Chapter 61: Ji Gang's troubles
Although Tang Ming doesn't have any real power now, he is finally crowned, and he can be regarded as a veritable marquis. Yao Guangxiao didn't know what he thought, so he pushed himself out and investigated what anti-party cases, is this something he can participate in? said that he just wanted to live a leisurely life, and whether Hou Ye had real power was not within his consideration at all.
What Yao Guangxiao thought, Tang Ming didn't know, and he didn't have to guess, he believed that the old monk would not harm himself and let go of these inexplicable thoughts. Tang Ming and Zhang Yu came to the palace gate together in a carriage, and as soon as the carriage stepped out of the palace gate, an old acquaintance stood in the middle of the road and blocked the way.
Tang Ming looked out of the car window, who else could there be if it wasn't Ji Gang, the commander, but this guy's movements were really fast, the emperor had just agreed to this in the court, and it had not been more than an hour in the past, and Ji Gang had already come to the gate of the palace to stop him. Seeing that his face didn't seem to be happy, although he didn't know what the purpose of stopping him was, Tang Ming still got out of the car to greet him.
"Oh, Master Ji, why is this, if Tang has anything to offend, he won't be so aggressive!" No matter what Ji Gang's intentions are, anyway, if you don't hit the smiling person, you can't be wrong to be polite.
Ji Gang looked resentful, stared at Tang Ming, who was smiling like a little fox, and replied unwillingly: "Master Tang, Lord Tang, you are going to torture the lower officials." Ji Mou put down all the things in his hand after receiving the holy decree, and hurried to welcome the Hou Ye to command the yamen. How dare you be disrespectful. ”
Since he didn't come to find trouble, he was naturally easy to talk to, so Tang Ming pulled Ji Gang and got into the carriage. But he looked at Zhang Yu in the carriage, and there was a gap between the two last night, and at this moment, the enemy was very red when they met. Zhang Yu is also an old general who has killed countless enemies on the battlefield, one of the emperor's right-hand men, was in the barracks by Ji Gang, the commander, and was really slapped in the face, and he couldn't fight back.
If Tang Ming wasn't in the carriage, maybe he would have to make a move. Ji Gang behaved more reservedly, although he didn't have a good face, but it was normal, when he first saw Zhang Yu, he was only slightly stunned, and then returned to a deep appearance.
Tang Ming didn't think too much for a while, which led to such an embarrassing scene, he was caught in the middle, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only play haha along the way, saying something about the weather, food, etc., and there were no nutritious words to ease the atmosphere.
The commander made the yamen not far from the palace, and the carriage arrived in less than thirty minutes, and Ji Gang personally led the way for Tang Ming in front of him, and sat down in the office hall. Ji Gang immediately spoke: "I don't know how the matter of Hou Ye's investigation against the party will be carried out, and the lower officials will also order someone to arrange it." ”
Tang Ming didn't reply, but Zhang Yu suddenly jumped out, and as soon as he pointed at Ji Gang, he shouted coldly: "Do you still need to talk about this?" Ji Gang is about to let go of a cadre in our army, otherwise you will be good-looking today. ”
Regarding Zhang Yu's provocation, Ji Gang didn't take it to heart at all, and even regarded his words as wind in his ears, not even looking at him, his eyes only staring at Tang Ming.
This is very helpless, Tang Ming really wants to ask Ji Gang to release him first, but now that Zhang Yu is making trouble like this, it is difficult for him to speak. Shaking his head with a wry smile, he said: "General Zhang, don't be impatient, don't worry, the emperor actually asked me to investigate the case, and I will not take sides." I also believe that the commander will not come nonsense, right? ”
"Thanks to the Hou Ye who looks up to Ji, the lower officials really didn't treat General Zhang's soldiers well. But after all, this is the emperor's order, and the cause of the incident is also clear. It is a fact that the people who oppose the party are indeed in the army, and we have thoroughly investigated the entire Nanjing City, from officials to the common people, but the rest of the army has not been investigated. The emperor also ordered the officials to investigate for the sake of safety, if there is anything that offends General Zhang, Ji will accompany you first. ”
explained Ji Gang's own difficulties, and also took the opportunity to apologize to Zhang Yu, such a Ji Gang is not an ordinary Ji Gang. Tang Ming was very puzzled, of course Zhang Yu was also confused, Zhang Yu was originally full of anger, but at this moment, Ji Gang had nowhere to vent.
Tang Ming saw that Ji Gang was so easy to speak, and said tentatively: "Since everyone is misunderstood, then I wonder if Master Ji can find out something?" If there is no problem, can General Zhang's people be released first, and then everyone can discuss the next thing calmly and peacefully? ”
"General Zhang's subordinates are all the emperor's pro-army, so naturally there will be no problem, and the lower official will immediately order someone to release him. Please also ask General Zhang to go and suppress your subordinates, so that there will be no more misunderstandings. Ji Gang said.
As long as Zhang Yu can release people first, he will naturally be able to say anything, and after getting Tang Ming's approval, he will follow the people arranged by Ji Gang to suppress his subordinates.
Tang Ming thought that the matter would end here, but he didn't expect that as soon as Zhang Yu's front foot left, Ji Gang suddenly knelt down in front of him with a thud, and said: "Xiaguan begs Hou Ye to inquire about me at Young Master Yao's place, and I hope that Hou Ye will see the old feelings and help Xiaguan this time." ”
Ji Gang's performance today was so abnormal, Tang Ming couldn't understand why Ji Gang, who was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, needed to do such an extraordinary thing. In the early days of the dynasty today, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all speaking ill of him, and the emperor was able to stand up to him. If there is something to ask the emperor, but to ask himself, the marquis who has no real power, this thing is very strange, Tang Ming did not dare to agree at will.
Seeing this, Ji Gang could only explain the reason to Tang Ming first, it turned out that the holy decree in the morning not only asked him to cooperate with Tang Ming to investigate the anti-party matter, but also mentioned that he would change the current system of Jinyiwei, as for how to change the discipline outline, naturally there is no way to know. But after all, he was still deeply trusted by the emperor, and he mentioned to him that he would discuss with Yao Guangxiao before making a decision.
In the past few years of Jinyiwei's career, Ji Gang can be said to have made countless enemies, and there are countless people who Quan Daming wants him to die. Death is a foregone conclusion. But he believes that those who hate him will not only want his life, but the safety of his family is what Ji Gang is most concerned about now.
Tang Ming was made a marquis, he had already learned that his fief was on an isolated island overseas, which made Ji Gang have to be moved. If he sent his family to live in Tang Ming's fiefdom, he believed that with Tang Ming's care, on an isolated island overseas, it would not be so easy for those who wanted to destroy his entire family.
As soon as he heard that Ji Gang's real purpose was this, Tang Ming naturally would not refuse, as for Yao Guangxiao, he did not agree to Ji Gang's request, but only said that he would do his best. With such a reminder, Tang Ming remembered that this time in history should be the time when the East Factory was about to be established. It seems that Zhu Di has also realized that Jinyiwei's power is indeed a bit big, and just in case, he will definitely not let these institutions have any chance to get out of his control.
The establishment of the East Factory should be to contain Jinyiwei, and the person in charge of the East Factory should be that Li Xing, it seems that he has to run to his fiefdom as soon as possible to hide, otherwise he will be caught in these undercurrents, and it will be difficult to get out at that time.
