After the meeting, everyone dispersed with different feelings.

The summer south faction is clearly the biggest winner. He himself planned to be knighted as the prince of the country, increase the governor of the capital to participate in politics, and take the generals to supervise the soldiers and horses of the world, grasp the military and politics, and become a real person under 10,000 people, standing at the top of the Ming power pyramid; Wen Tiren continued to sit firmly in the position of first assistant and became the most effective assistant in the Southern Dynasty in the summer; Fang Zhenghua was promoted to the eunuch in charge of the seal of the celebrant and the commander of the East Factory, although it was not mentioned in the court, but this kind of personnel arrangement does not need to be discussed by the court, and can be directly ordered by the emperor, which is already a certainty, which is equivalent to placing helpers in the palace for Xia Nan, and also mastering the secret service; Although Chen Xinjia, the newly baked secretary of the military department, is not a descendant, the momentum of getting closer is very obvious, which is equivalent to adding a big boost to the camp. In this way, the military, government, and special forces are all in their hands, and Xia Nan's actual power is even greater than that of the emperor.

The rest of the people were not in a good mood. Zhu Cihong came with great interest and returned disappointed; Yang Sichang was knocked down from the clouds and fell into the dust; The civil and military officials who were not affected were also uncomfortable, and usually the emperor could not completely control their courtiers, but the Marquis of Pingnan, who had a gun in his hand, had the momentum of covering the sky with one hand, and their lives would not be easy in the future.

Xia Nan naturally didn't take into account the feelings of these people, he smiled and walked out side by side with Wen Tiren and the others, discussing the next arrangements along the way - now that he is full of wings and power, he naturally doesn't need to be taboo anymore, even if he openly has an alliance with Wen Tiren, he is not afraid of anyone slandering - the fact is as he expected, their group of people are big and loud side by side, and the rest of the ministers are far away, not daring to approach, not even daring to point fingers. Only Chen Xinjia regarded himself as a member of the Pingnanhou family, ignoring the eyes of others, and joined this line with a shy face.

He said to Wen Tiren: "Ge Lao, our goal has basically been achieved, and there are only some minor problems left, so it is better to strike while the iron is hot and solve them together." Dongchang has fallen into the hands of Fangzhenghua, and I don't want to let go of Jinyiwei. I went out this time and brought several subordinates from Qiongzhou to the capital, one of them was named Zhou Guoxin, who was a former Jinyiwei Guangzhou Baihu, loyal and capable, this time I wanted him to take charge of Jinyiwei in one step and directly take charge of Jinyiwei. ”

Wen Tiren pondered for a while, and cautiously persuaded: "Jinyiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, although his status is not as good as before, but it is still very important. According to common sense, foreign ministers cannot touch it. However, now the situation is special, the Son of Heaven is weak, and it is not impossible for Pingnanhou to want to intervene, but it is too sensational to let a hundred households from other provinces take charge of the Jinyi Guard in the capital. It's better to listen to the old man's advice, don't be in a hurry, at least on the surface, give the Son of Heaven some face......"

Xia Nan thought for a while and said, "What Elder Ge said is also reasonable, we can't be too ugly when we eat." Otherwise, let Zhou Baihu be transferred to the capital Jinyi Wei to serve as the commander or pacification envoy, and make a transition, and let the position of the commander be let the former Qianhu Wei Zhong sit - this Wei Qianhu was captured by me and sent to Qiongzhou to polish it, and it is quite obedient, and it is easier to control than Luo Yangxing and others. ”

Wen Tiren breathed a sigh of relief: "It's much better this way." Since Wei Zhong is one of the 14,000 households in Jinyiwei, his qualifications are there, although it is too fast to be promoted to the fourth level in a row, it is better than a hundred households from other places to ascend to the sky in one step. Luo Yangxing is the person of the first emperor, and it is indeed not suitable to continue to stay in the position of the commander, so he can find a way to send him to retire. ”

The two of them decided in a few words the choice of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, as well as the candidate for the new commander, which seemed to be an understatement, but when Chen Xinjia, who was following behind, heard it, he suddenly set off a storm in his heart, and his jaw couldn't close - the factory guard has always been a forbidden body in the hands of the emperor, and it is also a sharp weapon to deal with hundreds of officials, and his personnel appointment and dismissal, foreign ministers can never touch it, but in the eyes of Pingnanhou, it is as simple as eating and drinking, which shows how strong this Pingnanhou is. Chen Xinjia couldn't help but be very happy, fortunately he put all the bets on Ping Nanhou, this bet is right, and his future career will definitely have a bright future.

After Xia Nan finished talking about Jinyiwei's arrangement, he remembered another thing, and turned his head to search: "What about the new Shangshu of the military department?" ”

Chen Xinjia took three steps and made two steps, trotted forward, bowed his head and said, "Xinjia is here, what does Pingnanhou command?" ”

Xia Nan saw his little appearance, smiled, and said, "Although the appointment has not yet come down, you have to take care of the affairs of the military department first." Since Your Majesty trusts me and asks me to be the governor of the world, then the armies in various places will accept my unified reorganization and arrangement, and we will go to your yamen to discuss the details in detail. ”

Chen Xinjia smiled, Pingnanhou went down to the court to discuss important matters with him, indicating that he had accepted him, so he naturally had to work hard to handle this mission. He respectfully stretched out his hand to greet him: "Please move the Yamen of the Pingnan Hou Infantry Department, and the lower officials will gather the chief officers of all the departments to listen to the lectures of the Pingnan Hou." ”

"Hehe, don't dare to speak properly, the military department is the boss of our generals, Chen Butang's words torture me."

Wen Tiren saw that Xia Nan was going to the military department, so he said: "Then the old man will go to the cabinet, gather his colleagues, and set the respect and functions of the general of Pingnan Hou." ”

Xia Nan arched his hand and said: "It depends on the old pavilion." ”

The group parted ways in the square outside the Jinluan Palace, Xia Nan took Chen Xinjia to the military department, and Wen Tiren went to the cabinet by the way.

After arriving at the cabinet, Wen Tiren ordered people to invite other bachelors. Not long after, several cabinet members arrived. These people are all human spirits, and they know that they will definitely be summoned, so after they dispersed, they wandered outside the palace and did not leave the palace directly.

Wen Tiren has already torn off his disguise, clarified his relationship with Xia Nan, and did not talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "I will invite you to come after the dispersal of the dynasty, because I have to work hard for you to finalize the things that Your Majesty has explained." ”

Wang Yingxiong is a gentle and benevolent person, and he took the lead in saying: "Why bother working for state affairs? Is it for the Marquis of Pingnan to be the general and the governor of the world's soldiers and horses, right? Although there is no precedent for this matter, it is not difficult, but it is necessary to settle the respect first. ”

Although respect and fame are just a formality, Pingnanhou is so strong that everyone dare not despise it, and they all racked their brains to think about it.

Qian Shisheng said tentatively: "Why don't you call Zhenyuan or Pingyuan?" ”

Wen Tiren directly denied: "These are the commonly used names of the four generals, how can they be worthy of Pingnanhou." ”

Wu Zongda said slowly: "When this dynasty was founded, there were great generals, but they were not unusual, and now they are just fixing the temporary envoys and expanding the power to lead the troops, so why don't you just use them?" ”

Wen Tiren asked: "I'm really ashamed, this official doesn't remember what the general had to respect when he founded the country, but does Wu Ge still remember?" ”

"The founding fathers of this dynasty, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others have held this position - called to be the general of the conquest!"
