Murong Zhao did not speak immediately, but took a sip of tea, and then said: "People say that I, Murong Zhao, am a rigid person, and I think you, Ji Liaofan, are even more rigid. In Jinyiwei for more than 20 years, there is no need to mention life and death. I have seen a lot of big things and small feelings. I believe you know better than me about the world. Sometimes it is difficult to weigh which end is lighter and which is heavier. But one thing is that it is easier to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree. What is this big tree? I believe you all know it. I just hope that if you encounter something in the future, you must ask more questions! Jin Yiwei always does things with reason and evidence, including orders from superiors and constitutional documents. None of them can be missing, otherwise, even if you have great power, All your efforts are in vain. You should learn from Master Liao on this point. Commander Mou once said that the people and things that Master Liao met were all kinds of strange, but he could handle them well. Why? That's it. He always puts Jin Yiwei's interests first, rather than focusing on himself. Sometimes, even I am not as good as him."
Ji Liaofan said hurriedly: "What Brother Murong said is that sometimes my younger brother is really single-minded and doesn't consider things thoroughly. In the future, when encountering problems, I must ask more brothers for advice!" After hearing this, Murong Zhao softened his tone and said: "Although we have different identities now, we both entered the family together and we are all brothers. What's more, we are still fellow villagers. In the future, when we retire and return home, we will still be together often."
Ji Liaofan nodded and said, "What Brother Murong said is that eighteen brothers have a deep love."
"Okay, I'm here because I have other things to say." Murong Zhao said with a smile: "Recently, many foreign princes have come to the capital to congratulate the new emperor on the winter solstice, either in person or in person. It is to send his children to Pan Heng in the capital. Less than a year after the death of the late emperor, these people did this, which really makes people speechless. For this reason, the emperor specially issued a decree that all the etiquette of congratulating the New Year this year will be cancelled, and all vassal princes outside Beijing will , each returned to his or her fiefdom to celebrate the New Year. Most of the vassal kings accepted the order and left, but one family refused to leave. "
Ji Liaofan asked hurriedly, "Which one?" "Prince Ning of Jiangxi!"
I know that Prince Ning was Zhu Quan, the sixteenth son of Emperor Taizu. After he helped Emperor Taizong seize the throne of Emperor Jianwen, he was placed in Nanchang, Jiangxi and continued to be the vassal king. He lived to be seventy-one years old. The six dynasties of Emperor Jianwen, Taizong, Renzong, Xuanzong and Yingzong were also considered to have died. The current King Ning is Zhu Chenhao, who succeeded to the throne during the Hongzhi period. He is in his thirties, but in terms of seniority, he is the uncle and grandfather of the current emperor.
Murong Zhao added: "Since the Yongle Year, vassal kings from all over the country are not allowed to be in Beijing without permission. Now Prince Ning's Mansion has sent his eldest son Zhu Gongchen to come to Beijing in April under the pretext of visiting the late emperor's condition and recommending Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain to donate medicine. . When the late emperor passed away, he proposed to keep vigil. Later, he used the reason of congratulating the new emperor on his enthronement and never left. The emperor did not care. Several elders felt that Ning Fan's long-term residence in Beijing was inconsistent with the "Da Ming Law". Therefore, Shangzhezi asked the emperor to issue an edict to persuade Ning Fan to leave the capital. To this end, the emperor specially gave Prince Ning the fan presented by Prince Ning Zhu Quan back then, and asked them to leave the capital quickly and return to Nanchang to celebrate the New Year."
When Ji Liaofan heard this, he interjected: "Yesterday, I received the order from Duke Dongchangzhuang to ask Beizhen Fusi to send people to protect the safety of the vassal king when he comes to Beijing. I arranged for Xue Shen and Xue Baihu to do it today."
Murong Zhao smiled and said: "Is Xue Baihu willing to do such a thing? You have five Baihus under your command. You can send any of them, but you cannot send Xue Baihu. You understand the truth!"
Ji Liaofan blushed and said, "I think Xue Baihu is also related to him, so I sent him there, maybe we can build a relationship." It turned out that Ji Liaofan thought that Xue Shen was a relative of Emperor Zhengde, and how similar he was to the vassal princes. There is some connection and they just get along.
Murong Zhao shook his head and said: "You know Xue Baihu's temperament. Is this just a formality and asking him to serve those people? It's simply a joke. Send the flag officer to transfer Xue Baihu back quickly. , let someone else go, Zhang Ying can go. What to protect? Hurry and persuade those people to leave the capital."
Xue Shen has a cold nature, but we just think of him as arrogant. After Ji Liaofan heard this, he quickly agreed and went outside to make arrangements. Murong Zhao looked at me and Bao Xiaobai, and said slowly: "There is another matter, but it is from the experience department. Xiaobai, Commander Mou has retired from office. He should have enjoyed his old age, but someone wants to investigate him. Who this person is, I don't know for the time being. Mention. Many documents are in your hands, so you should know what to do!"
I thought about Ji Liaofan's arrangements for Liu Tong to take charge in the morning, and quickly said a few words. Murong Zhao looked stern and frowned: "What does this old Ji want to do? He didn't say anything and just arranged it privately." Bao Xiaobai said: "Sir, don't worry. I know what to do. That Liu Baihu hasn't come to me yet."
Murong Zhao nodded, looked out the window, and sighed: "I don't want to care about what happens to other people. Mou is just a commander, doing things openly and serving the public. If he is framed, it will never happen." Replied He turned around and said, "I'll leave this matter to Xiao Bai. Is there any news about your brother?"
When I heard the mention of Bao Song, I was surprised. Bao Xiaobai shook his head and said, "I haven't heard anything from him, and I don't know where he went." Murong Zhao looked at me if he was disappointed and said, "You are a very good person. What can I say?" If you don’t see it, then it’s gone?”
Seeing both of them looking sad, I couldn't help but want to tell the truth, but I couldn't, and my face felt hot. Fortunately, neither of them noticed it. Murong Zhao changed the topic again and asked me what happened this morning. I didn't dare to say anything about Liu He. I just said that I went to Liu's house. Just when I was about to take action, the flag officer arrived.
After hearing this, Murong Zhao's eyes flashed brightly and he said: "His family has been practicing medicine for generations, and his medical skills are said to be good. How could there be such a big mistake? Hey, things are unpredictable. You just picked it up and didn't do anything. Otherwise, there would be Many officials impeached you, saying that you violated the late emperor's will."
I stuck out my tongue and said, "I am also acting under orders. Why not? If you are impeached, it will be unjust."
Murong Zhao laughed and said: "You will have more things to do recently and be more flexible. It may not be a bad thing for young people to suffer!"
After saying that, he patted me on the back, patted Bao Xiaobai again, said he had other matters, and left Tingtao Pavilion. We hurriedly saw each other off. When we met Ji Liaofan at the door, he came in a hurry. Murong Zhao only said that he was If something happened, he left.
After seeing off Murong Zhao, Bao Xiaobai also said goodbye and returned to the Experience Department, but Ji Liaofan left me behind, sat down at Tingtao Pavilion, and asked in detail about today's arrest of Liu Tai. I thought I had been gone for such a long time, and it would not be good if I said I had no other career, so I said that after I arrived, Liu He moved out of Eunuch Xiao Jing, and I did not dare to violate Eunuch Xiao's face. After waiting for half an hour, the flag official When they arrive, I will bring them back.
Ji Liaofan laughed and said, "This guy actually moved out of Eunuch Xiao. He's quite brave." I almost didn't even mention him, but I just laughed and said, "I didn't see Liu Tai!" Ji Liaofan asked me again. Liu He didn't say anything. I said I wasn't familiar with him, so I didn't say a few words. I just drank tea and read medical books. Ji Liaofan nodded and said: "That guy is also a gangster from the capital. He makes some bad friends and runs rampant in the streets. We have always wanted to take care of it. Due to Liu Tai's face, he is better now. Let's find an opportunity to deal with it. Be us In this business, sometimes it is indeed hard work, and it is often tiring, thankless, and scolded. What Mr. Murong said is clear and logical, but the actual operation is not our business. He has forgotten himself. He was just like us at the beginning, but now I was promoted and kept a high profile." Maybe he felt that he had said too much, so he smiled at me again and said, "People gain experience only by doing it! Hey, since we don't let you control this matter, let's just listen to Mr. Murong. Yes, you have worked hard and led your people to take over Xue Baihu's place and take care of the affairs of Prince Ning's Mansion!"
