When the small court meeting of Wenhua Hall ended and returned to the Qianqing Palace, it was already noon, but Zhu Daming could not rest there, and there were still some people to summon. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

During the Ming Dynasty, all important appointments, such as the Qin Messenger and the Governor, had to take office after the appointment, and before leaving, they had to meet the emperor again and listen to some specific arrangements of the emperor.

Lu Shanji was appointed as the minister of the Qincha, specially inspected and rectified the salt transportation envoys in Shandong, Lianghuai and Zhejiang, and cleared the way for the resumption of the opening of the Chinese law.

Zhu Daming also wants to see him again and tell him what he thinks.

Since it was time for lunch, Zhu Daming asked Wang Chengen to arrange lunch in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and sent an edict to Sun Chengzong, who had just returned to the military aircraft, and Lu Shanji, who was waiting at the military aircraft, to come over to eat together.

After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, the amount of money in the palace was reduced again and again, and life was very hard.

Now that Zhu Daming has been replaced, he has no need for luxury, and continues to keep the original meal arrangement.

Of course, the emperor's lunch, no matter how simple, was better than that of ordinary people.

According to Zhu Daming's instructions, Wang Chengen, in accordance with the emperor's custom, arranged four dishes, one soup, one bowl and two rice for lunch.

The lunch prepared for Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji was, of course, the same.

When these two people came to the Qianqing Palace, they were moved to see that the emperor's lunch was only four dishes and one soup, and it was exactly the same as the one arranged for them.

Zhu Daming exempted them from etiquette and said: "I don't have any special requirements for food, it's just a common meal, and I hope it can also meet your taste." Today, I am tired from the court, so I will eat first and then talk after dinner. ”

After the two of them thanked them, they were relieved to see that the emperor did not treat them as outsiders at all, and had already started to eat by himself, and then sat down to eat.

Not long after, the emperor finished eating, and the two also stopped chopsticks.

Wang Chengen instructed the chamberlain to remove the food and serve tea and rinse his mouth to the emperor, Sun Chengzong, and Lu Shanji.

After rinsing his mouth, Zhu Daming put down the teacup and said, "Lu Aiqing, you are leaving Beijing today, how are the preparations to be made?" What's the difficulty? What can be solved for you, I will solve it now. ”

Lu Shanji immediately replied: "The minister has two things to report to His Majesty, one is that the minister wants to take Wang Zegu with him, Wang Zegu was born in the household department, and he is proficient in accounts, which will be of great help to the minister to sort out the salt administration."

"Second, sorting out the salt policy involves many interests, and after the minister leaves Beijing, if the official of the court or the officials related to the interests of the salt affairs are impeached, and the minister is outside, he will not be able to defend himself......"

As soon as he said this, Zhu Daming interrupted him and said, "I know what you want to say." Wang Zegu, you can take it with you as your assistant. In addition, I will also have the Brocade Guard send personnel to follow you and ensure your safety.

"As for the problem you are worried about, I will give you the right to perform the secret folding, and the Jinyi Wei and Dongchang will send it directly to me. During the period of sorting out the salt administration, if you encounter any problems, you can report to me through the secret fold. As for the rumors between the DPRK and China, you don't have to worry, I know what to expect. ”

Seeing that the emperor said this, Lu Shanji was naturally grateful, and knelt down to thank him.

Zhu Daming thought for a while, and then said to Wang Chengen, who was standing on the side: "Go and pass Gong Yonggu over." ”

Soon a little attendant left quickly.

After Gong Yonggu became the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he was really very conscientious, as long as he did not go out of Beijing to do business, he would inevitably go to the Jinyi Guard Yamen every day to be on duty.

Moreover, a person who is from a good background and looks gentle and elegant, in the continuous purge of Jinyiwei, his performance is not much worse than Gao Shiming and others, which is both decisive and ruthless, which is very much in line with Zhu Daming's mind.

When Tian Ergeng was in office, the number of Jinyi guards far exceeded the quota, and there were nearly 60,000 Jinyi guards in key passes all over the world, including hereditary Jinyi guards, and there were also ruffians and hooligans who mixed in through various channels.

After Gong Yonggu understood the emperor's expectations for Jinyiwei, he quickly began to rectify, first continuing to carry out the great purge, rapidly expanding outward from the Beijing Division, and sending the personnel who had meritorious service in the Jinyiwei Great Purge of the Beijing Division, as well as the personnel who had the status of Jinyiwei and later reported to duty, were successively sent to various places to carry out the deep clean-up tasks.

Although Gong Yonggu was not born in the hereditary Jinyi Guard, he was very good at learning, and after taking office, he quickly mastered the know-how of Gao Shiming and others to carry out cleaning, encouraging reporting and exposing layer by layer, and then grabbed a batch and brought out a batch, all the way to the bottom of the school captain and wrestler, the original nearly 60,000 Jinyi Guard team, plus the later supplement, has now dropped to less than 40,000.

Some of them were executed, of course, but most of them were sent to the official mines of the imperial court for mining.

At the same time, in accordance with the emperor's will, the Espionage Department and the Anti-Traitor Department were quickly added, and the children of the Jinyi Wei family who were brave, resourceful and ambitious, and had a good family were selected and sent to Liaodong, Mongolia and northern Shaanxi in the name of employment, business, and even fugitive, to carry out intelligence collection and infiltration tasks.

All of this made Zhu Daming very satisfied with Gong Yonggu's execution.

The yamen of the Jinyi Guard's command envoy was not far from the noon gate, and after only a short while, Gong Yonggu came in a hurry.

After Gong Yonggu saluted, Zhu Daming said to him: "I ordered Lu Shanji to be the minister of the salt patrol imperial Shi Qincha, and he will leave Beijing today and go to Lianghuai and other places to rectify the salt administration. The Jinyi Guard should send someone to accompany a team of people and horses, and Lu Shanji will follow the actions of the Jinyi Guard personnel during the period of sorting out the salt administration, and he must unconditionally obey Lu Shanji's command. Gong Yonggu bowed to the order.

Zhu Daming said again: "What are the positions of Sun Chan and Sun Jian in Jinyiwei now? ”

Sun Chan and Sun Key, both sons of Sun Chengzong, ranked third and fifth respectively, and the purge of the Jingshi Jinyi Wei Yamen was too serious, and they were the first to fill in the group of personnel with hereditary Jinyi Wei positions, and they were all assigned corresponding functions.

Besides, they are all the sons of Sun Chengzong, the most trusted cabinet minister in front of the emperor today, Gong Yonggu of course looks at them differently and takes special care of them.

After listening to the emperor's question, Gong Yonggu immediately replied: "Your Majesty, Sun Zhan is now serving as the commander of the Jinyi Guard's Command and Envoy Yamen, and Sun Jian has asked himself to leave Beijing to take up his post, and now he is the commander of the Thousand Households in Zhangjiakou. ”

When Zhu Daming heard this, he turned his head to Sun Chengzong and said, "Sun Aiqing, I want to let either Sun Chan or Sun Jian follow Lu Qing to leave Beijing to take up his post, which one do you think is appropriate?" ”

Only then did everyone understand that this was what the emperor meant.

Sun Chengzong was even more moved, on this matter, the emperor still respected his opinion, which was really beyond his expectations.

He is more satisfied with his sons, he continues to study if he is successful, and he chooses to practice martial arts if he fails to study, and now he also has an actual job in Jinyiwei, it can be said that all the people are favored by the court, and he can only do his best, and then die.

"The third son of the minister, Sun Chan, has been kind to Lord Lu since he was a child, although he is mediocre, but he is the most obedient. As for who to use, please ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment. Sun Chengzong bowed and said. Although no answer is given, the answer is already obvious.

Zhu Daming smiled, turned back to Gong Yonggu and said, "In this case, Jinyiwei sent Sun Zhan to select a hundred capable people and horses to accompany Lu Aiqing to Beijing on business." At the same time, he informed Luo Yangxing, Nanzhen Fusi and his Jinyi Wei Thousand Households, and supported Lu Aiqing and his party at any time. ”

In this life, although Luo Yangxing did not become the commander of Jinyiwei, Zhu Daming, who was really unavailable at hand, was recommended by Gong Yonggu, Gao Shiming and others, and let him be the leader of Nanzhen Fusi as the commander of Jinyiwei.

Seeing that Gong Yonggu bowed down to receive the order, Zhu Daming said to Lu Shanji again: "I have granted you the right to perform secret affairs, this matter is only known to the Military Aircraft Department, Jinyiwei and Dongchang and yourself. ”

Lu Shanji was moved in his heart, and immediately got up and knelt down to thank him. It was not until this time that Zhu Daming's summoning activities today were finally over.
