Chapter 190: The Lonely Yamen is in trouble
As the emperor's pro-army, the functions of the Jinyi Guard are: to drive the guards directly, inspect and arrest.
In the beginning, the Jinyi Guard was no different from the traditional Praetorian Guard, responsible for the guards, the display of honor guards, and accompanying the emperor on his parade.
Among them, the more famous is the "Great Han General". Although these people are called "generals", they are actually only responsible for standing in the palace, delivering the emperor's orders, and also doing security work, to put it bluntly, they are the honor guard in the palace hall.
Of course, these "piles" are not idle people, they are generally tall and big, tigers and bears, and they are full of energy, with a loud voice, which is quite majestic from the outside, and has a certain deterrent effect on people who do not know the details.
And what really makes Jinyiwei's name passed on to future generations, but what makes people talk about it is the latter function, which is to patrol and arrest. With this function, Jinyiwei is equivalent to the emperor's personal police, because it is a private surname, so in principle, as long as the emperor is willing, Jinyiwei can review any case, not just a major case of rebellion.
In this way, for the civil officials, the brocade guard became a knife hanging over their heads. Because everything in Jinyiwei is readable, from investigation to arrest, from interrogation to detention, it is completely out of the control of the court, so there is no rule that the doctor cannot be punished, which makes them hate it deeply.
The reason why it can deter civil officials is because of the surname of Jinyiwei's reading ability, and in order to maintain his reading ability, Jinyiwei, who is responsible for patrolling and arresting, is divided into two parts, namely the North and South Zhenfu Division.
Qian Ning is a bit weird in terms of aesthetics, but as a person who started from the grassroots level and rose to the second-in-command position, he is very clear about the internal affairs of Jinyiwei. On the way to Nanzhen Fusi, he introduced the situation of Jinyiwei to Xie Hong in detail.
According to Xie Hong's understanding, the Beizhen Fusi is equivalent to the action department, and they do the work of arrest and torture.
And the Nanzhen Fusi is more like a logistics department set up to maintain the reading power of Jinyiwei, so there is an ordnance department in it. In addition to logistics work, the Nanzhen Fuji is also responsible for internal law and military discipline, which is equivalent to the internal affairs department. In a system of relative reading power, according to the regulations, the power of Nanzhen Fusi is also quite large.
But in fact, by the time of the Hongzhi period, the Nanzhen Fusi had already existed in name only, because with the East Factory that supervised Jinyiwei, the internal affairs responsibilities of the Nanzhen Fusi naturally ceased to exist.
The Ordnance Division was abandoned even earlier, since the Tumu Fort, the Twelve Guards have been reduced to a guard of honor and no longer exist as a military unit, and the same is true for the Jinyi Guard. Since it is no longer involved in the military, the Ordnance Department naturally no longer pays attention, anyway, when Jinyi Wei arrests people, most of them just need to show their identities, they don't need to use force, and naturally they don't need any sharp weapons.
When they went to Xuanfu, the reason why Qian Ning and his gang were equipped with crossbows was just because they needed to protect Zhengde, otherwise, they would only bring a knife when they went out.
"It's a logistics department in a system that doesn't require logistics?" When he saw the gate of Nanzhen Fusi, Qian Ning also finished the introduction, and Xie Hong made a summary.
"Brother Xie is really a scholar, and his speech is incisive, much stronger than ours." Qian Ning's kung fu is also good, and he praised Xie Hong when he was free.
"Now there are some scribes left here, taking care of some documents and other things, in fact, Brother Xie, you can come and take a look, but you don't have to worry about it, Long live Lord must just want to seal the brother's official position, your mind is better in the palace." As long as the saint is not declining, with the great talent of the Xie brothers, not to mention the admiral of Jinyiwei, even if it is a marquis and a prime minister. ”
Xie Hong didn't know if it was his own delusion, he felt that after sending off the show girl, Qian Ning was more enthusiastic than when he first came in the morning, and what he said was a little more sincere.
He nodded noncommittally and walked into the Nanzhen Fusi.
With Liu Jin's reminder, Xie Hongben didn't have much expectations, so after listening to Qian Ning's introduction, he couldn't talk about being disappointed. If it's a too sought-after position, I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble to sit firmly, but now it's better, anyway, to open a workshop, what you need is the three things you mentioned with Zhengde yesterday.
Entering the gate, Xie Hong nodded, although it is a yamen that is about to be abandoned, the place here is still quite large, and the surrounding high walls also provide security surnames and secret surnames. As long as there are a few more people, it will not be a big problem.
The problem of money, Zhengde said that it would be solved, and I don't know how the parliament is today, it is estimated that it is very difficult, but since Zhengde is full of confidence, he will have some hope in the future, if Zhengde's side is not good, it will be better to think of other ways. I survived all the difficulties when I first crossed, and now that I have the emperor as a backer, are you afraid that there is no way?
"Lord Qian, why do you have time to come here today? Don't say that you should notify the brothers in advance, so as to welcome your old driver. ”
When I came, I passed by the yamen of the Fusi in Beizhen, which was called a heavily guarded place, and when I saw it from afar, I could feel a burst of murderous atmosphere. But here in Nanzhen Fusi, it was like an empty house, Xie Hong and the others walked in for a long time, and only then did a brocade guard dressed in a thousand households greet him, this person is a clever person, and he bowed down to Qian Ning from afar.
Xie Hong took a look at it, but saw that this person was also a little blessed, and he looked kind, although he was not as white and fat as Gu Dayong, but he had a round face, and he looked harmless to humans and animals.
"Jiang Song, you are all about to become a mass grave here, and it took me so long to see you as a living person." Qian Ning didn't care much about this person, nodding was a return gift, and when he joked, he didn't say very politely.
Jiang Song was not angry, nodded his head, and said: "What Lord Qian said is that we are indeed deserted here, and besides, today, Beizhen Fusi is busy with affairs, and he has transferred people to help, so it is even more deserted." Except for the small ones who were on duty here, there were only a few scribes in the back. ”
"Hmph, it must be Shi Wenyi's ghost again, this guy is really unscrupulous in order to cling to Zhang Xiu." Qian Ning listened to Jiang Song's words, but scolded hatefully.
Dismounted? It's not new, but it's effective, at least to dry yourself out. Xie Hong couldn't help sneering, just like he was worried about before, there was no one under him, and no matter how big the official was, it was useless.
"This is Lord Xie Hongxie, but the commander of the Long Live Lord, and he will be the head of the Nanzhen Fusi in the future, Jiang Song, haven't you come to see Lord Xie?" scolded, Qian Ning didn't say much, Shi Wenyi was at the same level as him, and it didn't hurt to scold a few words, but Zhang Xiu, the commander, he still couldn't afford to provoke him, so he turned to introduce Xie Honglai.
"Jiang Song, a small brocade cloth, has seen Lord Xie." The yamen is deserted, but he is always under the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei, Jiang Song's news is quite well-informed, and he also knows that the Tongzhi who is going to take office today is the first celebrity before the emperor drives. At first, he didn't dare to admit it, but after listening to Qian Ning's words, he didn't hesitate, and hurriedly greeted him, just exclaiming in his heart: It's better to see than to hear, this Lord Xie is a little too young.
"You're the one in charge of Nanzhen's Fu Division?" Xie Hong asked lightly.
Xie Hong asked casually, but Jiang Song didn't dare to slack off, and bowed down and responded: "Nanzhen Fusi is Shi Tongzhi's master, but Shi Tongzhi is rarely there, and there is no business here, so it is often taken care of by villains." He was also surprised in his heart, this Lord Xie was so young, but he didn't want to be quite majestic, could it be that he was the queen of a big family?
"It's Shi Tongzhi who transferred people away?" Shi Wenyi is Zhang Xiu's cronies, and Qian Ning also mentioned it when he was just introduced.
"Lord Hui, that's exactly the case." Hearing Xie Hong's tone, it didn't seem like he was going to be kind, Jiang Song's head also began to sweat, on one side was the admiral in brocade, and on the other side was the royal celebrity, he couldn't afford to offend either of them. How else to say that immortals always suffer when they fight? The little people are the saddest.
"Jiang Qianhu, if you go and tell me, it will be the official's order: Whoever belongs to my Nanzhen Fusi must come to see the official in a moment's time, before the hour. If there is one who does not come, the official will only be under his jurisdiction and there will be no one under his jurisdiction. ”
Xie Hong's voice was not high, but the meaning of his words made Jiang Song's heart palpitate, if he didn't come, he would be opened? Although this adult is young, he is very decisive in killing, and in a single sentence, he decided the fate of many people, and he didn't even blink an eye.
"Did you hear the official's words clearly? A quarter of an hour, the clock from now on. Jiang Song hesitated slightly, and Xie Hong said coldly.
"Yes, yes, the little one will go." Jiang Song was shocked, wiped his cold sweat, and hurried away. No matter what other people choose, he, the messenger, must spread the word, or he will be offended at both ends.
This young master is the first celebrity before the holy drive, and it is not easy to mess with this momentum, Jinyiwei is personally led by the emperor, with his identity, what is the point of opening a thousand households? No matter what the final victory or defeat of him and Admiral Zhang, but if anyone is stupidly caught in the middle, he will definitely be crushed, Jiang Song is a smart person, so he doesn't do such stupid things.
The two yamen belong to the same Jinyi Guard, and the distance is not far, Jiang Song arrived at Beizhen Fusi in a short time.
said that it was because there were many affairs, so he transferred people to help, but Jiang Song also knew in his heart that it was nonsense. If Jin Yiwei is busy, there must be a lot of cases, but since Admiral Zhang and the ministers got together, where are there so many cases, and the idle boredom is almost the same, what is there to be busy?
Entering the yamen, what he saw along the way confirmed this conjecture, the outside looked heavily guarded, but the inside was actually very relaxed, a cluster in the east, a group in the west, doing everything, but there was no busy business.
"Hahaha, the surname Xie is really worthy of his name as the first courtier, and it really makes people laugh, does he know how many people there are in Nanzhen Fusi? Is it still outdated, and all of them are reformed? After listening to Jiang Song's briefing, Shi Wenyi laughed and didn't take Xie Hong's words to heart at all.
"You go and pass the word to them, and if you want to go, you can go, but if you go to the South Town Fu Division, don't think about entering the Yamen of the North Town Fu Division in the future." Seeing that Jiang Song's expression was a little anxious, Shi Wenyi sneered again: "At that time, there will be no one in the yamen, and the official will see what his expression is, hum." ”
Sure enough, I was caught in the middle, how can this be good? Jiang Song hesitated to inform his colleagues, and sure enough, no one was willing to go, seeing that he seemed to want to go back, and those who knew him were also persuaded: "Brother Jiang, what are you going back for?" Lord Shi has spoken, if he really goes back, he will not be able to enter the Beizhen Fusi in the future, but he is afraid that he may not be able to get the military salary. ”
"But then Lord Xie is not easy to mess with?" Jiang Song also expressed his concerns.
"Admiral Zhang is even praised by Liu Gelao, even the emperor has to be a little scrupulous, let alone a little courtier? Maybe the emperor was also tired of it, so he sent him away, otherwise how could he go to Nanzhen Fusi to perform his duties? If he was just promoted, why did he go to office with such fanfare? Brother Jiang, you have to think twice. ”
Jiang Song was in a dilemma, and finally sighed, the little people in the yamen are really difficult to mix.
