Section 214: Collective irresponsibility
Xiong Mingyu is half of the Donglin Party, and he has never inquired about the affairs of the eunuchs, so naturally he doesn't know what Ji Qingwen said about Shen Liangzuo, but this matter is very important, and he has to ask.
So Xiong Mingyu said to Ji Qingwen "don't rest", then turned his head back and asked Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison.
The eunuchs and eunuchs are also divided into several factions, for example, he Han Zanzhou is not Wei Zhongxian's party, so he can still be entrusted with the important task of guarding the eunuchs in Nanjing in the process of Emperor Chongzhen's heavy attack on the eunuchs.
However, Han Zanzhou was a eunuch after all, and the Nanjing garrison eunuch was the head of the eunuchs in Jiangnan, so before Shen Liangzuo went to Songjiang Mansion to take up his post, he specially came to visit Han Zanzhou - in fact, Shen Liangzuo is now in Han Zanzhou's mansion.
Han Zanzhou is a real person, and he didn't hide it, and told Xiong Mingyu about it 1510.
After Xiong Mingyu heard this, he didn't discuss it with Han Zanzhou and Liu Kongzhao, and walked up to Ji Qingwen again, and said, "Well, the official has asked, and there is indeed such a thing." In that case, then please ask Lord Ji to go into the city and talk to that Shen Liangzuo. As for these regimental exercises under the lords, they can escort the silk that lives in the tribute and is stationed in the barracks under the city. This official is the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and he can approve a note and ask the defenders outside the city to give up a camp. ”
Ji Qingwen's plan is very simple - no matter who sells face, he has to go to the city.
So he immediately objected: "That's not going to work. Lord Xiong, you also know that the world is not very peaceful now, and if there is any mistake in so many tribute silks, you can't bear this responsibility, and I can't bear this responsibility! ”
Xiong Mingyu heard that there was really some truth, so he said: "Then this official ordered to transfer 1,000 elite soldiers in Nanjing City to escort these silks into the city, and put the silk in the yamen of the military department. ”
Ji Qingwen shook his head, with a somewhat teasing smile, and said: "Lord Xiong is well versed in military affairs, and he must know that the current military discipline of being a soldier is getting worse and worse. I am not afraid that adults will be surprised, and the officers and soldiers will look at those officers and soldiers, which are more hateful than ordinary thieves. What's more, these soldiers are rough and dirty, and the lower officials are afraid that when they escort the silk, they will damage these tributes to the saints! ”
Ji Qingwen's words are also reasonable, so that Xiong Mingyu has no way to refute them.
So the old bureaucrat decided to use the stunt he had successfully cultivated in the Ming officialdom for so many years - collective responsibility.
The so-called "collective responsibility" means "collective responsibility".
In order to make a decision, a large number of officials are brought together to discuss, and when the time comes, everyone has a share in the credit, and if a mistake is made, it is impossible for everyone to hold it accountable
political wisdom too.
I saw Xiong Mingyu retreat to his own phalanx, and discussed and compromised with Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, and Liu Kongzhao, the commander of the army, for a while, and finally came up with a compromise plan - all 1,000 people from Ji Qingwen's department entered Beijing, the number of people was too much, and a hundred men and horses could be arranged to enter the city to escort you to pay tribute, while the remaining 900 people were stationed under the city.
Ji Qingwen also discussed with Li Yan and Li Yuanyin, and decided to bargain on the number of people, and finally reached such a plan: 200 people entered the city, and 800 people stayed outside the city.
This is a plan that is acceptable to all parties, and Xiong Mingyu also nodded and agreed.
So Ji Qingwen selected a team of 200 people in the training of the 1,000 townships of the department, escorted ten carts loaded with 300 horses of silk, and entered Nanjing City through Tongji Gate.
But at this time, Ji Qingwen suddenly thought of something, so he signaled his soldiers to stop their actions, and he stepped forward and said to Xiong Mingyu: "Lord Xiong, remember that Lord Fang Cai has removed General Yang Zhan from his position. But now that the misunderstanding has been clarified, how about asking Lord Xiong to take back his fate? ”
Xiong Mingyu actually knew that he had just made a mistake to blame people, but although he was a dignified Nanjing military secretary, although he was not as good as the emperor's words, he couldn't face a martial artist who would change his orders like this, otherwise how could he save face?
So Xiong Mingyu gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Ji, you seem to be too lenient, right?" The appointment and dismissal of the garrison generals of Nanjing City is the scope of the officer's duties, whether it is appointed or dismissed, the official naturally has the reason of the official, and please do not interfere with Lord Ji. ”
Yang Zhan is the person that Ji Qingwen intends to entrap, of course he will not be sent away because of Xiong Mingyu's light and clever words, so Ji Qingwen said again: "Lord Xiong, this matter started because of the lower official, the lower official will accompany you first, please Lord Xiong look at the face of the lower official, take back the order, and let General Yang reinstate the officer!" ”
Xiong Mingyu sighed in his heart: Hmph, you are a little five-grade miscellaneous official, how many catties and taels of face can you have?
He thought so in his heart, but there was another high-sounding statement in his mouth: "Lord Ji, this matter has been decided. As you said, now the military discipline of the Nanjing garrison is too poor, and this official just takes this opportunity to rectify and rectify, so he starts with Yang Zhan. ”
Ji Qingwen tore up and quarreled with others, and liked to refute his opponent with his opponent's words the most, but now it was finally his opponent's turn to refute himself with his own words, which made him speechless, and quickly turned his head to consult Li Yan.
Li Yan was also very dissatisfied with Xiong Mingyu's arrogant and self-righteous attitude, so he whispered a few words in Ji Qingwen's ear and came up with an idea.
Li Yuanyin listened to it on the side, and hurriedly said: "My lord, this idea is not good, wouldn't this be in charge of the city guard of Nanjing."
Have all the three adults offended? ”
"If you are offended, you are offended, what's the big deal? Today I want to offend and offend these stupid officials! ”
After saying that, Ji Qingwen ordered loudly: "Brothers, show some prestige, let's show those officials a banner!" ”
With an order, a thousand soldiers under Ji Qingwen immediately lined up, and a few sergeants who specialized in protecting the flag carefully took out a bright yellow flag from a big car and fluttered it high, revealing the three half-foot square characters "Ming Wu Army" embroidered with scarlet silk thread on the flag!
This flag is specially arranged by Ji Qingwen to be made by the most exquisite craftsmen of Suzhou weaving yamen, using the best materials, which is more eye-catching than the original "Ji" and "Qi" two flags.
Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, suddenly turned his face for some reason, and was still ignorant, but he heard a hoarse and sharp voice behind him: "Your Majesty!" ”
It turned out that Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, saw Ji Qingwen's banner from afar, and involuntarily knelt on the ground - he Han Zanzhou was not a eunuch in the palace, but a eunuch who served Zhu Youzhen, who was not Emperor Chongzhen, in the "Xinwang Mansion", and he was very familiar with Zhu Youzhen's thick and mellow characters.
Therefore, he saw the words "Ming Wujun" on the Ming and Huang banners fluttering in the wind from a distance, and his legs were weak in fright, and he immediately knelt down.
Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and Liu Kongzhao, the commander of the military department, saw it, and quickly asked about the situation, although they were not happy, they could only kneel down and shout: "Your Majesty!" ”
The soldiers they brought out from Nanjing City already knelt on the ground with the three chief officials, so naturally they couldn't stand, and they all knelt on the ground, and repeated like a parrot: "Your Majesty! ”
Ji Qingwen looked at the group of black pressed heads kneeling on the ground with his hands behind his back, and he was indescribably proud in his heart, and only said after a while: "Everyone, please get up!" ”
Xiong Mingyu, Han Zanzhou, Liu Kongzhao and others stood up at this time, and walked to Ji Qingwen in small steps very respectfully, or Xiong Mingyu arched his hand and asked, "Lord Ji, this banner ......?"
Ji Qingwen said with a smile: "My lord is a serious Jinshi, so he is naturally well-informed. The three words 'Ming Wu Army' on this banner are mentioned by the saint himself, and they were exchanged for the lives of a general and more than ten sergeants in the battle of Beijing last year! Lord Xiong, let me ask you, with this banner, can our army enter your Nanjing City? ”
With this military flag handwritten by the emperor, the thousand men and horses of Ji Qingwen's department are not ordinary township brave regimental training, and even the capital can enter and exit at any time, not to mention this Nanjing city.
