The last great court meeting at the end of the 39th year of the Zhengming Dynasty.

After Emperor Zheng ordered the King of Song to think about it behind closed doors, he reprimanded the Duke of Zhou and the Marquis of Ping'an. For the crime of negligence, two were punished with a year's imprisonment each.

Then he reprimanded the household department for its ineffective work, and the military rations that should have been transported to Zhongdu a year ago had not been completely transferred, and used this reason to dismiss a household servant and reprimand the household department Shangshu.

Emperor Zheng's rare stern attitude made the powerful people in the court who were still thinking of going to the northwest to grab credit put out their voices, and began to carefully wait and see the attitude of the elders of the cabinet and the major governors of the five major metropolitan governors.

After the cabinet meeting, at today's court meeting, Li Yan, the first assistant to the cabinet, presented the candidate for the governor of the Northwest Right Route Army proposed by the cabinet.

Governor of Zhongdu, Min Xing.

Needless to say, the Min family has a deep heritage, both in the court and in the opposition, and advances and retreats with the major families in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Min family has been supported by a pair of brothers and sisters since the contemporary head of the family told the old, and Min Xing served as the governor of Zhongdu, and since Wei Chi's death, he seems to be the second person in Zhongdu. Min Xing's sister married Qin Quan, the king of Jin, who is now the princess of Jin.

The government and the opposition are also extremely optimistic about Fujian, now Zhang Qing, the head of the five major governors, is old, and it is estimated that there is not much time, although Qin Zheng is trusted by Emperor Zheng, but after all, he is relatively young, if he controls the five major governors too early, I am afraid that he will end up in a situation where there is no seal, and Xiao Lie is notorious, and now because of his son Xiao Yu, he resigned as the governor of the dark guard, and the newly appointed governor of the dark guard, Sun Ligong, is still young, so Xu Lin, who has been guarding the capital for many years, has become the best candidate to take over Zhang Qing. If Xu Lin enters the five major governors of the Eastern Capital, then the successor to the post of the Central Metropolitan Governor will naturally be Min Xing.

From ancient times to the present, the wealthy lords of the family have always been both prosperous and lossy, Li Yan's recommendation of Min Xing has been supported by the Jiangdu Shizi Group, not to mention that there is a deeper reason, Min Xing is Xu Lin's henchman deployment, and Qin Quan's brother-in-law, there is this relationship, Xu Lin and Qin Quan are not too cold and hard, and there is finally a matchmaker.

Zhang Qing, Qin Zheng, and Sun Ligong had no objections to the three governors of the dynasty. The cabinet recommended, the five major governors acquiesced, and the Jiangdu Shizi group supported it, even if there were a few clan magnates with some ideas, they had to stop thinking at this moment.

Since it is expected by everyone, it is not far from ten, and it is really not unexpected, Emperor Zheng agreed, and ordered the appointment of the commander of the Northwest Right Route Army in Fujian.

......

There were two people who climbed to the highest observation tower on the cascading city wall of Zhongdu, Xu Lin, the governor of Zhongdu, and Minxing, the governor of Zhongdu.

Xu Lin held the battlements and overlooked the white grassland, and said: "The will of the Eastern Capital has come down, and it is a happy event that you have been appointed as the commander of the Right Route Army." ”

Min Xi smiled bitterly: "This is not an easy errand. ”

Xu Lin retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at Min Xing and said with a smile: "What do you say?"

Min Xing pressed one hand on the tiger-shaped buckle on his waist, and said: "The Metropolitan Governor is really considering his subordinates? To be honest, the Min family is not small, and it can be regarded as a leading family in Jiangdu, but this alone cannot make Li Xiang and other cabinet elders too concerned, they will nominate their subordinates, nothing more than the relationship between their subordinates and the King of Jin, and being the commander of the right army is just to let his subordinates be a bridge between the Metropolitan Governor and the King of Jin." ”

Xu Lin smiled faintly.

Min Xing continued: "Now that these three commanders are complete, the next step is to send troops to the grassland?"

Xu Lin said indifferently: "Don't be in a hurry, the transfer of grain and the people have not yet been fully implemented, and it is too early to say that the troops will be sent now." If Xiao Yu wants to win, he will definitely stare at the grain route of my Zhongdu army, and if the eastern capital wants to hold me hostage, he will also be bound to stare at the grain route of Zhongdu and even the five northwestern states. ”

Min Xing sighed: "Although this battle is in the northwest, it is the people of Jiangnan who suffer. ”

Xu Lin said with emotion: "Jiangnan is rich, it is the granary money bag of the imperial court, and it is necessary to transfer grain from Jiangnan for war, and to raise funds and transfer grain from Jiangnan for disaster relief." But you're a son of a family, and you care about people's livelihood and suffering?"

Min Xing shook his head and said softly: "I don't care about it, I just feel it, just like those Qingtan scholars, it's just a lip service." ”

Xu Lin said calmly: "The people's livelihood and suffering are what the princes of the court should think, you are a general, what you should think about now is how to win the war in the northwest." ”

Min Xing bowed his head and said, "The Governor of the Metropolitan taught me a lesson. ”

Xu Lin said in a deep voice: "In his position, since the will of the imperial court has come down, you will leave for Hanoi tomorrow." ”

Min Xing saluted and said, "No!"

At the same time, thousands of miles away, the court of the original king of Wusi.

When the horses returned to the house, instead of half a person greeting them, the entire palace seemed extremely quiet.

Just when Xiao Yu was strange, his brother-in-law Lin Han didn't know where to come out, came to Xiao Yu, looked at it with a ghostly look, scratched his head and smiled: "Brother-in-law, you're back." ”

Xiao Yu smiled: "What are you doing sneakily about?"

Lin Han smiled: "I'm here to report to your brother-in-law." ”

Xiao Yu said curiously: "What kind of letter? By the way, I was about to ask you, what's wrong with the palace today?"

Lin Han whispered: "That's what I'm going to say, this is the time when you go out, brother-in-law, my sister's mood is not very beautiful...... So, that, you get the idea, right?"

Xiao Yu was amused and said, "What do I understand?"

At this time, the gate of the palace, which had been silent for a long time, was opened from the inside.

Lin Han couldn't reply, smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and slipped away.

Xiao Yu looked at the woman's deliberately cold face, and somehow, she was a little weak-hearted, and smiled: "I'm back." ”

The woman sneered, "Do you still know to come back?"

Xiao Yu coughed dryly, "That's what I said, where can I go if I don't come back." ”

Lin Yinping's face softened slightly, but he still glanced at the guy who went to Xiliangzhou alone without saying hello, "I heard that you went to Xiliangzhou to talk about business with His Royal Highness King Jin, and you still had a good conversation?"

"It's late to see each other, His Royal Highness the King of Jin sent me all the way to Yumen Pass, and I want to stay in Xiliangzhou for a few more days. ”

Lin Yinping suddenly fell silent, and only after a while did he speak, "Are you okay?"

Xiao Yu smiled and pinched her cheek and said, "When did I have an accident? ”

Lin Yinping opened Xiao Yu's hand, turned around and walked towards the mansion, and snorted: "Remember to tell me next time you go out." ”

Xiao Yu hurriedly followed, and said one word with a smile: "Okay." ”

From beginning to end, Lin Yinping never mentioned half a sentence, and she was frightened and afraid of Xiao Yu during this time.
