In the north of the imperial city, the ceremonial eunuch is in the straight room.

"Lao Wang, you should be cautious in doing things in the future, and don't make such jokes again. If it weren't for Ye Guang's kindness, Dongchang's face would have been lost this time. The older generation of you is not as good as the little monkeys in the East Palace, what kind of face do you have when you spread it? This time, I took down a few of those useless ones in one go, and I did it for your own good. ”

Among the seven or eight eunuchs, Dai Yi was the youngest, and he was also the most bookish except for Xiao Jing, not only writing a hand that was called a good calligraphy comparable to Shen Du's golden jade book, but also Fuqin was a must. Once, Emperor Hongzhi once asked him to play a song with Xiao Jing, and at the end of the festival he was full of appreciation, and the two of them were each given a piece of imperial book, so the two were the most compatible. But they get along, in the eyes of others, the two are usually gentlemen's friends, not friends, so this time the rectification of the East Factory is Dai Yiling.

At this time, he whispered this to Wang Yue, and when all the eunuchs arrived, he sat down one by one according to their seats on the left and right, and Dai Yi arched his hand at Xiao Jing, who was the head of the house, and said: "Gonggong Xiao, the master of ceremonies has always performed his own duties, and Gonggong Li suddenly fell ill, and he lacked a boss in his mess, so it is better to take precautions as soon as possible." ”

"That's what I'm saying, then ask Gonggong Chen and Gonggong Wang to bother more." Xiao Jing looked at Chen Kuan and Wang Yue, and saw that the two of them were stunned and hurriedly got up to respond, he pondered for a moment and then smiled again, "Recently, the emperor often meditates in the Zhai Palace, one is because of the continuous disasters since last year, this time there is no harvest in Anqing and other mansions in Beizhili, and the free food is ironclad, and the second is because the weather is getting hotter, the Zhai Palace is more ventilated and cooler than the Qianqing Palace. Gonggong Li said that he was sick and recuperated at home, according to our family, it is better to go to the palace to accompany the emperor, this chanting, meditation, plus day and night to see the face of the sky, stained with dragon energy, body and spirit can also be better. ”

Although Xiao Jing and Li Rong's discord is not on the surface, the people who are the celebrant are all human spirits, who would not know this stubble? Therefore, Xiao Jing actually found such a place for Li Rong, who claimed to be sick, which is not only not a fate, but a kind of fulfillment, after all, who doesn't know that Li Rong's illness is a heart disease? For a moment, several other eunuchs were taken aback. And Wang Yue Chen Kuan, who has always been good friends with Li Rong, nodded in unison after glancing at each other.

"It's still Grandpa Xiao who thinks thoughtfully!"

After the chores were disposed of, the eunuchs called in a few accompanying documents, and sorted out the folds according to the usual rules and regulations, and listed the important abridgements one by one. The crow was silently busy for more than an hour, and by the time the folds were finished, everyone was already sweating profusely. Xiao Jing took the soft towel handed by Ruisheng on the side and wiped his face, then looked at Dai Yi and said, "Old Dai, you will lead the way to the Zhai Palace today, and we will go to see Gonggong Li later." ”

When Xiao Jing said this, everyone was speechless for a while, and immediately went to the Qianqing Palace to send the bills to the cabinet, and the bills to the cabinet were scattered. Xiao Jing took a few little eunuchs to see Li Rong first, and in a few words, the old man was in tears, and he agreed to go to the palace to accompany him without even thinking too much.

When he returned to his small mansion, as soon as he entered the house, Xiao Jing sent away the other servants, leaving Ruisheng alone, and said after a moment's consideration: "When you go to see Xu Xun, you will say that Li Rong's transfer has been properly transferred." It is forbidden for people to enter and leave at will in the palace, and besides, he is a guilty person, so it is not so easy to ventilate and report the news. As for Ma Wensheng's side, he was busy with Jingcha and naturally didn't care about the pavilion selection, so he didn't need our family to try it, it must be Jiao Fang who came forward to preside over it with Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. The rest of the matter, our family can not do anything. ”

Xu Xun didn't see the confrontation between Wang Shouren and Li Mengyang with his own eyes, but on the day of the Rite Department's Enrong Banquet after the trial list, Wang Shouren rarely came to the barracks to report for duty, and he was late until the third day. Xu Xun, who was standing on the edge of the field and watching a large number of soldiers crawling and rolling, saw people coming from a distance, and immediately walked up and down to greet them, and looked up and down first.

It's okay, it's okay, there's no lack of meat! It seems that Li Mengyang finally didn't be as rough as he was when he beat Zhang Heling!

Wang Shouren now knows a lot about Xu Xun's style, and he reacted as soon as he saw people's eyes, and couldn't help coughing lightly: "Li Kongtong is not easy to convince that person, and I have tried my best to finally make people believe that you are single-minded and do not hide annihilation." I promised him to give lectures three times a month, and he gave up for the time being. But he was right, these times I was dedicated to military affairs, and I left other things behind for too long, and in the next period of time, I was afraid that I couldn't soak here. ”

"Brother Wang was originally a civil and military student, if you want to combine work and rest, I naturally have no opinion. It's just ......"

Before Xu Xun finished speaking, Wang Shouren sighed as if he had predicted it in advance: "What arrangements do you have, say it." ”

"I can't imagine that Brother Wang, an honest man, is now shrewd." Xu Xun smiled slightly, and when he saw Wang Shouren looking at him with some anger, he said with a smile, "Didn't I mention the matter of Xu Changgu to you once?" He was beaten in the street until his arm broke, and if I hadn't passed by, he would have run away. But those people only confessed that they were hired by others, and they could not find out the mastermind, so they could only forget about it. Fortunately, on the Queen's Thousand Autumn Festival, the prince asked me to find someone to write a few fresh songs, and I thought of him out of my mind. If it weren't for this, his results in the current examination would have been miserable. ”

Xu Zhenqing's matter Wang Shouren heard Xu Xun mention it, but at that time it was just an understatement, at this time when he heard these twists and turns, and learned that Xu Xun actually gave such an opportunity to an unknown person, and then thought that he had become half of the archery master of the current prince under his deliberate concealment, he couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Xu, I am reminded of myself by what you say." I really have to say, you're a ...... What a righteousness! ”

Xu Xun had flattered Liu Jin with the word righteousness before, and now he heard Wang Shouren praise him for righteousness, although he was extremely thick-skinned, he still couldn't help blushing - he was not a nosy person, if he didn't occupy the light of the unknown prophet, where would there be any righteousness Xu? Only this embarrassment passed for a moment, and he immediately said with a smile: "Brother Wang is really a great award, of course I have to help with this effort." Xu Zhenqing, Brother Wang, you have also seen it, it is difficult for those who judge people by their appearance to look down on him. Even if he passed the high school election, it is uncertain whether he can pass the hall election. Since you're going to lecture at the Literary Society Poetry Society, take him with you, right? ”

Wang Shouren said that Xu Xun was righteous, and when he heard this at this time, he couldn't help but laugh again. After nodding his head and agreeing, he said: "No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and you often feel relaxed and happy together, you are a clever and shrewd person at first glance, and you are deviant, but when you really get along, you feel that although you are not bound by the law, you are really attentive to people." Xu Zhenqing's matter is wrapped up in me, if you want to say that her appearance is not good, do you want to be the famous saltless gentleman at the beginning? ”

Although Xu Xun knew that he was clever with people, when he really got along, his calculations were nothing compared to his fulfillment of other people's minds, so he accepted Wang Shouren's praise loudly. The two talked for a while, Wang Shouren went to prepare for the night's art of war, and Xu Xun took advantage of the interval between the exercises to call Qian Ning over.

"Zhang Zong said that a few of them are still dissatisfied in the past few days? If they still use their own authority to instigate the young army below to get along with you, just tell me, I will punish them fiercely! ”

"Thank you, sir, a few of them are still safe these days!" Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not come at all these days, and he has not had the opportunity to show his mastery of opening the bow left and right, Xu Xun asked him to temporarily act as the agent of Qianhu, which still makes him feel valued. Even though he knew that the of the nobles below might be the price of being reused, he still gritted his teeth and endured it.

"Okay, with your words, I'm relieved! Qian Ning, I know that it will be difficult to train a few of them, but if it weren't for the fact that their identities were one at the top and one at the top, no one in this thousand households would be able to do it, and it would be difficult for me to pull you up. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a brave warrior, but you are brave alone, you have no personal connections, no subordinates, even if you are really in a high position, at that time, the people who tended to be enshrined were all people who tended to be inflammatory, and it was far inferior to the sincerity of people as they are now......"

After Xu Xun put his heart into Qian Ning, after returning home this night, he saw Ruisheng who was waiting at home, and if Xiao Jing brought it out, he knew that Li Rong would stay in the palace for the next few days, and he was naturally reassured. After sending Rayson away, as usual, when Li Qingniang came to be a matchmaker, he took the letter from the little girl, but left behind this extraordinary former elite of the West Factory.

"Mother Li, please go to Banqiao Hutong to send a letter to the monk, saying that he can go to Lingji Hutong in a few days to show his head. As long as he reveals his identity, the other side will definitely use him. ”

Seeing that Li Qingniang heard the word Xichang, his face suddenly became extremely complicated, as if he hadn't noticed, and said to himself: "In addition, you tell the monk and let him find a way to spread the rumor in the ears of Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and say that Jiao Fang, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, is dissatisfied with his son's failure to enter the department, and intends to ask for a reduction in the number of Hanlin Shuji in this department, and even plans to write a book to exclude the Ministry of Rites in the matter of selecting the museum, and all of them will be attributed to the Ministry of Officials and the Hanlin Academy." Then he said two sentences to Ma Wensheng, which meant that this time Jiao Fang was suspicious of being his mastermind. How to do it, he is an expert, he will do it. ”

Although Li Qingniang said that she didn't understand any major affairs in the court, Xu Xun's naked intention to spread rumors made her shudder. I didn't agree, but thinking that the eldest lady was tied to him, she had to nod. However, watching Xu Xun unfold her letterhead and look at the way she sometimes shook her head, sometimes shook her head, and sometimes stroked her forehead, the uneasiness in her heart eased a little.

"By the way, you go back and tell Yue'er, no matter how well the embroidery village is managed, it will be limited after all. If she is interested, there is still a large area of wasteland outside Xuanwu Gate, so she might as well eat some and build a house. I will definitely try to raise the ground there, and then it will change hands ten times and a hundred times. ”
