Shen Xi didn't react much to Xiao Jing's compliment, but just accepted it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not once or twice, Shen Xi is used to facing the emperor, he doesn't have the common problem of scholars in this era, he sees the emperor as a holy and noble person, just treat it with a normal heart.

Xiao Jing deliberately pulled in, and for a while he asked for warmth, which made Shen Xi feel a little uncomfortable. And Zhang Yong seemed to have something to say to Shen Xi, but Xiao Jing always occupied people, and his impatient expression flashed.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the people sent by the military department to arrange the dispatch also arrived.

This person Shen Xi is very familiar with, it is Wang Shouren, the soldier who sent troops and horses into the city yesterday, and the one who came with Wang Shouren was Hu Songyue, who was the first batch of Shen Xi's subordinates to enter the city yesterday.

At this time, Hu Songyue, dressed in red helmet and gold armor, hanging gold medals, carrying a saber, holding his head high, looking very energetic, standing there majestic, a fierce aura of a soldier came to his face.

Xiao Jing, as the "Qin Mission" sent by the emperor, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Taking advantage of Xiao Jing's attention to Hu Songyue, the "hero", Zhang Yongruo came over like a cunning rabbit and whispered to Shen Xi: "Lord Shen, this battle is over, and the soldiers are about to enter the city, the credit is ...... Is it time to settle the score? ”

Shen Xi looked at Zhang Yong and asked puzzledly, "What credit?" ”

In Shen Xi's opinion, you are looking for the emperor and the imperial court to go, what are you talking to me?

Zhang Yong was eager to make it clear but didn't know where to start, so he could only glare at Shen Xi fiercely. Shen Xi thought about it for a while, and probably understood that the "merit" that Zhang Yong said was not a meritorious service on the battlefield.

As a prison army, no matter how great the credit is, it can only be divided into a little bit, after all, the space for eunuch promotion is limited, and many positions are a radish and a pit, so you can't make a good contribution to the old man who has abdicated and made way for the virtuous, right? But in terms of money, there is no limit, for these eunuchs in the palace who have no descendants, the most important thing is not actually the promotion of status, but the benefits of money......

There is no long thing, only money is the most practical!

Although Shen Xi thought of it, he pretended to be confused with Zhang Yong and reciprocated with disdain...... You stretched out your hand to ask me for money, and you still want me to give you a good look?

No way!

Zhang Yong waited for a long time and couldn't get a response from Shen Xi, so he could only be anxious. After returning to the palace, even if his status is high, he can only be angry with the eunuchs and palace maids in the harem, with his identity, he has no qualifications to dictate to the courtiers, if it is those petty officials, maybe they will sell him some face, but Shen Xi is a second-grade civil servant, will he take care of him?

Hu Songyue and Xiao Jing saluted, and came to Shen Xi excitedly, and was about to speak, when the helmsman of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies - the British Duke Zhang Mao came out after an errand, and Zhang Mao appeared together with Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, these two are the first-class civil and military generals in the court, Xiao Jing's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to greet him with a smile on his face.

Hu Songyue asked Shen Xi in a low voice, "Lord Shen, the gift sent by the last general after entering the city yesterday...... Did you receive it? ”

"Hmm."

Shen Xi nodded slightly, and then looked back at Zhang Yong, who was looking at the two of them with blank eyes.

Hu Songyue he: "Lord Shen, those for you are a little bit of kindness from the soldiers, don't dislike it, as for Gonggong Zhang...... The last general also prepared one, but he didn't know how to give it to him, so it was appropriate? ”

Shen Xi secretly pondered, Zhang Yongzheng was thinking about what he deserved, Hu Songyue was already ready for him, it seems that the people from Jingying still have a set of sophistication for managing people. Shen Xi said: "When the prisoner dedication ceremony is over, you can send it again, and I will help you think of a good way when the time comes!" ”

It is convenient to give gifts to Shen Xi, but it will take a lot of twists and turns to give gifts to the eunuchs in the palace, after all, the eunuchs live in the palace, and things cannot be sent into the palace gate casually.

Zhang Yong wanted to ask Shen Xi for the loot directly, but he was afraid that Xiao Jing and others would hear it, so he didn't know how to open his mouth for the time being, so he had to hint in various ways, but Shen Xi pretended not to know.

Soldiers and horses entering the city outside the city is equivalent to a military parade with prisoners, Shen Xi doesn't want to make extraneous branches, even if Hu Songyue and other generals in the Beijing camp have prepared Zhang Yong's share, Shen Xi will detain it.

Even though Zhang Yong had shared hardships with everyone in Tumubao, this greedy eunuch who was afraid of death always made Shen Xi a lot of trouble, and he was not so generous, and he would not blame Zhang Yong for a series of yin and yang behaviors.

When Hu Songyue heard that Shen Xi would make arrangements, he was immediately relieved, a big old man like him didn't have much idea in the first place.

In the minds of military generals, they can't let go of honoring anyone who may bring them meritorious deeds and rewards, Shen Xi, as the commander of the three armies, naturally can't be lazy, and Zhang Yong is a eunuch in the prison army, and when it comes to reporting to the imperial court, they dare not erase this filial piety.

Even if Hu Songyue and the others don't deal with Zhang Yong very well on weekdays, they still have to fulfill the courtesy.

Even Shen Xi knew the hardships of the soldiers under his command, if Zhang Yong's "filial piety" was saved, he was likely to suffer Zhang Yong's revenge, and some of the merits of the soldiers who followed him in the war would not be recognized by the imperial court.

What should be given, still should be given!

But you have to change the way and don't leave a handle for people to attack!

After Zhang Mao and others came out, in the hall of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, there were many famous ministers of the Hongzhi Dynasty, and Shen Xi stepped forward to greet them one by one, and these people spoke highly of Shen Xi, and the compliments were endless for a while.

Looking at this posture, the team has not set off for the time being, and there should be other ministers coming.

Just when Shen Xi was calculating whether the cabinet would send someone over, the two brothers Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, and Zhang Yanling, Marquis of Jianchang, appeared at the door of the lobby accompanied by officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The Zhang brothers suddenly appeared, and Shen Xi couldn't tell if they were sent by the emperor to participate in the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, after all, the Zhang brothers were on an errand in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, so they might stop by to say hello.

When the others entered the lobby, Zhang Heling first met Zhang Mao, Ma Wensheng and others, and then came over to greet Shen Xi, who seemed very warm and hospitable. Zhang Yanling was much more arrogant, and after entering the door, he ignored anyone, standing aside and watching coldly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Fortunately, everyone knows what kind of person Zhang Yanling is, and they don't care about him.

According to the brief exchange with Zhang Heling, Shen Xi judged that even the Zhang brothers would participate in this prisoner sacrifice ceremony, so today's lineup is a bit large and luxurious.

The Zhang brothers and the people from the Ministry of Rites arrived, and the personnel were almost there.

Xiao Jing, as a messenger, looked around, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day of the triumphant surrender of the army to prisoners, Your Majesty has made arrangements, you just need to follow Your Majesty's instructions and do today's things well!" We're here to salute all of you! ”

It was difficult for Xiao Jing to leave the palace to take charge of the outside affairs, and he seemed solemn.

The meaning of these words, to Shen Xi's ears, probably said, you just go through the motions, don't make trouble for me, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind.

The group is about to set off, Zhang Mao and Ma Wensheng, as the highest-ranking officials here, will be at the front, followed by the two Zhang brothers, and then Shen Xi.

Although Xiao Jing is a Qincha, he seems to be extremely low-key, and he would rather walk side by side with Shen Xi when he walks, which seems that he has no shelf.

As for Wang Shouren, Hu Songyue, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple and other yamen, they all followed behind, and the group did not ride horses or take carriages, after all, there was not much to go from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to Zhengyangmen, and the group all walked to the city gate.
