The court exploded, and Song Nan's resignation from the Shenshu Battalion and the Admiral of the Second Foreign Army in court on the grounds of physical discomfort and lack of energy was like an explosion dropped in a dung pit. When the bullets were scattered and bloomed, everyone was sprayed with their heads and faces, and the whole person was stunned.

Not only the few scholars in the cabinet, but also the officials of the six departments of the outer court, and even those around Song Nan were dumbfounded. Judging from the emperor's attitude of immediately approving Song Nan's request, Song Nan was not unwell and lacking energy at all, but made a big mistake behind his back, which was a self-pleading punishment.

People have speculated about what mistakes Song Nan made, some speculated that Song Nan's move to collect money in the white paper workshop made the emperor dissatisfied, and some people directly speculated that Song Nan had done several things before, such as the fact that Liu Jin was framed in secret, I am afraid that the East Window incident happened.

Everyone guessed happily, only Yang Tinghe and the close people around Song Nan really knew the reason, Yang Tinghe's mood was very complicated, on the one hand, the pressure from himself and the Queen Mother had an effect, which was obviously the emperor's punishment of Song Nan, but on the other hand, Yang Tinghe was dissatisfied with such a result.

According to the previous assumption, even if Song Nan did not die, he would take the official position and strip him to the end, and now Song Nan at least retains the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the emperor still puts Song Nan in charge of such a special department, which means that the emperor still trusts Song Nan.

Yang Tinghe was a little worried, if Song Nan knew that he had stabbed him and the princess, Song Nan didn't know how to deal with him, there had never been a harmonious relationship between himself and Song Nan, although there had been a few small cooperations, but Yang Tinghe didn't plan to stand with Song Nan from beginning to end, and he didn't bother to stand with Song Nan. If Song Nan finds out the clues behind it this time, I am afraid that the confrontation between the two sides will be inevitable.

In fact, Yang Tinghe is not afraid of Song Nan at all, in addition to the unique stinky hard bones of Wenchen, Yang Tinghe has sufficient confidence in his own ability, he has the entire outer court as the backing, and he is not afraid of Song Nan's retaliation at all. On the contrary, if he catches Song Nan's handle again, he will still spare no effort to attack him. It's just that this time the matter can't be made public at all, and there is no way to invite these people around him to impeach together, so I can only regretfully let Song Nan escape this catastrophe.

In any case, the results have been remarkable. Song Nan lost the Shenshu Battalion and the Outer Second Army, and Zhengde asked Hui Anbo, the Governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, to command the Outer Second Army, and let the former Shaanxi General Army, Jingyang Bo Shenying, come to act as the Admiral of the Shenshu Battalion, which is to exclude these two armies from Song Nan's grasp, and the Outer Second Army fell into the name of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, which indirectly expresses the attitude that the Outer Second Army cannot be included in the Beijing Camp series; This qiē is already a big victory, and Yang Tinghe is not only regretful, but also very happy in his heart.

Song Nan asked for a seven-day holiday in the court, Zhengde granted him a holiday, comforted him a few words, and pretended to order the hospital to send a doctor to help Song Houye see the disease, and he did a good job. After the next dynasty, in the strange eyes of the civil officials, Song Nan was straight and straight, and walked out of the palace without squinting, leaving behind the civil and military officials whispering and snickering.

It is said that many of the officials of the foreign court were drunk that day, because they were happy in their hearts, and it is said that on this day, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were full of thoughts and thoughts, and a lot of poems were born, because they were happy; It is really a great joy in life to see Song Nan, a guy who is arrogant and often beats the ass board of civil officials, unlucky.

After the next dynasty, Zhang Lun hurriedly chased Song Nan to the Song Mansion, Song Nan changed into an official uniform and drank tea in the back house, Zhang Lun entered the door and asked: "What happened?" Why didn't I know anything about it beforehand? ”

Song Nan got up and gave up his seat and ordered someone to make tea, he was really hard to say, he couldn't tell Zhang Lun, in addition to your sister-in-law, I also got involved with Princess Kangning, and I got these things out, so I can have today's disaster.

"Little grandpa, it's actually nothing, it's true that I don't want to be busy anymore, I want to spend more time with my children and children."

"Fart!" Zhang Lun was angry: "Are you a fool for me?" So foolish? Who are you I don't know? If you are a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and everyone in the world is a monk and a hermit, something must happen. I don't care, if you do this, the situation will be extremely bad; Now there is also a lot of discussion among the marquis of the regimental camp, saying that you are going to be unlucky, which makes people panic, what do you say? ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "I will sue you in the future, I don't want to tell you now, I can only sue you and me, and I have to do this to protect myself." As for what happened in the regimental camp, don't you think it's a litmus test? Which people are the grass on the wall, as soon as there is a wind and grass, they will swing on both sides, and this time they will see clearly; Don't worry, I won't fall, and as long as I'm here, none of them will be complacent. If you believe my words, it will be as usual, don't panic, you and I will not panic, and the situation will be firmly controlled. ”

Zhang Lun stomped his feet and said, "You never treat me as your own." What can't be said? I'll think of a way for you, don't you think my British government has no face at all? ”

Song Nan shook his head and said: "It's bad for you to come forward in this matter, and you don't know about it, it's good that this matter is related to the emperor's reputation, you should understand when I say this." ”

Zhang Lun closed his mouth in surprise, it turned out that Song Nan had offended the emperor, no wonder this was the case, Song Nan didn't tell him that he was protecting himself, if it was really the emperor's privacy, it was better for him not to know.

"And what are you going to do now?" Zhang Lun smacked his lips.

"I took seven days of sick leave, so I was at home for a few days, by the way, I have to tell you about this, I will leave Beijing in the afternoon, and I may not come back in a few days, so you can take care of it here."

"Out of Beijing? Where to? ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "The little grandfather is always so curious, this is my errand for the Jinyi Guard, but this time, lest you complain like a complaining woman, I will tell you what is the matter." I'm going to Nanjing, don't ...... The purpose is to slaughter a person, a person who does not change his life; You also know that I'm not in a good situation right now, so I'm not in a good mood, so I'm going to kill someone to relieve my anger. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Lun opened his eyes wide and whispered, "Kill whom?" Who is in Nanjing? ”

Song Nan said coldly: "Gu Dayong, he has resurrected and jumped out to make trouble, and this time with the new master, I want to cut off this dog's paws to make his master understand that I, Song Nan, am not so easy to pinch." ”

Zhang Lun was silent for a long time, then said a word of caution and stomped his feet and sighed.

Song Nan did temporarily intend to go to Nanjing, and this matter was originally handed over to Wang Yong, and Wang Yong had already taken people out of the capital to Nanjing last night; Last night, Song Nan was not completely sure that he could spare Zhengde, but now the situation is different; Since the loss is within a controllable range, instead of staying in the capital to listen to those rumors, look at those uncomfortable faces, and meet unnecessary inquiries, it is better to leave for a few days to avoid this cusp for a few days. In addition, as Song Nan said, the anger in his heart also needs to find someone to vent, this Gu Dayong is a target to vent, the Queen Mother brought him, and he gave the old queen mother in the palace a little color to look good, and killed Gu Dayong with his own hands, and killed Gu Dayong can also take the opportunity to bring Kang Ning back to the capital, Song Nan has already planned this matter.

On Jingnan Avenue, Song Nan and Li Daniu rode horses and galloped slowly, Song Nan was dressed as a son-in-law, wearing a luxurious spring shirt, a jewel-encrusted hat on his head, seven or eight precious rings on his fingers, and he did not forget to insert a folding fan around his waist. Li Da Niu is dressed up as a personal companion, and Song Nan wanted to dress him up more luxuriously, but it is a pity that Li Da Niu has a black face, plus a face full of youthful pimple beans, he really can't wear good clothes, and it looks like he was stolen when he wears it.

Before leaving, Song Nan summoned Hou Dabiao, Sun Xuan and others to explain some things, although the eyes of these people were full of questions, but Song Nan's casual attitude made them feel at ease; They didn't know Song Nan's intention to go out of Beijing to Nanjing, but Song Nan didn't say it, they didn't ask, they only secretly flew pigeons and sent letters to the Jinyi guards and yamen in various places to secretly protect the safety of the commanders.

The capital is far away from Nanjing, even if it takes three days to travel on horseback, but Song Nan took this as an opportunity to relax, while walking to enjoy the spring scenery in April, and it took five days to arrive at the territory of Yingtianfu, and on the evening of the fourth day of the fourth month of April, the tall city tower of Nanjing City was clearly visible in the sunset.

As the old capital of the Ming Dynasty, the pattern of Nanjing City is naturally extraordinary, after moving the capital to Beijing, except for the absence of the emperor, most of the other qiē institutions are retained; Nanjing has six departments: soldiers, officials, households, criminals, workers, and rituals, all of which have official positions such as scholars and servants; There is the Nanjing Imperial Envoy Yamen, there are six departments to give things, and even in the palace where there is no emperor, there are also internal eunuchs such as the ceremonial supervisor and the imperial horse supervisor.

It's just one point, because there is no emperor here, there is no need for all the yamen here, and the reason why these institutions are retained, firstly, is out of respect for the Liudu established by Taizu, and secondly, because Liudu does have his particularity, and the third article is a little hurtful to say it, I am afraid that it is just to let those who have fallen out of favor have a decent place to retire and wait for death. Many people came to Nanjing to take up posts, and even if the knighthood position was promoted, a consensus was formed in people's hearts: there is no doubt that going to Nanjing is being demoted.
