The errand around the emperor was full of smart people, and a group of imperial guards saw that the big head had stupidly offended the emperor several times, but the emperor not only did not punish him, but ordered the internal affairs office to clean up a small courtyard outside the Old Summer Palace and reward the big head to live, saving him from running back and forth so far every day.

Later, I found that Su Shun, the head of the household department, and Wen Xiang, the minister of military aircraft of the Holy Grace Long, who were feared by everyone, would stop and say a few words to him whenever they saw the big head, and they seemed to be very close, so no one dared to change the law to pit him.

After being on duty together for a few days, a group of imperial guards found that the big head was actually not difficult to get along with, and even had a lot of advantages.

For example, he never cares about the matter of being on duty, let him be on duty for an hour or two, and he will be honestly on duty until someone comes to replace him, and there will be no complaints; For example, when he sees someone, he respectfully calls him "adult" or "master", and he does not look at whether the official position of the person is big or whether the grade is high or not.

The only drawback is that he can't make jokes, and no one can call him stupid, let alone mention his mother-in-law.

If there is a drawback, it is that it is very stingy and picky!

It is not an exaggeration to describe him as an iron rooster, he has walked on the imperial guards for these days, and has not received much money from the princes and ministers who came to meet him, but he is reluctant to take it out and spend it. Every time he called him to go to eat and drink together, he would ask him who was the east.

However, when it comes to slamming the door, the imperial guards on duty together will think that he has another shortcoming, that is, he likes to show off, and he shows off in front of the emperor!

Yesterday afternoon, on a whim, the emperor called him in again to interrogate, and he said unabashedly who had rewarded him with a few taels of silver, said how many taels he had saved this year, and said that he would send the silver to Taizhou, and ask the old dean of a academy in Taizhou to help him build a big house in a town called Hai'an.

The guards on duty at the gate at that time were frightened, but fortunately, the emperor not only did not blame him for accepting other people's money, but also did not ask other guards if they had received it, but praised him for his life. It can be said that he has now become the only person in the palace who dares to "say nothing" to the emperor, and the emperor seems to like him to tell the truth.

Just when a few guards were whispering, discussing whether to find an opportunity to remind him that what should not be said in the future should not be said, Peng Yunzhang and Bai Ye, Mu Yin, and Wen Xiang were summoned to the front of the hall with solemn expressions.

The emperor was talking to Prince Zheng and Prince Yi inside, and Peng Yunzhang and the others could only wait outside.

The big head guarding the entrance of the hall should not squint, but it can be seen that Wen Xiang has forgotten the rules again, and he actually squeezes his eyebrows and makes his eyes look good.

Wen Xiang knew that he was hinting that the emperor was unhappy at this time, but he felt that it was too much to pass on the news so blatantly in front of so many people, so he simply pretended not to see anything, took out a few drafted edicts from his sleeve, and checked the wording inappropriately.

Seeing that Wen Xiang didn't pay attention to him, the big head couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart, and then squinted his eyes and closed his eyes to recuperate.

He could fall asleep while standing, which was a skill he had developed after watching the door for so many years, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he heard the sound of things breaking in the hall again.

The emperor is not happy!

The emperor is angry!

The emperor must have dropped something again!

The thought that it might be the exquisite vase that was broken, and that the vase should be worth a lot of silver, made the big head feel distressed.

I was thinking about how the emperor would leave after discussing things with a few adults, should I go in and see if the vase was broken, if it wasn't, pick it up and take it back, and let Xiao Shandong's father help see if he could get it, only to hear another guard guarding the door announcing Peng Yunzhang and other military ministers in a frustrated manner.

"Minister Peng Yunzhang respectfully invites St. Ann!"

"I'm restless!" Xianfeng was angry, threw Prince Hui's fold in front of Peng Yunzhang, gritted his teeth and said: "Peng Aiqing, take a closer look, this is the talent you recommended to me for 'Ji Chang Kuang Shi'!" ”

Peng Yunzhang really didn't know about Qiying, so he hurriedly picked up the fold, looked at it carefully, and when he saw half of it, he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly kowtowed while trembling and said: "The old minister is mediocre, the old minister is confused, the old minister is ignorant, and the old minister deserves to die......."

"Let's talk about your business later, let's talk about how to cure the sin of this old slave Qiying!"

Peng Yunzhang was so frightened that he didn't know what to say, so Xianfeng said coldly: "Proposed decree, the monk Greenqin is about to be escorted to Beijing by Qiying, and handed over to the minister of the patrol and defense king, together with the criminal department of the Zongren Mansion, and strictly intervened!" ”

"The minister obeys the order, and the minister will go to the will."

Watching Peng Yunzhang stumble out of the hall, Xianfeng picked up another fold and said: "Bai Ye, Mu Yin, Wen Xiang, this is Gui Liang's report, you can also take a look." ”

"The minions obey."

……

Gui Liang said in the excerpt that he was struggling with Xiyi, and what conditions were put forward by the British and Buddhist Yi, he did not mention it at all in the excerpt, to be precise, he did not dare to report according to the truth.

The emperor didn't know, but Wen Xiang knew it very well, but he didn't dare to tell the emperor, and he didn't have the heart to say it at this time, because looking at the emperor's expression and listening to the emperor's tone, Qiying was more than lucky this time, and Qingxian was difficult to say whether he would be implicated.

Just thinking about it, Xianfeng suddenly asked coldly: "Wenxiang, where is Qingxian now?" ”

I was really afraid of something, Wen Xiang settled down, handed the fold he had just finished reading to Mu Yin, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, as far as the servants know, the four of Qingxian's father and son have already been sent by Han Xiufeng, Fengchen Yuanqing, to help with the camp affairs, and I don't know if they have returned." ”

Prince Zheng Duanhua, who didn't speak just now, couldn't help but ask: "Lord Wen, didn't Fengchen Yuanqing Han Xiufeng dredge the river in Nanyuan to clean up Haizi, why did he send Qingxian's father and son out?" ”

"Lord Yu, in fact, the lower officials are just as puzzled, if you want to help with the camp affairs, Qingxian and his son can only help with the river camp affairs, and they should serve in Nanyuan, the lower officials really can't understand why Han Xiufeng sent their father and son to go to the mouth to run errands."

"Your Majesty, do you want to send Han Xiufeng, the emperor of Fengchen Yuanqing, to come and ask."

Why did Han Si send someone to the mouth, Xianfeng could guess a few points, thinking that this kind of thing could not be known to everyone, so he simply changed his words: "Let's discuss Gui Liang's report, Bai Ye, you say it first." ”

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks it's ......"

Bai Ye talked eloquently, saying a lot of things is equivalent to saying nothing, Wen Xiang listened to it but his heart was much more down-to-earth, secretly thinking that the old heroes were more auspicious and less auspicious, but Qingxian should be able to escape the catastrophe, at least don't worry about being sent to Heilongjiang to work as a drudgery like his brother Qingxi, and couldn't help but sigh Han Xiufeng's foresight.

……

National affairs have nothing to do with the big head, so I don't bother to eavesdrop on what is happening in the temple.

Just when Prince Zheng, Prince Yi, Bai Ye, Wen Xiang and others bowed down and withdrew from the main hall and hurriedly went back to run errands, the emperor suddenly shouted: "Wronged boss, come in, I have something to ask you." ”

The big head was stunned, hurriedly crossed the threshold and walked into the hall and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you want to ask?" ”

"The last time you went to Nanyuan, did you see Qingxian?"

"No," the big head scratched the back of his head, thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, I remembered what you said, when you asked my fourth brother to be Fengchen Yuanqing, all the masters in the bookstore were promoted, and all of them had errands, even Jilu did the main thing, it seems that Master Qingxian has no errands, did my fourth brother send him home." ”

Xianfeng knew very well that the big head was the least able to lie, thinking that the big head didn't see Qingxian when he went to Nanyuan last time, it should have been arranged by Han Xiufeng to go to the mouth on an errand, and felt that it would be bad to pursue it further, so he simply asked absentmindedly: "Even Jilu has done the main thing, how can you say this?" ”

"Your Majesty, I'm just making an analogy, Ji Lu is actually quite capable, he knows a lot of words, and he can write and calculate! It's not like me, but I can't write. ”

Looking at the envious look on the big head's face, Xianfeng couldn't help but scold: "I didn't expect you to be a little self-aware!" ”

"Your Majesty, I don't know what Ziming is, I know that if I am literate, I can go to the martial arts champion, even if the martial champion can't pass the exam, I can also take the martial arts exam!" The big head habitually thought of where to say, and said very unconvinced: "Du San is a martial arts person, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, I can beat him a few, but he knows a few words more than me, and he actually let him pass the martial arts examination, the emperor, do you say that you are angry?" ”

Xianfeng subconsciously asked: "What position is Du San, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and where is he on an errand?" ”

"Dead, I heard my fourth brother say that he died in battle when Changmao broke through the Jiangnan camp, Liu Cunhou Liu Master Liu and Xiang Rong Xiang Dashuai seem to have died at about the same time as him, in recent years, the hall has always held funerals, and every time I do a funeral, I am called to burn paper and kowtow."

Seeing that the emperor's face suddenly became a little ugly, the big head hurriedly said: "Jiang Liu is not dead, the monkey is not dead, they have a big life, and they also asked someone to bring me a letter last month, I asked the shopkeeper to help read it." In the letter, he said that now he is working under Lord Shengbao, and in Henan, he not only kills Changmao, but also kills twisted bandits! ”

"Who is Jiang Liu?" Xianfeng asked curiously.

"It's my sixth brother, who used to take me to work as a porter on the dock, and then took the monkey from my hometown to Gu'an to join my fourth brother, and then went to Jinghai before playing and never came back, I haven't seen him and the monkey for many years."

"Is he also greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"He is not afraid of death, he wants to be an official, and he doesn't want to die if he fights! Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang were captured alive by the monk king, many brothers who followed the monk to Shandong and Henan were dismissed, and those brothers in Heying went back to their hometown in Gu'an to continue farming. ”

"So Jiang Liu is a loyal minister."

"Me too, Your Majesty, if you let me go into battle, I will only kill more long-haired and twisted bandits than him, not less than him! Speaking of war, I taught him to fight, he used to only fight, not fight! ”

"Okay, I know that you are a loyal minister, and if you want to go into battle to kill thieves and make meritorious achievements, there will always be a chance."

The big head suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing again, thinking that he would die if he went into battle to kill the thief, but Gua Wazi wanted to go into battle, and he didn't know how to explain it, Xianfeng yawned and said: "Kneel down, I'm tired, I want to rest for a while." ”
