Although he did not take the imperial examination and did not like art, there were many books in Xu Xun's study, most of which were given by Zhang Mao. After he became famous, Zhu Houzhao often gave some new imperial books or rare books in the library. Therefore, his study was filled with all kinds of books. The fragrance of literary knots was the most familiar to Cao Qian, a serious scholar. When he entered the house, he couldn't help but glance around. After he introduced it by his younger brother Cao Mi, he knelt down and kowtow according to his etiquette.

"This is not in the court, Cao Mi, help your brother up."

Xu Xun in the main seat smiled and raised his hand. When Cao Qian stood up and stood up with his hands down, he had to look at the young man carefully. Unlike Cao Mi, who had a great chance of getting into a new cottage, Cao Qian was about twenty-five or six, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, tall figure, and red lips, white teeth, white skin and tender flesh. He was more like a soldier in the army. He could not tell that he had passed the scholar early, and he was even a student of Yang Yiqing.

After looking at it for a while, he smiled and ordered, "Sit."

Cao Qian sat down as if he was in his father's military tent. He had only a little chair under his body, his back was straight, and his hands were naturally placed on his knees. Seeing him in this situation, Shen Ying, who was born in the army, was very satisfied and couldn't help but nod and praised: "I have heard that Cao Xiong was strict in governing the army and rewarded and punished properly. Although he had never seen him personally, he only looked at his two sons, which was much better than me! Although the bastard in my family had already been a commander, he didn't have much ability to do. If he could be one-tenth of the two brothers, I wouldn't have to worry so much!"

"Jingyang Bo was awarded more. Bei Zhi was just doing some documents under his father's account, or was his second brother listening to the training day and night under Pingbei Bo's command. It was much better than Bei Zhi, a brother."

"There is no such thing as listening to the training day and night? Your brother is serious and careful in doing things, which shows the tutoring." Xu Xun smiled slightly, then put away his smile and asked, "You said you are in charge of documents under your father's account? Since that's the case, you should be quite familiar with the border military strategy. Now what is the situation in the three towns in Shaanxi? Let's talk about it first."

"Yes." Cao Qian immediately raised his head and said with a solemn look, "Since Governor Yang supervised the horse politics in Shaanxi several years ago, he has cleaned up more than 66,000 hectares of grasslands one by one. Now there are more than 90,000 hectares of grasslands in Shaanxi, and 400,000 kilograms of tea. After that, every year, the tea and horse market can obtain thousands of horses. The use of horses in each army can be guaranteed to be safe. In addition, all tea and transportation are recruited for merchants without any need to recruit other people. In addition, between Yansui and Hengzhou, my father followed the constitutional order of Governor Yang, and had built nine hundred piers and nine hundred warm Qiao, and the number of garrisons increased to 4,500. Huamachi newly established a garrison, and more than 1,200 soldiers have been recruited..."

Xu Xun nodded while listening, and he was convinced that Cao Qian had managed documents from his father. Even if he had prepared in advance, these things could be easily discussed, it was not easy for young people of this age. Cao Qian explained the situation of the three towns, especially Yan Suizai, and he bowed again and said, "Before his humble duty, he had visited Governor Yang. Governor Yang mentioned that the little prince's troops had not been able to attack Yansui before, but Ningxia had many troubles. In addition, Ningxia had many areas that needed to be rectified, so he wanted to ask the court to exempt Ningxia from half of the taxes, and in addition, Lianghuai salt was invited to attract 340,000 yuan to enrich the border reserves in Guyuan and other places. Over the years, there have been many refugees in Shaanxi and planned to recruit refugees to farm and prepare for borders."

Cao Qian had a good memory and repeated the few things that Yang Yiqing said casually before in front of Xu Xun. Seeing Xu Xun thinking, he stopped for the time being. But at this time, Shen Ying smiled and said, "Isn't Governor Yang your teacher? Why don't you call him a mentor, but Governor Yang's words?"

"Reporting to Jingyang Bo, I am now reporting to the border affairs to the adults, and I dare not abolish the public for personal gain."

Seeing Cao Qian's answer seriously, Shen Ying couldn't help laughing: "Good boy, such a man who dares not depose his official position for personal gain! Governor Yang can draw a bow to defeat the enemy, and dismount to manage Anmin. It is really rare for him to be a child from a military family to take the imperial examination. However, if you go to the imperial examination, you will be a fool who speaks like a saint in more than ten years. It's better to be like this now. Pingbei Bo, you are so lucky. You can come whatever you think!"

Xu Xun then came to his senses and knew that Shen Ying was saying the joke just now. He remembered that he had complained to Shen Ying half-truely that the letters and posts at home were piled up, and that he actually wanted to work Zhang Cai and Tang Yin to help sort them. He couldn't help staring at Cao Qian again, and suddenly said, "I know all the things you reported to Governor Yang, and I will try to turn around. But you, your father sent you to the capital, but what else do you have to give?"

After the news of the great changes in the capital came out, Cao Xiong was already preparing to send gifts to the capital. However, at first it was not just for Xu Xun, but Cao Xiong took it all in with Liu Jin. After all, Liu Jin was from Shaanxi and had a friendship with Cao Xiong. However, Cao Qian tried his best to dissuade his father.

"My second brother is under the command of Pingbei Bo, and he has been given a gift from thousands of households. At his age, he is considered an exception. Although my father is in the same hometown as Eunuch Liu, he has never had any relationships. Now even if he tries his best to contribute, he may not be suspicious because of his second brother's relationship. Since this is the case, it is better to devote himself to Pingbei Bo. Master Bo is young and ambitious, and he is also acclaimed Bo for his military merits. He is born close to people in the military, so why bother to seek far away? It is easy to get away from the easy to get away?"

At that time, Xu Xun asked such words to his father. At this moment, since Xu Xun asked such a clear word, Cao Qian immediately stood up and knelt down on one knee: "Report to Bo Ye, before his departure, his father had instructed that he had fought several wars in front of the Yansui Army, and had already experienced documents and documents. If he had the opportunity, he hoped to find a place in the capital to hone his skills. The Cao family started from the army, and whether the family reputation could continue to be undefeated depends on his real ability!"

Shen Ying listened to this, looked at Cao Qian, and looked at Cao Mi again. He remembered that his family had obtained a son of the commander by taking thousands of stones of food in front of the army. He felt even more uncomfortable for a moment. Xu Xun, who had no children and grandchildren, naturally could not understand Shen Ying's little thoughts. He laughed twice, then stood up and helped Cao Qian up in person.

"Since your father said that, I just lacked someone here, so I will transfer you to my Left Official Hall. Not to mention anything else, I want someone to give it to others, you should bring me some people who are in charge of the documents first. In addition, I am not afraid of people saying that I will squeeze you at such a young age. My family has been unable to bear it by posting and sending letters all day long. You spend a little time every day to help take care of this. The same is true. Don't just be busy, bring me a few people out!"

Cao Qian was surprised and happy to see that Xu Xun had made such a promise in one go. However, what surprised him even more was that after he thanked him, Xu Xun, who had sat back, smiled and said, "Your father was promoted to the position of the Chief of Governor and transferred to the General of Guyuan. It was probably the case in the past few days. Your brother has been traveling to so many places this hot day, and he has also worked very hard. I plan to move him up. You, the brother, don't lose to your brother.

"Sir, humble job..."

Seeing that Cao Mi was about to speak, Xu Xun raised his hand to stop him, and then he smiled meaningfully at the others: "Zhang Xilu's order to be promoted to the right assistant censor is soon. Bo Hu is unwilling to enter the official position, otherwise he will be able to try the Yuan Dynasty and have a very easy future."

Speaking of this, Xu Xun looked at Shen Ying with a smile and said, "As for Jingyang Bo, you have a title and official position now, I think the one who is worried about should be the son. It is not a bad thing for me. Instead of holding him up on the wall, it is better to find a safe job and not to force him to the nine sides. After all, if you win, you will be rewarded, and you will lose everything. I can still make the decision on the matter if you transfer a commander of the vanguard army."

Shenying thought about his son Shen Zhou repeatedly grinding himself, wanting to release him as a general in order to help the father and son general shine his family in the future. Thinking about his three-legged kung fu and his military strategy, he gritted his teeth for a while and nodded for a long time, "Well, just follow what Pingbeibo said. I can't control this kid anymore. Maybe it's better to be here with you!"

Hearing this, Zhang Cai and Tang Yin looked at each other and understood the purpose of accompanying the guest this time.

When Xu Xun was celebrating that he had a young hero, Liu Jin also returned to his private residence outside the palace this day. Although the matter of the Minister of War was not very accurate, he was always tempted by Zhu Houzhao's temper. He knew that his plan would be successful, so he simply invited Jiao Fang over and called Liu Cai, the nephew who was sent by Liu Yu, the governor of Shanxi of Datong, Xuanfu, to the capital to give gifts, and proudly told them about the results of today in front of the two.

When Jiao Fang heard that the emperor had agreed to consider it, he was overjoyed and happier than Liu Cai. He quickly poured a cup and sent it to Liu Jin: "My father-in-law is really good! If this move is successful, he will definitely be unable to say what he has to suffer!"

"That's right, how could it be impossible for our family to do what we promised?"

Since he was promoted to the eunuch of the Sili Prison, Liu Jin has been paying attention to his words. The word "I" has been left unused for a long time. Seeing him proud, Liu Cai once again praised him and said humbly that if his uncle could be transferred back to the capital, he would definitely come to thank Yunyun. When he said the word "Thank you", Jiao Fang remembered that he heard that Liu Yu gave him ten thousand taels of silver for this, and he couldn't help but curl his lips contemptuously, and naturally cautiously did not let this expression fall into Liu Jin's eyes.

While drinking, Liu Jin's face was slightly drunk and he brought it out without realizing it: "When Xu Xun first entered Beijing, he was just such an inconspicuous ordinary boy. If our family hadn't had a good relationship with him, how could he have come today... Now he has just started to compete for a seat with our family. Alas, the young man is prone to ungrateful..."

Although he had been in Liu Jin's sect for a long time, Jiao Fang and Liu Jin had almost never heard Liu Jin say bad things about Xu Xun when they were talking to him. At this time, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He knew that Liu Jin had gradually felt Xu Xun's threat these days, so he could not avoid the wind in front of outsiders. Therefore, he immediately winked at Liu Cai, and then agreed with a smile on his face. Just as he was about to provoke further, a voice suddenly came from the outside.

"Eunuch Liu, Eunuch Gu is here!"

When Liu Jin heard this, half-true and half-fake drunkenness suddenly woke up and hurriedly shouted: "Please come in!"

Seeing this, Liu Cai hurriedly left and left. Jiao Fang saw that Liu Jin had no intention of retreating, so he sat down at the same place with peace of mind. Soon, a bald, short and fat man brought Gu Dayong in. Gu Dayong was a person who often came and went to. Seeing the leftovers on the table, he didn't care. He smiled and asked someone to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks as soon as he sat down. Then he picked up the roast chicken in the middle as if no one was around, tearing off a pair of chicken wings, and immediately started to eat and chew. The wind stormed the remaining clouds and drank half of the chicken. Then he took the hot towel and wiped his mouth and hands, and let out a long sigh.

"I was so late to inform me. Lao Liu, you must be unauthentic!"

"Look at what you said, who can go with us! I haven't cared about you late yet, you actually care about me asking you late." Liu Jin and Gu Dayong were so good at wearing a pair of pants at the time. Even if they complained, they still smiled. "Besides, they are just home-cooked side dishes, what can I say about treating to dinner... By the way, I heard that your West Factory is expanding its manpower, and Lao Qiu has come to me to complain several times. He said that you are grabbing the business!"

"Why, I can't move by recruiting people from the East Factory?" Gu Dayong smiled and said disdainfully, "He was lucky to take on the best position. Dongchang wants money and people, and he wants people to be a member of it. It's not like my broken yamen. I have to do everything myself... Next time he dares to complain, call me, and I will argue with him again!"

"My brother, I'm just saying a few words, why are you so serious?" Liu Jin persuaded him half-truely, and then he kept silent about his business and tried to persuade Gu Dayong to drink with him. He poured him seven or eight cups in a row. Seeing that Gu Dayong's face was already showing an unconcealed drunkenness, he spoke up and tentatively, "I'm talking about Lao Gu, on the night that the most deadly, the emperor quietly left the palace without even revealing a word to us. What method did that little guy Ruisheng fool Li Rong and the others?"

It was the first time Jiao Fang knew that it was the night when the winner was decided, Zhu Houzhao was not in the palace. Seeing that Liu Jin was also blushing, he knew that if Liu Jin was not happy tonight and was a little drunk, he would have been kept in the dark. So after thinking about it for a moment, he simply leaned on the table and pretended to be drunk. Sure enough, he squinted his eyes and saw that Liu Jin didn't notice him at all, and his eyes were only on Gu Dayong.

"What method? Hehe... do you really want to know?"

"Nonsense, Lao Gu, don't keep me indifferent!"

"Tsk tsk... Then I'll tell you!" Gu Dayong smiled and poured a cup for himself. It was not until Liu Jin snatched his cup away that he picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth to chew it slowly. Then he said slowly, "What other method can be used? Of course, there is only one, bluff... When the three old guys came in and knelt in, he didn't say anything. I naturally had a face to let the three of them say something quickly. Wang Yue couldn't help it, and immediately said passionately that the emperor wanted to kill us these disasters. As a result, a cup was smashed on the bed in a moment, followed by the jade pillow. Not long after, the few people were so scared that they ran away in panic. It was so relieved!"

Liu Jin could think of this method. When Gu Dayong said this, he felt relieved and could not help but hum, "That kid is lucky. If our family took advantage of the old friendship, even if they had the courage to go up and open the tent and take a look, it would be so easy for him to fool him."

"Otherwise, why would the emperor like him so much? Now the emperor does not live in the Ganqing Palace, but the superiors and subordinates are still set up according to the level of the Ganqing Palace. He originally just agreed, and the emperor seemed to be planning to give him a manager's name. Cao really did this, but our Ming Dynasty had the youngest manager's name since the Inner Officials......"

Although his eyes were already a little turbid because of the alcohol, Liu Jin's expression changed when he heard this. Seeing that Gu Dayong had fallen asleep with the wine glass, he couldn't help but mutter angrily: "The emperor has this temper. He is faster than anything else... The little guy who is less than twenty years old is going to be promoted to the management sign. I was over forty years old, and the East Palace agreed..."

"Brother-in-law, Eunuch Liu..."

Hearing the screams from outside, Liu Jin rubbed his eyes and stood up shakingly. Jiao Fang quietly opened his eyes wide, and saw the bald short and fat man who brought Gu Dayong in at the door, saying a few words, and then went out. He couldn't help but guess in his heart who could let Liu Jin go to see in person so late. However, he glanced at Gu Dayong who was sleeping soundly on the table, and after thinking about it, he stopped to find out what he planned.

"Sun Cong, you did a good job. If there are people like this in the future, let alone our family is drunk, you have to come in and report even if you fall asleep."

After drinking a sober soup, Liu Jin was no longer interested in drinking. He put the goblet beside him and gave an order to the bald and short man. He lowered his hand and replied, "Yes, unlike others who had already folded a bunch of flattery, he couldn't help but be very satisfied with this sister-in-law who he had specially brought from Shaanxi. The account-keeping manager is good at making good decisions, taciturn, and clever, and he is a relative, so no matter how reliable such a person is.

"You do your best. Sooner or later, our family will take you into a job in the six departments."

"My wife thanks my father-in-law!"

After nodding, Liu Jin changed into a dress under the personal service of someone, and then he accompanied him to the study. As soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw a young man with his butt next to the chair jumping up suddenly. He nodded with a smile: "Qian Ning, you are not a little arrogant. Our family has sent someone to invite you three or five times, but you have only come now."

"My father-in-law forgives his crimes, he really can't get any time to do his job."

Although he was not unfamiliar with Liu Jin, he had never said much on weekdays, so when Qian Ning first invited Liu Jin, he tried every means to shirk it. However, Liu Jin sent someone to invite him again and again, and his words were a bit heavy, saying that he looked down on him. In his helplessness, he thought that Liu Jin would sooner or later to take over the Sili Supervisory Office, and he was also a little scared and could only come secretly tonight.

"I can't get out of time? I'm afraid it may not be?" Liu Jin looked at Qian Ning with a smile. Seeing that he had avoided his gaze unnaturally, he stopped forcing him. Instead, he said slowly. "Our family has a close relationship with Brother Xu. I came to you today, not for anything else, but to show you a message to him. The commander of the Jinyiwei commander Ye Guang was so ill that he died. It is said that at most it will last until next year. It is not a good luck to go within this year. You are Brother Xu's confidant and have enough credit for your grade. Maybe there is hope for that position."

"ah?"

Qian Ning suddenly widened his eyes and his face was full of incredible. Although he was a warrior, he was very active. Nowadays, the old ministers in the court who relied on their seniority all rolled up their beds and left. After the waves rose, he had to promote a group of confidants to take over those seats. At this moment, he was very itchy when Liu Jin said it, but he still said in fear and fear: "Eunuch Liu joked, what kind of virtue is that he can do? How dare he think of the position of the commander of the Jinyiwei..."

"As long as you have the courage and means, what's there to think?" Liu Jin smiled, then stood up and yawned, "It's for this matter. If you don't dare to recommend yourself to your adult, let's talk to you. Follow the people who have made so many contributions, it's no reason to have good things, but it's not the turn. It's such a great blessing for your adults to have such talents!"

Liu Jin stopped until he didn't keep Qian Ning saying anything, and let the person go in a moment. When the room became empty, he stretched and couldn't help but think about what he should do next, and a thought suddenly emerged in his mind.

The position is robbing him, but now Liu Jian and Xie Qian have driven away, and Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia have also left the old men, but his foundation in the court is not very stable. At this time, what he has to do is very simple, that is... to establish his authority! Moreover, he has to pull Xu Xun together, so that he can't let that kid behave like a cheap man. If he gets along with Qing Liu, it will be a huge trouble!

Thinking of this, Liu Jin smiled suddenly and had a safe idea in his heart. At this moment, a soft knock on the door suddenly came from outside, followed by another tentative call from father-in-law. He heard that it was Sun Cong's voice, and he immediately shouted in.

Soon, Sun Cong took a post and entered the door.

Seeing this, Liu Jin raised his eyelids: "Who is so sneaky and came to give gifts in the middle of the night?"

"Dadonnacle, I only wrote a hundred bows on the post." Sun Cong handed the post with his hands in confusion. Seeing Liu Jin looking around, he put it aside without interest. He took a deep breath and whispered, "But I, my father-in-law, this person gave him a heavy gift, a full ten thousand taels of silver."

"ah!"

Liu Jin jumped up all of a sudden. It is important to know that Liu Yu's nephew gave gifts at both ends, but in the end he chose him and gave him 10,000 taels of silver. So he gave the Minister of War without thinking. Now someone gave such a heavy gift, which shows that the high position and power of money are truly true. He endured his excitement and leaned forward and asked, "Where is that person?"

"That man has gone back." Seeing Liu Jin stunned, Sun Cong himself felt that this was too incredible, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva before saying, "That man said that the mere meeting gift would not be respectful. If the father-in-law was willing to see him, he would respect the respectful gifts in the future to show sincerity. If the father-in-law did not want to see him, these meeting gifts would be considered to be filial to his father-in-law."

A big deal is something that is unheard of!

Even though Liu Jin thought he was used to seeing the world, he had just arrived at the eunuch of Silijian. In addition, the oil and water he had heard before had never been so big, so he couldn't help but stand up with the armrest. After finally curbing his excitement, he laughed and said, "See, why don't you see me? When he comes back, you must report that if you are using this method in front of our family, how can we not take a good look at who is the sacred person?"
