3. Entering the capital for the first time

It was the middle of the night when he returned home with his father, Zhao Xuan saw that his mother was busy, and he was also a little disappointed in his heart, and he would no longer be able to accompany his father and mother in the future, and he didn't know when he would be able to return, thinking of this, Zhao Xuan lowered his head a little ashamedly.

This night, Zhao Xuan decided not to sleep to accompany the two of them, who let Zhao Xuan be their only son, the two of them only have Zhao Xuan's son now, thinking of this, Zhao Xuan also began to realize his unfilial piety

In this way, the time of the night passed quickly, and as soon as the day dawned, an official messenger came to Zhao Xuan's house to bring people, "Due to the lack of talents in the West Factory, I was ordered by my superiors to come and lead the man who was not yet the weak crown, your name is Zhao Xuan, don't worry, the West Factory will not treat you and your family badly, follow us, and there will be many benefits in the future." ”

"I know, since I didn't run away, I will go with you, that is, the official, can you wait, I want to say goodbye to my father, you can see if you can be accommodating." As he spoke, Zhao Xuan handed a pot of home-brewed wine from the early years to the official.

When the official opened the bottle and smelled it, wisps of mellow fragrance wafted out, which made people feel a little fluttering, and when he was intoxicated, the official saw that Zhao Xuan was still in front of him, and hurriedly closed the bottle, lowered his face, and straightened his clothes, "Ahem, it's easy to say, give you a quarter of an hour, and leave immediately after speaking." ”

"Okay, okay, the official will wait a while." After speaking, Zhao Xuan hurriedly ran to the Zhao couple.

"You stinky boy, for this quarter of an hour, you have taken such a bottle of my twenty-year-old good wine, alas! Forget it, when you make a fortune in the future, don't forget to let your father and mother live a good life. Dad Zhao wanted to be happy but couldn't say happily.

And Zhao Niang on the side was already crying, "Son, my mother will not be by your side in the future, you must take care of yourself, if you can, remember to write some letters from time to time to bring home, in this way, we are so relieved that we are at ease!" ”

"Yes, yes, look, I'm starting to forget about things at my age, thanks to your mother's memory, but you must send some letters home from time to time!"

"I know, Daddy, you can rest assured, my son will definitely come back in the future to repay you for your nurturing kindness." At this moment, Zhao Xuan's eyes also began to slowly shed tears without anger.

"Stinky boy, what are you crying about, you are going to serve the country, you should think about it, right! The man has two lines of tears, one line is the country, your father and mother are not dead yet" As he spoke, Zhao's father also began to cry

"Who is that, Zhao Xuan, a quarter of an hour has arrived, it's time to leave!" Speaking of which, the official did not forget to taste the wine that Zhao Xuan had just sent a quarter of an hour ago.

Hearing this, Zhao Xuan hurriedly wiped the tears on his face, "Got it, it's here." ”

Then he turned around and said to his father: "Father, the child is not filial, and he is gone." With that, Zhao Xuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his father.

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, son, go." In this way, Zhao Father and Zhao Niang watched Zhao Xuan go away.

Of course, the dignitaries of the West Factory will naturally give their families a little benefit, and the Zhao couple will get the benefit of tattooing twenty taels of silver.

In this way, Zhao Xuan followed the group of brothers who 'answered' together on the road

"Eh, big brother, what do you say we are doing in the West Factory? One by one, we can't be civil and military, so what's the use of us. "Taking advantage of the lunch time, Zhao Xuan chatted with the official who came to 'pick up' him.

"Who knows, we are just acting on orders, I can tell you, when you get to the West Factory, you can't talk nonsense about things that shouldn't be said, you can't ask things that shouldn't be asked, and you can't run around, when the time comes, otherwise you won't even know how to die." This official also read on the bottle of good wine that Zhao Xuan gave him, so he persuaded him, while the others sat honestly on the sidelines, eating the dry food prepared for them by their father and mother.

"The West Factory is so powerful, is it possible that there are organs everywhere inside?!" Speaking of this, Zhao Xuan remembered the martial arts novels he had seen in the private school before.

"It's not enough to be everywhere, but there are all masters in our West Factory, especially the headquarters, all of them are first-class masters, killing people without blood, that's not hearsay, it's just a pity, I have limited talent, just do some things to search for intelligence on the periphery, fortunately this time with this errand, not only can I drink the alcohol that is usually forbidden to drink, but I can also rest for two days." It may be that there are some tops, and the words of this official can't help but start to be a little more.

"Eh, by the way, I've been talking to you for a while, and I still don't know what your name is, big brother?" Zhao Xuan said jokingly.

"I, surnamed Wang Mingde, Zhao Xuan, let me tell you, as long as you serve our Ming Dynasty well in the future, Xichang will not treat you badly." It seems that Wang De is really a little drunk, and his speech is starting to be a little abnormal

After an hour or two, the group finally arrived at the capital at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

"Eh, Brother Wang, tell me what our West Factory does!" Zhao Xuan asked while looking at the stalls on the side of the road.

"This, let me tell you the origin of our West Factory first!" At this moment, Wang De's wine strength also passed, and he began to tell Zhao Xuan about the origin of the West Factory.

In the twelfth year of Chenghua, Li Zilong, a traitor at that time, was famous for his "Zuo Dao" and had a lot of cronies in the court. With the help of his cronies, Li Zilong had the opportunity to go deep into the inner palace and observe in places such as Banzai Mountain. Although its true meaning is not known, it is rumored that Li Zilong intended to kill the king, and was discovered by the captain of the Jinyi Guard, and Li Zilong surrendered to the law. In order to avoid similar things from happening again, Song Xianzong Zhao Qing wanted to know the movements of the ministers outside the palace, so he ordered the eunuch Li Ping to choose someone from the Jinyi guard to disguise himself as a commoner and go out of the palace to serve. This reconnaissance disguised as a common man was not successful, so Xianzong organized the West Factory, headed by Li Ping, and selected members from the Jinyi Guard. In the eighteenth year of Chenghua, Xianzong learned of Li Ping's evil deeds, so he issued an order to abolish our West Factory. Later, in order to suppress the minister's admonition to him, our Song Wuzong briefly returned to Xichang, and the eunuch who was one of the "Eight Tigers" is now our Gu Daren Gu Dahong as the commander. ”

"Wow, it turns out that there is such an unknown thing in our West Factory!" Zhao Xuan said stupidly, after listening to this reason, Zhao Xuan felt that he was about to have a big accident.

"Brother Zhao, let me tell you, that is, our brothers have a good relationship, if it were someone else, I wouldn't tell them!" As he spoke, Wang De also glanced at the other people, for fear that the few people under his hand would lose the rest of the people.

"It's over, this time it's a big disaster, this hasn't even arrived at the West Factory headquarters to start knowing things that shouldn't be known, I hope that Lord Gu must not know!" Although he thought so in his heart, Zhao Xuan still hurriedly said yes to Wang De's words, for fear that he would make Wang De unhappy before he arrived at the West Factory, and then kill himself with a knife.

"It's not time to hand over people yet, go, Brother Zhao, I'll invite you to drink two glasses, a few of you, take them to have some food."

"Yes!"

In this way, the two groups of people went to different places.
