Chapter 744: Changes in the Southeast
In the Yuxu Palace, the emperor himself was sitting on the couch, and he had just listened to Shen Yue's situation report.
In addition to the emperor himself, only Yu Peizhong knew that the emperor was not concerned about the case itself, but was investigating the next commander of the Jinyi Guard.
Don't look at the fact that Jinyiwei is always suppressed by the East Factory and the West Factory, it seems that the status is not too high, but this can't change the fact that Jinyiwei has deep roots.
Many things, even if they are handed over to the East Factory and the West Factory, will still fall on Jinyiwei in the end.
So from the perspective of balance, it is precisely because of the power of Jinyiwei that the emperor needs the East and West Factory to suppress it.
Since Jinyiwei is an extremely important yamen, the selection of its commanders is also very important, and it is worth the emperor's great effort to screen.
The current commander, Sun Xian, is already old, and now he is still in office, and it is completely impossible to do anything more.
But now in the Ming Dynasty, the situation of internal and external troubles, the emperor needs a person who can take charge of things, and such a person has the ability to defend the imperial power.
Now Shen Yue's performance is really difficult to call it able to carry things.
Such a yin owl may be in the position of Nansi, but the command of the Jinyi Guard is a little less meaningful.
Zhu Yujun actually understands that most of the high-level Jinyiwei leaders have been bureaucratized, and the position of commander is even more rotated by those families.
"The position of my Zhu family, should these people sit down?" Zhu Yujun asked questions in his heart.
So over the years, he has openly and secretly promoted a lot of people from the thousands of households below.
These people's abilities must not be said, and they can't integrate into several major families and inner circles after they come up, and the emperor himself is more comfortable to use.
And those who come from behind like Chen Xiaoting are the best among those who have been selected by Jane.
Yu Peizhong handed the tea to the emperor, and said with a very unsettling expression: "This Lord Shen's heart is really ruthless, and he said that he wants to eradicate trouble for the emperor, and that is his own son-in-law!" ”
Can a person who can even give up his own relatives be used?
Of course, it can be used, but it is not suitable for picking up the beam, and it is almost the same in the position of Nansi...... This was the judgment in the emperor's heart.
It can be said that Shen Yue's jumping up and down activities in the sky these days, including his remarks to his daughter and son-in-law, have pushed him farther and farther away from the position of the commander.
"Say less...... How is Pang Shouxing's investigation? Zhu Yujun asked after taking the teacup.
Yu Peizhong replied: "This person is a good friend of Wu Ruihe, but this time he played to impeach Chen Xiaoting...... But he was instigated! ”
"The person who instructed him was Zhang Zhi, the imperial historian of the Inspectorate, who was bribed for his ...... was found by Wang Ruolin! ”
Speaking is an art so far, so after Yu Peizhong said this position, he closed his mouth very wisely.
Wang Ruolin and Shen Yue are competitors, and it is reasonable to threaten Zhang Zhi to rectify Shen Yue, and at the same time, he can provide enough "evidence".
In fact, Pang Shouxing, who played it, was obviously used by Zhang Zhi.
"That's really ...... Twists and turns! Zhu Yujun's tone was not good.
There must be infighting among his subordinates, but it still makes Zhu Yujun feel uncomfortable, but fortunately, he will not be held responsible.
Because in this matter, there is no good or bad, only the behavior that arises from the difference in their positions.
"Let's let me be peaceful for a few days!" Zhu Yujun said helplessly, and at the same time handed the teacup back to Yu Peizhong's hand.
This means that the case is about to end, and it will be over after a while, and after a while, the emperor will release Chen Xiaoting.
At this moment, I only heard a voice from outside the Jingshe: "Your Majesty, an urgent delivery has been sent from the direction of Jiangnan!" ”
The imperial court paid taxes in the southeast, and the southeast was in Jiangnan Province.
In the inventory of all kinds of taxes, Jiangnan is in the forefront, and can supply nearly one million taels of silver to Zhu Yujun every year.
"Bring it on!" Zhu Yujun said in a deep voice.
Yu Peizhong took the express from the little eunuch, and then quickly opened it, and then heard Zhu Yujun say, "What happened? ”
Yu Peizhong hurriedly opened it and looked at it, and this look startled him, the matter was so serious that he didn't know how to repeat it.
"Your Majesty...... Tian Yuanxi was assassinated, on the first day of the seventh month! Yu Peizhong said succinctly and clearly.
Tian Yuanxi is the town guard eunuch in Jiangnan, and in the past two years, he has focused on clearing taxes, and he has cooperated well with the household officials.
But the work they do is very offensive, so conflicts have broken out from time to time in the past two years, and it can be said that the money collected is bloody.
But the imperial court needs silver, so a few days ago, Zhu Yujun also made a decree and told the tax-collector not to be polite to the people below.
How many days have passed? Things turned out to be like this, daring to attack the eunuchs of the town guard in Dongchang, those gentry were too presumptuous.
Zhu Yujun's face was extremely ugly, and he asked, "How is Tian Yuanxi?" Can I still run errands? ”
Yu Peizhong replied: "Tian Yuanxi was hit by an arrow in the abdomen, and it was quenched with poison, now I am afraid that it is more than lucky!" ”
"Do these people want to rebel? Aren't you afraid that I will punish him for the nine clans and the ten clans? Zhu Yujun said angrily.
The gentry and businessmen below attacked Tian Yuanxi because they didn't want to pay the money, but Zhu Yujun and the Ming Dynasty needed the money very much, so they were destined to be opposites.
As for whether the gentry and businessmen did it, there is no need to think about it at all, Zhu Yujun has seen all kinds of tricks over the years.
"For the rich is not benevolent, it is indeed for the rich and unkind...... It's just that some people are eye-to-eye, and now even the eunuchs sent by me dare to kill them, isn't this a rebellion? ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Yujun simply stood up and walked to his imperial case and said: "It must be strictly investigated, this time it must be strictly investigated!" ”
"Yes......" Yu Peizhong quickly replied, he could understand how angry the emperor was.
"I have to send someone from the capital to investigate this matter thoroughly, who should I send?" Zhu Yujun asked again.
It is not easy to choose people in this matter, because the situation in Jiangnan is more complicated, and if it is not handled well, it is easy to cause a big disaster.
"East and West No. 2 Factory, Jinyi Weizhong...... Who is the right person to send? ”
After thinking about it, Yu Peizhong replied: "Back to the emperor, the old slave thinks ...... It's appropriate to send someone from the North Town Fusi! ”
"Do you think that the people of Jiangnan Qianhu are absolutely reliable?" Zhu Yujun asked rhetorically.
Although Jiangnan Qianhu has contributed a lot of news over the years, who can guarantee that those people have not been corrupted? Zhu Yujun can't trust these people.
"Your Majesty, the old slave means to send someone from Beizhen Fusi to investigate, not someone to supervise the people of the Thousand Households in Jiangnan!" Yu Peizhong explained.
As for why they didn't send people from the East and West No. 2 Factory, it was really because of the lack of manpower, so they couldn't send a few big eunuchs, and it didn't work for other people with low ranks.
At this time, it is time to reflect the size advantage of Jinyiwei, and they can place enough official positions.
"So who do you think should be sent?" Zhu Yujun asked in a deep voice, although he already had the answer in his heart.
"Everything should be judged by the emperor, how dare the slave and maid talk more!" Yu Peizhong said this in order to avoid responsibility.
Zhu Yujun didn't talk nonsense, but said directly: "Then let ...... Chen Xiaoting go, he hasn't disappointed me yet! ”
Being able to make such a comment by the emperor, Yu Peizhong couldn't help but be a little jealous of Chen Xiaoting, who was still an ordinary eunuch at this age.
"The emperor's grace is vast, presumably this Chen Qianhu will definitely be able to share the emperor's worries!" Yu Peizhong said with a smile.
