Chapter Twenty-Six: Jin Yiwei
As soon as he saw Zhang Lingyang, Sun Sheng cried: "Old slave Sun Sheng, knock to see Long Live Lord." ”
"Get up!"
When Sun Sheng got up, Zhang Lingyang looked at Sun Sheng carefully.
Old man, this is Sun Sheng's first impression of himself.
At this time, Sun Sheng was already in his fifties, and because he was relegated to Xuzhou to see the imperial tomb by Zhao Chenxi, the emperor of Tai'an, who had just succeeded to the throne, his heart was shocked, so he looked extremely old.
Seeing the exhaustion in Sun Sheng's eyes, Zhang Lingyang said: "You have to rest for a few days, and when you have enough spirits, you will come to serve me again, and the position of the palm seal of the celebrant will still be held by you!" ”
"Old slave knock thank God!" Sun Sheng was grateful again.
After Sun Sheng retired, Zhang Lingyang began to think carefully in his heart.
With the return of Sun Sheng, Zhang Lingyang can be regarded as having completely mastered the palace, so the next step is to completely master Jinyiwei.
The current commander of the Jinyi Guard, Qian Du, seems to be quite sincere, but I don't know how loyal he is to himself?
In the brocade guard, has the minister installed eyeliner?
These are all issues that Zhang Lingyang has to consider.
As for whether the eunuch is faithful to himself? Zhang Lingyang didn't think about this problem.
After all, eunuchs depend on the emperor for their survival. The eunuchs of all dynasties, no matter how prominent their status, wanted to take off their heads was only a matter of words.
How prominent were Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian in the Ming Dynasty during their lifetimes, especially Wei Zhongxian, who was called nine thousand years old, and the ancestral halls were all over the place, didn't Emperor Chongzhen take them down with a word?
You must know that Emperor Chongzhen at that time had just succeeded to the throne.
Therefore, Zhang Lingyang was not worried about the problem of eunuchs at all.
Compared with the eunuchs, Zhang Lingyang was obviously more worried about the loyalty of Jinyiwei.
It is said that the Jinyi Guard is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, but it is not without the Jinyi Guard who defected to the minister.
After all, Jinyiwei is different from eunuchs.
The eunuchs had no children and had no daughters, and they could only survive by relying on the emperor.
Jin Yiwei has a family, and for the sake of their family, it is not surprising that they did anything to betray the emperor.
"Why don't you test the loyalty of the Jinyi Guard?" Thinking so in his heart, Zhang Lingyang shouted outside the door: "Someone, quickly Xuan Jinyi Guard commanded Qian Du to come to meet him." ”
Half an hour later, Qian Du hurriedly came to the palace.
Qian Du is a middle-aged man in his forties, nine feet tall, with bright eyes, plus a heroic flying fish suit, and a resolute look.
During the reign of the first emperor, the Jinyi Guard, as a sharp weapon, has become dispensable, but from Qian Du, Zhang Lingyang did not see a trace of decadence.
"The minister Jinyi Wei commanded Qian Du to see His Majesty." When he entered the hall and saw Zhang Lingyang, Qian Du hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"Get up!"
After Qian Du got up, Zhang Lingyang asked, "Qian Aiqing, it's been a month since I arranged for you, I don't know how things are going?" ”
Qian Du replied: "Back to Your Majesty, I have found out some illegal things of officials, but most of them are prefectures and counties near the capital. As for other places, I am afraid that it will take some more time to find out the results. ”
Qian Du said while secretly looking at Zhang Lingyang's expression, and seeing Zhang Lingyang's frowns, he knew that Zhang Lingyang was not satisfied with what he had just said, so he opened his mouth again: "However, Weichen has found out some things about Liu Wenxuan, the head of the household department. ”
Hearing about Liu Wenxuan, Zhang Lingyang hurriedly said: "What is the matter?" Hurry up! ”
"Yes!" Qian Du continued: "A few days ago, the Jinyi guards in the capital discovered that Liu Wenxuan had actually included a woman in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion into the mansion. ”
Qian Du's words fell, Zhang Lingyang stared at Qian Du with sharp eyes and said: "Baihua Pavilion is the land of fireworks, Liu Wenxuan is the head of the household, such an action is indeed indecent, but it is not a big crime, you use such trivial things to fool me?" I don't want to do your position as a commander! ”
Seeing Zhang Lingyang scolding, Qian Du did not panic at all, but knelt on the ground again and said, "Your Majesty, please listen to the minister." ”
Seeing Zhang Lingyang nodding in acquiescence, Qian Du said: "Originally, there was nothing, but the key is that Liu Shangna's identity is a little special. ”
"How special law?" Zhang Lingyang asked.
Qian Du replied: "That woman is the daughter of Lord Zhou of the former Dali Temple, because of the crime of Lord Zhou during the Yongkang period, her daughter Yutong was exiled to Baihua Pavilion. But this week, the adult was Liu Shangshu's best friend before his death, and Liu Shangshu spent a full 50,000 taels of silver in order to redeem that Yutong. ”
"Is that really the case?" Zhang Lingyang asked in surprise.
Qian Du replied: "Back to Your Majesty's words, it is true. ”
Zhang Lingyang couldn't help laughing: "Okay! Good! A good household secretary, a good Liu Wenxuan, you immediately go to Liu Wenxuan's house with my will to arrest him, hand him over to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Inspectorate for interrogation, and raid his mansion. ”
"Wechen obeys!"
After the holy decree was drawn up, Qian Du took the holy decree and hurried out of the palace.
Of course, the holy decree was not drawn up by Zhang Lingyang himself, but drafted by a small eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, and then it was stamped after Zhang Lingyang read it.
After Qian Du returned to the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard, he said to a person who was basking in the sun at the gate: "Han Xiao, hurry up, it's time for a big deal." ”
The person who was basking in the sun was named Han Xiao, a thousand households in Fusi, Weibei Town, Jinyi, in his thirties, and his relationship with Qian Du couldn't be better.
Hearing Qian Du's shout, Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and said weakly, "What big deal can there be?" ”
Qian Du came to Han Xiao's side, picked it up and said in Han Xiao's ear: "Your Majesty just issued an order to let us raid the mansion of Liu Wenxuan, the head of the household department, is it a big deal?" ”
"What?" Han Xiao couldn't help but be taken aback, and couldn't close her mouth in surprise.
Seeing Han Xiao's loud voice, which attracted the attention of the people around him, Qian Du immediately covered Han Xiao's mouth and whispered, "Whisper to Lao Tzu." ”
Seeing Han Xiao blinking and nodding, Qian Du let go of his hand.
Han Xiao said softly: "Is it true? ”
Qian Du patted the sleeve of his left hand, and a bright yellow was revealed in the sleeve, and Han Xiao believed it.
Qian Du said: "You quickly lead your brothers to gather, you want others to see it, and you can't eat alone if you want to." ”
"I'm going to gather my brothers!" At this time, Han Xiao was like a rabbit off his head, and he ran out frantically after replying.
Seeing Han Xiao leave in a hurry, Qian Du shook his head helplessly, and then pretended to be casual and entered the command envoy's yamen.
Just like today's court, Jinyi Weili is also a lot of power, each with its own mountain.
Even if Qian is the commander, he can't control the entire Jinyi Guard.
Not to mention anything else, there are as many as six people in the following Tongzhi, Thrifty, and Suppression, and they can all threaten Qian Du's current position.
If he revealed the news to these people at this moment, it was impossible to say that these people would reveal the news before the Jinyi Guard was assembled in order to pull him down.
When the time comes, the Son of Heaven will be angry, and Qian Du's command will naturally do it.
Therefore, Qian Du only told the news to his cronie Han Xiao alone.
