"Hey, why are you so young?" Zuo Maodi couldn't help but be surprised after seeing clearly.
After hearing this, Du Yinxi nodded and said, "It's a bit unbelievable that the person who caused such a big disturbance in the court is so young!"
The two of them are already considered one of the youngest officials in the court, and are already in their forties.
However, Duke Xing was high above the temple, and he did not inherit the influence of his ancestors. He only obtained the title of Duke. In their opinion, whether he was loyal or traitorous, he might be an older man with experience.
However, based on their visual inspection, Duke Xing Guo was probably not over thirty years old!
This person seems to be incomparable to others!
Even the younger Yan Yingyuan was also very surprised. But he didn't have that many thoughts, just envy. To be the Duke of the country at such a young age is really beyond the reach of ordinary people!
As the three of them thought this way, they stared curiously at the approaching Jin Yiwei team. They discovered that there seemed to be many people detained in the team. Could it be that those people were all members of Cheng Guogong's lineage and had just been raided?
Remembering that even Duke Chengguo was confiscated by Duke Xingguo, how much energy does this have to move the descendants of the famous general Jingnan?
Thinking of this, the three of them were surprised again.
At the same time, Zhang Mingwei also saw three people waiting outside the palace gate. Judging from their dusty appearance, they seemed to have come from other places, so they took some precautions.
This man is tall and has long arms. He must be a good soldier in the army, right?
Hey, judging from his attire, he seems to be a lowly official? But it seems like they are waiting for the emperor to summon them?
Thinking of this, Zhang Mingwei suddenly thought of someone.
At this time, he was already approaching, so he reined in his horse, looked down at the three people in front of him, and asked the tall man, "Who are you?"
"Yan Yingyuan, the official official of Jiangyin Dianshi, has met Duke Xingguo!" Yan Yingyuan did not expect to ask him a question, and after a moment of surprise, he quickly answered with fists in his hands.
When Zhang Mingwei heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. Celebrities, later generations have seen the sculptures of the Three Dukes of Jiangyin. It is obvious that they are not as powerful as the living people in front of them!
So, he smiled and asked Yan Yingyuan, "Was it hard to come here? Did you just arrive today?"
Yan Yingyuan never expected that Duke Xing, the commander of the Imperial Guard, who had stirred up a storm in the court and now even raided Duke Cheng's mansion, would say such words of concern for him!
To be honest, Yan Yingyuan thought that he was just a low-ranking official. Even if he was famous, it was only in the Jiangyin area. There is no one in his court, let alone anything to do with Duke Xingguo, but why does it sound like Duke Xingguo knows him and cares about him?
He couldn't figure this out, and for a moment, he was a little lost.
However, he was a martial artist after all. Yan Yingyuan quickly came to his senses and immediately responded with a little excitement, clasping his fists again: "I received the order and hurried all the way. I just arrived this morning. It's not hard at all!"
Having said this, he paused and then added: "My lord looks very tired. You should pay more attention to your rest!"
Zuo Maodi and Du Yinxi who were standing by were already very surprised when they saw Duke Xingguo suddenly stopped talking to them and still talked cordially to a Dianshi.
At the beginning, the two of them thought that Duke Xingguo had something to do with this classic? However, after listening to the conversation and seeing their demeanor and tone, Zuo Maodi and Du Yinxi felt that the two of them had never met before.
When I heard Yan Yingyuan's last words, I couldn't help but take a closer look, and sure enough I found that Duke Xingguo in front of me was very tired, and there were even bloodshot eyes in his eyes, as if he hadn't had a good rest for several days.
Thinking of this, the two of them immediately thought of the major events in the capital.
Sure enough, I heard Duke Xingguo reply to Yan Yingyuan: "There is no way. In the past, I slept until I woke up naturally, but now I am so busy that I never imagined. I have a lot of things to do, and I have to fight against my pig teammates. , It is indeed tiring! But for the sake of reviving the Ming Dynasty and for the peace of the world, this is the only way!"
"..." Zuo Maodi and others were speechless upon hearing this.
Duke Xingguo's words seemed to compare all the princes in the court to pigs? !
Don't say it, think about it carefully, especially Zuo Maodi, who has served in the capital, really feels this way.
If you want to do something well, you often have to get through your colleagues first. Otherwise, they will be dissatisfied and it will be too difficult to do something. However, there are often many things that cannot be done to satisfy them!
Feeling the same, when they heard Zhang Mingwei talk about reviving the Ming Dynasty and bringing peace to the world, they couldn't help but feel good about Zhang Mingwei.
As for Yan Yingyuan, he actually has a lot of opinions about the princes in the court. The world is in chaos, and it would be unreasonable for them to have no responsibility! And he didn't believe it when he told ghosts and gods. After hearing what happened to Duke Xingguo, although he didn't say it explicitly, he was actually on Duke Xingguo's side.
After hearing Zhang Mingwei's answer, Yan Yingyuan confirmed his own views on people. His expression immediately became serious and he said seriously: "Is the Duke worried about the things of gods and ghosts? The lower officials are incompetent. I know a thing or two about investigating crimes and am willing to serve my country!”
He was most likely certain that the reason why the emperor urgently summoned him as a Dianshi to the capital was because he had done an outstanding job in the position of Dianshi. Even if it wasn't the Jiulian Bodhisattva investigation, there would probably be similar cases to investigate.
Since Duke Xing Guo is a good official and he came to the capital again, without helping him, it would be a pity if he couldn't defeat those pig teammates!
His words made Zuo Maodi and Du Yinxi stunned: They had just arrived in the capital, they had just seen Duke Xingguo, and they had surrendered to him so blatantly? Isn't this a little too naked?
Moreover, when the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva incident is causing serious trouble, you are not afraid that if you seek refuge there and Duke Xingguo loses, won't you be implicated?
Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Why bother? They had just arrived in the capital. Being summoned by the emperor was an opportunity. They might have a bright future. It was too utilitarian to join forces in such a hurry. Already?
Zhang Mingwei didn't expect Yan Yingyuan to say such words, so he was a little surprised. Could it be that he had already developed the aura of king and domineering in the Ming Dynasty just a few days ago?
Of course, he will definitely not show this kind of narcissistic joke. After a slight surprise, he happily replied: "Haha, this is unnecessary. I have already investigated the case of Jiulian Bodhisattva. I recommend you to the emperor because I want you to lead the troops and contribute to calming this troubled world. Li, are you willing?"
As soon as he said this, the three people in front of him were dumbfounded.
There is so much information revealed in Zhang Mingwei’s words, it’s too big!
The case of Jiulian Bodhisattva shocked both the government and the public that year. Not only did a prince die, but it also eventually led to the loss of his official position and life of the chief minister of the court, and a major change in the power of the court. Now, Jiulian Bodhisattva is making trouble again, and it must be another big turmoil, but how can it be resolved so quickly?
Of course, for the three of them, this is not their biggest concern.
Just now Duke Xingguo said that Yan Yingyuan was recommended to the emperor by him. In terms of being summoned to Beijing urgently, the three of them are all the same. Is it possible that the other two people were also recommended by Duke Xingguo?
They thought that they had nothing to do with Duke Xingguo, and they had never even heard of him before. So why would Duke Xingguo recommend them?
Is there something wrong?
Relatively speaking, Yan Yingyuan doesn't think so much. For him, his ambition really is to lead troops to conquer the world. Otherwise, wouldn't all his archery skills be in vain if he frightens Gu San Mazi back with three arrows? Being a historian and investigating a case does not require any martial arts skills!
However, generally speaking, if there is no one in the court, even if you have learned a lot, it is definitely not that easy to put your talents to use. If the original historical development is followed, only guarding Jiangyin after the fall of the Ming Dynasty can be considered as displaying his talents.
But that was actually a pity. The huge disparity in strength finally made him become a part of history like a sudden appearance.
At this time, after hearing what Duke Xingguo said, he was immediately overjoyed. He didn't care about anything else. He immediately clasped his fists and responded vigorously: "Leading troops to put down the chaos in the world is my lifelong wish. I don’t dare to resign!”
"Okay, when the emperor summons you later, you must behave well and don't let down my strong recommendation!" Zhang Mingwei said with a smile, paused for a moment, and suddenly smiled again and said, "Haha, look at what I said, With your talents, there will definitely be no problem, just deal with it normally!"
Yan Yingyuan was already confident in his abilities, but when Duke Xing was so sure, he felt like a confidant, and he immediately and sincerely assured: "I will never let the Duke recommend me!"
In this way, from now on, he will be labeled as Xingguo Gong, and he can only advance and retreat with Xingguo Gong! In other words, in the eyes of the public, they are members of the Xingguo Gongyi Party!
Zhang Mingwei was very pleased with Yan Yingyuan's reply. After nodding, he turned to look at the other two civil servants. His heart was moved and he asked, "Who are you two?"
"I am under the command of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I have been ordered to supervise the water transportation to Zuo Maodi!"
"The magistrate of Changsha is going to block Yinxi!"
As soon as he heard that it was these two people, Zhang Mingwei knew that he was right. He looked at these two celebrities carefully. One was known as a strategist in the late Ming Dynasty, and the other was known as Wen Tianxiang in the late Ming Dynasty. Forty-something years old, in the officialdom, is in the prime of life, and he looks like an official doing practical things.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Mingwei was also satisfied, so he smiled and said to the two of them: "You two are also recommended by me. Your Majesty will summon you later. You must express your truest thoughts without any scruples. "
"..." Zuo Maodi and Du Yinxi were both stunned. As expected, they were just like this Dianshi, and he recommended them!
Zhang Mingwei looked at them and knew that they were a little surprised at how he recommended them. Haha, if he recommended you to come to the capital for something, he would probably be even more shocked, right?
Thinking like this, Zhang Mingwei looked at the sky and thought about the group of people in the court. It was probably that Emperor Chongzhen was impatient, so he stopped chatting with the three celebrities in front of him and went directly into the palace.
