Chapter 112 What Yan Shaoting wants to do

Gu Huan's face changed, showing some uneasiness.

Even if I am trusted by His Majesty, what does it matter when I first took charge of the grain transport?

Because he was criticized in the court, he was recalled to the capital by the emperor and was confined at home for more than half a year.

It was not until the truth was revealed, or the disturbance had subsided, that he was released and transferred to the Beijing camp.

"May I ask, my dear reader, who is unwilling to believe that my Beijing Army is innocent?"

Yan Shaoting kept it a secret: "Does it matter who it is? What matters is, is the Beijing camp under the command of Marquis Gu really innocent?"

Gu Huan was silent.

There is no true innocence in this world.

With tens of thousands of soldiers in the Beijing garrison, how can everything be clean?

Seeing Gu Huan remained silent, Yan Shaoting raised his lips slightly and said, "Speaking of which, I have admired Lord Gu for a long time, but I have never met him. If there is a chance in the future, I hope Lord Gu will not hesitate to interact with me."

Gu Huan showed curiosity: "You are too kind, tutor."

Yan Shaoting shook his head repeatedly: "No, I am just telling the truth. When Marquis Gu was the governor of the grain transport, his reports were limited to grain transport, but they were very inspiring to me."

The curiosity on Gu Huan's face became even stronger, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.

Yan Shaoting had a smile on his face.

He asked himself honestly, and realized that he didn't have much advantage or superiority in the present situation. He was just familiar with things that had happened or were about to happen.

But it is precisely because of this that he can familiarize himself with the characters in these events in advance based on what is about to happen.

What is the easiest way to impress people in this era?
That is to make the other person deeply believe that you understand and respect him/her very well, and make him/her feel respected.

Gu Huan’s past is actually very simple, and what he did is also easy to summarize.

Yan Shaoting looked at Gu Huan, who was showing curiosity, with a smile in his eyes, and said softly: "In the 22nd year of Jiajing, Marquis Gu reported to His Majesty, stating seven issues concerning grain transport.

Seven issues, including the officials' exchanges, delays in grain transportation, the review and compilation of flags and armor, the light payment of silver, the scraping of iron for acceptance, the silver exchange by the leaders, and the complaints of the grain transport officials, were reported to the emperor himself, thus changing the past malpractices in grain transport.

I have studied it for a long time. If I ever become a local leader, the seven things that Marquis Gu reported in the past will be enough for me to learn from. "

The canal transportation is a thorn in Gu Huan's heart.

So many years have passed.

When he proposed seven issues concerning grain transport, he was supported by the emperor. However, he encountered unprecedented suppression when he implemented the reforms. In the end, he was forced to stay at home for nearly a year and all his official positions were taken away from him.

If the censor's investigation into the officials had not turned out to be untrue, or if all matters concerning the grain transport system had not been restored to the past, it is not certain whether Gu Huan would have been pardoned.

Hearing Yan Shaoting's approval of his memorial that was blocked by all the officials, anyone would be deeply moved.

Gu Huan turned his head and looked away, feeling endless emotion in his heart.

Among all the dignitaries in the court, who knows him?
Yan Shaoting could still remember clearly an event that happened almost twenty years ago, and he could describe in detail the seven matters concerning the grain transport that he had reported back then.

How could Gu Huan not be moved?

Gu Huan turned his head to look elsewhere, and after calming down, he turned back and nodded: "Mr. Yan, your words are too kind. I just stopped reporting to you for a while, how can I be so highly praised as a Mr. Yan?"

If it weren’t for the fact that you, Marquis Zhenyuan, really have some abilities and happen to be the governor of the Beijing camp.

How could I memorize all these things?

Yan Shaoting said with a smile: "Why should Lord Gu be so modest? His ability is his ability, and no one can deny it. It's just that he didn't do it at the right time. Now Lord Gu is the governor of the Beijing camp and has taken many good measures to boost the morale and combat effectiveness of the army. I heard that it has been quite effective, which proves that Lord Gu was not wrong at the beginning."

If there were not a difference between civil and military.

At this moment, Gu Huan wanted to drag Yan Shaoting home, drink and eat meat, and not let him go home until he was drunk.

The two of them had been walking on Imperial City West Street outside Xi'an Gate for quite some time.

Gu Huan hesitated and spoke again, "The tutor said before that someone would question the innocence of our Jingying. I don't ask who it is, but I would like to ask, if our Jingying is slandered, how should we defend ourselves?"

Yan Shaoting looked at Gu Huan deeply.

First of all, he did not doubt Gu Huan's ability.

But whether this Marquis Zhenyuan is worthy of their unity is another matter.

So, Yan Shaoting said softly: "Gu Hou is the governor of the Beijing Camp, and the Beijing Camp is responsible for protecting the capital and training for war on the border. It is related to the country of Ming Dynasty, so even if there are occasional small mistakes, it can be forgiven."

Gu Huan also nodded and said, "The Beijing Camp has nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses. Since I became the governor of the Beijing Camp, I have not dared to rest or neglect military affairs for a day, for fear that the Beijing Camp would be abandoned because of me.

The three armies in the Beijing camp are divided into three parts, and the affairs are complicated. I am not a perfect person, and I dare not say that there will be no mistakes or omissions.

But if someone wants to use the Xiyuan Incident to discredit my Beijing Camp, I, Gu Huan, will never tolerate it again!"

"That's natural. No one can discredit the Beijing camp."

Yan Shaoting echoed, restrained his expression, and changed the subject: "In fact, now that something like this has happened in the Western Garden, the Beijing Camp is more important to Your Majesty."

He said something unclearly.

Yan Shaoting bowed to Gu Huan and mounted his horse.

Before he was sure whether Gu Huan was a royalist or had his own selfish ideas, he did not intend to have any further discussion with him.

Seeing that Yan Shaoting was about to leave, Gu Huan also smiled and nodded and bowed.

"Thank you for your reminder today. I understand what you said."

After saying this, he politely nodded and bowed to Yan Shaoting regardless of his status.

Yan Shaoting returned the salute while sitting on horseback before riding away.

Gu Huan stood still and watched Yan Shaoting walk away until he disappeared from his sight.

Not long after, the Beijing Camp, which guarded the capital, sent a joint memorial from all the generals to the Yuxi Palace in the Western Garden.

It is actually very simple to summarize the meaning of the generals in the Beijing camp.

Although the Beijing Camp was not responsible for guarding the Xiyuan Incident this time, it did not dare to forget its duty to protect the emperor. It began military training from that day on and was ready to receive the emperor's military orders at any time.

This memorial was not concealed. After it was sent to the Yuxi Palace in the Western Garden, it was circulated in the court.

The Beijing Army has made its attitude clear: as long as the emperor needs it, the Beijing Army can do anything.

Regardless of whether the imperial court will take the opportunity to attack the Beijing camp this time, at least after the generals of the Beijing camp jointly submitted a memorial to the emperor to the Yuxi Palace.

Soon, the emperor's oral commendation was delivered to the Beijing camp.

It was at this time that the attention of all officials in the court slowly turned to Lord Yan, who had already taken over the authority to handle the Xiyuan Incident.

Although the Jinyiwei who had originally rushed into the offices of various ministries and suppressed the officials had already withdrawn.

But officials are still worried.

Now that the case has been handed over to Yan Shaoting, many people are worried about whether they will be investigated.

If he fails to handle it properly, he might be implicated in the Xiyuan Incident.

For this reason, officials such as those in the Ministry of Works' Military Equipment Bureau, the Saddle and Bridle Bureau, the Imperial Household Equipment Bureau, and various warehouses suddenly found themselves isolated in the court.

The good friends from the same dynasty who used to drink and have fun together started to act unfamiliar after just a few hours.

but.

Since Yan Shaoting left Xiyuan, there has been no action.

Even those officials from the Military Equipment Bureau, Saddle and Bridle Bureau and other departments who had been imprisoned in the Jinyiwei Prison were not allowed to wait for interrogation.

Instead, in front of the eyes and ears all over the street, he rode his horse back to Yan's house in silence.

Then the door of Yan's house was closed.

This caused everyone to feel confused again.

What exactly does Yan Shaoting want to do?
This approach of not asking about the case was obviously beyond everyone's expectations.

According to the original idea of ​​the court officials.

When Yan Shaoting received the order to investigate the case in Yuxi Palace, he would certainly conduct a thorough investigation of all parties, interrogate the officials in the imperial prison, and try to resolve the case as quickly as possible.

But now, they have returned home.

Do I need to have dinner first, then have a good sleep, and get enough rest before investigating the case?
But no matter what Yan Shaoting is going to do.

His action actually made those officials from the Military Equipment Bureau, Saddle and Bridle Bureau, and Weaponry Bureau, who had not been arrested and imprisoned in the imperial prison, feel increasingly uneasy.

Even officials from other government offices began to become suspicious.

Could it be that Yan Shaoting was planning to hold back on something big?
As a result, many people began to involuntarily wonder whether what they had done over the years might be related to the current case.

The stage has arrived where everyone is in danger.

Some people even began to eagerly look forward to Yan Shaoting taking action to investigate the case as soon as possible.

It’s better to check early and feel at ease.

Yan Shaoting, who was awaited by everyone, hurried to the side hall after returning to the Yan Mansion.

It was almost dusk and the light was dim.

When I arrived at the side hall, I saw a figure standing in the hall.

Yan Shaoting laughed out loud and walked into the room: "Mr. Wenchang is finally here. I have been waiting for so long. Although I know that Mr. Wenchang has entered the capital due to the Xiyuan Incident, I cannot personally go out of the city to greet him. I hope Mr. Wenchang will understand."

Following Yan Shaoting’s shout.

The figure in the room slowly turned around.

Xu Wei looked calmly at Yan Shaoting who walked into the room, but he felt mixed emotions in his heart.

At the beginning, Hu Zongxian was highly valued by the Yan Party, but he was dissatisfied with the Yan Party's harm to the country. At the beginning, Hu Zongxian repeatedly invited him to serve as a staff member, but he repeatedly refused. Finally, he hesitated for a long time before entering the governor's office.

This time, Hu Zongxian persuaded him many times, claiming that the Mr. Yan in front of him was by no means the same as the Yan Party in the past. He also hesitated for a long time before agreeing to go to Beijing.

This was my first time meeting Yan Shaoting, and I noticed that he was well-mannered and polite.

Xu Wei was slightly relieved.

At least he doesn't look like the kind of person who would take advantage of his power to bully others.

Xu Wei also clasped his hands together, nodded and leaned forward: "Mr. Yan, you are too kind. I came to the capital today and heard about the events in the Western Garden. Mr. Yan is in the imperial court, serving the emperor, and he must put the emperor's orders and state affairs first."

Yan Shaoting waved his hand, and seeing that tea was already in the room, he turned and looked outside: "Come on, serve some wine and food to welcome Mr. Xu."

After that, Yan Shaoting turned to look at Xu Wei again, smiling: "It just so happens that I also want to discuss this with Mr. Wen Chang."

Ever since Yan Shaoting came back, Xu Wei has been observing his words and expressions silently.

Hearing Yan Shaoting say this.

Xu Wei clasped his hands again and said, "Do you want to talk about the affairs of the southeast or the affairs of the capital? It just so happens that I have something to tell you, I wonder if you are willing."
