"British Public!"

"Dingguo Gong has arrived!"

"Lord Shang Shulin of the Ministry of Officials has arrived!"

"Lord Zhang of the Left Capital Imperial History has arrived!"

"Master Shangshu Tu of the Criminal Department has arrived!"

Although Jin Liu is not in charge of the door, it is undeniable that whenever there is a big event in the family, he often takes care of all the errands on the door, and there is no exception at this moment. Every once in a while, he shouted out the names of the thunderous ears, and seeing the characters who were calling for wind and rain in the court, they all went to his door with a smile on their faces, and he had a kind of pride and honor. It was easy for these big guys to come to an end for the time being, he wiped his sweat and took the teapot handed by a small servant and took two sips, and then breathed a comfortable breath.

This is the day of the master, fortunately, he didn't listen to his mother-in-law's stupid idea and resigned from the Xu family, otherwise how could there be the current scenery? Those big names don't mention it for the time being, who doesn't call him a Jin manager or even Jin Liuye? and his son Jin Hong, who was so lucky that he made Zhang Fuhua, the imperial historian of the Zuodu, famous, and that Tang Jieyuan was also interested in enlightening people in person!

He was thinking about it, when he suddenly saw a car turn into the alley, and then stopped in front of the door, and a figure he was familiar with and could no longer be familiar came down, and immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Lord Zhang, the servant of the ministry, has arrived!" ”

Although Zhang Cai is now a waiter, Lin Han is not too young, as soon as he arrives at the ministry, the ministry affairs and so on are gradually handed over to his hands, especially the most skillful work of the Wenxuan Division that he did in the past, so. He was actually two quarters of an hour later than Lin Han. After getting out of the car, he looked back at the many cars and horses parked along the wall, and asked thoughtfully, "How many congratulatory guests have come today?" ”

"Large and small civil and military together, at least thirty or forty." Jin Liu knew that Zhang Cai was the most diligent civil official in his own house, and he was deeply trusted by the young master. Therefore, there are no polite and perfunctory words in speech. He wiped a handful of sweat, whispered to Zhang Cai that he had already come with his fingers, and after taking the initiative to explain who was receiving them, he saw Zhang Cai raise his eyebrows.

"Kang Xiangshan, those people are the earliest?" Zhang Cai got Jin Liu's affirmative answer, and he laughed, "It must be that they are in the literary meeting, and they simply came together after learning the news." In this way, it is inevitable that adults will have to accept those who come to see them today. Master Lin and Master Zhang, Master Tu, these will be handed over to me, and then ......"

As soon as the words fell, Jin Liu saw the mottled and painted carriage outside, and looked at the people above and down, and he didn't care about explaining to Zhang Cai. Immediately, he shouted loudly: "Xie Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites has arrived, and Wang Gongzi ......has arrived, and he thought that it must be such a pair of teachers and students, but when he saw that Wang Shikun was not Xie Duo, but two Confucian students with somewhat familiar faces, he couldn't help but be stunned for a while. When he saw the two of them helping Xie Duo down, he breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly thought that he had finally not reported the wrong name.

However, it was Zhang Cai who moved faster than him. Zhang Cai took three steps and two steps to catch up. personally supported Xie Duo, who was famous all over the world, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect Xie Weng to come too." ”

"The last time Sejeong was knighted. I once came to say goodbye, but I didn't come this time? It's only been two years. He was crowned a marquis in one fell swoop, and sure enough, the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and the future is limitless! Xie Duo said with a smile, then looked left and right and said, "I met Yuan Ming and Weizhong on the way, and I came over together!" ”

Although Zhan Ruoshui and Yan Song were not frequent visitors to the Xu Mansion, Zhang Cai, who was very good at not forgetting his sex, naturally would not forget it, and immediately replied to the greetings of the two with a smile, and after ordering Jin Liu to send someone in to report it, he had to help Xie Duo all the way inside. Sure enough, before he reached the Yimen, he saw Xu Xun personally greet him, followed by Lin Han, Tuxun and Zhang Fuhua. ..., the four of the seven Qings who looked up and didn't look down in the court in the past gathered at the Xu family today, except for Tu Xun's unnatural expression, the other three were old acquaintances and old friends, and after the greetings, they talked and laughed. Xie Duo saw Xu Xun smiling and supporting himself, so he shook his head and said: "Don't think that the old man is old and can't walk, I'm not old, at least I can see the day when Qiankun returns to Qingming!" Speaking of which, Zhang Demao and I have been in charge of the Southern Prison one after the other, whether it is a personal relationship, I have always believed in his vision, and sure enough, what he recommended to me at the beginning was not only a talent, but a hero! ”

Xu Xun knew that people loved nostalgia, so he just smiled next to him and didn't say anything humble. Sure enough, Lin Han, who has always loved pouring cold water, said with a straight face: "It's still a little short of Yingjie, if it is the day when Brother Xie says that Qiankun will return to Qingming, these two words will be confirmed!" ”

Hearing that these people hoped that he would cut Liu Jin off the horse immediately, Xu Xun was unwilling to answer the stubble like this, and seeing that Kang Hai was in a hurry to gesture to him, he smiled at Zhang Cai and said: "Xilu, I have handed over a few old men to you." I don't know what to make if I'm anxious about the mountain, so I'll go over and take a look! ”

When everyone heard the prestige, they saw that although Kang Hai immediately made a respectful appearance, the hand that had just gestured had not had time to be withdrawn, and they all couldn't help but laugh. When Xu Xun walked over there after giving a salute, Lin Han said thoughtfully: "I remember that Kang Hai and Li Mengyang had a bad relationship, and they once begged Yuanfu for Li Mengyang's matter, but then they seemed to be turned away?" ”

&

nbsp; "Although Li Mengyang's son is strong, he is too arrogant and doesn't know how to be flexible, and the other six of their association poetry club are here today." Zhang Cai explained with a smile, but when he saw Zhan Ruoshui standing behind thoughtfully, he didn't want to continue to dwell on this topic, so as not to lead to Wang Shouren, who had been driven out of the capital by the little emperor, and after seeing a few bigwigs nodding, he didn't say more, and he had to accompany everyone to the main hall.

And Xu Xun came to Kang Hai, and saw that this former champion of talent was full of anxiety, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What makes Shan Ling so anxious?" When the first few of them first arrived, they were fine. ”

"Lord Hou entered the seal this time, and many officials of the younger generation in the DPRK and China admired your demeanor. Five or six companions came one after another to congratulate them. Kang Hai paused as he spoke, then lowered his voice and said, "One of them is a scholar in the cabinet, and he said that the will of the Hou Ye to enter the seal today was not made overnight. It's that Motosuke has prepared it a long time ago, and they just use seals. And...... He happened to be familiar with the handwriting, and said that it looked like the handwriting of Yang Tinghe, a young Zhan Shi and a scholar of Zuo Chunfang University. ”

Yang Ting and this person Xu Xun had heard it many times in Zhu Houzhao's mouth, and he also vaguely remembered that it was the main exam of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi's examination, and he secretly attacked the one in Jiao Huang, which is said to be Yang Tinghe's intention to dethrone Jiao Huangzhong. However, he was more impressed by this man. However, in the later period of the Zhengde Dynasty in history, he dominated the dynasty, and even after the Zhengde Emperor died in vain, he strongly welcomed the Jiajing Emperor, but in the end, he was completely defeated in the battle of ceremonies.

In the early stage, he was meticulous, feminine, shrewd and tolerant, but in the later stage, he thought he misjudged the situation and even lost the whole game with a wrong calculation. This is not surprising either. Few ministers could perfectly adapt to two emperors with completely different personalities, and it was the same for him.

Therefore, he pondered for a moment and then asked, "So, do you think that Yang Tinghe's edict written earlier was placed in the cabinet?" ”

If this matter is investigated, not only Yang Tinghe will have to eat and hang. Li Dongyang can't please either. However, Xu Xun did not plan to fight Li Dongyang of the neutral faction, so after receiving Kang Hai's affirmative reply, he smiled slightly: "It seems. Our Lord Motosuke would like to see one more person added to the cabinet. Kang Hai was ridiculed by Li Dongyang because of his poems, and he had failed to ask for help because of Li Mengyang's affairs. He has always maintained deep dissatisfaction and vigilance against Li Dongyang, the first assistant of the cabinet, so he has been reminded like this. However. At this moment, Xu Xun came to such a conclusion after groaning, but he was surprised for a while. After a while, he spoke: "Master Hou, this thing can't be done by Yuan Fu if he wants to, right?" The matter of entering the cabinet must not only be the heart of the king, but also the public discussion of the court. When the first emperor died, Yang Tinghe was still a scholar of Zuochunfang University and a bachelor of Hanlin Academy. After the emperor ascended the throne, he was promoted to Shao Zhan, and this is only a four-grade ......"

"You just said that you not only want the heart of the king, but also the court to discuss it, so you said, which one is missing from Yang Ting?"

Kang Hai was dumbfounded for a moment. Yang Tinghe served as an official of the Eastern Palace for many years, and it is said that his lectures and readings were the little emperor's favorite to listen. As for the public discussion of the imperial court, Yang Tinghe is dignified, calm and steady, and the article is a temporary choice, not to mention the strict family style, there are several Jinshi in the family, and this alone is enough to make the court stroke review biased in favor of him. He racked his brains and thought for a while, and finally said with some strong words: "But Yang Ting and the original palace can't try the top three." ”

Seeing Xu Xun smiling and silent, he thought that Xu Xun was laughing at him for looking down on the top three fellow jinshi, but subconsciously, he was indeed a little embarrassed and unconvinced. However, before he could think of an explanation, he heard Xu Xun say: "Don't worry too much about this kind of thing, it's also Gonggong Liu's business to worry about." If there are more fourth people in the cabinet who are not on good terms with him, three against one, Jiao Fang will not have any advantage. ”

What's more, he already had a clever plan to drag Li Dongyang into the water!

Since he said this, Kang Hai remembered all the gossip he had heard when he met friends in Yiwen on weekdays, and couldn't help but ask: "Now that among the six departments of the Imperial Procuratorate, Hou Ye has four out of seven, why don't you try to elect a highly respected person to join the cabinet?" ”

"Tu Shangshu aside, how old are Lin Shangshu and the others?" Seeing that Kang Hai was dumbfounded, Xu Xun said with a smile, "It's not easy for me to invite these old and strong people out of the mountain, so it's just right for them to take charge of one." It would be very unkind to push people into the cabinet and subserviate them, and still have to fight with people. By the way, if you are not so happy with Yuan Fu using Yang Tinghe, then help me do something. Lin Junding, the former right-hand capital of Nanjing, should be almost full, and he worked hard to let people push him back to the court. As soon as Zhang Xilu went to the ministry, Zhang Duxian was weak on the side of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Lin is only in his early fifties, and he is in his prime, so if he enters the cabinet, it is the best choice. ”

Xu Xun really wants to kill all the four gentlemen of Nandu?

After Kang Hai flashed such a thought, he bowed to the ground and responded: "Okay, Master Hou will wait for my good news!" ”

"After that, you don't have to plan right now. The six of them are also famous, and today's old men Zhang Xilu followed, and those younger generations took care of them, don't let people think that I don't care about them, there are still people coming over later, I can't take care of it. As soon as Xu Xun thought that Gu Dayong and Zhang Yong, who would never miss the door to congratulate him, and even Liu Jin, who might even come to join in the fun, he clenched his fists lightly, and finally said with a smile, "All in all, there is a lot of excitement tonight!" ”

As Xu Xun said, the scene of guests coming in droves lasted until the sun set. Among them, there are generals like Jingyang Bo Shenying who came one step later and Ma Qiao, the avant-garde commander of the government army, as well as factory guards like Li Yifeng and Zhong Hui, Zhang Zong said that there are nobles like Qi Jiliang and Xu Yanche, and there are six or seven Jishi like Yan Song, not to mention many young officials with low official positions and depressed aspirations. So, the thirty tables that Xu Liang asked people to order were not only not more, but not even enough, and finally simply looked at the good weather and set up eight tables in the courtyard, which barely allowed so many guests. ..., there are naturally congratulatory gifts, however, Xu Xun let people put down their words on the door early, and only accept small gifts, such as what kind of colorful snacks and seasonal fresh fruits and their own calligraphy and paintings, all of them are accepted, and the rest of the antique jewelry and the like are all declined. And those who came to congratulate their husbands when they were not in the capital, Shen Yue and Mrs. Jianninghou, who helped, greeted them behind, and the number of people who reported was twenty or thirty, including Yang Yiqing's wife Duan.

In contrast, although Jiang Bin, who helped greet the guests today, didn't even have time to drink half a mouthful of water, he rushed forward and ushered in the send-off, and with his incorruptible tongue, he got in touch with Shenying and Ma Qiao, Xu Xun's most trusted military attachés, and even showed his face in front of the two factory guard leaders, and when everyone was accepted into the table, he had the strength to retreat to the side and drink a sip of water to moisten his throat, but then he politely refused the invitation of the little guy to invite him to the table, and went straight to the Yimen to find Xu Xun.

Only when he saw Xu Xun standing with his back hand behind his back from a distance, he heard the voice of the announcement from outside: "Lord Qian of the Admiral Inner Factory has arrived!" ”

After returning to Beijing, Jiang Bin cheekily stayed in Xu Mansion for several days, of course, he remembered that Qian Ning only visited the door once, and then never came again. Even if the bigwigs who came today were the first time he saw them, but people like Zhang Cai often heard that they ran here, so knowing that Qian Ning was now gaining momentum in the inner factory, and he was not as close as Xu Xun was before, he had a plan in his heart, and he hurriedly walked two steps to catch up at this time.

As soon as he arrived at the front, he saw Qian Ning bowing respectfully and deeply, but was helped up by Xu Xun. Just a few steps away from Xu Xun, he clearly saw that Qian Ning quickly raised his head and glanced at Xu Xun's face, and then lowered his head. (To be continued.)
