Chapter 195 The Governor and the Experienced Officer

Chapter 195 Governor and Experience Officer

Yan Ge was the minister who served the emperor for the longest time in the dynasty. He was summoned to the palace for a long time. At the same time, the attendant of the West Garden retreated at night. At first, he lived four miles west of the city. Whenever the emperor summoned him, he would not have time to ride a sedan chair, so he would "race alone" to go there. In order to be summoned in the most timely manner, he later built a house on Xichang'an Street near Xiyuan to enter.

In just half a quarter of an hour from his house to Xiyuan Gate, Yan Ge Lao went out the door one moment before the hour of Mao, and waited in front of the palace gate for the first half of the time. He did not waste time, but also seemed sincere.

Although there are some things to do today, Ge Lao Yan refused to make an exception. This is the so-called prime minister's demeanor. The gate opened on time just before the hour of Mao, and the eight-carrying sedan chair headed north slowly. Half a quarter of an hour later, the sedan chair fell down, and the sedan chairmen and guards stood around, without making any sound.

Yan Nian, a native of the old man who followed the master into the palace, tapped the window of the sedan chair and signaled that the master had arrived.

Yan Song didn't respond. The old man was just patient and waited for a long time without any haste. He heard Yan Nian outside call out: "Master, the door is open."

Mr. Yan, who was sitting in the sedan chair, opened a gap. Seeing that there was a lantern outside, he still couldn't see his five fingers, he whispered: "When Governor Lu comes out, call him." After Yan Nian responded, Yan Song closed the curtain of the sedan chair and stopped talking.

Before I waited for a long time, I heard Yan Nian raise his voice slightly: "Master Taibao, my old lady made chestnut and osmanthus porridge this morning. I was thinking about your best taste, so I specially asked my master to bring you a can." He said with a smile: "I will get it for you now."

"It's better for the old lady," he heard a hearty laughter, "I'll ask the elders myself."

Hearing this voice, Yan Song ordered people to open the door of the sedan chair, and a burly and handsome man appeared in front of him. In the season when water drips into ice, this man was only wearing a red warrior suit... He was as afraid of the cold and heat as the emperor. Of course, Jiajing was caused by taking drugs, but this man relied on pure internal strength.

This is the number one confidant of the emperor with a string of dazzling titles, the Grand Governor of the Jinyiwei, Lu Binglu Wenming... But in front of Yan Song and Ge Lao Yan, Governor Lu still bowed his head and greeted him with a smile.

Yan Song looked at him deeply and whispered: "Please." Then he handed him a pottery jar.

After Lu Bing thanked him, he got on the horse with a can and left. Yan Song's sedan chair slowly took off and drove into the palace gate.

At the same time, two fast horses galloped outside the Yongding Gate that had just opened, one headed to the Tongzhengsi Yamen opposite Xiyuan, and the other headed to the Jinyiwei Yamen outside Xihua Gate.

Just when the emperor's right and left arm had this short and important contact, Jiajing himself woke up on time from his sleep and did a set of lessons taught by Tao Zhenren of Longhushan. After his whole body was sweating and his face was rosy, he washed and changed clothes under the service of the eunuch, had some breakfast, and took some elixirs. Then he would go to Wanshou Palace to meet his cabinet ministers and see what was upset in his empire... There had been no good news for a long time, so when he thought of asking for trouble after dinner, he had no appetite.

Facing the imperial meals on the table, Jiajing had almost no bites, so he pushed down the bowl and chopsticks and said silly: "Please take the pill." Huang Jin, who was standing beside him, quickly put on the sandalwood pill box, opened it and knelt in front of the emperor. Emperor Jiajing stretched out his slender fingers, twisted a red pill the size of a pigeon egg, and swallowed it with water. Suddenly, a warm current swam all over his body, making him feel energetic and radiant. He couldn't help but praise: "The elixir refined by Master Tao Tian is indeed the best."

While the emperor was having a meal, Lu Bing also returned to his yamen and ate in the signing room. Facing the chestnut and osmanthus porridge made by Mrs. Yan, the emperor's milk brother, like Jiajing, could not eat.

There was a piece of paper on the table, which was taken from under the clay pot, and it was also the reason why Governor Lu couldn't eat.

There was also a middle-aged official wearing a seventh-rank official uniform and dark-faced face. Although his face was so slight, he ate big mouthfuls. It seemed that the worse his mood and the better his appetite.

Seeing this guy eating so deliciously, Lu Bing said laughing and crying: "Brother Qingxia, don't just eat, but help me think of a solution?"

Qingxia is Chen Lian's name. This official is Jinyiwei. After choking, he seemed to be choking, patted his chest hard, and exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "Yan Song wants to deal with Zhang Jing, let you help me..."

"It's not to speak." Lu Bing smiled bitterly, "It's to keep silent."

"It's all accomplices, no difference." Although he was much older than when he was in Shaoxing, Chen Lian's temper had not changed at all. He only heard him say hard: "If you help him again, although there is no obstacle in front of him, your reputation behind him will be completely over, and it may harm his descendants."

There is a saying that the tofu is made of brine, and one thing is inferior to another. Lu Bing is in front of his hand and has a strong temper. But he just takes Shenjian's style. Not only is he never annoyed, but he also respects it day by day. Hearing this, he rubbed his forehead distressedly and said, "Damn it, this is really a mistake that has ever been a thing of eternal regret. Why did Xia Yan, that old stubborn donkey, be so stubborn?"

Lu Bing talked about a famous case... When Xia Yan was in office, the censor had the evidence that his Governor Lu ordered his subordinates to kidnap wealthy households and extort ransoms, and was preparing to defeat the big spy leader in one fell swoop. Although Lu Bing was already the commander of the Jinyiwei at that time, he still did not dare to confront the cabinet chief... In a panic, he had to bring silver to the door to plead.

But when Xia Yan saw him and what he brought, he only said two words: "Please go back." In a hurry, Lu Bing had to cry and knelt down and beg for mercy. Later, although Xia Yan forgave him, he gave him a lesson and said that there would be another time, let me see how I deal with you.

After Lu Bing came back, he was caught by Yan Shifan. After a few words, he made him a gentleman who was not avenged. He agreed to Yan Shifan's request and released Qiu Luan who was imprisoned in the imperial prison. Just like last night, Yan Shifan wrote a complaint letter, which Qiu Luan submitted to the emperor, and brought down Zeng Xian, the three-sided governor who supported the "reconcil". But this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is the four very inconspicuous words - "Make friends with close servants".

Xia Yan firmly supported Zeng Xian's faction, and was immediately called by the emperor to take action by Xia Yan. Xia Yan also became the only chief minister who was sentenced to death since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, because the four words in Yan Donglou meant that border generals made friends with close ministers, which meant that they were ill-intentioned. No matter whether you are an elder or a hero, as long as you touch the supreme imperial power, there is no other way to go except death.

Although Lu Bing is not a good person, he is not a bad bastard like Yan Shifan. He dreamed of Xia Yan asking for his life at midnight for many times. For several years, he had been blaming himself for his heart and pain... So he liked to scold himself. Not only was he not angry, but he became more and more comfortable. This was not a bad bone, but he was self-abuse and seeking relief.

Of course, it is only limited to Chen Lian. If someone dares to scold him, the service of the tiger bench and pepper water!

Because Chen Lingling used his erudition and integrity, and his open mind, he had already conquered this contradictory governor. Invisibly, Lu Bing unconsciously regarded him as his good teacher and friend, and had long since told him about this knot.

So when he heard Lu Bing still complaining about Xia Yan, Chen Lian said in a bad voice: "Although Xia Shoufu seems to be old-fashioned, he is actually broad-minded and kind-hearted, he is a good person who is perfect... He is taught a few lessons by such a good person, which is more than a hundred words of flattery like a villain like Yan Shifan."

Lu Bing raised his hands and surrendered: "My Mr. Chen, I already know that I was wrong. Don't hold on to it. The key is what to do now?"

"Simple." Chen Lian said in a deep voice: "Speak with conscience."

Lu Bing was silent for a while, shook his head and said bitterly: "How easy is it? Since Yan Shifan pulled him into the water, I have been degenerate over the years. I have long been unrelated to him and have been regarded as a 'Yan Party'." He said with no power: "If you don't say anything else, I can't stand it with Yan Shifan's ability to write a complaint."

"I just have this idea, and I won't listen!" Chen Lian sneered: "Anyway, you Governor Lu already have the wronged souls of Xia Yan and Zeng Xian under your name. What's the relationship between Xu Jie, Zhang Jing, Li Tianchong and even Tang Kekuan?"

"Of course it's related!" Lu Bing rubbed his hair hard in annoyance and said angrily: "I can comfort myself that time Xia Yan, but I can protect myself! But if Xu Jie did this time, I will not want to sleep peacefully in this life."

Both of them were angry and ignored each other.

At this moment, a rushing footsteps came from outside the door, and someone knocked on the door: "Governor, the Southeast is urgent!"

Lu Bing said angrily: "Who's urgent matter?"

"The Zhejiang Inspector is silent and presents His Majesty the General Report on Zhejiang Military Information."

"What kind of inspector?" Lu Bing thought for a while before he suddenly said, "It's your beloved disciple, sir."

Chen Lian's face suddenly pulled down and he whispered, "Boy, what kind of water is dripping at this time?" He really wanted to snatch that thing and tear it up.

Seeing his face ferocious, Lu Bing smiled and comforted, "Sir, don't worry, let's take it in first. If there is anything wrong, just help him change it." As he said, he laughed, "Guan Bao will not be unlucky, but he will be promoted." Transforming documents is really a piece of cake for the Jinyiwei. Now Lu Bing decides Zhang Jing's fate again, which is an exaggeration to say so.
