Chapter 4 The Doorman
Chang Sihao was about to look away, but he saw Zeng Shiquan's face wrinkled into flowers, paced over to this side with a smile, and arched his hand from afar: "Ouch, Brother Gonglie, I haven't seen you for many days, it's always been good,"
Gao Yang pressed the table with his palms, slowly propped himself up and returned the salute: "Haha, good Master Zeng, this cold day, the master is not listening to music around the fireplace in the factory, why did you come here, isn't it also here to see the first beauty in the world," Shao Fang and Chang Sihao also followed the stool and left their seats one after another,
Zeng Shiquan sneered: "Cough, Brother Gonglie said that he laughed, although I don't have any research on music, but the prisoners in the factory sang and the girls outside, which one can still be distinguished, as for the water girl, I have seen it a long time ago, to say something bad about the scenery, it is amazing and amazing, and it is also dull to see it, no matter how beautiful the parents are, they can't change my old face. Saying that, he turned around and said: "Third master, you have also arranged it, I can fight a table with the tall swordsman here, he chose this place well, and everywhere is bright," as he spoke, he sat next to Gao Yang on a stool, picked up the teapot and poured it into the bowl, and said: "Come on, drink tea, drink tea,"
Shao Fang saw that his place was occupied by him, so he bypassed Gao Yang and sat down on Chang Sihao's right hand, Li Yichen also came over and greeted Gao Yang, sitting on Shao Fang's side, so that he and Zeng Shiquan were left and right, as if intentionally or unintentionally sandwiching the three of them in the middle.
In the past, the legendary Dongchang characters are now sitting close at hand, talking and laughing, which makes Chang Sihao feel uncomfortable, but although he has hatred in his heart, he also knows that he can't act rashly, and his heart is tumbling for a while, his body can't help but tighten, and his palms are oozing some sweat.
Xu Sangongzi couldn't wait to get away from these two people, and said with a smile: "It's okay, check the steward, you accompany a few people at this table, don't be lazy," the check chicken rack was about to answer, Gao Yang said first: "Hey, you don't have to, you have to check the steward before and after, how can you occupy his body, huh...... In this way, I see that these three gentlemen around you have new faces, and this table is wide enough to sit down, so it is better to stay and chat with us, and have an understanding of each other, and it will be convenient to do things in the future."
"This ......" Xu Sangongzi hesitated, his eyes inquired to the purple-clothed scribe beside him, and the man smiled slightly: "There are many things to do today, and the prince can go to work on other things, as long as these guests don't give up, I will accompany him," Xu Sangongzi looked at Gao Yang, and then looked at Zeng Shiquan, and said: "It's okay," waved his hand to call the chicken rack and said goodbye to everyone, and before he walked back to take a look, he seemed quite uneasy,
The three scribes sat down calmly, Mr. Jiang was next to Zeng Shiquan, Mr. Zhu was leaning on Li Yichen, the purple-clothed man was in the middle, and Chang Sihao was sandwiched between Shao Fang and Gao Yang.
Eight pairs of eyes looked at each other on the table, no one spoke, and for a while only the sound of tea could be heard.
Until the waitress retreated, the table was still quiet, Zeng Shiquan sneered, nodded, snorted lightly in his nose, leaned back, leaned back steadily, looked around with interest, and muttered in his mouth: "Hehe, our family has been working in the factory for many years, inside and outside the government, up and down the rivers and lakes, and knows people quite widely, a table full of eight people, half of them make me unable to tell my name, this kind of situation, it is really uncommon to talk about it," As he spoke, he crossed his fingers in front of his jaw and rubbed the rings on it, either red or green.
Mr. Jiang smiled loudly: "Master Zhang, as one of the four stalls of the East Factory, assists Guo Dugong in taking care of the factory affairs, his reputation is far and wide, and he is well-known in the world, Lord Li is a figure around the emperor, with a high position of authority, and three grades of official residence, and two people and friends who have interacted with him, or a ministry and health official, or a celebrity and dignitary, if you know us in the market, wouldn't it become a joke?"
There is a difference between inside and outside Jinyiwei, some of them are mainly in the inner part of the emperor, and some of them are under the command of the East Factory. Investigation and handling cases outside, commonly known as internal guards and external guards, Li Yichen's Jinyi Wei Tongzhi title was originally from the third product, not a regular position, and has been assigned to the East Factory for many years, belongs to the outer guard, and rarely has the opportunity to accompany the emperor, Jinyi Wei was originally very powerful when it was first established, but with the gradual prosperity of the East Factory and gradually declined, almost reduced to its vassal, until now even his top boss Zhu Xizhong, the dignified commander of the three products met Guo Shu Ronghua, all have to be respectful, long gone to the former scenery, at this moment Mr. Jiang These words are not much, but they are very useful in his ears, and his face is full of smiles, and he feels happy,
Zeng Shiquan said with a smile: "Hahahaha, jokes are a good thing, I like to listen to them closely, if you want to say that Xu Sanye is also a giant in Beijing, if the customers around him are all idle people in the market, isn't this joke even bigger?"
Mr. Jiang smiled on his face, but he no longer spoke, and took a cup of tea from his cup, as if Xu Sangongzi's face and how others perceived these things were useless, and he didn't care about it at all.
At this time, the purple-clothed man raised his hand, waved slightly to Gao Yang's side, and said: "Lie Gong is a key member of the Hundred Swords Alliance, a capable general of the Xuanbu, the head of Tong, a famous family in the world, shining all over the world, Jianyi is romantic, Shao Daxia Danyang people's clan, sitting in Yishulou, chivalrous broadcast, famous in Beijing, Chang Yishi young hero, saving the surname in the dangerous city, breaking the Tatar in the wilderness, righteous and chivalrous brave, the world praises, in the next three have been heard to act upright, never negative husband two words, today fate gathered here, it is really a great luck,"
Gao Yang smiled: "Gao plays fists and feet, dancing and dancing swords is a common thing, it's just to entertain himself, he doesn't dare to be romantic, what is out of a famous family, a cadre of the humerus, Your Excellency is even too much, I am a primary school club that studies kendo, how can there be so much attention,"
The man in purple smiled and said: "The famous family mentioned in the next sentence is not the sect that refers to it, so that the noble virtue and the noble and virtuous of the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple in the past are the same sect, the former Wenyuan Pavilion University scholar Gao Gong said, or your clan brother, although he made a wrong move at the beginning of the year and was forced to become a scholar, but the cabinet was already turbulent, and the strange peaks were repeated, how could the success or failure be rough about the hero, the old man of the high pavilion had a big mind and extraordinary force, and he had always admired it very much, this family matter, why should Brother Gonglie deliberately avoid confusion,"
Shao Fang's face changed slightly, Gao Ge Lao was forced to go down to the wilderness, and now he wanted to shake the prestige of the Xu family for no reason, but Gao Yang laughed and said: " Gao has always liked martial arts, longing for swordsman, leaving home when he was young to wander the rivers and lakes, but I'm afraid that now I will return to my hometown, and even my father can't recognize it, as for the genealogy of the elders, I haven't seen it in half an eye, if it's really as you said, I'm very happy, but the shaved head picker is not scared, I would like to recognize Gao Ge Lao as a big brother, but people may not be willing to recognize me as a brother, hahahaha,"
The sound of music in the hall sounded, there were several beautiful women with red sleeves on the central circular stage, the autumn waves were sprinkled all over, the song and dance rose up, and everyone was full of color, and the sound was very high, drowning in the laughter of Gao Yang.
Zeng Shiquan and Li Yichen stared at Gao Yang's face, as if they felt that things were strange and inconclusive, Chang Sihao looked at them and thought: " Gao Yang's words don't sound obvious, but seem to be vaguely admitted, it seems that most of what the people in purple say are credible, but they all say that Dongchang is very wide, and even the important ministers of the dynasty have eyeliner in their homes, no matter how big or small, every day a steady stream of information into the factory, the news has always been the most well-informed, the Hundred Swords League and the East Factory are so close, they should know each other's roots, looking at them like this, it seems that it is the first time they have heard of this, that is really strange," and then thought:" However, such a secret thing, the people of the Xu family can visit and know, their ability is really not to be underestimated, during the morning meeting, I heard Chief Tong say that the Xu family has signs of dealing with the Hundred Swords Alliance, just on this matter, this inference is indeed reasonable: if it is not for the intention of pulling out the other party, how can they feel the bottom of the family so clearly,"
The purple-clothed man had a slight regret on his face: "As far as I know, with Liegong's talent and martial arts, it is enough to sit in the position of the head of the Yuan Department, but unfortunately the Luo family has deep roots in Guimeng, this son still let the younger brother of Luo Chengkong, the big sword in the north, sit down, and Liegong finally succumbed to the Xuanbu sword, and only took care of some economic exchanges, which is a pity in Xiashen,"
Gao Yang said: "Luo Chengyuan's talent and martial arts are not under his brother, he is ten thousand times stronger than Gao Mousheng, Er Luo was a big man before he entered our league, not to mention that he is willing to contribute to the martial arts of the family's 'Wang Shibai Qingniu Yongjin' to the league, Gao has always admired their minds, and the swords of our alliance are like a family, what does it matter who is the chief executive,"
The purple-clothed man smiled indifferently, looked away, and said to the side: "Brother Zhu, you had a face-to-face with this little brother Chang yesterday, and said that he has an excellent appearance, and I look at it now, it is indeed true,"
Chang Sihao saw that he had been smiling and elegant, and felt that this person was warm and should get along very well, although he saw him walking with Mr. Jiang and Zhu, and seemed to be close to the Xu family, but he still couldn't be wary, and at this moment he heard him praise himself, so he smiled and nodded, expressing his gratitude,
Mr. Zhu put his short beard in his hand, nodded and said: "Brother Chang has a good face, the weather is better, you see that his eyebrows are full of righteousness, and he has returned from the battlefield on the western border, a body of slaughter, two qi in one, there is really a man who rushes to the sky, such as today to the cold winter, it is the image of the old yin in the four seasons, Zhengli Xi Jinkemu, if Brother Chang can follow the heavenly phenomena, he will definitely do everything and become famous,"
Zeng Shiquan smiled beside him: "Mr. talked about the Five Elements Meteorology, what did Jin Kemu, Yin Keyang, wood belong to the East, aren't you hinting to others to deal with my Dongchang,"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes on the table were delivered frequently, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Mr. Jiang narrowed his eyes and said: "Master Zeng said with a smile, my brother Zhu has always liked divination and divination, what I just said is just a numerological speculation derived from mathematics, how can it be a metaphor,"
"Hahaha," Zeng Shiquan chuckled a few times and said: "Numerology is a little researched in the next, and it often gives people life, and occasionally it can be corrected, Lord Li, do you say yes," Li Yichen smiled: " You are too modest, the master of the law is wonderful, the officials of the DPRK and China do not know, every time there is a promotion of honor and disgrace must come to consult, there is no need to mention, the master of the ability to judge the life and death of people, is even more accurate, colleagues all said, without the master to see the face, but also thought that their life is in the hands of God, after you look at it like this, you know, it turns out that your life is in the palm of your hand,"
Zeng Shiquan smiled proudly and glanced at Mr. Zhu: "Jin Neng Kemu is not fake, but it also depends on what kind of gold it is, good wood is hard," he turned his face to Chang Sihao, looked up and down a few times, and said: "Well, it is indeed good, you can see the edges and corners, are you the Chang Sihao of the Qin family in Shanxi?"
Chang Sihao: "Yes,"
"Well," Zeng Shiquan hummed in a long tone, "I know, I know, I heard it a few days ago at the old man's house, saying that General Yan of Datong mentioned you in the submission and reported you a miracle merit,"
Chang Sihao had heard that Dongchang would detain reports and submissions from all over the country, and he was not surprised by this, but what was surprising was that he was able to say this kind of thing in public, and he didn't care about it lightly, so at ease, it seemed that they were used to doing things that violated the rules.
Li Yichen said: "Leading the cavalry to charge the camp and breaking my answer is indeed a lot of credit, but this Lord Yan is also a Tartar who frightened his braincase, and reported a person who was not in the compilation to a miraculous feat. The partial generals either reported the first merit, or reported the second merit, have always guarded the border and worked hard, and the martial arts reward is heavy, not to mention that this time it is to repel my answer, kill tens of thousands of enemies, and grow the prestige of our Ming army, I am afraid that the emperor will be overjoyed when he hears it, and the cannon at the head of the city will be a general, but he handed over the submission, but taught the military department how to deal with it, even if the matter is really as written in the submission, and all the military and civilian generals are also convinced, but this report goes up, do you still want the emperor to directly put a flat-headed people, It's a teenager again, can't you get a commission to be a general stationed on the border, don't report it, everyone's military exploits are in vain again,"
Chang Sihao didn't know about the meritorious service, and he complained to General Yan twice, but at this moment, listening to Li Yichen's words, he felt a kind of rebellion in his heart, and said: "Receiving rewards for merit is a matter of course, if it weren't for our efforts to break the enemy, I would have entered the Beijing Division early, where would you be here to gossip," his temperament came up, but his heart calmed down, and he smiled and said:" We didn't help each other to defend the city for fame, just to keep our homeland, we were already satisfied, how can we care about what the court rewards, how old is General Yan, a little confused, in fact, the battle of Datong is all the credit of the eunuch Hu Gonggong, we have made a little effort, what is it,"
Li Yichen leaned back in the chair and nodded at him: "Well, good, good, I can't see it, you are a young man, very sensible, and you have a bright future, but yes, it is precisely because of your youth that you often don't have enough eyesight to see things, Hu Gonggong's command is profitable, and the overseer is meritorious, so he naturally has to report to the court and be rewarded, but you don't know that no matter how high his talent is, it is limited in the end"Outside, the king's order is not granted", disobeying the order has become commonplace, the order can not be done, how can I fight a good war, I learned a lesson, in the army set up a special post of overseer, the inner servant is a close minister of the royal family, far away to send the border guard, such as the saint in person, the general will serve the virtue of the natural life, the soldier is grateful and morale is high, the Tatars are just savages, not civilized and civilized, seeing this Celestial Dynasty military might, how can there be no reason not to be afraid, the defeat and loss are also reasonable," Speaking of this, seeing Zeng Shiquan's eyes half-narrowed, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, and it seemed that he listened very well, so he leaned over slightly and covered his hands and smiled: "Master, when there will be another war, you also ask for an order, go to the army, it will definitely be more victorious and successful, at that time, don't forget to bring your subordinates,"
Chang Sihao first heard him say that Hu Gonggong's "talent is high, but it is limited in the end", and thought that he meant to say that it would be difficult to win without the unity of the army and the people.
Gao Yang sat beside him, how could he not feel this abnormal movement, stretched out his right foot and put it on the top of Chang Sihao's boots, and stepped on it.
Mr. Zhu slanted his eyes at Li Yichen coldly: " Your Excellency said this, only afraid of the poor, the husband and the soldier, the tricks, the enemy is full of tricks, the fighter plane is fleeting, how can the generals waste time on asking for instructions, I Ming set up a military supervision in the army, the supervising generals lead the soldiers' actions, causing people to panic, only care about self-preservation, the eunuchs are greedy for bribes, in the army layer by layer, everywhere deducted, the sergeants have not had time to start the war, has been squeezed to the blood and dry flesh, where does the morale come from, not to mention the eunuchs are ignorant people, not to mention what military books and war strategies, this group of characters, but in the army indiscriminately commanded, it is really ridiculous, you don't forget the shame of civil engineering, this is not far away, Yingzong is humiliated, the national tears have not dried, ”
The shame of civil engineering, it is said that in the fourteenth year of Ming orthodoxy, the leader of Wara also led his troops to attack Datong, Ming Yingzong was instigated by the eunuch Wang Zhen, and the royal driver personally conquered, Wang Zhen did not understand military affairs, and commanded indiscriminately, resulting in the defeat and loss of 500,000 troops, and the death of 100 military generals, and the great Emperor Yingzong was actually captured by the enemy in Tumubao, creating an unprecedented shame since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Chang Sihao listened to him pour out all the words he wanted to say, screamed happily in his heart, and thought: "This Mr. Zhu is bloody and hot, and he is very valuable, I felt a lot of love when I listened to him speak in Koufuju, I really don't know why such a good person wants to vote under the Xu family, it's a pity,"
