Instructed the little eunuch to move the tea table and chaise longue to the courtyard, and burned two incense sticks of peace on the side to drive away mosquitoes, lay on the rocking chair, drank tea comfortably, enjoyed the cool breeze, and he was very satisfied with everything at present.

But this comfort did not last long, and was soon broken by a slight sound from outside the courtyard, Bai Gonggong frowned slightly, very displeased, a white lantern appeared at the gate of the courtyard, Bai Gonggong immediately stood up, there is only one person who will come here at this time.

Sure enough, three figures came, the little eunuch in front of him was holding a lantern and bowing down to lead the way, Gonggong Mu walked in the middle, and the one behind was a middle-aged eunuch.

"Ancestor, you haven't rested at such a late hour?" Grandpa Bai hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Father-in-law Mu looked gloomy and walked into the house quickly, Father-in-law Bai hurriedly followed, turned around and ordered: "Serve tea, wait, there is still a cold sour plum soup, hurry up and serve a bowl." ”

Father-in-law Mu sat down on the chair, looking tired, and when he heard Father-in-law Bai's words, he waved his hand slightly: "Have a cup of tea, make it stronger." ”

"Yes, tea, strong tea. Bai Gonggong rushed outside and ordered, and then stepped forward cautiously: "Old Ancestor, is there anything urgent?"

Father-in-law Mu nodded slightly: "Xiao Baizi, Yangzhou, is there any news?"

Bai Gonggong was slightly stunned, and then replied: "Yes, Hu Benwei has three teams of people in Yangzhou, internal guards, Yangzhou internal guards, Lin Gonggong judged that Yangzhou's internal guard system has been infiltrated, and it needs to be screened and rectified before it can be used." ”

"Did you send someone?" asked Father-in-law Mu, Father-in-law Bai was slightly stunned again, and then replied: "My son doesn't know about this, and Father-in-law Lin is in charge." ”

"Call him. Father-in-law Mu's tone was very calm, but there was no doubt.

Gonggong Bai immediately ordered outside, and then cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Ancestor, what happened to Yangzhou again?"

Father-in-law Mu sighed softly, and Father-in-law Bai didn't ask anymore when he saw this, and waited carefully on the side, and after a while, Father-in-law Lin hurried over.

"Ancestor, what's wrong?" Father-in-law Lin walked in a hurry, and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

In the afternoon, Yangzhou Gu Wei's recital reported, impeaching Yangzhou Assassin Shi, Yangzhou County Guard, Yangzhou Governor, corrupt the law, forcing the people to death, impeaching Huainan Wang for forcibly occupying people's land, impeaching Jiankang County Guard's family, persecuting businessmen, and impeaching more than 10 officials in Yangzhou. ”

Gonggong Lin couldn't help but be a little stupid when he heard this, and Gonggong Bai gasped, what is this Gu Wei going to do?

"What is he going to do!" Bai Gonggong subconsciously asked, but Lin Gonggong quickly calmed down, frowned and asked: "Ancestor, what does this Gu Wei want to do?" I heard that this Yangzhou assassin Shi Sheng Huai, Yangzhou County Shou Sha Hao, have all taken the path of Pan Lian, Sheng Huai also gave gifts to Pan Lian, and Yangzhou Lieutenant, very simply, was transferred from the camp of Bishan Mountain, and took the path of Pan Ji. ”

"The governor of Yangzhou was adjusted by the first emperor when he was there, and that time, Pan Ji transferred all the generals from Qingzhou and Jizhou. Mu Gong said fairly, Lin Gonggong and Bai Gonggong nodded at the same time, that adjustment was done by Pan Ji with the support of Emperor Taiding, which is beneficial to the current emperor.

But what about Sheng Huai and Sha Hao? Since they have already gone through Pan Lian's path, why does Gu Wei want to impeach them? Isn't he Pan Lian's long history? This is going to turn his back on his old master?

"How is the rectification of the internal guards in Yangzhou?" Father-in-law Mu asked, and Gonggong Lin sighed: "Godfather, my son wants to rectify, but my son has no one in his hands, you also know that since the sixth year of Taiding, since Guo Fen, the priest of the country, impeached the internal guards, our funds have been reduced year by year, and the manpower has been reduced year by year, Guo Fen, this bastard, has killed us, and now..."

"Don't say those useless," Father-in-law Mu waved his hand to interrupt him, Father-in-law Lin sighed, Father-in-law Bai thought about it and understood, in the sixth year of Taiding, Guo Fen Shangshu, the priest of the country, asked for the removal of the internal guard, thinking that the internal guard abused his power and harmed the world, and the Son of Heaven should do the royal way, upright, upright, and bright, and should not conspire.

Guo Fen is a world-famous Taoist scholar, enjoying high prestige in the Shilin, he took the lead in opening the bow, the doctors of the country's eunuchs have been sparse, alarming the Manchu Dynasty, the imperial history also followed, even the young and vigorous prince was also sparse, the gate lords were hiding behind, and the court had a feeling that the mountain rain was coming.

Mu Gonggong fought back, instructed the imperial history controlled by the internal guard to impeach Wanju, the assassin of Yanzhou at that time, and dragged Guo Fen, who was born in Yanzhou, into the water, and then secretly promoted the case of the prince, and finally Wanju was exiled, Guo Fen died of illness in prison, Emperor Taiding protected the prince, and most of the prince's subordinate officials were exiled, which suppressed this wind.

But after this incident, Emperor Taiding began to gradually weaken the internal guard, first the funds, then the personnel, this weakening is not in place at once, but gradually implemented, quietly, two years later, Lin Gonggong found out that he reported to Mu Gonggong, but Mu Gonggong did not react, silently accepted the emperor's ruling.

After more than a year, Gonggong Lin realized the emperor's meaning, this was the emperor's warning to them, Gonggong Mu took action against the prince without authorization, causing Emperor Taiding to be suspicious, Emperor Taiding just suffered from no evidence, so he had to accept the result, but warned Gonggong Mu in this way.

The internal guard has been gradually weakened, and even the strength of the tiger benwei has been greatly reduced, so many years, except for Jiang Feng to the middle grade grandmaster, the other two are not the lower grade grandmaster cultivation, the heyday of the tiger Benwei, the commander has a high-grade grandmaster cultivation, and each detachment leader has a grandmaster cultivation, so like now, the martial artist cultivation can become the captain of the detachment.

The bitter fruit of the weakening of the internal guard was shown some time ago, the battle between the Wang and Xu families and the wind and rain building, and the subsequent dispute over Caoyun, the support of the internal guard is much less than before, and the monitoring of various places has also been greatly weakened, but outsiders do not know about these situations, and they are still afraid of the prestige of the internal guard.

Gonggong Mu pondered, picked up the documents on the bookcase, glanced at them casually, and frowned slightly: "This Liu Han wants people again? Hmph, there are not enough people from Hanhai Trading Company!"

"Oh," Gonggong Lin went up, took it and took it, frowning slightly: "What does he want people to do?"

"I'm afraid it's lonely," Father-in-law Bai said, Father-in-law Lin's eyes flashed: "If you don't let him go to Yangzhou and rebuild Yangzhou's internal guards, well, by the way, I will also send him a few people, godfather, my son feels that this Liu Han can be of great use." ”

Father-in-law Mu closed his eyes and thought about it, then looked up at Father-in-law Bai and asked, "What do you think?"

"The little ones look at the line. Father-in-law Bai hesitated, carefully looked at Father-in-law Mu's expression, and then added: "This Liu Han's cultivation is high enough, and he is shrewd enough, he should be able to do it." ”

Gonggong Mu thought about it silently, nodded and said, "Okay, you can meet him tomorrow, Wang Xu and the two families, hehe, you can relax on the wind and rain building, alas." ”

With a sigh, Gonggong Mu still didn't move, and thought for a while: "Notify Yangzhou, check it, and see if there is anything abnormal." ”

"Yes. Gonggong Lin nodded, knowing in his heart that the ancestor was a little regretful, and he gave up on Fengyulou too quickly, as for notifying Yangzhou, it was just a smoke bomb.

It's not easy to join the internal guard, come in, if you want to get out, it is very difficult, many internal guards are passed from father to son, son to grandchild.

Mu Gonggong lightly hammered his forehead, the originally stable court situation, was shaken by the sudden impeachment, Shang Shutai had different opinions on this, Pengzhu Zuochen advocated strict investigation, Pan Lian resolutely opposed, thinking that this move would affect the preparation for war, Gan Tang and Qiuyun were ambiguous, Pan Ji did not appear at all, he transferred troops in the Taiwei Mansion.

"Godfather, take a rest," Gonggong Lin persuaded in a low voice, and Gonggong Mu sighed: "Old, old, I used to follow the first emperor, and there was no problem in staying up for a few nights, but now it doesn't work, it doesn't work! ”

"The old ancestor is old," Bai Gonggong patted his ass and said flatteringly: "The little ones still have to rely on the support of the ancestors." ”

Grandpa Mu looked up at him and slowly smiled.

The next day, Liu Han received a notice from Feng Zhi that he did not go to the contact point immediately, but went to the forbidden army first, and only arrived at the contact point slowly when he was about to have lunch, and Xiao Er led him to the inner courtyard and left.

Liu Han looked at the two young men at the door, these two men were wearing ordinary linen clothes, their faces were white and beardless, and they knew that they were the father-in-law in the palace at first sight.

"Why did you arrive, my godfather has been waiting for a while. Mai Gong came out of the open door, and when he saw Liu Han, he couldn't help complaining, Liu Han was slightly surprised, he didn't show it, nodded slightly and went in.

"I've seen my father-in-law, I have been delayed in the army for some time, and I ask my father-in-law to forgive me. Liu Han hugged his fists and saluted, and Gonggong Lin held the teacup and bowed slightly, signaling Liu Han to sit down.

Liu Han sat down at the bottom of the head, his sitting style is different from others, ordinary people see Lin Gonggong, even if he dares to sit, he only dares to sit on half of his buttocks, leaning towards Lin Gonggong, Liu Han is sitting down with a big horse golden knife, facing Lin Gonggong, in the eyes of outsiders, this is a bit rude, but it is easy to explain on him, he is a wild man who has returned from the Western Regions, and he does not know much about the etiquette of the Great Jin Dynasty.

After sitting down, Liu Han didn't speak, this is correct, he didn't know what Gonggong Lin called him for today.

"I called you here because I have something to do with you. Gonggong Lin said slowly and calmly with a teacup, Liu Han's expression was calm, he didn't speak, Gonggong Lin always looked at him.

"The internal guard team in Yangzhou has been infiltrated, and I don't know how bad the situation is, so I want you to go to Yangzhou, one is to find out the situation of the internal guard being infiltrated, and the other is to rebuild the Yangzhou internal guard. ”

Hearing this task, Liu Han was a little surprised, his brows couldn't help frowning together, and when Lin Gonggong saw this, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Two difficulties," Liu Han said: "The humble position is in the forbidden army, and when you go to Yangzhou, how can the forbidden army cover it up?" The second is Cao Yun, the old ancestor of the Wang family has not completely given up, and the humble position is gone, in case Cao Yun has another accident, this...."

"These two questions, our family has thought about them for you, you go and tell Xiao Yu that Caoyun is in his hands for the time being, and you send someone to talk to Wang Fen again," Lin Gonggong said: "On the side of the forbidden army, you go to ask for leave, is one year enough?"

"One year?" Liu Han condensed: "I don't know, well, I plan to go south as Liu Mo, as for the forbidden army, I think that I don't want to be too concerned, what does it mean that I can think of a way in the palace to let the people and horses of the lowly post be transferred out and perform a certain task alone, so that the lowly post can leave justifiably." ”

Gonggong Lin understood, he put the teacup on the table, tapped his fingers lightly on the table a few times, and nodded slightly: "That's a good idea, well, Yangcheng reported that there is a brotherhood in the territory, so let you go to Yuanyingkou." ”

Seeing Liu Han's ignorant face, Gonggong Lin didn't know where Yuan Yingkou was, and couldn't help but show a smile: "This Yuan Yingkou is a pass outside the Yuanguan, which belongs to the jurisdiction of Yangcheng, it turned out that there were five hundred garrisons here, and later the imperial court felt that the garrison here was of little significance, so it was abolished, and now since there is a brotherhood haunting, you go to suppress the bandits, this reason is feasible?"

"Mobilize the forbidden army to suppress bandits?" Liu Han hesitated and asked, "Is there a precedent before?" Why don't you transfer the county soldiers?"

Liu Han's question made Gonggong Lin very satisfied, obviously Liu Han understood the difficulty of this matter, and most of the people who had the ability to infiltrate Yangzhou's internal guards had eyeliner in the imperial court, and if they wanted to screen and rebuild Yangzhou's internal security system, they had to hide from these eyes.
