them in money, Then who else is of course still their own minions are the most reliable, according to the emperor's ideas, they have no roots, let alone ambitions, even Wei Zhongxian is as powerful, he only dares to sit until he is nine thousand nine hundred years old, and the last small step will never dare to transgress, and once the emperor abandons them, it will be as easy as slaughtering an old dog, this is loyalty, therefore, this royal post house must and must be handed over to these eunuchs to manage.
But this raises a key question, who will hand over this huge power to Wang Chengen is already the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, according to the principle, he has already sat on the highest chair among the eunuchs, and if he adds it, there may be another Wei Zhongxian, and he can no longer add rights, although as mentioned above, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies at this time is like a fictitious.

It was Wang Chengen's embarrassing position that decided that he would fight for it and seize this real power in his hands.
But the emperor's mind didn't know, and it was difficult to figure it out, so Wang Chengen thought of this way, starting with Lu Hanqiang, the initiator, which was also something that Lu Hanqiang thought of.
So, Lu Hanqiang wiped his mouth and asked with a smile: "Wang Daban still doesn't understand anything, please just ask, I know everything and say everything."
So the two old foxes laughed, and laughed rather sinisterly.
"Two layers, how about it" Wang Chengen was quite refreshing, and at this time he stretched out two fingers and shook at Lu Hanqiang.
Let's see, when the interests come first.
Lu Hanqiang leaned back in the chair, and said with a smile: "But no matter if I am the emperor, I have raised hundreds of thousands of loyal and brave people without spending a penny in disguise, and I have used a stamp to give the emperor more than one million dollars in annual income, I am not greedy, those loyal and brave people want to come, they can only add to my guilt, but this money is my favorite, so it is on" "Three floors."
Wang Chengen smiled and raised his third finger.
Wang Chengen likes Lu Hanqiang's straightforwardness, and prefers Lu Hanqiang's mentality of not grasping military power, staying away from power, and being smart, so that with the eloquence of this storyteller, as well as his demonic wisdom and cleverness, this matter will be done.
Wang Chengen admires his style of putting others before himself.
So he smiled and said, "It's only three layers, and I don't know how much income this thing you said will be in the future."
Three floors are already quite a few.
After all, the internal treasury is in distress, and the emperor doesn't have much food to spare."
The sage said, pushing down a woman, this has nothing to do with feelings, but with the money you pay, when 100,000 can't make him obedient, then million, when 1,000 and 5 fall down, the most rigid one also becomes soft, Lu Hanqiang now has this feeling. t1706231537:
