Looking back now, Liu Ximing can't help but sigh at his previous decision.

With Shao Derong and others here, the progress of the development of the Longxiang Brigade towards the official level has been sharply accelerated.

Of course, Liu Ximing didn't forget to ask them to change their names in advance, otherwise in the future, a group of people in the official documents will be ranked as respecting virtue and protecting the people, but I am afraid that they will be exposed immediately.

At present, although the imperial court still has some control over the generals, it is mainly because the money and grain are pinched to death by the civilian officials, so military leaders such as Zuo Liangyu and Cao Bianjiao have to bow down and obey orders.

But in a few years, when the local rule collapsed further and the military department could not afford the expenses of all the battalions, that was when Shao Derong's shadow really came into play.

Liu Ximing has not forgotten how the four towns of Huainan rose in history.

Wang Chengen was obviously quite anxious for the order he received, and he didn't even plan to stay after announcing the holy decree, and kept urging Liu Ximing to leave for the north.

Liu Ximing had to ask him for time, and made a special trip to tell Cao Bianjiao and others.

Who knew that after he finished talking to Cao Bianjiao and the others, Yang Yipeng actually came over.

"This time I got the favor of the new Amber, the old man has nothing to repay, only there are many old and decrepit friends and some unsuccessful students in Beijing, after the new Amber leaves, the old man will write to these people, and if the new Amber has anything to do in the court, you can find them to help you."

Liu Ximing was overjoyed, and grabbed Yang Yipeng's arm: "Yang Gong Gaoyi, thank you for your late life." Yang Gong went to Yazhou here, what do you need to do later? ”

Yang Yipeng smiled bitterly, "The old man knows his own body, and if he goes to the land of Yazhou in the miasma, I'm afraid that he won't live for a few years." ”

He hesitated for a moment and looked at Liu Ximing, "If these people introduced by the old man can help the new Amber, I hope that the uncle will take care of my family in the future." ”

After Yang Yipeng finished speaking, he took out a booklet from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Ximing.

Liu Ximing took it and took a brief look, and found that there were many people's names written in it, thinking that they were all the characters that Yang Yipeng had just mentioned.

The first few people in the pamphlet were written by the right attendant of the military department and the governor of the three towns of Xuanda Shanxi, who was worried at home at this time, as well as the right hand of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Palace, and Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian.

Liu Ximing raised his eyes to look at Yang Yipeng in some astonishment.

"The old man is a person from Huguang, and the people he friends with are naturally mainly from Huguang and Sichuan."

Yang Yipeng whispered to Liu Ximing with some hidden heads: "Now that Donglin is powerful, you and I, Chu Di, and Shu Sergeant still have to work together, otherwise there will be no share of us in the court." ”

Liu Ximing suddenly realized that Yang Yipeng turned out to be a member of the Chu Party, no wonder not many people came out to intercede this time.

However, the Chu Party is indeed a little too miserable, not only in the cabinet

There are few talents even among the key members of the six departments, no wonder Yang Yipeng would hit the idea on a fledgling kid like himself.

Liu Ximing muttered in his heart here, Yang Yipeng was not desolate in his heart.

said that it was the Chu Party, but there were only two or three kittens, and now Yang Sichang Ding is worried, and he will be demoted again, but he is afraid that the power of the DPRK and China will be weaker.

Fortunately, the power of the Sichuan people in the court is also very weak, and Sichuan and Chu are also political allies, Yang Yipeng has seen from Wang Chengen's attitude that His Majesty now attaches great importance to the young man in front of him, and he doesn't mind burning a cold stove in advance.

"Yang Gong rest assured, learn, Yang Gong knows his intentions, and he will be rewarded in the future." , Liu Ximing nodded knowingly.

Wang Chengen also came out at the right time, "Okay, okay, the emperor is still waiting, let's leave quickly." ”

"Yes, yes, I'll leave right away."

Liu Ximing responded and waved Li Biao over, "The personal guard regiment will follow me, and another regiment will be sent to Nanjing to escort Xiangjun and them home." ”

Since solving the matter of Chen Zilong and Liu Ruyi in Songjiang, Liu Ximing rushed to Nanjing non-stop and made a big show with the cooperation of everyone in the Fushe.

Actions such as sending a letter to the Nanjing Military Department were all completed at this time.

After Liu Ximing led the army north, Li Xiangjun, Dong Xiaowan and the shipbuilders recruited by Liu Ximing and Chen Zilong could of course only stay in Nanjing and stand by.

He estimated in his heart that it would take at least two months to go to Beijing and then return to Sichuan.

The township test was approaching soon, and he didn't have time to go back to Nanjing to pick up Li Xiangjun and the others, so he simply let them go back first.

After arranging these, Liu Ximing didn't have time to say a few more words to Cao Bianjiao and the officials of Huai'an, and was directly pulled on the big ship by Wang Chengen.

To say that Qincha is really majestic, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is already very busy, and there are jams in the coming and going of ships.

But it never happened to Wang Chengen, Liu Ximing and others, and it only took two days for the group to rush from Huai'an to Jining, which is much faster than the land route.

"Xin Amber put on a python robe and really had an extraordinary posture", on the big boat, Wang Chengen took the initiative to talk to Liu Ximing, which made Liu Ximing a little flattered.

This eunuch Bingbi has left a big name in history, but it is precisely because of this that Liu Ximing is also very wary of him.

"The prince praised it falsely, but by the authority of His Majesty, he is about to arrive in the capital, and the people of the boy mountains and wilderness will inevitably not understand the etiquette, and he is planning to ask his father-in-law for advice."

Liu Ximing's modest and low-key appearance made Wang Chengen feel slightly good.

He smiled and nodded, "These are easy to say, let's go back and let a few subordinates rehearse for the uncle." ”

After a few polite words, Wang Cheng

En then asked casually: "Xin'anbo is from Sichuan, why did he travel thousands of miles to Nanzhili this time, and he can still make such a great achievement, God bless me." ”

Liu Ximing was alert in his heart, is this Chongzhen already suspicious.

He naturally knew how suspicious this master was, but this trip to the southeast, he was also improvised, and the whereabouts of the thieves were not something he could decide, so he should be able to pass the test smoothly.

It's just that the key points in this need to be covered up.

Liu Ximing's thoughts flashed in his heart, and he patted his chest with a happy look on his face.

"I'm afraid that it is also Taizu and other ancestors who are on top, so let the kid have to make this great contribution."

"Don't hide it from my father-in-law, the kid has been paying attention to the movements of the thieves, such as today's troubles, one is the rogue, the other is the Jianyu, the Jianyu is far away outside the pass, although there is a looting in the customs, but it is just a disease of scabies, just wait for the national strength of this dynasty to recover, and it is easy to extinguish."

"In the boy's view, the real henchman is still a rogue, his people have no fixed place, every time he goes to a state, he will be bad in a state, and every time he goes to a house, he will be bad in a house, and in the long run, the state capital will collapse, and the court will no longer have food and salary available, and its disasters are far greater than in ancient times."

Seeing that Wang Chengen listened with relish, Liu Ximing sighed, "Don't you hear that you must first settle inside, because Xiao Ke was very vigilant when he heard the news of the thieves' invasion of the east, and he wrote to the yamen of the Nanjing Military Department many times, but it is a pity that people are not used for people." ”

"Xin Anbo is indeed a loyal and brave person", Wang Chengen looked admiring, and a smile of his own people appeared on his pale face.

"It's rare that you not only think about the emperor, but also have foresight, a eunuch who has lived in the palace for a long time in our family is not as clear as you are about current affairs, this is not like a show of talent, according to our family, you are more experienced than those six officials, rare, rare."

Wang Chengen stood with his hands in his hands, thought about it and told Liu Ximing: "The emperor is also very kind to the uncle, and there must be a response when he enters the palace this time, the uncle had better take the time of the past few days to think about it, it will be very good for you." ”

Liu Ximing bowed happily, "Thank you father-in-law for mentioning it, and I will have to rely on my father-in-law to help me in the future." ”

"Hahaha", Wang Chengen looked up to the sky and laughed, "I heard Gonggong Cao say that Uncle had an old relationship with Gao Qiqian when he was in Henan, I don't know if it's true?" ”

"Ugh"

Liu Ximing was speechless for a while, he wanted to admit it directly, but now facing another hot celebrity in the palace, he couldn't figure out whether Gao Qiqian and Wang Chengen had a holiday, so he nodded rashly for fear of disaster.

Wang Chengen smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, they all serve the emperor, although our family has some small holidays with Grandpa Gao, it is not a big deal." ”

"It's rare for my uncle to look up to people like me who are disabled, not like ordinary scholars who treat me like a snake and scorpion, our family is just to please me."
