"Don't talk about that, just stand if you want." Han Xiufeng could understand his mood, and said straight to the point: "Brother Qingxian, I asked you to come here to inquire about you. ”

"Who?"

"Have you ever heard of Ding Shoucun?"

"Fourth master, Ding Shoucun, I have not only heard of but also seen it. If I remember correctly, he should be from Rizhao, Shandong, and he is a fellow villager with Mr. Wang. He was a scholar in the fifteenth year of Daoguang, and after the title of the gold list, he was selected as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and he was directly taught as the director, and was distributed to the household department to learn to walk. ”

"Has he been on duty in the military aircraft department, has he ever been a small military aircraft?"

"How can a person like him enter the military aircraft department, just because he is good at rhetoric, he was mistaken for a great talent by your fellow countryman Zhuo Bingtian Zhuo Zhongtang, and recommended it to Mu Zhang'a and Qi Yaoyu, the then Minister of Military Aircraft, and with the help of Mu Zhang'a and Qi Yaoyu, he infiltrated the Strategy Pavilion. Obviously he is not a military aircraft Zhang Jing, but he regards himself as a 'small military aircraft' everywhere, and he is regarded as a shame by those military aircraft Zhang Jing. Qingxian paused, and asked curiously: "Fourth Master, how could you ask about this person?" As far as I know, not long before you were transferred back to Beijing, he had just been kicked out of the Pavilion, and now he seems to be working as an errand in the Fine Catering Division of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Although the Military Aircraft Department is in a high position, both "big military aircraft" and "small military aircraft" are both concurrent, so the Military Aircraft Department cannot be regarded as a yamen within the economic system. But this yamen, which is not a yamen, has a small yamen such as the Strategy Pavilion below, which specializes in keeping secret files. Thinking of this, Han Xiufeng couldn't help laughing: "In this way, although he calls himself a 'small military aircraft' everywhere, those 'small military aircraft' who don't like him can't do anything about him?" ”

"At first, it was, but it's not like I've been driven away yet."

"How can he talk about it, and how can he be ashamed of the military aircraft Zhangjing?"

To Han Xiufeng's surprise, Qingxian actually smiled bitterly: "The reason why he was able to enter Zhuo Zhongtang and Mu Zhang'a and Qi Xuan's bath is really a bit similar to the errand we are doing now." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Speaking of which, he is also a competitive person, and others will bring two or three family members to take the exam in Beijing, but because of his poor family background, he did not have a single servant, so he pushed a cart into Beijing to catch the exam, and passed the exam in one fell swoop, and he was only twenty-four years old at the time!"

"So he's got a bit of a real talent."

"It's a pity that it's not used on the right path."

Qingxian paused, and continued: "He had nothing to do when he was learning to walk in the household department, but he was obsessed with the manufacture of firearms, and even compiled several books on firearms. Later, Yingyi was in trouble, and the first emperor ordered Sai Shang'a to go to Tianjin to handle coastal defense affairs as a minister. Because of the first time he fought with Yingyi, there was no one available in the court, and even fewer knew firearms, so he took him with him. ”

"And then?" Han Xiufeng asked curiously.

It is said that during his stay in Tianjin, he supervised the manufacture of landmines and other firearms, and it was quite effective, and after returning to Beijing, he compiled two books, one is "Western Tap Fire Gun Making Law" and the other is "Counting and Covering Mines Law". It was difficult to reload the shotguns of the officers and soldiers, and they were inevitably in a hurry when they were in battle. It is said that the paper letter made by the shotgun ignites the gunpowder and fires, but if it is wet in the rain, it cannot be fired, and it is also said that the foreigner uses a thunder hat to fire the ......"

"He has some knowledge, and it's not an exaggeration." Han Xiufeng groaned.

"If it's just these, it's really not an exaggeration, but the firearms manufacturing methods he made up can't be made at all, or they can't be used." Qingxian thought for a moment, and then said, "Coincidentally, I just watched your set of "Atlas of the Sea Kingdom". It was found that the method of making landmines in the book was actually included in the "Law on Counting and Covering Landmines" compiled by Ding Shoucun. ”

"And here's the thing!"

"So he was really full of joy at that time, and it was really beautiful. Later, Cezanne was ordered to go to Guangxi to quell the rebellion, and he was brought with him again. It is said that he helped Cézanne Ah draft a fold while traveling in Guangxi, and that year he lied that he captured the long-haired leader alive and made a small minion named Hong Daquan into a 'Tiande King', which was what he helped Cézanne to do. ”

Looking at Han Xiufeng's incredulous look, Qingxian smiled bitterly again: "He is greedy for life and afraid of death, seeing that Long Mao is not so easy to suppress, and he lied that his father was sick, and he took the initiative to ask Ying to help escort the 'Hong Tianwang' back to Beijing, and did everything he could to trick Cezanne to let him come back." It is said that when he ran out of Guangxi with Hong Daquan and entered the border of Hunan, he was overjoyed and could not help himself, and even wrote a "Tale of the Robbery", saying, "Looking at the southern sky, the beacon fire has not stopped, and I don't know how to fly out of the net and get all my life"! ”

"He's really greedy for life and afraid of death."

"What's even more ridiculous is that in order to make that Hong Daquan more like a bandit, so that he can ask for merit and reward after arriving in the capital, he actually wrote a poem for that Hong Daquan on the way back to Beijing, I only remember the first few sentences, it seems to be 'Sending the tiger's mouth to plan the work, hating the thief and not knowing the hero, vainly turning the golden lock into Feihong, when will he give birth to wings, and resist the long wind for thousands of miles'." When the results reached Beijing, the colleagues in the Military Aircraft Department laughed dumbly, saying that this was not Ding Shoucun's handiwork? ”

Han Xiufeng couldn't help but laugh and said: "What a living treasure, a living treasure who wants to be added to the rank and enter the knighthood and wants to go crazy!" ”

"Fourth master, he has done a lot of things like this, as far as I know, until he was kicked out of the Strategy Museum, he still boasted to others, he once made a letter box that not only exploded but also had great power, and wrote on the box 'Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing dismantled together', so that the thieves who were captured by the officials and soldiers sent Hu Yihuang's younger brother back, although they failed to kill Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, but also killed several thieves."

"Is there such a thing?"

"If there is no such thing, he is just boasting." Thinking that Han Xiufeng would not ask Ding Shoucun for no reason, and then thinking of the errand that the 'Houyi Hall' really had to do, Qingxian couldn't help asking: "Fourth Master, should you have heard from someone that he is a talent and plan to use him, right?" ”

"Don't worry, don't say he's just a liar who can brag, even if he has some real talent, I don't dare to use it."

"I'm relieved."

Thinking of the things that Ji Lu had just reported, Han Xiufeng laughed self-deprecatingly: "Hey, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, it turns out that I, Han Xiufeng, in Cao Yuying's eyes, am actually a character similar to Ding Shoucun, and I have become a shame of the Military Aircraft Department!" ”

Qingxian reacted: "Fourth master, are you saying that Cao Yuying compares you with Ding Shoucun, who has a flamboyant personality and likes to brag?" ”

"Maybe in his eyes, I'm not as good as Ding Shoucun, at least Ding Shoucun is not good, and he is a jinshi who is admitted by real talent."

"So you offended him?"

"It's not an offense, it's just a misunderstanding."

Qingxian was not only born in the family of the prime ministers of the two dynasties, but also had been an official for so many years, and quickly guessed where the misunderstanding came from, and muttered: "Cao Yuying, this person is not bad, but he has been on duty in the military aircraft department for too long, and he has become the foreman of the military aircraft Zhang Jing, and he has become a little old-fashioned, and his mind has become a little narrow-minded. ”

Han Xiufeng muttered: "So this matter is a bit troublesome, it seems that delaying is not a way, I have to quickly think of a way to let him understand that my 'little military plane' is just a name, and I don't walk extra." ”

"It's not so easy to offend him, and to let him retreat."

"Is he pedantic?"

"As far as I know, he's a bit old-fashioned, but he's not pedantic."

"It's easy to do without being pedantic, it's better to settle grievances than to settle them, and I don't want to make enemies everywhere. And it didn't have anything to do with him, just a little misunderstanding. ”

"Since the fourth master is in his chest, then I will retire first?"

"Get busy, it's cold, remember to add a quilt at night." Han Xiufeng thought for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Brother Qingxian, if you want your sister-in-law to miss the child, I will help you arrange it, anyway, few people know about you here." ”

"Fourth Master Xie is compassionate, but this matter is not trivial, I won't trouble you." Thinking that "Houyitang" is not without the eyes and ears of the emperor, and no one knows whether Eunjun will use this matter to ask the emperor for merit and reward, Qingxian bowed down again, and did not want to involve Han Xiufeng in his heart.

"Okay, then let's do it first, anyway, it's just half a year, just get through this half a year."

"Fourth Master Xie."

To Han Xiufeng's surprise, Qingxian walked to the door and turned around: "Fourth Master, I overheard Eunjun talking to Ji Lu at the bookstore just now, and they seem to be planning to help you teach Cao Yuying a lesson." ”

Han Xiufeng was stunned, and then thought of the way the big head stopped talking when he left, and suddenly realized that Eunjun was also a master who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and couldn't help laughing: "I know, it seems that they are too idle, and they have to find something to do for them." ”

Seeing Qingxian away, he went to the "Moxiang Pavilion" to see the little guy write big characters for a while, Han Xiufeng came to the bookstore from the backyard, lifted the curtain and walked into Eunjun's house, looked at Eunjun, Datou and Jilu who were drinking and eating meat, and asked with a smile: "Eunjun, the person surnamed Cao not only found the door, but also calculated me behind my back, and he didn't give me face, what should you do about this?" ”

Eun Jun was drunk dizzy, and said without thinking: "Fourth master, this matter is handed over to the humble position, as the saying goes, it is time to raise a soldier for a thousand days, and now is the time to use the humble position." Just wait and see how I can help you clean up those grandchildren! ”

Han Xiufeng sat down in the position that Ji Lu had given up, took the chopsticks handed by the big head, took a peanut, and asked with interest, "Do you have a way?" ”

"I've thought about it a long time ago, and I've arranged it a long time ago! Dare to fight with our 'Houyitang', they don't want to think about what we do! ”

"What do we do?"

"We are ordered to focus on investigating the situation and dealing with foreigners, and we are not even afraid of foreigners, and we can still be afraid of them......"

"I thought you forgot!"

Han Xiufeng's face changed, and he slapped the case with a bang. Eunjun was startled, and the big head didn't even bother to put on his shoes, so he turned over and got off the kang, and honestly stood aside with Jilu.

Eunjun realized that he had leaked his mouth, and suddenly sobered up a lot, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "Fourth master, fourth master...... You are angry, I haven't forgotten the errand assigned by the emperor, I ...... I just want to help you vent your bad anger. ”

"What are you going to do with this bad breath?" Han Xiufeng asked coldly.

When it came to this, Eunjun could only tell the truth, and Han Xiufeng was ridiculed by the three indiscriminate methods, pointing at him and gritting his teeth and scolding: "You mean to help me get angry, I think you are too idle!" I really didn't expect you to be so bold, don't you really know what the Military Aircraft Department does? ”

"Fourth master, a good man does things by himself, don't say that nothing will happen, even if something happens, I will bear it, how will it not affect you."

"Is this something that doesn't affect me? You don't know the general situation, you just treat the government affairs of the court as a child's play! You are still full of people, and the emperor trusts you so much. If you let your brother know about this, you have to beat your legs! ”

Enjun realized that Master Han was really angry, and hurriedly pleaded with a bitter face: "Fourth Master, you are right, I am confused, I don't know the general situation, I will ask Feng Xiaowhip and Feng Xiaobao to come back quickly, and don't let them toss anymore, okay?" ”

"Eun-joon, you've listened carefully to me! Big head, Jilu, you two also listen to me, if anyone dares to assert himself in the future, don't blame me for being merciless! ”

"Fourth master, don't worry, I won't dare anymore."

"Fourth brother, it's none of my business, I ......"

Han Xiufeng didn't want to make them panic because of this, so he immediately changed his words: "Even if you teach those who came to the door in the afternoon, it's not your way to teach them." Let five or six 'small military planes' not be able to hire a car together, and delay going to the military aircraft office to be on duty together, isn't this a place without three hundred taels of silver, people can figure out who made it bad if they think about it carefully! ”

Eunjun was stunned, he didn't expect Han Xiu to say this.

Looking at his stunned appearance, Han Xiufeng said lightly: "As the saying goes, the thief captures the king first, and the one who leads the way is okay every once in a while." And how much noise do you want people to make if they can't hire a car? Instead of letting someone not be able to hire a car, let him hire a car but go to the wrong place. ”

Eun Jun reacted suddenly, and couldn't help grinning: "The fourth master is right, the lowly position is not only confused, but also stupid!" ”

"This is the case, not the next one."

"I understand, just this once!"
