Chapter 2* Appearance and separation
(a pile of monthly tickets for the three brothers Xie lxzx, bobby75222 and old bear) Chapter 2
In the early morning, a large number of officials surrounded Zhang Lun and Song Nan to congratulate him. Although some people thought that the appointment with Song Nan was inappropriate, after the fait accompli, Song Nan had become the number one person in the court.
Although the position of the commander of Jinyiwei is not high, it is definitely a powerful department and a direct subordinate department of the emperor, which is not ambiguous.
More thoughtful people smelled the unusualness of today's morning. Today, Zhang Mao, the husband of the British government, who has always been detached, will follow Song Nan's words, which is somewhat unusual; supporting the establishment of a three-sided general system is tantamount to weakening the influence of the inner court, which is an indirect disaster to the inner court led by Liu Jin. This is quite interesting.
When the emperor was trapped, Song Nan's first choice was not to ask for help from the border troops in Datong Xuanfu, but to send people thousands of miles away to ask for help from Zhang Lun in the capital, and Zhang Lun brought the soldiers to the northern suburbs of the capital early for summer training in advance, which always made people feel that there seemed to be something in it. Could it was Song Nan and the Duke of the State Has there already been a secret link between them?
As civil servants in the foreign court, they are happy to see this happen in the current situation. At present, the main target of cabinet and foreign civil officials is Liu Jin and others in the inner court. Naturally, Song Nan's rise is not what they want to see, but it is obvious that Song Nan is not wearing the same pair of trousers as Liu Jin in today's dynasty. What civil officials are most worried about is not the rise of Song Nan, but about the closer collusion between Song Nan and Liu Jin after the rise. In that case, foreign civil servants will completely become a decoration.
There was a sense of anger in the hearts of the civil servants. Last year, they couldn't let go of the collective impeachment of the eight tigers. This scene must be found. Today's proposal to set up a three-sided general system was a blow to Liu Jin. Although he could not move his muscles and bones for the time being, even if there was a little blow, it was also the joy of the literary ministers. I'm happy to hear it.
In view of this, Song Nan's promotion has inspired the civil servants. The emperor is surrounded by two tigers. Why not let Song Nan become the vanguard to deal with Liu Jin and let the two dogs bite him?
Zhang Lun was promoted to first-class marquis and promoted to deputy governor of the regiment camp. Don't mention the happiness in his heart. This time, it was a completely long face. Under the circumstances unknown to the old man, Song Nan prepared for his great contribution, and all his resentment towards Song Nan disappeared; and Song Nan is now also a brocade guard. The commander has become a popular figure in the court. As Song Nan's current status, it is not a high climb to the Duke of China.
"Lord Song, how about going to my house for a drink at noon?" Zhang Lun took Song Nan's arm and walked down the steps of Fengtian Hall with a smile.
Song Nan smiled and said, "If you dare not obey, it's not a Hongmen banquet this time."
Zhang Lun smirthed, "Don't mention the old things. Do you still have a grudge against me? The girl greeted me early this morning and asked me to invite you to drink anyway, but I was ordered to act.
Song Nan smiled and said, "Then I dare not disobey." Song Nan looked around and suddenly came to Zhang Lun's ear and whispered, "Why does your old man speak for me today? I'm flattered."
Zhang Lun whispered, "I don't know. The old man has set up a sand table at home these days to deduce the history of our battle and scolded several soldiers in the border town, thinking that they had not seen through the intentions of the Tartan soldiers from the beginning. I think the old man must think it is today. Your proposal was in line with his mind, so he made a proposal.
Song Nan was silent. It turned out that her husband did not deliberately help him speak, but happened to coincide with his ideas. He thought that Zhang Mao would suddenly look at himself differently, but he was a little affectionate.
"Soong Nan, have you really torn your face with Liu Jin?" Zhang Lun asked in a low voice.
Song Nan frowned and said, "Why did you ask such a question?"
"Once the three-sided general government opens, the town eunuchs sent by the inner court have little effect on the border army. This is a disguised stage play with Liu Jin. Didn't you see Liu Jin's wink? It's about to spit out fire. OK, you're good enough." Zhang Lun has a tall finger.
Song Nan was stunned. He didn't expect the connection between the two at all. He just felt that it was necessary to make some suggestions on the defense shortcomings of the border town. Liu Daxia's suggestion was unreliable. He said a few words just a suggestion. As for the proposal that would eventually damage the power of the inner court, he did not take it at all. I have thought about it. No wonder in the hall, Liu Jin looked at her and seemed to swallow herself. It turned out that she inadvertently swallowed Liu Jin's reverse scales.
"What? Do you regret it?" Zhang Lun looked at Song Nan's stunned expression and smiled.
Song Nan squeaked her lips and shook her head and said, "What's there to regret? Are there still few people who offended me? I'm not a person inside and outside the court, including your government. I've been used to it for a long time.
Zhang Lun laughed and said, "What did our government do with you? Don't you still invite you to the banquet? This is to treat you like a guest of honor; don't worry, no matter how the old man treats you from today, I, Zhang Lun, will definitely treat you as a friend. If there is anything to say hello, I will do my best. Besides, if the emperor is good to you, what if Liu Jin is angry? Don't be afraid of him."
Song Nan shook her head and said silently. The two walked down the high steps to walk out of the palace. Suddenly, they heard someone behind them shouting loudly: "Lord Song, stay."
Song Nan turned around and saw an eunuch hurried down the steps, came to them and smiled, "Lord Song, the emperor, please go to Qianqing Palace to talk."
Song Nan arched his hand and said, "Thank you, father-in-law. I'm going to see the emperor."
After the little eunuch left, Zhang Lun looked worried. Song Nan said, "Please invite me first. I'll go to your house to disturb you when I leave the palace."
Zhang Lun whispered, "I guess Liu Jin said something in front of the emperor. I can't help you with this matter. You should deal with it carefully."
Song Nan nodded and said, "Don't worry, goodbye."
Song Nan walked north along the avenue on the side of Fengtian Hall and soon reached the outside of the Qianqing Palace. Several female officials and eunuchs stood in front of the door. A pair of Luan drivers stopped at the gate of the palace. Song Nan keenly felt that something was wrong. This Luan driver was Princess Kangning's driver, and several female officials were also a little familiar. It was a few servants beside the princess. The person.
Princess Corning is in the Qianqing Palace!
Song Nan's scalp suddenly became numb. In the past ten days, she almost forgot one thing, which was not easy to deal with. Song Nan instinctively wanted to turn her head and leave, but Zhengde summoned him. Even the sea of knives and fire had to break in. In desperation, she had no choice but to walk in with her clothes.
In a room in the apse of Qianqing Palace, Zhengde and Princess Corning sat opposite each other on the cold couch, with a fan on the left and right. Liu Jin stood aside with two small eunuchs. There were several large pieces of cut watermelons on the table. Princess Corning dug bright red watermelon with a silver spoon. Eating.
The little eunuch at the door reported loudly: "Lord Song Nan and Song, the commander of Jinyiwei, asked to see you."
Kang Ning sat up straight, reached out and put down the silver spoon, wiped the juice from the corners of his mouth with a white silk scarf and looked at the door with expectation; Zhengde said, "Let Song Nan come in."
Song Nan lowered her head into the room and saluted Zhengde and the princess. She only felt that it was uncomfortable for Zhu Xiufu to stare at her. Song Nan dared not look up and stood aside.
Zhengde smiled and said, "Come on, show Song Nan a seat."
The little eunuch brought a chair, and Song Nan thanked it and sat diagonally aside.
"Song Nan, last time we talked together or on the top of the beacon. Half a month later, we have been eating watermelon and chatting here. Looking back on that day, it's really like a dream." Zhengde sighed.
Song Nan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the matter has passed, and we have returned triumphantly, and the emperor can also feel at ease."
Zhengde nodded and said, "Yes, I recall the situation at that time these days and deeply feel that it would be difficult for me to protect it if it hadn't been for you to protect me. You guys are loyal to me, and I will remember this. At present, the people around me who can tell the truth are you and Liu Jin. You have also seen, Li Dongyang Today, I threatened my resignation again, and I can't make friends with them.
Song Nan said, "Your Majesty, don't think too much. It's a matter to protect the master. The foreign court has the responsibility of the foreign court. After all, we went on a tour without notifying them. The reason why they have some remarks is also out of consideration of the emperor's safety and the safety of the country and society. The emperor doesn't have to pay attention to it."
Zhengde nodded slightly and said, "That's right. I will let you take charge of the brocade guard. In the future, you and Liu Jin should cooperate sincerely and keep an eye on them for me. I can feel their dissatisfaction. As long as they don't go out of the cabinet, I won't do anything to them, but I won't condone them."
Song Nan said, "I will. The heavy burden of Huang* Jinyiwei will be shouldered by the minister. I am under great pressure. I will do my best to live up to the emperor's value."
Zhengde smiled and said, "If you don't understand, you can ask Liu Jin. After all, Xiaojinzi is older and knows more. I know that you have been in the brocade guard for a short time and are young, but I believe you have this ability. Besides, who won't pick up this burden for me?"
Song Nan glanced at Liu Jin with a smile and nodded, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will try my best to deal with the job. Eunuch Liu will take more care of him in the future."
Liu Jin smiled and said, "Lord Song is polite. Who doesn't know Lord Song's ability? I don't dare to ask for advice, but since the emperor has issued a message, we have to remind Lord Song. The brocade guard government is different from ordinary government offices. It doesn't matter if it is only a thousand households or a small government office such as the governor of the north and south town, but now it is in charge of tens of thousands of brocade guards, and dozens of thousands of households. And within the imperial edict organ appointed by the emperor, you can't act carelessly.
Song Nan smiled secretly: I'm polite to you, and you really taught me a lesson.
