Chapter five hundred and fiftieth seventh spirit like a ghost, heart like a mirror

~.-~         The discussions of Wenhua Palace are rare for the emperors of all dynasties after Yingzong. Even Emperor Hongzhi, who was known for his diligence, met ministers alone in Wenhua Palace during his reign. So, not to mention being disturbed by messages at this moment, if a eunuch looks at his head, he will be beaten out. But Zhu Houzhao changed the morning court of thirty times a month to the young emperor who looked at the dynasty twice a month. Everyone knows that he trusts eunuchs more than ministers. Now that the discussions have suddenly been interrupted, most ministers have no choice but to look helpless on their faces.

However, after hearing the reason for this memorial, he was shocked from top to bottom. Even Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua, who had decided to let Liu Jin go with this matter for the time being due to Zhang Cai's persuasion, could not help but look at each other. As for Liu Jin, who was standing beside Zhu Houzhao, he looked at Xu Xun thoughtfully after initially feeling relieved.

Gu Dayong and this kid are obviously wearing the same kuba. If Xu Xun had not agreed to it, he would never fool the matter. In this way, Xu Xun was unwilling to turn against him? Or, Xu Xun didn't dare to turn against him?

Zhu Houzhao pressed the handrail and looked surprised. After a moment, he said in an unquestionable way: "Let Gu Dayong come in, I want to listen to his report in detail!"

Although the emperor began to value the middle officials after the Yongle Dynasty, no matter the big or small court meetings, he would not summon internal officials at any time. The eunuchs in charge of the seals of the literati like Liu Jin were always standing beside the emperor and acting as a corner of listening. As for any good or bad advice, they would retreat into the deep palace before saying this. This was not surprising that the foreign ministers knew that they were guarding. Therefore, as soon as Zhu Houzhao said this, he immediately attracted a buzzing discussion. Wang Jiao was about to object, but when someone pulled his sleeve, he turned his head and found that it was Li Dongyang. Seeing Li Dongyang shook his head solemnly, he suppressed it again and again, and finally endured it.

After Gu Dayong entered the hall, he bowed as if no one else was around, and then he described the previous arrests under Zhu Houzhao's questioning. He was trusted by Zhu Houzhao, who was originally a person with a small heart and charming and eloquent eloquence. This report was like the scene of a street artist when he was telling the story, from the beginning to the passage, it was extremely detailed.

"Since the eve of Pingbeibo, Ping, went to the West Factory in Lingji Hutong, and told me about the assassination, I immediately let my subordinates move and their spies move. Juyong Guangu is very close to the capital. Later, because of the assassination, the inspection of the checkpoint was more than twice as severe as before, so the detectives sent out were there to assist in the investigation, which naturally left Jiān nowhere to escape. In the restaurants and inns in the capital, the inspection of the new faces was also increased. The investigation of the Western Factory was not enough, so I hired Jinyiwei to assist. Hard work pays off. Just this morning, the Beizhen Fushi Department blocked a group of suspicious people in a house near the Guandi Temple."

Gu Dayi could feel that Xu Xun was looking at him with surprise. But he seemed to have not noticed it, and just waited for everyone to digest the news. Then he lowered his head and said respectfully: "After I received the report, I rushed over and blocked all the neighboring blocks. Then I ordered a strong attack. In the end, I killed seven people in one fell swoop, captured three living people, one of whom seriously injured and two were slightly injured. This confession was asked from the two people who were slightly injured."

Hearing this, Li Dongyang cared more about the number of casualties. He frowned and said, "It was so big in broad daylight? And even though those two confessed, how could they know if they were arguing?"

"Yuan Fu was joking. Is it a méng ancient man? I thought I wouldn't read this wrongly. Besides..." Gu Dayong smiled and glanced at other civil servants. He then smiled. "If you want to exert punishment, the conscience of heaven and earth, the two people had no complete scars of torture except for the previous heavy fight. Besides, they were not taking what they did but took on themselves. Could it be that they were looking for death?"

"So, is it really a gangster?"

Zhu Houzhao believed Gu Dayong's words at once, and was furious for a moment. He immediately slapped the handrail and stood up: "These guys plundered the frontier for many years, causing the people of the nine borders to suffer. This time, Xu Xun finally let them be frustrated again. Are they so bold and reckless?" The more he spoke, the higher his voice, and he looked at the cabinet ministers and the chief officials of the department and the heads of the department, "It's unbearable. They have been bullied by these Tartars. Why do you say that you will wait and bear it for the time being? Not waiting, the Beijing Camp and the 12th Regiment Battalion reported that they were fully prepared, and let the vanguard set out tomorrow... No, let's set out today!"

"emperor!"

This time, Xu Xun stood up: "Emperor, the troops and horses of the Beijing Camp and the 12th Regiment Battalion do not need to be mobilized too quickly. Yuan Fu said before that the troops were not transported before the food and grass was carried out. If the food and grass were not brought enough, the places where thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers were going, the pressure on the surrounding prefectures and counties was too great. It would be better to ask the Shaanxi Trilateral General Manager Yang to allocate the troops and horses of each town for defense or attack. In addition, quickly allocate Taicang silver, and send a member of the Prime Minister's food and grass military pay to the ministers in the middle to allocate the troops and horses in the capital to slow down. The enemy's enemy has been rampant for more than a day or two. Such a large-scale mobilization of troops will inevitably not be unaware of it. If you know it, you will be afraid. The Tartars were defeated in this new situation, and even if they use their troops, they will not really come with all their strength. Therefore, what is important is not this time, but in the future..."

When Xu Xun's words came to this point, everyone knew that this sudden incident helped Xu Xun take the initiative further. At this moment, let alone Liu Jin, even Li Dongyang couldn't help but have an idea - could this so-called assassination be a scene directed and acted by Xu Xun? But before anyone could tell anything out loud, Xiang Gu Dayong had already smiled and spoke.

"This matter is very important, and those two living servants are being held. Why wouldn't the three judicial departments of the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice be tried and tried again? The Jinyiwei supervised the side?"

Gu Dayong's fearless attitude made Wang Yang, who had almost reached his mouth, remained silent. So after thinking for a while, Zhu Houzhao nodded and said firmly: "Okay, hand the criminals over to the Tianzhuo of the Ministry of Justice. Tu Qing, this time you send me additional staff to take a closer look, don't have any more ghosts!"

Tu Xun didn't expect that this matter would really fall on him. He was stunned and bent down to receive the order: "I obey the order!"

After discussing something else for a long time, the discussion came to an end. When it was dispersed, Liu Jin reported to Zhu Houzhao, then quickly walked to Xu Xun and Gu Dayong, regardless of the civil servants, they looked at this place, and said with a smile: "Lao Gu. I didn't expect you to be really decisive this time!"

"Where are, those dogs almost plotted against Brother Xu. If I don't work hard, wouldn't I be sorry for that little friendship?" Gu Dayong smiled so much that he narrowed his eyes. Seeing that Liu Jin clearly didn't expect that he would tell the friendship so frankly, he squeezed his eyes again, "As for those enemies, I'm going to tell you, there were some clues before. This time, I happened to take the opportunity to take it all in one fell swoop. Who knew that I was really catching a few big fish for me! Alas, if you want to fight, the guys of the Jinyiwei are really good, unlike those under my command. They are all timid..."

Seeing that Gu Dayong seemed to be planning to talk to him in a long story, Liu Jin had to cough heavily to interrupt his endless talk, and then said, "So that's the case... Well, let's talk about this. Our family was busy two days ago, and Brother Xu came back from the road, so we had to rest. Tonight, we will be holding wine at home to welcome Brother Xu and put pressure on him. Lao Gu, you must come together!"

Seeing that Gu Dayong didn't even hesitate, Liu Jin agreed immediately, so he bowed and took the two little firemen and hurried away. As he left, Xu Xun saw that the hall where there were still many people standing just now was clean. Only he and Gu Dayong were left, so he raised his hand and said, "Let's go, I still have a lot of things to ask you, Eunuch Gu!"

"Don't ask for advice, I can't afford it!" Gu Dayong shook his head like a rattle, and waited until he went out side by side with Xu Xun. He said meaningfully, "I want to ask for advice. I am just a person who does this. The idea was from Zhang Xilu. The news was sent by Li Yifeng, the North Town Fufu Department. I just asked someone to go out for a while. Now that you have rested, it's better to go and see Old Ye Guang. Li Yifeng was anxious to ask me to pull out a good imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital. Judging from his appearance, Ye Guang may not be able to ting for a few days. Don't worry about my work, there is no mistake at all."

Since the Ming Dynasty, the word "博博博博博" has been a symbol of darkness, and the promotion here is entirely based on the king's intentions. It is common for the promotion of the ranks to be promoted. Legendary predecessors encouraged the younger generation to climb up even more by any means. Among them, from the General Banner of the Jinyiwei during the Chenghua period to the current commander of the commander of the capital, Ye Guang can be regarded as an alternative legend. He can be promoted all the way from the late Chenghua period to the Hongzhi period, and now he is in charge of the Jinyiwei affairs, which shows his unspoken water grinding. However, even the iron man can't beat the years and illnesses. Now, he leans on the kang with his bones, but his face does not have much sad expression, but looks thoughtfully at the emerald green outside the window.

"Grandpa, grandpa!" A little boy rushed in like a gust of wind and said unhappily, "Grandpa, the adult who came last time is here!"

Although Ye Guang was the leader of the Jinyiwei who seemed to be glorious, he never had any friends in doing such things. Therefore, very few people came to visit the house, and those who came to visit him during illness were just those old colleagues and subordinates. Therefore, when he heard the word "Master" at this moment, he was stunned at first. Until his grandson Ye Yao added another sentence, "Mr. Xu, who gave me dominoes", he suddenly realized.

"Mr. Xu is Master Xu. What is the one I've been here last time?" Ye Guang scolded the little guy a few words, supporting him and was about to go down the ground, but Ye Yao held him tightly. He was stunned and was about to scold him. He saw that the little grandson looked so angry that he had to sit down again, but sighed, "The distinguished guest is here, your father is not here, this is too rude."

"What's wrong with this? I'm not an outsider." Xu Xun stepped into the door with a smile. Seeing Ye Guang was quite surprised, he nodded and said, "It was me who said to the person at the door that I'm not an outsider, so I don't have to take out the tricks of being an outsider, but after a while, I still couldn't stop Brother Yao." He said, and then mocked Ye Yao's head with a smile. Then he sat down on the big kang next to the window.

"Yaoer. Come and make tea."

Ye Yao responded and was about to leave, but Xu Xun stopped the person. He took out something from behind with a smile, and stuffed it into the little guy's hand without saying a word: "I gave you that domino before, and this time I will give you another scimitar. It is also the spoils I got from Lu Kou this time, but it was a little worn..."

"Thank you, Lord Xu!" The child was the most envious time for the heroes. Ye Yao was afraid that Xu Xun would take back this thing. He shook his head vigorously and hid the scimitar behind him. Then he knelt down and kowtowed under Ye Guang's stern eyes, and then rushed out. Facing this scene, Xu Xun couldn't help but laugh.

"A child is ignorant, please don't bother with him." Ye Guang said these two words, and suddenly felt his throat itchy again. He quickly picked up the cup of warm tea on the kang table and took a sip of it. When Xu Xun asked about his body with concern, he smiled bitterly, "My son refused to tell the truth, Li Yifeng was also hesitant, but I was so arrogant all my life, but now I don't know what the situation is. I can't resist for a long time, and I have lived enough, not to mention that I have entrusted Li Yifeng and others to you, Pingbei Bo, there is nothing to worry about."

Seeing that Ye Guang was not reluctant to speak at all, there was a faint smile on his face, but he did not mention his descendants at all. How could Xu Xun not know that this person was really outspoken? He couldn't help but feel more respect in his heart. When Ye Yao carefully brought a cup of tea in his hands and presented it to him respectfully, he quickly reached out to take it, but pulled Ye Yao and sat next to him.

"I'm here to visit Lord Ye today. There is nothing business, so I can keep him." Seeing Ye Guang signaling with his eyes, Xu Xun said something as if he was going to send Ye Yao down, and then said thoughtfully. "I have never seen a son-in-law once I came here before. I remember Lord Ye mentioned that the son-in-law is just a hundred households in brocade clothes and has no serious duties in charge of affairs. How could he be so busy that he is not at home even if you are sick?"

"Dad is going out to see my aunt." Ye Yao answered before Ye Guang. It was obvious that his grandfather frowned, and he didn't dare to speak. At this time, Xu Xun couldn't help but look at Ye Guang in surprise. After a while, he saw Ye Guang sighing deeply.

"The little girl's husband has died long ago. She has been widowed for many years and her life has not been very satisfactory. She asked me to give her grandson an errand, but I never agreed. She just asked the dog to go to her place to take care of her." Seeing Xu Xun seemingly moved, Ye Guang quickly said, "Pingbei Bo, it's not that I am pretentious. The Jinyiwei's duties are rewarded by the saint. If I am grateful to my grandson, this would be too much. Moreover, a idle position does not have much money and food all year round, and it makes people lazy and corrupt. The grandson has a little talent for studying, so I plan to let him leave. If he can get a fame by chance, it is better than forcing a idle position."

Knowing that Ye Guang's xingzi was like this, Xu Xun pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, I'll ask Xilu, what good schools are in this capital? Send people in to grind them. If it's really a piece of material, I'll see if Xilu is willing to accept a student."

Ye Guang didn't expect Xu Xun to recommend someone to Zhang Cai, and he was stunned and felt very moved. However, before he could even say anything, Ye Yao suddenly said, "Mr. Xu, I can already shoot now. Last time you said that you would accept me as a vanguard in the future! When I grow up, would you accept me as a personal soldier?"

Xu Xun was stunned by the little guy's words, and then burst into laughter. Seeing this, Ye Guang wanted to scold his grandson, but felt helpless. Finally, he had to explain: "It's really the people around Pingbei Bo who went out to be effective. Moreover, the people in the mansion talk too much, and often tell him something or not, so he remembers it..."

"No problem. When you are two years older and can afford to endure hardships, I will keep it safe and I will definitely want you!"

After wandering around for half an hour, Xu Xun knew that Ye Guang could not see the guests for too long while he was ill, so he stood up and said. After Ye Guang thanked him again and again, he asked Ye Yao to send Xu Xun out. It was not long after walking out of the main house. Ye Yao suddenly raised his head and asked, "Mr. Xu, will grandpa die? When the doctor and dad muttered, they didn't let me listen every time, nor did they say to grandpa, I..."

"It's okay, even if your grandfather really comes underground one day, he will definitely be a hero!" Xu Xun smiled slightly, stroked Ye Yao's head again, and saw a surprised and joyful smile on his face. He put down his hand and continued to move forward slowly. When the second gate was far away, a figure suddenly rushed over three steps and two steps. Who else wasn't Li Yifeng?

Seeing that Ye Yao's attitude was clearly sending Xu Xun out, Li Yifeng quickly met him: "Boy Pingbei is visiting Lord Ye?"

"You are so quick to hear the gods!"

Li Yifeng was embarrassed by Xu Xun's words, and squatted down and smiled and said to Ye Yao a few words. He finally grabbed the little guy's job of giving away. He saw that the person left step by step and turned around and then breathed a sigh of relief. He asked Xu Xun softly: "Mr. Ye hasn't you asked about his condition?"

"Even if you haven't asked, he is not a three-year-old child, wouldn't you know? You have been with Lord Ye for so long, but you don't know his temper!"

Li Yifeng was silent after hearing Xu Xun's reproach. However, at this moment, the two of them could only hear the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, and then there were gongs and drums. Seeing Xu Xun's face suddenly terrifyingly, even though Ye Guang had told him not to tell Xu Xun, he couldn't help but say: "I advised Lord Ye to move a place several times, but Lord Ye never agreed. The house next door was said to be purchased by the East Factory. In order to train some actors, I asked Eunuch Gu to tell Eunuch Qiu, but this way... it seems to be useless!" (To be continued...!
