Chapter five hundred and sixty-three
The eunuch Qiu Ju, the eunuch in the East Factory, was transferred to the position of eunuch in Nanjing!
When such news suddenly spread throughout the officialdom in the capital, Qiu Ju had already boarded the canal ship to the south with anger and annoyance under the support of the Royal Horse Supervisor's personal army, and was furious and upset, leaving a chaotic East Factory. In the officialdom, this was just a topic, but the shock among the internal officials was extraordinary. After all, this represented the first time that Liu Jin extended his hand to his colleague who was once known as the Eight Tigers, who was almost as good as wearing a pair of pants.
The most shocking was Ma Yongcheng, Wei Bin and Luo Xiang. Qiu Ju was still very proud of his life among them, but he was just offended Xu Xun. Xu Xun just gave Qiu Ju's godson a lesson, but Liu Jin took advantage of the issue and played. Chapter 563
He brought Liu together to defeat him, and directly raked Qiu Ju and rushed to Nanjing. If they had any offense, wouldn't it be a good end?
The most worrying thing is Luo Xiang. When he thought of his role in the farce of the Yudao Shu Shu, he felt like fifteen buckets of water were fed. Fortunately, he was still fair in the next few days, until he finally found out that Zhang Yong and Miao Kui were about to arrive in the capital. Early that morning, he went out of the city with Ma Yongcheng and Wei Bin who had agreed a few days ago to welcome him.
At the Nine Gate of the Capital, since the three of them could not confirm which city gate Zhang Yong and Miao Kui would come in, they simply walked a little longer to the west and rode their horses straight to the Yingbin Pavilion at the intersection of the official road. However, before the three of them arrived at the ground, they saw that the Yingbin Pavilion had been occupied from afar. Not only that, there were 20 or 30 guards scattered around the pavilion, which looked no more than ordinary people. Luo Xiang, who was impatient in his heart, narrowed his eyes and looked for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice: "It's Xu Xun!"
Thinking about Zhu Houzhao and Xu Xun's closeness back then, they all went to and from the Xu Mansion to more or less. However, compared with Liu Jin and Zhang Yonggu Dayong, that relationship seemed a bit farther away. So at this moment, Xu Xun actually saw Chapter 563
Liu was waiting in this pavilion, no one would think that he was full and had nothing to do to come here to rest. He guessed that he was here to pick up Zhang Yong and Miao Kui.
"Old man Miao and Lao Zhang are really worth a lot of face!"
Luo Xiang muttered with emotion, and then accelerated the horse and galloped up. Although Ma Yongcheng and Wei Bin were mixed with emotion, they also hurriedly followed. When they arrived outside the pavilion, they saw the guards pushing their swords forward to stop them, Luo Xiang shouted loudly: "I said Pingbei Bo, you are so fierce! Everyone is here to pick up people. Don't you have to be so disgusting, right?"
Xu Xun also had seen this group of people from afar. He heard this and smiled slightly, waved his hand and asked someone to retreat, and then stood up. He bowed his hand and saw the three of them. Then he shrugged helplessly: "It's not that they are tough, but I've been in bad luck recently. There will be people who will make plans wherever they go. Naturally, they are all suspicious of everyone, but they are not disrespectful to the three of them. Why, you are also here to pick up Eunuch Miao and Lao Zhang?"
"It's nothing to do, so I'll just take it as a relaxing moment."
Ma Yongcheng laughed, and when the other two agreed, he wanted to find some topics to talk to Xu Xun. So he asked about Xu Xun's past patrols with great interest, and he also exclaimed some surprises from time to time. And more than one of them were enthusiastic about Ma Yongcheng. Wei Bin and Luo Xiang also made jokes from time to time, and there was a very happy atmosphere in the pavilion. Just when Ma Yongcheng gradually turned Pingbei Bo into Brother Xu and planned to further set up Xu Xun's attitude, someone suddenly shouted outside.
"Here's here!"
Luo Xiang was the first to turn his head and look around the corner. He saw that there were indeed a group of thirty or forty riders galloping along the official road like lightning. The beginning was two people wearing red cloaks. It was guessed that the main owner was the first to take two steps to get out of the pavilion in front of Xu Xun. When the group gradually slowed down, the two people rode their horses in front of him and jumped off the horse. It was indeed Zhang Yong and Miao Kui. At this moment, he looked at the two dusty big trousers, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
After fighting in the palace, how could he compare his military merits with just a little power? I heard that Zhang Yong came back this time and that military merit was very likely to earn two titles for the Zhang family, but it was much better than they had endured hard in the capital! Of course, he had never had the idea of fighting on the battlefield, but if he lost a bet, he would have lost his life!
"Oh, so many people are coming to pick us up today?" Zhang Yong and Xu Xun called each other brothers and brothers and hugged each other, and then they looked at Miao Kui and Xu Xun and greeted him with a smile. Then they seemed to have just seen Luo Xiang and Wei Bin and Ma Yongcheng beside him, and said with a smile, "Why are Old Ma and Old Wei Lao Luo so free today? They are going to do this for us?"
In front of Zhang Yong, Ma Yongcheng could not say anything like being free. He smiled and said, "Everyone ate in one pot. At present, Lao Gao has been ill since the beginning of the year and is indifferent. Lao Qiu has gone to Nanjing again. Seeing that one less a year is missing, it is rare to get together. How can we not come?"
"Oh, Lao Qiu went to Nanjing?"
Gao Feng was seventy and eighty, and it was not surprising that he kicked his feet at once, but Qiu Juli Jing was just happening recently. Zhang Yong was shocked. Seeing Xu Xun nodding slightly, he realized that this was not Ma Yongcheng's lie to him in vain. Therefore, after raising his eyebrows, he treated it as if he had forgotten the topic, and smiled and talked to Xu Xun about the current scene of the three towns in Shaanxi. Seeing that Zhang Yong did not respond, he could not even get into his mouth, so he had to wait patiently. Until he looked around in the crowd, and finally found that there seemed to be a person he was a little familiar with, he immediately asked, "Hey, why didn't you see Chen Xiong?"
Miao Kui was wondering why Qiu Jue suddenly went to Nanjing, and immediately replied disrespectfully: "Old Chen stayed in Ningxia."
However, Xu Xun smiled and added another sentence: "Ningxia Anhua King rebelled, and the court agreed that the former Ningxia general Jiang Han was dismissed from office and returned to Beijing to investigate. Now the court is promoting a new candidate, Chen Xiong ranked first. If there is no accident, his term will probably be confirmed."
Luo Xiang had nothing to say, but he really didn't expect that Chen Xiong would go out of Beijing to run errands, and then he turned into the general of Ningxia. Compared to looking at other people's faces in the capital, he certainly knew very well what it meant to be a siege. Sure enough, when he looked at Ma Yongcheng and Wei Bin, he suddenly found that their faces were full of shock.
Xu Xun seemed to have not seen the expressions of these three guys who suddenly stopped talking. He said to Zhang Yong with a smile: "This time we left Beijing, we originally thought we were walking along the wall and taking a look. Who knew that we had encountered so many unexpected things. However, to put the rebellion of King Anhua, Lao Zhang, you are the first to be the master of yours. The emperor has already agreed to give you two brothers a title."
"That's thanks to your early lead, and there was a strong woman who killed Zhu Zhili, otherwise I would have just accidentally pulled out some of my fellow disciples." Zhang Yong's relationship with Miao Kui is still good now. But when he thought that he could pass Miao Kui and his family had a title, he couldn't help but be proud, but then he looked at Xu Xun with interest and said, "What about you? Is the matter of the court's proposal to be awarded a title?"
"Not yet. I've been clamoring for several days, I'm impatient to care!"
Miao Kui then smiled and said, "Look at this kid, others may not be able to earn the next title for the battle for the rest of their lives, but he is so indifferent! But if I were at this age, he would have the confidence to live at least fifty or sixty years. Only this age is enough to endure a lot of people to death!"
Xu Xun was immediately angry: "Lao Miao. Are you so cold, are you?"
Seeing that there were a few people talking and laughing as if no one was around, although Ma Yongcheng and others were a little unhappy. But today they had to come, so they could only bite the bullet and say a few words from the side. When the group got on the horse and prepared to enter the city, Luo Xiang saw such a loophole and said, "It's almost noon now. The three of us prepared a banquet in Fuqing Tower in Xisi Pailou to welcome Eunuch Miao and Lao Zhang. How about going together?"
"It's better not to be busy..."
Zhang Yongyuan had something to say to Xu Xun, and he had only said halfway through his words. Xu Xun next to him smiled and took over the sentence: "Since that's the case, then I, an uninvited guest, will go and have a meal together!"
You know, the news that Zhang Yong came back today was originally something he deliberately released to these three guys and Liu Jin a few days earlier!
"What are you saying about Brother Xu? You are willing to enjoy the glory. We are not happy yet!" Ma Yongcheng saw that Zhang Yong seemed unwilling to start, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. But now that Xu Xun agreed, he could only nodded when he saw Zhang Yong, while Miao Kui looked indifferent. He knew that the first step had been successful this time, so he immediately turned to Wei Bin with a smile. Until the former took the lead and galloped out. It was thought that he had made arrangements for Fuqing Tower, so he simply fell behind and walked side by side with Luo Xiang.
"If I had known that Lao Zhang would be so glorious now, I think we should have used more efforts to Xu Xun!"
Hearing Ma Yongcheng say this, Luo Xiang sighed and said, "Don't mention it. We were all ok with each other before, and we were in danger. Who knew that he could have such ability at a young age? When the emperor settled down, Liu Jian and Xie Qian fell one by one, and they all wanted to get power. Have you ever thought that there would be internal strife between us?"
Yes, if I had known today, why should I be the first one?
After entering the city, the group came straight from Fuchengmen Street to Fuqing Tower west of Xisi Pailou. Wei Bin and the shopkeeper who were waiting there came out together. There was no customer in the huge three-story shop again, and it was obviously a guest. When everyone arrived at the third floor, there were all kinds of cold dishes with colors, fragrance and delicious flavor on the table, all of which were high-legged Xuande kiln white porcelain plates with a diameter of about five inches. There were both fresh fruit candied fruits, candied goose palm, pickled beef tripe sauce and tofu and other snacks. As soon as everyone sat down, three or four young men immediately brought small Ru kiln teacups with tea trays. Xu Xun didn't react much when he was not in the tea ceremony, and Miao Kui lifted the lid and sniffed it gently, and then looked carefully, his eyes lit up.
"It turned out to be a Mingqian Longjing with one flag and one shot? Even if Fuqinglou is barely famous in the capital, such treasures should not be available, right?"
"Eunuch Miao has a good vision!" Wei Bin just came up from the stairs at this time, but he smiled, "It was someone from the south who came up to me before. I have been more filial to me today. Today I met someone with a discerning tea. I can't tell whether it's good or bad. If Eunuch Miao likes it, I will give it to you all in my mind!"
"Haha, why are you so embarrassed?"
Having said that, Miao Kui knew how difficult it was to get some good things from these old people from Zhu Houzhao's East Palace, so he pretended to be humble and accepted it with a smile. Zhang Yong exchanged a look with Xu Xun knowingly, but only savored the quality of the wine and food, without mentioning anything else. Until a series of hot dishes with all colors, fragrance and deliciousness came up from the bottom, Wei Bin signaled the two small firemen he brought to guard the stairs to prepare for the dishes, and he sat down with him. After exchanging a look with Luo Xiang and Ma Yongcheng, he was the first to speak, who was always impatient.
"Although we don't have much date, Lao Zhang, you are not an outsider. I will open the skylight and say something bright. Lao Qiu was kicked out of the capital. It's only two days before. He instigated his grandson, who was incompetent to play and sing and making trouble next to Ye Guang's house, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and the person involved, never held him back. However, Lao Liu directly sued the emperor and sent someone to Nanjing as a garrison eunuch. This is too much! No matter what, everyone used to be a person who was in trouble in the East Palace. Now he should share his blessings, and he should not tolerate others like this!"
Since Wei Bin has become famous, Ma Yongcheng and Luo Xiang are naturally following closely. During the days when Xu Xun and others were not in the capital, many of the decrees that Liu Jin had been voluntarily promoted were exposed one by one by one. When he complained about Qiu Ju before, the shortcomings and crimes he had participated in Qiu Ju were also repeated in their original form. Listening to these, Xu Xun felt like a mirror in his heart. Liu Jin did something when he was not in those days. These three people could find out as long as they were careful, but it was not so easy for them to inquire about how Liu Jin brought Qiu Ju down. Liu Jin would never keep an eye-catching person to listen to his case for the lawsuit, that is, Ruisheng would be left behind because of Zhu Houzhao's love and trust, and of course the little guy had no obligation to keep Liu Jin secret.
So, while patiently listening to the complaints and complaints of the three of them one by one, and half-true and half-false, he never said anything, nor said he would refuse to agree or refuse. Until the three of them were a little discouraged, he said with a smile: "Old Wei said the words just now, share blessings and suffer difficulties. The most difficult days have passed, but now they cannot share wealth and honor. Lao Qiu and I can't talk about personal grudges. If it weren't for his grandson's intentional teasing me, I wouldn't care about this matter. The well water will not break the river..."
Just when he was concerned about his side and just didn't mention the real drama, there was a sudden sound of footsteps on the stairs, followed by the voice of a personal guard: "Sir, Eunuch Gu is here!"
With Gu Dayong's lamp building, his plump body crunched the stairs. When he appeared at the entrance of the stairs, he said with a smile: "I am the first person to come to report the good news! Brother Xu, I will call you the Marquis in the future!"
