Chang Yu's arrival made Wu Mengming extremely happy, his mouth was almost grinning to the root of his ears, and his attitude was quite polite and flattering, after all, in addition to knowing Chang Yushen's royal favor, he was also his own God of Wealth.

Greedy for money like him, although he has the heart of greedy for money, he has no way to get rich, mainly because he has been in office for a short time, and his means are not sharp enough, so he can only do some tricks and feet from deducting money and eat some gutter oil, and the real fat has not yet arrived, until he meets Chang Yu.

Putting aside the boxing match, it's just that Chang Yu has allowed him to take a cut of last night's action, and it is nearly 10,000 taels of silver, which is definitely the largest amount of silver he has seen since he took office, and it is so open-minded, how can he not like it.

"It's handed over, it's handed over, the silver of the national abbot Zhou Kui, as well as the British Duke and the Duke of Chengguo has been delivered" Wu Mengming smiled like a flower, and invited Chang Yu to sit down and make tea himself.

"See, one by one will only pretend to be poor on weekdays, and the slightest means will be used, Jinyiwei's edict is simply a gold signboard to make money" Chang Yu smiled: "What about the others? ”

"Only two of the others have paid the silver, and the rest say that they have time to prepare for it urgently" Wu Mengming had a straight face.

And, Chang Yu rolled his eyes, tight on hand? It's just the prevarication of these drama spirits, he doesn't believe that any nobleman can't take out 100,000 taels of silver, even if he can't get a thin camel like Xue Lian, it's just a moment of pain.

"But whoever fails to pay the fine shall remove the bedding at night, and shall not let him sleep at twelve hours, and shall be deprived of water and food, and shall see how long they shall endure." Chang Yu snorted coldly

Wu Mengming was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out his thumb: "Father-in-law Chang is high, the emperor will not let him be punished, and you will not let you sleep or drink water, which is more torturous than a big punishment."

Chang Yu duancha sneered.

Wu Mengming said again: "Guozhang and others have paid the fine, when will they be released?" ”

Chang Yu was silent for a while, and before the sunset city closed, he said and smiled slightly: "Sunset West Mountain, dust twilight is more suitable for the scene, presumably they will have some life feelings"

This is a kind of psychological oppression, Wu Mengming doesn't understand this, he has more things to care about: "Father-in-law Chang, the ...... you promised me"

Looking at Wu Mengming's face, Chang Yu didn't have much disgust, after all, there is nothing evil in this product, and he has always had a double-standard attitude towards corrupt officials, saying that the common people want the officials to be the masters for themselves and serve themselves, but they can't see that the officials are a little cheap, and they have a little privilege, so let's ask, in this case, who is so idle to find guilt and accept being an official, you should be a saint.

But everything has a degree, you can love money or be greedy and bribe-taking, as long as you don't scrape the bones and take the ointment, it is said in the past, and there must be a premise, that is, to take money to do things, the most disgusting thing is those who are corrupt and bribery but do not do things for the people.

Wu Mengming loves money and also takes bribes, but this thing is at least obedient, so Chang Yu is not disgusted with him, and his special identity is still good as a knife maker.

Lord Wu was a little anxious, Chang Yu laughed and got up and said, "Didn't the three families pay the money, you take five thousand taels from it first, and how about you take it after the remaining five thousand people have paid?" ”

"Well, good, good, good" Wu Mengming rubbed his hands excitedly, grateful to Chang Yu, but also a little worried: "Grandpa Chang, this silver is counted, and if you can't account it when you turn around, the emperor ...... "After all, it is the emperor's silver, and he doesn't dare to be greedy."

"Don't worry, our family will take care of this matter, but the emperor will not allow it, and our family will also be on top, the brothers will work hard in the middle of the night, and if they don't give some wine money, won't it chill people's hearts, right, Lord Wu" Chang Yu patted his chest and guaranteed.

"What Chang Gonggong said is very true" Wu Mengming forced a smile, he had already heard the meaning of Chang Yu's words, that is, you don't want to swallow this 10,000 taels alone, your brothers have to give some wine money, and the vague meaning in the words is that this money is actually from Chang Yu, and the account has to be made up for when you go back, after all, you also want to take a cut of the emperor's money, and you can pull the calf.

Of course, with the previous sharing agreement between Chang Yu and Chongzhen, he naturally didn't need to make up for the 10,000 commission, so the words were just to beat Wu Mengming and sell personal favors by the way.

"Father-in-law Chang, the emperor summoned me into the palace early in the morning, and issued an order for Wei Ming'er in Jinyi to immediately pay the silver to the west in the morning, and I will go in person, and authorize all affairs to be supervised by you, I know that you are secret" Wu Mengming talked about business after feeling that the silver was in the bag.

But he didn't want to startle Chang Yu and stood up suddenly: "Tomorrow morning, so rushed?" ”

"Hey, you also know the west, hey" Wu Mengming smiled with a look of expression that you know.

Of course, Chang Yu understands that the war situation in the west is urgent, and the army of thieves is about to overwhelm Taiyuan, and if he wants to mobilize Xuanda's troops to go without pay, this is the embarrassing situation that Daming is facing at this time.

Although I thought that I would have to travel in the next few days, I never thought that it would be tomorrow, and the time was so rushed, and I was still thinking about wearing a set of armor to take protective measures before leaving, it seems that it is too late.

With a sigh, Chang Yu sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Lord Wu, our family is a layman in this matter, and we are just ordered to see the wind, and you have to worry about the specific affairs, since the time is so urgent, let's hurry up and start preparing, and our family will try our best to cooperate."

Wu Mengming's expression straightened when he heard this, and his eyebrows raised slightly: "Father-in-law Chang, the time is too rushed, and there are really many difficulties at the moment, such as insufficient manpower."

Chang Yu frowned and said nothing, and Wu Mengming continued.

"According to the usual practice, the charge is generally done by the Beijing camp, and the establishment is above 1,000 people, and you know the duties of the Jinyi Guard, you have never done this thing, and it is too difficult to transfer 1,000 people in a hurry."

Oh, so that's the case, Chang Yu realized, and then said: "It's not a difficult matter, you transfer three hundred from Jinyiwei, and I'll solve the rest."

"Father-in-law Chang is going to Beijing to transfer people? By the way, I just heard that the governor of Jingying has been replaced," Wu Mengming said lightly.

Chang Yu was stunned, Li Guozhen was replaced in his expectation, but who was replaced?

"Wang Jiayan, the right attendant of the military department"

Finally, history has slowly changed because of his arrival, Chang Yu's mood at the moment is extremely complicated, this Wang Jiayan was just a right attendant of the military department in the original history, until he followed Chongzhen to commit suicide and martyrdom, but now he has become the governor of Beijing.

"Today's court is turned upside down"

Wu Mengming took a sip of tea and continued: "Shoufu Chen Yan was dismissed, it is said that it was because he resolutely opposed the emperor's transfer of Wu Sangui to Guanxi for aid, so that Long Yan was furious, and Wei Dezao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was also dismissed, and the emperor angrily reprimanded him for misleading the country, and what is even more ridiculous is that Li Jiantai, the right attendant of the ministry, did not know whether it was to please the emperor or sincerely serve the country, and he actually recommended himself to return to his hometown to recruit troops on behalf of the emperor to boost morale, but he didn't think about it. He also said that he would cut his post for the people and never use it. Hey, the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly felt that the emperor was ...... Ay! ”

"Don't you think the emperor seems crazy" Chang Yu snorted coldly, and Wu Mengming immediately tightened: "No, no, that's not what I mean" Of course he didn't dare to admit it.

Only Chang Yu knew that Chongzhen had made up his mind to cut through the mess quickly, but Chen's speech was in early February, and now it was only a few days in advance, and he made an excuse for transferring Wu Sangui into the customs.

Wei Dezao took the post of secretary of the military department as an alternate for the last cabinet chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty and only sat for more than a month, and the Ming Dynasty died in the country, this person is mediocre and misguided not to say that his face is extremely ugly, not to mention that the removal is not a pity to kill, so that Chongzhen is too lazy to find an excuse to be dismissed directly, anyway, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the replacement of the military department is more diligent than changing clothes.

As for Li Jiantai, he was really blind to the top of the knife, originally the prince said that he had told Chongzhen about some recent major events in the dream, and he was originally a little skeptical, but with the thief claiming the emperor, the time of sending troops, the route of the march, and the strength of the troops, and other details were verified one by one, Chongzhen had already regarded his son as a prophetic treasure, of course, Li Jiantai had also heard the joke of the emperor's personal expedition, and he was waiting for verification, but the goods were really sent to the door early in the morning, where could Chongzhen, who had been holding back the fire for a long time, spare him, and relieved his heart after the beating, and he was more convinced of the prince, I am even more convinced of the immortal Wengtuo's dream.

Remove three people at once, but who will fill the vacancy? Wang Jiayan took the position of the governor of Jingying, what about Shoufu?

"Li Banghua, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, pays homage to the prime minister!"

Chang Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then showed a hint of a smile, Li Banghua is Chongzhen's last loyal minister, in fact, he also followed him to commit suicide and martyrdom, it is expected to be reused at this moment, and I am afraid that Chongzhen has other ideas, because Li Banghua has always been the behind-the-scenes boss of the southward migration faction.

"What about the military department?" Chang Yu asked again.

"Shi Kefa of the Nanjing Military Department, I don't know why people fell from Nanjing" Wu Mengming shook his head and looked puzzled.

But Chang Yu was pleasantly surprised, and exclaimed: "Good, good, great"

As we all know, the Ming Dynasty actually has three national capitals, Nanjing and Beijing are the capital, and the old Zhu family's hometown Fengyang is the accompanying capital, Fengyang is not mentioned for the time being, but Nanjing is not trivial, after all, the old Zhu family made a fortune here, not to mention that there are two emperors who ascended the throne here, even if Emperor Chengzu moved north, he did not dare to forget his roots, Nanjing still maintains a small court pattern, in addition to the emperor, other Beijing has almost all the yamen Nanjing, of course, it is only symbolic, and Nanjing's military department is the national hero Shi Kefa!

Shi Kefa's name does not need to be repeated, whether he can be a minister and then discuss, but by no means a courtier, more importantly, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the people were scattered and waiting for the old Zhu family to finish, there were few courtiers who came out to carry the banner, in short, his people were loyal, and he dared to fight, and he was by no means a person who sat and ate and drank.

Chongzhen is so drastic, maybe he can really change the will of heaven, if this is the case, he will be much easier, Chang Yu sighed, with a smile on his face.

"Grandpa Chang, the manpower you just mentioned?" Seeing that the time was not early, Wu Mengming urged.

Oh, Chang Yu retracted his thoughts: "You go and arrange the rest of the details, the scum in Jingying is temporarily unusable, I have my own arrangements" Saying that, he got up and said goodbye, and made his own arrangements with Wu Mengming.
