Chen Bangyan bowed down and said, "The minister understands. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Zhu Youlang responded, and sighed lightly: "Aiqing has the talent to slaughter and assist, I originally wanted to leave Aiqing in Xingdu to assist, but the imperial court is now short of money and food, the situation is urgent, most of the officials in Xingdu are conservative, lack of talent, and they can't afford to be in the territory, Aiqing can do things, so the rectification of the shortcomings accumulated by the Guangxi Wei, and the messenger who collects money and grain can only appoint Aiqing to do it, when the national disaster occurs, Aiqing's responsibility is arduous!" ”

Chen Bangyan hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty sent, Weichen dares not to die." ”

"The siege of Qingyuan has just been resolved, Aiqing has successfully retired, and it is time for the couple to reunite and have a happy feast, but they want to go to Guangxi again, galloping thousands of miles in the scorching sun, and I don't want to go."

After saying some intimate words, back to the point, Zhu Youlang dictated his will in detail and detail, and after talking about the difficulties he might encounter, he said softly: "Qing went to Guangxi this time to make a decision, which has a lot to do with the imperial court, and if there is anything needed, even if I mention it, I will not allow it." ”

Chen Bangyan also raised some questions about the transfer of troops and generals, and Zhu Youlang agreed to all his requests. Chen Bangyan finally said: "The minister heard that the minister was sealing the territory and building a government, and he went to the road immediately after hearing about his fate." A retinue, stables, armor and other items should be issued by the division as soon as possible, so that Weichen will not set off on a wrong journey. ”

Zhu Youlang said very happily: "If you can be like this, what else do I have to worry about!" Everything needed, I immediately ordered each department to do it on the same day, I hope that Qing will go early and return early, and this great achievement will be accomplished, and I will look forward to good news in Lindu day and night. ”

At this time, it was already the time of the day, the lanterns were on, and it was not too early, Chen Bangyan kowtowed to Zhu Youlang, and was guided by the small inner supervisor with the palace lantern, and retreated according to the ceremony.

As soon as Chen Bangyan stepped out of the hall, an old man in a Confucian robe quietly walked out of the curtain behind the hall.

Zhu Youlang seemed to have known that someone had already known, and he said without looking back: "Sir, you should have heard all the conversations between Chen Qing and me, how is this?" ”

Just came out is the first assistant of the cabinet, when the dynasty is a prime minister Zhai Shiyun, he arched his hand and said: "The minister is His Majesty, the people, and the Ming Dynasty, this son is not only loyal and patriotic, but also full of policies to govern the country, which is a rare talent for the country!" It's better to be a minister! ”

Zhu Youlang smiled and said: "Mr. is too modest, even if this son is a little resourceful, it is not as good as Mr. Lao Chengmouguo, whether I can expel the captive, Zhongxing Huangming, it all depends on you, and I hope that Mr. will be condescending to the noble, one in the master, one outside the master, can cooperate with him well, don't let me down." ”

Zhai Shiyun said respectfully: "The minister is saved." ”

The next day, Zhu Youlang issued a formal edict appointing Chen Bangyan as the governor of Guangxi, and at the same time gave him a hundred taels of gold, three big red silk tables and three bullfighting clothes to wear.

The court and the head of the yamen were very quick this time, and Chen Bangyan deeply understood how anxious the emperor was about the lack of money in the central bank, and how ardent his expectations were for him. On the same day, he thanked him and asked for his majesty's resignation.

Zhu Youlang personally gave a banquet in the palace and feasted for him.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Bangyan entered the hall of the Ruibiao Hall of the Imperial Palace under the guidance of the internal supervisor, and paid a regular salute to the emperor with the praise of the Hongswelling Temple official in the sound of drums. The Guanglu temple official placed two seats in the middle of the hall: one was placed on the imperial table, and the emperor sat facing south; A seat is placed below. Chen Bangyan knelt down again and kowtowed to thank the banquet, and then sat down facing north.

Zhu Youlang nodded happily, waved his hand to the palace maids, they immediately took the wine and wine cups that had been prepared in advance, and walked to the front of the imperial case, Zhu Youlang poured a cup of wine with his own hands, handed it to Chen Bangyan, and said: "This is the daughter of Shaoxing who pays tribute to the local government. ”

Zhu Youlang raised the wine glass in front of him to toast Chen Bangyan. Chen Bangyan left his seat, knelt on the ground, held his wine glass in both hands, respectfully brought it to his lips, took a small sip gently, didn't dare to drink it all, and then choked up: "Thank you for the Holy Grace of Emperor Wu!" "The music stopped. Zhu Youlang asked a few words about his departure, and then instructed the little eunuch to toast him three times.

After the ceremony of giving the feast was completed, the wine and food were removed, and the officials of Guanglu Temple and Hongfang Temple withdrew first. At this time, the eunuch Yang Shouchun, the leader of the imperial front, appeared behind the throne in a timely manner, and Zhu Youlang turned around and called casually: "Yang Daban, you can accompany Chen Qing to the imperial stable, and let him choose a royal horse by himself, together with the eight-treasure saddle bridle I used the day before yesterday, and give it to Chen Qing, you lead the way in front for consultation!"

The imperial saddle horse is the usual method of the Son of Heaven to encircle his cronies, but it is an exceptional grace for the recipient to go to the imperial stable to choose the horse by himself.

Chen Bangyan received exceptional grace one after another, his heart was very worried, and he wanted to say thank you, but the emperor's grace and gentleness had a huge pressure like a mountain, Zhu Youlang would never allow Chen Bangyan to have any more objections to his grace, he urged Chen Bangyan to choose a horse quickly, not to shirk, and then smiled meaningfully: "Qing led the order to the west, sealed the territory for one term, can not save a good horse, I gave a BMW gift, very thoughtful, Qing must not live up to my heart." ”

Chen Bangyan still wanted to excuse himself, but Zhu Youlang had already turned back to the throne, and said in a heavy tone: "It is a big deal to rectify the shortcomings accumulated by the Guangxi Guard, and this time, success or failure is all related to Qing's body, I don't know what Aiqing has to say to me before leaving?" ”

Chen Bangyan stood up and said: "Your Majesty is not humble and despicable as a minister, but deeply dependent on his position, and the minister is deeply gracious, only to repay Your Majesty with all your might." However, as soon as the ministers leave the country, there will be a stagnation in the transmission of information, and some radical measures may cause the gentry to rebound and implicate the center, and then there may be ministers who are in collusion with the gentry to send gossip, or slander His Majesty, framing the subordinates, and causing the great plan to be ruined. Today, the minister resigns to His Majesty, and I implore Your Majesty to give his full support at that time, so that the minister can overcome the full achievement. ”

"It is common for those who have accumulated disadvantages to rectify and have a rebound from those who are entangled in interests. You can go with confidence, everything is up to me. In the end, Zhu Youlang snapped, patted the desk, and said with a sinister voice: "The shortcomings of the Tuntian of the Wei Institute are like a flood of beasts, and if necessary, you can use thunder to change it." In this way, I will give Qing 3,000 guards and pro-army as the Chinese army's standard, and follow Qing to settle in Guangxi, thoroughly investigate the illegal annexation of acres of land, generals, if there are rebels, you can cut it first and then play, confiscate the land, fill the treasury, raid the family and exterminate the clan, and never tolerate it! ”

Chen Bangyan left his seat, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty trusts him so much, even though the minister is powdered, it is not enough to repay it. If you go to Guangxi, if you don't make a contribution, the minister will die and seal the territory, and he will never survive. ”

His words were extremely sincere, and Zhu Youlang was also infected by this atmosphere, and gently patted Chen Bangyan's shoulder and said: "Don't say anything about dying or not dying, I don't want you to die, I still want to recover the rivers and mountains with you and create a peaceful and prosperous world together!" ”

"I've been looking forward to it." The two met and smiled, and everything was silent.
