Chapter 402: Cold Face Sea Peak
If you don't have this holy decree in your hand, you will be tantamount to rebellion, but if you have this holy decree, then you are acting according to the order.
When Wang Dun returned to the camp, he had already figured out this matter, and he also knew the situation in the imperial court, under the current situation, it was impossible to give him soldiers to suppress the bandits, so he could only recruit the troops himself, where to recruit the soldiers? The people could not recruit them, so they could only go to the bandits and rogues, and what he had to do was to recruit a steady stream of soldiers, and send the soldiers to Wang Mang in a steady stream, this was his own merit, and as for the suppression of bandits, it was just a name.
Li Lan reported Xie An's situation to Wang Mang, and Wang Mang nodded after hearing it: "It is true that there is some understanding, but only understanding is not enough, it always takes some tempering to become a great talent." ”
Subsequently, Wang Mang asked Haifeng to come over, Haifeng has been busy rectifying military discipline during this time, with Haifeng, a cold-faced judge, Daqin's military discipline is unprecedentedly good, Haifeng is everywhere, it is silent, not even a loud speaker, and those who dare to speak loudly have long been beaten by the overseers under Haifeng.
Wang Mang also shook his head a little at Haifeng's strict requirements, but in a sense, what Haifeng did was what he Wang Mang acquiesced in, otherwise what qualifications would Haifeng have to dare to dance the whip at will against the soldiers of Daqin.
After Haifeng saluted Wang Mang with a solemn face, he opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, in the past month, the ministers have punished a total of 8,769 soldiers who violated the national law and military discipline, including 67 people above the general level, 128 people from the commander of the thousand, 888 people from the centurion, and 1,769 people from the team leader......
"Stop. Wang Mang shouted to stop, he didn't come to Haifeng to hear Haifeng's report on how many people he had punished, he had other things to do with Haifeng.
Haifeng looked at Wang Mang a little strangely, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister will report soon, doesn't Your Majesty have to listen?"
"Haifeng. Wang Mang shook his head and said, "I came to you today to ask you how Wang Zhi is?"
Wang Zhi, the eye of this year's scholars' list, shocked the government and the opposition with his first-hand article, he directly wrote out the secret circle of friends, Wang Zhi even claimed that no one in the world should have a small circle, and there can only be a big circle around His Majesty as the core.
As soon as Wang Zhi's remarks came out, the government and the opposition knew that Wang Zhi's future was unlimited, and then Wang Zhi directly followed Haifeng to study.
"Wang Zhi performed very well. Haifeng said expressionlessly: "In the past month, a total of 8,769 soldiers have been punished for violating national law and military discipline, of which 1,923 have been punished by Wang Zhi's hands. ”
Punished 1,923 people in a month?
When Wang Mang heard this data, he couldn't help but twitch a little, he asked Haifeng to teach Wang Zhilai, but there is no such teaching, what a good seedling, offending so many people in one breath, don't want to make a difference in other positions in the future, you can only follow Haifeng to death.
Looking at Haifeng, who was expressionless, Wang Mang suddenly said, "Haifeng, you did this on purpose, right?"
Haifeng didn't deny or admit it, and said directly: "Isn't this the result that Your Majesty wants?"
As soon as Haifeng said this, Wang Mang was not easy to speak, if Wang Mang did not have the intention of cultivating Wang Zhi as a lonely minister in his heart, it was impossible, otherwise where would Wang Zhi go, why did he go to Haifeng?
Shaking his head secretly, Wang Mang said: " Haifeng, you should have heard, I sent Wang Dun to envoy Wei, Xie An recruited troops to suppress bandits, I have always been very optimistic about Wang Zhi, I want him to be an inspector, for me to inspect the entire southern officialdom, these years, the southern rebels are raging, after I exterminated the rebel Wang Xi, I got a lot of letters exchanged between Wang Xi and southern officials, from here, the entire southern officialdom can be described as a miasma, I want to send someone to clean up, this person is better to be a fresh face, and has nothing to do with the southern officialdom, so I thought of Wang Zhi. ”
Hearing Wang Mang's task, Haifeng's eyes lit up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this task is very suitable for the minister, it is better for the minister to take Wang Zhi with him, and he will definitely find out all the people involved in the rebels in the entire southern officialdom." ”
"Kill chickens with a knife. Wang Mang shook his head and smiled: "Haifeng, you are a great god beside me, I still have a lot of places where I can use you, you can't move lightly, but a young man like Wang Zhi can give them more opportunities to practice." ”
said this, but in his heart, Wang Mang said that if you let you be a cold-faced judge, you still have to turn the entire southern officialdom upside down, and when the time comes, where will I find so many officials to fill the vacancy, send a young man, no matter what is found, it will be easy to clean up the situation if something happens.
Haifeng heard Wang Mang say this, with some reluctance on his face: "Since Your Majesty said so, the minister also gave His Majesty a secret, Wang Zhi during this time, the minister patiently taught, Wang Zhi has a good understanding, he has learned the ability of the minister, as long as he is given some time to practice, he will definitely be in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate after the future minister, his ability to rest assured, please rest assured, please rest assured, Wang Zhi will definitely give Your Majesty a satisfactory answer." ”
For some reason, looking at Haifeng's confident appearance, Wang Mang suddenly had a bad premonition, and always felt that it was a mistake to let Wang Zhi replace Haifeng to inspect, but after thinking about it, Wang Mang didn't think that a stunned boy who had just entered the officialdom would really do anything earth-shattering.
So this matter was decided, seeing that Haifeng still had to report to him how many soldiers who violated the law and discipline, Wang Mang directly interrupted: "Haifeng, after you go back, write me an excerpt, I take a good look, you say it now, I can't remember it, form an excerpt, and I can grasp it overall." ”
"It's the minister's negligence. Haifeng muttered: "The minister originally wanted to prepare the fold, but the matter was in a hurry, there was no time to prepare, please forgive your majesty, after the minister went back, he immediately handed the fold to His Majesty, Your Majesty has nothing else to do here, if not, there are still a few errant soldiers on the execution ground, waiting for the minister to be executed." ”
"Uh......" When Wang Mang heard this, he couldn't help but praise Haifeng's professionalism, waved his hand, and signaled Haifeng to hurry up, but he thought in his heart that he was the emperor, otherwise if there was such a cold-faced judge as Haifeng supervising him all the time, it would really be uneasy to eat and sleep.
Not long after Haifeng left, Lin Yuxin's figure appeared ghostly beside Wang Mang, Wang Mang stretched out his hand and took Lin Yuxin into his arms, and said, "The matter is done?"
"That's it. Lin Yuxin knew that she couldn't break free from Wang Mang, and said: "Wang Kun's qualifications are good, plus the old general Wang Jian spent his original essence to help, and he broke through to the peak of the innate third layer in one fell swoop, and now he has rushed to Hangu Pass with Jin Dan." ”
"That's good, that's all I can do. Wang Mang shook his head and asked, "Do you know where Hua Jieyu is?"
