Chapter 28 In the Big Tree

Wang Dan held a banquet at the Wei Yamen in Weizhou and warmly entertained the visitors of the Ministry of War. Although this governor is not his governor, the word 'examination' added earlier shows that his authority lies in the daily behavior and meritorious performance of the selection of the military attache of the border town. For local military personnel like Wang Dan, the examination of the Ministry of War still needs to be nodded by the emperor. But after all, the election of the governor of the Ministry of War has the right to speak, so it is better to be polite to these people, at least on the surface.

Qian Wanda's car was exhausted and was not in a hurry to do things. After the banquet, he was led to the post hall to live and rest. At the end of each year, the border town trip, large and small military officers need to go through it. At least takes more than a month, and they are not in a hurry.

Of course, Wang Dan will not be in a hurry to bring up Jiang Bin's matter. According to the rules, he always have to start with his own debriefing, and then go down to the same knowledge, incident, thousands of households, hundreds of households. When it comes to Jiang Bin's turn, Qian Wanda will naturally come to ask for his own evaluation, but the defeat of the Black Mountain Fort reported to the Ministry of War will be at that time. It is naturally proposed.

Wang Dan has come up with a statement. He must first praise Jiang Bin's talent, and finally regret that although he cherishes Jiang Bin's talent, he will never cover up his dereliction of duty and will raise his hands to support the decision of the military department. In a word, he should express his ideas skillfully and cannot teach people to be honest. .

In the afternoon, Wang Dan slept beautifully. After getting up, he practiced his fists and feet and took a hot bath. After changing his clothes, he ordered people to make a pot of good tea and taste it deliciously. Suddenly, he saw the housekeeper report that the 100 households of Jinyiwei in Weizhou came to visit. Wang Dan was stunned. He was not close to Fang Datong and had a close to the people of Jinyiwei himself. Xiang keeps a proper distance, because it's a bunch of mad dogs. No matter how good the relationship is, it's useless. When they turn around, they don't care about friendship at all.

The most famous thing in the officialdom is the case of Liu Xunzhi, the chief magistrate of Zhejiang Province. Liu Xunzhi and Mou Bin, the commander of Jinyiwei, are from the same hometown. It is said that there are still some relatives, but Liu Xunzhi just complained about the current emperor after being drunk and scolded his mother. After being informed by Jinyiwei, he was reported to Mou Bin. Mou Bin Unexpectedly, he personally led people from the capital to feel that Zhejiang investigated this matter.

Liu Xunzhi thought that he was both a fellow countryman and a relative, and that things would not be so bad, but he didn't expect that Mou Bin to fight and forced him to admit the crime of great disrespect and slander. Only then did Liu Xunzhi realize that something was wrong and used his superior relationship to plead for mercy, and even knelt down for mercy for Mou Bin. In the end, he failed to keep his black gau hat. Bin returned to Beijing and reported the matter. He asked for the imperial edict to arrest Mou Bin into the prison of Fusi in Beizhen. Finally, he was exiled by his family in southern Fujian. Liu Xun died in southern Fujian after he was only 50 years old.

Although there was a serious fight between Jinyiwei and Dongchang at that time, and Mou Bin probably did so because he hoped to suppress Dongchang with a big case, it was enough to see that the mad dogs of Jinyiwei had no humanity, which also remind officials of all sizes. It is reasonable to cherish life and stay away from Jinyiwei.

Wang Dan's impression of Datong is also very vague. He deliberately kept a distance from Jinyiwei Weizhou Baihu, which is of the same level and is rare to meet on weekdays. In Weizhou City, Jinyiwei Baihu is almost an idle government office. For a long time, Wang Dan even forgot that Weizhou still has Jinyiwei's hands and feet here. , this side is asking for a meeting today, I don't know what's the matter?

Although he was reluctant, he still wanted to see him. Wang Dan ordered Fang Datong to meet him in the flower hall. He changed his clothes and sat for a while before Shi Ran went to the flower hall to meet the guests.

Fang Da was equally bored. He was carefully studying the decorations in Wang Danhua Hall and secretly smacked his tongue. Among other things, the two blue and white porcelain bottles on the case were valuable antiques, not to mention the old jade candlestick incense burner and the huge pure gold Buddha statue on the incense case. Fang Datong couldn't help holding up a vase to play. When he got up, he suddenly heard someone coughing behind him, which made him shake his hand and almost fall the vase to the ground.

"Does Fang Baihu like this vase? If you like it, I will give it to you. Wang Dan was dressed in a black cloth and dark silk robe, not like a town soldier, but like a rich man.

Fang Datong quickly set up the vase in his hand and arched his hand repeatedly and said, "How dare you, how dare you? This is the favorite thing of the king's command. How can you win love? I just saw that this vase is exquisite and cute, and I just picked it up and looked at it for a moment."

Wang Dan returned the gift and laughed, "What is grabbing love, but it's just an ordinary pair of blue and white porcelain bottles of the Yuan Dynasty, and it's not worth a hundred taels of silver. If you like it, take it."

Fang Datong secretly smacked his tongue, and a pair of ordinary vases were worth a hundred taels. They were placed on the table in the flower hall. The commander seemed to have nowhere to spend a lot of money.

"Your excellency is laughing. Your humble position is presumptuous to come here to disturb you. Don't be surprised."

"Yes, I also wonder that Fang Baihu rarely comes to my door. What brings you here today?" Wang Dan laughed, stretched out his hand to signal Fang Datong to sit down, and ordered people to have tea, and he stabbed on the mahogany master.

Fang Datong bowed and said, "The commander is busy with his official business. How dare he bother you on weekdays? Today, he did come to ask for advice in advance. This was not notified in advance, so he roared. It's really too urgent to bring some gifts."

Wang Dan said curiously, "What's the emergency? What's the matter?"

Fang Datong looked around and stopped talking. Wang Dan frowned and looked at Fang Datong's sneaky appearance. He really didn't know what he was going to say. After thinking about it, he waved his hand to the maidservant standing in the hall.

Fang Datong waited for the idle people to leave the outside of the hall, quickly closed the door of the hall, and came to Wang Dan and arched his hand and said, "Your excellence, don't blame me for being cautious. Just because what I'm going to talk about today is related to the name of adults, I have to be careful. It's not good to teach others to listen to it."

Wang Dan frowned and said, "Is it an old man's festival? Fang Baihu, if you have something to say, why are you so nagging?

Fang Datong blinked and said, "Yes, yes, this matter... How to put it, it's really hard to say, this... that..."

Wang Dan became a little impatient and said unhappily, "What's this and that? Let's talk about it quickly. I'm going to the post office later to visit the officials selected by the Ministry of War. Come on."

Fang Datong laughed, scratched his ears and cheeks, and gritted his teeth and said, "Well, after all, what will be said is like this. As a hundred households of Jinyiwei in Weizhou, Fang has his responsibilities in accordance with the above requirements. Sometimes his actions involve adults and officials in Weizhou, that is also It's helpless. Presumably, adults can also understand the pains of inferiority.

Wang Dan said, "That's natural. I've never pointed out anything about your brocade guard government."

Fang Datong laughed and said, "This humble job knows that the humble job means that this time the humble job accidentally learned a piece of news that it is about adults. The humble job felt that this matter was too important. I wanted to report it immediately, but I felt it necessary to come to the adults to verify it to avoid mistakes. The humble job can't afford it."

Wang Dan was puzzled and asked, "Fang Baihu, what's the matter? If you don't tell me how can I confirm it for you?

Fang Datong hummed and said, "Ask the elder, is there a manor in the north of the city, and there are nearly 10,000 mu of fertile land in the manor?"

Wang Dan's face changed and he squint and said, "What? When did Fang Baihu change to the Ministry of Household? This is my private property, so what?

Fang Datong waved his hand and said, "Your excellency, don't misunderstand. The humble position is nothing else. I just want to ask, has your manor ever been disturbed by the soldiers? As far as I know, the Taran has become more arrogant, and the fields of villages 30 miles north of the city have been harassed. It is said that the adult's manor has never been disturbed by the Taran, which is a little strange.

Wang Dan got up and said angrily, "So what? I just transferred a key guard of a thousand households. Is it your turn to intervene? My husband's field is also my Daming real estate. Shouldn't we send troops to guard it?

Fang Datong quickly laughed and said, "That's not what inferiority means. Do you mean that you have transferred soldiers and horses to guard the manor? Didn't you suffer from the harassment of the soldiers?"

Wang Dan said proudly, "Ming people don't do secret things. That's right. I have transferred nearly a thousand guards around Shilibao and Yangshanbao, which is my power."

Fang Datong tilted his head and thought, "But that's not what I heard."

Wang Dan hummed and refused to answer. This guy was a night owl who came into the house and had nothing to do. He was already wary of him looking for trouble, but it turned out that he was to transfer troops to protect private property. This time, he was not unreasonable. Where the soldiers and horses were stationed in can not be at the mercy of the brocade guards. On the contrary, the brocade guards said about this matter, but he was suspected of out of over power.

"The news I heard was that... The Taran soldiers deliberately bypassed the adult's manor and did not disturb it. The fields and villages around were harmed by the Taran soldiers, but they let go of the adult's manor. This matter... Um..."

Fang Datong seemed to be talking to himself. Hearing Wang Dan's ears, he was stunned. The meaning of his words could be heard even by a fool. An anger rose from Wang Dan's heart. He reached out and patted the table, shaking the pair of vases worth 100 taels on the table rolling down the table and rattling. , fell to pieces.

"Fang Baihu, be careful when you speak. Some words can't be held by people like you. I said what you are doing here today. It turned out that you came to find my fault. That's all, I will report what you said to the court today. I don't think even Commander Mou dare to say such words at will. Come on, see you off! " Wang Dan turned around and turned around and left.

Fang Datong sneered and said, " Commander Wang, why did you react so violently? Don't you want to explain? I have already told you that my Jinyiwei government office is doing spying and pickets. What's more, I don't dare to open my mouth without evidence. You don't have to go to the court all the time. I went back to write *.

Wang Dan stopped and slowly turned around and said, "Evidence? Joke, do you still have evidence? I'm lonely, but I'd like to see what evidence you have."
