Chapter 295 (Thanks, Casual Ronin, Eat Not Hungry, Moshaocong, and LXZX Brothers for a bunch of tickets.) ）

The first rays of sunlight shone on the imperial city in the early morning, and the huge palace cast a long shadow in the gap, and the early dynasty of the Fengtian Temple dispersed early, and the officials came down from the steps of the main hall one after another, and each returned to the yamen.

Song Nan, the new commander of the Jinyi Guard, hurried to the Qianqing Palace, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, it is common to drive with him, not to mention that Song Nan is holding the list of official appointments and dismissals of the Jinyi Guard Yamen drawn up this morning, and this list of appointments must be nodded by Zhengde.

On the grass in the apse of the Qianqing Palace, Zhengde has taken off his court clothes and changed into light civilian clothes and sat on a chair, several eunuchs put fruit food on the table, Zhengde got up early and had no appetite, but at this moment after the court, he had a big appetite, and he was holding a bowl of bird's nest porridge and eating it with a snack.

Seeing Song Nan coming, Zhengde took chopsticks and clicked on a stool in front of him and motioned for Song Nan to sit down. Liu Jin stood aside to serve, and when he saw Song Nan, he also greeted him with a slight smile, and his face was very calm.

Song Nan had to sit down and wait, Zhengde had a good appetite, drank two bowls of bird's nest porridge in a row, and ate seven or eight pieces of dim sum, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks with satisfaction; The eunuch beside him hurriedly handed over water and towels to Zhengde to rinse his mouth and wipe his mouth.

"The emperor has a good appetite." Song Nan said with a smile.

Zhengde said with a smile: "Now as long as I think of the scene on the beacon tower, I feel that the rice and grain are precious, and the appetite is also very good, I have ordered Liu Jin and them to pass on the message, the inner court prohibits waste of extravagance, if anyone wastes food, I will invite him to eat sticks." ”

Song Nan nodded and said, "The emperor did the right thing, and the ministers raised their hands in approval." ”

Zhengde laughed and said: "You naturally agree, those people we are trapped together will agree, I think, in the future, your Jinyi Wei Yamen and Dongchang Yamen will also investigate those extravagant and wasteful people and officials outside, and there will be no more punishment, find a place to trap and starve for three or five days, and after you put it back, you will definitely cherish food like gold." ”

Song Nan was taken aback, this is a bit overkill, although extravagance and waste are not good, but it is not so, Zhengde is obviously hot-headed; But seeing that Zhengde was on the rise, there was no formal request to implement the matter, so he responded vaguely.

"Your Majesty, here is the promotion list of the officials of the Jinyi Guard Yamen drawn up by the minister, please take a look at the emperor, my Jinyi Guard Yamen still has several vacancies in key positions, I have to make up for these officials today, otherwise it will be a mess." Song Nan handed over the list.

Zhengde took a cursory look at it, stretched out his hand and handed it to Liu Jin beside him: "I promised Song Nan that I would not interfere with his appointment, I did what I said, since these people Song Nan thinks it is suitable, Liu Jin, you will take it to the celebrant to draft the decree and issue the appointment." ”

Liu Jin stared at the list a few times, with a strange look on his face, as if he wanted to speak, but quickly closed the list and bowed down and said, "Yes, don't worry, the slave will do it immediately." ”

Song Nan breathed a sigh of relief, Zhengde is actually better, but the difficult thing is Liu Jin here, after all, some people in the proposed list are not suitable, many people belong to one step to the sky, whether it is in terms of qualifications or ability, they are all promoted because of Song Nan's personal status, if Liu Jin really opposes it, Song Nan has nothing to say.

But Liu Jin couldn't help but say a word, which was very surprising.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, there is Lao Liu's father-in-law; Today is the minister's first day in office, and the minister is afraid that he will go to the yamen to sit in the town, and the officials of all sizes will also meet to explain some things, and the minister will retire. ”

Zhengde nodded and said: "Go, come to the palace in the evening, Liuyang will send some fireworks, it is said that they are very good-looking, come and watch the fireworks with me at night." ”

Song Nan hurriedly agreed, turned around and wanted to go, but suddenly heard Liu Jin say: "Lord Song stays." ”

Song Nan turned around in a daze and arched his hand: "What does Gonggong Liu command?" ”

Zhengde also said: "Liu Jin, Song Nan's first day in office today, don't delay his efforts." ”

Liu Jin bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, you forgot, yesterday I said that it was good, in the morning, Dingguo Gong came to the palace, and the emperor introduced Song and Dingguo Gong, but Dingguo Gong is going to be Song Nan's matchmaker, isn't this a big event than the little thing in the yamen?" ”

Zhengde raised his forehead and said: "Yes, yes, I almost forgot, Song Nan, don't go, I haven't told you about this yet." ”

Song Nan's heart was shocked, but he had to bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Zhengde smiled and said: "Song Nan, you are also very familiar with my imperial sister, she was also protected by you along the way to the palace on this tour, the imperial sister has a good impression of you, the imperial sister is almost eighteen years old, and it is long overdue to recruit a concubine to get married, but the imperial sister has a high vision, and she has always disliked the candidates selected by the queen mother and her father." This time, I can see that the imperial sister belongs to you; I think this thing is not bad, although you are from a poor background, but you have a good temper with me, and your ability is also quite big, and now you have made military merits and awarded the title of earl, which can be regarded as a suitable identity, I want you to become the imperial sister's concubine, I don't know what you think? ”

Song Nanshi didn't know how to answer, although Zhengde was asking for an inquiry, but in fact, he was just informing himself, but if he agreed, it was not what he wanted, and he hesitated for a while.

Zhengde thought that Song Nan was at a loss for joy, and said with a smile: "It's okay now, the imperial sister will hand it over to you, and I can rest assured, you will be my brother-in-law in the future, and you will be more intimate with me." Ha lu haha. ”

Liu Jin wasted no time in saying: "Slave and maid, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to Lord Song; The slave maid has already seen that this is all fate, the emperor's patrol of the border is not as unbearable as the ministers said, the slave and maid seem to be a clever move, and they took the opportunity to annihilate the 20,000 cavalry of the Tartars, and they also achieved a good marriage for the princess. ”

Zhengde smiled and said: "Xiao Jinzi really has such a meaning when he says this. ”

Liu Jin smiled and said, "Lord Song, why aren't you grateful?" Not only to thank the emperor, but also to thank our family, if it weren't for our family to tell the princess about this matter in person, the princess has a thin face, and she is embarrassed to talk about it; Our family also went to invite Dingguo Gong to be your matchmaker, your face is really not small. ”

Song Nan couldn't wait to rush up and smoke the two mouths, this guy actually told Song Nan that I provoked this matter, what can you do? You also have to thank me for teaching you to break your teeth and swallow it.

Song Nan calmed down, warned himself not to be impulsive, and slowly said: "The minister is very frightened. The emperor was wrongly loved, and Gonggong Liu did it, and this matter was naturally undesirable for the minister; However, this incident came too suddenly, and the minister couldn't believe it. ”

Zhengde Ha Luha smiled: "What can't you believe in this, I still can't lie to you?" ”

Song Nan said: "Your Majesty, the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf is extremely noble, and the minister's martial arts family background is thin, how can she be a good match for the princess?" Of course, the minister wants to become a concubine, but the minister cannot damage the princess's reputation and royal prestige with his own selfishness; If someone accuses the princess behind her back that she married a martial artist with a despicable family background, the minister will deserve to die. ”

Zhengde was stunned and said: "Listening to what you mean, it seems that you don't seem to be very willing?" ”

Liu Jin smiled and said: "Lord Song, you want to refute the emperor's son, do you think that the princess is not worthy of you Song Nan?" ”

Zhengde's face is also slowly getting colder, although Song Nan is good, but between Princess Kangning and Song Nan, it is obvious that Zhengde is more inclined to Princess Kangning, if Song Nan is unwilling to obey the princess's wishes, Zhengde will never spare him.

"The emperor blames the ministers, the ministers can't ask for it, and the ministers are really afraid that they are not worthy of the princess, and it will make the princess unhappy."

"Then you don't have to worry about it, the imperial sister herself agreed to this, and no one forced her, besides, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the title of a first-class Yongguan Earl, no matter your status is not contemptible, after becoming a concubine, I will naturally be crowned with a knighthood, who dares to say more?" Zhengde Road.

Liu Jin also said: "That's it, who has a cheap mouth, is it possible that your Jinyi Wei and the Tiqi of the Inner Court East Factory are not able to eat dry rice?" ”

Song Nan gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister hopes to listen to the princess's personal promise, otherwise the princess will be dissatisfied in the future, and the minister can't afford it." ”

Zhengde said: "You are really stubborn. ”

Song Nan said: "The minister is this temper, if the minister is not stubborn, how can he protect the emperor from danger safely, stubbornness is cautious for the minister, this is the advantage of the minister." ”

Zhengde glanced at Song Nan, turned his head to Liu Jin and said: "Order someone to go to Shouning Palace to invite the princess to come, Song Nan wants to listen to the promise of the imperial sister in person, so let the imperial sister tell him in person; It's really troublesome. ”

Song Nan said in a low voice: "The emperor forgives the sin." ”

Zhengde snorted and said, "I really can't see through you, but it's like I begged you." ”

Over there, a little eunuch ran to Shouning Palace, Princess Kangning heard that the emperor was discussing marriage with Song Nan, and asked her to participate in the opinion, without saying a word, she quickly got on the sedan chair and rushed to the Qianqing Palace surrounded by everyone.

Came to the apse, paid homage to Zhengde, asked questions and replied, all the time, Kang Ning's wonderful eyes did not leave Song Nan for half a minute, Song Nan was covered in cold sweat, like a thorn in his back.

But in any case, to solve this matter today, Song Nan has decided to take a risk, and according to his understanding of Princess Kangning, it is unknown that there may be a good outcome.
