Although Mu Tianbo brought his own generals, in front of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, he still honestly asked the accompanying staff officers to come forward, and did not show his identity as a national prince to open the way.

Although the generals in front of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army in Nanjing have always looked at the top, they are not stupid people who don't know how to read the style. Mu Tianbo and dozens of other people came from Beijing on business, and as soon as they exited, they wanted to meet the Nanjing garrison, looking at these dozens of fierce riders, these generals also knew that it must be a certain noble person from Beijing who came south on business.

Therefore, the general guarding the door politely asked them to wait outside the door, and someone here came in with the official document handed over by the other party to report.

While waiting outside the door, Mu Tianbo still had the leisure to watch the style of the old capital at the beginning of the country. But after he looked at it a few times, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. Located on the west side of the Hongwumen Imperial Road, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies may indeed be a majestic yamen back then, but today it is full of devastation, and many walls even weeds and trees have grown.

The place where they were standing was fine, and the place slightly away from the road had turned into a meadow. This desolate and dilapidated scene couldn't help but make Mu Tianbo frown. He couldn't help but ask the old army who was waiting beside him: "After all, this is still the yamen of the army's office, why don't you send someone to take care of the surroundings, is it possible that Funing Hou and they are working in such a place?" ”

The old soldier said with a smile: "The nobles are laughing, how can they work here, Master Hou, if they have something to do, they will do it at home." It's about the first time you've come to Nanjing for business, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here. ”

Mu Tianbo suddenly asked him in surprise: "The Nanjing Garrison Mansion is not here?" But the capital didn't say that the garrison had moved? ”

The old soldier looked left and right, and found that no one was paying attention to his side, so he said disapprerovitically: "The Nanjing Garrison is naturally still here, but our south is different from the north, not the official is the yamen, but the yamen is the official."

In the past, when Gonggong Cao was in charge of the Nanjing garrison, the Nanjing garrison office was in the town guard eunuch's mansion. Now that Gonggong Cao is gone, the Nanjing Garrison Mansion will naturally be moved to the Funing Marquis Mansion to work.

As for this place, it's just some archival documents..."

Mu Tianbo felt very incredible, but he still held back his curiosity and didn't ask the old soldier why Nanjing was doing such a thing.

This old soldier really didn't lie, and after a while, a middle-aged scribe walked out with the official document, the scribe didn't even dare to open the official document, he returned the official document to Mu Tianbo's accompanying staff officer, and then said with a smile on his face: "Please also ask a few adults to move their feet and go to the Funing Marquis Mansion to submit the official document, the villain can't receive the noble envoy from Beijing..."

Mu Tianbo also had no intention of embarrassing these low-level officials, and after signaling the accompanying staff officers to take back the official documents, he turned around and went to the Funing Marquis Mansion. However, this happened to a closed door, which made Mu Tianbo feel a little unhappy.

When he arrived at the gate of the Funing Marquis's Mansion, Mu Tianbo somehow had a thought, and only asked his accompanying staff officers to come forward to hand over the official documents, and he was not allowed to reveal his identity. The disciples of the Marquis of Funing are much more imposing than the generals of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, even if they are officers who go south in Beijing on business, they are not taken seriously.

Seeing that this staff officer didn't understand the rules, he didn't even say a word, so he threw the official document back to him and sent him out.

Hearing the return of the accompanying staff officer, Mu Tianbo's heart was really a little annoyed, and he decided to wait to see Funinghou, so he had to say a few words to him. So this asked the family general to knock on the door with his business card.

But soon the general returned with his business card, and said to him with a strange face: "Little grandfather, Funing Hou is indeed not in the mansion, saying that he is entertaining guests in Meilou today, and he will go out in the afternoon." ”

Mu Tianbo subconsciously asked, "Meilou?" What is that place? Who is he feasting on? How can you even ignore your business? ”

"Back to the little grandfather..."

After listening to the general's explanation, Mu Tianbo finally became angry, "This bastard doesn't work in the yamen during the day, but goes to the brothel?" Lao Tzu didn't dare to do this, but a mere marquis dared to be so presumptuous. Go and inquire about where this eyebrow tower is, I want to see how presumptuous the Xun family in Nanjing City is..."

Xu Wenchong, who was in the accompanying staff officer, grabbed the reins of Mu Tianbo's mount and said to him: "Little grandpa is angry, in what capacity does the little grandpa plan to go to Meilou now?" You haven't handed over official business now, and you don't have the right to punish the Marquis of Funing, if there is a trouble, we dozens of people will not be able to deal with the Nanjing garrison who is in charge of the military power in Nanjing. If we are beaten by the other party, then we will be embarrassed. ”

"Does a mere Hou Ye dare to rebel? I don't believe that he dares to mobilize troops to deal with me..."Although Mu Tianbo was unconvinced, he did not urge the horses again.

Seeing this, Xu Wenchong immediately continued to persuade: "Maybe Funing Hou doesn't have the guts, but the little grandfather has the emperor's order after all." If we can't deal with Funinghou, he, the head snake, is bent on embarrassing us, and I'm afraid we won't be able to do the official business in the future. ”

Mu Tianbo glanced at the Funing Marquis Mansion who was sneakily hiding in the porter and peeking at his own people, and finally regained some sense and asked, "So what do you mean?" ”

Xu Wenchong let go of the reins, arched his hand at Mu Tianbo and said: "The one who can dock with the little grandfather is not the Nanjing garrison, we can go to see the Nanjing military department Shangshu of the counselor's maintenance, and then let Lord Shangshu summon the Nanjing garrison, Nanjing coordinated garrison, and Nanjing Jinyi Guard command envoy to hand over the office affairs, so that the little grandfather has the right to rectify Nanjing's military affairs." Tonight, it's just right to give the little grandfather a prestige. ”

At this time, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department was Chen Xinjia, a long-lived man in Sichuan, who was good friends with Yang Sichang and was quite talented. When Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, found his mansion, he had just returned from the Yamen.

Mu Tianbo didn't have much patience left at this time, but he was bent on rectifying the discipline and noble atmosphere of the Nanjing army, so he talked with Chen Xinjia for a while, and then took out an official document, saying that he would follow the emperor's instructions and convene the two garrisons of Nanjing to discuss military affairs.

Chen Xinjia was also shocked when he heard this, and he immediately persuaded: "Little grandpa doesn't need to be in such a hurry, it's getting late today, why don't I settle down for the little grandpa first, and wait for tomorrow..."

Mu Tianbo interrupted him impatiently and said, "Tomorrow is tomorrow, tomorrow is so much." Lord Shangshu, now that the drought in the north is severe, the victims are in danger, and hundreds of people will die every day.

I have come here under the heavy responsibility of His Majesty, how dare I delay time for personal matters. I also ask Lord Shangshu to issue an order to summon the two garrisons, and let me explain His Majesty's order first..."

Although Chen Xinjia already felt that the other party had some bad intentions, he had only come to Nanjing for a short time, and he had no friendship with the nobles in Nanjing, so he naturally would not offend Mu Tianbo, who came on behalf of the emperor, for these nobles.

What's more, as the founding prince of the Ming Dynasty, the Duke of Qianguo is still the only duke who has military power and has not declined. Although the leader of the Ming Dynasty was still the British Duke at this time, the British Duke was not the founding duke, and his status was still inferior to the Qianguo Mansion.

After the Qianguo Mansion handed over the territory of Yunnan, whether it was voluntarily donated by the Mu family or not, the emperor would give preferential treatment to Mu Tianbo, the current Duke of Qianguo, to prevent others from gossiping.

Therefore, the Qianguo Mansion, which has returned to Beijing over the years, has almost suppressed half of the British Mansion, and has won the favor of the emperor. If this little grandfather Mu wants to embarrass the nobles in Nanjing, there is really nothing to do with the civil officials.

However, although Chen Xinjia issued an order, he only summoned Nanjing to coordinate the garrison, and the other Nanjing garrison was delayed. Obviously, Funing Hou, who was at the same level as Chen Xinjia, did not take his orders to heart.

After Mu Tianbo looked at the self-striking bell in the room, he couldn't help but say coldly: "It's already more than six o'clock, since Funinghou is not coming, then we don't have to wait for him, and we will communicate it to him alone tomorrow." Lord Chen, Li Shoubei, I will read to you His Majesty's edict..."

After listening to Mu Tianbo's edict, he suddenly replied with some difficulty: "Go back to the little grandfather, rectify military affairs, and escort the grain collection team to the county, all of which have to be nodded by the Marquis of Funing, and the list and account books in the army are all in his house..."

Mu Tianbo was suddenly angry, "The state has its own statutes, and all official documents and archives must be stored in the treasury, how can you take them home privately?" Is there any court law in the eyes of Marquis Funing? ”

Eating Mu Tianbo's fright, Linhuai Hou suddenly stammered a little and said: "This, this, before I came, the yamen in Nanjing had already acted like this, Chen Shangshu should also know, right?" ”

Chen Xinjia, who remained silent on the side, hurriedly denied it: "This soldier only knows that the Marquis of Funing rarely goes to the governor's mansion of the five armies, but this is the first time I have heard of this official document file to be taken home for processing. The Marquis of Funing and his own soldiers were jointly in charge of the military administration of Nanjing, how could this soldier inquire about such a thing. ”

Linhuai Hou was stunned for a moment, then closed his mouth, and no longer distinguished Fu Ninghou. Mu Tianbo looked at the two of them, so he said, "Okay, I'll wait until I see Funing Hou tomorrow to see how he can tell the difference."

However, after I entered the city today, I saw the officers and men of the army walking around the streets, which is probably not in accordance with military regulations. At this time, since it is already night, it is better to ask Lord Shangshu and Li Shoubei to inspect the military camp in the city with me to see if the soldiers in the camp have violated the order to go out at night, so that I can have a number in my heart. ”

Lin Huaihou's heart suddenly chuckled, and he turned to look at Chen Xinjia, hoping that this military secretary would come forward to turn around. At this time, when I went to inspect the barracks, I was really going to poke out the hole.

Chen Xinjia was a little unsure at this time, and it was difficult for him to confirm whether this was Mu Tianbo's whim or the emperor's instructions. He could have stopped the former, but if it was the latter, wouldn't he have helped himself with these generals, Chen Xinjia didn't think he had such a great friendship with these warriors.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Xinjia avoided Linhuai Hou's gaze for help, and echoed Mu Tianbo: "Then do it according to the little grandfather's wishes..."
