Chapter 249: Zhang Mao begged for help
In the afternoon of the same day, He Liang returned to Beijing with the people seconded from the clouds.
There were scribes seconded from the Two Wolf Mountains, some officials led by Li Jia, and some homeless people who were responsible for the construction of the yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
These people are estimated to be in the hundreds.
With the arrival of these horses, there is also a lot of popularity on the Jundu Mountain, and the most important thing is that some of the things that the Metropolitan Procuratorate can do can be regarded as completely doable.
Just when Xie Zhi was busy setting up the Metropolitan Procuratorate in Beijing, Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Mao, who were far away in Taizhou, had already turned down the guards in several places in Zhejiang.
The problems of those guards have also been thoroughly exposed.
All the guards involved will never tolerate it, and if they finally have this opportunity to solve this problem, they will naturally not let it go.
The problem of false military registration is particularly serious for private use by military cantonments, and there is even a serious shortage of troops in some guard posts.
If the troops are not enough, how can they withstand the enemy's thousands of troops if they need to fight.
Zhang Mao found out the problem and reported the situation to Emperor Hongzhi first, and he returned to Beijing with Zhu Houzhao.
After Zhang Mao's excerpt was published, Xie Zhi was announced by Emperor Hongzhi.
"The situation of several local health centers in Zhejiang has been thoroughly investigated, this is Zhang Mao's excerpt, take a look!"
Xie Zhi is not polite, just take a look.
The above content is very simple, how many tuntians are in each guard, how many are privately occupied, so the problems are clearly recorded.
Although Xie Zhi knew that there were many problems in the middle and late stages of the Ming Dynasty's guards, he didn't know that it would be so serious.
"Your Majesty, if the Zhejiang Guards find out the problem, the people involved will have to be punished in accordance with the law, and they should be stricter, so that they can set an example, Liu Yiqing, Cheng Shi and others have colluded with the Japanese to seek personal gains, and this can not be indulged, as for the dismissal and punishment of the Taizhou commander, leniency should be accompanied, if the disposal is too strict, if it causes other guards to jump off the wall in a hurry, it will not be good."
Xie Zhi's handling advice can be described as extremely sophisticated.
After thanking him for this opinion, Emperor Hongzhi smiled and took out another copy and said, "This is the prince's." ”
Since Zhang Mao made clear the situation of the Zhejiang Health Center, Zhu Houzhao did not specifically talk about this matter again.
In the excerpt, Zhu Houzhao only stated his own opinion.
First, he scolded the situation of several health centers, talked a lot at length, and finally attached his own opinions.
Coincidentally, Zhu Houzhao's opinion is the same as Xie Zhi's.
In the excerpt, Zhu Houzhao said that there are drawbacks in all the health centers in the world, and if the handling is too strict, it will provoke other health centers to mutiny.
Emperor Hongzhi showed Xie Zhi this excerpt, which was gratifying, but most of them were probably a little show-off.
It's really not easy for a bear child like Zhu Houzhao to grow up.
Xie Zhi saw that he put down the fold, and Emperor Hongzhi said: "You and the prince have different opinions, and the prince hasn't corresponded with you in the past few days, right?" ”
Emperor Hongzhi asked like this, whether Xie Zhi could understand that he suspected that Zhu Houzhao's constitution was influenced by Xie Zhi.
It's one thing to be favored by the monarch, but it's another thing if one's own opinion interferes with the monarch's decision.
Xie Zhi hurriedly waved his hand and replied, "No." ”
Xie Zhi is also telling the truth, since he returned to Beijing ahead of schedule, Zhu Houzhao did not communicate with him.
Emperor Hongzhi didn't say anything more, and said, "I will convene the ministers of various ministries to discuss this matter again, so you can go and get busy."
The suggestion in the tacit understanding between Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao can be said to be soft and rigid, and it can be regarded as the most suitable solution at present.
Emperor Hongzhi said that he wanted to discuss, Xie Zhizi couldn't say much, what he needed to do now was the matter of the Shenji Battalion, and as for the other guards, they were not in his consideration for the time being.
About two or three days later, Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Mao returned to Beijing.
After the two returned to Beijing, they wanted to return to Emperor Hongzhi.
By the time the two of them were reinstated, the order for the execution of the culprits had already been issued.
Capital punishment is certain, and if such a crime remains, it is no longer lenient, but conniving, so that it is very possible for future generations to follow suit.
After Zhang Mao and Zhu Houzhao met with Emperor Hongzhi, they found Xie Zhi together.
At this moment, the framework of the five military procuratorates in Jundu Mountain has been fully built.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.
Although this yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is a little simpler, it can also be regarded as a functional department of the central government, and although many chief officials have not yet been equipped, they have been able to operate completely.
When Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Mao came over, Xie Zhi was checking some of the firearms accounts of the Shenji Battalion.
At this time, people did not have a complete set of accounting, and it was easy to find out even if there were some falsifications in the accounts.
"Xie Wu, are you busy?" Zhu Houzhao was the first to shout.
The only one who called him Xie Wu was Zhu Houzhao, Xie Zhi turned around and smiled slightly: "Your Highness is back?" ”
Seeing Zhang Mao beside Zhu Houzhao, he shouted: "Zhang Shibo, are you here?" ”
Zhang Mao approached, turned around, and replied indignantly: "It's time to set up a supervision yamen to investigate, if you let it develop again, that group of moths will soon hollow out the foundation of Daming." ”
Xie Zhi didn't say much, this is an indisputable fact, and the answer is not easy.
Zhu Houzhao then said: "I heard in this palace that you were assassinated a few days ago?" ”
This is also a fact, Xie Zhi has no need to deny it, he admitted it straightforwardly, and replied: "But there is such a thing, fortunately, Brother Zhou Xian arrived very quickly, otherwise he would really have to explain his little life." ”
As he spoke, Xie Zhi raised the sword in his hand and said, "It seems that it is necessary for a certain person to carry this thing with him, and there are more enemies of a certain person." ”
The life of the imperial history is originally a hateful thing, that is, the group of guys in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who have been beaten with sacks for a long time, not to mention the imperial history that he doesn't like by the civil and military generals.
Zhu Houzhao hurriedly roared: "Who made this assassination, but caught someone?" ”
This question is not easy to answer, people are grasping big, but people refuse to admit it.
Xie Zhi replied directly: "I arrested one person, and also confessed the person behind the scenes, and said that it was the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who escaped with firearms, which just gave an excuse for a thorough investigation of the Shenji Battalion. ”
Now that he has come here, even if he is still very simple here, he still has the ability to entertain Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Mao for a drink.
Xie Zhi beckoned He Liang to prepare wine and dinner.
He Liang was definitely a right-hand man, and soon the wine and rice were ready to be served.
"Zhang Shibo, Your Highness, don't be polite when you come here, come, drink!"
After the three of them had a drink, Zhang Mao put down the wine glass and said, "Thank you, the old man wants to arrange someone with you." ”
Zhang Mao directly asked for help, but Xie Zhi couldn't agree immediately.
The only thing he can arrange for people now is the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the importance of this Metropolitan Procuratorate is needless to say, and it is not something that anyone can arrange.
Xie Zhi smiled and asked, "I don't know who Zhang Shibo wants to arrange?" ”
Zhang Mao sighed and said: "The old man was born as a concubine, and it stands to reason that he is not qualified to attack the lord, but it was only because the eldest brother had a leg disease that he could not attack the lord, so it fell on the head of the old man, and the old man has always been deeply sorry." ”
Zhang Mao, as the eldest son, has nothing to do with him, but he is a prince of the country, and he is definitely a shit luck.
However, this can only show that he is lucky, and he doesn't need to feel guilty or sorry at all.
Zhang Mao can think like this, which shows that he is still a person of great affection.
Xie Zhi didn't answer immediately, Zhang Mao then said: "Now that the eldest brother's son is not young, I want to find him a better errand, and the better ones that can be found are the pro-military guards, it is quite difficult to get ahead, and it is difficult to find a merit. ”
He wanted to find a merit, and Xie Zhi didn't want it from anyone here.
Xie Zhi didn't say anything for a long time, and Zhang Mao said again: "Don't worry, the old man's nephew wants to be literate and martial, you don't have to agree, let him follow you for a few days, you can try, if you feel that he is not suitable, just send him away." ”
