Zhang Maoxiu is now patrolling the imperial history after all, even if Ning Xiu's personal relationship with him is good, the work on the surface must be done enough.

After Ning Xiu led the gentry of Xiangshan County to greet Zhang Maoxiu at the gate of the city, he warmly welcomed Zhang Yushi into the city.

Zhang Maoxiu naturally has to live in the procuratorate, and according to the rules, there are no special circumstances, and Ning Xiu can't take the initiative to visit Zhang Maoxiu.

But the first day was special. Because the magistrate wants to set up a banquet for the patrol who comes from afar, according to the royal history, to catch the wind and wash the dust.

Ning Xiu arranged the reception banquet at the Yamen of the Inspectorate.

He is now getting more and more comfortable with this new role, and is less interested in the work of the county magistrate of Xiangshan County.

Besides, the inspection envoy yamen is more generous than the county yamen, and it is more suitable to entertain the imperial history.

Broadly speaking, the reception banquet is divided into two parts.

The first part is for everyone to participate in, including the famous squires in Xiangshan County. These people would take turns toasting Zhang Maoxiu until they confirmed that Lord Yushi felt the enthusiasm of the gentry.

The second part is the private part of Ning Xiu and Zhang Maoxiu. Two good friends rarely get together and say something heart-wrenching.

Of course, there are no highlights in the first part, and both Ning Xiu and Zhang Maoxiu find it very boring.

But even boredom is something to do. Because this is the rule of officialdom, it is an important way for officials to gain the support of the squires and gain fame.

The first part took two hours, longer than Ning Xiu had expected. Fortunately, after this part is over, the two of them are not drunk, and they can talk freely under the moon.

"Brother Ning Xian, farewell to Jingshi, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time."

Zhang Mao modified the use of brother to commensurate him, which made Ning Xiu's eyes red, and sighed: "Yes, the little brother misses Brother Mao Xiu very much." ”

He paused for a moment and continued, "I wonder how long Brother Mao is going to stay in Xiangshan County this time?" If you're not in a hurry, why don't you stay here for a little longer? It is also good to let the little brother do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord. ”

Who knew that Zhang Maoxiu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Ning Xian doesn't know, Brother Fool came to ask Brother Ning Xian for help this time." ”

"Asking for help?"

Ning Xiu asked with confusion, "What is it?" ”

"It's a long story."

Zhang Maoxiu looked around, and sighed again: "Let's go into the house and talk." ”

...

...

"How can this be true? This must be the ghost of Lu Zhiqian, the prefect of Guangzhou! ”

After Zhang Maoxiu told the truth of the matter, Ning Xiu waved his fist angrily.

"The foolish brother also thinks that this person is making trouble in the dark."

Zhang Maoxiu struggled to maintain a decent image, but his face was still a little distorted by anger.

"Besides this person, the foolish brother really can't think of anyone else who has a reason to attack me."

Ning Xiu paced a few steps and said: "This person has done this, and he has already torn his face with Brother Mao, Brother Mao must be careful." By the way, how did Brother Mao react when he left the Guangzhou Mansion? ”

"Greeted me warmly."

Zhang Maoxiu paused: "He must be very happy to see me leave." ”

Ning Xiu nodded frequently and said, "Yes, Brother Mao Xiu's trick is clever." Hold him back first, wait until he takes it lightly, and then make a killing move! ”

"Brother Ning Xian has an idea?"

Zhang Maoxiu's eyes flashed with scorching brilliance.

In his opinion, Ning Xiu has always been a good resource, and he must have a countermeasure.

"Not yet, but sooner or later."

Ning Xiu comforted Zhang Mao and said, "Brother Mao will stay in Xiangshan County these days." This Lu Zhiqian dares to set up a situation against Brother Mao Xiu, and I will let him know that he is powerful! ”

Zhang Mao let out a long breath.

"Brother Ning Xian said this, and the foolish brother was at ease."

"Let's not talk about that, why did you go to the Inspectorate, Brother Mao."

Regarding Zhang Maoxiu's sudden transfer to the Inspectorate, Ning Xiu has never been able to understand.

In his opinion, there is no better yamen than the Hanlin Academy in the organs at all levels of the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, Zhang Maoxiu is still the champion of the Yuanlang, as soon as he enters the Hanlin Academy, he is the Hanlin Scholar, and as long as he survives for a few years, he can go to the Ministry of Rites and other noble yamen. If you stay up for a few more years, it won't be a problem to be a waiter.

After all, Zhang Maoxiu's father is the first assistant of the dynasty, and his back is against the big tree to enjoy the shade, and it is only a matter of time before Zhang Maoxiu is promoted.

But he went to the Inspectorate. Went to the Inspectorate at the hottest time

What is the Inspectorate? It was the domain of the Imperial Historians. In other words, it's a supervisory body.

In that kind of place, you can live a life of addiction and go-of-hearsay. But it will also offend many colleagues because of this.

In the officialdom, what is particular about mixing is a left and right source.

Although Zhang Maoxiu has a father who is above 10,000 people under one person, he can't make enemies everywhere, otherwise even if Zhang Juzheng is powerful, he can't protect him.

And what Yushi does is a job of making enemies everywhere.

If you want to make political achievements, you have to spray people all the time, and if you spray until others doubt your life, you will win.

Generally, people with no background like to do imperial history, because they can spray people without any scruples. But why did Zhang Maoxiu come to work?

Zhang Maoxiu said with emotion: "It was the foolish brother who took the initiative to ask my father. The foolish brother felt that in the Hanlin Academy, in addition to compiling history books and classics, he was idle, which was too boring. I thought about going to the Inspectorate to have a good experience. ”

Ning Xiu almost vomited blood when he heard this.

If you want to practice, you can go to the place, but in addition to practicing a pair of iron and bronze teeth in the Inspectorate, what else can you do?

"The Inspectorate is not a place for young people."

Ning Xiu still couldn't help but sigh.

"Why does Brother Ning Xian have such thoughts?"

Zhang Maoxiu was very surprised and puzzled.

"Ahem, doesn't Brother Mao think that the Inspectorate is a bunch of old-fashioned guys?"

Ning Xiu said with some embarrassment: "I think it's better for young people not to go to this kind of place." Even if you are very energetic, if you are surrounded by a group of old-fashioned people, you will inevitably have to be brought to the twilight. ”

Ning Xiu said very seriously: "Brother Mao Xiu can go to the place if you want to practice." Even if you don't want to leave Beijing, the Liubu Yamen is okay. As long as Ling Zun says a word, where does Brother Mao want to go? ”

"That's the case, but..."

Zhang Maoxiu sighed and said: "Brother Fool thinks that the Feng Xian Officer's picket of hundreds of officials is the best training position." ”

Ning Xiu was really speechless now. I didn't expect that there was such a big gap between his concept and that of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Maoxiu is undoubtedly a thorough Ming Dynasty man. And Ning Xiu's concept is a modern concept. It was unrealistic to forcibly instill one's own ideas into others, and Ning Xiu eventually gave up on this idea.

The most important thing now is to help Zhang Maoxiu get out of the crisis.

This Lu Zhiqian must be killed. Only by killing Lu Zhiqian can Zhang Maoxiu's safety be guaranteed.

Of course, Lu Zhiqian's vigilance must not be aroused in this process, otherwise Lu Zhiqian, who has Zhang Maoxiu's handle in his hand, will jump off the wall in a hurry, and Zhang Maoxiu's reputation as Zhang Sangongzi's reputation will be completely ruined, and it will even affect Zhang Juzheng's reputation. The consequences are unimaginable.
