"Father-in-law Xing, can you ask one more question?" Meng Yan felt that he was confused about his promotion.

At the age of eighteen, he is a fourth-rank official, which is also unique in the history of Jinyiwei, and those relatives who directly inherit the official position of Jinyiwei do not have this treatment after that, right?

Even if it is directly hereditary, he was in charge of Nanya at the age of eighteen, and such a great power is incredible.

"Lord Meng, you don't have to be so polite to our family, our family will have to work together under Master Meng for a while!" Xing'an is very polite, not half arrogant.

Xing'an is also an old man in the palace, although his status is not high, his qualifications are not small, and he usually acts fairly, and he is cautious in his words and deeds, so he is still very prestigious in the palace.

"Xia Guan took over as the envoy of Nanya Town, what about the original Lord Du Chongdu?" Meng Yan asked.

"Master Du has other arrangements, and we don't know exactly where he will go." Hung Yen Road.

"Father-in-law Xing, this saint has risen to the lower official to be the envoy of the Nanya Town, but he has given the subordinate a messenger, how should the affairs of the Nanya be handled?"

"Our family doesn't know this, Master Meng, you can go to Master Guo to discuss, he is your father-in-law, this matter is not so difficult for you."

"Father-in-law Xing, the lower official is going to have a big business trip when he speaks, and he is promoted at this time, to be honest, I am really a little worried!"

"Master Meng doesn't need to be worried, since you are the official of the Holy Promotion, then do what you should do in a down-to-earth manner, and you don't need to worry about anything else!"

"Yes, thank you Gonggong Xing for your advice!" Meng Yan's eyes lit up, although Xing'an didn't say it explicitly, he gave him a point in his words.

The official who promoted him was the emperor's arbitrary decision. Maybe even Wang Zhen didn't discuss, which is extraordinary.

There are not many people in the palace who can influence the emperor, the Queen Mother and Wang Zhen are the first choices, and there are fewer of the rest.

Queen Qian is counted as one, and the other concubines in the palace dare not interfere in politics. Otherwise, it would be doomed.

Meng Yan really couldn't think of why the emperor would suddenly promote him to an official.

No, if this matter is not clarified, he will feel uneasy.

"Brother Xiaochao, prepare the horse. Follow me to Nanya! Meng Yan sent Xing'an away, thinking about it, he had to go to his father-in-law for an idea.

"Drive!"

Meng Yan and Guo Xiaochao galloped all the way, non-stop, and rushed to Nanya!

"See Master Meng under the mark!"

"Hurry up, please. Meng Yan really didn't dare to be! As soon as I entered the Nanya gate, the brocade guards at the door knelt down on one knee and saluted.

Meng Yan was sweating hotly, it was obvious that the news of his promotion to the envoy of Nanya Town had already reached Nanya, otherwise these Jinyi guards would not be so respectful to themselves as they are now.

If they are going to be the hall officials of this Nanya, they are in a high position, how can they not have a trace of awe.

Above the officialdom, from the fifth to the fourth. That's a hurdle, crossed over, second grade. Three products are promising.

If you can't cross it, you can only die of old age in Wupin's office.

Many officials will stop at the five grades, and put them at the local level, that is, the first prefect has done it, and if they want to be the officials of the feudal territory and the officials of the six departments, this gap must be crossed.

Of course. It is much more difficult for a civilian official to advance than a military attaché, and a military attache only needs to have military merits. There are people above, and promotion is not a big problem.

Therefore, the military attaches of the Ming Dynasty were two or three levels lower than the civilian officials. A serious fourth-rank military attaché, such as a guard commander, is sometimes not as good as a seventh-rank patrol to supervise the imperial history!

In terms of power, the power to supervise the imperial history is far greater than that of the commander, which is determined by the political system of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the old Zhu family who is afraid that the military generals will be domineering and rebel, and use civil servants to control the military generals.

There is a way to show talent and rebel, and it will not be successful in three years, so as long as the world is peaceful, it is not impossible to use Wenchen to control the generals.

Now the Hongwu period of the group of generals and nobles who followed Emperor Chengzu to fight the country are still alive, most of them still have military power, although Wenchen wants to govern the empire according to his own ideas, control the power of the empire, but can't do it, it's in a hurry, and there will be chaos if it is not done.

"Stone, my lord is waiting for you in the study, you can go over quickly." Lao Da hurriedly greeted him and said to Meng Yan.

"Got it, Uncle Da." Meng Yan took three steps and made two steps, and walked briskly towards the courtyard of Guo Nu's duty room.

The courtyard was empty, and even Lao Da didn't come in.

Meng Yan walked over a little apprehensively, came to the door, stretched out his hand and knocked lightly.

"Come in!" A hoarse-sounding voice came out, and I could hear a trace of tiredness in the heart of the person who made it.

Meng Yan pushed open the door and walked in with his feet raised.

What he saw was a back, a familiar back that could not be more familiar, but this back looked like a sense of vicissitudes.

"Father-in-law!"

"Stone, you're here!" Guo Nu didn't look back, his eyes were red, he didn't want to show his vulnerable side in front of Meng Yan.

"Father-in-law, I didn't expect that the Holy Lord would suddenly promote me to an official, and he also mentioned the position of Nanya Zhenfu Envoy." Meng Yan Road.

"Do you know why the Holy Lord suddenly promoted you to be the commander of Nanya?" Meng Yan asked.

"The son-in-law doesn't know!"

"I've been in charge of Nanya for ten years, and that's long enough, no matter who is in this position, the saint will no longer trust him."

"Why?"

"Because in this position, he knows too many secrets that he shouldn't know." Guo Nu sighed and said.

Meng Yan was silent, what Guo Nu said was not unreasonable, a person has been in such an important position for ten years, then as a superior, he is indeed a little uneasy, after all, this position has too many secrets.

Even if Guo Nu is a person who can be trusted by the emperor, as an emperor, as long as it does not meet his ideas, he will never be soft if he should take it out.

"But in this position, am I not the same as you?" Meng Yan asked rhetorically, he is Guo Nu's son-in-law, what is the difference between him sitting in this position and Guo Nu personally taking charge of Nanya?

"In my opinion, there is not much difference, but in the eyes of the saint, you are you and I am me, even if you are my son-in-law. That can't be a person either! Guo Nu said solemnly.

"Holy Lord, this is to fight for power between our sons-in-law?" Meng Yan said strangely, Zhu Qizhen should not have such a deep scheming.

"That's pretty much what it means."

"But this doesn't make sense, we are now a family, even if the son-in-law is in charge of Nanya, you are still the commander of the Jinyi Guard?" Meng Yan couldn't understand. "Also, even if the Holy Lord trusts the little son-in-law, it is impossible for him to suddenly put such great power into my hands?"

"You want to know why?"

"The son-in-law received the holy decree and came over immediately!"

"According to the news in the palace, your promotion this time is related to the Empress Dowager Sun." Guo Nu said slowly.

"Empress Dowager Sun......" Meng Yan felt a little weird, which was too unbelievable. If you follow normal thinking, even if Empress Dowager Sun does not suppress him, she will never help him.

You must know that the death of his biological mother is closely related to this grandson. The grievances and hatreds in the palace back then, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to pass.

What's more, now that his son is in power and is in power, if there is really one who comes out to compete with his son, she will definitely kill him.

Even if he doesn't have that idea, and there is basically no hope of restoring his identity, if Emperor Daxing is alive. Maybe it's possible.

Now that Zhu Qizhen has been the emperor for ten years, if he didn't have his own ability, he would be instigated by Wang Zhen to recruit himself. So much so that he was captured, and he would have sat down with this emperor.

The emperor didn't say that he could change it, especially since the Ming Dynasty had only walked a third of the way, and it was relatively clear at the moment.

Before the time to change the dynasty, the general trend of history cannot be changed, even if Meng Yan knew about the battle of Tumubao four years later. He didn't stand much of a chance either.

At least the emperor had a younger brother, the cunzài of the king of Yu. The ministers would never support a person with an unknown background as the emperor.

Therefore, Meng Yan did not have the intention of usurping, but he had the heart of defense. Because he knows the cruelty of the struggle for imperial power, once his identity is exposed, even if it is suspicious, he and Zhu Qizhen are enemies, and when the time comes, even if Zhu Qizhen is merciful and does not kill him, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will have no place to stand.

Therefore, he is preparing for a rainy day, but he can't tell anyone these secrets, he can only hide them in his own psyche.

He wants to use the power in his hands now to establish his own strength, whether it is to stay in Daming or be forced to leave the country in the end, he always has a preparation.

Let others slaughter, he will never be able to do it!

Empress Dowager Sun actually said that the emperor would promote his official son, and put him in such an important position as the envoy of Jinyi Wei Nanyazhen.

This is by no means appreciated and promoted, but rather a rather dangerous signal!

His identity, Empress Dowager Sun was only suspicious, there was no conclusive evidence, and she didn't dare to mention it to the emperor.

Once he says it, according to the emperor's character, he may really explore his true identity.

If one's identity is determined, the situation is different.

And he will be very embarrassed.

At that time, the unknown pickles of the Empress Dowager Sun in the palace will also be exposed one by one.

As a mother, she will never let her son know how many hurtful things this mother has done.

So the queen will not say it.

Thinking of Bai Suxin's father, as well as Shi Jing, the commander of the horse, these are all people who are close to Jingci Immortal Master.

One sent someone to go undercover for many years, and the other was imprisoned for two years for such a small mistake as insulting the eunuch.

and the death of his father Meng Xian nine years ago, although he did not continue to investigate in depth, but Meng Xian's death is inseparable from the Sun family.

Kill!

This is definitely a killing, and in addition, Meng Yan can't think of what the purpose of Empress Sun's move is.

This woman is definitely not easy to deal with, she can take away her biological mother's queen position, and her scheming is by no means something ordinary women have.

What did Empress Sun say to the emperor, Meng Yan had no way of knowing, and this mother and son were talking behind closed doors, and outsiders had no way of knowing.

But what is certain is that what Empress Sun said to Zhu Qizhen was not her sincere words, at least the purpose of what she said was not pure.

Perhaps, only when she dies can she have complete peace of mind.

This is a dead knot that cannot be untied, unless the queen suddenly dies, and this public case sinks to the bottom forever.

But according to Meng Yan's limited historical knowledge, Sun Hou still has many years to live. (To be continued) R580
