As for Zheng Xianlin and his party, everyone relaxed after leaving Yongan Gate.
During the silence, He Gujin, who had the most violent temper, said, "Everyone, we are just grasshoppers on a rope now. We are working together to help the prince suppress the Japanese. Don't let anyone get in the way again."
Who dares to make trouble in this matter? Is it even possible to risk your life
He Gujin’s words immediately made everyone unhappy, but he did not take offense considering his identity. .
It cannot be said that He Gujin is stupid, but that he is playing the role of a whitewash. This statement is very consistent with his character.
When the atmosphere was delicate, Zheng Xianlin smiled and said, "Old He, please don't talk nonsense. None of your colleagues are looking forward to driving the Japanese pirates out of Jinling as soon as possible."
"You and me. Those who bear the emperor's orders to govern a country have the responsibility to protect the land and tranquilize the people. Even if there is no strict decree from the emperor, they will work together to kill the Japanese pirates."
After saying this, Zheng Xianlin glanced around and said, "Everyone, I am right."
"Master Zheng is right. We have all received the grace of the Holy Emperor Zhiyu Jianba. How dare we not think of repaying our service to your father?"
"That's it. Today, Japanese pirates are causing trouble and causing disturbances." The local people are in trouble, and we are already guilty of it. The Holy Spirit is magnanimous and has not punished the guilty. How can we not work together to heal the local people?"
Everyone expressed their stance one after another, and they all spoke very clearly. It sounds good, but in practice it is not the case.
Jinling is a very large province, with many factions of officials and different interests involved. It is really difficult to work together as one.
Even if there is imperial authority on top, as long as a few people have selfish motives and make the slightest mistake, the results will be very different.
This especially tests the coordination ability of the person in charge, and contains the emperor's expectations for Zhu Jingyuan.
"My lords, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has summoned you to come to Chengming Hall to discuss matters."
The person coming is Zhang Xin, a person close to Zhu Jingyuan.
I originally planned to visit Zhu Jinghong, but under Gao Shuyan's stern persuasion, Zhu Jingyuan could only summon him immediately for discussion.
After a while, all the officials gathered in Chengming Hall. Zhu Jingyuan didn't say much, and the rest of the time was occupied by Gao Shuyan.
He was reasoning, mentioning goals, and talking about consequences. In the end, Gao Shuyan's throat was filled with smoke.
However, everyone was drowsy. What Gao Shuyan said was nonsense, and everyone did not understand it deeply.
Of course, everyone present echoed in time, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
After a delay of more than half an hour, the discussion was finally over, and the officials dispersed and left.
Everyone returned to the Yamen, summoned their subordinates to discuss the detailed plan, and arranged the tasks for the past few days before relaxing.
The Chief Secretary is mainly responsible for the allocation of grain and grass. The food that saves money must be transported to the destination on time and on demand. How to distribute it is definitely a complicated project.
In addition to distribution, it is also troublesome to mobilize manpower. Of course, this can be done by calling the local government.
According to the tasks of the ChasiTo be simple, they must maintain public security along the way and protect the military supplies from being robbed and stolen.
So they had to make a detailed escort plan according to the arrangements of the Chief Secretary and leave it to the local government for implementation.
Of course, they have to communicate with the Jinling Dusi and ask the latter to dispatch troops to escort them if necessary.
Japanese pirates are wreaking havoc in Jinling. Their accomplices are found in many places, and there are also rebels from the White Lotus Sect who are secretly causing trouble. He Gujin's task is simple but arduous.
The ones who are really relaxed are the censors who patrol the yamen. They only need to strictly supervise and rectify corruption and favoritism.
As for the chief envoy Zheng Xianlin, while he was still reviewing the plans submitted by his subordinates, a personal entourage came to report that He Gujin was waiting at his house.
"What is he doing here again?"
Despite asking this question, Zheng Xianlin did not delay. He finished handling the urgent matters at hand as quickly as possible and hurried back home from the Yamen.
When I came to the living room, I saw He Gujin sitting high, holding a book and reading.
Hearing the footsteps outside, He Gujin put down his book and said, "Old Zheng, you are such a friend, just let me wait for half an hour."
Zheng Xianlin sat He walked to He Gujin's side and took off his official hat from his head. "The government affairs are busy, I can't just ignore them."
"Tell me, why did you come to see me?"
He Gujin was not busy talking. After the maid who mixed the tea left, he said, "Old Zheng, the Thirteenth Master was punished today, which is shocking."
"It's true." After taking a sip of tea, Zheng Xianlin said The clouds are calm and the wind is gentle.
"Do you think Mr. Thirteen is reliable?"
"What do you mean by that?"
He Gujin sighed and said, "That boy Jiayan before , together with the juniors, we hosted a banquet for the Thirteenth Master. At the banquet, the Thirteenth Master promised to keep us safe afterwards."
"But today, the Thirteenth Master has been severely punished. It seems that he is in front of the Holy Lord. Not much face.”
After all, it’s a matter of wealth and life, so it’s normal for He Gu Jin to have doubts.
Even his own son was beaten at will, and even beaten half to death. If the emperor investigates him in the future, it will be even worse for officials like them.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Xianlin had already calmed down and said, "I think it is good news that the Thirteenth Master has been punished."
"The fact that the board was raised high and lightly shows that the Holy One still recognizes that. "One"
"That one"
Zheng Xianlin replied, "The imperial edict has clearly stated that as long as the suppression of the Japanese is successful, nothing will be pursued."
"With this Why didn't I hear that?"
Putting down the tea cup, Zheng Xianlin said impatiently, "I said, Lao He, don't pretend to be stupid. The Holy One has already beaten the Thirteenth Master. This matter is settled. ”
As for the exemption of shortfalls, the imperial edict mentioned it very implicitly, which actually showed the emperor’s attitude.
We are all smart people. Zheng Xianlin doesn’t believe that the old fox He Gujin can’t figure it out.
Of course He GujinIt was obvious, but he always felt uneasy without discussing such important matters with Zheng Xianlin.
Actually, today, he is not mainly here to ask about this.
"We have passed the Holy Emperor's test, but what about the Sixth Master?"
The so-called Sixth Master is Rui Wang Zhu Jingyuan. The two of them had been arrogant before, but how can this person be replaced? I'm offended.
This is indeed a problem, Zheng Xianlin also frowned.
"Is Master Thirteen reliable?" He Gujin asked this question again, but the meaning was completely different.
"What do you think?"
"I can't tell" He Gujin shook his head.
As for the prince Zhu Jingyuan, they have no hope at all.
After a moment of silence, Zheng Xianlin said, "The Thirteenth Master has a straightforward temperament, and such a person is loyal."
Zhu Jinghong's words before being sentenced gave Zheng Xianlin the confidence to make this judgment.
"We will do what he wants. He also said he would protect us. We can't just ignore it when things happen."
He Gujin nodded, but He Gujin didn't answer. , he still felt uneasy.
"Jiayan has made friends with the Thirteenth Master. Now that the Thirteenth Master is injured, he can be allowed to visit the palace again and ask questions by the way."
Hear this , He Gujin couldn't hold it in any longer, "Old Zheng, why doesn't your third child go? This is not just my business."
The most important thing is that these few times I have dealt with Zhu Jinghong, each time I have been dealing with him more and more. Spending money made He Gujin feel heartache.
Let’s just say that when we rented out the venue in Houhu, it cost several thousand taels of silver. This was still the price of friendship that he paid as an envoy.
"My youngest is dedicated to studying, but he's not good at it either."
"Okay, okay, as long as you don't make a living, you can earn some money." He waved his hand, He Gu Jin didn't want to hear that nonsense.
"We are still talking about money"
He Gujin said angrily, "Nonsense, my money didn't fall from the sky." Please remember to bookmark it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft is free To find and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
