The marquis of the regimental camp looked nervous, clenched their fists, and planned to make a big move, asking the emperor to give a reason for dismissal, and even did not hesitate to resign collectively as a threat; Although the cabinet does not play this trick, the relatives play this trick for sure.

The connection between the family of Xun Qi and the royal family is inextricably linked, and the military power of the Beijing camp has long been held in the hands of Xun Qi, which is the basic attitude of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to the Xun Qi group, as the interest alliance of the Ming Dynasty, the interdependent relationship between the two is the premise of the stability of the dynasty, once this trust relationship is broken for no reason, it is the emperor, and it is difficult to clean up the mess.

Zhengde may not understand this very well, but the queen mother of the harem, the vassal kings of various places, and the close ministers around Zhengde are all like mirrors; Even if you want to be righteous and insistent, it is absolutely impossible.

"I think Song Nan is a general who is suitable for leading the army, but I can't let him enter the regimental camp to lead the troops, not because Song Nan's talent is not enough, but because my regimental commanders are all generals who can recruit good soldiers, I can't hurt their hearts for Song Nan, although I know that there are several marquis who are old, and some people have proposed to replace them, but I don't think they are incompetent, and their age is not enough."

The Hou Ye were shocked, and they were full of energy to make a big fuss, but suddenly the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, and a qiē disappeared into invisibility, and several old Hou Ye who were already old were in tears, and they couldn't help but tremble.

"The emperor still takes care of our family, and no matter when, it is us who he trusts and protects the most. Even Song Nan, who was his favorite, couldn't shake half a point. ”

"The clothes are not as good as new, the people are not as good as the old, although the emperor is young, he is still not confused in major matters; What is Song Nan, even if he is a marquis this time, compared to us old relatives, he is still just a garlic. ”

The Hou Ye was moved and thought proudly and happily.

Zhang Mao said in a deep voice: "The emperor is sage, the emperor has finally adopted the old minister's construction, and the old minister is not very grateful. ”

Zhang Lun glanced at Song Nan with an embarrassed face, he knew that the old man added this sentence to point out to the Hou Ye that this qiē was the result of my Zhang Mao's words, although this move could save the hearts of the Hou Ye, but it greatly hurt Song Nan.

Song Nan's face remained unchanged, he didn't even shake his eyebrows, and stood there with a faint smile on his face, as if this qiē had nothing to do with him. The more this is the case, the more worried Zhang Lun is in his heart, after learning Song Nan's various methods, he knows that Song Nan is by no means a person to be messed with, the old man has always ignored Song Nan, and he doesn't care about Song Nan's feelings at all, what this qiē will bring, Zhang Lun can't imagine at all. The only thing that is certain is that Zhang Lun knows that Song Nan must not be taken lightly.

Zhang Lun didn't want to see this, he knew that Song Nan's ability was terrible, and the old man spoke like this, which was to push Song Nan to the opposite side of the Guogong Mansion again. Song Nan is a person with clear grievances, even if he is his sister-in-law's husband? was humiliated in public like this, and with Song Nan's temperament, he would never give up.

From Zhang Lun's point of view, he is willing to be friends with Song Nan for life, and will never despise Song Nan like the old man. Zhang Lun had this feeling when Song Nan was a small hundred-hundred-hundred Zhang Lun decided to make amends, even if he disobeyed the old man's will, not for the sake of the little county lord, but also for himself in the future.

Zhengde nodded and smiled: "The British public has been thoughtful, and as early as the day before yesterday, he raised the inappropriateness of Song Nan's entry into the Beijing camp, which can be described as far-sighted; But what you don't know is that Song Nan entered the palace to see me the day before yesterday, and he also offered not to enter the regimental camp, but it was unexpected by me. ”

Except for Zhang Mao and Zhang Lun, everyone was surprised, but soon they all thought they understood something, Song Nan retreated in the face of difficulties, knowing that this matter would not work, it was better to make a high posture to win the favor of the emperor, so that there would be light on the face. Although this person is young, his scheming is first-class.

"Song Nan said to me that the commanders of the regimental battalion are all conscientious and loyal to their duties, and they are examples for him to follow; He reminded me that there should be clear rewards and punishments, but also rewards and punishments at times. I felt that he was right and sincere, and I agreed to his request. ”

The ministers looked at Song Nan with pity, and thought in their hearts, although you are very shrewd, but you have nothing to gain in this matter, you have fought desperately for several months, and I heard that you were almost killed by thieves, and in the end you didn't get everything; said that you Song Nan is indifferent to fame and fortune, and the ghost believes you, you just have nothing to do. What's worse is that the British government you are attached to also clearly does not support you, and this time you are completely blind. Be your commander of the brocade guard, you are also this fate.

In the midst of a snicker, Song Nan stood there as usual, as if this qiē had nothing to do with himself, Song Nan was very satisfied with the ministers' reaction, the more they despised and gloated, the more shocked they were when they came, and the more painful they were in the face. Song Nan just felt a little sad, all the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty considered their own likes and dislikes, their own interests, but no one came out to uphold justice, and no one shouted for themselves, this is what Song Nan felt heartwarming.

This is the reality, a naked and cruel reality, Song Nan sighed at this and saw this clearly, but Song Nan was not surprised at all.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have a performance." In the midst of the uproar, someone shouted.

The eyes of the ministers followed the sound, and more than 100 pairs of eyes stared at this person, which was the figure of the little grandfather Zhang Lun; Zhang Lun adheres to Zhang Mao's style, never says much in the court, and the emperor must ask Zhang Mao for advice on occasions, and it is not Zhang Lun's turn to speak, but everyone understands that Zhang Lun actually has weight, Xinpingbao's rescue work, and he is the future British prince, whether in the court or in the Beijing camp, no one dares to despise his opinion.

Zhengde smiled and said, "Zhang Lun, what are you doing?" If the military affairs can be postponed, the reward of Song Nan and the meritorious generals has not yet been decided. ”

Zhang Lun saluted and said, "The minister just wants to have a few words to say about this matter. ”

Zhengde raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Then I want to hear it. ”

Zhang Mao frowned tightly and shouted in a low voice: "Lun'er, what are you doing?" It's not your turn to speak. ”

Zhang Lun turned a deaf ear and said to himself: "Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of reward the emperor will give to Song Nan?" ”

Zhengde smashed his mouth and said, "I haven't decided yet, do you have a high opinion?" ”

Zhang Lun said: "The imperial court should have clear rewards and punishments, and Song Nan should be rewarded for his great achievements in suppressing thieves." Some people will think that the minister and Song Nan have a kinship, so they came out to speak for him, but in fact, the minister just stood on the axiom and spoke. Song Nan has the talent of leading the army and has made outstanding contributions, if the emperor does not give appropriate awards, he will be criticized by the people of the world. Although Song Nan is not a talent of the world, but he is also a pillar of our dynasty, if the emperor only takes the title, money, and land as a reward because of various considerations, it is an insult to Song Nan, and it will also make people chill. ”

Zhang Mao said angrily: "Lun'er, Hugh is talking nonsense, what do you know, don't you retreat?" ”

Zhang Lun stood still, maintaining the posture of saluting Zhengde, and ignored Zhang Mao's scolding.

The civil and military officials didn't expect Zhang Lun to be silent, and when he spoke, he was deafening and sharp, but most of them looked at Zhang Lun in a daze with their mouths open, and some people thought to themselves: "The grandfather and grandson of the British government actually disagree, it's really strange today." ”

Song Nan secretly sighed, Zhang Lun's attitude gave Song Nan a step to step down, Zhang Mao's attitude had already angered him, and he was hesitating about his attitude towards the British government in the future, because there was a small county lord in the middle, and he didn't want the little county lord to be sad. Zhang Lun's attitude determines the direction of the relationship between the British government and himself in the future, and the attitude of the little grandfather and the little county lord brother and sister is enough.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to take the ignorant child's nonsense to heart, what does he know? Every qiē rewarded by the emperor is a reward gift, what is the difference between superior and inferior? This son is disrespectful, and the old minister will discipline him well when he turns around. Seeing that Zhengde was also stunned, Zhang Mao hurriedly came out of the column and said.

"Hmm...... I think Zhang Lun's words are quite reasonable, why should the British prince scold him? Zhengde relieved himself and smiled on his face.

"Zhang Lun, then according to your meaning, how should I reward Song Nan?"

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to say anything, but the minister faintly feels that my Ming Dynasty should know how to make good use of it, Song Nan has both talent and great merit, and he should be ordered to lead the army to serve the court."

"Oh? Since the regimental battalion can't enter, is it possible to transfer to the border town as a general? Zhengde smiled.

"Naturally, Song Nan is in charge of the Jinyi Guard, and this military position must also be in Beijing; The minister has the courage to mention yì, and I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

Zhengde said: "Let's hear it." ”

Zhang Lun raised his head and said: "There are twelve battalions in the Beijing camp, why can't it be increased to thirteen regimental battalions?" The rebellion of Liu Liu and Liu Qi almost caused disaster to the capital, so it is also necessary to strengthen the defense of Beijing, and it is not the best of both worlds to order Song Nan to command the thirteenth regiment and battalion? ”

There was an uproar in the court, Xu Guangzuo had a sneer on his face, Zhang Mao was full of anger and scolding, and the other officials were full of disbelief.

"The little grandfather's intention is to change the camp system in Beijing, what a big tone."

"Yes, the little grandfather is confused, the Beijing camp system is a rule, can it be said that if you add one battalion, you will add one battalion? It's child's play! ”

"That is, the regimental battalion system is related to the safety of the capital, what does it mean to have an extra battalion? Could it be that purely to reward Song Nan, the establishment of the Beijing camp should be moved? This little grandfather, I'm afraid I'm a mess. ”

"No wonder, Song Nan is his brother-in-law, he naturally wants to be partial, but this is too outrageous, the old man didn't dare to mention it, but he dared to say it."

"You know a fart, if this wasn't for the old man's instructions, the old man would go home and eat two big bowls of, obviously with a black face and a red face."

“……”

The hall was full of buzz, boiling like a pot of boiling water.
