Chapter 445: Grab Liu Jin's seat and dig Liu Jin's corner!

No matter how honest a person is, he will have a few more eyes after staying in the palace for a long time, not to mention that Ruisheng was originally willing to listen and learn, and Xiao Jing has taught for a long time, of course he knows that Liu Jin is now gaining momentum, and the emperor and Xu Xun are really energetic, he doesn't say what is important, maybe the emperor will leave people waiting outside, and he may inadvertently make a big enemy for Xu Xun. Therefore, after saying this, after a short while, he saw that the door curtain was beaten high, and then Zhu Houzhao was the first to come out.

"Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qianzhishi?"

Zhu Houzhao had already asked the truth from Zhu Hui's mouth before, and when he saw Ruisheng nodding, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then he smiled hesitantly: "If you want to say that they are so decisive, if they don't succeed ・・・・・・in leaving, it's just that for the sake of my father and emperor calling them Mr. respectfully, I don't bother to bother with them." Go, call Liu Jin in! ”

The new official took office three fires, Liu Jin finally got his wish and became the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, and immediately went to the ceremonial eunuch, seeing Li Rong Chen Kuan retreating, Dai Yi directly sued the sick, and the next one by one used to be a guy who disobeyed his yang and yin, but now they all lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything, he was complacent, and he rushed back after a long addiction, but he unexpectedly learned that Xu Xun had been in for a while. At this time, when he entered the warm pavilion, he was about to salute, and when he saw Zhu Houzhao shaking his hand angrily, he took advantage of the situation to stand up and presented the things in his hand with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao flipped through it casually, and immediately put it aside without interest: "Liu Jian Xie is allowed to move, Li Dongyang is not allowed, and he ordered to stay." Or according to the old system, give the edict to the post, and order Si Yue to give five stones of rice, and give eight servants to the year, and send them back! ”

The news that was once cut off outside is now unblocked again, and Liu Jin certainly knows who is behind it. But now it was just a cruel lesson to Wang Yue and the others, and when he thought of almost capsizing the boat this time, but he was going to let the others go, he felt uncomfortable, and at this time he couldn't help but tentatively say: "Your Majesty, this time the matter is clearly Liu Jian's envoy who thanked them for moving them, if they are just let them do it according to the old system, wouldn't it still make them proud?" At least one level downgraded ......"

"Father-in-law Liu, that's not what I said, since March and April, there have been enough changes in the court, and at this time, the emperor is just for a stable word, and now he will give Liu Ge Lao Xie Ge a face, at least it will not provoke those officials to make any more big scenes." When Xu Xun said this, seeing that Liu Jin's face was a little unnatural, he said casually, "Besides, instead of caring about these people who are determined to leave, it's better to see who fills their vacancies, right?" ”

Speaking of this question, Liu Jin suddenly threw away the little regret just now. Looking at Zhu Houzhao and nodding, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, if the cabinet is entrusted by someone else, it may be repeated in the future." According to the view of the slave maid, Jiao Fang, the secretary of the ministry, has always been diligent and flexible, and pushed him into the cabinet, so that the emperor will have no worries in the future. ”

Xu Xun wanted to try Liu Jin, but when he heard that he couldn't wait to launch Jiao Fang in front of the palace, he knew that the old guy's two-faced and three-faced knives had not been exposed so far. Of course, he could think of ways to pierce Jiao Fang's face in front of Liu Jin, but just seeing that Liu Jin was rushing to fight for this, he decided to postpone this hand for the time being. Therefore, when he saw Zhu Houzhao looking at him as if he was inquiring, he bowed his head slightly and said: "Jiao Fang is the person who can best understand the Sacred Heart, and it is very good for him to enter the cabinet." ”

What Liu Jin was most afraid of was that Xu Xun had solved this crisis by descending from heaven this time, and he grabbed a seat with him in front of the palace, and he was immediately relieved when he heard this. However, at this time, Xu Xun smiled slightly: "But since Jiao Shangshu has entered the cabinet, the vacancy in this ministry has to be filled." Previously, when the court promoted the secretary of the ministry, Lin Han, the secretary of the Nanjing ministry, won the expectations of the public, and today the minister heard that there are still many Hanlin and the officials recommended him in the matter. This person is old and serious, and it should be the most suitable to serve as a heavenly official. ”…,

If it weren't for Liu Jin's eagerness to want Jiao Fang to enter the cabinet, he could only reluctantly find a criminal department secretary for Lin Han, but now he has to fight for it!

The smile on Liu Jin's face froze suddenly, listening to Zhu Houzhao ask Lin Han with great interest, Xu Xun was laughing at Lin Han's anecdotes again, if he didn't know that Lin Han and Xu Xun were related, he would be a pig's brain. However, just now Xu Xun helped him in Jiao Fang's matter, and at this time he had to pinch his nose and echo.

"Lin Shangshu is famous, and he should be able to take on heavy responsibilities when he thinks about it."

Seeing that Xu Xun nodded at himself with a smile, as if he was thanking him for repaying the favor, at this time, Liu Jin suddenly had no interest in continuing to discuss those vacancies, and secretly thought that there was only one Jiao Fang in his pocket now, and the rest was to go back to someone to discuss and discuss. So, he accompanied Zhu Houzhao to talk and laugh a few words, and when he finally quit, he deliberately pulled Xu Xun out by saying something to Xu Xun. This time out of the Chengqian Palace, he immediately looked at Xu Xun with a smile.

"Brother Xu, you really gained a lot when you went to Nanjing this time! I heard that Lin Han is one of the famous four gentlemen of the Southern Capital, the most upright person, and this will also be included in your ranks, which is really clever! ”

"Where, where, it's just a fluke." Although he knew that Lin Han was not completely his own person, Xu Xun still smiled in front of Liu Jin, and then said, "Father-in-law Liu said this, I have one thing to say, although I didn't care much about the banknote in the open, but I found it out secretly. Those newly arrived tax eunuchs were very exploited as soon as they went up, but in essence, the money handed over to the court was less. The emperor gave me such a task before leaving, so I thought about it and recommended Du Jin to inspect the banknotes. This man has a good hand in financial planning, and it is appropriate to do this. ”

"Du Jin? Which Du Jin? Liu Jin seems to be rude and unliterate, but in fact, he can recognize the words and have a good memory, so he suddenly came to his senses, "The Du Jin who followed Li Rong?" Brother Xu, you actually want to use that old guy's person? ”

"This time I can get through this pass safely, the note he sent out is very critical, Lao Liu, who do you say he is?"

Hearing this, Liu Jin couldn't help but gasp, and the next rebuttal was suddenly speechless. When he heard Xu Xun say that he had already asked for credit for this person in front of the emperor, he didn't have the heart to argue with Xu Xun for such a small role, but when he thought that the group of people he had released out of the money gate had embarrassed him, he couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved in his heart. Just as he was walking in silence, another voice came from beside him.

"Of course, Du Jin will not go in vain, he knows that those people in the first place have honored Gonggong Liu a lot, so he is also willing to follow the old practice and will never make it difficult for Gonggong Liu."

As soon as he heard this, Liu Jin suddenly came to his senses. Looking sideways at Xu Xun and seeing that he didn't mean to joke at all, he smiled with his eyebrows: "Where is this, he is your person, who is with you, do you still want to come to this set?" ”

"Eh, otherwise, the affairs of the palace are the affairs of the palace, Lao Liu, you will soon be in charge of the celebrant and the eunuch, this matter is in your charge, how can you go past you?" Seeing that Liu Jin replied half-truthfully, Xu Xun knew that this stubble was temporarily revealed, and after saying goodbye to Liu Jin in Xihuamen, he looked at the back, and then he smiled.

I'm not afraid that you're greedy, I'm afraid you're not greedy! Speaking of which, if it weren't for the big fortune made by his father Xu Liang back then, he would still have to worry about the expenses of those favors sent to him every day, where would he be at ease now? Fortunately, the investment in Xianyuan has ended, and it will be the time to make money in the future. is not greedy and rich, he is much more confident than Liu Jin! ..., because Xu Liang and Shen Yue, the daughter-in-law, would not return until August, so when Xu Xun returned to Xing'an Bo Mansion to face the empty house, he couldn't help but feel a feeling of loneliness, so he simply found Zhu Ying and instructed him to move to the study outside in the next few days. However, as soon as he stepped into the study, he saw a five or six-year-old little guy who was busy wiping with Po there, and he was stunned. The next moment, Ah Bao hurriedly pushed the kid forward and kowtowed.

"Young Master!"

Seeing that the little guy kowtowed, Xu Xun looked at Ah Bao with an inquiring gaze, and Ah Bao hurriedly explained: "Tao Hong is still in Nanjing, this is the son of Uncle Jin Liu, called Jin Yuanbao." Originally, he recognized a few words, but Uncle Jin Liu taught him some rules when he saw that there was no one in the study before, and asked him to help clean up the dust when he was idle. ”

"Gold ingot・・・・・・ hahahaha, it's really the same as his father's habit of asking for money when he dies!" Xu Xun finally couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, he beckoned the little guy forward, "Is this your big name or your small name, who gave it to you?" ”

"It's my father・・・・・・ no, no, it's the name of my uncle, and when I was in Nanjing, the neighbors called it that." Jin Yuan Bao was born with a tiger's head and a tiger brain is extremely cute, and halfway through speaking, he hurriedly covered his mouth as if biting his tongue, and changed his mouth stiffly, and then looked at Xu Xun pitifully and said, "Young Master, don't you think it's good?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, just call it that, go back and wait for you to be older, and I'll give you another scientific name."

Xu Xun kowtowed happily when he saw the gold ingot, as if it was a great blessing to keep this shining name, he didn't feel it, and secretly thought that maybe the little guy grew up and Jin Liu became carved out of the same mold. So when he sat down behind the bookcase, he asked Ah Bao to grind the ink, and when he saw that the short gold ingot wanted to help, but he couldn't reach the bookcase, he smiled and flicked a finger on his forehead: "Okay, I don't need you here for the time being, go to the kitchen to see if there are any snacks to bring over, and say that I let you go." ”

Jin Yuan Bao happily went to the kitchen, Xu Xun saw that Ah Bao's ink was almost polished, so he chose a pen from the pen holder, spread out the small notepaper, dipped it in thick ink and began to write a letter. The first letter was written to Zhang Mao, which was nothing more than a detailed account of the Beijing Division incident, and mentioned the articles made by Liu Jian and Xie Qian in the Beijing camp and the 12th regiment camp, but it was only a passing mention of his "turning the tide". When the second letter to Lin Han arrived, he had to think about it a lot, and he felt that it was inappropriate to write a few lines of words, so he crumpled it up and threw it into the paper basket to write it again, tossing back and forth several times, and then he found the entry point.

"・・・・・・ Lin is a fair person, and he is admired by the court, so he is the choice of the ministry. Now the main hall of the Ministry is vacant, and there are many resignations in the court, if the grant is not human, or Lin Gong is not ordered, the power of selection will be kneaded at will in the palm of others, and justice can no longer be obtained. Today, it is smart and natural, and there are many innovative meanings, and the public is a minister, and it can be quoted correctly, and it is far better than a corner of the southern capital of An. Or say that after Xun returned to Beijing, the situation was turned upside down, if the cloud had to be a last resort, the public would not believe it, but at this point, when the other generation was rejoicing, it may not be an opportunity for my generation, please look at it ・・・・・・

It was easy to write a letter, Xu Xun looked before and after, and only felt that it was appropriate to spend countless brain cells hesitating, he heard a burst of talking from outside, and after a while, he only heard Jin Yuan Bao say respectfully outside the door: "Mr. Tang, please stay for a while, I will go and report to the young master."

Hearing that it was Tang Yin coming, Xu Xun hurriedly shouted: "Yuanbao, please Mr. Tang come in!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw that the gold ingots laboriously opened the bamboo curtain a lot, even so, Tang Yin still had to reach out and pull the curtain before entering the house, holding a box in one hand. He was about to ask with a smile what was in it, but Tang Yin put the thing on the high table with a smile, stepped forward and arched his hand: "When did the adults have such a little scholar?" On the way, I was holding such a heavy holding box and didn't let me help, and when I entered the door, I had to help hold it, but I was still eyeing it for fear that I had stolen a piece, which was funny! "...," is the son of Kim Roku. ”

Xu Xun saw that Jin Yuan Bao looked at Tang Yin, and saw that he seemed to be a little confused, so he bowed his head slightly at Ah Bao and said, "Take a few pieces of dim sum to him, you take him out to play He is still young, don't detain him." ”

Ah Bao hurriedly agreed, and then squatted down with the box and let the gold ingots pick. The little guy hesitated for a while, and finally only pointed to the jujube cake, and came up to kowtow to Xu Xun to thank him, and then he took Ah Bao out happily with one hand. Being troubled by this little guy, Xu Xun's originally somewhat tangled mood relaxed a lot, and he raised his hand to signal Tang Yin to sit, and he handed over the letter he had just written to Lin Han.

"I think my brain is knotted, how about you show me this great talent?"

Other people's families often have Qing guests to write letters on their behalf, but Xu Xun doesn't have so many people who come and go, and secondly, the people who need him to write letters are either relatives and friends, so he naturally doesn't like to be ghostwritten, so Tang Yin is the first time to do this kind of thing. He took the letter with both hands, and read it in a glance, but then read it a second time. Combined with the hook he came up with when he went to Xu Zhenqing first, he was smart by nature, and he understood it at once.

Xu Xun was afraid that Lin Han would be more proud of the two eunuchs in the capital because of the two elders, so he was disheartened and refused to go to Beijing.

So, he rolled his eyes and smiled: "The whole body is very good, but forgive me the truth." For example, Lord Lin and Lord Zhang are very assertive people, please be more than excited, and please consider it. ”

"Please don't ・・・・・・ the generals" Xu Xun's eyes lit up, and then he stood up and exclaimed, "Okay, okay, my biggest headache will be solved for you at once!" I might as well say in the letter, 'Now that the righteousness of the DPRK and the Central Government is empty, and many officials have the intention of leaving, if the public is appointed to the ministry, I am afraid that it will be difficult.' The public is over the age of old, the energy is not good, and he has been in the southern capital for many years, and he is afraid that he is not used to working in government affairs. If the public does not come, the hundred officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee will not be able to blame, and Xun will not dare to force it. οΌŒβ€

"That's it!" Tang Yin nodded with a smile, "If I am asked to ghostwrite, it will be a good article, but it is not as sincere as what the adults think they wrote." Since Lord Lin is using the radical general, Lord Zhang is there, I am afraid that the adults will have to be sincere, but Lord Zhang is really old, and the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are complicated, I am afraid it will be difficult to support it."

"This is not difficult, before Jiao Fang took up the ministry, Zhang Cai reported illness, and now Wenxuan Shilang has been replaced. Let him serve as the imperial history of the right capital, just to give Master Zhang a hand! Speaking of this, Xu Xun sat down at this time, looked at Tang Yin for a moment and said with a smile, "Bohu, you didn't care about these idle things in my house in the past, but now you are not willing to devote yourself to the imperial examination like Father Heng, so help me with some things." Not to mention anything else, in the future, Lord Lin and Lord Zhang will come to Beijing, plus Xie Da Sicheng of the North Prison, no one in the family will be able to interact with them except for my father and me, and it will be good for you to move around more. ”

Talking and laughing with Confucianism, there is no white ding, this is the highest goal of literati communication throughout the ages, although Tang Yin has to return to Xie Yuan, but after all, he is just a person, and he does not want to be a man again, Xu Xun gently and skillfully gave him such a great opportunity, he only felt that his heart was hot. Thinking of this, he stood up and bowed deeply.

"Thank you, my lord, Yin will live up to your expectations!"

After the letters to Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua were written, Xu Xun rubbed his somewhat sore wrists, and secretly thought that he was really going to transform into a martial artist now, and holding a pen was more tiring than holding a bow and arrow. Even so, he still wrote a few big characters on his head in a dignified manner - Yang Gong Dian Jingqi. After all, he and Yang Yiqing were friends on the battlefield, so he did not shy away from the affairs in Beijing, except for his own edict to enter the Guoyong Battalion and skip it, the others were all mentioned approximately, and finally invited Yang Yiqing to return to Beijing to serve as the secretary of the military department. Although he was very unsure whether Yang Yiqing would come back, he was always unwilling not to give it a try. ..., grab more seats in the six Metropolitan Procuratorates in front of Liu Jin, this is his biggest goal now, who made him not have someone like Jiao Fang who can be pushed into the cabinet immediately?

It's easy to get busy, let Tang Yin read all the letters, put these letterheads into the envelope Xu Xun was thinking about whether to send the letter through Jinyiwei or Xichang, and Ah Bao opened the curtain and entered the room, followed by a gold ingot. Ah Bao respectfully saluted Xu Xun and Tang Yin, and then said: "There are many adults outside who ask to see them, and Uncle Jin Liu doesn't know how to deal with it because he has never had an old routine before, so he urgently asks the young master to show it." ”

Although Xu Xun said that he was a general, there were only a few people who often came and went in the court, and the eunuchs who usually came to the door the most.

Therefore, he was a little surprised when he heard this, so he asked, "Who are they?" ”

"In the matter, Li Xian and Duan Zhi, the directors of the six departments, Wang Jiusi and Wang Naxue, as well as Xue Fengming, Gon, and Qin Ang. Oh, and Governor Liu of the Governor Xuanfu Datong Shanxi Military Affairs sent someone to send a summer gift, and a Zuo Du Yu Shi Cao also sent someone to send a summer gift. There is also ・・・・・・ Uncle Jin Sixth said that Master Zhang, the official who came before, also asked to see him outside. ”

It was the first time that Xu Xun had experienced so many civil officials coming to visit him, thinking about this huge Fu Que in the end, but in the end, he ended up with two cabinet elders and several people in the inner court, which probably provided an opportunity for many people who were down-and-out or ambitious. Naturally, he will not refuse to take refuge at this time, but he will not accept all the orders. At this time, he groaned slightly, and he ordered Zhang Bao to invite Zhang Cai to the study to speak, and then looked at Tang Yin and said, "Bohu, your matter is here." ”

Tang Yin didn't want Hongru to see him yet, and at this moment, a group of Beijing officials came, stood up with a wry smile, nodded and said: "Handover with people like a spring breeze, don't give me a word of truth if you ask Minglai, but that's what your lordship means?" ”

"That's right, if you think it's still eye-catching, write it down for me. I know you're not used to associating with these people, but now I'm short on hand, please. ”

Seeing Tang Yin go out, Xu Xun breathed a sigh of relief. is also a eunuch, why can't Wang Zhen recruit so many talents like Liu Jin in history? The reason is very simple, during the period from Xuande to orthodoxy, there was no such qualification in employing people, and officials were often promoted beyond the ranks, and it was easy to get ahead. And today, even those who are talented are often pressed in Nanjing like Lin Han and others, such as Yang Yiqing in a corner of Shaanxi, more people who are unwilling to be lonely naturally hope to take refuge in someone who appreciates them, even if it is a eunuch. Even so, his reputation as Pingbei Bo is much better than Liu Jin's!

The opportunity is rare, this Liu Jin's corner is not dug for nothing!

Xu Xun was planning how to dig Liu Jin's corner there, and Zhang Cai had already entered the house. Seeing that Xu Xun didn't notice that he was coming in, his eyes were distracted, and his fingers were gently tapping on the table, he waved his hand to signal Ah Bao not to make a sound, and when the others retreated, he quietly sat down on the chair next to him. It took him a long time before he heard a startle.

"Hey, when did Xilu come, and the person who brought you in didn't remind me!"

"I saw that my uncle was in a trance, so I didn't disturb."

"What's out of your mind is just cranky." Xu Xun smiled, then looked at Zhang Cai for a moment and said, "I've only been away from Beijing for a few months, why did you lose weight like this?" ”

"Ma Shangshu Zhishi, Jiao Fang didn't dare to move at first because of the adult, but it happened that I was sick, so he found the reason for it. Now I am preparing to return to my hometown to retire for the rest of my life, so I have come to say goodbye to my lordship. ”

Hearing this, Xu Xun's face suddenly turned cold. After staring at Zhang Cai's eyes for a long time, he suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Xilu is this the truth?" ”

Seeing Xu Xun's deep eyes and solemn face, Zhang Cai hesitated for a moment, and finally said with a heart: "Naturally, it's not true!" But when I heard the news, Liu Ge and Xie Ge have both been gracious, and Li Ge Lao doesn't know how many more days he can stay in the cabinet, and Jiao Fang's entry into the cabinet is already a certainty, if he really becomes the first assistant, wouldn't I be even more struggling? Even so, I don't want to look at people's faces in the court, so it's better to learn from Master Ma as soon as possible! ”

"So you're here for this." Xu Xun saw that Zhang Cai was not testing himself, but resentful, so he smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Elder Li Ge won't leave, he is sitting in this first assistant, and Jiao Fang is a second assistant." And when he entered the cabinet, the secretary of the ministry had ten ** is on the top of Lin Han, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials, and Zhang Shihua, the secretary of the Nanjing Criminal Department, is very likely to enter Beijing and leave the capital procuratorate. But Master Zhang is already very old, and you can serve as the right capital Yushi to assist him. ”

"Huh?"

Seeing Zhang Cai's stunned appearance, Xu Xun said with a smile: "As for the military department, I belong to Yang Yiqing, the governor of Yansui, Ningxia, Shaanxi, of course, whether it will succeed or not. ”

PS: Recently, I've become more accustomed to the party, and a big plot is very stable, so I just do it first...... Having said that, on the 26th, there are only six days until the end of the month, so let's search the personal bookstore to see if there is a monthly pass, and beg for a few support from the line of fire! I seem to have asked for leave since I put it on the shelves・・・・・・
