Chapter 802: It's Time for the Fragrance of the Laurel List (Part II)

Chapter 802 is when the laurels are fragrant again (II)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

"Why?" Zhao Zhenji said anxiously.

Of course, Xu Jie can't say that you are 'so strong', you can only ignite the fire when you go, so you can only change the reason: "Cancel the dish size, after all, it was approved by you, and I am afraid that it will intensify the contradiction if you go." ”

"That'...... All right. Zhao Zhenji is not an emotional person, when his superiors came up with reasons that could persuade him, he no longer insisted on his own opinion, and instead stood up for Counselor Xu Jie: "However, Nanjing officialdom has its own faction, and it has never bought Beijing's accounts, and there are many children of big clans among the prisoners, and it is not easy for both sides to get along, so Yuan Weng must be cautious." ”

"Do you have any candidates from the continent?" Xu Jie squinted and said.

"I've got the perfect fit." Zhao Zhenji said: "I'm afraid that there is a suspicion of killing chickens with a knife." ”

"Huh...... You say it's Gangnam, right? Xu Jie said with a smile.

"Exactly." Zhao Zhenji nodded and said, "But he has been busy with military reform recently, and he can't get out." ”

"I'll think about it again." Xu Jie nodded slowly.

Zhao Zhenji said no more. But after he stepped back, Xu Jie asked people to bring Shen Mo over.

Today it was Shen Mo's turn to be on duty, so he didn't leave after the morning meeting, and after a while, he knocked on the door and came in and said, "Master, you are looking for me." ”

"Hmm." Xu Jie looked at him and said, "Nanjing, why don't you go there?" ”

"This ......" Shen Mo hesitated a little, "Do you want to leave immediately?" ”

"Yes." Xu Jiedao: "Nandu is already 100,000 urgent, and the road to it will be harder, and the old bones can't afford this bump." He said with a smile: "The young man has to work hard." ”

"Yes." Shen nodded silently and said, "Then I'll explain the errand at hand and set off early tomorrow morning." ”

"No, I'll leave in the afternoon," Xu Jie said: "You don't have to hand over the errand of the military department, if there are important matters, the General Administration Department will report to you with a gallop, as for general affairs, the two squires should be able to decide themselves." ”

"This ......" Shen Mo was a little stunned, "It's not in accordance with the rules." ”

"It's a special thing." Xu Jie said disapprerovingly: "Your stall is spread, and others can't take it for a while, besides, you will turn back in a month or two at most, so don't give it to others, young people, it doesn't matter if you work hard, right?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Shen Mo glanced at Xu Jie deeply, and said deeply: "The student will not let the teacher down." ”

"Hehe, the old man still doesn't know his students?" Xu Jie smiled kindly: "Go ahead." ”

Coming out of Lao Xu, Shen Mo came back to his senses, feeling that Mr. Xu wanted to feel at ease, don't think that he was playing tricks to make the tiger leave the mountain, and now that Xu Jie's confrontation with the eunuch also requires him to at least remain neutral, so it is understandable to give some preferential treatment without cost.

It can be seen that silence has been played with so far, to what extent has the demand been reduced? Xu Ge almost didn't pay anything, but he didn't take away his things, and he was grateful to the boss in his heart...... This unlucky child was really raised by his stepmother.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let Hu Yong hurry home to report a letter, Shen Mo seized the short time to get some things done, he went back to the main hall to get an envelope, and then went to Xu Jie's duty room to ask for a meeting.

Seeing him go and return, Xu Jie was slightly shocked: "What else is going on?" ”

"It's another matter." He said silently: "The credentials of Luzon are delivered today, and the matter is so big that students dare not focus on themselves. As he spoke, he handed the big apricot yellow envelope with both hands and said, "Please make a decision." ”

Xu Jie'er is a kind teacher today, so he naturally has to be consistent, he took it with a smile, opened it and took it out, it turned out to be Lu Muhua, the prime minister of Luzon, who wrote to the Heavenly Empire in the name of the foreign domain, and said a total of three things. The first is to thank the Celestial Empire volunteer army, help them drive away the invaders, and pay tribute to two ships of Fangwu to express gratitude; The second is that their king died in battle, and asked the Celestial Empire to appoint a king for them; The third was that they feared that the Spaniards would make a comeback, and asked the imperial court to allow the volunteer army to stay in Luzon for a while, and they were willing to provide military expenses for the time they were stationed.

"The fence is subordinate to Wang Hua, and his heart is commendable" Xu Jie was very happy to see it, helping the vassal country to resist the invaders, and did not use a single cent of the treasury, which will obviously leave a glorious mark on himself in the history books, and the smile on his face became more and more real, and asked: "What do you mean by humble words?" "As soon as I'm happy, it's not called Jiangnan.

"Students think that although Luzon is remote, it has a long history with our dynasty, and then it was interrupted for a period of time due to historical reasons." Silent sycophants shook the sky and said: "But now that the Ming Dynasty has a teacher and a minister, the national strength is gradually recovering, and the prestige is growing, Fanbang is naturally reborn and awe-inspired, and returns to the king......"

"......" Xu Jie's face was weird, "How long has it been since you made a sycophant?" ”

"Well, it's been two years......" Shen Mo said, "It's a little rusty." ”

"Hahahaha......" Xu Jie let out a burst of hearty laughter, which made Li Chunfang and Zhang Juzheng, who were sitting in the main hall, secretly frightened, it seemed that the teacher hadn't laughed like this for a long time, and it was after that kind of thing happened.

"No, forget it," Xu Jie twisted his beard and said with a kind gaze: "A dignified scholar, what you want is not humble or arrogant." ”

"Follow the teacher's teachings." Shen Mo hurriedly said.

"Tell me what you're going to do?" Xu Jieyi waved his hand, and said with a straight face.

"Yes, as the first vassal to return, it should be generously given to show the vassals, but after accepting the lessons of the Yongle period, the students thought that it was better to replace them in other ways, such as sending a number of professors and craftsmen to teach them the way of Confucius and Mencius, and teach them the way of life of the Ming Dynasty, so that they can bathe in the light of Chinese civilization and show the virtue of our great country." Shen Mo said eloquently.

"Just do what you want," Xu Jie trusted the ability to be silent, as long as it didn't cost much.

"As for the selection of the king, it is difficult for the Qing officials to decide family affairs, and let them decide themselves, as long as they have the same internal opinions," Shen Mo said: "The imperial court can issue a letter of appointment at that time." ”

"That's right, learn the lessons of Annan." Xu Jie's head was in agreement, and he said with a condensed expression: "Those volunteer troops...... What to do? ”

"There are only more than 1,000 people in the total, so let them stay in Luzon." Shen Mo said lightly: "The army doesn't want them anymore, it's better than being outcast." ”

"Alas, it's unkind...... Xu Jie sighed and said, "That earl, do you really want to award it?" "For awarding medals to some pirates, this kind of heavy experience is not something Xu Jie can accept.

"Don't worry, what I said at the beginning was to completely defeat the invaders." Shen Mo said softly: "Let's talk about it in three or five years." "It was originally expected that Wang Zhi's people would take Luzon, and it would be proportionate to give him an earl; But now that Nanyang Company has succeeded, who will it sell silently? Zheng Ruozeng? Or is it yourself the boss behind the scenes?

"That's very good," Xu Jie thought for a moment and said, "Don't neglect those strong men, give them a Luzon Thousand Households." ”

Shen Moxin said, okay, I still plan to make a mercenary, and you will be stationed directly in the army...... However, in Xu Ge Lao's opinion, it is natural for the suzerain's country to garrison troops in the vassal country, and it is not a big deal.

After the matter was finished, Shen Mo was about to retire, but Xu Jie stopped him and said: "After Guo Gong went, there has been no one in charge of the Criminal Department, so you can take on the role, so going to Nandu will also be considered a famous teacher." ”

"Yes." Shen Moxin said that the sun is coming out of the west today, and Mr. Xu's gift bag will be delivered?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After explaining the errand, Shen Mo hurriedly left the palace, returned home to say goodbye to his wife and children, and especially told the two boys not to be lawless...... After Li Chengliang fulfilled the agreed one-year period, Shen Mo sent him to Qi Jiguang as a deputy general, and he has been there for half a month, and it is said that the two get along well...... Shen Mo didn't plan to find a new teacher for his son, they were all teenagers and half-year-olds, and they were also trained by Li Chengliang and couldn't be kept at home anymore.

He was going to send the two boys to study in Guozijian...... Due to the system of the predecessors of this dynasty, the civil officials from one to seven grades all got a son to be in the world. Chenghua three years customized, in Beijing three products above the shade, or with the ministry, or sent to the prison to study...... Shen Mo is now a member of the first rank, and because of the rescue work, the three boys all have shadow officials, and they all have the qualifications to study in the country. Of course, I usually accompany the prince to study, and I don't need to go to a national university.

Although the two children are a little younger, Shen Mo is not worried about them being bullied at all, just those two live bandits, and they have learned kung fu, and he will burn high incense if he does not bully others.

waved goodbye to his wife and young son, and arrived in Tongzhou in the afternoon, and hurried south, changed horses three times on the same day, and ran out for 200 miles. As a result, when staying at the post station at night, the whole person fell apart, and was almost carried into the house by several guards, and at first glance, the inner thighs were grinding blood.

Hu Yong hurriedly brought tools to deal with him, silently thanked Bumin, and disinfected the root of his thighs with his teeth grinning, while sighing: "It's really useless, I used to ride a horse for five or six days, and I didn't look like this bear." ”

"Don't talk about adults, our waists are about to break." Hu Yong rubbed his back and said, "The days in the capital are too draining. ”

"What's the matter, Jing Ji Si moved?" Shen Mo looked at him and continued to deal with the wound.

"Hehe," Hu Yong said, "that's what we said." ”

"This is the truth, but ......" said silently, "The treasure knife is stored in the box, which is no different from scrap iron." If you have the heart to follow them, don't come back with them when you go to the south this time. ”

"Adult ......" Hu Yong was difficult to deal with for a while, as a silent close attendant, he knew very well that those guards who were in the army, some of them became not big or small officers, and they made contributions under Yao Chang, Liu Xian and others; Others joined the Nanyang Company and led the escort to gain prestige overseas, in fact, they were already excited. Ban Xiao muttered, "You can't live without a reliable escort by your side. ”

"You don't have to worry about that." After silently treating the wound and applying a cool ointment, he finally eliminated the hot feeling, and snorted comfortably: "I don't go out of danger now, I will keep a few little six sons here, and bring a new person." ”

"This ......" Hu Yong really couldn't agree right away.

"Don't worry, think about it slowly on ......the road" Shen Mo was also tired and anxious, his voice became lower and lower, and then he snored.

Hu Yong couldn't help but smile, gently covered him with the quilt, and tiptoed out with a basin of water.

I couldn't ride a horse now, so I had to change to a carriage, but as soon as I got out of Zhili, the quality of the road immediately declined. After walking for another two days, just as his intestines were about to come out, the messenger from Pegasus liberated Shen Ge Lao, who was already angry.

"Oh, you've forced your way through?" Shen Mo cheered up and read the urgent report: "All of them have been arrested and put in Nanda Prison, what did they do earlier?" Then he asked outside, "Where is this?" ”

"Shandong Dongchang Mansion."

"It's really providential, go to Liaocheng," Shen Mo said happily: "Let's take a boat to ......"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When lying on the stable and comfortable big boat of the official ship, Shen Mo couldn't help but moan comfortably, he didn't dare to take the boat before, because the narrower the road to the North Canal, sometimes a block is several days, of course, he can't afford to delay. But now Nanjing is not so anxious, the canal has passed Liaocheng, and the river has become wide, and there is rarely a phenomenon of blocking boats.

The official ships moved at full speed, and all the ships avoided along the way, and it took nine days to turn from the canal to the Yangtze River, and then to Nanjing. It was September 27, and more than half a month had passed since the riot took place.

When the ship arrived at the wharf, there was already a civil and military officer in Nanjing waiting here, and Shen Ge Lao, who had recovered his dexterity, appeared in front of everyone wearing a scarlet crane official uniform.

"Meet Chincha-sama." The black press on the dock fell to his knees, and after silently accepting a salute for the emperor, he said, "Everyone, please get up quickly." ”

So everyone got up and visited Shen Ge Lao again. At this time, the pedal was lowered, and Shen Mo strode off the boat, and towards the duke standing in front, he clenched his fists and smiled: "How can you drive the grandfather of Lao Guo?" ”

"Haha......" Xu Pengju was wearing a public uniform, and he looked full of momentum, just a mouth exposed: "You're welcome, who is with whom." ”

smiled silently, and then looked at a Nanjing Shangshu and said: "I bother you to come, and I am very sorry not to go." ”

"Where, where," everyone dared to hold up in front of him, and they all laughed and said, "It should be, it should be." ”

"I set up a reception banquet in Zuifeng Tower." Xu Pengju affectionately took his arm and said, "Let's have to drink two cups." ”

Silently, he withdrew his hand and said lightly: "Grandpa's intentions are understood in the heart, but I heard that those prisoners are on a hunger strike in prison, and this meal is really unbearable." As he spoke, he patted his arm and said, "When this matter is settled, I will go to the door to make amends to my grandfather." After speaking, he hugged his fists at everyone and said, "It's disrespectful." Then he got into the carriage waiting at the dock and went straight to the mansion on the shore of Xuanwu Lake.

Looking at the carriage that was leaving quickly, the adults on the dock looked at each other, they wanted to take the opportunity to ask for a favor and ask Shen Mo to let those prisoners go, but Shen Mo seemed to notice it in advance, and left directly. But listening to his words, it seems that there is also a meaning to let them go, which is unpredictable.

"Okay, don't guess." Xu Pengju was not depressed at all about Fang Cai's affairs, but said with a mocking face: "My brother is the reincarnation of Wolong, and he wants to fish in troubled waters in his pool, and your Taoism is a little shallow." Saying that, he patted Tan Dachu, the Nanjing household secretary next to him, and said: "Let's go, go to dinner, if he doesn't go, I'll go, otherwise it's a waste." ”

Tan Dachu smiled bitterly: "Okay." Anyway, he didn't pay for it himself, and he didn't feel distressed, so he beckoned all the officials to go with him...... Nanjing officials are bitter, and it is rare to be able to go to Zuifenglou in ordinary times, so they are naturally happy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the shore of Xuanwu Lake, the blue waves are lapping the waves, the fine willows are still blowing, and the breeze is blowing, like smoke and clouds, and the north has begun to fall leaves, but it is still full of vitality here.

The Qincha Mansion is located on the shore of this blue wave, among the fine willows, and at this moment a table of banquets is set up in the main hall, and the scholar of the East Pavilion is sitting silently on the seat. He declined Wei Guogong's hospitality, and it turned out that he was going to this banquet.

A large red sandalwood round table is full of delicacies, in addition to him, there are seven officials in red robes here, in order are the deputy chief examiner of the township examination, the right attendant of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, Sun Ling, the Nanjing Inspector Geng Xiang, the Nanjing Guozi Priest Jiu Jinda, Ying Tianfu Yin Sun Piyang, and Nanjing Zuo Du Yushi Liu Siwen, the deputy envoy of the Nanjing military garrison Xia Shi, and the Nanjing household servant Huang He. Except for Shen Mo who was in the right position, the rest of the people did not sit according to their ranks. There is only one situation in officialdom that is like this, that is, these people are friends in the same year - the eight of them are the Jinshi of the Bingchen Branch in the 35th year of Jiajing, in addition, they are all members of the Qionglin Society, and the members of the club in the same year are naturally very cordial, and there is no need to talk about any rules.

These people turned out to be above the fourth grade, concentrated in Nanjing, and in the same year, it was definitely not accidental, but the result of Shen Mo spending a lot of money in exchange for Yang Bo...... Shen Mo and his staff had already expected that the melee in the capital would not stop for a short time, and it would be a kind of luck to be able to avoid the cannibalistic whirlpool far away, and be a flower royal history and a bird walker in the southern capital?

Of course, the same year knew this, but when they met, they still had to tease him, and asked Shen Ge Lao why he was calling for wind and rain in the capital, but he wanted to hang his brothers on the bank of the Qinhuai River and be accompanied by the song and the painting boat?

"Am I here too?" Shen Mo smiled and said: "Beijing is really not a place for people to stay now, Duanfu and Junze not only envy us." "Duanfu and Junze are the words of Zhu Dashou and Wu Dui respectively.

"What about Xu Wenchang?" Although Sun Ling's complexion was not good, he was still very excited to see Shen Mo-

Partition -

Well, two hundred votes, will there be a change tomorrow, don't pity me just because I'm a delicate flower......
