When he went out of the palace with Yang Yiqing, Xu Xun saw his radiant expression, and unconsciously remembered that Yang Yiqing had been talking in front of the palace for most of the hour. The geography of the mountains and rivers on the three sides of Gansu, Ningxia, and Yansui near Shaanxi is at your fingertips, from horse politics to civil affairs to military affairs to tea and horse markets, and from personnel to raising the people and then to Tuntian...... Rao is his impression of Yang Yiqing was originally excellent, and this time he improved by three points.

At this time, when he was about to arrive at Xi'an Gate, Yang Yiqing, who was walking in the car, suddenly stopped his steps, arched his hand to Xu Xun and said: "It has been my long-cherished wish for many years to be able to play as well as I can enjoy today, thanks to borrowing the light of Lord Xu." ”

"Where is Yang Dutang, if it weren't for your civil and military skills, even if this opportunity fell from the sky, it wouldn't be in vain? As for what the emperor said about being impeached, you don't have to take it to heart. If you are not impeached, you are a mediocre minister, even the elders of the cabinet and the scholars of the six ministries will be attacked from time to time, not to mention you. The emperor has always had a lot of complaints about the Imperial Procuratorate, and it may not be known that Yang Dutang was originally the left deputy capital of the imperial history, and then it will be justified. ”

Yang Yiqing has been an official for decades anyway, how could he not hear such an obvious off-string sound, and he was stunned but also excited.

Although he did not enter the Hanlin, but Ding Wei was awarded the official is a scholar of the Zhongshushe, and he has been in the central edict room for several years, but then he didn't know that he offended the old pavilion and was released, and later he was even sent to Nanjing to serve as Taichang Siqing, but after all, he was from the fourth grade to the third grade. Next, he took over the title of supervising Ma Zheng in Shaanxi, and stayed in Shaanxi for four or five years with the title of the left deputy capital imperial history, even if he wrote a lot, it seemed to be forgotten. It's normal to think about it, the hurdle between the third product and the second product is the most difficult barrier to cross in the officialdom, and how many ancestors are in the third product.

Shang Shu is the second product, and the waiter is the third product; The left and right imperial history are the second product, and the left and right deputy imperial history are all the third product. This level has to be jumped over, and even if you can't enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, at least you are in charge of a department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and you can also be in power. More than ten years of hard study, decades of ups and downs in officialdom, isn't it just to show off the ambitions in your chest?

With Yang Yiqing's city government, he naturally would not lose his temper in person, but his voice was inevitably a little dry. However, when Xi'anmen and Xu Xun said goodbye to the horse, he hesitated and hesitated, and finally said in a low voice: "The emperor favors you, Lord Xu is kind, I shouldn't have said anything hypocritical." But although the little prince was hurt this time, there must be a lot of changes in the north next, and I really can't rest assured that the three sides of Shaanxi will be relieved...... This time the Xuanfu was attacked, and someone once proposed to set up a general system of Xuanda, but in the end it was not done. The next captive Xuanda may not have a big surname, but Shaanxi is not sure. If possible, I also ask Lord Xu to advise the emperor to re-establish the trilateral system of Yansui, Ningxia and Gansu, and I am willing to pick this big beam. ”

Looking at Yang Yiqing's resolute expression, Xu Xun had mixed feelings in his heart for a while. To say that since the previous rendezvous with Yang Yiqing's army, he has been laying the groundwork, and even returned to Datong in triumph, and returned to Beijing with people all the way, introducing Zhu Houzhao to Zhu Houzhao, which is nothing more than hoping to lay a nail with enough weight in the court that those old people firmly grasp. However, Zhu Houzhao also had this intention, those big eunuchs were willing to cooperate, and Yang Yiqing was clearly moved, but he just said these words at this time.

was silent for a long time, but Xu Xun couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Yang Dutang is a good man!" ”

Yang Yiqing didn't expect Xu Xun to praise himself so highly after being silent for a long time, he couldn't help but show a little pride: "Manly man, do something and don't do something, I just don't want to give up halfway after years of hard work." Give me another year and a half, and I will definitely return the court to a solid Shaanxi! ”

"Okay, since Yang Dutang has this intention, then I will definitely try to fulfill it."

Yang Yiqing only felt that his heart, which had been not very steady, had finally come to fruition, and immediately smiled: "Thank you, Lord Xu!" ”

Since coming to the capital, Xu Xun has been accustomed to treacherous changes, but he has really made a few friends, but if he wants to say that he really has respect, Yang Yiqing has to be regarded as the first one. At this time, he couldn't help but stand still for a long time, until someone behind him called him, he turned around and recognized that it was Sun Bin, who was the master of ceremonies.

"Lord Xu."

In just over a year, Sun Bin really didn't expect that the small role that he once thought was not worth mentioning has now become a big man. Therefore, he didn't have to do it deliberately, just a 100,000-point respectful expression. After bowing meticulously, he said with a smile on his face: "Lord Xu, Gonggong Xiao is now in his private house by Shichahai, and he said that he asked the little one to lead you to meet him." ”

"Grandpa Sun came just in time, I originally wanted to go there to see if it was convenient. In that case, lead the way. ”

Stepping into Xiao Jing's private house again, when Xu Xun looked at those potted flowers and plants of one acre and three points of land, he would naturally not be as surprised as before. is really in a high position, and every detail will be broken as a mystery and carefully considered, in fact, it is just a matter of habit. It's just that after entering the house, seeing that Ruisheng, who was surprised and delighted, stepped forward quickly, and was about to kneel down and kowtow without saying a word, he immediately reached out and dragged the little guy up.

"Kowtow again, I'm about to kowtow in the palace, haven't kowtowed enough?"

"No, I follow Grandpa Xiao, and I almost don't have to kowtow to others!"

Seeing that the little guy took his joke seriously, Xu Xun didn't realize it, and casually took out something from his waist and threw it over. Seeing that Ruisheng took it in a hurry, he smiled and said: "This is the trophy of this war, it's not worth a few dollars, but I see that the handle of this knife is carved from wood, and the scabbard is also a good leather, and the handiwork is good. ”

"Give...... For me? ”

Ruisheng stammered and asked, seeing Xu Xun nodding, he immediately happily put it into his arms without saying a word, thanked the young master repeatedly, and then rushed out of the house as if he was afraid that Xu Xun would regret it. Faced with this situation, Xu Xun was a little stunned when he sent things, and only after a while did he turn to look at Xiao Jing who was reclining on the bed, and saw that the old eunuch was full of smiles, he couldn't help but laugh awkwardly: "I thought that he had been with Father-in-law Xiao for so long, and he was old, who knew that he was still so unbreathable." ”

"It's nothing, and it's not like everyone like you, one idea on the left and one idea on the right, as long as you give it a chance, you can shine." Xiao Jing said with a smile, and seeing that Xu Xun's face was as usual, he moved a brocade and sat down in front of the bed, so he said bluntly, "However, this kid is solid-eyed, our family said that he was going to resign from the palm print of the master of ceremonies, but he was good, and he actually said that he would follow to serve our old bones." Although he has never been to the inner study hall, our family's face sent him to study for two years, so that after he comes out, he can smoothly make up for a celebrant to write. ”

"I understand Father-in-law Xiao's kindness, but I sent him to the palace because his identity was exposed, and it was no longer possible to stay in Nanjing, and Father-in-law Xiao wanted him again, so I agreed, and I didn't expect him to really get to any position. Now that Gonggong Xiao is going to resign, then the surname Suo will take him by his side, his surname is in the palace, and I am worried that he will be eaten to the bones. ”

Xiao Jing has been paying attention to Xu Xun's expression, seeing that he said calmly, thinking that Ruisheng is really as Xu Xun said, he suddenly sighed, but after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said: "Although this is the case, but think about it, you are a foreign official, even if the emperor favors him, it is impossible to say that he is always by the emperor's side, this time you go out because of your dangerous moves, so it is fast, if it really takes three or five months, or even a year and a half, plus the novelty is gone, you can guarantee that the emperor has always believed in you?" It's not that our family boasts, Ruisheng is doing this in front of people close to him, and he is still stable when he is the celebrant supervisor, his surname and that one-handed ability, he doesn't go to the inner study hall, so he will put it next to the emperor to make a promise, and he will definitely recruit people to like it, and he doesn't have to waste talents with the old bones of our family. ”

Xu Xun thought that Xiao Jing's so-called heat stroke this time was to retreat, and by the way, he was also testing his reaction, but he didn't expect that this Da Jue, who had been in the palace for many years, really planned to retreat. After a moment of stunnedness, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Grandpa Xiao, I might as well tell the truth." Although Rayson and I are master and servant, I say in my heart that I treat him as a younger brother. Several fathers-in-law around the emperor have a good relationship with me, and I know best that the surname of Rayson is too risky to go to the emperor's side. ”

"What if our family wants him to go?" Xiao Jing sat up straight all of a sudden, and said word by word, "Our family is not afraid to tell you, all the teams in our family in the palace have told him word for word." As long as he arrives at the emperor's side, those people will become yours at that time. ”

"Grandpa Xiao, is this asking me to make a choice?"

Emotionally speaking, Xu Xun was naturally unwilling. When he brought Latham into the capital and gave it to Xiao Jing, it was because he had nothing at that time, everything was maintained on Xiao Jing, and Latham was shouted out, he couldn't protect him at all, in the end he was reluctant. That is, Xiao Jing really regarded Latham as a junior and taught him by his side, and he gradually felt relieved.

Intellectually, he knew that the article proposed by Xiao Jing was definitely beneficial to him. Don't look at the fact that he and Liu Jin are still fighting hotly, they are in the same boat with Zhang Yong, and they have the same interests with Gu Dayong, but when there is a conflict, who knows who will turn their faces and deny people at that time? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

Just as he was about to speak, a man suddenly rushed in from outside, but it was Latham and Watkins. He looked at Xiao Jing, then at Xu Xun, and suddenly knelt down like this.

"Young Master, Grandpa Xiao, I'll go!"
