Chapter 2 The traitor is in charge
After leaving the palace, all the officials of Jinyiwei came to Ying Wuxian's house one after another, which was also the habit of several people.
Although the New Year's Yamen has sealed the pen, for Jinyiwei, as long as the commander is there, there is no distinction between public and private, and everything that should be talked about must be discussed.
"The New Year's Day, I didn't want to annoy the adults, but it was really a little tight over there," a thousand households said with a sad face: "The northwest has been a little unstable in recent months, and several groups of horse thieves have come out in a row, which has caused many rivers and lakes, and I am worried that if I don't deal with it as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will ...... in the future" Ying Wuxian frowned and listened, he had a wine-colored expression on his face, and after hearing this, he waved his hand: "A little bandit trouble is not to worry, and the local yamen can deal with it." The Qianhu was a little anxious, but Ying Wuxian glared back, and another Qianhu on the side stopped him and signaled him to stop talking.
Seeing that the other party was no longer talking nonsense, Ying Wuxian nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, let's talk about serious things, the queen mother has been missing Jiangnan a lot recently-Zhang Qianhu, you can run." Zhang Qianhu was the one who mentioned the bandits in the northwest just now, and he should be told to stop talking when he wanted to speak, but in the end he still responded: "I understand my humble duties." Ying Wuxian emphatically explained: "The queen is sweet, remember, this is a big deal." Zhang Qianhu's face showed bitterness: "I understand that I understand that I must not let the commander disappoint the adult." β
"Okay, you go, go early and come back early." Ying Wuxian sent the man away, and then several brocade guards also said goodbye one after another, and the last one left was Qianhu Cui Yixiao.
After there is no one else, where can Ying Wuxian still see the absurdity of being confused by wine, and some are just as calm and ruthless as wolves.
"Lao Cui, you are staring at this matter in the northwest in private, I always feel that something is wrong, Miss Ah Lan has only been away for a long time before it has been like this, I am afraid that it was premeditated." There should be no mourning in a deep voice.
"I know." Cui smiled and bowed. Ying Wuxian said again: "There is one more thing, the Chen family has been a little dishonest recently, you can find an opportunity to 'remind' them." Cui smiled and said, "Do you want to talk to Miss Chen?" β
"No need, the people of the Chen family have all jumped up to Niangniang, if this eldest lady hasn't heard any rumors, I don't believe it," Ying Wuxian sneered: "I think she also has a little temptation." "Six years ago, the strength of the Chen family was greatly damaged, and everyone was not optimistic about Chen Yin, the eldest lady of the Chen family, and then Chen Heguang died, she completely mastered the Chen family, and she successfully suppressed the division over the years, and once again made the Chen family a whole.
In this respect, Chen Yin, the leader, is undoubtedly successful, and she is much better than her brother when she can reintegrate the Chen clan with the former wolf and the tiger and the Jinyi guard waiting for the opportunity to dismantle the stage.
However, she didn't expect Jinyiwei to relax her attitude towards her, and Chen Yin immediately wanted to put his hand into the palace, which undoubtedly touched Jinyiwei's bottom line.
You must know that the reason why today's Jinyiwei can still maintain its original glory is all due to the emperor's favor, in a sense, this generation of Jinyiwei should be regarded as the emperor's most trusted eagle dog, after all, the emperor himself is born in Jinyiwei.
In terms of understanding the emperor, no one can be stronger than Jinyiwei, unless there is a big change in the future, otherwise a pair of children born by the queen will be the lord that Jinyiwei will be loyal to in the future, which naturally makes them very concerned.
"I understand." Cui Yixiao wrote it down carefully and left. After taking care of everything, Ying Wuxian finally had time to take a breath, and before he sat down, the maid outside came in and served tea, and then a gentle-looking woman entered.
This is the one who interrupted the Chen woman's speech in Fengqi Palace before, Ying Wuxian saw her with a smile on his face: "Madam is here." "Ying Wuxian got married in the first year of the new emperor's accession to the throne, married a girl from the Wu family, and he was already supported by Wu Qiming, and this marriage can be said to be close to each other.
This girl from the Wu family died young, and she has only been in her teens for ten years, when it comes to her family background, she married Ying Wuxian back then, but the relationship between the couple is very good.
"Husband has worked hard," Wu Yaoyao smiled with her eyebrows, she took the tea from the maid and served it to Ying Wuxian, and joked in her mouth: "Husband's reputation is not as good as before, but recently, several ladies have been laughing at concubines openly and secretly." Although she said bad things, Wu Yaoyao didn't mean to sneer in her eyes, she knew that this was a means to be an official, even if she was the commander of the Jinyi Guardβno, it should be said that it was precisely because of staying in this position that he had to make some for himself
"Weakness". Even if the emperor knows everything about him, this is the rule of the game, and if he behaves impeccablely, those ministers will not be at ease with him.
Therefore, after getting the guidance of the masters, Ying Wuxian often showed his position of power in front of outsiders, and he was even better friends with Cao Yuan of Dongchang, often inquiring about some news in the palace, and learning from others, relying on the preferences of welcoming the queen to please the emperor in disguise.
"Madame, don't make fun of me," Ying Wuxian took a sip of tea, smiled helplessly on his face, and then asked, "By the way, what happened at the banquet in the palace today?" Wu Yaoyao knew what the other party was going to ask, so he told him what the Chen family had done at the banquet, and after listening to it, Ying Wuxian first sneered, and then said to her appreciatively: "Madame did the right thing." The smile in Wu Yaoyao's eyes deepened, and she said again: "By the way, the concubines who need to move around in the New Year have already prepared a list, remember to take a look at it when the husband is free, and there is one more thing-" Wu Yaoyao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The concubine heard that Lord Yan has the intention of retiring, and there are rumors that Lord Cui is going to take over the post of Zhenfu, but I don't know if this news is ......?" Ying Wuxian did not hide his wife, he said bluntly: "Lord Yan is old, it is not appropriate to fight and kill again, he will be transferred to the military department after the year, and Lao Cui will take over the part of Beizhen Fusi." Wu Yaoyao nodded: "Since this is the case, then the gift to the Cui family will be a few more points." Ying Wuxian said: "Madame decides, you did it in previous years, I am very relieved." β
"Okay." Wu Yaoyao responded with a smile. Ying Wuxian looked at the list in his hand casually, and couldn't help it
"Huh" said: "How is it twenty-nine, I remember that it is not twenty-eight?" Wu Yaoyao winked at Ying Wuxian: "Husband, have you forgotten, you were busy years ago, and I wish you that the old man hasn't been there yet." β
"Wishing my lord? Which ...... should be stunned: "Old Tongzhi? He hasn't retired yet? In fact, Ying Wuxian subconsciously wanted to ask that Lord Zhu was still alive, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that it was inappropriate to ask like this, so he immediately changed the question.
He remembered that when he joined the Jinyi Guard, Zhu Tongzhi was an old fool who was about to enter the ground, and now after so many years, the old man seems to have not changed at all, and he seems to be old and decayed, but in fact, Yan Feng, who is two generations younger than him, is about to retire, and this old man is still guarding the Jinyi Wei case library.
Wu Yaoyao smiled knowingly: "The old Tongzhi is in good health, and my uncle will go to play chess with him in two days. Wu Yaoyao meant something, and Ying Wuxian immediately understood: "Madame reminds me that Lord Tongzhi is the old man of Jinyiwei, and if I don't go, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of my brothers." Wu Yaoyao stopped at the point, she looked at the business and finished speaking, and looked at the sky outside that it was not early, hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Husband, today I asked the kitchen to prepare a few dishes you like...... Ying Wuxian shook his head and said: "There is another game with a few friends at night, Madame doesn't have to wait for me to eat, I can't come back later, Madame will sleep first." Wu Yaoyao lowered her head and bit her lip lightly, but there was still an understanding smile on her face: "I understand." β
