Chapter 59: The Emperor Summons
The next morning, in front of the military department, a few brocade guards suddenly appeared but frightened a few sergeants in front of the door.
Jinyiwei is also a military system to be exact, subordinate to the Jingwei Shangzhiwei, if the Shangzhiwei is the emperor's pro-army, then the Jinyiwei is the pro-army in the army, Jingwei is the crown rooster of the Ming 200 army, then the Jinyiwei is the fighter in the rooster, absolutely the first in the world. At this time, he suddenly appeared in front of the military department, not only the people in the military department were startled, but even the other officials on the street of Yamen were also frightened.
The person who came was Liu Shouyou, and he received a secret order from Emperor Jiajing early this morning, asking him to quietly take Shen Chongming into the palace.
said it quietly, but Shen Chongming was on an errand, and if he wanted to invite him out, he could only make a big splash, and as long as he didn't say it, who knew that the emperor was going to summon him. And for Shen Chongming's little brother Liu Shouyou, he also likes it very much, and now it is necessary to come to the wolf's den of the military department to give him a strong voice.
"My lords, do you have any orders?" The sergeant greeted him with a smiling face, and he didn't see the arrogant attitude he had when he faced Xiong Dabiao yesterday.
"Hehe, don't be afraid, this official is here to find someone, face the road ahead, go to find Shen Chongming Lord Shen." Liu Shouyou said with a smile.
The sergeant was shocked, and immediately thought that Shen Chongming had committed a crime, and Jinyiwei came to arrest him, obediently, this Lord Shen is covered by a tall man, I don't know if I can fight Jinyiwei.
The sergeant pondered in his heart, but the captain behind Liu Shouyou was impatient, "Hurry up and lead the way, what are you rubbing!" ”
The sergeant was startled, nodded his head quickly, and led the group into the yamen of the military department.
The arrival of Jinyiwei suddenly caused a panic in the military department, and one by one they poked their heads out to watch, and they were also indignant in their hearts, these bastards are really too bullying, if you don't beat your grandfather to death with your surname in the war era.
"Hahaha, Brother Shen has been doing well lately." Liu Shouyou laughed and walked in, and when he saw Shen Chongming buried in the mountain-like copywriting, he couldn't help but quip.
Shen Chongming is now completely convinced, his boss Pang Guang is simply a rice bucket, although he said that the errand would be handed over to him, but he didn't work for two days, and all the copywriting was backlogged, and he has been busy since he started this morning, and he has not been able to deal with half of his official duties.
Hearing Liu Shou's hearty whisper, Shen Chongming raised his head from the copy, and immediately said in surprise: "Brother Liu, rare guests." As he spoke, he greeted him, saying that he had not seen him for many days.
"Brother Liu, sit down, and a few brothers are also free." Shen Chongming greeted warmly, Liu Shouyou and a few subordinates were not polite, and sat there swaggeringly, but Pang Guang, who rushed to the scene when he heard the news and was about to pull his subordinates, was not lightly frightened, and the matter was unexpected again, and Shen Chongming himself was becoming more and more incomprehensible. Yesterday, a teacher of the Ministry of Rites suddenly appeared, and today there was a brother of Jinyiwei, which is too wide.
"Huge man, this is Liu Qianhu of Jinyiwei, and he is the big brother of the lower officials." Seeing Pang Guang come in, Shen Chongming introduced while pouring tea for everyone.
"Lord Liu, Xiaguan Pang Guang." Although Jinyi Wei Qianhu is also a military rank of the fifth grade, but the status is several grades higher, even if the squire is a gentleman, he must be polite, let alone a Lang Zhong who is also a positive fifth grade.
"Hehe, please sit down, my little brother has caused you a lot of trouble." Liu Shou was mainly anti-guest, and greeted Pang Guang as much as possible.
Pang Guang didn't notice this, but felt flattered. It is said that we have a big temper as a soldier, and we always have a stinky face when dealing with people. But compared to this brocade guard, it is a small thing, and he is definitely the most arrogant martial artist in the Ming Dynasty, and now he can talk to himself like this, which is really too high-spirited.
"Hehe, Shen Da is a talented person, and he is even more rare to be good at handling official business, but he has helped the lower officials a lot these days, so how can he cause trouble." Pang Guang said with a smile on his face, and quietly glanced at Shen Chongming as he spoke, afraid that he would tell him about pushing all his official duties to him.
However, how could Shen Chongming have a lot of trouble with him, but instead responded and said on the side: "The huge person has praised you, you have taught a lot of subordinates these days, hehe." ”
"Hahaha, that's good. Huge man, this official came here today to find my little brother for something, you see if you can make it convenient, I won't let him be on duty in the military department today. Liu Shouyou raised his eyes and asked.
"It's easy to say, since the adults have something to find Lord Shen, then you can go and get busy, the errand of the yamen has its own subordinates to watch." Pang Guang smiled and nodded.
"That's fine, then the official will leave." Liu Shouyou nodded and stood up, shook his head at Shen Chongming, and strode out.
Watching them go out, Pang Guang was relieved, and there was a burst of self-contempt in his heart, he was also a person who had been on the battlefield, why was he still afraid of Jinyiwei like this, he really lived more and more.
Shaking his head, Pang Guang turned his head to look at the still mountain-like copywriting on the table, and immediately his head was as big as a bucket, so many errands, how to deal with it.
Following Liu Shouyou's side, Shen Chongming only felt uncomfortable, there were hot eyes on both sides, envy, jealousy and hatred were not clear, Brother Liu's move was ruthless enough, and he didn't have to bring a small fire gun to the yamen in the future, so that no one dared to provoke.
After leaving the yamen of the Ministry of War, Liu Shouyou whispered his intention: "Brother Shen, the emperor wants to see you." ”
Shen Chongming was stunned, although he wanted to know what was going on, but he didn't ask, he knew when he went, and he couldn't do anything wrong, so he would definitely not serve him.
Seeing him nodding silently, Liu Shouyou couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, this is very good, not asking too much about everything is also a strategy to protect one's self, especially when things involve the emperor, because the emperor's favorite thing is that the courtiers can't guess what they want to do.
Turning around, a carriage and a sedan chair walked all the way, Shen Chongming followed Liu Shouyou and finally entered the palace through a palace gate that transports mountain springs to the palace on weekdays, this seat is relatively remote, there are no buildings within hundreds of steps, and no one can hide and monitor this place at all.
The gods are mysterious and secretive, Shen Chongming's heart is raised, shouldn't it be something very important?
"Master, Shen Chongming is here." I walked all night in the dormitory last night, and this morning Emperor Jiajing was already resting in bed again.
"Well, let him in." Emperor Jiajing didn't mean to get up, a little Shen Chongming, he couldn't stand up to himself in front of him to make a healthy appearance.
"Wechen knocks on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." As soon as Shen Chongming walked in the door, he obediently knelt on the ground and saluted, lowering his head and not daring to look at the furnishings in the palace.
"Ahem, ahem, let's be flat." Emperor Jiajing said weakly, the distance is relatively far, if it weren't for the abnormal silence in the main hall, Shen Chongming would have doubted that he would not be able to hear it.
"Lord Shen, come in and talk." Li Fang stood there and waved his hand and said, Shen Chongming hurriedly responded, bowed and walked in.
"Xiao Shenzi, how is the military department, have you been bullied?" Emperor Jiajing sat up with the help of Li Fang, looked at the trembling Shen Chongming and asked with a smile.
Shen Chongming's head is big for a while, and it is okay for the little junior sister to call herself Xiao Shenzi, but the emperor, you call us Xiao Shenzi, but it is easy to be misunderstood as a little eunuch.
"Your Majesty, the adults in the military department are all cheerful people, although they look scary, they don't bully Weichen." Shen Chongming truthfully stated, if there was no huge number of people throwing official business to him, it would be even more perfect.
"Hehe, that's fine, let's talk about where a group of military men are the opponents of your scholars." Emperor Jiajing said with a smile.
Hearing this, Shen Chongming couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the adults in the military department are not coarse people, they are called coarse and fine. ”
"Nonsense." Li Fang raised his eyebrows and reprimanded, no one dared to refute the emperor's words in a bold and reckless manner.
"Li Fang, I like to hear the truth." Before Shen Chongming could admit his mistake, Emperor Jiajing said to Li Fang, this is also what he likes about young officials, unlike those old fritters who have been up and down in officialdom for decades, a person is old and refined, and he never shows any ideas in his heart, and it is a very nerve-wracking thing to deal with them.
Shen Chongming glanced at Li Fang embarrassedly, lowered his head again and didn't dare to speak, he was indeed a little reckless just now.
"Yes, those people are indeed thick and thin, so do you like to stay with them?" Emperor Jiajing asked with interest, but he could let him develop in the field of military generals, and the border defense was lax, and talents were also very needed.
"It's okay, there's no need to intrigue." Shen Chongming didn't dare to hide it, and he did have such thoughts in his heart, when he was in the Ministry of Officials and Households, he had to keep an eye on everything, those people were all smiling tigers, and they would bite you if they weren't careful.
In the military department, although all the errands are done by himself, as long as he finishes it, there is nothing to do, and Pang Guang will not be idle and let himself carry the black pot.
