Zuo Liangyu's official career can be summed up in four words.
That is... help from noble people.
When he was in Liaodong, for some unknown reason, he was favored by Sun Chengzong. From an unknown general manager, he suddenly became the chief executive.
Or the commander of a pure firearms unit like Che Youying.
After being dismissed due to the Ningyuan mutiny, it didn't take long for him to make a comeback.
This time, his nobleman is Hou Xun.
I don’t know why Hou Xun fell in love with him and took him under his tent.
During the Jisi Incident, Hou Xun was ordered to go to Tongzhou to recruit troops to serve the king, and Zuo Liangyu got the opportunity to command the troops.
This time, he entered the fast lane of life.
In just a few years, he was promoted from deputy general to commander-in-chief, and then gradually became a warlord.
In fact, what Zuo Mengeng didn't know was that among the people present, there was also a distinguished person named Zuo Liangyu.
Hou Xun has been famous for a long time.
During the Tianqi period, because of the struggle with the eunuch party, the father and son were dismissed from office, and they became famous all over the world.
In addition, many people in Donglin were brutally killed by the eunuchs during the Tianqi years, Hou Xun's status has been rising steadily, and he is now a very important boss in Donglin.
When Chongzhen came to the throne, he punished the eunuchs and recalled the people from Donglin to the court.
Hou Xun went north this time to serve as the Minister of War in the capital.
Hou Xun was from Guide Prefecture, and when he went north to the capital, it was naturally convenient to take the canal, so he had to pass through Linqing.
The local Donglin Party members in Linqing or the gentry who were close to the Donglin Party welcomed him with great fanfare.
What makes Zuo Mengeng strange is, who is the person alongside Hou Xun?
Judging from everyone's attitude, it seems that they are even more respectful than Hou Xun.
After a while, the official ship docked and the springboard was set up. Hou Xunyan asked and let the man go first.
The man was not polite and Shi Shiran stepped out of the boat.
Everyone was impatient and rushed to meet him. The scene was noisy and chaotic for a while, and Zuo Mengeng was pushed aside.
Zhang Haogu and his fellow sufferers failed to step forward and join in the fun.
Zuo Mengeng finally caught the person and asked, "Who is that Nian Tai Gong?"
Zhang Haogu was surprised.
"You didn't know? That's Mr. Jishan."
Zuo Mengeng suddenly realized it and couldn't help but look over there.
The famous Liu Zongzhou, one of the few thinkers in the late Ming Dynasty, was deeply respected by the world.
Liu Zongzhou was in front and Hou Xun was behind.
When Hou Xun got off the boat, Zuo Mengeng noticed that he was holding an eight or nine-year-old boy in his hand. Carved in pink and jade, it exudes aura both inside and outside.
Seeing Zuo Liangyu approaching Hou Xun, Zuo Mengeng had no choice but to go over.
But Zuo Liangyu's actions shocked Zuo Mengeng.
Zuo Liangyu came to Hou Xun and knelt down without saying a word.
"Sir, Zuo Liangyu kowtows to you. I am so happy to be able to serve you again after so many years."
Zuo Mengeng is so confused.
Fathers are on their knees, what should he do?
He was unwilling to be asked to kneel down and kowtow.
It is natural for a man to kneel to his parents. It is debatable whether God should kneel or not, let alone an outsider who is not a relative or a friend.
Just when he was hesitating, Hou Xun moved quickly and pulled Zuo Liangyu up.
"Don't be like this in Kunshan. There is no need to be polite in our relationship."
Seeing Zuo Liangyu getting up, Zuo Mengeng took advantage of the situation and stopped kneeling. He bent down and bowed, which was considered a trick.
The child hiding next to Hou Xun saw it and couldn't help laughing.
When Zuo Mengeng looked at him, he even shaved his cheek. Apparently he saw Zuo Mengeng's cheating.
Zuo Mengeng winked at him, he was thick-skinned and didn't care.
The child was stunned. It was probably the first time he had seen such a person.
Zuo Mengeng was tall and it was impossible for Hou Xun to miss him and asked, "Who is this young master..."
Zuo Liangyu said hurriedly: "It's Quanzi."
Hou Xun looked around and found that Zuo Mengeng was high-spirited, with a sharp expression, and a domineering air that he could not give up. He was not as submissive as Zuo Liangyu, so he couldn't help but praise: "Your Majesty, you are majestic and heroic. He must be a person with great talent inside and sharp outside, and his future will be limitless."
Zuo Liangyu was just happy after saying this, scratching his head and scratching his head. He was even happier than being promoted and making a fortune.
Zuo Mengeng knew that Hou Xun was very important to Zuo Liangyu, and with Hou Xun's energy, he would be of great help to him in the future.
"My father often said that I am here today because of my appreciation. My father taught me earnestly and served my country with loyalty. My father always kept this in his heart. During the bloody battle with the rebels and the Tartars, he would fight bravely and be diligent in the affairs of the king."
This was both a compliment and a test.
Because Zuo Mengeng discovered a new situation.
Zuo Liangyu and Hou Xun seemed like old acquaintances.
According to limited historical data, Zuo Liangyu was appreciated by Hou Xun after Liaodong. It stands to reason that the two of them should have had little interaction before this.
But looking at Zuo Liangyu's attitude towards Hou Xun, it can be said that he is really grateful, just like serving his parents, but he doesn't know why.
The secrets he pried into were revealed by Hou Xun, who was an old man and was even more watertight.
"Kunshan, have you ever asked your son to study?"
Zuo Liangyu said respectfully: "The only disadvantage I have is that I don't know a single Chinese character. I followed the old man's instructions and hired him a husband early. However, this kid is my son. He cannot study well. He only knows how to wield a sword and a gun." . I originally thought of taking him to Liaodong to explore, but now it’s all gone.”
Hou Xun patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be discouraged. Just stay at home and wait for good news."
A big shot who is about to serve as Minister of War said this, and his future is definitely gone.
Zuo Liangyu's heart finally warmed up again.
Over there, Zhang Zhenxiu came over and grabbed Hou Xun's sleeve.
"It's rare for Mr. Ruogu to come to the Qing Dynasty. I wanted to do my best to show my gratitude to the landlord. But it's really annoying that Mr. Ruogu favors Brother Kunshan. He lives in a humble and simple house and dare not condescend to the true Buddha. For this banquet, Mr. Ruogu has to do it. Appreciation."
Hou Xun laughed and turned to look at everyone.
"Zhang Cunyu is forcing me to this point, what can I do? I have to let him go, and exchange warm wine for drunkenness and delicious food to cheer up."
The crowd laughed loudly, and gathered around Liu Zongzhou and Hou Xun to get on the sedan chair and rush to the inner city.
We hadn't gone far, and before we even got out of the pier, we were met by a huge wave of people.
The signs of "Quiet" and "Avoid" were arrogant, and the whips used to clean the streets drove pedestrians away like dogs and rabbits.
Many of the subordinate officials in soap clothes have bad behavior and look evil. They carry scimitars on their waists and hold pale yellow hands, looking majestic and majestic.
Protecting a large sedan chair with eight carriages, an old man with a python robe and winged crown and a white face and no beard sat on it, his eyes had been fixed on this side.
The two sides approached each other and stopped at each other, quite tense.
In the crowd, someone whispered: "It's the eunuch Feng Lun."
Only then did Zuo Mengeng know that this person was Feng Lun, the local emperor of Linqing and the guarding eunuch.
If it were in the past, these people would have no choice but to retreat when they saw Feng Lun.
But now news has come from Beijing that Wei Zhongxian, Li Chaoqin, Cui Chengxiu and others have fallen victim to the law. It is inevitable that the eunuchs will be destroyed. The big guys can finally hold their heads high and face Feng Lun, a low-level tiger.
Liu Zongzhou and Hou Xun in the sedan also got the letter, opened the sedan curtain and glared at Feng Lun. Looking at it like that, I really want to peel off its skin and eat its flesh.
The hatred between the two sides is unforgettable and has already reached the point where they will never end.
Being looked at by so many pairs of angry eyes, Feng Lun was calm and fearless.
"Hey, who am I? The former hasty rat, now he is making a comeback?"
Hou Xun got off the sedan, walked to the front of the crowd, and shouted: "The holy king is coming to the court, and the eunuchs will be executed. Wei Eun, Li Eun and other giants are not far away from death. You, a grasshopper after the autumn, will be in panic all day long." , I can only behave like a pitiful rabbit who is dead and a fox is sad."
Feng Lun seemed to have heard some big joke, and he laughed so hard that he couldn't help himself.
"Hahahahahaha...it's really sad...ridiculous...poor, Hou Ruogu, do you really think you won? Just wait, sooner or later the emperor will understand who is his sweetheart."
Hou Xun shouted and cursed.
"You eunuch will only confuse the king, ruin the country, and harm the people. Now it is wishful thinking to expect to survive for a long time. It should be noted that the Holy Lord is an immortal and wise king. He uses thunderbolt methods to kill demons and eliminate demons, and the country is cleansed and transformed into a new one. You guys, Xiaoxiao It is inevitable for our generation to disintegrate and disappear into ashes from now on."
Everyone cheered loudly, feeling quite happy that all their resentment had been wiped out.
Someone suddenly rushed out of the crowd, furious, and rushed towards Feng Lun.
"Thief, you have come to pay homage to the spirit of Xiancao!"
Zuo Mengeng was shocked. He happened to be close and stopped him quickly.
"Brother Zhou, please be patient."
Even if Feng Lun deserves to die, the only thing that can deal with him is the emperor's decree. Before the Holy Will is issued, even if you know that this person's death is not far away, you cannot act randomly.
The people who rush out are traveling around.
At this time, he had already lost his mind, but he couldn't break away from Zuo Mengeng's blockage.
He stared with blood-red eyes and roared angrily.
"Back then, Xian Kao was caught by this evil thief and thrown into a prison and beaten to death. If I don't take revenge, how can I be a son of man?"
Zuo Mengeng was stunned for a moment, and then his mind started to rumble, and many mysteries were suddenly solved.
