Zhang Rui sneered: "What Lord Cao said is extremely true, Lord Zhang, I have to ask you, Lord Cao is not a big mistake in office, why do you always not let him go?" If Lord Duan is appointed as the right attendant of the Criminal Department, then where do you plan to put Lord Cao? ”

Zhang Zilin replied: "Lord Cao often delays official business for no reason, and the Criminal Department has a mountain of cases since he took office. Your Majesty, I want to impeach Cao Xuan for neglecting official duties, befriending internal officials, accepting bribes, and asking the emperor to make a holy ruling. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Countless people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Departments came out to impeach Cao Xuan, Cao Xuan couldn't resist, and looked at Zhang Rui with pity, Zhang Rui frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, according to me, even if Lord Cao has a small fault, it is definitely not as powerful as everyone says, it is better to fine him for a month as a punishment." ”

Yang Yiqing came out and said: "Gonggong Zhang's words are wrong, the mistakes made by Lord Cao must not be ignored, the fine for one month is too light, according to my opinion, it is difficult to warn others if you don't degrade the official and the people." ”

All the officials echoed one after another, and the voices of condemnation were higher and higher, Zhengde thought for a while, and said: "Since all Aiqing feel that Lord Cao's crime is unforgivable, then hand him over to Dali Temple for investigation and punishment, Duan Aiqing, the right attendant of the Criminal Department and the commander of the Jinyi Guard are all officials of the three grades, which one do you like?" ”

Duan Fei said without hesitation: "The minister doesn't know how to choose, so the minister still follows the emperor's arrangement." ”

Zhang Zilin made a final effort and said: "Lord Duan, this is not a joke, you have to think clearly, with your talents, you may become a figure like Song Ci and Bao Zheng in the future, famous through the ages, and if you enter Jinyiwei, you will have a self-defeating future!" ”

Zhang Zilin's words are indeed right, you can continue to mix a book in the Ministry of Officials, and then continue to attack the cabinet and the three orphans and three dukes, the Taifu of the Jin Dynasty is dead and overflowing, and he has been a famous minister for thousands of years, if he enters the Jinyi Guard, it is almost impossible to return to the outer court, who will remember you after a hundred years?

Duan Fei replied without hesitation: "Thank you Lord Zhang for your love, Duan Fei has no ambitions, he just wants to be a person who can share the emperor's worries, be useful to the Ming Dynasty and the people, as for the fame through the ages, I have never thought about it, the emperor, the minister is willing to take over the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard!" Please allow the emperor! ”

Zhengde was overjoyed and said: "Okay, I will appoint you as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and in the future, Aiqing must fulfill his duties and not let me down." ”

Duan Fei knelt down and thanked him, there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, the Jinyi Guards commanded the envoys, in the Ming Dynasty, it was almost above 10,000 people under one person, as long as the holy favor was not reduced, no one would be able to shake his position in the future, and he could finally let go of his hands and feet to do more.

Everyone saw that Zhengde had made a decision, and it was the emperor's own business to appoint and dismiss the Dongchang factory governor and the Jinyi Guard's commander, and it was not easy for the outer court to interfere too much, so they had to admit the facts.

Zhengde was also very happy in his heart, and said, "Do you Aiqing still have this music?" If there is no book to play, then it will be scattered. ”

Wang Qiong, the secretary of the ministry, walked out and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister suddenly thought of one thing, when Qian Ning was the envoy of the Jinyi guard, he was rampant, causing many unjust cases, and the Jinyi edict was full, since the emperor appointed Lord Duan as the new commander of the Jinyi guard, the minister asked the emperor to ask Lord Duan to use the ability of Lord Duan to be able to share the emperor's worries, verify the unjust case, and let the edict be cleared, so that not only can increase the prestige of Lord Duan, but the people of the world will praise the emperor's kindness. ”

Zhengde said without thinking: "Quasi-play, Duan Aiqing, after you take office, you will handle this matter first." ”

Although Duan Fei felt that something was wrong, he could only bite the bullet and say, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Zhengde asked again, this time no one came out to play again, Zhengde said: "Then let's disperse, Duan Aiqing, you go to Jinyiwei to take over, and if you encounter any difficult things, you can come to the leopard room or enter the palace to find me at any time." ”

Duan Fei thanked him, after Zhengde left, the hundred officials gradually left, Duan Fei followed among the hundred officials, many officials came close to congratulate him, and there were many who stayed away from him, everyone's reaction Duan Fei secretly remembered in his heart, and when he looked up to find Wang Shouren, Wang Shouren had already gone far.

Duan Fei knew that Wang Shouren wanted to keep a distance from him, so he didn't catch up, and when he went out of the noon gate, he saw Wang Ping and Wang Zuo waiting for him with a group of people.

Duan Fei had some worries in his heart, and he asked, "Huaming, have they gone to Jishuitan?" Have people from the Lu family been here? ”

Wang Zuo replied: "Don't worry, my lord, the people of the Lu family have been sent away by us, Huaming and they don't know if they have come back, are you going back to the house or going to the Weiya?" ”

Duan Fei said: "Go back to the Zhu Mansion first, Jinyiwei is not busy taking over, I have a question I want to ask Master Xie." ”

Everyone galloped back to Zhu's mansion, and in front of Zhu's mansion, Zhu De suddenly appeared and shouted, "Lord Duan is invited, Zhu has something to discuss with your lord." ”

Duan Fei said, "You come with me." ”

After entering the mansion, Duan Fei and Zhu De came to the hall, Duan Fei had just sat down, Zhu De had already bowed down in front of him, crying and shouting, "Lord Duan, you must save me." ”

Duan Fei was surprised: "Who wants to harm you?" Didn't the emperor protect you? Grandpa Zhang has lost the East Factory now, and he has no ability to deal with you for the time being, right? ”

Zhu De smiled bitterly: "Lord Duan underestimated Father-in-law Zhang, not to mention that Father-in-law Zhang's power in the East Factory is intertwined, it is by no means so easy to be disintegrated, even in Jinyiwei, there are many people who have fallen to Father-in-law Zhang, although the emperor promised to protect me, but Zhang Rui can kill me as long as he sends someone to pretend to be a robber, and the emperor just said casually, he will never remember me again in a few days, and if I die, who will avenge me." ”

Duan Fei spread out his hands and said, "So what's the use of you begging me?" I can't keep you. ”

Zhu De said: "As long as the adults are willing to protect me, I will have a way to live, my lord, I am willing to use this house and two news in exchange for the promise of the adults, what do the adults think?" ”

Duan Fei pondered for a moment and asked, "What's the news?" ”

Seeing that he was interested, Zhu De said more and more mysteriously: "It's about Jinyiwei Tongzhi Gu Teng accepting bribes, framing and framing the whole family, and Beizhen Fusi Zhen Liang Heng, as long as the families of the prisoners during his imprisonment do not honor enough money, he will let his subordinates be tortured with heavy hands, and they will be crippled if they are not dead. ”

Duan Fei took the thin booklet handed over by Zhu De, opened it and took a look, only to see that there were indeed many murderous deeds of Gu Teng and Liang Heng recorded in it, Duan Fei smiled and said, "This is something you wrote recently, right?" How do I know if this is true? ”
