Xu Zixian's eyes were slightly closed, and a thousand emotions were rolling in his mind, but in any case, such a result was really enough and worth it.

"Congratulations to the prince......" Fang Shaoqun said softly on the side: "But don't lose your temper, winning the champion is just the beginning, not the end, I hope the prince remembers this." ”

Such a person is really disappointed...... But there is no doubt that it is true.

Xu Zixian smiled slightly, thanked the ecstatic crowd, and said: "Everyone is happy together, I hope that you will be rich and noble in the future, and you will not forget each other." ”

"Of course," Yao Pingzhong shouted, "I can't wait to follow Mingda to Fujian together." ”

"There will be opportunities to work with Weicheng." Xu Zixian responded with a smile, Chong Ji and Yao Pingzhong are both talents, and maybe they will really have a chance to recruit their subordinates in the future.

……

After winning the martial champion, he was also extremely busy.

Xu Zixian could only take a slight rest, got up after sleeping for less than an hour, and then gathered in the Ministry of Rites in the same year, and went to Xuande Gate to sign up for thanks.

For many Jinshi who did not have an official position or clan status, from this moment on, they broke away from the identity of ordinary people and officially became one of the officials of the imperial court.

The new science and technology jinshi has a noble spirit, even if it is a high-ranking official in a red robe, he greets him with a smile, and in these few days, these people are well-deserved sons of heaven.

After signing up for thanksgiving, write a thank you form, go to the Ministry of Rites to receive the Jinshi robe, and then prepare to enter the palace the next day to Jixian Hall to thank the Son of Heaven.

From the moment they entered the Jixian Palace, these new scholars were considered to be protégés of the Son of Heaven.

Then he reported to the Ministry of Officials, but the real work for the new Jinshi was arranged by the East Court of the Judges and the West Court of the Judges under the Political Affairs Hall, and from that time on, each Jinshi received their official certificates, and the trajectory in the next few years was at this moment.

Most of them can stay in Beijing to observe politics and learn the operation of various departments in Beijing, and a small number of people who already have a substantive status can be immediately released from Beijing at their own request, or those who are not interested in staying in Beijing can also be asked to be released.

Of course, Xu Zixian wants to be released directly, and the judge of the West Court is estimated to wait for the orders of the left and right ministers of the political affairs hall, and will quickly prepare all the formalities as soon as possible, and Xu Zixian will be the first person to be released.

For Xu Zixian, such a result is not bad, the Beijing division is a place of ambition for many new science and technology scholars, how many years of effort can be saved to stay in Beijing, only in Beijing has served as a court official's qualifications, it is possible to transfer to the local officials, otherwise this life can only be transferred at the state and county level, although the income is not low, and the official power is not small, but after all, there is a ceiling early, which makes people feel depressed.

And Xu Zixian is destined to have no such ceiling, he is a big official, but the constraints of his identity and the jealousy from the Son of Heaven are not a big trouble that qualifications can solve.

After a busy day, Xu Zixian did not stay in the post house to rest, but went to the right prime minister's mansion to visit, the old Xiangguo's cultivation and expectations for him are quite deep, these two days may leave Beijing at any time, before leaving to say goodbye, it is also a matter of course.

Xu Xiashang directly introduced Xu Zixian into the inner study and met each other in clothes.

This time, Xu Xiashang was quite relieved to see each other only with the etiquette of the elders and juniors of the clan, looked at Xu Zixian and said: "It's been decades, and finally someone said in front of the old man that in forty years, since the old man, the clan has produced a real talent." ”

Xu Zixian said with a smile: "This is too much, the old minister was already a famous Confucian in the sea when he was a junior in the country, what am I worth." ”

"Not really." Xu Xiashang said: "Your strategy, the old man has read it, the text has its own wonders, the old man may not have written it when he was young, this is one of them." Second, the old man looks at your essay on Ma Zheng and feels that there is something to say, to be honest, the old man should not say that when he is twenty years old, even if he is forty years old, he may not be able to write such a treatise...... How did you do it? ”

"The younger generation believes in a truth, everything needs to be done from the truth, the younger generation is a martial artist, not a Confucian minister...... Please forgive the younger generation for offending, the Confucian minister believes in the truth, but the Tao is the only one, and the younger generation is a martial artist, not close to the avenue, only believe in data and facts, and then see more, walk more, listen more, put your mind on practice, Ma Zheng's matter, the younger generation has thought for a long time, and feels that this is a must-do, so on the note, did not discuss with the old Xiangguo in advance, and hoped to forgive the sin. ”

"What are these words?" Xu Xiashang stretched his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You juniors are promising, can the old man still be unhappy?" Yesterday in the Xuanzheng Palace, the left minister and the old man and several privy counsellors discussed, all the opinions were allowed, but the financial difficulties, but there is no way to allocate how much money with you, think about it, can only give you permission, let you find a way to start the ......"

Xu Zixian listened with a smile, and this time he understood the meaning of Lao Xiangguo.

The imperial court's trust in Fujian's horse breeding, or Xu Zixian's personal ability, is still limited. Even if it is good to raise horses, the Son of Heaven doubts what kind of situation will Fujian Road be able to achieve with its own situation, financial resources, geography, manpower and officialdom?

Even if a lot of good war horses are really raised, how much is Fujian Road willing to report to Jingshi?

In other words, Xu Zixian's character experience, that kind of bold and bold character, how much can the Son of Heaven trust?

The imperial court is indeed in financial difficulty, but if it is a capable minister in Shandong and Henan to try out a new horse administration, the imperial court will allocate hundreds of thousands of dollars, millions of bundles of hay, and take out money and materials to support, and now listening to Xu Xiashang's meaning, the imperial court is to give policy, give Xu Zixian official position and authority, and may also give tens of thousands of dollars, but the support will end here, and make the Son of Heaven and the court pay more costs, which is absolutely impossible.

Xu Xiashang said: "If you don't come tonight, the old man will look for you tomorrow...... The old man also felt that if the Northern Expedition was to be made within the year, the soldiers, horses, vehicles, straw bundles, and grain that the imperial court would mobilize were all frightening numbers. ”

Xu Zixian listened with a smile, nodded after listening and said: "What the old Xiangguo said is that the younger generation does not want to fight, to be honest, although the younger generation is somewhat sure, but they don't dare to lay the stall too big at the beginning, if there is really anything wrong, it is a trivial matter for me to lose face, it is a big thing to lose Ma Zheng and lose the face of the old Xiangguo." ”

Xu Xiashang laughed when he heard this, and praised: "Mingda, you are really skilled, and what you say is not leaky, you go to Fujian to preside over Ma Zheng and Yizhou Military Administration, the old man can rest assured." ”

Xu Zixian's heart moved, but he didn't answer, waiting for Lao Xiangguo to say it himself.

"Your military exploits, the battle of Nan'an, Fuzhou, this is the credit on the surface, the court must have something to say, the killing of Liu Zhiyuan, Han Zhong saw your affection, but the court can't admit this account, otherwise where is the face of the emperor of Great Wei? To be honest, the old man must emphasize that this matter can not be repeated, the Northern Expedition has been preparing since last year, how many armies have forbidden the army, how much food, and how much money and weapons are being used in the area of Jizhou, what can't the Son of Heaven endure for this battle? After removing Liu Zhiyuan, and Han Zhong agreeing to the Northern Expedition and presiding over the overall situation, the Son of Heaven endured it. Otherwise, you can block those Lang Wei who have no intention of fighting, and stop the Son of Heaven from ordering the forbidden army to quell the chaos? Your more than 150 people, brave and brave, 2,000 forbidden troops went into battle, carrying thousands of foot bows, divine arm bows, crossbows, bed crossbows, you are afraid that within half an hour, you will die without a place to be buried, right? ”

The combat effectiveness of the Jingying Forbidden Army, Xu Zixian felt that it was not uncommon to understand it.

Most of them are a family of forbidden troops in Beijing, passed down from generation to generation, stationed in Beijing for generations, oil and salt have long been in, sometimes the grain is to hire a porter to take the burden to bring the grain home, practice lazy, not to order, leave the camp to make a living, and so on, these big men, there are soldiers, but they are also soldiers.

To say that it is not impossible to say that it is not impossible to defeat the Beijing Forbidden Army of such an army with two hundred elite cavalry, and it will even be quite easy.

And in Liu Zhiyuan's mansion, surrounded by thousands of forbidden troops, killing and injuring with various long-range weapons, which happens to be the strength of the forbidden army, it is really dangerous, and there is indeed a danger of annihilation.

Moreover, there are dozens of armies in the Beijing Division, and the Son of Heaven really would rather have no one in the court than destroy Xu Zixian and others, of course, as Xu Xiashang said, there is no place to die.

"Be taught." Xu Zixian solemnly hugged his fists, saying that he accepted the teachings of Lao Xiangguo.

After that night, others didn't know that Xu Zixian had secretly decided in his heart that he would never put himself in such a dangerous situation again, no matter what kind of changes occurred, he would always have the power to protect himself, and he could not entrust his life to others, nor should he risk his life to fight for wealth.

"This merit is not rewarded." Xu Xiashang said: "Zuo Xiang can't help but say something, and the Son of Heaven can only pretend to be stupid." One is to increase the official village of your Nan'an Hou Mansion, add 10,000 households of food, and seal 6,000 households with real food, which is the general Guogong real seal, and the old man's manor is not much more than Mingda you, the court should not add your title, you can only put some more blood on the actual official village. ”

Xu Xiashang stretched his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If the two generations of Nan'an Hou know about this, they should be relieved to come!" ”

Xu Zixian got up and said, "Thank you for the success of the old Xiangguo, the first monarch and grandfather, if you have knowledge under the spring, you must be happy." ”

Lao Nan'anhou has three thousand feudal towns, and only six hundred food seals, which is simply a small amount, and this time it has risen tenfold, exceeding the ordinary national public feudal households, and the imperial court is usually not so generous.

Xu Zixian's great achievements were not enough to seal so much, and he was still paid for his mutiny performance.

Of course, this will not be the meaning of the Son of Heaven, but Han Zhong's strong proposition.
