Chapter 62: Parting Ways
Out of Chengtianmen, Hong Menda hurriedly said: "Congratulations to Qian Shi for getting what he wanted." ”
Qian Jin smiled slightly and did not answer. Today, he and Hong Menda have their own gains, and it would be a bit hypocritical to say these compliments again.
However, he just got a thousand households of Jinyi Guard, but he is still a light pole, and there is no one around him to call. Now that he has offended a large number of people, the safety of the courtyard is worrying. Thinking of this, he said straight to the point: "I won't talk more about the kind words to Hong Tongzhi, you see...... Can you lend me some soldiers? ”
"Borrowing soldiers......" Hong Menda hesitated for a while: "Brother doesn't know, this brocade guard is not as good as the outer guards, they are all second generations, and it may be difficult for you to control it when you borrow it." ”
Qian Jin glanced at Hong Menda, feeling a little unhappy. He had only known this Hongmenda for a few days, and at first he thought he was a good person and did things well. Now it seems that this person is a little unruly.
However, after all, the two of them have been in the same boat, and the matter of "fines" has come to an end, and both of them have taken what they need, so they are naturally good at gathering and dispersing, and they can't hurt their face again because of borrowing troops.
However, Li Bin and Mu Qing must fight for it. These two people are very skilled, and they only served as a flag envoy under Hong Menda, which is really overkill. So, he stretched out his fingers and said with a slight smile: "I want Li Bin and Mu Qing, if Hong Tongzhi refuses again, I will turn my face." ”
Hong Menda hesitated for a while, but finally agreed. The two of them had their own concerns, so they went back to the office of the Suppression Department together.
After entering the duty room, Qian Jin closed the door, rested his feet on the table, and lay down on the chair, and fell asleep after a while. In the past few days, he has been busy with the official case, and he has never slept a single night, and his spirit is extremely tired.
In his sleep, he vaguely returned to the old mansion of the Wen family, and saw his grandfather who was pruning flowers and plants in the courtyard again, while Wu Bo was careful to take care of the caretaker on the side. Depending on the situation, my grandfather was able to walk alone after he had a prosthetic leg.
Qian Jin couldn't help but call "grandpa", and then stepped forward to support him. Grandpa smiled kindly and said, "You're back, there must be a lot to ask me this time, right?" ”
"Grandpa, your grandson already knows your identity, and you are hiding your grandson so hard?"
"Huh...... What if I told you? ”
Qian Jin couldn't help but be silent when he heard this. The identity of the traverser is his biggest secret, and his grandfather is naturally the same. If you don't have the strength, it will be harmful for your grandfather to reveal his identity. However, he had a question that had been on his mind for a long time.
"Grandpa, why did we come to Chen Guo? How did you get here? ”
Grandpa sighed and said, "There are days in the dark...... Since you have come to this world, it is naturally because of the cause and effect you planted in your previous life. Now is not the time to get to the bottom of it, leaving you with the time to do so...... Not much. With that, he put one hand on Qian Jin's shoulder and pushed it gently.
Qian Jin suddenly felt a strong force coming from his body, and then suddenly woke up from his sleep.
After a long time, he picked up a bowl of herbal tea on the table and poured a few sips, but his mind was still immersed in the dream just now. Everything in the dream was illusory, but the last words of my grandfather seemed to indicate something.
Perhaps, there is really not much time left for yourself......
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Qian Jin cleaned up his mood, got up and opened the door, and there were Li Bin and Mu Qing standing outside the door.
"Qian Shi said, Hong Tongzhi asked the two of us to come here, saying that you have something to explain." Li Bin bowed down and said.
Qian Jin nodded, invited the two into the room, looked at the seats, and said after a little thought: "Two flag envoys, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" ”
Li and Mu looked at each other, and they couldn't take any medicine sold in his gourd for a while. Mu Qing didn't think much about it and said, "Naturally, I heard the good news first. ”
"Mu Qi is refreshing." Qian Jin laughed and said: "The good news is that Your Majesty has rewarded Jinyiwei and promoted your Hong Qianhu to command Tongzhi, and I have become your Qianhu." ”
Hearing this, the two flag envoys hurriedly stood up to congratulate.
Qian Jin signaled that the two of them didn't need to be polite, and then sold a pass: "The bad news is...... I have spoken to Hong Tongzhi and assigned you two to my name. You should have been a prophet about this, and it's not too late to ask you both what they think. However, when you come to me, a hundred households can't escape. ”
Li Bin and Mu Qing glanced at each other, and then got up from their seats to thank them.
Qian Jin hurriedly got up and helped the two of them up, but began to muttered in his heart: Is a hundred households so excited? You must know that Lao Qian has been a hundred households for half his life.
However, he is short of people now, but it doesn't mean that he wants everyone, and some things are still good. Not to mention anything else, this character is the first, especially if you come to mess around. So he said with a smile: "I lack everything here, now counting the two of you, there are only three people in my thousand households, you two have to think clearly." ”
"Qianhu can rest assured, Mu Qing and I will follow you in the future." Li Bin bowed and replied.
Qian Jin heard Li Bin call himself a thousand households, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little strange, but his face was very calm. He deliberately asked with a straight face, "Give me a reason." ”
"Needless to say, there will be meat to eat and official promotions with thousands of households." Mu Qing is more straightforward and speaks more cheerfully.
Li Bin next to him pondered for a moment and explained: "Qianhu, both of us used to be one hundred households in the border town, and we also had some meritorious deeds. The family entrusted the relationship to install the two of us in Jinyiwei, but they have not been reused. With that, he sighed.
"With the skills of the two of you, it's more than enough to mix a hundred households in Jinyiwei." Qian Jin couldn't help but wonder.
"Thousands of households don't know. The officers and soldiers of the Jinyi Guard are hereditary, and only when there is a shortage of personnel will they be drawn from the border towns and foreign guards. Although Jin Yiwei has not had anything serious to do in recent years, he is still a good errand in the eyes of others, and he will be promoted quickly in the future. The two of us waited for three years, but there was still no vacancy, and we were only given the title of flag envoy. ”
After listening to Li Bin's words, Qian Jin finally understood why Hong Menda refused to lend troops to him.
First, according to Li Bin's words, the establishment of Jinyiwei is fixed, and if it is not expanded, he can only "borrow" it all the time. It's okay for two days a day, but if you borrow it for a long time, it will hurt your face.
Second, the inside of Jinyiwei can be said to be a radish and a pit. To put it bluntly, he is also a "supernumerary". If the manpower is transferred, there will naturally be vacancies, and with so many people in the capital watching, it is inevitable that some people will try their best to fill the vacancies. It is difficult to say whether these transferred people will be able to return at that time.
It seems that the emperor rewarded himself with a cheap thousand households. However, this time, I have to make some benefits for myself when I say anything. In the past few days, I have fined so many people, if no one retaliates, no one will believe it, so I have to give myself some strength to protect myself. Fortunately, now he has two cadres, Li Bin and Mu Qing, and the results are not bad. As for the issue of soldiers and establishment, I will have to ask the emperor for it again.
Qian Jin and the two of them had some more family routines, so they were assigned the first task, which was to protect the courtyard. In the days when the official case was investigated, he was worried that the courtyard would be remembered by people with a heart, so he borrowed dozens of brocade clothes from Hong Menda to guard it. Now that the emperor has reinstated, the soldiers borrowed from Hong Menda naturally have to be replaced, and now they can only work hard for Li Bin and Mu Qing.
The two gladly accepted the order.
After the two of them left, Qian Jin sat in front of the desk and pondered. "There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests", this is too appropriate to describe Hongmenda. When he was drinking in Chunfeng Building, he also swore that he promised to help him go to the case to check his grandfather's file, and he was busy these days, plus he was newly promoted, so it is estimated that he forgot about it to the clouds. It seems that he has time to go to the case vault.
Not to mention this, it has been a few days since he came to Zhenfu Division, and he has not yet visited Commander Zuo. At present, he has just been promoted to the thousand households of Jinyiwei, and if he doesn't come to the door, it will be a bit too much, so the villain family is nominally in charge of himself.
Commander Zuo's full name is Zuo Fang, in his fifties, medium build, and wearing a splendid flying fish suit. The Jinyi guards that Qian Jin saw in film and television dramas before all wore flying fish suits, and when he arrived in the capital, he knew where the flying fish suits could be worn casually.
When Qian entered the hall of the Zhenfu Division, several important members of Hong Menda and Jinyiwei were there, and they seemed to be discussing some confidential and important matters with Zuo Fang. Seeing that Zuo Fang's expression was not good, it seemed that he had just been angry. When he saw Qian Jin, he should put on a smiling face and greet him.
"Qian Qianhu, congratulations. This time, I have received the grace of God, and you have contributed a lot. ”
"The commander has been awarded, and now I am also a member of the Jinyi Guard, Your Majesty has rewarded me, and I also have a light on my face." Qian Jin said with a smile.
Zuo Fang grabbed Qian Jin's shoulders and said as he walked: "The official has already scolded Hong Tongzhi just now. It's all my own family, and it's a big deal to borrow a few soldiers. Wait a minute, you can take the roster of Jinyiwei, as long as you like it, you can pick whatever you like. ”
"That's a good feeling", Qian Jin said with a smile, "Isn't it possible for our Jinyi Guard to transfer people from the place, and the lower officials are going to go to the military department to ask for people after a while." It doesn't take too much, two hundred is enough. ”
"Thousands of households have seen the outside, this is originally a family matter of Jinyiwei, how can I bother the military department."
"You always have to pay back what you borrow, and the subordinate has made up his mind, and the soldiers still have to be recruited by themselves." After that, Qian Jin sued for a crime and left.
Zuo Fang was sent all the way out, and stopped when he arrived at the door of the meeting hall of the Zhenfu Division. When Qian Jin walked away, he snorted coldly, and then flicked his sleeves back to the hall.
