The Governor Yamen of the regimental camp is located in the bowstring alley of Baodafang to the east of the imperial palace, at the end of Andingmen Street; The majestic yamen, the eaves and dragons are high-level tigers, and the head can be called the first among all the yamen in the capital.

Each yamen of the Ming Dynasty has some of its own characteristics, such as the Jinyi Guard's command of the envoy Yamen, which is also the chief yamen called by the insiders of the Jinyi Guard, although it is one of the best yamen in the Ming Dynasty, but the appearance is simple and simple, and there is no trace of teeth and claws. For example, the cabinet yamen, the head of the outer court, is just a large mansion with three entrances and three openings, if it were not for the officials who came in and out of the three or four official uniforms, and the cars and horses parked at the door were also high-sedan cars, it would still be a mansion where ordinary people lived.

The general office of the regiment and battalion is another majestic and luxurious style, and it is no wonder that this is the general office of the twelve regiments and battalions, and the people who come and go in and out of this yamen are all princes and relatives, which one is not illustrious, and the generations are honorable, or it is extravagant.

At this moment, the regimental battalion is shrouded in the rain of early winter, and the winter rain last night lingered until this morning, and the rain did not decrease, but tended to fall more and more. Above the hall of the general office, eight or nine regimental camp marquis sat in their respective positions, drinking tea with a teacup, and the jubilant and joking situation on weekdays had long been thrown out of the clouds, and everyone's eyebrows were shrouded in a faint sorrow.

The sound of horses' hooves, someone scolded the horses outside the yamen to stop, and then there was the sound of stepping down the horse, accompanied by Zhang Lun's familiar coughing sound of clearing his throat. The marquis in the yamen put down the teacup and got up, stretched their necks to look at the door, and saw that the little grandfather Zhang Lun entered the yamen with a dripping cold rain in a hat and a coat.

"Hello grandpa." The Hou men shouted.

Zhang Lun was taking off his hat with the help of his entourage, and entered from the outside, and the dim light in the hall made him not see clearly for a while that there were so many people in the hall, and he couldn't help but be startled.

"Why did you come to Yamen today? Don't you all come on weekdays? Zhang Lun smiled.

The marquis was embarrassed to play with each other haha, Zhang Lun was right, this general government rarely came to sit in the hall on weekdays, and after the morning on weekdays, they all went back to their respective camps, and some didn't even go to the barracks, they went back to the house and went freely. And even if there is something to discuss, judging from the polarized shape of the regiment and camp, it is unlikely that it will be discussed in the general office, everyone gets together, finds a restaurant or garden, and discusses things while listening to music and drinking tea, so there is a reason to come here to discuss in front of the other party.

Zhang Lun walked in by himself, his deputy governor's office was on the right side of the second entrance, and it was his habit to deal with some things every day, although he, the deputy governor, actually had nothing to deal with, and Xu Guangzuo was alone in charge of important matters, but Zhang Lun was used to this, and it was just a daily compulsory homework.

"Grandpa, please stay, I'll wait...... I have something I want to talk to my grandfather. ”

Zhang Lun was stunned, and then a sudden look appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "Aren't you waiting for the Duke of Dingguo?" Are you waiting for me? ”

"Of course, I'm waiting for you, the announcement of the country has been closed for a few days, and I didn't show up this morning, didn't I tell you?" A Hou Ye said with a smile.

Zhang Lun sighed and said: "Damn, damn it, I actually forgot about this stubble, Grandpa Xu took sick leave, yes, we should go and see him, I don't know if the illness is serious; Which of you has a head, let's go and visit together. ”

"Hey, don't mention it, Dingguo Gong didn't see anyone behind closed doors, just now Marquis Ma went to visit him, and he came back after eating the closed door."

Zhang Lun tilted his head and thought for a while: "I see, it seems that Dingguo Gong wants to recuperate, so let's not bother for now, you guys talk slowly, I'll go to the public house to deal with some official business first." ”

"The British Duke stays, we have important matters to negotiate, and since the Duke of Dingguo is on sick leave, I can only tell you."

"Oh? What's the matter, so solemn? Zhang Lun turned around with a smile and sat on the first chair, where a handyman had already held a fragrant tea in front of him.

Zhang Lun picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”

The marquis covered their mouths and coughed, glancing at each other, but none of them spoke; Zhang Lun frowned and said, "What's wrong with you?" Do you have a problem with your throat? If you don't say it, I'm leaving, inexplicably. ”

Seeing that Zhang Lun got up to leave, Ma Zhifang, the commander of the Shenwei Battalion, hurriedly got up and said: "That's it, let me tell you, everyone doesn't want to come out like this, so let my old horse come and pierce this layer of window paper." That's the case, Grandpa Zhang, I heard that the emperor was very unhappy because of the defeat of the regimental and battalion competition, and was brewing to rectify the regimental battalion, some people said that they would remove the two commanders of the regimental battalion from their posts, and transfer Xu Tai and Jiang Bin of the Shenshu battalion to the commander, I don't know if there is such a thing? ”

Zhang Lun smiled and said: "It turned out to be this matter, I can answer you with certainty, this matter is not heard, but a sure thing; The emperor has issued an order to promote Jiang Bin to the third-class Dingbian Marquis and Xu Tai to the third-class Anbian Marquis, and these two people will be appointed soon. I won't hide it from you now, it's just about the determination of the candidates for the transfer of the two Hou Ye in our regimental camp. The emperor commissioned Dingguo Gong to draft a list of this matter, and if you ask me, I don't know, maybe I'm one of them. ”

The marquis were in an uproar, and Chen Wanchun, the commander of the Liwei Battalion, shouted: "Why, how can the emperor do this? We have worked hard for the court, and there is no merit and hard work; Why is this so for us? Little grandfather, you should talk to the emperor about this, you can't do this to us. ”

Zhang Lun shook his head and said, "I can't do anything." ”

"Hey. If Old Man Zhang was here, this incident would never have happened, and now that we have an accident, there is not even a person who dares to speak, and we old relatives are considered to be no one to care about and no one asks. Someone sighed.

Zhang Lun's eyebrows turned cold, and he said sharply: "Now do you remember my grandfather's goodness?" When he was alive, he worked hard to maintain the unity and glory of his relatives, but what about you, why were you anxious for his good? What's the use of saying that now? The governor of the regimental camp is not me Zhang Lun, you should go to the Dingguo Mansion to find Xu Guangzuo, aren't you fighting with him? What are you doing when you come to me? ”

Everyone was speechless by Zhang Lun's reprimand, when Zhang Mao was alive, he was not afraid of heaven and earth at all, because Zhang Mao was on top; Is it that they will make some trouble to embarrass Zhang Mao; For example, when Song Nan wanted to enter the regimental camp, the Hou masters collectively made a fuss, and deliberately fought with Xu Guangzuo one by one, forcing Zhang Mao not to agree to Song Nan entering the regimental camp. Now that I think about it, how rude they were at the beginning, if it wasn't for the overall stability, how would Zhang Mao tolerate them doing this.

Thinking about it now, the catastrophe is coming, Xu Guangzuo, who is the governor of the regiment and battalion, not only did nothing, but also hid at home and pretended to be sick, and Zhang Lun in front of him was also knocked down by himself and others, and now it is really unreasonable to ask him to find a way.

"Little grandfather, don't be angry, we are not here for you, we have also communicated a lot in private in the past few days, thinking back to what we have done, it is indeed a little sorry for your grandfather and grandson. But the regimental camp is the brainchild of the old man, and we are all old brothers who have followed the old man all his life, just for the sake of the old man, and we can't give up on ourselves. Little grandfather, the seven marquis who came here today all made a poisonous oath in private, and we jointly wrote something, hoping to calm the anger of the little grandfather and help us tide over this difficulty. ”

Liu Zhongda, the commander of the Yaowu Battalion, who was old and serious, stepped forward and whispered, and then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Lun, Zhang Lun took it over and read it suspiciously, stretched out his hand and threw it on the case and said, "What are you doing here?" Could it be that I, Zhang Lun, am this kind of person? I resigned from the post of governor of this regiment and battalion, but am I still rare? ”

Liu Zhongda hurriedly said: "Little grandfather, the marquis have offended a lot before, and when the little grandfather served as the governor, some people were not convinced; Now everyone has figured it out, this position belongs to the little grandfather. In the future, we will unite closely around my little grandfather as I did when my grandfather was alive; After all, Xu Guangzuo is an outsider, so there is a deep relationship between us and the British government? It was an accident that he became governor, and now it's time to vacate his position. ”

Zhang Lun smacked his lips and said: "It's hard for me to do this, I did want to do something about this matter, but when you come like this, doesn't it make people think that I am here to help for something else?" Not good, not good. ”

Liu Zhongda turned his head and smiled, took the lead and bowed down in front of Zhang Lun and said: "I ask the little grandfather to help our old brothers under the old man tide over the difficulties, I will only look forward to the British government in the future, otherwise, we will be in vain." ”

All the marquis fell to the ground one after another, and Zhang Lun hurriedly said: "What is this for?" Rise up all of you, and you are all my uncles and uncles, isn't this killing me? ”

Liu Zhongda said in a deep voice: "The little grandfather promised me to get up later." ”

Zhang Lun sighed and said slowly: "Get up, I'll do my best, but I don't dare to guarantee that it will work." This time, people must leave in the regimental camp, and as for who is leaving, I can only make a fuss about it. ”

The marquis were overjoyed, they came prepared today, the seven marquis who came were all in the middle, plus Zhang Lun, Gaohu and Jiao Zhengtai, there were only two of the admirals of the twelve regiments and battalions. One of these two people is Qian Taichang, the commander of the Zhenwei Battalion, and the other is Meng Tang, the commander of the Lianwu Battalion, Qian Taichang's sworn friend.

The alliance of the Hou Ye is also very skillful, although most of them have slandered Song Nan openly and secretly, and have done against Zhang Lun; But these seven people are not like Qian Taichang and Meng Tang who have completely thrown themselves into Xu Guangzuo's arms, and there will definitely be no two people in the list drawn up by Xu Guangzuo, so they abandoned Qian Taichang and Meng Tang; First, it is to prevent these things from being known by Xu Guangzuo, and secondly, it is also because there are always people who want to be substitutes for the dead ghosts.

Among them, Ma Zhifang, who was humiliated by Song Nan, was able to get in, and I have to say that this person is indeed a talent who can bend and stretch.

They did not hesitate to write a joint letter in private, saying that they would all support the little grandfather to return to the position of governor, and today they played the emotional card that they had only seen with the old man to impress Zhang Lun, because they knew Zhang Lun's weaknesses very well in their hearts, and Zhang Lun certainly hoped in his heart that he could continue the glory of the British government, and the position of the governor of the regimental battalion would be inherited like the title of the duke, and it would be worthy of his ancestors for Zhang Lun.

The person behind the whole thing is Song Nan, the marquis knows that asking Zhang Lun is asking Song Nan, and Song Nan is certainly not as good at talking as Zhang Lun here, so there is such a thing today.
