Xu Xun and Liu Hu were not busy returning to the capital, but suddenly changed their route to Nanchang Prefecture, which surprised the officials up and down the city of Nanjing. k First update However, the scandal about King Ning spread a lot, and even the officials and people of Nanjing were worried After discussing for a while, everyone was relieved. Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo, even told his brother-in-law Xu Ru in private that he was going to Nanchang Mansion to check the evidence, and maybe it was just like in Nanjing to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Xu Ru was just Laugh it off.
However, late at night before Xu Xun and others left, Xu Yan suddenly received a visit from Xu Xun at home. Faced with the sudden news that Xu Xun said that Ning Fan had an conspiracy, he was still a little unbelievable. However, , Chen Lu, who was traveling with Xu Xun, said so emphatically. In addition, after Xu Xun and Zhang Yong cleaned up the rebellion of Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu, Lord Xu was promoted to a higher level, and Zhang Yong was generously rewarded by his second brother Feng Bo. , he was convinced in just a moment.
You know, his youngest son Xu Tianci could not get a title. If he succeeds in one fell swoop, this eccentric youngest son will be born!
As for the others, Xu Xun did not go around again. When they set off from Nanjing the next day, he and Liu Jin were still the same guard of honor as before, but they were traveling by land. He suddenly suggested riding fast horses all the way. Okay, Liu Jin was caught off guard. So when they reached the halfway point, Liu Jin and Ma Yongcheng, not counting Gu Dayong who was so fat and difficult to ride, couldn't hold on anymore. Only Zhang Yong, who had fought many times in the past two years, seemed to be okay. , and Zhu Houzhao also had good muscles and bones from riding and shooting at the Xiyuan Martial Arts Arena every day, and he seemed to be more energetic. So, based on Xu Xun's suggestion, the group was divided into two groups.
Xu Xun and Zhang Yong took the unobtrusive Zhu Houzhao and more than two hundred soldiers and horses to Nanchang. The remaining people walked slowly. Xu Xun was fully confident that the three of Ma Yongcheng plus Gu Dayong would never miss Liu Jin. As for whether he would encounter gangsters on the way to Jiangxi, he was not worried at all.
It should be noted that these people who were separated were all from the 12th Regiment Battalion and the avant-garde of the government who had received special training in order to take the lead in suppressing the bandits. They all had considerable experience in mountain combat. More importantly, Chen Lu also used the same weapon as him. He used the privileges of Jinyiwei to directly break through a group of gangsters who were well-known in southern Jiangxi as an insider! Of course, he didn't know it at all, because someone suggested Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao's dragging technique, which entrusted Zhu Chen Hao didn't pay much attention to the urgent march of him and Zhang Yong, and actually allowed them to travel 200 miles smoothly. They arrived in Nanchang from Nanjing on the seventh day.
Liu Jin, who was left behind at such a fast speed, did not expect that the officials and people of Nanchang Mansion, including King Ning, were greatly surprised. Nanjing is the provincial seat of Jiangxi Chief Secretary, and the entire city has Jiangxi Chief Secretary and Jiangxi Dusi. , Nanchang Prefecture Government Office, Nanchang County Government Office, a total of four sets of teams, in addition to the Jiangxi governor, and the patrol censor, etc. Among them are Li Dongyang's disciples, Liu Jian's Xie Qian's disciples, Yang Yiqing's same year, and Yang Tinghe's fellow villagers. .The township party who had a close relationship with Lin Jun and so on were all complicated. Since only King Ning had known about Xu Xun's coming before, and the others had never reported it, and it was not known whether Xu Xun's trip was under orders or privately, when When such a group of people entered the city, the four teams plus the governor and other officials were in an uproar.
Because Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao was well-known outside the country, in addition to literati, there were also Li Shishi, the censor of the right capital, who was famous for his poetry and painting, and Wang Lun, the chief secretary of Jiangxi, who was the right counselor. Only two of them said to the outside world that they were
Wen Huiyou did not talk about political affairs. In fact, he often served as Zhu Chenhao's adviser. Xu Xun and his party entered the city, and they all quietly came to Ning Prince's Mansion. As soon as the former saw Zhu Chenhao, he said: "Your Highness, Pingbeihou
This trip is definitely not a sightseeing tour, it should be for His Highness, so please be careful!”….
Compared with Li Shishi's vagueness, Wang Lun's words were more direct: "He came too quickly, and he also brought Eunuch Zhang. It was the two of them who took down King Anhua before. In addition, there are many case files from the Chief Secretary.
There is no time to deal with it, and there are still some people in the Chief Secretary who are dissatisfied with His Highness..."
"No need to say it!" Zhu Chenhao waved his hand angrily, then looked at the two of them and said, "Thank you Duke Ruoxu and Wang Dashen for telling me specifically, but this vassal is not a person with little information. It's okay to tell the truth.
Let me tell you, in addition to him and Zhang Yong, there are also Eunuch Liu and others coming, but they should have a slow journey on the road, but they will arrive in Nanjing soon."
So, Ning Fan, a small one, actually became a competition between Liu Jin and Xu Xun, and he also had to bring along many other big rivals?
Li Shishi and Wang Lun looked at each other, feeling deeply worried at the same time. The clan members and even the local officials were helpless, but in the eyes of the real big shots in the capital, they were not sacrosanct, let alone Xu Xun.
No matter Liu Jin, he is the one who is truly close in the eyes of the current emperor! Here, Li Shishi couldn't help but lower his voice and said: "Your Highness, Pingbeihou has borrowed the mansion of Liu's family, a wealthy businessman in this city, to live here tonight. Although the Chief Secretary and Du Sifu Yamen
The county government has not made up its mind yet, but if you hold a banquet at the palace and invite Marquis Pingbei to come, you can more or less determine his attitude just by looking at people's reactions, and it will be easy to deal with it next time."
"That's right, Your Highness doesn't need to talk about political affairs, just invite more literary people to join us... By the way, I heard that Kang Hai, He Jingming and others were all walking around under the Pingbei Hou family. Didn't His Highness use some tricks just at the beginning of the year?
Li Mengyang was transferred to the Chief Secretary of Jiangxi Province, and now he often comes to the palace, why not invite him to accompany him! In addition to a few celebrities from Nanchang who often come and go, Mr. Li, I, and Mr. Liu will accompany me, and it’s almost the same
Already."
Being mentioned in this way, Zhu Chenhao suddenly remembered that he had indeed brought Li Mengyang over with Liu Jin at the beginning of the year based on Xu Bian's suggestion. Li Mengyang, who was unruly by nature, was transferred to Nanchang Prefecture Yamen in April.
After a brief discussion, the relationship between the superiors and the subordinates was not smooth. As soon as he extended an olive branch, he only said that he admired Kong Tong's talent, and then invited a few celebrities who were somewhat famous in the local area to support him.
, Li Mengyang naturally came very frequently, and after a few glasses of wine, he poured out countless poems. He even generously compiled and published a book for him, which captured people's hearts in a few moments.
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. I'll let Chang Shi deliver the post!"
Xu Xun doesn't like staying in inns. This was the habit of renting a house for a month when traveling in his previous life. But now in the big tomorrow, he has a high position and can give Lin Han Zhangfu Hua Lin Jun such a
As a romantic figure, he solves the difficult problem of living in the capital. When he travels on his own, he naturally "borrows" a house from the dignitaries, dignitaries, wealthy businessmen, and businessmen in the place for temporary accommodation. But when encountering real inconvenience, such as in Ningxia, he would rather
He lived in the Guandi Temple. Therefore, when Zhu Houzhao saw the wealthy businessman who respectfully offered his house with both hands, but still shed tears of gratitude, bowed his head and resigned, he cast a sidelong glance at Xu Xun after becoming suspicious.
"Cousin, are you really bold, using your power for personal gain in front of me?"
"This is not called using power for personal gain." Xu Xun smiled and patted Zhu Houzhao on the shoulder. He was used to patting Zhu Houzhao these days. "This is just one of the many conveniences of power. He will naturally spread it around saying that I lived in his house.
His supporter. If he is just pulling the tiger's skin and doing harmless things, of course I don't care. But if he does something harmful and harmful in the name of the name..."
Seeing that Xu Xun actually put his hand on his neck and made a sign of cutting his throat, Zhu Houzhao's eyes suddenly widened: "Can you still do this?"...
"Why not? Enjoy the convenience of others and give convenience to others, but if the payment and the gain are not equal, it is an unfair transaction, and naturally you have to pay other prices." At this point, Xu Xun stretched a lot, and then
Just now he yawned and said, "There's nothing much to say about such a trivial matter. Haven't you lived in a garden in Nanjing before? And what's the difference in living in this nouveau riche house... Oh, I probably won't have time to appreciate it tonight. It's about
We will have a banquet at the palace."
As soon as he heard that the prince was attending a banquet, Abao's voice came from outside: "Master, Prince Ning's palace chief Shi ordered someone to send a message saying that His Highness Prince Ning invited the young master and Eunuch Zhang to attend a banquet at the prince's residence tonight!"
"Look, I was right?" Xu Xun said with a smile, "If you want to go, you have to pretend to be presentable."
"You've almost even been a beggar, why are you afraid of pretending to be a country bumpkin who has never seen the world?" Zhu Houzhao muttered in a low voice, then puffed up his chest and snorted, and suddenly changed his name, "I want to meet this person."
First he was called the wise king, and then he was called worthless Prince Ning!"
At night, Nanchang Mansion, like other prefectures and counties, has entered the night ban period. However, no night watchman will come out to stop the carriages, horses and sedans heading to Prince Ning's Mansion. Compared with the banquet parties at Prince Ning's Mansion in the past,
This night was a little different. As the host, Prince Ning had not yet attended. While the palace officials were smiling and chatting with others, the guests present were talking about the legendary young Pingbei Hou. Most of them were abnormal.
Curious. So Li Mengyang, the only one among the people who had met Xu Xun, naturally had to deal with endless problems.
"Brother Kongtong, I heard that Pingbei Hou's family only has one wife and one daughter, and no other concubines?"
"Brother Li Xian, I heard that your old friend Kang Duishan is now a disciple of Pingbei Hou. He even co-wrote the Heshuo Elegy with his Qing guest Tang Bohu, and now he is also writing the Peony Pavilion? There is something in this drama.
Bad etiquette, my little girl is too busy thinking about food and drinks because the drama is not over yet..."
"Kong Tong, since your friends come in and out of the Xu family as if they were in their own backyard, it goes without saying that you will be promoted and your future will be limitless."
The more Li Mengyang listened, the more depressed he became. He unknowingly drank a lot of yellow soup. But when he heard the words Gaosheng and Future, he finally couldn't help but explode. He placed the wine cup heavily on the table with a bang.
When he saw everyone else looking at him, he was about to say a decisive word, when he suddenly heard an announcement from outside.
"The Marquis of Pingbei has arrived, and Eunuch Zhang has arrived...for activities. He may have to travel far away to live with his sister Yanjiu. I will be saving it in the near future, alas... (To be continued) rq
