Chapter 42 Real Identity
Since everything has reached a conclusion, the ministers naturally can't say anything more. Everyone looks at today's biggest beneficiary, Xu Jinghong, with envy and hatred. Today, this teenager not only showed his skills before the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty and greatly improved his name, but also obtained the official position of the imperial court. The future development must be immeasurable.
But it's also strange. Since returning to the Middle Palace from the outside, Xu Jinghong has not performed anything. Although his little military officer has no room to intervene on such an occasion, he should always say something. But he really didn't have any more performance. He just stood at the end of the ministers, but there was a slight surprise on his face, because when he returned to the hall, he suddenly saw a friend he was familiar standing in the front of the ministers.
This is an extraordinary young man who can make Xu Jinghong stunned and ignore his personal affairs for a long time. He was dressed in a bright yellow python robe and knew at a glance that he was a powerful in the court. And he has a friendship with Xu Jinghong, and his identity is a little mysterious.
Although both of them were also in the hall just now, Xu Jinghong was busy dealing with Fang Yuanshan, and Xu Jinghong did not see him. Later, when he went out of the hall, it was a little messy, and Xu Jinghong was absorbed in the upcoming test, so he didn't pay much attention to it. It was not until he returned to the palace and the ministers stood again that he saw that the friend was also in the hall and stood quite high.
Through the extremely short distance between him and the throne and the clothes that ordinary courtiers can't wear, Xu Jinghong can already guess his true identity. Zong Xiao should be one of the sons of Zhao Zhe, the current emperor. This really makes Xu Jinghong hard to believe. Although from his speech and manners, his origin is not rich or noble, he only thinks that he is an ordinary son of a family, but it turns out to be a royal man.
Zong Xiao is Zhao Zong, the fourth son of today's son Zhao Zhe. And he told Xu Jinghong that his life was just to take out the part of his name, and then poured it down (Zhao wrote Zhao in traditional Chinese).
Zong Xiao should not call him Zhao cong now. He has also found that Xu Jinghong looked at himself with a wry smile. He didn't expect that Xu Jinghong, a friend, would meet him under such a scene, which made him a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, this embarrassing situation was quickly alleviated, and the emperor had begun to announce the title of Xu Jinghong as the capital of the National Security Division, and the official was in the fifth grade. Xu Jinghong quickly took his mind and came forward to thank him. He knew that he had officially established a root in Beijing, which made him a little excited.
For nearly two years of hard work, he suffered so much, took so many risks, and even survived several times. What he did was to have this day. Now that his minimum goal has been achieved and he has a certain power in the capital, it is naturally much easier than before to take action in the future.
The only shortcoming is that the emperor failed to arrange everything immediately. Whether it is the location of the government department of the National Security Department or the personnel below, it is still unknown. After the next court, Xu Jinghong went to negotiate with the three government departments of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Household.
In this regard, today's meeting is finally over, and it has passed noon, and this court will take longer than any previous court meeting. The previous court, whether it was a big dynasty or a small dynasty, was just a scene or a form, and everything could be finished in about an hour. But today, because of Xu Jinghong's incident, the court meeting lasted for nearly two hours, which was really surprising.
The crowd dispersed, and many people, either sincerely or with a certain purpose, came to Xu Jinghong to congratulate him. Xu Jinghong is right with a smile. Whether the other party's words are thorns or not, he will deal with them calmly. He still has this point in the city, and it is impossible to draw a knife against it because of some slight provocations in some people's words.
It was not until the crowd dispersed that Xu Jinghong saw the figure not far from him. It was Zhao cong. After seeing the other party, he couldn't help laughing: "Brother - no, it should be the prince. You lied me so hard!"
"Cough!" Zhao cong also smiled bitterly: "I didn't mean to lie to you. After all, my identity... In fact, sometimes, I really hope that I am Zong Xiao - a son of an ordinary family."
Hearing what he said, Xu Jinghong also nodded with approval. He could hear that the other party was telling the truth, and from the perspective of the imperial family that Xu Jinghong once knew, sometimes a prince and grandson was indeed not as happy as the children of ordinary families.
"You... won't blame me for cheating you, will you?" When the two walked out of the Middle Pole Hall side by side, Zhao Cong asked again.
Xu Jinghong nodded: "I understand your pain and your choice. To be honest, if I were you, I would have told the same lie. After all, there are not many people in the world who can treat princes like you as friends as I do. With that, he laughed and taped the other party a few times with his hand.
Zhaocong also laughed. He felt the friendship from Xu Jinghong, which also came from the bottom of his heart. This quickly dissipated some of his original worries and moved his eyes: "I, Zhao cong, am really lucky to have a friend like you in this life!"
"But it's true that you lied to me, so I must punish you!" Xu Jinghong suddenly smiled narrowly: "I don't know if the prince is willing to admit the punishment?"
"Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."
"It's very simple. This time I got such an official position and always want to have a good meal with my brothers to celebrate. These expenses are up to you. It would be better if you could condescend to be with us.
"But I dare not invite you." Zhao cong's answer was very straightforward: "To be honest, I also feel very happy with you and your brothers. But I don't know when you want to set this meal?"
"Of course, it's tonight, and you can come to my place. After eating this meal, I will start to prepare for the future tomorrow, and I have to deal with several government. After talking about the relaxed topic, Xu Jinghong began to worry about the later problems again.
"The three government officials, households and soldiers are under the control of the family, and I can't help! However, judging from the attitude of Lord Xu today, he seems to be able to help you. And the military department is the world of their Xu family, so you should be able to relax. Zhao cong helped to start planning.
"Xu family..." After Xu Jinghong spit out these two words, his face showed a complicated look, and he did not know how to face the father of that bloodline. But now that you have reached this point, you shouldn't avoid it and meet it directly!
When they walked out of the palace while talking, the emperor had already seen all this. He was a little surprised that his son had a friendship with the people he wanted to help, but soon, he felt that this was a good omen. In this way, Xu Jinghong might be more willing to help him deal with those family forces.
"Huang Yue, how do you see Xu Jinghong's performance today?" After a long time, the emperor asked the humanity around him.
Huang Yue thought for a moment and then replied, "In the opinion of the old slave, this son is indeed good at martial arts. Even if He Gang is not a first-class master, it is not easy to deal with. Even if the old slave took action, it was impossible to defeat him so easily, let alone take his life face to face. So in Lao Nu's opinion, the ability of Xu Jinghong and those twelve people is similar.
"Hey, when did I ask you about his martial arts?" The emperor glanced at Huang Yue angrily: "Is a person's ability only distinguished by his martial arts? In this way, most of the people in the court are useless.
"Your Majesty, it's an old slave who is confused." Huang Yue said with a wry smile. He was already a little moved by Xu Jinghong's few skills, so he had that kind of words. However, he quickly resumed his judgment and said, "Your Majesty, although Xu Jinghong is not old, he is calm and powerful. He should be a useful person."
"Well, what should he think of some of his and the Xu family?" The emperor quickly took the topic to a more ** place.
"This remains to be tested. Let's take a look again and believe that soon we will know what kind of relationship he and the Xu family is. After saying this cautiously, Huang Yue said, "However, judging from the fact that he has not given Xu Zhengnian any face to his face today, the relationship between him and the Xu family is still very bad."
"Yes, I also saw this, which is why I want to support him. However, we still need to see if this person is completely credible. It depends on how he deals with those three government. If you can really satisfy me, you can secretly stay with him for a while to give him a hint, so that I can deal with those people.
"Your Majesty!" Huang Yue nodded and praised. Under some blazing sun, the figures of the two became a little blurred, which made people feel chills when they saw it...
