The next day, Chen Xin sent Lu Donkey and the fur dog to inquire about the news. Song Wenxian also planned to go out to find an old acquaintance of a former colleague. Chen Xin wanted to talk about military training with Dai Zhenggang and Zhu Guobin, but he was not in the mood to talk about a trip to the capital, so he went out with Song Wenxian and went to Chongwenmen, preparing to go to the center of Beijing. Downtown Beijing has nine gates on Thursday, 15 miles. Later, the Nine Gates of the Manchu Dynasty referred to the inner city. Chongwen Gate is southeast of the city center. It is one of the eight major bank passes of the Ming Dynasty. There is a propaganda department here, which collects nearly 90,000 taels of business tax every year. Chongwenmen is one of the most prosperous commercial places in Beijing. On both sides of the street are corridor houses built in the early Ming Dynasty, which Daxing County rented out to enterprises. The surrounding alleys are mostly specialized markets for some kind of goods. Many alleys are also named after this, such as Tieguo Hutong, Sow Hutong, and Chuanban Hutong.

The streets are overcrowded, traffic jams, and Chen Xin's four people have been blocked several times. "Your mother, you'd better find a chengguan," Chen Xin scolded in his heart after being blocked by a few more carriages, and even returned to the Ming Dynasty. Several people squeezed with difficulty from both sides, blocked at the gate for a while longer, and finally - into the city center.

Just relieved, I didn't know that Chongwenmen Street in front was also crowded. The crowd saw Chen Xin's headache. They turned around and asked Song Wenxian, "Mr. Song, where are you going?"

Song Wenxian wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I went to Dongtangzi Hutong and had to walk along this street. ”

Chen Xin didn't know anything about these alleys. He asked, "Where is the place where there are so many officials?"

"Brother Chen wants to inquire about the military rank, so it is better to go to Qipan Street. The military headquarters was on the west side of Daming Gate (now in front of Tiananmen Square), and there were many officials. Song Wenxian pointed to the door and said: "Go west, go to the Jiaomi East Lane in front, and you can go to Daming Gate." ”

Chen Xin then separated from Song Wenxian in Dongjiaomi Lane and headed west. The Dongjiaomi Lane he walked was later known as Dongjiaomi Lane. More than 200 years later, after declaring war on the 11th country, he sent tens of thousands of people to attack embassies. What's more, tens of thousands of people fought for two months in the face of hundreds of foreign soldiers without being defeated, and brought water and vegetables to people during the battle. The attack on the embassy district was unprecedented. If we don't fight, I'm afraid it's impossible. Every time Chen Xin thought of what "I Qing" did, he would get angry.

At the moment, Dongjiaomi Lane is just a small alley. Because this place used to collect grain by the river, it is called this name. The road is as wide as the streets of Tianjin. There were many grain stores on both sides. People come and go on the road. A few people walked west along Dongjiaomi Lane. It's about two or three miles from here. They walked to Daming Gate.

"Your mother, it's finally here. After walking for a few miles, Chen Xin finally walked out of the alley. This is Checkerboard Street. Looking around, the short chessboard street is very wide. There is the majestic Zhengyang Gate in the south, the majestic Daming Gate in the north, and the east and west are all shops. What makes Chen Xin stupid is that there are more people than Chongwenmen.

"Brother Chen, Qipan Street is the most prosperous place in the capital," Dai Zhenggang said after him, "I heard it when I pulled the fiber." How famous you are. ”

Chen Xin nodded. It's no wonder that Beijing's household registration is valuable. There were many people in the Ming Dynasty. He looked at the poor Daming Gate, which looked like a temple on Tuba Mountain. Behind the gate, there is a long forward corridor surrounded by red walls. At the end of the corridor is the later Tiananmen, but it is not the residence of the emperor, only the entrance to the imperial city. Qian Brandt was the core power department of the Ming Dynasty. The six departments, the five armies, the governor's mansion, and the Jinyi Guard are all here.

Chen Xin saw that it was almost lunch time, so she chose a middle-class restaurant to enter. He asked for a table next to the hall to sit down. After sitting for a while, the officials near Qipan Street were on duty, coming out for lunch. At one time, the streets were full of official uniforms, civil servants were birds, officers were beasts, clothes and animals were everywhere. Chen Xin's restaurant quickly filled with people, and the hall was filled with noise.

There were two people sitting behind Chen Xin, but they were not wearing official uniforms. Chen Xin didn't care. He just listened to the conversations of the officials around him, but they were all confused. In disappointment, suddenly the conversation between the two people behind him was louder.

“...... How can we avoid the path of the jackals? Under the rule of the Holy Emperor, we, the disciples of the Emperor, say nothing. What are we going to do. At present, the scumbag Lu Wanling has been sent to prison. He was fighting with drums. ”

Chen Xin's attention immediately focused on his back. Dai Zhenggang and Zhu Guobin didn't realize that they were serious about the food in front of them.

I heard someone whisper: "Brother Qian, please don't raise your voice." Why should I stop you today? Brother Qian forgot about the six gentlemen of Donglin. Are Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun, who are in charge of the factory director, idle? There are ministers in the court, officials in the court, and officials in the court. Our supervisor is not in his place......"

Earlier, Brother Qian interrupted him: "Wei Zhongxian blocked the sky with one hand. He used his horse to curse, poisoned the gentlemen, and killed all the people in the world. The winds of the world are falling, and there is nothing else. ”

Another said anxiously: "This is well known in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. On the 24th of last month, Yang Suo, the right deputy governor of the capital, impeached the soldier Cui and was reprimanded by the emperor. ”

Choi Sung-so was one of the four people Yang Shuo impeached, but his impeachment was not under control. How could he not be reprimanded? Choi Sung-so was his own soldier, and his younger brother was appointed general. When did our dynasty happen? What's even more odious is that he treats the eunuch as his father, which is really Sven's death. If I had written a letter, I should have directly troubled Huang Long and impeached Wei Zhongxian. ”

"When the prince of Zhou and the eunuch Wang asked for leave, the emperor also asked them to stay one by one. It can be seen that the emperor still wants to use the officials in the factory. Brother Qian, if you don't know the Holy Decree, you should not hesitate to write a letter. I'm afraid you can't bear to say anything. ”

"Brother Qian" was silent for a moment and then said, "The purpose of our reading the book of sages is not to glorify our ancestors and become great ministers. We must set our hearts for heaven and earth, set up our lives for the people, learn from the saints in our unique way, and open the door to peace for the whole world. Brother Yan is kind-hearted and understandable. However, the matter was imperative and there was no reply. ”

"Brother Qian, you may think that our supervisor does not have the right to write. If you don't follow the rules, you can't shirk your responsibilities even if you invite Fortune to join the person. What's wrong?"

Brother Qian did not hesitate, but his tone was firm: "Tigers, wolves, cannibals, they should hold the court with their bare hands, silently, and say unscrupulously, they think that loyal subjects and righteous people will preach, although they are dead, it is a pity!

Brother Yan sighed and stopped persuading him.

Chen Xin didn't look back. Brother Qian is not afraid of death. He had the right to talk to officials during the Wanli years. Life cannot be exploited for the sake of one's own beliefs. They kill people and kill people, and it doesn't work to set an example. This kind of person is not convincing by common sense. You can't stop Brother Yan's tongue from being broken.

Today is October 9th. Chen Xin knew that Wei Zhongxian was going to be finished this year. That said, time is running out. Listening to what the two just said, the court officials have locked up Choi Sung-so. Cui Chengxiu is Wei Zhongxian's biggest helper in the outer courtyard and the minister of war. At present, the direction of the wind is unknown, and he does not dare to face Wei Zhongxian directly. Choi Seung-so became the best object to test the emperor's intentions.

A group of officials quickly finished their meal and returned to the various departments. Chen Xin was no longer interested in staying. When he came out, he saw the Zhengyang Gate closed. He had to go back the way he came. He wandered all the way to the lamp market near Chongwen Gate, and then returned to the inn.

Song Wenxian came back easily before dinner. When I arrived at Chen Xin's house, I told Chen Xin the news of his inquiry. "Brother Chen, I'm going to find a former colleague today. He now works as a housekeeper for a Beijing official. He said that before Sejong died, Choi was promoted to his own army. At present, the emperor's trust in nine thousand years has increased. "The capital seems to be calm. Song Wenxian said lightly.

"When the emperor ascended the throne on August 24, the director of the factory asked to leave on September 1, but the emperor was not allowed. Minister Cui of the Military Department, Zhou Gong (Zhou Yingqiu) of the Military Department, and Wang Tiqian, the eunuch, all refused to leave. Not only that, but the royal eunuchs and attendants, as well as the Jinyi guards, led the affairs of the Jin Kingdom. It is said that before the emperor's death, Xizong told him to reuse his attendants. Now it seems that you probably won't stop accepting this position. However, now that you're here, the matter of accepting the rank is almost over. ”

Chen Xin walked slowly back and forth in the room. Song Wenxian is obviously more reliable than Qin Lufang in teahouses and vegetable markets.

Song Wenxian was very optimistic, but Chen Xin naturally knew that Chongzhen would not let Wei Zhongxian go. Chen Xin's goal is to profit from the counter-case and attract Chongzhen's attention. In the future, he will climb to the top and make a lot of money. But once the operation is not good, it is also dangerous. Chongzhen's strategy was to stabilize Wei Zhongxian first, and then boil the frog in warm water. Chongzhen himself was responsible for the fire. If he suddenly played with fire, could he let it disrupt Chongzhen's steps. Wei Zhongxian did not die, but put himself inside. Before Sejong's death, Choi Seung-so was appointed Minister of Military Affairs. It must be because of Wei Zhongxian's intentions. It can be seen that Wei Zhongxian is also prepared. If there is a disagreement, you have to fight with Chongzhen.

It turned out that he planned to bribe Wen Tieren and give him a gift of several thousand taels of silver. By the way, he can get some information about the government. Wen Tilun was Chongzhen's longest assistant. He did not step down until the tenth year of Chongzhen. It's good for him to settle down early. Although this man was passed down by a traitor, this is a new thing for Chen Shui-bian. He had always wanted to give him silver before he was strong, but it was a pity that Qin Lufang hadn't heard of the people in the capital. Later, Song Wenxian asked him. He was still in the south of Zhili.

Chen Xin glanced at Song Wenxian. Bad scholars don't have the same heart for themselves. He did not dare to discuss these issues with him. If he works wholeheartedly for himself, he is a good military division. I'm a rotten soldier now. If it weren't for the interests of maritime trade, I don't think the bad scholars would want to look at themselves.

"Mr. Song is right, but since the matter of accepting the military rank has not stopped, it can be postponed for a few days. We rarely come to the capital, so we will visit nearby and take our time. ”

Song Wenxian was not in a hurry at this time. He heard: "Brother Chen wants to see the store, just make it clear." ”

Chen Xin didn't explain, and said with a smile: "It really depends on the store." I don't want Japanese swords anymore. No need. "The margins on this table are too low, and it's slow to sell. It's better not to do that. I'll help you look around. ”

In the following days, Chen Xin still sent people to inquire about the news. He went to the yard where he bought it to take a closer look at the environment. Indeed, as Qin Lufang said, there are alleys around. Most of the residents in the hutongs are foreigners, and many do business near Chongwenmen, mostly in Zhejiang. According to Qin Lufang, the neighbors are relatively estranged, and there is not much interaction between them. The street outside Chongwenmen is densely populated. Chen Xin is very satisfied with the surrounding environment of the courtyard. He made two turns and made a note of the path. At other times, he took Lu Donkey around the capital and the military headquarters, and also looked at some shops in the Chongwenmen area. Haigouzi and Zhang Cong were inquiring about the situation near Qipan Street. Song Wenxian had been waiting for several days, but he was already impatient. He urged Chen Xin to deal with the issue of accepting military ranks as soon as possible.

So, on October 15, when Chen Xin was still at the inn, Zhang Dahui rushed back and said to Chen Xin: "Chen, Brother Chen, yesterday there was a person named Yang Weiyuan who wrote a letter to impeach Cui Chengxiu. ”

"Where did you ask?"

"The twenty taels of silver you gave me, I gave it to a little eunuch who went out of the palace to buy it. Listen to him. ”

Chen Xin said to himself: "Is what he said accurate? What is he doing in the palace?"

Zhang Dahui said: "It should be accurate. I only met him yesterday. He used to be the leader of Wong Ti-chien's kitchen staff. In the past, several eunuchs took turns providing food to Emperor Xizong. Now, after the new emperor entered the palace, he changed to chairman of the board of directors. It is not yet clear what the new emperor will do. He said that we were afraid of following the wrong person and asked for the news all day long, so it was not difficult to know what the news was. ”

Chen Xinzan said: "Well done, can you ask about the content of the impeachment?"

Mr. Zhang asked, "Is this true? He doesn't know." He just knew. Yang Weiyuan is also a royal historian. ”

Chen Xin was anxious to say, "Probe again", and then his men rushed out. But he knew he couldn't. With current resources, it is difficult to know exactly what these memorials are about. But as long as it's impeachment.

"What's your name?"

"I said I wanted to be a palace eunuch. I asked him to inquire about my husband. Ask Choi Sung-so slowly. ”

Chen Xin also smiled: "Entering the palace is very good for you." There are many white boxes. Feel free to feel it. ”

He thought for a while and said to Zhang Dahui, "Let's wait a minute." Whatever he impeached, we will find him. Go to the vicinity of the capital first, follow this Yang Weiyuan, and notify me as soon as you find his house. ”

"I see. ”

On the afternoon of October 17, in Fangjia Hutong in the north of the inner city, two people carrying sedan chairs walked slowly with a small sedan chair. A butler accompanies the sedan chair. Yunnan Taoist Yang Weiyuan sat very deep in the sedan chair. On the 14th, he impeached Choi Seung-so (Note 2), who was rebuked by the emperor. As one of Wei Zhongxian's thugs, he is well aware of the subtleties of the current situation. If Choi Seung-so was in his position when Wei Zhongxian asked him to impeach Choi Seung-so, he also understood Wei's intentions.

The emperor rejected his memorials, either to settle down with his ministers, or to suspect that they were merely a trial of the ministers. At present, the minister has decided to pay tribute to Choi Seung-so, and asked himself to go back to commemorate it, so that Choi Seung-so will bear all the responsibility.

He rubbed his forehead. In the more than a month since Chongzhen came to power, only Yang Shuo has played a plaque to impeach Choi Seung-so. The most important part of Yang Weiyuan's memorial service on the 14th was the impeachment of Choi Sung-so as a soldier. His younger brother was appointed general of Zhejiang, involving sensitive content. The whole dynasty knew. Many admired him and earned him a great reputation.

Today, a second monument to impeach Choi Seung-so was submitted. Yang Weiyuan is more than willing to do so. If either side wins, it's good for him. Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on his face. "My head is safe. Yang Weiyuan sighed with satisfaction.

"Kill it!" Suddenly, there was a big explosion.

Yang Weiyuan was excited. The butler outside the sedan chair screamed, and then the sound of the landing. Yang Weiyuan panicked and was about to kick off. The two men carrying the sedan chair screamed, and the sedan chair fell to the ground.

Yang Weiyuan's head hit Mu Fang, and passers-by screamed outside. Yang Weiyuan got down from the sedan chair, dizzy and swollen. His eyes were swept away, and the sedan chair man in front of him lay on the ground moaning, surrounded by the back of a fleeing passerby.

"Kill it!" a thin figure flashed beside him. He waved a flat pole and hit Yang Weiyuan's arm with a snap. Yang Weiyuan's finger bone was broken. He screamed. Suddenly, out of nowhere, he jumped up and ran towards the door.

As soon as he ran out ten steps, the footsteps behind him sounded, and another flat pole hit him on the back, Yang Weiyuan's feet were unsteady and fell to the ground, he turned around and looked at the three people behind him in horror. All three of them covered their faces with black cloths, revealing only their eyes. On either side were two men with poles, one of them with a bright short knife, both driven by a ferocious force.

"You, what do you want to do? I'm an official of the imperial court. I am the Inspector of the capital... Ahh

Before Yang Weiyuan finished speaking, a man carrying a flat burden next to him hit his leg again, and immediately broke his leg bone. Yang Weiyuan's painful words were not clear, "No, don't kill me, everyone."

The man in the middle crouched down and looked at him and said, "If you don't want to die, you should answer honestly." Who ordered you to impeach Lady Choi the other day?"

"No, no, I'm not impeached... Ah......h

The knife holder kicked and broke his leg, and Yang Weiyuan burst into tears.

"I said, it's the factory, the director ......"

The knife bearer sneered: "Factory director, who are you deceiving? Master Cui is the son of the factory director, who will break his arm? There are many lies. ”

A nearby man with a flat pole looked around and reminded him, "Brother, stop him." Now it's time for the Terracotta Department to come. ”

The holder nodded slightly. In Yang Weiyuan's panic, he suddenly raised the knife in his hand and shouted: "The traitor is dead......"

"Mom!!" Yang Weiyuan screamed and closed his eyes.

Now is the moment of truth. Just listen to the thud, and the wielder will follow with a low buzz. After walking a few steps, he asked, "Who are you?"

Yang Weiyuan survived, opened his eyes, and saw a pair of black tartar boots beside him. He looked up and saw a man in a hundred official uniforms standing there.

I only heard him whisper: "During the day, at the feet of the emperor, how can you wait for a small murder at night." ”

The three people on the opposite side glanced at each other and rushed forward and shouted.

Yang Weiyuan's heart once again mentioned his voice, afraid that a hundred schools of thought would contend, he hurriedly shouted: "Be careful, my lord." ”

"Ahh

Who knew that a hundred schools of thought contended, gently waved his fist, and knocked back the leader who killed people with a knife three steps, and the hundred schools of thought contended to dodge two flat poles. Then they rushed at the murderer, who was wielding a flat pole, and fought him. The fists were fierce, and they knocked the three of them back one by one.

"General Tiger!" Yang Weiyuan exclaimed. A hundred schools of thought contend. They chased the three men and beat them severely. The three masked men fled in a hurry, their shoulders gone.

"This lord, catch a live one. Seeing the favorable situation, Yang Weiyuan put forward new requirements.

"Great. A hundred schools of thought contended to catch up with three. Yang Weiyuan broke his leg and couldn't move. The butler and the two men carrying the sedan chair slowly climbed up to help him.

"Go away, useless waste. I was almost killed. You know, if it weren't for those 100 families, I would have fought to the end. Fuck off, fuck off. Yang Weiyuan cursed a few people loudly. The housekeeper was very obedient and did not dare to explain or help him.

Yang Weiyuan finished scolding, and the hundred families came back, and they were dyed red by cutting off part of their sleeves. Yang Weiyuan endured the pain at this time and looked at the hundreds of households carefully. He was tall and handsome, wearing the official uniform of a hundred schools of thought, and his prestige was outstanding.

Hundreds of schools of thought came to Yang Weiyuan and said to him: "My lord, those murderers still have someone to answer. I can't catch a single one of them. Please forgive me. ”

When Yang Weiyuan saw that he was injured, he didn't want to blame him. He said, "Thank you so much for saving your life, my lord. I've had enough of your injuries. Why forgive me? I haven't asked your name yet.

Chen Xin pretended to be a warrior and grinned: "My corporal Chen Xin is a member of hundreds of thousands of households in Weihaiwei. I'm here to receive capital. ”

Yang Weiyuan heard that this person was from Shandong. Although he didn't really see a fighter, he was grateful that someone had just saved his life. At present, he invited: "This official is Yang Weiyuan, an inspector on Yunnan Road in Dujiangyuan. His humble house wasn't far from here. Chen Baihu was willing to go with the official or ask a doctor to treat Chen Baihu's injuries. ”

Chen Xin looked at his leg and said, "I'm not afraid of flesh injuries, but I'm afraid that the corporal is worried that these bad guys will come back, so he will escort the adults back to the house first." ”

Yang Weiyuan couldn't get it. He was lying on the street. His hands and feet hurt. Neither the butler nor the palanquin driver are reliable. He was afraid of murderers and other accomplices. Chen Xin and the housekeeper agreed to help Yang Weiyuan and carefully put him in the sedan chair.

The sedan chair swayed all the way, and Lord Yang moaned inside, all the way to Yang Weiyuan's house. If you want to say that the salary of Jinyiwei is not high, but the mansion is not bad, and the gate looks bright.

The butler shouted from afar. Two men came out the inner door. Seeing this, another one went back and called for someone, and then two or three servants came out. They all brought Yang Weiyuan in.

Chen Xinluo is behind. Seeing that the butler hurriedly ran out to call the doctor, he took the butler and said to him: "Go to the Beicheng Military and Horse Bureau to report and say that someone is going to kill your family and let them protect them." The housekeeper agreed to go out.

When Chen Xin caught up, Yang Weiyuan loudly reminded several servants not to touch his wounds.

"Light, tell you not to touch your legs, your dogs, and your fingers... Yes. Slow down, slow down. ”

In Yang Weiyuan's scolding, it was easy to put him on the bed. Chen Xin followed him all the way in. The terrace with three entrances is wide. It wasn't a quadrangle, it was a mansion. The rockery and fish pond in the three entrance gardens are mixed with flowers and trees. It can be seen that Yang Weiyuan earned a lot of extra money with the help of eunuchs, or he couldn't afford the salary of a royal historian and couldn't afford to buy such a good mansion.

As soon as Yang Weiyuan was taken away, several wives and concubines ran in and wiped their tears beside Yang Weiyuan.

"Get out. I didn't see any guests here. "If it weren't for Chen Baihu, you would have to mourn. Several wives and concubines hurriedly thanked Chen Xin.

Yang Weiyuan lay down for a while and said to the servant, "Please give Chen Baihu a seat." Today, thanks to Chen Baihu, Chen Baihu said that he came to accept the military rank. I have some feelings in the military department. If there is any difficulty, just let me know. Ah......h

His leg hurt so badly that he had to moan again.

Chen Xin said: "Your Excellency can rest assured, how dare you let some trivial matters of the servants disturb your adult?" He saw that everything was almost over. Yang Weiyuan's role is like that. He just had to say his name.

Chen Xin then said to Yang Weiyuan: "Just now the lord said that you are Yang Weiyuan's official in the imperial court?"

Yang Weiyuan nodded with difficulty, and Chen Xin suddenly stood up and said loudly: "It turns out that you are the censor of Yang Weiyuan, who impeached Cui Chengxiu. How lucky are you to help adults?"

"Huh?" Yang Weiyuan looked blankly at the excited hundred households.

"Lord Yang is not afraid of powerful traitors and impeached Choi Seung-so. Everyone in the capital said that adults could be compared with the six gentlemen of the East. ”

Yang Weiyuan heard it wrong, and hurriedly stopped Chen Xin and said, "Chen Baihu, this is."

Chen Xin said categorically: "Lord Yang, don't tell me. Today, it must be Choi Sung-so who threatens to take revenge in private and find someone to hurt him. Although I am a martial artist, I also know the justice of the world. I'm sure I can get you justice. ”

After that, he did not wait for Yang Weiyuan to speak. He walked a few steps before getting out.

Yang Weiyuan stayed for a while, but he couldn't stand up anymore, so he shouted: "Chen Baihu, it's not like this, don't be reckless." ”

Chen Xin's voice came from afar: "Adults, don't worry, wait for my news ......"

At this delicate moment, Choi Sung-so's rookie was impeached and attacked, and the housekeeper Yang Weiyuan reported the case to the Beicheng Military and Horse Department, and it became widely known the next day. Naturally, the Wucheng Military and Horse Department knew the seriousness of the incident and immediately sent people to protect Yang Weiyuan's residence. It was on that day that the investigation began. Many people thought that Cui Chengxiu did it, but I heard that Yang Weiyuan did not testify against Cui Chengxiu. At the same time, hundreds of families from Shandong Province have appeared here. One of them repelled three murderers and rescued Yang Weiyuan. He is said to have been injured, but we only know about his condition. At this time, Chen Xin was listening to the story of Lu Donkey in the secluded courtyard of the east square outside Chongwen Gate.

"Yesterday, when we left Fangjia Lane, we went to Biandan Lane for the first time to change clothes. Then from an alley to Chongwenmen, then to the light market, and back to Chongwenmen Street. As you say, the three men walked separately, ten paces apart. I turned around three times in the middle, and no one followed. I've been here every once in a while. ”

"Have you taken care of the change of clothes?"

Qin Gang said: "I went to Xuanwu Gate to enter the city and threw it near Mingyufang, where Cui Chengxiu was located. ”

"Well, you're all doing a great job. "We are dealing with all the powerful people in the imperial court. We have to be careful in everything. We'd rather spend more money than be safe first," Chan said

Zhang and Haigouzi also nodded. After all, they all knew that it was a felony to beat a court person, and Chen Xin, in order to eliminate the characteristics that might be investigated, and make the three of them feel very novel, let them change their clothes and walk separately and detour in the most crowded light market.

"From today, all three of you are here. Don't go out

"What's the matter, my lord?" Qin said

"You can only buy food for one person per day, and other people's food can be prepared in advance. ”

"I'm ready. According to adults, I buy more every few days after I arrived in the capital. It's not obvious, but it's only enough for three people to eat for a month. ”

"Enough. You're doing a great job too. You still go out for tea and play every day as before. Don't be different. ”

"I see, sir. ”

"Brother Chen, we won't go out. What would you do if you met someone with green skin?" the fur seal asked with a smile

Chen Xinhe said with a smile: "I beat the three of you alone, I'm afraid of green skin." ”

When they knew what he had said yesterday, all four laughed.

Chen Xin smiled and said, "There are also Dai Zhenggang and Zhu Guobin, don't worry." ”

Lu Donkey asked Chen Xin with a little suspicion: "Brother, what's the use of beating Yang Weiyuan like this? Big brother saved him, does the emperor want to promote you?"

Chen Xin shook his head: "It is not easy for the emperor to promote your official position. All of Daming's promotions have rules and regulations, and he doesn't want to be promoted. ”

"Big brother, then we're not useless. ”

"Yes, but one more thing. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Swear!"

The military official office on the west side of Qianbulang is divided into Qing Dynasty official office, Qing Dynasty official office, Qing Dynasty official office, Qing Dynasty official office and Qing Dynasty official office. Each department has its own doctors, principals, and civil servants. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were five military Du Fu, who were responsible for the management of the National Guard. When the army was sent out, the military ministry temporarily appointed the commander, awarded the seal, and sent it back to India. Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the detention center has been corrupt, and the civilian status has suppressed the officers. The position of military Du Fu became the office of a military officer. The military power is completely subordinate to the military department, and even directly interferes with the command of the top management and command structures of front-line commanders.

At this time, in the afternoon, officials in various military uniforms and cultural official uniforms came and went through the front doors and halls of the military department, which seemed to be no different from a normal day, and the appearance was very calm.

After the new emperor ascended the throne in August, he did not change his official position at first, but it can be seen from the continuous exploration of the eunuch party that the situation is still delicate. While the eunuch party occupied most of the branches of power, the emperor occupied orthodoxy. More than a month after Chongzhen ascended the throne, the advantage is slowly shifting. War Minister Choi Sung-soo, who is on the cusp, has submitted his resignation twice. Although the emperor did not approve it, the officials of various departments of the Ministry of War were all old sparrows in the officialdom. I knew it wouldn't be that simple.

As expected, on the 17th, Jiang Shiying, a doctor from the Shenwu Election Department, proposed to be the deputy envoy of Zhejiang Province, and Liu Jia, a doctor from the Zhifang Election Department, met with the deputy envoy of Huguang. These two departments are the most important departments of the War Department. Although the promotion is fat and short, he is only a deputy after all. Promotions are just a secret. In addition, since the establishment of the policy, the cabinet and the head of protocol of Meiji have expressed no objection. Presumably, the director of the factory may abandon Choi Sung-so.

And yesterday, it happened that Yang Weiyuan wrote a letter again to impeach Choi Chengxiu, who was assassinated on his way to work. We all know that in the current sensitive period, everyone thinks that Choi Sung-so is very suspicious. As is customary, Choi Sung-so may need to defend himself and then leave again. After hearing the news, some royal officials have already begun to prepare for another impeachment.

Qian Yuangu, the newly appointed director of the Military Election Department of the Ministry of War, was in the hall of the Military Election Division. Jiang Shiying was transferred, and Qian Yuangu will temporarily be in charge of the military selection department. The location is fat. He is ready to get rich, but if he wants to be rich in the long run, he must understand politics and stand his ground. Qian Yuangu has not yet made up his mind. He was going to wait and see, but Choi Sung-so seemed to be able to fight

There was footsteps outside the door. Qian Yuangu squinted and glanced at it. A tall officer in a hundred schools of thought uniform walked in with a smile. He is gentle, but not as violent as the average warrior.

"Vulgar warrior!" Qian Yuanyuan still scolded in her heart, closed her eyes and nourished her heart. Such a sixth-rank officer, although also a sixth-rank officer, is similar to an officer who sweeps the floor and cooks.

"What's wrong with this person?" said the bookstore next to him lazily

Chen Xin smiled and said, "I'll be a junior officer." ”。

"What location?" asked the bookseller

Chen Xin secretly scolded in his heart. It was clear that he was blind in the eyes of the dogs. However, he still said kindly: "I am a real servant, and I want to accept the rank of thousands of troops." ”

"Okay, the file can be sent. Bank receipts can be found in the Accounting Department. ”

Chen Xin took out the document from his arms, held it in his hand, and sent it to the bookstore. I reached for the newspaper and felt a hard object underneath. He touched it, there were about five taels, and hundreds of families knew about it. They nodded softly and accepted softly.

When the bookstore checks the documents, there is no problem. He winked at Chen Xin and gently shook his head at Qian Yuangu. He said: "This is the director of the Military Election Department, and Qian is the director of the Military Election Department. ”

Chen Xinping knelt on the ground: "It turned out to be Mr. Qian." He went to the capital. He didn't know Tarzan. He was just rude. ”

Qian Yuan couldn't open his eyes. He made a sound from his nostrils. Thousands of families knew that the culture was high and the army was low, and they did not call him. They understated: "Although the documentation is complete, the official products involve the official bodies of the occupational sector." Even when attacked and replaced, they must learn the military skills of bows and horses. They must have both ability and integrity. ”

Qian Yuankui said that this was all a matter of the early Ming Dynasty. At that time, the military official Arita had a high status. Bullying of civil servants happens from time to time. But it is now the end of the Ming Dynasty. There is also a fart horse, which was tested by a stallion. Chen Xin exclaimed: "The stallion is very capable, but I haven't read many books. In the future, I will ask for more opinions from adults, but I do have a loyal heart to serve the country. "I hope you succeed. Chen Xin said as he respectfully handed over the document. He was holding a deceitful Dongzhu in his hand.

Qian Yuanguo still closed his eyes, leaned his head on the back of the chair and said: "In the future, when you use military service, it is unacceptable for more than 1,000 households with less than 1,000 households. Can you figure it out?"

"If you have a definite idea, your servant's idea is to fight for the face of his ancestors. ”

Qian Yuangu slowly picked up the paper and touched the beads underneath. His face didn't move at all. The salaries of the six capital officials are not high. They all want to be promoted or moved somewhere else. When there is a real shortage, they spend a lot of money. So at that time, some officials said that the annual cost of promoting officials was the salary of several Liao people.

Qian Yuangu touched it and knew that it was a good pearl. He looked at the document as he looked at it. It seems to be Dongzhu, all of which are produced in Liaodong. After being occupied by the Tatars, the price of Kannai Tojo rose a lot. Qian Yuangu was very satisfied, because Chen Xinwen's book was complete, and it was just a matter of formalities. A Dongzhu worth dozens of taels is very respectable.

"Although it is not allowed to hold a real position at the level of less than 1,000 households, it is not the same. "As long as there is both ability and integrity, there are exceptions. Qian Yuangu's tone was slightly relaxed. He looked up and saw that Chen Xin was still kneeling. He asked Chen Xin to stand up magnanimously. Every time Chen Xin knelt down, these people were full of anger. The most annoying thing is that he has to pretend to be happy. Especially at the moment, the old civil servants, like him, are all in the sixth grade, and the shelves are bigger than the governors of the third grade.

Flipping through the literature, Qian Yuangu saw the three characters Weihaiwei in the literature, and was about to ask the bookstore to consult the "Yellow Book of Military Chronicles". Suddenly, he remembered the rumors of the past two days and asked, "Chen Baihu, are you a soldier of Shandong Weishuo?"

"Yes, there are hundreds. Just two years ago, they gathered in Weihaiwei and became a small flag because of their merits. During this year's Ningjin War, lower-level officials did meticulous work to capture, kill, and build slaves, resulting in hundreds of households. "The yellow roll reported to the War Department was written three years ago. Two years ago, Mr. Song specifically instructed Mr. Chen to fold the collection so he could explain why the yellow book did not have his name.

Qian Xuesen paused and said, "Oh, so you don't have to read the yellow book." "When did Chen Baihu arrive in Beijing? Did you hear about Beicheng yesterday?"

"Mr. Qian said that Yang Yushi was assassinated? I happened to be here yesterday

Qian Yuangu opened his eyes slightly and looked at Chen Xinyi carefully. He didn't say whether he was good or bad. He asked, "So you are a hundred households." I heard you're hurting? Can you repeat that?"

Chen Xin picked up his right sleeve and saw blood stains on the bandage and cotton cloth. He said, "I asked you if you had any minor injuries. Never mind. ”

Qian Yuan couldn't believe it now, but he still didn't think this person was great.

He sat on the chair and pretended to ask Chen Xin casually: "You are a hundred schools of thought, and you have a bit of martial arts." At that time, could the thieves leave a clue?"

Chen Xindao: "The corporal is not a soldier, but an upright and upright soldier. He and other murderers, such as Li Qu, were angry and suicidal. Of course, they are not inferior opponents. It's a pity I didn't catch any of them. When I heard the thief ask Yang why he wanted to impeach an adult and call him a traitor. The corporal must have been the one who hired the murderer to take revenge. If lower-level officials can go up and down, they will impeach him. ”

Qian Yuanyuan didn't dare to ask again. He quietly accepted the beads. He turned his head to Chen Xin and said, "Well said, it's up to the waiter to decide." Then you go back and wait for the news. It usually comes down after a few days. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Money. Chen Xin retired after the ceremony.

Qian Yuangu waited for him to go out before he felt out the beads and looked carefully at the table. Suddenly, he heard a hundred schools of thought in the military hall.

"Choi Sung-so, you traitor!!"

Qian Yuanyuan's eyes widened.
