August 13th.
Xiao Jing, the eunuch in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, submitted the case of the Jin Yiwei investigating Duke Zhu Hui for dereliction of duty and neglect of duty, and presented it to Zhu Youtang.
After reading this, Zhu Youtang sighed and said, "It has been decided a long time ago that he will be sent to Yansui to guard the border and be an ordinary soldier. We will see if he can be transferred back in a few years. That's it. Let's do this."
Xiao Jing said, "Your Majesty, I think that if he has a chance to make a comeback, I'm afraid the people below won't dare to do anything to him, so why not"
"You You mean, if he is convicted more harshly, he will be unable to stand up, right?" Zhu Youtang frowned.
According to the habits of eunuchs in the past, it is unlikely that such suggestions would be made.
Xiao Jing lowered his head and said, "This slave is too talkative. I hope your majesty will forgive you."
"That's right. It can neither be tolerated nor give the impression of impunity. , if we were just guarding the border and gave him a chance to get up again, others would think that I was worried about something and did not punish him severely. Although Duke Baoguo was ordered to march this time, he did not follow my will to carry out the war. Push it to the end"
When Zhu Youtang said this, he waved his hand and said, "If you go ahead, you will join the army. You will be a military household and will never be forgiven."
"Yes"<. /p>
Xiao Jing also didn’t expect that his suggestion would work so well.
He was also wondering whether His Majesty was waiting for the people below to help him do this cruel thing
"Your Majesty, there is also a memorial from Uncle Xin, which is said to be powerful. There are many small tribes around Ninghai who have chosen to take refuge, and some are willing to station herders around the city of Maoerzhuang to build a new Boshangzou. Currently, there are no Tatar activities within a hundred miles of Weininghai. Signs."
After Xiao Jing finished talking about the things that made the emperor unhappy, he naturally wanted to mention some good news.
As expected, Zhu Youtang looked relieved and delighted, and smiled and said, "Really?"
Xiao Jing said, "Uncle Xinjian also reported that the soldiers and horses who left the fortress at Piantou Pass also captured Some achievements have been made, and the Huoshi tribe that moved westward has now moved back to a place close to Ningxia. Huoshi may come to Beijing again to pay tribute. In addition, there are also reports from Jizhou in the east. , it is said that after the Duoyan tribe, the Taining and Fuyu tribes are also preparing to defect to the Ming Dynasty. "
"It's a good thing"
Zhu. Youtang stood up and looked very emotional, "It's only been a few years. In the first few years, it was often mentioned in the court that the little prince Batu Munch of the grassland was a courageous and knowledgeable person, and many people surrendered. He said that he would achieve great things within a few years and asked me to guard against him. Now it’s all thanks to Bingkuan.”
Xiao Jing responded quickly.
In the past, Xiao Jing was very wary of Zhang Zhou, but now that his position is no longer guaranteed, a few nice words may pave the way for his comeback.
Zhu Youtang said, "Bingkuan hasn't come out from Gongyuan yet?"
"It's not that fast. It will probably take another seven or eight days. IfToday's examination has not started yet. "Xiao Jing said.
Zhu Youtang said regretfully, "If I had known earlier, I would have just asked Bingkuan to come up with questions outside. Why did he come to the Tribute Academy? Sometimes when I want to chat with him, he is not there. , it really worries me. ”
What else can Xiao Jing say
Say, Your Majesty, you can talk to the slaves
Why are these words so false
< p> "Bingkuan once said that life in the grassland has been very difficult in the past two years. Not to mention the closure of the border market, they have suffered repeated defeats on the battlefield, and there are constant natural and man-made disasters in the grassland. If they cannot survive this winter, they will not survive after autumn. They may look for weak points in the Ming Dynasty's border defenses and then attack. I have to guard against it. "Zhu Youtang said.Xiao Jing followed Zhu Youtang and looked very cautious and said, "Your Majesty, the battlefield is like this, do the Tatars still dare to come?"
Zhu Youtang shook his head and said, "Their goal is to survive. If they knew they were coming to fight the main force of the border army, they would not dare to do so. However, the Ming Dynasty's elite could never cover all the passes. Even if they had to mobilize troops, It will take time, and they will also be prepared to guard against the advance of our main force, so that there will be no more head-on confrontations. "
"The slave understands that if they want to fight, they will just come and rob them, and then run away immediately. "Xiao Jing said.
"Yes. "Zhu Youtang nodded, "That's probably what it means. Bingkuan couldn't tell where the Tatars would come from this time. The Tatars might divide their forces. The specific details would depend on the defense conditions at various passes after autumn. ”
“That’s coming soon. Now, it’s time for the autumn harvest, especially at the borders. "Xiao Jing said nervously.
Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "I'm worried about so many things, but Bingkuan can always plan everything well. Sometimes my worries are unfounded, and you don’t have to worry about them. "
"Yes. "
Even if Xiao Jing stood behind Zhu Youtang, Zhu Youtang couldn't see him, but he still bowed his head respectfully.
"Let's look at the prince's paper again and answer the questions. How to pack it up, wait for Bingkuan to come back, and grade the papers for him. I also know that the prince's articles must be nonsense, but since he is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, he should have a desire to learn. There will be many opportunities for such exams in the future. Make him pay attention every time. I'm afraid that if I can't accomplish something, the burden will fall on him in the end, and let him ruin this good situation." Zhu Youtang mentioned Zhu Houzhao, a bit hating him for not fighting.
Xiao Jing said, "Your Majesty, I think the prince seems to be very martial. "
Zhu Youtang said, "What's the use of pursuing martial arts blindly? We must not only govern the people, but also control the ministers well before we can talk about conquering by force." The grassland wolves cannot be swallowed up in one or two wars, and the grassland is so large that the Ming Dynasty cannot manage it for a long time. Even if the Tatars are wiped out now, new tribes will migrate over.
Even rise. What he wants to do is to make the people rich and the frontier army strong, not to gain or lose at one time or another. Unfortunately, he is still young and does not understand this. ”
Xiao Jing said, “Someone will teach him.” ”
"Yes, if Bingkuan is here, I will teach him these things, but I also hope to teach him personally. When will he grow into a qualified prince, so that I can trust him and leave the country to him?"
"Your Majesty, you will live forever."
"Farewell, I will be satisfied if I can live forty or fifty years old, and I don't expect to live longer. Bingkuan has said , the so-called fairy grass can at most prolong life, but it cannot achieve immortality at all. Even though I am the emperor, I am still a human being. Being able to see the prosperity of the country and the people when I open my eyes is my greatest ambition. It’s my wish.”
Zhang Zhou was still in Gongyuan completing his duties as the examiner of the provincial examination.
The capital was quiet during his absence. Only the Jin Yiwei seemed very busy and was involved in many cases.
When the imperial power is strong, the role of Dongchang and Jinyiwei will be highlighted. They exist to ensure the authority of the imperial power.
"Eunuch Li, His Majesty has already decided on the case of Duke Baoguo. He is said to be sent to Yansui as a military household and will not be pardoned for the rest of his life. However, I don't think Duke Baoguo will live for many years." "
"Also, I heard that Ping Jiangbo died on the way back to Beijing."
Mo Bin reported the details to Li Zhang.
Li Zhang was also surprised when he heard this and said, "Why is Chen Liangjiu dead?"
"Yes." Mou Bin said, "The news confirmed by many parties should not have escaped. When he arrived at Xuanfu It was already over. He had already passed away before Juyongguan. The incident was reported, but His Majesty had not yet replied. "
Li Zhang said, "It was his own fault. He obviously had a chance before he closed his eyes. He wiped away all his bad deeds in the past and made a name for himself, only to end up risking his life in the last game. This kind of person only cares about food but not about fighting. Didn’t Cai Guogong give him a chance before?"< /p>
Mo Bin asked, "I don't know how to determine Uncle Ping Jiang's crime."
"Let's wait for Your Majesty to decide." Li Zhang said, "This group of old people will die. If the crime is committed, the remaining old guys may not have a good life for a few days. Whoever can enter the Yanwu Hall now and who is close to Cai Guogong will be the pillar of the Ming Dynasty in the future."
Mu Bin said. "Will it be a day?"
"You want to say, if you wait until the future, you can't say it will return to the same old way. Mou Bin, you are very courageous. While working for Cai Guogong, I still hope that Cai Guogong will fall."
Li Zhang's face was not very good.
Mu Bin is naturally a smart man. He said, "In my humble position, I am only loyal to His Majesty and obey His Majesty's orders to run errands."
The implication is, why does Cai Guogong work for Cai Guogong? Doesn't Cai Guogong work for the emperor?
In front of you, if I blow Cai Guogong into the sky, then I am seeking death.
I should be "ignorant" and gossip a few words behind Zhang Zhou's back. This will make Li Zhang feel that I am not just following Zhang Zhou to earn a living, which will make my life easier.
"Work hard, His Majesty has high hopes for you now, but for us, AdmiralDongchang is just a temporary thing. I heard that Eunuch Yang Peng will return to Beijing in a while. Maybe he will come back to take over our family." Li Zhang's words seemed to be deliberately testing Mou Bin.
Mou Bin said, "Eunuch Li You are highly respected, how can Eunuch Yang compare with you?"
"Don't say it in front of Yang Peng. What you said is exactly the opposite. Our family has insufficient connections, so there are few people who listen to our family. We have arranged it before. Please coordinate with those who come here. Dongchang also needs someone to take care of things. "
Li Zhang also knew that his power and prestige were insufficient.
So after he became the owner of Dongchang Factory, he actively cultivated "his own people", and these people had average abilities. But they are ruthless in their work, and they all seem to be eager to express themselves.
And Li Zhang arranged them all on the main errands of the Jinyiwei Prison, especially on the case against Yongping Mansion. , this group of people acted more viciously.
Li Zhang seemed to want to use the Yongping Mansion case to establish his authority as the Duke of Dongchang.
Shouning Hou.
Guo Ang, the governor of Fusi Town in Jinyiwei North Town, was ordered to come to the mansion to ask for someone, and the person who ordered Guo Ang to do this was none other than Li Zhang
"The one surnamed Li is full of food, right? I picked up two women from you, and he still has the nerve to go back. Aren't all the sinful women who were assigned to a lowly status just bought by me?" ”
After Zhang Heling learned about Guo Ang’s intention, he was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke.
As the queen’s younger brother, the most powerful relative of the Ming Dynasty, now he was actually raped by Dongchang and Jin Yiwei's life is full of troubles
Guo Ang said, "Master Hou, this is not how the formal process works, and your move has not been approved by His Majesty, so it is considered an overstep. Eunuch Li has explained that when the case is over, you can just let me know what you want, but the case is not over yet, so you can't do that. ”
“The person surnamed Li doesn’t know that the sky is high, right? He thinks that Dongchang is owned by his family. Even Li Rong, he doesn’t dare to do anything to me. He wants people, let him do it himself”
p>
Zhang Heling was furious, and immediately said to the servant beside him, "Send off the guest"
Guo Ang hurriedly said, "Master Marquis, if you don't make friends, then in the court tomorrow, maybe your Majesty will I have to tell you personally. "
"Ah"
Zhang Heling did not expect that Li Zhang and Guo Ang would dare to use the emperor to pressure him.
"If you have the ability, let him sue ,
Let’s see whose side Your Majesty is on”
At this moment, there was a man who looked like a butler next to Zhang Heling, who came over and whispered something to Zhang Heling.
Zhang Heling was already furious, but after hearing this, his expression improved a lot, and he asked, "Eunuch Li, you said that when the case is over, I can do whatever I want, right?"
Guo Ang didn't expect Zhang Heling's mood to change so much, but he still said quickly, "That's it. According to the current development of the case, several families will not be able to escape the charges. In the end, there will definitely be Exi’s convict wife.When Shi Luo goes to the Jiaofang Division, don’t you mention whoever you want to mention?”
Zhang Heling said, “If that’s really the case, you can pick him up, and I have no objection. But that is to say"
"Don't worry, Mr. Hou, as long as you hand over the person, no one will mention it, and it will be treated as if it never happened. Everyone will be tight-lipped. ”
Guo Ang actively tried to establish a good relationship with Zhang Heling.
He was also afraid that Zhang Heling would cheat again and he would not be able to complete his errands. There was no guarantee that he would not be angered by Li Zhang when he returned. It happened to be that Jin Yiwei was now At the time when the old and the new are changing, maybe he will be used as cannon fodder.
“Leave people to him to remember, take them away, and then send them back as they are. "
"Yes. "
The Zhang family's housekeeper seemed to be very sensible, and immediately took Guo Ang to fetch people.
"This Shouning Hou really thinks he is. I don't know who the Queen is now. Don't worry about it."
In front of Li Zhang were Mou Bin and Guo Ang who came to report the matter.
And Li Zhang looked very bad.
Since he wanted to be Zhang Zhou's grandson, he didn't want to be a grandson to other officials, which put a lot of pressure on him.
"Father-in-law, I brought him back, but that's it"
< p>"Just come back. She is an inconspicuous woman. When she was taken away, she never thought about what would happen."Mu Bin on the side still didn't quite understand.
In the past, Guo Ang Although Zhang Heling took the person away, Li Zhang knew about it and even condoned it. Why is it that Li Zhang is still sending people to get the person back?
Li Zhang has grasped the direction of the wind. He felt that he wanted to make a clean break with Zhang Heling.
"Eunuch Li, the case is already inseparable, why do you want to offend Hou Ning?" Mou Bin asked in confusion.
Li Zhang said. Shouning Hou is a relative of the emperor, but he is only a relative of the emperor. His Majesty asked that this case be decided impartially and let Cai Guogong take charge of everything, but he did not say that Shouning Hou could intervene. "
"This"
"Jinyiwei does not need to give face to the emperor's relatives now. Whether it is Shouning Marquis, Jianchang Bo, or Changning Bo, they must all be treated equally. If Cai Guogong comes to ask for someone, can you give it to him? Who knows which one in the prison will be a relative of Cai Guogong?"
Mou Bin said, "I understand the humble position. Before the case is settled, no one will interfere." Everything about this case. "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
