Chapter 11 Checking
Zhang Quan nodded, he also knew that this matter was not up to You Qi, in fact, the two of them were just microphones, and there was still a tacit understanding. The two of them didn't have much time to delay, and went back separately after finishing their business.
Zhang Juzheng's mansion.
You Qi went to see Zhang Juzheng when he returned to the house, and there were still many people who came to visit at the door, but You Qi didn't look at them. In the past few years, as the power of his lord has grown, the number of people who visit every day has not stopped.
When he entered the study, You Qi saw his master sitting and drinking tea.
You Qi knew that his master was waiting for him, and it was rare for his master to be so leisurely these days.
Seeing You Qi come in, Zhang Juzheng put down the teacup and waited for You Qi to report to him with a smile on his face.
"Master, Grandpa Zhang's side agreed, but he made a request." You Qi said with some hesitation: "And the attitude is very resolute, if we don't agree here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Grandpa Zhang's side!" ”
Zhang Juzheng didn't care, and said with a smile: "With Zhang Whale's person, it's strange not to ask for it at this time, let's talk about it, what's the matter." ”
"It's a matter of the Warrior Battalion and the Four Guards Battalion." You Qi thought for a moment and spoke.
Hearing the warrior battalion and the four guard battalions, Zhang Juzheng frowned, for this armed force in the palace, it was really very sensitive. Zhang Juzheng stabbed this armed force in the second year of Wanli, and approved it in the second year of Wanli, and the warriors, the four guards and the two battalions, each cut two battalion officers.
Cutting expenses and reducing battalion officers, this is what Zhang Juzheng has been doing, how could Zhang Whale set his sights on the Four Guards Battalion and the Warrior Battalion? Is it because of the Imperial Horse Supervisor? Zhang Juzheng immediately thought of Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch.
If it was something else, Zhang Juzheng might not think too much, even if it was about money officials, but about the Four Guards Battalion and the Warrior Battalion, Zhang Juzheng had to be cautious.
Although the Imperial Horse Supervisor led the forbidden soldiers from Yongle and Xuande, it really played a role and attracted the attention of the people of the time after the civil engineering changes in the fourteenth year of orthodoxy. At that time, the Wara cavalry directly attacked the Beijing division, and the defense of the capital was carried out for five days under the organization of Yu Qian.
The fiercest battles took place in Xizhimen and Changyimen, due to the Ming army's main force of the three major battalions of the Beijing army, guarded Xizhimen was Liu Ju, the nephew of Liu Yongcheng, the nephew of the imperial horse eunuch, and Liu Ju, the governor of the right army, who took the initiative to attack the Wara army at the Changyi Gate, was the four guards and banner army of the imperial horse supervisor who stayed in Beijing.
In February of the first year of Tianshun, Yingzong was restored and killed Hao Yi, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, because Hao Yi had planned to mobilize the warriors of the four guards to capture and kill Cao Jixiang, the eunuch who supported Yingzong's seizure of the throne. In the fifth year of Tianshun, when Cao Jixiang and his adopted son Zhaowu Bo Cao Qinjing launched a mutiny, the main forces that quelled the mutiny and killed the second Cao were still the four guard warriors and the banner army.
In the ninth year of Zhengde, Wu Zong selected the elite in the 12th regiment battalion of the Beijing Army, organized it into the front and rear two battalions, and trained in the Xiguan Hall with the warrior battalion and the four guard battalions, which was the "selection of the front", which shows that this is a force with extremely strong combat effectiveness.
In the capital, with such a strong fighting army, it is impossible for Zhang Juzheng not to be unscrupulous, he is afraid that someone will use the army to say things or do something.
Since becoming the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng has always been in power, especially the military power, which he sees as very important. It is not that the Ming Dynasty has not happened on the side of the Qing monarch, and in any era, the rulers are extremely optimistic about military power.
It is not that there has been no mutiny in the capital, how could Zhang Juzheng not hesitate to hand over such an army.
For Zhang Juzheng, who wants to control everything, any unstable factors must be nipped in the bud. Zhang Juzheng has one more thing that he can't worry about, that is, the emperor is an adult!
The matter of choosing a queen for the emperor has begun, and the emperor will get married next year, and when the emperor gets married, it will inevitably set off a trend of returning to power, how will he deal with himself at that time?
Zhang Juzheng thought about it and sighed secretly, this Zhang Whale shot was really accurate, and he was to the point.
Although the forbidden army of the Warrior Battalion and the Four Guards Battalion can't see anything in normal times, it is really useful when it is really needed. After pondering for a long time, Zhang Juzheng asked again: "Who is Zhang Whale going to send to the Warrior Camp and the Four Guards Camp?" ”
"Yu Dayou!" You Qi, who had been silent, spoke.
Hearing this name, Zhang Juzheng was stunned for a moment, this name is really too familiar!
Qi Jiguang is his confidant, and Zhang Juzheng has naturally heard of Yu Dayou, after all, these two people are not only good friends, but also known as Yu Long and Qi Hu. Yu Dayou is known for his stubborn temper, and it is not once or twice that he bumps into Shangguan, in comparison, Qi Jiguang will be a lot of people.
"How did Yu Dayou and Zhang Whale get together?" Zhang Juzheng said with a frown.
Yu Dayou's temper Zhang Juzheng didn't know that person was loyal, but his temper was extremely stubborn, and it was impossible to bow his head and pat himself on the back. said that Yu Dayou stammered Zhang Whale, but Zhang Juzheng was the first to believe it.
The whole thing is full of weirdness, Zhang Juzheng always feels unreasonable and wrong.
Although Yu Dayou is very relieved to master the four guards and the warrior battalion, after all, although Yu Dayou has a stubborn temper, he is loyal and upright, and he has good training, but unreasonable is unreasonable, there must be something wrong here.
"Let people check and figure out why Zhang Jing recommended Yu Dayou!" Zhang Juzheng looked at You Qi and instructed lightly.
Although he is in power, Zhang Juzheng is always very careful, and if he is not careful, he will stumble, which is not what Zhang Juzheng wants. Without figuring out the relationship here, Zhang Juzheng didn't dare to make a decision easily.
"Yes, sir!" You Qi nodded, turned around and walked out, looking for someone to investigate this matter.
Of course, the most suitable thing for this matter is Jinyiwei, and what You Qi went to find was Liu Shouyou, the commander of Jinyiwei. In the past few years, with Zhang Juzheng as a backer, Liu Shouyou can be described as smooth sailing and prosperous official luck.
However, in the past few years, Jinyiwei is almost opened by Zhang Juzheng's family.
In the palace, Zhu Yijun is writing, in his previous life, Zhu Yijun felt that he could write calligraphy very handsomely, but he had never practiced, and he also learned from it in this life, although he did not write well, but he never got tired of it.
"Emperor, Xu De is here!" Zhang Whale came to Zhu Yijun's side and whispered.
Zhu Yijun was stunned, he didn't let Xu De enter the palace! But then I realized that there was something going on! Putting down the pen in his hand, Zhu Yijun smiled and took the towel and wiped his hands: "Let him come in!" ”
After a short time, Xu De walked in from outside and said respectfully: "Emperor! ”
"Okay, you come to the palace, is there anything wrong?" Sitting on the dragon chair with a smile, he asked.
