Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

"Ambassador Su, please, this is the post house of the joint officers of the Ministry of War." The two deputy envoys respectfully led Su Mu to visit his new job post.

The Huitong Hall is only two miles away from the imperial city, and the place is quite large, with a total of more than 50 rooms.

It became the guest house of the Ministry of War, and its main task was to receive military attaches who came to Beijing for business.The ambassador Su Mu, to put it bluntly, is the director of the Ministry of National Defense Guest House.

Precisely because the official position is too small, generally speaking, the rank of this ambassador is low. He is only a ninth-rank official, not even a Zhima official, and he is not in the top class at all.

What's more, the officers in the army are all rich, and they don't have the integrity of civil servants. They have a lot of money, and they go to Beijing to report on their duties. How can they live in such a simple place.In the fancy world like the capital city, there are many brothels, Chu pavilions, and high-end inns.

Therefore, during the year, few people can be seen here.

Asking Su Mu to come here as an ambassador is purely for him to retire.

Su Mu also knew that the reason why he was sent here was that the emperor was angry with him.

After a while, when the emperor's anger subsides, he can change his place.

After all, it would be the greatest joke in the world to ask a Hanlin editor, the number one scholar, to do this kind of work.Not to mention anything else, the scriptures written by Guangyu envoys can make Zhengde drink a pot.

Therefore, Su Mu probably wouldn't stay in this place for long.

Although he was at peace in his heart, when he saw the situation in front of him, Su Mu was still furious and his face was ugly.

Seeing Su Mu's uneasy expression, the two deputy envoys and a group of yamen servants around him trembled and complained: "What kind of thing is it that the dignified number one scholar came to be an ambassador?"

Moreover, Mr. Su also bears the title of first-class earl, which is also the sixth rank.

Is this simply the first high-quality ambassador since the dynasty?

In the future, how can I do this job?This old man, how will he serve you in the future?

Such a big man sits in the same hall, and other generals dare to live in the capital when they come to Beijing?

……

After inspecting his own three-acre land, he took a sip of tea in the humble office, but found that the tea was very bitter.

Su Mu became more and more annoyed: Boy Zhengde, you play tricks on people like this, you just force me to bow my head to you, it's a good idea!This place is good, I will work here for a while, and I will take care of my health.

The Tatars in Shanxi are becoming more and more unstable, and it is estimated that they will invade after autumn. At that time, it may be the time for me, Sumu, to return to the core of the empire's decision-making.

Well, the materials at hand have not been prepared yet, so I just took this opportunity to sort out my thoughts.

For the next few days, Su Mu simply borrowed a lot of files and studied them carefully.

Anyway, he has a high status and high prestige, as long as he asks, there is no information that cannot be borrowed.

In this way, the Huitong Hall became a big study.

After reading a lot of books, Su Mu is somewhat satisfied with his current leisurely life.

Xie Tianran had already gone to Datong, and before leaving, Su Mu didn't talk nonsense, but told him to study military well after going to Datong, which would definitely be useful in the future.

Guan Jizong knew that it was Su Mu's face that he got the post of magistrate, so he came to thank him, and said that Bachelor Su Mu had kept him a secret, and he didn't expect that Su Ziqiao, who was famous all over the world, turned out to be Mei Fugui.

Su Mu just smiled and didn't explain.

On the front line of Shanxi, one article and one military, he planted two nails, only waiting for the war in Shanxi, that is, he will gain military merits and a good opportunity to be named a marquis.

A month passed quickly, and the weather gradually warmed up.

Shanxi is still peaceful, and it will probably not be until after the autumn when the Tatars invade.

************************************************** **

Xiyuan Leopard Room.

"Damn it, hate it!" Emperor Zhengde was in iron armor, wielding a wooden knife, and slashed on a tall warrior like raindrops.

The man was also in armor.

Zhengde's wooden knife slashed at him, making a loud sound.

"Qian Ning, you only have this ability, fight back, fight back!" Zhengde shouted angrily.

That's right, the opponent was Qian Ning, commander of Jinyi's army.

He clumsily waved the wooden knife in his hand, but how could he resist Zhu Houzhao's attack? No hand!"

"You bastard, your martial arts skills are worthy of being a commander?"

With a click, the wooden knife snapped in two.

"Long live, long live!" A middle-aged eunuch called and walked in.

Qian Ning seemed to be pardoned, and hurriedly stepped aside, took off his helmet and panted heavily, revealing a sweaty face.Looking at his facial features, he has an ordinary face, very simple and honest, but there is a hint of cunning in his eyes that no one knows.

In his eyes, Emperor Zhengde's moves looked beautiful, but they were full of loopholes.It's all about strength and speed.This kind of martial art is of course easy to use on the battlefield. After all, on the battlefield, there are huge crowds of people, and everyone is huddled together. Even the most exquisite moves cannot be used.You can only use the greatest strength to knock down the enemy in the shortest time.

But in a one-on-one contest, I can knock it down instantly.It's just that I dare not.If he annoyed Lord Long Live, would he still be the Commander of Jin Yiwei?

He felt aggrieved: Your Majesty, you wanted to hear Su Mu's news, but when you heard it, you were not happy like this.In my opinion, if you continue to hate that Sumu, you might as well just find an excuse to kill him, so why bother?

The eunuch who came was none other than Zhang Yong, the eunuch in charge of the official seal.

"It's you, what's the matter?" Zhang Houzhao threw away the half-cut wooden knife in his hand, shook his numb right hand, and gave Qian Ning a look: "Didn't you say that all martial arts are on the bow? On the battlefield, when the horse is in the lead, you have to hide behind and shoot arrows, what kind of a hero is it, and you have fallen into my prestige."

"Long Live Lord taught me the right lesson." Qian Ning felt even more aggrieved, so he could only respond in a low voice.

Zhang Yong has recently been in charge of the Lijian Supervisor and the [-]th Regiment Battalion in the capital, taking over Liu Jin's former position, and he is in high spirits.However, in view of Liu Jin's miserable fate in the past, he was very low-key.Hearing Zhengde's question, he responded: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Cisheng invites Your Majesty to enter the palace to speak."

"Oh, it's the Queen Mother who has a trick. I've been so busy playing these days that I forgot to pay my respects to the Queen Mother." Zhengde smiled: "This nagging is unavoidable."

Zhang Yong: "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, and you can't enter the palace a few times in a month. The Queen Mother also knows that she told the slaves not to disturb you. However, according to the slaves, the Lord Long Live only needs to visit the Queen Mother every now and then. , she will be very happy in the old man's heart, so how can she be nagging?"

Hearing what Zhang Yong said, Zhengde said with a smile: "You slave can talk, what are you doing with government affairs? I have no interest in state affairs. Anyway, there are Li Shoufu and two Yang Ge elders, as well as Liu Zhong, Jiang Mian, Liang If they are here, nothing will happen to this country. I found out that my Ming Dynasty can run well even without an emperor. So, I don’t want to bother with this, and just be the shopkeeper.”

In recent months, the cabinet has added new members, and Yang Yiqing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, joined the cabinet.

The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six ministries. According to the state system, the heavenly official who controls the personnel power of the entire Ming Dynasty must be a cabinet minister.Otherwise, if the cabinet does not control the appointment and dismissal of officials, it would not be a good idea.

To be honest, Liu Jin's death made Masanori very sad.In the past few months, he has been too lazy to take care of government affairs, and has been playing in the leopard room all day.

Probably because he also knew that Zhengde was depressed, the cabinet and the civil service system did not bother him.The imperial power and the prime minister's power have their own positions, and the well water does not violate the river water.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother actually sent Zhang Yong over.

Zhengde thought in his heart: Probably the queen mother is unhappy when she sees that I am lazy in political affairs, so she wants to come to persuade me.
