Chapter 350: Never let go(1/2)
The next morning, a shocking news came from the palace: Eunuch Chen Hong was old and had an order, and Huang Jin took over as the chief supervisor of the seal.
Jiajing still gave this old eunuch leader of the previous dynasty. First of all, the sounds of clamoring to check the Sili prison books were directly suppressed by Jiajing.
Everyone is leaving, why are you still making trouble for this? The Silijian will be under Huang Jinguan from now on. If there are any problems, he will check it himself.
Secondly, Jiajing rewarded Chen Hong with a plate of silver. In fact, this plate of silver is not much, only 200 taels. Not to mention Chen Hong, no eunuch will take it seriously, but it is of great significance.
This is called "give gold to return home", which represents the emperor's affirmation of your years of service and also represents the emperor's attitude: If you are free, go live well.
Jiajing must have known that he had made trouble with Chen Hong in the account book. Although Jiajing did not object to the end of the case, he would definitely not be happy with Chen Hong's move.
If Chen Hong refused to leave at this time, this unhappiness might have occurred at any time. But Chen Hong was so tactful, it could almost be regarded as resigning, and Jiajing would be more generous.
This is the heart of an emperor. He never cares whether what you do is right or wrong, he only cares whether what you do is beneficial to him and whether he is respectful enough to him.
It is unknown how much Huang Jin's contribution is in this plate of silver, but when Chen Hong took the silver, his hands trembled slightly, and his heart finally let go.
He made a choice at a critical moment and took the risk to help Xiao Feng, just to take a gamble. Now, he won the bet.
Xiao Feng's promise to him had already made
Half of it was cashed in. Taking this opportunity, he landed steadily from the top of the mountain to the ground, avoiding the falling to pieces.
The remaining half depends on whether anyone dares to take revenge on him in the future. If others don’t say it, it will be a bit cruel for him to offend Dongchang this time.
Yan Niang came to the door again. In the past six months, she has been here very diligently and has no longer had any strangeness at the time. Even Chen Da, who was guarding the door, received instructions and let him in when he came, without any need to inform him.
Yan Niang walked to the inner hall and saw Chen Hong dazed at Yinzi on the table, while his wife Xiaoqin was packing her clothes and luggage to prepare for the long journey.
Yan Niang bent down respectfully to salute, but there was no difference because Chen Hong had no identity. Chen Hong looked up and smiled.
"Sit down, it was Xiao Feng who asked you to come. What does he say?"
Yan Niang sat sideways and said softly: "Young Master Xiao said that he is not convenient to come at this time, so I ask me to bring you a message.
He said: 'Tell Brother Chen that it is better to be quiet than to move, and it is safest to live in the capital.' As for the reason, I didn't dare to ask."
Chen Hong's eyes lit up, he nodded slowly, and looked at Yan Niang affectionately, just like looking at his brother and wife.
"Miss Yan, don't call yourself a servant in the future. Just like Xiao Feng, just call me Brother Chen and Sister Xiaoqin.
There are no people in my hometown. I have lived in the capital for a lifetime, so I will live here and never leave. I will come to play when I have time in the future.”
Xiaoqin frowned: "Master, didn't you say before that you wanted to find a place where no one was living in seclusion? Xiao Feng said, would you change your mind?"
Chen Hong looked at his little wife pamperedly: "Xiao Feng won't say this
In the words, I have to leave quickly. Now that he said, I can stay!"
Seeing the two women looking confused, Chen Hong smiled: "Go and ask the kitchen to cook some good dishes, and Yan Niang will have a drink with us."
The most panicked thing about Chen Hong resigning and Huang Jin taking office was Zhang Yuan. He was worried that Huang Jin would take the opportunity to slander Jiajing and take over his Dongchang together.
Therefore, in the past two days, Yan Song frequently asked to see Jiajing and report on his work. He also indirectly said a lot of good things to the East Factory.
To be fair, although Dongchang did not do many good things, he still did a lot of things. He was not afraid of hardship, fatigue, dirty, or pot.
From Jiajing launching a "big ceremony" to "recruiting a beautiful girl", to the recent "changing rice into mulberry", any incident that will cause protests and rebound from officials is behind the scenes of Dongchang diligently arresting, beating and killing people.
After all, the responsibilities of the Jinyiwei are quite complicated, but the work of the Dongchang is clear: if you dare to make the emperor uncomfortable, let’s beat him up!
Zhang Yuan added fuel to the fire, Yan Song fanned the flames, and finally gradually calmed Jiajing's dissatisfaction with Zhang Yuan. More importantly, Yan Song knew very well what Jiajing was thinking.
It is easy to get rid of Zhang Yuan, but Jiajing does not have a suitable candidate to replace Zhang Yuan in a short period of time. The candidate for the Dongchang Factory Mansion must not have a good relationship with Lu Bing.
No matter how Jiajing trusts Lu Bing, Jinyiwei and Dongchang will always be a relationship of mutual monitoring and restraint. Huang Jin and Lu Bing have a good relationship, so Jiajing will not let Huang Jin directly control Dongchang.
Zhang Yuan's seat was saved, which made Yan Shifan feel relieved. Baihua Building was gone, if it were Zhang
It was a long way off, and this time it was really a failure.
Fortunately, my advantage on the main battlefield is still lies with me. No matter how much Xiao Feng has to do before he sets off, he will always have to set off. As long as he leaves the capital and goes to the south, everything will be different.
Three days later, the sky was as clear as a wash, and the ten-mile pavilion was long, and all officials gathered to see the Governor of Jiangnan out of Beijing to take office. Unless the emperor personally left the palace to see him off, this was the highest courtesy.
When all officials bid farewell to each other, the leader was naturally the leader. Yan Song led Yan Shifan and stood in front of all officials. He had been waiting for a long time and was already very angry.
"It's so rude! Long live gave him such a high courtesy, but he still didn't come until this time. It's so outrageous!"
Xiao Feng had just left the mansion and was saying goodbye to everyone one by one.
King Yu and King Jing were ordered by Jiajing to see him off on behalf of the emperor. The two of them were much smarter than the officials and ran directly to Xiao Mansion and waited to leave with Xiao Feng.
As the wife, Liu Xueer is naturally qualified to say a few more words: "Brother Xiao Feng, come back early..."
Princess Chang'an in the luxurious carriage next to her lifted the curtains: "Sister Xueer, don't worry, I will urge him to come back early."
Qiao Niang hugged Qiao Qiao's waist and refused to let her rush to Xiao Feng: "Master, be careful on the way..."
Princess Chang'an nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Qiao Niang, it's safe to go out this time, you don't have to worry."
Zhang Yunqing and Wang Yingxiang each held a sword in their hands and looked decent: "Brother Xiao, just take us with you, we can protect you!"
Princess Chang'an shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, it's a far cry from here, this time
It’s very dangerous to go, you two can’t do it!”
Liu Ruyun didn't say a word, with red eyes, rubbed her clothes in her hands, and looked at Xiao Feng in a daze.
Princess Chang'an said nothing, squinted her eyes, held the curtain in her hand, and looked at Liu Ruyun in tea.
Zhang Tianci shouted: "Brother, don't worry, I'm at home, what you told me to find is already obvious!"
Princess Chang'an nodded seriously: "Well, thank you for your hard work, Boss Zhang, please do your business!"
Xiao Feng shook his head helplessly. This girl was so excited that she almost said everything for herself, but she really didn't know what to say.
Wangcai: "Wang, wool, wool."
Princess Chang'an thought for a long time, but didn't know how to respond, so she had to give up and put down the curtain of the car.
The convoy started, and the people on the street were all sitting on the roadside to see off, and Xiao Feng bowed one by one.
Liu Tong's family, standing across the street, also waved to Xiao Feng desperately. Xiao Feng waved immediately. Liu Tong suddenly thought of something and reminded Xiao Feng loudly.
"Son-in-law! The brothels in Jiangnan are so beautiful. You must be strong and don't fall into depravity!"
When Xiao Feng's convoy arrived at the Shili Changting in a mighty manner, Yu Dayou's troops were already in place and had been waiting with the officials for a while.
Seeing that Xiao Feng finally showed up, all the officials finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They really didn't expect to wait for so long, so they didn't even bring a stool. They all respected their own identities and refused to sit on the ground. At this time, Yan Song, who was in physical condition, was already shaking.
Yan Song held back his anger. If it were normal, he would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble. But today Yan Shifan reminded him repeatedly.
"Father, sure
But because of a small loss, Xiao Feng set out smoothly and arrived in Jiangnan. Long live far away, so that we can deal with him!"
So Yan Song still squeezed out a smile: "Mr. Xiao, I am ordered to lead all officials to see you off. I wish Mr. Xiao a smooth journey and success!"
Xiao Feng smiled faintly, dismounted and bowed to all the officials: "My sir, it's not that Xiao Feng is lazy and domineering, but that is really the princess's highness, which is very complicated. Therefore, I'm late, I hope you can forgive me!"
All the officials nodded, expressing their understanding, women, going out is a problem!
In the carriage, he muttered in a low voice: "It was clearly him sleeping in. I heard that he didn't go home late at night last night, but it was the carriage from Chunyanlou who sent him back!
I heard that there is a fire girl in the car, which is the red card of Chunyanlou! I must have been struggling with the fire girl until midnight, but at this time I used you as a shield!"
Princess Chang'an curled her lips: "What I heard from others? Isn't it just what Zhang Yunqing told you?
Let me tell you that among these women, Zhang Yunqing is the most sensible, and she said it to you on purpose!
A real man, what's wrong with a brothel? Look at Liu Xueer, he didn't say anything!
What’s wrong with being a shield for Lord Xiao? Men, only if he feels that he owes you will be better for you!”
Zuihua looked at Princess Chang'an in surprise: "Your Highness, Princess, where did you... you learned these words? That's not what you usually say..."
Princess Chang'an was stunned and immediately knew that she could abandon all the girls and monopolize Xiao Feng in the future. Therefore, she was overly excited and the fragrance of tea was everywhere, revealing her true nature. She shut up immediately,
Cough twice with great force.
"I'm just going to draw, I don't know how long this body can last, so I tell you the truth that seems to be from the book, so that you won't be hurt in the future."
According to the farewell ceremony, the prince and the prime minister had to toast separately. After Xiao Feng took three glasses of wine, his eyes passed over Yan Song and looked at Yan Shifan three times, and his words were all silent.
Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng, I’m afraid you will think that my father will be the governor of Jiangnan to make you take the blame for changing rice into mulberry. Don’t worry, you may not be able to survive until then!
Xiao Feng smiled faintly. At this time, someone set up a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to leave behind the ink treasures. This is also one of the part of the farewell ceremony.
Because most of the people who are qualified to enjoy this farewell ceremony are important officials of the court, and they go to the frontier, which is very dangerous.
Before leaving, you often have to write down some words that express loyalty and ask someone to take them back to the emperor, which is a gift to the emperor for arranging this ceremony.
King Yu whispered: "Master, if you don't know what to write, you can write 'Do your best'. According to the records of history, the most people have written this."
King Jing nodded: "I am the same."
King Yu: “…”
Xiao Feng smiled, picked up his pen, thinking about Jiajing sitting in the monastery, looking at the white clouds floating in the sky, inexplicably thought of Miss Yun who left last night.
Clouds are in the blue sky and water is in the bottle. Senior brother, is the things in this world really that simple? Is clouds free in the blue sky? Is water not free in the bottle?
