Although the abandoned garden next to Tongjiaqiao has been temporarily transformed into an open garden. But Xu Xun knew very well what a miserable situation it would be for those parks in later generations to be opened for free, let alone the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, this place for lectures
There is no wall in the place, but he has enclosed all the surrounding land. Now he is leveling the land and preparing materials to start construction, planning to build a garden.
At this moment, in a temporarily repaired room, opposite him were sitting two of the most prominent figures in Jinyiwei and Xichang in the capital, and a map was spread out on the table.
"This is Shanguo Temple, this is Xixin Sinan Factory, this is Liulichang..." Xu Xun pointed at the map that had been marked with grids, and then looked at Ye Guang and Gu Dayong and said: "City
The place outside is no better than the inside of the city. There has never been a permanent yamen under its jurisdiction. Now, taking advantage of the emperor's decree, they have divided the areas under their respective jurisdictions. Each small banner brings ten people to be responsible for a place, and the details of all the residents are compiled.
, establish an archive so that they can react promptly if something happens in the future. And if it is found out later that the matter happened in the area under their jurisdiction, and they are asked about the crime, they have nothing to say. Now according to Zhengyangmenwai Street
For a limited time, the west side belongs to the Xichang and the east side belongs to the Jinyiwei. If there is insufficient manpower, the people from the advance guard of the government army can be transferred to maintain the use. If there is any clue that we need to send troops to eliminate it, I will come here.
After all, if I were to walk around the streets rashly, Mr. Liu of the Ministry of War would be the first one to jump up." Gu Dayong and Ye Guang stretched their heads to look at the map, and saw that there were numerous alleys and big shops, inns, Buddhist temples, and Taoist temples marked on it.
Clearly, I couldn't help but admire Xu Xun's meticulousness in being able to do this in a short period of time. Gu Dayong, who was worried at first that he could not handle the job well, even gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother Xu, I really want your help."
We've found the right person! Each person is responsible for a grid. If someone can't handle something well, I'll directly ask him about his fault. This is much easier than before.
"Yes..., Ye Guang even thought about the fact that each of the Jinyi Guards in the city was in charge of one or two streets by convention. However, because they often overlapped with the military personnel of the Wucheng Military and Horse Division and the Shuntian Government Office, there were not many conflicts throughout the year.
, actually planned to implement this in the city, but thinking that quarreling with other yamen would inevitably alarm the bosses, he had to give up the idea, but then he thought of one thing, "By the way, the capital was moved during the Yongle period.
After the capital, the Nancheng Military and Horse Division is said to be responsible for the south of the city. If we really talk about the outside of the city, it can be regarded as the jurisdiction of Nancheng. Although they are not high-ranking yamen, it is always not good to just leave them aside. "
"Nancheng Military and Horse Division? No matter what they are doing, do they dare to fight over such a big thing?" Gu Dayong knew that Ye Guang was referring to the future sphere of influence, so he scoffed, "Master Ye, don't worry about this matter.
There I am!"
Ye Guang just said it casually, not really intending to fight for any interests for the Nancheng Army and Horses Division. You Gu Dayong took the initiative to take over the matter, so he said no more. After the matter was assigned, he waited for a while and saw Gu Dayong.
Yong said goodbye before he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Last time I heard that Chief Wang from the Ministry of War was giving lectures here and made a lot of noise. I thought these scholars were enlightened, but who knew it was actually your son?
It's a big deal. Don't tell me that you just use this place to hold an office temporarily. You can't hide this from me." "Master Ye is joking, how dare I hide it from you, who has the sharpest eyes?" Xu Xun dragged Ye Guang into the water.
It was also because of the game of chess in the outer city that I briefly talked to people. Seeing that Ye Guang was also extremely interested, he said, "Most of the land on both sides of Zhengyangmen Street is in the hands of noble families. The rest
There is not much left, and it is not much cheaper than in the city, but the streets outside Chongwenmen and Xuanwumen are empty, so it would be a pity to waste it. Moreover, there is a curfew in the city, but there is no such rule outside the city, and this can be derived from this
Not a small market”
Ye Guang has been immersed in Jinyiwei all his life. Although he is proficient in all kinds of disciplines, he is also familiar with them. As soon as Xu Xun said it, he understood. He is the most protective person. Back then, Xu Xun was willing to accept him in the avant-garde of the government army.
He only remembered such a great favor to the children of his former colleagues and subordinates, let alone this one. If he did it well, everyone in Jinyiwei would benefit. All he had to do was to maintain it, and he didn’t have to.
How could he not be happy about committing a crime?
"No wonder you are willing to take the initiative to help Eunuch Gu take on such a thankless task as tracking down spies outside the city...Okay, I'll take part in this matter. Just ask for whatever you want!" It's time to make plans with Ye Guang.
After the people were sent away, Xu Xun was thinking about whether he should use some method to force out the so-called spies, or whether he should check each shop to see if anyone was doing business with the northern Meng people. As a result, the information was leaked, and the outside world
Someone reported that Ma Qiao of Zuo Qianhu was back, saying that he had something important to report and that he had brought someone back with him. Xu Xun always admired Ma Qiao, who was practical and careful, so he immediately sent a message to him to come in without hesitation.
After a while, Ma Qiao entered the room, and without a trace of military salute, he told the details of today's visit to Yongfu Temple for interrogation. At the end, he said: "I started to do the interrogation because I heard that the scholar was arrested at night."
I was so frightened that I didn't expect him to take the initiative to report the inside story, so he took the person back without permission." "This is a matter within your authority, so what are you doing without permission? If everyone works as hard as you do,
Then I will be much more relaxed." Xu Xun praised Ma Qiao with a smile, and immediately ordered him to bring the person. But as soon as he sat down and muttered the two words "Xu Jing", he seemed to vaguely remember where he had heard it.
, but when I thought about it carefully, I couldn't remember it, and I suddenly felt a little suspicious. When Ma Qiao came in with a young man in his thirties with little blood on his face, he stared at the other person's blue silk dress that looked extremely wide.
After looking at it for a while, Ma Qiao nodded slightly. The next moment, Ma Qiaoli tiptoed out of the door.
"Caomin Jiang Yin Xu Jing, pays homage to Mr. Xu!"
When Xu Xun saw someone kneeling down and kowtowing respectfully, Xu Xun still didn't understand that the other person had no merit.
But remembering what Ma Qiao had mentioned in his ears about the Wuchuan Tower of the Xu family in Wucheng, he couldn't help but wonder. In today's world, if a family has a collection of thousands of books, it must be a wealthy gentry. There is little talk in the family.
There are also one or two Jinshi, three or four Jinshi, and seven or eight scholars.
The young man in front of me also looked bookish. How could he not even have any fame?
"Get up." Seeing him stand up with his hands down, Xu Xun asked, "Just now, Ma Qiao said that you saw a Lou Xing person coming and going in Yongfu Temple, and you were frightened. Since you are determined to see me, do you know the name of that person?"
?”
"Reporting to Mr. Xu, it was dark night at that time, and dark clouds covered the moon again. The common people were frightened for a while, and could not see clearly the head and face of the night traveler." Xu Jing paused for a moment when he said this, and saw Xu Xun frowned as if he was a little bit.
Disappointed, he took a deep breath and continued, "It's just that the night traveler deliberately provoked and told the common people that if you don't go back, be careful not only will your career and reputation be lost, but your life will also be lost!"
Hearing this, Xu Xun's eyes narrowed and he stood up. He stared at Xu Jing for a long time. He finally sat down and said with a half-smile: "I just...
I just thought, I seem to have heard your name somewhere. It turns out to be Jiang Yin and Xu Jing, who were expelled from the imperial court together with Tang Yin and Tang Bohu six years ago. I guess you came to the capital this time to see if there would be an amnesty after the death of the late emperor.
Is it possible that the case from back then could be vindicated and your reputation returned?"
Unexpectedly, Xu Jing unexpectedly understood Xu Xun's identity at such a young age, and even guessed his purpose of coming to Beijing this time. After a moment of embarrassment, he bowed and said: "Master Xu, the common people didn't know that before they came to Beijing.
The emperor passed away, and they only learned about it when the ship arrived in Tianjin. The only reason for the common people to come to the capital was to see if what had happened back then could still be managed. Since the late emperor passed away, the common people stayed and visited several houses that they had visited before.
Many people want to see me, but I don’t want everyone to shut out the common people, let alone a few night walkers who came to warn me a few nights ago!" At this point, he suddenly knelt down again and said with a pale face.
"I know I shouldn't bring this matter to Mr. Xu, but I really have no other choice and I'm not willing to just go back to my hometown.
My late father passed the provincial examination and passed the third place. He didn't want to fail in the examination, so he returned to his hometown and studied hard, but ended up dying young. Therefore, my mother had taught me strictly since I was a child, and my wife had been taking on all the household chores.
I can be named on the gold medal. I know that it was too ostentatious when I went to Beijing. I only wanted to make a name for myself, which offended many scholars and made others jealous. But if I am really not talented enough and unlucky, that's it.
But I really can’t bear the reputation of cheating! Today, Ma Qianhu mentioned that your Excellency once helped Xu Changgu, so I came to see you with a trace of luck. I don’t ask for justice from you, but only for you.
You can protect me a little, so that I can stay in the capital safely." If this person came over because he could speak well in front of the emperor, Xu Xun might have taken advantage of him.
Received it, but the impression had to be discounted: But now Xu Jing frankly said that he was not willing to carry such an unfounded reputation for cheating, and even mentioned that he was a good wife and loving mother at home, and it was because he came to Xu Zhenqing as a "righteous aid" in the first place.
He couldn't help but feel compassion. After thinking for a moment, he said: "The man has gold under his knees. Get up and speak." He had said everything he needed to say. Xu Jing didn't want to continue to beg for mercy and shamelessly.
That face, he hesitated for a moment and then stood up, unknowingly clenching his fists. Just when he was waiting for no more reply and his heart gradually sank to the bottom, he suddenly heard something coming from above.
a voice.
"Forget it, it's not difficult for you to stay in the capital safely. Everyone knows that my father and son don't study much, and I happen to be short of a teacher in the family, so you can stay for now."
Xu Jing was just able to get shelter. When he heard that Xu Xun was willing to keep him at home, he was stunned for a moment. After a long time, he bowed deeply to the ground and bowed: "Your Excellency, Xu Jingruo is so kind and virtuous in this life."
I will try my best to repay you when I have a chance to succeed!"
?: I took a look early in the morning and found that there were still ten votes to reach six hundred. During the double period, it would be five votes, so I asked for five monthly votes to help make it perfect!!
