This journey can be regarded as a torment, it took fifty days to reach the capital, Shen Chongming sighed more than once that this is simply Lang wasted his life, with fifty days of hurry, he didn't know how much silver he could earn, this abominable traffic!

When I arrived in Beijing, it was the end of summer, and the breeze outside Beijing was gentle, but it was also cool. Because it was a triumphant return, coupled with the tributary mission, the welcome ceremony can be described as grand, except for Emperor Longqing, all the cabinet dignitaries of the six ministries and nine secretaries were present, and the gongs and drums were noisy and the flags were displayed.

Shen Jianjun in the officialdom didn't like it very much, so he changed his clothes and blended into the crowd early in the morning, searching everywhere, eager to see Xiao Pengcheng and Shi Bingzheng, as long as he found them, he could find Yan Yumeng.

"Brother Shen, here!" Just as Shen Chongming was struggling to shuttle through the crowd, someone suddenly shouted on his side, turned his head to look, but saw a carriage parked next to the road, and Xiao Pengcheng was standing on the wheel and waving at himself.

Finally squeezed out of the crowd, Shen Chongming was already disheveled, he had always felt that the capital had a large population, and this time it was completely certain, what is the difference between this and crowding the bus in later generations.

"Peng Cheng, where is Ah Bing?" Shen Chongming looked at Xiao Pengcheng on the carriage and hurriedly asked. Since they came out of the city to greet them, there is no reason why Yan Yumeng can't come.

"Ah Bing and Siming went to greet you early in the morning, didn't you see them?" Xiao Pengcheng was very puzzled about this, Shi Bingzheng and Wang Siming were officials, and they could directly step forward to greet the leading generals by virtue of their identities, and Shen Chongming had no reason not to see it.

"Oh. I was in a hurry to find you, so I came early. By the way, didn't the rain come? Although Shen Chongming tried his best to pretend to ask inadvertently, Xiao Pengcheng still saw the clue, and laughed at that time, "Brother Shen, you are too anxious, hehe." ”

These words made Shen Chong's name so embarrassed, his old face suddenly turned red, and he said hurriedly: "Go aside, is she here or not." ”

Before Xiao Pengcheng could speak, there was laughter in the carriage, which was the voice of the little junior sister. Shen Chongming pushed away his brother Xiao Pengcheng who was blocking the carriage very inhumanely, and jumped into the carriage with his hands and feet, not to mention, after a big battle, this skill has really grown a lot.

Lifting the curtain of the car, Yan Yumeng's little sister Xiaoqing and the three of them were sitting in the car, looking at themselves with a smile. Seeing that the beautiful woman was in front of him, Shen Chongming really didn't know what to say, there were too many people, and there were many love words that could only be said when there were only two people left.

"Childe, you've lost weight." Yan Yumeng smiled and smiled, he couldn't help but shed tears, Shen Chongming, who was already a little thin, looked even more skinny after going out for four months.

"Hehe, Sister Yumeng, you are wrong, Xiao Shenzi, he has become stronger." The little junior sister had a good gaze, and glanced at it slightly, as if she had stripped Shen Chongming naked, and knew that he had become stronger.

"Yes, yes, I'm getting stronger. It's raining on you, and you've really lost a lot of weight these days. Shen Chongming said with a hippie smile, which immediately made Yan Yumeng burst into tears and smiled, and lowered his head shyly.

A few small talks, because the two of them were in the carriage, and Xiaoqing was present with a light bulb, Shen Chongming really had nothing to say, so he had to find an excuse to jump out of the carriage.

"Brother Shen, why did you come down like this, I haven't seen you for so long, why do you have to talk to the two sisters-in-law." Xiao Pengcheng, who had been eavesdropping outside the carriage, immediately joked as soon as he saw Shen Chongming get out of the car.

Shen Chongming didn't answer this, otherwise God knows what else this kid could say, "How is the family doing these days?" ”

As soon as he said this, Xiao Pengcheng immediately became excited, "Brother Shen, don't you know, under the wise guidance of my younger brother, I have widely publicized that Heda Carriage and Horse Shop has developed very rapidly, and now it is in ......."

"Stop, stop blowing." Seeing that Xiao Pengcheng rolled up his sleeves and was about to start boasting about his exploits, Shen Chongming hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, this kid is not bad, but there is too much nonsense. "It's good that nothing happens."

"Hey, hey, hey, the little brother will follow Brother Shen's instructions to do things in a low-key manner, where can something happen. At that time, I heard Ah Bing and Siming say that in addition to some things in the court recently, the situation is very unfavorable to Master Gao. Speaking of the second half of the sentence, Xiao Pengcheng's voice was low.

"Oh, what's wrong with the teacher?" Shen Chongming was shocked, he only knew that Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng had a conflict during the Wanli period, and he was driven back to his hometown, could it be that there was a problem during the Longqing period.

"I don't know the specifics, but I just heard Ah Bing say that Master Gao had a conflict with Xu Ge Lao in the cabinet, and the impeachment of his old man by the Imperial Procuratorate has been going on a lot these days, and it was the old ghost Ouyang who instructed him behind his back!" Xiao Pengcheng's expression was grim, Xu Ge was deeply rooted, where could Gao Da be his opponent.

"Xu Jie?" Shen Chongming muttered, raised his head and said, "You wait here first, and I'll go to the teacher and ask." ”

It's very easy to find a high arch, just find a place where officials are gathered.

"Teacher." Seeing Gao Gong, Shen Chongming couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart, and ran in front of him after taking a few steps.

Gao Gong, who was originally standing with Guo Pu and talking in a low voice, couldn't help but look up when he heard the shouting, and when he saw his student finally appear, he couldn't help laughing: "Chongming, I have been looking for you for a long time for the teacher, where did you go?" ”

"Students meet teachers." Shen Chongming didn't rush to answer when he arrived, but instead bowed solemnly. "Hurry up and excuse me, this is a fellow countryman of the teacher, Lord Guo Puguo, an auxiliary minister of the cabinet." Gao Gong helped him weakly, and then pointed to Guo Pu beside him and introduced.

"Xiaguan Shen Chongming, I have seen Lord Guo." Shen Chongming was very well-behaved and saluted Guo Pu again, if the teacher is really in a bad situation now, then this Lord Guo is his comrade-in-arms, otherwise he would not stand together so closely.

"Hehe, Master Gao has mentioned you to this official many times, saying that you are extraordinary in learning and quite strategic. When I saw it today, it was really a handsome spiritual offspring. Senior brother, it's a blessing to have such a disciple. Guo Pu praised without hesitation.

"The adult is overrated, and the name is only loved by the teacher, so that I have the honor to follow the teacher and listen to the teachings." In front of outsiders, Shen Chongming is still very well-behaved, and he doesn't have the hippie smile when he is next to Gao Gong.

Seeing that he is so modest at a young age, Guo Pu is also very satisfied, it seems that he is not the kind of young man who is arrogant and arrogant, not bad.

"Chongming, where did you go just now, I have to find you for a long time for the teacher and Master Guo." Although these words sounded a little reproachful, but with a kind expression on his face, it could be seen that Gao Gong was not angry.

Shen Chongming didn't dare to tell the truth, and the most commonly used excuse for human beings was immediately taken out by him: "Teacher, people have three urgencies, hehe." ”

Without waiting for Gao Gong to speak, the old man walked over, "Lord Xiao Shen, it's not right to care so much about women at a young age." By the way, your delicate wife is there, let the old man check for you to see if he can be worthy of you, hehe. ”

"Gao Gong, Guo Pu, I've seen Grandpa Guo." As soon as they saw the old man coming over, Gao Gong and Guo Pu hurriedly bowed their hands, no way, who made the family a super first-class product, plus a Jinyi guard commander, don't be much worse than our ministers.

"Hahaha, the two adults are polite, the old man is here to find Lord Xiao Shen." The old man doesn't like to talk to these civil officials, and he has to check for him when he picks up Shen Chongming, of course, this is not the main purpose, but I just hope that when Shen Chongming marries his wife, he can also go to the banquet, so that he can burn the knife and drink, and when he returns to the capital, he has to quit drinking again.

"Don't mind the old man, Xia Guan is talking to the teacher, can we talk about it later?" got acquainted with the old man, and Shen Chongming didn't care much when he spoke.

"Teacher?" The old man was stunned, he had never heard that Lord Xiao Shen also worshipped the teacher, these two guys are cabinet ministers, just take out one of them to cover him, this kid will be able to prosper in the official road, and the plan to pull him into the army by himself is not easy to do.

"Old man, Master Gao is the teacher of the lower officials." Looking at the old man's puzzled face, Shen Chongming hurriedly introduced.

"Oh, disrespectful and disrespectful, it's really a blessing for Lord Gao to have a disciple like Lord Xiao Shen." The old man said with envy, it seems that he is late.

To be able to get such a compliment from the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Gao Gong also felt that he had face, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Grandpa Guo is polite, this time on the expedition to Annan, Chongming has caused you a lot of trouble, right?" ”

Whenever he heard the words of his elders, Shen Chongming felt aggrieved, be humble, be humble, why do you always have to talk about our juniors.

"Hehe, Lord Gao's words are wrong, if there is no help from Lord Xiao Shen on this expedition, the old man will still take people and horses to go around in circles in the mountains." The old man is a real person, and he does not shy away from the contributions made by Shen Jianjun on this expedition.

Gao Gong was stunned for a moment, and his eyes looked at Shen Chongming couldn't help but become weird, could it be that this kid still has some military ability?

"Lord Gao, Lord Xiao Shen has some ability to lead the army to fight, if he cultivates it well, he will definitely achieve extraordinary things in the future." The old man couldn't hold back in his heart, and eagerly expressed his intentions, the old man was going to pull this kid to join the army.

"Oh, that's right." Gao Gong nodded thoughtfully, letting Chongming take refuge in the army is also a good way out, even if Xu Jie's hand is long, it can't completely control the affairs of the army, plus there is a Jinyi guard commander to take care of it, he shouldn't dare to do anything about Chongming.

Looking at Gao Gong's expression, the old man was a little unhappy. However, he also understands this kind of thinking, although the rank of the military attache of the Ming Dynasty is high, but the status is really low, and he can't mix with the Hou Ye's share, and when he sees a civil official, he has to be inferior, so that the proud disciples of the family give up the civil official full-time military attaché, it is indeed difficult for some strongmen.

"Two adults, the old man still has something to go to the palace to see the emperor, so I will leave first." If you can't make a plan, the old man has a plan for life, and he has offended people by himself in this matter, so let the emperor bear this infamy.

The old man said to leave, this is something that Shen Chongming never expected, he just exposed his lies, and he originally wanted to chat with the teacher again and just leave, but this is good, I can only stay here and wait for criticism.

It's a pity that Gao Gong has a lot of worries now, how can he criticize him for these trivial things, and tell him to stay at home and wait for the emperor's holy decree to enter the palace to accept the reward, and then go back to the city with Guo Pu.
