Chapter 178: Conspiracy
Feng Yangwei commanded the Gaochi Mansion to be brightly lit, and all the leaders of the Eight Guards were gathered together, and a few people at a table were eating and chatting.
Feng Yangwei commanded Gao Chi and said, "Have you heard? The crown prince ordered Zhu Dadian to take stock of the land. ”
At the table, the faces of the commanders of the Fengyang Eight Guards were not very good-looking, and they all felt that the crown prince was too ignorant and would do things as soon as he came!
Huai Yuanwei's commander muttered: "I heard, the prince won't really want to take away the land in our hands, right?" ”
The commander of Fengyang's left guard also said: "We don't believe it, who would dare to do this in Huangming except for Liukou?" He is the crown prince and represents our interests, if he offends us, can he still stay in Fengyang Mansion? ”
After hearing this, everyone nodded secretly, and said, "Not bad!" We can't even stay in Fengyang Mansion, let alone other places in the south of the Yangtze River, and those noble gentry in Nanjing are even more noisy than us. ”
The commander of Chang Huaiwei shook his head and said: "I can't say, the crown prince has killed so many officials in Suzhou, and the entire officialdom in Suzhou has almost been swept away from beginning to end, and even a thousand households under me have been reimbursed, and more than 100,000 mu will be gone, everyone should not be despised ah!" ”
Feng Yangwei commanded Gao Chi to nod, his brother-in-law Suzhou Zhizhou was stripped of the skin, and the mother-in-law in the family cried every day because of this matter.
The commander of the Imperial Tomb Guard frowned and said, "Believe it or not, now that the crown prince's order has been issued, and the inventory officials in various places are about to start, how should we deal with it?" That's the main thing. ”
Gao Chi said with a gloomy face: "The crown prince is still young, he has no experience in governance, and his subordinates are basically a group of generals, and they are very good at fighting, but when it comes to governing places and dealing with the gentry, they can't eat." ”
Everyone nodded slowly: "What does the eldest brother mean?" ”
Gao Chi smiled and said, "The land of this guard, can they check it if they want to?" Most of the officials at all levels in the five states and thirteen counties are their own people, and they can just send some benefits to let them go through the motions. ”
"Big brother's plan is very good!" The commanders praised.
Gao Chi continued: "Through this temptation, if the crown prince is at a loss and stops, then forget it, if he still wants to forcibly investigate, then I can only come to a fish to die and the net will be broken!" ”
The rest of the commanders were taken aback when they heard this: "Big brother, we are going to ......."
Gao Chi snorted coldly: "There are some relatives and relatives among all of you here, one is prosperous, one is lost, today I might as well say it directly, let's send someone to contact Huoshan first, first open the conditions, and then talk to them slowly, if the crown prince really does it, I can only take this road!" ”
Everyone drank a glass of wine and was silent for a while, this is the worst plan, someone wants their life, then they can only fight hard.
"Good! It's up to Big Brother's plan! ”
"That's it!"
"Here, brothers, cheers! Honor and disgrace coexist! ”
"Cheers!"
“........”
A few days after the order was issued, officials from various prefectures and counties began to conduct an inventory of the land of the local health center, saying that it was an inventory rather than drinking together.
Under the arrangement of the guards and generals, the civil officials who came to check were very nourished, and they continued to drink wine and women every day, and they had never even been to the fields, and they directly planned to take the previous register.
Many officials who knew about the occupation of military land by the officers and men of the guard post turned a blind eye, and even if Zhu Dadian, the governor of Caoyun, wanted to deal with them, they had to weigh one or two things, so as not to cause trouble and mutiny.
Once there is a mutiny in the guard, and the sergeants gather to make trouble, it is these civil officials who are unlucky, and the dismissal is a normal operation, who wants to offend these Qiu Ba for no reason, and these generals still have so much filial piety every year, so fools do that kind of loss-making business.
Although the military generals of the Ming Dynasty have a low status, most of them live very nourishingly, especially the military generals of the local health center, many of them rely on the hereditary official positions of their ancestors, as long as they do not take the initiative to cause trouble, they are basically born to enjoy glory and wealth, and the hereditary generations have made them form a strong force in the local area.
Although the civil officials are noble, they are difficult to promote, and they are more likely to have accidents, and the generals of the guard station are just nodding their heads when they encounter the local civil officials, sending some and something, and the two sides do not affect each other, I won't cause trouble for you, and you don't want to trouble me.
Only Liu Shijing, the magistrate of Xiao County, didn't know what to do, so he refused the banquet of the guard and directly wanted to check the fish scale book, which made the local commander very faceless, and directly ordered him to be beaten out, almost abolishing his leg.
Only one day after this situation, Zhu Cihong received a report from the secret agent of Jinyiwei, and after he snorted coldly, he ordered Zhu Dadian to transfer officials from Caoyun Yamen to conduct an inventory of the Eight Guards, and at the same time sent Yang Tinglin to lead the Guozi Prison Prisoners who had previously surrendered to the army to assist in the investigation.
Under the governor of Caoyun, there are more than 270 civil and military generals and various officials such as Li Cao, who participated in politics, patrolled the imperial history, Langzhong, supervised and punished, and was in charge, as well as more than 20,000 people from the Weicao soldiers and the naval battalion.
Although Zhu Dadian didn't want to offend Bawei, he was helpless at this time, so he had to go to investigate, who made himself the governor of Fengyang.
The crown prince once again sent officials to investigate, which made the generals of the Eight Guards very angry, and several commanders gathered again to discuss the matter.
In Linhuai County, Fengyang Prefecture, in a luxurious and exquisite mansion, there is a row of good-looking maids standing outside the hall in the hall, pouring tea and beating their backs for a few people.
The commanders of the eight guards gathered together and were talking about something in a low voice, when a thousand households said in a loud voice: "The prince has arrived!" ”
An old eunuch wearing a three-mountain hat and a jade python robe walked in slowly under the support of several flower-like maids, his hair was half white, and even his eyebrows were white, but his eyebrows revealed a majestic atmosphere, and he looked like a person who had been in a position for a long time.
This old eunuch is Wang Yumin, the garrison eunuch of Fengyang, as a garrison eunuch, representing the dignity of the royal family, with great power, whether it is local politics or the army, he can intervene in almost anything.
As soon as Wang Yumin came, the commander of the eight guards hurriedly stood up respectfully, and the commander of Fengyangwei made Gao Chi even greet him, and said carefully: "Father-in-law, slow down." ”
Behind Wang Yumin, Zhuang Hongchang, the prefect of Fengyang Mansion, who was wearing a red official robe, bowed his head and followed him like a dog.
Since Fengyang was captured by thieves two years ago, the former garrison eunuch was like a treasure, and was fought over by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and the two turned their faces because of the competition for the eunuch.
Although Wang Yumin didn't know why Li Zhang's two thieves were competing for eunuchs, he knew that it was because of the two thieves that he had the opportunity to walk out of the Shangshan Prison in the Forbidden City, come here, and reach the peak of his life.
Since arriving in Fengyang, Wang Yumin has known that it is so cool to be a eunuch! Not only enjoy the treatment of a vassal king, but also a few civil and military officials of the third and fourth grades are vying to be their own sons!
Wang Yumin often sighs and sighs when no one is around: We finally didn't cut the balls in vain, this is fucking called life!
Seeing that Yizi greeted him, and several people in the hall were also very respectful, Wang Yumin put on a good shelf and hummed lightly, and said lightly: "Sit down!" ”
