Yuwen Mansion

The noise caused by the Liangzhou Army outside the city in the past two days did not bother Yuwen Hongru.

They were just the children of a few small families, and they were dead. Yu Wen Hongru didn't even raise his eyelids when he heard the news.

Several braziers were lighting up the fire in Yu Wen Hongru's study, and the flames kept jumping, making the room warm. The warmth made the old man's face glow red, and he was very comfortable.

"Crunch."

Yu Wen Chenghua pushed the door open and closed it smoothly, keeping out the cold air. He still held a letter in his hand.

"Father." Yu Wen Chenghua handed the letter in front of Yu Wen Hongru with a smile on his face: "This is the news just sent back by the secret agent from the southern border."

Yuwen Hongru knew there was good news when he saw the smile on his son's face. He took the letter and read it carefully with some doubts.

After reading the letter, a smile appeared on Yu Wen Hongru's wrinkled face, and he said with a smile: "I didn't expect that good things came to my door unexpectedly."

"Haha." Yu Wen Chenghua laughed heartily: "Cai Xuewen probably never expected that his son could do such a thing."

"What a pity." Yu Wen Hongru sighed: "Cai Xuewen has been diligent in the Ministry of Rites all his life. He finally climbed onto the Zhao family and the Queen Mother to find an official position for his son, but he suffered the consequences."

Yuwen Chenghua happily said nothing.

"You should start preparing a few candidates." Yuwen Hongru put the letter aside and said: "Although the Ministry of Rites has no real power, it is better to have it in our hands."

"Don't worry, father, I've prepared the selection." Yuwen Chenghua nodded confidently.

Yuwen Hongru hummed, and then asked: "Is there anything going on in Chenyue these days?"

"He has already been to the Queen Mother, the Xue family, and the Zhao family. I don't know what they talked about specifically." Yu Wen Chenghua replied.

There are spies from various families everywhere in the capital, and there are even more spies outside the post house where Chen Yue lives, so Chen Yue's whereabouts are not a secret at all to the Yuwen family.

"Then it's our turn." Yu Wen Hongru closed his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Go and invite Chen Yue to the mansion for a banquet, and invite one more person, his deputy Chu Yucheng."

Yuwen Chenghua raised his eyebrows slightly. Chu Yucheng also knew that he had been Chenyue's right-hand man since the battle with Yan Rong. This time he also shined brilliantly in countering the rebellion in the southern border, showing his military talents. His father asked him to be afraid this time.

It's time to win over someone.

An invitation was quickly delivered to the inn where Chen Yue lived. When they saw the names on the invitation, both Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng were stunned.

"Interesting, you invited me, it's really unexpected." Chu Yucheng turned over the invitation in his hand with great interest.

Chenyue smiled and said: "I'm afraid this old lady has also got your idea."

Chen Yue is so smart. Yu Wen Hongru's actions must have deep meaning. After a little thought, he knew that he wanted to win over Chu Yucheng.

Chu Yucheng understood, stretched and said: "Hey, it feels good to be recognized by others. It's a pity that he underestimates us."

"Hahaha!"

The two laughed heartily at the same time, and there was absolute trust between the brothers.

The two of them arrived at Yuwen's mansion as promised. Naturally, Yuwen Chenghua went out and brought them close to the mansion.

"How dare you trouble Lord Shangshu to greet you in person? Chen Yue is so ashamed!" Chen Yue greeted with a smile.

Although Yu Wen Chenghua was a little dissatisfied with Chen Yue in his heart, he still had a smile on his face: "You're welcome, Lord Marquis, now you are the governor of Beiliang Dao, your official rank is only half a rank lower than mine, but you have a big head."

I am so envious of you for holding the title of Marquis of Beiliang."

Times have changed. When the two met for the first time, Chenyue was still a small general in the border army and was not even ranked high in Liangzhou. Now that he has grown up to this point, the thought of Yuwen Chenghua brings mixed feelings to his heart.

"This must be General Chu Yucheng, he is also a young hero." Yuwen Chenghua quickly calmed down his inner turmoil and looked at Chu Yucheng aside and said.

"I have met Lord Shangshu." Chu Yucheng bowed his hands.

"Let's go, father has been waiting for a long time and is anxious to talk to you two." Yu Wen Chenghua turned sideways and introduced the two of them into the house.

The two of them stepped into the courtyard and were amazed by the scene in the courtyard. Yuwen's mansion was undoubtedly the most gorgeous place Chenyue had seen these days, and its splendor also revealed the heritage of a century-old family, without any accumulation of money.

A sense of vulgarity comes out.

Walking outside the main hall, several people pushed the door open and entered. The banquet in the hall had already been prepared, and an old figure was standing in the room waiting for several people.

"I've met Taifu." Chen Yue and Chen Yue saluted at the same time.

"Haha, you two don't need to be polite, please take your seats." Yu Wen Hongru smiled and pointed to the seat next to him.

Several people sat down one after another and chatted for a while about the war in the southern border. Yuwen Chenghua was the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he was Chenyue's immediate boss at that time, so it was a natural topic to discuss military affairs.

After a few glasses of wine, Yuwen Hongru suddenly asked: "Master Chenhou, do you have any plans for General Chu's official position? I think General Chu is also a leader, so he must not be buried."

Chenyue served as the governor of Beiliang Dao, and all officials, big and small, were appointed by Chenyue. Although Chenyue had already made arrangements, they have not been made public.

Chu Yucheng, who was sitting in the guest seat, had his eyelids twitching and thought, is this the beginning?

Chenyue put down his wine glass and replied without hesitation: "Of course, with such a talent, I will definitely put him in the most appropriate position. Yucheng will serve as the envoy of Beiliang Dao, and will take charge of the military power of the two places."

The affectionate name showed that the relationship between Chen Yue and Chen Yue was extraordinary.

"Oh? That's really putting people to their best use. Mr. Hou has good taste." Yu Wen Hongru naturally changed the topic and said: "But I have another official position here that may be more suitable for General Chu."

Chen Yue thought: He really wants to win over Chu Yucheng.

"Please make it clear, Master." Chen Yue asked without changing his expression.

Yu Wen Hongru saw that Chen Yue's reaction was natural, and a little surprise flashed in his eyes, and then said: "General Zhao Zhongtian has done great service in suppressing the rebellion. After returning to Beijing, he will serve as the left minister of the Ministry of War. I think General Chu's talents are far superior to Zhao Zhongtian. He will be placed in the border area."

It's a pity to be a soldier. Why don't you go to the Ministry of War and become the Right Assistant Minister? The Ministry of War just needs such a talented person. I wonder if the Marquis can give up his love?"

Yuwen Chenghua also echoed: "Although the minister of the Ministry of War is only a third-rank official, which seems to be half a rank lower than the second-rank Beiliang Dao Protector, after all, he is an official in Beijing, his future is unlimited, and he is in charge of the world.

Soldiers and horses are just the right place for General Chu to display his talents."

Chen Yue's face was very happy, and he said without a trace of displeasure: "I would be happy if Yu Cheng can have a good future, but this matter still depends on his own wishes, and I can't make the decision for him.
