In the lobby of Beizhen Fusi, Tian Ergen looked at the officials in front of him. As a commander, he naturally did not need to go to Beizhen Fusi on duty every day. He only came to inspect once in a while, which meant that he was a diligent commander.
It is almost a tradition for Jinyiwei to handle matters in their own residence. Matters that can be sent to the commander's residence and require the commander's approval are definitely things that Fusi in Beizhen would not dare to handle without authorization.
Since taking office, every time Tian Ergen came to the Zhenfu Division, he felt like a beast patrolling the territory. The fear and obedience of his subordinates made him feel very clearly that he was the master of this territory.
However, when he came to inspect today, the commander Xu Xianchun gave him such an embarrassment in front of all his subordinates, and his good mood disappeared in an instant.
"The Ministry of Rites sent people over to ask for people, saying that the Fanren mission and the soldiers of the Bingma Division were fighting. The Ministry of Rites can handle it on its own, so we don't need our Beizhen Fu Division to handle it. This matter has been reported to the Ministry of Civil Affairs a few days ago.
I have reached out to the commander, but there has been no sign from the commander!" Xu Xianchun said with some hesitation: "The Army and Horse Division are not willing to give up. After all, they have died. The commander must deal with this matter as soon as possible, otherwise
, I'm afraid it won't look good if we go to Eunuch Wei's place!"
"Do you still need me to explain this kind of thing?" Tian Ergen snorted: "How to deal with such things in the past, just follow the rules!"
"Sir, we can't follow the rules!" Xu Xianchun's face twitched slightly: "This man is arrogant and beats my soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to death in the street. If we are not severely punished, I'm afraid the Army and Horses Department will not be able to deal with them!"
"Just let the people from the Military and Horse Division come for my Jin Yiwei!" Tian Ergen was very unhappy: "Isn't it just a few soldiers from the Military and Horse Division who died? Let the people pay some money and appease them, and let them go.
, leave it to the Ministry of Rites to deal with the headache!"
"Yes!" Xu Xianchun bowed his head and responded without saying a word.
Tian Ergeng was put in a bad mood by this incident. Those Francois were sensible and gave them a lot of gifts as soon as they arrived in the capital. But in just a few days, something like this happened.
What a bunch of non-stop guys.
Not to mention, the Ministry of War is discussing with the Folangji people about purchasing Folangji cannons. The Folangji people know that the Ming Dynasty needs help from them. It is normal to be arrogant. Who are the guys from the Bingma Division?
If you don't open your eyes and provoke them, if you really want to punish them, who can the court find to buy a cannon?
He was not in a bad mood because of this matter, but because he had commanded Xu Xianchun to attack him in public.
Xu Xianchun also followed Eunuch Wei's path to direct the affairs. After all, everyone is Eunuch Wei's family. However, by questioning him in public, is this because he is not satisfied with what he is doing as a commander, or is it...
This guy also has ambitions to be a commander?
You have to suppress this guy a little bit, don't let this guy have a chance to show up!
He secretly made a decision in his heart. Once he caught his pigtails, he would never let such a guy stay by his side.
He left Beizhen Fusi. Following his order, the group of imprisoned Francois were also released. He watched these guys walk out of Beizhen Fusi arrogantly under the leadership of the people from the Ministry of Rites.
At the front door, Xu Xianchun showed a smile.
"What an idiot!" He shook his head slightly and looked at Xu Jian, who had been waiting for him for a long time, with a smile on his face.
"I'm just wondering how a capable person like you has been serving as a general bannerman for so many years, and it was only by chance that he was promoted to deputy 1,000 households not long ago!"
"I don't dare to take this seriously, I'm just lucky enough to think more about things than others!" Xu Jian lowered her head and said very respectfully.
"Don't be too restrained!" Xu Xianchun said with a smile: "I can't write two characters "Xu" in one stroke. The fact that you can think of me on this matter shows that you still have a good sense!"
"Speak carefully!" He picked up the tea bowl: "Don't have any scruples. Even if you say something wrong, I won't blame you!"
"My subordinate and the deacon of the Tenth Prince's Mansion, Jiang Wan, are neighbors and have a good personal relationship. When I followed Jiang Wan to visit the Commander-in-Chief that day, the Commander-in-Chief gave the prince a short-fire blunderbuss from the Fo Lang Machine in return!" Xu Jian poured out each word!
He said calmly: "However, when my subordinates were drinking with Jiang Wan the day before yesterday, they heard Jiang Wan say that His Highness King Xin saw this return gift and after trying to play with it, he was very unhappy!"
"Oh, why is this?" Xu Xianchun asked with interest.
"It seems that His Highness King Xin said that this kind of thing is exquisite and powerful. If a thief gets it and does something treacherous, it will be difficult to guard against it!"
"Ha!" Xu Xianchun laughed: "This is Commander Tian's flattery slapped on the horse's leg. It's really interesting!"
"Then Jiang Wan thought of me and wanted to find out the origin and number of this Folang Jihuo gun and who else had this thing in his hands. He wanted to make meritorious service in front of His Highness King Xin. His subordinate had just been promoted to Deputy Qianhu recently.
I want to take some credit, but if no one gives me guidance, I am afraid of making mistakes, misunderstanding that I am too close to the people of the Tenth Prince's Palace, and may even be suspected of cheating!"
Xu Jian looked at Xu Xianchun pitifully with a troubled look on her face.
"Why don't you tell the commander directly about this kind of thing? But why did you come to me?" Xu Xianchun laughed. To perform meritorious service, let alone the guy in front of him, he also wanted to perform meritorious service in front of His Majesty.
You have made meritorious service in front of Eunuch Wei!
"Sir Xu, you are my direct superior at the Dongcheng Qianhu Office!" Xu Jian said matter-of-factly: "Moreover, this blunderbuss was given to His Highness King Xin by our commander, if I want to make a contribution in this regard
, I’m afraid the command will make your Excellency unhappy!”
"You are a sensible person!" Xu Xianchun nodded reservedly: "If the commander really knew about this, I'm afraid that without blaming you, he would have already given face to His Highness King Xin. For your merits and so on, you
Just don’t think about it!”
"Then Jiang Wan, do I agree to this matter? Do you want to go and investigate this matter together?"
"Check, of course we have to check. This is a good thing, why not check!" Xu Xianchun pondered for a moment and nodded: "However, if you leak this matter and let the commander know about it, I will not protect you.
I won’t even admit that I saw you today…”
When Xu Jian heard this, her expression suddenly became even more bitter.
"However, if you get real evidence, investigate this matter clearly, and eliminate this hidden danger for the court, I will definitely ask for credit for you in front of Eunuch Wei in the future!"
"Thank you Master Xu, thank you Master Xu!" Xu Jian hurriedly promised: "My subordinates only reported this matter to Master Xu, and will never tell it to the second person. As for my brothers, they will not know about them."
What kind of errand are you doing!"
"That's good, go ahead and report to me how things are going at any time!" Xu Xianchun nodded and stood up: "Also, if there is a chance, call out the deacon of the Tenth Prince's Palace and tell him that I have invited him.
