Chapter 40 Scarlet (4)

The court dispersed and the ministers left the palace one after another.

Xie Jin smiled and said goodbye to several colleagues from the Hanlin Academy, and refused a few gentle invitations and left the palace alone.

He was an old man around the emperor. A few days ago, he was a calligraphy teacher who was a calligraphy teacher who was a prince studying in Wenhua Hall. Today he showed up at the grand court meeting, so some people were inevitably going to come over.

He has always been quite calm and has no great official addiction. He never even formed a gang in the court. He just watched Xianyun Yehe freely and freely, but in fact he kept a distance from everyone.

It won’t work if you don’t keep it. Tie Xuan, who was a member of the two companions in the East Palace, was already a third-rank governor, and was very prosperous in Zhejiang. He Xie Jin was a Hanlin nobleman, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he would be a great scholar in a few years. Who wouldn’t want to get close to him?

"Great Sage!"

As he was walking, he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him. He turned around and looked at Duke Cao Li Jinglong in a python robe and walked over with a smile.

This is an acquaintance, Xie Jin dared not neglect and also had a bit of sincerity, "Duke Cao!"

"Where do you go?" Li Jinglong said with a smile.

"It's noon, I'll go out to find a place to repair my stomach." Xie Jin smiled, "To be honest, I'm anxious to wake up in the morning, and breakfast is useless. Wudiao Temple has already started to make trouble!"

He and Li Jinglong are old friends, and there is also a difference between civil and military affairs, so they speak very casually.

"Haha!" Li Jinglong laughed, "I'm having a famine in my stomach. Let's go, let's have two brothers together!"

As he said, he thought about it and continued to smile, "Ruyilou's fruit wood roast duck? Then with four meat and four vegetables, let's have half a pound of jade pot spring?"

Before Xie Jin could speak, he shook his head again, "No, I'm tired of eating too much roast duck!" Then Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Let's go, go to Liyuan to eat!"

"A serious Cantonese restaurant, this season is the time to eat mutton. The Dongshan goats transported from Guangdong are different from the mouth-watering sheep we usually eat."

"With the skin pot, stew it slowly in a casserole, add horses' hooves and sugarcane, the stewed soup is fresh and sweet. The skinned mutton is served with a southern milk dip, and then two pounds of double steamed......"

When it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, Li Jinglong said very well.

There are many talented people in Beijing, but there are very few people who can compare with Li Jinglong in terms of delicious food.

"It won't work today!" Xie Jin smiled hurriedly, "It's not to ruin your fun. There are still errands on Xiaguan in the afternoon!"

"What errand?" Li Jinglong said strangely.

Xie Jin smiled slightly, "The prince practices calligraphy in the afternoon!"

"Oh, look at my memory, this is a huge thing!" Li Jinglong patted his forehead and then smiled, "Da Shen, you are amazing. The former companion to the East Palace, and now the calligraphy teacher of the East Palace."

Xie Jin hurriedly looked around and said anxiously, "Duke Cao, you can't say that!"

"Okay, okay, I know you are a stable person now!" Li Jinglong laughed, and then suddenly sighed halfway, "Why have you, Jie Dashen, started to be cautious? Where did the unruly Jie Dashen, who was the former unruly talented man?"

"But, it's okay to be careful. Brother, I'm a veteran. The more proud this person is, the more you should be careful when he is, otherwise he will be jealous."

As he said that, he patted the other person's shoulder intimately, "After that being said, brother is really happy for you. We old ministers in the East Palace are all promising now. Needless to mention the iron tripod, you have a place now, and He Guangyi is about to be the minister."

"I am happy from the bottom of my heart when everyone is getting better and better! By the way, He Guangyi is probably going back to Beijing too. When he comes back, I will make an appointment with a table, and you will accompany him!"

Xie Jin looked around again and said tactfully, "Duke Cao, Commander He will hold an important position in the future, I am afraid that he will be like this in private..."

Li Jinglong was stunned for a moment and smiled, "We are all friends, what's the point? He looks like he wants to have a bill with others, but he can't do it with us."

"I didn't mean that!" Xie Jin was a little anxious, "Will he do the future?"

"Oh!" Li Jinglong seemed to realize everything, and said, "Fortunately, you remind me, otherwise I would have made it difficult for him."

He Guangyi's future official position was not only the commander of the Jinyiwei, but also the position of Assistant Minister of the Xinya Integrity Yuan. What the county yamen does? The emperor explained clearly at the court meeting.

That is the Hall of Hell that is prepared for officials!

In the past, He Guangyi could have a smile on his face with the only few people with good personal relationships. I guess he would be stern even if he saw his father resurrected from the dead.

"Look at me, I forgot everything when I am happy!" Li Jinglong continued, "Old He is really in the market. The commander of the Jinyiwei and the assistant minister of the department, has a bright future!"

This is what he said in his heart. Although the Jinyiwei has a high position and power, everyone knows that the power of the Jinyiwei is very different from that of other officials.

Because all the power of the Jinyiwei comes from the emperor. The emperor does not need them, they are just a group of decorations. He Guangyi, the commander, is actually a private figure like an emperor's slave. Now that he has changed from a commander to a minister, he is equivalent to becoming a step forward and reborn.

At this time, Li Jinglong smiled again, walked side by side with Xie Jin, and said inadvertently, "This matter is very sudden today, I have never come back now. What is the chief arrest of the Independent Council? The emperor said that he would draw capable officials from the Dali Temple Censorate and other departments. But he didn't say who to draw? It's not easy to deal with just relying on Baozhao and He Guangyi!"

"You also know that brother, I am now in charge of the Lifan Courtyard. It's easy to say that the people next to me are short of people! It's not that easy to start a yamen!"

Xie Jin thought about it, looked at Li Jinglong's face, and said hesitantly, "How can I know about this? But yesterday, when I finished teaching the prince to practice calligraphy and reported to the emperor, I saw someone outside Le Zhizhai."

"Who?" Li Jinglong asked hurriedly.

"You know Yang Rong, who has been by the Supreme Emperor a while ago!" Xie Jin finished speaking in a low voice, and then looked around again, "Duke Cao, I shouldn't have said this..."

Yang Rong?

This person, Li Jinglong, knew that he had nodded in the farm where Hongshu was planted. He was also a scholar from a famous family, and his every move was airtight.

Why did he go?

But it was nothing surprising to think about it again. If you create such a yamen, the emperor and the Supreme Emperor must have discussed it secretly. Yang Rong was doing his best to give him a future. It was just that the Supreme Emperor raised his hand.

"This is what comes from your own mouth and into your ears..."

Upon hearing this, Li Jinglong immediately pretended to be puzzled, "What did you say?"

Xie Jin was slightly stunned, and then smiled relievedly.

Then, the two separated outside the Meridian Gate, Xie Jin got into the sedan chair, and Li Jinglong got into his carriage.

Watching Xie Jin's sedan chair walk away in the carriage, Li Jinglong shook his head and smiled.

"Do you know why you have been in Beijing for many years? You are still too simple to think about it. You are probably afraid that someone will be trapped and killed after you move the place!"
