Just after the New Year's ceremony, before receiving Mu Ningxue's gift, Xu Hao was summoned to enter the palace to serve.

On the first day of work, the family attached great importance to it and rushed to Fushouju.

Zhu Qiaoqiao, whose husband still did not return, came the earliest, quietly pulled Xu Hao's sleeve, and said: "After entering the palace, I will arrange for people to find your eldest brother immediately, and you must arrest and take him home tonight." ”

The old lady and Xiao Shi looked at this side with a smile, Xu Hao let the maids serve and change their clothes, and said with a wry smile: "Abuse of private power just after going to work? Sister-in-law, you really can. ”

"I don't care, anyway, you have to get people back for me." Zhu Qiaoqiao whispered angrily again: "God knows if he will be infected with a dirty disease?" You go back and invite me a reputable imperial doctor to come home. ”

"Yes." Xu Hao reluctantly agreed, and reluctantly put on the bullfighting clothes made by Zhulan and them, which were bright and dazzling.

Like the people, the Forbidden City, covered in a layer of snow, is immersed in the festivities before the Spring Festival, and the towers are hung with strings of red palace lanterns.

Xu Hao looks like a teenage boy, even if he is wearing an official uniform, he still has no official authority, fortunately, he looks good and has a good head, and his spirit is full of vitality, otherwise he will be laughed at and crowned by people.

The first thing he did when he took office, he naturally wanted to meet the emperor, and Xu Hao didn't care whether his identity was enough or not, so he went straight to the Qianqing Palace to wait according to his habits.

Today is the 28th day of the lunar month, and the yamen of the court have already closed their doors, except for the relevant officials, the civil and military officials will not go to work until the 16th day of the first lunar month, and even some idle yamen have a full month of winter vacation.

In the past, when he was the vanguard of the government army, Xu Hao's duty was to guard the imperial field, which was boring and relaxed. Because he doesn't like to go to the court to stand guard. It's too stupid to be motionless. In addition, when the learned civil officials start playing, they like to speak some obscure classical Chinese. Add in a variety of local accents and it sounds like a lullaby.

The snow in front of the Qianqing Palace was swept away by the small yellow door. The field is covered with a thick layer of snow. Unexpectedly, Comrade Lao Zhu gave himself a vacation and went to the inner palace to accompany his youngest daughter.

Xu Hao pondered, first of all, he was underage, and it seemed that he had the qualifications to enter and leave the palace?

The second is one of the two commanders of the Jinyi Guard, as the emperor's henchman and favorite dog, go in to talk to Comrade Lao Zhu, it should be fine, right?

As a result, Xu Hao turned around and went to the noon gate, in fact, he was indeed qualified to enter and exit Neiwan, because he had a gold medal with a face character. Even in the middle of the night, you can break into the imperial palace.

But there is no emergency, why do you want to run over to see Comrade Zhu's stinky face? Wait to be summoned, I won't notify myself to enter the palace for no reason.

Now the phoenix that has landed in Jinyi is not as good as a chicken, and nearly 1,000 people are all crowded into the noon gate to guard, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. The flying fish suits that I was proud of in the past can no longer be worn, and everyone is dressed in ordinary guard clothes, all of them listless.

Jin Yiwei has always been famous for his arrogance and no one in his eyes, but at this moment, he is majestic, facing Xu Hao, a young boss. No one had the heart to step forward.

Xu Hao pointed to the small flag led by a group of Jinyi guards who came from the patrol and asked, "Where is Lord Ouyang now?" ”

That Xiaoqi was in his thirties, and said in a deep voice: "Go back to your lordship, the commander asked for leave and returned to his hometown." Not in the capital. ”

"Oh."

Xu Hao waved his hand, let them continue to patrol, and walked straight towards the city tower.

For Ouyang Lun. Xu Hao didn't plan to be nice to the other party. There is no impermeable wall in this world, when Mei Yin interrogated Zhang Lin that day. The conversation between the two was secretly transmitted to the Yanwang Mansion by a eunuch. Monk Daoyan thought that Xu Hao should be informed, otherwise he would die in the hands of the horse for no reason. It's a pity.

In addition, there is also the concubine Fu Zhong, who wants to let himself die, and Xu Hao regards them as enemies.

Now because of the identity of the other party, Xu Hao can only choose to be patient, and if he has no chance of hitting the shot, he will never make a move

Ascending the city tower, Xu Hao looked outside, taking in the entire prosperous capital, and his spirit was lifted.

Ouyang Lun is an outlier among the concubines, he is not from the noble family, but was selected by Zhu Yuanzhang as a concubine by virtue of Jinshi and Di, probably because Princess Anqing, who was born to Queen Ma, likes literati.

According to the information obtained, Ouyang Lun's hometown is in Shaanxi, it is said that he used to be just an ordinary scholarly family, and his family was not wealthy, and his family was very poor when he was a child, and he was hungry and full, so Ouyang Lun was very stingy and thrifty, and extremely greedy for money.

There is a joke among the royal family that Ouyang Lun refers to, when he first got married, Ouyang Lun didn't want to use money to curry favor with the steward Gong E, in fact, at that time, it only cost a few taels of silver, it was nothing more than a celebration, unlike the palace people who later evolved into a means of collecting money for the palace people.

Ouyang Lun would rather run to sleep alone than spend money, Gong E had no choice but to say that we don't want this happy money, please come into the house! I don't want Ouyang Lun to have a lot of eyes, thinking that in the future, I will have to be blackmailed by them repeatedly, no, I can't go, unless the princess gives the money for me.

The princess's dowry has always been taken care of by a special person, not incorporated into the husband's family after marriage, and generally speaking, the concubine has no inheritance and domination.

Princess Baoqing, who was alone in the empty boudoir, was annoyed when she heard it, didn't the concubine have any money? is rich, since Ouyang Lun won the promotion, the whole family has followed the wind and water, not to mention that there are rewards and favors from the emperor when they get married, etc., and they can't take out a few taels of silver? It's simply impossible.

As a result, the couple was in such a stalemate for three days, which frightened the palace people and hurriedly ran to report to Queen Ma.

Queen Ma was angry and laughed when she heard this, so she took out her own silver and rewarded the palace people, and said with a smile that the horse is saved, and these rules will be forgotten in the future, don't embarrass him.

Later, Queen Ma told Comrade Lao Zhu about this as a joke, and Comrade Lao Zhu was quite happy at the time, thinking that her son-in-law would live a life if she was thrifty by nature.

But then Comrade Zhu was not happy, Ouyang Lun was not only stingy but also made money, and in a few years, he repaired the horse mansion beautifully, with a group of slaves, living in luxury, how can he still be a thrifty person?

Zhu Yuanzhang also sent Jinyiwei to secretly investigate Ouyang Lun, and learned that he relied on his identity as a horse to resell tea and other luxury goods, thinking of the deceased Queen Ma and her daughter. didn't bother with his son-in-law, but he didn't reuse Ouyang Lun anymore.

Thinking about Ouyang Lun, Xu Hao stood for half an hour. When he first arrived, everyone in the brocade guards standing guard around him was stunned.

Jinyiwei has always been a self-contained system. It has its own clerical officials and its own yamen, which is nominally subordinate to the Governor's Office, and then divided into five with the Governor's Office, which is actually directly controlled by the emperor alone, and the Yamen is called the pro-military Governor's Office.

Nowadays, most of the civilian officials have been abolished or merged into the Criminal Department, and the remaining people are in charge of the archives and receiving information from all over the country, except for the powerful honor guard of Kong Wu, the Tianwu Army, which was able to stay in the Qianqing Palace, that is, the later Han generals.

The rest of the front, center, left and right guards were reduced to ordinary guards. Each guard has its own generals and deputy generals and small flags at all levels, and there is no need to worry about daily drills. And at this moment when there is nothing to do, Xu Hao doesn't know what he should do?

The seventeen-year-old trial town envoy looked like a joke no matter how he looked at it, and Xu Hao, who had nothing to do, went to the yamen and found his own office space, a slightly cramped small study.

Soon a middle-aged clerk came over and talked about the duties of Jinyiwei and so on, Xu Hao noticed that he and Ouyang Lun had added a test word before their official positions. That is, it is only an internship period at the moment.

The secretary talked for a long time, only to find that the new calmer made the adult's eyes straighten and wandered. Said helplessly: "Your Excellency's personal guard has been assigned by the commander. A total of twenty people are led by two small banners, all of whom are strong and loyal people in martial arts. ”

Xu Hao suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's a trivial matter." Don't bother with the command, my own personal guard should be my own designator. One is called Shi Feng and the other is Mu Hui. The official positions are all small flags, and you go down and send them to bring their men over. ”

The secretary hesitated and said, "It's not appropriate!" Your Excellency has just come to Yamen. Just disobey the good intentions of the commander, I'm afraid it will be in the future??"

Xu Hao looked at him with a smile and said with a smile: "Why can't I disobey?" Could it be that you mean that you want me to get close to the commander, so that my Jinyi Guard will become close and intimate from now on, and I will be united and ironclad, right?

The secretary's heart sank, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said: "It's no wonder that the subordinates are too talkative, the adults have the right to choose their own personal guards, and the subordinates will do it." ”

Looking at the bookseller who left in a hurry, Xu Hao slowly put away his smile, no matter what kind of consideration, he couldn't look at his boss Ouyang Lun, and even had to work against his boss from time to time, he was worried that once he followed the rules, it would cause Zhu Yuanzhang's killing intent.

Zhu Yuanzhang let himself be a brocade guard, and he knew that he would definitely do something unsightly. What the emperor needs is a bold and careful killer, not an honest military attaché.

The table was full of dust, except for the four treasures of the study, Xu Hao thought that the room was stuffy and cold, got up and went outside, and then wandered around in the yamen.

If you want to have something to do, then there is something to do, but Xu Hao has the idea of eating and waiting for death, so he doesn't ask anything or care.

Without waiting for the designated guards to come to report, I saw a herald father-in-law running over panting, shouting from afar: "Lord Xu, the saint will see you." ”

Beiping Yanwang Mansion.

In the study, Zhu Di walked around with his hands behind his back, and Monk Daoyan looked down at the secret report he had just gotten.

Soon, Monk Daoyan raised his head and said: "The poor monk has a hunch that this winter banquet will cause trouble, but he can't guess Xu Hao's role in it?" ”

Zhu Di stopped and muttered: "No, the winter banquet is the great celebration of the country, how could Bixia choose this time to attack the heroes?" Not to mention instructing Xu Hao to openly commit murder in the palace, it is absolutely impossible. ”

Monk Daoyan said: "Naturally, the assassination will not, according to the poor monk's guess, Xu Hao will definitely provoke people for no reason first, which will set off a storm and give the saint an excuse to kill." ”

Zhu Di nodded and said: "It coincides with the king's speculation, it seems that the father and his old man are a little urgent, is it the dragon body of the father?" ”

Monk Daoyan said categorically: "No matter what, the prince has to speed up the layout, and the opportunity must not be lost and not come again." ”

Zhu Di sneered: "Zhu Yunwen has been assisting in state affairs recently, and he has begun to do things quietly. It's ridiculous that a few literati think they are secrets, and they are useless scholars.

What qualifications does a mere royal grandson have to inherit the throne? If the son is allowed to be the emperor, then my royal family will mess up the legal system, and there will be no peace in the future. (To be continued......)

PS: Yikes! I forgot to ask for a commuter pass.

Anyway, the monthly pass has to be begged, and the little hairpin promises to add more and more, and fight.
