The servants of the Mou Mansion brought tea, and Liu Chengfeng got straight to the point. He looked directly at Mou Bin and said: "My lord, this time there are vacancies in the command of all the pro-army troops. There will not be more than three people who are qualified to take this job. My lord,
There must be nothing wrong with your qualifications, but I wonder what the adults think?"
Mou Bin is a very cautious and restrained person, and it is precisely because of his temper that he has been able to secure the position of commander of the Jinyiwei. During the Hongzhi Dynasty, if the commander of the Jinyiwei had dared to be domineering, he would have been beaten to death more than eighteen times.
It can be said that every emperor has his own commander of the Royal Guards. If Mu Bin had been in the Chenghua Dynasty, he would have been beaten to death many times due to his temperament. (-<

This is actually a philosophy of being an official. There is an emperor and courtiers. Under any emperor, there will be ministers with different faces. Mou Bin’s cleverness lies in knowing how to protect himself, just like Hongzhi is now asking the court to do so.
Just like the ministers who were sent to the Taizu Dynasty, even if they dare to chirp every day now, when the Taizu Dynasty comes, everyone will be honest, because the dishonest ones have already wiped out his whole family.
Liu Chengfeng even thought darkly that if Mou Bin was placed in the Chenghua Dynasty, this guy's house would have been filled with pill jars, and he would practice aphrodisiacs with Taoist scriptures in his arms every day.
After waiting for a long time, Mou Bin still didn't say anything. He seemed to be thinking about whether he should tell the truth. In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore and had to say: "Things at the Qingjun Yamen are very leisurely. I don't know if they are better than this Jin Yiwei."
No matter how many times it is, there won’t be much intrigue, if
It is a good thing to have the opportunity to go there. As for Jin Yiwei, since you want to listen to what I think, I might as well tell the truth. Jin Yiwei does have a lot of power, but you yourself know it. The entire Jin Yiwei
, I may not be able to control you."
Liu Chengfeng nodded with deep understanding.
Mou Bin has been with Xi Ni for so many years. In fact, in order to protect himself, all forces have placed people in the Jin Yiwei. Almost the core figures in the Jin Yiwei have strong backings. Although Mou Bin is the commander of the Jin Yiwei, but there are many people involved in the Jin Yiwei.
But he was timid inside. The reason was very simple. He didn’t want to offend others, and his subordinates
He can be offended. Tongzhi and Qianshi can be offended, but the people behind Tongzhi and Qianshi may not be someone he can afford to offend. Therefore, Mou Bin, the commander, is really on pins and needles because he has great power. But he cannot
Dare to use it. There are many subordinates, but they may not all be willing to obey orders. It is much more comfortable for the pro-army yamen..<
Shuhai Pavilion>-/--The full text of the advertisement is not only of high rank and high salary, but also ordinary people dare not stare at it. After all, the pro-army is in charge of the garrison of the Forbidden City. Anyone who dares to go to the pro-jun yamen
Playing Jin Yiwei's tricks will kill people.
Mou Bin can feel at ease as the leader of his pro-army. At the same time, he is also in charge of twelve pro-army commanders, and can often go in and out of the palace. This kind of thing is best for Mou Bin.
Mou Bin then smiled bitterly again and continued: "But after thinking about it, you need to be lucky to go to the pro-jun Yamen. Even if the palace is willing to let me serve, there are so many people in the pro-jun who are unwilling, then there is no chance.
The solution. Liu Qianshi must have also seen it, I have so many people here and it is extremely desolate."
But Liu Chengfeng just smiled and said, "If you are willing, sir, I have an idea."
Hearing Liu Chengfeng say such words, Mou Bin's expression paused and he looked at Liu Chengfeng carefully. It stands to reason that if he were Liu Chengfeng, he might not want to go to the military Yamen by himself. After all, the choice of commander
Once changed, this person may not be as talkative as him, which is of no benefit to Liu Chengfeng. But now Liu Chengfeng comes to give him advice. Could it be that he also hopes that he will go to the pro-junyamen?
This was a big favor, and Mou Bin had to deal with it carefully. Of course he knew that since Liu Chengfeng had said it, there would definitely be a way. Regardless of whether this method was useful or not, he still owed this favor.
So Mou Bin had to think about it carefully.
Liu Chengfeng saw that Mou Bin was extremely cautious again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Commander, you don't need to be suspicious. I just think it would be more appropriate for you to be in the pro-junyamen. This place in Jinyiwei is a mess."
Yes, it makes people upset. If there is a slight disturbance, you may have to bear some responsibility. Normally, adults are very caring about me. If I don’t make some plans for you at this time, it would be too heartless."
After listening to Liu Chengfeng's words, Mou Bin breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he was afraid of Liu Chengfeng's intentions. In fact, his usual care for Liu Chengfeng was 70% due to ulterior motives and 30% due to his fondness for Liu Chengfeng. But now
Mou Bin felt a little shortchanged by the fact that people came to him in such a hurry to make plans for him.
But Mou Bin is by no means the kind of person who is dragging his feet. After thinking about it, he became more generous and said sternly: "If there is a chance, of course I will go. This pro-jun Yamen is not run by the Wu Quan family. If he can go, I will naturally go."
I can go, but I don’t know what can be done about Liu Qian?”
Liu Chengfeng said with a smile: "This matter, please come down and take care of it. We will hold a banquet at your residence tomorrow. We will invite everyone from the 12th Guards to others, and we will set up dozens or hundreds of tables."
I want to see who is more honorable among these pro-army soldiers."
Liu Chengfeng's method...
It's really a bit incredible.
Mou Bin's eyes were about to fall out. He had lived for half his life and he had never seen such nonsense. Is this official just treating guests to a drink? Whoever invites more people can do it?
But Mou Bin knew about Liu Chengfeng. He was a very resourceful person and would never come out to tell lies. But was Liu Chengfeng worth trusting?
Mou Bin was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you really sure about Liu Qian's affairs?"
Liu Chengfeng knew that what Mou Bin needed at this time was confidence, so he said confidently: "Don't worry, sir. Whoever I am making fun of is not allowed to make fun of you."
Mou Bin stood up and sighed: "I have lived for such a long time, but I still have to be favored by you. Alas... it is really embarrassing. Everything must be decided by Liu Qian."
Liu Chengfeng and Li Dongdong left Mou Bin's mansion together. Liu Chengfeng gave an order: "Find a way to take out a banknote of one hundred thousand taels from the Baihu Office in Yanhua Hutong.
Don't touch the ticket, I have saved a sum of money, please pay it from me."
The annual income of the hundreds of houses in Yanhua Hutong is as high as two million, which is all taken from the merchants in the area, especially brothels, casinos and other places. With the rise of Yingchunfang, there are so many such businesses at this time that it is enough.
There are more than two hundred of them. This kind of business is the most profitable. In addition, it is close to Jubao Building, so the business is extremely prosperous. And Baihu Law Firm starts from this every year.
Some merchants took the commission, and the money was divided into four parts. One part was sent to the palace, one part was at the Hundred Household Office, another part was sent to the Beizhen Prefecture, and the last part was drawn by Liu Chengfeng.
Although there was a commission, Liu Chengfeng never used it. It was still stored in Baihusuo in case of emergency needs, but now he is determined to take out the money.
He has a lot of business, whether it is Baihusuo, Jubao Building, Beauty Square or Jubao Trading Company, they can bring him tens of millions of taels of income every year. Money is rotten in his hands. At this time
It's time to spend.
Li Dongdong said in shock: "What are you going to do, sir?"
Liu Chengfeng smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just use this little money to pave the way for Lord Mou. One hundred thousand taels of silver is not much, but it is not too much, but Lord Mou takes good care of me.
The kindness should be repaid with a spring of water, now is the time to repay the debt, you should make preparations quickly, it will be useful tomorrow."
Li Dongdong didn't ask any more questions and said: "The student will go to the Hundred Household Office later, but you have to write a note, otherwise they may not be willing to let the student go and submit it."
Liu Chengfeng said: "Then follow me back home first."
The two of them hurriedly returned to the Hou Mansion with a team of guards. Someone happened to come out of the Hou Mansion, but they didn't know which of the Jinyi Guards came to pay New Year greetings. This man was wearing the color of Baihu. When he saw Liu Chengfeng, he quickly saluted.
, said: "I humble myself to wish you a happy new year. I thought you were not here, but I was a little disappointed just now. Who would have thought that I would see you right after I came out."
Liu Chengfeng felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't pronounce his name. He quickly put on a friendly look and said: "You are from Qianhu Office of Jubao Trading Co., Ltd.? It's rare that you have such a heart, so you don't have to be polite. In the Yamen, I am
Your superior, but outside, everyone is one of his own family."
The hundred households were flattered and said again and again: "Sir, you are so polite. How dare you climb high if you are humble?"
After sending away the hundred households, Liu Chengfeng went into the study and wrote a note, and said: "Also, prepare some famous assassins, and then spread the news, saying that Commander Ri Mou is hosting a banquet, and everyone will appreciate it."
Li Dongdong wrote down what Liu Chengfeng told him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's hard to believe that there are so many vulgar things here during the New Year. If I had known, I wouldn't have come here to pay my New Year greetings."
Liu Chengfeng knew he was joking, so he couldn't help but laugh: "It's hard for others to do things at this time. How can Mr. Li do it without doing it? Mr. Li, stop complaining and go quickly."
Li Dongdong could only shake his head, smile bitterly, smack his lips, and turn away.
Liu Chengfeng went to the main hall again, where Wen Chenxi and Zhu Yueluo were talking. When Liu Chengfeng came, Wen Chenxi stood up and said, "Husband, will you accompany me back to my parents' home tomorrow? Yue Luo also plans to go back with me.
Stay with the Wen family temporarily for one day and return the day after tomorrow."
There is indeed a custom at this time. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Chengfeng went back to his parents' home to celebrate the New Year. However, Liu Chengfeng pondered for a while: "Tomorrow, I have something to do tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time, but it doesn't matter, Mr. Taishan won't be able to do it tomorrow either."
You have to go do something with me, why don't you and Yue Luo go first, and then go back together after my father-in-law and I have finished our work."
