On the day of March, the sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, the sky is so blue, the spring breeze is so soft, the birds sing so pleasantly, busy and leisurely, a pot of tea, a few snacks, sit and watch the clouds unfold and relax, that is called enjoying life.

However, not everyone can enjoy life, for example, Yu Jin can't.

Zhu Xizhong was met in the back garden, not in the lobby of the outer house, Yu Jin had some surprises in his heart, thinking that he was valued, but as soon as he arrived in the back garden, he immediately broke this illusion.

The most noble commander of the brocade guard of the Ming generation was sleeping on a luxurious chaise longue, and there were four young and beautiful maidservants next to him to fan him and repel mosquitoes.

It's corrupt.

So, Yu Jin could only wait quietly on the side, waiting for the commander to wake up by himself, as for the third butler, he just brought people and quietly retreated.

Obviously summoned himself, but he fell asleep before he arrived, was this unintentional or intentional to test his patience? Yu Jin didn't think about it, anyway, he could do whatever he wanted, who called himself a little person.

The little people have to have the consciousness of the little people.

About half an hour later, Zhu Xizhong, who was sleeping on the recliner, suddenly sat up and yawned.

"Yu Jin, see the commander." Yu Jin had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as he saw this Zhu commander wake up, he immediately saluted him.

If you don't salute and say that this guy turns over and continues to sleep, then don't you have to wait?

Zhu Xizhong didn't speak, a waiter brought a cup of fragrant tea, and when Yu Jin thought he was going to drink tea, he didn't expect him to just hold it in his mouth for a while, and then spit it in a delicate porcelain basin.

It turned out to be just a mouth after getting up, and the life of this prince was really luxurious.

"Get up." After finishing speaking, Zhu Xizhong asked unhurriedly.

"Master Xie."

Zhu Xizhong saw Yu Jin for the first time, it was not bad, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, gentle and elegant, standing in front of him, he looked neither humble nor arrogant, with a faint smile on his face, what a handsome young man.

When I saw it, I felt a sense of intimacy, and casually ordered: "Give me a seat." ”

Yu Jin hurriedly said: "The commander is here, how can there be a small seat, don't dare, don't dare." ”

"You don't want your lord to talk to you with his head held high, do you?"

"Thank you for the seat" Yu Jin didn't dare to let the commander talk to him with his head held high, and he didn't have so many flattering bones, so he thanked him, and then sat on an embroidered pier.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Jin also looked at this high-ranking and powerful prince, and saw that Zhu Xizhong was an old man who was nearly fifteen years old, with a square face and big ears, this is a good blessing for Daming, wearing a crimson purple robe, embroidered with a lion, this is the official uniform worn by a military attaché, majestic and friendly, with two mustaches on the side of his mouth, although he has a lot of gray hair, but his complexion is very good, and his complexion is white and red.

In particular, those eyes were blazing, as if they were going to penetrate people's hearts.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard is only the third grade, but Zhu Xizhong is still the commander of the 12th regiment battalion and the 5th military battalion, and he is 700 stone at the age of 700 stones, which is the treatment of a first-grade official, so he is qualified to wear a higher standard official uniform than the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

"Yu Jin"

"Subordinate in"

Zhu Xizhong said lightly: "Do you know why this official summoned you?" ”

I still want to ask you about this, just finished renovating the house, and before I lived for a day, I ran to Beijing in a hurry, and I was bleeding from riding a horse. What does this mean?

However, at least one thing is explained, this uncle is not mistaken, he is indeed summoning himself.

"My subordinates don't know." Yu Jin answered honestly.

"I heard that you are shrewd by nature and perceptive, so guess what the official is looking for you?"

This question, Yu Jin thought all the way, pecked the commander to find his own intentions, and already had the answer in his heart, and when he heard the words, he cautiously responded: "Could this be related to Lord Zhao of the Left Capital Imperial History?" ”

He is a small person, maybe he still has a little fame in Yuyao, and he is nothing when he comes out of Yuyao, and he will not be remembered by a big man like Zhu Xizhong, the only possibility is that he has something to do with Zhao Jin.

Zhao Jin, who served as the imperial history of the left capital, is a native of Yuyao, and he happens to be his fellow villager, and Zhao Jin favors himself and appreciates it very much, this Zhu Xizhong will not send himself to the side of this Zhao Yushi and do the same work as "Infernal Affairs".

It seems that this possibility is high.

"Not bad" Zhu Xizhong said with a smile: "This matter is indeed a little related to Zhao Yushi, but what I want you to do this time has nothing to do with Zhao Jin, but something else." ”

It's not to deal with Zhao Jin, Yu Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, this Zhao Jin is good, talented, approachable, and takes care of himself, and he also gave him a lot of books during the New Year, encouraging him to be studious and progressive, if he uses his trust to deal with him in turn, he is a little sorry for his conscience.

"Please make it clear." Yu Jin said respectfully.

Zhu Xizhong sat up suddenly, looked at Yu Jin and said with a straight face: "The reason why it is related to Zhao Jin is that this good fellow of yours recommended you to the new Right Chunfang Right Songde, so that you have the opportunity to study with King Yu, and the purpose of your trip is not to deal with him, but to enter King Yu's mansion." ”

Yu Jin noticed that when he said these confidential words, Zhu Xizhong did not retreat from his subordinates, and it is estimated that these subordinates are his henchmen.

"What do you mean by your lordship, let your subordinates stay by King Yu's side and see if there are any changes in the people around King Yu?" Yu Jin was able to understand it at one point, and immediately guessed Zhu Xizhong's intentions.

Jin Yiwei was originally a pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and he only served for the emperor, so he naturally would not monitor the future king in the palace of King Yu, so he naturally paid attention to the actions of those scholars and laid a chess piece in the civil official group.

It is also a good choice to alternate between the old and the new, looking for an opportunity to get closer to the new king in the future, and then get more imperial favor, and at this sensitive moment, Jiajing will also pay special attention to the movements of his successor, so this action is reasonable.

Zhao Jin never thought that his real identity as a scholar turned out to be a spy of Jinyiwei, and because of his recommendation, he suddenly became a hot figure.

The current cabinet chief assistant is Xu Jie, he is the backbone of the civil official group, and Zhang Juzheng is Xu Jie's proud disciple, working under Zhang Juzheng, this is a good opportunity.

"Not bad" Zhu Xizhong stood up and said happily: "You are very smart, this official likes to talk to smart people, this can save a lot of worry, for us Jinyiwei, this is a rare opportunity, as long as you do well, this official will not treat you badly." ”

Zhang Juzheng and Yuwang, these two are key figures in the future, if you hug their thighs, it will be difficult for you not to fly Huang Tengda, a few days ago I was thinking about how to hug a thigh, but I didn't expect such good luck to have the opportunity to enter Yuwang's Mansion.

The luck was so good that it was so good, no wonder he received a summons from the commander for no reason, and there was such an opportunity.

Yu Jin hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said, "Master Xie cultivates." ”

The commander Zhu Xizhong talked about this, and naturally he wanted to express his position, now he has the mark of Jinyiwei, and if he wants to take the position in the future, he has to find a backer, and now his wings are not hard and he can't fly.

Zhu Xizhong touched the eight-character beard on the side of his mouth, and said lightly: "Don't be in a hurry to thank you first, now the eight-character is a hand, wait until you successfully enter the Yuwang Mansion and make meritorious contributions." ”

"What do you mean?"

"According to the information received by this official, four people were originally recommended, and four more people were added later, a total of eight people, but there are only two places for entering the Yuwang Mansion, that is to say, these eight people still need to be screened by a round of assessment, you have to climb up, and you have to pass this level."

After that, Zhu Xizhong said very bluntly: "Wen Sheng said that you are very capable, but the official has not seen the side of what you can do, the official is a military general, and he is also a rough person, you literati can't speak, in a word, you can do things, protect your glory and wealth, you can't do things, where do you come from." ”

This is straightforward enough, Yu Jin also understands that the dignified prince and the commander of the Jinyi Guard will naturally not be polite to a small person, if it weren't for the rare opportunity and the fact that the position is very important, it is estimated that Zhu Xizhong would not have met him in person.

"My subordinates understand."

Zhu Xizhong had a good impression of Yu Jin, and patted him on the shoulder when he heard the words and said: "Of course, you are my Jinyiwei's person, this is a rare opportunity, and Jinyiwei will not stand idly by, but in the end, you have to rely on yourself, if you guess correctly, the people in charge of the assessment this time are Xu Jie, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, and the official will let people give you the preferences of these three people, do your homework, and be prepared for trouble." ”

"Master Xie."

"This time you are secretly entering Beijing, your identity should not be exposed, you don't need to come here again, and don't take the initiative to contact Jinyiwei, there are people in the capital who will answer you, and in a few days you will visit your good fellow villagers in the name of travel, and the rest, he will arrange it for you, okay, go."

Yu Jin didn't dare to slack off, respectfully saluted Zhu Xizhong, and then retreated, as soon as he went out, the carriage that sent him was still waiting at the side door, and after getting on the car, he went straight back to the original Taisheng Inn.

Back in a familiar room, it feels like a dream.

I didn't expect that such a small person as myself would suddenly talk face-to-face with a character like Guogong, enter and leave the Guogong Mansion, and meet the beautiful Sixth Lady, and there was an opportunity to carry out the core of power in the Ming Empire.

The ups and downs of life are too fast, and even Yu Jin, who is a second person, can't calm down for a while.
