The capital is heavily guarded, with 26 guards from the emperor’s army inside, and five guards staying in the capital outside, which is directly related to the security of the capital. Therefore, the guards added this time, seemingly from the small officials and ordinary guards under the seventh rank, still attracting people who want to fight.

The reason is very simple. First put your own person in. If the other party has good luck, the future will change, who knows how much benefit it will bring? If the world has been peaceful, you should find an errand for your cronies and settle down.

Xu Jin is preparing to support Fu Chen Liang Tong. It is not simply to please Fu Rong. Of course, if they are not Fu Rong's relatives or his future in-laws, if they are not known in the previous life that both of them have real talents, Xu Jin is also They may not be chosen, at least they will not be targeted at the two before the result of the contest.

But he was not so sure about what he said to Fu Rong. As far as he knew, the prince, King Kang, and the fifth princes all recommended candidates. In the end, it depends on the martial arts of Fu Chen Liang Tong. Only they are truly outstanding. , He secretly planned to come in handy.

First was the primary election, and Fu Chen and Liang Tong passed easily.

In the second round of selection the next morning, all candidates passed this time can stay as guards. As for whether they can get the official rank, it depends on their performance in the final round of the afternoon.

At night, Fu Chen and Liang Tong stayed in the palace to eat like the other six players in the final.

Fu Ding sent someone back to Marquis Residence to send a message.

Knowing that both his son and prospective son-in-law have been selected for the final election, the Qiao family was happy and apprehensive. He couldn't sit still and walked around the room. It’s an official status to be elected, I don’t know if they two will do it."

Although Fu Rong doesn’t accept Xu Jin’s help, he is considered to be a quasi-crediter, and he is not as nervous as his mother. "Don’t worry, my brother and Liang are among the top young talents in Xin Capital, absolutely no problem. By the way, mother, are all the gifts we bring back ready?"

Speaking of going home, Qiao became a little calmer thinking of his youngest son who hadn't seen him for almost a month, and talked to Sister Fu Rong about returning to the city.

At this time, in the official office of the imperial city, Xu Jin was accompanying Zuo Shilang Cui Fangli for lunch.

Nowadays, Mr. Ruan, Shangshu, the official minister, is old and sick, and is recuperating at home twice in three days. He has repeatedly handed over Zhezi to ask him to return to his hometown. Emperor Jiahe Nianqi was an old official of the first emperor. He was upright and honest. He couldn't bear to leave. He ordered him to live and heal. He sent an imperial physician to see him every day. He only waited for his body to return to the court when he recovered. The matter is temporarily taken over by Zuo Shilang.

One is the real chief of the staff, and the other is the prince. The two naturally do not eat in the dining hall, and occupy a separate room.

After a meal break, Cui Fangli glanced at the list in his hand and asked Xu Jin: "Do you know these two people?"

He is nearly 60 years old, his body is slightly blessed, his complexion is ruddy, and his facial features are faintly visible in his youthful handsomeness. Now that he is old, Junya has settled into a gentle and gentle, slightly muddy eyes looking over, calm and insightful, as if he can see through the minds of others at a glance.

Before getting married with Fu Rong, Xu Jin did not intend to let anyone know about his relationship with Fu Family, but in the face of his maternal grandfather, he did not hide it completely. His expression was as usual: "I stayed in Xin Capital when I went to the south for errands. Today, I have some friendship with Fu Chen and I know that he is a talent. Liang Tong has excellent martial arts and lack of resourcefulness, but as the eldest grandson of Ji Zhou, he is also worthy of cultivation."

Cui Fangli understood. His grandson saw the potential of the two teenagers. However, he looked at Fu Chen's family and asked with some uncertainty: "You are confident to use them as your own?" Direction.

Xu Jin laughed: "You only remember that Fu Family had a concubine, why did you forget that they also married the daughter of the Qin family? Grandfather should know Jingyanghou. He always acted calmly and never participated in any gang formation, even The eldest daughter was selected as a concubine, but that person was upset and arranged secretly. If Jingyang was elected, he would never send his daughter to be a concubine."

The prince's concubine, no matter how good it sounds, is also a concubine. Fu Pinchuan protects his shortcomings. The eldest daughter was designed to enter the prince's mansion. He may hate more than Xiduo in his heart.

"But his daughter entered the East Palace after all." Cui Fangli reminded calmly. Jingyanghou did not like the prince any more, and for the sake of his daughter, he would not help others against the prince, or help other princes.

Xu Jin put down the tea cup and looked out the window: "Jingyanghou is Jingyanghou and Fu Pinyan is Fu Pinyan. What the brother does not want to do, Fu Pinyan may not be unwilling. Grandfather can only help and support the two of them. Jingxing has his own plan and will never make wedding dresses for others."

His tone and expression remained the same, but Cui Fangli suddenly remembered that when Emperor Jiahe made a decision, he had the same self-confidence, which was also beyond doubt. Seeing his grandson's face resembling Emperor Jiahe, he shook his head and smiled: "Well, I will help you with success or failure, and the emperor will decide."

"Excuse me." Xu Jin personally refilled the old man's cup of tea and chatted about his daily routine. "How is Mingcheng's recent books? I haven't seen him for a while."

He has two uncles. Master Cui is only a mediocre student, and slowly gains qualifications in the Ministry of Industry. Master Cui Er took his wife to leave Jingzhou, but he has some political achievements. The Mingcheng mentioned by Xu Jin is Dafang’s only son Cui Xun, who is two years younger.

Thinking of the eldest grandson in the family, Cui Fangli snorted coldly, "Wandering around all day, talking about him, but Wan Wan, she didn't cause trouble for your mother in the palace, right?"

Xu Jin said: "The cousin is cute and always stays with my mother. Don't worry. It's not early, let's go."

Cui Fangli nodded and went back with him as a errand.

Seeing that the selection of the guards was about to take place in another two quarters of an hour, Cui Fangli went to the Chongzheng Hall to wait for Emperor Jiahe. Today, Emperor Jiahe was relatively leisurely. He knew that he was going to choose the guards, so he decided to go and have a look in person, and ordered the Prince to accompany him.

Seats were set up on the martial arts court early, with Emperor Jiahe sitting in the middle. Prince and Cui Fangli were standing on the left and right. Four commanders including Jinwuwei Shencewei, who needed to select officers, also came to watch the match.

First compare riding, Fu Chen first, Liang Tong second.

Compared with bows and arrows, Liang Tong first, Fu Chen third.

In the last round, Liang Tong was first and Fu Chen was second.

At the end of the competition, the top four came forward to pay the respects. Emperor Jiahe asked Liang Tong first: "Are you a child of the Liang family of Ji Zhou?"

Liang Tongsheng is like Hong Zhong: "Yes."

When the emperor asked, with such a rare opportunity to show his face, he actually only replied a word. Emperor Jiahe smiled, and after a few words of praise, he moved his eyes to Fu Chen: "Are you the eldest son of Jingyang Hou Erfang? Your appearance will follow you. Father, when I saw you, I remembered that more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye when I appointed your father to explore the flowers."

Fu Chen was flattered and knelt down and thanked him: "The emperor is thick! After leaving the palace, he immediately went home and wrote a letter, telling his father exactly what the emperor said. His father would be grateful when he saw it. Wang Jing would like to thank the emperor."

The emperor laughed loudly, and turned his head to the prince: "Look, you are worthy of being the son of Tanhua. With this eloquence, if you are studying for a Jinshi, you may be able to seal a Tanhua in the future and become a father and son double Tanhua!"

The prince smiled and agreed, secretly glanced at Song Zheng, who was recommended to him by someone under him, and felt dissatisfied. Knowing that Song Zheng was so unbearable, he should have attracted Fu Chen sooner. Fortunately, he and Marquis Jingyang are in-laws. He sent someone back to give a gift. When they meet in the future, they will call a little bit. These two teenagers naturally know what to do. Act.

With this idea, when Emperor Jiahe asked him about his views on awarding an official, the prince thought for a moment and said: "The son of the minister thought that Liang Shaoqu was adept with bows and arrows, and it was most appropriate to award the Jinwuwei flag."

Of the four health centers, only Jin Wuwei is the personal guard, which is also the most attractive position for this selection. Regarding the relationship, he and Fu Chen are closer to each other, but Liang Tong took two firsts. He can't be too partial. Anyway, Liang Tong is his own.

Emperor Jiahe asked Cui Fangli again.

Cui Fangli saluted the prince, and said: "The minister recommended Liang Shaoqu to enter the Shencewei."

The Shence Guardsman is located in the western suburbs of the capital, which is an important place for military officials near the capital, where the elite troops stationed in the capital, guarding the safety of the capital.

Emperor Jiahe thought for a while, and after listening to Cui Fangli's suggestion, he named Liang Tong as a small banner of Shencewei. The loyalty of the guards who are not around is the most important. Liang Tong's stupid and honest mouth is even more reassuring. After that, Emperor Jiahe didn't ask others for their opinions, and directly ordered Fu Chen as the Jinwuwei flag, and the other two had their own arrangements.

Cui Fangli returned to the staff department and nodded towards Xu Jin.

Xu Jin is very satisfied. If it fails, Fu Chen Liang Tong will not feel too pity, they have the ability, and sooner or later they will rise, that is, in Fu Rong's heart, It's afraid that there will be multiple charges of lying and coaxing her. The little girl's anger came to mind last night, and Xu Jin started to have a headache again. Should she go to apologize tonight, or wait two days for her to calm down?

Back to the palace in the evening, but received a post from the butler.

At the end of the month, Princess Yongning celebrated her birthday and invited him to a dinner.

Xu Jin stared at the post for a while.

Princess Yongning is the father and aunt, his aunt and grandmother, the old lady of the Qing Kingdom government. She has two daughters, one is Concubine Duan, one of her favorite concubines, and the other is Xu Yan's mother, the princess of the county.

Princess Yongning is on her birthday, and the princess's family is already on her way, right?

Several princes and princes must have received the post. Xu Jin put the post on the table and asked Xu Jia: "Is it also received at Marquis Residence?"

Xu Jia replied: "Yes, it's just that I don't know if the three girls will go."

Xu Jin nodded and motioned for him to go out.

Only himself in the room, Xu Jin leaned on the couch, took out a long-lived strand from his chest, and gently turned the five-color beads on it.

Will she go to a banquet? Mrs. Lin is used to doing face-saving work. If Fu Rong wants to, he can definitely go.

Then she went, simply to join in the fun, or...

Last time the subordinate reported that she slapped Xu Yan, maybe she didn't like Xu Yan?

No, if she goes, she may not only see Xu Yan, but also King An.

The hand turning the five-color beads suddenly clenched.

Xu Jin opened his eyes and fixedly stared at the long life in his hands.

Does she have any thoughts about King An? Take this opportunity to take a look. If not, he really does what he says, and he will not bully her before marriage. On the contrary...

The corners of the man's mouth moved, and the meaning was unclear.
