Liu Xin had guessed what the famous Jinyiwei Nanzhen Fusi commander Dai De'an would look like. He might be burly and brave, he might be strong and sharp-eyed, or he might be Gu Panzixiong with a majestic temperament, but... It will definitely not be like this.
Wearing a Confucian robe, with green silk tied up on his head, with loose white hair and a long pure white beard, he looked like an old scholar.
This...isn't this a certain great scholar?
How could he be Mi Yusong's confidant, the most powerful figure in Jin Yiwei, the famous Dai De'an!
"Liu Qianhu seems to be confused, why a fellow commander of the Jinyiwei can be such an old Confucian scholar?" Dai De'an said with a smile, but he did not delay in writing on a piece of rice paper with a pen and ink. A few big words.
Liu Xin was slightly startled, but then he heard Dai De'an put away his pen and said with a smile:
"Jinyiwei is a position, and it has to be filled by someone. Warriors are also human beings, and literati are human beings too. You understand."
Liu Xin nodded, and then asked his doubts about how he became the deputy Qianhu.
Dai De'an picked up a square seal with his name engraved on it. He did not touch the sealing mud, but put it to his mouth. He breathed hard and put it up. Then he held up the seal and said to Liu Xin:
"Because for this next task, your status as a Baihu is not useful. As long as you complete the task, your merits will be enough for you to be promoted to Deputy Qianhu. In this case, it doesn't matter when this position will be given to you."
After saying that, Dai De'an pressed the seal in his hand heavily on the rice paper.
After doing all this, Dai De'an motioned Liu Xin to sit aside.
Liu Xin was not pretentious and sat down gracefully.
"I know something about your affairs. I received the note from the Admiral yesterday. Do you know what my first reaction was?" Dai De'an's room was filled with the fragrance of ink, which gave him a different kind of soothing feeling. effect.
Some uneasiness quickly disappeared in Liu Xin's heart, and Dai De'an spoke softly, without any aggressiveness.
Liu Xin thought for a while and said seriously: "I don't know."
Dai De'an was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you don't know, why do you have to think about it?"
Liu Xin said bluntly: "It's because I don't know that I have to think about it. It's because I think about it that I realize that I don't know."
Liu Xin has always been reserved in the face of such an old scholar, probably because of the psychological shadow he received from his teacher's stick education when he was a boy.
"Hahaha, interesting." Dai De'an said with a smile: "This is consistent with my first impression of you. I just think you are interesting! And when I received the note from the Admiral, my first reaction was, I picked it up Treasure!"
! ! !
Liu Xin was suddenly inexplicably shocked. He always felt that this Jin Yiwei commander, who was more like a Confucian scholar, had something in his words.
Liu Xin unconsciously straightened his back and became vigilant subconsciously.
Dai De'an's eyes narrowed, and when he smiled, he couldn't even see his eyes, but Liu Xin's subtle movements fell into his eyes, causing his eyes to wrinkle even more closely.
"Liu Qianhu, let's get down to business." Dai De'an also straightened up and said:
"The Admiral asked you to come to Nanzhen Fusi because he had something to do. You were investigating the Royal Horse Supervisor case before, which involved the Hanzhong Military Racecourse. Although Qi Ji, a big black hand, was uncovered, But the Admiral decided not to alert the snake for the time being, because Yuan Dongxiang's goal is relatively large, so he ordered you to go to Hanzhong. When you went to Hanzhong, you were obviously to inspect a quasi-Qianhu newly proposed by Jinyiwei, but secretly you were to enter the military horse farm. By then. You will get a waist badge representing Dongchang, and with it, you can freely enter and leave the Hanzhong Army Racecourse."
Seeing Liu Xin frowning, Dai De'an continued to add:
"My Lord Admiral has already considered the arrangements for this journey. You will set off secretly first and rush to the Hanzhong Army Racecourse. You will be able to get everything you need by using your Dongchang waist card along the way. At the same time, there will be a team of chariots. Set out for Hanzhong in the name of Nanzhen Fusi, because the prospective Qianhu who is to be inspected is now working in Hanzhong. Speaking of this, you should know about this matter. Shao Shiwang, a Qianhu in the outer city, was assassinated by his enemies. The position was vacant, and there was someone Operate and bring this person up."
Liu Xin nodded. He didn't expect that after a Qianhu died, someone would take over so quickly.
Dai De'an continued: "There is a time difference of about fifteen days between you and the team from Nanzhen Fusi that will set off later. This time should be enough for you to investigate clearly. There will be people inside the military horse farm to help you."
Liu Xin smiled bitterly: "Admiral, you really think highly of me."
Dai De'an suddenly looked solemn and said, "Admiral, your vision is always accurate."
After a moment of pause, Dai De'an's face softened: "The Admiral said that he is not forcing you to do this, but he believes that you will make the right choice."
You are really inseparable, Lord Admiral. Have you forgotten that you are a Jin Yiwei? Your superior should be Wang Zhongjie, the commander of the Jin Yiwei!
Liu Xin knew that he should no longer hesitate at this time, so he said loudly: "My humble position will definitely live up to the admiral's love."
Dai De'an waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be so strict, as long as things are done well. By the way, because this task is not easy, you can put forward some of your own needs, and I can help with them within a reasonable range. You can do it."
Liu Xin's eyes flashed and he looked up at Dai De'an, who looked at him with a smile and a kind face.
"I do have a merciless request."
"But it doesn't matter!"
Liu Xin then stated his needs. To Liu Xin's expectation, Dai De'an readily agreed to Liu Xin's needs.
"I thought it was an unkind invitation. This kind of thing is normal. Don't worry, it's a trivial matter!"
After talking about the details of the mission for a while, Liu Xin stood up and left after everything was completed. He prepared to leave the next day, and he also had important things to do now.
Dai De'an stopped him, called a school captain, and gave some instructions. Then he walked to his desk, picked up the handwriting he just wrote, and handed it to Liu Xinda:
"These few words are given to you. May you use your life well. The Admiral now knows your name. As long as you work hard and be a good person, you will get what you want."
Liu Xin looked at the large characters on the paper that were still wet with ink:
Knowledge comes from the original mind, and seeing comes from the original nature.
——
When Liu Xin came to the Qianhu Office in Inner East City with Dai De'an's order, he found that all the captains looked at him strangely, but he didn't care. Because he knows the psychology of these people, they are just thinking, why is this person back again, is he here to show off.
However, despite all the thoughts in his mind, no one stepped forward to stop him.
Liu Xin came to Liu Licheng's duty room by a familiar route, just as Cheng Guotao came out. The moment he saw Liu Xin, Cheng Guotao frowned deeply, with surprise on his face.
But the next moment, Cheng Guotao returned to his smiling face.
"Liu Baihu, why are you back, but you want to see Liu Qianhu if you have something to do?"
Liu Xin looked at Cheng Guotao's wrinkled face and wanted to tease him for no reason, so he said:
"I am no longer a hundred households!"
"ah!"
Cheng Guotao was stunned for a moment, then countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
This guy is no longer a hundred households. Could it be that on the first day of reporting, he pissed off the superior officer of Nanzhen Fusi and dismissed him directly?
Or is it that Dongchang was unloading mills and killing donkeys, playing a trick of peach replacing Li Zong, pretending to promote Liu Xin to an official position, but actually deposing him, and then Liu Xin's part of the credit can be attributed to Dongchang. After all, if Liu Xin is deposed directly, the eldest brother will definitely not let go of Liu Xin's part of the credit.
Many thoughts came to him. When Liu Xin saw Cheng Guotao standing there, he chuckled and said, "I have been appointed as Deputy Qianhu. Remember to change my title in the future!"
One moment, my mind was full of distracting thoughts, and the next moment, my mind was empty.
Cheng Guotao felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his mind went blank. He subconsciously stretched out his hand and made two ah-ah sounds in his mouth.
However, Liu Xin had already sidestepped Cheng Guotao and walked into the check-in room.
A moment later, Cheng Guotao suddenly woke up. His pea eyes were so wide open for the first time in his life. He suddenly turned around, his face full of confusion, and looked at Liu Xin's back. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
This is... too fast!
It has only been a dozen days since Liu Xin joined Jinyiwei. What kind of powerful person has this kid clung to?
No wonder Cheng Guotao thought this way, Liu Xin's promotion speed was really weird. You must know that with the background of the disciples of Emperor Wu City and the support of those in high positions in the imperial court, Liu Licheng did not directly serve as a Qianhu, but served as a Hundred Household for three years. After there was a vacancy, he was promoted to Qianhu. household.
How can Liu Xin be so virtuous?
But the next moment, Cheng Guotao thought of one person, the young man who was about to become a thousand households in the outer city.
"Straight bitches! These damn dignitaries!"
Cursing in a low voice, Cheng Guotao could no longer keep the smile on his face and left quickly and bitterly.
Now Liu Xin seems to have awakened the ability to make people hate him.
Cheng Guotao was like this, and so was Liu Licheng.
After Liu Xin showed Liu Licheng the promotion document signed by Dai De'an and another transfer order, the latter inevitably showed anger, but it was difficult for him to get angry in front of Liu Xin.
"All the 180 people from the Wenxuanfang Hundred Household Office were transferred to Nanzhen Fusi, and the missing personnel from the Inner East City Thousand Household Office will be replenished on their own..."
Liu Licheng gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Baihu... no... Liu Qianhu, what does this mean?"
Liu Xin showed a surprised look and said: "Master Liu, don't you understand? I have just been promoted to Deputy Qianhu of Nanzhen Fusi, and I am short of people. We cooperate well with our colleagues from Wenxuanfang, so I applied to transfer them to me." Under his command."
The veins on Liu Licheng's forehead were pulsing. He was planning to give Wenxuanfang Hundred Households a major overhaul, but that didn't mean he was planning to replace the entire Wenxuanfang Hundreds' Office. That would be too troublesome and would cause him to be short of major generals for the next period of time.
The most important thing, and what irritates Liu Licheng the most, is that he just said that if Liu Xin gets promoted in the future, it may cause him some trouble. Cheng Guotao also comforted him that when Liu Xin rises, he will also have Qin Guogong's adopted son to help him, so who is afraid of whom?
But who would have thought that just two hours after Liu Xin left, the latter would come and slap him in the face. And it's bang bang bang bang... it lasts for a long time.
It is conceivable that when Liu Xin takes away the entire Wenxuanfang Hundred Households, Liu Licheng will become a shame within the entire Jinyiwei.
But there was nothing he could do.
Because Jinyiwei is a special organization, the commander and his fellow commanders have great decision-making power. Except for the appointment of Qianhu, which must be reported to His Majesty the Emperor for review, other official positions are decided by the three members of Jinyiwei themselves.
In the past, the two commanders had to seek approval from the commander for personnel appointments, but now the commander Wang Zhongjie has completely delegated power. North Town Fusi is Kou Gang's world, let alone South Town Fusi. Even if If Wang Zhongjie refuses to delegate power, it will not be his turn to take charge of Nanzhen Fusi.
That's all. The key point is that the North and South Zhenfu Divisions both belong to the Jinyiwei. The personnel transfers between the two Zhenfu Divisions, such as the lower-level captains and flag officers, are even more casual.
It's just that no one looked down on anyone before, so naturally they wouldn't transfer minor officials.
No one could have imagined that an alien like Liu Xin would appear one day.
Even if you leave alone, you have to take all your subordinates with you.
This is a slap in the face, a slap in the face of Liu Licheng!
Liu Licheng only had this idea now. He never thought that taking away all the people from Wenxuanfang was actually due to his coercion to some extent.
If it weren't for Liu Licheng's obvious intention to clean up Wenxuanfang House, Liu Xin wouldn't have transferred people properly.
After all, not everyone is willing to be transferred. Some people may have deep connections in Beizhen Fusi. Even if they are removed by Liu Licheng, they can still work in other offices. Take Guo Yong for example, he is an old man from Jinyiwei, and his relationship is very tough. If he can't stay here, other places will naturally accept him.
But Liu Xin couldn't ask everyone what they thought one by one. That would be too troublesome, so he might as well pack it up and take it away.
The suffocated Liu Licheng wanted to get angry, but he still resisted signing the paperwork. Liu Xin clasped his fists and said goodbye, not even bothering to say more than one sentence.
Liu Xin left Liu Licheng's duty room, and what followed was the sound of something smashing the table in half in the room behind him.
The corner of Liu Xin's mouth raised, and he felt extremely relieved. The haze that had been lingering in his heart these days was completely dissipated.
——
The hundreds of households in Wenxuanfang were in a state of depression.
The captains were feeling weak as they walked around. Several small flag officers and the chief flag officer also stayed in their duty rooms, sighing.
"Lao Guo, do you think Liu Qianhu will send someone to us, or we may not be able to wait until the new Baihu takes office?" Ding Mingfu said with a dejected look.
"Old Ding, you guys may still meet the new Baihu, but I may be in danger. I'm still two years away from the age of removing my armor, so you haven't removed me quickly this time. It's a pity that my son, I have been practicing in the army for five or six years, and I am just waiting to take my place." Liu Fu is the most honest and the oldest of the four general banners. When he said this, the sadness on his face was visible to the naked eye, and even the corners of his eyes could There were also tears of unwillingness slowly gathering.
"Old Liu, don't be like this. A man bleeds without crying!" Jiang Shixi is the burliest among the four and has the highest cultivation. He once served in the border army and was transferred back as a guard after I removed my armor. But to be honest, he doesn't like Jin Yiwei. He prefers the hard days in the frontier army. Although the days are hard, he is happy in his heart.
"Old Liu is getting older and has to think more about his children. You are a single man and you won't understand!" Ding Mingfu sighed. He was not the breadwinner of the family. If he was really removed from his position, although his son was still qualified to be a Personal guard, but there is no one on duty to help him, who knows when he will be able to take his turn.
When the pro-army was first established, it required the father to retire and the son to succeed, which was regarded as a hereditary system. But when you actually operate it, you will find that if A has two sons, both sons are eligible to inherit the rights of the pro-army. After A abdicates, a son will take over. At this time, if the other pro-army B has no heirs, then after he abdicates and one becomes available, A's other son can take over.
Of course, it may also happen that both A and B have two or more heirs. Then these extra people can only be regarded as having the right to inherit the army, but they have no actual duties.
Later, gradually, some meritorious people were specially incorporated into the pro-army, such as some noble children. There are fewer and fewer people holding this actual position, while more and more people have inheritance rights.
The final result is that each pro-army attaches great importance to his position and strives to abdicate voluntarily, and then let his heirs inherit it.
Otherwise, if you want to rely on your own children to fill the vacancies elsewhere, there is almost no such hope.
More wolves but less meat!
Ding Mingfu had two sons, one was a scholar and the other was a martial artist. One tries to take the imperial examination, and if he fails, he can join the Imperial Guard as a civil servant, while the other is waiting to take over his position.
Now all this may come to nothing.
"Lao Guo, please say something. The entire Baihu House is looking gloomy and gloomy right now. You are our backbone now. If you say something, everyone can feel more stable."
Hearing someone say this, Guo Yong just let out a sigh of relief. He is the eldest among the hundred households because his father is still there. Guo Yong's father was an old Jinyiwei, and he had reached a position in a hundred households by virtue of his seniority.
It's just that Guo Yong himself is not capable enough to inherit his father's position. But it does not affect his good connections in Jinyiwei. Even if he met the commander of the Jin Yiwei, he would be an equal, because he was older than the commander.
It may be because of this reason that Guo Yong has the calmest expression, but being calm on the face does not mean that he is the same on the inside.
People in Baihusuo were in shock, but he could do nothing.
"Hey!" Guo Yong wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a helpless sigh.
"What are you talking about!" A young voice came from the door of the duty room.
Guo Yong frowned, why is this young man so rude!
But the next moment, Guo Yong frowned, stood up and looked towards the door.
"Liu...Liu Baihu!"
After hearing Guo Yong's words, the other three generals also stood up and looked at Liu Xin who was standing at the door with a smile in surprise.
"Guys, what are you talking about? You sound so sad!"
"Liu Baihu, you...are you back?" Guo Yong asked with a hint of expectation.
Liu Xin shook his head, and Guo Yong was immediately disappointed and lowered his head silently.
"I'm here to take you away!"
As soon as these words came out, Guo Yong immediately raised his head and his neck made a clicking sound.
"Hiss~"
After listening to Liu Xin's story, Guo Yong pressed his neck. Just then, his neck almost dislocated. After receiving the transfer document from Ding Mingfu, he read the document again in disbelief. He didn't know what words to use to express it, and his thousands of words finally turned into a sigh.
"Liu Baihu, Nanzhen Fusi opened a new Baihu Office for us!" Liu Fu looked shocked. He never expected that Liu Xin could have such great energy.
But Liu Fu still underestimated Liu Xin. Liu Xin said with a smile: "It's not a hundred-household office, it's a thousand-household office!"
The four of them were shocked at the same time, with Liu Fu's mouth opening the widest.
Liu Xin smiled and said: "I have been promoted to Deputy Qianhu of Nanzhen Fusi. Dai Tongzhi asked me to organize the construction of a new Qianhu Office. Because I will leave the imperial capital and go to Hanzhong to perform a mission, you will go with me. These two days are a good time to get ready. By the time we come back, the new Qianhusuo Yamen should have been decorated."
Guo Yong looked at the happy expressions of the other three colleagues and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Liu Xin had only been here for more than ten days, and he was promoted to Deputy Qianhu. This meant that Liu Xin had already found a strong and strong man during his absence from the Hundred Household Office. thigh.
Come to think of it, it should be Dongchang.
No matter what, those anxious people in Baihusuo can rest assured.
Guo Yong's mood was the fastest to stabilize. He reacted and immediately said: "Master Qianhu, are we going to Hanzhong to perform a mission?"
Liu Xin nodded and looked at Guo Yong with some confusion, wondering why the latter asked this question.
Guo Yong said in a deep voice: "The place in Hanzhong is not easy to walk. I heard that there is a group of mountain bandits in Shaanxi that we pass along the way. They are quite powerful. The imperial court is already discussing the matter of an expedition. If we want to go, we may have to go around. Road, otherwise we are afraid of complications!"
Liu Xin smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sighed: "There will be a long road ahead!"
