Although Menda said this, Xu Youzhen still knelt down and raised his hands.
Menda saw that he could not defeat Xu Youzhen, so he could only place the letter respectfully in Xu Youzhen's hands.
Then he hurriedly bent down and helped Xu Youzhen up. Xu Youzhen sat down again with the letter in both hands.
Menda hurriedly said: "Censor of Xudu, look at you, before the official has finished speaking, you knelt down. This official can't afford to admit it. I'll give you a few kowtows in return."
After hearing Menda's words, Xu Youzhen quickly waved her hand and refused: "I know this, I am kneeling to..."
But before Xu Youzhen finished speaking, she saw Menda kneeling on the ground, bang bang bang, three times in a row.
After kowtowing, Menda stood up quickly to prevent Xu Youzhen from getting up to help him again.
"My fellow disciples, why is this necessary?" Xu Youzhen frowned: "Although Your Majesty said you don't need to kneel to greet me, it is my own wish to kneel to welcome you. It may be inappropriate for you to kneel down with me."
Xu Youzhen was a little angry, and of course she was also afraid of Menda.
"Censor of Xudu, you are an important minister of the country and an elder of the lower official. It is appropriate to kneel at any time. It is your wish to kneel to His Majesty, but it is also the lower official's wish to kneel to you." Da said with a smile.
"Hahaha." Xu Youzhen laughed twice.
"It's getting late, so I won't disturb Xu Du Yushi's rest. I'll be in Xi'an these days. If I need help from me, I can send someone to Yuhua Tower on East Street to greet me. I'll take my leave." "
Xu Youzhen looked at Menda, smiled and nodded: "Then I won't send it away."
Menda bowed and saluted again, then turned around and walked out.
When Menda turned around, the smile on Xu Youzhen's face disappeared.
He hated Menda.
The Jin Yiwei who came down to do things were all superiors, and they all had a sense of arrogance.
What's more, the commander of Jin Yiwei, a third-grade official, saw that he shouldn't have lowered his status like this, but Menda lowered his status and even took the initiative to return the favor and kowtow. This was obviously to bring him closer to the relationship.
But Jin Yiwei was only responsible to His Majesty the Emperor. He knew this was taboo, but he still did it.
There is only one reason.
He wanted to climb higher.
Zhu Ji is not yet fifty years old, and he is Yu Qian's son-in-law. His Majesty the Emperor trusts Yu Qian, loves the house and the bird, and also trusts Zhu Ji very much. Menda can only wait for time to get Zhu Ji away before he can go further.
But if Menda formed a close relationship with Xu Youzhen, whom His Majesty the Emperor also valued.
You can use Xu Youzhen's weight in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor to fulfill your ambitions.
This is a man who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
Even in some aspects, he is very similar to Xu Youzhen.
But just because Xu Youzhen is such a person, it does not mean that he will like such people. He likes to use others, but it does not mean that he also likes to be used by others.
Although they only had this moment of contact, Xu Youzhen's guess about Menda was not wrong.
Menda also looked unhappy when he walked out of the official post. Xu Youzhen turned a blind eye to his overtures, which made Menda very dissatisfied.
Menda should have been satisfied from the position of Qianhu to become the current commander, but since he came back from North Korea, His Majesty the Emperor has given him a lot of things to do, and some things, as a commander Zhu Ji didn't even know.
Menda also lived up to His Majesty the Emperor's trust and handled everything without leakage. Because he was ruthless and unscrupulous, his overall business ability was much higher than that of Zhu Ji. Of course, Zhu Jianshen was also very good at using it and kept adding extra pressure to him. The burden also gave Menda other ideas.
Changes in the surrounding environment can also change oneself in a certain aspect. Menda took over the position of Qianhu from his father and worked for several years to become the head of Qianhu. Then the Jinyiwei system changed and he also achieved qualitative results. In Menda's view, his opportunity has arrived, so how can he not think of ways to take another step forward?
Menda believed that His Majesty the Emperor valued him and recognized his abilities, but because of Zhu Ji's invisible identity, that is, the relationship with Yu Qian's son-in-law, it was difficult for Zhu Ji to make room for him, so he thought of marrying Xu Youzhen Make good friends and exchange for Xu Youzhen's support, so that you may have some opportunities.
From Menda's point of view, he is not an official fanatic, nor is he greedy for power. He just wants to serve His Majesty well without any restrictions...
After Menda left the official post, he saw Zhao Cong bragging and spanking with the two men he had brought with him.
Walked up slowly.
The two subordinates saw Menda first and quickly bowed and saluted: "Sir Tongzhi."
Zhao Cong, who had his back turned to Menda, quickly turned around and saluted Menda: "Sir Tongzhi."
At this time, there was no trace of displeasure on Menda's face. He looked at Zhao Cong with a soft smile on his face.
It was a relaxed smile, but it made Zhao Cong's heart tremble.
Menda used to be in charge of punishment, targeting prisoners and of course his own people. Many of Zhao Cong's acquaintances died in Menda's hands.
"Zhao Qianhu, the censor of Xudu, is an important minister of the Ming Dynasty. You must protect him well."
Although Xu Youzhen didn't pay attention to Menda's overtures, Menda was unwilling to give up. He came twice if it didn't work once, and three times if it didn't work twice. He was also very polite to Zhao Cong, who had been following Xu Youzhen.
"Yes, Lord Tongzhi."
Menda nodded, patted Zhao Cong on the shoulder, and left with his two men.
"Best regards, Sir Tongzhi."
After Menda walked away, Zhao Cong sighed slowly, then turned and walked into the official post.
Xu Du Yushi was still sitting in his chair, meditating, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhao Cong walked to Xu Youzhen and said softly: "Censor of Xudu, they have more than thirty people here."
After Xu Youzhen heard Zhao Cong's voice, she calmed down and turned to look at Zhao Cong: "Have you known this Menda before?"
"We know each other. I used to be in charge of punishments, and he was very famous among our Jinyi Guards..."
"Is it a good reputation or a bad reputation?" Xu Youzhen said.
Zhao Cong's expression changed a bit. He was slandering and talking about commanding Tongzhi behind his back. This was a big taboo...
Xu Youzhen was so smart. When she saw Zhao Cong's troubled expression, she knew in her heart that if he had a good reputation, how could Zhao Cong be in trouble.
"I am happy now. I can look for your connections. When I return to Beijing, I will give you the money."
After Zhao Cong listened to Xu Youzhen's words, he was stunned for a moment. Although it felt like that kind of connection, considering the training he had received, it was safest to ask.
"What kind of connections and money, please tell me clearly to the official, the censor of Xudu, otherwise the official will be afraid and misunderstand the meaning of the censor of Xudu, and make some arrangements that the censor of Xudu will not be happy with."
Xu Youzhen snorted coldly: "You still hold grudges, that's what you think. Go ahead and bring them to see me in half an hour. Make a good selection. Don't be afraid of spending money. The brothers outside will also make arrangements. It’s not easy in the middle of winter either.”
Zhao Cong smiled and nodded: "Yes, the censor of Xudu." After saying that, Zhao Cong hurriedly walked outside. After arriving outside the official post, he told the brothers at the door to cheer up for good things. .
Zhao Cong is a Jinyiwei, but he is at best a middle-lower income earner in Beijing. Xu Youzhen spends a lot of money. From time to time, he goes to find some temptations for Xu Youzhen, because once Xu Youzhen finds one, he will not treat the Jinyiwei brothers who escort him badly. You can find one.
And the most important thing is that what Zhao Cong found for Xu Youzhen was very expensive, five taels of silver a night. In this industry, expensiveness represents beauty, and the happiness expenses of the Jinyiwei brothers could not be spent on five taels of silver for ten people. After the Xudu censor finished his work, Zhao Cong could also wash the hot pot.
Anyway, it was a night, and the censor of Xudu was busy with official duties. After finishing the work, he asked people to leave. Zhao Cong was guarding outside. Once the people left the room of the censor of Xudu, he cut off his beard and said with a smile: "Are you interested in adding one?" bell."
