Since he devoted himself to Zhu Pingjian, Zheng Anmin has not taken on any important work except for serving as the chief steward of a firearms bureau. Zhu Pingjin used Zheng Anmin, perhaps more because he took a fancy to the black veil on his head, which could shelter the Shu Mansion from the wind and rain in some tricky matters. Now that the prince has made up his mind, he will take the opportunity of the dereliction of duty at the Tiren Gate to carry out a large-scale rectification and reform of the left guard.

Will this incident become an opportunity for Zheng Anmin to come forward?

The meaning of the prince is very clear, the interests of the officials will not be touched or less touched for the time being, and the current officials will be re-screened and selected, and those who are not qualified will be told to get out. The incumbent officers who have been selected are treated in line with those of the new army. As for the treatment of the left guard sergeants, it also follows their actual duties. The treatment of the guards who entered the palace was with the caravan, and the guards who were trained and the Zhuang team who were guarded by the Tuntian. Others retain military status, that's all.

It's just that how to dispose of the land illegally occupied by officers at all levels, Shizi did not give a clear statement. That involved the interests of almost all officers of the Left Guard. If it is not handled well, it is possible to really rebel. In addition, Zheng Anmin has another concern, he himself is only a civilian official, and he does not hold a position in the new army of the prince. Is it appropriate for him to participate in the rectification and reform of this left guard?

"The left guard is the prince's own soldier. Do you wait for this plague to pass, find a free time, and the prince will gather Commander Yu, General Song, Mr. Shu, Mr. He, etc., and have a meeting to discuss it together? Zheng Anmin was a little tentative. Shizi likes to call the court meeting a meeting, and he often follows the call and gets used to it.

"The problem of the Left Guard is not a purely military issue, first of all, a political and economic issue! And, of course, there are personnel issues. Zhu Pingjin shook his head and categorically rejected Zheng Anmin's suggestion.

"Commander Yu's family occupies a lot of land, and they are in the whirlpool, so it is best to avoid suspicion. Song Zhenzong is a Qin person, and he turned out to be a marginal person of the left guard, because he was not contaminated with some of the bad habits of the left guard, so this son boldly used it against him. The last time he failed to recruit troops, it has already proved that he is not suitable to participate in the reform and rectification of the left guard. Mr. He, who served as a member of the General Staff Headquarters, had the right to transfer, employ, and train troops, but did not have the right to select troops and generals. Only Mr. Junshu, the director, is the duty to ask about the personnel of the army! The next day, Mr. Li arrived at Songlin Mountain, and Ben Shizi asked him to go to the left guard to see the land situation there.

Since Lord Zheng sincerely follows the son of this world, and is a serious right minister of the Shu Palace, it is also his due responsibility to participate in the protection of the cardinal with literature and martial arts. That's good, let's learn from the imperial court and have a cross-post. This prince immediately issued an order to appoint you, Lord Zheng, as the main supervisor of the left guard, and Mr. Shu as the deputy supervisor. The reason for the decree is that Liu Quanzhong is rebelling, the left guard is unstable, and he urgently needs to be appeased and rectified! With this reason, even if Liao Daheng and Liu Zhibo knew, they wouldn't say anything. If they oppose it, the left guards really make a fuss, and they will come and carry it! ”

Cross-posting, it turns out to be a part-time crossover! Zheng Anmin is a very smart person, and he immediately tasted a few meanings in Zhu Pingjin's short words:

First, the prince affirmed his recent work and was ready to use him greatly. In the rectification of the left guard, he did not participate, but took the lead, or even presided over.

The second is that the caravan and village protection team created by the prince are not a simple military organization as the outside world thinks. On the contrary, it has a very fine division of power within it.

The third is that Liu Quanzhong's rebellion is not over. If there are people within the Left Guard who are dissatisfied with the reform and rectification of the prince, it is not impossible to have another great purge. This dirty work is done by him, Zheng Anmin.

Fourth, Yu Ruzhen has lost the trust of the son of the world, and he will definitely stand aside.

At this time last year, Zheng Anmin was assigned to the Shu Palace, losing all hope. If he hesitates and looks forward, he will lose the last big opportunity in his life.

This is not Zheng Anmin's character.

Zheng Anmin straightened the black yarn and then worshiped the son of Shu.

Soon after Zhu Pingjin and Zheng Anmin finished talking, Yu Ruzhen, the commander of the left guard, and Yin Jialin, the commander of the Qianhu, asked for an audience outside the Jinde Palace. Zhu Pingjin did not summon them personally, but asked the eunuch Qin Yi to go out to understand the situation. After the Qin descendants returned, they returned the confessions they had recorded during their interrogation.

The cause of the Tirenmen incident was just a bar of soap.

There were four people on duty in Tirenmen last night, and the leading officer was named Huang Sui, who was hereditary and had a hundred households. With him, there is also a test hundred households, two soldiers. Coincidentally, Huang Sui was the person in Song Zhenzong's mouth whose father fell from the house and broke his legs to borrow money from him.

Zhu Pingjin summoned the king of Shudi and the hundred officials on the platform of the carrier hall last night, and Luo Yuhong gave each of them a piece of soap that was temporarily made in the afternoon. She said that she had been busy all afternoon and had only made about fifty yuan, which was of course a lie.

Because she couldn't find a large enough iron pot for a while, she temporarily borrowed a large copper pot in front of the palace of the King of Shu. The large copper cylinder was originally a pair, which is usually filled with water to prevent fire, that is, the fire water tank. The houses of the palace are all traditional Chinese wooden beams and bucket arch structures, which are not afraid of earthquakes and fires. It is said that the Shu Wangfu suffered a fire during the Wanli period, which burned badly, and it cost nearly one million taels of silver to rebuild. At that time, Zhu Pingjin's ancestors wanted the Sichuan Buzheng Secretary to sponsor a little silver, but he was scolded by others. Learn from the pain, in order to prevent fire, this kind of large copper cylinder is placed everywhere in the palace of the king of Shu, there is a pair in front of the main hall of the prince of Zhu Pingjin, and there is also a pair in front of the front hall and the back hall of the Jinde Palace. Of course, why did his wife use the big copper jar in front of the palace of King Shu, instead of Zhu Pingjian's, this Zhu Pingjian doesn't know. Zhu Pingjin guessed, maybe it was a decision, burn it, and go to bad luck.

A large copper cylinder can hold four or five hundred catties of water, and the density of soap is greater than that of water, and the soap will only be more than less. The only problem Luo Yuhong encountered was that it was a bit troublesome to take out the prepared soap. She took out more than 50 yuan of good looks and gave them away, and those with poor quality were sent to the eunuchs, palace maids and guard sergeants in the palace as special offerings. Huang Sui and the other three also got a sticky black and yellow lump.

Huang Sui got a special offering, I don't know who I heard about it, this-like thing is an elixir for plague control and epidemic prevention, and a pound outside the house has been fried to thirty taels of silver. He was borrowing money from all over the place, and of course he was reluctant to use it himself, so he said hello to his subordinates and slipped to the East Market to sell it. When his subordinates saw the leader slipping away, they quickly understood the mystery, so they did the same, said hello to a familiar little eunuch in the nearby room, and went to the street to set up a stall. The little eunuch promised to do well at that time, but when he saw that the time had come to close the door, but the man did not come back for a long time, he was so upset that he closed the door and went to sleep by himself. When the four men came back with the money, they could not open the door of the house under any circumstances.

It's simple, even hilarious, but it's very bad. In wartime, this kind of desertion can kill the first ten times.

After the Qin descendant finished his return, he humbly bent his waist and waited for his master to make a decision. The prince continued to lie on the table, looking through the fold of a blue brocade cover, without saying a word, and occasionally writing a few sentences. How are those soldiers punished? Is it to camp with arrows or cut off ears and noses? Is it a prelude to a knife and a slash? That little eunuch is a peripheral member of the news group he just developed, should he intercede for that little eunuch?

"Qin descendant!" The voice suddenly came from behind his desk, making him shudder.

"The slave is here!" Qin Yi tried not to let his voice tremble.

"What did you have news yesterday?"

He never knew what news Shizi liked, and he didn't know how Shizi used the news he brought back, but he still brought the news he got yesterday one by one:

"General Song and Fubiao's General Gyatso drank wine and ate meat in Hejiang Tower last night. That Gyatso seemed to have said something, which made General Song very embarrassed. ”

"Didn't drink the flower bar?" Shizi's face was expressionless, and he didn't know whether to laugh or be angry.

"Nope. Right in the lobby, by the window. ”

"What else?" Shizi stretched the blue fold of the intelligence bureau to reveal more words.

"Liu Huilian, Liao Tycoon's concubine, quietly called Hua Dan Cuiniang of the Sanqing class into the Futai Yamen last night. Cui Niang said that the yamen did not allow them to use musical instruments, only to sing. There was only one man who listened to the singing, and they heard Liu Huilian call this person's eldest brother. Later, when Liao Daheng came back, he let them disperse. ”

Zhu Pingjian's ears listened to Qin's report, but his eyes were compared to the information sent back by Master Qian and Master Li. It seems that Liao Daheng and his cheap brother-in-law are plotting something important, and even a few of his masters dare not tell it.

"Anything else?"

"There is also the fact that Liu Zhibo slept very late last night. His study was lit until four o'clock. ”

I didn't go to bed until two in the morning. As soon as Liu Zhibo arrived in Chengdu, he was in a hurry to report to Beijing to hit me! Zhu Pingjin thought.

"How did you know about Liu Zhibo?" Zhu Pingjin asked.

"The slave maid took the silver of the prince and rented a second-floor window house outside the wall of the patrol yamen, so that she could see the movement of the second hall of the yamen."

"Good! Liu Zhibo has to stare at it twelve hours a day! ”

Qin has been in the palace for more than thirty years, and this is the first time that he has been praised by the prince.

This little master used to be in Changchun Palace, and it was the stars holding the moon, and he was very favored. Therefore, he is naughty and mischievous, and does all kinds of evil. Later, when he turned ten years old, he was crowned the prince, because the princess was reluctant, and she didn't move to Xifu until the beginning of last year. Qin Yi felt that after the prince came over, he had grown up a lot unconsciously. The biggest change is that his temperament is calm, and he can hold things in his stomach. It's not like when he was a child, he was playing crazy on the platform, as long as he suddenly stopped and pouted his buttocks, everyone knew what was going to happen...... The princess screamed loudly, and a large group of eunuchs and palace maids chased after her with toilet paper and a broom.

Qin Yi recalled those interesting things back then, and suddenly thought of the little eunuch of the Tiren Sect. This little eunuch is now the same age as himself at that time, only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he is still a playful, sleepy, and ignorant age.

Thinking of this, Qin Yi took the opportunity of the prince's praise and mustered up the courage to plead.

"He is the person who is kept by Cao San." Zhu Pingjin's voice was cold, "What you can give to the message group is only silver and future, and nothing else can be given." And you gave the money and the future, and you can't let them know that you gave it. So once they're caught confessing, you can quickly cut the line! Do you understand? ”

"Slave understands!" Qin's whole body fell to the ground.

"Get up, don't take an example!" Zhu Pingjin said: "This person will not die, and he will be assigned to guard the tomb in the eastern suburbs!" If his mouth is not tight, and news leaks out, you will dispose of him. You don't want to preach the decree, Cao Sanbao will come to ask for the decree. Now go and call Zheng Anmin, Yu Ruzhen, Yin Jialin and Song Zhenzong in. ”

Qin Yi let the sweat flow on his face, but retreated. Retreating to the door, he just turned around and was stopped by Zhu Pingjin again.

"How is Master Shu doing lately? If his old man has been idle recently, invite him to the palace for a while, and by the way, bring a few people with the Shu family's disciples and disciples. Recently, Ben Shizi couldn't go out, so I happened to chat with his old man. You go for it yourself, bring some gifts, and don't forget the soap. ”
