This is a hall, not too big, but the layout is elegant and simple. Facing it is a screen with a picture of wind, snow and cold plum blossoms carved on it.

Thick snow pressed on the plum blossom branches, but the plum blossom branches did not bend at all, and a strong artistic conception came to my face.

This is no ordinary stone carving, nor is it an ordinary painting.

Guan Ning can be sure.

In front of the screen, there are two Taishi chairs, both of which are equally thick and majestic. Sitting on the left side is an old man. His hair and beard are a little white, but they are combed very carefully without any mess. His face is slightly thin, and his complexion is dark and light.

Under the eyebrows, a pair of eyes are bright and lively, without looking old at all.

He was the chief official of the Ministry of Personnel, the head of the six ministries of the dynasty, Lu Zhaoling, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and also a first-rank official who was granted the title of cabinet minister.

Even though he was sitting like this, his unique momentum was still quite obvious.

He is not the only one in this hall.

At the base of his hand was a man who was nearly middle-aged, with a pale complexion, wearing exquisite clothes, and giving him a sense of wealth.

He is Lu Zhaoling’s eldest son, Lu Heng.

This Lu Heng did not inherit his father's business and enter the officialdom, but chose to engage in business. He was very impressive and quite famous in the upper capital.

There were also several younger ones after that, who should all be descendants of the Lu family. What caught people's attention was a pretty girl with long hair that reached her waist. She had an eccentric look. It was obvious that she was a

A beautiful woman, with a close-fitting white skirt, wrapping her delicate body that is beginning to take shape, with quite an ups and downs...

At this moment, she was looking at Guan Ning curiously with wide eyes.

Her name is Lu Yunyun, she is the granddaughter of Lu Zhaoling, and she is the apple of the eye of the Lu family.

After Guan Ning approached, everyone's eyes were focused, some were curious, some were disdainful, some were sarcastic...

so many people?

Guan Ning thought it was only Lu Zhaoling himself, but he was not afraid of the stage. He took a step forward and said, "I have met Mr. Lu."

No matter what, the proper etiquette should still be observed.

"Hey, this dandy prince also knows etiquette. It's really rare."

Immediately after Guan Ning finished speaking, a sharp voice sounded.

The speaker was a young man who looked to be the same age as Guan Ning.

"Shut up."

Lu Heng scolded him directly, and then said: "My nephew, don't be like him."

"Won't."

Guan Ning shook his head and didn't even look at it.

The young man was Lu Heng's son, named Lu Junyan. He was also a playboy who came to the capital. Because of his prominent family background, he was also arrogant and domineering.

Two years ago, Guan Ning came to Beijing and met several times. He still couldn't see enough of Guan Ning, so he was particularly unhappy with Guan Ning.

These are all things in the past. With Guan Ning's current mind, they are all ignored. They are just some unnecessary competition and have no meaning...

"What brings you here?"

Lu Zhaoling looked at Guan Ning and asked.

His face was solemn, giving people a strong sense of distance.

In fact, it is understandable that as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, in charge of the appointment of officials across the country, in such a position, it is natural for him to develop like this.

Guan Ning didn't pay attention and said, "I came to visit Mr. Lu today because I have something to ask for."

"Seeking each other?"

"Seeking each other?"

"Ha ha."

Lu Junyan smiled and said, "You Guan Ning, will you ever find someone else to help you one day?"

There were several others who also looked disdainful.

However, the expressions of Lu Heng and others changed slightly. The current situation in the imperial court is complicated. They have just decided to rotate the Northern Army. This is a sacred order and cannot be changed. However, the specific location and which army to rotate with have not yet been decided.

Down.

It is said that the cabinet will discuss it and then announce it, and Lu Zhaoling is the cabinet minister and has the right to speak to help speak.

Although it is said to be a rotation, the exact location of the rotation is also a question. What if it is a trap?

Some people also feel relieved that after the incident, the prince has not shown his face or spoken out.

You are a general who has made great achievements, so you can be humble and polite, and you can use public opinion to win something, but you have nothing, as if it has nothing to do with you.

What is this if not a fool?

You're a loser, you can't afford to help him.

Now I finally want to go out and have a relationship.

It can be considered an improvement.

Guan Zhongshan, the king of Zhenbei, was a martial artist. According to his words, he could hardly make friends with civil servants. He had no reason to make close friends in Shangjing. Lu Zhaoling was one of them.

Lu Zhaoling likes plum blossoms, even to the point of extreme love. This is how cultural people always like to look for something to flaunt themselves.

There are many officials like this in the imperial court who describe themselves as plum blossoms and have the character and quality of plum blossoms.

This group of people is privately called the Mei Party.

And Lu Zhaoling is the leader of the Mei Party, and he is indeed like this. He is known for his uprightness, and he dares to give direct advice even to the emperor.

Because of this, he gained the appreciation of Guan Zhongshan, and the two families had a good relationship.

Some of the younger generation can't stand Guan Ning, but the elders don't treat old friends like this. Especially the Guan family is lonely, which can't help but sigh.

Of course they hope Guan Ning can make a difference.

But there are some things that they cannot decide. The current situation in the court is obvious, and there is really no choice...

"What?"

Lu Zhaoling asked.

Guan Ning said, "Sir Lu must have heard about my visit to the Deng Mansion."

Lu Zhaoling nodded.

This matter caused quite a stir in Shangjing City, and it also involved two important officials. It was difficult not to know whether they knew about it or not.

"You don't want to come here to beg my grandpa to make peace with Mr. Deng or Mr. Lu, right?"

Lu Junyan said: "I was quick to talk at first, but now it's too late..."

Others also nodded.

The riot in Deng's Mansion is also known as the trigger of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.

In fact, Guan Ning knew that even if it didn't happen, it would still be the same.

"If this is the case, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it."

"Lord Lu has misunderstood. This is not why I came."

Guan Ning said: "On that day, there was an innocent person who was implicated by me. He was Li Bing, the former member of the Cleaning Department of the Ministry of War's arsenal. Later, he was demoted to the manager of the central treasury."

Everyone nodded subconsciously. Many people had heard about this.

"Li Bing is actually very innocent. I feel a little sorry. It just so happened that during the recent civil service examination, a foreign minister committed a crime and a vacancy was left vacant. Li Bing's grade corresponds to that of Li Bing. Can you please arrange for Mr. Lu to go there?"

After Guan Ning finished speaking, he looked at Lu Zhaoling.

"That's it?"

Lu Zhaoling frowned.

Others also looked stunned. They thought Guan Ning was asking for something extraordinary, but they didn't expect it to be this.

The transfer of an official from the fifth rank is difficult for others, but for Lu Zhaoling, it is too simple, even trivial.

You are not concerned about your own affairs, but about his personnel affairs, and the reason is that you feel sorry for yourself.

this……

Everyone was a little disappointed.

Just like Jin Yue said, when the favor will eventually be used up, it is really not worth it just for this kind of thing.

And they felt that Guan Ning didn't even consider himself at this time.

"Is it just this?"
