Chapter 213: Recruiting Troops (Part II)

The Fusi Yamen in Beizhen at the corner of Jiangmi Lane and Jinyiwei Back Street is calm these days.

During the Hongzhi period, the edict was opened less, and the factory guards acted in a low-key manner, which has always been regarded as one of the major symbols of Hongzhi Zhongxing. But the silence was quiet, and the officials still mostly avoided the place. Especially in the north of the Jinyi Wei Yamen, the Taichang Temple Houjun Governor's Mansion and the General Political Envoy Division, the officials often take a few more steps to go around West Chang'an Street, and they are not willing to take this Jinyi Wei back street. On this day, Li Yifeng, who was in charge of a thousand households, stood at the door, stretched lazily, and yawned as he looked at the alley.

"It's boring, it's boring...... There is not even a single case, it is really idle and the bones are moldy! ”

"Aren't these all adults and Li Ye have always been wise, and the younger ones are too scared to move?"

Hearing such a sycophancy coming from behind, Li Yifeng suddenly smiled, and said without looking back: "It's useless for you to say good things again!" Although you are the adopted son of Father-in-law Qian, it is not so easy for this Beizhen Fusi to make up for people. Our lord's virtue, a school captain has to inspect for a year, the small flag is three or five years, Lao Tzu took sixteen years to get to the current rank, unless you don't want to be a hundred households, come in and start from the school captain, otherwise you still eat your share of Lu! ”

Standing behind Li Yifeng was a strong man of twenty-five or sixteen. He was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, but at this moment, he nodded his head and waist. He didn't take Li Yifeng's words as angry at all, but he laughed and said: "Master Li, if there is really a word from Lord Ye, what is this 100 households, and the humble position naturally means that if you give it up, you will give it up!" The 100 households of the humble post were lucky, and they only hoped to follow Lord Ye to study hard, which was much more glorious than the empty 100 households now. ”

"You kid thinks beautifully!" Li Yifeng turned around at this time, looked the strong man up and down, and suddenly clenched his right hand, and actually punched the strong man on the shoulder. Seeing that his body was just shaking slightly, and he didn't even stumble under his feet, he put down his hand and nodded slightly, "Qian Ning, your body is self-explanatory, and you also have real skills, but in this place of Beizhen Fusi, it is a detective not a fight, and what you want is cleverness rather than a body, if you really want to stay, I can go and talk to Lord Ye, but what you want to say is not necessarily what to say to the glory of the ancestors." ”

"No, no, no, if Li Ye is really willing to come forward to make peace, it will be difficult to repay your kindness even if he is a cow and a horse!"

Hearing the two of them talk like this, several lieutenants from the North Town Fusi in the courtyard exchanged heads and ears from time to time, but no one said a word. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and Li Yifeng, who had just turned around and was facing away from the door, heard a lieutenant shouting that someone was coming, he suddenly moved in his heart, turned his head to see that his eyes lit up, and he greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, I still want to know who visited our broken yamen, it turned out to be Xu Shizi, who showed his strength in Xiyuan yesterday and fought against a group of old adults! You are a noble man now, what good things do you have here to bring us? ”

Xu Xun jumped off the horse neatly, and the results of three months of hard equestrian training were undoubtedly revealed. Seeing a strong man in the door galloping up to help lead the horse, he didn't care, nodded and handed over the reins, then looked at Li Yifeng and said: "Li Qianhu, don't scold me, I'm still 108,000 miles away from the word noble!" Nothing to do is go to the Three Treasures Palace, I came to the door this time, of course, I have something to ask for! ”

At the feet of this son of heaven, all good and bad things spread quickly, so yesterday's Xiyuan words and swords had already spread, not to mention the well-informed Beizhen Fusi. Li Yifeng went to the door early in the morning to look at the door with nothing to do, in fact, because he discussed it with Ye Guang overnight, thinking if Xu Xun would go straight here at this time. At this moment, the person really came, and he didn't beat around the bush, he suddenly felt very comfortable in his heart, and his face was even more smiling.

"Okay, good, our adults really didn't misunderstand you! Come with me, my lord is in the signing room. ”

Although Li Yifeng is more than twice as old as Xu Xun, he and Xu Xun are talking and laughing all the way in, but they are as close as old friends for many years. Seeing this scene, those who followed Li Yifeng to the Xu family, or who had seen Xu Xun come once, were naturally not surprised, only Qian Ning, who had just taken the initiative to lead the horse, packed up the horse and turned back, and immediately grabbed a lieutenant and asked: "This old brother, this Xu Shizi who just entered, is it the Xing'an Boshi who was brilliant in Xiyuan yesterday, and the one who will be in charge of the avant-garde of the government army in the future?" ”

The lieutenant glanced at Qian Ning, and nodded with a smile: "Qian Baihu, you are quite well-informed!" ”

"When I hear it for a while, how can I say that I am well-informed." His guess was confirmed, and Qian Ning suddenly only felt that his heart was pounding violently, and he secretly settled down and smiled and tentatively said, "In the end, Li Ye is powerful, it is said that this Xu Shizi is a close person of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he can be so close, looking like that, could it be that he knew each other before?" ”

Although the lieutenant knew that Qian Ning was listening to the news, Beizhen Fusi had not been very beautiful in recent years, so he was also happy to show off, and said with a light snort: "Not only Master Li, Lord Ye and Xu Shizi also know each other, and they have a bit of incense fate. Therefore, it is said that if you plant melons, you will get melons, you will get beans, our adults have been in charge of the Beizhen Fusi for many years, but we have also received a lot of praise among civil officials, and there are even fewer impeachments by officials, which is because of this. ”

Ye Guang, who was called by his subordinates as a melon planter and a bean planter, also had mixed feelings in his heart after meeting Xu Xun at this time. When he went south to Jinling to deal with Zhao Qin's case, he originally had the original intention of selling a good thing to Xiao Jing, but because Xu Xun's empty gloves and white wolf plan really surprised him, and he saw that people were young and had the heart to cultivate, so he did not hesitate to give a general flag brand. Now he is most glad that after Xu Xun refused at that time, he felt that this young man should have a chance, and the waist card sent out was confiscated, so he only took a reprimand for such a big thing last time, and this time the benefits were sent to the door again!

When the two sides sat down, Li Yifeng sent the serving soap li back, and personally served tea and water with a smile. And Xu Xun also said straight to the point: "Lord Ye, when I was taken care of in Jinling, I Xu Xun has always been grateful to me. Now that I am in charge of the avant-garde of the government army, I dare to say that all the officers are recruited from the hereditary officers of the Jinyi Guard, and in the final analysis, I also believe that Lord Ye will definitely help. After all, you are now in charge of public affairs, and this list of people must be remembered in your heart. ”

Ye Guang has been immersed in silver all his life, watching the ups and downs of officials in the court, but he has always watched indifferently with the heart of a bystander. That is, in his hands, the infamous cruel criminal laws of the Jinyi Guard rarely have a chance to be used, and just intimidation and cane interrogation are enough to achieve satisfactory results. Therefore, he has no intention of seeking any more progress, but the subordinates who have been used for so many years will inevitably be born, old, sick and die, and it is impossible for him, the Beizhen Fusi, to only look at the favor to make up for the people, so more children and grandchildren of his colleagues are just eating for nothing.

"Since the prince is so straightforward, if I say that I am old and don't know anything, wouldn't I be sorry for your sincerity?"

So, Xu Xun laid out the carriage and horses, and after he laughed, the two discussed it from the high school. Ye Guang originally thought that Xu Xun would be a great joy to give him a few places, but Xu Xun actually gave him ten hundred households as soon as he opened his mouth, and Rao was his city government, and his face turned slightly red for a while.

"Don't you keep a few more sons? After all, the avant-garde of the government army in the future will inevitably be hot. ”

"To tell Lord Ye the truth, I have promised to go out of three hundred households, and there are still two hundred households left to see the situation, as for the thousand households, it will be troublesome to make a rash decision. Lord Ye wanted to come and hear about how I trained soldiers and horses in the past three months, if I came in purely by favors, I might not be able to stay. Moreover, the government army has only 2,000 people in the front guard, which is enough now, but it may not be enough in the future, and it is necessary to continue to replenish people. ”

Not to mention Ye Guang, even Li Yifeng heard the strong confidence in Xu Xun's words, the two glanced at each other, and then immediately retracted their gazes and groaned as if nothing had happened. After a long time, Ye Guangcai said: "Jinyiwei has always been a father and son, but Beizhen Fusi is the capable, so the people I used in the past have inherited hundreds of children and grandchildren in the family, and there are about one or twenty of them, all of whom are idle at home and eat a portion." Since you can afford me, I will say a word, I will recruit people, and you will pick them yourself! If you can't pick out ten people this time, I will go back to the rest and go through the military roster for you, and I will never make up the number indiscriminately. ”

"Good!"

Xu Xun is because he believes that Ye Guangren is a person, so he found this place early in the morning. Now that he heard Ye Guangfang say that he was left to choose, his heart immediately returned to his stomach, and he secretly thought that he was also a good person with good rewards. Speaking of this, it is natural to finish the business, and then the two only talk about some off-topic gossip, Xu Xun took the opportunity to ask Ye Guang again, hinting that he didn't want to see Xu Yi such an eye-catching person jumping in Beijing, Ye Guang immediately took it on his body with understanding, coupled with Li Yifeng's gag about the reaction of several old adults after returning home yesterday, it made Xu Xun and Ye Guang laugh. Pan Huan had enough to talk and laugh enough, and made an appointment to pick someone at that time, and Xu Xun got up to say goodbye.

The lieutenant in the courtyard outside had already dispersed, only Qian Ning was waiting there, and when he saw Ye Guang and Li Yifeng personally sending Xu Xun out one after the other, he immediately took a deep breath, and trotted forward as soon as he thought about it.

"Lord Shizi, are you leaving? But do you want me to lead the horse? ”

Xu Xun recognized that this was the person who led the horse for him, and was about to nod, when Li Yifeng on the side scolded angrily: "Qian Ning, you still don't leave!" I've said that I'll go back and tell you what else you want! ”

As soon as Xu Xun heard the word Qian Ning, he looked at this strong man with a big waist and a round waist, and then thought of the celebrity who claimed to be the emperor's concubine in the history books, he was stunned, and then asked with a smile: "Your name is Qian Ning?" ”
