On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it snowed overnight last night, and when I got up in the morning, the sky became clear, and early in the morning, there was a sound of firecrackers everywhere in Beijing, and Liu Chengfeng got up very early, and took the two ladies to worship the ancestral hall in the house, and went to the hall to prepare for the reception.

Every New Year, all the officials stop their official duties, and this time is not only a time to rest, but also a time to make relationships.

Countless famous thorns have been passed on to the houses of various families, and the relationship between teachers and students, fellow villagers, and colleagues is the link of contact, especially this year, both the cabinet and the pro-military have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the visit on the first day of the new year has become a question related to the future.

Whether to vote for Liu Jian or to Liu Ji first, these very detailed little things are related to vital interests, so everyone was pondering on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and they were all uncertain, and they made a decision after hesitating left and right.

Liu Chengfeng also has a lot of people to visit, Liu Chengfeng is very happy, if there is a female dependent, let the two ladies greet each other, if it is a man, he will go to the lobby to meet guests, everyone calls him Liu nerd, is to say that Liu Chengfeng's surname is too perverse, moody, but today no matter who comes to visit, Liu Chengfeng's attitude is very kind.

When it was almost noon, Li Dongdong rushed over, Liu Chengfeng smiled and invited him to sit in the inner hall, this inner hall is not everyone can enter, not a person who has a relationship with each other or a close relative, usually in the outer hall or the flower hall to meet guests, but Li Dongdong's face at the moment is not very good, and hurriedly said: "Didn't the Hou Ye hear the wind?" ”

"The wind? What wind? After maintaining a smile for a long time, Liu Chengfeng's facial muscles were about to twitch, and he finally relaxed at this time, but he was confused by Li Dongdong's unexplained question.

Li Dongdong immediately said, the news he was going to say, not everyone in this Beijing division can know, if you don't pay attention to inquiring, no one will be able to notice, so he said: "The news has been released, Liu Gong and my clan brother are supporting Mu Bin and Lord Mu to be promoted to the commander of the pro-army, and the clan brother has drawn up a legato book." But Dongchang and Liu Ji seem to have other thoughts, these two are both interested in Wu Quan, the commander of the flag guard, Wu Quan's status is higher than that of Mou's commander, and he is also quite prestigious among the pro-army, this time with the support of Liu Ji and Dongchang, he has now become the most popular figure. The pro-army is going to visit him today to congratulate him on the New Year. ”

Flag Bearer ......

Liu Chengfeng, as a pro-army, of course knows some things within the pro-army, the twelve guards of the pro-army, and the duties of the Jinyi Guard are the most special, because the rest of the guards and pro-armies are all protecting the Forbidden City, although there are countless errands in it, but Jinyiwei is an official who can even arrest and interrogate criminals to find out the news. However, the Bannermen also have their special status among the Twelve Guards, and their responsibilities are also very clear - to guard the pro-army.

To put it bluntly, he is the Ministry of Rites in the imperial court, although he usually does not use it, but every time the imperial court sacrifices the ceremony, only the captain of the flag guard is responsible for the protection of the sacrifice, the sacrifice and other errands. Don't underestimate this errand, for the imperial court, nothing is polite, just like the court's Ministry of Rites, don't look at the power is not as good as the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Soldiers or even the Ministry of Punishment, but when it comes to the status of respect, the Ministry of Rites is the first of the six well-deserved, so that many of the court's Ministry of Rites and Books in the past dynasties are directly served by the cabinet scholars.

The same is true for the flag guard, in the garrison palace, they are not as good as Jin Wuwei, Yu Lin Wei, Fu Jun Wei, Hu Ben Wei and other guards, the right is not as good as the Jinyi Guard, but its status in the twelve guards of the pro-army is real, the commander of the flag guard has always been the imperial court after the left and right before appointing, the requirements for the commander are virtuous and courteous, it can be seen that the imperial court attaches great importance to this flag guard.

Now the commander of the flag guard is naturally not willing to be lonely, since there is someone to support him, his qualifications in the pro-army are a few points older than Mu Bin, coupled with the special status of the identity, he is naturally gearing up.

According to Li Dongdong, six or seven commanders of the pro-army went to pay New Year's greetings to Wu Quan early this morning, and more than half of the 12 guards of the pro-army actually expressed their attitude to Wu Quan, which also shows that this Wu Quan is a very capable person, at least among the pro-army, the mass base is excellent.

On the other hand, the commander of Jinyiwei Mu Bin is dwarfed, so far, it is only two commanders who have visited him, that is, inside Jinyiwei, the godson of Dongchang and Chen Rang, and Liu Xingxing, another co-knowledge of Liu Jisai, did not hesitate to shoot Wu Quan's ass.

Before the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mu Bin fell into disadvantage, which can be described as disgraced.

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, Mu Bin at this time must have felt bad in his heart, he was still full of ambition, but now he was directly splashed with a basin of cold water, but he was afraid that his heart would be cold.

In fact, it's no wonder that Mu Bin is not enough, and it's no wonder that Liu Jian doesn't support him enough, it's really Jinyiwei's reputation is not good, plus within the pro-army, Jinyiwei and other guards have few places to deal with, so there is no friendship, on the other hand, Wu Quan is good at dancing with long sleeves, and the spring breeze is proud, to put it bluntly, the other eleven guards communicate more with each other, everyone is an acquaintance with each other, and if you want to praise it, of course, you have to praise your own acquaintances, as for Mu Bin, who knows?

"If there is too much gossip in the pro-army, I am afraid that it is the full support of the clan brothers, and Liu Gong is secretly planning for him, and it will be difficult for Commander Mu to go further." Li Dongdong said: "There must be taboos in this area in the palace, but it is a pity for Commander Mu, there is indeed great hope this time, and he has always wanted to go to the pro-army yamen, this matter must be known to Lord Liu." ”

Liu Chengfeng nodded, what Li Dongdong said was not wrong, Mu Bin's mind really didn't want to stay in Jinyiwei, but wanted to go to the pro-army yamen more. Mu Bin's surname is not strong, and he is not easy to win, this place of Jinyiwei is the focus of competition between all parties, if the first emperor is there, the commander of Jinyiwei is indeed very comfortable, but in the Hongzhi Dynasty, for people like Mu Bin, this Jinyiwei commander not only does not do aggrieved, but also tastes like chewing wax, it is better to go to the pro-army yamen more comfortable.

Liu Chengfeng was silent for a moment and said, "Is there any meaning in Commander Mu's envoy over there?" ”

Li Dongdong said: "Commander Mu just gave a note to his brother, and the meaning is also very ambiguous, saying that if he can fight for it, he will fight for it, and if he can't fight for it, he can only do so." I think he means that he really wants to go to the pro-army yamen, but because of this situation, I am afraid that it will be made fun of him when the time comes. ”

Liu Chengfeng said lightly: "To tell the truth, I Liu Chengfeng can have today, Commander Mu has also helped a lot, if it weren't for his protection in the past few years, with my surname, I am afraid that I don't know how many times I have been rectified, although Commander Mu may not be completely out of good intentions, and also has his own plans, but now that people are in trouble, I have no reason to be indifferent." ”

Liu Chengfeng paused for a moment and continued: "In my opinion, the emperor's side also belongs to Commander Mou, and the most important thing now is to let people see the connections in the pro-army, and it is not impossible for people to think that Commander Mu makes people hate dogs, and this matter is not impossible." ”

Li Dongdong said: "What do you have in mind? ”

Liu Chengfeng said with a smile: "The idea is there, but it also has to be done by Commander Mou over there, it's better to do this, you and I will go to Commander Mou's side now, one to pay New Year's greetings to him, and the other to see what he means." ”

Liu Chengfeng thought of it and did it, immediately went to change his clothes, and then went out with Li Dongdong, passing by a house on the way, and saw that the door was like a market outside, it was very lively, Li Dongdong sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain and said: "Lord Hou, please see, this is the house of Wu Quan, there are really a lot of people who pay New Year's greetings today." ”

Walk further, turn a few streets and arrive at Mu Bin's house, although there are some people coming and going, but compared with Wu Quan's grand occasion, it is really a world of difference, the two handed over the famous thorn, after a while, Mu Bin actually came out to greet him in person, presumably Mu Bin is also very distressed now, finally someone came to visit, he is very grateful, regardless of whether these two are his subordinates, he will be polite first.

The three of them exchanged greetings for a moment at the middle gate, and Mu Bin led the two into the flower hall to sit, Liu Chengfeng glanced at Mu Bin, Mu Bin's face was not very good, and even a little ashamed of himself. And Liu Chengfeng's arrival finally saved Mu Bin's face.

Mu Bin smiled bitterly and said: "It's rare that there are still people who are worried about the old man, come, serve tea to Liu Yanshi and Mr. Li." ”

Li Dongdong smiled faintly and said, "Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite, we just came here to sit here for a while." ”

Mu Bin's face turned pale and said, "What, you refuse to eat the old man's tea?" ”

Liu Chengfeng hurriedly played a round and said, "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient for adults." ”

Mu Bin shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said with his hand on the table: "It's nothing inconvenient, no one is here anyway, it's your intention to come, the old man knows that his popularity is so bad this time." ”

After that, I can't help but sigh.

Liu Chengfeng and Li Dongdong couldn't help but look at each other, this brocade guard leader was really stimulated, in fact, Liu Chengfeng can still understand this mood, people live with a face.
