Chapter 12: Encounter the Strange Case Again 12
Shen Yueru also reminded Qin Tai that the water inside was very deep. In charge of the household department is the person who is the first assistant of the cabinet, Xu Jie, and the household department is Xu Jie's back garden.
The household department is the direct superior who manages the granary, so the granary has
Xu Jie, who is "like rice", definitely knows about it. The grain roads of the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River were originally under Yan Song, but later because of the war in the southeast, they were gradually replaced by King Yu's people.
King Yu is the current emperor, and his person is also the person who is the current cabinet assistant Gao Gong, which means that Gao Gong must also know the secret.
But not only did he not expose it, but also sent his proud disciple Tan Lun to deal with the aftermath of the war, which shows that they must have a plan.
once
If the matter of "such rice" is known, it will cause big problems, and then it will be very subtle. Xu Jie will use this to strike Gao Gong and Tan Lun, after all, Tan Lun is Gao Gong's proud disciple, and he is the person in charge of the aftermath this time.
Gao Gong will also use this matter to expose Xu Jie's shortcomings and take the opportunity to say what is in the granary
"Catty". Whether it is Xu Jie's suing Gao Gong, Tan Lun, or Gao Gong's calculation of Xu Jie, or Emperor Longqing sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, it is not only Tan Lun who is unlucky in the end, but also the vast number of soldiers and civilians in Jiangnan.
No one dares to manage it, no one can manage it, but if no one cares, it will affect the foundation of the country.
This one and only
The "fool" is none other than Qin Tai, and only a person like Qin Tai who is really stupid enough can have any hope of changing the situation.
Otherwise, there will be chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, and soon the whole country will be in turmoil, and even if the Ming Dynasty does not lose the country, Emperor Longqing will also step down.
Although Qin Tai didn't know as much detail as Shen Yueru knew, he had already thought of the danger. That's why he couldn't wait for his child to be born and rushed to Jiangnan as quickly as possible.
I hope to do everything I can to change this crisis situation. Just when Qin Tai left his hometown and rushed to Jiangnan.
His whereabouts have been noticed by people from all walks of life, and everyone in the capital knows about it. Zhang Juzheng received the news, sighed, and said nothing.
Gao Gong stood alone on the patio of his house and didn't say anything for a long time. After Xu Jie learned the news, he sneered and ignored it.
Emperor Longqing was restless, and later Li Guifei came in to accompany Emperor Longqing to eat and drink for a night before getting Emperor Longqing drunk.
Soon after leaving the Qianqing Palace, Concubine Li Guifei found the great eunuch Feng Bao and asked him all the information about Qin Tai.
The commander of the Jinyi Guard ordered to follow Qin Tai at all times and report his every move every three hours.
Qin Tai must not be allowed to escape from the monitoring of Jinyiwei, and once there is a sudden action, Qin Tai will be controlled immediately.
Dongchang also ordered that all the field staff should pay attention to Jiangnan and Qin Tai. And Lu Fang, the eunuch who was retired in the old palace of Nanzhili, wrote an urgent letter to Emperor Longqing and sent it to Emperor Longqing as quickly as possible.
The words on the note are simple
"Use Qin Tai to protect the throne to protect the country. Don't use the Qintai Digital Dictionary to forget your ancestors and cut off the country. It seems that this Lu Fang is not only not old and confused, but also sees it more clearly than anyone else.
For the sake of their own interests, Xu Jie and Gao Gong would rather sacrifice their disciples than care about the lives of ordinary people.
But Emperor Longqing can't do this, once he forces the people back, what if the country is gone? has caused turmoil, can Emperor Longqing be the emperor again?
Therefore, Lu Fang persuaded Emperor Longqing to see clearly the key to the power and use this Qin Tai to turn the tide. As soon as Lu Fang's letter arrived in the capital, it was suppressed by Chen Hong, the current eunuch of the master of ceremonies.
Chen Hong not only did not give the letter to Emperor Longqing, but also reported the content to Xu Jie, the first assistant of the cabinet. Fortunately, the celebrant is not monolithic, the new celebrant is the eunuch Feng Bao, who is not only Lu Fang's godson, but also a close confidant of Concubine Li.
He memorized Lu Fang's letter and recited it to Concubine Li Guifei word by word. Concubine Li Guifei immediately took Feng Bao to see Emperor Longqing, not only reported LĂź Fang's message, but also reminded Emperor Longqing to pay attention to Chen Hong and Xu Jie.
The three of them carefully analyzed Lu Fang's words, and finally understood Lu Fang's loyalty to the protector, and also understood Lu Fang's intentions.
Emperor Longqing immediately issued three orders, the first Feng Bao served as the Bingbi eunuch in charge of Jinyiwei, and while fully controlling Jinyiwei, he secretly collected evidence of Chen Hong and Xu Jie's crimes.
Second, secretly investigate the actual situation of the granary in the capital. The third sent someone to send a brocade box to Qin Tai.
Inside the brocade box were three things, the first of which was a letter of appointment. A temporary letter of appointment, Qin Tai will investigate as the personal envoy of the Longqing Emperor
The "Rumi" incident was directly responsible for Emperor Longqing. Not only is it not disturbed by anyone, but it does not need to be explained to anyone.
The second thing is a set of official uniforms of the sixth grade, which means that Qin Tai can appear in front of everyone with an official identity.
The third thing is a gold medal, engraved with a dragon on one side
The gold medal of the four words "I am here". I believe that Qin Tai or not, all the people who are officials know the meaning of this gold medal, and those who hold this gold medal can cut it first and then play it, remove officials below the fourth rank on the spot, and mobilize troops below 5,000 soldiers.
Of course, except for Emperor Longqing himself and prince-level princes, no one was allowed to detain and hinder what Qin Tai did.
It seems that Emperor Longqing spent a lot of money to win Qin Tai and gave Qin Tai considerable power.
Of course, Feng Bao, who knew about this matter, would also secretly order Jinyiwei to change from the original monitoring of Qin Tai to the full protection of the envoy Qin Tai.
To say that the efficiency of the imperial court, especially Jinyiwei, is really not low. Qin Tai had not yet come to Jiangnan, and when he had just thought about crossing the Yangtze River, this brocade box was sent to Qin Tai.
Qin Tai opened the brocade box and was frightened by the contents inside. The official uniform is very familiar to Qin Tai, and this is originally the official uniform of his grade.
When he was dismissed, the official uniform was taken away together, otherwise he would have such an official uniform by his side.
What shocked Qin Tai was the gold medal, a pure gold gold medal engraved with a dragon pattern.
"Dragon" is a Chinese totem and a symbol of the royal family, and it is absolutely not allowed to use the five-clawed golden dragon pattern in the people, whether it is an official or an ordinary person.
Otherwise, it will be a rebellion, not only will you die, but you will also be unlucky with your family. Therefore, in addition to the real royals, only eunuchs in the world dare to use costumes or things with dragon patterns.
The significance of this gold medal can be imagined, it represents the dignity of the emperor and the emperor, not to mention the common people, even any minister in the world does not dare to despise it.
Emperor Longqing gave the gold medal to Qin Tai, which meant that he was relieved of Qin Tai and asked Qin Tai to take full responsibility for this incident.
It's a kind of trust, it's a responsibility, and of course it's a kind of pressure. If Qin Tai didn't do a good job, or if he was unfair, don't say that the people in Jiangnan would not let him go, even Emperor Longqing would settle accounts with him after the autumn.
With this gold medal, Qin Tai doesn't have to worry about his identity, not only will no one stop him from investigating the case, but he will not worry about someone not listening to him.
As long as this gold medal is shown to frighten people to death, even the governor and governor will not dare to disobey their orders.
Otherwise, Qin Tai could deal with the other party with the charge of bullying the latter, who was not respecting the emperor's order. As for the manpower problem, Qin Tai doesn't have to worry, Jinyiwei is everywhere, as long as there is a place for Jinyiwei, he can use the gold medal to mobilize them.
What is Jinyiwei? It's the emperor's dog, Qin Tai is now the emperor's envoy, that is, their current temporary commander, which Jinyi guard dares not to obey orders?
Now it's okay, Ziling Qin Tai's headache Jinyi Wei has become Qin Tai's most powerful subordinate. If this matter is said, I believe that more than half of the people will not believe it, but this is the real thing.
Jin Yiwei didn't know if he listened to the orders of his superiors or accidentally saw the gold medal, so he immediately changed his attitude.
Not only did he prepare a ship for Qin Tai, but he also paid all the carriage fees on behalf of Qin Tai. There is as much blood as the attitude, and he simply treats Qin Tai and Qiu Xiaoqiu as the ancestors of his own family.
Although Qiu Xiaoqiu on the side didn't know what this suit and cards were, he knew that the power must be not small, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people who would change their attitudes like changing their faces.
