260 - Commander of the capital

Jinyi guard yamen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It is not like other royal pro-army yamen, scattered in the streets and alleys of the capital, but is located close to the main gate of the imperial city Chengtianmen, on the west side of the Thousand Steps Corridor, adjacent to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and across the street from the six departments on the east side.

This is the ruling core of the entire Ming Dynasty except where the emperor is located.

After laying off tens of thousands of people, Jinyiwei has been streamlined and can no longer be streamlined. And Mo Da's control over this place is getting tighter and closer. This made Mo Da, who had only been a gangster and a prisoner in the past, enjoy the pleasure of being in a high position, and at the same time, he also experienced the temptation of greater power.

"Sent to Nanjing?" Mo Da sat behind the big desk in the office, unintentionally flipped through the roster in front of him, and asked, "Do you know, what did the second master send him to Nanjing for?" โ€

The subordinates who stood in front of the big case and reported looked embarrassed, and replied: "Commander, who has the courage to inquire about the affairs of the second master?" I only know that it was sent to Nanjing, and that's it, it was the two brothers we sent to follow. โ€

"Oh? What did they say on their own initiative? Or did you ask? Mo Da's expression was as usual, and he couldn't see a trace of fluctuation.

The subordinates did not doubt him, and replied: "Commander, where will they easily tell the content of the task?" It was your subordinates who knew that you wanted to know about it, so they took the initiative to ask...... Forehead...... Command...... Command...... Commander ......"

"Hmph, you're loyal!" Jumping up from his seat, he reached over the table and grabbed the subordinate by the neck. Mo Da's face was full of cruelty, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's a pity, loyalty is the wrong object!" โ€

The poor subordinate was strangled by the neck across the table, and for a moment, his face was purple and breathless. Until the other party almost gave up struggling, his hands and feet were soft and no longer moving, a trace of coldness flashed in Mo Da's eyes, and he threw the person to the ground fiercely.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Cough...... Ahem...... cough cough cough cough ......"

A brief period of deprivation of oxygen to the brain is followed by a series of violent coughs.

Mo Da stood there coldly, looked at his subordinates, and said with a smile: "Next time, don't make a mistake again." ! โ€

Looking at the backs of his subordinates fleeing in a hurry, Mo Da narrowed his eyes slightly.

The biggest difference between him and Zhang Yang is that Zhang Yang believes in himself, while Mo Da believes in Wei Shui.

How to gain Wei Shui's absolute trust is the first thing in Mo Da's heart. Secretly inquiring about things you shouldn't be asking? Hmph, that's something that Zhang Yang can do. Mo Da felt that he must not be as stupid as Zhang Yang! Otherwise, he will be the next to be kicked out of Beijing.

"Nanjing?" Mo Da read the name softly, and shook his head for a while.

When he thinks of Nanjing, he can't help but think of Zhang Yang.

Wei Shui wants to send two people to escort Jiang Chenghan to Nanjing? Could it be...... Could it be that Zhang Yang's abandoned son is going to be reactivated?

In Mo Da's heart, a strong uneasiness surged uncontrollably.

If it was someone else, no matter who it was, even Pang Xiao, who had also served as the commander of Rumo, Mo Da would not have such a sense of crisis. It's just that Wei Shui is using Zhang Yang, who can make Mo Da jealous!

Could it be that there is something that has not been done well enough recently for Wei Shui to notice? Mo Da thought about it carefully, but finally shook his head, no, he hasn't done anything recently, how can it make Wei Shui feel dissatisfied?

With such a thought rising in his heart, Mo Da didn't want to stay in the Jinyi Guard Yamen for a minute longer. Lisuo packed up his things and hurried back to the broken courtyard where Wei Shui lived.

In the courtyard, Wei Shui was rarely at ease, and he was actually watering a bush of weeds in the corner.

Mo Da walked over with light steps, but when he was still about five steps away from Wei Shui, he was keenly noticed by Wei Shui.

"Why did you come back so early today?" Wei Shui squatted on the ground and asked without looking back.

Mo Da stopped and said, "You just transferred two people from your subordinates, and in a hurry, your subordinates can't carefully select them, for fear that you won't be able to use them well." Come to think of it, come back and see for yourself. โ€

"Well, that's right." Wei Shui, who was facing away from the ink, squinted his eyes slightly, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "Is it really just to see if I use it smoothly?" โ€

Wei Shui said as he stood up. Maybe it was because he had been squatting for a long time, his feet were numb, and he couldn't stand steadily, Mo Da saw his body shake, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, but was lightly pushed away by Wei Shui.

"What's the matter, see what you scare people into?"

This blame for no reason made Mo Da stunned. When did he scare people?

Wei Shui didn't hear a response, turned his head to look at him, and said, "What?" It's just something you just did, and you don't even remember? โ€

Mo Da's heart froze, and he suddenly reacted.

"Second master, what are you talking about......"

Mo Da's words had just come out when he was stopped by Wei Shui waving his hand, "It's good to know, don't be so grumpy in the future." Follow you to do things, they all want to make a lot of money and live a good life. People are also for your good, so why bother? Such a good subordinate is rare! โ€

Every time Wei Shui said a word, Mo Da's heart sank a little. By the time he finished speaking, Moda's back was already soaked with sweat.

What happened just now, Wei Shui already knew? What does this mean? By his side, there are nails inserted by Wei Shui. And not only that, but there is no need to shy away from you. It's really in front of you, and I'll show you enough!

Maybe...... That person was sent by Wei Shui to test him?

Mo Da's eyes changed unconsciously, and he didn't even notice that Wei Shui didn't know when, he had already turned around and stared at him.

"I'm not that bored yet." Wei Shui seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "Come in, there is something for you to do." โ€

It was difficult for Mo Da to describe his current mood, he felt that no matter what he wanted to do, he was under Wei Shui's eyes. Although he was not worried about such a gaze. But the feeling of being stared at all the time can really make people feel a little uncomfortable.

When Wei Shui entered the house, he found a chair near the door and sat down, and when he saw Mo Da wandering at the door, he called out to him, "What's wrong?" Come in! I was fine when I first met you, why is it a little wooden now? You don't have something going on, do you? โ€

Mo Da knew that he was out of shape, so he hurriedly walked in, stood beside Wei Shui, lowered his head, and said softly: "Second master, my subordinates just lost their minds for a while, and please don't blame the second master." โ€

"Distracted? Oh, got it. Wei Shui nodded, raised his head, and said thoughtfully, "Aren't you still thinking about what I just said?" You're really idle enough, you also have time to think about such a big thing? Let me tell you, isn't that guy who was choked by your neck just now on duty today? Maybe it's because I'm fine, right? I'm going to report to you. When he asked the two men, I saw them from afar. As for your tantrums...... He was quite careful when he first came back, but the blind man could see the few black and dark finger marks on his neck, right? Thinking about it, what are you thinking about all day long? With your spare time, help me with most of the two things! โ€

Mo Da listened, his mouth opened wide, and he was at a loss.

Just wanted to explain something, but listened to Wei Shui then count him down: "It's not as black as you start, the finger print is printed here, this place, if you use a little effort, I guess you can prepare for the future." Seriously, I've heard him say everything about you, and loyal subordinates can't ask for it, so don't hurt people's hearts for no reason, you know? โ€

"Yes." Mo Da nodded and said, "Second master, my subordinates understand." โ€

A lot of things, when you talk about it, feel like there's nothing left. It was also Mo Da who thought too much about it, so he accidentally messed up the proportions. At this time, after listening to Wei Shui's description, I felt even more guilty, and felt that I shouldn't be so cranky.

With such remorse, he actually looked at the matter of using Zhang Yang that he wanted to test it.

Wei Shui glanced at Mo Da twice, and saw that his expression gradually returned to normal, so he turned his gaze away. Fingers' da...... Da ...... tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair a few times, and suddenly looked up and asked, "Jinyiwei, how is the order?" โ€

The sudden question made Mo Da stunned, but what he had recently done was to rectify the matter of Jinyiwei, and this matter was familiar to him. In just a moment, he had already reported the situation of Jinyiwei recently. At the end, he also added, "According to your orders, Second Master, within the scope of the capital, these brocade guards are absolutely loyal to Your Majesty, but each of them is firmly holding the seven inches in our hands!" In the future, if the second master needs them to do something, even if they don't want to, they will do it. Moreover, they will never and dare not say anything about the things delivered by the second master! โ€

"That's ......" Wei Shui raised his head, raised a hand, gently rubbed his head with his index finger, and said, "Mo Da, what do you think of Wang Zuo?" โ€

Mo Da said: "What the second master said, but the Jinyi Guard's palm print is the governor and the commander of Wang Zuo? โ€

Wei Shui nodded, indicating acquiescence.

Mo Da thought for a while and said to Wei Shui: "Second master, this person has more vision than Luo Anlai. Luo An secretly stumbled on us, but he stole chickens and rice. This Wang Zuo seems to have learned a lesson from Luo An, not only is he no longer an enemy of us, but he helps us everywhere! โ€

Wei Shui listened, shook his head and said; "It's not for you to say this. I'm asking you to tell me, how is Wang Zuo? What about his ability to do things? โ€

"How's the people?" Mo Da was a little puzzled, thought about it, and then said cautiously, "Second master, Wang Zuo, this person, I'm afraid that his ability to do things is ...... I'm afraid it's not good. His subordinates wanted to have a good relationship with him, so he entrusted him with some less important things, and the result was ...... The result is very unsatisfactory! Moreover, it can be seen that he has basically recognized the current form, and he is also willing to eat it. I'm not ready to make any changes, and I don't want to make any achievements. As long as you can sit in a good official position...... He should have been very satisfied. โ€

Listening to Mo Da's words, Wei Shui's brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Mo Da stood quietly aside, waiting for Wei Shui to speak, and didn't say anything more.

After a long while, Wei Shui suddenly turned his head to look at him, and said with a very serious expression: "Mo Da, ask you a question, you have to answer me truthfully." โ€

Wei Shui's serious tone made Mo Da be in a trance for a while, blinking his eyes, figuring out that he was not dreaming, Mo Dacai said: "If the second master has something to ask, his subordinates naturally dare not hide it." โ€

Wei Shui nodded and asked, "Mo Da, do you want to be the Governor of the Palm Seal of the Jinyi Guard?" โ€

What the...... Palm Seal Governor?

Mo Da felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

There are two reasons why he was able to gain real power in the brocade guard.

First, it is the current governor and commander of Jinyiwei that Wang Zuo is a waste, he only thinks about living comfortably, and does not want to make progress, of course, the old man is also about to retire, and it is normal to have nothing to want. And Mo Da himself happens to have this ability, and his ability to rectify the brocade clothes and guards is displayed.

Second, it is because Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal army and is directly commanded by the emperor. Although he is called a courtier, in fact, he is the emperor's domestic slave, and the emperor can be rounded and flattened. And Wei Shui is now the favored person of Emperor Jiajing, and with Wei Shui's status, Mo Da can easily obtain real power.

As for the position of the Governor of the Palm Seal...... Mo Da knows very well that he is two pounds! People are all step by step, slowly rising from the bottom, but what about him? Airborne is already annoying, and he has such a lack of qualifications......

Even if people take it orally, the heart won't take it, right? Moreover, Emperor Jiajing ...... Would he like to? Let Wei Shui's cronies be the commander of the Jinyi Guard? Isn't that a joke?

After such careful consideration, Mo Da bowed his head and said: "Second master, my subordinates just want to follow the second master, and they don't have the luxury of being a big official of Jinyiwei." โ€

"Oh?" This answer surprised Wei Shui, he thought that a guy like Mo Da who was obsessed with power would be very obsessed with the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard. Even, he was ready, if Mo Da really showed the idea of hoping to get such a high-ranking official as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he would try his best to pave the way for Mo Da, but for now, ...... Wei Shui's brows furrowed, and he asked again, "Mo Da, you don't have to worry too much. People don't just want fame, they just want profit. It's normal to want to be an official, and many people think, I won't do anything to you because of this. But if you don't tell the truth now...... If you want a paper bag, I'll only give you one chance, and if you miss it, there will be no second time. So, you'd better think about it now and then answer me, you, do you want it or not? โ€

Whether it was power or official position, Mo Da decided that only Wei Shui could give it to him.

If Wei Shui was upset because of such a small matter, then he wouldn't think about anything in the future.

There were too many worries, so that Mo Da finally missed this only opportunity.

"Second master, my subordinates just want to follow your side, and they don't have any other thoughts. The subordinates are not young, they have no background, they don't go through training, and they get a high position directly, which Daming has never had. If you want to start below...... Second master, his subordinates are reluctant. The subordinates have made up their minds, please don't ask the second master anymore. โ€

"Hmm, that's it......" Wei Shui nodded, looking straight at Mo Da, as if to see his true thoughts through his expression. After a while, he turned his eyes away and said, "Since you don't want to, then forget it." Mo Da, I gave you a chance, in the future, you don't regret it. โ€

Hearing Wei Shui say this, Mo Da had already begun to regret it a little. It's just that Wei Shui just said that he can't regret it. Since he couldn't regret it, Mo Da quickly comforted himself and forgot about it. At the same time, Wei Shui brought up another matter.

"Since you don't want to do it, then this kind of thing is official...... Of course, I won't force you. In this way, you go back and talk to Old Man Wang Zuo, if he is willing to abdicate and make way for Xian...... If he is willing to abdicate and make way for Xian, everyone will be happy. Let's hello, I'm good, anything. If he doesn't want to......"

"Second master, if he doesn't want to, he needs his subordinates to do something to him?" Mo Da obviously replied to the wrong intention, and wanted to show himself, but he slapped the sycophants in the wrong place.

Wei Shui glanced at him and said with a smile: "He doesn't want to, do you think you can do something?" Can you convince Your Majesty to change the commander, or can you let the current commander die in the line of duty? โ€

Mo Da's cheeks flushed when he was said.

Indeed, these two, needless to say, the first one, he would never be able to do it. The emperor, he knows who the emperor is, and the emperor doesn't know what kind of gangster he is. As for the latter one...... If you can do it, you can do it, and there is no problem at all, but how do you end up after you do it? Mo Da thought to himself that with his ability, it would be absolutely impossible to end perfectly, and he could only cause trouble for Wei Shui.

"And self-knowledge? Not bad. Wei Shui leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and said slowly, "If he doesn't want to, I will naturally settle the rest of the matter." You just have to ask him if he wants to, remember, talk to people, I don't want to kill someone for no reason. Especially, this guy has been pretty good to me lately. Wang Zuo, it's best if you can retire safely, if you can't...... I'll try to find a good way out for him, and I won't let him end up alone. โ€

Mo Da hurriedly agreed: "Got it, second master." But then, he thought about it for a while, and asked again: "Second master, why did you force Wang Zuo to retire?" Don't...... Did you find a better one? โ€

"Not really." Wei Shui said casually, "I just think that he is not suitable to be a commander in terms of ability or personality." โ€
