smashed the dream of Jiao Huang Zhongjin Ke Dengdi in one fell swoop, and Xu Xun relieved his depression a little. When he learned from Huitong that Xu Zhenqing he had mentioned to Wang Shouren before was actually a conflict with Jiao Huang, he didn't feel a sense of ridicule. It's just that his impression of the four talented people in Jiangnan all comes from film and television dramas, and they have no friendship with each other, so he can't rashly come to the door to express his condolences to Xu Zhenqing for the unwarranted disaster suffered, and then use the spirit of a tyrant to subdue people, so he has to put this matter aside for the time being.

In the blink of an eye, he was discussing the military formation with Wang Shouren, and from time to time he was talking about what Western books from the Yongle period he had found in the bookstore, which had written a lot of advanced use of firearms, and on the other hand, he wanted to appease the nobles who were being complained about by Qian Ning, and at the same time support Qian Ning without saying a word. It wasn't until Liu Jin sent someone to send a message, saying that Xiao Jingming said that he would take leave and return to his private house, that he thought about how to speak in front of Xiao Jing.

Among the seven or eight eunuchs who are now in the imperial city, everyone has a mansion in the alley of the ceremonial eunuch in the east gate of Huangwa in the Bei'an Gate of the Imperial City. Only the territory within the imperial city is also considered to be an inch of land, no matter how high the rank, it is impossible to be like a foreign official who is often a big mansion with three entrances and four entrances, so anyone who has a head and a face is not an addiction to buying a house outside and living in eight seats. The private residence of Xiao Jing, the eunuch with the seal of the first celebrant and the seal, is next to the silver ingot bridge on the west side of Gulouxia Street, a vegetable field facing the sea, plus a low wall and a small courtyard, a total of only a few rooms.

Now that the spring is blooming, the vegetable field is already green, and an old farmer-like old man came out of the vegetable field, washed his muddy feet with water, took the towel handed by Ruisheng on the side, wiped his face and hands, changed into a pair of cloth shoes and entered the house. Seeing that the people sitting in the room stood up when they saw him, he smiled and said, "Our family has such a hobby, don't laugh at it." ”

Xu Xunfu came to Xiao Jing once as soon as he entered Beijing, and this time he visited again, and when he saw Xiao Jing busy working in the vegetable field, he was not as shocked as before, and he hurriedly smiled: "My father-in-law is still so happy at his age, how dare I laugh?" ”

"Haha, only you dare to say that our family is happy, others say that our family is simple and does not forget its roots, but I don't know that our family is old and sedentary with people all day long, if it is not for the fields from time to time, where can we live for a long time?" Xiao Jingshi Shiran sat down, and raised his hand to signal Xu Xun to sit too, and then said, "You are so quick to report to God, how do you know that our family is not on duty in the palace today, and you have come to this private house?" ”

"This is really not my ear report, but it just so happened that someone in the East Palace knew that my father-in-law was taking turns to rest today, so I came here."

Xiao Jing looked at Xu Xun with blazing eyes, and when he saw that he was fine, he couldn't help but say: "Okay, you kid, there is only one word for Donggong, I don't think our family can find out, right?" That's it, if you want to come to Latham and Watkins to follow our family all the time, and you can't help others to report to you, our family is too lazy to get to the bottom of it. No matter what you want to say, listen to our family first, don't take too big a step, although the storm of impeaching you for instigating the prince to skip school has passed, but these days there are still people who accuse the avant-garde of the government army of being the words of the British Temple, and now it should not be broken. All in all, you were in the limelight during that military training, and then you and the crown prince Wang Shouren squeezed so many bigwigs, the edge was too exposed, so it was better to be more restrained. ”

"Thank you Gonggong Xiao for reminding me, the kid never likes to cause trouble, and others want to mess with me, this is not something that the kid can stop by just reining in." Seeing Xiao Jing's brows, he said calmly, "When the kid entered Beijing, Gonggong Xiao reminded him like this, and the kid had already learned what it meant to add to the crime. Besides, those voices said that they were coming at me, but in fact they were Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, which was intended for Pei Gong, and Xiao Gonggong must know it well. ”

Thinking of this kid who dared to fan the flames when Nanjing was cold, there was an uproar, and now there is a prince behind him, he really wants to do something, he can't suppress it even if he is the palm print of the celebrant supervisor, Xiao Jing was dumbfounded for a while, and had to sink his face and said: "Xu Xun, the emperor just took off the crown and Wu Rui in this matter, and Ma Wensheng also beat those two people who made people feel that he was still satisfied with his treasure knife before he was old, could it be that you still plan to pursue it?" ”

"Naturally, the kid doesn't dare." Seeing that Xiao Jing's face was a little pale, he said sincerely, "It's just that the kid has to say a word." Although the kid said that he met the prince by chance, so that he could have today, but without his father-in-law talking repeatedly in front of the emperor and His Royal Highness the prince, who would have heard me such a name? Therefore, others are of course intent on Ma Shangshu, but what if those bullets really make the kid unrecoverable? Moreover, the charge of instigating the prince is not something I can afford to bear alone. At that time, if others chased and beat him, it would also be a huge damage to his father-in-law. ”

Xiao Jing has experienced ups and downs in his life for half of his life, and he naturally knows this, just listening to Xu Xun say this, he still churns in his heart. Of course, he has paved countless roads for this kid, but these roads are for people to walk by themselves after all, and Xu Xun can now leave such an impression on the emperor and the crown prince, all because of his own heart and surname. After pondering for a long time, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then raised his head and asked, "Then what do you want?" ”

"Not really." Xu Xun paused, and then said word by word, "Father-in-law Xiao, Father-in-law Li is old." ”

Xu Xun came out with such a sentence without a head or brain, but Xiao Jing understood it at once. If it was in the past, he would have reprimanded Xu Xun for many things without saying a word, but now Li Rong is always in front of the imperial general overview of the chapter, and he also relies on the old and sells the old in the celebrant supervisor, plus when the lawsuits in front of the emperor were hot, Li Rong's small actions were also unaware of him, and he had to think about it.

Old and immortal, it is called a thief!

"The people from the East Palace sent you a message saying that our family took leave and went back to the private house, just to make you ask such a sentence?"

"Of course not." Xu Xun remembered Liu Jin's monkey urgency, so he said with a smile, "Who of those people in the East Palace is so bold that they dare to ask about Gonggong Li?" The people over there wanted to ask if this west factory could be opened justifiably. ”

If Liu Jin knew that Xu Xun would ask such a fatal question so straightforwardly, he would inevitably beat his chest and scold this kid for not succeeding enough and failing to do anything, how could he ask such a question. But Xiao Jing suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Our family knows that those little monkeys can't bear the surname!" Maybe you go back and tell them that the emperor doesn't want to point his nose at those old ladies and scold mediocrity, so if the emperor is in the first place, he won't open any West Factory in the name of justice. They don't even think about fame, we can think of a way to ask for money and food. ”

"Then I'll thank Grandpa Xiao on behalf of them!"

Xu Xun didn't mean to persuade Xiao Jing for a few more words for Liu Jin. In his opinion, it is the East Factory and the Jinyi Guard, the secret service of the Ming Dynasty is already the strongest in history, and the West Factory is really a repetitive setting - however, the eunuchs in the East Palace can make Zhu Houzhao feel excited, he doesn't need to raise any objections and conflict with people, if he really wants the West Factory to be set up, what he should consider is how to stuff Huitong into it is serious.

And Xiao Jing was also very satisfied with Xu Xun's knowledge. Therefore, compared to the West Factory, which is still a little short of opening the West Factory, after he sent Xu Xun away, he considered more of Xu Xun's proposal. Although he is not in charge of the East Factory, he can still guess the reason why Ma Wensheng, an old horse, almost lost his front hoof. In those days, the few people around Li Rong ran out all day long, really thinking he was blind? Thought that if you win over Wang Yue and mix with Jiao Fang, you can move him?

"Father-in-law, father-in-law!"

Xiao Jing didn't know how long he had been thinking about it, but when he heard Rayson Watson's voice, he raised his head, and when he saw the little guy coming forward to salute respectfully, he smiled gently: "Why, it's rare for me to steal a floating life, and this guest will dial it up?" ”

Ruisheng didn't hear the ridicule in Xiao Jing's words, so he only bowed down honestly and said, "Outside, there is Gonggong Zhang of the social supervisor, and Judge Liu of the Tai Hospital." ”

"They don't compile their Materia Medica, why do they come to bother me?" Xiao Jing frowned for a while, but after a moment of silence, he still bowed his head slightly, "Okay, it's all here, you can't drive it away, let them come in." ”

Rayson agreed to go out, and after a while, he brought two people in. In front of him was an old eunuch who wore a forked hat sixty miles away, and wore a round-necked shirt decorated with a lion parrot on a red post. This old eunuch has always been mean and serious, and when he laughed at this moment, he immediately revealed a fake that could not be concealed, it was Zhang Yu, the eunuch of the social eunuch.

Although the old man in the back looks older than Zhang Yu, because of his fortune and round face, he looks like a kind surname, which is Liu Wentai, who was sentenced by the Tai Hospital. At this moment, after the two of them stepped forward to salute Xiao Jing, Zhang Yu said: "I have long heard that Grandpa Xiao's place is quiet and elegant, and now I see it and it really deserves its reputation. This vegetable field, three or five pots of bluegrass, plus this tile fence, is actually a bit of a rural taste. ”

"It's just vassal elegance." Xiao Jing smiled, and when he saw Liu Wentai holding a pot of things in his hand, he said casually, "What, what good things did you two bring to me?" ”

"This is the "Materia Medica" that was just compiled by the Tai Hospital before, and there are three prescriptions written by the emperor himself, this is the first book that has just been printed, and I want to ask Gonggong Xiao to see if there is a fallacy." Liu Wentai smiled and handed over the package with both hands, seeing that Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment, then he took it, his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "If Gonggong Xiao can still see it after reading it, Gonggong Zhang and the lower officials plan to submit this book to the imperial front, and then distribute it to the people after it is printed." ”

"Well, let's stay for now."

Xiao Jing put the package next to him, and seeing that the two of them were happy, he suddenly stretched out his hand lightly and flicked the things in it, and then said: "The emperor has good medicine, and he used to give medicine to his subjects with his own hands. ”

"Thank you Grandpa Xiao for his good words, thank you for his good words!"
