Chapter 443: Unbelievable
Kou Dagang didn't care, and said with a smile, "The virtuous son-in-law is still inside, and this is not a place to speak!" ”
Zhou Zhi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Kou Dagang didn't care about it. But I still followed the old man into the living room. Kou Peihan went to the backyard to talk with his mother after meeting his father. When mother and daughter meet, there is naturally endless things to say.
In the living room, Zhou Zhi sat down, and a servant had already brought fragrant tea, which made Zhou Zhi feel a little flattered.
You must know that Zhou Zhi entered the Kou family before, how could he have such treatment. Moreover, even after his marriage to Kou Peihan, his treatment in the Kou family has changed a lot, but when his father-in-law talks to him, he always has to hold a shelf, and his face is always serious.
It was at the beginning of the year that he got rid of the arrest of his father-in-law, and rescued his father-in-law from Guo Liang of the Houjun Governor's Mansion. Zhou Zhi could see at that time that although the old man was grateful to himself, he still had to keep a straight face.
But today is very different.
Didn't you see that Kou Dagang was full of spring breeze?
Zhou Zhi hesitated slightly, and without waiting for Kou Dagang to ask, he said, "Last time, the son-in-law rescued his father-in-law from Guo Liang's hands, although Guo Liang was very courteous to his father-in-law on the surface, but when the son-in-law thought about it, Guo Liang would not give up on this matter!"
In a word, Guo Liang was only under the pressure of the emperor, and the end of the great eunuch Li Guang at that time made him a frightened bird, and he released his father-in-law without hesitation.
But when Guo Liang comes back to his senses, what I'm afraid is that Guo Liang will find a way to harm his father-in-law!
Father-in-law, please think about it, that Guo Liang is the right governor of the rear army, and the father-in-law is just a small thousand households in the Thousand Households of the Fallen Horse Pass, and the father-in-law is very small in his eyes. ”
The reason why Zhou Zhi made such a judgment at this time was actually after thinking about it carefully in the past few days. He could clearly feel it from Guo Xun's attitude towards him.
When he first went to Guozijian, Guo Xun made things difficult for him in every way and looked down on him in various ways. But when he cleaned up the great eunuch Li Guang and shocked Guo Liang, Guo Xun's attitude towards himself changed greatly. Zhou Zhican feel that Guo Xun seems to have a lot of respect for himself.
But as soon as he quit the prince's companion, or almost had his head cut off by the emperor and the queen, Guo Xun's attitude towards himself returned to the initial state.
At that time, when I returned to Guozijian from the palace alone, I happened to meet three of the four young people in their capital. Guo Xun's eyes of contempt and hatred for himself always appeared in Zhou Zhi's mind.
Damn! This Guo Xun is a complete villain.
I didn't want to offend him and make enemies with him. But his identity as a poor countryman and a talented country man has never been able to make him look up to him.
Zhou Zhi knew that Guo Xun's attitude was actually a reflection of his father Guo Liang's attitude to a large extent.
Zhou Zhi thought that Guo Liang was likely not to let go of his father-in-law Kou Dagang. After all, the old father-in-law's fallen horse Guan Qianhu is directly under the jurisdiction of the Houjun Governor.
"Huh! The virtuous son-in-law is too worried! The virtuous son-in-law may still have no idea, just a few days ago, the imperial court suddenly gave an order to the old man, asking the old man to enter Beijing in a few days and take up the post of Jinyi Wei to pacify the town.
Hehe, the old man inquired a lot and learned that it was the commander of Jinyiwei who made Mu Bin recommend the old man from the current saint.
However, the virtuous son-in-law, the old man knows that in the end, the old man is still stained with the light of the virtuous son-in-law. According to the old man's many inquiries, Mu Bin had a good impression of the virtuous son-in-law, and it was precisely because of the face of the virtuous son-in-law that he sent the old man to Beijing and took up the post of Jinyi Wei's envoy. Kou Dagang said with a smile. The corners of the eyes and eyebrows could not hide a lot of excitement.
Yes, Kou Dagang is now a thousand households in the Thousand Households of the Fallen Horse Pass, and he is a five-grade official. And Jinyiwei Zhenfu is a fourth-grade official, and his grade is naturally improved. Moreover, as we all know, Jinyiwei played a pivotal role in the Ming Dynasty, and it was directly responsible to the emperor and directly obeyed the emperor's orders.
During the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, although the status of Jinyiwei was weakened, Emperor Hongzhi still attached great importance to this institution.
So from this point of view, Kou Dagang definitely belongs to promotion. He has been doing thousands of households for a long time, and he finally had such an opportunity when he was in his forties, and he entered Beijing all of a sudden, how can Kou Dagang not like it at this time?
However, at this time, Zhou Zhi was like falling into a fog, just now the old man said very clearly, the old man's promotion was stained with his own light, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard made Mu Bin give the old man such an opportunity because of his own face.
But how did he and Mu Bin ever know each other? Although he lived in the capital for a while, and he also served as the prince's companion for a while, he did not know Mu Bin, the commander of Jinyiwei, at all, and he did not have more than half of the contact. To say that Mu Bin gave his father-in-law such a promotion opportunity because of his own face, isn't it a big joke?
Could it be that the old man is joking with himself? Is it deliberately teasing yourself?
But looking at the face of the father-in-law, it was solemn, and it seemed to be very real. It's unbelievable.
But no matter what, it's really a good thing that the old man can go to Jinyiwei and follow Mu Bin to do things.
Zhou Zhi, as a traverser, naturally knows Mu Bin.
According to historical records, Mu Bin was a rare good official in the Ming Dynasty. He served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, but he did a lot of good things. This person is an upright person, and he is not in the same stream as those in the court, and he is also a clear stream in the Hongzhi period when the politics are clear.
Zhou Zhi really has an idea, and if he has the opportunity to have more contact with an upright person like Mu Bin in the future.
But his current identity is too humble, just a small poor talent in the countryside, how can he intersect with Mu Bin, the dignified commander of the Jinyi Guard.
Well, since what the old man said is serious, then think so for the time being, and take this matter as promised, and listen carefully in the future to see what the old man's promotion is all about.
Hehe, in fact, what Zhou Zhi didn't know was what Kou Da said just now, and there was some truth.
Zhou Zhi has been in the capital for a period of time, and the movement is definitely not small, the Jinyi Wei is pervasive, and the commander Mu Bin really pays some attention to Zhou Zhi. Especially when Zhou Zhi killed the great eunuch Li Guang very easily, Mu Bin attached great importance to Zhou Zhi.
Mu Bin and Guo Xun, the governor of the rear army, have never been on good terms, although Guo Xun is in a high position, but in Mu Bin's eyes, he is a villain, he has no learning skills, and he has no ability. Guo Xun oppressed the people, and bullying people made Mu Bin hateful, but because of Guo Xun's status and his relationship with the emperor, Mu Bin did not dare to make things difficult for Guo Xun easily.
Guo Xun arrested Zhou Zhi's father-in-law Kou Dagang, and Kou Dagang also attracted Mu Bin's attention. After many searches, he learned about Kou Dagang's personality and ability, and Mu Bin's eyes suddenly lit up. Jinyiwei is short of manpower now, and isn't Kou Dagang exactly the person he needs?
And he is obviously an enemy of Guo Xun, which is exactly what he needs.
Moreover, although Zhou Zhi said that he resigned from the prince's companionship, which caused the emperor to be dissatisfied, Mu Bin also knew that Xu Pu, the first assistant of the cabinet who had just given Zhishi, and Li Dongyang, a member of the cabinet, all liked Zhou Zhi very much, and Mu Bin concluded that Zhou Zhi would definitely do a lot in the future.
More importantly, Zhou Zhi was born in a poor countryside, and he is really not bad. Mu Bin felt that he had a relationship with them, which was very helpful to him in the future and to his work in Jinyiwei.
In a word, talents are rare, and Kou Dagang just wants to receive them by his side.
