Chapter 159: Xu Liang Canonized and Xu Xun Promoted
The Qianqing Palace had been busy for most of the night, but the cabinet had been busy for the whole night. Therefore, when he went to court early the next morning as usual, Emperor Hongzhi's spirit was naturally not much better, but Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, who were twice as old as him, Not to mention accommodating. As soon as the five important events, which sounded important but were actually insignificant, were finished, and as soon as the official speeches and introductions were completed, the emperor immediately nodded and signaled to withdraw from the court, without even staying for a moment. The three ministers I was also in a hurry to go back to my room to catch up on some sleep.
As for the young Zhu Houzhao, he didn't know that there was such an affair last night. Yesterday, he went to the Ministry of Personnel to listen, but because of a good word, he was lectured by Emperor Hongzhi for half an hour. He dared not touch it again today. He sent Liu Jin to the Supervisor of Ceremonies to inquire. However, although the four senior officials of the Supervisor of Ceremonies did not see what was written in the Secret Code and Yuzha Zhifeng, they knew the details. They were all tight-lipped, so that Liu Jin Hitting a soft nail, I had no choice but to go back and resume my life.
Zhu Houzhao wanted to sneak out of the palace again to inquire about the news. By the way, he asked Xu Xun what he had asked him to do. However, Chengqian Palace was much more careful than before, and Emperor Hongzhi actually sent someone to escort him to the Wenhua Palace to listen to the lecture. Book, no matter how reluctant he was, but with the golden words, he had no choice but to obey the order.
As for Xu Xun outside the palace, except for following Xu Liang to Xing'anbo Mansion to complete the necessary funeral rites on necessary days, he continued to stay behind closed doors for most of the following days, reading about Wang Shikun's previous trip to Beijing when he had nothing to do. After returning to the Imperial College, he had no idea that Zhang Mao had asked him to send the letter to Xie Feng, not for anything else, but for Xie Feng to accept him as a student! Although Xie Feng He didn't say clearly whether he agreed or refused, but Wang Shikun was asked to bring four boxes of books back, which made him deeply feel for the old gentleman in Nanjing, not to mention the guilt in his stomach.
He has always been the type of person who respects others as much as he respects me. He once made a scheme to make Zhang Mao lose face, but in the end, Zhang Mao treated him so kindly. How could this make him feel bad?
Suddenly, another ten or twenty days passed, and Xing'an Bo Xu Wei's Qiqi had been completed, and he just waited to choose a day to bury him. On this day, Xu Xun was reading a book and thinking about how many clues Huitong had found, and how many clues Huitong had found. At the same time, he was thinking about the fact that these days, under the guidance of Li Qingniang, he occasionally slipped away to Yangrou Alley to have sex with the little girl at night. Li Qingniang actually said that the little girl took the risk to "encounter" Mrs. Li Dongyang for him. He really felt sorry for it. Now he has settled his affairs. He should think of a way for the little girl to stand upright in front of others. While she was distracted, there was a sudden loud noise outside. After a while, with the sound of footsteps, Tao Hong pushed open the thick door curtain like a gust of wind. Rushed in.
"Master...Master, the angel is here!"
Within a few days of arriving in the capital, Tao Hong had already learned the names of officials and officials in the capital. Of course, this was also due to the words and deeds of Mr. Wang who often visited here. But now Xu Xun has passed the age and would regard angels as angels. Shi Ping, a black man, almost subconsciously put the book on the table, then stood up and asked: "Who is here? Is it my father who received the order or me?"
"What's coming is... Well, in short, it's a good thing, not a bad thing. Master, please change your clothes first!"
Seeing that Tao Hong opened the rattan box without saying a word to look for the uniform he wore when he met the saint before, Xu Xun was suddenly very strange. However, since it was a good thing, he was too lazy to think too much about it, so Tao Hong
He took off his home-made jacket and dressed him neatly in his official uniform. When he got out of the second door, he saw Xu Liang already standing in the yard, and in front of the incense table where he was receiving orders, there was
Behind Sun Bin, the ceremonial supervisor, who was holding Huang Ling's edict and writing, Ruisheng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was standing unexpectedly!
After nearly two months of separation, Ruisheng seemed calmer than before. At least when he stood there, people from the Tenth Palace were not as timid as before. However, at this moment, he saw
Xu Xun hurriedly came out of the second door, his face still showed undisguised surprise, but he still couldn't hold back and didn't move. He just stared at the man striding over, as if he couldn't get enough of it.
.
Although he only served Xu Xun for half a year, these six months were the happiest and most comfortable days in his life!
"The Emperor, who has been entrusted by heaven, issued an edict: Xing'an Bo Xu Wei died without any children, and there is a way to seize the title according to the law. However, in the past, Xing'an Bo Xu Xiang was diligent and careful in his merits, and he was posthumously named Wuxiang.
He ordered the officials to visit him and found Xu Wei's younger brother Xu Liang and Xu Yi. Considering his age, I hereby order Xu Liang to seize the title of earl of Xing'an and receive a salary of thousands of stones. Xu Yi still guards thousands of households with the banner. I admire this.
After the short imperial edict was read out, Xu Xun saw Xu Liang kneeling on the ground, his fingers digging into the ground tightly. Unexpectedly, his father, who had been running around for half his life, could not bear the sudden good news, and hurriedly raised his arms gently.
He bumped him with his elbow. It wasn't until Xu Liang finally burst out that thank you that he kowtowed in agreement. However, when he was about to help Xu Liang, he saw Sun Bin's voice coming from above again.
.
"Mr. Xu... No, you should change your name to Prince Xing'an Bo in the future. Next, there is an official appointment document given to you by the military subordinates, but it is not a decree, so you don't need to kneel down."
Xu Xun raised his head and saw Sun Bin smiling, and immediately helped Xu Liang to stand up. After Xu Liang took over the imperial edict wrapped in yellow silk, he stretched out his hand and took over the official appointment document of the Ministry of War. Waiting from beginning to end.
After reading it again, he unconsciously raised his head again and looked at Sun Bin, but because the courtyard was full of people, he did not ask rashly. He waited until Xu Liang returned to the main room to worship the imperial edict, and then invited Sun Bin to the main hall to serve tea.
, then he took the document and asked: "Eunuch Sun, this is..." Our family would like to congratulate the prince. Although according to the system of the Yongle Dynasty, there are a total of five commanders of the avant-garde army, except for you now
Apart from that, the other four are all idle and careless, and the same is true for the officers from thousands of families. Eunuch Xiao said, the emperor does not expect you to organize the army, nor does he expect you to lead the troops, because the prince
His Highness's request. So you only need to pick 500 people, whether they are from the regular army or the remnants, it's up to you. As for the officers, aren't you familiar with Ding Changsun? You can transfer a few through him. In short, three
Within five months, you must at least allow these people to be seen by His Highness the Crown Prince. Counting the days, you and Xing'an Bo will have to move again. In ten days, you will go to the Ministry of War to officially take up the post."
At this point, Sun Bin saw Xu Xun dumbfounded, so he smiled meaningfully and said: "If it were in the past, it would be difficult for you to convince the public at such a young age. But now that you are the son of Xing'an Bo, it will not be rude to be an advanced commander."
.Although it was Zhang Yong who gave His Highness the Crown Prince the idea, if it weren’t for Eunuch Xiao, how would anyone think of going to the vanguard of the imperial army? Eunuch Xiao also said that His Highness the Crown Prince has been detained in the Wenhua Palace to study these days, and has been complaining to the Tiandong Palace.
You must find some way to relieve the prince's fatigue by having fun. Since you are destined to get to know the prince, you will be responsible for the young army, and you will have countless opportunities to get along with the prince. You should think carefully about how to capture the prince's heart from those pleasures.
The Emperor only has a single seed, His Highness the Crown Prince, so it is best to keep him in good health."
Xu Xun was only serving five months of minor service. If Xu Liang had not wanted to seize the title, he would have been able to go out to see people after the first seven. As long as he wore mourning clothes, it would be fine. In addition, he and Xu Wei didn't have much affection, so naturally he didn't care about the mourning.
He took up the post within the period. Knowing that his position was partly Zhu Houzhao's intention, and partly Xiao Jing's urging behind his back, he naturally understood it, so he had to ask Sun Bin to tell Xiao Jing to express his gratitude. Sun Bin glanced sideways.
When Ruisheng saw him looking at Xu Xun as if he had something to say, he immediately stood up, smiled, patted the little guy on the shoulder, and went out first.
"Master..."
Seeing Ruisheng's eyes gradually turning red as he looked at him, Xu Xun couldn't help but lament in his heart, but an indescribable kindness arose spontaneously... He was still the little guy who always loved to cry! He stood up and walked away.
When he came to Ruisheng, he smiled as before and pressed his head, and then asked: "How about being in the palace?"
"Well, good!" Ruisheng nodded vigorously, as if he was afraid that Xu Xun wouldn't believe it, and added, "Eunuch Xiao treats me very well, except when he goes to Qianqing Palace to discuss matters with the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
I followed. Everyone was very polite to me, and Eunuch Sun also taught me writing and various rules. Now I can recognize five to six hundred characters!"
Seeing the proud look on Ruisheng's face, Xu Xun couldn't help but flick the little guy's forehead again. Seeing his bright eyes, he smiled and nodded and said: "Very good, you have grown up indeed! Only in the palace
You must remember that silence is golden, don’t try to be strong and talk nonsense, especially listen to the words of Eunuch Xiao and Eunuch Sun. Also remember, don’t be tempted just because someone in the palace says something about me, and don’t try to tip me off.
, you are now a member of the palace, please remember not to call me young master again..."
Xu Xun talked a lot eloquently, but the corner of his eye could not help but glance towards the door curtain. Although it was not clear whether Sun Bin had eavesdropped on something when he went out, it was not clear whether Rui Duo had heard anything.
The secret of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, but he still didn't want to bet on this possibility. He just grabbed Ruisheng's arms while talking, and lightly scratched the little guy's arm with his right index finger a few times.
It was the word "be careful". Seeing Ruisheng looking at him, he suddenly bit his lip and nodded vigorously, and then he smiled.
The first gate of the Imperial City's Northern Bureau of Ceremonies does not face north or south like the outer yamen, but faces west. After entering the gate, there are more than a dozen pine and cypress trees planted to the south, and behind it is a row of low houses. This is
It was the inner study hall that was famous among eunuchs.
All the young eunuchs in the four rooms together are only twenty or thirty people, one group from six to eight years old, one group from eight to ten years old, one group from ten to thirteen years old, and thirteen
There is another group of people from the age of sixteen to sixteen years old. The oldest ones are about to come out and be assigned responsibilities and work in various places, and the people giving lectures to them here are all real Hanlin. It can be said that those outside are studying hard for the imperial examination.
Few scholars who study hard can enjoy such treatment.
At this moment, Xiao Jing and Li Rong were standing outside the window of the inner study hall, watching the children reading the sages' books in a clear voice. Suddenly, Li Rong laughed and said: "Look at this
