Chapter 432 The interests of the government are above all

After lunch, Song Nan woke up from a nap and was sitting in the backyard chatting with his wives and concubines. The front yard came to report that the young master Zhang Lun visited. Song Nan got up to welcome him and said to himself: The person who should come is here. The person I looked forward to most in the morning is the little father-in-law.

The little father-in-law stepped into the Songfu Flower Hall in a uniform. When he saw Song Nan, he arched his hand and smiled and said, "Congratulations, brother-in-law. With the momentum of thunder, the emperor personally went to Beijing to welcome the triumph. This time, the credit is not small."

Song Nan hurriedly ordered to go to the tea and watch the seat and said with a smile, "Does the young master also come to joke? Such thieves often do injustice and lose the hearts of the people. Such as homeless dogs, it is not difficult to eliminate them. If the young father-in-law comes forward, it will be achieved overnight, even faster than my hands and feet.

Zhang Lun was happy and smiled, "My brother-in-law is becoming more and more talkable. The family is not interested in flattering. If I lead a group to suppress thieves, I will naturally not be as humiliated as Xu Yande, but it will not be as easy as you said. Where's my sister? Why don't you come to see me?"

Song Nan said, "She will come in a minute. Your sister is skillful and sews a windshield cloak for you and will bring it to you later."

Zhang Lun's forehead was stunned and said, "Soong Nan, I'm convinced of you."

Song Nan said, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Lun shook his head and said, "My sister has been in the Guogong Mansion for more than ten years. As a brother, I haven't seen her touch a needle and thread of female red. After marrying you, I actually became a female red. No wonder this year's snow is particularly heavy. Is this God moved?"

Song Nan laughed, and Zhang Lun also laughed.

The two uncles made a gag and drank a few mouthfuls of hot tea. Zhang Lun smiled and said, "Your house must be very popular today."

Song Nan smiled and said, "Well, more than a dozen people came in the morning. I thought the young master would come in the morning, but who knew that he came late and asked me to wait."

Zhang Lun squined and said, "I won't join in the fun with those guys. I knew that the threshold of your Song Mansion would be broken in the morning. What are you waiting for me to do? How do you know I will come today?

Song Nan said, "Are you my brother-in-law? I came back triumphantly, and the face of the Duke's mansion is also shining. Wouldn't you come to thank me?"

Zhang Lun poofed and said, "You are so shameless. I would like to thank you. It's time for you to go to the government to see the old man. The old man guessed that it was really accurate. He said that you would not visit anyone. Sure enough, you would shrink in the house."

Song Nan smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't do it for the time being."

Zhang Lun said, "What's the solution?"

Song Nan said, "This time, there are more or less credit. The emperor will definitely let you discuss how to make me an official and knight. At this time, I have to keep a low profile and run around outside, which will be said to be a fake drill camp, but it will ruin the image."

Zhang Lun was stunned and said, "You are too careful."

Song Nan said, "Be careful has always been one of my strengths. Don't forget it. This is my motto."

Zhang Lun slamed his lips and said, "No wonder the old man said that I'm not as good as you. Now it seems that I'm really not as good as you. Your mind is too deep to teach people to understand."

Song Nan said, "My father-in-law is hurting me. My father-in-law is straightforward and open and aboveboard. That's because my father-in-law has a strong family background. Like me from a poor background, everything depends on personal struggle. Naturally, he is more careful."

Zhang Lun nodded and said, "What you said is also reasonable. You are indeed right. The matter of how to reward your official position in the early morning is indeed very disturbing, and there are different opinions between the internal and external courts."

Song Nan smiled and said, "These are all predictable. I, Song Nan, have been rewarded for my meritorious service, and the internal court will never be too happy. There is a saying in this world that can describe people's hearts, that is: I am happy when I see you are unhappy, and the thoughts of the internal and external courts can be roughly summed up by these words."

Zhang Lun sneered and nodded Song Nan and said, "You are really lame. This sentence is really vivid; but this time, the opinions of the internal and external court are not the main ones, and this time the most important ones are the Xunqi uncles."

Song Nan was stunned and said, "You mean the old man and Duke Ding?"

Zhang Lun said, "It's not only them, but also the twelve marquis of the regiment camp, and the Counts of Qi in the Beijing camp all have the right to speak."

Song Nan frowned and said, "Don't tell me what's going on."

Zhang Lun smiled and said, "About your title award, this time you are at least a second-class marquis. This is a certainty. You were originally waiting three times. Even if you are only promoted to the first level, you are still a second-class marquis. Congratulations first, Marquis Song!"

Song Nan rolled his eyes and said, "This thing is useless. Except for what you valued, you insisted on letting the princess marry me. In my opinion, it doesn't do much except for the salary and hundreds of mu more land."

Zhang Lun spat and said, "You know nothing! Do you know who are the admirals of the twelve regiments of the four martial camps of Fen, Yao, Practice and Xian, Dare, Guo, Xiao and Drum, and the four battalions of Li, Extend, Yang and Zhen? They are all first-class marquises, do you understand what they mean?

Song Nan frowned and said, "The little prince means that if you want to command a battalion, you must at least be a marquis, right?"

Zhang Lun looked at Song Nan contemptuously and said, "You are not stupid. You can naturally enter if you are lower, but you are only a deputy admiral, thousands of households and so on. You are in command. If you join the regiment camp but can't lead the battalion alone, will you be willing?"

Song Nan smiled and said, "How did the little father-in-law know that I would definitely want to enter the regiment camp?"

Zhang Lun waved his hand and said, "Don't pretend to be garlic with me. The position commanded by Jinyiwei is already the highest peak of your official position in the imperial court. You are not a civilian, let alone an eunuch. You are not qualified for a higher position; the only thing you can go further is to go to the Beijing camp to hold military power. Moreover, this time you have led troops to fight well. You have also been awarded the title of third-class marquis before the expedition. You are qualified to admiral the Beijing camp. If the emperor does not reward one of your admiral regiment camps, it is not a reward. Will you be happy?

Song Nan smiled and said, "I don't seem to worry about this matter. Isn't the old man the governor of the regiment camp? The little father-in-law is also the deputy governor of the regiment camp. Will the old man stop him in this matter?

Zhang Lun pecked and said, "Look at your smart tightness. Why are you sometimes as ignorant as an elm? You might as well tell you that it is because of this that things are difficult to do. Think about it, except for my admiral's fighting camp, what will the other 11th battalions think? What will they do if you go to Beijing? Will they take the initiative to make room for you? Did the old man and I take the official position of one person for no reason and let you replace him? In fact, the Duke of Dingguo has already taken action. Before you returned to Beijing, Xu Guangzuo invited the Marquises and Counts of the Beijing camp at Liangyuan, saying that they gathered together to drink and listen to the play. In fact, it was inciting them * you to enter the regiment camp. The old man has been in a bad mood these two days. Because of your affairs, many generals who followed the old man turned to Xu Guangzuo's arms, but good things have become bad things.

Song Nan's eyebrows were deeply locked, and she got up and paced. This matter would turn into this difficult situation, which was not be expected before. It's not difficult to understand who wanted his status to be shaken. When he was clearly qualified to be one of the admiral's camps, except Zhang Lun Naturally, everyone is in danger. The Duke of Ding only needs to add a fire to make these guys hug themselves.

What did the emperor say? I think the emperor will summon the old man alone to ask for advice. Song Nan paused and asked.

"After the morning, the emperor did summon the old man. Naturally, the emperor wanted you to be one of the admiral camp, but the emperor was also very embarrassed. After all, the admirals of the regiment camp were not at fault, and there was no reason for anyone else. And in the early morning, Xu Guangzuo also vaguely said that it is natural to reward and punish merit, but those who have no faults should not be punished. This means to remind the emperor that he cannot deprive the commander-in-chief of the regiment camp at will.

Song Nan was a little speechless. He didn't mind kicking away a marquis to replace him. The admirals of these regimental camp occupied their positions for more than ten years. With no merit, they could go straight to the regimental battalion leader completely by relying on Zu Yin's honorable title. Naturally, Song Nan would not pretend to say anything to them. But the problem is that although the nobles gradually decline, they are the most stubborn force of the Ming Dynasty and the most trusted force of the royal family. The emperor will not easily offend them. Although he is also a member of the noble relatives, the new nobles are bound to threaten the old nobles and relatives, and it is understandable to suffer from the collective *.

Although this matter is difficult to deal with, Song Nan does not intend to give up. The military power is the most core power. Although the Jinyiwei government is the core institution in the emperor's mind, it is still a little worse than the power of the internal and external court and the Beijing camp. Jinyiwei has no right to participate in the government. It is only raised by the emperor. It's just a dog.

What's more, the main force of Song Nan's mobilization to suppress the thieves this time is the soldiers and horses of the border town. Jiang Bin and Xu Tai have made achievements in battle. As the main generals, if they can't get the rewards they deserve, Jiang Bin and Xu Tai will certainly not be able to get the corresponding promotion rewards. In fact, on the way back to Beijing, Jiang Bin and Xu Tai hinted Song Nan more than once. I want to ask Song Nan for help, so that I can transfer them back to the capital to serve in Beijing this time.

Commander Jingying is the ultimate dream of the military officers of the Ming Dynasty, and Song Nan doesn't want to let them down.

Seeing Song Nan's solemn look, Zhang Lun said, "My brother-in-law, what the old man means is to slow down this time. If the emperor can't make proper arrangements for you this time, he must be ashamed. The old guys of the regimental of the regimental camp will not live for a few years. As long as this credit is still there, they will not worry about entering the regiment camp. "

Song Nan was extremely disappointed. After doing it for a long time, Zhang Mao asked Zhang Lun to bring this sentence to himself and ask him not to make trouble. Presumably because of this matter, the regimental battalion admiral turned away to the Duke of Ding, which made Zhang Mao feel a sense of crisis. When the status and interests of the British are threatened, it is the best choice to choose to sacrifice himself. This It's a way to lose your car.

Zhang Lun saw the displeasure in Song Nan's eyes and hurriedly said, "The old man said, otherwise I would recommend you to lead the position of the governor's army first, which is also a second-class military position. Although he is under Xu Guangzuo, he does not dare to do anything to you, and this position is just a transition. If there is a little vacancy in the regiment camp, it will be a big deal."

Song Nan sneered in his heart. How can the governor' government of the five armies compare with the Beijing camp? The governor's government of the five armies is divided into five governors around the front and right. It is the general organization of the soldiers and horses of the capital as the capital as the center, but in fact, it was greatly weakened at the time of Emperor Yongle. The governor has the power totong troops but does not have the right to transfer troops, and the power to transfer troops fell into the hands of the Ministry of War. Since then, it has been constrained and constrained by the Ministry of War, and has become a place of conflict between Xunqi and the foreign court.

What's more, even if it is the governor's office of the Chinese army, the commander's soldiers and horses are not soldiers and horses in the capital, but the soldiers and horses of more than a dozen guard stations near the left side of the capital, which do not belong to the Beijing camp. However, Zhang Mao recommended himself to serve as a matter of the governor's government of the Chinese army, not even the admiral. As far as Song Nan knows, the admiral of the governor's government of the Chinese army is the new Ning Bo Tan You, that is to say, if he is awarded the title of marquis, he wants to be a deputy under a count, which is simply ridiculous. I don't know whether Zhang Mao was confused or knowing that he would not agree and deliberately mentioned it casually. Afterward, it can be said that he did not want to take office, but that he did not try his best.

Song Nan sighed at people's snobbery. Although he did not plan to take advantage of the power of the Duke's government a long time ago and knew that everything depended on himself a long time ago, he still felt a little lost at this moment. After all, although he married the little princess and became the son-in-law of the Duke's mansion, he was still the object of sacrificed in Zhang Mao's eyes.

"Song Nan, to be honest, I think the old man's proposal is very inappropriate. In fact, I made a suggestion to the old man, but it was rejected by the old man. I planned to give up the position of admiral of Fenwu Camp. Anyway, I am the deputy governor of the regimental battalion, and I lead the Shenji camp to give the Fenwu camp to you. Zhang Lun knew that Song Nan was very unhappy and whispered.

Song Nan looked at Zhang Lun and said, "Little prince, you are very nice. At the beginning, I said that you are my lifelong friend of Song Nan. I believe you really want to help me, but how can I get a position from you? Isn't that a joke? I dealt with this matter by myself. When the young master went back, he greeted the old man for me and thanked him for worrying about me, but I understood it.

Zhang Lun opened his mouth but didn't say anything. The curtain in the back hall opened, and the little princess came out with a cloak embroidered for Zhang Lun. When the two brothers and sisters talked, Song Nan had quietly exited the hall. When the young father-in-law left, Uncle Zhong passed on Song Nan's words to sue him, saying that he was not feeling well and could not come to see him off.

Zhang Lun naturally knew the unhappiness in Song Nan's heart and sighed.
