When Zhu Houzhao was in the East Palace, the eunuchs below often collected all kinds of gadgets, plus the eunuchs who guarded the town outside, etc., looked at the well-known good things and good talents that could not be seen in the capital, and often tried their best to send them to the palace. Thinking that Fu Rong, the eunuch who was as expensive as Nanjing, was not exempt from vulgarity, let alone others. Now that Zhu Houzhao has ascended the throne and become the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, the eunuchs of the East Palace have risen one by one with the tide, and they have to become even worse.

In the name of comforting the pain of the little emperor who lost his father and the king, this West Garden is full of all kinds of characters and things that cannot be sent to the palace. And there is a Dongchang Governor and Eunuch Wang Yue who can't see these things, and the three ministers of the cabinet are all deaf and clear-sighted, how can they not know?

And although this is an acre and three points of land belonging to the cabinet, Liu Jian has no intention of continuing on this topic, and Li Dongyang Xie Qian has no intention of picking up. So, Liu Jian paused, looked at the two colleagues who had worked together for many years, and accentuated his tone again.

"All in all, if the emperor wants to knight Xu Xun, even if it is a national duke, he can have whichever he wants, even if it is the palm print of the governor, it doesn't matter, but there is only one, and he must not be allowed to get involved in the Beijing camp or the twelve regiment camps! Only when this Beijing camp falls into the hands of trustworthy people is the blessing of all officials and the blessing of the world! Although Zhu Hui is incompetent, he is not ambitious after all, but this time he is too forward-looking, and he will be completely wrong if I bring it, I am afraid that he will be idle for a while. And the Duke of England is getting close to that kid......"

"How about Wudinghou? The brave battalion in the 12th regiment camp of the Marquis of Wuding has also been in charge for a while. ”

Listening to Liu Jian and Xie Qian's discussion, Li Dongyang sat there silently, but he couldn't help but think of Yang Yiqing in his heart.

Liu Daxia had a close relationship with him, and once praised Yang Yiqing's military strategy for him. is also a young and famous prodigy, he has been circling in the center, and because he once served the then crown prince Emperor Hongzhi in the East Palace, he has already entered the cabinet with Xie Qian in his early fifties. However, Yang Yiqing is the township test Xie Yuan, but the palace test is only the top three, not long after the title of the gold list met Ding Wei, became a scholar in the house, and went to Shanxi according to the judge, and then supervised Shaanxi, and finally returned to the dynasty to serve as the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, but immediately transferred to Nanjing Taichang Temple Qing, Liu Daxia recommended it and was simply sent to Shaanxi to raise horses.

said that it was because of his outstanding military strategy, but why didn't Liu Jian like his big surname? This time, Yang Yiqing seems to be acting recklessly, but he can bump into an emperor like Zhu Houzhao, and he is afraid that he will decide whether he will be guilty or not. In this way, this person who has been suppressed for a long time can be regarded as truly coming out.

"Xiya, Xiya?"

Li Dongyang, who was in deep thought, heard this voice and immediately came back to his senses, but saw Liu Jian and Xie Qian staring at him, and hurriedly said apologetically: "I didn't know what was going on last night, I didn't close my eyes much all night, and I was distracted just now." What major matters did Motosuke and Mu Zhai discuss? ”

Seeing that Li Dongyang was distracted, Liu Jian didn't care about himself, frowned and sighed and said, "Xiya, you and Mu Zhai are still young, you have to take good care of yourself." Just now, I came out to report the incident, saying that Xu Xun had violated the practice for many years by collecting all the bones of the fallen soldiers and transporting them back to Datong for burial. If they are all like him, how many silver taels will the court spend in the future? ”

"Silver is second, the important thing is that he acts like this, do you know that he is not buying people's hearts?" Xie Qian saw that his sharp point moved Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, so he said word by word, "This matter cannot be taken lightly, and you need to pay close attention." Moreover, Yang Yiqing, as the left deputy of the Imperial Palace, did not persuade and stop this kind of thing, plus he blatantly sent troops from Zhang Yong before, which is really a bit ridiculous! In addition to this discussion, we also have to discuss his dereliction of duty and leaving the customs without reporting, rewarding his merits and punishing his mistakes, so that the rewards and punishments are clear and the way to employ people. ”

"It's as Motosuke and Kisai said." Li Dongyang said perfunctorily, then clenched his right hand into a fist, gently hit his forehead a few times with the back of his hand, and sighed tiredly, "If there is any business today, I have to go back to the straight room to meet my eyes, otherwise I can't tell what the mess of my brain is." ”

Seeing that Liu Jian Xie Qian was speechless, Li Dongyang got up and went back to his straight room, but when he really lay down on the small bed and the wall of his clothes, he didn't feel sleepy at all. I don't know how long it took, but there was a sudden knock on the door outside, and remembering that he had ordered no one to disturb, he couldn't help frowning, and it took a long time for him to come in with a deep voice. However, the first words of the cabinet secretary after he came in made him lift the thin veil and sit up at once.

"Elder Li Ge, the celebrant sent a message from the celebrant supervisor, saying that it was Gonggong Xiao...... Father-in-law Xiao suddenly fainted from heat stroke, and the situation was not very good......"

Although Xiao Jing, the eunuch who was born in the inner study hall, has been impeached by many Taoist officials, some shouting and shouting to kill, and some shouting for expulsion, but he has always stood tall in several dynasties, and the position of the palm seal of the celebrant has been steadily occupied since Huai'en passed away, so it naturally has its undefeated reason. One of the most important is that his literary style is not inferior to that of ordinary Jinshi, he is usually low-key, and he always respects civil officials, so all successive ministers can get along with him. Now that he is suffering from heat stroke, it has suddenly become a topic of discussion in the capital from literature to martial arts, from internal officials to foreign officials.

The important thing is not whether Xiao Jing will have anything to do after this heat stroke, but what matters is that if the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal of the celebrant is really vacant, then who will be the successor!

"It can't be me!"

In the west factory of Lingji Hutong, Gu Dayong shrugged his shoulders and said such a sentence to Hui Dao. For the changes up and down in the palace in the past few days, he can't see it, and whoever comes to test him is pretending to be stupid, even in the face of Liu Jin. At this time, when he returned to his own territory, he was too lazy to pretend anymore, and at this time, he sat down, and said to Huitong: "I found an errand in front of the emperor today, I will go to Datong with you, and bring Lord Xu back with the scenery." This is not only to lift him, but also to lift our West Factory, plus to avoid this trip to the troubled waters, and by the way, stay in Datong for a few more days to avoid the limelight. ”

"Father-in-law is wise!" Huitong's words were sincere, and there was not much flattery.

Of course, Gu Dayong could hear that Huitong was telling the truth, and after he smiled, as soon as Huitong left, he immediately looked at the roof with his hands on his pillow. He is most interested in making money in this life, earning money that can not be spent in a lifetime, and leaving a thick family business for his children and grandchildren - he can't give birth, but there are many nephews and nephews surnamed Gu, and he can't kowtow to his tablet when the time comes? Of course he knew Liu Jin's thoughts, saying that he was pushing Gao Feng, but it was not a test to test everyone's tone to see if he could go on his own, but the celebrant had not been able to go in yet, so he pointed to the palm print eunuch, and his appetite was too big, so he still took the opportunity to avoid it first, and asked Xu Xun to get the idea seriously!

Datong Town General Military Office.

Zhuang Jian, the general soldier of Datong, never expected that this trip would have to take the risk of sending troops because of Zhang Yong's face and Yang Yiqing's reputation, but the result brought him such a fruitful return. There are four or five hundred war horses distributed to the head, even if Xu Xun has already made it clear, these trophies are all given to the soldiers of the Datong Army, and he is embarrassed to compete with his subordinates, but the merits of those beheadings are really counted on him, the general soldier who agrees to send troops. So, when Xu Xun proposed to bury the soldiers who died this time in a safe place around Datong, he agreed without saying a word, and did not consider any possible surnames that were impeached by the imperial history.

He took the biggest risk, compared with those unsought-for feats, the impeachment of this imperial history should only be an itch!

This time he personally went to accompany Xu Xun to bury hundreds of people one by one, and he personally set up a banquet in the General Soldier's Mansion to entertain Xu Xun and Zhang Yong, as for Liu Qing, the eunuch of Xuanfu Town who had stayed in Datong before, he asked Tan Ming, the eunuch of Datong Town, who had been his partner for many years, to accompany him - after all, he would rather offend the villain than offend the eunuch, and no one knows whether these eunuchs will come back, or even whether they will work with him - and invited the deputy chief soldier to entertain Yang Yiqing and Shenying.

After three rounds of drinking, he slapped his palm gently, and suddenly, four young and jade-looking girls walked out on the left and right. All eight of them wore gold-sold, gold-coated belts, and cloud-headed soap boots. With a little vermilion on his lips and a little cinnabar on his forehead, he looks charming and pretty.

The four of them sang the four-person dance, and the voices of the four singers sounded as if they were one person, sometimes clear as a birdsong, sometimes low as a whimper, although Xu Xun was difficult to distinguish the lyrics, but he also felt quite pleasant. As for the four dancing girls, they all had their waists and limbs in their hands, and their toes were moving freely, and the ribbons were as flexible as snakes, as if they were deliberately seducing, and they swirled a few inches away in front of his eyes.

In all fairness, Xu Xun has never had the leisure to appreciate these things in this life, and at first glance it is not so much stunning as it is novel. After all, this is the first time for him to sit in the front row. It's just that his casual attitude of not indulging in the slightest made Zhuang Jian feel a little drumming in his heart, and after the song ended, he pulled everyone back, and he hurriedly explained: "Lord Xu, Gonggong Zhang, although the national mourning has passed, this music and dance is too ostentatious, and I naturally won't make it difficult for the two of you." These are the eight singing and dancing girls sent by the royal palace in the music book. ”

Zhang Yong also took Zhu Houzhao to the outside of the palace to see those glamorous dances and light songs, and he also worked with Liu Jin to exaggerate the benefits of the team outside, and brought people to Xiyuan for Zhu Houzhao to watch, but for the level of these kabuki just now, he still got a good evaluation, but when he learned that it was someone from the palace, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Acting king?"

"The emperor has newly ascended the throne, and the acting king has carefully selected eight people in the hereditary Lehu in the palace and wants to dedicate them to the emperor. The acting king knew that Lord Xu and Gonggong Zhang had won the trust of the emperor, so when he learned that I was going to hold a banquet today, he asked me to give these eight people to Lord Xu and Gonggong Zhang, and if he felt good, he would send them to the capital after a while. ”

Zhuang Jian has been in Datong for many years, and this time because Xu Xun and Zhang Yong stayed here, they gave him some benefits, so he came here to lend flowers to offer Buddha. It's just that he was afraid that the two of them would have some misunderstanding because of this, so he hurriedly said sincerely: "This time, because of the border warning, the acting king once donated a thousand stone of military rations, but I don't have this kind of affection. ”
