Although he did not take the imperial examination and did not like art, Xu Xun's study has many rare books, most of which were given by Zhang Mao back then. After his success, Zhu Houzhao often gave some new imperial books or
The inner warehouse has come down, so his study is filled with all kinds of books. The fragrance of Wenhan is the most familiar to Cao Qian, a serious scholar. When he entered the house, he couldn't help but glance around.
.After he was introduced by his younger brother Cao Mi, he knelt down and kowtow according to his etiquette.
"This is not in the court, Cao Mi, help your brother up."
Xu Xun in the main seat smiled and raised his hand. When Cao Qian stood up and stood with his hands down, he had to look at the young man carefully. Unlike Cao Mi, who had a great chance at getting out of the cottage, Cao Qian was about twenty-five years old.
6. Cao Mi, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall figure, and red lips, white teeth, thin skin and tender flesh, he looked more like a soldier in the army. He could not tell that he had passed the scholar early, and he was even a student of Yang Yiqing.
After looking at it for a while, he smiled and ordered, "Sit."
Cao Qian sat down as he spoke, but he looked like he was in his father's military tent. He had only a little bit of a chair under his body, his back was straight, and his hands were naturally placed on his knees. Seeing him like this, Jun
Shen Ying, who was born in the army, was very satisfied and couldn't help but nod and praised: "I have heard that Cao Xiong was strict in his military administration and rewarded and punished appropriately. Although he had never seen him personally, he only looked at his two sons, which was much better than me!
Although the bastard in my family has already been a commander, he has not much ability to do. If he can be one-tenth of the two brothers, I don’t have to worry so much!”
"Jingyang Bo was awarded more. Bei Zhi was just doing some documents under his father's account, or was his second brother listening to the training day and night under Pingbei Bo's command. It was much better than Bei Zhi, a brother."
"There is no such thing as listening to the training day and night? Your brother is serious and careful in doing things, which shows the tutoring." Xu Xun smiled slightly, then put away his smile and asked, "You said you are in charge of the documents under your father's account? Since that's the case, you should be with the side.
The military strategy is quite familiar. Now, the situation in the three towns in Shaanxi is in the military, let’s talk about it first.”
"Yes." Cao Qian immediately raised his head and said with a solemn look, "Since Governor Yang supervised the Ma Zheng in Shaanxi a few years ago, he has cleaned up more than 66,000 hectares of pastures one by one. Now there are already grasslands in Shaanxi.
More than 90,000 hectares of tea were accumulated for 400,000 kilograms. After that, thousands of horses could be obtained from the tea and horse market every year. The use of horses from each army is now guaranteed to be safe. In addition, all tea transport recruits merchants without any need to recruit other people. In addition, Yansui
Between Hengzhou, my father followed the constitutional order of Governor Yang, and had built nine hundred piers and nine hundred warm Qiao, and the number of garrisons increased to 4,500. Huamachi established a new garrison, and had recruited 1,000 soldiers.
More than 200 people…”
Xu Xun nodded while listening, and he was convinced that Cao Qian had managed documents from his father. Even if he had prepared in advance, these things could be easily talked about, which was not easy for young people of this age.
.Cao Qian explained the situation of the three towns, especially Yan Suizai carefully, and he bowed and said, "Before his humble duty, I went to see Governor Yang. Governor Yang mentioned that the little prince's troops attacked Yan.
Although things failed, Ningxia was full of troubles, and Ningxia had many areas that needed to be rectified, so I wanted to ask the court to exempt Ningxia from half of the taxes, and also asked Lianghuai salt to attract 340,000 yuan.
To enrich the border reserves in Guyuan and other places. Over the years, there have been many refugees in Shaanxi, and they plan to recruit refugees to farm and prepare for borders."
Cao Qian has a good memory and recounted the few things that Yang Yiqing said casually before in front of Xu Xun. Seeing Xu Xun thinking, he paused for the time being. But at this time, Shen Ying smiled and said, "Governor Yang is not you."
What a teacher? Why don’t you call me a teacher, but Governor Yang’s words?”…
"Reporting to Jingyang Bo, I am now reporting to the border affairs to the adults, and I dare not abolish the public for personal gain."
Seeing Cao Qian's answer seriously, Shen Ying couldn't help laughing: "Good boy, what a man who dares not depose his official position for personal gain! Governor Yang is a rare civil servant who can draw bows to defeat the enemy while dismounting to control the people! He
It is really rare to be able to see you as a child from a military family. However, if you go to the imperial examination, you will be a fool who will be a saint in more than ten years. It is better to be like this now. Pingbei Bo, you are really
What a blessing, you can come whatever you think!"
Xu Xun came back to his senses and knew that Shen Ying was talking about the joke just now. He remembered that he had complained to Shen Ying half-truely about the pile of letters and posts at home, and he actually wanted to work Zhang Cai and Tang Yin to help him.
He couldn't help but stare at Cao Qian again, and suddenly said, "I know all the things you reported to Governor Yang, and I will try to turn around. But you, your father sent you to Beijing.
, but what else do you have to give?"
After the news of the great changes in the capital came out, Cao Xiong was already preparing to send gifts to the capital. However, at first it was not just for Xu Xun, but Cao Xiong took the leads one by one with Liu Jin. After all, Liu Jin was from Shaanxi, and
Cao Xiong was considered a fellow villager. However, Cao Qian tried his best to dissuade his father.
"My second brother is under the command of Pingbei Bo, and he has been given a gift from thousands of households. At his age, it is an exception. Although my father is in the same hometown as Eunuch Liu, he has never had any relationships. Now even if he tries his best to work, he can
Because the relationship between the second brother may not be unquestionable. Since this is the case, it is better to devote yourself to Pingbei Bo. Bo is young and ambitious, and he also has a title of Bo for his military merits. He is born close to people in the military, so why bother to seek far and far?
Easy to get difficult?”
At that time, Xu Xun asked such words, and Cao Qian immediately stood up and knelt down on one knee: "Report to Mr. Bo, my father had instructed me before he passed away.
, Beizhi had fought several wars in front of the Yansui Army, and had also experienced documents and documents. If you have the opportunity, I hope to find a place in the capital to hone it. The Cao family started from the army, can the family reputation continue?
Failure depends on real skills!”
Shen Ying listened to this, looked at Cao Qian, and looked at Cao Mi again. He remembered that his family had obtained a son of the commander by taking thousands of stones of food in front of the army. He felt even more uncomfortable. He had no children and grandchildren.
Xu Xun naturally couldn't understand Shen Ying's little thoughts. He laughed twice, then stood up and helped Cao Qian up in person.
"Since your father said that, I just lacked someone here, so I will transfer you to my Left Official Hall. If you don't say anything else, you need someone to give it to me. You can bring me some people who are in charge of the documents first.
.In addition, I am not afraid of people saying that I will squeeze you at such a young age. My family has already made it impossible for them to wait. You spend a little time every day to take care of this.
The truth is, don’t just be busy with yourself, bring me a few people out!"
Cao Qian was surprised and happy to see that Xu Xun made such a promise in one word. However, what surprised him even more was that after he thanked him for his gratitude, Xu Xun, who had sat back, actually smiled and said:
"Your father was promoted to the position of deputy governor and transferred to the commander-in-chief of Guyuan. It is probably the case in the past few days. Your brother has traveled to so many places this time, and he has made great contributions. I still plan to
Move him up. You brother, don't lose to your brother."
"Sir, humble job..."
Seeing Cao Mi wanting to speak, Xu Xun raised his hand to stop him, and then he smiled meaningfully at the others, "Zhang Xilu's order to be promoted to the right censor is also fast, Bo Hu is not willing to enter the official position, otherwise he
It is both a test to solve the essence and a future is also very easy.”…
Speaking of this, Xu Xun looked at Shenying with a smile and said, "As for Jingyang Bo, you have all the titles and official positions now, and I think the one who is worried about should be the son. It's not that I'm not saying bad things, it's better to force him to put him on the wall."
Looking for a safe job, don't force yourself to go to the nine sides. After all, if you win, you will be rewarded with merits, and if you lose, you will have nothing. I can still make the decision on the transfer of a commander of the vanguard of the government army.
”
Shenying thought about how many times his son Shen Zhou had been grinding himself, wanting to be a general in order to help the father and son general shine their lintels in the future. Thinking about his three-legged cat kung fu, he could not get the top military strategy, he bit him for a moment
After gritting his teeth, he nodded for a while and said, "Well, as Ping Beibo said, I can't control this kid anymore. Maybe it's better to be here with you!"
Hearing this, Zhang Cai and Tang Yin looked at each other and understood the purpose of accompanying the guest this time.
When Xu Xun was celebrating that he had a young hero, Liu Jin also returned to his private residence outside the palace this day. Although the affairs of the Minister of War were not very accurate, he was always tempted by Zhu Houzhao's temper.
Knowing that his plan was very successful, he simply invited Jiao Fang and called Liu Cai, the nephew who was sent by Liu Yu, the governor of Shanxi of Datong, to the capital to give gifts, in front of the two of them.
He spoke proudly about today's achievements.
Hearing that the emperor agreed to consider, Jiao Fang was overjoyed and happier than Liu Cai. He quickly poured a cup and sent it to Liu Jin: "My father-in-law is really good! If this move is successful, he will definitely be able to make people.
I can’t say the pain!”
"That's right, how could it be impossible for our family to do what we promised?"
Since he was promoted to the eunuch of the Silijian, Liu Jin has been paying attention to his words. The name I have been kept in high positions for a long time. Seeing that he was proud, Liu Cai once again praised him and said humbly that if his uncle could be transferred back to the capital, he would definitely be
He came to the door to thank Yunyun. When he said thank you, Jiao Fang remembered that he had heard that Liu Yu had given him ten thousand taels of silver for this, and couldn't help but curl his lips contemptuously, naturally cautiously not letting this expression fall into Liu Jin's eyes.
While drinking, Liu Jin's face was slightly drunk and he brought it out without realizing it: "When Xu Xun first entered Beijing, he was just such an inconspicuous ordinary boy. If our family hadn't had a good relationship with him, how could he be
Today... I have just settled down and started to compete for the position with our family. Alas, the young man is prone to ungrateful..."
Although he has been in Liu Jin's sect for a long time, Jiao Fang and Liu Jin usually have never heard Liu Jin say bad things about Xu Xun when they talk. At this time, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. They knew that Liu Jin gradually felt Xu Xun's threat these days.
Then, the wind could not be avoided in front of outsiders. Therefore, he immediately gave Liu Cai a wink, and then agreed with a smile on his face. Just when he was about to provoke further, a sudden sound came from the outside.
sound.
"Eunuch Liu, Eunuch Gu is here!"
When Liu Jin heard this, half-true and half-fake drunkenness suddenly woke up and hurriedly shouted: "Please come in!"
Seeing this, Liu Cai hurriedly left and resigned. When Jiao Fang saw that Liu Jin had no intention of retreating, he sat down at the same place with peace of mind. Soon, a bald, short and fat man brought Gu Dayong in. Gu Dayong was
People who often come and go to see the leftovers on the table, he didn't care. He smiled and asked someone to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks. Then he took up the roast chicken in the middle as if no one was around, tear off a pair of chicken wings, and ate it immediately.
He started chewing heavily. The wind blew the sacred clouds and half of the chicken was drunk. Then he took the hot towel and wiped his mouth and hands, letting a long sigh.
"I was so late to inform me. Lao Liu, you must be unauthentic!"
"Look at what you said, who will go with us! I haven't cared about you yet, but you actually care about me asking you to invite you later." Liu Jin and Gu Dayong were so good at wearing a pair of pants at the time, even now it's
I complained, but I still smiled, "Besides, it's just home-cooked side dishes, what can I say to treat you to dinner... By the way, I heard that your West Factory is expanding its manpower, and Lao Qiu has come to me to complain several times.
Say you were robbing the business!"….
"Why, I can't move with him because of his recruitment from Dongchang?" Gu Dayong smiled and said disdainfully, "He was lucky to take on the best position. Dongchang wants money and people.
Some people are not like my broken yamen, I have to do everything myself... If he dares to complain again next time, you call me and I will argue with him again!"
"My brother, I'm just saying a few words, why are you doing so seriously?" Liu Jin persuaded him half-truely, and then he kept silent about his serious matters, and only diligently persuaded Gu Dayong to drink. He poured him seven or eight cups in a row.
Seeing that Gu Dayong's face was already showing an unconcealable drunkenness, he spoke and tentatively, "I said Lao Gu, on the night that the most deadly, the emperor quietly left the palace without even revealing a word to us.
What method did that little guy Ruisheng fool Li Rong and the others?"
This was the first time Jiao Fang knew that it was the night when he decided the outcome, Zhu Houzhao was not in the palace. Seeing that Liu Jin was also blushing, he knew that if Liu Jin was not happy tonight and was a little drunk, he would have been fooled.
In the drum, he thought for a moment and then fell on the table and fell drunk. Sure enough, he squinted his eyes and saw that Liu Jin didn't notice him at all, and his eyes were only on Gu Dayong.
"What method? Hehe... do you really want to know?"
"Nonsense, Lao Gu, don't keep me indifferent!"
"Tsk tsk... Then I'll tell you!" Gu Dayong smiled and poured a cup for himself. It was not until Liu Jin took off his cup that he picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth.
Chewing slowly, then slowly said, "What else can I do? Of course there is only one bluff... When the three old guys came in and knelt, he didn't say anything. I naturally had a terrible face to let the three of them have
Speaking quickly, Wang Yue couldn't help it, and immediately said passionately that the emperor wanted to kill us these disasters. What happened... A cup was smashed on the bed in a moment, followed by a jade pillow.
How long did the few people run away in fear? It’s so relieved to see!”
Liu Jin could think of this method. When Gu Dayong said this, he felt relieved and couldn't help but hum, "That kid is lucky. If our family takes advantage of the old love, it will be a sudden change. He had to go up and open the tent and take a look, but he was so easy to fool him."
"Otherwise, why would the emperor like him so much? Now the emperor cannot live in the Ganqing Palace, but the superiors and subordinates are still set according to the level of the Ganqing Palace. He originally just agreed, and the emperor seemed to be planning to give him a stewardship sign. If this is true, Then our Ming Dynasty had the youngest stewardship brand since the intern official…”
Although his eyes were already a little turbid because of the alcohol, Liu Jin's expression changed when he heard this. Seeing that Gu Dayong had fallen asleep with the wine glass, he couldn't help but mutter angrily: "The emperor is this temper, It is faster to be promoted than anything else... The little guy who is less than twenty years old is going to be promoted to the managerial rank. I was over forty years old, so the East Palace agreed..."
"Brother-in-law, Eunuch Liu..."
Hearing the screams from outside, Liu Jin rubbed his eyes and stood up shakingly. Jiao Fang quietly opened his eyes wide, and saw the bald short and fat man who brought Gu Dayong in at the door first said a few words. , then went out, and he couldn't help but guess in his heart who could let Liu Jin go to see in person so late. However, he glanced at Gu Dayong who was sleeping soundly on the table, and he thought about it. I stopped and found out what I planned.
"Sun Cong, you did a good job. If there are people like this in the future, let alone our family is drunk, you have to come in and report even if you fall asleep."
After drinking a sobering soup, Liu Jin had no intention of drinking. He put the goblet next to him and gave an order to the bald and short man. He saw that he lowered his hands and replied, "It's not like someone else's already beat him." He stacked a bunch of flattery and flattering people, and he couldn't help but be very satisfied with this sister-in-law who he specially got from Shaanxi. This account-keeping manager is good at making good sense, taciturn, and has no lack of cleverness. In addition, he is a relative, so this kind of No matter how reliable a person is, he will be gone...
"You do your best, sooner or later, our family will take you into a job in the six ministries."
"Thank you, my father-in-law!"
After nodding, Liu Jin changed into a dress under the personal service of someone else, and then he accompanied him to the study. As soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw a young man with his butt next to the chair jumping up suddenly, and he smiled and pointed. Nodded: "Qian Ning, you are not a little arrogant. Our family has sent someone to invite you three or five times, but you have only come here yet."
"My father-in-law forgives his crimes, he really can't get any time to do his job."
Although he is not unfamiliar with Liu Jin, he has never said much on weekdays. Therefore, when Qian Ning first invited Liu Jin, he tried every means to shirk it. However, Liu Jin sent someone to invite him again and again, and his words were quite heavy. , Dao looked down on him, and in all his helplessness, he thought that Liu Jin would sooner or later take over the Sili Supervisor, and was also a little scared, so he could only come over secretly tonight.
"Can't get out of time? I'm afraid it may not be?" Liu Jin looked at Qian Ning with a smile. Seeing that he had avoided his gaze unnaturally, he did not continue to force him, but said slowly, "We My family and Brother Xu have a close relationship. I came to you today, not for anything else, but for him to reveal a message to you. The commander of the Jinyiwei commander Ye Guang was so ill that he died. It is said that at most he could survive until next year. It’s not certain if you are not lucky enough to go within this year. You are Brother Xu’s confidant and have enough credit for your grade. If you work hard in that position, you may be hopeful.”
"ah?"
Qian Ning suddenly widened his eyes and his face was full of incredible. Although he was a warrior, his mind was very active. Nowadays, the old ministers in the court who relied on their seniority were all rolled up and left. After the lords rose, they would definitely be able to
He wanted to promote a group of confidants to take those seats. At this moment, he was very itchy when Liu Jin said, but he still said in fear and fear: "Eunuch Liu is kidding, what is the virtue of being a humble position? How dare you think of the commander of the Jinyiwei
seat……"
"As long as you have the courage and means, what's there to think?" Liu Jin smiled, then stood up and yawned, "I'm asking you to come here for this. If you don't dare to recommend yourself to your adult, let's go back and look back
My family says something for you. It’s unreasonable that there are good things but it’s not the turn of your family? You can have talents like you, which is a great blessing!”
Liu Jin stopped until he didn't keep Qian Ning saying anything, and let the person go in a moment. When the room became empty, he stretched and couldn't help but think about what he should do next.
A thought suddenly appeared.
After robbing the seat, he was robbing the seat, but now although Liu Jian and Xie Qian have driven them away, Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia have also left the bed and left the house, but his foundation in the court is not very stable. At this time, he wants to do it
The matter is very simple, that is... to establish authority! Moreover, he has to pull Xu Xun together, so that he can't let that kid behave like a cheap man. If he gets along with Qing Liu, it will be a huge trouble!
Thinking of this, Liu Jin smiled suddenly and had a safe idea in his heart. At this moment, a soft knock on the door suddenly came from outside, followed by another tentative call from father-in-law. It was obvious that it was
In Sun Cong's voice, he immediately shouted and came in. Soon, Sun Cong took a post and entered the door.
Seeing this, Liu Jin raised his eyelids: "Who is so sneaky and came to give gifts in the middle of the night?"
"Father-in-law, I only wrote a hundred bows on the post." Sun Cong handed the post with his hands in confusion. Seeing Liu Jin looking around, he put it aside without interest. He took a deep breath and whispered in a low voice.
He said, "But I have reported to my father-in-law that this person gave me a heavy gift, a full ten thousand taels of silver."...
"ah!"
Liu Jin jumped up all of a sudden. It is important to know that Liu Yu's nephew gave gifts at both ends, but in the end he chose him and gave him a heavy 10,000 taels of silver. So he promised the Minister of War without thinking. Now someone has given him another
Such a heavy gift shows that the high position, power and money are truly true. He endured the excitement on his face, leaned forward and asked, "Where is that person?"
"That man has gone back." Seeing Liu Jin stunned for a moment, Sun Cong himself felt that this was too incredible, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva before saying, "That man said that the mere meeting gift would not be respectful. If the father-in-law was willing to see him, he would
We will respect and show sincerity. If our father-in-law does not want to see him, these greetings will be regarded as filial piety to our father-in-law.”
A big deal is something that is unheard of!
Even though Liu Jin thought he was used to the world, he had just arrived at the eunuch of Silijian. In addition, the oil and water he had heard of before was never so big, so he couldn't help but stand up with the handrail.
It is easy to curb the excitement in his heart, so he laughed and said, "See, why don't you see me? When he comes back, you must report that if you are using this method in front of our family, how can we not take a good look at the sacred place?"
ps: I can hardly believe my eyes when I wake up early in the morning. I have more than 100 monthly tickets in one night, but I can actually reach the seventh category. Excluding the new book list, it is fifth! Thank you so much, I will do my best.
Update, quality and quantity! No matter what, this is a book I like, a book I have attentively! In a word, I will never write a book I don’t love...
