After a cup of tea, a dull cannon sound suddenly came from the city of Nanjing, and then countless soldiers and horses rushed out from the Guangji Gate of the Black Hole Cave, and Yang Zhan's neatly arranged formation was washed to a pulp, and it took another tea effort to form a slightly loose formation in the shouting and scolding of several officers.

Immediately afterwards, three officials in their fifties walked out of the door side by side, one of them wearing the official robe of a second-class civil official, one wearing a five-clawed python robe, and the other dressed as a eunuch.

Ji Qingwen didn't recognize any of these three people, so he quickly turned his head and asked, "Who are these people?" ”

Li Yuanyin is worthy of being an experienced spy, and he had investigated the matter clearly before coming to Nanjing, and introduced as soon as he opened his mouth: "The military affairs in Nanjing City are resolved by three people through consultation, please take a look - the second-grade civilian official is Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department; Wearing the royal python robe is the commander of the city, the noble and sincere, Liu Kongzhao; That eunuch was Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison. ”

Ji Qingwen asked, "What?" I don't seem to have seen Shen Liangzuo! ”

Li Yuanyin replied: "Then Yang Zhan is not Shen Liangzuo's subordinate, so naturally he will not report him." ”

"And that Shen Liangzuo doesn't seem to be a stupid person - Brother Ji didn't ask him to come over by name, so naturally he won't come to wade into this troubled water." Li Yan added.

"So I'm going to worship them? Or are you waiting for them to come and worship me? Ji Qingwen asked again.

Li Yuanyin thought about it for a while and said, "Although the adult is only a five-rank petty official, he has the identity of a minister. One of these three people is a six-part scholar, one is a noble earl, and the other is a eunuch, and at most they are on an equal footing with adults. It's okay for adults to come up and greet them or wait here. ”

Ji Qingwen naturally didn't come forward to greet him.

So he turned his head and gave an order to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, be in good spirits, there are some big officials in front of you!" ”

Nearly half of the more than 1,000 "Ming Wu Army" under Ji Qingwen's command had fought with the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and they had all seen some of the world. Therefore, when they saw the sparse appearance of more than 2,000 new officers and soldiers in Nanjing City opposite, they already had a trace of contempt and disdain in their hearts, and they were reminded by Ji Qingwen like this, so they reluctantly raised some spirits.

The three "big officials" on the opposite side were also waiting for Ji Qingwen to come forward to pay homage, seeing that he had not moved for a long time, they felt that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and the three of them discussed with each other for a while, and then decided that Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, came forward and arched his hand towards Ji Qingwen, but did not speak.

Ji Qingwen saw that this Xiong Mingyu was in his fifties, very short and thin, with a well-trimmed goat's beard on his chin, and he was dressed like an elegant scholar, but he didn't know what he was

He was sent to Nanjing to be the secretary of the military department who was responsible for the military affairs in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xiong Mingyu also looked at Ji Qingwen, and thought: It is said that this Ji Qingwen is young, his official position is not high, and he is not from a serious imperial examination, but he has won the trust of the current emperor, and several scholars in the imperial cabinet are also very kind to him, but I heard that this Ji Qingwen has offended Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin, but there are many Donglin party members who have a close relationship with him......

What is the origin of this Ji Qingwen?

With this difficult question, Xiong Mingyu squinted a pair of old eyes and looked Ji Qingwen up and down I don't know how many times.

Ji Qingwen was uncomfortable by him, and preemptively greeted: "This adult, I don't know your name?" ”

Xiong Mingyu waited for this greeting, and immediately arched his hand and reported his resume: "This official Xiong Mingyu, with good words, is a jinshi in the twenty-ninth year of Wanli, and worships the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department." ”

Ji Qingwen had no choice but to report his name: "Xiaguan Ji Qingwen, hand-picked Suzhou Weaving Admiral." ”

Although Ji Qingwen has a rich experience, he doesn't have a decent background, and his official position is just a five-grade miscellaneous official, so there is nothing eye-catching about the report.

According to the rules, although Ji Qingwen, the weaving admiral, is not a direct subordinate of Xiong Mingyu's line of the Nanjing Military Department, but he, a five-grade miscellaneous official, visited Xiong Mingyu, a second-grade scholar from a serious jinshi for the first time, and he had to kneel and kowtow anyway - but Ji Qingwen only arched his hand indiscriminately now.

Xiong Mingyu was born as a Jinshi, and he had some contact with the Donglin Party, and attached great importance to these etiquette routines in the officialdom.

Therefore, Xiong Mingyu looked at Ji Qingwen's arrogant appearance, and suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, and was just about to open his mouth to teach him some principles of being an official, but suddenly remembered that Ji Qingwen's small, unpopular "weaving admiral" was preceded by the word "Qinzhi".

This means that Ji Qingwen is the identity of the minister of the Qincha, and to some extent represents the authority of the emperor, so he stands proudly in front of the military department Shangshu, stands and does not worship, and he has not done anything wrong according to the law.

This made Xiong Mingyu a little full of anger and could only nest in his chest, unable to vent it, and hesitated for a long time before asking: "Lord Ji, you led so many soldiers and horses to the city of Nanjing, quarreled with the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and heard that you even used guns...... What's going on here? ”

Ji Qingwen replied: "Oh, it's actually not a big deal, but I want to enter the city, but General Yang, who is guarding the city, won't let me enter the city......"

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Xiong Mingyu asked suspiciously, "Which General Yang stopped you?" ”

A six-grade official like Yang Zhan

, under the command of the dignified Nanjing Military Department Shangshu, it is like a carp crossing the river, Xiong Mingyu can't remember Yang Zhanqi.

So Yang Zhan shrank behind Xiong Mingyu, and after informing his name, official position, and resume, he said: "My lord, there is indeed such a thing, it is the last general who will not let Lord Ji enter the city......"

Unexpectedly, before Yang Zhan finished speaking, Xiong Mingyu raised his hand and slapped Yang Zhan in the face, angrily scolding: "Bastard! What kind of person is Lord Ji, he wants to enter the city, why don't you let him in? ”

Xiong Mingyu slapped this slap not only to vent his anger, but also to give Ji Qingwen face, so he himself thought that this slap was very clever.

But Yang Zhan, who was beaten, was wronged, although the slap was not heavy, but it left a mark of shame on Yang Zhan's face as a bloody man.

However, the so-called "first-class official crushes people to death", and the second-rank military department is still many levels higher than the sixth-rank city gate guard, so Yang Zhan can only cover his hot cheeks and explain: "My lord, you misunderstood, in fact, this is the ......"

Unexpectedly, Xiong Mingyu shrugged his eyebrows, and then said, "Why do you dare to talk back?" Hum! Now you soldiers are getting bolder. In the battle of the Beijing division a month ago, the chief soldier of Liaodong, Zu Dashou, actually escaped from the battle, do you want to learn from him? Good! Since you are going to escape from the battle, then the official will fulfill your wish, and you should not be a six-rank general! ”

With his words, Yang Zhan's reputation in exchange for life and death was slashed!

Ji Qingwen is also a person who loves talents, and when he heard this, he hurriedly took a few steps forward, shook it to the end, and explained: "Lord Xiong, this is not the case. It was the lower officials who wanted to let the rural brave regiment under his command enter the city together, so General Yang Zhan stopped him, not because he intended to get along with the lower officials. Please pay attention to this, Lord Xiong......"

When Xiong Mingyu heard Ji Qingwen's attitude was much more respectful, the anger in his heart disappeared a lot, and he actually forgot about Yang Zhan's matter, frowned, and said: "Lord Ji, it seems that there is no precedent for the local general to lead the officers and soldiers of the guard into Nanjing City, right?" ”

Ji Qingwen replied: "Lord Xiong, this is not the army of the local guard, but the village warrior regiment training who weaves the yamen, and it is not for no reason that the lower officials lead the army into the city, but they just want to escort me to weave the yamen to pay tribute to the emperor's royal colored brocade." ”

Xiong Mingyu quietly listened to Ji Qingwen's speech, and said: "There seems to be no precedent for this matter. The Beijing-Hangzhou Canal leads directly to Suzhou, and Suzhou weaves Yamen tribute silk, which has always been shipped on the local ship, and has never been transported to Nanjing and then transported to Beijing. ”

Ji Qingwen said: "In fact, the lower officials are not all here to pay tribute. It was because the emperor appointed Shen Liangzuo, the chief of ceremonies, the commander and the eunuch, to come to Songjiang Mansion to serve as the city's chief minister, and the lower officials came to see it by the way. ”
