The prefect of Xi'an is a Jinshi who has been orthodox for ten years. His name is Sun Bing, and he is similar in age to Xu Youzhen.
He thought that he and Xu Youzhen should have a lot of common topics. After the work was completed, Sun Bing originally wanted to take Xu Youzhen to have a good meal and drink, and then take Xu Youzhen to have some fun and meet the ministers around His Majesty the Emperor. For local officials It is said that it is an opportunity that can only be encountered but cannot be sought.
However, Xu Youzhen did not give Sun Bing a chance, and did not even attend the normal dinner. She left dozens of Xi'an officials in the prefect's Yamen and returned to the official post directly.
The local officials headed by Sun Bing were very unhappy. Is this a clear disdain for us local officials?
On the road to becoming an official, adult beauty is also a strategy. If Xu Youzhen does this, he is self-diminishing his reputation in the hearts of local officials. Xu Youzhen would never have done this before.
Zhao Cong, who had been following Xu Youzhen from one hundred Jinyiwei households, was able to protect himself during the inventory operation that started at the end of the eleventh year of Chenghua, and then accumulated to one thousand Jinyiwei households. However, although he wore the jade badge of Jinyiwei Qianhu and enjoyed its treatment, he could not His actual status has not changed much.
When Xu Youzhen went out, Zhao Cong still took his brothers to protect him.
Looking at the sad look on Mr. Xu's face along the way, Zhao Cong also thought of some ways, such as working on Mr. Xu's favorite bed. He found many women who were exposed outside and came to serve Xu Youzhen.
However, Xu Youzhen refused them all, and later scolded Zhao Cong.
This made Zhao Cong very puzzled, how could this fateful relationship, which had carried a gun together, suddenly become what it is today.
Xu Youzhen did not bring Sister Park Ningmei with her when she came out this time. She really had a pure heart and few desires. When Zhao Cong disturbed his Taoist mind, Xu Youzhen gave him a severe reprimand and warned Zhao Cong: "I am the official." At that time, he was a great scholar, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and an assistant minister of the cabinet. He was the closest minister to His Majesty the Emperor. How could he be like those country folk who only knew how to enjoy themselves in bed and indulge in debauchery? If he still hires prostitutes for himself next time, he would definitely I want to inform Commander Zhu that you will be charged with seducing a superior officer."
Because Xu Youzhen was very serious when she spoke, Zhao Cong was really scared and no longer thought about finding a woman for Xu Youzhen to relieve his boredom.
Among the official posts.
Xu Youzhen had just laid down, feeling depressed when she heard a knock on the door, and then Zhao Cong's voice came over: "Censor of Xudu, Censor of Xudu, are you asleep? Are you asleep?" ?”
When Xu Youzhen heard Zhao Cong's voice, she was furious. She sat up and said, "Didn't I tell you clearly a few days ago that I should be pure in heart and abstain from any kind of right and wrong during this trip? Why are you here again?" ”
After Zhao Cong outside the door heard Xu Youzhen's words, he paused for a moment, and then said: "Censor of Xudu, it's not what you think. We are commanding colleagues, and the master asked for an audience, and he came from the capital."
After hearing Zhao Cong's words, Xu Youzhen's heart skipped a beat. Why did Menda from Jin Yiwei come to Xi'an Mansion? He shouldn't have come here specifically for himself. His Majesty has asked me to handle important matters.
At that moment, Xu Youzhen got up and got dressed very quickly. Then he opened the door and looked at Zhao Cong: "Where is he?"
"downstairs."
"Several people."
"The two followers are outside the inn. Only Master Menda is waiting for the censor of Xudu below. I don't know exactly how many Jin Yiwei came to the capital." Zhao Cong quickly replied.
After hearing this, Xu Youzhen thought for a while and said, "When I discuss things with Menda later, you can go out and talk to the two attendants, and make some insinuations to see how many Jin Yiwei Menda has brought."
After hearing this, Zhao Cong looked troubled. Although Xu Du Yushi was kind to their brothers, they were still Jin Yiwei after all. It was a bit difficult for him to deal with such a plot against his own people.
Xu Youzhen also understood Zhao Cong's dilemma, and smiled and said softly: "Zhao Qianhu, we are going to Beijing on business now. Your Majesty asked you to be my subordinates. Firstly, to protect me. Secondly, right? You also want to inquire about information for me. Although you are both members of Jinyiwei, the tasks you perform are different. If your errand is done, I will give you a petition to take credit. His errand is done well. Well, you don’t get the credit, what’s more, I just want to know how many Jin Yiwei are here, so it doesn’t disturb your discipline.”
Looking at the smile on Xu Youzhen's face, Zhao Cong was idle for a while, and finally sighed and said: "Xu Du Censor, I understand, but I only ask about the number of Jin Yiwei, and will not ask about anything else."
Xu Youzhen watched Zhao Cong agree to herself, smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, the purpose of coming, this Menda will make it clear to me. I just need to know how many people are coming." Xu Youzhen said After finishing, he walked forward.
After going downstairs, Xu Youzhen saw a young man in casual clothes sitting in the lobby, drinking tea alone. Menda was just in his early thirties, and it was not an exaggeration to call him a young man.
Xu Youzhen didn't know much about Menda, but after Menda took over Liu Tong's power, he had a very comprehensive understanding of Xu Youzhen.
There are people who are focused on within the Jinyiwei. Most of them are generals from the frontiers. The only civilian official is Xu Youzhen.
Eight years after Chenghua, Xu Youzhen was listed as a key target. After that, Xu Youzhen's every move was observed and recorded by spies. Documents within Jinyiwei detailed all Xu Youzhen's actions in implementing the new tax system in Jiangnan and other places. What he said, what he ate, and the women he played with were all clear.
"I know you from the same family. You are indeed young and promising."
After Menda heard Xu Youzhen's voice, he stood up quickly, and then looked at Xu Youzhen who was going down the stairs. A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he walked up quickly, stood next to the stairs, and half-bowed: "Get off. The official has met the censor of Xudu."
Seeing Menda lowering his status like this, Xu Youzhen immediately felt a little wary in her heart. Although he was a high official in the imperial court, the Jin Yiwei were the guards around His Majesty the Emperor. Logically speaking, he only had to bow his hands and bow politely, and did not have to look like someone. Now he lowers his status and elevates Xu Youzhen.
Everything that goes wrong is a monster.
After Xu Youzhen went downstairs, she said with a smile on her face, "Comrade, please don't be so polite. Please sit down, please sit down."
"The censor of Xudu invites you first," Menda said quickly.
After Xu Youzhen heard this, she stopped being polite. She glanced at Zhao Cong behind her, then walked to the chair and sat down.
After Xu Youzhen sat down, she called Menda to sit down.
At this time, Menda did not refuse and sat down.
"My fellow disciple is young and promising. Now he has become a commanding fellow at this age. He has returned from Pyongyang. He will definitely have great potential in the future and his future is limitless."
"No way, Xu Du Yushi has received the award. This is all a matter of luck to be valued by His Majesty. I dare not say that he has great potential or future. If His Majesty is using it smoothly, he will continue to do errands. If one day His Majesty is not using it smoothly. , the lower officials have no choice but to abdicate and make way for others."
As soon as the two met, they started to talk to each other about business.
After Xu Youzhen listened to Menda's words, he nodded and said, "I have seen a lot of officials who are officials in Beijing. This is the first time I have seen someone as humble as Men Tongzhi. But thinking about it, the more capable you are, the more capable you are." The less arrogant people are, the more they come to know that they are also people with great abilities. "
"The censor of Xudu has given me a reward, but the lower official can't bear it." Menda said with fear.
At this time, Xu Youzhen was no longer willing to follow Menda's rainbow fart, her face changed, she looked at Menda, and said softly: "I don't know why my colleague Zhi came to visit late at night..."
