Chapter 74: A new official takes office

"Adults are young, it's a good time to be carefree, why bother to be so quick that you die halfway? Adults should know that the successive commanders of the Jinyi Guard have rarely died well. Guo Youdao smiled bitterly.

He originally wanted to persuade Zhang Ning in private, but he also thought that he owed Zhang Ning a big favor, so he had no position to persuade him, so he was cross-minded and simply did business and impeached him.

I didn't expect it to cause a big deal because of this.

Misunderstanding. He roared inwardly.

"You're going to die now, so you'd better care about yourself first." Zhang Ning instructed: "Come here, play the 'pipa' for him." ”

"Playing the pipa" is the first of the ten tortures, the specific operation is to strip the prisoner's clothes, tie the prisoner's hands and pull it back as much as possible, highlighting the ribs and skin, and then use a sharp knife to cut it off, and finally expose the white bones.

As soon as Zhang Ning's words fell, two lieutenants outside the house entered in response and saluted, "What do you command?" ”

Hearing the words "playing the pipa", Guo Youdao sat on the ground as soon as he saw the captain come in, thinking that he was going to be executed, in a panic, he climbed two steps forward, hugged Zhang Ning's thigh, and begged: "Kill me, adult." ”

He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of this capital punishment.

Zhang Ning broke away from his arm, smiled slightly, and said, "You and I have no selfish grudges, as long as you repent and introspect, what ......is this punishment?"

Guo Youdao listened to Zhang Ning's tone relaxed, saw the dawn of hope, and hurriedly said: "As long as you are not subject to this capital punishment, the lower officials, the lower officials are willing not to be impeached, no, the lower officials are willing to follow the adults." "Anyway, I already owe him a favor before, so I should sell my life to him.

Getting so fast? You are the imperial history, you should rather die than give in, and only leave your name in the world. Zhang Ning complained silently and said, "Follow this official? ”

"Yes. Adults say how to do it, and do it. Guo Youdao only wants not to be punished by death, even if he is killed immediately, he doesn't care.

Zhang Ning waved his hand, and the two lieutenants stepped back.

"Get up." Zhang Ning sat in the chair.

Guo Youdao got up in fear, his official robe was soaked with cold sweat, and it took a long time before he said, "My lord? "Am I really safe?

How can the current Guo Youdao still have the appearance of a fairy with a little fairy wind and bones? But one sentence made him so depressed, and Jin Yiwei was really notorious. After three or four months in Jinyiwei, Zhang Ning felt the domineering ferocity of Jinyiwei for the first time. It's no wonder that countless people have sharpened their heads to become a captain of the brocade guard, and it feels really cool to bully people openly.

Zhang Ning said: "You first stay in the Imperial Prison for a few days, and then you can return home unharmed." ”

"Still going to prison?" Guo Youdao's legs are weak again, I am already willing to follow you, why do you still send me to prison?

"I won't torture you, I'm just putting on a show. How is it? Zhang Ning said.

What do I mean? Of course I don't want to, but if I don't agree, I won't have to go to prison as well, but I'm afraid that I will be punished with capital punishment like "playing the pipa". Guo Youdao said with a sad face: "The lower officials just listen to the orders of the adults." ”

"If you are willing to follow this official, this official will naturally not harm you. Come. Zhang Ning appeased, and then a majestic "coming" made Guo Youdao's legs weak again and he sat on the ground.

"My lord, do you really not have to be punished?" He asked uneasily. He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that life is better than death.

Zhang Ning said: "Really. Rest assured. ”

The two lieutenants came in again and saluted, "Your Excellency." ”

They are Zhang Ning's henchmen, Ren Rong and Gao Xiaodi. Zhang Ning was promoted to commander, so he let the two of them enter the Jinyi Guard and became captains, so that it was convenient to follow him.

Although they were outside, the conversation in the house reached their ears word for word, and the two of them had a good impression of this guy who impeached their little master, and after the salute, the two pairs of eyes stared at each other, and Guo Youdao wailed: "My lord, you said that you would not be punished." ”

Zhang Ning ignored him and ordered: "Please ask Lord Guo to go to the Imperial Prison to live for a few days, just live in the room where Wang Zhen lived last time, three meals a day, don't starve him." ”

The house where Wang Zhen lived! Guo Youdao's eyes darkened and he fainted.

Ren Rong and Gao Xiaodi grabbed one of his legs and dragged him out, shackled him, and got him into the prisoner car, and there were people along the way: "See, Yushi impeached Lord Zhang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and was convicted and imprisoned." ”

The news spread more and more, and in less than two hours, everyone in the capital knew that Zhang Daren was ruthless, and sent the impeached Yushi Guo to prison.

After the impeachment of Zhang Ning, there are those who are prepared for the future, some are so worried that they can't sleep all night, and there are also those who beat their chests and can't regret it. Those who were writing a piece of music to prepare for impeachment threw away their brushes, lit a fire, and burned the draft.

Some people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of dying miserably; Others just follow the trend and join in the fun. The most important point is that everyone has no enmity with Zhang Ning, they just think that he is too young to take on this heavy responsibility, but no one expected that this hairy boy who was only fifteen years old would act very quickly, and act immediately to make the unlucky Guo Youdao worse than dead.

Maybe it's your turn next.

It's horrible.

There are also a very small number of imperial historians who are not afraid of death, and they are not afraid that life is worse than death, and they want to continue to impeach until the emperor takes back his fate. It's a pity that before the music was written, he was persuaded by his wife. You are not afraid of death, you can settle our mother and son first before dying.

Seeing his wife and children with a handful of tears and snot, no matter how hard his heart was, he had to tear up the half-written piece and throw it into the wastebasket.

…………

In a quiet courtyard not far from the Qianqing Palace, the obese Cao Jixiang looked very ugly after listening to the report, and when the little eunuch left, he paced back and forth for a while, muttering to himself: "How dare he send Guo Youdao to prison!" ”

Zhang Ning is too young to know the horror of the imperial history. He provoked the hornet's nest, don't talk about him, even Daniel Zhang, who is far away in Datong, is afraid that the official position of deputy general soldier will not be retained.

Cao Jixiang laughed and said to himself: "He also wants to fight with me? Hehe. ”

Dongchang and Jinyiwei have always fought openly and secretly. In the past, in order to compete for favor with the emperor, there were many stumbling blocks for each other, and they only coexisted peacefully in the past two years, for the simple reason that the actual helmsman of these two spy agencies was Wang Zhen. How can I get along with myself?

Now that Wang Zhen is dead, the commander of Dongchang Factory and Jinyiwei makes the position vacant, Cao Jixiang waited for several days, but he didn't expect to wait for Zhang Ning to become the commander's edict.

The Emperor seemed to have forgotten him.

Fortunately, the courtiers strongly objected, and Cao Jixiang happily watched Zhang Ning's joke and received the news that Zhang Ning had sent Guo Youdao to prison. He couldn't figure out where Zhang Ning got the confidence, but with his experience, civil officials, especially the imperial history, were very difficult to deal with, and it seemed that Zhang Ning was going to get out soon.

You don't have to do anything, just watch the show.

…………

Zhu Qizhen found that none of the pieces sent today impeached Zhang Ning, as if this incident had never happened.

He thought that there were still pieces that had not been sent, and when he asked Jia Xiaosi, he realized that they were all here, and he couldn't help but be very strange.

The Empress Dowager could no longer listen to politics after her illness, Wang Zhen was dead, and there was no way for the dead to replace the emperor's approval, so Zhu Qizhen had to handle government affairs in person. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took over, he encountered the impeachment of Zhang Ning by the courtiers.

He had a headache for a few days, and suddenly his ears were quiet, and he was very unaccustomed to it for a while.

When Zhang Ning entered the palace, he was curious: "How did Qing do it?" ”

This wrist is amazing.

Zhang Ning smiled slightly and said, "The minister just scared them, and told them with facts that the impeached minister would die a miserable death in the edict." They have no deep hatred with their ministers, no political differences, no conflicts of interest, and naturally no longer dwell on this matter. ”

What Zhang Ning didn't say was that there was no deep hatred and hatred, the important thing was that these people thought he was young and didn't need to be frightened, but they didn't expect that not only did they not scare him away, but instead made him show his fangs.

After knowing how powerful he is, who dares to talk too much?

So Zhu Qizhen's ears were quiet, and Zhang Ning was able to justify himself as the youngest commander of the Jinyi Guard in history.

…………

"Are they scared?" Cao Jixiang felt incredible and couldn't believe it, just sending Guo Youdao to the edict prison scared the civil officials? When did the civil servants become so bold?

He sent people to investigate, but he couldn't find out that Guo Youdao was tortured in Jinyiwei.

The Imperial Prison is the territory of the Jinyi Guard, and it is tightly guarded, and his people can't get in, only to find out that Guo Youdao has indeed entered the gate of the Imperial Prison, since he has entered, it must be difficult to survive.

So to scare the civil officials? It's incredible.

Or is it that the civil officials are actually afraid of Zhang Fu and the entire Xungui group? Cao Jixiang felt that this must be the case.

He looked at the official direction of Qianqing, thinking of Jia Xiaosi, who had been waiting by the emperor's side, only to feel that there were many crises, since the fifteen-year-old Zhang Ning could become the commander, why couldn't the fourteen-year-old Jia Xiaosi become the Dongchang factory?

This kid is not very ambitious.

…………

The room left by Ma Shun, Zhang Ning has already asked people to clean it up and change the furniture, but he doesn't know why, he always feels very depressed. Is it because the three predecessors in a row did not end well?

"Come on, clean up a yard again." Zhang Ning said.

Ren Rong said: "Which yard do you like?" ”

In the Jinyiwei compound, Zhang Ning has the final say, he takes a fancy to it, and his subordinates naturally want to vacate it.

"Let's go, let's see." Zhang Ning got up and walked out of the courtyard, inspecting this extremely wide, boxy and smelly place. This place is composed of courtyards of different sizes, and the courtyard is where the offices of the various departments are located, and when they saw him come in, they all got up and saluted, and at the same time secretly muttered, the new official has three fires, this lord should not burn the fire on his head.

Zhang Ning was so kind that he didn't act properly at all, chatted with his subordinates, turned around and left.

After looking at five or six courtyards in this way, I came to a place where the walls were as white as new and the yard was quite spacious. When I entered the courtyard gate, I saw a large cluster of peonies in the center. Yes, a very well prescribed peony.

This doesn't match the murderous reputation of Jinyiwei. Zhang Ning was a little stunned. It's also strange that the nobles who have been busy congratulating him in the past two days, and the civil officials who have pulled him down from their seats, don't have time to go around their own acres and three-thirds, you must know that there is such a good place, why nest in the courtyard of Ma Shun?

Footsteps sounded, and a person came out of the east wing.

This person is in his early forties, his face is white and beardless, and his joy and anger are invisible, it is Jiang Wenju.

"I've seen adults." Jiang Wen held a ceremony, but he refused to say a word.

"Lord Jiang is exempt. Is this your yard? Zhang Ning circled around the large bush of peonies with great interest, and said, "How can there be this in the courtyard?" ”

Jiang Wenju said expressionlessly: "Xiaguan likes flowers and plants, and he especially likes peonies, so he let people plant one here, but I didn't expect the land to be fertile, and it will grow so much after a long time." ”

"How much better is that?" Zhang Ning paced for a while, but he hadn't finished a circle, but this bush of peonies was too big.

"I guess so. Adult, please. Jiang Wenju said expressionlessly.

Zhang Ning thought for a while and said, "Lord Jiang, this official is also a person who loves flowers, I wonder if I can change the yard with you?" ”

Jiang Wen raised his eyes and shrank and did not speak.

Zhang Ning smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the white clouds floating in the sky.

After more than a dozen breaths, Jiang Wenju said expressionlessly: "Since the adults like this peony, the lower officials asked them to dig it up and transplant it to the adult's courtyard." ”

"No, I want this yard." Zhang Ning said casually: "You like flowers and plants, just transplant them over." ”

Jiang Wen's eyes shrank again, and after a long while, he said expressionlessly: "Yes, the lower officials will transfer people."

So obedient? Zhang Ning took a fancy to this courtyard and asked for it, and also had the intention of testing Jiang Wenju, but he didn't expect him to be very reluctant, but he quickly accepted it meekly.

Zhang Ning didn't speak, entered the east wing, and saw that the furnishings inside were simple and atmospheric, and it was very orderly, so he couldn't help but praise: "Lord Jiang has a ditch in his chest, it's not simple." ”

Jiang Wenju still said expressionlessly: "Master Xie praises." If you like it, you can keep it. The lower official packed up and went to the east courtyard. ”

The east courtyard is the courtyard where the Jinyi Guard is located on behalf of the Jinyi Guard.

"You are good and promising. Hahaha. Zhang Ning was in a very happy mood and praised him again. No wonder this person can sit firmly in the position of the Tongzhi of Beizhen Fusi, this look is really rare.

"Master Xie. If the lord has no other instructions, the lower official will start to clean up. Some documents have to be done by the officials themselves. ”

In other words, if you ask me to move, I will move right away, but I don't have time to accompany you.

"Go ahead." Zhang Ning said lightly.

Jiang Wenju has been in this position for seven years, and has gone through two terms of commanders, how can he do it without skills? Zhang Ning had the idea of using it if he could use it, and withdrawing if he couldn't use it, but now that he is so cooperative, he naturally uses it first and then talks about it.

Jiang Wenju moved quickly, and in less than half an hour, he packed up all the paperwork, and did other things in person, and two hours later, the two changed the yard.

Sitting behind the table with a bright window, Zhang Ning only felt relaxed and happy. He couldn't help but think: "Could it be that Ma Shun was beaten to death, not by fate, but by bad feng shui?" ”

Zhang Ning took out the quaint jade pendant from his sleeve pocket, stroked it gently for a while, and put it in his sleeve pocket again, only to feel that he was carrying it, not wearing it on his body, his luck was slightly stronger, and it would not turn into bad luck after a quarter of an hour.

Or can you slowly change your luck by carrying it all the time, but it doesn't have an immediate effect?
