Although Qian Ning has already gone around in a big circle, Xu Xun's background in playing with his heart and eyes may not be successful, but he has never missed this off-string sound. At this moment, he stared at Qian Ning for a long time, and then he frowned, as if he said a little carelessly: "Lord Ye is old and in poor health, but Jinyiwei and Li Yifeng are here, and it is cheap for him to take over this kind of thing." It's just that at that time, Gu Gonggong came to see me with Liu Gonggong, and when the emperor saw him, he naturally gave him this drudgery. Who is there chewing his tongue and reaching your ears? ”

Qian Ning was a little stunned when he saw Xu Xun say this. Although Liu Jin mentioned that he would make peace in front of Xu Xun for him, he is not stupid, now Xu Xun and Liu Jin are at odds with each other, and the people who have grabbed the seat in the court have already been robbed, if Liu Jin is stabbed through this matter, what will Xu Xun, the top boss, think of him? So, he hesitated for a long time, and finally put his heart sideways.

"Originally, it was just someone talking nonsense there, but when I think about it, I always feel that this matter is not trivial." Seeing that Xu Xun really showed a solemn expression, he leaned forward and said, "My lord, think about it, in the past, you had a good relationship with Master Ye Li Qianhu, and the personnel and affairs of this Jinyi Guard sold your affection, whether it was news or work, it could be called by you." If Lord Ye has anything in case, wouldn't it be a big bad thing if Jinyiwei was entrusted to someone in the future? Although Li Qianhu is a first-class capable member, he is not a lowly person who speaks ill of people behind his back, he is only worse in one breath, his grade is not enough, and his qualifications are not enough. ”

Qian Ning has already talked about this, if Xu Xun doesn't understand it anymore, it will be a pig's brain. After exhaling lightly, he looked at Qian Ning and said with a smile: "Then who do you think can take on this heavy responsibility?" ”

If it were someone else, he would have carefully tested one or two candidates again at this time, but Qian Ning was a natural gambler. Seeing Xu Xun ask like this, he asked without hesitation: "My lord thinks that the humble position may be competent?" ”

"You?" Xu Xun didn't expect Qian Ning to recommend himself straight to the point, and he pondered for a moment before asking, "Then you have figured out who should take over the avant-garde of the government army?" ”

Seeing that Xu Xun didn't directly agree, but he didn't explicitly say that he couldn't do it, Qian Ning was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly said sincerely: "The avant-garde of the government army is older than the lowly position, and the connections in the army are stronger than the lowly position, if he takes over, he will definitely be able to adjust those young troops neatly." As for his left and right hands, Xu Yanche Qi Jiliang, and the young ones have all come up, and the adults have already promoted the Cao brothers, let them experience and experience in this small place first, and then they will be able to enter the Left Official Hall as the right hand of the adults. At that time, there are lowly posts and Li Qianhu in Jinyiwei inside, Zhang Junzhuang, Jian, Cao Xiong and other generals outside, plus Lin and Zhang, the two Shangshu, Governor Yang, and Zhang Xilu who are in the prime of life, and adults have become the general trend・・・・・・"

He said impassionedly, Xu Xun smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you have all the details of this set of words." I take the matter of Jinyiwei to heart, now that Lord Ye is just sick, don't show your clues, otherwise he has a very high reputation in Jinyiwei, in case someone says that you are plotting for the position of Jinyiwei's commander, I am afraid that it will be self-defeating. Let me think about this matter, don't look at you as the avant-garde commander of the government army, you don't have any seniority in Jinyiwei, and it's not so easy to convince you. ”

"It's all up to adults!"

Xu Xun left Qian Ning to talk for a while, and instructed him to live and govern the army, etc., so that Ah Bao sent people out. As soon as the people went out, he had to lie down slowly with his hands on his pillows. The previous time he was able to return with a big victory, Qian Ning's battle in Shacheng can be said to be very important, and such a courageous, brave and resourceful heroic argument is certainly not limited to the avant-garde young army of the Guanjiao Army. It's just that the name of Zhangjin Yiwei is too important, if it is not someone who is willing to follow him wholeheartedly to the black, it is really too risky! …,

Ye Guang, Ye Guang, for the sake of the situation that is not yet clear, I only hope that you will live a long life, even if you can't be 100 years old, please live at least three more years and five years!

Han Wen's counterfeit silver case, Xu Xun's assassination case, these two strange cases have not yet been revealed, Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Si was ordered to collect the military department of the military selection department director Wang Shouren sent an edict to prison, and reported to prison within a few days. Although Wang Shouren connected three excerpts in prison, Li Yifeng also played all of them without pulling up, but the result was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no news at all.

Just when Wang Shouren was already disheartened, on this day, three or five eunuchs and several Jinyi lieutenants suddenly appeared at the door of his cell.

"Wang Shouren, the emperor's will has come down!"

During Wang Shouren's few months in Xiyuan, several eunuchs around Zhu Houzhao also saw a lot, and at this time he recognized it as Ma Yongcheng at a glance. Seeing Ma Yongcheng's face full of sinister smiles, even if he was sluggish, he knew that there was something wrong with this time, and immediately stood up slowly. Originally, Li Yifeng had all the weapons on his body removed for him, but he refused, and the clanging sound was particularly harsh at this moment. And Ma Yongcheng saw that he knelt down again after getting up, so he said word by word with his hands behind his back: "Wang Shouren, the military selection department of the Ministry of War, has bewitched the public and lost hope, with a standing staff of thirty, and dethroned Guizhou Longchang Yicheng!" ”

Hearing such a sentence, the several brocade captains behind Ma Yongcheng all suddenly changed color. glanced at each other, and just as someone wanted to smear the soles of their feet with oil, Ma Yongcheng turned his head at this time: "The emperor is very kind, originally it was supposed to be executed at the noon gate, so that all the officials could see it, so as to set an example, but now there is no need to call hundreds of officials to watch the punishment, and directly put people at the noon gate!" What are you still doing in a daze, isn't Jinyi Wei the most proficient in this business? ”

Several people looked at each other even more when they heard this, and one of the eldest, the elder, stepped forward and saluted and said: "Back to my father-in-law, Li Qianhu went to visit Master Ye, and Cui Baihu who was sentenced to punishment is not here. ”

Ma Yongcheng was suddenly furious: "Nonsense, the dignified brocade guard, there is even no one who walks the court staff?" You are obviously deliberately prevaricating our family, and even Ye Guang and Li Yifeng can't afford to bear the responsibility for this delay! ”

"Father-in-law Ma, the little ones don't dare, but the few people who specialize in the court staff, they are really not there." The old lieutenant immediately called out and said, "You must know that the little one has been in Jinyiwei for almost twenty years, and since the first emperor ascended the throne, he has almost never used the court staff, and there are fewer and fewer people who have practiced this craft......"

Ma Yongcheng was impatient to argue with these Jinyi captains, seeing that people had found countless reasons to delay, he finally couldn't help but shout angrily: "If Jinyiwei can't find anyone to come, then our family will immediately return to the palace to visit you, and you will defy the holy will!" It's really against you, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, and our family will not ask Ye Guang and Li Yifeng to come to see our family and let them talk to our family! ”

Wang Shouren in the prison room listened to the school captain's spittle and Ma Yongcheng screaming bitterly, seeing Ma Yongcheng angry, he remembered that he had been sent to Beizhen Fubait Prison that everyone feared these days, and the top and bottom were satisfied with everything, except for the equipment he did not want to use, he did not suffer anything. At this time, these little people are not even afraid of offending Ma Yongcheng, so big and procrastinating, how can he not know that someone is trying to protect him? However, when he thought that Zhu Houzhao, the Zhengde Emperor who had taught the Hanshu of Historical Records and talked about the history of the late Tang Dynasty's eunuchization of the Son of Heaven, now he couldn't listen to his painstaking advice, he only felt that his heart was cold.

Does Xu Xun know that if he is in the company of these eunuchs, sooner or later he will be eaten to the bones!

Huang Wa East Gate Inner Master of Ceremonies Yamen, Liu Jin walked back and forth in the small public hall, pacing back and forth with one eye, but always looking out of the door, I don't know how long it took, the door curtain moved suddenly, and then a small fireman came in. As soon as the person entered the door, he immediately lay on the ground and kowtowed, and then said without raising his head: "Back to my father-in-law, the little one didn't see Wang Shilang." Wang Shilang asked people to say, since the evidence of the crime of unfilial piety is conclusive, how to deal with it, he listened to the holy will...,

"Okay, good, it's really a son hero!"

Liu Jin originally had some calculations, secretly wondering if he could use Wang Shouren's matter to force Wang Hua to comply. It must be known that Wang Hua is also an old minister of the Spring Palace who was extremely valued by Emperor Hongzhi in the past, and now Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is already a toothless tiger, as long as Wang Hua is willing to take refuge in him, whether Wang Hua takes over Zhang Sheng's position as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, or directly pushes into the cabinet, he can have one more prestigious member under his command. However, his sons have already entered the edict and their lives are uncertain, and this Wang Hua can still stand it!

He sneered a few times before he waved his hand and sent the little firefighter out, and then said to himself: "Even if you toast and don't eat and drink, don't blame our family for being ruthless!" Send your baby son to Guizhou, and you can pack up your bedding and go to Nanjing to retire! Min is gone, Xie Qian is gone, this time it's your turn Wang Hua! ”

At this moment, a low voice suddenly came from outside: "Father-in-law, I heard that the emperor has left the palace." ”

Liu Jin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then shouted: "Come in and talk!" ”

Although the man who came in was the celebrant and the celebrant in the hall, he still knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, just like the little flame man in the front. After the others finished saluting, Liu Jin asked condescendingly: "When did the emperor leave the palace, how many people did he take, and where did he go?" ”

However, for these three questions, the celebrant was a little hesitant, and only after a while did he snort and said: "It's the news sent from Xiyuan, the emperor shouldn't have brought a few people, at least Duke Qiu and Grandpa Wei don't know, and none of them followed." However・・・・・・ but the Qianqing Palace steward's brand, Grandpa Rui, should follow. ”

Liu Jin frowned for a while, thinking about it, he suddenly thought of a fatal stubble, and suddenly secretly screamed that it was not good, and then ignored the celebrant who was kneeling on the ground, and strode out of the door. Seeing that a few small firefighters were about to pass the stool and open the umbrella like headless flies, he immediately reprimanded impatiently: "It's not over, hurry up and pack up a stool and the stool is over, no need to open an umbrella!" ”

And when Liu Jin was thundering because of the news that Zhu Houzhao had left the palace, Zhu Houzhao had already left Xi'an Gate under the guidance of Latham and Watkins, and it didn't take long for him to gallop into Wu'anhou Hutong. Seeing that the west corner of Xing'anbo's Mansion was full of visitors, and when he was frowning, Latham had already stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, why don't we take a detour through the back door?" ”

"Okay, according to you, I can't wait to see these guys who know how to kowtow!"

Although the back door of Xing'anbo's Mansion was also tightly closed, but after Ruisheng knocked on it, he told his identity directly, and the man immediately opened the door. Because Zhu Houzhao came a lot of times, the person who opened the door saw a person flashing in, and quickly recognized the little emperor, while hurriedly ordering people to go inside to report, and on the other hand, he beckoned people to go out to take care of the horses.

However, Zhu Houzhao rarely walked to the back door on weekdays, and as soon as he walked along the small door of the whirlwind, he was dizzy in a moment. Not only was he dizzy, but even Latham and Watchen, who followed him closely for fear of losing people, had no direction. The two of you look at me, and in the end, after Ruisheng looked around, he saw an elderly servant woman passing by, and hurriedly pulled someone over.

"Where is Pingbeibo's residence, we are from the palace, take us quickly."

The servant woman was surprised by the sudden appearance of such two little teenagers in the backyard, and she was about to open her mouth to shout, but when she heard such an explanation, she suddenly became suspicious. Although Zhu Houzhao and Ruisheng were both dressed decently, when she thought that her young master had just been assassinated, she had an extra heart, and after agreeing to it, she led the way in front of her, and then interrogated the two of them about their roots. Ruisheng didn't care, but Zhu Houzhao replied casually, and the servant woman became more and more suspicious when he heard it. When they finally walked out of a small door, Zhu Houzhao and Ruisheng were stunned for a moment. …,

Where is Xu Xun's residence in that courtyard, the entire spacious courtyard is full of shirtless men, at this moment the two people in the field are holding knives and guns to compete with each other, the weapons that flash cold light collide with each other, making a burst of piercing or pleasant sounds. Zhu Houzhao was looking at it with a relaxed expression, and the servant woman shouted.

"Come on, these two traitors are pretending to be from the palace, take them down quickly!"

Zhu Houzhao was a little dumbfounded by this shout, but Latham couldn't care less about being in a daze. Seeing that the sturdy men suddenly surrounded the pair of people who had just fought inextricably, and rushed to the forefront with weapons, he hurriedly pulled Zhu Houzhao behind his back, and then puffed up his chest and shouted: "What traitors, all retreat, this is the emperor coming to visit Beibo!" ”

When Zhu Houzhao finally saw Xu Xun, he saw Xu Xun, who heard about this scene from Ah Bao's mouth, laughing and falling.

The little emperor was so embarrassed that he sat down and said angrily: "It's all that damn woman who is not good, I and Ruisheng seem to be a righteous faction, she will mistake her for a traitor!" And Xu Xun, those people you raised, Latham has already shouted at a loud voice, they still dare to surround like this, and some people will be suspicious......"

"Your Majesty, this has to be thanks to your frequent comings and goings, otherwise they would not be suspicious, but no one would believe it." Xu Xun smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed together, and without waiting for Zhu Houzhao to speak, he added, "Didn't the emperor almost blame others for the assassination of his ministers before, so it's not strange that the family is more vigilant, not to mention that this kid Ruisheng is not easy to find, and he actually pulled a woman in a raccoon in the backyard to lead the way." ”

"Your Majesty, they are all small ......"

"Come on, I don't blame you, I'm all in a hurry." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand generously, got up and sat directly on the edge of the bed, staring at Xu Xun's face for a long time, and then snorted coldly, "I'm really worried about it, you still have time to laugh at me, I think this injury is really not in the way." But I've just gotten past your guards, but they're all sturdy and well-built, so it's no wonder they want to be included in the vanguard of the government army. For the sake of you, you are recruiting talents for me, I will not blame them, but let them be your personal soldiers as usual, no one around you can't do it, who knows when this country will be caught, and when a sea mountain will burst out! ”

"Thank you for your kindness!"

The two of them gossiped for a while, and Xu Xun took out the letter sent by Yang Yiqing and told the little emperor about the situation in the three towns of Shaanxi today. Speaking of the rise, he sent Rayson to get the map, and sent Rayson to ask someone to bring tea, and in the end, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but quip: "Layson is now my person, and you still support him with such peace of mind?" ”

"Well, the emperor forgives his sins, and he is used to ...... for a while" Xu Xun laughed dryly, and took the opportunity to talk about military affairs, he said, "Zhuang Jian, the chief soldier of Datong, once wrote to me before, and said that the military was lax before Juyong Pass, but now it is much more decent than before. It was Wang Bo'an who went to Juyong Guan to prepare for the border ・・・・・・ last year."

"Don't mention Wang Bo'an!" Zhu Houzhao's face changed suddenly, and he was furious for a while, "I saw that for the sake of him who had trained the avant-garde of the government army and taught me the history of the scriptures, I was originally going to use him greatly, but he actually fought against me again and again!" He refused to give you a helper, and he also wrote a book saying that Jiangshan Fei was used by others, and there was a mistake in the prison of the Criminal Department, not to mention what Liu Jin and they supported Jiang Shan Fei to stab you, you listen to what kind of bastard bastard this is! Anyone can say these words that divide my heart and soul, but why did he say it! I don't want to see him again, and when I see him, I get angry! ”

Zhu Houzhao even said the words of dividing his henchmen at this time, Xu Xun knew in his heart that the little emperor was obviously putting himself and Liu Jin and others in the same position. For an ordinary latecomer, that's enough; But for him to aim bigger and higher, that's not enough. He thought about instigating others to be so tempted, but he didn't expect Wang Shouren to pick this head himself, even so, Zhu Houzhao didn't suspect Liu Jin. At this moment, he was calm, and just as he was about to speak, a familiar voice came from outside. …,

"The emperor can't blame Wang Shouren, after all, he is pure speculation, so he is biased."

With this voice, a person opened the curtain and entered the house, and it was Gu Dayong. He smiled innocently, stood up after saluting, and then said respectfully to Zhu Houzhao: "The case of the assassination of Emperor Pingbeibo, the slave and maid have already found out a few eyebrows. After Jiang Shanfei was taken down by Li Yifeng, who was in charge of the punishment of thousands of households in Jinyi Weibei Town, he was handed over to the prison of the Criminal Department not long after. At that time, the jailer hated him for talking about Min, so he tortured him very much, and it was not until Jiao Ge's old chief secretary that his situation improved. I don't know who brought him the letter, saying that it was not Min who supported him to intimidate Xu Jingxing and assassinate Zhang Cai in the past, but Pingbeibo, so he actually remembered all the new and old hatreds on Pingbeibo. ”

Seeing that Xu Xun and Zhu Houzhao were all shocked, Gu Dayong paused, and then said word by word: "After the slave maid accepted him and sent him to prison, he used up the punishment, and he confessed it all in order to die quickly." The jailer and the slave he spoke of had been arrested, but the man had run away without a trace. And the jailer on duty on the night he escaped, the slave maid got two of the four, and the two couldn't help confessing, and the other two drugged their meals that night, so when they woke up, Jiang Shanfei had already run away, and they were afraid of being implicated, so they kept the matter on hold, thinking that the limelight should be able to pass. As for Tu Xun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, the slave maid also questioned Tu Xun and said that he had never cared about the prison before the Criminal Department, but when such a big incident happened, he asked to be demoted.

"So, such a small person has been used many times?"

Xu Xun thought that he also used Jiang Shanfei to lead to this assassination just right, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao's face was uncertain, he opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, if you swear a curse, the minister doesn't want to say more, the minister only wants to say a word, and the minister never knew that there was such a person as Jiang Shanfei before Xu Jing was honest with the minister, let alone an envoy. ”

"Of course I believe you, you are not a civil official, how do you know which ghosts, snakes, and gods there are in each department, not to mention that the criminal department has always been an unpopular yamen."

Zhu Houzhao said such a sentence without thinking, but his frowning brows still did not stretch. At this moment, Ah Bao's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Young master, young master, Jinyiwei sent someone to send an urgent letter, saying that Ma Gonggong took people to Beizhen Fusi Prison to pass the decree, to send Wang Shouren thirty canes in front of the noon gate and send Guizhou Longchang Post to fill the post!" ”

Hearing this, not to mention that Xu Xun was stunned, even Zhu Houzhao and Gu Dayong were also stunned. Xu Xun immediately lifted the robe on his body and got out of bed, then knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, don't say that Wang Shouren will be demoted to Guizhou, or even to be demoted to Qiongzhou Mansion, but this court staff will never be used!" ”

Zhu Houzhao's face turned blue and white for a while, and after a while, he said with a tiger face: "Why can't you do it, my grandfather and grandfather have all used it, why can't I!" ”

"Your Majesty, although the court staff is humiliating to civil officials, it is also a scholarly reputation, but for the emperor, others will accuse you of not being humble and accepting advice, and not having the demeanor of a wise monarch." Xu Xun didn't wait for Zhu Houzhao to open his mouth to refute, and said like a cannon, "Of course, if you really have nothing to do and just think about being in the limelight, the emperor wants to fight as much as he wants, and the minister will never talk about it, but the emperor just said that after all, Wang Bo'an and his ministers have trained the avant-garde of the government army together, and he has also taught the emperor the history of the scriptures!" Even if he suspects the wrong person, his mind is still good, and he writes to save those officials in Nandu, which is also a scholar's spirit, and he can only be punished slightly. ”

When Xu Xun said this, Zhu Houzhao's face changed several times, and finally shouted at Gu Dayong: "Gu Dayong, you go to the front of the noon gate to pass the decree, and ask Wang Shouren to leave Beijing and go to Guizhou to take office at three o'clock!" For the sake of him and me, there is still some old affection, and the court staff is exempt! ”

"Your Majesty, if Gonggong Ma doesn't believe it......"

Zhu Houzhao glared angrily and said: "Why don't you believe it, he didn't go with the will in black and white, that is, the oracle!" He didn't believe and came to talk to me, and if he said again, you would say that he had passed on the wrong message! ”

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao only felt extremely hot, and he actually pulled open his collar fiercely for a while. What Gu Dayong said is very true, then Jiang Shanfei should have been killed a long time ago, how could he stay until now? Could it be that Wang Shouren really said it accurate・・・・・・ it is impossible, Liu Jin and Xu Xun have always called brothers and sisters the closest, and it is impossible for these two right-hand men to have a discord!

PS: A word, I went to check the Ming Shilu, the unlucky Wang Shouren didn't know if he was the first person to be scepted by the court in the Zhengde Dynasty, Liu Jin was really interested in his father - the first one to be hit by the board was the one Qin Tianjian, who was beaten to death by Liu Jin (whether it was an edict or not can not be determined). Clear
