Chapter 223: Loyalty Liu, Honest Xu

When you fight and rise, you must first settle down!

Xu Xun stared at Liu Jin with a strange face, and the person in front of him seemed to have transformed into a familiar bald head. However, Liu Jin did not notice his changes and smiled and said, "I haven't read many books and don't know many words, but when I was listening to the lecture with the prince, I remembered this sentence at once.

Whether we are a few of us, brother Xu, you are not stable, and there is no accurate number of things in this war. If someone beats me to an ambush and loses, then will you be dead at that time?"

Seeing that Xu Xun didn't say anything, Liu Jin mistakenly thought that Xu Xun could not control such a good opportunity, and hurriedly said, "Also, Zhang Yong, that guy, ignored the past and the future, did not go to inquire about the current situation in the court. All the old people were opposed to the use of troops. I heard that Wang Shouren was refuted a few days ago. Even if the prince came forward, he might not be able to make any decision. If we pursued him, we will instigate him again. Do you think so?"

Xu Xun had heard about Wang Shouren's refutation, but Liu Jin, an official in the Eastern Palace, could find out about the ministry's discussion, which was really great. Therefore, while he was shocked, he was also thinking quickly in his heart, and then gave Liu Jin a thumbs up: "Okay, Old Liu, even the news from the Ministry of War can tell you, this is really amazing!"

"Where is it? It's because I have a good relationship with Gu Dayong." Liu Jin smiled sly and lowered his voice and said, "I'll just tell you this. Although the West Factory has been abandoned for a long time, His Highness the Crown Prince always felt that the Jinyiwei was a foreign minister. The old man Wang Yue of the East Factory was not easy to deal with, so he asked Gu Dayong to lead a group of spies to inquire about the news. In the future, there would be a foundation for rebuilding the West Factory. Gu Dayong was wearing the same kuba as me and often asked me about everything, not to mention that this kind of news is not troublesome, and it's nothing."

Xu Xun then realized that the news of rebuilding the West Factory was indeed from the East Palace. Shunganer praised Liu Jin for a few more words and saw that the wrinkles on the other party were smiling and stretched out. He took advantage of the situation and asked: "But the West Factory has been dispersed for more than 20 years. The Jinyiwei and the East Factory in the capital are evenly divided. Eunuch Gu is not doing this job so easy, right?"

"No?" Liu Jin sighed and shook his head, and said bitterly, "It's fine for the Jinyiwei. Ye Guang is a son who doesn't offend me. Besides, he never crosses the line when doing things fairly. We just don't provoke him. He will never take care of him. But Wang Yue of the East Factory... Hey, this old guy protects his own acre of three-point land. He doesn't even say that the water is poured in. He is also afraid that others will steal his business. Gu Dayong has already fallen into his hands! The people in the West Factory have long been dispersed. Those old masters' students and relatives were beaten too badly. As a result, Wang Zhi, Wei Huan and Wu Shou and those under his command have a good ending? Alas, why is it so difficult to find someone to do business these days?"

Liu Jin was in the prison, but Xu Xun thought of Huitong, who had left a word to Jin Liu without a trace. He did not recommend it directly in front of Liu Jin, but said in a human tone: "So, why not let someone go out to inquire about the former Xichang old subordinates, but still stayed in the capital. There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. Eunuch Gu is the confidant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This alone is enough for those frightened crows to flock to him."

"You said that, I will mention Gu Dayong again so that he can't bother me all day long."

Liu Jin came to Xu Xun today for the matter of the West Factory. Seeing Xu Xun really gave him an idea, he immediately coughed and said, "Brother Xu, Gu Dayong has always envied me for being close to you, so he was not good at talking to you. So he asked me to tell you about Xiang Yier. It was the previous one. Although his subordinates led dozens of spies, it was not right after all. And if you think about it, there was no news about Zheng Wang's case, whether it was the East Factory or the Jinyiwei, there was no news in advance. His Highness and the two of us took action, so he could get it right. I know that you and the Sili Superintendent were good at Yin Eunuch Xiao, so I want to ask you to find out and see if this Western Factory can be legitimate. Even if it is just a name in the Sili Superintendent and not publicize it to the public."

"This..." Xu Xun suddenly felt embarrassed. Seeing Liu Jin staring at him, he smiled and said, "Although this matter is difficult, it's not impossible to try it. However, Eunuch Liu, you are really loyal. Even if the West Factory is really opened, it is also the leader of Eunuch Gu. You are still so worried about running forward and backward."

Liu Jin smiled with a loyal sentence, and his eyes almost narrowed into a slit: "That's right, I'm a well-known loyal Liu in the East Palace. My friend is in trouble. What's the point of running a tutu? What's more, Gu Dayong and I are so good at wearing a kui, so it's also necessary to help. If you really want to start the West Factory, everyone in the East Palace can benefit from it, right? I, Old Liu, don't ask for anything but come to you, because Brother Xu, you are honest and sincere to others. By the way, Eunuch Xiao will take a turn for a few days and will probably go back to the Si house to rest. At that time, I'll let someone notify you."

Seeing Xu Xun, he finally nodded after a while, and agreed readily, saying that if he saw Xiao Jing next time, Liu Jin was naturally overjoyed. He immediately called Xiao Yaoer to drink and forced Xu Xun to drink. Until Xu Xun couldn't bear to drink, he repeatedly refused. Then he ordered the servant to drive the car and take the person back. As soon as the person left, he laughed proudly.

You should know that there are at least seven or eight eunuchs in the Sili Supervisor, and at least five or six western factories are really going to be opened. Where can I get the best of the money? Among the eunuchs that Zhu Houzhao trusted in the East Palace, only Gao Feng, who is the eunuch in the Sili Supervisor and the eunuch in charge of the East Palace.

Over the years, others only remember to work hard in front of Zhu Houzhao, but he served this old eunuch very well. The West Factory was in the hands of Gao Feng. What is the difference between him and his?

Although he had to live in the military camp outside Andingmen these days, it was too late to leave the city again. Xu Xun took Liu Jin's car to Xing'an Bo Mansion and sought to stay at home for one night. Then he learned from Xu Liang about the multiple versions of the battle between Zhu Hui and Miao Kui of the Duke of the Kingdom of Guo. He had a good night's sleep and left the mansion early in the morning, but just when he was single and out of Andingmen, he saw a figure looking around in the long queue outside the city gate. As soon as he met, he recognized the person. Seeing that there were many cars and horses behind him, he pretended to avoid it and dodge it to the side. When he passed by the man, he felt that the other party stuffed something into his boots.

When he arrived at a fork at the official road, Xu Xun turned on a path where few people walked. He bent down and pulled out his boots and found a small note with a few simple lines of words written on it.

"Ying San, who instigated Qi Jiliang and Xu Yi, has been found. This person was ordered by Jiao Fang, the Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel. Jiao Fang intends to be the Minister of Personnel, so he uses his strength to fight and quote the article to be promoted to the position."

Xu Xun suddenly pinched the notes into a ball, and anger appeared on his face that could not be concealed. Not only did he and Jiao Fang not even have any grudges at first, but this old guy repeatedly plotted against him. Could it be that Xu Xun was easy to bully at a young age?

In the evening, East and West Jiangmi Lane was filled with officials from all the major yamen on both sides, while the most lively East and West Chang'an Street, the most lively East and West Chang'an Street, was silent in the early morning. Jiao Fang lowered his head and got out of the sedan chair at the gate of Jiao Mansion on West Chang'an Street. The housekeeper Li An immediately rushed forward and took advantage of the opportunity to help his master get out of the sedan chair and whispered to Jiao Fang.

"Master, there is news about the matter in Jinling. Yunfu should be Xu Jin, the eldest son of the Xu family in Taipingli."

"Okay!" Jiao Fang nodded. After he stood firm, he said lightly, "Look at people to death and don't leave the house, but don't act rashly for anything else."

"yes!"

Ma Wensheng escaped Wang Gai and Wu Hui's impeachment and sat firmly in his seat, but before, Xu Xun was unable to suppress him, his reputation was slightly damaged. Jiao Fang used his retirement to retreat as an advance and received criticism from the emperor, so the Ministry of Personnel finally had a vague attitude towards competing with Ma Wensheng. Now that he has received such good news, his concerns about his son Jiaohuang's test scores have been reduced a lot. After a few drinks in the evening, he read the book happily in the study until a call suddenly came from outside.

"Master, there are guests outside to pay homage!"

Hearing that it was Ang Lee's voice, Jiao Fang frowned slightly, and then asked lightly: "Who is it?"

"Rong Xiaoya comes in to report." With this, Ang Lee entered the house. After covering up the door, he took a few steps forward. Seeing Jiao Fang's face slightly anger, he hurriedly saluted and whispered, "Master, it's Prince Xing'an!"

"Oh?" Jiao Fang immediately dropped the book in his hand, stood up suddenly, and asked a hint of surprise on his face. But in just a moment, his expression disappeared without a trace, and the man slowly sat down. The next moment, he asked as if nothing had happened, "Are he single, or did he take his entourage and walk through the front door and the back door?"

"Those who come alone are asking for a meeting at the front door."

When you are single, you will naturally hide your tracks and fear that people will know them; but when you go to the front door of West Chang'an Street to ask for a meeting, you will easily be discovered. Therefore, Jiao Fang thought about it and didn't know what Xu Xun was selling in a gourd for a while. Finally, he ordered in a deep voice: "Well, please invite him in. After you settle Yunfu, you must not let him know about Xu Xun's coming!"

Ang Lee agreed to retreat. After a while, he took a cup of tea, and he led Xu Xun into the study. Seeing the greetings on both sides, he tiptoed out of the door, but he held the book boy and others back and stood outside the door to guard.

"Xu is a rare guest. I heard that you have been training troops in the old school outside Andingmen for several days. I don't know why I visited my husband's humble room today?"

"Of course, you won't go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble."
