Chapter 10 Meeting at the Yamen Meeting

 Zhao Tong returned home and was speechless all night. After a few days, the Ministry of Revenue finally transferred the yamen of the Guards and Military Division, but he was also in the East City, not far from the palace.

Zhao Tong took some people to take care of it first, arrange it according to his own ideas, buy flowers, plants and trees, which delayed some time. Then he chose a good and auspicious day and summoned his generals to discuss the matter.

The armies under the Palace Front Division and the Guards and Military Division were originally different, but the Guards and Guards Division did not have a capital commander for many years, so the Palace Front Division was the main one. Now that the Yamen have been reopened, the palace is full of people and overcrowded.

Headed by the respective governors of the Ma Bu Army, Yuhou, there were also military governors, supervisors, commanders, officials, generals, and Ma Bu people all came to pay homage. Each of them presented his handbook and reported the name of the flower.

After Zhao Tong finished the roll call, he saw that the instructor was missing Zhang Cheng. He knew that this must be the little lady's father, so he said nothing and just lectured.

He knew that the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army had a serious shortage of quotas. In the past, most of the empty pay quotas were taken by Gao Qiu. Now that he has taken up his post, according to the unwritten rules of the army, Gao Qiu should quietly send over the account book of the empty pay quotas, but now it seems that

But it was obviously because he didn't understand. Even before Gao Yanei died, Gao Qiu didn't see any action. This was not revenge, but an attempt to embarrass him from the beginning.

Zhao Tong didn't point it out at this moment, but just said: "Generals, listen, in the past, Mabu and Yamen were separated. There was neither a commander in chief nor a prince in Yu, and they were all in charge of their own affairs. Now the government has resettled the pro-military department, and the two

Together they become one, and there are many vacant positions."

"From top to bottom, they are all high-ranking officials. Now the biggest among you are the Du Yuhou of the cavalry army and the Du Yuhou of the infantry army. We still lack the duchess of Yu for both armies, the chief and deputy commanders of the cavalry army, and the general and negative commanders of the infantry army.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Capital, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of both armies, do the math, it’s really a big stall!”

As soon as Zhao Tong said these words, there were immediately those with gleaming eyes and thoughts ready to move.

Zhao Tong looked around and said with a smile: "In the past, you were oppressed by the front minister, and everything you did was recorded on the head of the front minister. Now there is no need. Since this king has promoted this place, you should know who you are going to name."

Lord!"

The people below immediately said in unison: "The prince is the main one."

Zhao Tong nodded: "I won't talk about many things today, leaving you free time to do it. Those who are close to the front secretary can leave early, and I won't stop them. But those who want to stay but are half-hearted, when they arrive,

Don’t blame me for not thinking about affection.”

No one dares to say no. After all, the prince and the minister are different. They belong to the same family, and there are high-ranking officials vacant. For a while, even those who were close to Gao Qiu immediately thought of switching families.

Zhao Tao asked about the situation in the army again. These generals bravely answered the truth. When Zhao Tao just nodded, they unknowingly revealed something about the empty pay.

Zhao Tong didn't blame them, he just asked them to go back and think about it carefully, and if they had anything to do, they could go to the palace to see them.

These Forbidden Army officers were all veteran soldiers. They could not tell what Zhao Tong was saying. They all looked at each other and winked, with their own plans in mind.

Zhao Tong knew that the Imperial Guards in the capital had become extremely corrupt, so he didn't feel any trouble in his heart. He just dismissed all the generals and went back home.

He is different from Gao Qiu as the commander of the imperial guards and military divisions. Gao Qiu has the title of Kaifu Yi and the third division commander, so he must go to court, but he can go to court or not. If there is a military or official call from outside, then

You are the one who wants to go, otherwise you can just relax until the end.

After returning home, Lei San came to report that just now the young lady of the Zhang family came with her maid Jin'er to express her gratitude.

Zhao Tong nodded, thinking it was a good thing that the young lady had figured it out, but he wondered: "Isn't He the young lady of the Lin family?"

Lei San said: "Then Lin Chong wrote a divorce letter and sent it to the government office for filing. Naturally, she is no longer the young lady of the Lin family."

Zhao Tong thought for a moment and said, "That's the same. Take me to see her."

Lei San took the order, led the way to the front of the back house, and then retreated. Another maid led him to a small courtyard.

There is an attic in the small courtyard, a two-story wooden building, elegant and beautiful. There is a small garden next to the building. It is spring now, with flowers blooming, competing for their beauty, and butterflies dancing and fragrant.

Jin'er stood in front of the courtyard gate and saw a maid leading a person. Judging from his appearance, he knew that he was the second king of the mansion here. He immediately panicked. After bowing, he wanted to go in to report, but was stopped by Zhao Tao with a wave of his hand.

He walked into the small courtyard alone and saw the little lady standing by the garden, looking at the colorful flowers in a daze.

Zhao Tong looked at it for a while, then walked over and said, "Are you getting used to living here?"

The young lady suddenly noticed that a man was speaking, and couldn't help but let out an "ouch". She lifted up her skirt and was about to run into the building. However, she only ran a few steps, but she recognized Zhao Tong's voice, then turned around with a blushing face.

Congratulations, but I didn’t say a word.

Zhao Tongqi said: "I heard that you went to thank me, but why didn't you say anything at this moment? I asked you if you were used to living here, but you didn't say anything."

The young lady lowered her head and said, "I'm not used to it!"

Zhao Tong wondered: "Why are you not used to it?"

The young lady said: "You are never as free and unrestrained as at home."

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "I also know this is true, but now you can't go back. Gao Qiu's only son is dead. How much hatred is this? I think Coach Zhang also told you that he is not an ordinary person.

Officer, I have tens of thousands of forbidden troops under my command. I want to kill your little girl, but I can’t catch you!"

The young lady said: "I don't want to live anymore, and I'm not afraid of him coming to kill me!"

Zhao Tong said: "Send it to Jiaofangsi?"

The young lady said: "I'm not afraid of death, so what?"

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "How about selling it to Goulan?"

The young lady looked up at him and said, "Don't scare me."

Zhao Tong shook his head: "You think this is a peaceful world in Tokyo City, and now you have seen some things. It is common for families to be destroyed overnight. There are worse things than this. You don't know. It's okay for me to protect you. If I If you don’t protect you, even if Gao Qiu doesn’t cause trouble for you, you may be alone and live alone, and you may be missing one day without even knowing it.”

The young lady said: "How is this possible? The neighbors on the left and right are not widowed sisters. Which one is as terrible as you said?"

Zhao Tong shook his head, walked slowly to the front of the garden, and said, "They are not as beautiful as these flowers. Don't you know why you got into such trouble as Gao Yanei?"

The young lady's cheeks suddenly turned pink with embarrassment, and she said: "What nonsense are you talking about? I can't get used to living here and I want to leave. If you stop me, what's the difference between me and the yamen?"

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "What's wrong with you?"

The young lady said: "You have a distinguished status and there are many rules in this house, but I can't stand them."

Zhao Tong said: "Which one is bound to you?"

The young lady said: "I'm not afraid of meeting all the ladies in your family. I'm afraid that I won't be able to defend myself at all, and it will be difficult to get clean!"

Zhao Tong thought for a while: "Except for the maids, you are the only lady in the back house of Nuo Da. Which lady do you want to meet?"

The young lady was stunned when she heard this, and then said after a few breaths: "I feel sad when I can't see the old things at home."
