Chapter 53: Undercurrents
The emperor's dictation was issued, and Zhang Ru made things much easier, although he is now only a nominal Jinyi Wei Qianhu, in fact, he is still a small banner, but he began to enter the Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi for the first time. When the Thousand Households Lords, including the commanders, saw him, instead of reprimanding him, they all treated him with respect.
Taking advantage of the power that did not belong to him, Zhang Ru successfully raised the banner of the East Division, and the East Division once again appeared in a situation where thousands of households were guarded.
The reputation that was completely ruined by the royal family and nobles was also restored little by little.
Yuan Bin basically didn't care, all the personnel appointment and dismissal rights were all in the hands of Zhang Ru, there was only one reason, Zhang Ru was not afraid of power, and found out the two huge greed of Xu Ning, the general soldier of Datong, and Ye Qi, the governor of Datong.
Because of the huge credit, there is no new appointment for the time being, but he is only allowed to serve in Beizhen Fusi as a Jinyi Wei Qianhu.
With the help of Master Cui Keji and a group of officials under Master, Zhang Ru quickly controlled the situation of Beizhen Fusi, and some of the commanders who were dissatisfied with the dispatch Tong Kewei were dismissed from their posts and investigated, and there were 100 households and 13 people who were not satisfied with the dispatch and were sent to Jinyi Wei Zhao Prison.
For a while, the entire Jinyi Guard was in a hurry, and everyone was guessing what was going on in their hearts, and everyone was in danger, and they were worried that the hard-won Jinyi Guard official uniform on their bodies would be pulled out.
For a while, Mu Bin's threshold in the East Division Room was about to be broken, for no other reason, because Mu Bin was the main person in charge of the internal cleaning of Jinyiwei.
Within a month, we will completely purge the officers with more than 100 ranks in Jinyi and Wei, and those who do not obey the dispatch or whose net worth is not very innocent will be eliminated.
This kind of method not only made Beizhen Fusi smoky, but also gave Yuan Bin a headache.
As the commander of the guards on the side of the Emperor Gongwei, he is still the nominal commander of the Jinyi Guard, but the emperor gave an edict and let Zhang Ru toss, and he couldn't help it. One by one, the old subordinates came to the door with gifts, but they left with gifts in despair, secretly, I don't know how many people scolded him for being a vegetarian meal.
Poor old man Yuan Bin can only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and he knows that he is suffering.
A month has passed, and the general situation on the side of Beizhen Fusi has been under the control of Zhang Ru, and he felt that there was no need to stay in the capital, so he didn't even inform Zhu Youjiao, so he took people back to Liaodong.
The nine sides are the most critical position, the Jinyi Guard has good combat effectiveness, but there are few people, if the force that secretly promotes the exchange of reserves comes to the hands when Emperor Chenghua dies, only by controlling the border army of the nine sides, the crown prince Zhu Youzhu has the ability to fight with that force.
As soon as the first month of the twenty-second year of Chenghua passed, it was the coldest time, Zhang Ru braved the cold and set off for Liaodong, and at the same time, the emperor's decree was issued to officially promote his official position, this time it was not the general of the nine-sided inspection, but the governor of the nine-side.
The inspector general was only in charge of military affairs, but the governor could manage local affairs, and even when the governor of Liaodong was dealing with local political affairs, he also had to ask the governor of the nine sides for his opinion. Such authority is not insignificant.
However, as soon as this decree was issued, it immediately aroused the joint resistance of the courtiers, saying that it was a killing move to allow young people to take a high position, and that it was inconsistent with the ancestral system. Some people even questioned Zhang Ru's ability, asking Zhang Ru what kind of virtue and ability, and how he was able to control the nine-sided officials.
Of course, there are a few people who speak for Zhang Ru, and those people are all recognized princelings, and few people take what they say to heart.
The operation of the secret forces can't withstand the emperor's will after all, the emperor made a decision, the next tomorrow is my world, you question me like this, but do you think I am stupid? If I'm dumbfounded, wouldn't it be better to replace you as the emperor?
This kind of big hat is not something that ordinary people dare to wear, even if it is Wan An, a member of the Cabinet University, who is the head of the court, he does not dare to wear such a hat.
However, those officials did not just stop like this, and the imperial history and the six departments of the Inspectorate wrote to the middle of the matter repeatedly, and the recitals were piled up in the cabinet.
When the emperor was in a bad mood, Wan An didn't dare to present these things, you know, it was not the Qing nobles below who would bear the anger at that time, but him, the head of the court.
After pressing for a few days, it was still impossible to suppress it, and more than 60 officials of the Inspectorate knelt outside the noon gate to ask the emperor to take back his order, and dozens of people from the six departments who heard the news also joined the team.
The Han general guarding the noon gate did not dare to call the shots, knowing that the emperor was in a bad mood and did not dare to disturb the emperor, he finally found a savior - Liang Fang after scurrying around like a headless fly for a while.
As a close attendant of the Son of Heaven, Liang Fang had many opportunities to speak beside the emperor, and after Wang went straight to Xichang, Liang Fang was obscure and rarely participated in the affairs of the outer court. Even if an official from the foreign court came to the door as a last resort, he still adopted the method of evasion and shirk.
has been with Zhang Ru for a long time, but he knows that what this young master hates the most is eunuchs and disorderly government.
These learned that so many officials had blocked the noon gate, and when they asked the reason, it turned out to be because the reward for Zhang Ru was too generous, and Liang Fang instinctively felt that this was a good opportunity.
Soon, his cronie Li Guang, the little eunuch, went to Dongchang and quickly gathered at the noon gate with a group of Dongchang fans.
A group of officials have been kneeling for a long time for two hours, their knees have long been numb, and when they saw a fan from Dongchang coming, a speaker in the crowd showed a frightened face, and even his voice changed a little: "What are you going to do?" ”
Li Guang straightened his back and walked in the front, looking up and down at the officials with gloomy eyes, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty's Holy Communion is not safe, you are still persecuting Your Majesty at this time, and you can't rebel!" ”
The Yanguan was also a hard bone, and said with his head held high: "We are all Qingliu, we are all people who have no money to spare, there is no soldier under our hands, the only thing we can use is our own flesh and blood, if Your Majesty refuses to take back your life, we can only die!" ”
"Whether you are dead or alive has nothing to do with our family, but if you die and block Your Majesty's heart, it will have a lot to do with our family. Those who are slaves cannot share the worries of their masters, that is the incompetence of being a slave. You are important ministers of the country, and our family is not qualified to say anything to your lords, but I believe that you also understand the simple truth of the lord's humiliation and death. Your Majesty has been unwell lately, and even if you have all kinds of complaints, you should not raise any objections at this time. Could it be that you really feel that you want to force Your Majesty to sin against yourself, so you are willing? Li Guang is a smart person, and the words he said also have a certain level, and when he said this, he made a cadre of officials look at each other, not knowing whether he should continue or not.
Li Guang followed Liang Fang and learned a lot of things, he himself is a person who likes poetry and books, he still has some ink in his stomach, and his level of speech is naturally not bad.
Under the half-persuasion and half-threat, the officials immediately fell into a dilemma.
Forcing the sick emperor was not their original intention.
But now gone, then they will be a complete joke, so not now.
But it's not a matter of kneeling like this without leaving, the eunuchs all said that the emperor has been in poor health recently, and if the emperor is really forced out, then they will become sinners in the world.
Just when everyone was hesitating, Li Guang's sharp voice came into the ears of all the officials: "The adults are working hard, and our family understands." It's just that our family can't figure it out, what did Lord Zhang do to make you so repulsive about him being the governor of the Nine Sides? ”
The Yan Guan, who was kneeling on the ground, looked left and right, and finally held back a reason: "He is too young to take on a heavy responsibility." ”
Li Guang laughed: "The adults are all well-educated poetry and books, haven't you ever heard that Gan Luo 12 is an envoy and Zhou Yu 12 is in charge of military power?" Lord Zhang is now almost at the age of the crown, so can't he be a nine-sided governor? It's a good thing for adults to be dedicated to the country, but I'm afraid that they will be used by people with a heart, so that I will lose my loyal ministers, and then you will be guilty! ”
Someone with a heart? Who is this caring person? Why does Emperor Chenghua still have this so-called person of heart after reigning for more than 20 years?
Obviously, even Li Guang knew that there were people with intentions, so Emperor Zhu Jianshen must also know it, so why didn't Zhu Jianshen attack those who had a heart while he was still alive?
In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, Emperor Yingzong was captured by Wara because of the Tumubao Incident, and the descendants of Emperor Zong ascended the throne as an enemy, and respected Yingzong as the emperor.
In desperation, Wara had no choice but to release Emperor Yingzong, the so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, Yingzong is back, what should Daizong do?
Emperor Daizong didn't want to give up the throne of the emperor that he had so hard to get his hands on, so he took a way to make everyone ashamed to deal with Yingzong, that is, to put his brother under house arrest.
If it weren't for Shi Heng's rebellion eight years later to rescue Emperor Yingzong from the sea of suffering, the current Emperor Chenghua might not be able to be the emperor.
Emperor Chenghua is not confused, but he is still very good to his relatives, after he ascended the throne, he restored the emperor title of Daizong, and now he is secretly tinkering with various forces, which is related to Zhu Qiyu of Daizong.
Daizong had a son, but Prince Nanhuai died when he was five years old, and Daizong's two daughters, Princess Gu'an, married Wang Xian, and the other Princess Gulun was eating a long fast.
The reason why there is so much turmoil in the court is not unrelated to the princess Gulun who seems to eat a long fast and does not care about the world, which is why Zhu Jianshen can't kill the killer.
Naturally, some people in the imperial history and the six kolang were instigated, and these people were very firm in asking the emperor to give an explanation, but other people who did not know what to do were swayed by Li Guang's words.
Everyone had different expressions on their faces, and Li Guang didn't say much, and after letting his Dongchang fanzi pay close attention to the movements of all the officials, he turned around and entered the noon gate.
After about an hour, the speech officials gradually retreated, and those who were ordered to come out to make trouble saw that only their own people were left, and they also went home one after another.
In this way, Zhang Ru's official position as the governor of the nine sides was officially finalized.
And at this moment, Zhang Ru was already nine hundred miles away.
