Xu Xun stared at Liu Jin with a strange expression, and the person in front of him seemed to have transformed into a familiar bald man. However, Liu Jin did not notice his change, and smiled and said: "I haven't read many books, and I don't know the words.
Not much, but I remembered this sentence right away when I accompanied the prince to listen to the lecture.
We, Brother Xu, and you all have an unstable foundation, and the battle is uncertain. If we are ambushed and lose, will we still be alive?"
Seeing that Xu Xun was silent, Liu Jin mistakenly thought that Xu Xun could not hold back such a good opportunity, and hurriedly said: "Moreover, that guy Zhang Yong doesn't care about the future, and he doesn't even bother to inquire about the current situation in the DPRK."
.Those bosses are all opposed to the use of troops. I heard that Wang Shouren was refuted in the Ministry of War meeting a few days ago and was disgraced. Even if the prince came forward, he might not be able to get a good deal. When the time comes, it will be us who instigated it, don't you think?
"
Xu Xun had already heard about Wang Shouren's refutation from Wang Shouren, but Liu Jin, an official in the East Palace, was able to find out about the ministry meeting. It was really extraordinary that he had good ears and eyes. So while he was shocked on his face, he was also making quick calculations in his heart, and then he
He gave a thumbs up to Liu Jin: "Okay, Old Liu, you can even find out the news from the Ministry of War. This is really amazing!"
"No, it's all because I have a good relationship with Gu Dayong." Liu Jin smiled slyly and lowered her voice and said, "I'm just telling you this. Although the West Factory has been abandoned long ago, His Highness the Crown Prince has always felt that Jin Yiwei
He was a foreign minister, and the old guy Wang Yue of the East Factory was not easy to deal with, so he asked Gu Dayong to lead a group of spies to inquire about the information, so that he would have a foundation for rebuilding the West Factory in the future. That guy Gu Dayong and I wear a trousers, and everything
He often asks me, not to mention that this kind of news doesn’t bother him to find out, so it’s nothing.”
Only then did Xu Xun realize that the rumor of rebuilding the West Factory had indeed come from the East Palace. He complimented Liu Jin a few more times and saw that the wrinkles on his face were softened by a smile, so he took advantage of the situation and asked:
"But after all, the West Factory has been disbanded for more than 20 years. Jinyiwei and Dongchang are equally divided in the capital. Eunuch Gu's job is not that easy?"
"Isn't that true?" Liu Jin sighed and shook his head, and said bitterly for a moment, "Jin Yiwei is just fine. Ye Guang has a character that doesn't offend others unless they offend me. Moreover, when doing things fairly, we will never overdo it. We do things
As long as you don't provoke him, he is determined not to take care of it. But Wang Yue from Dongchang...hey, this old guy protects his own one-third of an acre of land, not to mention that the water will not get in, and he is still afraid of it.
Someone else stole his business, and Gu Dayong had already suffered a fatal blow in his hands! The people in the West Factory had long been dispersed, and those students, relatives, and friends of those old men were punished so badly. As a result, besides Wang Zhi, Wei
Who will end well for Huan Wu Shou and those under his command? Alas, why is it so difficult to find a job these days?"
Liu Jin complained loudly, but Xu Xun thought of Huitong, who had just left Jin Liu and disappeared without a trace. However, he would not directly recommend him in front of Liu Jin, but would follow the person's tone.
Said: "In that case, why not ask people to go out and ask if there are any old Xichang troops left in the capital. Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. Eunuch Gu is a close confidant of His Highness the Crown Prince. This alone is enough for those who are surprised.
The bows and crows flock to each other like a flying bird."
"That's what you said. I'll mention it to Gu Dayong later to save him from pestering me all day long."
Liu Jin came to Xu Xun today because of the West Factory matter. Seeing that Xu Xun was really giving him advice, he immediately coughed and said: "Brother Xu, Gu Dayong has always envied me and you.
He is very close, so there is something he cannot tell you, so he entrusted me to tell you about Xiang Yier. It was the previous incident, although he led dozens of spies, but after all, his name was not justified.
.And think about it, for that big case of Zheng Wang, neither Dongchang nor Jinyiwei had any news beforehand. It was His Highness and we who took action, and then we were able to catch it. I know that you and the Chief of Ceremony, Xiao
Hello, father-in-law, so I want to ask you to give it a try and see if the West Factory can be opened in a legitimate manner. Even if it is just a name in the Director of Ceremonies and not disclosed to the public."
"This..." Xu Xun suddenly showed a troubled expression. Seeing Liu Jin staring at him, he smiled again and said, "Although this matter is difficult, it is not impossible to give it a try. However, Mr. Liu, you are really loyal.
Even if this west factory is really open, it will be led by Eunuch Gu, and you are still bothering to go back and forth."
Liu Jin's words were so loyal that he smiled widely and almost narrowed his eyes: "That's right, I am a well-known loyal Liu in the East Palace. When my friends are in trouble, I can't help but run away. What's more, Gu Dayong and
I am good enough to wear a pair of trousers, so I should help. If the West Factory really opens up, everyone in the East Palace will be able to benefit, right? I, Mr. Liu, came to you without asking for anything, and it is also because Mr. Xu, you are honest to people.
, sincerely. By the way, Eunuch Xiao will take a rest in a few days and will probably go back to his residence to rest. I will let someone inform you at that time."
After seeing Xu Xun for a moment, he finally nodded and agreed readily, saying that if he saw Xiao Jing next time, he would definitely ask about it. Liu Jin was naturally overjoyed and immediately called Xiao Yao'er to serve the wine and forced Xu to do so.
Xun Xun exchanged cups and cups, until Xu Xun was too drunk and refused continuously. Then he ordered the servant to drive the person back. As soon as the person left, he laughed proudly.
You know, nowadays, there are at least seven or eight eunuchs who are responsible for the ceremony, and there are at least five or six people who are employed by the emperor. If the west factory is really going to be opened, where can it be used by Gu Da? The entire East Palace Zhu Houzhao
Among the eunuchs whom I trusted, the only one who was of high grade was Gao Feng, the eunuch in charge of rituals and in charge of the Dianxi Bureau of the East Palace.
But all these years, others only remember working hard in front of Zhu Houzhao, but he only served the old eunuch extremely well. What is the difference between the West Factory falling into Gao Feng's hands and his?
Although he had to live in the military camp outside Andingmen these days, it was already too late to leave the city today. Xu Xun took Liu Jin's car back to Xing'anbo Mansion and simply stayed at home for one night.
He learned about the many versions of the battle between Zhu Hui and Miao Kui. After a good night's sleep, he left the house early in the morning, but just when he rode out of Anding Gate alone, he saw the city gate.
In the long queue outside to enter the city, there was a figure looking left and right. As soon as the two cars met, he recognized the person. Seeing many carriages and horses leaving the city behind him, he pretended to avoid it and dodged to the side. He passed by the man.
After a while, he just felt like the other person had stuffed something into his boots.
When he reached a fork in the official road, Xu Xun turned onto a less traveled path. He bent down and took out his boots and found a small piece of paper with a few simple lines written on it.
"The Ying San who instigated Qi Jiliang and Xu Yi has been found. This person was ordered by Jiao Fang, the official official minister. Jiao Fang wanted to be the official official minister, so he used his strength to promote him."
Xu Xun crumpled the note into a ball, and his face showed unconcealable anger. Not only did he and Jiao Fang have no grudges, they didn't even have any relationship at first. This old guy plotted against him again and again.
Could it be that Xu Xun was easy to bully when he was young?
In the evening, the East-West Jiangmi Alley was once again filled with officials returning home from the major yamen on both sides. However, in the early morning, the busiest East-West Chang'an Street was silent. At the gate of Jiao's Mansion on West Chang'an Street, Jiao Fang lowered her head and got off the sedan chair.
Butler Li An immediately came forward quickly and took the opportunity to help his master get out of the sedan chair and whispered something to Jiao Fang.
"Master, there is news about Jinling. Yunfu should be Xu Jin, the eldest son of the Xu family in Taiping."
"Okay!" Jiao Fang nodded, and after he got off the sedan and stood up, he said calmly, "If you treat people as if they are dead, you are not allowed to leave the house even half a step, but don't act rashly in other ways."
"yes!"
Ma Wensheng escaped the impeachment of Wang Gai Wu Hui and secured his position. However, he failed to suppress Xu Xun before, and his reputation was slightly damaged after all. Jiao Fang used his career as an official to retreat in order to advance, and received the emperor's approval, so he was in the official department.
Finally, there was a faint tendency to compete with Ma Wensheng. Now that I have received such good news, my worries about my son's grades in the high school entrance examination have been alleviated a lot. After having a few drinks in the evening, I enjoyed myself in the study.
I was reading a book until I suddenly heard a call from outside.
"Master, there are guests outside to pay homage!"
Recognizing Li An's voice, Jiao Fang frowned slightly, and then asked calmly: "Who is it?"
"Rong Xiao, come in and report." Following these words, Li An entered the room. After closing the door, he stepped forward. Seeing Jiao Fang's face slightly sullen, he hurriedly saluted and whispered, "Master, this is Xing'an
Prince Bo!"
"Oh?" Jiao Fang immediately dropped the book in his hand, stood up suddenly, with a hint of surprise on his face. But in just a moment, his expression disappeared without a trace, and he slowly sat down.
The next moment, he asked nonchalantly, "Did he come alone, or did he come through the front door and the back door with his entourage?"
"If you are single, you come to the front door to ask for permission."
If you are single, you naturally have to hide your whereabouts for fear of being discovered; but if you go to the front door of West Chang'an Street to ask for a meeting, you will easily be discovered. Therefore, Jiao Fang thought about it for a while, but she didn't know what kind of medicine Xu Xun was selling in the gourd.
, and finally said in a deep voice: "Forget it, invite him in. Set up Yun Fu, and be sure not to let him know about Xu Xun's arrival!"
Li An repeatedly agreed and stepped back. After making an appointment for a cup of tea, he led Xu Xun into the study. When he saw the two sides greeting each other, he tiptoed out of the door. However, he turned away the book boy and others and stood guard outside the door himself.
With.
"Prince Xu is a rare visitor. I heard that you have been training at the old school outside Andingmen for the past few days. I wonder why you visited my humble home today?"
"Of course I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything."
Xu Xun, who sat down generously on Jiao Fang's right hand, smiled slightly, and then asked with concern: "When my father and Xu Yi defended themselves together in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I was helped by Mr. Jiao.
I am deeply grateful. The letter you secretly sent me at that time was accidentally lost not long ago after I read it, so I happened to be free today, so I decided to
