Chapter 417
Yang Qiuchi couldn't help but secretly wiped a cold sweat, and asked Liu Ruobing and Song Yuner to sit on their lower heads. He smiled and said, "Mr. Ji, these two concubines, Beizhi, are skilled in martial arts and are personal guards of Beizhi, so they follow wherever they go."
Ji Gang smiled and stared at Yang Qiuchi: "Liangmao martial arts? Hehe, brother, you are too modest. In the battle of Jianwen's nest in Qingxi County, Zhenyuan Prefecture, he was invincible and killed countless enemies. Nian Baoyu Ze's sacred mountain golden top killed Duogan's No. 1 master Emperor Luo Fa King. I'm afraid that such methods are not something that Liangmao martial arts can describe?"
Yang Qiuchi was shocked again. According to the situation at that time, the guards should not know about these news. I guess Ji Gang found out through detailed interrogation of the captives. The one who actually killed Di Luo was his own Type 77 pistol, but at that time there were only four of them and little black dogs, but her head was cut off by Song Yuner, and she shouted outside. Since she couldn't fight, the account was considered to both of them.
It seems that he has no big move to escape Ji Gang's eyes. Yang Qiuchi feels even cold all over.
Ji Gang smiled again and said, "You don't bring so many personal guards, but only two concubines. Haha, are you worried that the emperor and I will hide all the birds? Haha, you are too worried. Haha."
Did this kid put a wiretap in front of me? Yang Qiuchi couldn't help thinking like this, but this was really obvious. Since Ji Gang knew that Liu Ruobing and Song Yuner were both his concubines, and they were very skilled in martial arts, those guards were sent by the emperor and Ji Gang. If they did not bring them, they would probably know the purpose of the concubines.
Ji Gang saw Yang Qiuchi's embarrassment, smiled, and waved his hand: "Okay, let's not talk about these. Brother, the emperor values you very much, of course, the same is true for me. As long as you do your best to assist the emperor as before, the world is peaceful now, you don't have to fight all over the world, but if you can maintain peace, especially in our capital, it will be a huge merit and can be considered as a share of worries for the emperor."
Yang Qiuchi said yes.
Ji Gang said: "Our brothers have a long way to go. You will go to court tomorrow morning and participate in the emperor's Lantern Festival Lantern Festival in the afternoon. I will not leave you anymore. Let's talk quickly, go back and have a good rest, and keep your energy in full. Don't lose the face of our Jinyiwei."
Yang Qiuchi hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply: "I thank Lord Ji for his cultivation. I will do my best to repay the holy grace."
After leaving Ji Mansion, Yang Qiuchi realized that he was already sweating. Liu Ruobing and Song Yuner also felt that Ji Gangduan was very beneficial. After thinking about it, the three of them really couldn't figure out what the medicine was selling in Ji Gang's gourd. Although Ji Gang said that the emperor did not mean to hide the entire bird, he could not take it lightly.
When they returned to Yang's mansion, they were going to court to meet the emperor early the next morning. Liu Ruobing, Song Yuner and Yang Qiuchi discussed it again. After thinking about the countermeasures, they felt relieved to part.
Although I hope to have a good rest, I thought I would see the emperor the next day, and I didn’t know whether it was a blessing or a disaster, so Yang Qiuchi and his family didn’t sleep well.
At the fourth update of the next day, it was still dark, Yang Qiuchi and his family got up. They were dressed neatly. Liu Ruobing and Song Yuner were still pretending to be followers and left the Yang Mansion gate. They walked in the cold dark night and arrived at the palace in the official sedan chair. They passed through Donghua Gate and came to Jiuqing's room, waiting to go to court.
There were already many court officials waiting to go to court in the room. Liu Ruobing and Song Yuner were entourages and could not enter Donghua Gate, so they could only wait outside the door.
There were dozens of lanterns hanging in the room, which was very bright. Among the many people, there were crowds of people, but they couldn't see clearly. Yang Qiuchi only knew Li, the Minister of Rites, Gong, the Minister of Works, and Gu, the Minister of Yingtian Prefecture. Yang Qiuchi's other friends were too low to attend court.
Lord Li, Lord Gong and Lord Gu stepped forward to meet Yang Qiuchi. Others heard that Yang Qiuchi even came up to meet him even if he solved the case like a god.
Being an official in the capital is to pay attention to harmony. As the saying goes, everyone is carrying a flower sedan chair, and the mountains are not turned around, and the waters are not turned around. Maybe they will come to you at any time. Although there are countless kings, princes, generals, and a lot of dukes, marquis and uncles in the capital, Yang Qiuchi is really not in any position at the moment. However, Yang Qiuchi was a superb count at a young age. Who knows what kind of high-ranking officials he will become in the future? So the surface articles that meet each other must be done.
Yang Qiuchi was young after all. After three nice words from others, he immediately regarded him as his good friend, so everyone soon became familiar with him.
Just as I was busy, I suddenly heard a whisper, "Brother Qiuchi, hehe, you're pretty early!" A burly man walked in. It was Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyiwei.
Everyone gave in. Yang Qiuchi hurriedly bowed and bowed: "I have met Lord Ji."
Ji Gang walked forward with a smile, patted Yang Qiuchi on the shoulder again: "Well, brother is very good."
You have to show your brotherly spirit in the morning court. Are you right?"
The crowd agreed.
Ji Gang and Yang Qiuchi sat down and talked for a while. At the time of Mao, they finally waited until they went to court.
The officials walked through the wide hall square and came to the Jinshen Hall. This was the place where the morning court came in one after another according to the size of the official rank, and stood in two arms.
Yang Qiuchi was a foreign official, and there was no place in the court. He was ordered to meet Jin, so he took Yang's mother and Feng Xiaoxue to wait outside the Jinshen Hall.
After waiting for a long time, he heard the sharp voice of the eunuch shouting: "The emperor ordered that Yang Qiuchi, the uncle of Xuanzhenyuan, and the wife of the Grandmother, see you~!"
Yang Qiuchi shook his sleeves and took Yang's mother and Feng Xiaoxue into the hall. According to the etiquette taught by the Ministry of Rites, he performed a ceremony of bowing and knocking three times. He said, "Long live the mouth."
After pausing for a while, he did not hear the voice of Ming Chengzu. Yang Qiuchi raised his head slightly and looked at it. He saw that in the hazy state, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was tall and could not see clearly. He seemed to have a horse-faced face, sitting there gloomy and without saying a word. He couldn't help but feel uneasy.
At this time, a eunuch next to him held a golden scroll and recited an imperial edict loudly. After a genius of boasting, he rewarded Yang Qiuchi, Yang's mother and Feng Xiaoxuedi.
After hearing the imperial edict, Yang Qiuchi learned the tricks. This time he finally understood it. The emperor appointed himself as the prefect of the third-rank Yingtian Prefecture and the Tongzhi of the Jinyiwei, who was promoted to Zhenyuan Marquis, with a salary of 1,500 stones, and was given a coupon. He was granted Yang's mother the wife of Zhenyuan Marquis and Feng Xiaoxue as the wife of Zhenyuan Marquis.
The prefect of Yingtian Prefecture is the mayor of the Ming Dynasty capital, equivalent to the current mayor of Beijing. Of course, his power is much greater than that of the current mayor. The supreme leader of the Jinyiwei was the commander, the third rank (Ji Gang was not much the same. He was the second rank governor and commander of the Jinyiwei), and he was the third rank. Therefore, Yang Qiuchi, the Tongzhi, was also one person in the Jinyiwei, and was more than ten thousand people, similar to his original commander envoy.
When Yang Qiuchi heard this, he was happy. He was not only happy that he was not only from being a fifth-rank magistrate of Baoning Prefecture and a fifth-rank magistrate of Bazhou, but directly jumped to being a third-rank magistrate of the third-rank magistrate (the original Gu Gong was promoted to a second-rank cabinet bachelor), but also became a real official of the Jinyiwei, and his title was also promoted to a marquis. What he was even happier was that he could finally be transferred back to serve as an official and be with Feng Xiaoxue and the others. Yang's mother and Feng Xiaoxue were also very happy about this.
Yang Qiuchi, Yang's mother and Feng Xiaoxue kowtowed and thanked her. Then, Ming Chengzu did not say a word, stood up and retreated.
Of course, all the ministers came up to congratulate. Yang Qiuchi smiled and thanked him repeatedly.
After leaving the court, Yang Qiuchi kept muttering in his heart, why did the emperor say nothing and let the eunuch proclaim the imperial edict and then leave the court. It was so strange.
After leaving Donghua Gate, Feng Xiaoxue excitedly held Yang Qiuchi's hand: "Husband, it's so great! You can come back to serve as an official!"
"Yes! When I was in the court just now, I was so happy that I wanted to laugh." Yang Qiuchi also said happily.
Liu Ruobing and Song Yuner were already waiting anxiously. When they saw Yang Qiuchi come out, they hurriedly came up. Yang Qiuchi briefly mentioned the reward. Both of them were very happy and hurriedly expressed their joy to Yang's mother and Feng Xiaoxue.
Yang's mother said, "What are you happy? I'm still trembling until now. Fortunately, I've been kneeling after I went in. I know now. Why do you want to kneel down when you see the emperor? It turns out that you can't stand even if you want to."
Everyone laughed.
Feng Xiaoxue also said excitedly: "Me too, my legs are still trembling now. After entering, I kept lowering my head, and I didn't even see what the emperor looked like."
Although she was not much better, Yang Qiuchi felt very caring after hearing Feng Xiaoxue's words, and stroked her cold face: "Don't worry, I'll see the emperor in the afternoon." He lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Hehe, in fact, the emperor also has one nostril and one mouth, nothing strange."
Feng Xiaoxue knew that Yang Qiuchi was encouraging her and had her husband by her side. She told herself that she didn't have to be afraid of anything. She looked at Yang Qiuchi and nodded happily.
The group returned to Yang's mansion, and the genius was bright.
The news that Yang Qiuchi took office as the prefect of the capital and the Jinyiwei Tongzhi spread immediately as the scattered court. For a period of time, the assistants from the Yingtian Prefecture Office and the Jinyiwei North Fushi Office came to congratulate him. In addition, other bureaucrats from all kinds and wealthy Jia from the capital came to congratulate him. Before he officially took office, a lot of gifts were collected.
