"Master Hou forgives the sin, it's too late for the humble position!"

Qian Ning naturally knew that Xu Xun and the others were not here to greet him, so after he was sincerely afraid of making amends, he hurriedly explained: "It's true that as soon as I returned to the Yamen today, all kinds of things piled up again and again. Moreover, Gonggong Liu summoned the lowly post again, saying that if Dongchang casually sent someone to take charge of it, I was afraid that it would be a mess in a short time, so let the lowly post take care of it for a few days, and wait until he found the right person......"

Hearing Qian Ning explain why he was late, Xu Xun suddenly smiled slightly. And Jiang Bin, who was not far behind him, chuckled in his heart.

Factory Guard, Factory Guard, Jinyi Guard has always been in charge of the military minister, and the insider factory East Factory has always been in charge of the minister. However, when today's son does things as he wants, he never puts the old rules in his eyes, so there is a minister of Qian Ning to supervise the inner factory, and if the east factory is also caught in his hands this time, then Qian Ning's strength will suddenly surpass the Jinyi Guard, which is getting worse now, and it should be regarded as a role that can also walk sideways in the capital!

"Oh, it turns out that Gonggong Liu asked you to temporarily take charge of the East Factory." Xu Xun nodded slightly, but didn't continue to ask, just said flatly, "Uncle Jingyang and your former colleagues and subordinates have already come, and they were still talking about you just now, you might as well go in and talk to everyone." You know, you're the proudest of them all right now. ”

"How can you have such great ability in a humble position, it is all due to good chance, as well as the cultivation of the Hou Ye."

Qian Ning took a bite and a marquis, but seeing that Xu Xun's smile didn't show any clues, he was not really standing at the Yimen with such a dead face, so he said a few words of greeting without words, and then he bowed his hand in. When he passed by Jiang Bin's side, he didn't notice this middle-aged man in civilian clothes at all, and he lowered his head to think about the words that Liu Jin had ordered before.

"Channing, you've been admiring the inner factory since you were the commander. It's a lot of hard work, and this time I was able to find out Qiu Ju's plan, thanks to your reminder. This person in our family has always been rewarded for meritorious service, and he will be punished if he has done so. Now there is a mess in the East Factory, and there are many little guys under our hands who are ready to take a fancy to that position. But we don't want to use a brainless person casually, so you can take care of the mess in the East Factory. I believe you are a smart person, and you will never disappoint our family, right? ”

Qian Ning painstakingly searched for Qiu Ju's bad deeds, as well as the criticism and accusations against Liu Jin behind his back, and finally overturned Qiu Ju in one fell swoop. However. He only wanted to make himself one less opponent, but he didn't expect that he would be able to take over the huge mess of the East Factory. Whether it is an insider factory or a west factory, all of them have a thin foundation, where can they compare with the strong foundation of the East Factory, which has a history of nearly 100 years?

He did rely on Xu Xun to climb up, but the avant-garde commander of the government army seems to be beautiful, and he often appears in front of the Son of Heaven, but it is difficult to say that he has any real power. If it weren't for Liu Jin. How can he be in charge of such a beautiful second factory? It's just that Liu Jin was deflated in front of the Son of Heaven today, and after the little emperor went back, he immediately instructed the cabinet to immediately draft a decree for Xu Xun to enter the knighthood. Could this be a sign of trade-offs? It's too risky to take a side in a hurry, and if you can, it's best to get around......

Jiang Bin looked at Qian Ning's back walking in, and after a while, he continued to take two steps forward, saluted to Xu Xun's side and said: "Master Hou, everyone inside is settled on the table, Master Xu and a few of them are greeting people, and General Cao is here, and he has nothing to do with his own business, so he came out to see what else Master Hou has to order." ”

"You've seen everyone?" Xu Xun did not answer Jiang Bin's words. Instead, he asked rhetorically. Seeing Jiang Bin nodded, he asked with a smile, "Then what do you think, what about these people?" ”

Jiang Bin was thinking about Qian Ning just now, and he couldn't help but be stunned when Xu Xun suddenly asked him this. Then I thought about it quickly. After a while, he cautiously replied: "Uncle Jingyang is steady and hearty, but sometimes he will show a violent temper, and the same is true for the use of soldiers. Commander Ma seems to be quite meticulous, and he is only training the avant-garde of the government army, so he should be a person who is not leaky. General Xiao Xu and General Xiao Qi are both from noble backgrounds, although they have never really experienced the battle formation, but they are very easy-going among their colleagues and subordinates in the army, and they do not have the arrogance of the sons of nobles......"

…,

"Okay, okay, I'll just ask you what your first impression was, but you've come here so much!" Xu Xun smiled and waved his hand, and then said with a smile, "However, seeing the subtle knowledge, you are very attentive." ”

Even immortals can't see so many things at first glance, and even Shenying's combat style can be seen, so the answer is very simple, Jiang Bin is afraid that he has already found out clearly before he sees these people! Xu Xun saw that Jiang Bin was in a hurry and humble, and immediately turned around and looked up at the gradually darkening sky, secretly thinking that he was not afraid of people's intentions, but only afraid of people's intentions. What's more, Liu Jin's previous actions are afraid that they have already made Qian Ning very moved. As long as you save the right and left sources, the usefulness is already very limited.

So, without looking back, he said, "Since everything has been arranged, and I have nothing to tell you, you can stand here with me for a while, and when it is the beginning of the day, let the banquet be held inside!" ”

Jiang Bin knew that Xu Xun was standing at the door with a full house of guests, of course, it would not be just waiting for those few Da Jue, and it was very likely that the little emperor who trusted Xu Xun so much would also come over in person. So, of course, it was a blessing for him to be allowed to wait here, and he agreed at the moment.

It was a summer day, and as the sun went down, the heat of the day gradually receded, but the wind still carried a little dry heat, and people stood there for a while and sweated again. Xu Xun caught a glimpse of Jiang Bin's oily forehead, but he didn't raise his hand to wipe it, his eyes were only staring out, and he couldn't help but smile. The next moment, he saw a figure rushing around the corner in three steps and two steps.

"Young master, young master, imperial ......" Jin Liu saw that there was still a Jiang Bin beside Xu Xun, and his words twisted stiffly, "Father-in-law Gu and Father-in-law Zhang, they are all here!" ”

Xu Xun saw Jiang Bin's face change suddenly, and knew that although Jin Liu's head turned quickly, he was still noticed. However, when he allowed Jiang Bin to accompany him here today, his attitude was already very clear, and when he smiled at Jin Liu, "Jiang Bin is not an outsider. No need to be vague. But they even brought the emperor? ”

Seeing that Jin Liu hesitated for a moment and nodded, Xu Xun bowed slightly at Jiang Bin, and then raised his hand to Jin Liu to signal him to lead the way. However, he only saw the large wall of light in front of him from a distance. I saw a few people surrounding one of the young men walking this way, and as soon as he looked at him, the young man arched his hand with a smile and said, "Oh, congratulations to the Hou Ye, congratulations to the Hou Ye!" ”

As soon as Jiang Bin saw the posture of the stars and the moon, he guessed that it must be Zhu Houzhao, but he was thinking about how to salute. Xu Xun's movements barely made him stare out.

"Joy and joy are all thanks to you!" Xu Xun also gave his hand, and squeezed his eyes at Zhu Houzhao with a spring breeze, seeing that the little emperor was really not angry, but very happy, he just nodded at the eunuchs next to Zhu Houzhao one by one, and saw that Qiu Ju, who had been driven out of the capital in addition to Liu Jin and Gao Feng, who was seriously ill. Gu Da used Zhang Yong, Wei Bin, Ma Yongcheng, Luo Xiang, and the remaining five tigers were all available, and Miao Kui also followed, so he smiled and said, "Oops." I didn't expect that there were so many people at noon, and there was only Lao Liu missing this night. ”

"Who said I was missing?"

Jiang Binzheng was surprised that Zhu Houzhao, a young man of heaven, was so unruly, so he heard such an abrupt sentence, and when he looked up, he saw an old man with a white face and beard in his fifties behind everyone walking over quickly with the hem of his robe, his face was covered with sweat, as if he was in a hurry. Because he saw that other people were smiling and calling Lao Liu Budie, and a young eunuch next to the little emperor was laughing at Gonggong Liu, he immediately realized.

This is the powerful celebrant eunuch Liu Jin!

…,

Liu Jin was deflated during the day, and in an instant, the little emperor asked the cabinet to propose to promote Lord Xu. He had already smelled a dangerous breath, and he had to keep an eye on Zhu Houzhao, and sure enough, after evening, he learned that the little emperor had called Gu Dayong and others out of the palace, and he immediately rushed over.

At this moment, he first smiled and saluted Zhu Houzhao, as if he didn't see the little emperor's somewhat strange eyes. He said to Xu Xun with a smile: "Brother Xu, such a young marquis, but the first share of our Ming Dynasty is for this, and I have to prepare a big gift for you." Come, all come! ”

With Liu Jin's command, there was a burst of warblers behind him. However, Liu Jin didn't seem to see the surprised eyes of everyone when they saw twenty or thirty male and female actors dressed in costumes come forward to salute, and said with a smile: "Of course I know, your brother Xu is not a womanizer, these are all a troupe that others gave me before, I am not good at this mouthful, and it is useless to keep it, so I will borrow flowers and offer Buddha to you." After all, I heard that your idle garden is going to rehearse a new play, so there must be a place for them. If you don't like it again, you might as well go back to the pride you had last time in Ningxia and reward the soldiers. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Houzhao was immediately happy, and immediately nodded and said: "This gift is ingenious, I will send this troupe to Xianyuan, I will wait for the "Peony Pavilion" to wait until the flowers are also grateful, and there will be more small plays to rehearse and perform quickly!" After saying this, he fanned his sleeve slightly, and then frowned and said, "You can't just stand here and talk all the time, right?" Xu Xun, you won't keep me out just because there are so many guests today? ”

Hearing this, Liu Jin immediately looked at Xu Xun. If Xu Xun brought Zhu Houzhao in such a big way, those military generals who were close to him would be enough, but the civil officials would have countless insolence to blame him secretly; And if he doesn't bring people in, Zhu Houzhao will inevitably be unhappy. However, to his disappointment, Xu Xun didn't even blink his eyes.

"The emperor is the most distinguished guest, how dare the minister keep you out? To tell you the truth, the courtyard outside the main hall is also full of banquets today, and it is inconvenient for people to talk there, so the minister has set up a separate table in the next hall at the back of the main hall. You can hear the movement in front of you, but you can't hear the movement in front of you, it's elegant and quiet. If the emperor wants to find someone to be lively and lively, the ministers will let Xu Yanche and a few of them come out to accompany him later. If the emperor just wants to see the precious daughter of the minister, then he might as well be quiet. ”

"Well, it's in the next room...... Well, don't inform anyone, I'll be the one who listens to the corner! ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded with interest, and Xu Xun smiled and beckoned Jiang Bin over, because he said, "You take the emperor to go around from behind, don't let people see it." Today, I, the main master, can't leave the guests behind, and you can take care of the emperor. ”

Faced with the pie falling from the sky, Jiang Bin felt a little dizzy in his head, and was about to agree. He didn't expect a figure to suddenly take a step forward diagonally, and it actually appeared in front of him. Seeing that it was Zhu Houzhao himself, he was at a loss for a while, and he clearly knew that he should salute. But his feet were so stiff that he couldn't make any movements, and in the end, he actually made Xu Xun arch his hand and said, "I've seen Zhu Gongzi." ”

"Haha, wonderful, wonderful, you're good!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded again and again with satisfaction, then tilted his head and glanced at Xu Xun and said, "Who is this wonderful person?" ”

"The emperor promoted him to be the commander of the capital. How did you forget who he was? Xu Xun smiled slightly, and when he saw Zhu Houzhao, he immediately racked his brains and began to recall, but he didn't remind him, so he just stood next to him so well. Sure enough, after a while, the little emperor slapped his hands vigorously and said, "I remembered, isn't that Datong guerrilla general Jiang ...... Jiang Bin? ”

…,

At this moment. Jiang Bin only felt grateful. There are nine sides in the world, and there are hundreds of border towns in each border town, from the general army deputy general to the guerrilla general, and it is definitely an honor to be able to let the Son of Heaven remember his name. It is enough to prove that he rushed over from Datong Road, and then followed Xu Xun all the way to fight prisoners and quell the rebellion, all of which were worth it. So, he took a deep breath and bowed to the ground and said, "The lowly position is Jiang Bin." ”

"Okay, okay, that's you, you accompany me in and tell me about the new and fun things outside!"

As Jiang Bin respectfully led the little emperor's group in, seeing that Liu Jin was following him closely, Xu Xun couldn't help but smile slightly. secretly thought that Liu Jin was really shocked by the trip at noon today, for fear that he would be blown by someone next to the emperor's ear, so he lost his holy family. Looking at the back, his eyes gradually turned cold.

Since I led people to patrol the border outside, you actually let Wang Ning's kind of goods who have not achieved enough things and more than enough to stab me in the back, and there are constant small actions in the capital. Then don't blame me for being rude!

Although he had served snacks and tea twice before, when Xu Xun returned to the table, Xu Liang still inevitably stepped forward and whispered a few words of reproach, and when he learned that it was Zhu Houzhao who came in person, his face showed a little discoloration. Thinking that the little emperor was always doing his own thing, even though he knew that his son was deeply trusted, he still couldn't help but whisper: "There are many guests today, but don't let others know." Otherwise, if you don't talk about others, Lord Lin and them will inevitably react a lot. ”

"Dad, don't worry, I know."

Xu Xun bowed slightly, and waited until the various dishes below were delivered like water, he went to the main table and sat down, even though he poured himself a full cup of Chinese wine, left the table with a smile, walked to the center near the door of the main hall, and said loudly: "I am really honored to be happy to enter the knighthood today, and I am really honored to come from afar to congratulate you." I'm not going to say anything like a little hard work but a special favor, but I just want to say a word to you. ”

"Today's marquis, the bento is my brick and jade, the emperor buys horse bones, I hope that from now on, there will be many talents in the world, all of them can show their ambitions, and let all countries see my outstanding people!"

Such humble words were not only pleasantly heard by the old people, but also by the young officials, who for a while echoed loudly and applauded, and some whispered and nodded secretly. However, just as Xu Xun was about to drink a glass of Chinese wine, he suddenly heard a voice from the courtyard outside.

"Slow!"

At the sound of this voice, a young scholar suddenly got up from a table of wine in the courtyard outside, and then strode towards the main hall with a blank face, and when he reached the door, he rolled his robe and entered the hall. Seeing that all the eyes of the hall were focused on himself, he arched his hand with his head held high, and then said loudly: "Hou Ye just said that I wish the world to have many talents, all of them show their ambitions, and let all countries see my Ming Dynasty's outstanding people, this is of course good, but why didn't Hou Ye say, I wish my Ming Dynasty officials to rule Qingming, and the officials in the world are all loving the people like sons, and no one will harm the loyal and good, and the people?" ”

Although most of the people who came to the banquet today were civil and military officials of Xu Xun's family, but among them, such as Lin Han and others, were the backbone of the Qingliu back then, and they hated fame and reputation the most, and they liked this kind of honest people who dared to speak out. And although Xu Xun, who was the master, didn't recognize this person, he only frowned slightly and asked: "What does the honorable driver mean is that someone is now cruel to Zhongliang and the people?" ”

At this moment, Liu Jin's face in the next room at the back was blue, and he couldn't wait to rush out like this and accuse people of talking nonsense. However, he knew that if he appeared like this, it would be three hundred taels of silver here, coupled with Zhu Houzhao's concentration on the table with one hand, he could only endure it no matter how angry he was, and after lowering his head, his eyes couldn't help but flash a little fierce light.

Xu Xun, could it be that you knew that Zhu Houzhao was coming, and took advantage of today's occasion to instigate people to fight in the ring with our family?

However, when he was shocked and angry, the young scholar outside said loudly: "That's right, this world is the world of the Ming Dynasty and the world of the emperor, but for example, there is a place where the court decree is not passable, the officials cannot carry out the order, the people are all squeezed, and Zhongliang has to retreat!" From the Hongzhi period to the present, the people of Jiangxi have been beaten by King Ning, but no one has come forward to take care of it, but there are still people in the court who accept bribes, and they have allowed the guards of King Funing! ”
