After retiring from the dynasty, Xu Guangzuo left angrily with a cadre of governors, and some of the officials who got along with him also left quickly with a blue face, but Song Nan and Lu Wan were surrounded by a group of courtiers to congratulate and congratulate, and it was very lively.

"Lord Song...... No...... It's time to call Hou Ye Song, congratulations, Emperor Shengming, like the pillars of the country like Hou Ye, should have been entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and the old man has long been looking forward to this day. ”

"Yes, the Marquis of Song is young and talented, it can be said that everyone expects it, I have talents like Marquis Song in the Ming Dynasty, it is really a blessing for the country, congratulations."

"Marquis Song, in order to express our congratulations, we want to set up a banquet in Guiyuan in the west of the city to congratulate Marquis Song on his promotion, and also invite Marquis Song to come to appreciate the light, and Marquis Song must not refuse."

“……”

The chatter of the officials was noisy, the sincerity of the words, the sincerity of the expressions was really moving, Song Nan smiled and thanked him, although the style of the grass on the wall was disgusting, but he couldn't be guilty of not being honest with them. These wall-riding factions are capricious, whoever gains power will immediately flock to curry favor, and whoever loses power will immediately abandon it, such a thing has happened to Song Nan many times, Song Nan has already seen their faces clearly, and they are just vain and wronged.

Jiang Bin, Xu Tai and others, who followed Song Nan to accept Daohe, had never received such treatment, and were deliberately flattered by these officials who could stand on the court, and couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, Song Nan saw it in his eyes and felt that it was necessary to find an opportunity to warn them.

Everyone walked bustling towards the outside of the hall, but Liu Jin, who was waiting for Zhengde to leave, turned around silently, standing under the curtain at the entrance of the side door, staring coldly at the group of courtiers around Song Nan and Lu Wan, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and his eyes were full of fierce light.

Gao Feng, who was standing beside him, scolded in a low voice: "This group of dogs, now they are wagging their tails at the outer court and Song Nan again, Gonggong Liu, today, we have suffered heavy losses, the three thousand battalions were taken by Song Nan, and the position of the military department has not been touched, and the Duke of Dingguo has lost face in the court; If this continues, the prestige of the father-in-law will be swept away, but Father-in-law Liu, you have to think of a way. ”

Liu Jin's face turned blue and said, "What are you panicking about?" And by their joy, our family has already thought of countermeasures, but the most unbearable thing for our family is this group of wall grass, these people are the most hateful, our family is not powerful, they treat our family as a sick cat; I want them to understand that our family can still control their life and death. ”

Gao Feng said excitedly: "Yes, my father-in-law is right, at this time, I have to get off the horse, so that these things that don't have long eyes know how powerful, and let Song Nan and the leopards from the border towns know the means of my father-in-law." ”

Liu Jin nodded and said softly: "Zheng Qi, a member of the Ministry of Officials, Wei Qiquan, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Sun Wanpo, a member of the Ministry of Households, first take these three people to operate, these three guys have also privately asked people to send gifts to me, wanting to get a high official position, and now they are following Song Nan's side, telling Jiao Fang Gu Zuo that they will be impeached for the crime of bribery and seeking officials by these three people, and you will go back to the public room of the celebrant to propose the gifts given by the three people in my bedroom to be registered in the carrier warehouse immediately, and I can also clear up the relationship when the trouble starts." ”

Gao Feng said in a low voice: "My father-in-law has a good plan, I'll do it." ”

Gao Feng left in a hurry, Liu Jin watched Song Nan's surrounded figure disappear out of the door of the main hall, bowed his head and pondered for a while, then turned his head and ordered a little eunuch beside him: "You go to the Dongchang Yamen and ask the criminal name Qianhu to go to the celebrant to see me." ”

The little eunuch hurriedly agreed and turned around and ran away, Liu Jin raised his head and sighed, looking at the slowly closing gate of the Fengtian Palace, his face thoughtful.

It wasn't until outside the palace gate that the more than twenty courtiers around Song Nan dispersed, Song Nan sighed slightly and turned his head, bowed Xu Tai and Jiang Bin to him, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What are you doing?" ”

Jiang Bin said: "Hou Ye, I, Jiang Bin, can have today, all thanks to your support all the way, Xu Tai and I are both rough people, and I won't say anything beautiful, but to say, in the future, I will be loyal to Hou Ye, if I violate this oath, I will fight five thunders." ”

Xu Tai also nodded and said: "Yes, follow Song Houye to the water and go to the fire, if you frown and scold your mother, I Xu Tai will not be raised by my parents." ”

Song Nan laughed and said, "What do you mean by firepower?" If the two brothers can afford me Song Nan, we will share the glory and glory in the future. ”

Xu Tai laughed and said: "Yes, yes, I can't speak, I should follow Hou Ye to fly Huang Tengda." ”

Song Nan said: "Two brothers, there are some things I want to say in advance, the two of them are older than me, they have been in the army longer than me, I am not as good as the two of them in military affairs, and I will need to worry more about military affairs in the future." But now we are leading the Beijing camp and not the border army of the guard, which is naturally very different. And this is the capital, I have to deal with the Beijing officials, I just remind you, it's better to stay away from these people, I have encountered a lot of things about calling my brother behind my back, don't believe in them and don't listen to them, so as not to fall into their calculations. ”

Jiang Bin and Xu Tai's faces changed color, and they arched their hands together: "Master Hou's lesson is that we were complimented by those guys just now, and we were indeed a little fluttering, but we forgot that this is the capital." ”

Song Nan waved his hand and smiled: "I'm just reminding you not to fall for them, there is nothing to scruple about in acting, but you don't break the law, just let it go; I only ask you for one word, whoever bullies us, no matter who he is, must be bullied back, if we fall into our prestige, it will never be possible. ”

Jiang Bin and Xu Tai first opened their mouths in shock, and then laughed, Jiang Bin said to Xu Tai: "Brother, what am I talking about?" You can be considered to have understood the temper of the Hou Ye. ”

Xu Tai said: "Hou Ye speaks and does things very much to make the humble job feel straightforward and happy, when he followed the Hou Ye to suppress the thief, he knew that the Hou Ye is a capable person, and today in the court, the Hou Ye reprimanded the Duke of Dingguo is to make the humble Hou Ye admire the style of the five-body throw. Hou Ye rest assured, the lowly rank will not fall into your face. ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "That's good, I won't say much today, let's talk about it another day, you still have a lot of things, the emperor gave you a house, you should also hurry up and clean up, and quickly order someone to bring the families of Datong and Xuanfu to settle down." Later, I ordered Wang Yong to bring some brothers to help you, and the brothers who were transferred to the Shenshu camp with you also need to settle down, and hurry up to solve their personal affairs. ”

Jiang Bin said, "Shouldn't we go and see our Shenshu camp first?" ”

Song Nan waved his hand and said: "No, the transfer of soldiers and horses, the selection of the station still needs to be tossed for a few days, you must arrange private affairs in these days, I will deal with these things, I wanted to hold a banquet at noon to celebrate the two of them entering Beijing, but I thought it would be better to hurry up and get on the right track, so as not to cause extraneous branches, and the banquet will wait for a qiē to be on the right track before putting it on, you hurry up and do things." ”

Jiang Bin and Xu Tai obeyed the order in unison, and the entourage outside the palace gate pulled the horse, and the two beckoned more than a dozen generals who were rewarded together today to get on their horses and salute, and galloped away along the avenue in front of the palace gate.

……

Time flies, the New Year is approaching in the blink of an eye, before the annual leave, Jiang Bin and Xu Tai each went back to Datong and Xuanfu, handed over their duties, dealt with personal affairs, and brought their families to the capital to settle down.

On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the last day of the second year of Zhengde, Song Nan took Jiang Bin and Xu Tai to the newly opened Shenshu camp accompanied by more than a dozen generals; The headquarters of the Shenshu camp is in the white paper workshop in the southwest of the outer city.

For Song Nan's choice to station the Shenshu camp here, the marquis of the regimental camp almost laughed, the white paper workshop is a slum area, the sewage is stinking and stinking, there is only one main street, and the rest of the place is either a thatched house or a deserted cemetery, which has become a laughing stock in the drunken speech of the marquis of the regimental camp.

"That kid is also a marquis, he is so incapable, poor for the three thousand horses of the old three thousand battalions, what can he do with this kid? White Paper Mill still uses garrisons? Are you ready to fight the lonely ghosts? Hahaha. ”

"That is, I heard that it is a simple military camp built, and the place is big, but it is not sheltered from the wind in winter and shaded in summer, hey! It's really embarrassing for my Jingying, and I don't know what this Song Nan thinks. ”

"I heard that the deputy governor and the little grandfather found a site for the Shenshu camp in the middle of the day by the Jishui Pond in the north of Xizhimen, which was originally the old military camp of the Fenwu camp, but this Song Nan insisted on not going, it was really strange; It's a good place there, and the little grandfather can be regarded as very helpful to his brother-in-law, but people don't appreciate it. ”

"You know a fart, the old man and Song Nan don't have a good relationship, why is Song Nan embarrassed to ask the little grandfather for help? Maybe it was the old man who ordered the little grandfather not to help Song Nan. Anyway, the old man is still good to us, Song Nan, this kid didn't squeeze into our group camp, we still have to get the old man's love. ”

"Yes, this Song Nan said that he was the fast son-in-law of the British government, but in the old man's mind, he was not as good as us, and he was panicked when he thought about it, I estimated that Song Nan must have felt embarrassed, so he refused the help of the little grandfather, and I am afraid that he is also playing temper with the old man."

"Will the old man ignore his temper? Joke! It is said that the Shenshu camp is stationed in the white paper workshop, and the garrison is at the junction with the Yang Wei camp of Jiao Houye, Lao Jiao, congratulations on having a good neighbor, hahaha, maybe you can still deal with it. ”

"Dealing with him? I don't have to lose Lao Tzu's face, when have we ever given someone else's face? He obediently stayed in the white paper workshop to eat stinky and drink dirty water, and dared to hang around my barracks, and Lao Tzu gave him a good look. ”
