Chapter 36 Building a Team
Besides, I was shocked, I don't know what illness Xiao Nier has: "Heartache? Come here, I'll check it out for you. ”
Zhou Dingcheng said with a smile: "Don't check, she is distressed about the silver, I persuaded her for a long time, it's useless." ”
Zhou Dingcheng did not participate in the discussion of the silver reward, although he felt that it was more, but he still felt that it was worth the money, this is an elite guard, with the protection of this guard, and the safety can be guaranteed.
In addition, besides, he was transferred to a real position, his identity was different, and he became a real member of the court, so it can be said that except for the emperor, it is difficult for ordinary people to move him.
Previously, they were still a little worried that Shuntian Mansion would use the last assassination incident to deal with it, but now it is estimated that Shuntian Mansion has completely died down, and they have no right to move a Jinyi Guard commander.
"I know that the silver is not important, but the ten thousand taels of silver are gone all of a sudden, and I still feel uncomfortable. This is 10,000 taels of silver, and it takes a lot of time for Sister Zuo to make such a large amount of silver in business, am I a loser. Xiao Nier clutched her chest.
"You really are, too." And laughed. He didn't expect Xiao Nier to feel sorry for the silver.
"There is a lot of silver, even if you throw it away, it's better than being caught in prison, and there are these people who guard the home, so let's rest assured when we come out and go in." Besides.
"That's what I said, and she just wouldn't listen." Zhou Dingcheng echoed.
"Well, I feel a lot better to hear you say that. By the way, I didn't use your silver ticket, it was the money I saved in the past two years. All at once it was thrown out. Xiao Nier said.
Besides, he smiled: "It turned out that it was because of spending his own money, no wonder he was distressed." ”
"No, I'm not because of that." Xiao Nier hurriedly argued.
"Where did you get so much money? Oh, it's the monthly money that the Marquis of Wucheng gave to the two of you. ”
"Yes, now I give it every month, and I've been saving it for no use."
Besides, he and Xiao Nier have monthly money every month in the Wucheng Hou Mansion, and the two of them add up to about 8,000 taels of silver per year, which is much higher than the salary of this commander, and these silver are all collected by Xiao Nier, where there is no flower in Nanjing, it is useless in Beijing, but now it comes in handy.
Besides, he gave Xiao Nier a silver ticket of 50,000 taels of silver for emergency use, and asked him to use the silver in the morning, but he didn't expect Xiao Nier to take out all her own silver, and she was distressed like this.
Zhou Dingcheng said with a straight face: "I didn't ask you to come in to say this, but I don't understand, is the emperor doing this because of the Marquis of Wucheng, or does he have another deep meaning?" In addition, now that the wind is rising outside, it is not the time for you to be promoted to the rank of knight, the emperor should know, why did he do it deliberately? ”
Besides, he thought about it and said, "The emperor may not want to boil the frog in warm water, but want to stir-fry." If you want to stir-fry, of course, you have to increase the heat. ”
He was not surprised by this transfer, on the contrary, he felt worried. Be more vigilant about the emperor's true intentions.
"Stir-fry? Stir up you? Xiao Nier panicked again.
"No, I mean the current situation." Besides, he replied simply. I can't explain this in a sentence or two, and I can't explain it completely at all.
"Oh, it's not just a stir-fry. By the way, there are so many people, how can we eat at noon, do we have to hire a few cooks and some servants? Xiao Nier's head was big again when she thought of this.
"Don't worry about them, they can take care of their own affairs, and they bring their own food, drink, and lazar. They also cook their own meals, but they have to occupy some of our houses, and there are many empty houses anyway, enough for them to set up camp. Besides.
"That's okay, it's just that there are so many people all at once, it's a little weird." Xiao Nier smiled wryly.
"This is also a good thing, when we go out in the future, there are these brocade guards around to protect us, and ordinary people can't approach us." Zhou Ding became enlightened.
"That's right, they're all scared away, where are there still people." Xiao Nier thought that she was most willing to go shopping, and then thought about a group of tigers and wolves like guards clustered in front and behind, that scene would be beautiful when you think about it, mighty but mighty, it is estimated that not to mention that passers-by are extinct, even shops have to close. How do you go around this street?
"Do you think the emperor will have this thought?" Zhou Dingcheng kept frowning and thinking, and suddenly asked.
"What's in your mind?"
Besides, he knew that Zhou Dingcheng was an expert in court affairs, so he always attached great importance to his ideas.
"Has the emperor finished cleaning up the inner court, and now he wants to strengthen the Jinyi Guard, and then carry out a big purge of the outer court? After all, most of the previous outer court was still at the bottom of the first dynasty. "Zhou Ding became enlightened.
Besides, he frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Impossible, if the emperor really thinks so, it is just a matter of thinking, the matter of the inner court and the Jinyi guard, the emperor can do whatever he wants, and the outer court is not a place where the emperor alone has the final say." If the original troika does not fall apart, Gao, Zhang, and Chen can still be as united as they used to deal with Yan Song, it is estimated that there is still a glimmer of possibility, now that the troika is falling apart, and Gao Xiang and Zhang Xiang are all separated from morality, who else can the emperor rely on to clean up the outer court? Besides, these people in the outer court are by no means easy to mess with, and they are not something that one or two scholars can handle. ”
"Then what is the reason for the emperor's move?" Zhou Dingcheng fell into hard thinking.
He has never been a person who does mental work, but now he has to do it, first, no one knows more about the palace struggle than him, and second, this matter may be related to the life of the family and his family, and he can't just go with the flow, so he doesn't know how he will die in the end.
"Could it be...... Second Brother Zhao is really right? Besides, he was not thinking about it now, but he had been thinking about all kinds of possibilities since before he decided to go to the book.
He treats the whole situation as a game of chess, that is, the game between him and the emperor.
Of course, it is too arrogant to play chess with the emperor, but besides, this research is not really about winning, but about studying the emperor's true mind, so that he can know when he can advance, how to retreat, and how to use various forces to achieve his goals.
Originally, he wanted to use the Jingfang Najia system the most, but he couldn't set the settings and variables in it at all, so he couldn't deduce it.
He once used the Najia system to diagnose Emperor Jiajing's illness in the air, which proved to be effective, but it was not possible to use it to deduce the situation, because he knew too little about the political situation, and he was not as thoughtful as his understanding of the human body. For the human body, he can accurately judge only by his pulse and even his face and voice, and in the end, he can even use handwriting to deduce the physical condition of the other party, and the accuracy is also amazingly high.
It's not that Jingfang's Najia system is not applicable, but that he is not a politician and lacks a comprehensive and systematic understanding of the political arena, so of course he can't substitute the entire political arena into the Najia system, and he can't calculate it.
Zhou Dingcheng was shocked and said: "Zhao Yang? You mean......"
He didn't continue, afraid that the partition wall had ears, and now there are a bunch of people in the courtyard, who knows if there are people with special functions in it, and Jinyiwei is originally a place where strange people gather.
"Yes, it is possible that the emperor really prepared for that incident." Besides, he nodded.
What the two of them said was the first time Zhao Yang saw him, and revealed to him that the emperor wanted to set up an institution to be fully responsible for the overseas trade of the imperial court, this institution should be lower than the first order of the sixth department, but it could not be too low, and the level of the commander of the Jinyi guard was just right. Did the emperor really grant the position of commander of the Jinyi Guard because of this?
Moreover, after the book, the emperor did not express his position for a long time, and he had doubts about the credibility of Zhao Yang's words, but judging from today's incident, it seems that there are some possibilities.
Since he wants to establish an organization, of course, he must build a team, and now the emperor may send him the first team first, in the name of personal guards.
"You know, the commander has to take turns in the inner court, that is to say, to be able to get close to the emperor, such a person must be innocent in history, find out the eight generations of ancestors, the emperor is now giving you a real position, it is impossible not to check your life history in detail, which shows that the emperor may know more about you than yourself." Zhou Dingcheng thought of another bad place.
If the ancestors of the state are strictly investigated for several generations, the relationship between the state family and the Qinwang faction cannot be hidden. If it is found that these are still reused, it is really difficult to say whether this reuse is a deadly trap.
"What are you talking about? I can't understand a word. Xiao Nier was confused.
"Anyway, I'm afraid we're really going to have to do both." Zhou Dingcheng said worriedly.
"You have to be prepared for both. By the way, where did Xiaojun, the bastard, really dig a hole in the snow, right? "Besides, I suddenly thought of Xiaojun.
Xiaojun has always regretted that he didn't dig a secret passage to the outside of the city in the fall, and he didn't take it seriously with Zhou Dingcheng, anyway, this guy talks far more than he does, but it's a little strange that he hasn't seen his shadow for so many days.
"I'll go see him tomorrow and find out what he's up to." Zhou Dingcheng said with a smile.
As he was saying this, suddenly there was a loud shout outside: "What person? ”
"Bold, how dare you trespass into a private house?"
Then there was the sound of objects falling to the ground such as "ouch, plop".
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Xiao Nier's hands and feet were cold in an instant, her face was bloodless, her hands covered her heart, and she almost collapsed.
It's not that she's timid, she's been shocked for half a day, and everything that happened is unexpected, no matter how big her heart is, no matter how big her nerves are, she can't stand it.
"It's okay, it's going to be fine."
Besides, I don't know what's going on outside, it seems that someone broke into his mansion, could it be that the assassin is here again, but the assassin shouldn't be this style?
"I'll go out and have a look, don't go out yet. Why don't you go to the inner house and hide for a while? Zhou Dingcheng hurriedly said.
At this moment, two more coquettish sounds were heard outside, followed by more plopping sounds, which sounded as if rows of objects had been pushed to the ground.
"They?" Moreover, the three of them shouted in surprise.
