Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about it in this chapter! ）

On June 20, the 23rd year of Yongzhi, the emperor returned to the capital from Xuanqingguan.

Compared with the scene when he came, on the dragon chariot where the emperor returned, a lot of Taoist talismans were hung, which looked ...... It's like a hearse.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting was on Long Yuan's side, and followed behind the commander Sun Xian with a knife, and there was a chat between the two.

Although Sun Xian intended to show goodwill, after all, they were not very familiar with each other, so they talked about inconsequential things.

may really be because he is too old, Sun Xian is talking about his son most of the time, and from time to time he also says that he will ask Chen Xiaoting to take more care of him in the future.

This made Chen Xiaoting ask himself, how can he be qualified to take care of the Sun family, you are the commander of the dignified Jinyi Guard!

The journey began early in the morning, and there were people clearing the field all the way, so the emperor's team walked smoothly.

After two short rests, the time came to the afternoon, and the emperor finally returned to the palace in a sedan chair.

When the emperor got down from the dragon chariot and was about to change to a sedan chair, after seeing Chen Xiaoting who was guarding on the side, he rushed to Yu Peizhong on the side and said: "I said before that I would reward Chen Qing again, but what are the regulations?" ”

Yu Peizhong has always taken this matter to heart, because he knows better than anyone else that the emperor's attention to Xiangrui has naturally radiated to Chen Xiaoting.

Yu Peizhong replied: "Back to the emperor, the slave and maid have drawn up a few rewards, including silk and utensils, all of which are treasures of the Great Interior!" ”

Zhu Yujun nodded, and said, "Gifts are essential, but it's too thin, so let's ...... Reward him with a loose rank! ”

The words of the martial arts rank are not too out of place, so Yu Peizhong said: "Your Majesty, the deputy thousand households of Jinyi Wei are from the fifth grade, and according to the convention, the scattered rank should be one level higher, how about the first general of the fifth rank of martial arts?" ”

"Accurate!"

"Yes!"

And Chen Xiaoting heard all this, so he immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”

In this way, it also confirmed the fact that he was in the emperor's heart, so he is now especially grateful for the meteor that appeared in time.

Although there is little practical use for loose officials, this kind of honorary official position itself represents many things.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty today, after getting a loose official, the next goal should be a knighthood, and it is much easier for a military attache to get a knighthood than a civilian official.

Let's not talk about it that far, let's just say that among the high-ranking officials in Jinyiwei now, there are not many people who have been dismissed.

Most of the officials at the level of thousands of households in the capital can be given a dismissal when they leave office, and they basically don't think about it outside the capital.

The emperor's sedan chair left, Chen Xiaoting stood up, and Sun Xian, who was standing aside at this time, said: "Xiaoting, Emperor Longen, you have to work hard!" ”

"Thank you for your teachings!" Chen Xiaoting had a confident smile on his face.

At this moment, Sun Xian really felt that he was old, and at the same time, he also thought of Shen Yue.

In the face of such a son-in-law who can toss, can Shen Yue really hold it down? Shen Yue's dismissal was only a year earlier than Chen Xiaoting, but Chen Xiaoting was more than twenty years younger than him.

When leaving, Sun Xian secretly said in his heart: "I haven't seen such a young man for a long time!" ”

After Sun Xian left, all the hundreds of households under Chen Xiaoting gathered around him, and the compliments without money were as endless as a river.

"Oh, my lord...... It's General Wude! Niu Jingyun said with a smile.

"Okay, let's all go to their places, you've worked hard these days, let you reunite with your family tonight, and the official will invite you to drink tomorrow night!"

"My lord, tomorrow night it should be a lowly grade to say hello to you!" Wang Zhongde half-jokingly.

Although it was a half-joke, the other hundreds of households had to take it seriously, shouldn't the subordinates congratulate their bosses?

What's more, Chen Xiaoting is still a loose official who was personally rewarded by the emperor, which means that everyone knows what it is.

If it was because of the difference between the top and bottom before, they respected Chen Xiaoting's position as deputy Qianhu, and now they are worshipping Chen Xiaoting himself.

"My lord, what Wang Baihu said is reasonable, and it is ...... to congratulate the lord at a humble level."

"That's right...... That's exactly how it should be! ”

Wang Zhongde's words immediately attracted a strong response, so Niu Jingyun immediately answered: "My lord, according to the humble opinion, don't wait for tomorrow night, I will put a wine to congratulate you tonight!" ”

Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but smile lightly, he felt the loyalty of his subordinates, which made him satisfied enough, but whether he drank or not seemed not so important.

"Forget it, let's go back tomorrow night, and go back tonight to rest!" Chen Xiaoting said indifferently.

If these guys don't go home, Chen Xiaoting has to go back to see Shen Yi first, after all, he is a pregnant person.

Seeing that Chen Xiaoting's expression was flat, Niu Jingyun and the others were also interested people, so they immediately changed their words: "My lord said it was late, then tomorrow night!" ”

After ending the nonsense with his subordinates and arranging for tonight's ban on duty, Chen Xiaoting rode out of the palace.

It has been more than half a month since he left the Shen Mansion, and I don't know what major events have happened in the capital.

But under him, there are well-informed people who are following him at this time.

"My lord, these days when we are not in the capital, the newly established West Factory can show its face!" Yang Kai rode a horse and followed Chen Xiaoting's side.

Regarding the news of the West Factory, Chen Xiaoting suddenly showed a look of listening, so he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"It is said that several officials wanted to write a letter to slander His Majesty, but they were intercepted by the people of Xichang, and they were charged with slandering the monarch's father, and then they were taken to the prison of Xichang!"

Speaking of this, Yang Kai couldn't help but sigh and said: "It is said that after these people entered the prison, they died only two days ago, and Xichang said that they committed suicide in fear of crime, but I don't know if it's true!" ”

Civil officials, and they are also civil officials in the capital, and the people in Xichang will arrest them when they say they will arrest them, and they will kill them when they say they will kill them...... Compared with Jinyiwei and the East Factory, the newly established West Factory is really murderous.

Now Liu Jinzhong, the overseer of the West Factory, is indeed not an ordinary person, and he has taken on the mission entrusted to him by the emperor very well.

At this time, I only heard Yang Kai say mysteriously: "My lord, according to the grapevine...... These arrested officials are all protégés of Qin Ge, and Gonggong Liu is really bold! ”

Liu Jinzhong's boldness? Who gave Liu Jinzhong the guts? Naturally, it was the Daojun Emperor who had already communicated with the heavens.

When the emperor was about to be honored, these officials came out to sing the opposite, who gave them the courage?

Thinking of Qin Yanwen, who only gave the emperor a congratulatory table at the end, Chen Xiaoting understood a lot, which also made him feel a little more emotional.

The fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, and these officials who died in the Xichang prison were just those unlucky fish!

It's a pity that these people who broke out of the siege of scientific research died worthlessly.

Because their matter is so sensitive that no one will delve into it, and it can only appear in some gossip.

At this moment, Chen Xiaoting suddenly felt that his new martial arts general was not fragrant, in this treacherous situation in the capital, who could guarantee that he was not the fish in the pond that was affected?

Let's just say that Liu Jinzhong, who is now majestic, what will happen to him after his black glove loses its use value?

The problem is getting more and more complicated, and it is impossible to understand it in a short time, and no one can figure it out...... The emperor can't do it.

When he withdrew from his thoughts, Chen Xiaoting realized that he had come outside the Shen Mansion.
