Lu Jiude suddenly felt very sad. The eunuchs could no longer recover the glory of Wei Zhongxian's period, and the Jinyiwei could no longer be as powerful as the previous dynasty. All of this was because the Ming Dynasty was exhausted. So in the face of the humiliation and teasing of the immortals, he didn't even have the confidence to talk back. Even Gao Jie killed the fierce man, who was even a castrated man, was he a castrator?

Fang Chengbin also miscalculated. He thought the immortals would be furious, but he didn't expect that they didn't take the emperor seriously. In their opinion, Zhu Yousong was just a fat pig wearing a dragon robe. He chose a concubine all jokes, and there was no need to be angry.

Finally, Dang Paiguo said to Lu Jiude: "You go back and tell Zhu Yousheng that we, Dr. Guan, thank him for his favor, but I respect the title of the Imperial Concubine, and the emperor may use the energy of the concubine more on the right path, otherwise the Hongguang year name will not last a year."

If someone else said this, it would be a great crime of disrespect. But the party patriotic and arrogantly called the emperor's name, and everyone was silent and dared not say a word.

The banquet ended in a hurry, and the traveling group returned to the inn, and the Party and Patriotic Republic of China convened everyone for a meeting.

"This year is 1645 AD, the second year of Shunzhi, the first year of Hongguang. If there is no big accident in the historical process, it will not take long before Zuo Liangyu from Wuchang will lead his army to the Qing dynasty. The Ming army is in conflict, Zuo Liangyu died of illness, and his troops are 100,000 people surrender to the Qing dynasty. The Southern Ming court was destroyed in May, Zhu Yousheng was captured and executed in Beijing next year. Zhu Ming's energy is exhausted. Even if a real god comes, we can't save it. We should stick to our original intention. Don't stay at this wrong anchor point for a long time. Retrieve the crossing cabin as soon as possible and repair it, return to the baseline time and space, and continue our career. This is my opinion. Who agrees and who opposes? Raise your hands to vote."

All the staff raised their hands to pass. They were originally interested in assisting the Southern Ming regime in the Northern Expedition to recover their hometown, but the recent successive events disappointed them. The building was about to collapse, and it was not something that a few people could support.

Dang Peiguo nodded: "Just work together, we can't bet on Wu Sangui. ** said, do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, Yan Zhi, please give me more questions."

Liu Yanzhi bowed and said, "I dare not obey orders."

Dang Aiguo smiled and said, "After coming out for a long time, everyone has moved closer to the ancients, and I am a little homesick."

...

The next morning, Lu Jiude set off for Beijing. When he came, he was in a hurry and looked at the sails of the official boat disappeared at the end of the sky. Fang Chengbin sighed: "The next person to attack the city is probably Huang Degong."

Huang Degong is also one of the four towns in Jiangbei. His reputation is slightly better than the other three and his troops are stronger. He killed Liu and Gao in the first two times. He tried to make a fuss. If the battle was in the wild, he might not be successful. Yoshiyuki Omi offended both the Qing and the Ming dynasties, and it was difficult to survive in the cracks.

The Dang Paiguo also came to see him off, but he was extremely optimistic and smiled and said, "Mr. Fang is worried too much. Nanjing's reward documents are just around the corner. If you don't believe it, we can make a bet."

Fang Chengbin's eyes lit up: "How to bet?"

Dang Paiguo Road: "If Nanjing sends troops to attack, I will lose. I will guarantee that you will be safe in the river for a year. If Nanjing comes to reward, it will be a great loss. The bet is not gold, silver and jewelry, just some calligraphy and paintings."

Seeing that he was relaxed and skeptical, Fang Chengbin took on the bet.

Only one day later, Lu Jiude's official ship came back. This time, the eunuch in charge was full of spring breeze, smiling, and even made an urgent request, placing incense tables on the dock and reading the imperial edict.

The content of the imperial edict was as expected by Fang Chengbin. Fang Chengbin was promoted to the governor of Jiangdong and deputy chief envoy, and was given the title of Minister of War, and his eldest son Fang Chenglong was the commander of the Jinyiwei. The rest of the generals were rewarded. From the general to the Dushi, the third brother of the Fang family was appointed as the magistrate of the Jinjiang Prefecture because of his fame as a juren. He was in charge of food transportation and river defense. Although he was only a sixth-rank civil servant, his status was much higher than that of a military position.

The Southern Ming Dynasty threw the black hat around like a money-free one, but there was no real reward at all. However, Fang Chengbin didn't mind at all. At this moment, he was ecstatic and wanted to hold Lu Jiude and kiss him.

"Master Lu, please go to the city to rest quickly. Please ask for advice carefully." Fang Chengbin said, he wanted to know why the earth-shaking changes occurred.

Lu Jiude waved his hand and said, "Forgive, our family still has important things to do. We want to go to General Huang Degong and Huang to go there."

Fang Chengbin realized something and lowered his voice: "Master Lu, but is there something wrong with Wuchang?"

Lu Jiude smiled bitterly: "Governor's clear view, Zuo Liangyu has rebelled, and he has raised 200,000 troops to clear the lord's side along the river. Jiang Fang and General Huang are taking over the river."

Fang Chengbin took a breath. He knew that Zuo Liangyu in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and Ma Shiying in power in Nanjing, and Ruan Dacheng, who was in power in Nanjing, did not expect that the contradictions would intensify to the point of meeting each other. The army of the Ming Dynasty was busy killing each other. Who would resist the Tartars?

It turned out that before Lu Jiude returned to Nanjing, he met an envoy from the court halfway. The enemy was facing a great enemy. Ma Shiying and others forced the emperor to take back Cheng's orders, recruit Omi Yu's army and use them to resist Zuo Liangyu's army to go east. Although Zhu Yousong was stupid, he was not stupid. When his life was at stake, he could only obey the arrangements of Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa.

Lu Jiude came to Jinjiang for the second time and successfully completed the task. He said goodbye to Fang Chengbin and went to Huang Degong to pass the imperial edict. He left in vain. Fang Chengbin felt sad after sighing, so what should he use to give the party patriotism?

The Fang family was a wealthy family in Omi, but because their ancestors were military generals, there were no shortage of guns and sticks instructors at home. However, the Fang family's children always lacked some excuses in poetry and calligraphy, so there were not many valuable ancient paintings in the family. Even if there were, they were reluctant to take them out as bets. Anyway, the party and patriotism did not specify what kind of calligraphy and paintings they wanted in advance.

The long-awaited imperial reward finally arrived. The city of Ori River was filled with joy. Everyone was busy pulling silk and making new official robes. Fang Chengbin took a few scrolls of calligraphy and paintings from his study room, went to a friend's place to ask for some, and personally delivered them to the inn. At this time, the inn had been packaged by four immortals, and it was spacious and comfortable to live.

Fang Chengbin asked his servants to bring out a scroll of calligraphy and paintings, and introduced: "Time flies, and the officials helped the immortals collect paintings from the four Wumen families, including several landscapes by Dong Qichang, and a red cirque fu written by Zhu Zhishan. I also asked the immortals to read it.

The four Wumen families are Wen Zhengming, Shen Zhou, Tang Bohu and Qiu Ying, all of whom are talented in poetry and painting. Dong Qichang was even a famous calligrapher and painter in the late Ming Dynasty. Zhu Zhishan's calligraphy is also a masterpiece. Just getting these things in modern times will not be a problem to shoot hundreds of billions. Even those who are knowledgeable as the Party and the Patriotic Republic of China are also moved.

The governor saw that the Party was patriotic and looked different, and he thought he was not satisfied. After all, these calligraphy and paintings were made by Ming people. Dong Qichang had been dead for a few years. Although calligraphy and paintings were also valuable, they could not make any moves in front of immortals. If they took out the original works of Wang Xizhi and Wu Daozi, they would be considered high-end.

"I am really ashamed..." Fang Chengbin was very embarrassed, but the Party was extremely satisfied with the country. He accepted everything and gave him the opportunity in person, saying that he didn't have to worry about the rebels advancing eastward, because Zuo Liangyu's life span had ended.

Dang Paiguo pretended to calculate: "Zuo Liangyu has only one month's life, so he will die on the warship. After his death, the generals will not die in secret, and will support Zuo Menggeng as the leader. Zuo Menggeng cannot defeat Huang Degong and will eventually surrender to the Qing army. Therefore, the Zuo Army's military front will not reach Jinjiang, so Lord Fang naturally does not have to worry."

Fang Chengbin believed it deeply and asked the future of the descendants of the Fang family. If the Party and Patriotic Republic of China remembered the records of the Fang clan in history, he said mysteriously: "Others' fate has been determined, but the future of the Fang family is unlimited. How to go is up to you."

The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, and Fang Chengbin is not inconvenient to ask more questions. This sentence is enough for him to recall.

...

Fang Chenglong was appointed as the magistrate of the Kingjiang Prefecture by the court. This position was not what he wanted. The third young master dreamed of being a marquis and was unwilling to be a civil servant who deals with documents. He knew that this was the eldest brother who caused trouble and deliberately arranged for himself to be a civil servant. In fact, he guessed wrongly. Fang Chengbin did not mention him at all. The official position of this magistrate was equivalent to giving away the phone bill.

Fang Chengbin became the governor of Jiangdong, a third-rank official. The new official took office as the third party. He confiscated all the people who had originally assigned to his third brother in the name of unified command. He really let Chenglong take office as the magistrate and be responsible for the transportation of grain in the river. The river is an isolated city, and there is no grain in the river. Jiangfang is also famous for its reputation, which made the third young master depressed and went to the inn to find his elder brother to drink.

There were only four immortals living in the huge inn, and there were no other guests. Fang Chenglong was still wearing a group of flowers and brocade battle robes and visited the door. In the empty inn, there was only the shopkeeper's bored slap in the abacus. Seeing the third young master coming, he smiled and saluted: "The Lord Tong was here, and the villain kowtowed you."

Governor Fang posted notices at all four doors, and made these newly released official titles public. He was afraid that the people would not read, so he arranged for scholars to explain next to the notice. Now everyone in the city knows that the third young master has become a magistrate. The ordinary people and scholars are two classes. The common people and officials who have not yet served in the official position are two classes. The third young master has become a sixth-rank magistrate. Not to mention that the carp jumps over the dragon gate, it is also a great thing that is gratifying and congratulatory, and the people are all happy for him.

Fang Chenglong looked unhappy and said, "Forget it, get up, go and report to my elder brother, and prepare another pot of wine."

The shopkeeper said, "The immortal said, "The third young master comes and doesn't need to report it. I will ask for it directly. I will prepare the wine and food for you now to ensure you are satisfied."

Fang Chenglong walked in. This Yulai Inn is the largest and best hotel in Ori River City. In the past, during the Taiping period, more merchants from all over the country and the scholars who came to the provincial capital to take the exam. Now wars are everywhere, and the provincial examinations have been stopped long ago, and merchants dare not take risks. The inn has no business and the door is deserted. Fortunately, four immortals were moved into. The expenses of the immortals are borne by the Fang family, and the daily expenses are really good...Wait, why is there a sound of a pipa playing on the upstairs?

The pipa was playing like tears and complaining. Fang Chenglong couldn't help but be stunned. He went up the small building without realizing it. Looking through the window, there was a beautiful woman in the house holding the pipa, her jade hands flew over, and suddenly she changed from grievance to a golden sword and an ambush on all sides.

Fang Chenglong fell in love at first sight.
