Seeing the person coming, Yang Feng was a little stunned for a while, this person was none other than Cao Dazhong, who had not been seen for a long time.

Yang Feng, who came back to his senses, couldn't help but ask strangely, "Gonggong Cao, why are you here?" Could it be that the emperor sent you to be a prisoner again? ”

Cao Dazhong's pale and beardless face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he hesitated for a moment before he said: "Marquis Jiang Ning laughed, Your Majesty is so important to you, how can you send a prison army again." This time, our family came here at the behest of His Majesty, and we have discussed with you other important matters. ”

"Oh?"

Yang Feng looked Cao Dazhong up and down again, and the clothes on Cao Dazhong's body this time have changed again, although he is still wearing a royal blue eunuch costume, but there is another one on the sleeve of the sleeve that originally only had two red circles.

After coming here for so many years, Yang Feng's vision and insight are naturally not comparable to when he first came, the three red circles on the sleeves are not randomly embroidered, the three red circles represent that Cao Dazhong is now an official to the fourth grade, which is already the highest official position of a eunuch in the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing this, his heart moved, and he laughed: "Ben Hou hasn't congratulated Gonggong Cao on being promoted again, I don't know where Gonggong Cao is now?" ”

Yang Feng's words really scratched Cao Dazhong's itch, and he hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be a compliment to Hou Ye, since the last time I followed Hou Ye to Shengjing and returned to the capital, His Majesty saw that our family could be regarded as a Tartar outside the customs and had seen the world, so he rewarded our family with a messenger of the imperial horse eunuch and the eunuch." ”

"Eh, this is a good errand, it seems that Gonggong Cao is now a celebrity in front of the emperor."

Yang Feng showed a hint of surprise on his face.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were 24 eunuchs and palace affairs in the inner court, known as the 12 eunuchs, the 4 divisions and the 8 bureaus.

Among them, the celebrant who is "not in the name of the prime minister, but has the reality of the prime minister" is naturally the most majestic and powerful yamen in the inner court, and the second is this imperial horse supervisor.

One of the main functions of the Imperial Horse Supervisor is to go out on the expedition and hold the fire card of the soldiers, to put it bluntly, it is to control the military power of the inner court to lead the forbidden troops of the palace and protect the emperor when the emperor goes on the expedition.

How's that, this function is awesome, right? There's something even more awesome.

The Imperial Horse Supervisor also has a function, which is to supervise the Beijing camp and sit in the camp and supervise the gun.

This function is even more awesome, which means that the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp are also under the command of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. In the words of later generations, that is, it is still in charge of the troops around Beijing.

It was only after the Chenghua period that this function was withdrawn by the emperor under the strong opposition of the civil officials, but the imperial horse supervisor still retained the right to supervise the Beijing camp.

Of course, there can only be a lot of Imperial Horse Supervisors, so I won't go into detail here.

The Imperial Horse Supervisor is so awesome, and the person who can serve as the leader of the Imperial Horse Supervisor naturally has to be the emperor's confidant, which shows that Zhu Youxiao already trusts Cao Dazhong very much, so the look of surprise on Yang Feng's face is really not pretending.

Although Cao Dazhong was modest in his mouth, he couldn't hide the smug look on his face.

It's just that he was proud, but he didn't dare to take Qiao in front of Yang Feng at all, he knew too well about the ability of the master in front of him, not to mention the merits of the people for the Ming Dynasty and the friendship of His Majesty today, just by snatching Zhu Youxiao back from the hands of death, it was enough for Zhu Youxiao to treat him as a brother and teacher.

There are also rumors in the palace that Zhu Youxiao plans to let Yang Feng serve as the master of the emperor's eldest son in a few years, and the above two points alone can ensure the wealth of the Jiangning Marquis Mansion for at least a hundred years.

Taking two steps forward, Cao Dazhong leaned into Yang Feng's ear and whispered: "Master Hou, our family didn't come alone this time, and a few officials from the Ministry of Rites and Yamen came together." ”

"The people from the Ministry of Rites are also here."

Yang Feng couldn't help but be happy.

"Ben Hou is fighting here, what are the people from the Ministry of Rites coming to join in? Could it be that they also want to feel the atmosphere of Jin Ge Iron Horse, so that they can abandon their pen and follow Rong? ”

Cao Dazhong couldn't help but smile bitterly, Jiang Ninghou's attitude towards civil officials was still the same as always, and the sarcastic tone in and out of his words could even be heard by an idiot.

Before Cao Dazhong could speak, an irrepressible angry voice came from outside the door.

"The Marquis of Jiang Ning's words are wrong, this official and your colleagues came here to be sent by the emperor and the cabinet, why did they abandon their pen and say it? Could it be that the Marquis of Jiang Ning no longer takes His Majesty and the cabinet elders in his eyes now? ”

With the sound of words, several officials walked in, and the leader was wearing a scarlet robe with a patch embroidered with brocade chickens on his chest, about fifty years old, with a gentle and elegant temperament, which made people feel good at first sight.

This person Yang Feng didn't know, but after seeing the person behind him, Yang Feng's face became ugly, this person was none other than Qian Qianyi, the backbone of the Donglin Party.

I saw Yang Feng's lightning eyes shoot on Cao Dazhong, and he said unhappily: "Could it be that there is no one in the imperial court available, and he will actually re-use a villain like Qian Qianyi as an official?" ”

Seeing Yang Feng so faceless, Cao Dazhong almost cried, "Master Hou, our family is just a eunuch, how can we have such great ability." ”

Seeing that Yang Feng didn't give himself face at all, Qian Qianyi's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Marquis Jiangning, the official position of this official is given by the imperial court and His Majesty, Marquis Jiangning, are you questioning Your Majesty's decision?" ”

Yang Feng pursed his lips: "It's not enough to question, but there are too many villains around Your Majesty, and it is not impossible to be deceived by others." It seems that it is necessary for Benhou to report to His Majesty after returning to Beijing in the future, like the kind of people who cheat and cheat in the scientific field, they must resolutely eliminate the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Qian Qianyi trembled with anger, glared at Yang Feng and shouted, "You...... You are presumptuous! ”

"I think you're presumptuous!"

A loud shout came out of Yang Feng's mouth, but it startled everyone.

I saw him pointing at Qian Qianyi and shouting: "On the title, this marquis is the marquis of Jiangning, who is enshrined by His Majesty, and on the official position, this marquis is the governor of Zhengyipin, the governor of Nanjing, and the chief military officer of Nanjing. ”

"You...... You ......"

Qian Qianyi was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while, but fortunately, the official headed by him hurriedly came out to play a round, only to see him bow towards Yang Feng and arch his hand: "Jiangning Hou is angry, as the saying goes, no one is perfect, although Lord Qian has been reprimanded before."

But this time the reinstatement of the capable official was also agreed by His Majesty, even if the Hou Ye was displeased, he should not care about it for His Majesty's sake, and the lower official thanked him in advance. ”

With that, he made another gesture towards Yang Feng.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out your hand, seeing that the other party is a dignified second-grade member who continues to salute him, Yang Feng is embarrassed to get angry again if he doesn't wait to see Qian Qianyi.

Only then did his face soften, and he arched his hand and said, "I don't know what this adult is called!" ”

"Don't dare, Wen Tiren, the secretary of the Ministry of Lower Rites!"

"Ah......h
