Chapter 602: Appointed as the Yin of Jiangning Mansion
Storm. "Words*love*first*sever, a heavy rain ushered in a clean and transparent autumn in the entire northern part of the Great Song Dynasty.
The news of Zhu Mian's suicide soon spread throughout Bianjing.
From Zhao Ji to the hundred officials, after learning about this, they were all unusually calm. You must know that this is the red man who used to be around the emperor, Zhu Mian, who is in power in the south of the Yangtze River! Zhao Ji and Baiguan are so calm, it's really a little weird.
But when you think about it, when a damned person finally dies, no matter how prominent he once was, it doesn't make people feel too much nostalgia. Because there are always a million reasons to damn people.
For Zhu Mian's death, the imperial court not only brushed it aside, but at the end, the old guys in Dongfu were also very shady and ordered the widow of the Zhu family to transport Zhu Mian's body to Suzhou for burial. Suzhou is also about to be captured by Fang La's army, burying Zhu Mian in Suzhou, wouldn't this be for Fang La's army to crush Zhu Mian's bones and scatter ashes!
Even the local people in Suzhou are estimated to secretly scoop a few scoops of dung soup and pour it on Zhu Mian's grave.
Because the Zhu family is too unpopular in Jiangnan.
In short, the imperial court order could not be violated, and the widows of the Zhu family had no choice but to transport Zhu Mian's body to Suzhou for burial. In fact, there is no one in the Zhu family, Zhu Wen was beheaded by Wu Zhi, Zhu Chong was killed by Fang Lajun, and Zhu Mian had no heirs. This death of the Zhu family is considered to be overwhelming.
The people who took care of Zhu Mian's funeral were just some relatives of the Zhu family. They didn't care if Zhu Mian would be frustrated.
…………
The court's treatment of Zhu Mian was expected by Wu Zhi, but what he didn't expect was that anyone with a discerning eye could see the strangeness of Zhu Mian's death, and Zhu Mian was not the kind of person who would commit suicide by taking poison. He has gone outside Kaifeng, why didn't he resist the decree and enter Beijing, but suddenly committed suicide?
Although there were many suspicions, Zhao Ji did not ask, and none of the officials raised objections, which made Wu Zhi a little surprised.
In fact, Wu Zhi didn't have to be surprised, because many shrewd ministers had already guessed that Zhu Mian's death definitely had something to do with Wu Zhi, and Wu Zhi couldn't hide it from someone who followed Lord Lan out of Beijing in disguise that day. However, if there is an objection to Zhu Mian's death, it will definitely be investigated by Kaifeng Mansion at that time, which not only will not find any results at all, but it will also be equivalent to convicting Wu Zhi.
No official is willing to convict Zhu Mian, who should have died a long time ago, for a crime that is in full swing.
Of course, there are more officials who secretly praise Zhu Mian's death, especially those upright Qingliu officials, after hearing the rumors that Zhu Mian was killed by Wu Zhi, they have recently raised heavy gifts and flocked to visit Wu Zhi, to thank Wu Zhi, in order to express their admiration.
And Wu Zhi couldn't help but be ashamed, can this kind of thing be done with great fanfare? Originally, only a small number of officials in the imperial court speculated that Zhu Mian was killed by Wu Zhi, but now it's okay, being troubled by these two goods, I'm afraid the whole world will know that Wu Zhi secretly killed Zhu Mian.
At this time, Wu Zhi's image in the court and the people is about to change.
From the flattering and favored ministers who were blinded by countless people at the beginning, to the glorious image of Wu Zhi, who endured humiliation and burden, was young and promising, and capable ministers and officials, it was not easy to go all the way, and now I am afraid that I will have to add a ruthless label, and I don't know if these images are good or bad.
But whether it's good or bad, at least Wu Zhi now finds that most of the officials in the court are respectful, awe-inspiring and want to please him when they see him, including those officials who usually have nothing to do with Wu Zhi, and they are also scrambling to find an opportunity to make a good impression in front of Wu Zhi.
………
The troops of the Western Army and Wu Song's Qingzhou Army had already arrived outside Bianjing City to assemble.
As expected, the commander of the army square la this time is really Tong Guan, the western army and the Qingzhou army with a total of 150,000 troops will sacrifice the flag three days later, and then go to Jiangnan to pacify the square la against the thieves!
Wu Song came to Bianjing, although the military affairs were urgent, it was still necessary to come to meet the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and this time there were Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, and Yang Zhi who went out with the army, and they also saw Wu Zhi together.
The elder brother and old friend had not seen each other for a long time, and Wu Zhi was naturally full of joy, but after sending Wu Song and the brothers back to the barracks with a full meal and wine, Wu Zhi frowned.
He was worried, worried that Wu Song and they would have an accident this time when they went to pacify Fangla!
Wu Zhi knew in his heart that the time and space he had traveled through was a combination of history and Water Margin, seven points of history, three points of illusory, everything seemed to follow the trajectory of historical development, but it could always be inextricably linked with "Water Margin".
Because of this, Wu Zhi is worried.
In history, Fang La's rebellion was quelled by Tong Guan, but in the Water Margin, it was the Fang La of Liangshan who went to Ping, and when Fang La was pacified, the heroes of Liangshan suffered heavy casualties, Yang Zhilin Chong died in the process of Fang La, and Lu Zhishen was also discouraged in the center and really became a monk.
And Wu Song was seriously injured in the process and lost an arm, and later there was a legend that Wu Song captured Fang La with one arm.
This expedition to Fangla was led by Tong Guan, but by chance, Wu Song, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Lu Zhishen, and these former Liangshan fierce generals also joined it, what would happen in the future Wu Zhi really didn't dare to think, he always felt uneasy in his heart.
After a night of consideration, Wu Zhi finally made up his mind, he couldn't let Wu Song have an accident, and he couldn't let Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, and them have an accident! Yu Qing, these people are all his brothers. Yu Li, Wu Song, they are relieved of the heavy responsibility of recovering Yanyun and defending the Great Song Dynasty!
Therefore, Wu Zhi decided to follow the army to Jiangnan as well, and only if he followed, he could rest assured.
But Wu Zhi is not an official of the Ministry of War, and he does not have any position in the Privy Council, and he has no experience in handling military affairs, so he rashly asked the imperial court to go with the army, even if Zhao Ji will agree, I am afraid that the hundred officials will have a lot of criticism.
However, Wu Zhi had his own way, and the governor of Jiangning Mansion in Jiangnan had already been demoted and removed from his post by the imperial court because of poor deployment, so Wu Zhi took the initiative to ask for transfer to Jiangning to serve as Mansion Yin, and also organized Jiangnan manpower and material resources to support the army to quell the rebellion.
Wu Zhi's request was unanimously supported and appreciated by all officials. You must know that Wu Zhi is now Kaifeng Mansion Yin, although Kaifeng Mansion and Jiangning Mansion are both prefecture-level grades, but Kaifeng Mansion is located in the imperial capital, and Kaifeng Mansion Yin is stronger than Jiangning Mansion Yin in all aspects.
What's more, there is a mess in Jiangnan, and you can't get any oil and water when you go, but you have to take care of a lot of things, and if you are not careful, you will make mistakes, and others are now eager to hide far away, so Jiangning Mansion Yin has been vacant for so long. Wu Zhi took the initiative to request to be transferred to Jiangning Mansion to serve as the governor of the palace, what a high-spirited festival this is!
In the eyes of the hundred officials, Wu Zhi is not only a high-spirited and bright festival, but also a good official who really puts himself in the shoes of the country. Because of the turmoil and the collapse of people's livelihood in Jiangnan, it is not as good as Wu Zhi to cover any official in the past. Because Wu Zhi is not only a capable minister, but also started in business, and he has the Shandong Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in the world, and the richest Da Song Bank in the world!
If Wu Zhi goes to Jiangnan to serve as the governor of Jiangning Prefecture, he will be able to quickly mobilize the power of chambers of commerce and banks to help the areas in Jiangnan that have not yet fallen to quickly restore people's livelihood.
Zhongshu approved Wu Zhi's application as soon as possible, but he met resistance to Zhao Ji's side, Zhao Ji twisted and pinched, and after a period of bitter questioning from Wu Zhi and Baiguan, he euphemistically said that he would not let Wu Zhi go to Jiangnan because after Wu Zhi left Bianjing, no one played cards with him and no one played with him, and life would be less fun.........
The hundred officials were embarrassed, and explained to Zhao Ji bitterly that sending Wu Zhi to Jiangning was an expedient measure in wartime, and when the chaos in Jiangnan was pacified, Wu Zhi would follow the army back to Kaifeng to continue to serve as the governor of Kaifeng.
This is also what Wu Zhi means, Kaifeng Mansion Yin is so fat, Wu Zhi will not give up easily.
In this way, Zhao Ji finally reluctantly made a holy decree, appointed Yin Wuzhi of Kaifeng Mansion to concurrently serve as Yin of Jiangning Mansion, and led the army to Jiangnan with the rank of squire to Jiangnan to lead the government affairs of Jiangnan Prefectures to assist in quelling the chaos, and return immediately after the chaos.
Wu Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, this appointment as a local official is not an opportunity to accumulate qualifications, and he can also take the opportunity to integrate Jiangnan officialdom, Jiangnan has been controlled by the Zhu family before, and Wu Zhi's main industries, such as the Great Song Bank and the Chamber of Commerce, have not developed into this beautiful area. This will see who dares to obstruct the development of the Great Song Bank and the Chamber of Commerce in Jiangnan, and this piece of green jade in Jiangnan will inevitably shine brightly under Wu Zhi's hands!
