Chapter 290: No Excuses

Chapter 290

Zhengde smiled and said, "Yes, little Jinzi, tell him." ”

Liu Jin bowed and said: "In fact, it is not difficult to maintain the normal and effective operation of the yamen, it is nothing more than the ability of personnel, with capable subordinates, you can get twice the result with half the effort, and the affairs of the yamen will be in order, the difference between capable people and mediocre officials must not be said by our family, and Lord Song will also understand." ”

Song Nan smiled and asked: "Gonggong Liu said incisively, I am not very familiar with the characters in the Jinyi Wei Yamen, but I don't know if those people are capable people?" ”

Liu Jin said: "Our family is not here to find fault with your Jinyi Wei Yamen, but since the emperor has spoken, I will risk offending people to say something, and please don't blame the slave and maid for talking too much, and Lord Song should not blame our family for being upright." ”

Zhengde grabbed a watermelon and took a bite of it, and said vaguely: "It's okay to talk about it, I won't blame you, Song Nan won't blame you, we have all experienced life and death together, what else is there to worry about." ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "What the emperor said is that Gonggong Liu asked for advice or two. ”

Liu Jin said: "Then our family will go straight to the straight, Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi Zhen Fu Sun Xuan is an unsuitable candidate, this person has been mixed in the North Town Fusi Yamen for many years, when Mu Bin was the commander, he bent on flattering Mu Bin, in fact, he is an incapable person; The case of the last official department also lifted his old bottom, he once asked to hire the daughter of Cui Xiu, the former servant of the ministry, and he was old enough to be Cui Xiu's father, which was really indecent; What do you think such a person can do, this kind of person should not hold an important position in the Jinyi Guard Yamen; Shi Wenyi mentioned this matter when he was the commander, but when the emperor went on patrol, he did not report it to the emperor. ”

Zhengde asked, "Is Sun Xuan such a person?" ”

Liu Jin bowed down and said, "How dare the slave and maid tell nonsense, Lord Song also knows about this." ”

Song Nan smiled and nodded, "I do know about this." ”

Zhengde said: "How can such a person be appointed as the commander of Nanzhen Fusi?" ”

Song Nan said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not so strict, Sun Zhenfu begged to hire a woman from a good family as a wife after losing his wife, this is not a fault, my fair lady and gentleman are good, Sun Zhenfu was only in his thirties ten years ago, although the daughter of the Cui family is only sixteen years old, but one is to make the king have no wife and the other is to have no husband, it is a matter of course, why is Gonggong Liu so fussed?" As far as the minister knows, Sun Zhenfu is diligent in his official affairs and is also very familiar with the affairs of the yamen. ”

Zhengde was stunned, these two people praised and depreciated, but they were confused.

Liu Jin said with a displeased face: "Lord Song wants to listen to our family's opinions, but he doesn't believe in our family, but our family can't do anything. ”

Song Nan smiled and thought to himself: Who the hell did you find to blame yourself?

Zhengde suddenly said: "Song Nan, now that you are in charge of the general office, the position of Beizhen Fusi Zhenfu is vacant, and Zhang Chen, the commander of the Han general in Xinping Fort, has also donated his life, these two positions must be filled by competent people, Liu Jin recommended two competent candidates, I also think it is appropriate, can you see if it can be combined?" ”

Song Nan's heart is bright, Liu Jin is going to put a nail on his side, no wonder he is so active in making ideas for himself, taking advantage of his absence, he first proposed a candidate with Zhengde, and let Zhengde pressure him to agree; Beizhen Fusi Yamen and the Han General are in charge, hehe, what a big breath, if the two most important positions in the Jinyi Guard Yamen are seized by Liu Jin's people, then his own commander can be regarded as half a puppet.

"Which two?" Song Nan couldn't ignore Zhengde Tiyì, he wanted to confirm his judgment.

"Hmm...... One is called Yang Yu, and the other is called ...... Called...... "Zhengde can't remember."

"It's called Channing." Liu Jin reminded: "Yang Yu is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the old man in the Jinyi Guard, and he is very familiar with the affairs of the Jinyi Guard's yamen. Mu Bin was suppressed when he was in office, which was unfair to such a person, so the slave recommended him. ”

Zhengde sighed and said: "I know that case, I was still the prince at that time, and Yang Tinghe came to the East Palace to talk about this case, and warned me to strictly grasp the principles of the rule of the officials." ”

Song Nan frowned and wanted to search for this person in his mind, there was a commander in the general office of Jinyi Wei, two commanders and two commanders, and they were also officials. But he has never seen this Yang Yu, when Mu Bin was in office, he also frequently went in and out of the general office, but he had never seen Yang Yu, but the other two acquaintances had met several times; When Shi Wenyi took over, he was extinct in the general office, and he would not stay long if he went once in a while, it seems that this Yang Yu must have been promoted by Shi Wenyi; Liu Jin said that he was the commander last year, I'm afraid it's nonsense.

"This Qian Ning, the emperor should be very familiar with it, this person also went with him on this tour, and he was originally a knife officer by the emperor's side; Although Her Royal Highness the princess broke through to Song Nan this time, it was this Qian Ning who rode a horse and took the lead with the slave maid, which attracted the attention of the Tartar soldiers, and the Song Lord took the princess to break through, and the slave and maid reported to the emperor in Ulzhou, does the emperor still remember? ”

Song Nan almost jumped up, he robbed two horses that day, Qian Ning and Liu Jin pretended to be dead on the ground and grabbed one of the horses while they were unprepared, and they also planned to secretly seek an opportunity to inform Zhengde about this matter, but I didn't expect this matter to come to Liu Jin's mouth in order to lure away the Tartar's idea for himself, and it became a heroic act to protect the lord by robbing the horse for his life.

Song Nan really wanted to jump up and give Liu Jin two big mouths, but seeing that Zhengde had already believed it, he had to hold back and not speak, Zhengde was not present in this matter, with Zhengde's protection of Liu Jin, he was afraid that Zhengde would not believe it if he told the truth, but he was suspected of framing Liu Jin, although several guards around him were present to witness it, but it was not unreasonable to say that it was to lure away the Tartar soldiers, it can only be said that Liu Jin is too cunning, and it is not wise to make a fuss about this matter.

"O loyal servant, how can such a man who gave his life to the Savior not be exalted and rewarded? This Qian Ningzhen thinks that he can take over the post of the commander of the Han general, so Yang Yu can take over the post of the Beizhen Fusi, what do you think, Song Nan? Zhengde asked.

"Lord Song will naturally agree, these two candidates are the best choices, and the emperor has bothered to take on the new role for Lord Song, so Lord Song should not be very honored." Liu Jin was half smug and half ridiculous.

Song Nan frowned, of course he didn't want to refute Zhengde's face in person, but if he compromised on this matter, how could he still be the commander of this Jinyi Guard? Liu Jin's intentions are clearly revealed, seeing that the Jinyi Guard Yamen has fallen into his hands, how can Liu Jin be willing to rest? If you agree today, you will naturally not succeed, and if you don't agree, you will not give face to Zhengde, which is really a dilemma.

"Your Majesty." Song Nan opened his mouth and said: "The minister should not be the commander of this brocade guard, please choose another master." ”

Zhengde frowned and said, "Why do you say such things again?" ”

Song Nan said: "The minister can feel that the emperor is not at ease with the minister's appointment as the commander. ”

Zhengde was stunned and said, "Why did I say that? ”

Song Nan said: "The emperor naturally didn't say it, but the emperor's behavior can be felt by the ministers, if the emperor is not at ease to hand over this burden to the ministers, how can he worry about the selection of people in the yamen for the ministers?" Don't you think that the minister is not capable of keeping the Jinyi Guard Yamen running normally? ”

Zhengde said with his mouth half-open: "I ...... I don't have that idea, I and Liu Jin just want to recommend some competent people for you, why do you think so? ”

Liu Jin also lowered his face and said, "Lord Song, are you vomiting with the emperor?" The emperor's heart of love has become a reason for your hypocrisy in your mouth, which is really ridiculous. ”

Song Nan sneered: "The emperor appointed me as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, how the Jinyi Guard Yamen operates is my business, if I am ineffective and incompetent, I will take the blame and resign, but there is no need for Gonggong Liu to recommend candidates for me." Gonggong Liu was in charge of the inner court and was distracted to worry about my Jinyi Wei Yamen, and he was very grateful; I appreciate your kindness, so I don't bother. ”

Liu Jin blushed and said, "You ...... You really don't know how to lift. Your Majesty, you see, we have a good heart, and if people don't appreciate it, they will cause ridicule. ”

Zhengde said unhappily: "Song Nan, what's wrong with you?" ”

Song Nan said: "Your Majesty, the minister just wants to manage the yamen with his own strength, in fact, I have already thought about the candidate, if the emperor believes me, let the minister do it, if the emperor feels that the minister is not worthy of this responsibility, please issue an order to remove me from my position, the minister just wants to experience himself, everything depends on the emperor for my cāo heart, what kind of bad should the minister be, what kind of official do you do?" ”

Zhengde smacked his lips and said: "So you think so, but I and Liu Jin have a lot of troubles, so since I appointed you, it's up to you to decide; Song Nan, I think there is something wrong between you and Liu Jin, what happened to the two of you? I'm the only one I can trust the two. ”

Song Nan hurriedly said: "The emperor is too careful, the minister and Gonggong Liu are very good, it's just a matter of official business, you don't know the minister's temper, let the emperor worry, it's really damned." ”

Liu Jin also said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid never have a problem with anyone, the slave and maid only want to serve the emperor well, and when they encounter disrespect to the emperor, they will naturally speak politely, but they are not in front of Lord Song alone." ”

Zhengde sighed and said: "That's good, you two are good for me, if I know that the two of you are secretly tearing each other down, I won't follow." ”

Song Nan and Liu Jin hurriedly said, "Don't dare." ”

Zhengde seemed to be a little angry, waved his hand and said: "You can decide the affairs of your yamen yourself, I naturally believe in your ability, you can save me from the army unscathed, I have no reason not to believe you; I'm also worrying about it, it's just that, I'm going to take a nap, Song Nan, the imperial sister wants to thank you in person, you can speak, I'm gone. ”

Song Nan bowed and said, "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

Liu Jin followed Zhengde to the door with a gloomy face, and suddenly turned around and leaned into Song Nan's ear and said, "Lord Song, congratulations." ”

Song Nan said lightly: "Thank you father-in-law, the Jinyi Wei Yamen will have to worry about my father-in-law in the future." ”

Liu Jin smiled and said: "Our family is not congratulating you on your promotion, our family has another thing to congratulate you Lord Song." ”

Song Nan was stunned and said, "Another thing?" What's up? ”

Liu Jin secretly glanced at the princess sitting on the cool floor and said meaningfully: "Lord Song, how about our family protect the big media for you?" ”

Song Nan's body shook and said, "You ......"

Liu Jin smiled and said, "Don't thank me, it's within our family's business...... Hahaha. ”

Liu Jin smiled proudly, turned around and went out, chasing Zhengde.
