Chapter 379: Zhang Shangzai is out of Datong
On March 10, the fifth year of Chongzhen, Xiao Yizheng was sitting alone in the lobby of the General Military Mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
While looking at the sand table that had been made not long ago, I was making detailed plans for the next steps, and at the same time, I was thinking carefully about some things that should have happened at this time.
Time passed slowly, Xiao Yihu stretched his waist, glanced at the thick paperwork on the table, and only then did he notice the sky outside.
Time is so fast, just like this, the morning has passed, just thinking about this.
A soldier of the Yong'an Army walked into the hall quickly, and when he saw Xiao Yi muttering something, he hugged his fists and said, "General Yu, Jingshi Ti has arrived!" ”
It seems that Jingshi has already had a result for the bombing of the camp last time, and after Xiao Yi nodded, he immediately walked out of the lobby.
The pacesetter took Xiao Yi's words to inform the generals of the Yong'an Army, and Wang Bao, the superintendent, naturally wanted to go out of the east gate to greet each other.
At noon on this day, the cavalry of the Jingshi came to Datong and announced the edict of Emperor Chongzhen.
Cai Jiahe, the former governor of Datong, connived at the military attachés, not only fornicating with merchants, but also turning a blind eye to the private affairs of private houses in the town, so that the officers and soldiers bombed the camp and were cut down and imprisoned.
Zhang Tinggong official added the imperial history of the capital to inspect Datong and succeeded him as the governor of Datong.
Hearing this news, Xiao Yi's heart was very complicated, on the one hand, although he expected that Cai Jiahe would be punished, Xiao Yi did not expect that Chongzhen would directly send Cai Jiahe to prison.
From a member of the party to a prisoner in a blink of an eye, it turned out that those who were very close to him were afraid to avoid it, and even Ying Zongwei, Jin Zuoshi, Jiao En and others only gathered together from a distance to whisper, and no one stepped forward to say a word.
The eunuch who came from Jingshi glanced at Cai Jiahe, and said in a strange manner: "Lord Cai, let's go with our family, there is still a long way back to Beijing!" ”
Hearing this, Cai Jiahe seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant, and now he really sees the ugly faces of those people, and he usually follows him non-stop and flattering.
Once this time comes, in order to get rid of the involvement, I won't even say a word of send-off!
Nodding resignedly, Cai Jiahe took one last look at Datong Town, where he had been in for so many years, and turned around dejectedly, at this time.
"Cai Futai, what you want to say, Xiao Yi knows it in his heart, have a good trip!"
Hearing this generous and powerful voice, Cai Jiahe turned his head in amazement, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Yi, who was clenching his fists at him and saying goodbye with a sincere face.
Looking at Xiao Yi in a daze, seeing the determined look in his eyes, Cai Jiahe couldn't help but ask himself, did Xiao Yi really know what he thought?
Cai Jiahe was stunned, and then looked at those civil officials who were usually good, and suddenly laughed wildly.
"Hahaha, Datong, Datong... Da Ming!! ”
Cai Jiahe's sudden madness was in stark contrast to his usual gentle appearance, Ying Zongwei sneered.
"It seems that this Lord Futai was stupid by the blow."
"It's just, look at that crazy and stupid look!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yimeng turned his head and glared at Ying Zongwei.
The chill at this glance made Ying Zongwei stop laughing suddenly, and the civil officials who had been talking about it were all silent, not daring to say a word.
Ying Zongwei saw Xiao Yi turn around again, and at the same time he was relieved and puzzled.
Hasn't Xiao Yi and Cai Jiahe always been fighting openly and secretly, and now that Cai Jiahe is in prison, he should be happy, but Xiao Yi's current appearance is so unpredictable.
The rest of the people avoided Cai Jiahe, only Xiao Yi stepped forward to say goodbye, which also made the eunuch in charge of the edict frown.
What is this Xiao Yi thinking, aren't you afraid of being implicated?
However, although he frowned, this eunuch did not dare to say anything unfavorable to Xiao Yi in this Datong town, and only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
What's more, there was a bombing camp in Datong some time ago, so it is better not to stay in this dangerous place for a long time.
The eunuch said to Xiao Yi: "Junmen, our family still has to go back to Beijing, so we won't stay more...?" ”
Xiao Yi heard the eunuch's cautious words, nodded with a smile and said, "Then the military gate will not be given away, father-in-law, please take care of yourself!" ”
Seeing that Xiao also had no intention of making things difficult, the three horsemen hurriedly escorted the crazy Cai Jiahe and went away with the eunuch.
After seeing this group of people leaving, Shi Gang suddenly smiled when he saw Xiao Yi, and said with some indignation.
"General, this is a Cai Jiahe, but another Zhang Tinggong is coming, the emperor doesn't trust us!"
"yes!"
Hearing Shi Gang's words, Ying Zongwei and Jin Zuoshi glanced at each other, and they both saw a deep shock in their respective eyes, the people of the Yong'an Army had actually reached such a point that they were so outspoken and rude when it came to the emperor? !
But although they were shocked, no one dared to say a word, they all knew that this Datong town was no longer the Datong town of the past.
Originally, they could go back separately after Ti rode away, and there were no hard and fast rules for them to make, but now none of these civil officials dared to move.
Xiao Yi hadn't given the order yet, and none of the soldiers and generals of the Yong'an Army moved for half a minute, so these civil officials naturally didn't dare to leave alone, so they had to stand in a small group with big eyes and look at Xiao Yi and Shi Gang.
Xiao Yi was very relaxed when he heard the worries of Shi Gang and the others, and he didn't mean to worry at all.
Huang Yang saw Xiao Yi's confident appearance, and the worry in his heart went away for half a minute, and then he couldn't help but smile and asked, "General, aren't you afraid of another Cai Jiahe?" ”
waved his hand, but Xiao Yi didn't say much, just left everyone with a confident look.
Seeing Xiao Yi's back slowly leaving, although Shi Gang and the others were puzzled, they were no longer worried before, and they all returned to the camp to continue their exercises.
When the Yong'an Army was gone, Ying Zongwei and the others dared to curse a few words, and then quietly left separately, even saving the steps of greetings.
……
Speaking of Zhang Tinggong, although Xiao Yi doesn't know much, he is very sure of one thing, he must be a rare good official, and this is enough.
Zhang Tinggong, the word Shangzai, the number Fuwu, the ancestral home of Tong'an County.
Wanli 25 years, Wanli 29 years Jinshi.
At the beginning of the Huaining County Order, after his arrival, he was not afraid of the power of the local wealthy family, and single-handedly eliminated the malpractice of officials taking private boats to requisition migrant workers.
Later, when he was reappointed as the commander of Fengcheng County, he took the lead in donating money to build embankments for the benefit of the people; When he was reappointed as the commander of Qian'an County, he vigorously reformed the tax system.
During the Apocalypse, when he was promoted to the priest of the ancestral hall, the court was already a mediocre mess, and most of the officials in the court were attached to the powerful, but Zhang Tinggong never made friends with him, so that he was ostracized and reduced.
Chongzhen was reinstated in the early years, and after the bombing of the camp in Datong, Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict and ordered Zhang Tinggong to add the imperial history of the capital to inspect Datong and succeed him as the governor of Datong.
After Zhang Tinggong arrived in Datong, although he was over half a hundred years old, he was busy with government affairs all day long, paying soldiers and soldiers, repairing fortresses and making ordnance, and later died of illness due to overwork.
Xiao also believes that Zhang Tinggong is indeed a civil official worth befriending.
Although today's Datong Town and City itself is already in power, most of those civil officials are just hypocritical and wrongdoers, and it is impossible for Xiao to find out what they are doing behind their backs.
At this time, the arrival of Zhang Tinggong was really a relief for Xiao Yi, with such a governor who is not afraid of power and is dedicated to the people in Datong, Xiao Yi has a lot less constraints to do anything.
