86 Unwilling
The matter of knighthood ultimately depends on Emperor Chongzhen himself.
Generally speaking, it is the emperor who picks the door and is reluctant to be knighted, but the civil and military generals wish that the threshold for knighthood could be lower.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen strongly stated that he wanted to be knighted, and what else could he say, he couldn't admit it if he didn't want to, because this didn't need to go through the cabinet or anything. Even the nobles were taken from the emperor's inner treasury.
And for Zhang Mingwei himself, being named the Duke of Xingguo at once, seriously, is indeed a bit of a surprise.
But if you want to say how surprising it is, that's not enough. After all, as a later generation, the concept of knighthood is not so clear. More importantly, his ambition at this time is more to prosper the Ming Dynasty, save all the people from fire and water, and open peace for all generations! If the national government is not the national public, of course it is good to have it, and it is not a big deal if it is not.
Subsequently, Emperor Chongzhen issued another decree, Liao Guoxuan and others, corrupt the law, even drank the blood of refugees, and had no humanity to the point that the crime was unforgivable.
This time, the main thing is these two things. Although on the surface, it is a reward and a punishment, but for many civilian and military generals, these two things are actually very bad and disturbing things!
After the meeting was dispersed, the news spread. The people of Beijing, who were already more concerned about the court situation, suddenly became a sensation again.
"The emperor is wise, Zhang Qingtian has been named the Duke of Xingguo, this is really good!"
"I really hope that the emperor can always trust Zhang Qingtian and give him enough support, so that he can deter the court and our life will be better!"
"Haha, Zhang Qingtian is not an ordinary official, but the commander of the Jinyi Guard, no matter how big or small the Ming officials are, they can all be managed!"
“……”
Compared with the joy of ordinary people, officials at all levels are unhappy.
"You say, well, why do you stress that it is so difficult to resettle refugees? As a result, the emperor used this reason to reward him, how can I feel like I am lifting a stone to shoot myself in the foot! ”
"It's not all the good things that Zhou Yanru took the lead in doing! What the hell was going on in his head, didn't he know that the previous two holy decrees had just passed through the cabinet? ”
"Okay now, Xingguo Gong, give the python clothes, and let the Jinyi guard command, ah, the Jingshi wants the chicken and the dog to be restless!"
"No, I heard that he told those Diao people that if they go back early, he will be able to free up his hands to punish corrupt officials as soon as possible!"
“……”
Many people have the talent of hindsight, they don't know beforehand, but they think that's it in hindsight!
Not only Zhou Yanru, but most of the people, in advance, how many people could connect those two holy decrees, or a total of three holy decrees, with the refugees outside the capital city?
In short, it's useless for them to regret it now. However, if you really want to let this matter go unchecked, you just admit it, and many people are unwilling.
As a result, many people began to use their brains to see how to drag Zhang Mingwei's hind legs.
Some people immediately wrote a chapter and began to impeach a certain Jinyi guard captain for committing lawlessness, or oppressing the good, or failing to fulfill his duties, in short, where they can be impeached, all are impeached on the basis of facts. In this way, even if the emperor wants to protect Zhang Mingwei, it is impossible.
There are many such impeachments, and they are not all made up, and Emperor Chongzhen will definitely have a bad impression of Jinyiwei after hearing too much. Under the unity of the city, I don't believe that we can't take advantage of Zhang Mingwei to suppress him when he just took over Jinyiwei, and let him know that Jinyiwei can't do whatever he wants!
Not only that, but in a private room in a restaurant, the door is heavily guarded, but inside the door is two people meeting.
"Princess, you can't ignore this matter!" I saw one with a beard, and said in a very sincere tone to the other without a beard, "Once the factory guard is not suppressed, the disaster of the Apocalypse Dynasty is in front of you!" ”
When the prince heard this, he smiled bitterly, and he didn't touch the delicacies on the table, shook his head and said, "The key to the factory guard is the emperor." What's the use of this soldier coming to our house? ”
This soldier is another name for the book of the military department, and this bearded one is Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ming military department. Hearing this, he immediately said solemnly: "Isn't my father-in-law in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and isn't the Yongwei Battalion under my father-in-law?" Now that the matter of refugee resettlement has been settled, didn't Zhou Yuji bring someone to help that Zhang Mingwei, you have every reason to transfer back those people in the Yongwei camp! ”
This beardless one is the heart of the eunuch king who is the palm seal of the imperial horse eunuch. At this time, he understood Chen Xinjia's intentions, shook his head and said: "Those people were transferred with the consent of the emperor, otherwise, do you think that Zhou Yuji, a military general, can be transferred privately?" ”
When Chen Xinjia heard this, he was still not discouraged, and said to Wang Zhixin: "If the factory guards really get up, no matter inside or outside the palace, everyone will be unhappy." Isn't Wang Chengen tossing in the palace now, isn't the prince afraid? ”
Not to mention, Wang Chengen has arrested Wang Dehua in the palace in the past few days, and he probably already knows the reason, because of corruption and cash. When he heard the news, he was worried.
Compared with Wang Dehua's corrupt cashiers, he did not eat less empty salaries, and was greedy for the salaries and equipment of the army under the Ma Jian administration. Once investigated, it's not easy to cover up, so he's been worried!
At this time, as soon as he heard Chen Xinjia say, Wang Zhixin couldn't help but sigh and said, "What's the use of being afraid?" Now he is the eunuch of the celebrant and the commander of the East Factory, and it is the time when he is most favored by the emperor, who can stop him? ”
Among the twelve eunuchs in the palace, the eunuch who holds the seal is the boss, but the power of the eunuch is also not small, and he has the capital to fight against the eunuch who holds the seal of the eunuch, but in the end, it is still the eunuch who wants to press the head.
Chen Xinjia heard this, and hurriedly said to him: "Look at his posture in the cabinet that day, seriously, which of us will be comfortable?" Don't hide it from my father-in-law, the cabinet ministers, and the rest of us all have a lot of opinions about Wang Chengen's ascension. In today's situation, only if we all work together to deal with it, can we deal with the arrogance of the factory guard! ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, put it on the table in front of Wang Zhixin, and then said in a very sincere tone: "This time, I really need my father-in-law to help, and the people who are transferred back to the Yongwei camp are justified, so that Zhang Mingwei has no one to use; We will also help my father-in-law to drag Wang Chengen in political affairs, so that he has no energy to toss the palace. In this way, everyone can be better! Otherwise, once they completely control the factory guards and cultivate cronies, it will be even more difficult to curb them at that time! ”
If the factory guards can be contained, of course Wang Zhixin is willing. Hearing his words at this time, his heart suddenly moved, and he said to Chen Xinjia seriously: "This matter, our family can try it." However, there is one condition, that is, when your outer court impeaches Jinyiwei, don't forget Dongchang. ”
Jinyiwei's broken things are also indispensable in the East Factory. As long as you have the heart, you can definitely find a reason for impeachment.
"No problem, you will definitely see the impeachment note when you look back!" When Chen Xinjia heard this, he agreed without hesitation. Anyway, the impeachment of Jinyiwei is done, and he is not afraid of impeaching Dongchang again.
The suppression of factory guards is the common voice of everyone. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to curb it, it will be even more difficult to curb it in the future.
Wang Zhixin listened, accepted the silver ticket without a trace, and then said to Chen Xinjia: "Okay, those people who are transferred out of the Yongwei Battalion will be handed over to our family!" ”
