Chapter 159: Xu Liang was knighted, and Xu Xun was promoted

The Qianqing Palace tossed most of the night, but the cabinet tossed a whole night, so early the next morning as usual, Emperor Hongzhi's spirit was naturally not much better, not to mention Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, who was twice his age. As soon as the five important but insignificant events were played, as soon as the official articles such as the introduction of His Majesty's speeches were done, the emperor immediately bowed his head and signaled to retire from the court, and he didn't stay even for a moment, and the three ministers were also anxious to go back to the straight room to make up for sleep.

As for the young Zhu Houzhao, he didn't know that there was such a change last night. Yesterday, he went to the ministry to listen, but because of a good word, he was taught a whole half an hour by Emperor Hongzhi's ear, and he didn't dare to touch his head again, so he sent Liu Jin to the celebrant to inquire, however, although the four didn't see what was written in the secret revelation and the imperial notebook, but they knew that the master of ceremonies and supervisors who knew the joints were all tight-lipped like bottles, so that Liu Jin touched a soft nail, so he had to go back to his life.

Zhu Houzhao had the intention to sneak out of the palace again to inquire about the news, and by the way, he asked himself what Xu Xun had to do, but Chengqian Palace was much more concerned than before, and Emperor Hongzhi actually sent someone to escort him to Wenhua Hall to listen to the lecture, even if he was reluctant, but Chrysostom said that he had no choice but to obey the order.

As for Xu Xun outside the palace, except for the necessary Yuezi to follow Xu Liang to Xing'anbo Mansion to complete the necessary funeral, most of the next Yuezi still continued to stay closed, and he had nothing to do to read the book that Wang Shikun brought back from Xie Duo, the priest of the Guozi Prison, after Wang Shikun went to Yanjing Guozijian - he didn't expect at all that the letter that Zhang Mao asked him to send to Xie Duo was not for anything else, but for Xie Duo to accept him as a student! Although Xie Duo had not yet said whether he would agree or refuse, he asked Wang Shikun to bring back four boxes of books, which made him deeply feel for the old gentleman who was far away in Nanjing, not to mention the guilt in his stomach.

He has always been the type of people who respect me and I respect people, he once calculated that Zhang Mao lost his face, but Zhang Mao treated him so kindly, how could he be happy?

Suddenly, another twenty days have passed, and Xing'an Bo Xu Sheng's Qiqi has been completed, just waiting for the burial. On the one hand, Xu Xun was reading a book, while thinking about how many clues Huitong had found, and on the other hand, he was thinking that these days and occasionally slipped away to the mutton alley under the guidance of Li Qingniang and had a private meeting with the little girl, Li Qingniang actually said that the little girl took the risk to "meet" Mrs. Li Dongyang for him, he really didn't want to go, and now that his own affairs have been decided, he should also think of a way to let the little girl stand in front of people openly. When he was distracted from the three uses, there was a sudden loud commotion outside. After a while, with a burst of footsteps, Tao Hong rushed in directly through the thick door curtain like a gust of wind.

"Young Master...... Master, the angel is here! ”

Not long after arriving in the capital, Tao Hong had already learned the title of the official eunuch in the capital. Of course, this is also due to the words and deeds of the prince who often visits here. And now Xu Xun has passed the season of treating angels as birdmen, he almost subconsciously put the book on the table, then stood up and asked, "Who is here?" Is it my dad or me? ”

"It's ...... Ahem, all in all, it's a good thing, not a bad thing, young master, hurry up and change your clothes first! ”

Seeing that Tao Hong was halfway through his words, and without saying a word, he opened the rattan box to rummage through the crown clothes he wore when he was facing the saint before, Xu Xun suddenly became extremely strange. However, since it was a good thing, he didn't bother to think too much, so Tao Hong pulled off the homely jacket on his body and dressed him neatly. When he got out of the second gate, he saw that Xu Liang was already standing in the courtyard, and in front of the incense case that received the order, behind Sun Bin, the celebrant who was holding the Huang Aya's decree, was standing Ruisheng, who had not been seen for a long time!

In the past two months, Latham has become more calm than before, at least standing there, and the people who come out of the Ten Palaces are not always a little cowering like before. However, at this moment, seeing Xu Xun hurriedly coming out of the second gate, his face still showed undisguised surprise, but he still couldn't help but move his steps, just staring at the person who strode over, as if he couldn't see enough.

Although he has served Xu Xun for half a year, this half year is the fastest and most comfortable life in his life!

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and he said: Xing'an Bo Xu Sheng died without a child, according to the law there is a way to win the title, but in the past, Xing'an Bo Xu Xiang was diligent and cautious, and Xu Heng was a meritorious soldier in Xing'an, and I couldn't bear to be a meritorious hero. With the eldest and youngest, Xu Liang is hereby ordered to attack the title of Earl of Xing'an, Lu Qianshi. Xu Yi is still the standard-bearer of thousands of households. Chin this. ”

After this short decree was read, Xu Xun saw Xu Liang kneeling on the ground, his fingers were tightly picking the ground, who didn't know that his father, who had been stumbling for half his life, couldn't bear this sudden good news, so he hurriedly bumped him lightly with his elbow. It wasn't until Xu Liang finally burst out with that thank you that he followed and kowtowed. However, when he was about to help Xu Liang, he saw Sun Bin's voice coming from the top again.

"Xu Gongzi...... No, it's time to change the name to Xing'an Boshizi in the future. Then there is an appointment letter from your subordinates, but it is not a will, so you don't have to bow down. ”

Xu Xun, who raised his head, saw Sun Bin smiling, and immediately helped Xu Liang to get up, and when Xu Liang took over the holy decree of the yellow silk cover, he stretched out his hand and took over the official document of the military department. After reading it from beginning to end, he unconsciously raised his head again and glanced at Sun Bin, but because the courtyard was full of people, he didn't rashly ask. waited until Xu Liang returned to the main room to worship the holy decree, and he invited Sun Bin to the main hall to serve tea, and then took the document and asked, "Grandpa Sun, this is ......?"

"Our family wants to congratulate the prince, although according to the system of the Yongle Dynasty, there are a total of five commanders in the avant-garde of this army, but now except for you, the other four are all Shilu who don't care about anything, as for the officers of thousands of households and hundreds of households. Gonggong Xiao said, the emperor does not expect you to complete the army, nor does he expect you to lead the army, it is because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince requested. So you only need to pick 500 people, whether it is the main army or the rest of the army, pick 500 people, it's up to you, as for the officers, aren't you familiar with Ding Changsun, you can transfer a few through him. All in all, within three or five months, you have to at least let these people be able to show His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Calculate the number, in the next few days, you and Xing'anbo will move again, and after ten days, you will go to the military department to officially take office. ”

Speaking of this, Sun Bin saw Xu Xun dumbfounded, so he smiled meaningfully and said, "If you were in the past, you would naturally be difficult to convince the public at a young age. But now that you are the son of Xing'anbo, the advanced commander will not be abrupt. Although it was Zhang Yong's idea for His Royal Highness the Prince, if it weren't for Gonggong Xiao, how could anyone think of going to the avant-garde of the government army? Gonggong Xiao also said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been detained in the Wenhua Hall to study, and he has been complaining for a long time, and the East Palace has to change the way to have fun to relieve the prince's fatigue. Since you are destined to know the prince, and you will be in charge of the young army in the future, and you will have countless opportunities to get along with the prince, you can think carefully about how to grab the heart of His Royal Highness the prince from those plays. The emperor only has the only seedling of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it is really good to make him healthy. ”

Xu Xun was only serving a small service in May, if it weren't for Xu Liang's attack on the knight, he would be able to come out to meet people after the first seven days, as long as the mourning clothes were worn inside. In addition, he and Xu Sheng don't have much affection, so they naturally don't care about serving in the division within this mourning period. Knowing that half of his job was Zhu Houzhao's meaning, and half of it was Xiao Jing's efforts behind his back, he naturally could carry it clearly, so he had to ask Sun Bin to tell Xiao Jing to thank Yunyun. And Sun Bin glanced at Rayson and saw that he looked at Xu Xun as if he had something to say, so he immediately stood up, smiled and patted the little guy's shoulder, and went straight out first.

"Young Master......"

Seeing that Ruisheng's eyes were gradually turning a little red, Xu Xun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but there was an indescribable kindness that spontaneously arose-he was still the little guy who loved to cry at every turn! Standing up and walking up to Rayson and Rayson, he smiled as he had done before and pressed his head, and then asked, "How are you in the palace?" ”

"Well, good!" Latham nodded vigorously, as if he was afraid that Xu Xun would not believe it, and he added, "Gonggong Xiao treats me very well, except for going to the Qianqing Palace and discussing matters with the celebrant and supervisor, I follow me everywhere." Everyone was very polite to me, and my grandfather also taught me how to write and all kinds of rules, and now I can recognize five or six hundred words! ”

Seeing Ruisheng's proud face, Xu Xun couldn't help but flick the little guy's forehead again, and seeing that his eyes were shining, he nodded with a smile and said, "Very good, you have really grown up!" Only in the palace, you must remember that silence is golden, don't talk recklessly, especially listen to the words of Gonggong Xiao and Gonggong Sun. And remember one thing, don't be unbearable just because someone in the palace says what is right or wrong about me, and don't think about reporting to me, you are now a person in the palace, remember not to call me young master in the future......"

Xu Xun said a lot of things, but the corner of his eye was reluctant to skim away from the door curtain. Although he didn't know if Sun Bin who went out would eavesdrop on something, and although he didn't know if Latham had heard any secrets from the celebrant supervisor, he still didn't plan to bet on this possible surname, so he grabbed Latham's arms as he spoke, but his right index finger lightly scratched the little guy's arm a few times, but it was the word caution. Seeing that Ruisheng was looking at him, he suddenly bit his lip and nodded vigorously, and then he smiled.

The first gate of the Imperial City North Celebrant is not like the outside yamen facing north and south, but facing west, and after entering the door, there are more than a dozen pine and cypress trees planted in the south, and there is a row of low houses. This is the famous inner study hall among the eunuchs.

The little eunuchs in the four rooms were all added together, and there were only twenty or thirty people, one group between six and eight years old, one group between eight and ten years old, one group between ten and thirteen years old, and another group between thirteen and sixteen years old. The biggest ones are about to come out and assign them to work in various places, and the people who are here to teach them are all real Hanlin. It can be said that those scholars outside who study hard for the imperial examination can rarely enjoy such treatment.

At this moment, Xiao Jing and Li Rong were standing outside the window of the inner study hall, watching the children read aloud the books of the sages in a clear voice. Suddenly, Li Rong laughed and said, "Looking at these children, I remembered when our family first entered the Qianqing Palace and agreed." It's a pity that our family entered the palace late and missed reading in the inner study hall, so it is not as knowledgeable as Gonggong Xiao. ”

"Why did Brother Li say this? In this palace, who doesn't know that your words are a must, even the emperor is full of praise? ”

"It's been awarded, it's been awarded...... Li Rong waved his hand with a smile, and suddenly changed his words, "The little guy who follows you these days looks very smart, what's it called...... Ahem, my last name is really useless. Seeing that he is a very clever little guy, Qianqing Palace is now lacking a promise, I don't know if Gonggong Xiao is willing to cut your love? ”

Looking at Li Rong, who relied on the old and sold the old, Xiao Jing couldn't help frowning, and then said lightly: "He hasn't learned all the rules yet, so it's not too late to stay with our family for a few more months." ”
