Chapter 11 "The little nephew Shen Chongming has seen Uncle Xiao. Shen Chongming stood respectfully in front of Xiao Baichuan and saluted, bending ninety degrees, just about to bend his knees and salute.

Just before they entered the door, Xiao Boss was also picked up by Xiao Ershao, and before the two brothers could talk, Shen Chongming rushed to the inn with Shi Bingzheng and Wang Siming.

Looking at the brocade guards outside who were hulala and embroidered with spring knives in flying fish suits, Boss Xiao, who didn't know the situation, almost thought that he had offended some dignitaries unknowingly, until Shen Chongming entered the house to greet him, and he realized that this was a friend.

"Lord Shen, please get up quickly, the two adults are also exempt from courtesy, the old man can't afford such a big gift from you." Xiao Baichuan hurriedly stepped forward to help. The experience of this day really made him a little dizzying, first the unsuccessful second boy did a big deal, and then when the Marquis of Dingyuan and two unknown officials saluted him, Rao is Xiao Baichuan has lived for most of his life, and he is a little overwhelmed by his knowledge.

"Uncle, please sit down, you are the father of Peng Cheng's virtuous brother, you are our elder, the younger generation salutes the elders, how can you not afford it, hehe." Shen Chongming said with a smile, and walked to the side to make a cup of hot tea for Xiao Baichuan as he spoke.

Shi Bingzheng was not bad, stepped forward and brought the teacup to Xiao Baichuan, and said respectfully: "Uncle, you use tea." ”

Hurriedly took the teacup, Xiao Baichuan finally saw that Xiao Ershao's relationship with them was indeed extraordinary, and he was no longer as polite as before. "Three virtuous nephews sit down, Pengcheng has been taking care of you for the past few years, thank you, old man."

Xiao Ershao was helpless for a while, what does it mean that thanks to the care of the two of them, this career was hard work by himself step by step.

Shen Chongming seemed to understand Xiao Ershao's thoughts, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle, Brother Pengcheng doesn't need us to take care of him, and his achievements today depend on his personal efforts." ”

"Hehe, what Brother Shen said is true. Dad, don't you know, although this accessible car and horse shop is Brother Shen's idea, but to have today's achievements, the child can be regarded as a great contribution. Xiao Ershao said with some smugness, with Brother Shen and Ah Bing present, even if he was not happy about what he said, his father would never do it to himself.

Seeing his childish temperament, Boss Xiao, who was standing on the side, couldn't help laughing, after a few years, the second brother's temperament still hasn't changed.

His smile attracted Shen Chongming's attention, and after a closer look, he was a little similar to Xiao Ershao, and then at this age, he didn't have to guess to know that it must be the Xiao boss who was often on the lips of Xiong Ershao and was highly valued by his family.

"This is Brother Xiao, the little brother is rude." Shen Chongming was a little ashamed, this eyesight strength seriously needed to be improved.

Boss Xiao didn't expect Shen Chongming to greet him suddenly, his laughter stopped abruptly, and he hurriedly replied, "Lord Shen is polite." ”

After getting to know each other again, Shen Chongming instructed Xiao Er Shao to run an errand, and it didn't take long to prepare a large table of good wine and food, which was supposed to be for Xiao Baichuan. A few juniors flattered him, Xiao Baichuan also became more and more relaxed, and he went down one cup after another, which scared Shen Chongming a lot, these years, they are all good drinks.

East Plant. "Hehehe, Xiao Songzi, my father-in-law has heard about your performance in the court today, and you are worthy of being the person my father-in-law fancies, and even Ouyang Jingzhi's old thing is not your opponent." Feng Bao looked at Song Qingyang with a smile and said.

Today's incident, Song Qingyang himself is also very proud, not only successfully completed Feng Bao's explanation, but also got the limelight and was appreciated by the emperor, and the day of soaring is not far away. However, this thought could not be expressed, so I saw him say modestly: "Father-in-law has won the award, this is all arranged by you, and the lower official is just taking advantage of the trend." ”

Feng Bao smiled, but he also thought the same thing in his heart. Waving his hand to let Song Qingyang sit down, he asked, "You said, now that the emperor has handed over this errand to you, what are you going to do?" ”

"Please make everything public, and the lower officials will do their best to do a good job." Song Qingyang hurriedly bowed his head and said, the flattery on his face made Feng Bao feel uneasy.

Feng Bao pondered for a moment and said: "The power of the Hubu Shangshu is not small, Niu Xiping's ability is average, you had better take this opportunity to drive him down, maybe you can do it?" ”

Hearing this, Song Qingyang couldn't help but be overjoyed, Feng Bao thought about it, there was such a scheme. The household secretary not only holds the money of the court, but also has a lot of voice above the court. Once the person sitting in this position obeys Feng Bao's orders, then although he can't call the wind and rain, he can also influence the overall situation of the imperial court. "Father-in-law, don't worry, that Niu Xiping is dizzy, this time he didn't know how to work for Xu Jie, and a crime of framing the ministers of the court is enough to make him distribute three thousand miles."

Feng Bao thought about it, but Song Qingyang was not bad. So far, he is Feng Bao's most new person, even if there are people with high official positions to join in, it is impossible to easily subvert his position in Feng Bao's mind, so he has been boiling for a few years, and the position of this household secretary is his own!

"Well, that's fine." Feng Bao nodded with satisfaction, and he had already begun to think in his heart that he should use the position of the head of the household department to win over the minister to work for himself.

"Is Old Xu Ge sick again?" An official looked strange and whispered to his colleagues, seeing that he was about to go to court, but he couldn't find Xu Jie's figure, which was really a big deal.

There is no fuel-efficient lamp that can be mixed up in the court, and this colleague is not bad, he smiled slightly, and said with a different point: "Maybe." ”

Not only the two of them saw that something was wrong, but the rest of them were also talking in small voices, although the words were extremely vague, but everyone knew that they were discussing the reason why Xu Jie's sudden non-court.

Whether Liu Shou came today or not, Shen Chongming, the civil and military force of the Manchu Dynasty, only knew a former squire of the Ministry of War, and Sun Deliang, the current secretary of the Ministry of War. Although he is not very familiar, Shen Chongming still posted it, and it will be a system in the future, and it will inevitably be useful to others.

"Lord Sun, how have you been doing lately?" Shen Chongming stepped forward and smiled. Sun Deliang, who was laughing loudly with several generals, looked back and saw that it was Shen Chongming, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "There is Lord Lao Shen who cares, and this official has always been good." ”

Seeing that the rest of the people also looked at him, Shen Chongming bowed his hands and said, "A few adults, Shen is polite." ”

Although Shen Chongming was born in a literati, he is now also a military general, and everyone is born with a sense of intimacy, plus they are all bold people, and they chatted together in a few clicks.

To say that in the face of Shen Chongming, what everyone is most concerned about is the specific situation of the battle of the total annihilation of the Japanese on Daishan Island. Originally, because he had no intersection with Shen Chongming, everyone was embarrassed to ask him directly, but now that they finally got to know each other, they chatted a few words without pain or itching, and Sun Deliang brought the topic to this.

"A few adults don't know that although this widow is famous for his murder and is almost invulnerable by people all over the world, the fact is not like this at all, it is simply a paper tiger, and it will be broken in a handful." Shen Chongming said with a look of disdain, he really didn't look down on the widows.

As soon as everyone heard what he said, they couldn't help but be interested, and they heard Sun Deliang ask: "How do you say this, Lord Shen, you explain it in detail." ”

"People only say that the Japanese are powerful, and the most important thing is that the guards in the south are not their opponents, and this foil, the Japanese in the minds of the people have become invulnerable monsters. In the opinion of the following officials, if you can send a border army to go, you can easily wipe out 10,000 Japanese pirates with only 3,000 men and horses! "It's not clear whether this is true or not, but the generals of the previous dynasty have been in the north every day when they lead the army, so it can be regarded as quietly patting their ass.

Everyone laughed and nodded in agreement. This Lord Shen is right, the combat power of the guards can't catch up with the brave and good soldiers of the border army.

"But Lord Shen, just like you said yesterday, the reason why the soldiers of this guard are weak is that in the final analysis, it is the inaction of the generals. Qi Jiguang Qi, Lord Qi, you know, this is also the background of the general of the Wei Institute, but back then, with 3,000 new troops, he swept through the sea frontier for nearly 1,000 miles, and beat tens of thousands of Japanese robbers to the ground. Sun Deliang said with emotion, Qi Jiguang is an expert in military training, I heard that the border army generals who were originally prejudiced against him are now also admiring him.

Shen Chongming's expression was overjoyed, "It turns out that adults also think like this, since you have time to ask for advice." The reason why Shen Chongming is happy is because he has a like-minded person. Moreover, Sun Deliang is the secretary of the military department, and he is the person with the most right to speak in the reform of the military system of the guard, as long as he is willing to present this matter with him, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

Sun Deliang laughed, "Don't dare to be, let's discuss it together." ”

Everyone talked happily, and before you knew it, the sun had risen high, and someone finally noticed that something was wrong.

"Hey, why don't you go to court today?" Listening to the discussion nearby, Sun Deliang couldn't help frowning. He has been on an errand in the military department for nearly ten years, and it turned out that when he was in the Jiajing Dynasty, it was too common for the emperor not to go to the early dynasty, and he was accustomed to it for a long time.

But since the new emperor ascended the throne, this early dynasty has been rain or shine, and every day is so punctual. Now that the situation of the first emperor has suddenly appeared, the first thing that comes to Sun Deliang's mind is whether Emperor Longqing also wants to be hooked by something like the first emperor.

Not only did he think so, but many other people were also speculating, and a few old ministers with white hair whimpered and cried, shouting the names of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, and collectively denounced Emperor Longqing's inaction. It's just that no one saw it, and Ouyang Jingzhi, who was standing alone, showed a relaxed smile.

Besides, Emperor Longqing was losing his temper in the palace at this time, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids knelt there tremblingly, bowing their heads and not daring to speak.

"How dare you threaten me, damn it!" Emperor Longqing scolded, and casually swept a vase beside him to the ground.

Things were a little evil, and I saw that the vase, which was supposed to be broken in response, fell to the ground and turned around a few times, lying quietly there.

The eunuchs and palace ladies are stupid, where is Emperor Longqing also stupid, what's going on? After a moment of silence, a loud roar rang out from the entire dormitory, "Bastard, you dare not even a broken vase to get along with me!" ”

With a wild temper, Emperor Longqing sat on the bed and gasped for breath. Chen Hong looked at the messy dormitory, and had the heart to order someone to clean it up, but he was afraid of angering Emperor Longqing again, so he had to give up. Despite this, he still cautiously stepped forward to pick up the copy full of footprints, which was Xu Jie's resignation and the culprit who caused the emperor to lose his temper.

It is said that Xu Jie thought for a long time and thought of a way to retreat, that is, to use his resignation to force Emperor Longqing to retract his appointment to Shen Chongming.

This was a risky move, and Xu Jie also knew that once it was sent to Emperor Longqing, it would definitely cause thunder to be furious. But for now, this is the only way to save the situation, and he can only hold the attitude of trying. success, all is fine; Defeat, everything is over.
