This is not only the first time Han Xiufeng has come to the Military Affairs Office, but also the first time he has entered the Forbidden City.

In order to prevent the lights from being allowed to light at night in the Forbidden City, the road from Xihuamen to Longzongmen was dark and stumbled. If Eunuch Liu had not been familiar with the road, he would not have known how many falls would have fallen. It is said that several Beijing officials came to attend the dynasty meeting before dawn, but because they could not see the road clearly, one of them accidentally fell into the Yuhe River and drowned.

However, Eunuch Liu had to send him to the Longzong Sect, because further inwards was the military aircraft.

Han Xiufeng was about to thank him when he heard the guards guarding the gate shouting in the shadows: "Who is coming!"

"I gave the title of the registered military officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Public Affairs, Han Xiufeng walked on the military officer and came to see Lord Peng Yunzhang!" Han Xiufeng hurriedly took out the "consensus" he had taken from his arms when he applied for a waist card in the afternoon at the Office of Internal Affairs, and presented it with his hands like the palace gates that he had passed before.

The waist card is prohibited for entering and leaving the palace during the day, and the qualities are the certificates for entering and leaving the palace at night.

The talisman that conforms to the talisman is composed of two fans, written in seal script with the words "Imperial Imperial Imperial" in Yangwen. The talisman of Yinwen is kept by the guards guarding the imperial city. When civil and military officials are ordered or have urgent official duties to enter the palace at night, they must hold the talisman of Yangwen to go to the talisman to check the yin and Yangwen fans before they can pass.

However, this is Long Sect, neither Xihua Sect nor Donghua Sect. The guard guards did not have the talisman card with the insidious text in their hands, so a guard walked out of the shadow to take the talisman card and then reached out to ask, "Where is the waist card?"

"Oh, the waist tag is here." Han Xiufeng quickly took out his head and marked the yamen in Manchu and Chinese language. He put it on the waist tag with official positions and white faces and no other characteristics.

The guard couldn't see clearly and was even illiterate. He looked at Han Xiufeng up and down and confirmed that Han Xiufeng, who entered the palace late at night, did not carry weapons, and bowed: "Don't bother Mr. Han, wait a moment, so I'll go and inform Mr. Han now."

"I'm working on my brother." Han Xiufeng bowed and replied, then turned around and thanked Eunuch Liu who had been here all the way.

This is not the place to speak. Eunuch Liu bowed and returned the gift, and turned around without saying anything. Not long after watching Eunuch Liu leave, the guards returned, handed over the talisman and waist cards, and then turned sideways and said, "Master Han, Lord Peng is welcome."

"Thank you."

Following the guards crossed the high door frame and came to a row of low public rooms, they finally saw a light. Not only were there lights in it, but there were even many people.

Seeing that the guards were sent to the steps, Han Xiufeng did not dare to go in just like this, and bowed again and said, "I gave the Segubatulu Tongzheng Envoy to the Registered Military Machinery and Zhangjing to walk on the Military Machinery and Zhangjing. Han Xiufeng came to pay homage to Lord Peng!"

The rules of the Military Affairs Office were to complete the business on the same day, so Peng Yunzhang had to stay up for a while. He didn't expect that even Prince Gong's advice would not be listened to, so he forced Han Si to reward Han Si's registered military Zhangjing, and ordered Han Si to "extra" walk on the military affairs. He didn't expect that it was so late, Han Si would go to the palace to ask for a meeting.

Everyone came, and they walked in with a swagger. It was really unreasonable to see him. Peng Yunzhang sighed helplessly, took off his reading glasses and looked up and said, "Come in, talk."

"Sir Xie." Han Xiufeng stepped onto the steps and opened the curtain to walk into the public room.

When he came in, Peng Yunzhang was sitting cross-legged on the wooden kang to clean up the official documents on the small table. Han Xiufeng was about to dust off the horse's hooves and salute, but Peng Yunzhang waved his hand: "It's so late, there is no need to be polite."

"grown ups……"

"Tell me, what's the urgent matter if you enter the palace so late?"

"My Lord, I am sorry for my crime. I have no urgent matters or any important official duties when I enter the palace so late. I think of the extra work of walking on the military machine and the government, and I think I should come to pay my respects to you."

As the saying goes, "Not to hit a smile on your face," not to mention that the outrageous official fortune of the Tongzhengsi Senator in front of him had a big favor after he helped his old friend. Peng Yunzhang really couldn't help but scold Han Xiufeng for entering the palace late at night, pondering: "Since you're here, be familiar with your colleagues first, and leave the palace together after I finish my work."

"Thank you!"

"Cao Yuying, this is the new Senator of Tongzheng Department, Han Xiufeng. Please help me to bring Senator Han to familiarize yourself with it first."

"The lower official obeys the order."

Han Xiufeng noticed that there was still someone in the corner. When he thought of the situation introduced by Eunuch Liu on the way to the palace, he suddenly realized that the Cao Yuying who had just stood up was actually the foreman of the military Ji Zhangjing, and quickly bowed and bowed.

Cao Yuying replied with a perfunctory gift, threw down the words "Brother Han, please," and then opened the curtain and walked out of the "Da Junior Machinery" paying room. Han Xiufeng bowed to Peng Yunzhang again, and then hurriedly followed.

The offices of the military officers were divided into houses and houses. The military officers were mainly helped the military officers draft Manchu decrees and official documents, and at the same time assisted the military officers in the Beijing Banners and the provincial garrisons and the two northwest military officers, responsible for the drafting of rewards for the tribute of Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia, vassal departments and lamas, and in charge of some internal affairs of the Military Office.

Han Zhangjing, who was on duty in the Hanwu, mainly assisted the Minister of Military Affairs to handle the orders for civil servants in various departments and provinces in Beijing, the orders for military officers in the green camp, the rewards for ministers inside and outside the princes and ministers and the rewards for foreign tribute envoys, the handling of the investigation and responsibilities assigned by the emperor, as well as the receipt and receipt of official documents from the Military Affairs Office and each government office, the clearance of files, and the closure of the counters.

Now Liangjiang, Huguang, Shandong are in trouble, and the Western barbarians are at Dagukou again. Therefore, the military commanders and officials also need to retrieve maps from various places from the Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of War, Lifanyuan and other yamen, and check the memorials and even the works of the governors of Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Liangjiang, Huguang and other places on military affairs, and even the books of the provinces. They must understand the mountains, rivers, terrain of various places, soldiers, money, grain, etc. in various places. Only in this way can the emperor submit it immediately if he asks.

In short, Zhang Jing, the two military aircraft of Manchu and Han squads on duty at night, were busier than the other, and the official documents on the table were piled up like a mountain. After Cao Yuying introduced them, they just said hello and didn't even have the time to greet them. They were obviously officials, but they did the same job as clerks.

Han Xiufeng could even see the eyes of these colleagues in the Military Affairs Office full of envy. It was not that he was envious of how strong Han Xiufeng was, but that Han Xiufeng was also walking on the Military Affairs Office without having to work hard with them.

This situation reminded Han Xiufeng of his spare time in the yamen, and he was often busy all night long like them. The only difference is that they were all busy with national affairs, and at that time they were so busy that the county magistrate quickly compiled a copy of the household registration yellow book or the money and grain account book to deal with the inspection of the government office and even the Road Administration.

He was secretly sighing, and Peng Yunzhang's voice came from outside: "Senator Han, I am finished, please leave the palace with me."

Han Xiufeng realized that Peng Yunzhang should have something to say, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Cao Yuying, who had just taken him around. When he walked out of the public housing of Zhangjing, he found that the treatment of "large military aircraft" and "small military aircraft" was different. A guard actually came over with a lantern. At a glance, he knew that the guard was preparing to send Peng Yunzhang out of the palace with a lantern.

There may be guards leading the way with lanterns in front, and it is not convenient to speak. Peng Yunzhang walked in front with a steady official step without saying a word, and Han Xiufeng could only follow behind without saying a word.

It was not until he walked out of Donghua Gate and the Peng family guarding outside the palace gate was carrying the lanterns and led the sedan chair forward to greet him. Peng Yunzhang suddenly turned around and asked, "Ambition is clear and the autumn is clear and the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Do you want to accompany me around?"

"Sir, Xiufeng dares not obey orders."

"Don't force yourself if you don't want to leave."

"Being able to accompany the adults to visit the imperial city at night is a blessing that Xiufeng has cultivated in his eight lifetimes."

"Then let's go."

Peng Yunzhang signaled the sedan chairman to follow him. When Han Xiufeng saw that the family member who was lying on the lantern wanted to come forward but did not dare, he simply walked over and took the lantern, returned to Peng Yunzhang and said respectfully: "Please, sir."

Peng Yunzhang thought to himself that he was indeed a person with vision, and said lightly as he walked: "Dezhong met me last night and said you plan to recommend him to be the county magistrate in Fujian."

"Dezhong is the person recommended to Xiufeng by the adults, and is also a colleague of Xiufeng. He not only helped the Heying camp, but also went to Fucheng formation to serve. Xiufeng knew what kind of person he was. The emperor ordered Xiufeng to use people for the errands, and he also had to use people who were both morally and capable and had a solid foundation. Therefore, most of the candidates recommended by Xiufeng were candidates like Dezhong who worked in Heying."

"That's true for me?"

"Sir, please forgive me. This matter has little to do with you."

"Tell the truth," Peng Yunzhang smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "You are really a talented person and not a relative."

"Sir, if you change to a different job, Xiufeng will definitely avoid suspicion, but now Xiufeng can only recommend the virtuous but not the relatives, and can only use a trustworthy person."

"Is the emperor correct?"

"The emperor has agreed. If everything goes well, Dezhong will be able to leave Beijing to take office within three to five days."

"Dezhong is really following you." Peng Yunzhang sighed, and suddenly changed his tone: "Zhixing, I am not invisible. Today, the emperor ordered you to walk on the military machine Zhangjing. I think it is inappropriate. If Prince Gong did not hand over the sign to ask for a meeting and did not beg the emperor to think twice, I would also hand over the sign to ask for a meeting, and would also beg the emperor to take back his life!"

Han Xiufeng didn't expect that Peng Yunzhang would pick up any pot without opening it, and hurriedly said, "I think Xiufeng is not suitable for walking on the military machine Zhangjing, so there is naturally a reason for him."

"Don't you hold a grudge against me?"

"How could Xiufeng hold a grudge against the Lord? I don't know anything. In fact, when the emperor ordered Xiufeng to walk on the military Zhangjing in Xiyuan in the afternoon, Xiufeng once resigned again and again."

"Why resign?"

"If it is another job, if it is just a qualification and talent, Xiufeng thinks he is no worse than the chief doctors of the cabinet and the department heads of various departments. But this is not another job, this is a military machine. People are the most important thing to know themselves. Xiufeng knows that his talent is a little unfair and may not be able to take this great task, so he begs the emperor to take back his life."

After thinking about it carefully, Peng Yunzhang suddenly discovered that the young man around him had been inspecting and inspecting private lords; he had served as the provincial and rural tyrants, and had been the deputy of the Huaihe River Transportation, and had rebuilt the salt camp. It is said that he had trained even the Miaowan camp; he later served as the Tongzhi of the Sea Defense Department of Songjiang Prefecture and also served as the Supervisor of the Customs of the River Customs. Not only did he fight with Liu Lichuan and other rebellion parties, but he also dealt with Western barbarians. Later, he served as the Tongzhi of the South Bank of Yongding River, and the 1,500 soldiers who were trained on the Tongzhi of the South Bank of Yongding River were all very useful. He thought that the seniority of the cabinet ministers who had not left Beijing was really incomparable to the heads of various departments.

But thinking about the errands he has done now, especially the emperor's plans, Peng Yunzhang suddenly stopped and raised his arm to point to the southwest: "The Ministry of Works is here, the Tongzhengsi Yamen is there, and I haven't gone there for a long time. It seems that passing through the West Chang'an Gate is the Dengwen Drum Hall. If you remember correctly, the Dengwen Drum Hall and the Luanyiwei should be the closest yamen to the Imperial City."

Han Xiufeng was confused and didn't know why he said this.

Peng Yunzhang looked back at him and said half-jokingly: "When I was as old as you, I was still conducting a review in the Hanlin Academy, and you have already opened a government office and the yamen closest to the imperial city, which really makes me envious!"

Han Xiufeng suddenly realized that there was something in his words. Before he could think about it, Peng Yunzhang changed his subject: "Zhixing, you have been in office for two days. Have you ever met Shangguan and his colleagues?"

"Sir, Xiufeng has met you."

"Where is Senator Qingxian, have you ever seen it?"

"I met and I just didn't say a few words."

"I have some friendship with Qingxian's father, but there is something happening to Qingxian's father. I have been unable to greet you for many years. You are now a Senator of the Han Dynasty and are just colleagues with Qingxian. I don't have as much concern. If you are willing, please do me a favor and have time to visit Qingxian's house for me."

"It is Xiufeng's blessing to be able to serve the adults," Han Xiufeng thought about it and asked again: "Sir, do you have any words to tell Xiufeng?"

"Just just greetings, just greetings." Peng Yunzhang smiled slightly, then yawned Lian Tiandi and said, "It's too late. There's still a lot of things tomorrow. I should go back and rest."

"Xiufeng greets you."
