Xu Hu and the three of them went to the military headquarters first in the morning, and the military headquarters walked very smoothly.

He knew that the Shuangyu pirates were recruited by Yang Xu, the Duke of the Auxiliary State, and vaguely knew that they had another relationship with Yang Xu, so he took good care of them, and before the court, he specially gave an explanation to the managers and directors of the Ministry of War, so the people in the Ministry of War were very polite to Xu Hu and the three of them, and the procedures were handled smoothly under the care of Ru Chang.

The three of them went away anxiously, things went so smoothly, they were also very happy, they came out of the military headquarters, saw noon, first went to a restaurant to have some food, and then rushed to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Xu Hu and the three of them learned from Xia Qing that most of the officials of the Ministry of War were from civilian backgrounds, so when they visited the Ministry of War, they specially brought a few pieces of Japanese lacquerware and fans, which were also precious, and they were stained with elegant light.

And the officials of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies are all real warriors, so the greeting gift he prepared was a few Japanese swords. The knives prepared by Xu Hu are in good condition, not much worse than the three-carcass knives that Xia Xun captured in Xiangshan. The quality of Japanese swords is generally better than that of Daming's swords, and the quality of the few knives he specially selected is even better.

The three of them carried knives, and entered the governor's mansion of the five armies in a hurry, and the guards guarding the door asked the three of them about their intentions, and checked the official certificates and waist cards, and then brought the three inside. The guard took the three of them into a signing room and said to an official who was eating tea inside: "Zheng Experience, these adults are here to report and get seals. ”

Zheng experienced eating tea and answered lazily, without even raising his eyelids: "Oh! Where is the official? ”

This Zheng experienced thirty-five or sixteen years of age, with an ordinary appearance and a thin body, sitting in a huge Taishi chair, like a monkey squatting there. Zheng Cheng's name is Zheng Xiaobu, don't look at his small officials, when he arrives at the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, let you command thousands of troops and horses in the local area, how to say one thing, you have to be harmonious and behaving here, he really doesn't need to take you seriously.

The guard replied: "It is Lord Xu Hu, the commander of the Shuangyu guard of the East China Sea just established by the imperial court, and the two adults of the deputy commanders, Ren Juying and Zhang Yuxia. ”

"Oh?" Zheng Xiaobu raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Hu and the three of them, Xu Hong smiled modestly: "Zheng Experience, the three of us came to the Governor's Mansion to meet Shangguan and receive the seal ribbon, we have just become officials, and many rules are not clear, and I ask Zheng Experience to give me more advice." ”

"Hey......"

Zheng Xiaobu pulled the male duck's throat and laughed twice, and said in a weird manner: "The adults are too polite, don't dare to give advice." Speaking of which, the lower officials have worked hard for more than ten years in the army, and with the remnants of their ancestors, they have survived this experience, how can you be compared to you, being a pirate, doing something to bully men and women, and robbing houses, so happy, happy enough, bow down to the court, hey! A four-grade guard commander is in hand, which is enviable. ”

Ren Juying is the leader of the pirates, dominating one side, happy and vengeful, when has he been so entertained by others, his face changed suddenly, and on the other side, Zhang Yuxia is a man of action, his shoulders shook slightly, and he was about to rush over, Xu Hu stopped them with both hands and immediately restrained them.

Zheng Xiaobu sighed twice, and said with a smile: "What, you still want to do it?" What kind of place is this where you can go wild? ”

Xu Hu said in a deep voice: "Zheng experience, we are waiting for the official position of the imperial court, and we are receiving the imperial court. Although the yamen of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is large, it should not deceive people too much. This official has just been to the Ministry of War, and the official of the Ministry of War is a big official, but he has never humiliated this official like this, you! With just an eight-grade experience, how dare you insult Shangguan like this? ”

Zheng Xiaobu sneered when he heard this: "No matter where you come from, I haven't seen anyone play music in front of me, official?" I have seen a lot of officials, but it is the first time that the official who burned incense and worshiped the Buddha and entered the wrong temple gate has seen it! ”

Zheng Xiaobu said, then turned sideways, waved his hand and said, "The enterprise is busy, you can go back first." ”

Xu Hu forgived and said: "Zheng experience, then when will we be able to see Yi..."

Zheng Xiaobu's chin fell, he spit out a mouthful of tea foam, didn't look at them, and said lightly: "You just wait, come and order every day, when luck meets an adult and is free, I will naturally see you." As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and said, "Is it an official if you wear an official robe?" Hmph, it's a dog, you can't change eating! ”

The voice of this sentence was very small, but it was enough for the three of them to hear clearly, although he was not saying it to Xu Hu and the others, he was clearly insulting them. Zhang Yuxia and Ren Juying were furious, left and right, and rushed over like a whirlwind, this time Xu Hu didn't stop him, he stood there, standing like a mountain.

Xu Hu remembered his promise to Xia Qing, but he was not a rebel, but a flat man!

If being an official has to suffer such a bird anger, then he would rather not be an official!

As soon as Zhang Yuxia raised his legs, he kicked the heavy pear wood bookcase and flew into the air, the paper, ink, pen, inkstone, and stacked official documents on the table flew everywhere.

But he didn't fall to the ground, because the tall and tall Ren Juying had arrived, Ren Juying grabbed his collar "Peng", Zheng Xiaobu was short and thin, and the whole person was lifted up by Ren Juying, and the big slap of the pu fan slapped him in the face: "***, Lao Tzu is so big, when will he be humiliated like this, you have a small eight-grade experience, is it amazing, Lao Tzu is a general from the fourth grade, standing here to be humiliated by you."

A few big mouths fanned down, and Zheng Xiaobu's monkey face was really more moisturizing than a monkey's buttocks. His mouth was full of blood, wow wow yelled, the guard at the door saw that something was wrong, the local military attachés arrived at the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and suffered a lot of anger, Yan Ke never saw anyone dare to fight, this guard hurriedly went out to shout people, and after a moment of effort, a group of guards came in, one by one with guns and knives, and the momentum was violent.

Ren Juying looked at it, threw Zheng Xiaobu aside, took out the Japanese sword that was ready to be given as a gift, and the three brothers stood in a zigzag shape, although they didn't dare to do it, but those guards had never seen this situation, and they didn't know how to deal with it, so the two sides were at a stalemate.

Xie Guangsheng, the governor of the enterprise, had just gotten up after a sleep, and after only two sips of a cup of tea, Zheng Xiaobu ran in with a mouth full of blood, and cried as soon as he entered the door: "Your Excellency, someone has come to the door to make trouble." ”

Xie Guangsheng couldn't help laughing when he saw his appearance: "Haha, Xiaobu, who did you offend and make people look like this?" ”

This Xie Qishi has a slender and majestic figure, thick eyebrows, a pair of phoenix eyes, a nose like a hanging gall, three locks of long hair, and he was born with a dignified appearance, although he is in his forties, he can still be called a beautiful man. But don't look at him as a Confucian general, but he knows very few words.

The selection of officials in the imperial court is very important to appearance, when the military department of the military selection department selected officials, at that time he accumulated military exploits, has been a thousand households, Wu Xuan Lang saw his majestic appearance, very satisfied, but also to examine his literature, for a military general, the so-called literature, literacy is done, that Lang Zhong wrote the word "acupuncture" on the paper to him to recognize, Xie Guangsheng saw it, opened his mouth and said: "Tie Duo"! Wu Xuan Langzhong laughed, he didn't want to, but after all, he felt that this person looked amazing, and finally agreed to appoint him as the commander of Wei.

From thousands of households to the commander of the guard, it was a hurdle, Xie Guangsheng has been able to rise step by step since then, until now he has accumulated qualifications and has become a governor of the enterprise and a member of the three products.

Zheng Xiaobu cried: "My lord, someone has rebelled.

Today, the former Shuangyu pirates who were recruited by the imperial court came to our governor's mansion to receive the seals, and they were a little disliked because they were rude and did not know the etiquette. I also heard that they went to the military department first, and then the governor's mansion of the five armies, which obviously didn't take us seriously, so he mocked them a few words. It's also a lowly mouth, who knows that these pirates have no spare eyes, and they are used to being arrogant, so they stepped forward, kicked over the lowly public case, and slapped a few lowly mouths, and that's it. My lord, compared with them, the officials who are as big as sesame mung beans will be beaten and beaten, but when this matter spreads, how can we save face in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies? ”

When Xie Guangsheng heard this, his face sank.

To say that the relationship between the governor's office of the five armies and the local guards is actually far above the military department. All military hereditary officials, liuguan officials, and local officials must be reported to the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces, and then transferred by the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces to the Ministry of War. After the approval of the Ministry of War, the specific issuance and appointment must also go through the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces. Others, such as the military attaché's edict, the drill of water and land foot cavalry, the army's clearance and substitution, the rations, the tun fee and the equipment of the tun plant, the boats and vehicles, the military information, the map of the belly, the salary and the thorn reed, etc., were also solved by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies in collusion with other relevant yamen.

That is to say, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of War only had the right to transfer troops, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies was the central organ that oversaw the internal and external military. The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies became the echo worm of the Ministry of War, and it was subject to the Ministry of War everywhere, which was a matter of the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Xu Hu and others should worship the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies first, and then go to the Ministry of War. It's a pity that these people don't know at all, and Xia Xun himself is not an official who has risen step by step, and he doesn't know much about these common sense, so when he pointed them out, he only mentioned these two yamen, and did not mention the order.

Zheng Xiaobu was beaten, Xie Guangsheng didn't care, but Zheng Xiaobu was beaten and affected the reputation of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Xie Guangsheng couldn't bear it, especially when he heard that they went to the military department first, and then the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, they didn't put the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in their eyes at all, and Xie Guangsheng felt even more hatred.

This rough man jumped up, patted Zheng Xiaoben's shoulder, and said: "Xiaobu, you did the right thing, Lao Tzu go and take a look, no matter how horizontal they are, they can beat Lao Tzu!" ”

The officials in the governor's palace of the five armies have a strong bureaucratic atmosphere, especially the six departments. Because the officials of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies have always been served by the Governors, the highest level is the Metropolitan Governor, and the officials who can take this level are princes such as Xu Zengshou and Li Jinglong, and most of the second-level officials are also Honorable Relatives, and a small number of them have risen step by step according to their qualifications.

These middle-level military attaches are even more difficult than the governors, because most of them are not only from noble backgrounds, but also far less mobile than the courtiers, and basically enter the governor's mansion and have been here for a lifetime, so the bureaucracy here is much more serious than that of the six ministries. Therefore, the atmosphere of seniority and xenophobia here is far more serious than that of other yamen. Since Xu Hu and the others offended the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Xie Guangsheng refused to take it lightly.

After Zhu Rafter became the emperor, the original Metropolitan Governor Xu Zengshou died, and Li Jinglongxiu "Taizu Records" went, and the current Metropolitan Governor was Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu and other princes. These princes are very familiar with Xia Xun, if they are here, they know that the bandits on Shuangyu Island have rescued the son, and the matter may not be big.

But they are not in the Governor's Mansion now. After the Dan people were registered in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, they were sent by Zhu Rafter to various places to rectify the troops and horses and incorporate the army of the Jianwen Old Dynasty, and the normal operation of the Governor's Mansion was still the responsibility of the original officials of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. They guarded the interests of the governors of the five armies very strictly, and no one could be offended.

Xie Guangsheng rushed out angrily, and a seductive smile flashed on Zheng Xiaobu's face with swollen cheeks, and he hurriedly followed.

Xie Guangsheng is the governor of the five armies, not only the principal, but also the position is higher than Xu Hu, as soon as he moves, Xu Hu and the others dare not move. Fighting with others and making trouble, no matter how you say it, using force with the governor of the enterprise is no different from rebellion, although Xu Hu doesn't know much about officialdom, but this simple truth is still understood.

As soon as the three of them put down their weapons, they were ordered by Xie Guangsheng to be tied up, dragged to the yamen and tied to the horse stake, for the crime of colliding with the ministry, each of them was punished with 30 lashes. When Xia Xun arrived, what he saw was the scene after Xu Hu and the others had just been tortured.

Xia Xun asked what had happened, and his face immediately became solemn. He didn't expect that Xu Hu and the three of them could cause such a big incident just by going to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to report and receive the seal. From a certain point of view, Shuangyu Island is printed with the label of his auxiliary prince, this matter was whipped on Xu Hu and them, but the mouth was slapped in his Xia Xun's face, if he ignored it, then he didn't have to pay attention to it in the future.

But if he wants to take care of it, now that the family members of the Governor's Mansion are not there, who can he negotiate with if he comes to the door? After Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng came back, wouldn't they have the feeling of being bullied and slapped in the face? Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng have a friendship with him, can they be closer than the people at his own yamen? They have just taken charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and they also need to establish their prestige.

In this game, there is no choice between the two ways. And it is impossible to give him time, wait for Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng to come back, and then mediate with them to settle the matter. Or, choose to make friends with two princes and give up the three pirates, but in this way, his officialdom will inevitably be greatly damaged, and I don't know how long it will take to recover; Or, try to protect Xu Hu and the three of them, regain face for these three rootless pirates, and offend two heavyweights at once while gaining their loyalty.

He didn't have a choice, and he had to choose!
