Chapter 752: The Secret Society
Guo Nu and Meng Yan, the son-in-law of Weng, have run Jinyiwei into a monolith, and some people in the court have long been unpleasant.
This time, since even the Queen Mother had a whisper, Wang Zhen was even more instigated, and some ministers who saw the wind and steered the rudder naturally continued to fan the flames.
Guo's release of anger has almost become a foregone conclusion.
Staying in Beijing, whether it is a flat transfer or a promotion, Guo Nu must not be given an idle position, otherwise, this will lose the hearts of the people.
These people desperately said good things in front of the emperor, didn't they just want the emperor to reuse Guo Nu?
The commander of the Jinyi Guard, if he is in the sky, he is a positive third grade, even if he adds a military officer, he will be the end of the second grade.
This Guo Nu is not yet fifty years old, he is in the prime of life, how can he not let people work in this hopeless position for another ten years, right?
You can't treat meritorious people like that, can you?
There are calls from the government and the opposition, Guo Nu's promotion is already ironclad, but where to go, it has not yet been decided, and also, after Guo Nu leaves office, who will serve as the commander of the Jinyi Guard?
Now the Jinyi Guard is Guo Nu's original old man, is he promoted from one of the commanders, or is he a commander parachuted in from somewhere else?
The emperor also has a headache!
Rising from a fellow commander may not be able to hold down the position.
If you are airborne, it will be easier for the Guo family to hold together.
Wang Zhen naturally wanted to arrange someone to go to Jinyiwei to stir up, this Jinyiwei is now an iron bucket, and the needle can't be inserted, and the water can't be splashed.
Even if this person can't control the real power of Jinyiwei, it is okay to disgust the Guo family, at least he can restrain it.
Some ministers disagreed, especially the resolute opposition to the airborne command led by the first assistant Cao Nai, and Jinyiwei could not be trained by Guo Nu and changed to another person. It may not be possible to implement the policies left by Guo Nu.
They prefer to let Meng Yan directly control Jinyiwei, after all, Weng and his son-in-law are in the same lineage, and Meng Yan is also the formulator of the new Jinyiwei rules.
Jin Yiwei is now the embodiment of justice and integrity, and no one can be allowed to destroy it, and once Jin Yiwei acts recklessly, it is not a good thing for the bureaucracy.
It's just some ministers who don't like Guo Nu. He also opposed the transfer of a Jinyi guard commander from elsewhere.
Jinyiwei has a total of two commanders, one is in charge of the Han general's camp and is led by the general of the palace guard, and the other is now Fu Xiaochen, the envoy of Beiya Town!
Fu Xiaochen was promoted quickly, jumping three levels in a row within a year.
In terms of qualifications, Fu Xiaochen is not qualified to succeed Guo Nu as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, but if he considers his relatives and the overall consideration of the Jinyi Guard, he is currently the most suitable candidate to take over the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
There are also four conductors, and Meng Yan is one of them. Sun Chunzong, the fifth elder of the Sun family, was also the commander of Jinyiwei, and then it turned out that Jinyiwei Nanya calmed Du Chong, plus a concubine and a horse Duwei Jingyuan.
There were four people in total.
These four people are theoretically qualified to serve as the commanders of the Jinyi Guard, but the limited consideration is to choose one of the two commanders and acquaintances.
The Han military camp is responsible for guarding the security of the palace, although the qualifications are old, but the Jinyi Guard is not just a security job, so it is actually inappropriate for such a person to master the Jinyi Guard. But at this time, if Fu Xiaochen doesn't have a chance. He was the perfect fit.
Wang Zhen, Chen Xun and others were unhappy again, this is the same as whether Guo Nu has left his post or not, one is in the main and the other is outside the main one.
Do not interfere with each other.
There were also some jokes, some people recommended themselves to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and let the emperor kick him to Yunnan.
Commander of the Jinyi Guard. It had to be someone the emperor trusted, otherwise, who would dare to hand over their safety to another person?
The appointment of a Jinyi guard commander dragged on for three months, until after the end of the year. to have results.
Guo Nu's whereabouts were officially decided, and he went to Xuanfu as the deputy chief soldier, and he was the second grade, which was regarded as a small promotion, which was the result of the efforts of all parties.
Wang Zhen and others hoped to get Guo Nu to the south, but the emperor did not agree, and in the end there was no way, Guo Nu served as the deputy chief soldier of Xuanfu and served as the deputy of Guo Xuan, the Marquis of Wuding.
However, the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard was not decided for a while, and the position of the commander was vacant, which had no impact on the operation of the Jinyi Guard.
After the New Year, Guo Nu took office, the Xuanfu is close, and it is very convenient to go back and forth, but this kind of border general, without the emperor's will, is not allowed to return to Beijing.
Qin Xiaoya and the child were still too young, so they could only stay in Beijing and hand over to their daughter and son-in-law to take care of them, so Guo Nu took Lao Da and Lao Xiang and a hundred guards to take office.
The old man went to Xuanfu, which can be regarded as Meng Yan's handwriting, wrote a handwritten letter, sent someone to Xuanfu, and handed it over to Yu Tingyi, the governor of Xuanda.
Guo Nu did not rise step by step from the border army, he wanted to gain a foothold in the border army, and he could not do it without strong support.
In Xuanfu, the only person Meng Yan could think of was Yu Tingyi, the governor of Xuanda.
Fortunately, the two of them still had some personal relationships before, and Yu Tingyi had some contradictions with generals such as Yang Hong, deputy chief of the Xuanfu, in investigating and dealing with border smuggling and corruption.
If it weren't for the mediation of the chief soldier Guo Xuan, an even bigger conflict might have erupted.
This time, Guo Nu was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief, and his position was second only to Guo Xuan, and I am afraid that it would be another battle.
However, Guo Nu's arrival is good news for Tingyi, although he is the governor, but the influence and control of the border army is not as good as the border army generals, Guo Nu's arrival is his natural ally.
For the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the emperor finally failed to beat Wang Zhen, and enabled Ma Shun, who had been demoted, to serve as the commander of the Jinyi Guard again.
Ma Shun's appointment as the commander of the Jinyi Guard was immediately opposed by the courtiers, but the emperor had already issued a holy decree, so he couldn't let the emperor slap himself in the face and take back the holy decree, right?
Ma Shun's reinstatement immediately told the emperor and recommended Lu Zhong, who was also demoted, to serve as the envoy of Beiya Town, on the grounds that Fu Xiaochen was already the governor of Jinyi and Wei, and it was not appropriate to concurrently serve as the governor of Beiya.
The emperor agreed, and subsequently, many of Ma Shun's subordinates were reinstated and returned to Jinyiwei.
After Lu Zhong arrived in Beiya, he vigorously cultivated his own strength and attacked dissidents. Soon the Beiya was made into a miasma.
Fu Xiaochen had no choice, so he came to Meng Yan to discuss countermeasures with a huff, and if it continued like this, the reputation that Jinyiwei had finally accumulated was ruined by Ma Shun and Lu Zhong.
"It doesn't matter, Beiya just let them go, and there is more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust. If someone wants to be a dog, let them eat more. Meng Yan didn't feel anything, he had expected this situation since Ma Shun was reinstated by the official.
"Give it to him, how do you let it?"
"Withdraw all our people from Beiya, and leave only some people to keep an eye on their movements, and even break into their midst." Meng Yan said, "I plan to set up the Jinyi Guard Secrecy Division!" ”
"Stone, what are you?"
"We need to plan ahead!" Meng Yan sighed.
"Say so. You're going to ......" Fu Xiaochen's mouth opened wide in shock.
"There are some things that should be discarded, just give them up, Beiya will let Ma Shun and Lu Zhong toss them, and we will do our own."
"Externally, the establishment of the Jinyi Guard will remain the same, but we will set up a secret organization internally, I call it the Secret Society!"
"The first members of the Order are all of us. We're going to come up with a charter to look at, join, and how to punish traitors, and so on. "Meng Yandao." I have already asked Mr. Cai to draft these.
"Good!"
"The Jinyiwei Public Opinion Department and some personnel of the Beiya Department have all been merged into the new Secrecy Division, and the General Affairs Office, Operations Department, Intelligence Department, Operations Department, and forensics, evidence, warehouses and other departments under the Secrecy Division are under the Secrecy Division." Meng Yan continued, "I have already discussed carefully with Aunt Sai about how to compile it, and she will be responsible for this matter. ”
"This is the Jinyi Guard in Beijing, so what about the Jinyi Guard stationed in the field?" Fu Xiaochen asked.
"Don't move for now. I think that the struggle is concentrated in the capital, and what we want to control is the Xuanfu, Datong, Liaodong and Liaodong Xingdu, which are thousands of households. ”
"Hmm."
"Where will the people who have been evacuated from Beiya go?"
"Yingxue Villa in the eastern suburbs, where the headquarters of the Secrecy Division is located." Meng Yan Road.
"In what name?"
"The Craftsman Division is going to build an arsenal in the eastern suburbs. Manpower is needed. Meng Yan said.
"Arsenal?"
"Yes, Uncle Iron, they have already made the flintlock pistol I want to make, which is a killing weapon on the battlefield."
"Firearms?"
"Yes, Uncle Fu, you will understand when you see it, I have already secretly played the Holy Master, and he has agreed with me to build an arsenal and secretly build these sharp weapons."
"So that's the case, but you gave such a sharp weapon directly to the court, in case the saint is not at ease......"
"The Holy Lord will send someone to the arsenal, but this person is now my person, don't worry about the secret leakage, after the arsenal expands its production capacity, it can produce at least twenty flintlock pistols per day, but I only reported five to the Holy Lord!"
"With so little, will the Holy One believe it?"
"This form of firearm is not so easy to make, it is easy to be scrapped, and for every qualified five expenditures produced, as many as 20 or even 30 firearms have to be discarded, the cost is high, and of course the lethality is also amazing."
"I see."
"With the extra guns, I will give priority to equipping our own team, and in addition to guns, we also build cannons."
"Build a cannon!"
"Well, so, on the grounds that the arsenal defense needs manpower, we can hollow out the Beiya, I think, Ma Shun will ask for it." A sneer appeared at the corner of Meng Yan's mouth.
Guo Nu took half a year to gain a firm foothold in Xuanfu, and some grassroots officials of Jinyiwei who were excluded by Ma Shun asked for transfer one after another, joined the Xuanfu border army, and continued to serve under Guo Nu.
The control of Jinyiwei seems to be gradually controlled by Ma Shun and others, and the previous vices have also appeared on Jinyiwei.
The infamous edict has reappeared.
Meng Yan retreated step by step, but he still adhered to the Jinyi Wei Nanya and several important institutions with the Royal Renji Pharmacy.
These are either things that Ma Shun doesn't have the courage to get involved in, or Ma Shun can't get involved at all.
As the saying goes, the higher you jump, the worse you fall, Ma Shun and others didn't accept the lesson at all, do they think that with Wang Zhen's support, they can do whatever they want?
Soon, a news came from Xuanfu that Guo Xuan, the Marquis of Wuding, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, suddenly fell ill and died in the town.
The news came to the capital, the emperor wept bitterly, in September, the coffin was transported to Beijing, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Industry to be buried, and his mother Xu, his wife, and the stepfamily all had a graceful decree.
After Guo Xuan's death, Luo Hengxin, the governor of Xuanda, Yu Tingyi, the governor and others, wrote to Guo Nu, the deputy commander-in-chief, temporarily took the position of the commander-in-chief, and presided over the military affairs of the Xuanfu.
In November of the same year, the emperor issued an order to crown Guo Nu as Wu Qingbo, hang the seal of General Zhenshuo, and serve as the chief soldier of Xuanfu.
In the blink of an eye, another year has passed, and the thirteenth year of orthodoxy has arrived. (To be continued......)
