Chapter 644: It's actually him
When Yang Feng saw the visitor, he was a little stunned for a moment. This person was nothing but Cao Dazhong who hadn't seen for a long time.
Yang Feng, who came to his senses, couldn't help but ask strangely: "Eunuch Cao, why are you here? Could it be that the emperor sent you to be a military supervisor again?"
Cao Dazhong showed a hint of embarrassment on his pale face, and hesitated for a moment before he said, "Marquis Jiangning is joking. How much does Your Majesty value you? How could he send a military supervisor again? This time we came here to discuss with you with your Majesty's order."
"oh?"
Yang Feng looked at Cao Dazhong up and down again. This time, Cao Dazhong's clothes changed again. Although he was still wearing royal blue eunuch clothing, there was one more on the sleeves that were originally only two red circles.
After so many years of coming here, Yang Feng's vision and insight are naturally not comparable to when he first came. The three red circles on the sleeves were not embroidered casually. The three red circles mean that Cao Dazhong is now at the fourth rank, and he is already the highest official position of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing this, he moved his heart and laughed: "I haven't congratulated Eunuch Cao on his promotion yet. I wonder where Eunuch Cao is now?"
Yang Feng's words really touched Cao Dazhong's itch. He quickly bowed and said, "I dare not be a marquis to praise him. Since he followed the marquis to Shengjing to return to the capital last time, His Majesty saw that our family had passed the Tartars outside the pass and had seen the world, so he rewarded our family with the admiral and eunuch."
"Oh, this is a good job. It seems that Eunuch Cao is now a celebrity in front of the emperor."
A hint of surprise appeared on Yang Feng's face.
There were twenty-four eunuchs and intra-palace affairs institutions in the Ming Dynasty, and they were known as the Twelve Supervisors, Four Divisions and Eighth Bureaus.
Among them, the Silijian, which "has no name as prime minister, but the reality of prime minister", is naturally the most powerful and powerful yamen in the inner court, and the second place is the Imperial Horse Prison.
One of the main functions of the Imperial Horse Supervision is to take charge of military talismans and fire cards. To put it bluntly, it is to take charge of the military power of the inner court to command the imperial guards in the palace and protect the emperor when the emperor goes to war.
How about it, this function is very awesome? There are even more awesome.
The Imperial Horse Supervision also has another function, which is to supervise the Beijing camp and the camp, and to monitor the guns.
This function is even more awesome, meaning that the troops in the Beijing camp are also under the command of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. In the words of later generations, it is still in charge of the troops around Beijing.
However, after the Chenghua period, under the strong opposition of civil servants, this function was taken back by the emperor, but the Imperial Horse Supervision still retained the power to supervise the Beijing camp.
Of course, there are only a lot of people in the Imperial Horse Prison, so I won’t go into details here.
The Imperial Horse Prison is so awesome that the person who can serve as the top leader of the Imperial Horse Prison is naturally the emperor's confidant. This shows that Zhu Youchao has already trusted Cao Dazhong very much, so the look of surprise on Yang Feng's face is really not pretending.
Although Cao Dazhong was modest, his pride on his face could not be concealed.
But he was proud, but he didn't dare to take Qiao in front of Yang Feng at all. He was very clear about the ability of the master in front of him. Not to mention the contribution he made to the Ming Dynasty and his current friendship with His Majesty, just by snatching Zhu Youxiao back from the God of Death is enough to make Zhu Youxiao treat him as a brother and a teacher.
There are also rumors in the palace that Zhu Youxiao plans to let Yang Feng be the master of the eldest son in a few years, and the above two points alone can protect the wealth of the Marquis of Jiangning's Mansion for at least one hundred years.
After taking two steps forward, Cao Dazhong leaned into Yang Feng's ear and whispered: "Mr. Marquis, our family is not alone this time. There are also several officials from the Ministry of Rites. "
"The people from the Ministry of Rites are here too."
Yang Feng couldn't help but feel excited.
"I am fighting here, why are the people from the Ministry of Rites joining in the fun? Could it be that they also want to feel the atmosphere of gold and iron horses, so as to abandon their pens and join the army?"
Cao Dazhong couldn't help but smile bitterly. Jiang Ning Hou's attitude towards civil servants was still as consistent as ever, and even an idiot could hear the sarcastic tone inside and outside.
Before Cao Dazhong could speak, an uncontrollable anger came from outside the door.
"Marquis Jiangning is such a bad statement. I and my colleagues came here and were sent by the emperor and the cabinet. How could I say that I would give up my pen and join the army? Could it be that Marquis Jiangning no longer takes His Majesty and the cabinet masters seriously now?"
As the words were heard, several officials walked in. The leader was wearing a robe and embroidered with a pheasant on his chest. He was about fifty years old, and his gentle and elegant temperament made people feel good at seeing it.
Yang Feng didn't recognize this person, but Yang Feng's face became ugly after seeing the person following him. This person was no one else, Qian Qianyi, the backbone of the Donglin Party.
Yang Feng's lightning-like eyes shot at Cao Dazhong and said unhappily: "Is there no one in the court available? Will he re-activate villains like Qian Qianyi as an official?"
Seeing Yang Feng so disrespectful to him, Cao Dazhong almost cried, "Marty, our family is just a eunuch, how could he have such great ability?"
Seeing that Yang Feng did not give him any face at all, Qian Qianyi's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth and said, "Marty Jiangning, my official position is given by the court, and it was given by His Majesty. Marty Jiangning, are you questioning Your Majesty's decision?"
Yang Feng curled his lips: "It's not a matter of doubt, but there are too many villains around Your Majesty, and it's not impossible to be deceived. It seems that this marquis will need to tell His Majesty the future after returning to Beijing. For example, those who cheat in the imperial examination must resolutely eliminate the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty."
Qian Qianyi was so angry that she trembled all over, stared at Yang Feng and shouted: "You...you are arrogant!"
"I think you are just being presumptuous!"
A sharp shout came out of Yang Feng's mouth, but it scared everyone.
He pointed at Qian Qianyi and shouted: "In terms of title, this marquis is the Marquis of Jiangning, His Majesty, and In terms of official positions, this marquis is the Grand Governor of the First-rank Envoy, and Nanjing General Officer. It would be fine if you, a mere third-rank official, would not be polite to me when you see me, but you dare to question me. I want to ask who is the rude! "
"You...you..."
Qian Qianyi was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while. Fortunately, the official in charge quickly came out to smooth things over. He bowed to Yang Feng and said, "Jiang Ning Hou calmed down. As the saying goes, no one is perfect. Although Lord Qian had been scolded before.
But His Majesty agreed to the reinstatement of his post. Even if the Marquis is unhappy, he should not care about his Majesty's sake. The emperor thanks in advance."
After saying that, he bowed to Yang Feng again.
As the saying goes, if you don’t hit someone with a smile, you will see a second-rank official bowing to him continuously, Yang Feng just doesn’t like Qian Qianyi anymore and is embarrassed to get angry again.
Then his expression calmed down and bowed, "I don't know what this adult is calling me!"
"I dare not, I am the Minister of Rites Wen Tiren!"
