Jin Yiwei, Beizhen Fusi.

Guo Ang reported various things to Mu Bin, especially when it came to the recent transfer of people from Jinyiwei to Yongping Mansion.

“…… His Majesty has a will, saying that all the people in the past must obey Cai Guogong's dispatch, at present, Cai Guogong will not go to Yongping Mansion, and the preparations and other matters are completed by Qianhu Sun Shangqi, and His Majesty will also transfer Jinyi Wei Qianhu Wang to come, and the two of them will have full authority to handle the affairs of Yongping Mansion......"

Guo Ang probably also knew that his errand as a pacification envoy in Beizhen was coming to an end, and he was trying his best to continue to be able to do an errand.

It doesn't have to be in Jinyiwei, because Guo Ang also knows that he can't be promoted to commander, so he can only seek a military position, work as an errand in the governor's mansion, and go to various border towns or places in the future, which can be regarded as a prince, or it will be better to obey orders than in Jinyiwei.

After listening to the report, Mu Bin nodded with satisfaction and said: "Gonggong Li mentioned to me that His Majesty has given Yongping Mansion to Cai Guogong, and he wants to build a city there, and the land, mines and various workshops will be built with it. The dockyard and shipyard are already under construction, and it is expected that the Tang Shilang, who had sent an envoy to Korea, will return and go over to take on the errand. ”

Guo Ang asked, "In what name?" Doesn't it mean that Jizhen is still Governor Liu today? ”

"Who knows?" Mu Bin said, "Why do we care about this? The people sent in the past are just following orders, and Jinyiwei is now ...... It is necessary to obey both His Majesty and Cai Guogong, but it is not up to you and me to decide. Earlier, His Majesty asked some convicted people to be transferred to Yongping Mansion to do things, how did it go? ”

Guo Ang said: "They are all connected with the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and they used to go to the northwest when they migrated, but now those prisoners are quite happy to hear that they are going to Yongping Mansion." ”

"Hmph, that's not it, Yongping Mansion is close to Jingshi, and it is still a prosperous place in Gyeonggi, even if they are also doing coolies and doing odd jobs, going to Yongping Mansion can be regarded as their ancestors burning incense." Mu Bin said in a cold tone.

"Uh......"

Guo Ang wanted to say something, but he couldn't seem to open his mouth.

Mu Bin glared at him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Guo Ang said: "Lord Mu, you should also know that yesterday the British Duke sent someone to Jinyiwei, saying that he wanted to ask for a guilty family to go back, but it was Mrs. Baoguo. ”

Mu Bin snorted lightly again: "There are quite a lot of people who think about her." ”

Guo Ang said helplessly: "I also heard that this lady of the Baoguo Mansion is very strong, she was already in charge of the house when Mrs. Tai was still there, and she listened to her in all the affairs of the house, since the death of her husband...... In the past few years, both people inside and outside the house have known about her ...... Awesome. ”

Because Zhu Hui's mother died early, although the stepmother is Zhang Mao's sister, it is obvious that Zhu Hui will not take this stepmother seriously.

"Hmm." Mu Bin nodded, "I also heard that in the first few years after the death of the old man, his body was not good, and the affairs of the government basically did not matter. ”

Guo Ang said: "Exactly. It was also the previous Baoguo Gong who was very powerful, and the remaining generals in Beijing had to go to the knot. ”

"Humph!" Mu Bin sneered, "When the family was strong, there were many problems for people in the first life, and many people were offended, and now that they are in trouble, of course they will not end well." People in officialdom are like this, if it is a civil minister, it is fine, when it comes to these lords and generals of the Governor's Mansion, there are not a few people who have been in trouble in recent years. ”

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, after the Battle of Jingyan, the imperial court was still courteous to the Wenchen who was born as a Jinshi.

Even if Wenchen has bad deeds, he only dismisses the official and returns to his hometown, but the situation of the military general's background is very different, and there are people who raid their families and exterminate their clans.

Guo Ang was a little embarrassed: "Now that Britain is speaking publicly, I am afraid that it is not good not to give this face." ”

Mu Bin looked at Guo Ang coldly again, seeing that Guo Ang's hair was straight, and he didn't dare to look at Mu Bin.

Mu Bin said: "What's the matter, you started to think of a way out for yourself?" ”

"Humiliation is not ...... meaning"

Guo Ang hurriedly explained to himself.

In fact, it is no secret that Guo Ang is about to leave Jinyiwei, and Guo Ang's next stop is naturally Jingying, because he doesn't have to go to the frontier to work hard, and he is transferred to the past as the envoy of the Fusi of Jinyiwei North Town, even if he is not the general in charge, he is also the deputy of the commanders of each battalion.

So now Guo Ang will find a way to go to the British Duke of the Governor of Jingying.

After all, it is likely to be Guo Ang's direct boss after that.

"Come to think of it, such a woman, even if she is sent to Yongping Mansion, she can only do some chores such as moving, lifting, washing and cooking, and with her rich background, I am afraid that she will not be able to do it well. On the contrary, the British Duke has already come to ventilate, if you really ignore it, even if you command Mou to make you...... I'm afraid that it will not be easy to get along with him again in the future. ”

Guo Ang hurriedly explained.

I'm not commanding for myself, I'm commanding for you.

I said I'd just go, and you thought you would be able to stay in your current position for a long time?

When you're about to be transferred out of Jinyiwei, where do you want to go? Do you dare to say that you will have no interests with the British Duke in the future?

Mu Bin didn't say anything when he heard this.

Obviously, offending Zhang Mao for the sake of a convicted official is a bit more than worth the loss, especially the old man Zhang still likes to hold grudges.

To say that Bao Guogong had a bad reputation in the officialdom before, and his reputation as an old man Zhang was not so strong, the top and bottom of Beijing and even the court, who didn't know that Zhang Mao regarded Beijing as his own back garden, and he was up and down in the implementation of procurement and other things?

However, this is also a common problem in the Ming army.

No one is clean.

Seeing that Mu Bin didn't say anything further, Guo Ang couldn't help but ask again: "My lord, can you give me a meaning?" Listen to you. ”

"Where is that man now?" Mu Bin's tone was not as hard as before, but it still gave people a cold breath.

As soon as Guo Ang heard this, he said: "People are temporarily placed in the Zhuangzi outside the city, in the end, they are the wife of Baoguo, and Baoguo Gong has only been convicted of exile, and has not yet been condemned to death, but he has not been treated lightly." ”

"This kind of thing, you can see for yourself."

Mu Bin casually left a sentence.

The meaning is also very simple, I agree with you to do things, but I don't give you direct instructions, what happens in the future will be held responsible by you Guo Ang, who let you Guo Ang want to go to the British Duke to do things like this?

Of course, Guo Ang knew that he couldn't ask Mu Bin to "support" himself, this kind of thing, he still had to carry the black pot.

Guo Ang said: "I'm just afraid that if I ask above in the future......"

"No, it won't."

Mu Bin said conclusively, "Your Majesty has made a will, even if there is an amnesty or other things in the future, you will not forgive the sins of Baoguo Gong, even if this line ends here, you can put your heart back in your stomach." ”

"Then if Cai Guogong asks about ......"

"What do you mean? Do you think Cai Guogong cares about such a half-aged? ”

Mu Bin was also angry.

Letting you do it has already given you face, do you still want to shirk responsibility or what?

Guo Ang hurriedly said: "I just hope that if someone asks in time, I hope that the commander will give you a ride." ”

"Hmm."

Mu Bin was already impatient, and then waved his hand and asked Guo Ang to get out of the way as soon as possible.

When Guo Ang left, Mu Bin called someone over and said, "Send someone to invite Sun Qianhu over, I still have something to tell him." ”

Now Mu Bin no longer regards Guo Ang as the second-in-command, and now he has something to dock with Sun Shangqi, which also makes Mu Bin feel relieved, after all, that is Zhang Zhou's descendant.

……

……

After Guo Ang got Mu Bin's approval, he immediately sent someone to take Mrs. Baoguo from Zhuangzi outside the city, in a carriage, and directly sent her to Zhang Mao's other courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing.

As soon as the person arrived, the person surnamed Zhong picked him up at the door.

When I saw that it was a woman in her forties, although she looked shrewd and capable, she had nothing to do with the woman's appearance or anything, and even the surname Zhong felt that she was ...... Zhang Mao: This is purely for revenge.

"Ma'am."

The guest surnamed Zhong was very polite, after all, the woman in front of him used to be a favored person.

Mrs. Baoguo also hurried to give him a salute.

"Please come over here."

The one surnamed Zhong led the way.

Behind him, he just followed Mrs. Baoguo and a mother-in-law, and when he arrived at a flower hall at the back, the man surnamed Zhong waved his hand to retreat the mother-in-law.

"Madame's daily life here in the future, tell Aunt Xu directly just now, she is also an old man here."

"Yes."

The former noblewoman can only bow her head in front of a British public guest.

The two of them entered the threshold, but they saw that it was only a small hall with simple furnishings.

Just when Mrs. Baoguo was curious about why this person brought herself here, she heard the surname Zhong say: "Please wait here, Mrs. has sent someone to invite the old man, and it is estimated that he will arrive before sunset." ”

"Yes."

Mrs. Baoguo is still standing there.

The clothes on his body no longer look luxurious, but they are very clean, and he obviously did not suffer much in the edict prison, and later he was directly placed in a manor outside the city to live, and was originally sent directly to Yongping Mansion as a criminal dependent, and was temporarily sent here...... She is also well aware of her future destiny.

"Please wait on your knees, Madame." The surname Zhong finally bared his fangs.

When Mrs. Baoguo heard this, her body still trembled slightly.

Obviously, this is to give him a dismount.

But under the eaves, I had to bow my head, and Mrs. Baoguo also looked at the ground after a little hesitation, obviously she wanted to ask, it is so cold here, when it is already autumn, let me kneel here?

Obviously, the person surnamed Zhong didn't care about this, he had already walked to the door, and said in a condescending tone: "Grandpa may intercede for the people of your mansion, and Madame is better to be pious, this is all a matter of face." ”

Mrs. Baoguo thought about it, her husband was sinned and exiled, and her children are still sinners, and the slaves in the family can't take care of anything, but they also want their children not to suffer, even if they are used as cattle and horses for Zhang Mao?

Originally, she had no choice.

Daming has fallen into the crime of officials, and there are not a few like her.

She didn't make any reply, and slowly knelt down.

The surnamed Zhong left satisfied, and went to the door to wait for Zhang Mao who returned.

……

……

Zhang Mao was still working in Beijing, and he was going to ask Zhang Zhou to mention the matter after the end of the shift, but after learning about it temporarily, he didn't even care about the errand at hand, and he was anxious to leave the city.

When the staff surnamed Zhong helped him dismount, he smiled and said, "Grandpa, you don't have to be in such a hurry. ”

Zhang Mao jumped off the horse, glanced at the staff and said, "You don't understand." ”

The staff was just laughing.

What's so hard to understand about this kind of thing?

The two of them came into the courtyard with their front and back feet, and Zhang Mao asked eagerly, "Where are the people?" ”

"In the east hall of the backyard, I told her to kneel and wait there." The surname Zhong Dao.

"Aren't you embarrassed? What do you think? Do you think I'm going to be mean? Zhang Mao was complaining, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

The guest surnamed Zhong was also snickering.

Do you need to be afraid of being known by outsiders about your own affairs? What do outsiders think? You're really trying to save face.

Zhang Mao's three steps turned into two steps, and when he arrived at the door of the backyard, he still blocked the curtain guests, meaning that he could just go in by himself.

When he arrived at the flower hall, he saw that the door was open, and before he turned to the door, he saw the once invincible Mrs. Baoguo kneeling there, which made Zhang Mao a little more arrogant.

"Oh, ma'am, why is this a big gift? The old man is late! ”

Zhang Mao adjusted his mood, and after turning around, the voice arrived before others.

At this time, Mrs. Baoguo looked up slightly and saw him come in, and quickly lowered her head.

"Hurry up, hurry up, in terms of seniority, Dongyang is still my junior, such a cold day, such a cold ......"

Zhang Mao spoke so formally and politely, looking very scene, but after stepping into the threshold, he directly reached out to help.

Originally, Mrs. Baoguo was going to dodge, but she couldn't stand it, Zhang Mao's hand had already grabbed her arm, and then she didn't react, and the person was lifted up by Zhang Mao.

"Grandpa, you ......"

Mrs. Baoguo seemed very restrained, and she also wanted to remind Zhang Mao that she still had to take care of the etiquette in the end.

But as soon as the words came out, she realized that she had no right to refute at this moment.

Zhang Mao can do whatever he wants.

"Look, madam, you're much haggard." After Zhang Mao helped the person up, he still refused to take his hand back, and said with a hypocritical concern on his face, "The old man saw An Yuanhou before, and he came to me to intercede, saying that he asked the old man to intercede with Dongyang, and I went to Bingkuan's house. ”

"That'...... Cai Guogong ......"

Mrs. Baoguo felt that she had accepted her fate before, but when she heard this, there were still some waves in her heart.

If it is really as Old Man Zhang said, it is not easy to determine whether this is a good person or a wicked person.

Zhang Mao said: "It's a pity that Bingkuan still has a businesslike tone, which means that he doesn't care, the old man can only find a way to help Dongyang's family first and do some things to settle down." Madam, you may be seated. ”

Saying that, Zhang Mao also looked very intimate, and helped Mrs. Baoguo to sit on the chair.

Then Zhang Mao sat back on the chair next to him, with a coffee table in between, which also made Mrs. Baoguo's face a little more normal.

"The safety of the concubine is small, and I ask my grandfather to be the junior in the family...... Do something, the concubine body must be a grandfather, you will be a cow and a horse. They're still ...... Suffering in prison. Speaking of this, Mrs. Baoguo couldn't help but wipe her tears.

Zhang Mao said with a smile: "The old man will naturally find a way, and he can help everyone if he can, which is also a help in terms of etiquette." Is the old man the one who doesn't know how to count? Madame don't have to worry, in a few days, the old man will let you do it. ”

This is clearly a hint that you were rude to me at the beginning, because you don't understand etiquette.

Isn't it in my hands now? (End of chapter)
