Amid the loud gongs, a team of furious horses appeared on the street. The black yellow dragon flag in the middle was particularly eye-catching. In front of the team were more than a dozen Jinyiwei wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring swords. They whipped the horses and were quite majestic. Seeing this, the pedestrians hid on both sides of the street and stopped in awe.

Li Daren and Yan Shifan in the restaurant looked at each other. Looking at this posture, they should be a big shot from the capital. After all, those who are qualified to fight the Xuanhuang Dragon Banner are not only imperial relatives, but also imperial envoys who are ordered to go out to Beijing to handle the mission, and are also equipped with Jinyiwei ceremonial guards. It can be seen that it is not an ordinary job, and it is probably related to Xu Jin.

After more than a dozen Jinyiweisers in charge of the pioneering path, there was a team of Jinyiweisers behind him, surrounded by a civil servant wearing a green official robe. The civil servant was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Although he was short, his face was white, his eyes were full of spirit, and his demeanor was extremely extraordinary.

Yan Shifan exclaimed lightly when he saw this person, and blurted out: "So it's him."

The three of them looked at Yan Shifan in unison. Jiang Ba said curiously: "Fatty Yan, do you know this imperial envoy?"

Yan Shifan nodded with a complicated expression and said, "This person is Xu Jie. He passed the imperial examination in the second year of Jiajing. He was a bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy last year. But he didn't know what position he holds now."

Although Yan Shifan is an exile now, he was born in the capital, so it is not surprising that he knew the imperial envoy from the capital. Jiang Ba General smashed his tongue and said, "It is said that Duke Jingguo Xu Jin was the one who won the first place in Tanhua for five yuan in a row. Now Xu Jie is also a Tanhualang. Tsk tsk, why are the ones with the surname Xu so powerful?"

Li Daren said calmly: "There are only a few celebrities in the world, and the most prominent surnames in history are the Li and Yang. The Xu family cannot be ranked."

Ma Baihu glanced at Li Daren strangely. Who was not afraid of the ordinary people when they saw the imperial envoy from the capital? In addition, with Duke Jingguo's reputation and prestige in the Ming Dynasty, who was not afraid of it? He seemed to be indifferent to the merchant in front of him and said contempt, which was a bit abnormal.

Obviously, he noticed Ma Baihu's eyes strange, Yan Shifan quickly smiled and interrupted, "That's right, Sui, Yang, Li and Tang, both of these surnames have been named the True Dragon Emperor. They are the great surnames in the world. Compared with Li and Yang, the surname Xu is still a little worse."

Li Daren also realized that something was wrong at this time, and laughed and changed the topic: "The imperial envoy arrived. It is probably a big deal to happen. Let's see if you look back. However, this has nothing to do with us ordinary people in the market. Come on, let's continue drinking!"

Jiang Barman smiled and said, "By the way, drinking is more important, it's all!"

The four of them drank a glass of wine. Li Daren put the wine glass in his hand and glanced at Ma Baihu from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that the latter was still calm, he couldn't help but frown and thought to himself: "This Ma Baihu is too smart. It may be a bad thing to keep it there. Why not find a chance to settle this person."

…………

It is said that Xu Jie was ordered to leave the capital on the tenth day of June and went to Yanran Mountain to issue an order. In order to ensure the safety of the road, Jiajing also specially sent 100 Jinyiwei and 500 battalions to protect him. In order to deliver the imperial edict to Xu Jin as soon as possible, Xu Jie chose to ride a horse all the way. Despite this, it took half a month to arrive in Suzhou. Today is June 25th.

Let’s talk about Xu Jie’s arrival in Suzhou City, he was personally received by Wu Changwei, the commander of Suzhou Guard. However, after asking, he learned that Duke Jingguo Xu Jin was now in Dunhuang, so he set off to continue his journey.

Wu Changwei, commander of Suzhou Guard, quickly advised: "This is more than 800 miles to Dunhuang, and it is more than 500 miles to Guazhou. It is already afternoon now. It is probably dark before Lord Xu arrived in Guazhou. Why not rest in Suzhou City for one night and leave the customs tomorrow morning?"

Xu Jie hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and finally decided to rest in the city for one night. As a result, the Jinyiwei and the soldiers who accompanied him were all happy. After all, after rushing for half a month, it would be absolutely a lie to say that he didn't work hard.

There was nothing to say all night. Before dawn the next day, Xu Jie set out again and left Jiayuguan to travel west to Guazhou. To be on the safe side, the commander of Suzhou Guard Wu Weijia sent a thousand guards to accompany him to protect him. After all, he was an imperial envoy from the capital. If something went wrong, he, the commander of Suzhou Guard, should have ended.

Let’s talk about Xu Jie traveling west with his imperial edict in the evening. He finally arrived at Guazhou City. Jing Dachu, the general of Xuanfu, who had already received the news, left the city to greet him, and sent a quick horse to Dunhuang overnight.

After staying in Guazhou City for one night, the next morning, Jing Dachu sent troops to escort Xu Jie to Dunhuang, not daring to be careless at all!

On the afternoon of the 27th year of the sixth year of Jiajing, the imperial envoy Xu Jie finally arrived outside Dunhuang City.

Looking at the Dunhuang ancient city in front of him that was still being restored after the war, Xu Tanhua couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. When he was ordered to leave the capital, he thought that Xu Jin was still at the foot of Yanran Mountain. As a result, in just half a month of his journey, Xu Jin had already led his troops south and took back Guazhou and Dunhuang from the Turpan people. Xu Changsheng really was not a false reputation!

But... I was too anxious to use Turpan's military force, and I also suspected of arbitrary power. I guess there will be many people who impeach him in the court now!

Although Xu Jie had a good relationship with Xu Jin, he was not a member of Xu Jin or a political ally. In fact, since Xu Jin entered the court as an official, he spent most of his time leading troops outside to fight, and he spent very little time in the court. In addition, he did not deliberately form cliques, so he is still a "lonely" in the court. Since Fei Shi retired, Xia Yan may be the only official in the court who had close ties with Xu Jin in the court, but the two of them were not considered political alliances.

Xia Yan has his own opinions and ambitions, and he may not necessarily obey Xu Jinyan. Now that he has joined the cabinet and is even more shameful to listen to Xu Jin.

Some people may say that Xu Jin is now the Duke of the State, and he has not established his own power in the court and has not subdued a group of younger brothers to serve him. It is really a failure. However, the fact is just the opposite. For Xu Jin, not forming cliques is the smartest way. With his prestige and connections that no one can match in the army, if he forms cliques in the court, it is the real way to seek death.

Therefore, Xu Jin did not need close political allies in the court, but only a gentleman who knew each other, and the conversation between gentlemen was like water. If you had to say that Xu Jin needed a political allies, that was Jiajing himself, who was like-minded with the emperor, that was the most stable political allies.

In this regard, Xu Jie and Xu Jin have similarities. Xu Jie was a firm royalist party in the court, who was alone and never formed cliques. This may be one of the reasons why Jiajing liked him.

It is worth mentioning here that Xu Jie is now a bachelor's degree in Hanlin Academy and also serves as the Grand Secretary of Zuo Chunfang, Zhanshifu. He is the future candidate for the imperial teacher. This shows how Jiajing valued him. Of course, the reason why Jiajing valued Xu Jie was also due to Xu Jin's recommendation.

Just as Xu Jin admired Xu Jie, Xu Jie also admired Xu Jin very much. However, seeing that Xu Jin was unstoppable all the way, first defeating the Tatars, then asking the Oirat to cede land and paying for land, and then rushing to Turpan, Xu Jie could not help but worry that Xu Jin would become more arrogant and eventually lose himself!

You should know which one in history who will eventually have a good ending because of his achievements? Lan Yu is a ready-made example. He became more arrogant and arrogant in his military achievements. He even occupied the Yuan concubine and destroyed the pass. He was eventually ordered to be killed by Emperor Taizu for his crime of treason. He even peeled the skin and spread it to the world. More than 15,000 people were implicated and killed.

Let’s talk about Xu Jie entering Dunhuang City with concern and came to the temporary marshal’s mansion. As a result, he saw Xu Jin leading the generals to wait there, wearing a jade-colored shirt and a square flat scarf. He was calm and elegant, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face, and was a once approachable person.

In an instant, the little worry in Xu Jie's heart disappeared and the slack was gone. Xu Jin in front of him looked like he was arrogant. As the Duke, he actually went out to greet him in person.

Xu Jie hurriedly dismounted and quickly walked forward to salute and said, "Secretary Xu Jie, please see Duke Jingguo!"

Xu Jin bowed and returned the gift, and smiled and said, "Zi Sheng doesn't have to be too polite. You have to be tired from the journey. You can sit and rest when you go in. I have prepared a banquet to welcome Zi Sheng."

Xu Jie was inevitably flattered and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Duke Jingguo, but it's important to do the important thing first."

Xu Jin nodded after hearing this and ordered someone to put on the incense table. Then Xu Jie took out a volume of imperial edict, cleared his throat and said loudly: "General Pinglu, Duke Jingguo Xu Jin received the edict."

Xu Jin knelt on the ground as soon as he lifted the hem of his clothes, and the generals behind him also knelt down to wait for the order.

"Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, the imperial edict said:..."

Xu Jie read the imperial edict aloud, and Xu Jin and others bowed their heads and listened carefully. Jiajing's imperial edict praised Xu Jin and the achievements of the generals, and announced that the title of Sanhad, the leader of the Ola Choros tribe, was named King Shunming, and the leader of the Dulbert tribe, Torohuo, was the king of Anle.

All the generals couldn't help but feel happy. King Shunming and King Anle, Shunming will be happy. Haha, I guess Sanhad and Toro Huo will be disgusted!

After reading the first imperial edict, Xu Jie immediately took out the second imperial edict. This imperial edict was a reward to all generals. Xie Sanqin and Pei Xingjin were both named Earls, but they could not be inherited. As for Xie Erjian, Qi Jingtong, Wang Lin'er, and Yu Linsheng, they had been awarded Earls back then, and this time they were all changed to hereditary earls. However, according to the merits, the earl's treatment was also of high or low. Among them, Xie Erjian and Wang Lin'er were given high and 1,000 stones of food.

After the imperial edict was read out, all the generals who were rewarded were excited and kowtowed to thank them!

However, it is strange that all the generals participating in this Northern Expedition have rewards, including Cen Lan, but the coach Xu Jin does not, oh, Bing Niuer does not!
