Imperial Capital Chapter 48 The road is long and obstructive
Liu Xin guessed what the famous Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu Si commander Tongzhi Dai De'an would look like, it could be burly and brave, or it could be fierce and sharp-eyed, or it could be Gu Panzixiong with a heroic temperament, but it would definitely not be like this.
Dressed in a Confucian robe, his head is tied with green silk, his white hair is scattered, and his long white beard is like an old pedant.
This... Isn't this some great Confucian?
How could it be Mi Yusong's henchman, a figure under Jinyiwei, the famous Dai De'an!
"Liu Qianhu seems to be confused, why is a Jinyi guard commander Tongzhi such an old Confucian student?" Dai Dean said with a smile, but he didn't delay him to splash his pen and ink, and wrote a few big characters on a piece of rice paper.
Liu Xin was slightly stunned, but listened to Dai De'an put away his pen and said with a smile:
"Jinyiwei is a position, it is a position, and someone has to fill it. Martial artists are also human beings, and literati are also human beings. You get the idea. ”
Liu Xin nodded, and then asked his doubts, how did he become a deputy Qianhu.
Dai De'an picked up a square seal engraved with his name, and did not stain the mud, but put it to his mouth, sighed vigorously, and then held the seal to Liu Xindao:
"Because of the next task, the identity of the hundred households is not used. And as long as you complete the task, the merit is enough for you to be promoted to the deputy thousand households. That being the case, when this position is given to you, not all are the same. ”
With that, Dai De'an pressed the seal in his hand heavily on the rice paper.
After doing all this, Dai De'an motioned for Liu Xin to sit aside.
Liu Xin was not hypocritical, and sat down generously.
"I also know a little about you, I received a note from Lord Admiral yesterday, do you know what my first reaction was?" Dai De'an's room is full of ink, but it has a different calming effect.
Some uneasiness quickly disappeared in Liu Xin's heart, and Dai De'an's tone was soft, without a sense of aggressiveness.
Liu Xin thought about it and said seriously: "I don't know." ”
Dai Dean was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Since you don't know, why do you have to think about it." ”
Liu Xin said bluntly: "It's because I don't know, so I have to think." It was because I thought about it that I realized that I didn't know. ”
In the face of such an old pedantic character, Liu Xin has always been restrained, probably because he was psychologically shadowed by Mr.'s stick education when he was a teenager.
"Hahaha, interesting." Dai Dean smiled, "This is consistent with my first image of you. I just find you interesting! And when I received the note from the Admiral, my first reaction was, I found a treasure! ”
!!!
Liu Xin's heart was suddenly inexplicably shocked, he always felt that this Jinyi Guard, who was more like a Confucian commander, had something to say.
Liu Xin unconsciously straightened his waist and subconsciously became vigilant.
Dai De'an's eyes narrowed together, and when he laughed, his eyes couldn't even be seen, but Liu Xin's subtle movements fell on his eyes, causing his eyes to wrinkle more tightly.
"Liu Qianhu, get down to business." Dai De'an also straightened up and said:
"Lord Admiral asked you to come to Nanzhen Fusi, and it just so happens that there is something for you to do. You were investigating the Imperial Horse Prison case before, and the Imperial Horse Supervisor case involved the Hanzhong Military Horse Farm. Although Qi Ji's big black hand was found, the Admiral decided not to startle the snake for the time being, because Yuan Dongxiang's goal was relatively large, so he ordered you to go to Hanzhong. went to Hanzhong, obviously to inspect a quasi-thousand households newly raised by Jinyi Wei, and secretly entered the military horse farm. At that time, you will get a waist card representing the East Factory, with which you can freely enter and exit the Hanzhong Military Horse Farm. ”
Seeing Liu Xin frowning, Dai De'an continued to add:
"The arrangements for this journey have already been considered by Lord Admiral. You first set off secretly, and the horse rushed to the Hanzhong Military Horse Farm, and you can get everything you need with the Dongchang waist card along the way. At the same time, there will be a team of chariots driving in the name of Nanzhen Fusi to set off in Hanzhong, because the quasi-thousand households to be inspected are now serving in Hanzhong. Speaking of which, you should know about this matter, Shao Shiwang, a thousand households in the outer city, was assassinated by the enemy, and the position was empty, so someone operated and brought this person up. ”
Liu Xin nodded, he didn't expect that after a thousand households died, someone would make up for it so quickly.
Dai De'an continued: "There is a time lag of about fifteen days between you and the team of Nanzhen Fusi who set off later, and this time should be enough for you to investigate clearly. There will be someone inside the horse farm to help you. ”
Liu Xin smiled bitterly: "Lord Admiral really looks up to me." ”
Dai De'an's face suddenly turned solemn and said, "Lord Admiral's vision has always been accurate. ”
After a pause, Dai De'an's face softened: "Lord Admiral said, he didn't force you to do this matter, but he believes that you will make the right choice." ”
You really don't leave the Admiral, have you forgotten that you are the Jinyi Guard, your superior should be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Wang Zhongjie!
Liu Xin knew that he should not continue to hesitate at this time, so he said loudly: "The humble position must live up to the love of the Admiral. ”
Dai De'an waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be so one-size-fits-all, as long as things are done well." By the way, because this task is not easy, you can put forward some of your own needs, and within a reasonable range, I can help you do it. ”
Liu Xin's eyes flashed, and he looked up at Dai De'an, who looked at him with a smile and a kind face.
"There is indeed a reluctant request."
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"
Immediately, Liu Xin said his needs, and to Liu Xin's surprise, Dai De'an agreed to Liu Xin's needs very happily.
"I thought it was a reluctant invitation, this kind of thing is normal, rest assured, it's a trivial matter!"
After talking about the details of the task for a while, after everything was done, Liu Xin got up and said goodbye, he was ready, he was going to leave the next day, and he now had important things to do.
Dai De'an called him to stop, called a lieutenant, and gave a few orders. Then he walked to his desk, picked up the pair of words he had just written, and handed it to Liu Xindao:
"These words are given to you, good life, Lord Admiral now knows your name, just work hard, be a person with heart, you will get what you want."
Liu Xin looked at the few big words on the paper that the ink had not dried:
Knowing from the heart, seeing from the nature.
——
When Liu Xin took Dai De'an's order and came to the Thousand Households in Inner East City, he found that all the lieutenants looked at him strangely, but he didn't care. Because he knows the psychology of these people, he is just thinking, why did this person come back again, is he here to show off?
However, although he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, no one stepped forward to stop him.
Liu Xin came to Liu Licheng's duty room familiarly, just when Cheng Guotao came out of it, and the moment he saw Liu Xin, Cheng Guotao frowned deeply, with surprise on his face.
But the next moment, Cheng Guotao regained his smiling face.
"Liu Baihu, why are you back, but you have something to find Liu Qianhu?"
Liu Xin looked at Cheng Guotao's wrinkled face, and wanted to tease it for no reason, so he said:
"I'm not a hundred households anymore!"
"Ahh
Cheng Guotao was stunned for a moment, and then countless thoughts flashed in his heart.
This kid is not a hundred households, didn't he report on the first day, and he annoyed the Shangguan of the Nanzhen Fusi and directly deposed him?
Or is it that the East Factory unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, played a peach Dynasty Li Zhuang, and pretended to promote Liu Xin's official, but in fact, he was deposed, and then Liu Xin's part of the credit could be attributed to the East Factory. After all, if Liu Xin is directly deposed, then Liu Xin's part of the credit, the eldest brother will definitely not let go.
Many thoughts came one after another, Liu Xin saw Cheng Guotao stunned in place, and said with a smile: "I have been appointed as the deputy Qianhu, remember to change the title in the future!" ”
One moment, my mind was mottled with thoughts, and the next, my mind was empty.
Cheng Guotao seemed to have been struck by thunder, his mind was blank, he subconsciously stretched out his hand, and said two ahhhhh
Liu Xin had already turned sideways to avoid Cheng Guotao and walked into the duty room.
After a while, Cheng Guotao suddenly woke up, a pair of soybean eyes opened so open for the first time in his life, he suddenly turned around, his face was full of confusion, looking at Liu Xin's back, he didn't know what to say for a while.
This also... It's too fast!
Full of calculations, since Liu Xin joined Jinyiwei, it has only been more than ten days, what kind of powerful person has this kid climbed!
It's no wonder that Cheng Guotao thinks like this, Liu Xin's promotion speed is really fast. You must know that with the background of the disciples of Emperor Wu City, and the support of those who are in the upper positions of Emperor Wu City in the country, Liu Licheng is not a thousand households who directly act as a thousand households, but a thousand households who have been a hundred households for three years, and only after there is a vacancy can he be promoted.
How can this Liu Xin, how can he de?
But the next moment, Cheng Guotao remembered a person, the son who was about to become a thousand households in the outer city.
"Straight sissy thief! This group of damned dignitaries! ”
scolded in a low voice, Cheng Guotao couldn't keep a smile on his face anymore, and left quickly with hatred.
Now Liu Xin seems to have awakened the ability to make people hate itchy.
Cheng Guotao is like this, and so is Liu Licheng.
After Liu Xin showed Liu Licheng the promotion document signed by Dai De'an and another appointment order, the latter inevitably showed anger, but in front of Liu Xin, he was not good at attacking.
"All the 100 and 8 people from the 100 households in Wenxuanfang were transferred to the Fusi of Nanzhen, and the missing personnel of the 1,000 households in the Inner East City were replenished by themselves..."
Liu Licheng gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Baihu... No... Liu Qianhu, what does this mean? ”
Liu Xin showed a surprised look and said: "Lord Liu, don't you understand, I have just been promoted to the deputy Qianhu of the Nanzhen Fusi, and there is a shortage of people under me, and the colleagues of Wenxuanfang have cooperated well with us, so I applied to transfer them to my command." ”
Liu Licheng's head was beating suddenly, he was ready to give Wenxuanfang a big change, but it didn't mean that he was ready to change the entire Wenxuanfang hundred. That would be too troublesome, and it would lead to a shortage of major generals for the next period of time.
The most critical thing and what annoyed Liu Licheng the most was that he had just said that if Liu Xin's son was promoted in the future, it might cause him some trouble. Cheng Guotao also comforted him that when Liu Xin rose, he also had Qin Guogong's righteous son to help, who was afraid of whom!
But who would have thought that only two hours before and after Liu Xin left, the latter would come to the door and slap his face. And it's pap, pap, pap... The kind that lasts for a long time.
It is conceivable that when Liu Xin takes away the entire Wenxuanfang Hundred Households, he Liu Licheng will become a disgrace to the entire Jinyiwei.
But there was nothing he could do.
Because Jinyiwei is a special organization, the commander and the commander have great decision-making power, except for the appointment of a thousand households to be reported to His Majesty the Emperor for review, other official positions are decided by the three Jinyiwei.
In the past, the two commanders still needed to ask for the approval of the commander in the personnel appointment, but now the commander Wang Zhongjie completely delegated power, and the North Town Fu Division is Kou Gang's world, not to mention the South Town Fu Division, even if Wang Zhongjie does not give up power, the South Town Fu Division will not be in charge of him.
Forget it alone, the key north and south Zhenfu Divisions belong to the Jinyi Guard, and the personnel transfers between the two Zhenfu Divisions are even more casual.
It's just that no one looked down on anyone before, so naturally they won't mobilize the officials.
No one could have imagined that one day there would be an outlier like Liu Xin.
Even if you leave, you have to take all your subordinates with you.
This is a slap in the face, it is a slap in the face of him Liu Licheng!
Liu Licheng only has this one thought now, he himself can't imagine that taking away the people of the hundred households in Wenxuanfang is actually due to his persecution to a certain extent.
If it weren't for Liu Licheng's obvious intention to clean the 100 households in Wenxuanfang, Liu Xin would not have transferred people well.
After all, not everyone is willing to be transferred, some people may have deep connections in Beizhen Fusi, even if they are removed by Liu Licheng, they can go to other hundreds of households to work. For example, Guo Yong, he is the old man of Jinyiwei, and the relationship is very hard, if he can't stay here, naturally other places will accept him.
But Liu Xin can't ask everyone's thoughts one by one, it's too troublesome, it's better to pack it up and take it away.
Liu Licheng, who was stunned, wanted to be angry, but he still forcibly signed the paperwork, Liu Xin hugged his fists and said goodbye, not even bothering to say more than a word.
Liu Xin left Liu Licheng's duty room with his front foot, followed by the sound of the table in the room behind him being smashed in half.
The corners of Liu Xin's mouth were raised, and his heart was extremely comfortable, and the haze that had been lingering in his heart these days completely dissipated.
——
In the 100 households of Wenxuanfang, there is a state of depression.
When the lieutenants walked, they were weak, and several small flag officers and chief flag officers also stayed in their duty rooms, sighing for a long time.
"Lao Guo, do you think Liu Qianhu will send someone to us, or may we not be able to wait for the new Baihu to take office?" Ding Mingfu said with a dejected face.
"Lao Ding, a few of you may still see the new Baihu, I may be hanging. I'm still two years away from the age of removing my armor, so don't remove me this time. It's a pity that my son, who has been in the army for five or six years, is waiting to take my place. Liu Fu is the most honest and the oldest of the four general banners, when he said this, the sadness on his face was visible to the naked eye, and there were even unwilling tears slowly gathering in the corners of his eyes.
"Lao Liu, don't look like this, the eldest husband bleeds without tears!" Jiang Shixi is the most burly of the four, and his cultivation is also the highest, he once served in the border army, and he was also transferred back to be a brocade guard after Lao Tzu removed his armor. But to be honest, he doesn't like Jinyiwei, he prefers the hard days when he was in the border army, although the days are hard, but the big guy is happy.
"Lao Liu is old, and he thinks a lot about his children, you are a bachelor, you won't understand!" Ding Mingfu sighed, how could he not drag his family to his mouth, if he was really cut off from his position, although his son was still qualified to be a personal guard, but there was no one on duty to help him, who knows when he would be able to take his turn.
At the beginning of the establishment of the pro-army, what was required was the father's retirement and son's succession, which was regarded as a succession system. But when it comes to the actual operation, it will be found that if A has two sons, both sons are eligible to inherit the rights of the pro-army. After A's abdication, a son will take his place. At this time, if the other pro-soldier B has no heirs, then after he abdicates, he can let another son of A take over.
Of course, there may also be cases where both A and B have two or more children, so this group of extra people can only be regarded as having the right to inherit the pro-army, but they have no real job.
Later, gradually, as some meritorious people were exceptionally incorporated into the pro-army, such as some noble children. There are fewer and fewer of them, and there are more and more people who have the right to inherit.
The end result is that each pro-army attaches great importance to his position, strives to abdicate voluntarily, and then let his children inherit it.
Otherwise, if you want to make a vacancy elsewhere and let your children fill it, there is almost no such hope.
Wolves have more meat and less meat!
Ding Mingfu has two sons, one from Wen and the other from Wu. One tried the imperial examination, but if he couldn't do it, he could also enter the Jinyi Guard as a clerical position, and the other honestly waited to take over his position.
Now all of this could come to naught.
"Lao Guo, you have something to say, now the entire hundred households are looking gloomy, you are now our backbone, you say a word, everyone can be more stable."
Hearing someone say this, Guo Yong only breathed a sigh of relief. He is the oldest in the hundred households, because his son is still there. Guo Yong's father is an old brocade guard, and he has reached the position of 100 households by virtue of his qualifications.
It's just that Guo Yong's own ability is insufficient and he can't inherit his position as Lao Tzu. But it doesn't affect him to have a good network in Jinyiwei. Even if he met the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he was also an equal, because his Lao Tzu was older than the commander.
It may be for this reason that Guo Yong's expression is the calmest, but the calm on his face does not mean that he is the same in his heart.
The hearts of the people in the hundred households fluctuated, but he couldn't do anything.
"Hey!" Guo Yong wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a helpless sigh.
"What are you talking about?" A young voice came from the door of the duty room.
Guo Yong frowned, why is this young man so rude!
But the next moment, Guo Yong's brows stretched, and he got up and looked at the door.
"Willow... Liu Baihu! ”
Hearing Guo Yong's words, the other three general flags also stood up and looked at Liu Xin who was smiling at the door in surprise.
"A few people, what are you talking about, it sounds so sad!"
"Liu Baihu, you... Are you back? Guo Yong asked with a hint of anticipation.
Liu Xin shook his head, Guo Yong was suddenly disappointed, and bowed his head silently.
"I'm here to take you away!"
As soon as these words came out, Guo Yong instantly raised his head, and his neck clicked.
"Hiss~"
After listening to Liu Xin's story, Guo Yong pressed his neck, and just now, his neck was almost dislocated. After receiving the appointment document from Ding Mingfu, he read the contents of the document in disbelief, he didn't know what words to use to express it for a while, and the thousands of words finally turned into a sigh.
"Liu Baihu, Nanzhen Fusi actually opened a new Baihu for us!" Liu Fu was shocked, he couldn't have imagined that Liu Xin could have such great energy.
But Liu Fu still underestimated Liu Xin, Liu Xin said with a smile: "It's not a hundred households, it's a thousand households!" ”
The four of them were shocked at the same time, and Liu Fu's mouth opened the widest.
Liu Xin smiled and said: "I have been promoted to the deputy Qianhu of the Fusi of Nanzhen, and I asked Tongzhi to organize the construction of a new Qianhu office." Because I will leave the imperial capital and go to Hanzhong to carry out a mission, you will go with me, and these two days are just time to make preparations. By the time we returned, the new Thousand Households Yamen should have been arranged. ”
Guo Yong looked at the happy looks of the other three colleagues, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Liu Xin has only been here for more than ten days, and he has been promoted to deputy Qianhu, which shows that Liu Xin has found a thick thigh in these days when he is not in the hundred households.
Come to think of it, it should be the East Factory.
Regardless of what you say, those who are worried in the hundred households can be relieved.
Guo Yong's mood was the fastest and stable, he reacted, and immediately said, "Lord Qianhu, are we going to Hanzhong to carry out a mission?" ”
Liu Xin nodded, looking at Guo Yong with some puzzlement, not knowing why the latter asked.
Guo Yong said in a deep voice: "That place in Hanzhong is not easy to walk, I heard that there is a group of mountain bandits in Shaanxi that will pass along the way, and they are quite powerful. The imperial court was already discussing the matter of going on a crusade. If we want to go, I'm afraid we'll have to take a detour, or we'll be afraid of complications! ”
Liu Xin shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "The road is long and resistant!" ”
